Site safety supervision

Strengthen the site safety supervision, eliminate safety hidden trouble... 

Site Safety Supervision Plan System (SSSPS)...

Client s Point of View Lack of Site Safety Supervision... 

From the client s point of view, site safety inspection is the most important way to prevent accidents. Mr. Yeung, former safety advisor in the government, states that accidents usually happen at flie time when the work is nearly finished and the site safety supervision is reduced. In one of the cases occurred in 2004 in Sha Tin, the project had nearly come to an end and there were only about 10 workers on site, with no site supervision. Unfortunately, three of the site staff were hit by hghtning while in a shelter. Two men died, and a woman was hmt. 

In case of traffic accident of highly toxic and explosive, dangerous chemicals, public security department should report to the local government immediately. Safety supervision, public security, transportation, environmental protection, health and other related departments have to carry out on-site disposal and accident emergency rescue work in accordance with disposal plan. 

During planned raids, a Site Safety Officer from the clandestine laboratory entry team should be designated to determine what level of protection is needed dming the raid and subsequent laboratory assessment. This individual must be well trained and certified in the CDL hazards and should have the authority to decide whether it is safe to enter the area. The Site Safety Officer should also make decisions regarding the decontamination of suspects and responders and should supervise air sampling and the assessment for chemical and physical hazards. 

All safety equipment (MEI) located on different command and control sites are supervised from a remote command and control center. This requires the presence of a single operating agent. 

Exhibitions, as with all safety publicity, must be aimed at a particular aspect rather than spread over the entire field of site safety. A particular example is the situation that arises when a hard hat area is established. This usually occurs with the Stan of steelwork erection. Rules can be laid down and published, warning notices displayed and supervision specially alerted to warn men not wearing hats, but the real motivation is to convince people of the advantages to themselves of wearing... 

The papers by authors from outside the UK showed that the approach to construction accidents in other countries differs considerably from that in the UK, although the types of accident and structural failure are similar and the numbers of these are comparable, although sometimes greater. In Germany, for example, a work force of million spread over 173 000 firms (li million and 100 000 in the UK) suffered about 600 fatalities and 400 000 reportable accidents in a twelve-month period these figures include accidents while going to or from work. Safety supervision is exercised through about 230 technically qualified inspectors and 31 000 site supervisors. 

In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and regulations made under it require occupiers to provide a safe plant and system of work and adequate instruction, training, and supervision. In the European community, occupiers of major hazard sites are required to produce a safety case, which describes how hazards have been assessed and are kept under control. Many other countries have similar legislation, though standards of enforcement vary. 

In all aspects of site investigations, health and safety considerations should take priority. Staff should be suitably trained and adequately supervised. Particular care should be taken with monitoring locations that pose particular difficulties for access or that are unsafe in any other way. Risk assessments should be prepared in advance and reviewed at regular intervals. Suitable personal protective equipment and emergency equipment and protocols should be available. 

Set A the seven old cases all concerned local sites with which we had had extensive direct contacts in the period of 1985-1990, either in the form of contract research projects or by supervising students working in those plants. The insights in their safety management systems in general and in their NMMS projects in particular were updated in 1991. 

A SHE Review will be held when requested as a result of a department PHA or agreed necessary by others such as department supervision, Research Engineering or Health and Safety, Corporate Engineering or Health and Safety, etc. In addition, there are procedures established by Pilot Plants, Corporate Departments, and in the manufacturing sites that require formal Safety Reviews for new facilities and before research processes are scaled-up in the Semi-Works, Preps Lab, Pilot Plant or go to plant production. 

For example, a construction crew may be erecting a new administration building at a process plant site. The contract workers who pour the concrete and erect the steel work will not have any contact with the people who work on the processes, nor will they be directed by the site supervisors. Therefore, they are true contract workers. At the other extreme is a maintenance worker who has worked on the facility for many years and who reports directly to the facility s supervision. Even though this worker may be on contract in an administrative sense, regulatory agencies such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) would regard him or her as being equivalent to a full-time employee. 

This chapter has considered the management of safety in the off-site outdoor classroom and identified some of the basic principles of safe practice when working out of doors. Adequate and appropriate supervision, in its widest sense, has been shown to be fundamental not only to safe practice, but also to litigation avoidance.
