Risk mitigation measures

Ladders and scaffolding used for working at heights do not ensure safety 

- Ladder and scaffolding collapse leading to falls from high places.

- Scaffolding, ladders, materials falling on people causing injury.

- Organize self-inspection at the beginning of the shift to detect errors early for timely correction.

- Develop a safety checklist to inspect scaffolding daily.

- The team leader checks the scaffolding and supports to ensure that the scaffolding is stable enough before workers go to work every day. Whenever damage to the scaffolding or supports is detected, work must be temporarily stopped and immediate action taken.

Only after appropriate corrective action can work be resumed.

- Materials and tools from above fall onto people working below.

- Install a sign system in the work area, use warning tape to delineate dangerous areas with the risk of falling objects.

- Arrange for support and warning of workers passing through the construction area.

- Provide tool bags for workers

Working environment

- Working environment with lots of dust and toxic fumes

 Causes lung disease

 Causes acute symptoms such as

eye, nose and throat irritation, dizziness, nausea.

- Equip workers with 3M dust masks

- Noisy working environment

 Causes occupational deafness or hearing loss.

- Equip workers with noise-canceling earplugs

- Workers working in unfavorable, narrow, too high or too low spaces  Suffer from occupational diseases due to incorrect working posture.

- Organize workers to take turns doing work in unfavorable, narrow spaces, with constrained working postures, not letting one person repeat a difficult job over and over again, avoiding the situation where one worker has to do it frequently.

- Subjective, careless at work.

- No professional qualifications or training for the job.

-Regularly check and monitor to detect problems early.

In case of shortcuts, carelessness, joking, playing around, or losing concentration during work, a reminder will be given.

 Wrong operation leads to labor accident.

+ High fall

+ Paint, lime splashed into eyes

+ Fire and explosion when mixing paint.

or punishment depends on the level of risk and frequency of recidivism of the worker.

- Periodically train on occupational safety and hygiene, develop survey questions and organize competitions to survey safety knowledge and professional capacity of workers to propose measures to improve or enhance training quality, and at the same time, based on the results of professional capacity of workers, arrange workers appropriately.

- Screening and only qualified people are allowed to work

+ Have working age in accordance with state regulations

+ have a health certificate from a medical facility

+ Professionally trained and experienced

use machines, portable electrical equipment, have equipment operating certificate and be officially assigned to work

Machinery, equipment, materials

- Chemicals and paint solvents used in paint application 

- Causes headaches and difficulty breathing, especially for patients with respiratory diseases such as asthma, sinusitis, etc., the symptoms will be

become heavier.

- Provide and provide workers with 3M odor-filtering masks, rubber gloves, and protective glasses.

- Install ventilation fans in paint mixing area

- Chemicals and paint solvents used in painting  splashing

in eyes during construction

- Equip and provide workers with protective glasses

- Paint mixing and storage places do not ensure fire safety

 Fire and explosion when mixing and storing paint.

- Eliminate all heat sources and spark generating equipment.

- Install ceiling mounted fire extinguisher ball

- Arrange fire extinguishers in neighboring areas

- Install ventilation fan

- Safety supervision, security department checks input and affixes safety labels to machinery and equipment to ensure safety, and safety supervision regularly checks, monitors, and removes old, damaged, and unsafe equipment from the construction site.

- Install protective mechanisms for missing machines and equipment.

- Scaffolding used is not safe

 Scaffolding collapse

 Falling materials onto people moving below

Organize self-inspection at the beginning of the shift to detect errors early for timely correction.

- Develop a safety checklist to inspect scaffolding daily.

- The team leader checks the scaffolding and supports to ensure that the scaffolding is stable enough before workers go to work every day. Whenever damage to the scaffolding or supports is detected, work must be temporarily stopped and immediate action taken.

Only after appropriate corrective action can work be resumed.

- Rope ladders are not safe:

Broken wire  Fall from height causes death.

- Check the condition of the cable before use.

-Equip rescue ropes and safety belts for workers.
