Construction Safety Risk Assessment

Project Details

Project Name: High-Rise Office Tower Construction
Location: 1234 Main St., Downtown, Cityville
Assessment Date: December 2, 2060
Assessment Conducted By: John Doe, Safety Officer; Jane Smith, Site Supervisor
Project Manager: Michael Johnson
Supervisor(s): Sarah Lee, Alan Mitchell

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.

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.

Hazard	Likelihood (1-5)	Severity (1-5)	Risk Score	Risk Level
Falling from height (scaffolding)	4	5	20	High
Heavy machinery (cranes, mixers)	3	4	12	High
Wet concrete	3	3	9	Medium
Manual handling of heavy loads	4	3	12	High
Noise exposure	4	3	12	Medium
Slips, trips, and falls on wet surfaces	4	3	12	High

Hazard	Control Measures	Responsible Person(s)	Completion Date
Falling from height (scaffolding)	Install fall arrest systems, ensure scaffolds are properly secured, and use safety harnesses.	Alan Mitchell, Site Supervisor	December 3, 2060
Heavy machinery (cranes, mixers)	Provide proper training for equipment operators, ensure all machinery has functioning safety features (e.g., alarms, warning lights), and enforce exclusion zones around heavy machinery.	Sarah Lee, Safety Officer	December 3, 2060
Wet concrete	Provide workers with waterproof gloves, long-sleeve shirts, and boots to prevent skin contact with wet concrete.	John Doe, Safety Officer	December 2, 2060
Manual handling of heavy loads	Train workers on proper lifting techniques, provide mechanical aids like dollies, and ensure team lifting for heavy loads.	Jane Smith, Supervisor	December 2, 2060
Noise exposure	Provide hearing protection (earplugs, earmuffs) for workers, and ensure machinery is regularly serviced to minimize noise levels.	Michael Johnson, Project Manager	December 3, 2060
Slips, trips, and falls on wet surfaces	Use anti-slip mats in work areas, ensure the area is regularly cleaned, and enforce the use of slip-resistant footwear.	Alan Mitchell, Site Supervisor	December 2, 2060
