Accidents during construction projects also

increases project cost.

Indirect cost of insurance, inspection and

regulation are increasing rapidly due to
accidents

So the project manager try to execute the

project with out any major accidents

2. Persons at Crane
Site
Make sure the crane
operator can see the:
 Rated Load
Capacities
 Operating Speeds
 Special Hazard
Warning or
Instruction
Refer to shipping ticket or other documentation
Ensure lift calculations are correct
Ensure load is within load chart rating for boom
length and load radius of crane
Crane is rated by the maximum weight it will lift
at a minimum radius and minimum boom length
– the further from its center point, the less it will
lift
Not level
Wind
Side loads
 Condition of wheels
Lifting over the side
Limits of wire rope, slings and lifting
devices
Improper loads or speeds can
result
Unguarded
Chain Drive
 Broken Window

Make sure broken windows or

other obstructions do not
prevent the operator from seeing
Don’t stand under suspended loads
Replace rope if there are
3 or more broken wires in one
strand in one lay
wear exceeds 1/3 of diameter.
Stay clear from power lines at
least 10 feet
 Level the crane and ensure support surface is firm
and able to support the load
 Contact power line owners and determine
precautions. Know the location and voltage of
overhead power lines.
 Know the basic crane capacities, limitations, and
job site restrictions, such as the location of power
lines, unstable soil, or high winds.
 Make other personnel aware of hoisting activities.
 Barricade areas within swing radius.
 Ensure proper maintenance and inspections.
 Determine safe areas to store materials and
place machinery.
Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to
support people and material in the
construction or repair of buildings and other
large structures. It is usually a modular
system of metal pipes (termed tubes in
Britain), although it can be made out of other
materials. Bamboo is still used in some Asian
countries
In construction industry per year -5,00,ooo

Related to scaffolding – 10,000

Supervisors are responsible to facilitate and/or
provide proper instruction to their workers on
protection requirements and training
Determine the type of scaffold required
1. Ensure grounding on a firm and level base.

2. Maintain the established minimum clearances from

all power lines.

3. Provide a safe access ladder.

4. Ensure scaffold has a platform perimeter handrail.

5. Anchor or tie a free standing scaffold according to

legislation.
Minimize tools, material and debris on the platform.

 Ensure a hand line with a tool bag for tools is utilized.

 When working at 3m (10 ft.), fall protection system

must be used.

 Follow scaffold safe work procedure step by step.

Must be able support its own weight and
4 times the maximum intended load.
Scaffolds must be designed by a
qualified person.
They must and built and loaded within
design.
 Scaffolds must
have base
plates, even
when setting on
a concrete floor.
 Also, the lack of
a base plate
could damage
the scaffold leg.
 Scaffold legs must
be set on base
plates and
adequate mudsills.
 There is no base
plate and the scrap
plywood is not
adequate.
 The scaffold frame
could penetrate the
plywood.
Scaffolds should
never be set on
bricks, masonry
blocks, etc.
These are not
structural
elements and
could crush
under the
scaffold load
Hydro-mobile
Frames
Workers must be trained in
Nature of electrical, fall, and falling
object hazards
Correct procedures for protection
of above
Proper use of the scaffold
Load capacities of scaffolds
 BAD!

Must have an 18”

platform.
Must have
guardrails or other
fall protection
GOOD!
 lack of oxygen
 Inhalation of toxic materials
 Fire
 Moving machinery near the edge of
the excavation can cause a collapse
 Accidental severing of underground
utility lines
• Excavating is one of
the most hazardous
construction
operations
• Most accidents occur
in trenches 5-15 feet
deep
• There is usually no
warning before a
cave-in
Employees should be protected from

 cave-ins by using an adequately

designed
protective system

 Protective systems must be able to resist

all expected loads to
the system
 A well-designed protective system
 Correct design of sloping and benching
systems
 Correct design of support systems, shield
systems, and other protective systems

Plus
Appropriate handling of materials and
equipment

Plus
Attention to correct installation and
removal
• Shield - can be permanent or portable.
Also known as trench box or trench shield.

• Shoring - such as metal hydraulic,

mechanical or timber shoring system that
supports the sides
•
• Sloping - form sides of an excavation that
are inclined away from the excavation
Slope or bench the sides
of the excavation,
Support the sides of the
excavation, or
Place a shield between
the side of the excavation
and the work area
 Cave-in Hazard

This excavation
has inadequate
support posts
and egress
access

Inadequate protective system

A trench shield was
built around this
work area
• Using hydraulic jacks the
operator can easily drop
the system into the hole
• Once in place, hydraulic
pressure is increased to
keep the forms in place
• Trench pins are installed
in case of hydraulic
failure
Hazardous Conditions
The weight and
vibrations of
the crane make
this a very
hazardous
condition.
They should
not be working
under this
crane.
 When water is
present in an
excavation it is
extremely
hazardous to enter

Note that these workers are

not wearing hardhats to
protect them from materials
falling into the trench
Test excavations more
than 4 feet before an
employee enters the
excavation for:
 Oxygen deficiency
 High combustible
gas concentration
 High levels of other
hazardous
substances
 This ladder does not meet
A stairway, ladder, the requirements of the
or ramp must be standard
present in
excavations that are
4 or more feet deep,
and within 25 feet
of the employees

The ladder should extend 3

feet
above the excavation
