1 RISK ASSESSMENT, DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY MEASURES A well - defined Risk Management Plan is made as follows: STEP 1: Define the Projects/Tasks Site Clearing Excavation Raft RCC slab Block work / plastering External plastering Joinery - frame fixing Flooring Interior works Windows fixing Flooring False ceiling Painting Services I.Electrical II.Plumbing III.Fire fighting Equipments i. Elevator ii. STP /WTP iii. Hard and landscape STEP 2: Identify the Hazards a) Are you using (Tick boxes) [ ] Plant/Equipment [ ] Portable Electrical Equipment [ X ] Pressure Vessels/Boilers [ ] Scaffolding [ ] Ladders [ ] Lifts/Hoists/Cranes/Dogging/Rigging/Load

2 [ X ] Hazardous Substances Shifting Machinery b) Does the project/task involve (Tick boxes) [ ] using tools/equipment with [ ] working around electrical installations moving part(s) [ ] working near traffic [ ] using tools/equipment that vibrate [ ] working at a height (>3m) [ x ] working with x-rays,or lasers [ ] working in isolation [ ] electrical wiring [] working in a confined space [ x ] asbestos removal [ ] manual handling [ ] welding [ ] repetitive or awkward movements [ x ] hazardous waste [ x ] lifting or moving awkward or heavy objects [ ] excavation / trenches (>1.5m) c) Is there (Tick boxes) [ ] noise [ ] dust/fumes/vapors/gases [ x ] extreme temperatures [ x ] risk of fire/explosion [ ] slippery surfaces/trip hazards [ x ] poor ventilation/air quality [ x ] a poorly designed work area for the project/task STEP 3: Assess the Risk Activities Air A.

3 Risk Factor: + : Positive - : Negative L : Low M : Medium H : High For any projects/tasks that present a high or extreme risk, a Safe Work Method Statement must be completed. STEP 4: Control the Risk Note how you will control the risk following the priorities listed to the right. This may include controls like redesigning the workplace, using guards or barriers, ventilation, using lifting equipment or personal safety equipment. Eliminate the Hazard Keep the Hazard and People Apart Change the Work Methods Use Personal Protection Note any specific risk assessments required for high-risk hazards. Check whether any hazards noted in step 2 require further assessment or action. [ x ] hazardous substance risk assessment [ ] confined spaces risk assessment [] test and tag electrical equipment [ ] sound level test a) Note Permits/Licenses/Registration required [x ] Demolition work [ x ] Friable asbestos removal [ ] Electrical wiring [ x ] Ionizing radiation sources [ x ] Pressure vessels [ ] registers for chemicals, Personal protective Equipment, training, ladders, lifting gear b) Note certificates of competency/licenses for operators [ ] Scaffolding [ ] Pesticide application [ ] Rigging [ ] Crane operation [ ] Load shifting machinery operation [ ] Hoist operation c) Note emergency systems required

4 [ ] first aid kit [ ] extended first aid kit [ ] emergency stop button [ ] additional emergency procedures [ ] Fire control [ ] remote communication mechanism [ x ] others STEP 5: Actions Required to Control the Risk A. During construction to reduce pollution: Manual water sprinkling during dust excavation Using RMC to reduce air pollution Dust cover for Trucks New Construction Machinery Equipment will work intermittently Rotary drillers instead of acoustic drillers Vehicular trips will not be at peak traffic hour Ear Plugs to workers No noise polluting work in night shifts B.Safety & Hygienic Measures: Adequate drinking water, toilet and bathing facilities There will be free medical camps and first aid rooms for workers Safety equipments like helmets, safety shoes etc. to personnel and visitors Personnel protective equipments like leather gloves, goggles and ear muffs when required Personnel working on heights will wear safety equipments and will not work alone To prevent any accidents, the entire area under construction will be cordoned off with tin sheets and safety tape is run outside this fence Regular pest control will be done Adequate fire fighting equipments will be provided Operational Phase: Risks in the complex will be due to natural calamities like earthquake, flooding and others such as fire and accidental hazards. All precautions will be taken to control these risks. Fire fighting system shall be provided as per regulations of Chief Fire Officer. For

5 earthquake resistance, the structural design shall be as per is certified as per IS code 875 and IS for Seismic Zone 3 of Chennai. First Aid Facilities: Construction projects will comes under the highly hazard or specific hazard category. Requirement of the first aid provision at work depends on several factors including size of the undertaking, number of employees, hazard arising, access to medical services, workers in isolated locations, etc., Construction phase we have plan to appoint one trained first aider for this proposed development project, and a registered nurse. First Aid Room: Location, Work Space, Work Environment, Signs & Management the First Aid room easily accessible during working hours and also close to road access. The first aid room should be easily recognizable signs. First Aid Minimum Requirements for this proposed construction project: Furniture & Fittings: Wash basin with hot and cold water supplies, Desk, work bench or dressing trolley, Telephone, Electric power points, Couch with blankets and pillows. Medical Requirements: Examination Table, Examination Lamp, Stretcher Lifting Frame or similar device for transporting patients, First aid kit, Dressing clothes and gloves, soap, disposable towels, trays and bowls.
