3. INTRODUCTION

In the various chapters of this Manual an attempt has been made to concisely

define and describe the various aspects of Safety, including identification and

prevention of hazards related to construction work places / sites.

Safety of men and material is of vital importance for unhindered execution of

activities at site and timely completion of the project. Everyone associated with

the work, regardless of his / her position or status, has the responsibility of his /

her own safety and safety of people working with / for or around him / her.

Accidents and injury cause pain, misery, loss of earning and hardship not only to

the injured person, but also to his / her family. No one, therefore, wants to get

injured; instead wants to return home in the same condition in which he / she

came each day. This is, however, possible only if everyone followed the safety

requirements all the time.

While it is the responsibility of Management (Owner / Contractor) to provide

safe working conditions at work place / site, it is the duty of all associated with

the work to earnestly follow the safety rules, norms, standards and procedures,

and not to indulge in any unsafe act or practice, and be cause for creation of

unsafe conditions.

Site / Work place Safety Management should ensure wide coverage / awareness

and effective implementation of these to achieve the goal and objective. This shall

include establishment of effective channel of communication at site / work place,

training, observation & audit, motivation and counselling.

As work execution at site is generally carried out by Contractors, due care shall be

exercised for their proper selection, duly considering their past performance /

safety record, Safety Policy, resources with regard to trained man-power , safety

appliances, their understanding and appreciation of Client’s requirements,

inclusion of safety clause in the contract and effective contract management.

4. GOALS AND OBJECTIVE

To create a Safe and Healthy Environment by reducing, minimizing and

eliminating risks at work places / sites, and to demonstrate Management (TCE)

commitment with high standard of performance by adopting / practicing the

stipulations made in this Manual.

The objective of Safety Management is to reduce the Unsafe Acts to such a level

where probability of injury is eliminated; a step beyond would be Incident – free

Work place / site.

Safety is no accident. Following are the desired targets at work place / site:-

NO Fatality

NO Lost time Accidents

NO Medical Cases

NO Fires

NO Spills

NO Personal Injury

NO Environment Incidents

NO Loss to property

NO Near misses / hits

Tracking Safety Performance against the above targets will serve as a yard stick

to measure whether safety today is better than last week. Persistence would yield

safety following week bettering the previous week.

The ultimate goal is “Incident free work”.

5. DEFINITIONS

Accident:

It is an undesired event or incident that results in harm to people and / or

environment and damage to property or loss to process.

Incident:

It is an event that gives rise to an accident or had the potential to lead to an accident

or adverse community reaction. It is a symptom that something is wrong.

resulted in harm to people and / or environment and damage to property or loss to

process.

Hazard:

Anything which has the potential to cause harm.

6. SAFETY PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES

Working safely shall be a Condition of Employment / Engagement.

Training Employees to Work Safely shall be essential.

All injuries can be prevented and preventing personal injury is a good

business.

Management is responsible for preventing injuries.

Employees’ involvement is essential.

Every job shall be assessed for risk and due control action exercised.

Causes of Unsafe Behaviour-BBS can be identified

Regular management observation is a must.

To read and understand all Safety Standards made available, incorporate

them in Safe Working Procedure (SWP) and manage site safety through

these.

Safety should be managed – set practical achievable goals and plan to

achieve them.

Safety is Line Management responsibility.

Concern and Care for the Employees.

Ensure hazard free and clean work environment.

Safety System shall fit and reflect the culture of the Organization.

Remember:

“You get the level of safety that you demonstrate you want”

“Make safety a way of life”

Behavioural Based Safety (BBS):

A new concept of behaviour based safety culture is emerging. According to this

even with varieties of safety system, procedures, knowledge and equipment in

place, injuries continue to happen, especially where human element is involved.

It has been felt that this is primarily due to unsafe behaviour and habits, and

consequent unsafe acts causing accidents and injuries. Cost of attending to the

injuries and absenteeism on this account will keep mounting more and more in

years to come. Apart from moral and statutory obligations, attention, therefore,

needs to be focused on behavioural safety.

Behavioural based safety system (BBSS) takes a look at the behaviours we all

demonstrate and practice, and how these habits and attitudes put us at risk.

