I. Situationer:
Injuries caused by falling objects can be devastating, even life threatening. Falling objects can strike
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. Falling objects still rank as one the most common
accident in the construction
Falling object accounts to a total of 124 incidents recorded from 2019 to 2021 with an average of
41 per year with breakdown as shown on the graph below
First aid still the most common accident classification but the record shows that it resulted to 1
fatality and 3 LTI.
Brief Description:
Electrician was performing installation of threaded rod intended for pipe support on a two
layered scaffold, when a piece of excess cut support rod placed on the working platform rolled
down and fell hitting another worker who was conducting plastering works right below the area
where working at heights was taking place which caused lacerated wound on his head.
Root cause:
Failure to secure materials that may fall
No toeboards on scaffolds use
Simultaneous activity is performed directtly below or within the working at heights activity

Each project shall incorporate in Project Execution Plan (PEP) the detail of plan for
protection of public and adjacent property during construction and demolition.
For areas commonly use or shared with public and when constructing temporary
structures intended for protection of public, coordination with LGU and other
concerned officials must be made and if required, secure necessary permits. Also,
necessary traffic management materials such as, but not limited to: Hard Barriers,
blinkers, rope lights, signage’s, including designated traffic enforcers must be
prepared/assigned to.
Net/screen shall be provided from the upper most part of the construction/ demolition
to ground level when the horizontal distance between the outermost face of the
building and the outer edge of the sidewalk is less than one-half (1/2) of the height of
the building (National Building Code Rule XI section 1106 no.4h ).
100% supervision by competent or technical people will be upheld during execution
of these activities to reduce imminent danger situation for public or by passer during
Construction
7.1 Housekeeping
a. Materials, equipment, tools which are not in use shall be secured to prevent
accidental displacement
a. When used as protection from falling objects, must be erected along edges of
overhead walking/working surface for a distance sufficient to protect persons
working
below and must be:
-Able to withstand force downward or outward direction at any point
- At least 300 mm tall from top edge to level of walking/working surface
8. Debris Yard
a. When debris cannot be handled by chutes, the area into which the material is
dropped shall be enclosed with barricades not less than (1.1 m) in height
b. Barricade shall be installed to keep personnel from all debris landing area
c. Warning signs must be posted in all debris landing areas and at each level
exposed of falling debris
b) EHS Bulletin

c) Work Methodology
A system of practices, techniques, procedures, and rules used by those who work in a
discipline. Different methodologies have different strategies that aid in managing issues
should they arise during the project's delivery
Required in WAS/WAT, PEP, list of basic EHS requirements during kick off meeting with
subcon
Prepared by process owner, reviewed and approved by project team

II. Program
i. 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
ii. 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
iii. 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
iv. 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

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
Perform housekeeping before, during and at least 15 minutes before leaving the
work area “Linis Bago Alis” to remove materials that may fall and eliminate conditions
that may cause objects to fall (GL-01-EHS-005 section2.1)
All materials, tools and equipment that may fall or may cause objects to fall must be
removed from service or replaced immediately (NEW)
ii. Substitution
the second most effective hazard control, involves replacing something that produces a
hazard with something that does not produce a hazard or produces a lesser hazard
Pre installed window on exterior precast wall in lieu of temporary window opening
cover (NEW)

Secure load being lifted. Ensure that appropriate lifting devices are in good condition
and properly installed

iv. 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

Typical PPE to be issued and use is hard hats or helmets, this provide a barrier between
the wearer and the potential fall of objects or materials. The least effective control
because it only provide a barrier but does not remove the hazard. (GL-01-EHS-008).

this program to be successful. Benefits of feedback are the folllowing;
It improve the situation or the person’s or organization performance
It promotes and ensure engagement of all concern
It evaluate the effectiveness of Zero Accident Program implementation.
It obtain ideas collectively from other departments for the improvement of the
program
It obtain the pulses of different individuals working on the project
