Providing “safe” workplace requires a proactive, precautionary approach that seeks to eliminate all risk factors inherent in a job or at least ameliorate the impact of their occurrence on. This approach is wrapped up in the term “Safety Management System. A typically effective safety management system should encapsulate the actions managers at all levels take in order to create an organisational setting in which workers will be trained and motivated to perform safe and productive construction jobs. Amongst other things, this system must include Designation of Safety Responsibilities to Trained Personnel; Direct Safety Talks with workers; Adequate &
Timely supply of PPEs; Regular Safety Audit; Systematic Hazard Identification; Assessment of Risk Level; Safety orientation for new/transferred workers; Pre-project safety trainings received; Safety Trainings Received; Scheduled in-house inspections; Proper display of safety/ caution signs; Resident Safety Officer at sites; Availability & adequacy of clinical services; Functional Fire Extinguishers; and Clarity of Emergency Exit. All these must be well articulated into a perfect whole that is fitly integrated into the entire work process company-wide. Implementation must be effectively executed and closely monitored by Safety Unit. Furthermore, safety performance expectations must be in line with best global practices, international
conventions, national and industry applicable requirements and local laws for a safety management system to be rated above benchmark
