sites

4. Large number of seasonal and migrant
workers not familiar with construction activities
5. Many different trades and occupations
involved in construction activity

Accident Prevention
Accident
prevention
involves
the
identification and elimination of causes
before an accident occurs.
Accident reaction is what most supervisors
practice-investigating the accident to
determine
the
causes
and
then
implementing corrective actions to avoid
reoccurrence.
This helps eliminate future accidents from a
specific cause, but does nothing to address
avoiding the accident that just occurred.

Identification
of
Potentials-Employee
behavior/procedures and/or the condition
of
equipment/environment
are
always
involved.
The ability to monitor and evaluate these
elements on a continuous basis can identify
work practices and conditions that have the
ability to produce accidents.
Eg.
Lifts
maintenance--Whenever
the
potential to cause an accident/injury is apparent,
corrective action must be implemented.

"Foresight Programs"
"Foresight Programs" must be a joint
effort (supervisor and employee) with
objectives that are pre-determined.
Audit teams must be developed, and
observations of work practices in
designated
areas
must
be
scheduled.

Accident Control
In the event that an accident does
occur, Supervisors will be
instrumental in the control of the
accident.
Accident control can be broken down
into three phases:
1. Accident response
2. Accident investigation
3. Corrective actions
11/22/16
Shivakami Rajan
55
Accident response
Evacuate personnel to a safe area and tend to
injured
personnel
immediately.
Initiate
the
appropriate level of response for the accident.
Secure the accident scene as soon as safely
possible.
This ensures that unauthorized personnel will not
wonder into the accident scene and possibly
be injured or exposed.
Control of property damage can be addressed
after attending to personnel issues and
initiating the emergency response system
11/22/16
Shivakami Rajan
56
Accident Investigation
supervisors should attempt to preserve evidence
associated with the accident. This can be critical
to determining the cause of an accident.
The evidence can be collected once the
investigation team has been assembled and the
investigation begun
supervisors should consider taking photographs
or videotape of the accident scene. This level of
documentation will be helpful at a later date
when discussing the accident and can be used
for training purposes

Corrective Actions
Corrective actions are actions taken to
prevent the reoccurrence of an accident.
Corrective actions can be identified after
the root cause(s) of the accident have
been identified
Once corrective actions have been
implemented, the work area supervisor
must
monitor
and
evaluate
their
effectiveness with regard to eliminating
the causes of the accident.