Behaviour of personnel can be altered surely but slowly by organized, concerted

and conscious effort from all management personnel.

BBSS develops observations and analytical techniques, as well as

communication and relationship with fellow colleagues and workforce. The

process, basically involving and driving employees, constitutes the following

steps -

• Observe each other and give feedback on significant practices.

• Look for safe behaviour focusing on –

• Body Position, eyes on work, eyes on path, lifting practices and

holding practices.

• Work condition, selection and use of tools, labelling / tags, well

prepared work permit, work area free from tripping / slipping hazards,

signs / barricading, lighting, ventilation and fall protection.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

• Clothing, PPE condition, use of eye / face protection, helmet, respirator,

hazardous gas / underground services detection, N2 blanketing,

earthing, influence of drug / intoxicants / stimulants.

Prepare a list of Safe behaviours with employees’ direct involvement and clear

acceptance without overriding the existing rules, regulations and law of the

land, and make the list available with every employee.

Let each employee carry out observation on one employee for 5 minutes

informing the employee that his/her behaviour is being observed. The Observer

may express his/her concern on Unsafe behaviour, but will note down only the

safe behaviour on the sheet without mentioning the name of observed employee.

The observation shall be objective – following a particular rule, using a

particular PPE, and similar, and shall not be subjective like – well dressed, good

house-keeping, etc.

Supervisors / Managers also shall make similar observations during their turn,

noting down at least 3 - 4 safe behaviours exhibited by employees.

• Analyze observations

• Plan and Implement improvements.

• Set team goals

• Provide feedback to team on progress towards goal, and

• Encourage / Appreciate / Recognize individuals and commemorate team

Achievement.

In this model (BBSS) Safety Observations are Safety Index

Advantages of behavioural safety are –

• Promotes employees involvement,

• Reduces reliance on enforcement,

• Improves culture and moral,



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

• Proactive rather than Reactive,

• Effective injury reduction, and

• Effective performance improvement.

Communication plays a vital role in disseminating information. Management

shall ensure that the Safety requirements, rules, regulations and policies are

clear, well defined and widely communicated through electronic media, PA

system, site and review meetings, bulletin boards, news letters / magazines,

hand outs, banners, posters, booklets, circulars, models, exhibitions, plays / actsand safety campaigns. A “communication sub-committee” could be instituted

and its help taken in achieving this objective.

Another important aspect in achieving safety goals and objective is discipline.

Management shall be fair and firm, and discipline for safety violations must be

seen as consistently applied to everyone regardless of position and appropriate

to the degree of violation. All individuals shall be bound to follow all safety

rules as notified from time to time, and shall use safety equipment and

appliances when necessary. Breach of this shall be treated as misconduct and

shall be liable for punishment.

The following rules are considered Cardinal or Life saving rules, and shall be

strictly complied with and non-adherence/compliance shall not be condoned.

This is in view of very high order of present safety needs and to keep human life

above all.

• Starting the job With proper work permit or clearance,

• Not to be under influence of alcohol or illegal drugs at work,

• Compliance to the rules of confined space,

• Fulfilment of essential conditions for safe gas cutting and welding,

• No tempering of locks/protections in the positive isolation, and

7. ORGANIZATION AND SAFETY CULTURE

A good Organization ensures –

Maximum involvement / participation of and driven by employees and

management

Analysis and Judgment at all appropriate levels

Information flowing up as well as down- Two Way Communication

All branches and levels working together

Employees / Workers involvement could be secured by letting them –

Identify their safety training needs,

Participate actively and interact with positive frame of mind,

Follow safety rules and procedures,

Maintain equipment and work place in order, and

Avoid indifference to safety.

Safety is driven by the employees. A “Safety Committee” at each of the

location / site should be formed with wide representation from the employees.

To ensure safe working environment at work places, Employees are encouraged

to:

• Plan and carry out inspections of their areas,

• Identify issues and generate report on their observations.

