Safety Guidelines and Procedures

At Lakshya Infra Power we believe that only by integrating safety and quality can we provide high-quality services expected of us. All Lakshya Infra Power’s people personally challenge the notion that injuries happen. Our safety program instills our employees with the conviction that every accident is preventable. And this explains why we maintain our safety standards much higher than average industry standard. Striving for an accident-free environment is a company-wide core value.

The primary objective of our organization is to ensure effective control and elimination of accident in all job sites by maintaining a conducive environment and infrastructural facilities at workplace with due consideration for occupational health and safety legislation.

An awareness of safety culture will be developed for building and maintaining an effective accident prevention program by pertaining on the job safety training and following safe operating procedures of all activities involved in the project.

In continuation with above, continually identifying, assessing and controlling possible risks to the health and safety of people that may arise in workplace.

It is our firm belief that if the procedure and code of practices are followed, we can reach our objectives of achieving “Zero Accident”. Safety of work and accident prevention is the responsibility of every employee.

To identify highly hazardous operations within the scope of work and specify integrated preventive measures to mitigate the same.

To determine broad parameters of safety management at the site level by ensuring periodic training and educative program for our engineer and supervisors regarding safety, who are responsible to ensure ZERO Accident on site by acknowledging various safety procedures and equipments to labour.

We try to create such environment to make a team into enthusiastic level regarding work that has to be carried out. In doing so we held meetings with

Safety Guidelines and Procedures: top management and least person on regular basis to understand their needs and real solution of some critical issues which are better suggested by labour.

We have 3 months schedule of visiting doctors to check health of our employees.

Safety products which we have for Labours, Supervisors and Engineers.

  • Helmets
  • Safety Shoes
  • Gloves
  • First-Aid Kit
  • Reflective Jacket
  • Flashlight (Only if need be)
  • Fire Extinguisher (Wherever needed)
  • Safety Belts (While working on specified heights)

following hazards are usually present or have the potential to occur at some stage during our site work in progress.

  • Visitors and Contractors
  • Trips and Slips
  • Electricity
  • Ladders
  • Plant, Machinery and Equipment
  • Power and Hand Tools
  • Falls from height
  • Moving vehicles (Trucks, Forklifts)
  • Manual Handling
  • Stacked / Stored Material
  • Overhead hazards
  • Biological / Airborne contaminants
  • Knives
  • Fatigue
  • Lone workers
  • Young / Inexperienced workers
  • Drugs and Alcohol

Our Hazard register will be held in the workplace and used as a reference document. This will be regularly reviewed at our Health and Safety meetings and new hazards added if any once identified. A summary of the same will be held in H&S pack and readily available within the workplace.

We will ensure that all major machinery operated, or any high-risk work has a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), manufacturer’s instruction or both. These will document how to manage risks to health and safety relating to work being done. The SOP will contain information on safe operation of machinery and the required risk controls such as guarding and PPE. Hazards relating to specific machinery or high-risk work not already listed in hazard register will be discussed at our Health and Safety meetings and then added to register.

Risk Management

Once hazards have been identified, they will be assessed and controlled by eliminating or minimizing any risks to health and safety.
ELIMINATE: Where reasonably practicable, we will remove the chances of a hazard causing injury, illness, or death.
MINIMISE Where we cannot eliminate the risk, we will as far as reasonably practicably reduce the chance of the hazard causing injury, illness or death by one or more of the following:

  • Substitute (wholly or partly) the hazard creating the risk with something that creates lesser risk.
  • Isolate the hazard from any person who could be exposed to it; and/or.
  • Prevent any person from coming in contact with the hazard; and/or.
  • Implement engineering controls example Guards, Auto cut offs etc.
If the risk still remains, we will further minimize the risk by using Administrative Controls such as Safety procedure signs and checklists etc. and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Hazards that relate to visitors to the workplace and actions to control risks to health and safety are written on our Hazard Boards can be displayed at the entrance(s) to the workplace.

Also following measurements can be taken for minimizing the risk.

  • a. We will ensure all workers are sufficiently competent to do their work safely or are supervised by a competent person.
  • b. We will ensure that all site engineers are sufficiently competent and hold all relevant qualification / experience for the work they are engaged to carry out.
  • c. We will ensure workers receive adequate and readily understandable information, training, instruction and supervision relevant to the work they are doing (example Manual Handling, Fork lifting).
  • d. Inexperienced workers will be supervised at all times until they are deemed competent to carry out work unsupervised.

Organization

It is the collective responsibility of all company employees to ensure the total and correct application of all relevant procedures outlined in the above chart.

  • ➢ These processes are for the purpose of problem and risk prevention and assist in achieving quality products and services.
  • ➢ Due to fluctuating respective workloads, the roles and job requirements of management personnel can often vary; whichever role is undertaken, the respective quality assurance responsibilities must be strictly adhered to so as to maintain appropriate quality standard and communication.

Manpower Planning and Site Organogram

The coordination of large project is a complex task. Due to the increasing interconnection, interaction and dependency between different components of a project progressing ahead simultaneously, it becomes of extreme importance to incorporate adequate number of people and organize them.

Despite the best practices deployed, delays, rework and added expense often result from inadequate planning. The large number of details and inability to foresee all circumstances that will occur in the course of a project require that a series of plans of increasing details be developed, beginning with the Look-ahead schedule design and progressing through short term schedules that coordinate the work on a daily and weekly basis. It is these plans and schedules which enable to identify and overcome the shortages and surpluses so that quick action can be taken wherever required.

Manpower planning consists of putting right number of people, right kind of people at the right place, right time, doing the right things for which they are suited best and allocated for the achievements of the goals of the organization.
