What is the primary purpose of sanitation in CDM practices?

The primary purpose of sanitation in Construction Design and Management (CDM) practices is to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure a safe environment. This focus on sanitation is critical because effective sanitation measures help manage waste properly, maintain hygiene, and provide access to clean water, thereby significantly reducing the risk of health hazards associated with construction sites. Ensuring a safe and healthy environment not only protects the workers but also contributes to the overall safety of the surrounding community.

While others may focus on improving construction efficiency or reducing costs, these objectives can only be effectively achieved in a safe working environment where sanitary measures are in place. Recreational facilities, although important for worker well-being, are not the primary goal of sanitation practices in the context of CDM, making the focus on disease prevention and the creation of a safe environment paramount.
