Overview

One of the most important responsibilities of a site manager on a construction worksite is to ensure that quality control, health and safety checks, and other safety inspections are carried out correctly. This is a very important role because a simple mistake or small oversight when it comes to safety can cause a serious incident that can result in injury or even death for a worker. A faulty scaffolding or piece of machinery, a lack of safety harnesses, failing to check for hazards before entering a confined space can all result in tragically devastating consequences for the worker and their family.
