 10. ACCIDENT
INVESTIGATION &
REPORTING
PROCEDURES

30
10.1 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
 There are many legal and economic reasons for investigating accidents. The results of any
Investigation should however be used to help prevent a recurrence by indicating modification to
procedures, premises, training or supervision.
 All accidents should be investigated. Study of incidents producing minor injuries or near misses can
often reveal a major hazard. The depth of investigation will depend upon the degree of injury or
damage but should primarily depend upon the basic hazard. Action to eliminate the hazard can only
be taken when it has been determined following investigation.

10.2 THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER,

The manager or officer in charge should investigate any accident. These officers will be referred to
in this memo as IO.

10.3- THE INVESTIGATION

 The IO should look at: -

 the action taken to prevent a recurrence;
 the cause of injury;
 the chain of events leading to the accident, thus allowing the main contributory factor to be
identified;
 whether there was a breach of any statutory requirements under the building and other
construction workers act 1996 (BOCW act 1996) and other statutory instruments;
 whether there was any breach of GODREJ safety instructions;
 Whether the investigation has revealed any other hazard or weakness.
 The IO should visit the scene of the accident as soon as possible. Where the accident has occurred
on the IO should question witnesses, carry out physical tests as necessary and clarify technical
queries within his/her competence. When problems arise
 Outside the IO’s competence he/she should seek advice from a technical officer with the necessary
expertise to deal with the matter.
 It should be made clear to any witness at the commencement of the enquiry that the object is to
prevent a recurrence of the accident and not to apportion blame. There is no legal power to compel
a witness to answer questions. All Witnesses are entitled, if they wish, to be accompanied by
anyone of their choice when being questioned. If, during the course of the investigation, any breach
of statutory requirements, GODREJ safety instructions or staff rules is identified remedial action
should be taken immediately.
 When all enquiries have been completed, the IO should consider what local instructions (if any) are
necessary to prevent recurrence of the accident.

10.4 RECORDING ACCIDENTS TO STAFF

1. The injured employee, or someone acting on their behalf, must complete an accident
Record as soon as they can. Completed accident records should be detached from this book and
passed to the Safety Officer.
2. As soon as an entry is made in the accident book it should be taken to the office by Manager who
will makes arrangements for any necessary investigation to be undertaken.

31
10.5 ACCIDENT REPORTING
The most important reason for reporting accidents is prevention of future occurrences due to
similar factors. The information in reports will suggest modifications in procedures, Premises,
training or supervision. To that end the investigation of the occurrence should be carried out as
detailed in 7 to 10. As the report may be used to determine a client’s right to an incapacity
allowance from GODREJ it must be completed as quickly as possible after an accident that causes
the client to lose time beyond the date on which the accident occurred.

10.6 Incident Reporting procedures:

It is the responsibility of the concerned site engineer to inform the safety department about the
incident/dangerous occurrences or near miss cases or the incident took place

Any incident (including near misses, dangerous occurrences) to be reported as soon as it occurs and
investigation report to be submitted within 24 hours.

Procedure:

 If an accident / dangerous occurrence occur, Site Safety Officer conducts an on-spot investigation
of the same at the earliest after receiving preliminary accident report or informs information to that
effect.

 Site Safety Officer tries to find out as many direct causes and indirect contributory causes of the
accident or dangerous occurrence as possible from the concerned site personnel and on spot
physical conditions.

 Conclusions are drawn from the facts collected during the investigation and precautionary measures
to prevent similar accident / dangerous occurrences.

 The investigation report in the prescribed format duly filled in and signed by Site Safety Officer is
forwarded to site In charge, Project Manager,

10.7 OTHER DANGEROUS OCCURRENCES

Other dangerous occurrences, which are not modifiable to the HSE, should be reported by the IO to
the Departments Health and Safety Officer. Report of an accident and/or dangerous occurrence and
injuries sustained.

10.8- Records:

Near Miss Accident Report -

Preliminary Accident Report -

Accident Investigation Report -

11. OCCUPATIONAL
HEALTH MEASURES

33
Occupational health services should propose appropriate prevention and control measures for the
elimination of hazardous exposures and for protecting workers' health. Control measures should be
adequate to prevent unnecessary exposure during normal operating conditions, as well as during
possible accidents and emergencies.

Guidelines for preventive actions for management and control of health and safety hazards and risks:

11.1 Pre-entry medical checkup and periodical medical camps/checkups for workers to be
conducted.

11.2 In planning the use of the territory of a construction site, the following shall be indicated:
 The location of office rooms and non-work rooms on the site;
 The places for the unloading and storage of erection material;
 The places for the storage and disposal or removal of waste and debris. This requirement is
particularly important if waste from dangerous chemicals and materials containing such
chemicals is generated during the work;
 The location of installations and equipment;
 The dimensions of routes for passage and movement, and their location, lighting and
maintenance;
 The access routes for rescue and ambulance crews in the event of an accident;
The location of emergency routes and exits.

