S/N Observations: Risk

Rating

1 Area1, 4 & 7: M

- Working MEWP’s found holds plant certification of 1 year contrary to QCS

- No exclusion zone below the working spider man riding basket (MEWP).
Action Taken.
- Hot work station in poor condition + found out permit to work is filled out with
wrong information, no spot check being carried out + no fire watcher
present. Action Taken.

Refer to photographs A, B.

Remedy:

- JV to contact the MEWP supplier and present the local regulation stipulated
on QSC 2014. They need to re-test the plant which holds 1 year validity to
conform to the legal requirement.
- JV to ensure before commencing MEWP into operation – working radius
shall be demarcated with orange mesh or physical barrier – to prevent any
unauthorized access.
- JV to re-train person how fill out the hot work correctly + no hot work will be
issue unless physical inspection is being done upon satisfactory by the
issuer – safe system in place.

2 Area 2A, 5A: M

- Permanent protection – cables and wires on floor.

- Unsafe use of scaffolding tower observed.
- Housekeeping issue found blocking off the staircase with mixed waste.
Action Taken.

Refer to Photographs C, D.
 HSE Findings

Remedy:

- JV Engineers/supervisor and others has a duty of care to protect permanent

finishes from getting damage.
- JV to re-instate the tower to its working standard or use podium to low level
ceiling.
- JV to make clear all access staircases in any way and all times.

3. Area 7A & 8A. M

- 3 no. operatives working unsafely in related to cable pulling e.g. low level
mobile tower + no induction and supervision.
- Working on a ladder unsafely.

4. Area 2, 5 and Phase 1 logistic/External: M

- Housekeeping issue e.g. formworks at hoarding fence + redundant material

along way of parapet MSCP roof.
- Travelling cherry picker (MEWP) on a busy area mixed up with pedestrians
without present of flagman.
- Operatives were unsafely positioned closed to operational breaking
excavator at risk of ejecting debris/stuck by machine.
- Suspended load over the team of rebar ignoring the whistle of rigger.
- Missing edge protection in some area of slab retention tank. Action Taken.
- Reversing water lorry into restricted area without present of flagman.
- Spider MEWP without exclusion zone + untidy workplace.
- Roof staircases to update signage blocking access and alternative
directional arrows as these staircases are primarily planned as escape
routes. Action Taken.
Refer to Photographs G, H, I, J, K, L.
Remedy:

- JV to clear off materials at parapet wall roof to allow wider space for traffic.
- JV to ensure no operator shall travel alone without the assistance of flagman
guiding vehicle especially on mixed pedestrians or constraint location.
- JV to conduct safety stand down to the team ref. to men machine interface.
- JV to re-brief the steel fixer group not to ignore rigger instructions/signal
during lifting – never work or pass under the load.
- JV to coordinate with the logistic team in related to closure of staircases and
helps to plan alternative routes putting directional signage.

5 Area 3A, 4A: M

- Damaged and delaminated ply woods covering/protection under high

voltage cables.
- Urinals cubicles provided at roof not being maintained cleaning and
disinfectants.
- Redundant materials + trailing extension leads. Action Taken.
- Missing exclusion zone below block laying wall. Action Taken.
- Unsafe use of low level railing mobile scaffold. Action Taken.
Refer to Photographs L, M, N.
Remedy:
- JV to replace protection of cable with more durable materials and made of

- JV to confiscate and condemn any makeshift equipment or devices + need
to communicated to team during DSTI.
- JV to apply lime power to clean removing foul-odor. Security personnel
assigned on mall shall continuously patrolling esp. at BOH and staircases.
Anyone will be caught shall immediately be terminated from site.
- JV to establish coordination to stone laying team before closing section of
floor/s to develop plans providing alternative access and arrow signage.
- JV to randomly check power tools that was being used + end user never to
modified or made alteration if not authorized to do so. Never operate rotating
