Practical Guide for Safety on Construction Site

Abstract

The paper focuses at provision of a practical guide for the use during the safety coordination, work leaders/managers at implementation of construction projects and maintenance activities to create safe working conditions and to minimize the risk and number of work accidents. The thesis includes applicable practical solutions and procedures. In our contribution we tried to define the basic procedures that would contribute to safety coordination improvement on the sites not only in Slovakia while emphasizing the trends focused on monitoring human behavior, since human failures cause up to the two thirds of incidents. Data are taken from a nuclear power plant construction with over 40 million hours worked at various civil and installation activities. The tools we can use as efficiency indicators of individual actions taken. Their application in correct time can significantly contribute to minimize the work accidents and to protect health of employees.
