. Safety of people
Working at height . Working at height always involves potential risk of serious injury or fatality to the workers. Many of the working platforms and access equipments in the work site were prone to this highly Alerted risk due to either improper design or poor maintenance. Some of the elevated work platforms are in badly maintained condition. But still in use and not provided with guard rails and toe boards these represent infringement of ‘Rule 5(2)’ of Regulation of Employment and condition and workers Act 1996 by Republic of Indian Immediate attention required on following points:
Replacing of poorly designed and badly maintained scaffolds and elevated platforms Provision of suitable guard rails and toe boards to the unprotected edger and work platforms. Routinely inspection and periodic maintenance of scaffolds work platforms and access equipments Provision of sufficient number of safety harness and other Protective equipments and proper supervision to ensure corrector usage of PPES. Estimated cost for the above control measures would be
2,70,000 inr
(a) Musculoskeletal hazards :- The tasks involving carrying load manually to longer distance and repetitive stooping 01 twisting motion are prone to various musculoskeletal disorders like back injury , tendon and ligament injurious wruld etc These risks are to be eliminated or minimized by proper planning of posting for unloading construction materials and ways of appropriate handling and following actions are strongly recommended Proper planning and supervision to ensure the material or unloaded at the possible nearest Point where the items are actually required Provision of adequate and suitable handling aids for conveying goods. Estimated cost for above remedial action would be 50,000 inr (b) Falling of objects from height Is a common hazards in any construction site.
