1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers Risk Assessment Studies for the construction and operation phase, the safety
precautions that have to be taken during construction phase and the Disaster Management Plan and
Emergency Preparedness Plan Onsite and Offsite.
Disaster management is defined as the discipline of avoiding and dealing with natural risks. The
whole process involves a preparation plan for the impending disaster, action in response to a disaster,
and support and strength to rebuild a community after the occurrence of a disaster. Disaster
management is very important for any building. It makes the occupant aware of the various disasters
possible in a building, prevention & procedures, training in disaster management, and after-disaster
procedures for building objects.
In general, disaster management is a continuous process that aims to manage and minimize
hazards. Under disaster response, there are a variety of actions to take like evacuation quarantine,
mass decontamination, and the like. Disaster management has its own advantages. Some of these are:
• Reduces the effects of a disaster's aftermath
• Gives the chance to survive, no matter what kind of a disaster occurs and irrespective of when it
occurs
• Gives you peace of mind from the uncertainties of close encounters to unexpected and dangerous
natural events
• Minimize the effects of the accident on people and property
• Initiate the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
• Bring the incident under control
• Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and
circumstances of the emergency
• Investigate and take steps to prevent recurrence of similar incidents
• Inform and collaborate with statutory local and state authorities
NATURAL MANMADE
Risk assessment study deals with identifying and evaluating the magnitude of impending risks
to which the neighboring population is exposed due to occurrence of accidents involved in the
project construction and development.
Hazard Identification: Physical, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Vibration & Occupational health

4. Determination of Risk Control Actions
For any projects/tasks that present a high or extreme risk, a Safe Work Method statement must be
completed.
Note how you will control the risk following the priorities listed to the right. This may include
controls like redesigning the workplace, using guards or barriers, ventilation, using lifting
equipment or personal safety equipment.
1. Eliminate the hazard
2. Installing Safety net for height fall
3. Keep the people away from the hazard
4. Change work methods
5. Conducting induction training, safety training & mock drills.
6. Use of Personal protective equipment at work.
Note any specific risk assessments required for high-risk hazards. Check whether any hazards
noted in step 2 require further assessment or action
EXCAVATION ACTIVITY
Excavation Risks:
• The most common hazard at any work site is the threat of cave-in. A cave-in occurs when
walls of an excavation collapse
• Accidental contact with utility lines
• Crushing and striking hazards posed by mechanized equipment
• Materials/Equipment falling into excavation site
• Dust inhalation
• Asphyxiation
• Faulty equipment
• Explosion
• Fall Hazard
Mitigation:
• Re-route traffic whenever possible, and keeping only the heavy; Construction equipment
needed near the excavation
• All excavations shall be inspected daily by the Competent Person
• Spoil piles will be placed a minimum of 2 feet away from the edge of the
excavation/trench
• All excavations shall be properly sloped, benched, or shielded.
• If the excavation is 2m or more deep, provide substantial barriers, e.g. guard rails etc
• Emergency evacuation drill will be carried before monsoon
• Workers shall not enter excavations, if water has accumulated.
• Fence off all excavations in public places to prevent pedestrians and vehicles falling
into them
• An emergency rescue plan should be in place before work begins inside an excavation.
• All excavations must be suitably lighted during the hours of darkness
• Trenches 4 m or more feet deep need a safe means of egress
o Stairway
o Ladder
o Ramps
• Metal ladders may not be used, if they may come in contact with electrical lines.
• No worker is allowed underneath loads handled by lifting or digging equipment.
• Means of egress shall kept fixed and secure
• High visibility vest/waistcoat including protective boots, Ear protection and Protective
helmets must be worn while working in the excavation.
• Means of egress shall kept fixed and secure
Initially with first preference Safety team had been formed to control & reduce the possible hazards
and risk which may occur. A detail of safety committee is been described below:
Head – Health, Safety & Environment
Project Manager
Safety Supervisor
Sub-Contractors
All Subcontractors/Vendor/Supplier/Third Party performing services at the Project site shall be
subject to this plan requirement
• Shall understand the HSE code of conduct for subcontractors and sign the same as a token of
acceptance before starting the activity
• Subcontractor, his Supervisor and his workmen shall adhere all the laid down HSE rules &
Regulations while working at site, follow the instruction / advice of Safety Supervisor &
Manager (DMP) & Safety from time to time
d) Warning System
• Security will do the announcement by fan horn or reflex horn speaker in the guidance of
Manager (DMP) & Safety.
Response • As to see the effectiveness of the Preparedness plan for monsoon it shall be
executed at site as per the plan.
• Its effectiveness shall be evaluated to understand the gap between the plan
and the execution on the basis of response timelines, roles and
responsibilities given to EPRP team members.
Recovery • To recover from the monsoon disaster Immediate Repair/renovation shall be
done for offices, Labor camps, stores, work fronts, machinery/equipment.
• Pesticides shall be used all over the flooded or water logged area to avoid any
health contamination on site.
• Medical check-up for all workforces shall be done to ensure and control
epidemic situation on site.
