10. A few facts
related to
Infrastructure
Creation :
v The first few weeks on each new
site is the most dangerous.
v Accidents are more frequent at
the end of the day.
v Construction over busy roads.
v Safety helmets, Hi-viz jackets,
safety boots do prevent injury and
death.
v Light weight shoes-such as
trainers or runners are not
suitable at site.
v Idling/Stoppage of worksite make
the worksite vulnerable…

21. Restoration work of Vivekananda Flyover by RVNL
IIT KGP REPORT- DEC 2017
- Poor Contract - Poor Workmanship
- Poor Design - Poor Supervision
- Poor Material

23. Derailment of Santiago de Compostela Train Crash -
Spain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-9OS46P2FA
Few Critical Examples

24. Spain disaster: Train jumps off the tracks on approach to north-western
city of Santiago de Compostela Spain killing 80 Passengers
In Spain there is a provision of refund of 100% fare if the train is late by
more than 5 min. In this case destination was about 5 kms and only 5
min was left to reach platform at destination. European Rail Traffic
Management System (ERTMS) is normally available for High Speed route
to take care of such eventuality. In this case it was about to be provided
in next few days. The conventional system AFSA by Dymetronics was
discontinued only few days back and the new system ERTMS was not in
place. The driver was under pressure to reach destination within the
permitted time and Technology was not there to check and control.
It seems to be Human Error with System Failure.

26. Safety Protocol: Near miss is
equally important

27. Herbert Heinrich showed that for every accident resulting in a fatality or major disabling
injury, there are approximately 300 unsafe incidents. The take-home message is that by
reducing the number of near-misses you also reduce the chance of the fatality occurring,
because you have lowered frequency of at-risk behaviours.

on-site
Most construction sites require at least:
• Hard hat
• Safety Boots
• Hi-viz jacket
• Safety Glasses
• Gloves
Wear them always for your safety

subjected to maximum loads. The ROBO Control System of
M/s Mageba .
• The structural monitoring system issues alarm notification
based on measurements by the on-structure
instrumentation when pre-defined threshold values of
structural loads are passed.

Safe Work Practices

72. Safe Access on Site
v Everyone can get to their place of work safely
v Edges from which people could fall are provided with
double guard rails or other suitable edge protection
v Holes are protected with clearly marked and fixed
covers to prevent falls
v Site is tidy
v Good Lighting
v Fenced off from public
Safe Work Practices

73. Working at Height
Height HAZARDS on Construction Sites
Holes in Floors, Gaps on Working Platforms, Shafts and Stairwells not
Adequately Covered, Barricaded, Fenced Off
v Using ladders or scaffolding without proper fixing
is crazy
v Never use incomplete scaffolding.
v Make sure there are hand rails and toe boards at all
edges
v Things fall on sites, wear your helmet
v Before starting work at heights check for clearance
from any overhead power lines
Height Hazards, Crane Works & Misc.

74. LETHAL LADDERS
v Right for the job. Would scaffolding
or a cherry picker be better?
v In good shape
v Secured near the top
v On a firm base and footing
v Rising at least 1 meter beyond the landing place or that there is
a proper hand hold
Always have a firm grip on the ladder and keep a good
balance
Ladders kill a lot of people.
Make sure the ladder is:-
Height Hazards, Crane Works & Misc.

75. Wearing safety harness correctly brings
confidence…

76. CRANE SAFETY
• The weight of the load must be carefully estimated
• The crane must be fitted with an automatic safe load
indicator (one that works)
• The crane must always work on a hard, level base
• The load must be properly fixed and secured
• The banksman must be trained to give clear signals
• Third party inspection and trials
• Testing and third party inspection of wire rope.
• Checklist
Very Simply :-

78. Traffic Vehicles & Plant
v Vehicles and pedestrians should be kept apart on- site
– separate them as much as possible using barriers
v Adequate clearance around slewing vehicles
v Avoid reversing where possible & use one-way
system
v Vehicles should have reversing alarms/sirens

81. Indian Penal Code (IPC)
Provision in IPC & SHE Manual

82. This document defines the principal requirements of the
Employer on Safety, Health and Environment (SHE)
associated with the contractor / sub-contractor and any other
agency to be practiced at construction worksites at all time.
The SHE targets, goals and aim for the Works are to
achieve:
Ø Zero total recordable injuries.
Ø Zero reportable environmental incidents.
Ø All personnel inducted in accordance with the approved
contractor SHE plan
Ø Total compliance of conducting inspections and audits as
per approved SHE plan
Ø 100% incident recording and reporting
Ø 100% adherence of usage of appropriate PPEs at work.
Ø Executing construction work with least disturbance to the
environment, adjoining road users and traffic.
Provision in IPC & SHE Manual

83. ELECTRICITY
• Treat electricity with respect
• Check constantly that cables are not damaged or
worn
• Keep trailing cables off the ground and away
from water
• Never overload or use makeshift plugs and fuses
Good practice with electricity at site:-
Provision in IPC & SHE Manual

84. For electrical matter and for earthing, take
extra precautions…

85. No job is so important that it cannot be done safely
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE PERSONS
WORKING ON SITE TO PUT THEMSELVES IN
DANGER
BEST - BE Safe Today

86. All have to be careful…
Construction Safety Protocol:

87. Checks…
• Ensuring work permits
• Internal/ External safe audits in regular frequencies
• Checklists throughout the construction phase
• Display safety posters and assurance
• Preparation of audit reports for check
• Indentifying non conformant, non compliance
• Near misses actions which has ability to cause risk
• Legal requirements

88. SAFETY PLEDGE
Make it a habit

89. Watch out for….

90. WE, CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUNG AND OLD
ALL SHOULD FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES AS
DISCUSSED AND TOLD
AFTER THOUGHT.….

91. Safety - a small investment for a
rich future.
Safety can distinguish you. Lack
of safety can extinguish you.

93. Safety comes in cans :
I can, you can, we can.
ALERT TODAY –
ALIVE TOMORROW

94. Quality of Food is important for him. Quality n Safety during
Construction is important for us.
Quality & Safety do not cost extra
Never implement a project unless all resources are available
and quality & safety issues are addressed
