Moral and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial Moral arguments:
arguments
Every organization has its moral responsibility to provide safe and healthy working condition and
protect the lives of their employees. The workers come in the organization for the sake of money to
feed their families and provide services to the organization. So workers could not prefer to get injury
during working at the site because he may be single person of family who is earning. At the site if
accident will happen then workers will suffer a lot problems like families issues, social circle will
damage or medical treatment problem and he may not work for some period of time. So its a moral
Responsibility of the organization to provide PPEs to the workers, supervision, safety trainings to
the workers To avoid accidents as well.
Financial Argument:
When an accident occur at the site then company will face huge financial problems. If a worker get
injuries or accident occur then company will pay all cost like sick pays, medical treatment, family
expenses direct and indirect costs also involved. If a worker death occur at the site then company
will pay compensation costs and health insurance to the worker family. Due to accident property will
damage, equipments and machinery will also and organization may go to the financial crises.
According to ILo organization will pay heavy fines to the enforcement authorities and working
activities may stop for some period of time. The workers will leave the organization due to high
accident rate and then company will hire new workers and they will demand high salary package.
So all consequences leads to the financial problems for the organization.
Legal arguments:
It’s A legal requirement for every organization to provide safe working conditions to their workers as
well. When an organization not provide safe working environment then enforcement authorities may

charge a heavy fines and may stop the organization for long period of time due to high accident
rate. Due to accident the criminal court will call the employer for the investigation about the accident
and he will submit investigation reports as well. Inshort organization follows ILO principals then
many heavy costs will be saved and client trust will not damage, working activities will grow as
usual at the site.
Provide a new fully inspected ladder to the painter for painting activities on top floor.
(Observation- work at height)
ILO convention and recommendation says about the work at height hazard at construction sites. As
specified in the ILO convention “C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988
(No. 167)” says about the safe use of ladder which will be fully inspected in article 14 and clause 2
and 3.
2. “In the absence of alternative safe means of access to elevated working places, suitable and
sound ladders shall be provided. They shall be property secured against inadvertent movement”.
3. “scaffolds and ladders shall be constructed and used in accordance with national laws and
regulations”.
“ PUNJAB OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT 201 (Act IV of 2019)”
The Punjab health and safety act 2019 says about the safe use of ladder during working at height in
article 19. Clause (3).
(3) “Whoever, unless duly authorized or in case of necessity, removes any machinery, equipment,
fixtures, substances, fencing, gangway, ladder, lifesaving means or appliances, lights, marks, stage
or other things required to be provided by or under the rules made under the Act or having in case
of necessity, removed any such machinery, equipment’s fixtures, substances, fencing, gangway,
gear, ladder, lifesaving means or appliances, lights, marks, stage or other things and omits to
restore it at the end of the period for which its removal was authorized or necessary, shall be
punished with fine which may extend to rupees two hundred thousand”.
Izhar Construction is following ILO and ISO standards and it’s Labour law is as per ILO policies.
The accident rate of Izhar Construction is very low and workers are satisfied about the organization
health and safety policy.

from height because worker and painter works on regular basis so the likelihood of the fall from
height or break of ladder is very likely and accident may happen so the severity of the hazard is
given below.
Insignificant: nothing will occur during accident and everything will remain safe.
Minor: Little injuries like body cut, damage or wound so in this case first aid should be needed.
Major: Severe case injuries on workers body like head injury, leg or arm break, bone fracture but in
this case hospital treatment require for the worker recovery.
Fatal: Worst case is death, property loss and environmental damage also occur.
When ladder break or workers fall from height then severity of the accident will be very high and it
lies mostly in major and fatal case. In major case worker and painter will get serious injuries on their
body and medical treatment need. But in fatal case the severity will be high workers sudden death
may happen or any body part may fracture, property damage also occur during accidents.
A new ladder will be provided to the painter and safety equipments then hazard level will be
decreased at some extent level. Fall from ladder or ladder Will not break during working because
new ladder will be inspected and risk free. During working on new ladder the painter will remain
safe and no chance of falling from height as well.
Within 2 weeks the site manager will purchase a new ladder and he will do inspection of the ladder
then he will provide to the painter. The timescale for this control measure given to the site manager
is almost 2 weeks. He will arrange a budget from finance department and purchase ladder from
market and then implement control measure at the site.
Yes, this suggested preventive measures will fully cover the work at height hazard during painting
activity but further safety equipment may be needed like safety harness, safety helmet and shoes
and trainings must be given to the workers.
Provide a new double insulated electric cable for the drill machine which must be inspected.

“THE PUNJAB OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT 2019 (Act IV of 2019)”
The Punjab health and safety act says about the electrical tool safe use as mentioned in article 08
and clause (g).
(g) “Instructions, training and supervision in relation to employment on dangerous machine and
fencing or casing of machinery, wet floors, open wiring, safety escapes, emergency exits, safe
electric wiring and fitting etc.”
Izhar Construction has its own labour laws and following the ILO standards and ISO. All preventive
measures were taken by the organization at the site for electrical safety. The accident rate related
to the electrical hazard Is very low and workers are satisfied about the HSE policy and safe working
procedures of organization.
At the site operator was using power tool (drill machine) for drilling operation and the electrical wire
of the drill machine was badly damage and worker was doing work regularly a whole day so there
was chance of getting electric shock during working with machine. The likelihood of the electricity
hazard is very likely because worker may get any time electric shock during working so serious
consequences will happen and the severity of the hazard will be.
Insignificant: no harm or damage will happen at the construction site due to electricity hazard.
Minor: Minor damage or injuries on worker body will happen and first aid should need.
Major: Due to high electric shock workers body may damage badly or disability so medical
treatment need to the workers as well.
Fatal: High electric shock cause sudden death or workers, equipment may damage or permanent
disability.
Insignificant and minor cases are normal condition of severity because these two conditions are not
serious and worker remain safe. But major and fatal cases severity is more dangerous because in
major case worker will get high electric shock and his body part may fully damage or burn and in
this case medical treatment need so it’s Too much risky. But in fatal case by getting electric shock
worker death may happen on the spot due to high severity of hazard and equipment may also
damage.
A new electric cable will be installed in drill machine which will be double insulated and inspected.

 controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
 whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
Justification for action 3
Action
Specific legal arguments
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
Learner number: Learner name:
The electricity hazard of power tool will be eliminated due to replace of new electric cable. The
workers and operator will not get electric shock during working and he will remain safe. The new
double insulated wire is damage free and inspected fully so no electricity hazard will happen.
The timescale 15 days given to the electrical engineer and he will purchase new double insulated
wire from electric store and he will provide to the electrician then electrician will replace electrical
wire of the drill machine. After that drill machine will be ready for the safe use and no chance of
electrical shock. The electrical engineer will make report about expense and about the
implementation of control measure within given time scale.
Yes, the control measure will fully control the electricity hazard during use of power tool. But further
operator must know the safe use of power tools and training, Supervision must be given.
Develop a separate storage place for the petrol drums away from the work site.
(Observation- fire hazard)
“C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167)” as mentioned ILO
convention about electricity hazards and their suitable control measure in article 29 clause 2.
2. “Sufficient and suitable storage shall be provided for flammable liquids, solids and gases”.
“ PUNJAB OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT 2019 (Act IV of 2019)”
The Punjab health and safety act 2019 says about the control measure of fire hazard and safe
storage area for the fuel source In article 3 and clause (n).
(n) “Take all practical measures for the prevention of fires or explosions and for the provision of
safety measures in the event of fire or explosions as well”.
Izhar Construction HSE policy is as per ILO and ISO standard and provide safe and healthy
working environment to their workers. Izhar Construction is certified ISO 14001 and accident rate is
too much low but further control measure should be taken about the fire hazard like fire safety
tarinings,emergency fire mock drills etc.
At the site 3 workers were smoking at the site near the electric generator and petrol drums were
present for the fuel use of electric generator. Petrol drums were openly present and workers were
doing their job on regular basis so during working petrol drums may catch a fire due to workers
smoking and fire hazard will happen so the likelihood of the fire hazard at the site is very likely and

How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
 whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
Part 4: Review, communicate and check
Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
severity will be consider as.
Insignificant: no damage will be seen at the construction site related to the fire.
Minor: Due to fire workers skin or body may damage and first aid require.
Major: Due to high level fire hazard workers body may damage or burn completely or disability and
hospital treatment required after the fire hazard in major case.
Fatal: Due to fire accident workers death will occur and hug loss like equipments damage, property
damage, environmental damage will occur and create a bad impact on workers moral as well as
organization.
In significant and minor the severity of fire hazard will be very low and no loss will happen but in
major case the severity will be very high and workers, property, equipments may loss so workers
will need medical treatment. But in fatal case severity is very high because due to fire hazard
workers death may happen or skin can burn badly, equipment and machinery can damage due to
fire
A seperate storage would be developed for the petrol drums away from the work site where
workers are working and smoking at the site. When fuel source eliminate from the site then no
chance of fire occurrence and workers will remain safe from fire hazards. Because when there will
no fuel available at the site then no fire hazard occur and this hazard will be decreased to zero
level.
The timeframe for the construction of new storage area for Petrol drums, or fuel source is given 2
weeks to the site supervisor. The supervisor will contact to the site manager and inform him about
the situation then he will ask to him for the budget and area allocation. Then site supervisor will
purchase material and hire worker for the construction of storage area. Within two weeks control
measure will active and site supervisor will make report and submit to the project manager as well
as HSE manager.
Yes, this control measures about the fire hazard will fully control the fire hazard. But Supervision,
fire safety trainings, PPEs must be given to the workers at the site to avoid the fire hazards.

 Planned review date/period with Planed review date of HSE policy and risk assessment will be after one year 02 July 2023. Because
reasoning every organization review their policies and risk assessment annually. The risk assessment and
policy will be reviewed on following conditions such as,
1. Accident, incident or near miss rate rise up
2. Working procedures may change
3. In case of changing machinery, equipment’s
4. New manpower hired, changing in constitution as well.
How the risk assessment findings will be At first I will email from the company director to the employer about the discussion of risk
communicated AND who you need to tell assessment new findings. I will call a meetings of HSE manager, project and area manager and
management staff, in the meetings and I will inform them about the new risk assessment findings
and preventive measures as well. I will conduct TBT session, mock drills, training session and
aware them about the new major findings Their hazard, risks and their control measures. I will
display all the new major findings on company notice board, official website, and social media
network. I will email all the new risk assessment findings and their preventive measures to the
director, HSE manager, project manager and other relevant staff members. With the help of poster,
graphics and presentation I will aware the workers about safe working procedures and implement
new safe work method at the site which will result in decrease of accident rate.
How you will follow up on the risk On my first priority I will enforce it on all employees at the site and set up a reminder system on
assessment to check that the actions Google after 10 days of the processing. I will ask from the site responsible person to check the
have been carried out implemented actions and progress either workers are following rules or these suggested measures.
If there is problem for the implementation then will find the reasons why new findings are not
implemented yet. If a budget problem for the implementation then mail to finance manager and
request him for the budget. If a timescale problem for the implementation then I will provide them
sufficient time frame for the new findings. I will capture some videos, pictures of the site as an
evidence and also share with HSE manager.
