In light of this, our team will be sharing some quick tips on how you can maintain safety in a rail and civil construction or maintenance project in this latest article on the JWB Constructions blog.

Always Use the Right Safety Equipment

Fortunately this is rarely an oversight, however it is still an important tip to keeping your worksite safe. Always make sure all workers are wearing the right safety gear, whether it be safety goggles, earplugs and earmuffs, high-visibility workwear, gloves or face masks. This should always be a key element of the safety plan of any rail and civil construction and maintenance project and one that is continually monitored and inspected on site.

Utilise the Right Tools & Equipment for the Job

It is also important to always use the right equipment for the project to ensure that the work is completed safely and efficiently. It can be very dangerous to use incorrect tools and equipment. JWB Constructions offers plant & equipment hire for all the tools & equipment needed for civil and rail maintenance & construction projects.

Always Have a Rail Protection Officer for Rail Projects

A rail protection officer is the most important element of your safety plan for any rail construction or maintenance project. Rail protection officers are responsible for varying levels of safeworking worksite protection and primarily work to keep the rail construction or maintenance project and its rail workers safe.
