INTRODUCTION
From,
Vinod.V
IGC Student
To,
The Managing Director
Michelin India Tyres Pvt Ltd
Subject: Management Report
My aim to conduct a site inspection and prepare Safety management report
to Michelin India Tyres Pvt Ltd. I inspected the site on 03/10/2014 around10.00 AM .
Michelin India Tyres Pvt Ltd is a multinational company producing heavy vehicle tyres
with international standard of safety. Its located in a village named Thervoyikandigai,
30 km away from Chennai city. At the time of inspection both construction and
production is going on at different location. Construction work is in its final stage.
Construction site spread an area of 300 acres land and total project value is 1000
crores. In construction site I found nearly 1000 people were working and they were from
different states of India like Bihar, West Bengal, Tamilnadu and Kerala. They are using
languages like Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and Malayalam. I observe lot of construction
activities like roof sheet fixing, pipe fixing on pipe rack, cable laying on the cable tray,
people were working on scaffold, lifting and shifting of construction materials and hot
works like welding and gas cutting . For construction activities and transport purpose,
lot of machineries and vehicles were using such as forklift, boom lift, scissor lift,
different types of cranes, dozer, dumper, trailers, buses and light motor vehicles. I use
the methodologies like observations from the site, referring previous incident /accident
investigation report, risk assessment method and collect informations by consulting
with experienced and qualified EHS Managers and officers of the client and contractors.
Its a foreign based company following international standards like OHSAS 18OO1 and
ISO 9001 in safety. During inspection time I found some good observations, procedures
and unsafe condition and act in the site. According to the inspection its found that all
over safety culture of the company is good and appreciable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Herewith I submit this report aim to reduce the risk and incident/accident rate of the site.
On the inspection time I observe a lot of unsafe condition and act at site at the same time
employer provide some good facilities and arrangements for the workers. As an EHS
person its my duty to reduce and eliminate the hazardous condition and ensure a safe
environment for the workers. Companies all overall health and safety culture is good.
The management and EHS persons were hard working for reduce the hazardous
situation. Good facilities like emergency point with signage board, drinking and washing
water in separate tank, permanent barricade for the walkway in ramp area and first aid
box fixed on every construction activity going on building. In a very big area and large
number of workers its difficult to control and reduce hazardous condition. Some of the
hazards identified are highlighting for concentrating and taking necessary actions to
eliminate or reducing it. Management want to take more care on hazardous areas like
electrical cable passing through scaffolding pipe and metal pipe , improper stacking of
dangerous materials and gas cylinders, lifting and shifting of materials using mobile
crane without rigger and proper barrication, excavated area without edge protection and
workers stand on the edge without any fall arrest system ,violation of PPEs like without
adequate PPEs workers handling cement and other chemicals can cause acute and
chronic diseases, explosion and fire , contact injury, fatal injury and death. If the
employer didnt take any necessary action it will cause for increase the incident/accident
at site. Any accident is happened in site, it will affect the labours physically and mentally.
Violence can increase and it may lead to strike. It will damage reputation of the company
and loss of further orders. Legal or organisational fine and punishment like
imprisonment and corporate probation orders. It will increase the incident/accident rate
which can affect the temporary or permanently closure of the business. It will decrease
the production and morality of the employee. Eliminate or reduce these hazardous
conditions from the site gives safe working environment for the employee. It reduces
the incident/accident rate of the company and which save money and reputation of the
company. It will help to increase the production and competence level of the employee.
It will save the insured; uninsured cost and equipment repairing and replacing cost.
MAIN FINDINGS
3.1 In building number 530 plastering work is going on, 10 workers were standing on a 4
meter height scaffold and doing plastering work on wall. Its found that live electrical
cables were going through scaffolding pipe which were connected to the welding
machine. Any damage in electrical cable can cause electric shock, electrocution,
electrical fire, burn, and falling hazard to the worker working on the scaffold. It was a
high risk work which can cause damage to property, personal injury, fatality and death
to workers.
Recommendations
In any case of electrical hazard immediately we can do the actions like isolate the
power, dont allow power cable through any metal or scaffolding pipe. Ensure good
condition and double insulation of all cable and sockets. Long term actions are
instruction given for re routing all the cable through underground or overhead. Ensure
that the equipment and the surroundings are dry. Ensure Lock Out / Tag Out system is
followed in repairing and maintenance work. All the cables were connected through
ELCB. Use proper PPE such as rubberised hand gloves and ensure proper earthing of
the equipment. Permit to work system want to follow for all electrical related work.
Guarding involves locating or enclosing electric equipment to make sure people dont
accidentally come into contact with its live parts. Ensure the availability of fire
extinguisher and other fire fighting equipment.
Legal
As per my observation the employees were violating the following rules and regulations

Electrical equipment (safety) Regulations 1994
The Indian electricity act 2003 and rules 1956
Cost
It approximately comes between 30000 Rs to 40000 Rs
3.2 In a cylinder storage shed its found that Dry Acetylene and Oxygen cylinders are
stored without any separation and adequate supports like trolley or permanently chained
to a fixed structure. All the cylinders have no safety cap. There is a chance of cylinder
falling because its not properly secured and which can cause hit injury, fire and
explosion hazard, damage to property, burn injury and death to the nearby working
persons.
Recommendations
Immediate actions we can do are informed to the store in charge, with the supervision
of him segregate the cylinder and provide separate place for the different gas cylinders.
Cylinders containing liquefiable gases shall be kept in upright position and secured.
Keep the cylinders in use in dedicated trolleys with chains fastened. Loose cylinders
shall be secured with chain /rope to a fixed structure. Long term actions suggested are
DA and Oxygen cylinder store in separate shed with cool, dry, well ventilated and under
cover, away from boilers, opens flames or any potential source of heat. Signage board
and warning signs must be displayed. Only trained & competent persons would handle
the cylinder Ensure good housekeeping, secure the materials & equipment properly,
route the hoses safely so as to avoid tripping hazards. Remove empty cylinders to
storage area immediately. Replace caps of cylinders when not in use. Ensure the
availability of fire extinguisher and other fire fighting equipment.

