04 Smoking during work in an undesignated
area
During a routine construction site visit, it
was observed a worker, [Worker's Name],
engaging in smoking activities in an
undesignated area. This observation raises
concerns regarding potential safety hazards
and non-compliance with established
safety protocols on the construction site.
Violation of Smoking Policy:
The construction site has clearly designated
smoking areas to ensure the safety of all
workers. Smoking in undesignated areas
poses a risk to both the individual involved
and other workers in the vicinity.
Worker was informed immediately to
cease smoking in undesignated areas and
reminded of the established smoking
policy.

generator. Specifically, it was noted that
the generator was found without a safety
Cover at the motor area. This deficiency
poses a potential risk of unauthorized
access and exposes personnel on the
construction site to the danger of moving
parts within the generator.
Potential Hazards and Risks:
Lack of a safety cap increases the risk of
unauthorized access, potentially leading to
injuries caused by contact with moving
parts and other internal components.
Isolate the generator immediately and
restrict access to the area to prevent
exposure to the potential hazard.

Absence of Signages:
No clear and visible signages have been
installed in the waste storage area to guide
workers on the correct segregation and
disposal procedures.
Safety Risks:
The absence of waste segregation and
clear signage poses significant safety risks
to workers and other personnel on the
construction site. Unsegregated waste may
contain hazardous materials, increasing the
likelihood of accidents, injuries, or
exposure to potentially harmful substances.
Environmental Impact:
Improper handling and storage of
construction waste have potential adverse
environmental consequences.

of the workers' restroom area. The bundles
are situated within the immediate vicinity
of the restroom.
Tripping Hazards:
Placing bundles of curb stones near the
restroom entrance poses a significant
tripping hazard for workers accessing or
leaving the restroom.
Limited Accessibility:
The presence of curb stones obstructs the
smooth accessibility and egress of workers
to and from the restroom facility. In the
event of an emergency, such as a fire
evacuation, the obstruction could impede a
quick and safe exit.
Hygiene Concerns:
The proximity of construction materials to
the restroom area raises concerns about
hygiene and sanitation. Dust, debris, or
other contaminants from the curb stones
may affect the cleanliness of the restroom
facility.
Designated Storage Areas:

contamination, and there was no visible
fire extinguisher
During a site visit on [11-01-2024], a safety
concern was observed regarding the use of
a jackhammer by workers. The power
supply for the jackhammer was sourced
from a generator, and it was noted that the
generator exhibited signs of leakage.
Furthermore, there was no dip tray in place
to prevent soil contamination, and there
was no visible fire extinguisher to handle
potential fire incidents.
Consequences and Potential Hazards:
Leaking Generator Fluids:
The leakage from the generator poses a
risk of soil contamination, leading to
environmental hazards and potential health
risks for workers and the surrounding area.
Fire Hazard:
In the absence of a fire extinguisher, the
site is vulnerable to fire incidents. The use
of power tools and generators increases
the likelihood of sparks or electrical
malfunctions that could result in a fire
and the jackhammer to conduct a
thorough inspection of the generator for
leaks.
Installation of Dip Tray:
Install a dip tray beneath the generator
to capture any potential leaks and
prevent soil contamination. Ensure that
the dip tray is of sufficient size.
Fire Extinguisher Placement:
Provide a visible and easily accessible
fire extinguisher in the proximity of the
generator and the jackhammer.

During a routine site visit on [12-01-2024],
it was observed a safety concern that
requires immediate attention. In the first
aid box storage box, a diesel canister was
found. This constitutes a serious safety
violation that needs to be addressed
promptly.
Hazards and Risks:
Chemical Contamination:
Storing a diesel can in the first aid box
poses a risk of chemical contamination.
Health Risks:
The diesel canister must be immediately
removed from the first aid box to
eliminate the risk of chemical
contamination and ensure the availability
of uncontaminated first aid supplies.
