Wie schützen Sie Ihre Bauarbeiter vor Krankheiten und Verletzungen?

I don’t. Safety management is a resource not an answer. Company management from the CEO down to the front line supervisors are responsible for creating and maintaining a safe workplace environment. It cannot work any other way. Safety has to be a natural extension of everything your company does in the field and in the office.

Agree with you additionally Safety is a top priority in any project. It's important to plan ahead, identify hazards, and take precautions to prevent accidents. This includes assessing site conditions, providing necessary safety equipment, and having emergency procedures in place. Regular inspections, maintenance, and promoting a safety culture are also crucial. Continuous improvement and staying informed about safety regulations are necessary to adapt to changing circumstances. Prioritizing safety ensures a successful and accident-free project.

As a safety manager, you should be familiar with the risks and hazards involved with all phases of the project. Sitting down with your key project personnel well ahead of the start and going through the plans is your opportunity to communicate your expectations. At the same time we learn as a team how those identified hazards will be overcome or risks reduced to an “acceptable” level. We use a standard internal document that initiates as many questions as answers. Questions initiate discussion and communication with all involved personnel and builds a stronger relationship of trust and respect. Having these things in place before the project starts is critical. The outcome of this meeting is what I build my site safety plan from.

Ensuring the well-being of our construction workers is a top priority. We implement a comprehensive safety program that includes regular training sessions, providing personal protective equipment (PPE), conducting thorough site inspections, and promoting a culture of open communication. Additionally, we prioritize health screenings, offer wellness programs, and actively involve our workers in safety discussions to address any concerns promptly. Our commitment to a safe and healthy working environment extends beyond compliance, focusing on creating a culture that values and protects every member of our team.

Methods and way of communicating is important here - many workers don’t necessarily have access to technology that we now adopt - older people have specific trade experience and may not have the smart phone or internet access to get into this so important as an employer you consider access and making it available to all to allow them to gain insight to the communication on these platforms

Establish three way communication between all employees working on a task. No one makes a move until communication between all employees involved has been verified.

An effective communication strategy for passing and receiving information from client to contractors, and craftsmen is essential in the success of any project. Studies have shown that ineffective communication may result in poor performance which affects time, costs, quality, and safety in construction. This could result from the complications and problems of data becoming distorted during the process or transfer of information. I think the technique of communication is vital and should involve all methods from written, to verbal, and technological to ensure that the information transferred is complete and concise.

Communication should be very important for any safety professional as it will provide roles, ownership, directions to avoid any incidents nor accidents. When communicating, one should always promote collaboration to ensure that all workers feel empowered and heard which in return will cooperate to prevent any incidents nor accidents.

Exactly, feedback is very crucial. One way communication is not the solution. However, in most of the construction projects communication is mostly driven in a top-down approach, which may create a gap between the real scenario and envisioned scenario of the construction processes. Thus, the bottom-up approach is more important. Once one accommodates more feedback from the bottom-up approach, it opens up a more interactive and collaborative way to solve the health and safety issues.

Consider what’s necessary for the range of trades you have on a project - always define what you think is desirable and what’s mandatory - also good to differentiate between training and qualifications when setting stipulations on competency requirements

Aside from safety induction, we can develop safety training and education matrix. This matrix can facilitate us to set target participants and kind of topic shall be passed by each worker (Job Position). Through education can deliver deep understanding knowledge, meanwhile through appropriate training which involving practice can deliver competencies or skill which suittable for worker and site construction characteristic it self

Conduct comprehensive safety training for all workers, focusing on hazard recognition, safe work practices, and emergency procedures. Include training on ergonomic principles to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Establish and enforce safe work practices, such as proper lifting techniques, equipment usage protocols, and safe material handling procedures. Encourage workers to take regular breaks and rotate tasks to prevent fatigue and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. Implement programs for health monitoring and surveillance to detect early signs of illness or injury. Offer regular health screenings and access to medical resources to promote early intervention and treatment.

