EHS (Environment, Health & Safety)

We cant be committed to what we are doing, if we cant see good reason for doing it- we must be convinced why it!!

First duty of business is to survive. The guiding principle for business economics is not maximizing profit but avoidance of loss. Peter Drucker

Investment in reduction of losses contributes directly to profit and is also cost effective. EHS adds positive company culture & values. EHS is also Business risk as total financial cost to business is high. For e.g. One accident can Cause more than 10 days of loss of work = no project activity.

Why EHS? Moral responsibility. Regulatory Compliance. Financial responsibility. Reputation of company / management

First law: The Building and other Construction Workers Act (1996) Chapter IX-Clause 44: Responsibility of Employer OHSAS: ISO 180001:2007 Operation Health & Safety Assessment Services How to AVOID them Proactive approach Effective Planning & Training Cost monitoring TEAM WORK

SAFETY: freedom from unacceptable risk/ harms. But thing is how to distinguish from acceptable and unacceptable Risks. Standards/ Statutes/ Best Practices/ Companys own guideline (YARD STICKS)

RISK MANAGEMENT Its first thing done on reaching project site. All risks are noted down and based on importance, risks are evaluated and prioritized and control actions are taken STEP 1: RISK ASSESSMENT- Multi-discipline teams all critical activities are covered Identification of hazard Evaluating probability of unwanted event. Evaluating severity of consequences. Arriving at risk values & prioritizing

STEP 2: Determine CONTROL MEASURES to reduce risk to ALARP (as low as..)

Safety Culture Maturity Model Dependent-> Independent-> Interdependent (PUT SOME GRAPH? PHOTO) HAZARD: anything that has potential to cause harm to PAER (Person, Asset, Environment and Reputation) PHYSICAL HAZARD
