work, leading to reduced errors and violations. The Targets for improving safety standards will be set, in
accordance with the company’s ‘Zero Accident Philosophy’.

In taking steps to ensure this we shall aim to/for:

a. No Fatality during the execution of project.


b. Eliminate/ Reducing Lost Time Incident and accidents by providing adequate trainings and
develop & implementing the effective control measures.
c. Conduct daily site inspection and reports shall be documented with necessary follow-ups.
d. The Equipments/ Vehicles on sites shall be operated by a trained Operator and all the necessary
inspection/Certification details shall be documented to achieve the Zero vehicle accidents.
e. We are targeting Zero Fire incident by implementing effective housekeeping and basic Fire
fighting training for all work force on the project.
f. Minimize the first aid cases as far as possible by implementing the adequate safety measures on
site, by implementing the effective PPE policy and by necessary trainings.
g. Safety Motivation programs shall be conducted for the effective safety implementation on site.
h. Increase the near miss reporting and there by developing/modifying the risk assessments in
coordination the site work force by contributing their safety points.

Safety in Design
Through safety and environmental analysis, hazards can be uncovered at an early stage and subsequently be
corrected, thus reduce the risk of accidents / incidents.

Furthermore, if the problems or weaknesses related to safety are uncovered during the design phase they
can be corrected, and thus reduce costs compared to the unexpected expenses that arise when such
problems are uncovered during the operational phase.

Evaluation of safety and environmental aspects is therefore an important part of the activities in Project
planning stage.

SECTION 5. EVALUATION AND RISK MANAGEMENT


5.1 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this procedure is to identify the Risk and related hazards, which are associated with the
individual tasks or using tools/ Equipments and state the required control measures to eliminate or reduce
such risks. The risk assessment shall take the form of step by step critical examination of the task, from start
to finish, analyzing each activity, source(s) of hazard and risk level.

This examination will identify the three main elements of risk (i.e. Consequences, Exposure and Probability)
and ascertain if existing controls are adequate or if additional controls need to be enforced.

The following steps identify the Risk Management Process:

a. Identify factors that may be contributing to the risk,


b. Review health and safety information that is reasonably available from an authoritative source
and is relevant to the particular hazard,
c. Evaluate the likelihood of an injury occurring and the likely severity of an injury or illness that
may occur,
d. Identify the actions necessary to eliminate or control the risk; and
e. Identify records that it is necessary to keep to ensure that the risks are eliminate or controlled.
Other risk factors should also be identified as they may contribute to the risk: including
f. The work premises and the working environment, including their layout and condition,
The capability, skill, experience and age of people ordinarily undertaking work,

5.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS


Utico FZC shall establish and maintain the following process:

a. Identify the work related hazards and associated risk.


b. Assessment of associated task risks by evaluating the level of HSE risks / Impacts based on
consequence and likelihood.
c. Determine the control measures from the hierarchy at control (eliminate. substitute, isolate
and/or engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE by selecting the highest order control
method possible and then proceeding down the list in order,
d. Implement the selected suitable control measures effectively.
e. Re-evaluate the residual risks/impacts and ensure they are on ALARP level and Monitor the
effectiveness of the control measures to control the risk and that no other risks have been
introduced.
f. Record and risk assessment results shall be communicated to the staff for the effective
awareness.

g. The Risk Assessment shall be reviewed as required and when the following conditions apply as
applicable;
 Changes of work procedures or practices
 Introducing new plants, equipments, materials or substances
 After incidents/ Accidents (including near misses)
 when applicable legislative obligation change

5.3 IDENTIFICATION OF HSE ASPECTS/HAZARDS AND IMPACTS /RISKS


Utico FZC shall identify the environmental aspects and OH&S hazards for all processes or activities on site. All
inputs and outputs from the process / activity/ Task as well as sub-processes/ Product within the system
shall be cindered. Each aspect/hazard will be examined to determine how it interacts with the Health, Safety
and Environmental Impact/ Risk and such interactions, whether beneficial or adverse, are listed as required.
Based on each activity and its method, associated risk will be assessed and listed. During the Identification,
we shall in consultation with employees identify all potentially hazardous situations which could result in any
person in the workplace being harmed. The hazard identification process requires that:

 The site activities (Including both routine and non routine) of all personnel having access to the
workplace including sub contractors (if any) and visitors
 Past incidents/accidents to be examined to see what happened and whether the incident/accident could
happen again.
 Identify the hazards originating outside the workplace, which can make adversely affects the health and
safety of persons within the workplace.
 Information about equipment (e.g. plant, operating instructions) and Material Safety Data Sheets to be
reviewed and to see what is said about safety precautions.
 Any changes that may have a significant impact/ Risk on existing system.
 Methods for identifying workplace risks and predicting potential damage include a combination of
several activities, which are further described below.
 Hazard Inspections: A planned and formal walk through survey using a simple checklist can identify
sources of hazards on work place.
 Past Records of Injury / incident occurrences and near miss records shall be analysed to identify areas
where problems are more expected.
 Project Team Consultation: The Project execution Team along with the Dept managers (as required) and
technical engineers who knows or involving the work activities or work environment has been sitting
down and using the brainstorming principal & together listing the hazards and risks faced by the scope of
work.
 Product Information: Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Product Labels, Manufacturers and Suppliers
are essential sources of information regarding the hazards associated with chemical substances.

