Excavations Keep the fence on all sides of an excavation intact. Use safe access for ingress and egress. Do not pile soil or any other materials at the edge of an excavation. Make sure that a trench is securely shored before

If gas leakage is detected, report it to your supervisor immediately. Fire Risk There is always a fire risk. However, the chances of fire can be reduced, and you will know what to do when a fire breaks out if you: Always keep the workplace clean and tidy.

Handle machinery and tools that may generate sparks or heat carefully. Do not smoke or use naked flames in any area where flammable and explosive substances are stored. Know where fire extinguishers are located and how they are used. Know the place of assembly for fire evacuation

Dispose all wastes, and unwanted materials must be disposed of at a designated place. Notify your supervisor of the requirement for the separate disposal of chemical or inflammable wastes. Do not leave planks with nails on passageways.

Safety Supervisors Their responsibility is to assist

Public Safety Pay attention to public safety. Members of the public are often unaware of or do not understand the work carried out on construction sites and the risks involved. Take great care to prevent the fall of materials from height. Do not stack materials on floor edges or on scaffolds

others to work smoothly and safely. They have received specific safety training and are important members of the construction team. They have legal responsibility or liability for the overall safety of the construction site. You should get to know your safety supervisor.

Waste Disposal

Eye Protection

A wise worker will certainly take good care of his eyesight. A small fragment may cause serious consequences if it enters one's eyes. When there is a risk of eye injury, such as in concrete breaking or using abrasive wheels, you should wear suitable eye protectors. Take proper care of the eye protectors provided to you. Replace damaged or defective eye protectors immediately. Ensure that eye protectors are comfortable to wear, and keep clean. Use eye protectors for eye protection do not put it on your head or hang it on your neck. Bear in mind that eye protectors are replaceable, but not your eyes.

instructions. Do not reuse disposable ear plugs. Clean ear protectors regularly

Personal Protective Equipment For your own safety and interest, use the personal protective equipment provided by your employer. Wear gloves when handling or contacting chemicals. Remember to wear a mask when working in a dusty environment. Wear eye and ear protectors whenever necessary. Wear a safety harness and secure it to a safe anchorage point when working at height. A bamboo scaffold is not a safe anchorage point, so do not fasten the safety harness to it. Wear safety shoes to prevent foot injury.

Noise Wear ear protectors in areas with high noise levels. Properly wear ear protectors according to the manufacturer's

Consult your supervisor if in doubt.

Safety Helmet Wear a safety helmet on a

construction site. Keep the harness of the helmet clean and make sure that it fits well. Do not drill any holes on the helmet or use it for pounding.

and wear safety boots or shoes to prevent injury to toes by heavy falling objects. Seek assistance from someone in lifting a load if necessary.

Personal Hygiene First Aid If you sustain an injury or feel not well while at work, even if it is minor, go to the first aid room right away for medical treatment and notify your supervisor. Put the case on record. clothing. Alcohol and Drugs Do not drink alcohol, or take drugs, while at work. Manual Handling Operations Avoid manual handling operations as far as possible to minimize the risk of injury. Estimate the weight of the load. Lift an object with a correct posture. Wear suitable protective equipment. Put on gloves as far as possible to protect your hands from any cut, scratch or puncture, If you need to take drugs due to illness, report it to your supervisor. Keep yourself clean. Wash hands before meals and after using the toilet. Dress tidily and in protective

In reactive strategy you react after the accident has happened In pro active strategy you make sure that no accident should occur in workplace Labor and management accountability Employees should believe that they are going to be held accountable for their decisions and actions Six elements of effective accountability system : 1.formal standard of performance 2.adequate resources and psychosocial support 3.a system of performance measurement 4.application of effective consequences 5.appropriate application of consequences 6.continous evaluation of accountability system Points to remember: The more Regularly you Recognize and Reward , the more Rarely you will have to Reprimand Training , resources , enforcement , supervision and leadership are 5 obligations of safety Employee involvement Employee is held accountable by the employer for complying with the safety rules , reporting workplace injuries immediately and reporting hazards Rewards are great but , recognition is better Effective communications Its a responsibility to communicate effectively Its not what you say its about how you say it

Hazard identification and control Hazard is state of being leading to illness or injury of a person What can control hazards : 1. Eliminate and substitute hazards 2.Engineering controls 3.administrative controls 4.personal protective equipment Material , people , environment ,system , equipment may be hazardous Do a walk around inspection to see hazards Employee may use his own procedure if not directly supervised Unsafe behaviors lead to 95% cause of accidents Incident and accident investigation Dont go for blame but fix the system You cant afford to relax or be content in safety Incident causes property damage and accident causes life damage too You must know the plan and how to work the plan If accident occurs you must know : 1. background information 2.surface causes and root causes You have to make a report of accident in which you write about findings , recommendations and summary Safety education and training Be trained

We educate to show why We train to show how A simple seven step on the job training includes: 1.introduction 2.trainer shows and tells 3. learner tells trainer shows 4 . Learner shows and tells 5 . Conclusion 6.documentation 7. validate Total quality safety management

Quality and safety are partners in productivity

TQM means to improve performance and process by using coorporate resources

DEMING says about total quality safety management that have a purpose for improvement , adopt a new philosophy , cease dependence on mass inspection , dont go for price tag- go for reducing total cost , improve constantly , give training on job , drive out fear , break down barriers between departments , dont pressurize workforce , give self improvement education and act for transformation PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT THE REQUIREMENT FOR PPE To ensure the greatest possible protection for employees in workplace EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY To wear and maintain PPE

PASS : PULL AIM SQUEEZE-SWEEP MANAGEMENT TRAINING RESPONSIBLITY

A significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional

OSHA 300 form is the log of work related injuries and illnesses All managers should be trained and make sure employees are also trained to understand their FFP responsibility.

