Abstract

The title of Projek Sarjana Muda (PSM) is Safety Health and Environment: Potential Risk in Construction Industry (Confined Space & Scaffolding)". Occupational, Safety and health is relevant to all branches of industry includes traditional industries, information technology companies also at office. It is particularly important for the construction industry. Construction is a large industry which accounts for gross domestic product of the country. The construction industry has a world reputation for the quality of its work but it remains one of the most dangerous in industries. A confined space is a space that is large enough to be entered and has limited means of entry and exit; and is not designed for continuous occupancy. Examples are tanks, vessels, vaults and pits. The scaffolding means is a temporary modular system of metal pipes forming a framework used to support people and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other large structures. The aim for this project is to identify potential risks that could be occurred in construction industry. The other aim is to relate these risks with Acts (OSHA), Factory & Machinery Acts (FMA) and other related acts along with the related regulation to make some recommendations to minimize the potential risks. This project can also be used to expose the OSHA, FMA and Environment Acts that are commonly used in industry law. During the implementation of this project, confined spaces & scaffolding working area is to be selected for construction industry to make some observation and take photos to verify the potential risks. Observation can analyze the risks and describe potential injuries that could occur. An analysis will be done through questionnaires which are distributed to workers at confined space and scaffolding working area. After this, every risk will be identified by referring to relevant acts. Finally, some recommendations will be made on those risks to minimize the potential hazard and injuries.
