6. A FEW FACTS:
Health and Safety Induction Training
 The first week on each new site is
the most dangerous
 Accidents are more frequent at
the end of the day
 Small building jobs are the most
risky
 Safety helmets, Hi-viz jackets,
safety boots do prevent injury and
death
 Light weight shoes-such as
trainers or runners are not
suitable on site

10. Construction Accidents
Health and Safety Induction Training
Breakdown of fatalities according to type of accident
in construction industry
 56% falls from height
 21% trapped by something collapsing or
overturning
 10% struck by a moving vehicle
 5% contact with electricity or electrical
discharge
 4% struck by a flying/falling object during
machine lifting of materials
 3% contact with moving machinery or
material being machined
 1% exposure to a hot or harmful
substance

11. Safety Signs
Health and Safety Induction Training
Red border = DON’T do
Circular = Commands
Solid blue = MUST do
Triangle = Warning
Yellow = Warning
Green = Safe
Rectangle = Information
Solid red = Fire

12. Safe Access On Site
Health and Safety Induction Training
Everyone can get to their place of work
safely
Edges from which people could fall are
provided with double guard rails or
other suitable edge protection
Holes are protected with clearly marked
and fixed covers to prevent falls
Site is tidy
Good lighting
Fenced off from public

13. Working at Height
Height HAZARDS on Construction Sites
Health and Safety Induction Training
Holes in Floors, Gaps on Working Platforms, Shafts and
Stairwells not Adequately Covered, Barricaded, Fenced Off
Using ladders or scaffolding without
proper fixing is crazy
Never use incomplete scaffolding.
Make sure there are hand rails and toe
boards at all edges
Things fall on sites, wear your helmet
Before starting work at heights check
for clearance from any overhead power
lines

14. LETHAL LADDERS:
Ladders kill a lot of people.
Health and Safety Induction Training
Make sure the ladder is:-
 Right for the job. Would scaffolding
or a cherry picker be better?
 In good shape
 Secured near the top
 On a firm base and footing
4 up – 1 out
 Rising at least 1 meter beyond the landing place OR
that there is a proper hand hold
Always have a firm grip on the ladder
and keep a good balance

15. Safe Ladders
Health and Safety Induction Training
Never allow more than one person on a
ladder
Use tool belts or hand lines to carry objects.
Do not lean out from the ladder in any
direction
If you have a fear of heights – don’t climb a
ladder
Do not allow others to work under a ladder
in use

16. THE ROOF: A RISKY PLACE TO BE.
Very Simply:-
Health and Safety Induction Training
 Always inspect a roof before you walk on it
 You must have protection to stop you from falling off
the edge
 You must use proper safety harnesses and running
cables when working on top of a roof
Remember: a walk along a fragile roof could be your
last
50% of fatal injuries involving roofs are falls thru’
fragile materials, 30% are falls from edges and
openings

17. Health and Safety Induction Training
AVOID HAZARDS CONTAMINATION, READ
MSDS [MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SEETS]
CHEMICAL HAZARDS AND CONTROL MEASURES

18. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
1. Excess Cement Waste [Concrete]
2. Green Moss
3. Waste [Rubbish / Litter]
Health and Safety Induction Training
4. Excess Dirty Water
[Contaminated]
5. Chemical Drums without proper
Drip trays.

19. EXCAVATION WORK.
If you want to avoid being buried
Health and Safety Induction Training
alive apply these rules:-
 All excavations deeper than 1.25meters MUST be
shored or battered.
 Excavations deeper than 2 meters MUST have a guard
rail or barrier
 Vehicles working too close to the
side of the trench or rubble piled
on the sides may cause collapse
 Vehicles tipping into the excavation
must use stop blocks

20. EXCAVATION WORK
If you want to avoid being buried
Health and Safety Induction Training
alive apply these rules:-
 Make sure the excavation is inspected
daily
 Make sure you know where any
underground pipes and cables are
before you hit them
 REMEMBER: There is no safe ground
that “will not collapse”
 Trench sides can collapse without
warning

21. MANUAL HANDLING: LIFTING
• Split the load if possible
• Assess the weight, shape, freedom to move,
Health and Safety Induction Training
centre of gravity, hand holds.
• Use leverage if possible
• Get close with feet apart
• Secure grip (gloves?)
• Bend knees, keep back upright
• Never twist your back - do a 3-point turn.
• Move smoothly - don’t jerk.
• Take care when putting down

22. MANUAL HANDLING: LIFTING
• Lift properly 
Health and Safety Induction Training
Yes
• Avoid stretching

23. CRANE SAFETY
Very Simply :-
Health and Safety Induction Training
 The weight of the load must be carefully estimated
 The crane must be fitted with an automatic safe load
indicator (one that works)
 The crane must always work on a hard, level base
 The load must be properly fixed and secured
 The banksman must be trained to give clear signals
 NEVER, NEVER be carried with a load

24. Health and Safety Induction Training
Traffic Vehicles & Plant
 Vehicles and pedestrians should be kept apart on-
site – separate them as much as possible using
barriers
 Adequate clearance around slewing vehicles
 Avoid reversing where possible & use one-way
system
 Vehicles should have reversing alarms/sirens
 Passengers only on vehicles designed to carry
them

25. Goods Hoist
Good Safety Practice
Health and Safety Induction Training
Installed by a competent person
Rated capacity clearly marked
Current examination and inspection
report
Suitable base enclosure to prevent
people being struck by moving part of
hoist
Landing gates kept shut except when
platform is at landing

26. ELECTRICITY
Good practice with electricity on site:-
Health and Safety Induction Training
 Treat electricity with respect
 Check constantly that cables are
not damaged or worn
 Keep trailing cables off the ground
and away from water
 Never overload or use makeshift
plugs and fuses

27. FIRE SAFETY AND AWARENESS

 What “fire” is.
 Common causes of FIRE.
 First Aid And Safety Offices
 In the event of FIRE
 How to use a portable fire extinguisher.

28. WHAT FIRE IS?
Health and Safety Induction Training
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical
process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various
reaction products.
COMMON CAUSES OF FIRE
Open Flames
Examples of such unsafe conditions are as follows:
1. negligence in conducting hot work, such as welding, cutting or grinding;
2. improper use of candles;
3. improper handling of flammable or combustible liquids or flammable gases in near
to-potential ignition sources; and
4. matches and cigarettes that are improperly disposed of, or left unattended near
combustibles.
5. Smoking in undesignated Area e.g. Inside the villa [forbidden], Near Diesel
Tanks, Combustible Materials.

29. Electrical
Examples of such unsafe conditions are as follows:
1. damaged electrical conductors, plug wires or extension cords;
2. use of faulty, modified or unapproved electrical equipment;
Health and Safety Induction Training
3. insufficient space or clearance between electrical heating equipment and
combustibles;
4. short or overloaded circuits;
5. loose electrical connections; and
6. lighting.
Spontaneous Ignition and the Ignition of Waste Materials
Examples of such unsafe conditions are as follows:
1. improper disposal of materials susceptible to spontaneous combustion, such as oily
rags from wood finishing or polishing;
2. accumulation of organic materials, such as green hay, grain or woodchips; and
3. accumulation of waste combustible materials near potential sources of ignition.
Prevention is the best way to
fight a fire!
