Checklist for construction industry safetyStephen Au
Traditional safety supervisor has a long checklist recorded by hand with photo taken on daily and weekly basis. It took them huge amount of reporting work load after site inspection. Under these heavy duty, the report will become not comprehensive and in details. Also it is not easy drawn to the attention of the site agent immediately.
What if by using mobile apps – Checklists, the safety supervisor record the safety issues with photo taking marking in the construction plan via the mobile phone or tablet. Then a comprehensive report is generated automatically and sends to the site agent for follow up action immediately. Next day the safety supervisor go back to the site to investigate if corrective action is done or the site agent send back the photo via Aproplan or Checklists to verify the required action is taken. Under these circumstances, the construction accidents will be greatly reduced.

INTRODUCTION
A major focus for security management is the concept of risk. Subjective information as well as objective measurement instruments (such as a security survey) are used in an essential first step of a planning process designed to identify and assess the threat posed by each risk source. As the planning process proceeds, security personnel make recommendations and determine the financial impact of any potential risk mitigation strategy. Planning activities also involve preparation for emergency situations and consideration of anticrime measures available through environmental manipulation.
THE CONCEPT OF RISK
Risk Defined
Risk may be defined as the possibility of suffering harm or loss, exposure to the probability of loss or damage, an element of uncertainty, or the possibility that results of an action may not be consistent with the planned or expected outcomes. A decision maker evaluates risk conditions to predict or estimate the likelihood of certain outcomes. From a security perspective, risk management is defined as the process involved in the anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of a risk and the initiation of action to eliminate the risk entirely or reduce the threat of harm to an acceptable level. A risk involves a known or foreseeable threat to an organization’s assets: people, property, information, or reputation. Risk cannot be totally eliminated. However, effective loss prevention programs can reduce risk and its impact to the lowest possible level. An effective risk management program can maximize asset protection while minimizing protection costs (Fay, 2000; Fischer & Janoski, 2000; Kovacich & Halibozek, 2003; Robbins & Coulter, 2009; Simonsen, 1998; Sweet, 2006).
Types of Risk
Generally, risk is associated with natural phenomena or threats created by human agents. Natural risks arise from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and storms. Risks created by human beings include acts or failures to act that lead to crime, accidents, or environmental disaster. As many as five distinct types of risk threaten individuals a ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Guidance for Filming Risk Assessments
1.1 Risk Assessment
Please remember that organisers of events have a legal responsibility to ensure the Health, Safety and Welfare of any employees,
volunteer helpers or contractors involved in arranging the event and to the public and participants attending, carrying out a detailed risk
assessment should ensure this. All hazards associated with the event should be identified, the level of risk assessed and appropriate
action taken to reduce these risks to an acceptable level. All events must comply with recognised safety standards and you must take all
reasonable precautions to ensure the event takes place safely.
A formal record should be kept of the risk assessments. A simple guidance note and an example form are provided with this pack.
Completed forms should be retained for future reference.
Where the event consists of more than one attraction e.g. a summer fete a written risk assessment may be required for each activity. In
these circumstances, the enclosed risk assessment form can be photocopied.
Any contractors involved in the event should also carry out risk assessments. Where relevant, you should obtain copies of these.
More information regarding risk assessments can be obtained from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) publications at HSE
information Centre, Broad Lane, Sheffield, S3 7HQ. Tel: 01787 881165.
In addition the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) will apply to such events and will require the Responsible Person to
carry out a risk assessment concerning fire safety, which can be carried out along side the health and safety risk assessment.
Full details are available on;
http://www.fire.gov.uk/Workplace+safety/
1.2 Guidance Notes
As the organiser of an event you have legal responsibilities to ensure the health, safety and welfare of any employees, volunteers, and
contractors involved in arranging the event; and of the public and participants attending. All events must comply with recognised safety
standards and you must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the event takes place safely.
