Timescale
1. Excavation(Physical
Hazard):Workers are seen in a ditch
working on drainage facility in the
construction area about eight feet in
depth and observed that no shoring or
other means of protection which may
lead to cave- ins and lead death to
employees and/ or serious injury but
not limited to limbs fracture, head
injuries and no signage of authorized
personnel only which may lead to slip
and fall and injuries from cuts, bruises
or bone fractures for workers.
2. Physical and Chemical Hazard: A
painter is seen working on the 7thfloor
level at 40 feet height painting outside
of the building in the construction area
of Phase-I using boatswains chair and
brush, subject to risk of falling from
height potentially as he had neither
safety belt and nor safety harness tied
to its body to protect from fall could
cause loss of his life or serious injury
such as fractureof upper/lower limbs
and/or head injury, Back pain,
Chemical hazard and ergonomic
hazard.

Location:Shoba Terrain Devanahalli, Bangalore
Date of review:28/September/2014
I am Paul prepared this report follows the health and safety inspection of one of the biggest
construction projects of Shoba Developers a leading real estate company in India and abroad has the
upcoming project as Shoba Terrain at Devanahalli Bangalore which comprises of three phases,
warehouse and administrative building which had both indoor and outdoor activities and its spread
over 20 acres located at Devanahalli, Bangalore north which is close to our Bangalore International
airport. The inspection took place on 28 march 2014 between 1000 and 1300hrs.
Phase-I and II each comprises of 12 floors and have 460 apartments where the indoor activities such
as painting ,drilling , plumbing, and electrical connection are happening and it is almost in the
handover stage.
Phase-III is at the initial stage of construction where the main outdoor activities such as excavation,
building concrete, concrete mixing and welding works are happening which comprises of 230
apartments&12floor levels and expected to complete by March-2014.
Warehouse where indoor activities such as safe stacking and storing of construction materials such
as cement ( separate storage area) in the warehouse and welding rods, bricks, woods .
Workers in administrative building are carrying out registration activities of apartments & other
administrative indoor activities such as printing, copying and emails.
Management and administrators of about 20 employees and 400 construction workers were present
while this inspection was conducted.
The aim and reason for this inspection report to highlight the areas of concern about existing health
and safety hazard and to reduce the accidental statistics of previous year, also to measure the
standard of health and safety management system maintained and to check whether it meets the
legal standards.

Executive Summary
In 2013, there have been 12 accidents recorded on this construction site, out of which 7 minor from
cuts and bruises and 5major injury of bone fracture, head injury due to worker fell from height .This
inspection observed some major areas of health and safety concern on both outdoor and indoor
activities carrying out by workers which can put them under risk but not limited to death, serious injury
and property damage.
Major findings and its recommendations:
Workers are at high risk of cave-in at the ditch where drainage pipeline work is happening and
construction of hydraulic shoring could prevent from death to serious injury.
th
Painter is working at height of 40feet( 7 floor) on boatswains chair with neither safety belt
and nor harness which might lead to fall from height cause serious injury to death and cherry
picker with electric foam painter has been recommended.
Scaffold not erected on the flat surface, no guard rails braces are not well fitted and some
missing, toe boards have huge gaps can lead to scaffold collapse , people and object fall from
height and purchasing new scaffold is highly recommended.
Forklifts are not stopping at the blind corners and can lead to collision with other vehicle &
workers and topple forklift if the load is heavy may cause from death to serious injury and
property damage , using banks men and side mirror at the blind spots are highly
recommended.
Rods have been welded close to the LPG storage area which can lead to explosion and fire
and cause from several personnel death to serious injury and property damage, a separate
covered welding place is highly recommended to prevent from this risk.
High power electric supply near excavation area needs to be covered by lock out-tag out
isolation system.
Inspection also observed good welfare facilities to workers from clean toilets with liquid hand soap,
drinking water at each floor levels, first aid provisions and lockers, however requesting your earliest
attention on the hazards which outlined above to reduce the risk to acceptable level which
subsequently enable to decrease the accident records for this year.

1.Cave- In/Trenching :
Workers are in a ditch of about 8 feet in depth doing drainage pipeline work and found that there is no
protection from cave- in and slip and fall into the ditch as well as there is no protection and signage
stating authorised personnel only or prohibited area which breaches the ILO legislation of Convention
C167-Safety and Health in construction convention, 1988(No.167).
Recommendation:
Hydraulic Shoring of trench would prevent workers to fall from height by slip or soil to cave in and
would cost approximately $200 and it is easier to fix by one person and can be used for new
upcoming projects as well.
2. Painter working at height:.
th
Painter was working at the 7 floor level of about 40feet high painting outside the building Phase-I using
boatswains chair and brush, may fall from height as he had no safety belt and harness and may
exposed to inhalation of chemical substances in paint which may lead to suffocation and manual
handling at height using hands lead to muscle pain and stress and its breaching the legislation of
ILOC155 Occupational Health and safety convention 1981 and Work at height regulation-2005(WAHR).
Recommendation:
th
Use cherry picker which is available with us for the painter to access at 5 floor level for painting and
purchase of one electric paint sprayer with face piece respirator would prevent the chemical exposure
and fall from height and also avoid much manual handling. Sprayer and respirator would cost around
$120.

Conclusion:
Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Shoba management &each and every worker at
site for their outstanding cooperation while conducting inspection without which I could have not done
this observation about health and safety practices at construction site.
Few major findings needs immediate attention towards the safety of workers from the management
such as Cave-in, Fall from height( People and objects), Electricity & Fire hazard, collision with
vehicle and pedestrians at warehouse by forklifts which can be controlled in near future by
incorporating suitable recommendations .Other safety concerns such as manual handling, vibration,
noise, stress, biological effect, chemical exposure, heat stress, poor lighting and ventilation can also
be controlled with suitable preventive control measures which also recommended on the observation
sheet.
The workforces were seemed to be very happy when I inquired about their well-being within the
facility and they echoed there is no company can compete the welfare facilities such as locker, first
aid provisions, drinking water, healthy menu at cafeteria and cleaner toilet facilities and also told what
else one would expect? Which brings enthusiastic myself when I hear them which clearly
demonstrates the brigade management commitment towards health and safety of their workers.
Lastly, I would request to please take necessary actions on the suitable recommendation outlined for
existing major hazards and I look forward for your support to further enhance our business reputation
by protecting our workers &property and meeting the obligation of national and international
legislations and for our next ISO certification due in 2 months for renewal without any hindrance.
