2. What is construction?
 Construction is simply
a complex and flexible
process.
 Because its complexity,
risks and hazards
should be taken in
consideration through
the planning and during
the construction must
be predictable.

3. What is hazards and risks in construction?
 Risk is the probability that an
 Hazard is a factor or exposure that may
event will occur, that an individual
adversely affect health; anything that
will become ill or die within a
has the potential to cause harm.
stated period of time or age.

4. Causes of chaos during construction in
kyrenia/north Cyprus:
 Short construction time.
 Budget.
 resource (PPE)
 hazard effect.
 standard implementation.
 lack of preparing training.
 regulation observation.
 feedback report.
missing safety during performing job In kyrenia/north Cyprus

5.  Short construction time
 The pressure of supervisor on the
worker in order to perform their
job before the end of the job.
 While applying some safety
standards i.e. work at height
standards before the working the
worker should prepare risk
assessments which is take time.
Missing guiderail and surrounding the fall zone

6.  Budget
 While provides the work site
with the safety equipment that
make the contractor
uncomfortable about the
budget.
 Preparing the workers with
safety equipment i.e. Gloves,
safety shoes, helmet, vest ,etc.

7.  resource (PPE)
 Lack of safety
preschedule by the
contractor or manager.
 For example many
equipment don’t have
certificate to complying
with safety work or miss

the workers to get a
safety indication or they
don’t organize to study

the hazard of the
working zone.

8.  hazard effect
 Many engineers don’t
consider the effect of hazards
before starting or take it
within his/her schedule job.
 The predication of hazard
should take like: falling zone
should be isolated, and guide
rail should be available.
Missing guiderail and surrounding the fall zone

9.  standard implementation
 Lacking a clear job safety
standard.
 At least the most causes
increasing ratio of fatal or
incident due to don’t apply
safety which should be
available. Work at height,
mobility equipment, and
energy isolation.

10.  lack of preparing training
 Regular safety training,
introducing safety induction,
produce a qualify worker
regarding to OSHA …etc. all these
activity lacking. With no
supporting by worker
organization, worker union and
ministry of industrial
 Worker before performing
his/her job should be aware at
least the safety mandatory, fire
extinguish, first aid and symbol missing personal protective equipment while performing job.
of safety (caution).

11.  regulation observation
 Monitoring the project by the
consultant limited for leveling
the constructed project with
neglecting the safety
requirement and existing.
 The monitor don’t mention the
worker awareness toward
safety.

12.  feedback report
 Weekly safety message regular
report, incident analysis,
updating safety standard
regular (by consultant) all these
related with reporting and
communicating.
 In construction project the
supervisor engineer and the
project manager must provide
weekly or monthly report
about the task of the project
and activity in both
construction and safety issue.

13. What is OSHA?
 occupational safety and health
administration which is the
Standards that the laws in
occupational safety and health
act of 1970 create it.
 These standards provide the
right and responsibility for both
employers and workers.
 Inform employee about chemical
hazards through training, labels,
alarms, color-coded systems,
chemical information sheets and Occupational
other methods, notify OSHA
within 8 hours of a workplace safety and

administration

14. Site specific issues:
 Personal protection
equipment (PPE).
 Work at height.
 Mobile equipment.
 Safety induction.
 Risk assessment.
Construction site in kyrenia/ north Cyprus

15.  Personal protection equipment (PPE)
The working conditions in construction are in most
cases such that
 Head protection: Falling objects, overhead loads and
sharp projections are to be found everywhere on
construction sites. Safety helmets protect the head
effectively against most of these hazards.
 Foot protection: Foot injuries fall into two broad types:
those due to penetration of the sole by nails which have
not been knocked down or removed, and those due to
crushing by falling materials, which can be minimized by
wearing protective footwear.
 Hand and skin protection: Hands are extremely
vulnerable to accidental injury, and in construction more
injuries are caused to hands and wrists than to any other
part of the body. They are largely preventable by better
manual handling techniques and equipment, and by
wearing suitable hand protection such as protective gloves
and gauntlets.
 Eye protection: In industry many eye injuries occur as a
result of flying material, dust or radiation when breaking,
cutting, drilling, dressing or laying of stone, concrete and
brickwork with hand or power tools.

16.  Work at height
As part of the Regulations, duty
holders must ensure:
 all work at height is properly
planned and organized;
 those involved in work at height
are competent;
 the risks from work at height are
assessed and appropriate work
equipment is selected and used;
 the risks from fragile surfaces are Work at height in kyrenia with missing all the conditions
properly controlled; and
 equipment for work at height is
properly inspected and
maintained.

17.  Mobile equipment
 Many symbols and sign should be
available in the work site in order to
Pedestrian, worker, and project parties
safety.
 Safe for procedure i.e. the operator of
any vehicle must know the organize
guide sign and the specified vehicle
path.

18.  Safety induction
It’s a glance of safety visions and roles to
enhance the worker realization about:
 Understanding hazard and risk.
 Assessing the risk.
 Controlling the risk and hazard.
 Learning first aid.
 Procedure of fire extinguishment.

19.  Risk assessment
General risk assessment mean :
 Identify the hazard sources and
classify the energy type. i.e. potential
power
 Studding the effect.
 Measure the level of the hazard.
 Applying a corrective action.
 Finding out the risk residual after
implementing a correction factor(if its
still medium or high it should recreate
new satisficed corrective action

20. Conclusion:
Providing safety and health in the site will
lead to:
 Systematic work
 Increase safety awareness lead to
produce qualify workers
 Expanded rigid data
 Increasing reliability factor
