Why manage Health & Safety ?
ILO Facts:
According to International Labor Organization
Around the World millions of men and women work in poor
and hazardous conditions
More than 160 million workers fall ill each year due to
workplace hazards
Small enterprises account for over 90% of enterprises
where conditions are often very poor and the workers in
them are often excluded from all labor protection.

11. Health & Safety Management
Why manage Health & Safety ?
Three Good Reasons:
There are clear, pressing reasons why businesses should effectively
manage health and safety
1. Costs (Financial Loss)
2. Humanitarian and Moral reasons
3. To Avoid Prosecution
12. Health & Safety Management
Reason 1: Costs (Financial)
The true cost of accidents is a lot higher than most people realise.
Cost of failure is not easy to calculate, but includes:
Medical Treatment
Accident investigation,
Replacement labour,
Loss of reputation,
Compensation,
Increased Insurance premium
Studies have shown that the true cost of accidents were as
much as 37% of the annual profit in one organisation
13. Health & Safety Management
Reason 2: Humanitarian and Moral reasons
Our lives depends on what
we do at work. As a
human being We all
(Employers / Employees)
have moral obligation not
to cause harm to others.
Employers have the moral
obligation towards their
employees and others.
14. Health & Safety Management
Reason 3: To avoid prosecution
Employers & Employees showing negligence towards
health and safety regulations resulting in accidents
may serve a severe penalties or/and imprisonment.
Supervisor jailed after crane collapses on workers
by Amy Glass on Sunday, 06 July 2008
CRANE KILLINGS:A Doha court has jailed a construction site
supervisor for two years after a crane collapsed, killing four men and
injured three others, Qatar daily Gulf Times reported on Sunday.
The supervisor, from Syria, and his employer were also fined 20,000 Qatari
riyals ($5,499) each for the accident which killed three Filipino men and
one Indian man.
The accident occurred on March 19, 2007, when a crane being operated
for the first time tilted and fell upon the workers at a construction site near
the West Bay, Doha.
The supervisor, his employer and insurance firm were jointly ordered to
pay 150,000 Qatari riyals as ‘blood money’ to families of three of the
victims, the newspaper said.

Cost and Consequences of Accident
17. Health & Safety Management
Cost and consequences of accident
Direct costs:
Hospitalization charges
Family suffering , Loss of job
Lost man days
Sick leave pay
Indirect costs:
Investigation cost
Loss of wages
Cost of damage to equipments
Idle time of equipment and machinery
Low productivity due to low morale of
workers
Improvement costs
Cost of low output by new worker
Costs for redesigning workplace
Replacement of worker / equipment
Retraining cost
Delay in work / stoppage of work
Fines
Compensations / blood money
cost of reputation of company , morale
which ultimately results in poor industrial
relations and loss of goodwill in the
market. And many more…

Cost and consequences of accidents
20. Health & Safety Management
Definitions:
• Incident: An unplanned and undesired work related event in which
harm occurred or could have occurred.
o Accident: An accident is an incident, which has given rise to injury,
ill health or fatality.
o Nearmiss / Near-hit / Dangerous Occurrence: an incident where
no harms occurred
• LTA (Lost Time Accidents): a work related injury causing disablement
extending 48 hrs beyond the day or shift on which the accident
occurred.
Or simply, More than 3 days (including the day of accident)
disablement due to work Injury.
21. Health & Safety Management
Accident Causation Theory
As per Henrich
• 88% of the accident are caused by unsafe act and
10% by unsafe condition.
• For every accident resulting in an injury, there are
many other similar accidents that causes no injuries.
ACCIDENT ANALYSIS
UNSAFE CONDITION

• It is estimated by him that in a group of 330
accidents of the same kind involving the same
person and similar circumstances,
300 result in no injury,
29 in minor injury and
one in a major/ lost time/fatality.

So, how the major accidents can be prevented at sites…?
98% of accidents could be prevented by correcting the unsafe act and unsafe condition.
This proves that there are sample of opportunities for preventing accidents.
22. Health & Safety Management
Major causes of accidents in construction
1. Fall from Height
2. Fall of Materials
3. Structure collapse
4. Fire
5. Electrocution
6. Vehicle /
machineries related
7. Other reasons
Fall from height is the biggest
killer in construction industries.
50% of all accidents are caused
due fall from height.

