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. |
