Terms• competent person means a person who has acquired, through training,
qualification, or experience, or a combination of these, the knowledge and skills, to perform the work activity
• construction site means a place at which construction work is undertaken, and any other area in the vicinity where plant or other material used or to be used in connection with the construction work is located or kept during the construction work
• construction work means 1. Excavation or filling of trenches, ditches, shafts, wells, tunnels2. building, including the manufacturing of prefabricated elements of a
building at the place of work concerned), alteration, renovation, repair, maintenance
3. civil engineering for example, airports, harbors, waterways, river, and sea defense works, roads and highways, railways, bridges and tunnels

Terms
• hazard means a source or a situation with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill-health, damage to property, damage to the environment, or a combination of these
• incident means an event that has the potential to harm or injure a person or the environment

Key preliminary findings of the 2011 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries
• Fatal work injuries in the private construction sector declined to 721 in 2011 from 774 in 2010, a decline of 7 percent and the fifth consecutive year of lower fatality counts. Fatal construction injuries are down nearly 42 percent since 2006

What Are The Most Frequent Causes of Deaths In Construction?
• OSHA has found that 90% of all construction fatalities result from 4 types of construction accidents:– Falls from elevation 33%– Struck by equipment/falling object 22%– Caught in/between 18%– Electrical shock 17%

Construction Workers at Top of World Trade Centre
• BBC 15 May 2013• Footage has been released of
the view from the steel spire at the top of One World Trade Center in New York.
• The final section of the 408-foot (125 meter) spire was installed on top of the building last week, making the building the tallest structure in the western hemisphere, at 1,776 feet (541 m) high.

Safety Pyramid
Occupational Health & Safety 14
OSHA Safety And Health Program
• OSHA’s General Industry Digest
• Four Major elements1. Management
commitment and employee involvement
2. Worksite analysis3. Hazard prevention and
control4. Safety and health training
Occupational Health & Safety 15
Management Commitment And Employee Involvement
• State clearly a worksite policy on safe and healthful work and working conditions
• Establish and communicate a clear goal for the safety and health program
• Provide visible top management involvement in implementing the program
• Assign and communicate responsibility for all aspects of the program
• Provide adequate authority and resources to responsible parties
• Hold managers, supervisors, and employees accountable
Occupational Health & Safety 16
Worksite Analysis• Conduct comprehensive
baseline worksite surveys for safety and health
• Analyze planned and new facilities, processes, materials, and equipment
• Perform routine job hazard analyses
• Investigate accidents and “near-miss” incidents
• Analyze injury and illness trends
Occupational Health & Safety 17
Hazard Prevention And Control• Use engineering techniques where
feasible and appropriate• Establish safe work practices and
procedures• Provide personal protective
equipment (PPE) when engineering controls are not feasible
• Use administrative controls, such as reducing the duration of exposure
• Plan and prepare for emergencies, and conduct training and emergency drills
• “Second Nature”• Establish a medical program that
includes first aid onsite and emergency medical care
Occupational Health & Safety 18
Safety and Health Training• Employee training• Supervisory training• Analyzing the work under
their supervision to anticipate and identify potential hazards
• Maintaining physical protections in their work areas
• Reinforcing employee training• Understanding their safety
and health responsibilities
Occupational Health & Safety 19
Program Evaluation
Signs and symptoms of gaps in a program can include• Accidents or near-miss
incidents that go unreported• Accidents or near-miss
incidents that are not investigated
• The absence of a preventive maintenance program for equipment and facilities
• Employee/supervisor attitude that production supersedes safety

Employer Benefits
• Lower Workers’ Compensation Costs• Enables Employer to Ensure Restrictions Are
Followed• Sends a Message That Workers’ Compensation
Is Not a Paid Vacation• Weeds Out Employees Looking for a Free Ride• Employees Return to Their Regular Jobs More
Quickly
Occupational Health & Safety 24
Employee Benefits
• Sends the Message That the Employee Is Valued
• Enhances the Employee’s Sense of Self-Worth• Eliminates the Psychological Effects of Idleness• Speeds Return to Regular Job• Provides for Rapid Resumption of Salary and
Other Interests
Occupational Health & Safety 25
Accident Investigations• Benefits of conducting accident
investigations• Identifies root causes of
accidents• Creates awareness• Evidences trends• Stimulates thoughts relative to
prevention• Demonstrates management
commitment and concern• Identifies weaknesses in the
safety program• Justifies expenditures
Occupational Health & Safety 26
Documenting the Accident Scene
• Written observations• Sketches• Photographs• Videotape• Acquiring witness
statements• Reviewing relevant
documentation
Occupational Health & Safety 27
Ergonomics or Human Factors
• The word ergonomics comes from Greek: ergo means work and nomos means law; therefore, “ergonomos” means “law of work.”
• Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.
