Introduction:
Construction safety is a must, yet it is frequently overlooked on construction sites. Construction workers have historically suffered more fatal & non-fatal injuries than those in other industries. Appropriate construction safety measures should be made to improve construction site safety in order to prevent limb and life loss, suffering, and damage from avoidable accidents. Most construction accidents are caused by a lack of sufficient education & construction safety training about safety measures, as well as negligence and ignorance on the side of either the worker or management, or both. Safety management in construction and a safety management system in the building are of utmost importance.
NIST has successfully delivered construction safety training to many clients such as Mahindra Lifespaces, Phoenix Mall and Bangalore Metro.

Benefits of Construction Safety training
Adopting construction safety training enables businesses to maintain their competitiveness and effectiveness while the construction industry experiences significant change in the way that projects are completed and delivered. Enhancing workplace safety not only lowers hazards and dangers for workers but also improves output and quality of the work you are committed to do.
Construction safety has a significant positive effect on timely project completion, which is one of its many advantages for any business. Not just the tradespeople's ability to build things, but also their ability to operate safely on the workplace, is what determines whether a project will be finished on time. The painful effects of a project delay are avoided when construction safety procedures are developed and carefully enforced. Incidents that would endanger the health and safety of the personnel are also prevented through construction safety training.
