MMC - Modern Methods of Construction<\/strong> - refer to off-site construction<\/strong> techniques, such as factory production, prefabrication\u00a0and pre-assembly, as alternatives to traditional onsite building.
The reduction of operations performed onsite, as well as a higher predictability and a standardisation of tasks, means a\u00a0consequential reduction in risk<\/strong>. Moving more tasks to the factory environment brings additional safety benefits<\/strong>: less working at\u00a0height; improved separation of workers and vehicle movements; use of mechanical assistance for repetitive work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore increasingly seen as a safer way to build, since it reduces risks for people involved in the various steps of the construction process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article contains an analysis of the 5 main reasons<\/strong> why MMC mean increased safety for workers<\/strong>, especially on the construction site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

# 1 \u2013 Smaller specialized teams perform standardised activities at shorter duration construction sites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 \u2013 Work is moved from the construction site to the factory, with mechanical assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 \u2013 Improved management of personnel and vehicle movements onsite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 - Reduction of work at height<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Sanitary safety in case of pandemics <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
