COSHA

Dominant Idea

life is the most important factor. Safety is the first thing in CS, and prevention is

priority. Relative laws, rules and codes must be followed. Responsibility system of safe production must

be established. Strengthening safety training and learning for

the workers, managers, engineers, etc.

COSHA

Relative Laws, Rules, Codes and Regulation

National laws and regulations

Law of Safe Production(Work Safety) Law of Construction Law of Labor (Labor Law) Law of Fire Control Regulation of Safety Control in Construction Regulation of License on Safe Production

Relative Laws, Rules, Codes and Regulation (Cont.)

Rules of Shanghai

Rule of fire control of Shanghai Manage rule of construction market of Shanghai Guarantee system of safety activities in

construction site of Shanghai (DGJ08-903-2003) Handbook of safety control technology in

construction site of Shanghai

COSHA

Responsibility System of Safety Production

Safety is the first thing in CS. Project manager, deputy manager, engineers and

workers all have their own safety responsibility in CS.

Project manager is the first person to be responsible for safety.

COSHA

Actualization of Safety

Confirm safety framework and everyone’s responsibility Enhance education and training of safety knowledge Control of safety document Purchase, check and accept of safety facilities Control of client Process control of construction Emergency rescue of accident

COSHA

Site Management of Safety

Project manager set the primary safety rules in CS Preparation before commencement Outlines of actualization Use of machinery in CS Scaffold engineering Safety of fire Construction with orderliness Seasonal construction

COSHA

Preparation before Commencement

Schedule of construction project have its safety control plan

Set responsibility system for safety in CS Safety training and education Insurance of accident Licensed system for people Check and accept of safety facility and construction

establishment

COSHA

Temporary Electricity in CS

Temporary electrical wire must be elevated 36V electric used for temporary lighting Electrical facility must be installed and maintained

by professional person Appropriate safety facilities and fire-fighting

equipment Regular inspection and maintenance

COSHA

Use of Machinery in Construction Site

Safety management Operator with professional safety training Safety of electricity Regular inspection Daily maintenance Guarantee measurement of safety

COSHA

Scaffold Engineering

Design, construction, usage and backout of scaffold must strictly obey to relative codes and regulations.

Quality guarantee of material of scaffold Regular safety inspection of scaffold Setting safety nets Compulsive inspection during and after extreme

weather (such as storm, typhoon, hurricane)

COSHA

Safety of Fire

Establishment of fire control plan.Management of fire control in CS.Setup fire-fighting team.Adequate fire-fighting equipment. Inspection.

COSHA

Construction with Orderliness

Keep company’s reputation Increase efficiency of lobar Bring into construction planning and scheduling

document Environment friendly (less pollution, less dust, etc) Lessen interference with residents Avoid breakage of underground pipe Less influence to neighborhood building (no

settlement, no crack)

COSHA

Seasonal Construction —— in Summer

　 Take action to avoid sunstroke Ensure healthy of food and keep sample for food Before and after storm, careful inspection must be done to the

false work, electrical wire and machinery Construction in rainy season, lightning proof and moisture proof

measurements must bring into effect Pay attention to disadvantages of high temperature to quality of

construction

COSHA

Seasonal Construction —— in Winter

　　Keep warm for construction workersKeep warm for curing of concrete and mortarTake action to avoid slip under freezing point

COSHA

Safety Inspection and Improvement

Safety inspectionMeasurements of correct and preventionInternal examinationSafety assessmentSafety recordIdentification of hidden Hazards

COSHA

Control of Hidden Trouble Safety operation in CS to reduce hidden trouble Hidden trouble including:

Unsafe operation of people Unsafe state of material and equipment Disfigurement of management

Control of hidden trouble: Disqualification equipments can not come into use Incompetent program can not pass Unsafe activities can not be done

 

The core of safety prevention is the sanity and renewable of guarantee system of safety production.

COSHA

Treat with Construction Accident

Emergency measures in CS Fact of accident come out Investigate the reasons Punish relative responsible persons Safety inspection Study on safety technology and give reasonable

recommendations

COSHA

Core of Safety Activity in CS

Safety of People Guarantee of Construction Quality Valid safety management Environment-Friendly Sustainable Development
