The danger of this line of work is inevitable. However, a man has to feed his family. Every construction worker knows the risk of reporting for duty every day.

A responsible construction worker wears the proper protective gear, follows the site's safety protocols and regulations, and uses the machinery and equipment with at most knowledge and discipline. This is enough to put you away from danger. However, in the event of an accident, nothing can really prepare you to avoid it.
