I started internet surfing for information about ILO had any codes of practice related to occupational safety and health at work in the mechanical as well as oil and
gas field. The British HSE website (http://www.hse.gov.uk/search/constuction)had adequate sources of information for example, site safety, working at height and
guidance for health and safety in the construction industry. Refered books published such as International Health and Safety at work(Third edition from Phil
Hughes MBE and Ed Ferrett) and prepare notes from these information and consulted with the project manager to know the different process.
With the knowledge that I occured from the information and my studies, I visited the site where the work is going on. I walk through the working area and gathered
information of the activies carryout there by visual inspection. From the permission granted by the site engineer I got a chance to interact with some workers at
rest brake. From my enquiries I found how much they where aware about risk perception and hazards in there work place, precautions to prevent accident, ill
health conditions. procedures to comply with emergency situation etc. Also checked accident records and sickness absence records to understand the causes of
accidents and accident rates, ill health conditions.
