(d) Electrical hazards : Exposed Wiring: Electrical wires, outlets, and equipment without proper
insulation or protection pose a risk of electric shock. Overhead Power Lines: Working in proximity to
overhead power lines can be hazardous. (e) Structural hazards : Unsafe Structures: Unstable or
poorly constructed structures can collapse, posing a significant risk to workers. Trench and
Excavation Hazards: Collapse of trenches or excavations can result in burial injuries.
Planning for control and prevention of contamination & hazards : Controlling and
preventing contamination and hazards on a construction site requires a comprehensive planning and
implementation approach. Here are key steps and strategies for effective control and prevention :
(a) Risk assessment (b) regulatory compliance (c) safety training (d) personal protective equipment
(e) engineering control (f) administrative control (g) hazards material management (h) inspection &
audits (i) environmental control etc.
Safety audits & Non compliance reports : Safety audits and non-compliance reports are
essential components of a robust safety management system in any industry, including construction.
These tools help organizations assess their safety performance, identify areas of improvement, and
ensure compliance with safety regulations. Here's an overview of safety audits and non-compliance
reports: (1) Safety audits : Safety audits aim to systematically evaluate and verify the effectiveness
of an organization's safety management system. They help ensure that safety policies. (2) Non-
compliance reports : Non-compliance reports document instances where safety protocols,
regulations, or procedures are not being followed. They serve as a tool to identify and address
deviations from established safety standards.
Turn around time for post audit compliance and implementation through proper
measures : The turnaround time for post-audit compliance and implementation through proper
measures can vary depending on the complexity of the audit findings, the nature of the identified
issues, and the organization's commitment to safety. However, it's crucial to establish a prompt and
systematic approach to address and implement corrective actions. Here's a suggested timeline : (A)
Immediate Actions (Within 24-48 Hours). (B) Short-Term Actions (Within 1 Week). (C) Mid-Term
Actions (Within 2-4 Weeks). (D) Long-Term Actions (Within 1-3 Months). (E) Follow-Up and
Verification (Ongoing) (F) Final Review (3-6 Months).
