Abstract

In industrial construction environments, the handling of heavy and hazardous materials poses significant risk to workers safety. Accidents resulting from improper material handling remain one of the leading causes of injuries and fatalities on industrial construction sites. This project explores the implementation of a professional material handling system, and improve overall material handling and operational efficiency, by integrating mechanical equipment, ergonomic practises, and worker training, PMHS minimizes human error and physical strain. The study also examines the role of automation and smart technologies in material handling practises. Through detailed analysis of system components, safety benefits, and case studies, this project underscores how adapting a professional approach to material handling can significantly reduce accident rates, ensure regulatory compliance, and foster a culture of safety in industrial construction.
