Xiao Bian view: In the field of construction, various security risks threaten the safety of construction workers. From the point of view of the accident rate of falling accidents, a large part of the reason is due to the lack of workers’ awareness of safety protection and the failure to wear safety ropes and other protective equipment as required. On the other hand, the construction sites have not fulfilled their protective obligations and built necessary protective facilities.

As for the occurrence of accidents such as object strikes and mechanical injuries, it is related to workers not wearing safety helmets or using unqualified helmets. The lack of hand protection and foot protection is also one of the causes of mechanical injuries on construction sites.

In site construction companies, precautions should be taken 6 feet above the ground. Complete fall protection must include one of the following: 1. Handrails; 2. Safety nets; 3. Fall protection system.

OSHA in the United States requires companies or manufacturers to provide proper rescue for falling employees, including appropriately trained emergency personnel and equipment that meets standards. Fallers are suspended in the air and will lose consciousness and become fatal within 30 minutes. If the injured can no longer be rescued to the ground in the shortest possible time, the victim will oppress the femoral vein inside the thigh because of wearing a seatbelt, which will cause venous stasis, resulting in erectile intolerance and fatal danger to the victim. . According to studies, people wearing a safety belt and hanging in the air for 4-6 minutes will have irreversible health effects. Experts suggest that the 3-5 minutes of the incident is the best golden time for rescue.