 External Specialists and Expert Judgments: Specialists Consultants from the Industry are a valuable
source of information and may be utilized for critical reviews as Third Party Verifications of proposed
procedures and methodologies (if required).

5.4 EVALUATING & CLASSIFICATION OF HSE ASPECTS/HAZARDS


After the effective identification process, all identified HSE Hazards/aspects, shall be determined whether
such hazards/aspects are Extreme, High, Medium or low risk using the quantitative approach. Risk
assessment will evaluate the identification hazards in terms of level of risk and the degree of existing control
over each element.

The establishment of risk criteria against which risk levels can be compared is fundamental to ranking of risk
exposures and determining priorities for management action. The purpose of risk evaluation is to make
decisions, based on the outcomes of risk analysis, about which risks need treatment and treatment
priorities. Risk evaluation involves comparing the level of risk found during the analysis process with risk
criteria established when the context was considered. The objective of the nominated entity and extent of
opportunity that could result shall be considered. Decision shall take account of the wider context of the risk
and include consideration of the tolerability of the risks borne by parties other than the entity that benefit
from it, for example the community. In some circumstances, the risk evaluation may lead to a decision to
undertake further analysis.

The relative risk score estimated enables definition between those risks that are significant, and those that
are of a lesser nature. This allows a better understanding of latest probable events with high consequence
against the highly probable low consequence events. Having established the comparative risk level
applicable to individual impacts, it is possible to rank those risks. Four risk categories are to be used:
Extreme, High, Moderate, and Low.

The matrix as depicted in Figure (below) facilitates quick reference and assignment of risk levels for each of
the four risk categories (Extra high, High, Medium, and Low). Thus hazards identified during audits,
inspections, reviews, accident/incident investigation, qualitative risk assessment etc. may be assessed using
this matrix.

Residual Risk Matrix

Probability of occurrence
The probability of occurrence shall be estimated as below, which provides likelihood ratings with
descriptions for estimating the likelihood of each occurrence.

Depending upon the magnitude of risks and the potential consequences of hazards, the Risk Assessment
shall be periodically reviewed by competent staff as required. Based on the above "Risk Classification matrix,
the formula can be simplified as;

Risk = Frequency x Consequences.


The associated risks are classified as:
Extreme Risk = 15-25
High risk = 8-12
Moderate Risk = 4-6
Low Risk = 1-3

By considering the above criteria, degree of hazards/impacts can be determined with an appropriate control
measure to each identified hazard. The results of the hazard/aspects identification and risk classification will
be recorded using Hazard Identification/Risk Assessment & Risk Control Format.

Evaluating Control
Risk control options should be evaluated on the basis of the level of risk reduction and the level of benefits
or opportunities created. A number of risk control options may be considered and applied either individually
or in combination.
The general principal is that the adverse impact of risk should be made (ALARP) As Low as Reasonably
Practicable.

SECTION 6. PLANNING, STANDARDS, AND PROCEDURES


6.1 SITE PLANNING AND LAYOUT
A badly planned and untidy site is the underlying cause of many accidents resulting from falls of material
and collisions between workers and plant or equipment. Space constraints, particularly in urban work sites,
are nearly always the biggest limiting factor and a layout, which caters best for the safety and health of
workers, may appear to be difficult to reconcile with productivity. Proper planning by management is an
essential part of preparation and budgeting for the safe and efficient running of a construction operation.
Before work even begins on site, thought needs to be given to:
 The sequence or order in which work will be done and to any especially hazardous operations or
processes.
 Access for workers on and around the site: Routes should be free from obstruction and from exposure
to hazards such as falling materials, materials-handling equipment and vehicles.
 Suitable warning notices should be posted. Edge protection will be required at the edge of floor
openings and stairs, and whenever there is a drop of 2m or more.
 Routes for vehicular traffic: These should be “one way” as far as practicable. Traffic congestion
prejudices the safety of workers from unsafe drivers.
 Storage areas for materials and equipment: materials need to be stored as close as possible to the
appropriate workstation, e.g. sand and gravel close to the cement-batching plant, and timber close to
the joinery shop. If this is not practicable, it is important to schedule the arrival of materials;
 The location of construction machinery: This is usually dependent on operational requirements so that
tower cranes are subject to constraints such as their radius of operation, and pick-up and unloading
points. The objective should be to avoid the need to slew the load over workers.
 The location of trade workshops: These are not usually moved after they are built.
 The location of medical and welfare facilities. On large sites sanitary facilities for both sexes should be
provided at several locations
 Artificial lighting: At places where work continuous or workers pass after dark.
 Arrangements to keep the site tidy and for the collection and removal of waste shall be arranged.
 The need for low-voltage electric power supplies for temporary lighting, portable tools and equipment
 Training needs of workers, supervisors and other staffs.

