Pile Operations initiate soon after the conclusion of pre-construction planning. The commencement of the tasks trigger a hazardous situation and a concerning time for the pile contractors. The potential of accident associated with pile driving elevates the significance of maintaining safety gears throughout the job. A contractor needs to focus on workers, support, equipment, site condition, materials and every other factor to conduct the project smoothly.

Concentrate on the first step
The initial stage of pile driving needs more emphasis to ensure a high-quality finishing. At the onset of a project, the superintendent needs to convey the safety rules to all the employees through a formal meeting. It is even better if printed hard copies are distributed among the workers.
On this meeting, the superintendent must collect the contact numbers of those to be telephoned in emergencies. He even needs to arrange for fulsomely stocked first-aid kits and a trained first aider. A thorough check on nearby hospital and ambulance service is another significant point to focus on.
A review of the operating plan, equipment, availability of on-field safety gears, and safety placards on rigs by the superintendent is essential before starting off the project.
Ensure at most security for the workers
Contractors of pile driving provide all the vital gears for the laborers. All the operators must be supplied with the listed items to safeguard them while piling.

Maintain safety at the site
Onsite projects need much more wariness to avoid any sort of menace. The work area as well as the walkways must be kept free of debris, scrap lumbers, pile cut-offs and other loose materials. A secure handrail and a toe board must be setup for walkways and platforms four feet above the ground or located in a perilous location.
The contractors must supply proper containers for trash, oil rags and other combustible materials. Special precautions are required for pile drivers working in potentially combustible environments.
