Cranes - Construction Safety

Hazard: Significant and serious injuries may occur if cranes are not inspected before use and if they are not used properly. Often these injuries occur when a worker is struck by an overhead load or caught within the crane's swing radius. Many crane fatalities occur when the boom of a crane or its load line contact an overhead power line.

Solutions:

• Check all crane controls to insure proper operation before use.
• Inspect wire rope, chains and hook for any damage.
• Know the weight of the load that the crane is to lift.
• Ensure that the load does not exceed the crane's rated capacity.
• Raise the load a few inches to verify balance and the effectiveness of the brake system.
• Check all rigging prior to use; do not wrap hoist ropes or chains around the load.
• Fully extend outriggers.
• Do not move a load over workers.
• Barricade accessible areas within the crane's swing radius.
• Watch for overhead electrical distribution and transmission lines and maintain a safe working clearance of at least 10 feet from energized electrical lines.

AVOIDING SLIPS,TRIPS AND FALLS TABLE

Hazard	Control
Spillage (wet or dry)	Clean up spills immediately, ensuring that suitable cleaning materials and chemicals are used in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions. Suitable ‘wet floor’ signage must be displayed and areas may need to be cordoned off.
Trailing wires and cables	Ensure fixed equipment is sited to prevent cables crossing pedestrian routes. Restrict employee/pedestrian access. Avoid, for example, cleaning during times of pedestrian access. Provide appropriate warning signs. Use cable covers and/or securely fix to surfaces.
Accumulation/rubbish	Prevent the build up of accumulations by frequency of emptying containers. Provide adequate sized suitably covered containers.
Carpets/mats	Fix securely, replace when worn or holed and prevent curling edges. Replace by more suitable material e.g. rubber.
Slippery surfaces	Determine the cause and apply appropriate treatment. Replace surfaces. Provide appropriate warning signs. When caused by moving from a wet area to a dry floor surface, suitable footwear should, be provided where possible. Suitable mats may be provided at point of change.
Inadequate lighting	Provide additional lighting and/or increase levels of illumination. Provide increased natural lighting, e.g. glass panels or windows.
Changes of level	Highlight changes, for example, by painting suitable markings or conspicuous tread nosings. Provide better lighting and warning signs.

Good Housekeeping - Minimise the Risk of Fire in a Workplace

The control of highly combustible materials and sources of ignition must be coupled with high standards of housekeeping to ensure that combustible materials in any form, but particularly waste, do not present a fire risk. This applies to all areas of work since waste materials can accumulate in any circumstances and a build-­up of dust and dirt can easily provide the fuel for fire in the right circumstances. 

The accumulation of process waste, contaminated rags, packing materials and other paper products, and general refuse and dust must be prevented Oily, flammable and combustible rags are particular problems in many workplaces as they are easily ignited and may even ignite spontaneously; they should be placed in metal containers with fitting lids.

Routine Housekeeping should ensure that:

• Waste bins are emptied regularly so that there is no accumulation of combustible materials.
• Cupboards, liftshafts, spaces beneath conveyors, stairs, benches and gratings are regularly cleaned and kept free of litter and rubbish.
• Safe disposal of all waste materials is arranged. “Unofficial” rubbish burning must be banned.

A Simple Risk-Based Control plan

RISK LEVEL	ACTION AND TIMESCALE
TRIVIAL	No action is required and no documentary records need to be kept
TOLERABLE	No additional controls are required. Consideration may be given to a more cost-effective solution or improvement that imposes no additional cost burden. Monitoring is required to ensure that the controls are maintained.
MODERATE	Efforts should be made to reduce the risk, but the costs of prevention should be carefully measured and limited. Risk reduction measures should be implemented within a defined time period. Where the moderate risk is associated with extremely harmful consequences, further assessment may be necessary to establish more precisely the likelihood of harm as a basis for determining the need for improved control measures.
SUBSTANTIAL	Work should not be started until the risk has been reduced. Considerable resources may have to be allocated to reduce the risk. Where the risk involves work in progress, urgent action should be taken.
INTOLERABLE	Work should not be started or continued until the risk has been reduced. If it is not possible to reduce risk even with unlimited resources, work has to remain prohibited.

Measuring Exposure in Units - POSHE

The two main units used for measuring airborne concentrations are:

• Parts per million (ppm)
• Milligrams per cubic metre of air (mg/m power of 3, or mg m power of ‐3)

The gaseous state (vapours and gases) is measured in ppm and refers to the number of parts of vapour or gas of a substance in a million parts of air by volume, measured at a standard temperature and pressure (usually 25°C and 760 mm Hg, respectively). Particulate matter in dusts, fumes, etc. is measured in mg/m3, which refers to the milligrams of the substance per cubic metre of air.

One further unit of measurement is used in relation to fibres (such as asbestos). Concentrations of fibres are expressed in:

• Fibres Per Millilitre of air (fibres ml ­power of ‐1)

Identifying the population at risk - POSHE

A suitable and sufficient risk assessment needs to identify all those that are potentially at risk and how. When considering who is at risk it is important to r all those who may be affected by the activity being assessed, not just those directly involved. Therefore the assessment would need to consider; 

• Employees 
• Maintenance staff 
• Cleaners 
• Contractors, 
• Visitors
• General public 

Within these groups there might be specific groups at risk such as young persons, new or expectant mothers and disabled persons (learning or physical disability) - see later in this section.

FIRE TETRAHEDRON

There are basic 3 element need to produce fire.

• HEAT
• FUEL
• OXYGEN

if one of component is not presents the fire will not created.

Beside 3 elements there is forth element which is essential for continuation of fire once ignited.this is known as "CHAIN REACTION".

Once fire occurs the burned substunce produce lots of heat which tends to burn remaining fuel substance.this reaction occurs again and again.which is called "chain reaction"

Fire is OXIDATION process which produce heat its is also called EXOTHERMIC reaction..

OXIDATION = EXOTHERMIC R. = PRODUCE HEAT.
REDUCTION = ENDOTHERMIC R. = ABSORB HEAT.
