2. INTRODUCTION
▪ Construction :
clearing, dredging, excavating, and grading of land and other activity associated
with buildings, structures, or other types of real property such as bridges, dams,
roads.
▪ Hazard :
source or condition that cause harm in terms of damage to property, fatality,
damage to the environment, etc.
5. IDENTIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES THAT
MAY CAUSE RISKS
▪ Scaffolding
▪ Concreting
▪ Formwork
▪ Use of ladder
▪ Working at height
▪ Excavation
▪ Piling work
▪ Welding
▪ Lifting equipment
▪ Driving
▪ Loading and unloading
6. Trench
collapses Never enter an
unprotected trench
Always provide a way to exit a trench
such as a ladder, stairway or ramp no
more than 25 feet of lateral travel
for employees in the trench.
7. Crane
Swing Radius
Do not move a load over workers.
Barricade accessible areas
within the crane's swing radius
8. Overturned
Forklift
Train and certify all operators to
ensure that they operate forklifts
safely.
Examine forklift truck for defects
before using.
9. Falls (from
heights)
Consider using aerial lifts or
elevated platforms to provide safer
elevated working surfaces
Cover floor holes
10. Electric shock
An effective Lockout/ Tagout
system is in place
All extension cords have
grounding prongs.
Multiple plug adapters are
prohibited.
11. Falling & Flying
objects. Wear proper PPE, Secure all
loads, tools and materials, Use toe
boards, Use debris nets, catch
platforms or canopies.
Avoid walking or working below
overhead moving objects, such as
concrete buckets.
12. Noise
• using simple ear plugs.
• Employers are required to carry
out and document a comprehensive
noise risk assessment and issue
appropriate PPE
14. Horseplay
Often Monitoring is
recommended by Supervisor.
Awareness training need to be
conducted in order to reduce any
incidences.
15. Inhalation of dangerous
(hazardous) gases
& vapors.
Using Passive badge gas/vapor
sample, Multi or single gas/vapor
detector, Sampling Tubes, Detector
Tubes to Detects different gases and
vapors and as a survey tool to
determine if a substance is
present or not.
16. PROVISION OF PPE IN CONSTRUCTION
▪ Respiratory protection - mask
▪ Eye protection - glasses
▪ Ear protection - ear plug, ear muff
▪ Face protection - face shield
▪ Head protection - hard hat
▪ Hand protection - gloves
▪ Foot protection - safety shoes
▪ Body protection - jackets
▪ Fall protection - belts, safety harness
17. CASE STUDY
KL ECO CITY MIDVALLEY BRIDGE COLLAPSE
Abdullah Hukum project site.
18.
19. ▪ KUALA LUMPUR: A construction worker had to have his
leg amputated at the scene of the pedestrian bridge
collapse at KL Eco City near Mid Valley Megamall
▪ It is learnt that the worker, identified as 23-year old Rais
Anjum from Pakistan, found himself trapped when the
under-construction bridge collapsed at 3.30pm.
▪ A fellow construction worker, also a Pakistani, told the
New Straits Times that Rais was driving a forklift at the
time of the incident.
20. ▪ Rais tried to escape but could not make it out on
time.
▪ When the structure collapsed, Rais became trapped,
with his legs pinned under the rubble, as well as in
between the wreckage of the forklift.
▪ “He was pinned there for about four hours. As the
debris was too heavy to move and Rais had lost a lot
of blood by then, paramedics had to act fast.
▪ “They were left with little choice but to amputate his
legs in order to save his life,” said the worker.
21. ▪ The worker said they were told of the development by one of their
supervisors, who had been briefed by the medical team.
▪ He said when news came in that Rais had to have his legs amputated,
some of the workers broke down in tears.
▪ “It is cruel that he had to lose his legs, but at least he is safe,” said the
worker.
▪ It is learnt that workers were having their lunch break and were
seated under the bridge when the tragedy occurred.
▪ One person died in the incident, while five victims are being treated
at the UMMC.
▪ Two are in critical condition, and the rest stable.
