A job as labor-intensive as construction work naturally comes with a few different hazards and the potential for injuries to occur. Now, with COVID-19, the threat of germs and bacteria has become as common as falling. Here are a few different ways to keep workers safe in the construction industry that address a wide range of hazards.
Providing Personal Protection Equipment
Providing and enforcing personal protection equipment is one of the most crucial ways to keep workers safe in the construction industry. Hard hats keep workers protected from falling materials and swinging tools that could cause serious head trauma. Meanwhile, reflective vests ensure workers always remain visible to each other when operating machinery and vehicles. Of course, there’s much more equipment you can provide your workers. But these two are the most basic items necessary for preventing accidents.
Improving Sanitation Standards
Due to COVID-19 and sanitation in general, construction sites can quickly become breeding grounds for germs and bacteria if you don’t provide proper facilities. Opting for a restroom trailer instead of porta-potties allows you to include utilities like sinks and electricity for flushing. Between the two, it’s no contest which is better for the comfort and safety of your workers. However, after providing such facilities, it’s equally important to clean the trailer regularly so that it doesn’t become a problem itself.
Displaying Signage
Clearly labeling the area with signs is imperative to the safety of both the construction workers and the public. Construction sites can get loud, especially due to how many machines and moving parts are moving at once. Providing warning signs for potential hazards and direction will aid with worker communication and ensure misunderstandings stay limited. Warning signs and the like will also caution the public from getting too close. They’ll be able to be vigilant when passing by the construction site.
Scaffolding Safeguards
Falling is one of, if not the most, common sources of injury within the construction site. When your crew is constructing scaffolding or working in elevated places, handrails and protective barriers will serve as a safety net. It’s too easy for workers to accidentally step off the side of a ledge or slip while they’re working.
Wed, 07 May 2025 07:55:00 GMT In recognition of Construction Safety Week, leaders from Granite, Fluor, DPR and other firms talk about protecting workers on their jobsites.
Tue, 06 May 2025 19:17:00 GMT Construction Safety Week begins Monday by calling on contractors to recommit to worker health and well-being, according to a new release from the event’s organizers.
Tue, 06 May 2025 12:05:00 GMT Safety was once defined as preventing physical injury on the jobsite, but more recently the construction industry has recognized that safety should be approached in much broader terms. According to ...
Security Council briefing by Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, on Non-proliferation/Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
-----------------
This year marks the final year of the DPRK’s five-year military development plan (2021-2025). Throughout 2024 and early 2025, the DPRK has continued to conduct launches of ballistic missiles, including what it characterized as the “Hwasong-19” intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in October last year, and an intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile (IRBM) in January this year.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the DPRK has continued its open displays of undeclared uranium enrichment facilities located in Yongbyon and Kangson. These events have been accompanied by statements reiterating the DPRK’s intention to further develop nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, including tactical nuclear warheads, military reconnaissance satellites, and the construction of a “nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine”.
------------
The DPRK’s persistent pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes, in violation of relevant Security Council resolutions, continues to undermine the global nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime, and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) that underpins it. At this critical juncture, it remains as important as ever to continue to highlight the urgent need to reduce nuclear risk, prevent any use of a nuclear weapon and bring about their total elimination. We continue our strong calls on the DPRK to fully comply with its international obligations, including the NPT and IAEA safeguards, and to sign and ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
-------------
The broader security landscape on the Korean Peninsula remains tense, with heightened military activities, limited avenues for inter-Korean and regional dialogue, the presence of nuclear risks and growing concerns over the potential for miscalculation. The Secretary-General has consistently underscored that sustainable peace and the complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula must be anchored in dialogue and diplomacy. We welcome any efforts in this respect.

