The U.A.E is witnessing an era of development in all its emirates; many constructions of buildings and infrastructures are good evidence of its development. There are many workers involved in the construction field and as a result many serious accidents have occurred causing them to be seriously injured or even to die.
The main reason for fatal accidents or the serious accidents is always the negligence of some construction company towards safety rules and regulations; as an example they don’t provide safe environment for their labourers like proper guidance and instructions or proper working hours. In addition they are hiring unprofessional labourers without giving them proper safety training. Excessive pressure put on labourers by their employers to finish tasks on certain duration to precede the work schedule without taking into consideration their mental/psychological condition contributes heavily to the problem. The labourers themselves contribute to the problem as well; some of them do not follow safety procedures nor use the proper tools or materials nor the proper safety gear.
One solution to avoid accidents is to ensure the companies adhere to safety regulations and rules; they must ensure the adherence of their labourers to safety regulations. Companies must rely more on professional labourers and provide safety training in addition to assigning permanent safety supervisor to monitor and guide the laborers. On the other hand labourers must be more careful in their career; they must know that they are the ones who are in charge in the first place about their safety, so their adherence to safety rules is a must.
These are some ideas to prevent accidents in construction fields; however accidents will never stop but can be prevented or at least can be minimized.
