This document provides an outline for a supervisor training on construction safety. It discusses the roles and responsibilities of supervisors in accident prevention. Supervisors are responsible for controlling the work environment and activities of their subordinates to eliminate unsafe conditions and acts. Accidents typically arise due to a lack of control at the supervision level. The training covers key construction safety areas, safety auditing, and emphasizes that planning and preparing for safety is essential and must be integrated from the start, not treated as an afterthought. Method statements are an effective tool to plan sequences of activities and identify necessary safety controls.

This presentation makes us to know about The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to occupational hazards.
that we can safety controls the engineering equipments which mainly causes health hazards...!!!!!
which the major categories like
Elimination
Substitution
Engineering controls
Administrative controls
Personal protective equipment.
What is JSA?
A Job Safety Analysis is a task-oriented risk assessment used to review the hazards associated with a particular work task, and to verify that adequate safeguards are in place to control those hazards.
JSAs are known by a variety of terms, including Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Job Risk Assessment (JRA), Task Risk Assessment (TRA), Safe Job Analysis (SJA).
Job Safety Analysis and its Implementation
INVOLVE employees in the development
KEEP written JSA short and simple
ILLUSTRATE safe practices
ASSIGN responsibility of JSA
TRAIN all employees and supervisors
EXPLAIN the use of JSA to employees
IMPLEMENT safe work practices
REVIEW JSA when equipment or process changes or new information becomes available regarding potential hazards associated with the job.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

What are the Project Safety Targets?
Accidents are inevitable consequence of construction
activity
Accident prevention efforts should be directed at the
manual workers who are prone to accidents
Safety is an issue that should be addressed as soon
as construction commences
Please make a comment on the following statements
(Open discussion)

What do you THINK?
Safety is not integral part of the construction
progress, but is something that must be
superimposed upon it.
Method of Statements are good tools for planning
sequence of events, but are useless in terms of
safety
Permit to Work should be handled by Safety Officers
and the Permit Applicants. My only interest is that
they are signed and in my hand.

Safety Philosophy
Safety is a number 1 value
We must complete this job without a fatality or a
permanent disabling injury
People are our most important asset
Result of an accident;
Pain – All injuries hurt
Inconvenience – Personal, Work related
Work Restriction – Replacement may not be easy to find
Financial Loss – Personal, Company

