7) EHS RISK ASSESSMENT

Purpose:
To assess the risk of the activity to be executed, rate the risk levels as per the risk assessments matrix, and identify
the control measures so as to bring the risk level to ALARP.

Steps in Conducting Risk Assessment:

Preparation of Work

Prior to conducting a risk assessment, the following information should be obtained as far as possible:

 List of work activities


 List of machinery and tools used
 Records of past incidents and accidents
 Relevant legislation
 Relevant codes of practice or specifications
 Details of existing risk controls
 Feedback from staff, clients, suppliers or other stakeholders
 Other information such as material safety data sheet (MSDS), manufacturers
 Instruction manual

. Copies of any relevant previous risk assessments

28
Hazard Identification
Hazard Identification is perhaps the most important step in risk assessment because hazards can only be controlled
if they are identified. Hazard identification involves identifying the hazards associated with the activity of each
process and type of potential accidents or incidents.
During this phase, the aim is to spot hazards, brainstorm on all the possible types of accidents and ill health that
can happen due to the hazard, and identify the persons that can be victims of the accident or ill health.

Workplace safety and health hazards can be identified by considering:


 Method of work e.g. repeated tasks and unsafe work practices
 Electrical and mechanical hazards
 Manual material handling e.g. lifting, pulling and pushing
 Chemicals e.g. corrosive substances
 Machinery or plant e.g. unguarded machines
 Temporary structure e.g. scaffolds
 Environmental conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces, lighting level, unstable soil Conditions
 Layout and location of equipment

Possible types of accident or incident and ill health include:


 Person falling from height
 Object falling from height
 Slips or falls on the level
 Electrocution
 Asphyxiation
 Drawing
 Collapse of structure
 Fire and explosion
 Struck by or against object
 Caving in of Excavation / stored material / vehicle falling in excavation

29
Persons-at-risk include:
 Persons directly involved in the operation
 Persons not directly involved in the operation
 Visitors of the workplace
 Members of the public

Risk Evaluation
 Risk evaluation consists of:
 Identifying the existing risk control measures;
 Assessing the potential severity of the hazards;
 Determining the likelihood of occurrence and
 Assessing the risk level based on the severity and likelihood.

Risk evaluation is the process of estimating the risk levels for the hazards and their acceptability. This is used as a
basis for prioritizing actions to control these hazards and minimize safety and health risks.

Existing Risk Control


The presence of existing control measures should first be identified for individual activity for each process. By
considering the effectiveness of the existing controls and the consequences of their failure, the risk of the activity
can be assessed.
Risk is made up of two parts:
Expected SEVERITY of the hazard;
LIKELIHOOD of the occurrence of the accident / incident or ill health taking into account the existing risk
controls.

MATRIX FOR RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk Control
Based on the risk level determined, risk controls should be selected to reduce the risk level to an acceptable level.
This can be done by reducing the Severity and/or Likelihood.
As indicated in the risk matrix, when the risk level is “High”, effective and practicable risk controls must be
implemented to bring down the High Risk level to ALARP Level “As low as reasonably practicable”. The table
below shows the acceptability of risk and recommended actions for different risk levels, which can be used to guide
the selection of risk controls.
Severity of Hazard

Severity is the degree or extent of injury or harm caused by the hazards, or as a result of an accident. Severity of
hazard is classified as per the table given below.

30
Likelihood of occurrence
 Likelihood of occurrence of an accident or incident or ill health is classified as per the table given below.
 To minimize the subjectivity of estimating likelihood, in addition to looking at existing controls, the
following sources of information should be considered:
 Past incident and accident records
 Industry practice and experience
 Relevant published literature
 HIRA is to be prepared in the Format

List of HIRA (Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment) as applicable at site: -

 Cutting, Bending & Tying of rebar for Column.


 Shuttering & De-shuttering work for column.
 Concreting of column (Manually / By tower Crane)
 Shuttering & De-shuttering work for slab (By C.T.Prop / By H.D. Tower)

SCAFFOLDING:
TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING:
Scaffolding is widely used during construction and renovation activities. In its simplest from, a scaffold is
any temporary elevated or suspended work surface used to support workers and / or materials. There are
many types of scaffolds, both supported and suspended. Included here are general requirements for all
scaffolds, as well as specific requirements for one type each of supported scaffold (tubular welded frame)
and suspended (two - Point suspension).

68
The footing of scaffolding must be sound and rigid, capable of supporting the weight. Scaffolding must be
placed on unstable objects, such as bricks or blocks.
Scaffolds must be erected, dismantled, or moved only by trained scaffolders.
Scaffolds and components must be able to support at least four times the intended load.
Standard Hand rails (E.g., Hand rail and mid rail) and toe boards must be provided for all open sides of
scaffolding that are ten 10 feet or more above the surrounding surfaces.
To protect against falling object, screens must be installed between the toe board and mid rail, if anyone
is required to pass under the scaffolding.
Any damaged or weakened component of a scaffold must e repaired or replaced immediately.
All planking or platforms must be overlapped a minimum of twelve 12 inches and secured from
movement. Scaffold planks shall extend over their support at least six 6 inches but no more than twelve
inches.