OSHA 300 A is the summary of work related injuries and illnesses

OSH RECORD KEEPING OSHA FORM 301 or equipment is the workers and employers report of occupational injury or disease The record keeping and reporting rule requires employers to record and report work related fatalities , injuries and illnesses . Its important to record or report a work related injury , illness or fatality

You must involve your employees and their representatives in the record keeping system

An injury or illness meets the general recording criteria and is recordable , if it results in any one of following six conditions :

TOTAL NO. OF INJURIES AND ILLNESSES / NO. OF HOURS WORKED BY ALL EMPLOYEES * 200 , 000 = TOTAL RECORDABLE CASE RATE

Death Days away from work Restricted work or job transfer Medical treatment beyond first aid Loss of consciousness HAZARD COMMUNICATION

The hazard communication rule applies to any chemical which is known to be present in the workplace in such a manner that employees may be exposed under normal conditions of use or in a foreseeable emergency Responsibility Chemical manufacturers and importers must evaluate chemicals produced in their workplaces or imported by them to determine if they are hazardous Employers must assess the hazards of chemicals and develop a written hazard communication plan along with training and information Material safety data sheet Chemical manufacturers and importers must obtain and develop a material safety data sheet for each hazardous chemical they produce or import and must develop appropriate labels that provide hazard warning information Employee training How to Reference the chemical test or hazards Use material data safety sheets Use protective practices including PPE Recognize a release of chemicals Detect over exposure to chemicals Write secondary container labels Hazard communication plan Employers must develop, implement and maintain a written hazard communication plan that contains a list of hazardous chemicals

being used in the workplace, assign responsibilities and describes procedures for: Labeling containers Maintaining and using material safety data sheets Information and training Pipe labeling Non routine tsk procedures Contractor procedures

Hazardous substance Is any chemical which poses a physical or a health hazard? Physical hazards Are chemical reactions that could result in a fire, explosion and/ or toxic gas release which cause physical trauma if chemicals are handled or stored improperly? Health hazards Is health effects caused directly by the chemicals themselves, not an injury resulting from a reaction

Dusts, fumes. Fibres . Mists . Vapors , gases , solids , liquids Chemical effects On various organs of the human body depend on several important factors : solid , liquid or gas ? Ingested , inhaled , absorbed or injected ?

How much chemical makes its ways into the body? How poisonous is the chemical?

HAZWOPER Hazardous waste operations and emergency response covers response to uncontrollable releases CONDUCTING A JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS

Routes of entry Routes of entry of chemicals may take must be known when assessing the workplace for chemical hazards. Alternative labeling methods HMIS ( hazardous material information system) NFPA (national fire protection association ) Material safety data sheet Used to communicate chemical hazard information from the manufacturer to the employee to train and inform on safe use of hazardous chemicals Employers must obtain a MSDS from the chemical manufacturer or import as soon as possible Employers must maintain in the workplace copies of required material safety data sheets Employee must know The hazard communication program The measures to protect themselves Detect the release or presence of hazardous chemical Physical and health hazards When new hazardous chemical is used in organization

JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS :

It focuses on the relationship between the worker , task tools and environment .after you identify uncontrolled hazards , you will take steps to eliminate or reduce them to an acceptable risk level . You can prevent workplace injuries and illnesses.

IMPROVE YOUR EMPOYEES

Get together with your employees and talk about the actual and potential hazards and unsafe behaviors they believe might exist in their current work and surroundings .Discuss the possible accident that might result from the hazards and behaviors . Next come up with ideas to eliminate or control those hazards and behaviors.

SAFETY MANUAL

HOW TO ASSESS THE RISK The risk score is determined by multiplying the consequence and likelihood scores you have recorded for each hazard To assess the risk associated with hazards you have identified, ask the following questions:

How likely is the hazard to cause harm to someone?

What is the worst possible damage the hazard could cause in terms of human suffering and cost if you don't resolve the problem? How many people are exposed to the risk? Sometimes it may be the amount of time workers spend on an activity that creates the safety risk, rather than the nature of the work task itself. Everyone is different. A hazard may also pose more risk to some people more than others because of differences in physical strength, experience, training etc. HOW TO MANAGE THE RISK The risk score is determined by multiplying the consequence and likelihood scores you have recorded for each hazard To assess the risk associated with hazards you have identified, ask the following questions: How likely is the hazard to cause harm to someone?
