The article presents conditions for ensuring safe performance of construction and installation works at heights when constructing or reconstructing agricultural production buildings on the basis of collective protective equipment. The article shows structural designs and main parameters of fall arrest devices and safety fences that are intended for buildings of those types. In such protective equipment, synthetic netting materials are a defining element that ensures the required safety level. The article specifies the composition of process control and management documentation that determines a procedure and a sequence for use of collective protective equipment during construction and installation works. Types of works are specified that require that protective equipment is used to prevent objects and people from falling from the height of a rigid-frame building under construction. The article suggests the composition of data for determining the quantity of safety fence sections to be installed along the building perimeter. The developed calculation and test procedure for prototypes of fall arrest devices allowed us to establish that the net fabric camber and values of dynamic loads occurring if an object fell onto the net were interrelated to a certain extent. The performed studies produced dependences of net camber values versus the tension value of the securing rope. Taking into account the requirement of injury prevention in the event of a person’s falling onto a net, dynamic effects on the fallen object when caught by a fall arrest device were evaluated. The established negative accelerations of an object falling from height onto a fall arrest device’s net indicate that dynamic overloads occurring at this are within the permissible limit values.

The measures aimed at material and technical support are given, as a result of which high performance in housing construction can be achieved. The performance criterion of material and technical support during the construction and installation works is proposed in the form of a reduction in the duration of a project construction, which results in a reduction in the cost of work and resource savings. As an example, the procedure for calculating economic performance by the material and technical support factor during the construction of a large-panel two-section apartment building of variable number of storeys is shown. The calculation measures are based on reducing the necessary stocks of structures at the construction site, as well as reducing the costs associated with their acquisition and storage. It is shown that as a result of the proposed measures in the material and technical support of construction, based only on the main structural components, it is possible to obtain a noticeable economic effect due to a reduction in the dura-tion of construction and in additional costs in the conditions of the construction site.

The paper discusses the principles and conditions of supplies allocation on the construction site. It covers the functional dependences of the logistic support in the course of construction of large-panel buildings. The paper presents the required conditions for the stable functioning of material supply system, making it possible to ensure a rhythmic and uninterrupted process of the facility construction. Various types of production supplies of material resources are offered at the construction site for large-panel housing construction, which is based on a sufficient volume of structures and products taking into account the possible occurrence of risks of performing the planned amount of work. It is concerned with the comparative analysis of the main ways of determining the need for material and technical resources.
