Introduction including overview of area inspected and activities taking place:

I am Tanveer Sayyad prepared this report follows the health and safety inspection of one of the Five star
hotel of Oberoi group, a leading real estate company in India and abroad which has many upcoming
projects in India and Abroad as well. The current project was at Mumbai i.e. Grand Oberoi hotel whose
main services are been provided by two departments – Engineering and housekeeping. Grand Oberoi hotel
is very close to the Mumbai international Airport. The inspection took place on 07th January 2017
between 10.00 and 18.00hrs.

Grand Oberoi hotel comprises of 10 floors and have 300 guest rooms where the electrical, mechanical,
Air conditioning related, Plumbing, welding, painting works are happening and engineering department
is serving the maintenance works on day to day basis. Conducting the planned preventive maintenance
of the loads and equipment’s in the hotel premises is the main activity of the Engineering team.

Housekeeping department focuses on the cleaning, arranging the rooms every day in three shifts, deep
cleaning, decoration, gardening related work of the entire hotel.

Administration related works are carried out for hotel bookings, cancellation, room changing activities

Executive Summary

In 2016, there have been 15 accidents recorded at Grand Oberoi – Five star hotel, out of which 10 minor
of cuts and bruises and 5 major injury of bone fracture, head injury and electric shock due to worker fell
from height while conducting the preventive maintenance of Air conditioning and electrical loads. This
inspection observed some major areas of health and safety concern on both Engineering and
Housekeeping activities carried out at this site. This findings if not corrective actions were taken can
results in Fatality, electric shock, serious injuries due height fall and finally property damage.

Major findings and its recommendations:

1) Electrical Hazards: Workers are at high risk while preventive maintenance works of Electrical
equipment’s like Transformer, indicating lights are not working, SOP & Safe system of work is
not displayed are happening and this could be prevented by placing the Electrical rubber mats
in front of electrically energised equipment’s, wearing adequate PPE like electrical hand gloves,
safety shoes while conducting such activities at site.

2) Fire Hazards: Emergency fire exit is found locked, unwanted materials which are flammable are
kept in the fire exit, fire detecting and firefighting devices like fire sprinklers, smoke detectors
were not installed in the basement which may leads to fatality during the fire accident or during
the electrical short circuit. These hazards can be prevented by installing smoke detectors, fire
sprinklers in the basement, unwanted materials to be removed from the fire exit aisle and fire
exit door to be kept open every time.

3) Working at height Hazard: Employees are forced to use ladders to work at a height of 15 feet
instead of providing safety belt/harness in the balcony area. Workers can fall from height while
working at height, even objects can fall from height and purchasing new scaffold or providing
safety belt is highly recommended.

4) Manual handling Hazard: Workers carry heavy rice bags, other eatables in bags and heavy
materials from ground floor to first floor where store room is located. Workers are not allowed
to use the service lifts as it is only used by the hotel staff. Trolleys are not available at site for
transferring heavy loads without lifting it. It is been recommended to purchase the trolleys on
urgent basis and allowing workers to use the service lifts.

5) Young workers: Young workers aged between (18 – 23) years are using the power tools like
drilling machine without proper training and supervision. Young workers were trained only for
one day about their roles and responsibilities and risks related to their activities were not covered
in their training session. It is recommended to provide the supervision where young workers are
been allotted to work and young employees are to be trained on risks oriented with their
activities.

Location: - Grand Oberoi – Five star hotel Date of Review:-07/01/2017

Main Findings and recommendations of the inspection -

1. Electrical Hazards-

Observation 1

As observed - Workers are at high risk while preventive maintenance works of Electrical equipment’s like
Transformer, indicating lights are not working, SOP & Safe system of work is not displayed at transformer
section and this could be prevented by placing the Electrical rubber mats in front of electrically energised
equipment’s, wearing adequate PPE like electrical hand gloves, safety shoes while conducting such
activities at workplace which can prevent getting an electric shock, death, burns so it breaches ILO
Legislation of C 155 Occupational health and safety convection 1981 and Electricity at work regulations
1989(EAWR)

Recommendation-

 Use of PPE (Helmet, safety shoes, safety goggles, gloves) is mandatory for workers working on
electrical equipment.
 Forced exhaust mechanism to be installed in the Transformer section.
 Electrical rubber of class2 are to be made available in front of the Transformer section.
 Worker must have awareness while working on electrical equipment’s, Trainings are to be
conducted at workplace to create the awareness of electrical safety.
 Standard operating procedures (SOP) and safe system of work (SSOW) are to be displayed in the
transformer section.
 According to Electricity at work regulation 1989 electrical instruments should be constructed in
this way that they prevent danger, regular maintenance is necessary.
 Install new electrical systems to BS 7671 required for electrical installations.
 Use of RCDs in the electrical system to cut-off the electrical supply in case of any accident
occurs.

