Abstract
Safety on construction sites is an important part of a building worker’s ethical standards. It’s important to take specific steps to make sure workers are safe at all times, from the planning stage to the construction process. Labor safety in the construction of works means simply finding ways to avoid and deal with things that could harm the health or life of people who work in the construction field. There are always risks when building something. So, both employees and employers need to arm themselves with basic information to protect their health and assets. The government gives the investor the job of being responsible for worker safety on the works in front of the government. Safety rules must be followed by everyone working on the project. This paper talks about some of safety problems on construction sites and suggests ways to fix them to make construction sites safer and reduce the number of accidents that happen on the job.