For every accident there is a preventable cause …. Find & Fix the cause BEFORE the accident
25. Health & Safety Management
Any act which deviates from accepted norm or
correct procedure or practice, which has a
potential to cause accident.
UNSAFE ACTION
Operating without authority
Working on unprotected area
Failure to use PPE
Use of drug / alcohol
Improper lifting
Improper loading
Failure to warn person
Horseplay
26. Health & Safety Management
Any physical condition which deviates from
accepted norm or practice and has the
potential to cause accident.
UNSAFE CONDITION
Inadequate supports or guards
Defective tools, equipment or supplies
Inadequate warning system
Poor housekeeping
Hazardous atmospheric conditions
Poor illumination/ventilation
Slippery floors
Excessive noise …….
27. Health & Safety Management
SEQUANCE OF ACCIDENT OCCURANCE
The basic theory of accident occurrence -
1. An accident occurs due to an unsafe act or unsafe
condition or both.
2. Unsafe acts and unsafe conditions exist because of
human faults.
3. Faults of human are inherited due to
Lack of knowledge and skill
Lack of supervision
Improper mechanical and physical
environment
Whenever an accident occurs there is always a
chain of events that occur in a logical and fixed
order

2. ORGANISING To make an effective health and safety policy an organisation needs to
get staff involved and committed. This is often referred to as a 'positive
health and safety culture'.
4 Cs for Positive Health & Safety Culture:
Competence: recruitment, training , Qualification,
Experience, Knowledge.
Commitments & Control: allocating responsibilities,
securing commitment, instruction and supervision.
Co-operation: internally between individuals, groups,
departments including consultation with health and safety
representatives and externally between clients, suppliers,
contractors etc.
Communication: spoken, written and visible.
32. Health & Safety Management
HSG 65 Health & Safety Management System
Engineer / Foremen Responsibilities in the context of a Generic HSE Plan:
1. Understanding the compliance of this safety plan and following the same in the day-to-
day activities.
2. Giving daily safety instructions to the workmen as a part of each job instructions,
highlighting the possible hazards and the necessary precautions to be taken.
3. Complying HSE Officer/Engineer’s recommendations given in his daily observation report
4. Maintaining work area neat and clean, with specific attention working at heights
keeping free from loose materials.
5. Taking an active part in the site safety meetings, when required.
6. Preventing horseplay of workmen.
7. Organizing “toolbox” talks to the workmen on a weekly basis and maintaining records
8. Identifying and eliminating all unsafe conditions in the work area by carrying out safety
inspections in the work area on a daily basis.
9. Sending the workmen employed by them on the first day itself to the HSE
Officer/Engineer for giving safety induction.
10.Maintaining all accident preventative measures in place and reporting any accidents /
incidents as required.
33. Health & Safety Management
HSG 65 Health & Safety Management System
3. PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION
Planning is the key to ensuring that your health and safety efforts really work.
Planning for health and safety involves
1. Setting objectives,
2. Identifying hazards,
3. Assessing risks,
4. Safety procedures for hazardous operation
5. Implementing standards of performance and
6. Developing a positive culture.
It is often useful to record plans in writing.
Every AMANA projects are maintaining a project specific HSE Plan. We must
refer it to improve our HSE culture.
34. Health & Safety Management
HSG 65 Health & Safety Management System
4. MEASURING PERFORMANCE
Measurement is essential to maintain and improve health and safety performance.
Two ways of measuring performance are
Workplace inspections
Environmental monitoring
Safety tours
Progress monitoring of objectives
Performance reviews
Review of training assessments
Management system audits
Health surveillance
Active / Proactive Monitoring:
Active monitoring is a way of looking at things before
things go wrong / Accidents
35. Health & Safety Management
HSG 65 Health & Safety Management System
4. MEASURING PERFORMANCE
Reactive Monitoring: after something goes wrong;
Reactive monitoring measures failure (accidents, incidents, damage
to property, unsafe conditions)
Accident investigation
Accident incident rates
Ill health incident rates
Accident frequency rates
Accident severity rates
Sickness absence
Property or product damage
Incidents / near misses
36. Health & Safety Management
HSG 65 Health & Safety Management System
5. REVIEWING PERFORMANCE
Internal and external audits complement
monitoring activities by determining whether the
health and safety policy, organisation and
systems are actually achieving the required
reliability and effectiveness.
An audit is not intended to identify all of the
hazards, it is intended as an evaluation of health
and safety management systems.

