Need For Safety


- To protect health of all employees
- To ensure well being of all workers
- To promote positive culture in all organization or company
- To ensure accident and incident prevention
- To ensure organization development and its growth
- To ensure continual improvement of company

Accident
- An accident is an unintentionally-caused event.
- An unexpected event that results in serious injury or illness of an employee and may
also result in property damage.
- Accidents which take place in the workplace are referred to as occupational accidents.
- Workplace accidents include events that damage property, inhibit a particular
workplace function, or cause harm to a person located in the workplace.

Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition


The unsafe act is a violation of an accepted The unsafe condition is a hazardous physical
safe procedure which could permit the condition or circumstance which could
occurrence of an accident directly permit the occurrence of an accident
80% of all injuries on duty are the result of A study attributes 20% of all injuries on duty
unsafe Acts by people to unsafe working conditions.
Eg: Eg:
Due to Speed Loud Noise
Using Defective equipment Poor Layout of site
Using equipment improperly Hazardous Environmental Conditions

THEORIES OF ACCIDENT CAUSATION

Accident causation theory is the art and science that seeks to understand the deeper roots of
why accidents happen.

1. Henrich Domino Theory

A theory of accident causation and control, developed by H.W. Heinrich. That


propose that all accidents, whether in a residence or a workplace environment,
are the result of a chain of events. The chain of events consists of the following
sequential factors: ancestry and social environment, an individual's mistake, an
unsafe action and/or physical hazard, the actual accident, and an injury as the
result of the preceding factors. These factors are described as dominoes, and the
removal of any one of these five factors can prevent the accident.

3E ‘s of Henrich Domino Theory

Adsetics
Engineering

– Control hazards through product design or process change

Education

– Train workers regarding all facets of safety

– Impose on management that attention to safety pays off

Enforcement

– Insure that internal and external rules, regulations, and standard operating

procedures are followed by workers as well as management.

2. Human Factors Theory

The human factors theory of accident causation attributes accidents to a chain of events
ultimately caused by human error. It consists of the following three broad factors that
lead to human error: overload, inappropriate response, and inappropriate activities.

Overload
- The work task is beyond the capability of the worker
Includes physical and psychological factors
-Influenced by environmental factors, internal factors, and
situational factors.

Inappropriate Worker Response


-To hazards and safety measures (worker’s fault)
- To incompatible work station (management, environment faults)\

Inappropriate Activities
- Lack of training and misjudgment of risk

Adsetics
3. Peterson’s Accident Theory

4. Epidemiological Theory of Accident Causation

– This field studies relationship between environmental factors and disease


– Can be used to study causal factors in a relationship
Two key components:
1 Predisposition characteristics
• Tendencies may predispose worker to certain actions
2 Situational characteristics
• Peer pressure, poor attitude, risk taking

Together these characteristics can cause or prevent accidents that a person predisposed
to a given situation.

Adsetics
5. System Theory of Accident Causation

This theory views a situation in which an accident may occur as a system comprised of
the following components: person (host), machine (agency), and environment.

6. Combination Theory

Accidents may/may not fall under any one model

• Result from factors in several models.

• One model cannot be applied to all accidents

7. Behavioural Theory

Often referred to as behavior-based safety (BBS)


7 basic principles
– Intervention
– Identification of internal factors
– Motivation to behave in the desired manner
– Focus on the positive consequences of appropriate behavior
– Application of the scientific method
– Integration of information
– Planned interventions

8. Energy Release Theory


Willam Haddon a medical doctor and the adminstrator of NHTSA at
one point in time, in 1966 helped to impose the following regulations
for new cars:
1. Seat belts for all occupants
2. Energy-absorbing steering column
3. Penetration-resistant windshield
4. Dual braking systems
5. Padded instrument panel
6. All measures correspond with the energy and barrier concept

Frequency Rate

The frequency rate is the number of disabling injuries per one million man-hours worked

Number of workers=500

Number of disabling injuries per year= 5.

Average number of hours worked by worker per year=2000.

