DOLE CONSTRUCTION

SAFETY AND HEALTH


PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP

Management leadership is vital to the success of this safety and healthy program. It lays
the foundation upon which this program is established. In accord with the concept of the
worth of very individual human life is always placed to the highest value. Top
management is committed towards accident prevention and control and takes lead in
establishing sound safety practices. The success of this program emanates from top
management's announced and demonstrated interest in safety to obtain employee
cooperation and participation.

GENERAL POLICY

It is the general policy of a contractor to perform work in the safest manner possible
consistent with good construction practices. To fulfill the requirements of this policy, an
organized and effective Safety and Health Plan as described in this manual and in
consonance with DOLE Occupational Safety and Health Standards must be carried out on
every project.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of the safety program is to assist management in the development of a plan
designed to protect the employees and to increase production by the prevention and
control of accidents and risks which involves elements such as manpower, material,
machinery and tools, equipment and time. In compliance to the program, a practical,
sound and effective plan for the prevention of and response to accidents shall be
established. Specific responsibilities to management and supervision down to the least of
the workers shall be assigned. For the program to be abreast with the Current Safety
standards and regulations and technical advancements, review and revision shall be
conducted as may be required.

All employees, visitors, subcontractors, vendors/suppliers, etc. shall comply with this
safety program while on the work site.

Since accidents usually result from the same deficiencies that adversely affect
productivity, costs, employee and public relations, the safety record is a reliable guide to
the general effectiveness of supervision. An efficient operation is one, which gets out the
most production at the lowest cost. Whenever unsafe conditions or unsafe work methods
require workers to pay less attention to production because they must spend more time
trying not to be injured, or when accident occurs, the operation is that much less efficient.
A safe operation is an efficient operation. It must be made certain that every employee
knows this.
PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS

The Project Safety and Health Program will be effective as a result of the active
participation and personal cooperation of all employees at all levels and the positive
coordination of their efforts in carrying out the following responsibilities:

The proper planning of all work to minimize personal injury, property damage
and loss of productive efforts.

Establishing and maintaining a system for early detection and correction of unsafe
practices and conditions.

Providing adequate protection of adjacent public, private and government


properties to provide for their safety.

Investigating accidents and safety incidents to determine cause, and taking


necessary corrective actions.

and maintain the interest and active participation of all personnel involved with
the project. Such program shall include;

 Safety meetings and safety communications


 Use of accident trends and causal analysis to preclude recurrence of similar
incidents

JOB HAZARD AND RISK ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION

Construction is a dynamic process, it is an ever changing process in physical and


environmental forms until the construction project is completed.

The purpose of a job hazard analysis is to develop a preliminary hazard analysis on work
operations as to their potential for injury, property damage or both. Once potential
hazards have been identified, procedures can be developed to eliminate or mitigate their
potential for occurrence.

Benefits of the job hazard analysis will be;

 Potential for injury or property damages could be prevented and or eliminated.


 Identified hazards could be used as a tool in the foresight of scheduled activities.
 Necessary safety precautions could be planned.
 Job procedures and construction methods could be adjusted or improved.
 Provides training.
 Increases awareness.
It must be made a policy that during the planning stages of each project, activities that
require job hazard analysis are identified. Further work operations requiring job hazard
analysis may be identified during the weekly look ahead or foresighted activities, during
safety meetings or joint Labor-Management safety committee audits/meetings.

The personnel responsible in developing the job hazard analysis for every project are as
follows;

 Project Manager or Designated Representative (usually the project safety engineer)


 Safety Manager
 Project-in-Charge/superintendent
 Foremen/leadmen
 Employee representative

The procedure for the implementation of the safety hazard analysis will be;

 Developing the Job Hazard Analysis.


 Training personnel or employees for the affected activities.
 Establish work procedures and methods.
 Perform the work.

importance that the situation is properly identified and the full extent of the emergency is
addressed. This information is vital, not only to the projects plan of action, but also to
responding personnel and or agencies. Although there will always be a certain amount of
indecision and confusion, the intent is to minimize this as much as possible. The
following guidelines have been developed to cover the basics for most, but not all,
situations. Don't panic, take control of yourself and exercise common sense so that life is
preserved and protected.

An emergency response plan shall be developed in every project for the following
applicable emergencies;

Emergency procedures and actions required shall be included in employee indoctrination


and discussed regularly with supervisory personnel and at toolbox safety meetings.

EMERGENCY PLAN IMPLEMENTATION


Should emergency occur, the most senior supervisor on site shall;

 Immediately secure the area and implement the emergency action plan. According
to the situation, the person in charge will delegate authority and assure the safety of
those responding.

and project safety engineer. The Safety Manager will review the investigation report and
assist as needed.

The project manager will report in writing to the owner. A narrative of the accident
details and what was done or is being done to prevent recurrence. This written report
may be preceded by a telephone call for possible representation of the owner. The
narrative report will include the following information;
