A pre-construction meeting is performed for critical activities such as maintenance of traffic operations, utility installation, concrete pours, paving operations, etc. This guarantees that all parties are fully aware of how that component of the construction process will be coordinated. In these meetings safety issues are accounted for and addressed.
Pre-task plans or hazard analysis are reviewed by the foremen and his crew prior to the start of the activity. Items such as proper safety procedures, access, tools, and materials are addressed with every member of the crew. The hazards associated with the activity are reviewed and preventive measures are established. The pre-task plans serve to document training, increase safety awareness, reduce accidents, and create employee interaction. |
