Accident Control

Accident handling sometime complicated and can be wrong reported because the situation on the field also complex. As a regulation every contractor who work on our site should have insurance, and become the responsible of that contractor. Every contractor have been checked the fulfilness of the requirement but when the accident happened and check directly to the patient, they don't have insurance because they are not an employee of that contractor but just a subcontractor to finished the job but don't reported to safety department.

Good coordination among department on the site should be provided in order every rule and requirement can be followed. Some of the violations occurred in the site such as not using the appropriate PPE to be the cause of many accidents without them knowing it. Using PPE but don't function it also often the main cause of accident happen, such as they are bring masker but never wear, bring full body harness but not hook this equipment when they are working in height.

Construction Incident

Steel construction should be design precisely and it should be described in detail the step of steel construction. Civil engineer should consider all the sudden force changes on the structure. The force changes on the steel structure can affected by the steel construction itself or cause by external force like strong win or because of earth quake. The steel construction should consider all the above possibility, mainly while the construction still on going.

This accident also happen on my working area because Civil engineer don't consider all those possibility available on the construction. When the steel frame just install, suddenly there is a change of whether and come fast wind direct to straight to the steel construction. The wind speed may be just 20 km per hour but the total cross section hit by the wind are very wide and make the changes force direction on the steel construction, consequently the steel construction falling down because less of poles that reduce the wind force. As a civil engineer should consider these all possibility on the building while construction, in order no accident happened. Like on the below picture the steel structure while construct should be protected by several poles.
