2.0. About Project

2.1. Project Aim

The primary aim of IDIPT is to enhance contribution of the Tourism sector to

sustainable and inclusive economic growth through increased volume of domestic
and international tourists.

2.2. Project Objective

Objectives of the Infrastructure Development Investment Program for
Tourism (IDIPT) are to:

a. To enhance quality of natural and cultural Tourist attractions;

b. To provide innovative Livelihood opportunities at local Community
level;
c. To improve basic urban/rural infrastructure and services;
d. To improve connectivity;
e. To strengthen the capacity of concerned sector agencies and local
communities;
f. To enhance the capacity to promote public participation and small
businesses;
 g. To focus on the Environmental management and quality of the
sites.

2.3. Project Output

The Project comprises of the following outputs:

1) Enhanced quality of natural and cultural attractions.

2) Greater participation by local communities in Tourism related
economic and livelihood activities
3) Improved basic Urban Infrastructure and incidental services at
Tourist Destinations and Gateways.
4) Improved connectivity to Tourist Attractions.
5) Strengthened Capacity of sector agencies and local communities for
planning, development, management and marketing of Tourist
destinations and attractions and promoting Private sector
participation and Small Businesses.

The existing Infrastructure is inadequate to cater to the needs of tourist as

well as the resident population. It is therefore necessary to improve the basic
amenities to the public. Some proposed key interventions and improvements that
have been a direct bearing on the tourist wellbeing are:

a. Installation of LED Light - Good level of illumination will help to

manage mixed traffic, pedestrians, tourists, safety, crime reduction etc. It
is therefore necessary for a well-planned and integrated installation of
lighting with energy efficient fixtures. In addition to contributing to the
aesthetic appeal, it will contribute to the safety of the visitors, prevent
crimes and provide a boost to night Tourism activities. The key
considerations for energy efficient lighting includes Safety & Security,
Energy-saving, Cost-effectiveness, Night Tourism and frolic to all age
groups.
b. Signage–Display of Signage Boards are required on key roads
connecting transport centers like Bus-stand and Railway stations to the
core tourist areas. The Signage Boards must serve as a guide to the
visiting tourists. Ease and beauty of such signages make the tourists to
navigate to their destinations more friendly and popular. Signage helps to
navigate in their destinations with ease and without difficulties.
c. Infra Development- Infrastructure development in existing and new
sites are proposed to cater the needs of the increase in Tourists afflux.
Wherein, infrastructure development attracts more tourist’s population,
coupled with improving the economic stability and social wellbeing of
people in the destination.
d. Improvement Works– The available facilities in the existing Tourist
destinations are not sufficient to fulfil the demands of the existing and
future tourist population. As such planning for a Sustainable Growth,
improvement works are being carried out to provide the development of
social and cultural status of the tourist destinations.
e. Improvements at Heritage and Museum– Improvement works at
the Heritage and Museum sites retain/enhance the safety, originality and
quality of the different aspects of Monuments. Further, upgradation of the
infrastructure attracts more tourist’s population, apart from improving the
economy status of the area.
f. Ferry and Boats – To increase the Tourists populations, an additional,
entertainment transport facility in waterways is proposed. Also, the
establishment of ferry and boats increases the tourist inflow as well as the
revenue.
g. Capacity Building and Training Program – To create awareness
and improve the skills of the indigenous community, capacity building is
taken as a conceptual approach for a desirable social and behavioral
changes that leads to infrastructure development. Training program
focuses on understanding the strengths of people and helps in achieving
 the objectives of the tourism development. The program also helps in
tiding over the obstacles that inhibit people, governments, international
organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from realizing
their development goals and enhancing the abilities that will allow them to
achieve measurable and sustainable results.

3.SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION
Workplace safety is very important for each and every employee in the
construction industry because all the workers desire to work in a safe and
protected atmosphere. Health and safety is the key factor for all the
industries in order to promote the wellness of both employees and
employers. It is a duty and moral responsibility of the contractor to look
after the employee’s protection.
Safe and healthy workplace not only protects workers from injury and
illness, it can also lower injury/illness costs, reduce absenteeism and
turnover, increase productivity and quality, and raise employee morale. In
other words, safety is good for business. Plus, protecting workers is the
right thing to do.
Here are a few areas to consider when protecting personnel in the
construction industry when a construction worker climbs a ladder, works on a
roof or works around cranes and other heavy equipment, safety is important. All
of the workers on the construction site
Safety plan is a document that outlines the procedures, rules, and regulations
that are or will be put in place to protect workers over the course of a
construction project.
The Contractor should confirm with all the workers related to their daily work
and comfort. So , that the contractor can take the same step according to the
desired aspects of workers. This helps them in improving the productivity and
quality of the products and lot more.

4.Basic Objectives of Workplace Safety

The basic objectives of workplace safety are as follows −
 Preservation of and assistance for employees’ or workers’ health and well-
being
 Enhancing workability of employees by ensuring a safe and congenial work
environment
  Secure the health and safety of workers and workplace by eliminating or
minimizing risks
 Achieve higher productivity among the employees by providing a safe and
secure environment
 Focus on employees’ safety and health arising from chemicals and
hazardous elements used at workplaces.

5.SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS

Construction safety in India is still in its early years because

safety laws are not strictly enforced. The contractors ignore many basic safety
rules and regulations from the start of any work. Although, to improve working
conditions, the government has enacted specific legislations like the Minimum
Wages Act, the Workmen’s Compensation Act of 1923 (modified in 1962), and the
Contract Labor (Regulation and abolition) Act of 1970, of which only a small
amount scope and procedures are put into practice. National Building Code of
India, 2005 provides guidelines for regulating construction activities for a building;
across the country along with many IS codes of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS),
such as, SP70-Handbook on Construction Safety Practices for site engineers,
Project Managers, and engineers-in-charge of buildings and civil works.

