Hazard Identification and Evaluation in Construction Industry

The word construction comes in light then we can say that it is a way of assembling, altering or building anything. In Construction several types of material are used like bricks, sand, cement, wood, steel and so on. Construction industry is a kind of process industry that manufactures the buildings, bridges, roads, hospital, commercial buildings, cinema hall, etc. Construction industry plays a big role in the development of a country. If we want to check the development of any country we can find this out very easily by its construction & development, because the level of country’s development is reflected by its infrastructure. The infrastructure is in the form of roads, airports, buildings, commercial buildings, offices etc. As we know that construction industry is the most hazardous industry, almost daily an accident occurs on site. Hazards in construction industry are fall from height, falling of material, failure of lifting appliance, scaffolding collapse, soil collapse, vehicle struck, electric fire, unwanted material stacking at height, ergonomic effect and temporary structure failure. In this project we are using job safety analysis (JSA) methodology to control risk factor in construction industry mainly we are using JSA for this high risk activity. In JSA methodology three main components are there Job steps : in job steps the risky activity steps are splits in to parts and we dictating every steps of an activity due to this steps we split the risk and after that, Hazard identified : in job steps how to do that work activity and in this activity hazard is identified just because of their nature and we calculate the hazard, Control measures: after that we control the hazard by the control technic and control activity to reduce the hazard. In these project can apply JSA in different type of construction activities like tower crane erection, height work (form work), slab concreting, manual material handling due to job safety analysis methodology we control the high risk in construction industry. after that from this activity we are implemented them on construction site and calculate data from last five years than the accident ratio decreases and implemented the high risk activity covers by edge protection and fall protection system (ex. edge protection hard barricading, life line, floor opening close for fall protection system we are using full body harness, fall arrestor, safety net).