11.3 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):

 A protective helmet is mandatory on a construction site in and where, due to the work
technology, the risk of head injury exists.
 Safety belts equipped with safety ropes shall be used while working on scaffolding, roofs and
work platforms and in other places where falling from a height cannot be prevented by other
safety measures. If the length of the rope often needs to be adjusted, self-adjusting safety ropes
shall be used.
 Non-slippery and non-penetrable safety footwear shall generally be used on construction sites.
Kneepads shall be used while working on the floor or during other work involving kneeling.
 If work is performed in the dark or underground, a reflex reflector or a reflector-band shall be
worn on clothing. If work is performed in places near traffic, the worker shall wear a bright
waistcoat or clothing and, in the dark, also a reflector-band. A reflector-band shall be attached
in a visible place and, if necessary, also to a protective helmet
 If workers have to enter a high-risk area where the atmosphere contains a dangerous chemical,
has an insufficient oxygen level or is inflammable, the
Workers shall use personal protective equipment to prevent any damage to their health. The
activities of the workers shall be watched from outside

MITIGATION
PROCEDURES

38
HSE Risk Assessment & Safe Work method
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so
that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm.
Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a failure to take reasonable
control measures. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if output is lost,
machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase, or you have to go to court. You are legally required to
assess the risks in your workplace so that you put in place a plan to control the risks.

Follow the five steps in this

Step 1- Identify the hazards

Step 2- Decide who might be harmed and how
Step 3- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
Step 4- Record your findings and implement them
Step 5- Review your assessment and update if necessary

17. MAINTENANCE OF
REGIME FOR
CONSTRUCTION
EQUIPEMENT AND
59
 MACHINEY

Maintenance of regime for construction equipment and machinery:

Introduction to maintenance:

Maintenance can be defined as working on something to keep it in a functioning and safe state and
preserving it from failure or decline. The “something “could be a workplace, work equipment.

 Preventive – or proactive – maintenance is carried out to keep something functional. This type
of activity is usually planned and scheduled.
 Corrective – or reactive – maintenance is repairing something to get it working again. This is
an unscheduled, unplanned task, usually associated with greater hazards and higher risk levels.
Maintenance is not the exclusive domain of fitters and mechanics it is the responsibility of all.
Works in every sector and is carried out in almost every working environment.
Workers’ health and safety can be affected during the maintenance process, but also by lack of
maintenance or inadequate maintenance. Design of equipment and the work area also has a
significant impact on the health and safety of workers performing maintenance.

Hazards and risks associated with poorly maintained portable tools on

Construction sites:
Poorly maintained portable tools in construction (either hand tools or powered tools) present
significant health and safety risks to the workers using them. These risks are proportional to the
state of repair of the tools and increase through time. Ad hoc repair of damaged equipment is
often carried out on construction sites to keep the work going. Such repairs are frequently done
in hurry, in an offhand manner, often involving improvised solutions (e.g. replacing a fuse with
a nail, taping up damaged electric cable). Unprofessionally repaired equipment can be
dangerous.

Hazards and risks induced by lack of or inadequate maintenance include:

Hand tools:

60
  Mechanical failure or loss of control when using a tool with defective parts. Examples of
unsafe tools are hammers with loose or damaged heads, screwdrivers with broken
handles or blunt edges, chisels with mushroomed heads, and blunt saws.

Power tools:
 Malfunctioning of safety devices such as emergency button (red button), protective covers,
guards, etc. In case of emergency these devices will not work properly or will provide limited
protection to the worker, which in some cases can be worse than no protection at all because it
gives a false sense of security.
 Risks of electrocution, shock or burns due to electrical malfunctions, torn cables and lack of
proper insulation or proper earthing.
 Cracked or broken grinding wheels or cracked blades can cause injuries. E.g. cracked abrasive
wheels could fly apart in operation, which could lead to serious injury or death.
 Emissions of chemical substances such as toxic fumes or dust, etc.
 Noise and vibration emitted by almost all portable tools that can lead to hearing loss and hand–
arm vibration syndrome respectively. Vibration can cause “white-finger” disease,
 This arises from damage to the muscles and nerves that control the blood flow. Poorly
maintained tools can cause a significant increase in noise and vibration emissions (e.g. a
cutting tool that is not sharp emits higher levels of vibration). Also, damaged anti-vibration
mountings in a tool can increase transmission of vibration to the worker

Preventing hazards associated with the use of hand and power tools through maintenance:

Constant care and adequate maintenance and storage are essential for the safe use of portable tools at
construction sites. In practice, this involves daily visual inspections aimed at detecting signs of possible
fault; for example, oil or coolant leaks, structural cracks, or cutting-edge wear. This also includes the
mechanical adjusting and tune-up of equipment and the detection and correction of small problems
before they become major problems. Items requiring attention should be reported.

