Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a process that breaks down and identifies the dangers of a particular job operation or task by integrating health and safety practices to reduce the potential hazard to the workers.  A job safety analysis suggests the safest way to perform a job. Job Safety Analysis includes careful examination of each task within a job and documentation of the same to determine the possible safety hazard. Thereafter, a step-by-step process is laid to control the risk level. Job Safety Analysis is also referred to as Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) or Job Hazard Breakdown. A construction project consists of innumerable tasks. The work environment on the sites is constantly changing and prone to high risks, which cannot be eliminated completely but can be mitigated. Job Safety Analysis is a lean approach to the management of safety in the construction industry. By identifying the risk-prone activities, diligent planning and efforts are put into execution to increase the safety...

The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, was brought about to regulate employment, prevent exploitation, and improve working conditions for contract labour in Africa.

In the Building and other Construction Workers Act, 1996, it has been cited that a ‘building worker’ can be hired through a contractor to carry out skilled, unskilled, and...

First of all We advice our architect  to select and design type of a wall that is suitable for the degree of forced rain severity anticipated in the location of the project. Completely grouted barrier wall or drainage wall with minimum thickness of 20 mm is recommended for seriously driven rain condition. Design of Drainage Wall to Improve Water Penetration Resistance of Masonry When drainage wall is selected, the wall should be designed in such a way that prevents the water penetration through the outer Wythe of the wall. For the outer Wythe masonry wall maintain its water resistance ability, cracks under service load should be prevented. When masonry cement is employed, the lower tensile bond strength of the cement should be considered in specifying whether the veneer will crack or not whereas if steel studs are utilized it is recommended to consider the steel flexibility in determining whether the veneer cracks or not. If the cavity wall is determined to be employed, the de...
