Safety is of paramount importance in the construction industry, particularly when it comes to the use of machinery and equipment. Construction sites are inherently hazardous environments, and the improper use of machinery can result in severe injuries, property damage, and even loss of life. This presentation aims to emphasize the significance of safety practices and provide essential guidelines for ensuring the safe use of construction machinery and equipment.

3. INTRODUCTION
The civil engineering industry is one of the biggest industry in modern
times.
It is also an industry where extensive use of labor is required and where
such large amount of human 6 is involve a matter of safety arises. In India
safety in construction is not a serious issue and is neglected quite often.
For proper development and growth of economy, apart from rapid
industrialization, a stable and productive work force is a must. To build a
productive work force it is essential that managements strive to meet the
worker’s social psychological and welfare needs and take steps to
humanize work and work environment.

4. Construction safety refers to the measures and
processes put in place to protect workers and others at
construction sites from potential hazards and
accidents. This includes the use of personal protective
equipment (PPE), proper training and certification,
hazard identification and control, and emergency
preparedness. The goal of construction safety is to
prevent injury and illness, minimize property
damage, and ensure that construction projects are
completed safely and efficiently
WHAT IS SAFETY ?

5. CRANE
01

6. WHAT IS CRANE ?
A crane is a machine that is used to lift and
move heavy loads, machines, materials, and
goods for a variety of purposes. They are used
in all different sectors of industry, from
construction to manufacturing to shipbuilding
and material loading.

7. HAZARDS OF CRANE IN CONSTRUCTION SITE
1.Collapse: Cranes can collapse due to overloading, poor maintenance, or improper installation, which
can result in injury or death to workers and damage to equipment and buildings.
2.Load drop: Improper load handling can result in loads falling from the crane, causing injury or
death to workers and damage to equipment and buildings.
3.Electrocution: Cranes can come into contact with power lines, which can result in electrocution to
the operator and workers in the vicinity.
4.Fall from height: Workers can fall from the crane while working at height, which can result in
injury or death.
5.Collision with buildings and other structures: Cranes can collide with buildings and other
structures if not properly positioned and secured.

8. ADVANTAGE
1. Increased productivity: Cranes can greatly
increase the productivity of construction
projects by allowing workers to safely and
efficiently lift and move heavy loads.
2. Improved safety: Cranes can reduce the
risk of injury to workers by reducing the
need for manual labor and by being
equipped with safety features such as load
indicators and emergency stop buttons.
3. Reduced manual labor: The use of cranes
can reduce the need for manual labor,
freeing up workers for other tasks and
increasing overall efficiency.
1. Cost: The initial cost of purchasing
and maintaining a crane can be high,
making them less accessible for
smaller construction projects or
businesses.
2. Space requirements: Cranes can
require a large amount of space to set
up and operate, which can be
challenging in crowded urban areas.
3. Operator skill: The safe and effective
operation of a crane requires a skilled
operator, which can be difficult to find
and train.
DISADVANTAGE

9. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Pay Attention to Load Limited.
2. Use Proper Communication and Hand Signal, radios,
air horns specially for critical lifting.
3. Crane owners must verify the safety of equipment and
that operators are capable.
4. Always wear your seatbelt when in a vehicle or heavy
equipment. ...
5. Always inspect equipment and tools.
6. Always use full protection when working at heights.

10. PILE DRIVING
02

11. WHAT IS PILE DRIVING ?
Pile driving is a construction method used
to embed vertical columns made of
various materials (wood, concrete, steel,
or a combination) by driving them into
soil. Essentially, the “piles” create a deep
foundation for the structure being built
and are used to hold the large structure in
place.

12. Pile Driving Equipment
 Piling rigs
 Piling winches
 Hanging leader
 Hammer guides
 Piling hammer
 Helmet, driving cap,
dolly, and packing

13. HAZARDS OF PILE DRIVING
1. Noise pollution: Pile driving generates high levels of noise that can cause hearing
damage to workers and nearby residents if proper hearing protection is not worn.
2. Vibration damage: Pile driving can cause ground vibration that can damage nearby
buildings and structures.
3. Structural failure: Improperly installed piles can lead to structural failure of the
building or structure being supported.
4. Equipment failure: The pile driving equipment itself can fail, causing damage to the
equipment or injury to the operator or workers nearby.
5. Crushing: Workers can be crushed by the pile driving equipment if they are not careful
to keep clear of the moving parts.

14. SAFETY PROGRAM
Operator training: The operator of the pile driving equipment should be trained and experienced
in the safe operation of the equipment.
Equipment maintenance: Regular maintenance of the equipment is essential to ensure that it is in
good working condition and operates safely.
Protective equipment: All personnel should wear proper personal protective equipment, including
hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, and steel-toed boots.
Pre-operational inspection: A pre-operational inspection of the equipment should be conducted
before each use to ensure that it is in good working condition and ready for use.
Communication: Good communication between the operator and the workers on the ground is
essential to ensure that everyone is aware of the equipment's movements and can respond quickly
to any potential hazards.

15. EXCAVATOR
03

16. WHAT IS EXCAVATOR ?
An excavator is a heavy construction machine used
for digging and moving large amounts of earth, sand,
gravel, or other materials. Excavators are commonly
used for construction, mining, and demolition work.
They consist of a cab, boom, arm, and bucket,
mounted on a rotating platform called the house. The
cab provides a 360-degree view and controls the
movement of the boom and arm. The boom and arm
are used to position the bucket and dig into the
ground, while the house rotates to allow the operator
to reach the desired location.

17. HAZARDS OF EXCAVATOR
1. Falls from the cab: Workers can fall from the cab of the excavator if they are
not properly secured while operating the equipment.
2. Electrocution: Excavators can come into contact with overhead power lines,
causing electrocution if proper safety procedures are not followed.
3. Equipment failure: The excavator itself can fail, causing damage to the
equipment or injury to the operator or workers nearby.
4. Noise pollution: Excavators can generate high levels of noise that can cause
hearing damage to workers and nearby residents if proper hearing protection is
not worn

18. SAFTEY PRECAUTION
1.Operator training: The operator of the excavator should be trained and experienced in the
safe operation of the equipment.
2.Equipment maintenance: Regular maintenance of the equipment is essential to ensure that it
is in good working condition and operates safely.
3.Site preparation: The work area should be cleared of obstacles and properly marked to ensure
the safe movement of the equipment and personnel.
4.Protective equipment: All personnel should wear proper personal protective equipment,
including hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, and steel-toed boots.
5.Communication: Good communication between the operator and the workers on the ground is
essential to ensure that everyone is aware of the equipment's movements and can respond quickly to
any potential hazards.