Mitigation • Additional plans (as per observation during mock drill) shall be put up in
place to ensure less damage and losses should occur during monsoon.

4 .OPERATION PHASE
Possible disasters: Fire/ Flooding/ Earthquake/ Bomb Explosion/ Terror Attack/ Structural
Problems/ Lightening/ Power Failure/ Fire – Smoke/Electrical Fires/ Manmade Emergency.
The building will have one Security In-charge/Facility Manager (and alternate), one assistant Security
guard (and alternate) who will direct the evacuation of persons from their respective areas as quickly
as possible in a safe and controlled manner. The list of building evacuation team members is
maintained by Disaster management committee.
The given figure 3 demonstrates the structure of organization structure of the Disaster Management
Committee
Facility Manager
Facility Manager
• Ensures that the appropriate outside emergency agencies have been notified
• Coordinates all occupant notification and makes sure that any necessary evacuation or
relocation begins
• Ensures adequate monitoring and control of all building life safety systems and equipment
• Confirms that any investigation of the fire or source of the fire alarm, or initial suppression of
a fire, is performed
• Arranges for responding emergency personnel to be met at the designated entrance of the
building and give an up-to-date report on the incident (including its location and any reported
injuries), the status of security and building fire life safety systems and the location and status
of all evacuees addressing the incident (building information forms, notification of specific
hazards, floor plans, essential keys and access cards, etc., also should be readily available)
• Ensures that every incident is thoroughly documented and that required notifications and
reports to the appropriate authorities are carried out
a) Prepare SOP’s for each disaster and for evacuation when necessary
All SOP’s for each Disaster and for evacuation is been prepared, attached to DMP.
I. NATURAL DISASTER:
Floods:
Particularly in Mumbai, areas having poor drainage characteristic get flooded by accumulation of
water from heavy rainfall.
Cyclones:
Cyclones are caused by atmospheric disturbances around a low-pressure area distinguished by swift
and often destructive air circulation. They are usually accompanied by violent storms and bad
weather.
There is no history of any cyclone in this area. However in such an instance the occupants should be
advised to stay in the shelter in tightly secured windows and doors. The glass of windows etc. should
be covered with paper/cardboards to avoid glass breaking due to flying objects outside.
Lightning:
Lightning is an atmospheric electrostatic discharge accompanied by thunder which typically occurs
during thunderstorms and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. It often leads to
physical damage to the building and occupants. It can also lead to short circuits, failure of power
supply and fire.
Mitigation measure:
• Lightning arrestor systems shall be provided for entire project to abate the impact of lightning
hazard.
This is only a general checklist. When an item is in question, the best protection is to make personal
contact with the sender of the package or letter but not to open it.
Mitigation Plan
Safety Procedure
To cope with a bomb incident, it is necessary to develop two separate but interdependent plans. The
bomb incident plan provides the detailed procedures to be implemented when a bombing attack is
threatened or executed. A physical security plan, which is covered in detail in the next section,
provides protection of property, personnel, facilities, and material against unauthorized entry, traces
pass, damage, or other illegal or criminal acts.
To carry out these plans, a definite chain of command must be established to instill confidence and
avoid panic. This is easy if there is a simple structure, or one business, in the building. However, in a
multiple-tenant building a representative from each tenant should attend a planning conference. A
leader—the Facility Manager, Security In-charge—should be appointed and a clear line of succession
delineated. This chain of command should be printed and circulated to all concerned parties. There
should also be a command center to act as a focal point for telephone or radio communications. The
management personnel assigned to operate the center should have the authority to decide what action
is to be taken during the threat. Only those with assigned duties should be permitted in the center, and
alternates need to be appointed in case some-one is absent when a threat is received. In addition, an
updated blueprint or floor plan of the building should be obtained and kept in the command center.
Contact the police department, fire department, or local government agencies to determine if any
assistance is available for developing a physical security plan or bomb incident plan. If possible, have
police or fire department representatives and building and tenant staff inspect the building for areas
where explosives are likely to be concealed; make a checklist of these areas for inclusion in command
center materials.
Vital Actions
The person making the threat is the best source of information about the bomb. When a bomb threat is
called in, the person taking the call should do the following:
• Keep the caller on the line as long as possible. Ask him or her to repeat the message. Record
every word spoken by the person. (Some building managers and individual tenants may
provide audio recorders for this purpose; others by policy do not)
• Pay particular attention to background noises such as motors running, music playing, and any
other noise that may give a clue as to the location of the caller
• Listen closely to the voice (male or female), voice quality (calm or excited), accent, and any
speech impediment. Immediately after the caller hangs up, report the threat to the person(s)
designated by management to receive such information
• Report the information immediately to the police department, fire department, and other
appropriate agencies. The sequence of notification should be established in the bomb incident
plan
• When a written threat is received, save all materials, including any envelope or container.
Once the message is recognized as a bomb threat, further unnecessary handling should be
avoided. Every possible effort must be made to retain evidence such as fingerprints,
handwriting or typewriting, paper, and postal marks. These will prove essential in tracing the
threat and identifying the writer. Although written messages usually are associated with
generalized threats and extortion attempts, a written warning about a specific device may
occasionally be received. It should never be ignored.
