I worked as a construction boilermaker for 10 years. Health risks associated with this job include loud noise, dust, chemical exposure (fuel mostly), burns and cuts are common, eye injures occur, and the fact that often men are living away from home or do not have a partner with them can increase stress which often leads to substance abuse, (alcohol and tobacco). In Australia, safety is regulated and is quite good which helps protect individuals. However some companies take shortcuts with health to get the job done quicker. Sites are dynamic places to work with lots of activities occurring so it is imperative to be spatially aware at all times, around you and from crane lifts and workers above.
