Did you know that 6 construction workers die every day in the US, from largely preventable accidents? However, there are many safety precautions that can be taken, let's look at a few of the most important hazards and precautions for them:

Air Purifying Respirators

These can be worn to prevent inhaling toxic fumes and particles from painting, sandblasting, road construction and more. Using a filter or blower method to keep breathable air around the head, they do not provide oxygen. Use of these can help keep workers lungs clear and healthy.

Asbestos

About 10,000 people die each year due to asbestos related diseases. While most uses of Asbestos have been banned, Asbestos is still used in some roofing panels and packing gaskets. If you will be working with Asbestos, great care should be taken. Use a respirator, but also use a HEPA vacuum to remove additional particles from the air. Make sure to wear throw away clothing, which you can remove and throw away after your exposure to Asbestos. If you'll be removing Asbestos, many states recommend or require that you leave it to a professional or have a professional on hand to make sure you are removing it correctly and safely. With such a dangerous material, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Back Injuries

Back injuries account for about 25% of all construction site injuries. If you do any type of lifting, pulling, lowering, carrying etc, you are at risk for a back injury. However, you can protect yourself by using carts, forklifts, dollies and hoists whenever possible. Also, if materials weigh more than 50 pounds, get another worker to help you. When lifting, keep the materials close to your body and try not to twist yourself. When you pick something up from the ground, try to support yourself by leaning on something and don't bend over, instead make sure to kneel, on a pad if possible.
