Introduction:
Apart from the construction related precautions that we take as per the hazards existing at the
construction site; extra cautionary measures are required to be taken in monsoon season, as the
level of risk increases during this period.

What is Monsoon:
A Monsson is a sessional change in the direction of the preveiling wind.This wind typically brings
about a marked change in the local weather.

How are Monsoon Performed:

Monsson winds are caused when the sun heats the atmosphere.It is a shift in wind that occurs
due to a change in local weather.Simply speaking, when there are difference in temperature
between the oceans and the continents, monsoon winds occur.
• India’s monsoon season runs from june to september.
• The weather pattern is caused by differing temperature trends over the lands and ocean.
• Rain can come on suddenly, and hours of rain are common on most days.
• Mumbai & Kolkata receive the most rain of indian cities during monsoon.

OBJECTIVES:
To develop a safe procedure to tackle with the predicted monsoon hazards at construction Site,
labour colony in a systematic structured way.
