Why OSH on Construction Sites Should Not Be Underestimated

Work on construction sites is among the most hazardous activities. Every year, fatal accidents and incidents with permanent consequences occur. However, these events can be prevented by following occupational safety rules and properly securing the workplace in accordance with regulations.

Even before construction begins, it is necessary to prepare a health and safety plan as part of the project documentation. This plan considers not only the complexity of the construction but also environmental influences.

Certified safety technicians carry out an initial inspection and propose solutions that enhance work safety. Their involvement continues throughout the entire construction process up to final handover.

According to Act No. 124/2006 Coll., § 21, every employer with at least one employee is obliged to ensure occupational safety services. These can be provided either by an internal technician or an authorized external provider.

A common issue on construction sites is the failure to use personal protective equipment. These habits can be corrected through regular supervision and staff education.