The Safety Committee shall:

• Review such reports,

• Initiate corrective & preventive action,

• Set safety targets, monitor performance, measure improvements, and

Commemorate achievements.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

Management involvement would mean –

Ensuring up to date safe procedure in place for each and every job.

Inviting suggestions on/for Safety.

Monitoring and checking the Unsafe Conditions.

Obtaining feedback and conducting safety reviews regularly.

Encouraging employees to bring out Safety Concerns / Issues without

Fear and giving due consideration.

Each level of Management needs to feel and accept responsibility for

the behaviour of those who report to them, and control the events.

Management drive would require –

Having clear, appropriate and relevant rules and regulations in place.

Providing training at appropriate levels and ensuring resource for it.

Selecting right design, men, material and equipment for the job. Enforcing implementation and measuring safety performance.

Reward the performers and track the non-performers.

Ensuring uniformity in discipline and reward.

The Leader must set example and expect this from his managers and

supervisors. The Leadership shall also define and communicate the need and

benefits of changes, and ensure –

Strategic action planning

Well defined management / Supervision activities.

Employees’ participation, and

Assessment, Review, Feed-back and Learning



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

A good Process ensures –

Safety focused meetings, including Tool-box talks and Mass meetings, with

employees.

One to One talk with employees to get their feelings about Safety and

adequacy of facilities provided.

Counselling and motivational means.

Adequacy of banners, posters, notice boards, safety corners and exhibitions.

Encouragement and celebrations

All Employees / Work- force expect –

A safe work place

To be accident free

A good team and a good leader,

And a Proactive Organization must ensure this by creating a safety culture

having zero injuries as a result of effective enforcement of systems, procedures

and process.

The benefits of Safe Work Culture are:-

Requirements consistently communicated,

Responsibilities understood and accepted,

Management and Employees’ relationship cordiality, and

Behaviour driven safety results.

Common Organizational Impediments –

Safety can be hired

Priority of business over safety



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

Responsibility / Accountability not clearly defined and demonstrated

Proactively

Tolerance of Unsafe Behaviour.

Enforcement of rules :– Different standards practiced

An organization should strive for Interdependent Safety Culture which is both

employees and management driven with their full involvement and has –

Teams building, team commitment, team goal and team owning Safety

To Help others to conform to Safety.

Value for each other

Organizational pride is derived, and

Working unsafely is considered disgraceful.

Continual learning and improvement.

This culture will lead to achieving zero injuries by choice and not by chance.

What needs is a System of Planning, Implementation, Check / Audit,

Review, Learning and Continual Improvement.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

8. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT

Anything with potential to cause harm is Hazard, and the

likelihood of harm being realized is Risk.

Many a times people tend to ignore or fail to identify / assess hazards in the

background of their past experience, mindset, complacency or belief.

A few common examples of which are given below:

I know my job / trade.

This never happens.

I can get away with it if I did it once a while.

We will do it this way just one time only.

You are exaggerating the situation.

We have been doing it since last so many years and never had any

problem.

Risk perception reduces with time if there are no accidents / injuries.

Also, at times significant items are ignored and trivial concentrated upon.

Lack of / reduction in risk perception is responsible for accidents resulting

into severe injuries.

Risk perception is Safety Attitude and Safety norms are followed only

then. Education / information, however, play an important role. Risk

perception attitude has to be developed and maintained in the management

as well as employees.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

The following steps could be adopted for Hazard Identification –

Involve employees and safety representatives to identify items / events /

work activities which may pose hazard – hazards may include what?

Determine who, what might be harmed and how?

- Employees / work-force

- Visitors

- Property

- Environment

Evaluate the risk and decide whether existing controls/measures are

adequate or do they require strengthening?

- Safe Work Procedures (SWP) and Standards

- Tools, appliances and equipment

- Trained crew

Record the findings

Review the assessment and revise following as control measures.

