2. Study and Transformation of
Occupational Health and Safety
techniques in Construction industry in
India
4. Abstract
In this new era of rapid construction, the upcoming technologies have reached
heights but the situation for workers and their safety is pity during the construction
process. The routine work for most of the workers is hard and they get drained out
after the completion of the work. More often they experience major to minor
hazards during work and bad occupational health due to many problems like poor
management, lack of personal protective equipment, lack of provision of insurance,
improper safety measures and absence of guidelines provided to control hazard,
shortage of emergency aids, continuous and lengthy working periods without a
break and shortness of nutritious food. Hence proper maintenance of equipment
should be carried out and a detailed safety check list for any work with all safety
measures should be provided well in advance to prevent hazards. Construction is
project based where different parties work together to achieve a common goal.
6. In India there are many accidents happen during construction causing major injuries and
causalities of workers.
Aim
7. Even if we have modern technology and equipments, accidents during construction can
happen. To prevent workers against any of such hazards may happen during construction
the following should be carried out
Safety equipment
Provision of safety & health guidelines before the starting of work
Routine work chart for worker indicating shifts and break details
Medical and physical fitness certificate
Warning signs
Insurance
Aim
9. If we provide adequate safety and heath measures for the workers during construction
then we can achieve:
Increase in the efficiency of the workers
Improved health of workers
Less accidents and injuries
Quality of the construction may be improved

Basics of Occupational Safety

Construction organizations are faced with the
challenge of having to closely monitor their
safety management systems to minimize
occupational hazards, while simultaneously
trying to sustain profits in a competitive
marketplace.
The most effective accident and disease
prevention begins when work processes are still
in the design stage when safe conditions can
be taken into consideration, rather than
attempting to solve problems after they have
already developed.
The aim of occupational safety and health
should be to achieve healthy and safe working
environment as healthy workers will be better
motivated which will contribute better-quality
products and services.

This research found that larger contractors
tend to perform better compared to smaller
companies generally because they have
greater resources to do so.

construction industry:
challenges and solutions
in the UAE
There are many benefits to focusing on
occupational health and wellness of the
workers.
Safety consciousness is a vital professional
qualification for construction worker. Workers
should always be provided with a safety
phone number for emergency situations, and
continuous advice.

06/12/2015 Construction industries are faced with the
challenge of having close monitor of their
labour safety management systems to
minimize occupational hazards.
In both small and large construction sites,
more number of accidents occurred due to
body injuries accounting to 44.1% and 26.4%,
respectively.
Studies on Labour
Safety in Construction
Sites
14. Hence, we have modern technology & equipments, In the last few
years major hazards during construction were happened in India and in
the world. Some of the examples are mentioned in the next slides
15. Example
#1 Kolkata flyover collapse ~ Background
On March 31, 2016, The
construction for the 2.2-
kilometre (1.4 mi) Vivekananda
flyover in Kolkata was
contracted in 2008 and the
work began in 2009.
16. Example
#1 Kolkata flyover collapse ~ Incident
At 12:40 pm IST on 31 March 2016, a 150 m (490 ft) span of steel of the bridge
collapsed, trapping many pedestrians and vehicles underneath.
The incident took place at the busy Rabindra Sarani - K K Tagore road crossing. 27
people were killed and at least 80 others were injured.
As of 1 April, over 100 people were still unaccounted for.
19. Example
#2 Wall collapse in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh
Seven construction workers were killed
when a huge earthen mound caved in
at the site of an under-construction
shopping complex near Harihar
Cinemas at Lakshmipuram in Guntur
on Saturday, 14 May 2016 evening.
The workers were engaged in building
the compound wall when the earthen
mound around the pit caved in
burying them in mud and slush.
Fire and emergency personnel at the site where a huge earthen
mound caved in at Guntur in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday.
22. Example
#3 Mecca crane collapse, Saudi Arabia
On 11 September 2015, a crawler
crane toppled over onto the
Masjid al-Haram, the Grand
Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
111 people were killed and 394
injured
The Saudi Civil Defence authority
confirmed that a crane collapsed
through the ceiling of the mosque
during strong winds created by a
powerful storm.
23. Example
#3 Mecca crane collapse
There were strong sand storms in
the region over the preceding
week.
The authority said an hour before
the disaster that Mecca was
experiencing medium to heavy
rains.
There were also reports of winds of
more than 40 kilometres per hour
(25 mph).
24. Example
#3 Mecca crane collapse ~ About Crane
The German-made crawler crane LR 11350
Involved in the incident is operated by the Saudi
Binladin Group, who are heading the expansion of
the Grand Mosque and also responsible for a large
amount of major building contracts in Saudi Arabia.
30. Material and Equipment
#1 Cement Storage
Bulk quantity of Cement
bags
Loading against wall, loading
up to the ceiling that may fall
on workers
31. #2 Bad Storage
Corroded equipments affect
worker's health and safety
Material and Equipment
32. #3 Bad Fire Protection
Fire extinguisher is out of
date
Not easily available during
emergency
Workers are not aware how
to operate it
Material and Equipment
33. #4 Gas cylinder kept horizontally anywhere
Material and Equipment
43. Fall Protection – The Problem
As per New OSHA standards in 1995, Fatal
injuries involving falls increased by 20 from the
preliminary count to 700 cases.
Falls are serious safety concerns at the jobsite.
Falls are one of the leading causes of worker
deaths in construction.
44. Fall Protection – The Problem
Roofs
Structures (non roofs) ex: Steel, wood frame
Scaffold
Ladders
Holes
Where are Worker Falling?
47. Fall Protection – The Problem
Fall protection protects workers from
fall hazards.
Fall protection doesn’t mean bulky or
cumbersome equipment.
It doesn’t interfere with work tasks and
it doesn’t get in the way of co-workers
– when used properly
Unguarded open-sided floor
54. To provide guidelines to the workers, contractors, engineers etc. at
construction sites and to observe the construction site wither enough
safety and health measures are taken or not. We will prepare a manual
which includes guidelines a checklist for common works of the construction
56. How we can improve?
All fall protection equipments must be
inspected at the beginning of each 8-hour
shift by an authorized person
Written or electronic records of inspection
should be kept on file for service life of
product.
Conduct periodic inspections
Is fall protection is placed?
Take pictures of people doing it right
Inspections

76. Conclusion
In this semester we have studied present scenario of worker’s safety and health
issues during construction. We have provided the possible solutions to improve it &
for the betterment of the workers . Because the construction sites are very diverse
and many activities and works are going on. So to know whether enough safety and
health measures are provided to the workers or not; we have prepared a checklist.
With the help of this checklist we will analyse various construction sites in the next
semester.
