Safety Equipment For Building Must Be Provided By The Builders

Safety of people living in the building complexes are very important features to be considered while planning the construction of residential buildings or societies. Though the security measures are tight, incidents like fire and other emergencies demand other safety equipment for the building.  The equipments include ladders fire extinguishers, buckets filled with sand and other safety alarms. All these emergency kits should be readily available with the security force at the building entrance.

The security alarms and security surveillance cameras must be installed. Another most important feature is the presence of emergency exits at every storey of the buildings. The staircases should have safety rails and balustrades to prevent falls. The walls should be fit with railings to help climb or get down the stairs.

.Besides providing safety equipments for buildings; a builder’s foremost responsibility is to safe guard the life and well being of the work force.

To ensure the safety of the work force; a builder or contractor uses scaffolds and work platforms. Knowing that the scaffolds and work platforms are fixed, the labourers working at a height can do their work with a relaxed mind.

The use of light duty work platform helps the workers move comfortably in the area of their work.  Usually these platforms are used when people are working at the sewage area. Fixing the ceiling or other areas where the platforms are needed. 

Scaffolds can be made out of wood, steel or other durable material. Highly recommended option is the aluminium scaffolding.  These scaffoldings are durable and are not heavy.  More over people working in other fields too, make use of these scaffolds.
