| The impact of a building project goes beyond its occupants and immediate community. It also impacts the project's workforce, since construction workers can be exposed to extreme temperatures and dangerous pollutants or be harmed in an accident if proper protections are not in place. |
建筑项目的影响超出了其使用者和直接社区的范围。它还影响项目劳动力,因为如果缺乏适当的保护措施,建筑工人可能暴露在极端温度和危险污染物中,或在事故中受伤。 |
| Building projects also impact workers across the supply chains associated with building materials, which often involve hundreds of workers around the globe. Creating building materials (e.g., steel columns, concrete walls, and wooden studs) involves a variety of jobs, many of which can be dangerous and unpleasant (e.g., mining coal, breaking up rocks, cutting down trees, transporting materials, or operating kilns and furnaces). |
建筑项目还影响与建筑材料相关的供应链上的工人,通常涉及全球数百名工人。制造建筑材料(如钢柱、混凝土墙和木龙骨)涉及各种工作,其中许多可能是危险和艰苦的(如采煤、碎石、伐木、运输材料或操作窑炉)。 |
| Workers across the supply chain: Raw material extraction → Transportation → Manufacturing → Transportation → Construction |
供应链上的工人:原材料开采 → 运输 → 制造 → 运输 → 施工 |
| Green building strategies aim to avoid harm for both construction workers and workers across the supply chain by: |
绿色建筑策略旨在通过以下方式避免对建筑工人和供应链工人的伤害: |
| • Planning for sustainable construction |
• 规划可持续施工 |
| • Centering the experience, health, and well-being of the laborers and crews who build the project during project planning and implementation |
• 在项目规划和实施中以建设项目的工人和班组的体验、健康和福祉为中心 |
| • Ensuring alignment of training and practices of all construction entities with the project's social goals |
• 确保所有施工实体的培训和实践与项目的社会目标保持一致 |
| • Working with suppliers to help ensure the people who make materials have appropriate health and safety protections |
• 与供应商合作,帮助确保制造材料的人员享有适当的健康和安全保护 |
| • Avoiding material types that are more likely to have involved poor working conditions during their extraction, manufacturing, or transport |
• 避免使用在开采、制造或运输过程中更可能涉及恶劣工作条件的材料类型 |
| • Seeking out materials with certifications that verify fair treatment of workers |
• 寻找具有验证工人公平对待认证的材料 |
