Physical, chemical and biological hazards on construction site

Introduction

Due to the high number of accidents that occur in construction and the consequences this has for workers, organizations, society, occupational safety and health (OSH) has become a very important issue for stakeholders to take care of the human resource. Introduce the topic and highlight the direction this research paper will take on the biological, physical and chemical hazards discovered on the construction site based on the survey and evaluation forms completed. Discuss workers’ rights and employers’ responsibilities to workers as well as the look at some health and safety products that can mitigate some of the hazards discovered.

Body

Work Site Hazards- Risk Assessment

Physical Hazards – Evaluate and discuss the occupational physical hazards workers on the construction site face while working

Biological Hazards - Evaluate and discuss the occupational biological hazards (if any) discovered from the evaluation form

Chemical Hazards – Evaluate and discuss the chemical hazards discovered from construction site

Risk Prevention & Evaluation

Discuss some occupational health and safety practices that can help mitigate or eliminate the hazards discovered in our evaluation of the construction site.

Employers Responsibilities & Workers rights

Discuss the employer’s responsibilities to their workers and the rights of the employees as it pertains to a safe working environment. A look a some of the policies and laws in place to protect the health and safety of the workers and the organizations that are responsible for overseeing and enforcing them.

Recommendations

Based on the survey and evaluation forms provide recommendation for improvements, policies, as well as possible future trends and implementation of occupational safety and health measures to meet those changes.

Conclusion

Recap what the paper sought to establish and discuss findings and conclusions on the topic.