Sol. Frequency rate=numbers of disabling injuries/number of man-hours worked x 1000,000

= 5/500×2000 x 1000000=5.

Severity Rate

Severity rate=days lost in year due to accidents/number of man-hours worked x 1000,000

Eg:

Number of workers=2000.

Number of days lost in a year due to accidents=100 Average number of hours worked by

worker per year=2000.

Sol. Severity rate=days lost in year due to accidents/number of man-hours worked x1000,000
Number of man-hours worked in this case=2000 X 2000.
Days lost in year due to accidents=100+35=135.

House Keeping

• Refers to the management of duties and chores involved in the running of a household, such
as cleaning, cooking, home maintenance, shopping, and bill payment.
• • These tasks may be performed by members of the household, or by other persons hired for
the purpose.

Responsibility of management and employees.

• Managers must train employees to recognize potentially hazardous conditions and take
corrective actions before they cause injuries like sprains, strains, falls;
• Proper training to identify hazards and risks associated with these tasks will help prevent
employee injury
• Prepare a safety manual that is read and understood at the time of induction of new
employees.
• Paste safety rules on walls at strategic points in the work area.
• Reinforce safety rules in daily briefings.

Work Permit System

The work permit specifies the conditions and procedures for safe execution of the work and allows the
work to be carried out under controlled risk conditions.

Aim:
The purpose of the work permit system is to ensure that:

1. Only authorized persons are allowed to work in hazardous area which is clearly notified.
2. The person permitted for work are being aware of the various safety issues involved and
knows that necessary safety precautions have been taken.

3. Work permit is legal documents between issuer and executor for commencement of job inside
refinery.
4. Client has implemented the work permit system to distribute the equal responsibilities of job
being performed.

So don’t do anything without proper work permit.

Hot Work Permit

During process of work where ignition comes out or heat generates its own is considered as
hot work.

The permit is required for following jobs:

Welding

Flame cutting

While using pneumatic/ hydraulic power tools

Cold Work Permit

Authorization to operate machinery or other functions that do not generate any form of heat
in the manufacturing process.

Example:- Mechanically induced bending, shearing, squeezing and drawing etc.

MODULE 3

SAFETY ISSUES IN CONSTRUCTION

The major areas considered for safety considerations at the Construction site are:

1. Excavation work at Construction

Serious hazards can be provided to the workers involved in the trenching and
excavation works.

● The major risk is during the cave-ins which is severe than any excavation
issues.

● Before entering the trench, it must be assured that adequate protections are
provided to prevent the cave-in hazards.

● Other issues associated with the same are hazardous atmosphere, falling
loads and safety issues from the mobile equipment.

• The sides of excavation work must be sloped and benched for easy
movement. This avoids further collapse. A slope not steeper than 1 and
half to 1 is safe for any form of soil
• The sides of excavation must be supported.
• The side of the excavation and the working area must be separated by
means of a shield.
• Protective barricades can be used to avoid falling of soil rock over the
workers

2. Housekeeping

Housekeeping practice in a construction site means keeping the work area


neat, orderly and avoid slip and trip hazards.

Proper maintenance of the building area and the working equipment is the
primary safety practice. This ensures that the building, equipment and the
machinery are efficiently working

➔ Regular cleaning during the work shifts

➔ Proper waste disposal

Adsetics
➔ Unused materials can be removed and

➔ Proper inspection of the work area by a competent person

➔ The access and exit for the construction site must be safe and clear

➔ General safety signs must be erected and placed in order

➔ There must be safe and neat storage spaces for the materials and the
plant

➔ Maintain a neat and orderly workplace environment.

3. Scaffolding Issues

Scaffolding is a temporary frame used to support people and material in the


construction or repair of building° and other large structures.

● Improper scaffolding will result in hazards. Fall hazards are occurred if


scaffolds are not properly erected or used.

● The scaffolding must be erected on a solid footing with proper foot bearing
plates

● The scaffolding used must be strong and rigid

● The scaffolding must carry its dead weight and almost 4 times the
maximum load coming over it. This must be

carried without any form of displacement or settlement.

