Which of the following is not typically considered a hazard on a construction site?

  1. Heavy machinery

  2. Live electrical wires

  3. Live ammunition

  4. Scaffolding

The correct answer is: Live ammunition

Live ammunition is not typically considered a hazard on a construction site because it is not a common element found in that environment. Construction sites generally involve activities related to building, demolition, and renovation, where the main hazards usually include equipment, tools, and structural elements. Heavy machinery is a well-known hazard due to the potential for accidents or injuries if operated improperly. Live electrical wires pose a significant electrical hazard that can lead to severe injuries, including electrocution. Scaffolding is another common hazard associated with risks of falls if not properly erected or maintained. Thus, while all the other options are hazards associated with construction work, live ammunition does not fit within the typical context of construction site hazards.
