highlighted for action to be taken for a safe working environment and developing a good safety culture.
Executive Summary
The purpose of this was to identify hazards and implement controls through field inspection and seek
patterns of hazards. The following area of concern needs management immediate action electrical,
excavations, walking-working surfaces, cranes and other material handling equipment, hand and portable
powered tools, and welding and cutting. Effective controls identified during the inspection are also
described in this report.
Some major risks and hazards are found during the inspection. They are Chance of fatality due to

and fall. Provide Residual current circuit breakers for electrical systems, proper barricading around the
excavation, install flash back arrestors in gas cutting sets, proper earthing, etc...can control the hazards.
Main Findings
There are some major risks and hazards. These are
1. Electrical
In some electrical panel boards there RCCB/ELCB are not used. Electrical hazards have
always been recognized, yet serious injuries, deaths, and property damage and fire occur
daily. Providing ELCBs with 30 mA sensitivity for shock protection. As this is an
important safety measure, we recommend periodical checking once in a month.
Implementing and following a well designed Electrical Safety Program will protect
employees and employers against Injury to personnel ,Increased costs for insurance and

2. Mobile scaffold
There are some mobile scaffolds are used for working at height work. They are good in
condition and green tag also there. Peoples are working in scaffold also. But scaffolds
wheels are not properly blocked. This will cause of a severe accident. There are no
adequate supervision and proper training. So this happened. If an accident occurs it will
affect the organization's reputation and also legal fines approx $70,000.

3. Gas cutting work

No flash back arrestors used while doing gas cutting activity. It will cause of fire
and explosion. Flashback arrestor is a safety device designed to stop a flame in its
tracks. It's used to prevent flash back into the cylinders. This hazards easily rectified
at little costs ( 5000) to the company. If the explosion and fire occur it will affect the
large area of the work site. It will cause more fatality, business loss, reputation,
compensation claims, and legal penalty under HSG regulations.

4. Walkways and Stairways


During the inspection some obstructions found in walkways. Paint spillage and cable
trailing in walkways and also no proper illumination in walkways. It will cause the slip,
trip and fall. Walkways should be clear from any type of obstructions. These types of
problems easily can rectify to provide proper trailing of cables and drainage and spillage

Conclusion
While checking the Health and safety Site Inspection report showing several safety violations in this
organization. Workplace safety rules have been disregarded and this is evident by the trip hazards around
the office workplace. Furthermore, incorrect manual handling techniques could lead to life-changing
injuries and the management does not provide proper training in lifting techniques. In this organization
there is no annual testing of Safety Belts and Fire extinguishers. This is requirements under factories act.
Finally, Fire regulations have been breached through the incorrect storage of combustible materials
locked fire exits etc.
If these recommendations are not followed, then your company will be put at risk of negative publicity
and a bad reputation through potential court cases due to breaches of health and safety law. Additionally,
civil litigation will affect your reputation and will adversely affect your financial stability. Worker
absence will lead to an increase in costs of re-training and recruiting new workers to replace injured
workers. Furthermore, if management makes no effort to improve health and safety, the morale of the
workers, and consequently the production efficiency, will suffer too.
