Are there idle workers?  No, everyone seems to be working hard. There are lots of personel on the site but everyone has their own task to do and are doing their best to stay out of   each others way.
Construction Activities: There is a lot of excavation going on to get the foundation to the proper grade. VT electric is busy taking down and moving all the power lines that are running the the construction site. The excavators are staying busy on the left of the job site while the electricians work on the right.
Does safety seem to be of importance? Safety seems to be important, however, whenever a bunch of workers have to work around each other at a quick pace there is always an increase in risk. Other than that, everyone seems to be wearing the proper PPE and the electricians that are up in the buckets are properly strapped into their harnesses and have those harnesses secured to the buckets.
Hazard Analysis:
Activity		Hazard		Solution
Moving Powerlines		Electicution		Kill the power running through
				the lines
Multiple machines with long arms working in close proximity		hitting people beside you		Work in "Stations" where there is no way for machines to cross paths
Comments/Remarks: Once the Electricians take the poles and wires down more backhoes can be moved in and if there are 2-3 dump trucks for every one backhoe (depending on how far the dirt is being moved) then the excavation will be performing at its optimal level.