SECRETARY-GENERAL/ CHIEF EXECUTIVES BOARD
The Secretary-General is in Denmark, where today he is chairing the biannual session of the UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination, also known as the CEB, which brings together the heads of the UN system organizations.
During their biannual session, the Chief Executives Board Members will reflect on current world affairs as they affect and are related to the UN system. They will also engage in deliberations on 'Adapting to New Realities: Leveraging the UN80 Initiative' and 'Upholding Respect for International Law'.
SUDAN
A statement we issued last night expressed the Secretary-General’s grave concern that recent drone attacks in Port Sudan, the main entry point for humanitarian aid into Sudan, threaten to increase humanitarian needs and further complicate aid operations in the country. The Secretary-General warns that this major escalation could lead to large-scale civilian casualties and further destruction of critical infrastructure.
The Secretary-General is alarmed at the expansion of the conflict into an area that has served as a place of refuge for large numbers of people displaced from the capital, Khartoum, and other areas.
The Secretary-General reiterates that all parties to the conflict must comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law. They must not direct attacks against civilians and civilian objects; must take all feasible precautions to avoid, and in any event to minimize, incidental civilian casualties; and must allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief for civilians in need.
The Secretary-General calls on the parties to engage constructively with the mediation support mechanisms already in place to assist the parties to reach a political solution, underscoring the United Nations’ continued support to help find a way out of this crisis. He renews his call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and stresses that dialogue is the only way to achieve the peace that the people of Sudan demand. The full statement is online.
SUDAN/ FOOD ASSISTANCE
And further on Sudan, our colleagues at the World Food Programme are saying that in Tawila, families who fled horrific violence in El Fasher have received vital food and nutrition supplies.
WFP says that the Agency supported more people than originally planned as needs are overwhelming with hundreds of thousands displaced, and more aid is on its way in the coming week.
SOUTH SUDAN
Moving to South Sudan, where our mission, UNMISS, and partners—the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development or IGAD, and the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, have jointly called on South Sudan’s leaders to cease ongoing hostilities immediately and urgently progress inclusive peace implementation.
They urged swift, thorough and impartial investigations into security escalations so that responsible parties can be held to account and public trust, restored.

BBC News Video: Catholics worldwide celebrate election of first American Pope | BBC News
Cardinal Robert Prevost, a long-time missionary in Latin America, has been elected as the surprise choice to be the new Pope and leader of the Catholic Church, taking the name Leo XIV.
The new Pope appeared on the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica after white smoke billowed from a chimney atop the Sistine Chapel, signifying the 133 cardinals had chosen him as a successor to Pope Francis, who died last month.
"Peace be with you all," Pope Leo told the cheering crowd, speaking in fluent Italian. He also spoke in Spanish during his brief address. Robert Prevost, 69 and originally from Chicago, has spent most of his career as a missionary in Peru and has dual Peruvian nationality. He became a cardinal only in 2023.

BBC News Video: Who is Robert Prevost, the new Pope Leo XIV? | BBC News
Robert Prevost, 69, will be the 267th occupant of the throne of St Peter and he will be known as Leo XIV.
He is the first American to fill the role of Pope, although he is considered as much a cardinal from Latin America because of the many years he spent as a missionary in Peru, before becoming a bishop there.
Born in Chicago in 1955 to parents of Spanish and Franco-Italian descent, Prevost served as an altar boy and was ordained as a priest in 1982. Although he moved to Peru three years later, he returned regularly to the US to serve as a pastor and a prior in his home city.

ODN Video: New Footage Shows Destruction of Yemen's Sanaa International Airport
New footage shows the scale of destruction at Sanaa International Airport in Yemen after the Israeli military launched an intensive round of airstrikes on the Houthi-run site this week.
Israel said its fighter jets attacked “flight runways, aircraft and infrastructure”, leaving a trail of charred commercial airplanes on the tarmac.
These satellite images capture Sanaa International Airport before the Israeli airstrike and the extensive damage after it.
The IDF also said it struck power plant stations in Sanaa, which it claimed were being “exploited” by the Houthis for energy infrastructure and for the construction of underground tunnels.
Tuesday’s attack came as part of a second day of Israeli airstrikes after the Iran-backed group fired a missile that landed near Israel's main airport, Ben Gurion International Airport, forcing it to close temporarily.
