CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFETY PRACTICES

MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

42

a) Excavation Trenching and excavation work presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are much more likely than other excavation-related accidents to result in worker fatalities. Other potential hazards include falls, falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and incidents involving mobile equipment. MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

43

• The basic methods for protection from cave-ins

are sloping, benching, shoring, and shielding. The method you should use depends on factors such as soil type and water content, excavation depth and width, the nature of the work, and nearby activities that could increase the risk of a cave-in. • A registered Structural Engineer must design protective systems for all excavations that are more than 20 feet deep.

b) Formworks and Concreting Formwork is the term given to either temporary or permanent molds into which concrete or similar materials are poured. The formwork is built on site out of steel, timber and plywood or moisture-resistant particleboard. It is easy to produce but time-consuming for larger structures, and the plywood facing has a relatively short lifespan. It is still used extensively where the labor costs are lower than the costs for procuring re-usable formwork.

46

MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

47

c) Scaffoldings & Ladders SCAFFOLD means any temporary elevated platform (made of timber, metal or bamboo) and its supporting structure (including points of anchorage) used for supporting employees or materials or both in the course of any construction works, including maintenance and demolition works.

MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

48

Hazards in the Use of Scaffolds Falls from elevation Struck by falling tools / debris Scaffold collapse Electrocution

MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

49

Recommended Measures

Struck by falling tools or debris • Barricade the area below the scaffold and forbid entry • Use panels or screens • Build a canopy or net MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

50

Means of Egress A stairway, ladder, or ramp must be present in excavations that are 4 or more feet deep.

This ladder does not meet the standard requirements

The ladder should extend 3 feet above the excavation MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

51

d) Metal Arc Welding & Cutting is an arc welding process in which coalescence of metals is produced by heat from an electric arc that is maintained between the tip of a covered electrode and the surface of the metal in the joint being welded.

53

e) Hand Power Tools Hand and power tools are a common part of our everyday lives and are present in nearly every industry. These tools help us to easily perform tasks that otherwise would be difficult or impossible. However, these simple tools can be hazardous and have the potential for causing severe injuries when used or maintained improperly. MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

54

Hazards in the use of Power Tools Workers using hand and power tools may be exposed to these hazards: objects that fall, fly, are abrasive, or splash harmful dusts, fumes, mists, vapors, and gases frayed or damaged electrical cords, hazardous connections and improper grounding

MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

57

g) Electrical Installation Electrical safety is of utmost concern in workplaces where machines abound. It has been researched that over a hundred people die each year because machines that are being repaired, set up, or serviced have not been properly locked out. Lockout Tagout (LOTO) was specifically created to make sure that a particular machines energy is neutralized before it is serviced on. MSRS SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SERVICES – DOLE OSHC Accreditation No. 1030-112113-0065

58

Electrical Hazards Accidently starting up of a machine without other people knowing that the machine is under maintenance, and that people are currently working on it. Machines that are being repaired become extremely hazardous devices when they are turned on. People can become electrocuted, crushed, or impaled by flying debris should these machines suddenly acquire power when their parts are being worked on.
