not allowed. Abrasions, cuts and scratches are the most common injuries at the build. Wear sturdy shoes with closed toes. Sandals, flip-flops, open- toed shoes are not the proper footwear due to the danger of dropping heavy things on the feet. Wear a cap, bandana or hat for protection against the sun. Sun block spray or lotion is also advised for those with sensitive skin. In case of rain, bring a poncho or raincoat. (Remember that construction work continues even if its raining.)