6.2 IN – BUILT SAFETY MEASURES AND SAFE WORKING PROCEDURES

6.13 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS


An electric shock occurs when a person comes into contact with an electrical energy source. Electrical
energy flows through a portion of the body causing a shock. Exposure to electrical energy may result in no
injury at all or may result in devastating damage or death. The Symptoms of electrical shock is Skin burns,
Numbness, tingling, Weakness, Muscle contraction, Muscular pain, Bone fractures, Headache, Hearing
impairment, Seizures, Heart arrhythmias, Cardiac arrest, Respiratory failure.
Unconsciousness etc

6.14 MATERIAL HANDLING/ STACKING & STORAGE


The most common injuries from manual handling are sprain or strain, often to the back. Sprain and strains
arise from incorrect application of bodily force, poor posture and excessive repetition of movement can be
important factors in their onset. Many manual handling injuries are cumulative rather than being
attributable to any single handling incident. A full recovery is not always made and the result can be
physical impairment or even permanent disability. Hands, arms and feet are also vulnerable and poor
handling can also put excessive stress on the knees.

To prevent injury from oversize loads, workers should seek help in the following:
 When a load is so bulky that employees cannot properly grasp or lift it,

 When employees cannot see around or over a load


 When employees cannot safely handle a load.
Using the following personal protective equipment prevents needless injuries when manually moving
materials:
 Hand and forearm protection, such as gloves, for loads with sharp or rough edges.
 Eye protection.
 Steel-toed safety shoes or boots.
 Metal, fiber, or plastic metatarsal guards to protect the instep area from impact or compression.

Inspection of components of material handling equipment will be carried out as per our checklist &
inspection reports. Method of slinging and calculating load carrying capacity of slings & wire ropes at
various angles will be taken in to consideration before lifting loads. The tools & tackles used for the same
will be checked also day to day basis.

DO'S & DON’TS OF MATERIAL HANDLING


 While shifting materials manually, care should be taken that the rope should not rub against the edge
of any structural members or concrete floors. Materials should be shifted by using suitable size of rope
& pulley.
 Tying of the lifting material should be ensured by a designated person so that the material does not slip
and fall by any chance.
 The persons receiving the material on the platform top should hook their belt to a structure or
preventive measures from falling of the same.
 The area below should be barricaded so that no one enters when the material is lifted.
 While shifting materials through platform openings also the same precautions as stated above should
be taken care.
 While lifting materials by crane suitable size & capacity of sling & D-shackle should be used.
 If any sling or wire rope found damaged that should be cut in to pieces and stacked in the scrap yard.
Damaged slings should not be left anywhere at site as anybody may use it unauthorized and it may lead
to an accident.
 While shifting concrete by concrete bucket or shifting debris/ block or any other materials by a basket
the opening / closing gate should be locked properly otherwise it may open while lifting and materials
may fall down.

SAFE STACKING AND STORAGE PRACTICES


The golden rule for stacking is that no stack should be higher than three times the smallest side of its base.
The only practical way of complying with this rule in many cases where bricks, sacks and other small objects

 to fulfill any legal requirements
 to determine the cost of an accident
 to determine the level compliance with applicable safety regulations
 to process workers' compensation claims

The goal of accident/incident investigations can be summarized in one word prevention. The effective steps
for accident investigation can be summarized below.
 Describe what happened: Through investigation, the Investigator can arrive at site and he can
collect an accurate statement of what really happened.
 Determine the underlying HSE deficiencies and other factors that might be causing or contributing
to the occurrence of incident: Reviewing the immediate cause(s) will eventually lead to the basic
cause(s) of the incident.
 Decide the risks: The investigation can evaluate the loss potential of an incident. i.e. loss severity
potential and probable recurrence rate.
 Develop Controls (corrective actions): Adequate controls (corrective actions) will minimize or
eliminate the problems.
 Identify opportunities for preventive action: adequate investigation will give a chance to identify the
cause and adopt preventive actions for non-occurrence.
 Identify opportunities for continual improvement.
 Demonstrate Management Concern: Prompt and objective investigations along with action to
reduce or eliminate the possibility of recurrence would help to encourage and aid employee
relations.
Proper training and a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities is essential to the investigation
process. All employees and people that will be involved in an incident investigation should be aware of
what their role is in the process and how to perform their assigned responsibilities during an investigation
process.
