Construction Worksite Safety and Toolbox Talks

How to Identify a Construction Site?

Internal renovations will typically have access controlled or protected by rope, warning tape, or a closed-door with safety signboards or posters.
Company’s Employees should only enter a construction site if their job requires them to and their presence is known to the general contractor
External construction projects will be cordoned off with chain link fence, orange construction fence, warning tape or safety cones.

Hard Hat
Safety Glasses or Goggles
Reflective Safety Vest
Long Pants
Steel Toe Boots
PPE is required to be worn from the time you enter the site to the time you leave

Always adopt all safety regulations, rules and follow all signs posted and guidelines
If working more than (4 Ft or Higher) use proper fall protection equipment

Is anyone in the group currently working on a construction site, or will need to shortly? If so what safety measures will they take?

Explain any job task-related stories where personal protective equipment (PPE) prevented a severe injury or where an injury occurred from not wearing PPE.
