Construction Sites Require Increased Attention in Combating Dengue, with Daily Actions to Eliminate Stagnant Water and Protect Workers from Aedes Aegypti

The construction industry faces a challenge that goes beyond deadlines and materials. The fight against the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a carrier of dengue, zika, and chikungunya, has become an urgent concern on construction sites.

The construction environment encourages the accumulation of stagnant water, which is an ideal location for the mosquito to breed. Therefore, it is essential that all professionals remain vigilant and engaged in prevention efforts.

The main recommendation is to eliminate any possibility of standing water. The mosquito can develop in small containers, such as bottle caps, to large reservoirs. Areas like wheelbarrows, slabs, concrete mixers, elevator shafts, and tarps should also be checked regularly.

Another fundamental measure is to keep all containers clean and covered. Aedes aegypti eggs can survive for more than a year and hatch when they come into contact with water.

Inspections need to be conducted daily, including areas of the site that are not frequently in use. It is also important for workers to receive guidance during Daily Safety Dialogues.

Additionally, the surrounding area of the construction site should be monitored, such as vacant lots and abandoned properties. If breeding grounds are suspected, the city hall should be notified.

Implementing awareness programs and training employees are essential actions to contain the threat. Prevention starts at the construction site and relies on everyone involved in the project.
