hi. i currently use small uhf sets for building site communication. is it possible to connect an aviation headset to a uhf set worn on my belt so that i can enjoy hearing protection and communication simultaneously?

I guess, if the impedance's on the mic. and the ear sets are the same, then go for it.
If not, and if you are handy, and as you work on building sites, we know you are, you could butcher up the headsets, and retro fit them into a good pair of ear muffs.

Russ,
After using a set of aviation h'sets yesterday, for a couple of hours, reckon they would be too heavy for your sort of work. At least all day, and moving around.
The noise cancelling ear muffs are available at gunshops also.
Speaker/mikes are available that can take a plug in ear piece, that you could retro fit, as Wolfie suggested.
Also able to get boom mike with ear piece and head thingo.
Hooroo...

this is what we use at the airports for ground handling, and during maint. work, headsets connected to motarola uhf sets , they work
well, but the cost would be a major issue, the headsets are around $500, and the intrinsically safe radios are around $1000 ea. from memory.
no doubt you could fit a cheap set-up into some decent earmuffs like bilsoms etc. but as said make sure you cover your bases as far as eh&s goes.