Training of course is a great base to making sure people have a basic understanding of what they need to do and how to do it safe, Ongoing coaching and mentoring always has to be encouraged. The more you get people to intervene and do so in a respectful manner the better team you will build. Pay attention to the work force you have and get people with strengths in certain areas to pass that knowledge along to others.

Ensure safety procedures are understood at all levels & that each supervisor understands what is expected of them. The best way to solve this issue includes a Trainer-Train process. Each supervisor (Trainer) explains the procedure to each one of their direct subordinates (Trainee). The Trainee now becomes the Trainer relays the information to their subordinates. It is better if this is kept to no more than 10 people at a time. Ensuring each one of your team members CLEARLY understands what is expected of them and what is expected of others keeps the transfer of information much more focused and provides less stress of asking questions along the way.

A well managed asset plan or structure for work equipment or tools is always needed here to ensure you maintain visibility of what’s used on site - that way you can control training need and maintenance for safety at all times to reduce possibility of incidents

It is critical to provide workers with appropriate equipment in order to ensure worker safety on construction sites, Regular maintenance and inspections are required to ensure optimal operation. Furthermore, it is critical to provide workers with adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as helmets, gloves, boots, goggles, and masks, and to guarantee that they wear them appropriately and consistently. This improves worker performance, comfort, and protection against potential risks. Proper equipment not only increases productivity but also reflects your dedication to providing a safe working environment for your staff.

Safty equipment is a critical part of any successful project. As a management team looking ahead and forecasting what will be needed in advance is very important in making sure we always have what is needed on site. Construction workers in general want to make progress when we do not provide the right equipment that is when short cuts are taken that can lead to delays for investigations or worst.

Make sure your monitoring is realistic with achievable aims and recommendations - set your mandatory stipulations and audit against that otherwise always good to support with assurance advice as opposed to audit or inspection as better received for implementation and can make it more practicable

Monitoring quality of work and the workers themselves can save time and cost. Rework or non compliance can cut into the profits of a project and the reputation of a company, not only can this effect the current project but it can also effect future work for the same owners. Walking down project sites as much as possible with Field level supervision can and will pay off during any construction project.

There’s no days off from safety, making sure we all go home to our families in tact is the goal of every day for every job. Safety walk throughs of the site should be done daily by someone who knows the dangers to look for and are capable to address if found.

Looking for the cause of an incident or accident and not the blame will be much more impactful on any construction project. We can not change what already happened but we can learn from it and pass on the knowledge to everyone on site, of course we want to prevent and not be reactive but once an incident has happened we need to learn from it not concentrate on who or what is at fault.

Communications n understanding, clear information of the job scope at the tools meeting Approachable leaders Monitoring the new hires n mentoring them

One factor, that I have seen in the Indian Construction Industry, is the role of 'team bonding' within and across the sub contractors. When multiple subcontractors work together, sometimes the cohesion gets missing. Thus, hiring parallel subcontractors for similar or related activities is very important if you want to work them in cohesion and do the work safely.

Conduct morning safety briefs/ tool box talks with your team prior to the start of work daily. Get your people involved by designating someone different each time to conduct the brief and open the floor to discussion afterwards. Taking just 10 minutes to discuss safety prior to the start of work gets workers to think about safe work practices before they engage in the day to day taskers.

One thing I highly recommend is to first ensure that safety measures are highlighted and budgeted for in the project costs. List and paste safety rules on site and read them out every beginning of shift as you can have new workers in site. Keep inspecting to spot possible hazards and ensure rules are adhered to. Compile reports of all incidents no matter how minor they seems. Finally, be strict and don't compromise even on what seems little.

1. Develop a comprehensive safety program: Establish a written safety program that outlines policies, procedures, and best practices to prevent injuries and illnesses. Make sure it aligns with local regulations and industry standards. 2. Implement sanitation measures: Provide access to sanitary facilities, including clean water, toilets, and handwashing stations. Promote good hygiene practices to reduce the spread of illnesses, such as frequent handwashing and proper respiratory etiquette. 3. Encourage rest and breaks: Encourage regular rest breaks and provide shaded areas during hot weather to prevent heat-related illnesses. Adequate hydration should be emphasized.
