Accident prevention in materials handling at building construction sites

In addition to efficient scheduling of handling, accidents may be significantly reduced by ensuring that there are sufficient mechanical aids for handling construction boards, doors, windows, fittings, etc., in the machinery and equipment plan on site. The information systems of a construction enterprise should be developed in the direction of tying project planning tightly to production (i.e. actual construction) planning. Details which improve occupational safety should be clearly marked on all drawings. In choosing a lifting machine or device for a given job, the following factors should be carefully considered: sufficient knowledge of the machinery available and suitability to the prevailing conditions of the machine or device chosen.
