Executive Summary

I thanks to the RUSHITA construction for giving me the opportunity to carry out the health and safety
inspection. It’s appreciated that the construction site has good practices like

Drinking water facility at each floor level for employees hot and cold option according to the worker
need. Locker facility allocated for employees separately according to their needs and nearest to the
work place area workers easy to access. First aid appropriate and accessible to with workers at the
site with the complete kit. In this site each floor has minted fire fighting lines and sprinklers and smoke
detectors. Toilets have been maintained clean and tidy with all provision to the workers like soaps,
hand wash liquids etc.

In the construction site I am observed some major hazards. The management has to look and rectify
issues they are

Scaffold is not erected on the flat surface, no guard rails, braces and it is not fitted properly. Not follow

6. Control of substances hazards to health (COSHH 2002).
7. Safety and health in construction convention (C167 ) capital ILO

Therefore I recommend the management to improve the training, information, instruction and
supervision and safe methods of working practices especially on fire, scaffold, excavation, electrical
and chemical related work activate

Main findings of the inspection

1. 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. Which eventually presents mass casualties and
property damage. It is may be cost of the 50000/-.

2. Scaffold collapse, falling of people and objects (observation no: 2, 23)

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 peoples life and prevents falling of objects and collapsing of scaffold which would
cost 70000/-
3. Excavation or caves (observation no: 1)

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 form 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.

4. Electrician hazard (observation no: 17, 25)

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.

5. Chemical Hazard Observation No: 10

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 that worker 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/-

Conclusions

In this construction origination I am observed my health and safety knowledge find major problems in
this origination. In this origination major findings needs to be immediate action towards the safety of
workers from health and safety management. These are excavation falling peoples, electricity shocks
and burners, fire explosion, collision with vehicle pedestrians at warehouse by vehicles or forklifts
which can be controlled and followed the safety policy and rules.

Other safety concerns such as manual handling, vibration, noise, stress, biological effect, chemical
exposure, heat, stress, lighting and ventilation can also be controlled with suitable preventive control
measures which also recommended on the observation sheet.

The workforces were seemed to be very happily because of the origination to be followed welfare
facilities such as locker, first aid provisions, drinking water, rest room ,toilet facilities both men and
women separately and smoker zones areas. The origination is followed the health and safety policy is
maimed sufficiently.

And finally I would request to the management please takes any accidental issue may be occur in the
site take immediately action on the suitable recommendation for the good implementation of health
and safety culture. The origination people should be followed by the International labour origination
acts and minted.