Hierarchy of Control
40. Health & Safety Management
Risk assessment is the process of identifying
and evaluating a hazard to determine the
level of action required to reduce a risk to
an acceptable level.
Risk Assessment
It is nothing more than a careful
examination of workplace Hazard, so that
we can evaluate whether the we have
taken enough precautions or are required
to take additional precautions, to prevent
harm occurring.
Uncontrolled Hazard
Risk / Harm
Controlled Hazards
41. Health & Safety Management
Hazard: Something with the potential to cause harm such as
A source – working at height,
A substance –handling of chemicals,
A part of a machine – circular saw blade,
A method of work – lifting method,
A form of energy, or a situation – overburden on the edge of excavation
Risk Assessment
42. Health & Safety Management
Risk is expressed as: Likelihood of
Occurrence × Severity of Hazard = Risk
And the results are expressed in term of
quantity such as high risk, medium risk
and low risk.
Risk:
Risk Assessment
Harm:
Includes death, injury, physical or mental ill health,
damage to property or the environment, loss of
production or any combination of these
A measure of the likelihood that the
harm from a particular hazard will
occur, taking into account the
possible severity of the harm.
43. Health & Safety Management
FIVE steps to RISK ASSESSMENT
1. Look for the Hazards
2. Decide who might be harmed and in what circumstances
3. Evaluate the risks, and the adequacy of existing controls
4. Record the significant findings
5. Review the assessment
1. Look for the Hazards
- Hazard type – Physical, Chemical, Biological, agronomical
- Hazard Sources – Materials, Equipments, Environment, People
- Hazard identification techniques – Workplace inspection,
Manufacturer instruction, MSDS
44. Health & Safety Management
2. Decide who might be harmed and in what circumstances
include visitors, public and new workers
3. Evaluate the risks, and the adequacy of existing controls
Consider the likelihood and severity
See the adequacy of existing control
Consider Legal requirements, Generally accepted industry
standards
Make the risk smaller
4. Record the significant findings
5. Review the assessment
in case of new machine, substances and procedure introduced
new legal requirements
FIVE steps to RISK ASSESSMENT
46. Health & Safety Management
Term Injury type Value
Negligible Minor injury requiring no first-aid, no loss of materials 1
Firs-Aid Injury First-aid treatment required, no further loss of time 2
Minor Injury Injured person resumes his duties within 3 days.(< 3 days) 3

Constant exposure - Happens regularly on this site
5 Very likely Workers expected to use control measures every time (say PPE)
4 Likely Workers expected to adjust control measures every time
3 May happen
Control measures may break down, e.g. machinery or other
workers not taking required action
2 Unlikely
Multiple control measures where failure of one does not create
harm
1 Very unlikely Control measures unlikely to break down or be easily removed
Likelihood of harm:
Severity is the degree or
extent of injury or harm
caused by the hazards, or
as a result of an accident
Severity of harm:
Likelihood / Probability
of occurrence of an
accident or incident
or ill health
High (17-36)
Review urgently required to determine whether the risk can be removed or reduced, or the controls
improved
Medium (8-16)
Risks not acceptable, hazards and controls need investigation to consider reasonable practicable
improvements
Low (1-7) Acceptable
Risk Rating:
47. Health & Safety Management
Example – Working at Height
The probability of falling off an edge is more likely the closer you are working to it
Likelihood = X
Severity = Y
Likelihood = X+X
Severity = Y
Likelihood = X+X+X
Severity = Y
SEVERETY - unchanged
48. Health & Safety Management
Safe system of work
“A safe system of work is a formal procedure (refer – Safety
Plan, Operation control procedures, general procedures)
which results from a systematic examination of the task in
order to identify all the hazards.
It defines safe methods to ensure that hazards are eliminated
or risks minimised.”
Develop a safe system of work
1. Analyse the task
MEEP (Materials, Equipment and Plant, Environment, People)
2. Implement the system
3. Monitor the system
49. Health & Safety Management
High risk activities including
Excavation
Hot work
Confined space entry
Live working
Hazardous areas
Maintenance operations
Pressurized systems
Permit to work
A PTW, part of safe system of work is a documented control system
requiring written confirmation that certain actions have been carried out
to eliminate or control the risks before a significant high risk activities.

