These guidelines cover health and safety concerns found in the sorts of construction (and operation) work that Oxfam most commonly undertakes in emergency water and sanitation service provision. This document is aimed at giving guidance to reduce the likelihood of accidents and illness occurring amongst any 'people in the workplace', e. g. daily labourers, staff directly employed by Oxfam, labour and 'volunteers' working for Oxfam's local partners (NGOs/CBOs), contractors and visitors.
