Concrete Cutting: A Dangerous Job Made Safe

In terms of construction for big projects such as huge buildings and other infrastructures, danger is always imminent. Sadly, as what you can sometimes see on the TV news or Radio, many people has died in accidents related to their work as construction workers. The reasons vary from lack of safety gears to safety standard operating procedures.

Part of a construction job is the concrete cutting and this also entails danger and can cost someone’s life if the operator is not trained for the job. Concrete cutting involves saws and blades which is a potential threat if not handled carefully. But how do you make this job safe?

The first factor is that you need to pick and choose the right tools. You need to use the proper equipment designed exactly for the job of cutting concrete since concrete surface differs from one to another. They may differ in length, depth and height. And this will mean that it will require different cutting approaches fit for the specific surface. Carefully choose the right blade to make sure that your job will be safe and accurate. 

Do not use metal saw blade in replacement to the concrete cutting blade. Both blades serve different surfaces and choosing the wrong one for the job will most likely result to injury from accidents that may happen. So do not compromise your workers. And you may even damage your own equipment.

Okay this is the SOP or the Standard Operating Procedure when it comes to construction: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEARS when doing the concrete cutting job. Make sure that your eyes and ears are protected since concrete cutting is prone to noise and some dust particles may enter your eyes which can cause irritation which in turn will affect your job. You can use eye gears but do not use sunglasses. You also need to use earplugs or earmuffs to protect your ears. 

In the same manner, you also need to protect your toes and fingers since these are the ones who will actually operate the machine. It is advisable for you to wear construction gloves and steel toe shoes to prevent debris from hitting your hands and toes which can greatly affect your job and your safety.
