Building site accident reporting ‘is flawed’

Matt Kwong : Last Updated: March 05. 2009 9:30AM UAE / March 5. 2009 5:30AM GMT

ABU DHABI // The reporting of accidents on construction sites is flawed, a new study says.The problems include a lack of basic information, such as the injured person’s nationality and the machinery being used, according to the UAE University study.The Ministry of Labour’s safety and inspections office plans next week to review how the information is collected.

Construction crews work on the foundation of the Masdar Institute in Masdar City on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. Ryan Carter / The National.

“The system the ministry is using right now is kind of general,” said Noura al Kaabi, the lead researcher of the study. “The safety department is covering all kinds of occupational hazards so it’s not particular for construction. We designed a better, simplified computer database for the ministry that fits with the construction industry.”

She characterised the proposed reporting system as “a report and an investigation at the same time” because of the depth of information it allows.

“If we have a fall, you select where he falls from,” she said. “An elevated platform, a roof, an opening, a staircase or scaffolding? And then what kind of fall protection was in place – a guard rail system or safety nets? Was he pushed or was it a defective fall protection system?”

The director of the inspections department at the ministry, Muhsin Saeed, said yesterday that it has been in contact with Ms al Kaabi.

“Maybe we can mix her system and ours together,” he said.

Health and safety managers of major developers also urged the ministry to improve how it records construction accidents.

Dave Bass, of Al Naboodah Contracting Company, said that while builders were required by law to enter basic information such as the person’s name and sex, “there are also some strange questions there”.

“If you look to the labour law, there is a table that tells you one of the items you’re supposed to have within the reports is how much the guy was earning,” he said. “What on earth does that matter to an accident report?”

Andrew Broderick of Aldar Properties, one of the country’s largest developers, said that before yesterday he was unaware of any kind of form used by the ministry for occupational accidents.

“I’ve never seen this before in my life,” Mr Broderick said after receiving a faxed copy.

He said the form was inadequate for the construction industry. “I know that straight away because it asks for ‘profession or trade’, so this could be oil and gas, this could be working in a factory or a kitchen.”

Mr Broderick and Mr Bass stressed that the fundamental problem was a lack of enforcement.

“Do the little companies actually report their statistics?” he asked. “I know of some small companies of 200 or 300 people that build two or three villas at a time and they’re not reporting anything.”

Ms al Kaabi said one of the study’s objectives was to help the ministry determine which companies should be awarded contracts. Those with poor safety records could be ruled out.

The trade group Safe Build UAE recently published figures showing there were 20 fatalities last year and 690 lost-time injuries on construction sites. The most common cause of injury was falling from height, with 81 incidents.

Building Collapse in Cologne


By James Wray Mar 3, 2009, 19:30 GMT



Concrete mixers seen at work at the site of the collapsed Historic City Archive in Cologne, Germany, 03 March 2009. Despite the fact that the building did not house any flats, it could not be ruled out that people were present in or in front of the archive during the accident. At the time nine persons were reported missing. New tunnels for Cologne's tube system are currently being dug underneath the premises, but whether the collapse is linked with these construction works remains unclear.

2 hurt as crane crashes down on cars

JEDDAH: Two people were injured when a construction crane came crashing down on top of two passing vehicles and a government building during morning rush hour in Jeddah’s Al-Rawdah district yesterday.

The incident took place at 8 a.m. and the area was sealed off for more than six hours. Three Civil Defense rescue units were dispatched to the scene.

“I was taking my son to school when the crane came crashing down right in front of us, smashing several cars,” said Kariema Abou Baker, a 42-year-old Australian mother of six from Melbourne.

“I screamed and my son was terrified. I am still in a state of shock,” Kariema, who is married to a Saudi, told Arab News in a phone interview a few hours after the incident.

She added that the loud sound of the impact had people rushing out from the surrounding shops to investigate the cause.

“I feel sorry for those injured. I take the same route every day to drop off my son. It could have been our car crushed under that crane,” she said. “I am disgusted with the construction company and municipal officials who inspect the site.”

Civil Defense spokesman Capt. Abdullah Al-Amri said a construction worker and the driver of one of the vehicles were injured in the accident.

“The crane fell on two cars and a government building located on the opposite side of the road,” he said. The accident also damaged parts of the road.

