First and foremost, the top priority for any Construction Manager should be the safety of his or her team. Every project is going to have its own unique tasks and hazards associated with execution, but what does site safety really mean?
With every Accident Activity Analysis, comes the need for risk assessment codes. This standardized system essentially takes all of the information you’ve compiled in your AHA and gives it a value based on each hazard’s severity, probability of occurrence.
Anytime your project calls for someone to be working at height, you’re legally required to have a site-specific Fall Rescue Plan in place.
In the construction industry, a fall rescue is often one of the most intense and demanding situations one can experience when on the job. The life of your injured team member could hang in the balance, and an ill-prepared crew can lead to disaster if they have to address such an issue on the fly.
When completing a project in our industry, quality control has to be a top priority for the management team. If corners are cut, you risk falling short on your deliverables – Or worse. Team members may be put into unnecessarily hazardous situations. That’s where hold points come in. They’re predetermined moments during the timeline of the project where work is required to be stopped so that a site inspection can take place.
