list three types of physical hazards found on a construction site?

Answer 1

falls, impact( falling objects) moving machinery

Answer 2

Oh my there are so many.

You falling off something or tripping over something.

You working with saws, hammers, etc.

Others not being careful while handling saws, hammers, etc.

Nail guns, oh my these are really dangerous.

I install air conditioning ducts. I was in an attic when all of a sudden I hear them working on the roof. I screamed at them that I was just under them. It was kinda scary as nails were coming through the boards and black felt and very close to my scalp.

Back injuries are common. Lifting, hauling, pulling, etc. more than your body can allow.

I was putting a unit on the roof. I was the one climbing up the ladder when the guy on top yelled that I needed to help him and push. Well I'm a very small girl and I do not have the strength of a man. So I pushed and nothing. So I held onto each side of the ladder and pushed with my head while climbing up. That one cost me a pretty penny. I spent about a week at the chiropractors.

Other vehicles moving around while you are there. Cement trucks, equipment, etc.

You get the idea it can be a very dangerous place to be. :)

Remember your (ppe) meaning personal protection equipment
boots, high vis waistcoat, gloves, goggles ,and the hard hat
So boots in case you trip over objects
high vis waistcoat so people can see you
gloves to protect your hands
goggles to protect your eyes
and lastly the hard hat to protect your head
common sense is all that is needed on a building site and observation
