The report follows a health and safety inspection of the construction, administration office and welfare
facilities at Prestige Group, Flyover construction, Surat, India where company involves construction
projects of apartments and also road projects like flyover and pavements.
The inspection took place on 30 March 2014 between 0900 and 1600. The scope of this inspection is
to highlight areas of concern because there have been serious accidents and near- misses for the
past month. Around 300 workers at site and using hand held tools such as hammer, chisel, axe and
power tools such as drilling machine, portable electric disk cutter, crane and cement mixer etc..
Inspection has been conducted based on the visual observation and also in interviewing workforce

Executive Summary
At the completion of this inspection, I have concluded with recommendation which includes the time,
effort, money and control measures to mitigate/eliminate the health and safety issues observed
through are pointed out .Implementing on these control measures not only benefit the company
business image also boost employees morale and avoid any legal implication from the external
authorities, Direct and indirect cost associated for the company following an accident.
Key issues were found in the construction area activities are highlighted below.
A quick analysis of the cost shown in the recommendation can help to identify the cost implication to
overcome the key areas which can in turn help to protect our workers, property and more importantly
our ISO certification renewal and public image on our business.

*Observation#2:
Construction materials such as iron rods ,bricks, cement bags were stacked too high where workers
and publics are walking nearby and it has the potential to fall off from height , workers/public may get
crushed and result in serious personal injury not limited to bone fracture,cuts,bruises etc... Which is
against ILO-C155 Occupational Health and safety convention 1981 and Work at height regulation2005(WAHR).
Recommendation:
High-Impact aversion therapy training for all workers on safe stacking to completely eliminate this
issue and also barricading the area helps to prevent the pedestrians movement safe which both could
cost approximately USD250.
Observation#3:
Tipping operations being carried without the help of spotter where lot of workers were found to be
moving around and also no announcement being made to clear off the area that could alert the
workers to move away before the tipping operation started has the potential for workers even get
crushed when the load fall on them resulting in serious personal injury,fatality,head injury etc. which
breaches the legislation of ILO -C177- Home work convention ,1966(No.177)
Recommendation:
Interim provision of banks man allocated before tipping operation could start minimize the issue, to
completely eliminate this issue would be announcing before tipping operation starts and recruit a
spotter and train to master on signalling to the operator and ensure no one is around during tipping
operation which would cost approximately USD400.
Observation#4:
Tower crane operator where found to be no paper work of his license and certification that supposed
to be carried in the crane machine. Also no inspection/maintenance record where in place for crane
and its slings where it all could lead to serious property damage and fatality which breaches ILOR164-Occupation health and safety recommendation,1981(No.164)
Recommendation:
Enforcing strict rules all necessary paperwork should be in place in the crane such as operators
license and certification for crane and also inspection/maintenance records carried on weight lifting
equipments during operation .
Observation#5:
Excavator were reversed without the help of banks man and there are plenty of other workers working
around the excavation area and also no signage in place can lead to excavator may fall into the
excavation can cause property damage and also when it collide with pedestrians can leads to fatality
by getting crushed which breaches ILO-R175- Safety and health in Construction Recommendation,
1988(No.175)
Recommendation: Appoint interim spotter to minimize the consequence and to completely eliminate
recruit and train spotter which would cost approximately USD450.

Conclusions
At the outset, I would like to thank the management for giving me an opportunity to inspect on the
place where there is heavy mounted traffic and it found to be challenging with one of the biggest
construction of flyover project at Surat, India. Also would like to extend my thanks to each and every
workforce who helped me throughout this inspection, by understanding the importance of why I am
being here as it pertains to their safety instead that the inspector came to point out the issues out
there and hence misbehaving like not providing sufficient information when asked/look at me like a
police.
Workforce seems to be happy with the sufficient welfare facilities and adequate workload on them
with the shift basis, however there found to be still grey areas where management should focus on to
rectify them, such as
Excavation without protection could lead to falling of material/worker has the consequence of
serious personal injury and fatality, constructing a trench with adequate warning signage
would eliminate this hazard.
Construction materials were stacked too high has the potential to fall from height on to
workers can have significant head injury ,bone fracture etc. Reducing the height and training
would help to mitigate this issue.
Tipper and Excavators were reversed/operated without the help the banks man can lead to
striking of pedestrians around that area, to rectify this issue an interim spotter should be
identified to mitigate and to completely eliminate recruit and train the spotter.
Crane operation being carried out without any inspection record and also no paper work on
board such as crane operators licence and certification which could lead to cancelling the
license for that vehicle to operate and any accident may found to be breaching the statutory
law,to rectify ensure inspection carried out on schedule and necessary paper work on board
all the times.
Above issues were spotted as major which highlights the concern of serious moral, legal and
economical problems which in turn could damage the public image and reputation on us. Suitable
recommendation suggested on the spotted issue which Im bringing to your attention through this
report for implementation to rectify it without further delay.
