| Abstract: | I
njury free work environment is an essential element for any successful project. Better
safety performances can be achieved only if safety matters priority at all stages of project
addressed adequately. Concrete efforts of owners, contractors, sub contractors and designers
are equally important at different levels of project. To control accidents and injuries on
every project requires different methods and practices. Although, same strategies can be
applied but it requires modifications as per objectives & targets and organizational needs.
It is necessary to develop such strategies that can help to increase safety considerations at
project site. Past safety studies investigated various methods to improve safety statistics
but it still contain more room for improvement. Fuel stations are considered to be the
high risk hazardous places within the city environment. Fire, falls, vehicle accidents,
electrocutions, robbery and snakebites are most commonly occurring hazardous conditions
at fuel stations. This paper will present the application of Mitigation Strategies to reduce
near misses occurrences at fuel stations. Near misses data collected in different trades such
as maintenance, carelessness, housekeeping, mechanical fault and electrical fault. Mitigation
strategies prepared based upon safety statistics. Data collected with these application and
mentionable improvement noticed. With application of mitigation strategies available
resources can be utilized more appropriately. In case of unavailability, requirements can be
highlighted for procurement. |
