Welfare facilities also include toilet facilities, drinking water facilities.

Toilet facilities

o Toilet facilities to be provided to the workers near the work site.

Washing facilities at suitable positions:

o Hand basins or bowls.o Shower or eye-bath where necessary.

Controlling Risks

To control risks in construction work is a complex task. It is often under-estimated and simply treated as common sense. In order to address the problem effectively, suggests a 5-step approach:

o STEP 1: Look for the hazards,o STEP 2: Decide who might be harmed and how,o STEP 3: Evaluate the risks and decide whether the existing precautions are

adequate or whether more should be done,o STEP 4: Record your findings, ando STEP 5: Review your assessment and revise it if necessary.

Electricity safety

Workers engaged in construction work are frequently exposed to electric currents in various forms electrical installations and tools. In fact, they are exposed to electrical energy in their daily work. Shocks and electrocutions can occur to workers engaged in different types of jobs.

Many workers are unaware of the potential electrical hazards present in their work environment, which makes them even more vulnerable to the danger of electrocution. Others are being too ignorant to believe that electrocution is only too remote because very often they only receive minor electric shock or burns from arcing and flashover.

Many of these workers are experienced electricians. They customarily takeShort-cuts by working on live apparatus without rendering the circuit dead or awaiting permit to work in order to save time.

Page 5 of 12

Electrical injuries in worksites consist of four main types:

o Electrocution (fatal)o Electric shocko Burnso Falls caused by contact with electric current

General precautions

o Prohibit work on new and existing live circuits until all power is shut off and a positive permit to work system is in place.

o Do not use worn electrical cords or cables.o Use only 3-wire double-insulated type electrical tools & extension cords.o Ensure all the electrical tools are inspected with competent person (License

Electrical worker).o Maintain all electrical tools and equipment in safe condition and check regularly

for defects.o Remove broken or damaged tools and equipment from the jobsite.o Protect all temporary power (including extension cords) with circuit protection

device.o Have all electrical work done by a qualified electrician.o Do not overload electric outlets with too many items plugged in at once.o Do not bypass any protection system or device designed to protect employees

from contact with electrical current.o Locate and identify overhead electrical power lines. Make sure that ladders,

scaffolds, equipment or materials never come into close proximity of electrical power lines.

Control electrical hazards through safe work practices. Plan your work and plan for safety.

o Avoid wet working conditions and other dangers.o Use proper wiring and connectors.o Use and maintain tools properly.o Wear suitable personal protective equipment.

Control contact with electrical voltages and control electrical currents to create a safe work environment.

o Prepare a permit-to-work system.o Prevent overloading by using the right type of wiring.o Prevent exposure to live electrical parts by isolation or rendering the circuit dead.o Prevent exposure to live wirings and parts by using insulation.o Prevent shocks by suitable earthing. o Prevent shocks by using suitable earth leakage detection device.o Prevent overloading by using overcurrent protection device.

Improper use of equipment

If electrical equipment is used in ways for which it is not designed, you can no longer depend on the safety features built in by the manufacturer. This may damage your equipment and cause employee injuries.

To avoid the chance of injuries:

o Use only equipment that is approved.o Use all equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.o Do not modify cords or use them incorrectly.

Improper use of extension and flexible cords

The normal wear and tear on extension and flexible cords at your site can loosen or expose wires, creating hazardous conditions. Cords that are not three-wire type, not designed for heavy-duty-usage, or that have been modified, will increase the risk of contacting electrical current.

To avoid the chance of injuries:o Use factory-assembled cord sets.o Use only extension cords that are three-wire type.o Use only extension cords that are designated for the purpose of use, e.g.

weather proof, flameproof, etc.o Provide proper training in handling cords and advise workers never pull the

plugs from receptacles by the cords.o Check all cords on-site before use. Report any cords where signs of wear and

tear or makeshift modifications on any parts are found. Take away all such cords from service immediately

Painting job

During spraying, the solvents and paints in aerosol form may enter the human body by inhalation or skin contact. If it is a toxic/harmful/irritating substance, it will be injurious to health.