- New procedures

- New machine

- New materials

workplaces / sites, therefore, shall be in preparedness all the time to promptly and

properly handle such eventualities. It is expected that all team members exercise

vigilant and ensure strict adherence to all safety norms by TCE staff as well as by

the contractor’s staff. Despite all the vigilance and measures, if an accident / mishap takes place, please ensure that it should be immediately reported to

VP(CN) or his designated officer as well as to the respective Project Manager

/ Project Co-ordinator by telephone and followed by e-mail. Please ensure

compensation to him/her, corrective measures and restoring work at site / work

place will acquire priority; necessary action for preventing recurrence must also

be taken. For this the site / workplace management shall constitute an inquiry

committee to investigate the case and submit report highlighting the root cause of

the accident and measures required to be taken for preventing recurrence.

Investigation must also be carried out for Incidents and Near Misses. Each case is

the result of some Unsafe Behaviour which needs to be corrected. The Unsafe

behaviour has to be spelt out and the injury report along with it shared with all by

proper communication through the departmental or steering committee, and

action taken to eliminate the cause. Each case must bring out some learning to

enter the system for preventing recurrence.

In case of incidents / accidents the issues to be addressed are as follows:-

Immediate Action

Appropriate immediate action shall be taken by the personnel on the spot, e.g. –

first aid, fire fighting, containing spills, evacuation, isolation of energy sources,

etc. This shall also apply to situations where accident has not taken place; the

11. SAFETY INSPECTION OBERVATION AND AUDIT

Safety Inspection

A routine, scheduled inspection of an Unit or Department which may be carried

out by personnel within the Unit, possibly accompanied by some one from

external. The inspection would check maintenance standards, employees’

involvement, working practices, and that work is carried out in accordance with

procedures etc., rather than wide-reaching or in-depth approach taken in audit.

Safety Observations

Safety observation during execution of work at sites / Work places is a “Process”

in which the assigned Safety Personnel visit the work areas to observe

implementation of Safety system in the work being performed. Ideally all work

centres / sub centres shall be visited and at least 80% of the engaged workmen

observed during a minimum of 2 hours duration. The safety observer notices the

safe as well as Unsafe Acts, Conditions and work practices. He / She

communicate with employees about his / her observations and safety aspects of

the job. While he / she gives complements to the employees for the good work,

their attention is drawn towards the Unsafe work, discusses the risk / hazard

involved and severity potential, decides upon urgency of corrective action / work

stoppage depending upon the severity, and also takes employees’ commitment to

work safely.

A differentiation has to be made between Safety Observations and Inspection

Observations, and the Observer must be unambiguously knowledgeable about it

so that his/her actions are guided accordingly. Or else the very purpose would

get defeated.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

During the Safety Observations people are observed, everyone is covered,

observations are positive as well as negative, and the interactive discussion is

followed by report generation and corrective / remedial action. This in contrast to

the Inspection Observations where things are observed, the observations are only

negative, only experts are talked to; the dialogue is passive and followed by

report generation and corrective action.

Field Observation is another ‘term’ often used. Field observations are primarily

for compliance, are on acts and conditions, involve only supervisors with passive

dialogue, provide 80+ % coverage, followed by report. Safety observations are

on people for preventive measures; involve everyone on 1 to 1 interactive

training, generation of report and subsequent follow up.

The benefits of Safety Observations (field observations included) and feedback

arising thereupon are:-

Prevent injury and property loss.

Reinforce positive safety behaviour.

Raise safety awareness and reduces complacency about hazards.

Establish Safety standards.

Test understanding of safety standards.

Test compliance with standards.

Identify weakness in safety standards.

Identify and correct unsafe situations / fix some hazard immediately

Tips sharing between experienced and new people.

Motivate people to use safe practice consistently.

Safety Observations could be categorised under the following (generally

classified as six steps):-

Reaction of people,

Position of people,



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

Clothing and Personal protective equipment,

Tools and Equipment,

Procedures and Orderliness, and

Ergonomics (repetitive motions)

When a personnel working unsafely is observed, the Safety Observer shall draw

the employee’s attention. He / She shall primarily comment on the employee’s

safe work, and then discuss the Unsafe Act, its possible consequences and safer

way to do the job. He / She shall get the employee’s agreement / commitment to

work safely in future. The observer shall also discuss other safety related issues,

and then at the end express gratitude to the employee.

While discussing the Unsafe Act, the Safety Observer must express his concern,

and focus on effect and not the act. All queries shall be framed to sound like

exploring and learning, and definitely not like teaching.

