Construction work is regarded as hard labor since many of the jobs are physically taxing. It is necessary to move heavy objects and use risky instruments on a daily basis while paying close attention to detail and adhering to strict time constraints.

Not to mention all of the late nights and early mornings! So some workers took short cuts to make things a little easier for themselves but doing so frequently means assuming greater danger.

While there are countless ways to get hurt at work, the National Safety Council (NSC) discovered that there are certain typical safety risks that are frequently identified. The fact that working at a height is at the top of the list should come as no surprise.

Scaffolding and ladder-related concerns were among the most commonly reported infractions. It's possible that employers are unaware of their obligation to offer fall protection, or that the equipment is not correctly worn or connected.

There are employers who don't even have a documented fall protection policy or procedure. The 'Construction Fails' Instagram account serves as a helpful reminder to all that there is a limit to how far you can push these boundaries.

Coming to confined spaces, tragedies have happened as a result of employers failing to provide permits or conduct risk assessments, and they can present a multitude of hazards. Employers shouldn't have any issues if the risk assessment and permission process are completed accurately and all procedures are followed.

Furthermore, as the pictures have shown, a worksite may have a variety of additional risks, all of which need to be recognized and avoided.
