He furthered that all hazards must be controlled at the worksite by enforcing workers to strictly follow the company’s safety plan by wearing the right personal protective equipments (PPEs), posting of warning signs, and proper construction of scaffoldings, and the likes.

Dela Cruz also noted the duties and responsibilities of employers and employees in the construction site pertaining to the said D.O., to wit:

• Employers to furnish their workers a place of employment free from hazardous conditions that are causing or likely to cause death; illness or physical harm.

• Employers to give complete job safety instructions to all workers, especially to those entering the job for the first time, including those relating to the familiarization with their work environment, hazards to which the workers are exposed to and steps taken in case of emergency.
