Construction is a high risk industry that comprises a wide range of activities involving construction, alteration, and/or repair. Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious hazards/ risks, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy construction equipment, electrocutions, silica dust, and asbestos. The risks can be eliminated by setting a construction safety objective at the construction sites/ workplace. According to your understanding, explain THREE (3) construction safety objectives related to Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
