 PREFACE

The project has been prepared in fulfillment of the requirement of the DIPLOMA
COURSE IN Advance Diploma Industrial Safety conducted by Devi Mahalaxmi
College, Vikhroli, Mumbai.
For any field in this modern and progressive world book knowledge alone does not
satisfy the need of a person. In addition to this knowledge we should also undergo
practical training and see the real problem, which may face during our job. It well
said that an example is better than the advice. Kipping this thing in mind our college
has also attached one practical subject in our syllabus of final year.
From this project we learnt to tackle different types of problem in high rise building
in this project, we have covered all the information, which we collected from jio
world center project.
The objective of this project is to study, evaluate and present the existing safety
system and the process and associated utilities, the hazards association with them
and their meditative measures.

5. Interview all witnesses.
6. Document the scene of the injury through photos or videos.
7. Complete the investigation report, including determination of what caused the incident
and
what corrective actions will prevent recurrences.
8. Use results to improve the injury and illness prevention program to better identify and
Control hazards before they result in incidents.
9. Ensure follow-up on completion of corrective actions. Incident investigation report
circulated across Marathon project and corrective action should be implemented at all
areas by respective site heads to prevent reoccurrence.
10. Incident investigation team members shall be location supervisor, contractor and
company area In Charge, site safety executive and site manager.
11. Incident investigation report with details communicated to all workmen of site in
toolbox talks so that they aware about truth and facts of incident and response

What to Include in the Documented Investigation Process:

The investigation procedure should detail:

Excavation

49
Excavation: Excavation includes any earthwork, trench, well, shaft, tunnel or underground
working. It is the act or process of digging, especially when something specific is being
removed from the ground. The removal of earth, usually to allow the construction of a
foundation or basement.

HAZARDS ASSOCIATED:

• Collapse of the sides of the excavation.

• Materials falling onto the people working in the excavation.
• People and vehicles falling into the excavation.
• Vehicle movement at excavation site and traffic mismanagement,
• Hazards associated with Machinery.
• The undermining of nearby structures causing their collapse into the excavation.
• Damage to overhead and underground services during excavation work causing
contact with live overhead cables, electrocution, explosion, gas escape, flooding etc.
• Ingress/access of water causing flooding.
• Manual handling of material by workers.
• Water logging in excavated pit and mosquito breeding

SAFETY MEASURES:

• Excavation is one of the important phases of the construction activity. Due to

insufficient attention to the safety aspects, it has become the cause of many
accidents. It is therefore necessary to plan and execute all excavations in safe
manner. Soil analysis is important in order to determine appropriate sloping,
benching, and shoring.

• It is to be ensured that personnel with thorough knowledge and experience of

excavation work supervise all excavations.

• The integrity of the possibility and support system shall be inspected prior to the
commencement of any work on a daily basis.

• Where there is the possibility of any ingress of water, then pumping shall be
established with pumps being daily available for use and additional ladders placed
for use in the event of the emergency evacuation.

• No excavation shall commence till the disposal area has been earmarked and is
ready to receive the excavated material. Excavated spoil, plant or materials should
not be stored close to the sides of excavations as loose material can fall in. The
extra loading can make the sides of the excavation more likely to collapse.

50
 • Before starting any excavation of any description in the existing site, permission in
prevents slides. If sloping is impractical, shoring shall be used whenever the
vertical dimension exceeds 1 meter. After completion of excavation activity,
shoring shall be removed systematically to ensure prevention of sliding of earth
endangering crew working inside.

• Barricades/handrails (1.2-meter-high), signals, or other appropriate warning

devices to protect personnel from any hazardous operation during excavation shall
be provided at every accessible part of an excavation such as pit etc. It shall be
properly covered when handrails or barricades do not provide adequate protection.

• Excavations shall be avoided during night and if necessary, illuminated all areas
properly.

• No excavation or earthwork below the foundation level of any adjoining building

in an existing site shall be taken up unless adequate steps are taken to prevent
damage to the existing structure.

• Mechanical excavation should not be started where underground cables and pipelines
are less than 1.2 meter below ground. Initial digging shall be by hand, in a cautious
manner. Tiles covering electric cables shall not be removed without the consent of
authorized person.

