Construction sites are among the most hazardous workplaces, with risks ranging from falls and equipment accidents to hazardous material exposure. According to the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC), the construction industry reported over 26,000 workplace injuries in 2023. At StrongForce, we prioritize safety through strict protocols, advanced training, and high-quality protective gear to ensure every worker returns home safely.

Essential Safety Protocols StrongForce Follows

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Compliance

Equipping workers with helmets, gloves, steel-toed boots, high-visibility vests, and respirators significantly reduces injury risks. In fact, studies show that correct PPE usage can prevent up to 60% of workplace injuries. To ensure this, StrongForce provides all workers with industry-approved PPE and conducts regular compliance checks.

2. Comprehensive Safety Training

To build a strong foundation, every new worker undergoes a rigorous safety orientation. This covers hazard recognition, emergency response, and proper equipment handling.

In addition, we conduct weekly safety drills and refresher courses. These help workers stay updated on the latest safety regulations and reinforce best practices.

Moreover, daily pre-shift meetings led by supervisors highlight site-specific risks and necessary precautions, keeping safety top of mind.

    3. Accident Prevention Strategies

    Since falls account for 35% of construction fatalities, StrongForce implements fall arrest systems, guardrails, and safety nets on all elevated work areas.

    Furthermore, heavy machinery accidents contribute to over 21% of construction injuries. To combat this, we enforce daily equipment checks and schedule preventive maintenance to reduce malfunction risks.

    When it comes to hazardous materials, we mandate proper handling, secure storage, and strict disposal protocols. This minimizes the risk of toxic exposure.

    4. Emergency Response Preparedness

    To respond quickly to incidents, all sites are equipped with strategically placed first-aid stations and trained personnel who can provide immediate assistance.

    Additionally, monthly evacuation drills prepare workers for emergencies. These drills reduce panic and ensure faster, more organized responses during real incidents.

    Conclusion

    Workplace safety is non-negotiable at StrongForce. By enforcing best practices in PPE, training, accident prevention, and emergency preparedness, we create a safer, more productive work environment.
