As with most professions, there are various misconceptions and stereotyping in regard to construction work as well. Here are a few of the most common myths in regard to the construction industry.
1. Anyone can work in
construction. The fact is that most construction
workers are skilled tradesmen and others have some college
education.in the construction industry, the construction companies
invest a lot of resources (time and money) for the initial and
continuous training of their construction workers. The training is
most commonly in regard to the OSHA safety standards, as well as
working with the newest construction tools, methods and technology.
Also, apprenticeships tend to be highly competitive. This means
that throughout their career, construction workers gain quite a bit
of knowledge and master many construction tasks and skills. For the
upper level positions, further technical training and a college
degree may be necessary. This means, that overall uneducated people
and those without experience can have problems finding a job in
today’s modern construction industry.
2. Construction work is
very dangerous. The fact is that due to the
developments in construction tools technology, developments in the
production of personal protection equipment, gear, footwear, as
well as because of the stricter safety rules and regulations for
this business, the number of fatal injuries in this industry has
been decreasing since 2006. Today, construction companies invest a
lot of time and money in assessing the risks, and creating
effective risk management programs for their construction sites.
Many people are engaged in implementing, monitoring and constantly
analyzing them. This means that although there are dangerous tools,
materials and heights involved in the construction industry, today
it is a much safer profession. The high quality personal protective
equipment plays an important role for keeping workers safe.
According to the footwear website MyBootprint.com, the features of the best construction
boots are safety toes, flexibility for movement, durability,
puncture resistance, electrical hazard protection, slip resistance,
and good traction.
3. People choose
construction because they can’t find another job.
The fact is, the multitude of construction professionals are doing
what they want to do. Construction work involves learning and
mastering a wide variety of skills. The work usually doesn’t
include working on national holidays and weekends and overtime work
is properly rewarded. Also, there is nothing more satisfying than
being able to admire the product of your work on a daily basis for
decades and centuries to come.
4. Construction is
simple. No. Construction is a complicated process
which begins from the local authorities, architects, engineers and
economists before the construction work can begin. Also, todays
tools, materials and construction techniques are becoming
state-of-the-art, so construction is definitely not just a bunch of
people slinging on some heavy tools.
5. You can’t become
successful in the construction business. Actually,
the construction industry is a multi-billion dollar one. Projects,
including: expensive residential buildings, hotels, high rises,
various roads and transportation systems are worth billions of
dollars. In the construction business, the employees have the
opportunity to learn more and more tasks and obtain skills to move
up in the hierarchy and earn a decent living. Also, this business
allows skilled workers who want to start their own business to
start their own construction companies and earn quite good money
while at it.