• The excavation permit shall be used.

• If cables or pipelines are accidentally damaged, concern contractor shall notify

concerned authorities immediately.

• Trench collapse should be avoided by battering the sides to a safe angle or by

supporting them with sheeting or proprietary support systems. Support should be
installed without delay as the work progresses. Ensure the workers are competent and
experienced as far as possible and that they have clear instructions.

• Provide safe access in and out of the excavation.

• If cables or pipelines are exposed during excavation work, they shall be sufficiently
supported and protected. No material or load shall be placed or stacked near the edge
of the excavation or opening in the ground. The excavated material shall not be
placed within 2 meters of the excavation area, trench and If depth is more than 5-
meter, material shall be store at separate place.

• No under cutting on the side of excavation shall be allowed.

• Provide safe access and egress for all excavations, for excavation 4 feet (1.2 meters)
deep or more, ladders, steps or ramps for safe access and egress must be provided
within 25 feet of lateral travel. Ladders shall extend above the top of the excavation
by 1 meter for step off.
51
• Does not work in excavation where water has accumulated or is accumulating unless
adequate provisions have been taken to protect employees against the hazards posed
by water accumulations. The engineer must inspect excavations subject to run-offs
form heavy rains and monitor for proper use of water-removal equipment.

• No persons must be permitted under loads handles by power shovels, derricks, or

hoists.

• All employees must be protected with total personal protective equipment’s; Safety
helmet, safety shoes/gum boots with steel toe and other as per requirements.

Hot Work

55
Definition: Hot work is any process that can be a source of ignition when flammable
material is present or can be a fire hazard regardless of the presence of flammable
material in the workplace. Common hot work processes are welding, soldering, cutting
and brazing.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Equipment operators should be competent and familiar with the equipment to be used
and
should inspect it before use.

• Operators should be given safety instructions if special precautions need to be taken.

• Compressed gas cylinders fitted with safety valve and must not be use in confined
space.

• Before any operation begins, inspections and tests should be carried out to ensure that
there are no combustible solids, liquids or gases at or in any compartments adjacent to the
work area which might be ignited by heat or sparks from the work.

• All surfaces to be welded, or upon which hot work is to be conducted, should be free
of oil,
grease or any flammable or combustible material.

• All openings through which sparks might fall in should be closed, where practicable.
Where
closure is not possible; fire blanket shall be provided, and area barricaded so that
movement of persons is restricted.

• Suitable fire extinguishers should be provided where the hot work is being carried out
by concern contractor.

• Adequate ventilation should be provided to extract fumes generated by welding and

cutting
• operations. If adequate ventilation cannot be accomplished, suitable respiratory
protection should be worn.
• Personal Protective Equipment’s:
The equipment operator and other persons involved in the hot work process should
wear clean and approved personal protective equipment. PPE’s should be free from
oil, grease or other flammable substances.
• The operator and persons involved should wear:
A suitable welding shield with safety helmet while welding
A suitable UV/IR resistant eye protection while gas cutting; dry leather hand
gloves.

56
 Any other appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment, e.g. safety shoes.
Boiler suit shall be provided to welder as mandatory clothing
• Electric welding equipment:
i. The power supply should be alternate current (AC), which minimizes the risk
from electric shock and later converted by machine in to constant current
(CC).
ii. Cables should be inspected before use, and connectors should be fully
insulated. Damaged cables and connectors should not be used.
iii. Circuit breakers/ELCB/Suitable means should be provided for rapidly cutting
off current from the electrode, should the operator encounter difficulties.
Welding equipment should be kept switched off when not in use.
iv. All welding torches should be properly insulated. Torches with damaged
insulation should be disposed off.
GAS CUTTING AND BRAZING:
• Equipment should have backpressure valves fitted adjacent to the torch in the oxygen
and acetylene lines and flash back arresters should be used at cylinder and torch
end. Oxygen may explode under excessive pressure. It should not be used at a
pressure exceeding one (1) atmosphere gauge
• If a backfire occurs, the valves on the oxygen and acetylene cylinders should be
closed immediately. An acetylene cylinder that becomes overheated is very
dangerous as an impact could cause internal ignition and subsequent explosion.
• Only hoses which have been specially designated for gas cutting operations should be
used. Hoses in which a flashback has occurred, or which are in any other way
damaged, should be discarded.
• Torch should be lit by a special friction igniter/match box. Gases should be shut off at
the pressure reducing regulatory before a torch is changed.
• Gas torches shall e dismantled and cleaned at regular intervals to ensure that there are
no blockages. Red hoses shall be used for acetylene and flammable gases whilst
oxygen hoses shall be blue.
• Hoses end connection shall be properly secured. Regular inspection is required before

