2. What is HAZARD ?
A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life,
health, property, or environment.
3. What is Industrial Hazard ?
Condition produced by industries that may cause injury or death
to personnel or loss of product or property.
Types of Industrial Hazards:
1. Chemical Hazards
2. Physical Hazards
3. Biological Hazards
4. Types of Industrial Hazards:
1. Chemical Hazard:
Any substance that can cause harm, primarily to people.
2. Physical Hazard:
A type of occupational hazard that involves environmental hazards that
can cause harm with or without contact.
It includes ergonomic hazards, radiation, heat and cold stress, vibration
hazards, and noise hazards.
3. Biological Hazard:
Refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living
organisms, primarily that of humans.
This includes medical waste or samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin
(from a biological source) that can affect human health.
5. Managing Industrial Hazards:
Hazard Management System
Setting up of HMS
HMS is the basis for ensuring that
installations are safely designed,
built, maintained, modified and
operated.
Structure of
HMS

8. Construction Accidents: cont …
Main Triggering Factors:
D.U.T.C.H
Distraction
Unfamiliarity
Tiredness
Complacency
Hurry
9. Construction Accidents: cont …
Breakdown of fatalities according to accident type:
56% fall from height
21% trapped by something collapsing or overturning
10% struck by a moving vehicle
5% contact with electricity
4% struck by falling objects during machine lifting of materials
3% contact with moving machinery
1% exposure to a hot or harmful substance
10. Construction Accidents: cont …
Few Facts:
First week on each site is the most dangerous
Accidents are more frequent at the end of the day
Small building jobs are the most risky
Safety Helmets, Hi-viz Jackets, Safety Boots ; do prevent injury and death
Light weight shoes are not suitable at such sites
Roofs are always a risky place at construction site
11. Construction Accidents: cont …
Special care needed during mentioned practises:
Assure safe access on site
Working at height and edges of buildings
Using ladders and scaffoldings
Using any chemical on site
Evacuation works
Lifting or handling of heavy materials
Working near or with crane
Working with electric wires or equipment
Working near fire works
PPE on construction site should me MUST.
Under no circumstances worker should put himself in
DANGER.
