Thread Content

I. Protective equipment    1. Safety helmets show no signs of aging, damage, or any unauthorized repairs or modifications.     2. Wear a safety helmet properly: Ensure the helmet is worn correctly with the straps fastened.     3. Wear qualified safety glasses.     4. Wear the face shield properly. Such as grinding, cutting, crushing, and other operations.     5. Safety glasses must also be worn under a welding mask. Welding assistants also need to wear sunglasses.     6. Choose and wear appropriate protective gloves according to the type of work; each team must ensure that its employees have gloves.     7. All personnel on site must wear reflective vests.     8. Do not roll up the sleeves of your work clothes, and do not leave your clothes unbuttoned to prevent direct skin exposure and potential harm.     9. Drivers and others should use seat belts; they must wear protective equipment and close the doors before getting out of the vehicle.     II. Work at Heights 1. Safety belts that are defective, damaged, or lack inspection labels must be replaced promptly; any defective safety belts or those without labels in the team should be replaced immediately.     2. Working on a mobile scaffold at heights of more than 1.8m without properly using a safety belt; the safety belt should be attached to a higher position.     3. When stacking materials or loading/unloading them, no fall protection is used at heights exceeding 1.8m.     4. No warning area is established below the work at height, or the safety distance of the warning area is insufficient (2 times), and the warning area is not enclosed with gaps.     5. During work at heights, the safety harness was not hung high and used low; due consideration was not given to the safe falling distance for the shock-absorbing lanyard.     6. Safety belt anchorage points are unreliable and insecure; for example, attaching them beneath steel structures or to the edges of scaffold pipes.     7. There are no fall protection measures for tools and equipment at heights, such as using tool bags or tying them down.     8. Concurrent operations, with the personnel below not being protected.     9. When moving at heights, 100% fall protection must not be used; instead, double hooks should be used alternately.     10. Materials used for work at heights are not cleared away in a timely manner, and no fall protection is provided; loose materials are stored in buckets or bags.     11. The safety passages for entering and exiting the high-work area were not considered before starting the work.     12. All passageways, fire exits, and electrical box doors must not be blocked; wires, gas cylinders, or other objects must not be placed in passageways.      III. Hot work   1. No inspection was carried out before using the welding machine; the connection points of the welding cable (terminals) were not in good condition, which led to localized high temperatures and resulting fires.     2. Before hot work, no inspection and cleanup was carried out within the surrounding safe distance, leaving behind combustible and flammable materials.     3. Welding operations were carried out without appropriate fire extinguishers, and the fire extinguishers were not placed in the right locations. 4. There must be a fire watchperson to ensure that any dangers that arise during the operation can be addressed promptly.     5. The gas cylinder is not secured, and the fixing position is incorrect; it should be fixed at 2/3 of the way up from the top of the cylinder.     6. Cylinders that are not applicable do not have protective steel caps. The cylinders stored in the cylinder cage are not secured.     7. There are no safety signs or warning labels at the location where the gas cylinders are stored, and the distance between the acetylene and oxygen cylinders is insufficient.     8. During gas welding operations, the distance between the acetylene cylinder and the oxygen cylinder was less than 5 meters, and the cylinders were less than 10 meters away from the ignition point.     9. The outlet hose of the gas cylinder is severely aged; the oxygen cylinder lacks a backfire prevention device, and no special hose clamps are used.     10. A fire receiving basin was not used during work at heights, or a no-entry zone was not established below.     11. Do not use power tools or engage in welding work when flammable materials are present in the surrounding area.     12. Smoking is allowed near areas where flammable materials are stored, with no necessary warning signs or no-smoking signs in place.     IV. Scaffolding   1. The scaffolding lacks labels, and there is no inspection date on the back of the labels.     2. The scaffolding planks are not fully laid, failing to meet the construction requirements; the lack of planks results in gaps.     3. The wire used for securing the planks is too thin, and the method of securing them is incorrect; each plank should be secured separately.     