Safety should be your first thought as a home builder, especially when choosing new construction subcontractors to work with you. Everyone on the job site needs to maintain high safety standards to avoid accidents and injuries. Whether selecting plumbing contractors or electricians, you need to find out about how they handle safety and use that information in making your decision.
Why Safety Matters on a Residential Construction Site
Though most residential construction projects are not as large as commercial ones, they still present several serious hazards for those on site. In 2020, 976 fatalities occurred among those in the construction and extraction industries. Additionally, 771 deaths happened to those within construction trades, such as bricklayers and masons. Plumbers and those with related jobs had 30 deaths, and electricians accounted for 88 fatalities. These workers often are subcontractors on building projects, so if you are a builder, you must carefully choose your contractors to ensure safety on site.
Plumbing Contractors and Safety
Common hazards on residential construction sites include falls, weather effects, and excavation collapses. For plumbing contractors, these types of hazards are also present. Like other contractors on your site, the plumbers you choose should pay attention to current concerns. They need to be aware of their surroundings and what other teams on the job site are doing. For instance, everyone on site needs to know when construction vehicles or power tools are in use to ensure they avoid dangerous areas and have appropriate personal protect equipment (PPE) on.
New Construction Safety Preparation
New construction contractors must take safety seriously. Our plumbing contractors at Plumbing Concepts have weekly safely discussions to get reminders about particular safety concerns on the job site. Regular safety talks can help reduce safety problems on the home building site.
