Safety Management System in Pune Metro Rail Projects

INTRODUCTION

General : Due to rapid industrialization, industrial workers are exposed to several types of hazards and accidents. Every year lakhs of workers are injured due to mechanical, chemical, electrical and radiation hazards and it leads to partial or total disablement. So in recent years, greater attention is given to health and safety due to pressure from government, trade unions, labour laws and awareness of employers. The efficiency of workers depends to a great extends on the environment in which the work. Work environment consists of all the factors, which act and react on the body and mind of an employee. The primary aim is to create an environment, which ensures the greatest ease of work and removes all causes of worries. Occupational safety is a discipline with a broad scope involving many specialized fields. In its broadest sense, it should aim at: A) The prevention among workers of adverse effects on health caused by their B) The placing and maintenance of workers in an occupational environment adapted to physical and mental needs. About Safety Safety refers to the absence of accidents. Stated differently, safely refers to the protection of workers form the danger of accidents. Safety, in simple terms, means freedom from the occurrence or risk of injury or loss. Industrial safety or employee safety refers to the protection of workers from the danger

radiation results in personal injury. Accidents are of different types. They may be classified as major and minor ones, depending upon the seventy of the injury. Construction sites are dangerous places where injury or death or illness can cause to workers. These can happen due to electrocution, falling from height, injuries from tools, equipment and machines; being hit by moving construction vehicles, injuries from manual handling operations, illness due to hazardous substance such as dust, chemicals, .etc. Even a nail standing up from a discarded piece of wood can cause serious injury if trodden on in unsuitable shoes. Statistics of accidents in the construction industry in India are scarce. The rate of accidents on construction industry is very high not only in India but also in many other countries including the developed. Statistics of UK, USA and some other countries indicate that the industry has a very high hazard potential and high incidence of fatal accidents. For example, the average yearly rate of accidents for 1000 worker in the construction industry in UK is approximately 4 times the corresponding average rate of all manufacturing industries. This article will focus on various aspects of safety in construction sites Significance: The infrastructure projects progress is very important from public utilization point of view .Delay in metro infrastructure projects causes the increasing the total cost of project also of impact of social environment at that site palace .It is observed that accidents causes the impact on progress of metro projects so the proper safety measures need to consideration while planning and execution of projects

LITERATURE REVIEW

Ahmed Senouci (2015) Author finds that 1) identify the major safety risk factors in Qatari building construction sites and 2) apply risk management technique to assess the impact of these risk factors. A questionnaire was designed based on a comprehensive literature review and feedback from safety engineers working in the Qatari construction industry. The questionnaires were distributed among practitioners with varied positions, duties, and work experiences to collect different opinions and views. The questionnaire included three main parts.

This paper indentify dentify and present patterns in occupationalnsafety and wellness studies within construction projects. The purpose of this study is to understand safety issues, causes of accidents, and site injuries. The reasons for construction project accidents are worker neglect, high-level work, non-safe working facilities, bad site management, repetitive routine, low accidents. In this way, the complexity of the activities is increasing. .

The current research project focuses on safety inspections, which is considered one of the main responsibilities of a safety manager A thorough examination of construction site safety is critical in avoiding accidents. UAVs can identify critical risks, and accident prevention procedures can be implemented right away A significant benefit of drone usage on jobsites occurs before and during the construction.

OBJECTIVES

1) To study the causes of unexpected circumstance on construction site by taking suitable case study 2) To analysis different roles and responsibilities of employee in the view of safety on sites 3) To prepare a separate checklist for safety norms for metro projects

Track 1- Detailed study about necessary for infrastructure will be carried out Track 2-Detailed study about the safety provisions can adopted in infrastructure projects Track 3-By taking Pune metro case study To analysis different roles and responsibilities of employee in the view of safety on sites Track 4-Prepation of checklist for safety norms for metro projects

Pune Metro is an urban Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) with 3 lines under construction in the city of Pune, Maharashtra by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) and Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA). 31.254 km Pune Metro Phase 1 project‘s Detailed Project Report (DPR) with 2 metro lines and 29 stations was prepared & submitted by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation in July 2009, revised in November 2015 to reflect current prices. Although the State Government approved the project in 2012, it had run into red tape, politics and opposition from local NGOs & activists over its mostly elevated nature. The project received a final approval from the Union Government‘s Cabinet on December 7, 2016. In addition, the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority is developing a 3rd line, mostly elevated, connecting Hinjewadi – Civil Court on the public–private partnership (PPP) model. In September 2019, PMRDA signed a 35-year concession agreement to develop the line with a consortium of TRIL Urban Transport Private Limited (a Tata Group Company), and Siemens Project Ventures GmbH (subsidiary of Siemens Financial Services). Pune Metro Phase 2 project‘s detailed project report (DPR) has not been prepared yet, but is expected to comprise of new corridors and extensions of existing metro lines to Katraj, Chandni Chowk, Kharadi, Hadapsar, Loni Kalbhor, Katraj, Khadakwasla, Warje.

Formation of Safety Plan : Me and My team Prepare a safety plan for Pune Metro .The process as follows

The objective of this SHE plan is to promote Health, Safety & Environment of person working with Metro Projects The project specific SHE plan will provide guide line for safe execution of project.

The objective is the overall SHE goal, arising from the Integrated SHE Policy, that an organization sets itself to achieve and which is quantifiable, wherever practicable. These are the specific goals that are necessary to implement the Integrated SHE Policy. There should be a correlation between the occupational health and safety hazard(s) & risk(s) and list of significant environmental aspect(s) & the environmental objective(s) . The SHE objective should be quantifiable and measurable.
