IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY
1. Human life is considered invaluable
2. Direct costs of previous accidents.
Medical care and compensation to the injured.
Expenditure on insurance premium.
Cost of legal proceeding.
Damage to property.
Delay to the project.
3.Indirect costs
Investigation into cause of accidents.
Loss of skilled men/women.
Loss of equipment.

CLASSIFICATION OF
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
1. According to causes of occurance
2. According to the nature of injury sustained
Temporary disablement
Partial disablement
Total disablement
Death

3. According to the severity of injury

Minor accident
Major accident
Accident hazard

CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS
1. Planning, organisation

Defects in technical planning

Fixing unsuitable time-limit

Assignment of work to incompetent

Defective supervision of the work

2. Execution of work

Constructional defects

Use of unsuitable materials

Defective processing of materials

3. Equipment

Lack of equipment

Unsuitable equipment

Defects in equipments

4. Management and conduct of work

Inadequate preparation of work
Inadequate examination of equipment
Inadequate supervision
5. Workers behavior
Irresponsible acts
Unauthorised acts
carelessness

MEASURING OF SAFETY
1. Injury frequency rate define as number of
disabling injuries per one lakh of man-hours
worked.
Injury frequency rate= no. of disabling injuries100000
total no. of man-hours worked

2. Injury severity rate = define as the number of lost

time due to injuries for 1000 man-hours worked .
Injury severity rate = no. of days lost 1000
total no. of man-hours worked

3. Injury index = it expressed by the following

equation.
Injury index = injury frequency rate injury severity rate
1000

FUNCTION OF CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERSUPERVISOR TO ENSURE SAFETY

Understand

the drawings and

specification.
Study the site.
Select the right workmen for the right
job.
In a demolition work , understand the
structure you are intending to demolish.
Removal temporary structures is as
importance as construction of the same.

ROLE OF DIFFERENT PARTIES IN

SAFETY
1.
.

.
.

2.
.
.

MANUFACTURER
To ensure the safety of machines, vehicles and other
equipments.
To know the safety Laws and Regulation.
In case of toxic, explosive flammable liquids and other
dangerous item, It should not sent to the user without
adequate instructions.
EMPLOYER
To provide right person for the right work.
To give the proper instruction about the safety to the
workers and employees.
To establish a proper system of signalling for any danger.

3 . WORKER

To maintain their own safety and the safety of their coworker.

Use all safeguards and safety device. Made available for
their safety.
Not allowed to rest in dangerous places such as scaffolding,
running vehicles etc.
Worker should use protective equipment for their safety.

4. DESIGNER

They should design according to safety laws and regulation.

They should know the all aspects of safety while designing
any structure.
They should not included in the design which is dangerous
and has any kind of hazard.

1. EXCAVATIONS
Causes of accidents

workers injured by material falling into the

excavation.

workers falling into the excavation

Failure due to weight of loads placed near the edge of
the excavation.
vehicles driven into or too close to the edge of an
excavation,
poisoning caused by fumes heavier than air entering
the excavation, e.g. exhaust fumes from diesel and
petrol engines.

the collapse of the sides.

Excavated material, pipes

and tools
too close to the edge of
the trench.

Machines moving too

close to edge
of trench.

PREVENTION IN EXCAVATION
Shoring to prevent the collapse
of the sides of an excavation
consisting of timber or steel
frames with close boarding
between frames

Barriers along the sides of an

excavation to prevent workers
falling into it

2. SCAFFOLDING
Causes of accidents

the ratio of the height of the tower to the width of the base is excessive.

the top working platform is overloaded causing the tower to become unstable

the tower is not tied to the building or structure where this is necessary.

access to the platform is via the outside of the tower .

PREVENTION IN SCAFFOLDING
Protection of scaffold from
falling materials

Faulty material should

not used.
All damage parts must be
removed.
Standards must be
closed together and
stiffened by rise at
regular intervals prevent
movement
Diagonal bracing may
have to be used.

LADDERS
CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS

Due to use of faulty ladders.

Due to carrying heavy materials at the time of
climbing.
Due unproper arrangement of ladders.
When the inspection & maintainance of ladders
is not done regularly

PREVENTIVE MEASURES
A ladder should be placed at an
angle of 75 to the horizontal.
The foot of ladder should be tied
effectively so that it can not
sleep.
Clean your footwears before
climbing.
The ladder should not be placed
on pile of loose bricks ,oil drum
or dust bin.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Use

of goggle while drilling, welding etc .

Use suitable and safe shoes having a steel
toe cap to from heavy material handling.
Use helmet while working at higher level.
Use suitable gloves and pads while
handling sharp, heavy, rough or hot
materials.
Use guard rails while working at higher
level.

SEFETY PROGRAMME
