Dear Formwork News readers,
“Safety” is a multi-facetted topic that touches upon such matters as the quality and durability of the construction equipment, the construction methods to be employed, correct usage of the equipment from the statical design point of view, and all the precautions taken for the safety of the site crew.
With its advanced, high-quality formwork systems, which comply with all international safety regulations, Doka makes possible safe, streamlined and thus profitable in-situ concreting operations. The systems are complemented by a slew of Doka services that help construction firms or contracting JVs to optimise how they use their formwork equipment, and to continue improving their safety and working conditions even beyond what the regulations require.
Safe construction sites not only prevent accidents, they also enhance personnel motivation and improve the contractor’s business performance in both the short and long term. This is because there is less downtime and loss of labour time, and operational sequences are speeded up, both of which lower labour costs. And one other very important aspect to finish with: If the working environment is a high-quality one, the concrete results will be of high quality, too.
Yours,
The Formwork News editorial team