RISK ASSESSMENT

78
 RISKASSESSMENT
A risk assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your business, as well as
complying with the law. It helps you focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace –
the ones with the potential to cause harm. In many instances, straight for- ward measures can
readily control risks, for example, ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so people do not
slip, or cupboard drawers kept closed to ensure people do not trip. For most, that means simple,
cheap and effective measures to ensure your most valuable asset – your workforce – is
protected.

Observation

1. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL

(HIRAC) PROCESS
2. A corporate EHS Committee comprising of management & HOD’S, conducts re-
views and identifies Hazards, associated risk & control measures, and records in
Hazards identification Risk& Assessment format OHS/401.
3. Injury or ill health 2. Damage to property 3. Damage to the workplace environment
or,4. Combination of above

The hazard and their associated risks are evaluated considering following:
1. Existing risk controls in place
2. Legal and other requirements
3. Chemical factors
4. Physical factors
5. Biological factors
6. Ergonomically factors (physiological & psychological)

4. For each OH&S hazard, detailed as above, risk is valuated. Accordingly,

residual risk is classified Low (tolerable), Moderate& High risk.

5. The information on classification of risks as above is used for establishing OH&S

objectives and OH&S management program QEHS/401 to ensure establishing/
revising and implementing appropriate risk control measures including development
of /revisions in operating control procedures.

6. The risk analysis process is reviewed after every six months by site EHS committee and
forwarded to corporate EHS Committee. The information is kept updated whenever
there is a new process introduced.

WORK PERMIT SYSTEMS
 Definition: The commitment to follow safety instructions, in writing is obtained through
“Permit System”, which has to commence from the day, the first construction activity
starts at site until the last activity. “Permit System” is followed in case of those activities
where there are higher potential risks and hazards. These generally are:
i. Hot work
ii. Entry into confined space, shaft, UG tank.
iii. Working on electrical lines/equipment
iv. Height work.
v. Demolition Work.

4.1.3 This chapter lays down steps to be taken by project manager before and during the
above
mentioned activities at construction site. There are three different “permit” forms, each deal
with various activities. Each form has certain standard instructions and space for writing
special instructions by project manager, related to the activity and site situation. These
instructions have
to be clearly understood by the workers, engineer and ensured that they are followed by the
persons carrying out the concerned activity. The forms, therefore, require signatures of
concerned responsible persons, implying their commitment to the instruction. The forms also
require communication regarding completion of the permitted activities. After the form is
returned stating completion of an activity, the same activity cannot be carried out again
unless the
permit is renewed.

3. ADMINISTRATION

Safety officer shall ensure that the procedure as outlined below is followed:

• Contracts department shall inform all contractors about the permit system and advise
them in writing (by letters and notices) that permits are required to carry out hot work
and height work activities as mention in work permit.
• Contractors shall be advised to apply for permits for the concerned activity at least
one day before, if activity starts early in morning, or on same day prior to starting of
activity.
• Safety officer shall issue the requisite permit form, noting down special instructions,
if any, to the contractor’s supervisors, who will sign on the form.
• To carry out the above-mentioned activities, contractor supervisor, engineers has to
fill up the requisite permit format.

5
 • After the site and persons are ready as per the instruction on the form, site
engineer/supervisor
shall inspect the work site, persons and mark the check points as per the requisite form and if
instructions/check points are fully complied, the contractor’s supervisor, project engineer
shall sign the form to permit the activity for the period and date mentioned on the form.

