Construction safety as a priority in UAE

The construction sector is globally recognized as one of the most dangerous industries, attributed to its distinct characteristics and working conditions. The environment of the construction industry is risky, which makes it very essential to pay more attention to improving construction safety and health at the workplace as well as to use some good (power) tools and materials. 

Experts note a significant advancement in the safety culture of construction sites in the UAE compared to the past decade. However, sustaining on-site standards demands continual effort. Where you can start is providing your employees and yourself with quality tools and safety equipment. 

Let’s hear more about the tools that could be really significant - not just because of safety, but cost savings as well!

The best power tools to consider

1. Cordless drill

Cordless drill stands as a versatile tool suitable for both drilling holes and driving screws. When choosing a wireless drill, take into account factors such as power, speed, battery life, and chuck size. Opting for higher power and speed facilitates quicker and more efficient task completion, and an extended battery life enables prolonged work without the necessity for frequent recharging. Additionally, a larger chuck size permits the use of bigger drill bits, accommodating the creation of larger holes.

1. Circular saw

The handheld power tool known as the circular saw employs a rotating blade to cut through diverse materials. This tool proves invaluable for projects involving the cutting of large wood or metal pieces, particularly when specific lengths are required. A choice between a cordless or corded circular saw is available, each offering distinct advantages.

Cordless saws, being more portable, serve well for general purposes and metal cutting. Although less flexible than cordless counterparts, the reliability and increased power from being plugged in contribute to an extended lifespan. Irrespective of your preference, circular saws are adaptable to having the blade positioned on either the right or left side, facilitating ease of use with your dominant hand.

1. Angle grinder

Angle grinders, versatile tools with rotating blade heads set at a right angle to the body, offer a wide range of applications. Ideal for grinding metal, cutting pipes, removing rust or paint, and tasks like sanding, polishing stone, concrete, and metal, these tools are a must-have for various projects. When considering a purchase, similar to circular saws, you can choose between corded and cordless options, both providing portability and energy benefits. Additionally, there are standard and flat heads, with flat heads excelling in tighter spaces. The tool's diverse abilities and straightforward operation methods make it essential for your business.

1. Impact driver

Designed for fast and efficient screw driving, these tools excel even when dealing with the most challenging materials. Impact drivers utilize a hammer-like gear mechanism that imparts torque through the rotation of the driver, resembling a hammer drill but with the additional force being rotational rather than linear. Additionally, these tools are typically smaller, lighter, and demand less effort from the user, making them particularly well-suited for contractors who extensively use a drill throughout the day.

Last but not least - orbital sander, frequently employed for refining rough surfaces of wood, eliminating rust and paint from metal, and achieving a polished finish on plastic, orbital sanders prove versatile in various applications. This convenient power tool is effective in crafting furniture, enhancing car paintwork, or perfecting hardwood floors. Utilize the square-shaped sander to seamlessly smooth corners and edges, ensuring thorough coverage across every inch of your surface project.
