On behalf of Safety Control Department I am pleased to issue this (SHE) Safety, Health and Environment manual to E&C division. This manual will serve as a ready reference for methods and procedures to be followed in Safety, Health & Environment by those who are
engaged in construction activity.
This four-section manual contains information based on the most current knowledge and practices with the SHE (Safety Health &
environment) much of this information based on practice and research and will remain relevant during the next decade. However changes are bound to occur that will require Site managers to find innovative
solutions to SHE problems on the job.

I appreciate the assistance given by D.Venugopal our consultant, all team members of safety assurance team and my colleagues in the preparation of the text of the manual.
I hope, By following safe methods and procedures in construction let us all in L & T E & C division make Safety - A way of life.

3.2.5. Positive Reporting on Safety At Construction Sites 3.2.5.1. Objective
Procedure Nos. CSC-01 and CSC-02 deal with reporting of accidents and mishaps at E & C Division construction sites. These reports give negative information, albeit necessary, about Safety Performance & Management at the sites and enables measurement of safety in terms of reduction in injury/harm/loss.
However, when Safety Performance is good, and injury & loss are low at a particular site, these negative measurements are not sufficient to have adequate feedback for managing safety, because potential for injury/mishap may be high at the site but likelihood of risk of events may be very low. Hence, absence of accidents is not a sufficient indication of good Safety Management and other measurements of Safety Performance are necessary to have assurance that the absence of accidents is due to good Safety Management.
3.2.5.2. Procedure
The Procedure deals with formally reporting to the Safety Control Department (SCD) of E & C Division, at Powai, in writing, about the positive aspects of safety such as follows in construction activities at sites.
(a) Compliance to Safety Control Procedures (CSC) in the Procedure Manual.
(b) Provision and use of APTs to/by L&T and Contractors at site
(c) Regular On-site training of workmen, mock fire-drills etc. (d) First Aid and Fire Fighting Training of site personnel (e) Any additional safety provision at site
(f) Any aspect of safety promotion at site such as Safety Slogans/essay/quiz competition, safety poster display etc.
Before reporting, RCM/E should ensure that the following requirements are met:
(I) Compliance/provision being reported must be of permanent/regular nature, i.e. they must continue at the site until the site is closed.
(II) Compliance/provision must be seen as having definite and positive effects on preventing mishaps and personal injuries at the site.
3.2.5.3. Administration
(a) Whenever a positive action is taken at the site, RCM/E will send its details to SCD in the form attached to this Procedure. Both RCM/E and SSO will sign the form.
(b) The information may be sent at any time, as and when the positive safety action is taken at the site.
(c) Safety Officer from SCD will check the actual provision of the measure/s reported by RCM/E, when he visit the site. (d) SCD will record the action and use it for co-relation of such actions with the Safety Performance of the site and also use it for safety awards, when instituted in E & C Division.

Efforts to correct/improve poor safety performance and to maintain good safety performance will be put by people at the site, if they know about the current performance, on continuous basis.
One of the methods of informing persons working at the site about safety performance of the site, is by displaying it on a board which is placed prominently and up-dated daily. Persons working at the site, when they read the information on the Board, will feel proud of their good safety performance and will strive to maintain it.
The objective of this Procedure is to require all construction sites to display information about the safety performance of their individual sites.
3.2.7.1.2. Procedure
The Procedure deals with the preparation, installation and updating of the Display-Board giving up-do-date, correct and accurate information about safety performance of the construction site, where the Board is installed.

3.5 Safety Committee 3.5.1. Introduction:
Statutorily (See section 38 of The Building and other construction workers (Regulation of employment and condition of service) Act 1996) each site should have a safety committee having equaled number of representatives from management and workers/ contractors. A well-planned safety committee is a great motivator for safety. It’s primary purpose is to enable management and workers to work together to monitor the site safety plan, so as to prevent accidents and improve working conditions on site. Its size and membership will depend on the size and nature of the site and upon differing legal and social conditions in the state concerned, but it should always be an action orientated group of people in which both management and workers are represented. The safety committee carrying out a site inspection together raises the level of safety consciousness at the site.
The procedure for forming the safety committee, scope and objectives of the committee, meeting procedures, minutes preparation and circulation and follow up action is listed in annexure.
