From the durability point of view it is important to keep cover to reinforcement bars as specified on structural drawings.
You can do anti-rust coating on exposed reinforcement bars and cast a concrete to cover it.

Precaution which can be taken to avoid such issue;
Ensuring cover to reinforcement bars all time i.e. - during reinforcement works, shuttering works, concreting works and immediately after concreting.
Responsibility should be designated to a each work supervisor or supervisor of overall works. Engineer should verify it during his each visit to work locations.
