Construction work is characterized by the seriousness of the work site such as the maintenance and construction of houses and other work that includes a number of tasks and dangerous conditions such as working from a high altitude and many cases of injuries and deaths occur. And during the last week of last October, three deaths occurred from one city in the valley and a number of cases of permanent disability, as a result of a number of reasons, including not using safety tools at work. In the Occupational Health and Safety Management Manual, employers are required to provide protection using safety tools to prevent falls, especially from high sites at work, and there are rules, laws and special instructions to protect against falls, injuries and deaths. We find a great negligence in using safety tools in the work environment and applying These instructions are realistic. In work sites, especially construction, it is imperative that workers be on a degree of caution, especially in high work sites.
Occupational safety tips must be taken at construction sites, including:
* Using the worker's personal safety tools, which is to protect the worker's body from potential dangers, including the helmet and seat belt in order to avoid the risk of falling from the top. We also recommend enabling the scaffolds to be of high quality, as the absence of that will cause the scaffold to collapse that was not in the required specifications and overload it, and to beware of overturning the moving scaffold or installing on an uneven floor, and that will cause injuries.
* It provides guiding and awareness regulations for workers to avoid falling into dangers and contributes to occupational safety, which aims to reduce injuries, especially at work sites, and preserve the work environment.
The office of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor in the Valley and the Sahara, represented by the Department of Occupational Health and Safety, presents a lot of discussion panels, workshops, seminars and brochures, where awareness is raised about the importance of using occupational safety tools. Clarify the laws and regulations regulating work between the worker and employers.
The Labor Law in construction clarifies in the case of injuries at work and the entitlement of workers. If an injury occurs to employers or contractors, he must be paid his wages for the period of receiving treatment according to the law. We find that some employers are only concerned with the completion of work, and employers bear financial responsibility for injuries during work. We stress the importance of the existence of associations and trade unions for workers that care about them and their rights, and we stress the interest in raising awareness of occupational safety and the establishment and establishment of savings banks and social solidarity funds for the category of workers, in which contractors, philanthropists and workers themselves contribute, and contribute to the care of this important segment of society that did not receive attention as required. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said (The believers in their mutual affection and mercy are like one body).
