Why Health, Safety And Environment in Construction is Important

By

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) is an umbrella term for the laws, rules, guidance and processes designed to help protect employees, the public and the environment from harm. In the workplace, the responsibilities for designing and implementing appropriate procedures is often assigned to a specific department, often called the "HSE" department which is responsible for environmental protection, occupational health and safety at work.
                                                                       
HSE management has two general objectives:
-Prevention of incidents or accidents that might result from abnormal operating conditions
 -Reduction of adverse effects that result from normal operating conditions.
 Regulatory requirements play an important role in the role and HSE managers must identify and understand relevant HSE regulations, the implications of which must be communicated to executive management so the company can implement suitable measures.
 
      Organizations based in the United States are subject to EHS regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations, particularly CFR 29, 40, and 49. Still, EHS management is not limited to legal compliance and companies should be encouraged to do more than is required by law, if appropriate.


      From a health & safety standpoint, it involves creating organized efforts and procedures for identifying workplace hazards and reducing accidents and exposure to harmful situations and substances. It also includes training of personnel in accident prevention, accident response, emergency preparedness, and use of protective clothing and equipment.


    From an environmental standpoint, it involves creating a systematic approach to complying with environmental regulations, such as managing waste or air emissions all the way to helping sites reduce the company's carbon footprint.

                                                                       

Successful HSE programs also include measures to address ergonomics, air quality, and other aspects of workplace safety that could affect the health and well-being of employees and the overall community.
            Since the 1990s, general approaches to EHS management that may fit any type of organization have appeared in international standards such as:

●       ISO 14001 for environmental management
●       OHSAS 18001 for occupational health and safety management, first published in 1999
●      the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), developed by the European Commission in 1993
●      In 1998 the International Finance Corporation established EHS guidelines.

                                          Girder ●       Girder is the superstructure of viaduct on which the rail tracks are laid and train runs. ●       It rests on the piers, one at each end. ●       Since we have two tracks, each pier supports four U girders (two on each side) ●       U girder weighs around 140 Tons and is 25 m long. There are 3 bed in the Casting Yard for both U girders and pier cap – • Caging Bed • Casting Bed • Curing Bed Each Bed is Capable of Making four Girders simultaneously in a row. Methodology : 1.     Four Cages are fixed at the Cage Bed. 2.     Cleaning And Oiling of Mould/Shuttering of Casting bed is done. 3.     Lifting Of Cage and Shifting to Casting Bed is done. 4. ...

 Mumbai- Ahmedabad High Speed rail Project - A dream of many Indian Citizens. I think I’m enough competent to answer this question as in recent workshop with the Industry experts from Germany, Italy, Singapore, Japan, Thailand and Malasiya organized by Asian Development Bank Institute we have analysed the most potential high speed rail routes in India and overseas and discussed on various parameters like Economic benefits, Environmental aspects, Challenges, stakeholder management, Engineering aspects, Multi-modal Integration, Asthetics, Reduction in Carbon footprints etc. I can share one of the snap of the discussion. In the discussion, We have reviewed many reports on different high speed rails like Shinkansen, Intercity express, Trains à Grande Vitess, Alta Velocidad Española etc. Experts have come to the conclusion that the most competitiveness of HSR is high in distance from 500–700 km when compared to other modes of transportation like air, road etc while connecting two major ...