7.List of Hazards in a Construction Site

Construction Industry was found to be the main industry for fatal injuries
to workers. Construction hazards are heavily dependent on the type of
work being carried out..
The top ten risks and hazards from working on construction sites are:
 Working at height.
 Moving objects.
 Slips, trips, and falls.
 Noise.
 Hand arm vibration syndrome.
 Material and manual handling.
 Collapsing trenches.
 Electricity.

Working at Height
The Worker working at height is the most common cause of fatal injuries to
workers.
  Suitable training is required for all employees who work at height.
Employees should be trained in working on different pieces of
equipment and surfaces, such as how to work safely on scaffolding,
ladders, and roofs.
 A plan should be devised to ensure all work is carried out safely. The
employee must have received the correct training in working at height,
and must be aware of the safety procedures they should follow when
doing so.
 Working at height must be properly planned and supervised, and
certain approaches and precautions should be adopted. Rope to tie in
one end and it is to be tied on his waist.
 Avoid working at height where possible. For example, if something can
be assembled on ground level, do it there.
 Use equipment with an extra level of safety to reduce the risk of a fatal
fall. For example, a scaffold with a double guard-rail.
 Minimize the consequences of a fall, for example by providing a safety
net.
Moving Objects
A construction site is an ever-changing environment, and construction
hazards continue to increase as construction is underway. There are many
moving objects commonly encountered on construction sites. These
include overhead lifting equipment, supply vehicles, and diggers, all of
which move around a usually uneven terrain.
 Avoid working close to the moving object.
 Be vigilant of their surroundings, especially if the object does not have
lights or beepers.
 Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as a high visibility
jacket, to ensure they are seen.
Slips, Trips, and Falls
 Slips, trips, and falls can happen in almost any environment. As construction
sites often have uneven terrain, buildings at various stages of completion,
and unused materials on site, it is unsurprising that slips, trips, and falls are
a common hazard.
several workers are injured every year following a slip or trip, and that most
of these could be avoided by effectively managing working areas and
access routes, such as stairwells and footpaths.
 Safety officer must effectively manage the site so that workers can
move around it safely. Risks should always be reported and sorted to
reduce the chances of injury.
 Uneven surfaces – The risk of these can be reduced by providing
walkways that are clearly designated as walkways, having good
conditions underfoot, and being well lit.
 Obstacles – Instances of slipping and tripping over obstacles can be
dramatically reduced by everyone keeping their work and storage areas
tidy and designating specific areas for waste collection.
 Trailing cables – Cordless tools should be used where possible. If this is
not possible, cables should be run at high levels.

Noise
Noise is a common construction hazard. Loud, repetitive, and excessive
noise causes long term hearing problems, such as deafness. Noise can also
be a dangerous distraction and may distract the worker from the task at
hand, which can cause accidents.

Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome

(HAVS) is a painful and debilitating disease of the blood vessels, nerves,
and joints. It is usually caused by the prolonged use of hand-held power
tools, including vibratory power tools and ground working equipment.
 workers should be given appropriate protection when using vibrating
tools, and equipment should be well maintained.
Material and Manual Handling
Materials and equipment are constantly being lifted and moved around
construction sites, whether this be manually or by equipment. Either way,
handling carries a degree of risk.
Workers involved in manual handling, adequate training must be provided.
And workers operating lifting equipment, must be trained in how to use this
and a test should be taken to check their ability to use the equipment
safely.

Collapsing Trenches
A common occurrence on construction sites is the collapsing of
trenches with workers inside..
Precautions for collapse need to be taken before work starts.
Electricity
It is harmful to be exposed to electrical live parts. Harm can occur either
by touching live parts directly or indirectly by a conducting object or
material.
Most of these accidents arise from contact with overhead or underground
power cables and electrical equipment/machinery. Electrical hazardous
happens due to improperly maintain of control panels, without plug top
connecting to panel and more Joints of wires.

8.Preventive accident measures

The following safety measures will therefore serve to reduce the accident rate in
mixing and placing of concrete used in the casting of footings, foundation walls,
floor slabs, beams, columns, retaining walls, sidewalks, driveways, and patios in a
building project.
 Wear sturdy work gloves, long sleeves, and full length trousers to protect
your hands, arms, and legs. Indirect contact through clothing can be as
serious as direct contact, so promptly rinse out wet concrete or mortar
from clothing.
 Wear rubber boots when placing and handling concrete for slabs and
flatwork, because you may sometimes have to stand in the wet mix to
spread and screed the concrete.
 Make sure the boots are high enough to prevent concrete from getting
inside them.
 To protect the eyes from cement dust and from splattered mortar or
concrete, wear safety glasses or goggles.
 Since masonry involves heavy lifting, be careful to avoid back strain and
injury—always bend your knees, keep your back straight, and lift with your
legs.
 The deeper the concrete, the greater the pressure it will exert on the
formwork, so don’t be afraid to use an extra stake or two to help ensure
that forms will not bulge or bow out of shape during the pour. Drive
supporting stakes slightly below the height of the string so they won’t
interfere with leveling or finishing the concrete surface.
 On Construction projects, it is more common to use wheelbarrows or
buggies to move the concrete from the mixer to the forms. You can build
ramps and runways over the forms to keep them from bumping the boards
or displacing the reinforcing steel out of place.
