This study examines the kind of chemicals which are normally employed in the execution of such mechanisms together with the safety measures put in place, reviewing the nature and efficiency of personal protective devices (PPE) as well as engineer controls towards reducing exposure to chemical variants. The study based only on secondary data of government regulations, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the case study by industry, finds that the chemical storage and documentation requirement by government regulations is completed with high rates but the training of workers, spill clean-up and Personal protective equipment (PPE) use leave much to be desired. It is worth noting that the poor adherence to PPE is directly pegged to a rise in exposure cases. The paper ends with several recommendations which any company can implement to enhance chemical safety practice such as compulsory safety training, frequent auditing, better containment procedures and enforcement of better PPE. Such discoveries make it imperative to have sensible and sustained enhancements of safety application in order to create a healthier and safer working environment in chemically-intensive construction works.
