The Construction Safety Audit For Loss Control.
The construction safety audit protects your personnel, saves you time, reduces costs and prevents accidents.
Being proactive and finding potentially dangerous situations and hazards is the goal.
Planned safety and loss control audits, performed at scheduled intervals, allow prioritized/efficient corrective actions to be taken.
Nine safety issues that can be found on a construction job site include:
- Office trailers, unused doors and accesses must be blocked or sealed to prevent falls.
- Loading Platforms are another place where falls can happen.
- Stairs are a known location for injuries to occur.
- Ladders or ladder sections that are damaged must not be used.
- Trenching poses risks that must be minimized.
- Rigging slings must not be used when heavily damaged.
- Containers need labels displaying contents and hazards.
- Flammable storage cabinets are used where the amount of flammable liquids being stored exceeds 25 gallons.
- Fire Extinguishers need to be within a specified proximity.
