Precautions:

 Always inspect ladder before you use it and remove damaged ladders from use and make
sure that they are properly repaired. If they cannot be properly repaired, they must be
destroyed.

 Make sure there are no overhead power lines with which the ladder might make contact.

 The ladder should extend at least 1 m above the landing place, or above the highest rung on
which you have to stand, unless there is a suitable handhold to provide you with equivalent
support.

 You should be able to step off the ladder at the working place without being required to climb
over or under guard-rails or over toe boards. However, keep the gaps in guard-rails and toe
boards as small as possible.

 Never use a ladder which is too short, and never stand it on something such as a box, bricks
 or an oil drum to gain extra height.

 Place the ladder at a safe angle of about 75° to the horizontal, that is about 1 m out at the
base for every 4 m in height.

 Face the ladder when climbing or descending.

 Ensure that there is sufficient space behind the rungs to provide a proper footing.

 For extension ladders, make sure you leave an overlap of at least two rungs for sections up to
about 5 m in length and at least three rungs for sections of more than 5 m in length .

 Always raise and lower extension ladders from the ground and make sure that hooks or locks
are properly engaged before you start to climb.

 Make sure that your footwear is free from mud or grease before you begin to climb a ladder.

 If possible carry your tools in your pockets or in a holster or bag when you climb ladders so as
to leave both hands free to grip the stiles .

 Try not to carry materials while you are climbing ladders – use a hoist line instead.

 A common cause of accidents is overbalancing or overreaching, so do not be tempted to

stretch too far instead move the ladder.

5.4 Usage Hand Tools:

job safety issues. The open, informal atmosphere encourages the kind of questions and
discussions that personalize the issue of safety by focusing on its day-to-day applications.

Purpose of the meeting:

1. Encourage Safety Awareness

2. Get Employees Actively involved.
3. Motivate Employees to follow safety procedures.
4. Provide information on accident causes and types.

7.5 DISEASE PREVENTION

6.5.1 Outline of Prevention Management for Infectious and Communicable Diseases

The Medical service will be responsible for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention measures on
site, so as to minimize the risk of / exposure to infectious and communicable diseases that are
prevalent in the Project environment. These diseases may be vector-, food-, water- or air-borne
illnesses, or transmitted from person to person.

Primary prevention is achieved by eliminating the source of infection, preventing transmission or by

protecting people from becoming infected. Source and transmission control measures are
accomplished through engineering design procedures.

Secondary prevention is recognizing and treating symptoms early or identifying other indicators of
potential disease based on active screening and medical surveillance programs. It reduces the
prevalence of disease and disability.

Tertiary prevention is early treatment and aggressive medical management of the disease so as to
minimize disability and productivity loss.

8.0 Risk Assessment Methodology – 5 Step risk Assessment process

 Step 1
Identify the hazards

 Step 2
Decide who might be harmed and how

 Step 3
Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions

 Step 4
Record your findings and implement them

 Step 5
Review the assessment and update if necessary
8.1 Risk Assessment Guidance

A risk assessment should be completed as a record of the process of risk assessment, for each of the
activities undertaken by workers under your control. The assessment should then be used to manage
both the implementation of existing controls, and the implementation of any new arrangements that
you may have decided to adopt to improve safety. The following is a simple guide to completing the
assessment successfully.

1. Do a new assessment for each task such as working at height, cutting & welding etc... For
managers with operatives who undertake very different types of work, do a separate assessment for
each type of activity, or range of duties.

2. List the types of activities undertaken. Consider all aspects that may cover a particular task i.e.
piling.

3. For each activity - ask yourself what could happen, what could go wrong, how could one of the
operatives, yourself or a colleague or a visitor, have an accident, be harmed in some way during this
activity? Think in terms both of threats to personal safety and also any health effects which could
arise, for example from the use of concrete or its associated constituents.

4. For / the risks - if the harm is very likely it scores 5 under very likely, if it is very unlikely it scores 1.
If the harm does arise, how nasty will it be ?, a splinter means that it is very minor, a small cut
 may be minor whereas a fracture of anything other than fingers or toes would be major and so
on. If you take the probability factor and multiply it by the severity factor, you get a risk factor.
Risks which score low do not require much intervention, those which score highly deserve to be
treated with respect and care should be taken to avoid or minimise them. Note: you should rate
the risks on the basis of the current controls in place, this should give a residual risk rating, which
should be manageable. If the residual risk is not of a manageable score, then further controls will
be required until it is satisfactory.

5. The central aim of risk assessments is to establish appropriate controls. You have identified some
hazards, and the important part is managing the work and the premises to minimise them. List the
controls already in place, and add any which you feel may be needed to protect properly against
accidents and injuries. On completion, discuss the outcome with a colleague to check and see if
he concurs with your assessment of the risks. When you have implemented any new controls (if
any) update the risk assessment to take these into account.

1 Highly Unlikely Control measures unlikely to break down or be easily removed
2 Unlikely Multiple control measures where failure of one does not create harm
3 Occasional Control measures may break down, e.g. machinery or other workers not
taking required action
4 Likely Workers expected to adjust control measures every time
5 Very Likely Constant exposure. Workers expected to use control measures every
time (say PPE)
Risk Rating
Once the likelihood that an unsafe event will occur and the severity of the outcome, should it occur,
has been assessed, a valid judgment of the risks arising from the activity should be made. Following
this, a decision on whether the risks are tolerable will need to be made.

High 17 - 25
Medium 10 - 16
Moderat 5-9
e
Low 1-4

The risk rating provides an indication of priority and of the extent of the risk that remains despite the
control measures already in place. This is termed as the residual risk and completes the risk
analysis stage. The information provided by this step would be used to evaluate whether the risk is
adequately controlled or not.
The risk factor enables decisions to be taken on the amount of effort to be expended on a hazard. In
general, high-level risks may require the provision of considerable additional resources
involving special equipment, training, high levels of supervision, and consideration of the
most effective methods of eliminating or controlling hazards. Lower-level risks may be
considered as acceptable, but actions should still be taken to try to reduce these risks further if
possible within reasonable limits, especially if these hazards are certain or very likely to occur.

Risk Rating Key

Rating Definition
High Risk unacceptably high. Review urgently required to determine whether
the risk can be removed or reduced, or the controls improved
Medium Risks are acceptable but hazards and controls need investigation to
consider reasonable practicable improvements to further lower the risk
Moderate A moderate risk exists and should be monitored
Low Acceptable level of risk
