Guide TECWERKSHOP

Safety on the construction site is a top priority. The right safety equipment, and compliance with current safety standards, are essential to avoid accidents and ensure work safety. In this post, we will provide you with an overview of necessary safety measures, introduce you to high-quality TECWERK safety products, and provide tips on working safely.

Required safety equipment and current safety standards

Work on a construction site poses a huge number of risks. To minimise accidents, certain safety measures are required by law. These include:

• Helmets: Protection against falling objects and impacts.
• Gloves: Avoiding injuries due to sharp edges, heat or chemicals.
• Safety goggles: Protect eyes against dust, splinters and chemical substances.
• Ear defenders: Required in areas with a high noise level.
• Safety clothing and shoes: Increased visibility and protection against electrical or mechanical hazards.

Modern safety standards like DIN EN 397 (Industrial safety helmets) or EN ISO 20345 (Safety shoes) ensure that safety equipment meets the highest requirements.

Tips for implementing safety measures on the construction site

1. Regular safety training: Train your employees regularly on hazards and safety measures.
2. Make personal protective equipment mandatory: Ensure that all workers wear the required equipment.
3. Improve construction site protection: Clear markings, barriers and warning signs improve safety.
4. Set up first aid stations: Quick reactions in an emergency can save lives.
5. Carry out safety inspections: Regular inspections help identify potential hazards early on.

With the right TECWERK safety equipment and consistent safety measures, you can create a safe work environment and significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