● Scaffolding must not be supported by means of boxes, loose bricks or any


other unstable objects

● Any repair or damage to the scaffolding accessories like braces, screw


legs, ladders or trusses have to be

repaired and replaced

Adsetics
4.Working at Heights

The major safety practice that is to be provided when the workers are at
heights are to provide sufficient fall protection.

● Greatest fatalities in the construction industry are caused due to falls.

Use of aerial lifts or elevated platforms to provide safer working surface

○ The holes in the floors must be covered

○ Personal fall arrest systems or safety net systems must be used

○ Provide guard rails

○ Warning lines or control lines can be installed

5. Issue with Under – Water works

Underwater construction work is an area which requires extensive training.

Extreme familiarity with their diving equipment.

● Check working condition of equipment.

● Plan the dive: time, depth, work to be done and stick to the plan.

● Never dive alone. Always have at least one partner that we will stay close
to.

● Have a rescue plan in place.

● Know where the nearest decompression chamber is located and how to get
help.

● Descend slowly.

● Ascend slowly with the scheduled breaks.

● Monitor air supply regularly during the entire dive.

6. Issues with Under pinning

It is the process of strengthening and stabilizing the foundation of an existing


building or other structure.

Adsetics
● The original foundation is simply not strong or stable enough, e.g. due to
decay of wooden piles the foundation.

● The usage of the structure has changed.

● The properties of the soil supporting the foundation may have changed
(possibly through subsidence) or were mischaracterized during planning.

● The construction of nearby structures necessitates the excavation of soil


supporting existing foundations.

● It is more economical, due to land price or otherwise, to work on the present


structure's foundation than to build a new one.

7. Shoring

● It is a general term used in construction to describe the process of supporting


a structure in order to prevent collapse so that construction can proceed. The
phrase can also be used as a noun to refer to the materials used in the process.

● Shoring is used to support the beams and floors in a building while a column
or wall is removed.

● In this situation vertical supports are used as a temporary replacement for


the building columns or walls.

● Trenches - During excavation, shoring systems provide safety for workers in


a trench and speed excavation. In this case, shoring should not be confused
with shielding.

● Shoring is designed to prevent collapse where shielding is only designed to


protect workers when collapse occur.

● Concrete structures shoring, in this case also referred as falsework, provides


temporary support until the concrete becomes hard and achieves the desired
strength to support loads.

8. Issues while using ladders

People who work at a construction site often overlook ladder safety

Ladder is a common piece of equipment used in construction site

A fall from a ladder can result in permanent disabilities, and may even lead to
death.

In fact,numerous people get injured every day due to not following proper
ladder safety.

9. Safet

y in Tunnelling

1.The floor of the tunnel should be kept dry and clean.

2. Open flames, electric short-circuiting should be avoided by providing proper


covering over the power line and light.

3. Medical equipment and doctors should always be available at the site.

4. Fire fighting equipment with an excellent operator and sufficient water supply
should be available at the site at all

times.

5. Light and electric lines need to be entirely secured and insulated.

6. Unnecessary machines, tools, and construction materials should be avoided to store


in the tunnel.

7. All the machines and tools should be maintained in usable condition.

8. Working platforms should be checked periodically.

10. Safety in Blasting

● Blasting is a process of reduction of rocks or hard soil into fragments with the help of
explosives

● The blasting operation involves drilling of holes, installation of a detonator and charge,
detonating the charge, and removal of debris.

- The blasting operations shall be carried out under the supervision of a responsible
authorized blasting engineer.

Adsetics
● In case of blasting with dynamite, the position of all the boreholes to be drilled shall be
marked in circles with white paint.

11. Safety in Demolition

Demolition or dismantling refers to breaking up of buildings, structures either fully or


partially.

● Utmost consideration is to be given to demolition or dismantling of structures than to


erection, construction and maintenance.

● The problems, hazards and uncertainties can be much greater in demolition if it is also
carried out by the unskilled workers.

● The design engineers have responsibility for safety for not only for design and construction
but also for the demolition of the structures at the end of its usual life.