Project / Site Engineer can be a PTW Issuer.
Permit Receiver: One who is authorized to
receive PTW, he must attend the required
safety trainings and approved by Project
Manager.
Foreman / Technician can be a PTW
Receiver.
52. Health & Safety Management
General Hierarchy of Control Measures
The detailed management strategy identified in the principles of
prevention and is used specifically in the RISK ASSESSMENT to
decide the most effective measures in a particular situation.
The H&S measures should be considered in the following order of priority –
a useful memory aide is : ERIC Prevents Death)
53. Health & Safety Management
Eliminate the Hazards:
Eliminate the task, e.g.;
- Buying a readymade components instead of homemade
Eliminate the hazard, e.g.;
- Using water instead of solvent based paints,
- Using mechanical lifting instead of manual lifting.
Reduce the Risk:
- Using 110 V electrical equipment instead of 240 V,
- Substituting a solvent based adhesive with water based
adhesive.
- Making 2 loads of 25 kg instead of one load of 50kg.

Isolate the hazard and people
Isolate the hazard i.e. by enclosing or containing it. E.g.
- Guarding dangerous part of machine,
- Enclosing noisy part of machine,
Segregate the people i.e. keep the people away from the
hazard e.g.;
- Erecting barriers around excavation,
- Fitting guardrails to scaffolds,

Control
Engineering control i.e. using engineering design to reduce the risks
e.g.
- Local exhaust ventilation to remove contamination,
- Using a RCD.
Changing work pattern or method e.g.; developing job rotation
systems to reduce exposure;
- Using noisy machine for short time only each day;
- Providing exclusion zones to reduce the number of person
exposed to a hazard;

PPE: this is least effective means of controlling hazards
All other options should be considered first and should be arranged wherever
possible PPE may then be used as a means of protecting from the risks that remain or
as a back up to the measured provided.
Giving priority to Collective protective measures over individual protective
measures. E.g.;
-local exhaust ventilation systems rather provision of PPE (only)
Discipline: Discipline refers to the discipline of the individual workers to follow the system of
work in place and their training. e.g.;
- Obtain compliance with rules and following procedures.

Projections & obstacles – protected
Lighting – adequate
Material storage – safe stacking
Warning signs – suitable and sufficient
Ventilation – adequate
Waste – controlled accumulation
Escape routes – suitably identified
Safe systems of work – maintained
Emergency equipment – suitable, sufficient & persons
trained in use.
63. Health & Safety Management
Information & Instruction:
An effective means to motivate the employees towards safety.
As multilingual, multicultural employees are with us, therefore verities of
communication media should be used to overcome language barriers
and the inability of some employees to read
IITS – Information, Instruction, Training & Supervision
Formal - Safety
committees, audits,
inspections, Risk
assessments,
training etc
Informal - On the job
training, toolbox talks
Written - Minutes of
meetings,
newsletters, memos
Verbal - Instructions,
SSs of W, SOPs
Visual - Posters,
safety signs, hazard
warnings on
machinery, colour
coding
64. Health & Safety Management
Training:
A best techniques to motivate the employees towards safety for a positive H&S
culture.
General Types of trainings:
1. Safety Induction Training
2. Daily / Weekly Tool Box Talk
3. Job Specific Training
4. 3rd Party Approved Safety Training
Training will give the employee a boost to his confidence while performing the
task.
Appropriate job skill & positive orientation of mind helps to reduce incident
rate.
Legal requirements – to inform significant
workplace hazards and measures
65. Health & Safety Management
Supervision
Accident trends can be strongly influenced by providing
adequate training and supervision to control the worker and
his environment.
An ideal Supervisor:
1. Follow general Duty of Care
2. Perform as per his Safety Responsibilities
3. Observe hazards in his area
4. Communicate Safety Measures to his
employees
5. Report accidents / incidents
6. Believe – Safety is a team work and it is
everybody responsibility
66. Health & Safety Management
11 SAFETY PRINCIPLES FOR SUPERVISION
Plan safety into every job.
Anticipate the unexpected - Anticipate.
Identify hazards before an injury occurs.
Correct unsafe acts or conditions on the spot.
Discourage unsafe behaviors, Encourage Safe Behaviors!!
Promote incident reporting in the early stages.
Ensure employees have the proper tools for the job.
Ensure employees follow established safety procedures.
Conduct frequent safety inspections in the field.
Consult with your safety representative when necessary.
Give positive reinforcement for safe work.
67. Health & Safety Management
Safety should be managed like other company function. Management
should direct the safety effort by setting achievable goals, by planning,
organizing and controlling to achieve them.
The key to effective line safety performance is management procedures
that fix accountability.
Basic Principle of Safety
Safety performance must be accurately measured. This measurement
must be proactive.
Safety is line management responsibility. Line managers / supervisors must
be held accountable for their group’ performance.
The organization must do whatever is necessary to ensure safety and
well being of its employee.
