Infrastructure development and construction is a demanding industry and the tasks involved with the same can be physically and mentally challenging for the workers. Construction industry has traditionally been notorious for risking worker safety and ensuring optimum working conditions is always the number one priority for any project.
The safety of the site
workers in construction is the most critical element of any infrastructure development
project and an uncompromised factor that needs to be rigorously adhered
to.
It is unfortunate that with an excessive focus on speed and cost-savings in construction, the safety of workers gets side lined and this poses a huge risk to their health. As construction projects involve handling heavy objects and working at heights or in equally demanding conditions, the risks must be alleviated by following proper health and safety protocols.
One of the best means to mitigate concerns of worker risks in construction is by taking the entire project to an off-site build facility wherein better standards of safety and risk prevention can be enforced without any compromise to the build quality, speed or costs.

construction project safety with prefabrication technology
The technology associated
with prefabrication building construction involves manufacturing ither the
entire building structure of individual parts of it at an off-site quality-controlled
facility. Such a methodology makes possible a strict adherence to health and
safety standards.
Traditional building
construction processes pose serious risks to workers as an onsite build involves
a vast range of unknowns and it is impossible to enforce better standards of
risk mitigations owing to the every-dynamic conditions as posed by the environment
and weather.
On the other hand, construction of telecomshelter enclosures, commercial infrastructure, residential buildings and industrial facilities by prefabrication methodology reduces wastage, requires minimal worker time onsite, exposes workers to fewer vehicle movements and also reduces exposure to emissions considerably. Adding to the list, off-site building construction makes possible a rigorous quality control and safety adherence with a standardised manufacturing model.
- Factory conditions enable better management of health and safety risks
- Off-site building development minimizes worker exposure to harsh outdoors
- With works unaffected by weather, there is less risks of slips, falls and tripping
- Prefabrication alleviates the need of scaffolding at site thus preventing risks of falls
- Indoor sites for prefabrication are generally calmer and more convenient
- Off-site construction involves advanced machine use thus minimising labour-intensive works
- Dedicated supervisors manage and monitor the health and safety protocols constantly
