4ain findin,& of the in&pection
1. Manual handling
$anual handling is common in construction work and is one of the most
common causes of injury at work. $any manual handling injuries are often the result of
carrying out these operations for a long period, but even one bad lift can cause a lifetime of
pain and disability. 6he main concern with manual handling activity is the increased risk of
injury due to wear and tear on the back, especially on the lumbar intervertebral discs, !ack
injuries can be painful and reduce one5s mobility and can lead to long absences from work
and in modern times are among the main causes of early disability.

6he 7actors that increased in the construction due the risk of injury included the
load being too heavy, large, difficult to grasp or unstable, the task being too strenuous or
involving awkward postures or movements, and the working environment lacking sufficient
space, having slippery, uneven or unstable floors, having e/treme temperatures or poor
lighting.
6he manual handling of loads regulation and its related schedule sets out a
framework for employers to reduce the risk of injury from manual handling activity. It seeks to
reduce the very large incidence of injury and ill health arising from the manual handling of
loads at work. 6he regulations place duties on employers in respect of their own employees.

6he "ccupational Safety and #ealth ,egulation re)uires the responsible person of a
workplace to make a preliminary assessment of all manual handling operations before work
and to avoid the need to undertake ha-ardous manual handling operations as far as
reasonably practicable. 8here avoidance is not reasonably practicable, the responsible
person has to make a further assessment and reduce the risk of injury by providing
mechanical aids or team lifting.
.. 4sbestos
Asbestos can cause asbestosis (diffuse fibrosis of the lung), mesothelioma
(cancer of the lining of the chest and abdomen) and lung cancer. Smoking further
increases the risk of lung cancer for those exposed to asbestos. Asbestos dust will be
generated whenever materials containing asbestos are disturbed. hese materials
include spra!ed asbestos coatings, thermal and acoustic insulation materials, fire
resistant walls and partitions, asbestos cement sheets and flooring materials.
"emolition work on asbestos insulation and spra!ed asbestos coating can produce
particularl! high level of dust. hese materials should be removed b! competent
asbestos contractors before commencement of demolition work. All work involve
asbestos and the re#uired safet! precautions are regulated b! the $actories and
%ndustrial &ndertakings (Asbestos) 'egulation and the (ode of )ractice on Safet! and
*ealth at work with Asbestos. "isposal of materials containing asbestos has to be
carried out in accordance with the +nvironmental )rotection "epartment
re#uirements.
