Construction Safety

Final Project- Construction Safety

Project Statement:

You are responsible as a safety manager for a high-rise commercial building

project. Your boss wants the project to proceed smoothly and aim to have zero

injuries on the job-site. Before the project can start, you are asked to prepare a

detailed hazard analysis of the job site (Please refer to the textbook chapter

“Hazard analysis” for hazard analysis details). As per requirements spelled out by

the contractor, you have to identify, evaluate and develop (IED) control

strategies to eliminate/reduce the risk associated with the specific hazards during

the following construction phases:

• site preparation,

• concrete foundations,

• steel erection,

• roof construction,

• mechanical and electrical systems, and

• finishes

You can add as many sub-activities as you think appropriate in these phases.

You must document IED strategies for each phase.

Deliverables:

1. Identifying all the potential hazards during each construction phase. You

should prepare a table including project phases and associated hazards.

2. A. Prepare a detailed risk assessment represented as an assessment tree or

table. An example of risk assessment tree is presented in the textbook, but

colorful risk assessment tables (showing frequency and severity of potential

hazards) are frequently used in the industry (you can search online for any

such tables and use them in your report). The hazards and activities must be

prioritized in descending order.

B. You should also add control strategies to address the risk identified in

2A.

3. Finish the document with concluding remarks by highlighting major risks

and a “commitment to safety” statement.
