    Safety is important in the construction industry because it protects workers from harm, injury, sickness, and death through providing safe working conditions. The construction industry involves many risks, so all employers must provide safety for their employees. The objective of safety is to conserve valuable human resources by assuring protection against all occupational hazards and preventing loss of life or damage to workers and property. It is always better to take preventative safety measures than to need a cure after an accident or injury occurs.

    CE 18: Construction Methods and Project Management

    Assignment No. 2

    Name: Basbas, Christine Ann I.


    Year/Section: CE -V
    Date: January 20, 2020

    Topic: What is safety and why is it important in the construction industry?

    Better Safe than Sorry

    Normal people will say, “Learn to leave the table if respect is no longer served.” But in the
    construction industry, it prefer to say “Learn to leave your job if safety is no longer served.” Yes, we
    are all going to die anyway but are you not going to be more satisfied entering heaven if you already
    serve your purpose enough? Everything will come to an end, but please don’t let your death surprise
    you. As the super spanking aged-long-lived-ancient-senescent-oldest saying says “Prevention is better
    than cure.”

    But what is this so called safety all about? Safety is having freedom from harm or danger. It is
    the condition of being safe from undergoing or causing hurt, injury or loss. Who wants to get hurt,
    right? Encapsulating it all out, safety simply means the state of being safe. It is known to us that the
    construction industry is a very risky place to be in. And all the workers inside a construction site in
    consideration from the most bottom up to the top positions, all do deserve to be secured and to be
    safe.

    Construction industry will never be step up progress without going through a process, and this
    process will never progress without the workers which serve as the fuel in the construction site. That
    is the very reason for a company, firm, or whatsoever thing that runs a construction site to always
    keep in mind and to always consider the safety of each and every single person involved. The advent
    of industrialization and the continuing introduction of technological innovations in our country today
    have, however, correspondingly increased the number and types of occupational hazards that our
    workers are exposed to.

    The objective of safeness in the construction industry is to protect every workingman against
    all of the dangers with regards to injury, to sickness or the worst which is death through safe and
    healthful working conditions, thereby assuring the conservation of valuable manpower resources and
    the prevention of loss or damage to each and every life of all workers and properties, and to be
    consistent with the national development goals and with the industry’s commitment for the total
    development of every worker as a complete human being. Employees mean any person hired,
    permitted or suffered to work by an employer. Therefore, all employers shall mean to provide safety
    for all employers in return of their hardship.

    “Work Accident” shall mean an unplanned or unexpected occurrence that may or may not
    result in personal injury, property damage, work stoppage or interference or any combination thereof,
    which arises out of and in the course of employment. On the contrary to this, “Safe or Safety” shall
    refer to the physical or environmental conditions of work or employment, which substantially comply
    with the provisions of this Standards. There is no reason for all of the employers to not provide
    enough safety precaution to all of their workers. Safeness on site must be the very best and must be
    the very first thing to be always considered especially to a risky and harmful place in which work is a
    no joke.

    It is always better to be safe. It has never been better to be prepared for us to be secured.
    There is no need for a cure if prevention was already served. Safeness must be an everyday necessity
    and not just an option when everything else fails.