• During the progress of the activity/work permitted \ the contractor’s and project
manager designated engineer/supervisor shall ensure that there are no deviations from
the instruction.
• Project manager or any supervisor and engineer can stop work and cancel the permit
immediately by stating the reason and signing the permit, if they find any deviations
during the progress of work.
• When the activity / work is completed or the period / date stipulated on the form has
lapsed, safety officer, shall ensure that the contractor’s supervisor returns the form
(duly signed) to safety officer who shall file it for future reference.
• Fresh permit shall be issued if the activity has to be continued after completion of the
period, if the work site is different, or if the work site conditions change.
• Contractor’s supervisors shall be advised by safety officer to keep one copy of the
permit
with them as long as activity/work is in progress and it may be demanded by any person as a
proof for authorization of the work in progress.

Observation

Safety work permit / work order is prepared by site

Engineer.
The permit specifies the scope of the work, time required for job, name and number of
person working on job, necessary personal protective equipment needed, and necessary
precaution to be taken etc.

6
Work permit is given to supervisor of contractor people
only.
After completion of work it is checked by site engineer and permits is collected and
gives report on it.

Recommendation
The flowing permits can be added like cold work permit for routine job having normal
hazards and risk exposures.

7
MATERIAL HANDLING
MANUAL MATERIAL HANDLING

Manual material handling operations are carried out in most construction sites. Each
handling task poses unique demands on the worker. However, workplaces can help workers
to perform these tasks safely and easily by implementing and upholding
proper policies and procedures.

Hazards

To assess the hazards of manual material handling operations, consider the load, the task, the
environment in which the task is performed, and the operator. When these fac- tors interact
with each other, they can create hazards that result in injuries.

A load may be hazardous because of:

● Weight
● Size
● Shape (making it awkward to handle)
● coupling (type of grip on the load)
● Slippery or damaged surfaces
● absent or inappropriate handles, and
● Imbalance surface (i.e., changing center of gravity)

Observation

Specific training on material handling for storekeepers, workers, and site staff is Provided;
implementation on job is seen less, all workers & staff awareness on manual material
handling hazards needs improvement.

Recommendation

Similarly, the handling of concrete block must also make use of cotton hand gloves should be
mandatory to avoid hand / palm scratch injuries.
MECHANICAL MATERIAL HANDLING

Tower crane and Boom placer is used to lift steel, scaffolding, wooden shuttering
materials and boom placer is equipment used for pumping concrete to various pours of
slab, is used

Tower Crane (Luffing)

Only cranes / Hydras are used in site for loading and unloading of heavy pipe, heavy
steel bunch, heavy shutters, using wire rope for metal objects, & nylon web slings for
wooden materials, operator is trained to follow the instruction, maintenance records
available, emergency procedure is known to operators

Boom placer: is used for concrete pumping on high elevated structures, hydraulic pres-
sure is used for pumping the concrete.

Material lift: is used for man & material shifting to higher floors mechanically, hence
safe workload chart with type of material is displayed inside the lift and operator is
trained to follow the instruction, maintenance records available, emergency procedure is
known to operators

Observation
Third party test is conducted for all lifting machines, tools and tackles, regularly
As per the factories act 1948 section-29 and Maharashtra factories rule 64, crane and
chain blocks are tested once in six months.
Safe working load is plainly painted on crane and lifting
machines. Regular lubrication is also done.
All moving parts are guarded.

Recommendation
It is recommended to have periodic and specific training of operators to be done, Caution
boards should be displayed

 CONCLUSION
Accidents in any organization are the drain to that organization. Accidents always bring down the
moral of the employees, which ultimately affect the productivity and efficiency.

Accidents in one organization not only affect the profit of that organization but it also affects the
employees working there, society, environment and the economy of the nation at large.

So, efforts should be taken whole heartedly to avoid the accident. Only management cannot do this or
only workers, but teamwork is required for this. The man- agreement should conduct safety awareness
programs and ensure involvement of every employee in these programs.

A safety system should be developed, and no one should be allowed to work while compromise with
Health & safety.

It is the moral responsibility of everyone to work for prevention of the accident. If a person gets
affected, then his family, the society in which he is living and the nation at a large has to suffer a loss.
So, it is the moral responsibility of everyone to follow the safety norms.