12. Safety in Confined Space

A confined space is one which is both enclosed, or largely enclosed, and which also has a
reasonably foreseeable risk of fire, explosion, loss of consciousness, asphyxiation or
drowning to workers.

● It may be small and restrictive for the worker or it could be far larger such as a grain
storage silo with hundreds of cubic meter capacity.

National Building Code Provisions

● The National Building Code (NBC) is a document that provides guidelines for construction
of structures- residential, mercantile, institutional, educational, commercial, assembly,
storage spaces or even hazardous buildings.

● It is important to follow these guidelines that are meant to protect the overall health of the
construction and ensure the health and safety of the public and the residents.

Residential buildings are classified into the following categories:

○ Lodging or rooming houses.

○ One or two-family private dwellings.

○ Dormitories.

○ Apartment houses or flats.

○ Hotels

Adsetics
Ergonomic Hazards

Ergonomic hazards are physical conditions that may pose a risk of injury to the
musculoskeletal system.

● Ergonomic hazards include awkward postures, static postures, high forces, repetitive
motion, or short intervals between activities.

● The risk of injury is often magnified when multiple factors are present.

● Factors such as whole-body or hand/arm vibration, poor lighting, poorly designed tools,
equipment, or

workstations all contribute to negative interactions with the worker/user

- provides them periodic/scheduled inspections and minor repairs to reduce the

danger of unanticipated breakdowns

Adsetics
Predictive (Condition- Bases) Maintainance

● In predictive maintenance, machinery conditions are periodically monitored and this

enables the maintenance crews to take timely actions, such as machine adjustment, repair
or overhaul.

● It makes use of human sense and other sensitive instruments, such as audio gauge,
vibration analyzer, amplitude meter, pressure, temperature and resistance strain gauges etc.

5) What is Hazard and Operability Analysis


● Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) is a structured and systematic technique for
system examination and risk management.
● In particular, HAZOP is often used as a technique for identifying potential hazards in
a system and identifying operability problems likely to lead to nonconforming
products.
● HAZOP is based on a theory that assumes risk events are caused by deviations from
design or operating intentions.
● Identification of such deviations is facilitated by using sets of "guide words" as a
systematic list of deviation perspectives.
● This approach is a unique feature of the HAZOP methodology that helps stimulate
the imagination of team members when exploring potential deviations.

8) Explain the types of chemical hazards in detail.


● Irritant chemical
Primary irritant cause inflammation is one of the body's defense mechanisms. It is
the reaction of tissue to harm which in sufficient to kill the tissue and is typified by
construction of the small vessels in the affected area, dilution of the blood vessels,
increased permeability of vessel walls, and migration of the white blood cell and
defensive cells to the invading harmful chemicals i.e. sulphur dioxide may made a
blistering effect on Upper respiratory.

● Sensitizers
generally sensitizers may not on first contact result in any ill effects, although cellular
changes can be induced and the body's immune system affected (some chemicals
may act as primary irritants as well as sensitizers).

Adsetics
● Anesthetic and Narcotic anesthetic and narcotic e.g. hydrocarbons and certain
derivatives such as the various chlorinated solvents or other, exert a depressant
action on the central nervous system i.e. Aliphatic alcohols, petroleum etc.

● Systematic poisons
Systematic poisons attack organs other than the initial site of contact. The critical
organs are the kidneys, liver, blood and bone marrow. Many halogenated
hydrocarbons are effects the Visceral organs in Hematopoietic (i.e. blood-forming
system) Nervous system.

● Respiratory Fibro gens]


The hazard of particulate matter is influenced by the toxic and size and morphology
of the particles. The critical size of dust (and aerosol) particles is 0.5 to 7 um, since
these can become deposited in the respiratory bronchioles and alveoli. i.e. Free
crystalline silica.

● Carcinogens
Cancer is a disorder of the body's control of the growth of cells. The diseases may be
a genetic or influenced by life style or exposure to certain chemicals, termed
carcinogens i.e. Coal tar pitch dust, Asbestos etc.
