Chart 4.1.13 Use of protective equipment

Source: Field research, June 2011

According to safety standards, the exterior of construction sites shall be barricaded with construction fencing, chain link fencing or warning tape. Inside, signs shall be posted conspicuously particularly on restricted areas. Also, there should be signs indicating the kind of PPE to wear when entering specific areas. Amongst the most common PPE needed when entering construction sites are, hard hats, safety glasses, long trousers, safety vest, and steel toe boots. These PPE should be worn at all times when inside the construction area. When the working elevation is high, the appropriate fall protection gear should be used.

It should be recalled to all technicians that the use of PPE will eventually help them. It saves life. A construction worker utilizing complete PPE will be greatly shielded against common mishaps that happen in their workplace. It can also lessen the risks of serious injury or even death. That is why the company should avail adequate PPE, train all employees on how they are used and when and make it the use of PPE a policy among other policies governing the company.

This is a threat to employees using defective PPE which means they are exposed to injuries at work. That is why the company should provide suitable PPE to all employees and set a policy which states clearly on that with clear responsibilities to technicians such as to attend and comply with training, instruction and information, to check the condition of their PPE , to store, clean and maintain their PPE and to report losses, defects or other problems with PPE and to their supervisorsupervisors such as to ensure adequate information and training is provided to those who require PPE, to ensure that PPE is properly stored, maintained, cleaned, repaired and replaced when necessary because without proper maintenance, protective equipment will not be able to offer the same level of protection.

It shows that there is a gap in communication which is too bad to the company. However, it is abvious that there are no risk management plans in the company, which is a big handicap for its management. RMP should be present and functional in order to avoid preventable destructive risks and enjoy benefits like to provide an assurance that the company/organization has identified its highest-risk exposures and has taken steps to properly manage these. To ensure that the company/organisation's business planning processes include a focus on areas where risk management is needed and to establish a process across the organisation that will integrate the various risk control measures that the Organisation already has.

The table and graph 4.1.16 indicate that 70% of respondents know the existence of internal rules and regulations within the company while 30% do not know, no one denied their existence. It indicates that there is still a problem with internal communication whereby every employee should get oriented and read carefully internal rules and regulations of the company. These spell out in simple and concrete terms the standards of professional ethics applying to company staff members. These standards are to be regarded as the professional values and culture the Organisation wants to promote and uphold. They help employees to get information on their rights and what they are supposed to provide for the employer.
