For any injury for which the victim is sent to the nearest Hospital, the emergency
communication procedures should be followed. If the required person is absent, the
person who replaces him should be contacted.
Immediate action to be taken to prevent re-occurrence of accident generated on the same

cause in the same place.
8.4 Reports and Records
Reports required
An immediate oral report shall be made to the Company Management in the case of:
o All fatal injuries

o All injuries requiring medical attention
o All damages
o All fires
Initial oral reports of such incidents shall be followed by a written report detailing the
circumstances, corrective action taken, and recommended action to prevent a recurrence.
The written report in most cases shall be on the standard form established by the
Company although, in the case of serious accidents, a fully detailed account of the
circumstances, with witnesses, statements and descriptive photographs would be
required. No matter what type of report is used, the information should always contain
pertinent details.
8.5 Accident Investigation
Accident investigation must be conducted in a manner, which will provide facts rather than
faults. The point of such investigations is to prevent recurrence of similar accidents.
The main purposes of an accident investigation are:
o To find the causes so that similar accident may be prevented.
o To determine the point at which "unplanned" events took over from the "planned"
sequence of events.

o To recommend the corrective action to be taken.

8.6 Responsibilities for carrying our Investigation
The Safety section should carry out an immediate investigation of every accident, which
occurs in AMANA, and complete an accident report within 24 hours and submit it to the
Project Manager, Human Resource Manager, injurer’s Manager, Medical and Insurance
Company.
8.7 Cases to be Investigate
All incidents that result in property damage or serious injuries to personnel must be fully
investigated. Unless the real cause is known, the hazard cannot be controlled in the future.
The ‘near miss’, which does not necessarily produce injury, is equally important from the
point of view of prevention and should also be thoroughly investigated.
8.8 Principles of Accident Investigation
The scene of a serious accident should be left undisturbed until the safety investigator has
had the opportunity to inspect and investigate. The investigation should include but not be
limited to the following:
o Questioning the man in charge and finding out what was planned.
o Find out the injured person or the normal position of the damage equipment or plant.
o Questioning the injured person as soon as possible.
o Questioning the witness as to what they actually saw, not what they think happened.
o Finding the explanation for any irregularities.
o From the information obtained, establishing the reason why the ‘unplanned” took
over from the “planned”.
o Recommending methods of implementing corrective action.
8.9 Accident Analysis

Classification
Experience indicates that nine general classifications can be made:

o Persons falling
o Handling objects
o Striking against objects
o Struck by objects
o Equipment
o Hand tools
o Transportation
These basic headings should be sufficient for analysis purposes for contractors. A further
breakdown might be:
Falls of Persons from Heights

o To the ground or another level
o From scaffolding
o From ladders
o Into holes, trenches, etc.
o Into water
Falls of Person on the level
o To the ground
o Against objects
Handling objects
o From lifting
o From pulling or pushing
o Handling materials
o Electric shock
Striking against objects
o Protruding nails
o Scaffold tubes and fittings
o Stepping or kneeling on objects.
Struck by objects
o Falling objects
o Foreign bodies in eyes
o Flying objects.

o Hot surfaces
Hand tools
o Power tools
o Non-power tools
Transportation
o Road
o Site
o Off-Road
Lifting Appliances
o Cranes
o Hoists and winches
o Piling frames
From this breakdown it should be a simple matter for anyone to decide upon a list suitable
to the type of work.
At the end of each month a summary of all injuries is made and by transferring the figures
from each contract or job to a master record sheet covering a company's entire operation,
any tendency towards a particular kind of accident, affecting one or more trades, will soon
become apparent. Steps should then to be taken to find out why this has been happening and
to prevent recurrence. This information, with the results of some of the calculations will act
as a guide to the company's state of health, and indicate the effectiveness of its accident
prevention policy.
9.0 TRAINING, AWARENESS & COMPETENCE
Amana Cont. & Steel Bldg. Co. attaches great importance to ensuring that all
personnel performing activities, which may cause a safety and/or health hazard, have
adequate experience and qualifications. This is achieved through the recruitment of
suitable qualified personnel and provision of adequate training.

AMN-PSP/358
Rev. 0/05.11.08
The company has established training plans to make its employees, at each relevant
function and level, aware of:
o The importance of conformance with the HSE policy and related procedures.
o The significant safety and/or health risks, actual or potential, of their work
activities and the benefits of improved personal performance.
o Their roles and responsibilities in achieving conformance with the HSE policy
and procedures and with the HSE system, including emergency preparedness
and response requirements.
o The potential consequences of departure from specified operating procedures.
The training needs of personnel will be reviewed at regular intervals. Where training
requirements are identified, a plan for further training will be established.
Importance will also be given to have control on the environmental factors such as
chemical, physical and biological exposures or stresses arising out of the workplace,
which may cause sickness, impaired health or well being, or significant discomfort and
inefficiency among workers.
9.1 Safety Training for Supervisors/ Foreman
The immediate job of preventing accidents falls upon the Supervisor/ Foreman, not because
it has been arbitrarily assigned to him, but because accident prevention and production
control are closely associated supervisory functions.
The most direct way to develop the desired attitudes and to impart the necessary information
about safety to supervisors/ foreman is to provide a course of instruction.
The course for supervisors should include legal requirements, company and administrative
policies, and safety aspects of the work likely to be undertaken by the supervisors/ foreman.
9.2 Safety Training for Workmen
Accident prevention for workmen during the training program can be considered fewer than
three headings:
8.2.1 Integration of safe working practice into all training for particular skills.

Rev. 0/05.11.08
Hopefully those who receive training at recognized training establishments would have
the entire necessary safe working elements integrated into the basic instruction for their
particular skills.
8.2.2 Specialized safety training applied from within the Company. There are two aspects:
(1) Induction training for new employees of the Company. It should be realized that a new
entrant is likely to be exposed to risk before his job training is complete. It should also
be recognized that both the new entrant and new employee are more susceptible to
accidents in their early working career.
Induction training should familiarize new men with the common types of hazards on site
and the precautions that they are expected to take. It should also cover the broad
requirements of the company's own accident prevention policy and instruct newcomers
specifically in those sections which effect them personally, e.g., if it is company policy
that safety helmets and protective footwear should always be worn, then this should be
made clear and they should be told how and where to obtain them.
(2) Suitable induction courses together with job training containing integrated safety content
will go a long way towards achieving safe working conditions. Site supervision,
however, must ensure that correct job methods are utilized and workmen are
periodically reminded that hazards still exist.
An induction safety course for workmen should be aimed at the specific site where they are
working.
9.3 Induction Training for Workmen
