Worker's Profile & Duties
A ’worker’ is anyone who carries out work during the construction, alteration, maintenance or demolition of a building or structure. A worker could be, for example, a plumber, electrician, scaffolder, painter, decorator, steel erector, as well as those supervising the work, such as foreman and charge hands.
All those who work in the construction industry have their part to play looking after their own health and safety and in improving the industry’s health and safety record
All employees or self-employed persons on construction sites should be better informed and have the opportunity to be more involved in health and safety. You can do this by:
- Ensuring you only carry out construction work you are competent to do.
- Reporting obvious risks.
- Co-operating with others and co-ordinate work so as to ensure your own health and safety and others who may be affected by the work.
- Following site health and safety rules and procedures.
