. Safety of people

Working at height . Working at height always involves potential risk of serious injury or fatality to the workers. Many of the working platforms and access equipments in the work site were prone to this highly Alerted risk due to either improper design or poor maintenance. Some of the elevated work platforms are in badly maintained condition. But still in use and not provided with guard rails and toe boards these represent infringement of ‘Rule 5(2)’ of Regulation of Employment and condition and workers Act 1996 by Republic of Indian Immediate attention required on following points:    

Replacing of poorly designed and badly maintained scaffolds and elevated platforms Provision of suitable guard rails and toe boards to the unprotected edger and work platforms. Routinely inspection and periodic maintenance of scaffolds work platforms and access equipments Provision of sufficient number of safety harness and other Protective equipments and proper supervision to ensure corrector usage of PPES. Estimated cost for the above control measures would be

2,70,000 inr

(a) Musculoskeletal hazards :- The tasks involving carrying load manually to longer distance and repetitive stooping 01 twisting motion are prone to various musculoskeletal disorders like back injury , tendon and ligament injurious wruld etc These risks are to be eliminated or minimized by proper planning of posting for unloading construction materials and ways of appropriate handling and following actions are strongly recommended  Proper planning and supervision to ensure the material or unloaded at the possible nearest Point where the items are actually required  Provision of adequate and suitable handling aids for conveying goods.  Estimated cost for above remedial action would be 50,000 inr (b) Falling of objects from height Is a common hazards in any construction site. Also, deliberately throwing debris and rubbles from heighted floors to ground might increase the risk to the

 Hard hats are to be made mandatory by internal laws to comply with the rule 54 of Indian Building construction workers central rule which says the employer shall ensure that all persons who are performing any work or services at a building or other construction work wear safety shoes and helmets conforming to the national standards Estimated cost for the above control measures is 30,000 inr The stacking of cement bags was found improper and appropriate corrective actions to be taken as per standard codes in place. This should comply ‘Rule 51 ‘ of Indian building construction worker’s central rules 1998 which says the employer shall ensure at a construction site of a building that all building materials are stored or stacked in a safe and orderly manner to avoid obstruction and danger to any passageway or place of work. Hazardous Substance Safety : Cement and sand dust are the most common health hazards in a construction work site. Direct and long term exposure to dry and wet cement might cause series ill-health effects like dermatitis and corrosive burns to workers. Following control measures are to be implemented urgently to minimize these effects:  Provision of gloves, overalls, gum boots and filtering face piece respirator to all personnel exposed to hazardous substances like cement, metal, sand etc .  Health surveillance of these workers is to be conducted and details to be recorded.

SAFTY:

The inspection reveals some of the fire hazards and risks arising from improper storage of gas cylinders inflammable fuels etc. and accumulation of paper wastage due for poor housekeeping Non-availability of designated storage place for storing the gas and inflammable fuel containers are they key issues which required immediate attention . Lack of effective supervision on housekeeping activities also ignites the fire risk. Under mentioned prevention measures accorded priority to reduce occurrence and spread if fire in the work site.  Arrangement of safe, suitable and dedicated storage aria with proper fencing and lockable gate Keeping gas slanders this area to be marked with proper sign and warning boards. Empty and Filled cylinders are to be stored separately and to be chained upright an inspection schedule of this storage area by competent personnel also to be promulgated and ensured.  Another safe stowage area for keeping the liquid fuel containers also to be earmarked.  Procurement of new first aid fire extinguishers.  Ensure good supervision on housekeeping routines for timely clearance of dustbins and other waste materials. Estimated cost for these control measures would be 1, 00,000 inr. 3 MACHINE / VECHICLE SAFTY :During the assessments, some points related to machine and vehicle safety did also Come in light usage of rotating machineries without proper guards and protective covers Was observed.
