Majority of accident that happens in the construction site is due to the fact that more personnel involved in the construction activities lack the basic knowledge of the various job step, the hazards and the control measures for each hazard
Majority of accident that happens in the construction site is due to the fact that more personnel involved in the construction activities lack the basic knowledge of the various job step, the hazards and the control measures for each hazard
The Work Method of Statement, Risk Assessment & Job Safety Analysis (JSA) will cover this gap by giving the people the necessary training, information etc… about each job (task) and how to carry it out without accidents
Every work activities shall have a corresponding Work Method of Statement prepared by the task Supervisor or task Manager.
Risk Assessment shall be done with respect to the corresponding hazard that will be analyzed and mitigating measures during job hazard analysis.
JSA will be conducted to break down each job steps into safe more detailed procedures.
Risk Assessment is an extremely useful tool in providing a framework in which to identify the potential hazards & evaluate the risks associated with all our activities.
Risk Assessment now forms a routine element in education & training within the Project.

This can de done:
Reactively by accident investigation, or
Proactively by carrying out risk assessments
Risk assessment enables the identification of those events or activities, which could cause harm & evaluation of the associated risks.
