Doubtful Construction Site Safety.

“How many fatalities?” seems to be an outdated question but “to what extent construction site safety is safe?” makes sense. Despite piles of safety documents, construction companies are not able to cope with the industry standards. Workplace safety rests unsafe due to unknown gaps that make us restless. Why not? Simply pasting posters does not solve the purpose. Safety ownership is the fix to fix. Construction Company or safety services provider or employees whom to blame? At last, none can fight with uncertainty. But does that mean we leave the hot topic?
Have a glance over this real construction site safety case:
A worker got hit on head from the unexpected breakage of glass pane from the domed ceiling, while standing on the scaffold for maintenance task on the fourth floor food court at TD Square in Calgary. The person survived after the 30-minute rescue procedure. OHS is still investigating about it.
Now, we have some construction site safety questions to ponder over:

• Who is responsible for this incident?
• Can employee ask for claims?
• Who should take the issue, OHS or Labor Ministry?

I would like to know your answers, but definitely would be interested to express my perspective of workplace safety. In this particular case, either Construction Company or employee is at mistake. Neither employee worn a helmet nor even company insisted. Such claims should not be entertained. And, the case must be handled by labor ministry strictly. Penalties always play major role in workplace safety enforcement. What is your opinion? Don’t forget to leave your reply!
