Main findings of the inspection

1. Chemical Hazard (Observation No: 07)


Painter was working at 6th floor outside the building by using spray. These spray paints forms small
droplets in the atmosphere and creates volatile vapours around working area and the person working
there may inhale of these volatile paint vapour which lead to suffocation and respiratory problems and
leading to heath issues and acute effects. It also cause skin cancers and burning sensation in eyes

In breaches law Chemicals regulation, 1990 (No 177) and Control of substances hazards to health
(COSHH 2002)

Recommendation:
Management have to ensure those workers are wearing respiratory protective equipment to prevent
respiratory problems, coveralls to prevent from skin allergies and goggles to protect eyes. These
protective equipment would cost approx. Rs25000

2. Excavation or caves (observation no: 11)

In the site area worker are ditch of 10feet in depth excavation. Here water to be storage because of
any fire fighting issues (sump) on the building area in the futures and it is an Act of law. I am found there
is no protection for the excavation peoples slip and fall into the ditch as well as there is no protection and
signage boards.
In the ILO legislation of convention C 167 safety and health in construction convention in 1988 Article no
167.
Safety and health in construction convention (C167) capital ILO.

Recommendation:

Here the origination should provide Hydraulic shoring of trench would prevent workers to fall from height
by slip or soil to cave in and would cost approximately 20000/- and it is easier to fix by one person and
can be used for new upcoming projects

3. Scaffold collapse, falling of people and objects (observation no: 12, 21)

In the construction major accidents may causes scaffolds collapse, falling from edges and
Falling objects. Scaffold being used by the workers at construction site different types of heights and even
surface area also, out riggers were broken and not being replaced, toe board have huge gaps and some
braces been missing and other peoples are not fitted properly which may lead to collapse of scaffold,
falling of people and object form height can lead to injured seriously from head injury to muscle stress and
pains.
The international legislation of convention C167- health and safety in construction in 1988 article no 167
and health and safety at work 1974 (HASWA).
Scaffolding and lifting act 1912 and regulation 1950.

Recommendation:

The origination peoples are selected the competent persons to makes scaffold be perfect using
purpose. And purchase of new scaffold materials. And provide safety nets at working area. To be saved
the many people’s life and prevents falling of objects and collapsing of scaffold which would cost 70000/-
4. Fire hazard (Observation no: 16)

In the construction site workers are working welding the rods which is closer to gas cylinders (LPG)
storage area and sparks while welding can contact with the LPG gas lead s to cause fire and explosion
property damage and mass casualties in the workplace. Here the loss of origination may casualties and
property damage cost Rs 100000/- and other indirect costs of court fines.

Which breaches the international legislation of convention C167 safety and health in construction
convention in 1988 Article no 167 and fire protection and prevention Act1997?
Indian factory act 1948 section 32C-subsection 3e.
Fire prevention and fire safety act 1986 by the government of India.

Recommendation:

The origination to be provided a separate covered welding area. The whole construction site where
all welding works can be take place separately. This eventually presents mass casualties and property
damage. It is may be cost of the 50000

5. Electrician hazard (observation no: 18, 20)

In the work site, the main electric power supply for the entire construction site that located near the
excavation area is unprotected and no signage of danger being placed, can lead to electrocution, shocks,
burns and death. In the secondary effects such as fall from height due to throw off can cause serious
injury of bone fractures and head injury.

The breaches of the law Indian electricity act and rules 1956 rule 29.

Recommendation:
Management should allocate resources for barricading the high danger electricity power supply area by
isolating and that would cost around Rs18000/- .can prevent burns, electrocution and even death Danger
Signage boards should also positioned near the power supply area
