Observations Hazards and consequences
Control measures
Timescale
Immediate and longer term actions
24 Hours 1. Vehicle are moving very close to Pit excavations area at ground floor, Where No stable Concreate barricade In place. This can result in Fatality by suffocation or internal crush injuries a person falling into an excavation; a person being trapped by vehicles, storage of materials (including excavated material)
-Provide appropriative Warning Signage, (Speed Limit, Deep Excavation) -Speed Humps can be fixed to reduce the Speed. -Divert the traffic to different direction
2. Workers Unloading Concrete Block with Improper body posture from Truck to foundation basement storage area
-Provide Suitable handling aid to carry the
Manual handling will led to server back Injury over period of time, Work Related Upper limb disorder (WRULD), Fatigue.
-Provide Safe Manual Handling training
3. Workers were doing hand Drilling activity while using Work platform (poor erected scaffolding) without guard rails, near 4 metre height using a badly constructed work platform. People falling and objects falling onto people below. These may occur as a result of inadequate edge protection,
Concrete Block to minimize the manual handling risk.
