MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP
Management leadership is vital to the success of this safety and
healthy program. It lays the foundation upon which this program is
established.
In accord with the concept of the worth of very
individual human life is always placed to the highest value. Top
management is committed towards accident prevention and control
and takes lead in establishing sound safety practices. The success of
this program emanates from top management's announced and
demonstrated interest in safety to obtain employee cooperation and
participation.
GENERAL POLICY
It is the general policy of a contractor to perform work in the safest
manner possible consistent with good construction practices. To fulfill
the requirements of this policy, an organized and effective Safety and
Health Plan as described in this manual and in consonance with DOLE
Occupational Safety and Health Standards must be carried out on
every project.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of the safety program is to assist management in the
development of a plan designed to protect the employees and to
increase production by the prevention and control of accidents and
risks which involves elements such as manpower, material, machinery
and tools, equipment and time. In compliance to the program, a
practical, sound and effective plan for the prevention of and response
to accidents shall be established.
Specific responsibilities to
management and supervision down to the least of the workers shall be
assigned. For the program to be abreast with the Current Safety
standards and regulations and technical advancements, review and
revision shall be conducted as may be required.
All employees, visitors, subcontractors, vendors/suppliers, etc. shall
comply with this safety program while on the work site.
Since accidents usually result from the same deficiencies that
adversely affect productivity, costs, employee and public relations, the
safety record is a reliable guide to the general effectiveness of
supervision. An efficient operation is one, which gets out the most
production at the lowest cost. Whenever unsafe conditions or unsafe
work methods require workers to pay less attention to production
because they must spend more time trying not to be injured, or when

JOB HAZARD AND RISK ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION
Construction is a dynamic process, it is an ever changing process in
physical and environmental forms until the construction project is
completed.
The purpose of a job hazard analysis is to develop a preliminary
hazard analysis on work operations as to their potential for injury,
property damage or both.
Once potential hazards have been
identified, procedures can be developed to eliminate or mitigate their
potential for occurrence.
Benefits of the job hazard analysis will be;