Some basic rules to prevent hazards associated with the use of hand and power tools are:

 Examine each tool for damage before use

 Check that the guards are present and secure
 Check wheels and blades for cracks
 Check electrical cords, connections, earthing. It is essential that the earth core of the flexible
cable and associated earth connections of portable electric tools are tested regularly by a
competent person to ensure continuity and strength of the earthing.
 All portable tools that are damaged should be removed from use and tagged “Do Not Use”

 Keep tools sharp and clean

 Replace badly worn, cracked or out-of-round wheels, worn and cracked blades
 Replace all frayed and/or damaged extension cords, damaged connections. Do not try to tape
cords
 Follow instructions in the user’s manual for lubricating and changing accessories
 Maintain tools according to the manufacturer’s specifications to avoid worsening vibration:
 Replace vibration mountings before they are worn out
 Check rotating parts for balance and replace them if necessary
 Keep tools sharp
61
Checklists

A checklist can help you identify the hazards related to maintenance of portable tools and take the
necessary preventive measures. Depending on the power source, different checklists may be necessary:

18. HOUSEKEEPING

62
 Good housekeeping is an essential part of every job. Work areas, walkways and equipment shall be
kept clear of loose materials, tools and scraps.

Spills such as grease, water or oil shall be cleaned up as soon as possible; a delay could result in an
accident to you or a fellow worker.

Supervisors are responsible for good housekeeping in or around the work. As minimum, the
following requirements shall be adhering to:

• M a t e r i a l shall not be places where anyone might stumble over it, where it might fall on
someone, or on or against any support unless the support can withstand the additional weight.

• T r a s h and other waste material shall be kept in approved place. Trash shall not be allowed to
accumulate and shall be removed and disposed of as soon as practicable.

19.1 General Housekeeping

The project shall form a team of housekeeping to maintain daily the general tidiness
of worksite.

 A lay out demarcating areas for stacking and disposing the materials to be made.
 The materials shall be stacked with clear passageways to reach them. Care shall be taken so that
the materials do not protrude beyond the marked area posing tripping hazard.
 Name boards shall be displayed to identify the material in the storage area.
 Adequate lighting to be provided in the material storage area.
 Sufficient fire extinguishers to be kept at conspicuous places and the path to reach them are kept
free.
 Toxic & hazardous materials are labelled and kept at isolated place where only authorize persons
shall handle. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the chemicals are displayed nearby.
 Flammable materials like acetylene, diesel, gasoline, paints etc are stored under well-ventilated
shed. Electrical connection in those locations should be proper and maintained well such that they
do not cause short circuits. Smoking, carrying matchbox or any other fire causing materials is
prohibited in these areas.

63
Barrels and drums shall preferably be placed on end. If placed on their sides, these shall be provided
with racks.

19.2 Waste management as per the Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989

Identification of waste generation from different activities

3. Separate storage of waste with their behavioural factor
4. Collection & recording of MSDS for chemical & hazardous wastages

Record keeping and continual process

Wastage Management System

Using good waste management practice on site will help your organization to comply with
environmental legislation, reduce our costs and assist in creating a positive image of our business. This
can meet regulatory requirements, improve the environment, and reduce waste going to landfill by
successfully implementing a site waste management plan. There may even be savings. These can arise
from reduced wastage of materials, reduced transport and disposal costs, and compliance with legal or
contractual requirements. The environment will also benefit through reduced waste going to landfill,
fewer greenhouse gas emissions in construction and fewer pollutants. Longer term, good practice in the
industry will also help avoid punitive regulations governing waste management.

Buying and Storing Materials:

 Order the amount of materials you need as accurately as possible;

 Arrange for 'just in time' deliveries to reduce storage and material losses;

 Consider the source of materials (Is the company certified with environmental standards?
Quality materials and recycled materials may prove cheaper).

 Consider the packaging used for materials delivered to the site -can this be reduced or recycled.

 Ensure that deliveries are rejected if damaged or incomplete

 Make sure storage areas are safe, secure and weatherproof (where required)

Store liquids away from drains, burns and in bonded areas to prevent pollution

Ensure all wastes are disposed of at a correctly licensed agency

We will train our Engineering Staff and Supervisory staff for all Environmental Matters including
Housekeeping, Hazardous waste Handling and Disposal

64
Hazardous substance means any substance or preparation with, by reason of its chemical or physic
chemical properties or handling, is liable to cause harm to human beings, other living creatures, plant,

from the works on site to avoid the need to transport materials.

 Keep the site tidy to reduce material losses and waste.

 Promote good practice awareness as part of health and safety induction / training for workers onsite.

 Segregate different types of waste as they are generated using different skips where possible (given
the space available). At a minimum there should be skips for wood, inert and mixed materials,
although a skip for metals may generate some income. If there is a shortage of space and not
enough room for multiple skips gets a licensed waste management company to deal with waste -
they may be able to recover recycled materials from mixed skips.

 Complete waste transfer notes before any waste leaves the site
 Ensure all waste carriers have a valid waste carriers registration certificate
