EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A safety risk assessment was conducted in the afore stated site (welding and
construction site), several hazards were observed at the site, these hazards
ranges from fire hazards (absence of fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems
makes this case life threatening considering the facts that possible gas leaks
were likely at the site) to heat hazards, mental stress, poor posture, eye
strain, noise discomfort , awkward design of workplace and location of
equipment, presence of sharp edges and improper use of personal protective
equipment amongst others.
The persons at risk were determined and a safety and effective evaluation
have been done, safety measures were prescribed such as serious training,
full implementation of the personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, proper
and improved administrative and engineering procedures etc. These
measures were reviewed and found to suite health, safety and environmental
standards provided strict adherence to the precautionary measures is
ensured. This will enable workers and residents around the site work and live
safely.
INTRODUCTION
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Inadequate supply of appropriate and effective personal protective
equipment (PPE)
Improper usage of the personal protective equipment (PPE)
Improper storage of compressor gas, oxygen cylinders, fuel and gas
cylinders, welding and other highly combustible materials located close
to electrical spark (ignition) point.
Poor engineering constructions design at workstations for work at
elevated heights.
Poor posture on certain welding tasks.
Poor electrical installations poorly insulated and protected cables, poor
socketing, flexible wire, electrical fittings etc.
Protective provisions for other welding and cutting hazards like zinc,
cadmium, beryllium, mercury, lead, carbon monoxide ozone nitrogen
oxides, fluorides, chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents and other
destructive gaseous fumes which could have long term effect on
welding and cutting workers are not in place.
Noise discomfort and ultraviolet radiations problems.
