I. Situationer:
Injuries caused by lifting incident can be life threatening. Lifting incident could affect anyone including the
public that can lead to injuries, loss time incident or fatality. It can also cause property damage inside the
project or public property. Lifting incident still rank as one the most common accident in the construction
A. Incident Record and Statistics
Lifting incident accounts to a total of 59 incidents recorded from 2019 to 2021, 47% from struck by
object with breakdown as shown on the graph below
B. Accident Investigation Results

 Incident no. 1
Brief Description:
A 210cm length x 13cm width aluminum beam weighing approximately 5kg fell from a height
approximately 8meters onto the back of victim’s head, breaking his hard hat and causing major
head trauma and bleeding
Contributory Factors:
 Lifting procedure was not followed (ensuring no person/workers below the load during
operation)
 Pre-lift were not performed to check stability of load or loose materials
 Pre-assembled formwork was not in compliance with the approved methods drawing
 Pre-use inspection / checks were not performed
 Task Launch Meeting was conducted but not all key person / involved in the activity
attended
2|Page

 Lack of requirement to perform checking of pre-assembled formwork prior to lifting
Incident no. 2
Brief Description:
Rebar cage with 2.3 meter diameter and 15 meter length was being lifted for splicing when 1 of 4-
leg lifting cable attached to the spreader bar got detached after weld of the stiffener ring loosened
from main bar. Crane operator immediately laid down the cage towards the direction of the
sudden swing hitting the fence and telecom cables along Cavitex.
Contributory Factors:
 Quality of welding for stiffener not properly check prior to lifting
 No documented inspection conducted by QA/QC personnel prior to installation
 No clear location for installation of lifting gears during rebar cage insertion in method
statement
 Incident no. 3

II. Program
A. Determination/selection of appropriate hazard control.
Elimination
The process of removing the hazard from the workplace. It is the most effective way to
control a risk because the hazard is no longer present. It is the preferred way to control a
hazard and should be use whenever possible
Substitution
The second most effective hazard control, involves replacing something that produces a
hazard with something that does not produce a hazard or lowers the risk
Engineering
are strategies designed to protect workers from hazardous condition by placing a barrier
between the worker and the hazard. Methods that are built into the design of a plant,
equipment or process to minimize the hazard. A very reliable way to control human
exposures as long as the controls are designed, used and maintained properly. These do
not eliminate hazards but rather isolate people from hazards
Administrative
are training, procedure, policy, or shift designs that lessen the threat of a hazard to an
individual. Administrative controls typically change the behavior of people rather than
removing the actual hazard or providing PPE
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

includes items such as respirators, protective clothing such as gloves, face shields, eye
protection, hard hat and footwear that serve to provide a barrier between the wearer and

the chemical or material. The least effective control because it only provide a barrier but
does not remove the hazard. (GL-01-EHS-008)