Observation information, reports and feedbacks can be utilized for assessing the

personnel and the work they do, detecting developing problems (follow up and

action), visualizing trends and reinforce positives.

Safety Audit

Safety audit is a technique to systematically appraise the effectiveness of a safety

program under execution. This helps to improve and upgrade the existing safety

program.

Safety audit is a methodology to critically evaluate safety program and

performance in terms of accident frequency, severity rates, identification and

control of hazards and assessment of financial losses on account of bad

performance. Safety audit also helps to evaluate the overall quality and character

of the safety program and its effectiveness.

Safety audit is meant to bring to light lacunae and lapses in the safety practices

being followed so that ways and means can be found to initiate corrective

measures to achieve better performance, efficiently and economy.

Types of Safety Audit

Safety audit can be internal or external based on whether it is carried out by a

team of persons within the organization or by a team of experts from an outside

safety / consulting organization hired for carrying out the audit.

Internal and External Safety audits have their own merits / demerits. In case of

internal safety audit, information as necessary could be had due to close

association with colleagues but there could be a tendency to protect person(s)

responsible for deficiencies. In case of external audit, collecting the information

is more difficult but the analysis is likely to be more objective and remedies

suggested more realistic since the auditors are expected to be neutral.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

Safety audit can also be categorised as basic audit, self audit and professional

audit. Basic audit means ensuring that all basic elements of the safety program

are implemented including analysis of qualitative, quantitative, setup, procedures

and controls, hazard identification education, training and maintenance of

relevant records. Self audit involves analysis of elements such as leadership and

administration, training, inspection procedures, inventory and job analysis of

critical jobs, investigations of accidents / incidents, emergency preparedness,

rules and regulations, group safety meetings and communication, community

education and demonstration.

Professional analysis is essentially external audit by a professional consultancy

organization. Professional audit involves analysis of various critical elements of

safety program at micro level, such as health of safety program, health hazard

control, personnel protection equipment, program evaluation system, purchase

and engineering control, general promotion of safety awareness including

training, display of audio / video cassettes etc., selection and placement of

personnel to implement the safety program etc. Professional audit involves

review of basic and self audits, safety programs, preparation of a questionnaire

for the audit to be filled in by the industrial unit for which the professional safety

audit is conducted, identification of vulnerable areas on the basis of the

completed questionnaire, verification of information and clarifications obtained

etc, analysis of information collected, arriving at loss indices, submission of

report along with recommendations.

Safety audit, both basic and self, need to be conducted by in-house safety

personnel on regular basis in order to assess the site situation, to facilitate taking

corrective action / remedial measures to ensure safe working conditions, to

exhibit management care and concern about them, and to keep their morale high.

Measurement of Safety Performance

Safety performance of site is measured to improve processes and procedures

being practiced at site. Following two methods have been adopted.

I. DuPont Method

The Site should be audited on daily basis, maintaining an element of surprise, to

assess the unsafe conditions and unsafe acts – the prime factors responsible for

causing accidents / incidents / near misses. The audit observations could be

categorized, as explained above under the heading - observations, and assigned

severity rating on 1 to 5 scales on the following pattern depending upon the

severity -1 being minor and 5 posing fatality potential (Alternatively it could be

Safety index from 1-5 with sites/ work places with Safety Index as one being

Most Unsafe and 5 being Most Safe).

Severity Rating 1: Untidy area, minor issues.

Severity Rating 2: Restricted access, littered scrap / trash, and disorderliness.

Severity Rating 3: Violations of Rules and Procedures – potential injury.

Severity Rating 4: Unsafe conditions – serious injury potential – take prompt

action

Severity Rating 5: Immediate serious injury potential – stop activity

immediately and correct

A Severity Index (SI) of 2.2 or lower shall be targeted to ensure safe working.

Maximum of the week’s SI should be reported on weekly basis for review.