2. Fire Hazard –

Observation 2

Emergency fire exit is found locked therefore in case of emergency employee will be trapped inside
which can cause fatal injury, burns even death. Unwanted materials are maintained in the fire exit
staircase which serves as obstruction during fire emergency evacuation. Fire detection devices like
smoke detectors and firefighting equipment’s like fire sprinklers are not installed in the basement of
the Hotel which breaches the fire protection and prevention act 1997.

Main Finding and Recommendations of inspection –

3. Working on Height-

Observation 3-
Workers are forced to work at height of 15 feet by using ladder instead of safety harness.
Here workers are required to work near the edge, so without any safety harness there is a chance of
falling down. Also objects such as testing equipment’s or the workers hand tool might cause damage to
the property. Working at 15 feet height without using safety belt is a High risk hazard
Which is breaching under C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167).

Recommendation-

Recommendations are made under, R197 - Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and
Health Recommendation, 2006 (No. 197) &
R181 - Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents Recommendation, 1993 (No. 181).

 Safety harness to be provided to the employees who works at a height above 8 feet.
 Safety net also to be provided as a fall arrest system.
 The workers working near the edge should be provided full body harness.
 Periodical risk assessments are to be conducted and findings are to be rectified with in the
stipulated time.

4. Manual Handling-

Observation 4-
Workers are carrying heavy rice bags, other eatables in bags and heavy materials from ground floor to
first floor where store room is located, Manual handling of loads may cause cumulative disorders due to
gradual and cumulative deterioration of the musculoskeletal system through continuous lifting / handling
activities, e.g. low back pain. It can also cause acute trauma such as cuts or fractures due to accidents.

Work-related low back pain and injuries are the most common musculoskeletal disorders caused by
manual handling. About a fourth of Indian workers suffer from back pain, which tops the list of all
reported work-related disorders. The cost for the recommendations mentioned below will be Rs. 2000/-
otherwise it breaches the ‘The manual handling operations regulations 1992’.

Recommendations -

 Designing and organising tasks to avoid manual handling completely, or at least restriction is
necessary.
 Trolleys are to be provided to the workers
 Allow workers to use service lifts to transfer goods from one floor to another.
 Organising manual handling tasks in a safe way, with loads split into smaller ones, and proper
rest periods provided.

Location: - Grand Oberoi – Five star hotel Date of Review:-07/01/2017

Main Finding and Recommendations of inspection –

 Providing information and training to workers on tasks, and the use of equipment and correct
handling techniques.

5. Young Workers-

Observation 5 –

Young workers aged between (18 – 23) years are using the power tools like drilling machine without
proper training and supervision.
Young workers were trained only for one day about their roles and responsibilities and risks related to
their activities were not covered in their training session.

Young workers get hurt when:

 They take on jobs for which they're not trained, sometimes without being asked.
 They don't have appropriate supervision.
 They work with dangerous tools or equipment.
 They perform tasks that violate youth employment laws.

Recommendation –

 Continuous supervision on young workers working on power tools is necessary.

 Proper training should be provided to handle power tools, especially to young workers.
 Avoid young workers from working on power tools if not necessary.
 Proper education should be provided to prevent against electric hazards.

Conclusion:

Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Oberoi group management & each and every worker
at site for their outstanding cooperation while conducting inspection without which I could have not done
this observation about health and safety practices at hotel industry.

Few major findings needs immediate attention towards the safety of workers from the management
such as “Electrical hazards when conducting the preventive maintenance of Electrical loads and
equipment, Fire hazards like locked fire exit and firefighting & fire detecting devices are not installed
in basement and unwanted flammable materials are stored in the fire exit staircase which can be
controlled in near future by incorporating suitable recommendations .Other safety concerns such as
manual handling, Expectant mother work place arrangement, careless smoking, noise, stress, poor
hygienic conditions, chemical exposure, heat stress, poor housekeeping” during washroom cleaning can
also be controlled with suitable preventive control measures which also recommended on the observation
sheet.

The workforces were seemed to be very happy when I inquired about their well-being within the
Facility and they echoed there is no company can compete the welfare facilities such as locker, first aid
provisions, drinking water, healthy menu at cafeteria and changing rooms and also told what else one
would expect? Which brings enthusiastic myself when I hear them which clearly demonstrates the brigade
management commitment towards health and safety of their workers.

Lastly, I would request to please take necessary actions on the suitable recommendations outlined for
existing major hazards and I look forward for your support to further enhance our business reputation by
protecting our workers & property and meeting the obligations of national and international legislations.