“The crane was attached to the fourth floor of a building under construction,” said Al-Amri. “We are investigating what caused the accident,” he added.

“Either the crane was very old or it was overloaded,” Civil Defense Director in Jeddah Brig. Gen. Mohammed Al-Ghamdi told reporters at the accident site.

But a construction supervisor who did not want to give his name told Arab News that the crane was fairly new. “It was three years old and was scheduled for maintenance,” he said before rushing off not wanting to disclose further details.

The two cars damaged were a Lexus and a GMC suburban. The injured driver of the Lexus was taken to King Faisal Specialist Hospital for treatment.

Building sites safety blitz to cut deaths

Rochdale has been targeted by the Health and Safety Executive for an initiative to reduce the death toll in the construction industry.

Starting on Monday, HSE inspectors will be out in force visiting sites to drive home the safety message — especially in the refurbishment, repair and maintenance sector.

Around 1,500 construction sites — including 200 across the North West — are part of a campaign to tackle poor safety standards.

In 2007/08 there were 72 deaths on construction sites, with 38 in the refurbishment sector.

Inspectors will make unannounced visits to sites to raise awareness of the problem, with the refurbishment sector accounting for 50% of all accidents, but representing only 40% of all construction activity.

In a similar initiative last year, 187 inspections were carried out in the region with enforcement action being taken in 103 cases.

The HSE has warned that contractors can once again expect strong enforcement action.

Inspectors will be targeting principal contractors to see how they are managing working safely at height; good order on site and the risks associated with the removal of asbestos.

HSE’s chief inspector of construction Stephen Williams said: “While workers in the refurbishment sector continue to be injured and killed, HSE will continue to target the contractors and principal contractors on those sites which flout health and safety law and come down hard on them where necessary.”

Other boroughs involved in this first crackdown are Oldham, Barrow, Kendal, Lancaster, Morecambe, Macclesfield, Knutsford, Crewe, Nantwich, Congleton, Chester, Warrington, Northwich, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Runcorn and Widnes.

Deaths in Uganda building collapse


Rescue teams tried to reach workers trapped under the rubble [Reuters]



Six workers have been killed and a number of others are thought to be trapped after a building under construction collapsed in the centre of Kampala, the Ugandan capital, officials said.

Six other workers were taken to hospital with severe injuries after they were removed from the rubble, according to a local police officer.

A worker said the accident happened when a wall fell down early in the day on Thursday.

He said around 24 people were working on site when the building caved in.Rescue teams were digging at the site, trying to retrieve those trapped.

Ugandan civil engineers have complained about construction companies not following safety and labour regulations, exposing the workers and the public to unnecessary risks.

One dead, four injured at building site

Thursday, 26th February, 2009
By Herbert Ssempogo and Chris Kiwawulo



ONE person died and four others sustained injuries yesterday when earth at a city construction site caved in on them. The accident, coming about 16 hours after a fire destroyed a city market, occurred at an excavated plot of land on Snay Bin and Dastur streets.

Witnesses said Edward Buwembo, Sande Omusingo, Matia Arinaitwe and two other unidentified men, were scooping soil out of a 10 metre deep hole, when earth suddenly hurtled down, killing Arinaitwe instantly.

Moments after the accident, men dashed to the scene with spades and rescued the other four. They received treatment at Mulago Hospital in Kampala. Arinaitwe’s body, was recovered and taken to the city mortuary.

The construction site is said to belong to Gaster Lule, the proprietor of Ntake Bakery. Kampala city council spokesperson, Simon Muhumuza, said Lule did not follow procedure like having a registered engineer on site.

Witnesses said the casual labourers had excavated murram for over a fortnight. Godfrey Byaruhanga, a survivor, said they were paid sh5,000 per day.

The Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura, who cut short a trip to the Nakivubo Park Yard Maket, visited the scene. “We must find out who authorises these defective plans.

We cannot allow this to continue happening. Whoever is in charge should be held responsible. We will investigate and the person found liable will be arrested,” he stated.

He said the Police would ask Parliament to give them authority to authorise such projects. Kampala resident district commissioner Alice Muwanguzi said the incident justified the Government’s desire to take over the management of the city. Lule could not be reached for a comment.

Last year eight people were killed and one injured after an excavated wall collapsed at the construction site of the NSSF pension building on Lumumba Avenue in Kampala.