Depending upon the size, the site may be divided into zones, and responsibility

assigned to a senior person for each zone. In case of higher than 2.5 SI found

during the audit, all activities of the site/zone should be stopped and corrective

action taken before restarting the work.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



Severity Index (SI) = Sum of violations X Their respective severity rating

Total no. of violations observed during the audit

The audit process shall also provide coverage to ‘compliance to safety

standards’, ‘good citizens(clothing & PPE compliance and no act

violation)’,‘quality of safe work procedures’, and ‘awareness of safety standards

and rules’; aim / target 98 – 100 % for compliance to safety standards and good

citizens, and 4.9 – 5 for the rest on 1 to 5 scale.

A simple guide for site work execution could be –

• 100 % compliance to safety standards.

• 100 % good citizens

• Severity index ≤ 2.2

• No incidents

As described earlier, the objective of safety observations and audit is to improve

the safety performance. Some of the parameters against which this could be

measured are as follows –

- Lost work days

- Total injury rates

- Reduction in cost of equipment damage, insurance premium, and

compensation

- Attendance at safety meetings

- Completion of training- Increase in strength of knowledgeable and skilled employees

- Increase in employees involvement and cooperation

- Reassured full work force with high morale

12. TRAINING AND COMPETANCY

The site management must ensure that no one is deployed without proper training,

irrespective of his / her position. In order to familiarize with the general

requirements of safety, all employees shall go through safety orientation /

induction training, and possess valid safety card as a testimony of it all the time.

This is an important formality before issuing entry pass to the employees for

working in their workplace / site. Work related training for specific requirement

also need to be organized. Some suggested areas of such training are mentioned

below:

Majority of accidents are due to materials falling from height, working at height,

faulty platform / scaffold and hand rails, non-use of lifeline / lanyard / full body

harness, faulty access / ladder, traffic rule violation, unguarded machinery, and fire

due to gas cutting / welding spatters. As some of these may pose serious injury /

fatality potential, training in these areas should be arranged on priority basis.

Suggested Training Areas

• First aid

• Fire fighting / prevention

• Full body harness and specific PPE / clothing

• Road safety

• Track line safety

• Crane operator

• Storage and handling of compressed gases and hazardous materials

• Working in gaseous/ hazardous/ confined areas

• Positive isolation

• Hoisting / Lifting / rigging

• Access ladder and fall arrestors

• Scaffold, platform and hand railing



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

• Barricading

• Working in electrical rooms

• Gas cutting, welding and grinding

• Working at height, and fall protection

• Pressure vessels and pressure testing

• Roof sheeting work

• Disposal of wastes and toxic materials

• Temporary electrical wiring and installations

• Use of portable electrically operated tools

• Hydra Operation

• Heavy Vehicle Drivers Training

• SA 8000

Site management shall from time to time assess the training needs of the personnel

working at sites and arrange for imparting such training. The “Steering

Committee” or the communication sub-committee can play an important role in

this. A record of trained persons in safety shall be available at site. It should also

be made obligatory on part of the senior persons to ensure that their subordinates

have received requisite safety training.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001

13. FIRST AID

First aid is the immediate medical aid made available at the work site itself to an

injured or seriously ill person before regular expert medical facility could be

provided. This is essential to ensure preservation of life, promotion of recovery

and prevent injury or illness from worsening till medical aid from an authorized

specialist doctor is obtained.

It is to be ensured that all the erection agencies have adequate first aid facilities

at the work site itself for use of their employees at all times.

Bare minimum first aid kit as advised by the registered medical practitioner

should be available.

At least one first aid attendant / trained nurse should be always available at the

work site with every erection contractor having manpower exceeding 50.

A transport vehicle should be available for any emergency at all times at the

work site.

Telephone numbers and addresses of Doctors, Hospitals and first aid attendants

should always be available (preferably displayed at suitable prominent

location) to ensure prompt communication / availing expert medical aid.

A brief procedure for first aid treatment at site is given below.

Mental shock

This is a condition of severe depression of vital functions either due to severe

injury or narrow escape. This is a condition of collapse of patient wherein if

proper control is not ensured immediately, it could end up in death.