• Document Inventory:
1) Safe work manual for electrical repairs 2) SOP for inspection of Gas pipe line 3)Periodic
checks of Active fire protection systems 4) Ambulance and Hospitals contacts nos. will
be maintained in register
d) Warning Systems
• Facility Manager will announce audio warning in case of fire, lightning or likely flood
situation. Each Office/occupants will be informed by Security section for preparation by
telephone.
• Sirens would be tested at noon on the first Saturday of each month. If you hear the sirens at
any other time, than following steps should be taken:
Shelter Go to nearest shelter to avoid exposure
Shut Shut doors and windows. Building ventilation systems should be shut off
if possible
Listen Go to near the information source for building emergency information
e) Devise system for two-way communication with the affected persons in the building especially
in lifts and rooms
• The entire building shall be provided with the public address system asper the rules.
• Internal Phone in Lift will be available.
Mock drills are conducted to train building occupant and to test the various elements of your response
plan in order to evaluate and revise it. During a disaster, life-protecting actions must be taken
immediately. There will not be time to decide what to do next; everyone must already know how to
react appropriately. After a disaster, further life protecting actions such as emergency evacuation or
first aid administration may be necessary. Drills and exercises are an extremely important part of the
preparedness plan because they
• Teach the occupants of a building how to respond to the complications of an actual disaster
• Helps to evaluate how well all parts of the emergency plan work together and how well the
occupants have been trained
Earthquake

Power Failures
Failure of electrical power to building will have a serious impact on its operations, particularly if
the failure occurs during normal operating hours when the building is fully occupied. A power
failure may be a brownout (a partial reduction in service) or a total blackout.
Power failure can be caused either by man-made or natural events. Man- made causes may
include drivers who collide with utility poles or power transformers, human error in operating
equipment within the building or outside it (such as at the utility company supplying the power),
or malicious tampering. Natural events include storms, floods, and earthquakes.
Power failures also can cause computer memory loss and equipment damage. If the power loss is
anticipated, computers and computer systems can be shut down before it occurs. If no prior notice
is received, the equipment should still be turned off as quickly as possible to avoid potential
serious damage to the electrical system from the sudden surge of power when it is first restored.
Computer systems, particularly mainframes, often are equipped with an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS); and personal computers often are equipped with surge protectors to reduce the
chance of damage when power fluctuates, surges, or is lost.
Buildings have emergency and standby power systems to provide safety and comfort to building
occupants during interruptions in their normal power supply. These systems also provide power to
operate building communication systems and to provide a minimum number of elevator functions.
Both functions are critical to buildings during power failures.
• Notes:
Ratings of D.G. sets will be reviewed after finalization of all designs and before inviting tenders.
It is proposed to install emergency backup only for Essential loads using Diesel Generating Sets
for supply of power when mains power is not available.
Evacuation
• Stay calm; do not rush or panic
• Safely stop your work
• If safe, gather your personal belongings; take prescribed medications with you
• If safe, close doors and window but do not lock them
• If in parking lot, immediately park your car so that the access to other vehicles as well as
people are not hampered and proceed to the nearest exit by staircase or as guided.
• Location of all exit corridors, exit stairs and exit serving the building would be marked and
provided during commissioning stage.
• An evacuation team consisting of building management, the building Facility Manager,
security, Security In-charge, and floor response personnel should be organized and trained.
This should be coordinated with all building tenants and designed in conjunction with
developing the bomb incident plan. The team will be trained in how to evacuate the building
during a bomb threat. The order in which to evacuate—for instance, by floor level should be
established.
• Evacuate the floor levels above and below the danger area to remove occupants from danger
as quickly as possible. Training in such an evacuation usually is made available by building
management, with advice supplied by local law enforcement and the fire department.
• The evacuation team also may be trained in search techniques, or there may be a separate
search team. Volunteers should be sought for this function; however, Security In-charge,
search monitors, and the like could be assigned to the task. To be proficient in searching the
building, search personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all hallways, restrooms, false
ceiling areas, and other locations in the building where an explosive or incendiary device
could be concealed. Thus it is extremely important for the evacuation or search team to be
thoroughly trained and familiar with both the inside of the building and immediate outside
d)Prepare and disseminate pamphlets on each disaster for occupants covering Do’s and Dot’s
for each type of disaster
a) Site disaster manager to take charge and give guidance over public address system
• Facility Manager will take charge and give guidance over public address system during

conducted and reoriented after every drill conducted
Summary:
Prepare occupants in your building ahead of time for emergency evacuations. Know your building
occupants. Awareness of the needs of people with disabilities and to know how to offer assistance.
Hold evacuation drills in which occupants participate, and evaluate drills to identify areas that need
improvement. Plans must cover regular working hours, after hours, and weekends. Everyone needs to
take responsibility for preparing for emergencies. People with disabilities should consider what they
would do and whether they need to take additional steps to prepare. "Emergency Guidelines for
People with Disabilities" may be available from your Building Coordinator.