3.3 Near building number 431 its observed that lifting of roof sheet is going on with
mobile crane. Lifting area is not barricaded unauthorised personnel, passersby may
enter while lifting is going on and be exposed to hazards. In the absence of rigger and
taglines material lifting is going on and it can cause material fall and hitting injury to the
people going under of it. Improper selection of slings / improper rigging may cause
failure and serious injury to personnel, property damage. Manual handling of materials,
slings etc cause sprains, cuts and abrasions. Overloading of crane /Wrong positioning
of crane/ Defective Load Indicator can cause Crane failure and toppling of crane.
Recommendations
Immediate actions are suspend the job and unload the material to a safe place
Barricade operating range and post warning sign board. Ensure the crane is positioned
at appropriate location and ensure that the ground is hard and solid. Long term
recommendations are provide trained / certified riggers, A rigger shall stand by for
critical lifts at the opposite side of the load near the crane to watch the jack and caution
the operator if the jack moves. SWL of the slings and other gears shall be more than the
load acting on it. All slings shackles and other loose gears shall be certified, colour
coded and in safe condition. Engage trained personnel, Use hard hat, safety boots, eye
protection and hand gloves Trained signal man shall be engaged. Only one man shall
show signal to crane operator. Signal man shall be identified by wearing a reflective
jacket. Always attach proper tag lines of sufficient length and strength. Control
swinging by holding and controlling from both ends. No one should go under
suspended load. Ensure that overload warning / alarm and electronic load indicator is
functioning properly.

3.4 Its observed that two persons stand on the edge of a 2.5 meter depth un
barricaded excavation to give iron rod to the below worker. There is chance of person
can fell inside the excavated area and hit on the iron rod which is used for structural
beam. Iron rod can be fell above of the workers working below due to slipping or over
load. Employee shall be exposed to hazards associated with loose rock or soil sliding
or falling from trench walls, face or bank. This will cause men and material fall, collapse
of the soil, contact injury, fatality and death.
Recommendations
Immediate action is to suspend the job and provide adequate barrication. The
staff or Sub Contractors working on the opening shall be protected by a fall arrest
system and the work area barricaded. Signage board and competent persons were
providing for the work. Long term actions are on completion of such work the site shall
be re-inspected to ensure that the location is returned to a safe condition. Hand rails
and wooden steps provide as access. Pulleys were providing for material unloading
purpose. Mechanical handlings like Hydra provide loading and unloading materials.
PPEs such as hand gloves provide the workers for material handling. All work areas
adjacent to public walkways must be adequately guarded or barricaded by fences or
guardrails sufficient to prevent persons from falling into the excavation. Excavation
sites cannot be crowd with anything such as piles of excavated material or excavation
equipment which might accidentally fall into the excavation. Competent person must
ensure that sides of excavation or trench are scraped clean.

CONCLUSION
Inspection I found unsafe act and conditions like live electrical cables were going
through scaffolding pipe which can cause hazards like electrical shock and
electrocution. Improper storage and handling of materials like gas cylinders and painting
materials. Fall hazards while lifting /shifting /carrying of materials. Fall of person and
material from height due to unprotected edges. Slip and trip due to improper
housekeeping. Ergonomic issues due to improper manual handling. Work at height
violations like without edge protection and full body harness working at height above
03 meters. Hot work violation like gas cutting doing on an area spread with full of paper
and other combustible material. Violation of PPEs, not wearing PPEs like hand gloves
and ear muff for heavy drilling work. Improper chemical handling such as cement and
other chemicals containing bags were shifting by manually and the workers are not
wearing any PPES. The store area were not properly ventilated and illuminated. Poor
condition of the access road, some areas of the site access road contain loose and non
compact soil, water stagnant and lengthy ramp. Poor maintenance facility, absence spill
tray and spill kit in machine maintenance work and non functioning filter of Silo didnt
changed due to this oil spread on the floor and cement spread on the atmosphere .
Lack of training and supervision are some reason for hazardous situation like person
using duct pipe instead of platform ladder and tiles cutting inside a congested and non
ventilated room. Absence of proper barrication and competent riggers in lifting work is
a hazard. Absence of proper signage board and fire fighting equipment can cause
hazardous situation. Poor competence level of the worker and unavailability of
resources can cause for hazardous situation. Eliminate or reduce these hazardous
conditions from the site gives safe working environment for the employee. It reduces
the incident/accident rate of the company and which save money and reputation of the
company. It will help to increase the production and competence level of the employee.
It will save the insured; uninsured cost and equipment repairing and replacing cost. If
these hazards were neglected it will damage the reputation of the company and loss of
further orders. Legal or organisational fine and punishment like imprisonment and
corporate probation orders. It will increase the incident/accident rate which can affect
the temporary or permanently closure of the business. It will decrease the production
and morality of the employee.
