Safety is a number one concern on construction sites. Liability issues for the dumpster rental service for injury and property damage is another major concern. Typically, maintaining a clean and safe construction site is crucial to preventing injury and dealing with the repercussions of liability cases. Debris removal is a major factor in maintaining a safe, clean environment on a construction site.
Safety
Scraps and garbage materials left lying around the site pose imminent safety risks to anyone stepping foot on the property. Injuries such as trips, falls, punctures, and scrapes occur when unsafe conditions exist. The nature of construction materials put injured parties at risk for infection and tetanus.
Excess Lumber – may cause falls, splinters, & blunt force trauma
Drywall material – eye injuries, cuts, scratches, etc
Nails, Screws, brackets – punctures, scrapes, abrasions
Metal scraps – punctures, scrapes, abrasions (tetanus, infection)
Piping, Brick/Cement and Insulation – allergies, skin rashes, microscopic cuts
Wire, Mesh, Electrical Components – tetanus and infection
Liability
Most states have strict safety requirements in place for all working situations, including construction sites. Employers (construction companies) or property owners (self-construction projects) must provide a safe environment for workers and anyone who enters the property.
Leaving construction materials lying around on the job site is a serious safety risk and violates most state and local legislation. To avoid this, you must take care to remove all dangerous scrap and other material from the job site as quickly and efficiently as possible. This means keeping up on the debris removal at your site. Violations of safety laws can result in severe financial penalties and in some instances may result in criminal proceedings. If an injury occurs on your job site and you were in violation of safety laws, you are responsible for the accident. Not only may local authorities fine you, the victim may also sue you in civil court, and your insurance premiums will increase.
Methods
While self-removal of construction debris is possible, it is time consuming and costly. Typically, without a dumpster rental, you have to remove debris from the jobsite daily. Renting a dumpster for the duration of your project is the optimal solution. This way, you can place debris in the dumpster as you work and do not have to remove it from the site until the container is full or the job is complete.