Hazards

o Inhalation of paint, lung damage.o Confined area without adequate ventilation.o Skin irritation.o Contamination of clothing.o Eye irritationo Fire.

Page 7 of 12 Control Measures

o Wear a respirator and other PPE.o Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing that covers all exposed skin.o Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water after handling.o Do not wash skin or hands with paint thinner or lacquer thinner, use hand

cleaner.o Wear gloves that are impervious to paint and thinners.o Wear goggles that seal eyes from paint.o Properly store paints that may be combustible.o Properly dispose of dirty rags into airtight containers.o No smoking allowed in or around painting area or paint storage area.o Promptly clean up spills and leaks.o Keep combustibles away from ignition sources.o Keep fire extinguisher near painting operations.o Use fans and natural fresh air (as well as local exhaust ventilation) to displace

contaminated air.o Avoid overcrowding near the painting area.o Establish a spray painting zone with warning signs that restrict access. o Provide fire extinguishers and train workers in their use.

Hand tools

Hand tools and more commonly nowadays, powered tools, are widely used in worksites. However, the standard of tool selection, maintenance, training and work practices vary widely. Injuries and even fatality occur especially when workers or electricians are not working with a suitable safe system of work. Furthermore, accidents often occur when the fundamental precautions are neglected:

General precautions:o Unsafe hand tools should not be used.o The wooden handles of tools should be kept free of cracks.o Electric power operated tools should either be of the approved double-insulated

type and clearly labeled or properly grounded using approved three-wire cord having the ground wire permanently connected to the tool frame as a means for grounding the other end.

o Never overload the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations.o Use double insulated tools, or ensure that the tools are grounded.o All guards should be in place before use.o Do not modify any tool.o Switch off supply immediately after work.o Workers using powder-activated tools must receive proper training prior to their

use.o Wear suitable personal protective equipment

Before commencement of work on each work shift, conduct a risk assessment, if required:

Page 8 of 12

o No broken plugs, sockets, switches, defective leads.o Start and stop switches clearly identified and switchboards secured.o All power tools are in good condition and inspected.o Suitable earth leakage systems installed and tested.o Tools and leads inspected and clearly marked and no cable or wiring tripping

hazards.o Switches/circuits clearly identified.o No work near exposed live electrical equipment.o Permit to work system in place. o Provide appropriate firefighting equipment.

Disposal of building debris/waste/rubbish

Disposal of building debris, waste and rubbish at worksites should be properly managed to prevent unnecessary injuries.

Main cause of injuries:

o Manual handling injuries.o Cuts from sharps.o Slips and trips.o Struck by objects (e.g. tipping of rubbish, fallen building materials caused by poor

housekeeping).

Fire caused by rubbish o Scrap wood or chips, and paper bags or cartons should be removed from the

immediate work area as the work progresses.o All solvent waste and flammable liquids should be kept in fire resistant covered

containers.

Use of personal protective equipment

The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is to combat exposure to hazards when engineering and/or administrative controls are not feasible or effective in reducing these exposures to acceptable levels. It is important to eliminate all workers’ exposures to hazards in their worksites and to determine if PPE should be used to protect them.

Personal protective equipment must only be used as a last resort. It is not a substitute for taking safety measures. A well planned site layout and process control can often eliminate most hazards on worksites.

If Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is to be used, a PPE Program is in place to provide the workers with the necessary information to identify hazardous work situations that require the use of PPE, the proper selection and use of PPE, and documentation of this

Page 9 of 12 information. This information is important to help ensure the safety and health of all workers at the site.

Any worker required to wear PPE shall receive training in the proper use and care of PPE. The training shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following subjects:

o When PPE is necessary to be worn.o What PPE is necessaryo How to properly wear PPE.o The limitations of the PPE.o The proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of the PPE.