Roles and Responsibilities
The supervisors is the key player in meeting Project
Objectives
He has authority over those resources devoted to the
completion of the work
The Supervisor must control the work
He must ensure that it is carried out in a safe manner; that
the planning of the work includes planning for safety
All equipment required is available – right tools for the right
job, Permit, Work Procedure and JSA are available
Personnel understand the requirements of the procedures
All procedures are followed – short cuts inevitably lead to
accidents; set example
8. 8
Accident Prevention
“Accident Prevention” suggest that accidents are
lurking around the corner
Needs a more positive stance;
Accidents are not inevitable consequences of an
operation
Accidents arise from an unhealthy interaction of a
number of factors (people, materials, environment,
equipment)
Virtually all are controllable
Management/Supervisor has the greatest degree of
control
9. 9
Accident Prevention
Exertion of this control at
the earliest opportunity
will eliminate or minimize
the effect of Accident
“But I’m not the guy
having the accidents. It is
my steel erectors and
laborers that you should
be talking to. They’re the
ones that can get hurt.
Focus your efforts on
them. They are the people
who can stop accidents”.
Disagree!! Remind
yourselves of the definition
of “Supervisors”.
“ Somebody who has
effective control over the
work activities of theirs
subordinates”
Emphasis on CONTROL
By failing to exercise this
control, or by exercising it
incorrectly, supervision is
contributing to, and indeed,
causing accidents!
10. 10
Accident Prevention
To be able to control, supervisor’s must identify in
advance what needs to control
Accidents are immediately caused by;
Unsafe acts (Somebody walking across a steel beam),
or
Unsafe conditions (An unprotected excavation), or
A combination of both
The injured persons all work under supervision
i.e. They are persons who SHOULD all be under the
effective control of a supervisor
It is a lack of effective control that puts that person into
an environment where he is exposed to hazards
It is a lack of effective control that allows person to
carry out an unsafe act
11. 11
Accident Prevention
Use our failures (i.e. Accidents) to identify where to
direct our efforts in order to improve our performance
So how are accidents caused?
“Peel back the Onion”: Delve into the layers/ levels
of causation that give rise to the accident
The levels occupied by activities/ omissions of
supervisions/ management are invariably the most
influential.
The removal of the cause at these levels/ layers
would remove the accidents
12. 12
Accident Prevention
Sample Incident from a Project;
• Mr. Dee a worker, tripped on
redundant stacked scaffolding
materials
• He was trying to find somewhere to
wash his tools
• It was dark
• There was no lighting provided
• Mr. Dee fell into cable trench
• He suffered serious injury.
13. 13
Accident Prevention
Why?
Injured because - Fell down in cable trench - Why?
Because - Tripped over scaffolding materials- Why?
Because - He did not see the scaffolding - Why?
Because - There was no lighting provided - Why?
Because - Supervisor had not requested any lighting
14. 14
Accident Prevention
Or,
Injured because - Fell down in cable trench - Why?
Because - Tripped over scaffolding materials- Why?
Because - Visiting cable trench to wash tools - Why?
Because - No other facilities to wash tools - Why?
Because - Normal washing facility had not been filled
up with water - Why?
Because - Supervisor had failed to checked/ allocate
responsibility to someone to replenish water supplies
15. 15
Accident Prevention
Each chain of causation illustrates a failure by the
supervisor to exercise control over the work environment.
The removal of any link within the chain of causation,
maintains the safety of the situation prior to the work activity
Most effective way is to remove the earliest link in the chain
Leaves less to chance, and relies less on individuals’
behavior
This is important, since we are invariably dealing with
workers that may be:
a) Unskilled in their trade
b) Inexperienced in the construction industry
c) Migrant
(a) + (b) + (c) = Unpredictable Behavior
16. 16
Accident Prevention
YOU as Supervisor must direct efforts in ensuring a safe
working environment that either,
1. Eliminates the opportunity for workers to carry out unsafe acts
e.g. Providing ladder access, providing a scaffold platform
or
2. Minimize the consequences of an unsafe act e.g. Providing fire
extinguishers, providing safety harnesses
You extend these controls beyond conditions to cover unsafe
acts
Change behavior by instruction, example, disciplinary action
etc
YOU are thereby undertaking your supervisory responsibilities,
by effectively controlling the activities and environment.
YOU ARE DOING YOUR JOB!
17. 17
Key Construction Safety Areas
• To plan and complete
activities safely, you must
have an awareness of
what actually constitutes a
hazard.
• Use your resources!
HSE Handbook
Contract document
HSE Section
18. 18
Key Construction Safety Areas
Safe Access & Egress
• Common areas used by many
• Essential in time of emergency
• Secured ladders, steps with handrails