22) ELECTRICAL SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION:

Electricity:
• Electricity is the flow of energy from one place to another
• Requires a source of power: usually a generating station
• A flow of electrons (current) travels through a conductor
• Travels in a closed circuit

Electrical Terms:
• Current -- electrical movement (measured in amps)
• Circuit -- complete path of the current. Includes electricity source, a conductor, and the output
device or load (such as a lamp, tool, or heater)
• Resistance -- restriction to electrical flow
• Conductors – substances, like metals, with little resistance to electricity that allow electricity to flow
• Grounding – a conductive connection to the earth which acts as a protective measure
• Insulators -- substances with high resistance to electricity like glass, porcelain, plastic, and dry wood that
prevent electricity from getting to unwanted areas

Few facts about Electrical Injuries:


• Contributes to 6 – 7 % of construction accidents;
• 30 % of electrocution’s are accompanied by fall from height;
• Fatality rate is more than Incidence Rate.

Hazards
• Fire
• Explosion
• Burns
• Electrocution

Safe Procedure:
• Only an authorized electrician should deal with electricity in any way
• All the power tools should be green tagged before use.
• Use double insulated cable
71
• Use industrial sockets for joining cables
• Checking & maintenance to be done periodically

Unsafe Procedure:
• Cable joints should be visible one
• No bare wire should be exposed
• Cable shall not be routed through water or ground
• Cables shall not be routed through metal components like scaffold, ladder etc.

Earthing:
• All the Electrical equipment shall be grounded;
• DB’s shall be provided with double earthing;
• Earthing conductor shall be capable of carrying of maximum current;

Audit Procedures:

Clusters shall be audited (involving all the functions) at least once in 6 months. Management Representative
prepares a quarterly audit schedule to conduct the internal EHS audit.

 Individual functions, such as P&M, Purchase, Formwork, CMPC, HR, Admin etc. (which has serious

implication to EHS performance of the organization) at HO shall be audited once in 12 months.

 All the workmen Habitats shall be audited as part of the site audit.

77
 All the projects shall be audited once in six months.

78
 The audit schedule lists the projects, clusters & headquarters along with scheduled date of audit and the

name of the nominated internal auditor.

 It is ensured that the personnel assigned to carry out the audit are independent of those having direct

responsibility for the audited activity. Personnel who carry out internal audits are trained in auditing

techniques.

 Audit is conducted by auditors seeking objective evidence demonstrating whether the audited activities

comply with the requirements of the documented IMS and rate the EHS performance of the project as per

the EHS Audit scorecard.

 Under normal circumstances, audits shall not be postponed; in extra-ordinary circumstances, if

postponement is unavoidable, the person who seeks the postponement (either the auditor or the auditee)

shall give alternative audit date(s) within 10 working days of the original date.

 If the quality of the audit and the audit report is not acceptable to MR (if the audit doesn’t fulfil the

objectives, as defined above, in this procedure), concerned auditors shall not be used for audits later or shall

be used as “trainee auditors” along with other auditors.

 Audit report shall not be restricted to some physical (unsafe) observations at site and few other (unrelated)

observations related to documents/ records, in addition to the scoring system. It should have a

comprehensive coverage to all the requirements of the IMS manual.

 Duration of audit can be more than one day, depending on the size, complexity, severity of the site and the

scope of the audit.

 When nonconformity is noted, it is brought to the attention of, and discussed with the responsible person

and a nonconformity report is raised. The auditor fills out the first part of the form describing the non-

conformity, which is agreed & acknowledged by the auditee. The responsible person uses the second part of

the report to propose a corrective action and the Date by which the corrective action will be implemented.

The auditor, if satisfied, agrees with the Date, otherwise it is resolved by the Management Representative.

 Auditors shall start the audit with an opening meeting and end the audit with a closing meeting. These

meetings shall be attended by responsible persons at the auditee’s work location.

78
 Auditor evaluates the EHS performance of the office / site quantitatively with the audit score card of office

/ site as a guide. The scores obtained are summarized in the Audit scoring summary sheet.

 Auditor shall send the Audit Report comprising of Non Conformity Report, Observations and Audit

Scoring summary sheet to Auditee, CEHSM / HOD-EHS within seven working days of the audit date.

 Immediately after the due Date for implementation of corrective action, the CEHSM follows up to

determine, if corrective action has been implemented and whether it is effective. If more work is needed, to

fully implement the action, a new follow - up Date is agreed upon.

 Upon satisfactory completion of implementation of corrective action and verification of the effectiveness

of the corrective action, the status of nonconformity report is closed by CEHSM- for NCR generated at

projects and by MR- for NCRs generated at Cluster Office & HO.

