Sun Safety Tips for Construction Workers

 hello and welcome back to the industry

safe video blog jobs that involves
significant amounts of outdoor activity
put employees at a high risk for sun
overexposure particularly during the
summer construction workers are six
times more likely to develop skin cancer
than the rest of the country because
they're exposed to up to ten times more
than the recommended daily allowance for
UV exposure to protect against these
overly harmful UV rays workers should
wear Sun appropriate personal protective
equipment consistently apply and reapply
sunscreen and take short cooldown breaks
in the shade every two hours furthermore
to avoid working during the hours where
the Sun is at its peak intensity safety
professionals should perform a job
safety analysis to plan ahead so that
outdoor projects are scheduled for
before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.
thanks for listening if you would like

Types of Foundations / Footings in Building Construction

Image
  Hi guys this is Structures Explained, and in this blog we will be learning about various kinds of footings, used in a building construction. Foundations are a part of Sub structure which are below ground level and transfer all kinds of loads on the structure, to the ground. Various factors play a role in selecting the suitable type of Foundation for the structure such as, type of structure, condition of the soil at the location of construction, other surrounding structures, water table below, property limits and many more depending on site conditions. Once the foundations are laid for a structure, it is very difficult or impossible to repair or inspect it for structural damages. Hence it is very important to select and design appropriate foundations. Foundations are broadly divided in two categories. First is Shallow Foundations and second is Deep Foundations. Shallow Foundations are nearer to the surface where as Deep foundations as the name suggests, are embedded deeper in earth. N

Difference Between PCC, DPC and RCC in Civil Engineering

Image
  In this article I have described about what is PCC, DPC and RCC in civil engineering. These terms are often used in civil engineering. So, I have given some pointwise explanation with their meaning, function and uses. But you have to read carefully to understand it better for practical life in construction. The different between pcc, rcc and dpc are given below:- what is PCC DPC and RCC in civil engineering What is PCC? It stand for Plain concrete cement. This is the mixture of cement, sand , aggregate and water only. Reinforcement is not provided in concrete while construction. It can not be used for column, beam, slab etc which have to bear load or tensile force. It can bear compressive load only so, it can be used for making floor, retaining wall, road etc. What is RCC? It stand for  Reinforcement  concrete cement. This is the mixture if cement, sand , aggregate,water as well as steel rods. It can be used for column, beam, slab etc which have to bear load or compressive force or t

Slump and Compression test of concrete

Image
  Concrete Slump Test This test is performed to check the consistency of freshly made concrete. The slump test is done to make sure a concrete mix is workable. The measured slump must be within a set range, or tolerance, from the target slump.                                               Tools and apparatus used for slump test (equipment): Standard slump cone (100 mm top diameter x 200 mm bottom diameter x 300 mm high) Small scoop Bullet-nosed rod (600 mm long x 16 mm diameter) Rule Slump plate (500 mm x 500 mm)   Workability   of concrete is mainly affected by consistency i.e. wetter mixes will be more workable than drier mixes, but concrete of the same consistency may vary in workability. It can also be defined as the relative plasticity of freshly mixed concrete as indicative of its workability. Procedure of slump test for concrete: Clean the cone. Dampen with water and place on the slu