After the training, the employees shall demonstrate that they understand the components of the PPE Program and how to use PPE properly, or they shall be retrained.

Written records shall be kept of the names of persons trained, the type of training provided, and the dates when training occurred. The Supervisor shall maintain their employees’ training records at site.

Hazard Assessment:A hazard assessment is a formal means of determining the appropriate PPE selection based on the hazards of a job. When conducting a hazard assessment, a task is investigated and the hazards and the potential hazards associated with the task are determined. This allows selection of personal protective equipment that will protect the employee from the identified hazards.

For each hazard identified, select personal protective equipment that will protect the employee by creating a barrier against workplace hazards. Consider the likelihood of an accident and the seriousness of a potential accident. Personal protective equipment must be selected to protect against any hazard that is likely to occur or has a serious injury impact if it does occur.

During the hazard assessment of each task, inspect the layout of the workplace and look for the following hazardous sources:

o Harmful dust or particulates.o Light radiation, e.g., welding etc.o Sources of falling objects, potential for dropping objects, or rolling objects that

could cause crush or pinch the feet.o Sharp objects that may pierce the feet or cut the hands.o Electrical hazards.o Any other identified potential hazard.

Where these hazards could cause injury to employees, personal protective equipment must be selected to substantially eliminate the injury potential.

Head protection o Workers must wear safety helmets when overhead, falling, or flying hazards

existo Inspect safety helmets routinely for dents, cracks, or deterioration.

Page 10 of 12 o If a safety helmet has been hit by a heavy blow or electrical shock, you must

replace it even when you are unable to detect any visible damage.o Maintain safety helmets in good condition; do not drill; clean with strong

detergents or solvents; paint; or store them in extreme temperatures.

Eye and face protection o Workers must wear safety glasses, goggles or face shields for welding,

cutting, nailing (including pneumatic), or when working with concrete and/or harmful chemicals.

o Eye and face protectors are designed for particular hazards. They should be selected to match the hazard.

o Replace poorly fitted or damaged safety glasses.

Foot protection o Safety shoes should be slip-resistant and have puncture-resistant soles (to

prevent slipping and puncture wounds).o Toe-cap is recommended to prevent crushed toes when working with heavy

rolling equipment or falling objects.

Hand protection o High quality and of suitable material gloves can prevent injury.o Glove size should fit the workers.o Wear the right gloves for the job such as heavy-duty rubber for concrete work,

and welding gloves for welding.

Site management and procedures

In managing the erection/alteration/dismantling process, the safe working methods and practices on site should include the following:

o Preparation and use of a detailed method statement.o Thorough and active contract coordination both on and off siteo Implementation and maintenance of effective communications.o Provision of competent supervisors and skilled workers.o Provision of suitable personal protective equipment.o Preparing the site and the work.o Plans and drawings before work commences.o The need to exclude other personnel from areas when painting work is in progress.o Site inspection to check on the physical conditions, the hazards involved and other

special features.o A suitable place to be provided at the site for storage of materials, tools or

equipment. The storage area to be clearly shown on the site plans. Also, all materials/equipment should be properly arranged and tied, if necessary, to prevent accidental displacement and collapse.

Page 11 of 12 o Documents such as layouts, design drawings and specifications of material /

equipment etc. should be made available to all parties concerned at the site.

Workplace environment

Good housekeeping in a workplace is essential for the health and safety of workers. You are less likely to slip or fall on clean dry floors, or suffer eye strain and headaches in a working environment with adequate lighting.

Assess the risk of workplace environment factors such as cleanliness, temperature, lighting, storage and the availability and location of amenities.

Ways to control hazards

o Keep the workplace clean and tidy, and regularly clean residue from walls, floors and work surfaces.

o Clean spilt water, or paint straight away. o Locate washing, changing and meal areas away from hazards. Keep these areas

clean. o Remove rubbish, boxes and potential hazards from walkways. o Provide a comfortable workplace temperature.