The event organiser’s best tool for determining potential hazards connected to their event is a risk assessment. A full risk assessment
must be carried out for all events. A risk assessment needs to identify the activities, which make up an event and the hazards that are
associated with each activity, together with a risk rating.
3. Any contractors involved in your event must also carry out risk assessments. Accordingly, if you are employing contractors/other
organisations it is your duty to ensure that you obtain copies of the risk assessments.
The following guidance should aid you in carrying out your risk assessments. Please also see the example form, which provides detailed
examples of some event components. The paragraph numbers below relate to the headings on the Event Risk Assessment Form for
ease of reference.
1.3 Identifying the Activity / Area of Concern
An activity is anything which is taking place as part of your event, i.e.: stalls, face painting, fairground rides, car boot sale, staged events,
music, dancing, sports activities, fireworks, laser show, parade, marquee/tent, food, alcoholic refreshment, etc. In addition, within the
activities column you must also include the provisions you must make to enable the activities to take place safely, i.e.: first aid,
stewarding/security, crowd management, car parking, site fencing/barriers, fire precautions and equipment, potential major incidents,
evacuation procedure (due to emergency or inclement weather), stages/marquees/temporary structures, waste
collection/handling/disposal, cash collection and signage. Please note that these lists are not exhaustive.
All activities must be clearly identified on the event/site layout plan you submit.
1.4 Identifying the hazards
All hazards must be identified for each activity. A hazard is something with the potential to cause harm, i.e.: slipping/tripping/falling
hazards, hazards relating to fire risks or fire evacuation procedures, any chemicals/fumes/substances hazardous to health, moving
parts of machinery, vehicle movement, electrical safety including use of portable electrical appliances, lifting/carrying/moving, high
noise levels, poor lighting/heating/ventilation, any possible hazard from specific demonstrations/activities, crowd intensity and pinch
points – i.e.: areas where there is restricted access/exit for the amount of people.
This list is not exhaustive and care should be taken to identify any other hazards associated with the specific activities within the event.
1.5 Identifying the persons at risk
For each hazard identified, list all those who may be affected. Do not list individuals by name, just list groups of people, i.e.: stewards,
employees, volunteers, contractors, vendors/exhibitors/performers, members of the public, people with disabilities, children/elderly
people, expectant mothers and local residents. This list is not exhaustive.
1.6 Identifying the current risk factor
Risk is the chance that someone will be harmed by the hazard. The extent of the risk arising from the hazards identified must be
evaluated, i.e.: high, medium or low, and actions then taken to minimize the risk. You should be taking into account any information,
4. instruction and training regarding the event and the activities involved; and compliance with legislative standards, codes of good practice
and British Standards. Examples of risks and their categories are as follows:
High An inflatable bouncy castle which is not tied down being used in adverse weather conditions by young children; or a
fairground chair ride without sufficient safe space around it.
Medium Face painting being undertaken without the knowledge of children’s allergies.
Low A mime artist performing amongst the crowd.
For each risk consider whether or not it can be eliminated completely. If it cannot, then decide what must be done to reduce it to as
low a risk as far as is reasonably practicable an.
1.7 Identifying the actions to be taken to minimize each risk
All identified risks can be minimized by taking appropriate action. i.e.: preventing access to the hazard by enclosure/segregation,
safe-working procedures, adequate
Signage/training/instruction, find a substitute for that activity/machine etc, provide welfare facilities for removal of contamination/first aid,
removal of the hazard, etc. Personal Protective equipment should be considered as a last resort. This list is not exhaustive.
For the examples listed in 4 above, action taken to minimize the risk could be to secure the inflatable with guy ropes; supply
sufficient barrier-ed space around the fair ride; ask parents/guardians regarding allergies; supervise the mime artist.
1.8 Identifying the New Risk Factor
Once you have identified the action to be taken as per 5, insert the appropriate new High, Medium or Low risk rating.
1.9 Review and Revise
Please remember that if the nature of the activities or hazards change during the planning of the event, the risk assessment will need to
be reviewed and updated.
Finally, please print your name, sign and date the form.
