1. Work Activity Description

Work Activity

Description

Concrete Pouring

Pouring and setting concrete for the foundation slab on the first floor. Includes the use of mixers, cranes, and manual labor for placing and smoothing concrete.


2. Risk Identification

Hazard

Potential Risk

Falling from height (scaffolding)

Workers could fall from scaffolding or elevated platforms during concrete pouring, leading to serious injuries or fatalities.

Heavy machinery (cranes, mixers)

Workers in proximity to heavy machinery risk injury from moving parts or being struck by falling objects.

Wet concrete

Exposure to wet concrete can cause skin burns or irritation if contact is not prevented by proper PPE.

Manual handling of heavy loads

Workers may strain their muscles or suffer injuries from lifting heavy concrete bags or tools.

Noise exposure

Prolonged exposure to loud machinery and equipment could result in hearing damage or loss.

Slips, trips, and falls on wet surfaces

The wet concrete and equipment spillage increases the risk of workers slipping, causing falls and injuries.
