Safety Considerations on a Construction Site
Modern construction sites are different than those in the past. The environment is complex, the work is fast-paced, and budget constraints and project deadlines make efficiency paramount. With emerging challenges like sustainability targets and an aging workforce, maintaining safety on the jobsite is no easy task.
Despite impressive advancements in safety across the industry, construction remains one of the most hazardous occupations globally. Even as safety professionals, equipment manufacturers, and regulators work tirelessly to make the jobsite safer than it was yesterday, construction still has a higher rate of injury and fatality compared to many other industries.
65.5% of all construction fatalities in 2023 resulted from one of the following four causes:
- Falls (slips, trips, and falls to lower level): 35%
- Struck-by incidents: 17%
- Electrocution: 7.6%
- Caught in / between incidents: 5.8%

How Can Construction Safety Be Improved?
When planning construction safety, it's crucial to identify potential risks and take proactive measures to mitigate them. Checkers Safety offers specialized equipment solutions designed to protect people and assets in high-risk construction environments and help you maintain OSHA compliance. Here's how our safety solutions are engineered specifically for construction industry challenges.
Cable Protectors
Construction sites are filled with extension cords, cables, and hoses that power tools and equipment. Unsecured cables create serious tripping hazards for workers and can be damaged by heavy machinery, leading to costly downtime and safety incidents. Our cable protectors provide secure crossings for both pedestrians and vehicles while protecting your valuable electrical infrastructure.
Why choose Checkers cable protectors?
Reduce Long-Term Costs:
Built to withstand extreme jobsite conditions, maximizing ROI through years of reliable service and avoiding costly replacements.
Jobsite-Ready Design:
Integral handles and modular design enable quick deployment and reconfiguration as your project evolves
Superior Cable Protection:
Engineered to handle heavy construction vehicles while protecting sensitive electrical equipment from damage.
Broad Compatibility and Configurations:
Compatible with existing systems and available in multiple configurations for any construction application.
Ground Protection Matting
Construction projects often require heavy equipment to traverse sensitive terrain like lawns, agricultural areas, or landscaped properties. Without proper ground protection, you risk costly property damage, equipment getting stuck, and project delays. Our ground protection mats and outrigger pads provide stable, safe working platforms that protect both the ground and your equipment.
Why choose Checkers ground protection mats?
Superior ROI:
Unlike plywood alternatives, our HDPE construction resists chemicals, oils, and water damage, reducing the need for frequent, costly replacements, often paying for themselves in as few as six uses.
Efficient, Fast Installation:
Lightweight design with optional handholds enables quick setup, removal, and transportation, reducing labor costs and project timelines.
Environmental Responsibility:
Made from 100% recycled materials while providing non-conductive, water-resistant performance.
Wheel Chocks
Construction sites involve constant movement of heavy equipment, trucks, and machinery. Unsecured vehicles pose serious risks to workers and can cause catastrophic property damage. A rolling vehicle collision can result in fatalities and project shutdowns. Our wheel chocks provide reliable vehicle security to maintain safe working environments around heavy equipment.
Why choose Checkers Wheel Chocks?
Cost-Efficient:
Made from high-quality materials, Checkers wheel chocks are built to last, offering a cost-effective solution that can be used repeatedly.
Durable in the Harshest Conditions:
Built from high-impact materials to secure the largest construction vehicles and equipment safely.
Lightweight Ergonomic Design for Quick Deployment:
Engineered to handle heavy construction vehicles while protecting sensitive electrical equipment from damage.
Always Visible When It Counts:
Bright safety colors ensure chocks are easily spotted during busy construction operations and emergency situations.
Warning Whips
Construction sites are notoriously loud environments where workers may not hear approaching heavy equipment in time to avoid accidents. Engine noise, power tools, and machinery create acoustic challenges that put workers at risk. Our warning whips provide high-visibility alerts that cut through noise and environmental conditions to protect your workforce from vehicle collisions.
Why choose Checkers Warning Whips?
Unmatched Visibility for Maximum Safety:
Checkers whips offer near 360° visibility, multiple LED color options, and dual-tone poles, helping crews see and identify people and equipment clearly in all conditions (night, fog, dust), reducing accidents and jobsite shutdowns.
Built to Last in Harsh Environments:
Lightweight design with optional handholds enables quick setup, removal, and transportation, reducing labor costs and project timelines.
Fast, Reliable Support & Delivery:
With short lead times, broad inventory, and knowledgeable U.S.-based support, Checkers ensures a smooth purchasing process and tailored solutions that meet safety codes and site policies.
