1.1 General
There are various problems and incidents, which could occur on site and which would
require urgent attention. Hence, the need to have an emergency procedure on the site.

The Centre point of Contractor’s emergency procedure is the prompt administration of

first-aid to accident victims and to those who become ill until medical aid can be fully
given by a medical doctor. This is paramount in order to ensure that the life of a casualty
is to be sustained and recovery is to be promoted. It is the Contractor’s policy that our
Site Manager would have attended a course in first aid, and have some knowledge of
what to do in an emergency situation.

1.2 Action to be taken

In the event of an accident, the Site Manager as the site first Aider to do the following:

i. Call -------------------------------Hospital, at-------------------------------------------,

and request for an ambulance to be sent immediately.

ii. Remain calm and assess what has happened

iii. Talk and listen to the casualty, and apart from instilling confidence and
reassurance, try to diagnose what injuries have been sustained.

iv. Give immediate treatment after making sure there are no further dangers
(collapsing structure, fire etc.).

v. In case there are immediate dangers, deal with them to reduce or eliminate further
accident. This may require the removal or deliberate demolition of the permanent
structure.

vi. Move the casualty to the safest minimum distance before giving first aid
treatment.

vii. All efforts must be made to ensure that the casualty is breathing properly and
thereafter place him in recovery position, if he is unconscious or likely to pass
out.

viii. Arrest bleeding

ix. Transfer the casualty to Hospital for further treatment.

x. Make adequate and accurate record of the accident.

xi. Report the incident on the same day to the Managing Director of that Contractor
Company
2.0 FIRST AID

injury or illness until help is obtained from a medical doctor.

2.2 First Aiders

It is proposed that the Site Manager will undergo first Aid Training to enable him
perform the role of First Aider on the site.

It is also proposed that there will be a standing arrangement with the --------------------

4.0. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN

This Project Health and Safety Plan has been developed specifically for the proposed
residential development at no 71 Herbert Macaulay Street, Ebute- Metta Lagos Mainland
Local Government Area Lagos State. The building is a two-storey building comprising of a
car pack at the ground floor level and one flat each on the upper floors that is the first and the
second floor.
The objectives include;
i) To secure the health, safety and welfare of persons who will work or visit the site;

ii) To protect persons other than persons in (i) above against risk to health and safety
arising out of, or in connection with the activities of persons working on the
project;

5.0 ASSESSMENT OF HAZARDS AND RISKS

5.1 After a careful study of the production information, in-depth site investigation and
analysis of the construction methodology, the project is judged to have a low content of
health and safety risks. The risks are as a result of the following:

1. Excavate: Possible collapsed of the sides of trenches, septic tank and soak away, if there
is no earthwork support falling into the trench.
2. Erection of form work: Fall from high level during erection of form work.
3. Concreting: Fall during casting of concrete.
4. Roofing: Falling from roof level during the construction of roof wall structure and roof
covering.
5. Nail: If site is not tidy and used planks well kept.
6. Site Personnel: The large number of workers to be engaged on the site. It is anticipated
that the site population at peak period will be about 60 people.
7. Falling Objects: Objects that could fall from high level in the buildings.

9.0 ACCIDENT PREVENTION MEASURES

9.1 General
 The accident trend in the construction industry can only be influenced positively by
providing adequate training and management in order to control the workers, the
plant/equipment and the working environment.

To this effect, the following measures are to be taken on the site.

9.2 Workers
 Each worker will be properly informed of the activities he is expected to perform
and be made aware of all the inherent hazards.
 Only competent workers will be engaged on the project.
 Safe system of work with the use of work instruction sheets will be adopted for all
operations.

This will apply to all areas of the site including the stores, offices and welfare facilities.
Resources are to be made available and regular checks are to be carried out in order to
ensure that:

 Floors are clean, not slippery and free from debris. This will be achieved by the
employment of unskilled operatives who will be specifically responsible for
tidying up the entire site.
 Stairs, gangways and loading bays are adequately guarded and maintained by the
use of either wooden or steel guardrails. The workplace is adequately lit, in
particular at access points and openings and whenever lifting operations take
place.

 The stairs will be provided with guardrails.
  Independent scaffolding will be erected as perimeter block work and cladding
proceeds.
 Wooden ladders of various lengths will be provided for access onto scaffolds.
 Wooden ladders will also be provided for getting into and climbing out of
basement excavation.

13.0 UNDERGROUND OBSTRUCTIONS AND BURIED SERVICES

13.1 In view of the fact that buried services are largely, out of sight and out of mind until the
time come for someone to dig a hole or start excavating for trenches for substructure, the
need for its inclusion in this plan cannot be over-emphasized.

The most obvious examples of buried services are those used to carry water, electricity,
telecommunications and gas. The same is true of drains and sewers.

13.2 Locating and Identifying Buried Services

Before any digging takes place, checks will be carried out in conjunction with public
utility officials. The checks will be carried out in order to identify the existence or
otherwise of services in the proposed work area. Any services found would be clearly
marked on the site layout drawing and the route physically identified on ground with red
paint.

14.0. ERECTION AND INSPECTION OF SCAFFOLDS

14.1 General
All scaffolds and working platforms are to be properly erected to provide adequate
working space. No scaffold will be erected, modified or dismantled except under the
supervision of Scaffold Supervisors, Mr.……………………… and Mr.………………….

All scaffold materials are to be inspected by one of them.

Scaffold and Platform Towers will be provided on site for all work which cannot safely,
be done from the ground or part of the building. While the scaffold to be used on the
project will be bamboo with timber boards, the platform tower will be purpose made
wooden towers. Scaffold will be properly maintained and inspected frequently to check
all serviceable parts and secured to prevent accidental displacement. No scaffold shall be
left partly erected or dismantled unless adequate notices are displayed and access
blocked.

15.0 FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION PROCEDURE

To prevent and deal with occurrence of fire on site and to protect the works, the
following actions are to be taken:
 i. No inflammable materials are to be stored on site within the building.

ii. Photoelectric smoke detector warning alarms will be strategically positioned and
protected on site and on each floor of the building.