Symptoms:

Cold moist skin, nausea, pallor and giddiness, skin colour pale/ white ashen

grey or slightly blue, breathing shallow and rapid, pulse rate rapid but weak; the

patient would be thirsty and with clouded consciousness.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

Treatment

Lay the patient on his back in 'head low' position; attend to injuries, if any. If

the patient vomits, turn his head to one side. Wrap the patient in blanket to

provide warmth. If the patient is in a condition to swallow, give weak tea or

coffee. The patient should be reassured. The patient should not be

unnecessarily moved about but shifted to hospital at the earliest opportune

moment.

Electric shock

Switch off the source of supply if easily accessible, if not, pull the victim using

aids such as dry rope, dry walking stick, rubber gloves, folded newspaper, dry

garment or any dry non-conducting ( insulation ) material. The rescuer should

preferably be standing on insulation material like wooden board, wooden

planks, rubber mats or with rubber soled shoes or newspapers. In no case the

rescuer should use bare hands to pull the victim which could be fatal to the

rescuer himself.Unless the patient is breathing normally which is most unlikely in case of a

severe shock, give the patient artificial respiration and continue the same till the

doctor is available to take further care.

Check the carotid pulse of the patient; give external heart massage if necessary.

Lay the patient on back, clear the mouth and throat of obstructions if any, keep

the head low so as to ensure nostrils pointing directly upwards and by pushing

the jaw to open air passages.

Repeat the process till the patient's pulse, breathing improves or the summoned

doctor arrives for taking further care.

Burns or scalds

In case of serious burn or scald, a doctor and an ambulance must be summoned

at once.

The patient should be immediately wound in a blanket and rolled to extinguish

fire caught by the clothes etc. Immediately on extinguishing the fire, pour /



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001

spray cold water on the affected part of the body. Apply ice or 'burnol'. Cover

the burnt area with clean or prepared sterilized burn dressing. Bandage the

affected area firmly except when blisters are present. Immobilize the affected

part. Treat the patient for mental shock if required; attend to the patient till the

doctor is available.

External bleeding.

Lay the patient in a comfortable horizontal position. Elevate the bleeding

portion. Every effort should be made to stop bleeding by direct pressure or by

applying a pad or sterilized dressing after cleaning the wound using antiseptics

such as 'dettol' or 'savalon' and then applying tincture iodine or tincture

benzoinco. The wound should be firmly bandaged. If direct pressure does not

stop bleeding, use indirect pressure by applying pressure on the relevant

pressure point or by using constrictive pad. Arterial bleeding, if encountered,

may be controlled by applying mild pressure on the artery between the wound

and the heart.Summon for the doctor or ambulance and shift the patient to the hospital.

Fractures

Where a fracture is suspected, the limb must be immobilized. Do not attempt to

move the patient until the injured part is immobilized by a trained person. The

patient should be shifted to hospital only by competent ambulance staff.

Minor wounds

All minor wounds, cuts, scratches should be attended to immediately to avoid

risk of infection. The wound should be cleaned using 'dettol' / 'savalon' and

then applied with tincture iodine, tincture benzoinco or 'Neosporin' powder as

per individual case. Cover the wound using a sterilised dressing or adhesive

plaster based on the location of the wound. In case of injury becoming painful

or if it gets inflamed, patient should be immediately rushed to the hospital to

avail proper medical attention.



TCE.M7-GN-SF-M-001



ISSUE

R2

Eye injuries

In case the patient complains of foreign body in the eye, he should be advised

not to rub the eye but casually and gradually blink the eye lid under water.

Even after repeating the cleansing operation with water, if the complaint persists,

then the first aid attendant / nurse should blow air by mouth in the affected eye to

remove the trapped foreign material. If the complaint still persists, eye drops

such as ‘locula’ may be used and the patient sent to the hospital for adequate

medical aid but in no case shall the patient be allowed to rub the eyes or any

attempt made to remove the foreign body using external means since this could

result in permanent damage to the eye, retina etc.