• NOT : Cable tray/ ladder racking
• NOT : Outside of scaffold
Working Platforms
• Fall Protection is the last line of defense
• Secure, with double handrails
• Scaffolding: Minimum width 3 boards, handrails, toe-boards, etc
• NOT : Single boards spanning pipe work
• NOT : Unprotected beams
• NOT : Pipe work
• Consider other methods, Man-lifts, man-basket
19. 19
Key Construction Safety Areas
Lifting Activities
• Extremely high loss potential
• Crane and operator checks
• Setting up of crane
• Lifting equipment; shackles, slings, hooks
Personal Protective Equipment
• The “Norm” - Boots, Helmet, Spectacles
• Specialist - Goggles, dust masks, gloves, safety
harness, etc
Electrical
• Extremely high loss potential
• Industrial fittings and fully insulated
• Earth circuit breakers
• Grounding rods
20. 20
Key Construction Safety Areas
Fire Prevention
• Critical in view of location and potential consequences
• Fire extinguishers
• Fire blanket
• Fire watchers
• Presence of Flammables materials
• Flashback arrester
Correct Tools and Equipment
• Mushroomed heads
• Split shafts
• Poorly maintained
• Rebar seen as an “all purpose” tool
21. 21
Safety Auditing
Essential ingredient of the Safety Program
Provides dedicated and concentrated focus on safety
Highlights problem areas and measures behavior
Safety auditing part of the job - All the time
Need to be observant - Take time to see the whole
picture
Whole picture includes workers as well as work area
Project Multi-tiered approach
What you see is not always the whole picture
- Hidden problems i.e. Permit Violations, Peoples’
lack of knowledge
22. 22
The Audit
Remember the objectives :
- To identify problems and PREVENT
RECCURRENCE
- A group exercise - Client/ Contractor/ Subcontractor
- Identify the safety violations
- Correct immediately any potential hazards
- Allocate responsibility for correction of others hazards
- Follow up is critical
23. 23
Safety Auditing
Who should participate?
• Supervisors must be involved (Managers, safety
officers, workers etc)
• They must be accountable for Safety
• Choose a geographical area/ subject
• Allocate a time
• Record what you find
• Allocate actions in writing
• Put problems right immediately
• Monitor trends and use as basis for development
of safety program
24. 24
Planning: The Key to Safety Execution
Safety : “A time consuming restriction that is placed on
the performance of the work activity, once that activity
has commenced”.
Disagree : Safety is an integral part of any activity, and
must be engineered into the method by which that activity
is to be carried out, at the planning stage.
Safety is not an after thought ; it is not a “bolt on”
Must be addressed throughout the 5 key phases of an
activity:
• Planning
• Preparation
• Implementation
• Evaluation
• Demobilization
These are the “5 Steps to Safety”.
25. 25
Planning: The Key to Safety Execution
The foundation of the “5 Steps to Safety” is Planning
Is at the heart of quality performance. Quality in this
sense, includes safety
Planning entrails the timely identification of all
aspects of the work activity (cost, safety, progress,
specifications etc), and results in the production of a
method of carrying out this work which
accommodates all areas of Safety.
You are all aware of the value accredited to safety
on this Project.
26. 26
Planning: The Key to Safety Execution
An effective and widely used way of doing this, is the
development of a Method Statement
Develop a sequence of activities, and establish
whether or not there are any hazards that arise from
their execution, within the particular environment.
Based on this, compile a list of measures that need
to be taken to ensure that these hazards are
controlled
Most engineering construction tasks are
combinations of a number of familiar regular
activities, the control of which are well known to most
of us.
27. 27
Planning: The Key to Safety Execution
Hot Work
• Fire hoses/ extinguishers, fire blankets, fire
watcher etc
Lifting
• Tag lines, clear lifting area, correct set up of
crane
Excavation
• Access, Shoring/ Stepping/ Battering Back
Vessel Inspection
• Isolation, Standby man, gas test, safety harness
etc…
28. 28
Planning: The Key to Safety Execution
The sequence, interaction and location of these activities
within certain environments, may give rise to additional
safety measures e.g. Hot work within a confined space
may require continual gas monitoring, the use of
extractors etc…
Once you have established the requirements for
undertaking the task, without comprising safety, you
should then consult the Client HSE Department
Once agreed, you have a document that outlines your
sequence of activities, and the resources (equipment,
labor) required to complete them.
The document can then be used at both the planning and
the implementation stage;
Recite to workers to familiarize themselves with task and
execution Keep at workface to act as consultative
document for all parties
29. 29
“And the end is that the workman shall live to enjoy
the fruit of his labor;
That his wife shall not be untimely a widow;
That his children shall have a father, and that
cripples and hopeless workers who were once
strong men, shall no longer be a by-product of
industry” .
