Abstract
Rapid technological progress in construction requires that more and more attention should be paid to human security issues. Threats occur both at the stage of building facilities and during their use. Some impacts are easy to identify during construction stage like shocks and vibrations, others are hidden from sight and direct sensing like the harmful effect of chemicals. In addition to accidents that happen on construction sites, there are still objective threats, which may occur throughout the lifetime of the facility. In addition to clearly perceptible ones such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, there are hidden threats as well: bacteriological contamination, radiation or chemical interactions that occur in time. This article points to the most common chemical hazards. Examples of chemical threats occurring in construction at the stages of design, construction and use of buildings will be given below.
Highlights
Nowadays, many diseases result from the progress of civilization
Examples include various sources of vibrations, radiation from mobile phones, car exhausts or food preservatives. Such dangers are observed in the construction industry [1]
New technologies introduce more and more complex composite materials which could not be tested in a long time period before implementing
Summary
Many diseases result from the progress of civilization. People, due to their activities are exposed to various unexpected impacts. Examples include various sources of vibrations, radiation from mobile phones, car exhausts or food preservatives Such dangers are observed in the construction industry [1]. Some products are not stored or used in accordance with the manufacturer's intention (too high or too low temperature, permissible humidity range exceeded, improper transport, contact with materials that trigger chemical reactions, etc.). In these cases, there is a great danger that such products will pose a real threat to those who use them, as well as those who will be users of facilities built according to technologies that do not comply with the Manufacturer's requirements. Some examples concerning the construction works were already given for construction induced vibrations in work [6]
