Job Safety Analysis during Tunnel Construction

Purpose: There are many tunnels under construction in Nepal as its mountainous country. Road, water supply, hydropower, and irrigation projects through the tunnel. “Safety First” should be one of main objectives any mainly tunnel shall given high priority throughout period. A single person alone cannot do it alone. team including safety professionals to concentrate on health, safety, environmental concerns involved ensure that environment will maintained site. OSH is relation between man man, machine environment. The paper aims analyze job major selected activities during tunneling. Design/Methodology/Approach: Site Observation, Key Informant Interview (KII), Study Methods Statement were done data collection tools. Job analysis identification activity with risk level determined so proper prevention control mechanism could implemented. Drilling, excavation, blasting, mocking, scaling shotcerting whose hazards, responsible party identified. Findings/Result: study reveals occupational hazards mechanical chemical hazards. Rockfall landslide noted hazard whereas toxic gas cement dust Similarly, noise vibration physical untimely payment wages leave psychological It was reported accident occurred at sites where leg struck steps boomer while pulling a worker save him from falling boomer, penetration by fine grinding wheel material into eye carrying out grind cutting drum faint due oxygen deficiency inside Some minor accidents road traffic accidents, cut sharp tools, fall/hit to/hit objects, splashing acids, burning caught fire, etc. fatal mechanics blown away erupted tyres filling up air same workers lost his life truck work premise. families demised had been compensated company. For safe requires teamwork sincere coordinated effort all stakeholders. Lack regular inspection monitoring site cause improper implementation prevailing health regulations. Originality/Value: highly significant for working engineers perform task without misfortune Paper Type: Project Management Action Research.
