Moral: -
Moral, general legal and financial
arguments
Hornbill Properties Developers as an organization has moral responsibility to protect his workers
from hazard, risk & accident while working. As an esteemed organization if we failed to control the
construction activity with robust control measures and if failed to prevent the accidents workers
and employees may encounter with accidents and resulted personal injuries. Worker joining our
organization for the survival of their own and their family in means of financial. If we failed workers
will suffer from various injuries such as fire burn injury, eye injury, skin irritation, lungs irritation,
head injury, multiple bone fracture, neck injury, and spinal injury, fatal. Workers family, relative &
friends will suffer on his loss (fatal), disabilities. If workers suffer on injury or ill health, it will affect
co-worker’s morality in work as they will feel our construction site are not safe for their health and
safety. It reduces the productivity & quality of the project outcome.
Financial: -
If we failed to take above mentioned control measure, employer financially might be affected in
following cost,
In failure of these above categories the workplace will be unsafe and be more risk full will cause the
serious accident and lost such as fatalities, injuries, object lost and damaged property.
In result the employer will be prosecuted in criminal courts by the enforcement authority, the
successful prosecution may in results of fine in criminal courts and imprisonment.
And also the employer will face the serious damages need to be overcome because of various
direct and indirect costs following by the accident such as recruiting the new workers and it costs,
new training programs, and insurance coverage. So the management should focus and consider
Around 50 thousand rupees shall be spent to carry out the third party load testing at site by
competent person and approximately 200 thousand to be spent to design and install robust
anchoring point at roof and standard lifelines and rope grab fall arrester and around 250 thousand
rupees shall be spent to raise purchase the confined space rescue equipments. Our company can
complete the control measure implementation work in 500000 INR to avoid huge loss. If company
fails to take additional control measure, company will face huge financial loss. Its cost around
5000000 times in INR. It is 10 times higher than additional control measure cost.
Action Mobile crane must have tested by certified competent person for its load bearing capacity
(Category – Load Handling Equipment)
As per ILO recommendation R175 clause no 22 “Lifting appliances and Gears”” National laws or
Specific legal arguments
regulations should prescribe the lifting appliances and items of lifting gear which should be examined
and tested by a competent person-”, (a) before being taken into use for the first time, (b) after erection
on a site, (c) subsequently at intervals prescribed by such national laws or regulations, (d) after any
substantial alteration or repair.
Employers must be having the process to ensure the regular inspection and renewal of third party
inspection certificates of all lifting appliances.
Also employers shall appoint the designated engineer or in charge to carry out and ensure the
maintenance of all lifting equipment.
Using mobile crane without valid load test certificate may have deteriorated lifting gears and

malfunctioning load indicators. It will have high likelihood of operator cannot assess the load that is
being lifted and failure of lifting gears during lifting and toppling of mobile crane. The severity caused
by the incident is too high. This may result in serious and fatal injuries to operator and other multiple
workmen nearby because this work is being done at regular basis at the construction site. this will
lead to severe financial losses in means of material damage, insurance claim and other medical
expenses claim to the organisation.

(Category – Working at Height)
As per ILO convention C167 article 18 “WORK AT HEIGHT INCLUDING ROOF WORKS” point
Specific legal arguments
1” Where necessary to guard against danger, or where the height of a structure or its slope
exceeds that prescribed by national laws or regulations, preventive measures shall be taken
against the fall of workers and tools or other objects or materials”.
Employers must ensure the proper anchoring points are designed by the expert team as per local
and international standards to ensure the rigidity of the anchoring points.
Also proper fall protection and prevention equipments shall be made available for the usage of
workers and staffs at site.
Allowing workers to carryout work in the roof without proper and robust anchoring points and lifeline
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
to hook the safe harness has high likelihood of fall of persons from roof at height. The severity and
result of fall of person from height is extreme because continuous height work activity is being carried
out at many places in this project. It will cause in serious head injuries, back injuries, Paralysis and
mostly fatal to multiple workers. Multiple injuries and fatalities will cost heavy financial loss to
company in terms of medical expenses and insurances claim.
How effective the action is likely to be in To avoid the fall of workers from roof, robust anchoring points to be designed and installed at roof in
controlling the risk. This should include: regular interval to anchor and install the lifeline. Also standard horizontal lifeline system with rope
grabs fall arrester to be installed in the anchoring point to secure the workmen full body harness. Also
Rescue equipment setup for confined space shall be arranged as per standard. (Category –

Confined Space)
As per Indian Building and other construction workers act 1996 and central rules 1998 rule no 36
Specific legal arguments
“An employer shall ensure at a construction site of a building or other construction work that in case
more than five hundred building workers are employed at such construction site emergency action
plan to handle the emergencies”.
Employers or project manager must be arranging the necessary rescue equipments availability at
site.
Also all involved workers and staffs must be trained for the safe working inside the confined space
area and emergency mock drill shall be conducted on regular basis to meet and respond the
emergency situation effectively.
Working inside the confined space is having high likelihood of workmen affected by dangerous

atmosphere and other physical hazards. The severity of working inside confined space without proper
and standby rescue equipment is high. This may cause the time delay or unable to retrieve injured
or affected workmen in time. If we rescue person without proper equipment it will worsen the injury
or health condition of workers. So worker injury may be enlarged or even fatal can happen due to
time delay. This confined space activity will be carried out at main admin building and main control
building areas regularly by 5 to 10 workmen continuously.
How effective the action is likely to be in To avoid delay of rescuing injured or affected workmen from confined space, Rescue equipment
controlling the risk. This should include: setup for confined space shall be arranged as per standard and Multi gas testers shall be used
continuously to measures the level of hazardous gas inside the confined space. If sais measures are
the intended impact of the action;
implemented confined space atmosphere will be monitored regularly and in case of emergency
justification for the timescale that you injured person will be retrieved in time. I believe proposed additional control measures bring the high
indicated in your risk assessment; risk to acceptable level. I would give 1 month of time for purchasing of confined space rescue

How the risk assessment findings will be After preparation of risk assessment in details safety committee meeting will be arranged along with
communicated AND who you need to tell all committee members and responsible person. Finding of the risk assessment its likelihood,
severity and possible outcomes will be explained to all persons. Then identified and prosed control
measures, responsible person to complete the task and time limit to complete the task will be
