Ten ways to improve productivity in construction
Prioritise Safety
Prioritising worker-safety leads to less work-related injuries and will keep construction productivity at the highest level. For example, Expo 2020 Dubai site had anticipated approximately 40,000 construction workers during peak construction, handling more than 100 projects. Despite challenges caused by Covid-19, construction has continued at the Expo site; however, the organisers have prioritised the health, safety and well-being of its staff and workers. These include measures such as mandatory increase in frequency of cleaning and sanitation at all its facilities, special representative assigned to handle suspected Covid-19 cases, 24/7 on-call nurses and doctors, fully operational helipad as well as on-site ambulances, etc.