Snake bite

The treatment should be prompt. Call for the doctor and ambulance, but start the

first aid immediately by arresting the blood circulation in the snake bitten limb

by using constrictive bandage for 15 minutes and release for 1 minuterepeatedly till the doctor arrives to ensure that the poison does not spread. If

possible suck the spot of bite but only after constructive bandage is applied and

the wound is cleaned and washed using solution of potassium permanganate in

order to remove venom which may have dried on the skin, and spit out

immediately; repeat this till the patient feels relieved. Make a deep cut with a

sharp knife or razor blade at the bitten spot in order to bleed out the venom -

mixed blood. Keep the patient warm by covering with a blanket. Patient should

be absolutely still and no movement is permitted. If the patient is in a condition

to swallow, give him strong coffee or tea. If it is noticed that breathing is

reduced or has stopped, give artificial respiration using 'mouth to mouth'

method.

Chemical burns

In case the patient complains of burns due to acid, thoroughly flood the affected

part with water which would result in diluting the acid as well provide cooling

effect. Bathe the affected part freely with alkaline solution prepared by mixing

one teaspoonful of baking soda i.e. sodium bi-carbonate dissolved in a glass of

water. Ensure that alkaline solution is not concentrated. Remove acid

contaminated clothing by cutting with scissors. Send the patient to hospital for

further treatment.

If the patient complains of burns due to alkali, thoroughly flood the affected part

with water to effectively dilute the alkali and to give cooling effect. If the alkali

is in powder form, it should be brushed off from the skin before flooding the

affected part with water to ensure that alkaline solution does not form. Bathe

the affected part of the body with a very weak solution of acid to neutralize the

alkali. Such a weak acid solution can be prepared by thoroughly mixing equal

quantities of lime juice or vinegar with water. Remove alkali contaminated

clothes by cutting with scissors. Send the patient to hospital for further

treatment.

UnconsciousnessIf a patient is noticed to fall unconscious, immediately ensure supply of fresh

air by removing harmful gases present if any or by shifting the affected person

to airy space. Open the windows / doors / ventilators and keep the crowd away.

Keep the breathing passage clear by removing false teeth if any, taking the

tongue away from the back of the throat of the patient. If breathing has reduced

or stopped, give immediate artificial respiration. If the breathing is noisy on

account of blood, vomit, saliva etc. in the throat, keep the patient in 'three

quarter prone' position. Wrap the patient in a blanket after loosening the tight

clothing. Preferably shift the patient to an airy and safe shelter on a stretcher

and attend to him either till doctor arrives or till patient could be carried to

hospital for further treatment. The doctor / ambulance should be called for

immediately. If the patient is not unconscious, he may have symptoms like

giddiness, confusion and inability to walk straight if affected by gas /

fumes but not entirely overcome by it.

Heat stroke

Heat stroke could affect a person due to hot, still, humid atmosphere and

inadequate consumption of drinking water. It is a serious state of the patient

which could result even due to excessive alcohol consumption and constipation.

If affected by heat stroke, the patient is mentally excited, restless, vomits and

has muscular cramps along with high fever - usually above 104 Degree F.

Under such circumstances, immediately summon doctor / ambulance. Strip

the patient naked and wrap him up completely in cold water soaked bed sheet.

Put on the fan and if not available use paper fan vigorously till temperature

comes down to 102 Degree F at which cooling process should be stopped to

avoid Pneumonia. After the temperature is brought down to 102 Degree F,

patient should be dried and covered using light blanket. Water can be

administered orally to eliminate poisons. Call a doctor.

Heat exhaustion

Remove the patient to cooler conditions in the fresh air. Lay the patient downand loosen his clothing particularly around the neck to bring him to a

comfortable position, dash cold water on the head and neck to stimulate. Put on

the fan for vigorous cooling effect. If severe shock is noticed, use stimulants.

Crush syndromes

Early diagnosis is of utmost importance to prevent kidney failure. If the victim

is crushed for more than an hour by heavy weight such as fallen masonry or

machinery, he may show little signs of injury except redness and swelling of the

injured part, bruising, blistering, numbness or tingling may also be noticed.

After rescue, in a short while, injured part swells and becomes hard due to

outpouring of plasma into injured tissues. Due to the loss of fluid, blood

pressure drops rapidly and the patient may go in a deep shock and kidney failure

can occur.
