business No construction company wants a project to go poorly, but accidents or slowdowns happen. Contractors need to keep a close eye on things to prevent disasters. Read about four red flags to watch for on a construction project to ensure your project goes smoothly.
One red flag you should watch for on your project is equipment that appears faulty or in poor condition. If employees use these tools, it can result in a dangerous accident.
If you spot signs your chain slings are experiencing corrosion, remove them from the site immediately. That way, you will guarantee no employees use them and cause an incident that results in injuries or something worse.
Another red flag to watch for on a construction project is worker or subcontractor turnover. If you frequently see new workers appearing on your project site, you may want to keep a close eye on them. They may not have the necessary training to complete tasks safely.
If you see frequent changes in the subcontractors on site, it may mean the previous subcontractors’ relationships with the contractor have soured. It can also indicate that the contractor wants to find a less costly provider to complete the work and keep more of the payment.
You also should keep an eye out for an unrealistic, hectic construction schedule. Not only will it be hard for you and your employees to stick to this schedule, but it also may result in people becoming stressed, rushing their work, and completing tasks haphazardly.
Proceeding without approval is another red flag in construction. If your company installs products on the project without getting the architect’s sign-off, it may be a tactic to make work more efficient or meet deadlines. Unfortunately, the team is skipping an important quality control step that may lead to more problems for your project.
Knowing these warning signs can keep you safe and your project out of danger. Then, workers can complete tasks safely and successfully, with far fewer accidents.