4. The setting position of the upper and lower ladders is incorrect, causing conflicts with the workpieces being processed.     5. The ladder should be installed only at the platform, extending more than two steps beyond it.     6. The skirting boards were not installed correctly; skirting boards were not installed on all four sides of the platform.     7. The crack at the scaffold head was not secured with wire.     8. The ground where the mobile scaffolding is erected is uneven.     9. A wooden ladder was found to be in use at the scene.     V. Lifting   1. The load is suspended in the air, and the crane operator leaves the crane.     2. Crane operators are prohibited from leaving the cab without wearing personal protective equipment.     3. There is no warning for the working radius, and no safety signs have been installed. Workers are moving around in the lifting operation area.     4. Crane operators have no flags, no whistles, and use sign language.     5. The load is not being lifted using a tail rope, or the tail rope used is too short.     6. Incorrect use of lifting straps: When lifting angular objects, no protective measures were used. The strap is not connected using a buckle.     7. The staff pass under the lifted load and work on it while it is suspended there.     VI. Electricity 1. Power tools are not regularly inspected, and equipment inspection labels are not posted.     2. Do not allow non-electricians to connect wires or repair power tools.     3. No regular inspections were carried out to promptly identify and replace faulty switchgear.     4. The power cord of the power tool was damaged and not promptly wrapped up for insulation.     5. The switch box bracket is not securely installed; it does not stay in place when used on site, and sometimes it falls to the ground during use. The box door is not closed while in use, and no daily inspection records are kept for the fixed distribution box, nor are there any detailed identification signs or inspection color codes in place.     6. The cable laying is messy; no insulating S-hooks or triangular supports are used. Cables running across roads and passages are neither protected nor installed at a sufficient height of at least 4.5 meters; moreover, no conspicuous safety warning tapes are applied.     7. Damaged electrical sockets were not replaced in a timely manner, and the circuit breakers or sockets in the switch box were not securely fixed.     8. The protective housing of the lighting fixture is cracked, and the glass cover is missing.     9. The installation location of the distribution box is inappropriate, with insufficient operating space.     VII. Excavation work   1. Safe distance between the excavator and the edge (1.5–2 m).     2. Flag bearers were not assigned as required.     3. Barriers were not promptly set up along the edges of the excavated foundation pit.     4. There are no appropriate safety passages for workers to enter the pit, and no measures are in place to prevent the pit from collapsing.     5. The operator was working in front of the loader while the loader’s generator was not turned off.     VIII. Civilized Construction   1. The work site is not cleaned up in a timely manner after the work is completed.     2. The materials at the construction site are disorganized; they are not stored in a categorized manner nor are they neatly stacked.     3. The access paths on site are occupied by construction materials.     4. The lines/gas pipes on site are not hung at a height of 2m or measures are not in place to prevent pedestrians from tripping over them.     5.

Scaffolding steel pipes and wooden boards were not stacked in the designated place in a timely manner.     7. No drip trays or spill containment pans were used in areas where water or other liquids might leak/spill; any chemically hazardous liquids that spilled on site were not promptly cleaned up.     8. Gas cylinders were casually discarded on site; they were not stored at designated locations as required.     IX. Tools and Equipment    1. Electrical tools are not regularly inspected, nor are color-coded labels affixed to them.     2. The power cord of the power tool was damaged and not promptly wrapped up for insulation. 3. Use self-made tools for the task.     4. The electric welder was used without being grounded, and the terminal blocks were exposed.     5. Missing guards for compressor belts/discsaws/grinders and grindstones, as well as other rotating parts.     6. Aerial work tools are left unattended instead of being stored in tool bags, making it easy for them to fall and cause injury.     7. The feet of an A-frame ladder lack anti-slip treatment, or work is carried out on the top floor and the 2 floors below of the A-frame ladder. During the task, no one was holding the ladder ; Perform work with your back to the ladder.     8. Moving the scaffold while people are standing on it.     X.
