Dear Friends,

Land Valuer in Tamilnadu's Observation...

In Construction field, we observed main point is Safety...

Safety is first...then work....

Following things we have to follow in safety

Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes articles such as eye, face, head and extremity protection; protective clothing; respiratory devices; protective shields; and barriers for mechanical, chemical, or other workplace environmental hazards.

Head protection. Protective helmets (hard hats) must be worn by employees who work in areas where there is a possibility of head injury from impact, falling or flying objects, or electricity.

Hearing protection. Hearing protection must be worn when noise levels cannot be reduced by engineering or other means.

Eye and face protection. Eye and face protection must be used to protect against physical, or chemical agents. Protection must be reasonably comfortable, fit snugly, and not unduly interfere with employee movement. Employees whose vision requires the use of spectacles, shall be protected by goggles

Use eye goggles/ protective cover on face while hacking, welding, glass cutting, chipping or drilling operations

Respiratory protection. Construction sites must have a written plan for procedures to select and use respirators. Respirators must be regularly cleaned and disinfected, stored properly, and inspected. Users must be properly trained in selection, use, and maintenance of respirators.

Safety belts and lifelines. If safety belts, lifelines, and lanyards have been used for in-service loading, they must immediately be removed for service in employee safeguarding. Ensure that these personnel at all times are secured to the building.
Safety nets. Safety nets must be provided if workplaces are higher than 25 feet above the surface and ladders, scaffolds or other safety equipment is impractical.

Workers over or near water. Life jackets or buoyant work vests must be provided to employees where the danger of drowning exists. These must be inspected for defects before and after each use.

Thank You
