Why Safety is important?
Accident Statistics 2% are acts of God 88% are as a result of unsafe acts (human failure) 10% are due to unsafe conditions 98% could have been prevented by knowing how to recognize, correct and report unsafe acts and conditions.
Why is Workplace Safety Important? Every 15 seconds, a worker dies from a work-related accident or disease Every 15 seconds, 153 workers have a work related accident. 2.3 million deaths per year. 317 million accidents occur on the job annually. 1.4 million deaths per year in Asia Pacific Region

“No work is so important that it need be done without due consideration for safety.”
Workplaces that do not have a workplace safety plan Worry for safety Distrust of the executive Less interest in workplace
If an accident occur at work Loss of time, money and labour Delay time Company integrity Low order of product It is not easy to gain trust

Safe
The U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) has produced a comprehensive set of safety and health regulations , inspection procedures and record keeping requirements. The law has also established both civil and criminal penalties for violation of OSHA regulations.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 , employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace . OSHA’s mission is to ensure the protection of workers and prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths by setting and enforcing standards, and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance . Training in the safe way for workers to do their jobs well is an investment that will pay back over and over again in fewer injuries and illnesses, better morale , lower insurance premiums and more.
It is a good idea to keep a record of all safety and health training. Documentation can also supply an answer to one of the first questions an incident investigator will ask: “ Did the employee receive adequate training to do the job?” Under OSHA regulations employers are required to keep records of all work-related deaths, injuries, and illnesses . It is not only necessary to record minor injuries that require only first-aid treatment. However, all injuries involving medical treatment, loss of consciousness, restrictions on work or body motion, or transfer to another job must be recorded.
A special report of serious accidents resulting in one or more deaths or the hospitalization of five or more employees must be made to OSHA officials within 48 hrs . Thus even though an employee willfully violates both OSHA and company safety regulations , only the company and its management may enforce safety regulations is to discipline or fire workers engaging in unsafe acts. OSHA safety regulations for construction consist largely of safety standard developed by segments of the construction industry. Supervisors at all levels must be familiar with all applicable OSHA standards .
Penalties
Safety Programs All construction firms need a carefully planned and directed safety program to minimize accidents and ensure compliance with OSHA and other safety regulations. However, no safety program will be successful without the active support of top management. Job-site supervisors have traditionally neglected safety in their haste to get the job done on time and within budget. Only when supervisors are convinced by higher management that safety is equally as important as production will the benefits of an effective safety program be achieved.
Some indicators of unsafe and risky construction operation include: Failure to follow required safety procedures Poor housekeeping at the construction site Failure to use necessary personal protective equipment Evidence of inadequate worker training, particularly on hazardous operations High rate of employee turnover
Company Responsibility Have a safety plan Develop required rules Make necessary supported for project

Safety Procedures
Excavations The location of underground utilities and other hazards must be determined before starting an excavation. The sides of excavations must be properly shored or sloped to the angle of repose to prevent cave-ins. OSHA regulations require that banks over 5 ft must be shored, cut back to a stable slope, or otherwise protected. For excavation over 20 ft deep must be designed by a registered professional engineer.
Construction of structures Properly guard all openings above ground level. Properly guard rails, safety lines, safety belts and safety nets for workers on scaffolds or steelwork. Ensure that temporary structures are properly designed, constructed, and braced.
Environmental Health In Construction The major environmental health problems encountered in construction consist of noise, dust, radiation, toxic materials, heat and cold.
Tool Safety . Check your tools regularly for wear and damage Use the correct tool for the job Keep your tools clean and in good conditions Use appropriate safety equipment Keep hand clear of moving parts
