The most common hazards on a construction site are those that can have serious and immediate consequences for workers, such as those considered "zero tolerance." Once the most frequent hazards have been corrected, all other hazards should be addressed in a similar manner. Corrective measures should be put in place to eliminate hazards at their source, minimizing the chance of accidents or injuries. It is important to first establish a time frame and designate a person in charge for the implementation of corrective measures before implementing them. Once the hazards have been corrected, it's important to put the controls in place to ensure that the chosen solutions are both effective and sustainable.
