Quality is “the
performance of the
product as per the
commitment made by the
producer to the
consumer.” says J. M.
Juran. A significant
aspect of quality control
is the establishment of
well-defined controls.
These controls help
standardize both
production and reactions
to quality issues.

5. Safety Precautions

Safety of the personnel and properties is to be given prime

importance and all works to be carried out without causing any
accidents or property damages.
Plywood and other related materials shall be stacked properly
near the place of work (Do not stack too large quantity near the
work area thereby causing safety hazard).
Height of the stack should not be more than one and half meter.
Scaffolding to be braced adequately.
Working space to be clear of rubbish, waste mortar etc so that
easy access and cleanliness is ensured.
Scaffolding to be checked for the load carrying capacity and
ensure no overloading.
Lifting, manual transporting of conventional formwork
materials etc must be carried out by workers who are properly
trained. Otherwise, this may cause serious injuries to workers.
Throwing of debris from height strictly prohibited.
Before commencement of block work in front of lift shaft safety
permit should be taken.
CT props to be fixed in front of lift shaft to tie the safety belt.
Hard barricading to be cut only by gas cutting (If any anchored
in concrete along the openings and edges of the building).

samples and shall be stored in the designated area as per the
convenience of shifting and handling to the respective working
location. All the panels are to be handled with care to avoid any
damages during loading, unloading and shifting.
The panels are to be laid on the site evenly such that the load is
distributed instead of concentrating at one point. Each panel shall

surface shall also be fine chisel-dressed to remove all waviness. In
case machine cut slabs are used, fine chisel dressing of machine-
cut surfaces need not be done provided a straight edge laid
anywhere along the machine cut surfaces is in contact with every
point on it.
The sides and top surface of slabs shall be machine rubbed or
table rubbed with coarse sand before paving. All angles and edges
