Identification of Occupational Safety and Health Hazard and Risk Assessment for Installing Self-Climbing Platform (SCP) at High Rise Building in Construction Industry

Abstract

Occupational hazards are a major concern in the construction industry, particularly for specialized operations like tiling where workers are exposed to many risks. These risks are often brought on by the physically demanding nature of the work, the use of dangerous materials, and the unsteady circumstances seen on building sites. This study aims to thoroughly investigate the occupational risks associated with installing self-climbing platforms, with a focus on identifying potential risks, conducting risk assessments, and suggesting suitable management mechanisms to reduce risks. The Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) assessment form should be used to analyze the occupational hazards. The likelihood and severity were assessed using a risk matrix based on the inspection. A serious risk to health and safety was discovered. In order to accomplish the goal of this study, hierarchy control was used to recommend the best control measure for each detected hazard. The results of this study will be very helpful to the resource-constrained construction businesses that wish to increase productivity and lower all possible risks. In order to improve safety standards in the construction industry, this study provides a thorough analysis of the occupational hazards that employees face and presents workable solutions.
