Safety first





This write up is to present Mr. Ali Ahmed the managing director of S&A Construction Company. This company has over 150 sites around the country. At peek times, it is employing up to 10,000 men. Ali wants his company to set higher standards for building in the country.



He realized that the number of accidents among the workers increased and he doesn’t want his company to be like a hospital. So he sent detailed questionnaires to all sites managers concerning the site’s safety record at each site. The outcome from each site was received after three weeks and presented to him.



The accident rate during 12 hour’s day shift is one accident per hour. During the 12 hours the accidents rate vary from one per hour to 12 per hour. The total accident during the day is 25 accidents (WI). The first accident starts at the first hour of the day shift. At the second hour of the shift the rate jumps to 2 accidents and then increases rapidly to 6 accidents then sharply drops to almost zero. Half an hour after that it jumps to 3 accidents and then rises quickly to 5 accidents and then continues to increase to 7 accidents in 2 hours and half. During the lunch hour things settle down and then after one hour the rate goes to 3 accidents over one hour and drops to one accident and then to zero. After that the accidents increases rapidly to 6 accidents and then continue the rapid increase until it reaches 12 accidents which is the peak. The rate then slumps sharply to one and then grows back to 7 accidents and fall to 3 accidents then drops to one accident. At the last hour of the day shift, the rate was maintained at one accident.



Generally the accidents are caused by carelessness, lack of understanding ?the operating procedure, not following the operating procedure and lack of safety awareness. Accidents can also be caused by insufficient training and lack of experience. It is also results of the poor functioning of the prevention system. Accidents can be also result of overconfidence and habits.



Some of the accidents in Ali’s company seem to be caused by confusions and lack of understanding the jobs requirements. It could also be lack of experience. The workers start in the morning with no working plans and improper protection clothes. Other accidents were caused by lack of understanding of the dangers inherent in working around electricity. Some caused by carelessness and not following the supplied procedures. There are no warnings signs about power tools and electrical cords, and what to do in the event of an accident. Safety watcher was not assigned to stay in the site and advise as needed to prevent accidents before they occur.
