Construction work is extensive and includes most building, civil engineering or engineering work, from general building to specific refurbishment, repair, maintenance or civil engineering works. The construction industry differs from other industries, as many dangers are often unidentified. As a result, it can be very difficult to educate end users about the potential hazards:
- Falls from height account for around half of all fatal accidents
- Struck by flying/falling objects
- Struck by moving vehicle, contact with overhead live cables
- Exposure to loud noise
- Exposure to UV radiation
- Presence of chemical contaminants, e.g. asbestos...
- Risk of projectiles, airborne particles, toxic and chemical hazards, dust, etc.
