One increasingly more common construction safety measure I've seen edge protection more commonly used on sites. https://australianscaffolds.com.au/scaffolding-for-sale/edge-protection/

You can't plan the future by the past

- Check your boots and gloves for mud or slippery substances and wipe them off
- Get a foot or hand hold before hoisting yourself up
- Use a step ladder if necessary to make sure you can climb on the equipment safely
- If you need help, be sure to ask. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about if you need a helping hand.
- Avoid hopping up or down on equipment, take your time

In order to take precautions in a construction space, you need to be able to identify potential risks and put in preventive measures. There are a number of safety precautions that are common to many construction sites. See below:

- Prepare and share a safety policy.
- Prepare and share safe working practices and rules for using equipment.
- Train personnel on site. Have safety inductions and continuous regular training.
- Set safety audits.
- Have emergency procedures and share them on site.
- Ensure proper signage is available on site.
- Appoint a safety personnel to support employees and management to manage safety programs.

The above are just a few to mention. If you need more clarity, I am happy to listen to your specific situation and give more detailed assistance tailored to your current scenario.
