Safety Management

Safety is one of the vital issues in the success of the project . Safety programme ensures the worker to be mentally and physically prepared to execute a job quickly ,fearlessly and efficiently . Safety is a way of life . It must be part of every individual at every time during performance of any activity .

Working in a fearless protected environment makes the team to be more productive and efficient . Safety is an important parameter to measure a project , as cost of implementation and time of completion of the project . Although every manager , supervisor , worker accept their safety requirement , but it is by-passed by just lip service . Construction is highly accident prone industry .

In India , construction industry is labour intensive , with unskilled and untrained worker . Fatal accidents and minor accidents are very frequent . For example , it has been reported that more than two people died in the construction of dam like Bhakhara-Nangal project .

In out country , in construction work , a large number of inexperienced laborers are employed . They are unaware of the hazard during their work and generally the company hardly make an effort to explain this worker's inherent risk involved with the job . Medical check-up of the workers is not carried out before engaging them in the construction work .

Also , many accidents occur due to the use of improper tools and equiptments . Improper methods and processes are used to cut the time of execution. Such as scaffoldings are not properly made , ladders are not checked properly . Many a time poor quality of safety belts are used , which gets broken during accident .