 The Non-conformity reports are retained by the auditee functions until they are closed out.

 Closed out Non - conformity reports are retained by the Management Representative / CEHSM, who

periodically reviews the status of all Non - conformity reports to determine pending nonconformities

requiring follow up on corrective actions.

 Copies of Closed out non-conformities are sent to auditee for records.

 Audit findings are analyzed every quarter to assess the performance of projects/ clusters and to initiate

necessary corrective & preventive action. This analysis is presented in the Management Review meetings

with any specific inferences/ support needed from the management.

 CEHSM shall send the summary & status of audit conducted every quarter.

 The results of internal audits

24) STORAGE AND HANDLING OF CHECMICALS

MATERIAL SAFETY AND DATA SYSTEM:

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a detailed information bulletin prepared by the manufacturer or
importer of a chemical that describes the physical and chemical properties, physical and health hazards, routes
of exposure, precautions for safe handling and use, emergency and first-aid procedures, and control measures.
Information on an MSDS aids in the selection of safe products and helps prepare employers and employees to
respond effectively to daily exposure situations as well as to emergency situations.

Material safety and data system for all raw materials, infrastructure, products and finished products
are maintained in order.

Employer Responsibilities

Employers must ensure that each employee has a basic knowledge of how to find information on an MSDS and
how to properly make use of that information. Employers also must ensure the following:

• Complete and accurate MSDS are made available during each work shift to employees when they are in their
work areas.
• Information is provided for each hazardous chemical.
• Provide training on their content.

Employee Rights

• Your workplace is required to have Material Safety Data Sheets available for every hazardous chemical or
substance you use or encounter as a part of your job.
• These must be readily available for employee review at all times you are in the work place. In other words,
they cannot be locked in an office or filing cabinet to which you do not have access.
• If you request to see an MSDS for a product you use at work, your employer must provide it within
one working day.

80
What information is required on an MSDS?

MSDS must be written in English and contain the following information:

1. Chemical Identity: Name of the product including the common name if one exists

2. Manufacturer’s Information: Name, address, phone number, and emergency phone number of the manufacturer

3. Hazardous Ingredients/Identity Information: List of hazardous chemicals. Depending on the state, the list

may contain all chemicals even if they are not hazardous, or only those chemicals that have OSHA standards. Since

chemicals are often known by different names, all common (trade) names should be listed. The OSHA Permissible

Exposure Limit (PEL) for each hazardous ingredient must be listed.

4. Physical/Chemical Characteristics: Boiling point, vapor pressure and density, melting point, evaporation rate,

etc.

5. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data: Flash point, flammability limits, ways to extinguish special firefighting

procedures, and unusual fire and explosion hazards.

6. Reactivity Data: How certain materials react with others when mixed or stored together.

7. Health Hazard Data: Health effects (acute=immediate; chronic=long term), ways the hazard can enter the

body (lungs, skin, or mouth), signs and symptoms of exposure, emergency and first-aid procedures, and any

medical conditions which are generally recognized as being aggravated by exposure to the chemical.

8. Precautions of Safe Handling and Use: What to do in case materials spill or leak, how to dispose of waste

safely, how to handle and store materials in a safe manner, appropriate hygienic practices, and protective measures

to be used during the repair and maintenance of contaminated equipment.

81
9. Control Measures: Ventilation (local, general, etc.), type of respirator/ filter to use, other appropriate

engineering controls, work practices or personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, or

goggles, face shields, aprons, etc.

10. Primary Routes of Entry: inhalation, absorption, etc.

11. Emergency and First-Aid Procedures: flushing with water, removal to fresh air, etc.

82
25) FIRE PREVENTION

General:

A fire can occur in premises that are under construction, in equipment and machinery, in stored
materials, in site infrastructure including staff quarters and labour camp. Apart from the
possibility of casualties, it will cause damage to structure, materials and interruption of work.

Fire Prevention

 While preparing the Project HSE Plan, HSEO shall identity the fire hazards and fire prone
areas at the workplace.

 HSEO shall implement suitable precautionary measures.

 No smoking” policy shall be applied.

 Material should not be stored in a manner that obstructs emergency exits, electrical panels,
walkways.

 All combustible material shall be stored with adequate space all around to act as firebreak.

 Quantity of combustible materials stored at any time should not exceed the sanctioned quantity.

 Combustible material shall be stored away from sources of fire and from sources of heat like
heaters, steam lines etc.

83
 Open flame work shall be prohibited in areas where flammable materials are stored or are in use.

 All electrical installation, whether as part of contractual work or part of the enabling works,
combustible material shall be stored away from sources of fire and heat like heaters, steam
lines etc.

 The electrical installation for enabling works as well as contractual work shall be carried out
and maintained by licensed wiremen/electricians under the supervision of a licensed electrical
supervisor.

Fire Fighting Training
