Construction workers use hammers and nails to put things together. Some get to drive giant machines like big yellow excavators to dig holes and tall cranes to lift heavy things. All the workers work together like a team and follow a plan to make sure buildings are strong and safe for us.
Without construction workers, we would not have schools to learn in, houses to live in, or roads to drive on. They build the playgrounds where we have fun and the stores where we shop. Construction workers make our communities grow and stay strong.
- The tallest building in the world is over 2,700 feet tall!
- Construction workers sometimes start working very early in the morning before the sun comes up.
- Hard hats can protect a worker’s head from things that fall from up high.
