Frequently asked questions: Equipment for Construction Labourers
Which work clothes should I choose for a labourer?
The labourer needs clothing that is hard-wearing, comfortable for wide movements and suited to the season. Work trousers and sweatshirts are designed for heavy work, while T-shirts work as an inner layer. The choice of multi-standard clothing depends on the site's risks. Check the washing and durability instructions on the label.
When is a high-visibility vest needed on a building site?
A high-visibility vest or jacket is needed when working near moving vehicles or on roads open to traffic. Garments complying with EN ISO 20471 show the visibility class, which should be chosen according to the context. Keep the garment clean, because dirt reduces contrast and effectiveness. A dirty or deformed garment should be replaced.
Which safety boots should I choose for heavy-duty building work?
For heavy-duty sites choose high-cut shoes or boots with a toe cap and sole suited to the risk of crushing and to the presence of water or mud. Safety footwear must meet standard EN ISO 20345, with the classes shown on the model, such as S5 for some boots. Accessories such as insoles and laces should be replaced when worn.
How do I handle heavy loads by hand on a building site?
Manual handling of loads is governed by Title VI of Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 on workplace safety. To lift a heavy material it is best to bend the knees, keep the load close to the body and not twist the torso. When the weight is high, use a trolley or a support tool. The labourer must receive training on how to lift correctly.
Which barriers and fencing do I need to mark off the work area?
Road barriers and fences mark off the work area, separate the site from the passage of people and vehicles and signal the hazard. Polyethylene barriers with adjustable feet adapt to uneven surfaces. Positioning must be decided with the site manager, according to the risks present and the traffic layout. Check periodically that they remain stable and clearly visible.
Which hat should I choose for working in the sun on a building site?
The site cap or hat protects from sun and light rain and reduces heat on the head. A breathable fabric is more comfortable on hot days. The brim must be wide enough to cover the face. The hat does not replace the hard hat where a protective helmet is required, so it should be used in areas with no risk of falling objects.
Which trolleys do I need to move materials on site?
The two-wheeled or handled trolley is used to move sacks, materials and equipment without lifting them. The capacity stated by the manufacturer must always be respected, because an excessive load makes the trolley unstable. The folding trolley is practical for short moves and for carrying in a vehicle. Check the wheels and the frame before every use.
