Today there is a high focus on EHS in the construction industry. Many
companies have recognized that the EHS & well being of their workers &
fellow Human Beings deserve the highest priority.

accidents if they have not properly trained or if they do not have appropriate
level of respect for the potential hazards at hand.

Each member of the EHS committee is a EHS Officer with the responsibility of
implementing EHS procedures & encouraging safe practices in these areas.

1.2 Assignment of Responsibility:

EHS is obviously everyone’s responsibility & in the end all personnel must work
in accordance with accepted safe practices & report any unsafe conditions.

1.3 Record of Accidents:

Reporting an accident has three important functions:
  It alerts supervisor or department head to accident. They in turn have the
responsibility of reporting accident to human resources for insurance coverage
&to comply with state regulations in cases involving workmen’ compensation.
 Reporting accidents to the Health Service minimizes the chance that apparently
minor injury might become aggravated.

recognized as fundamentally unsafe. It is the responsibility of each director of
a department head, or administrative unit to identify the hazardous or isolated
areas under his jurisdiction where working alone is not allowed. Where
Hazards are identified, every must be made o minimize or eliminate them.
