Lesson 7

• Established specific safety and helath requirementz for virtually all industries

  OSH Act of 1970

• serves as the Ph's central legislation in promoting a safe and helathy workplace for all by protecting them against all hazards in their work environment

  OSH Standard
• RA that was updated last Aug 17, 2018, an act strengthening compliance with occupatioal safety and health standards and providing penalties for violation thereof.


  RA No. 11058
• This act applies to all establishment, projects, sites, and other places where work id being undertaken.

  OSH Standards
• Rights of workers under OSH Standards 


  Right to know

  Right to refuse unsafe work

  Right to report accidents

  Right to PPE
• Impacts not only aesthetics, appearance, and durability but also performance.

  Quality
• Meeting or exceeding the requirements established in the design documents.

  Quality
• A factor to consider when setting quality standard.

  Budget
• Primary objectives of the plan


  Doing things right the first time.

  Preventing things from going wrong.

  Continually improving the process.
• One of the Best ways to avoid miscues and rework that can disrupt the schedule and negatively impact the budget.


  Preparatory Inspection
• Designed to check progress and make sure everything is ready for the next stage of construction.

  Pre inspection
• He grounded the concept of continuous improvement commonly known as TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM)


  Edward Deming
• His theories suggest that no matter how good your product, process, or performance is, itcan always and forever be enhanced.


  Edward Deming
• A recognized quality control and quality assurance program based kn continuous quality improvement.


  Total Quality Management ( TQM)
• aims to improve the organization's ability to achieve quality and deliver the desired output to the client on a continuously improving basis.


  Total Quality Management (TQM)
• Deming Cycle 


  Act-Plan-Do-Check
• Take action to standardize or improve the process.


  Act
• Plan ahead for change. Analyze and predict the results.

  Plan
• Execute the plan, taking small steps in controlled circumstances.

  Do
• Study results.


  Check
• He is the author of "In Search of Excellence", once said that it was much easier to improve 100 things by 1% than it was to change one thing by 100%.


  Tom Peters
• "When I was in business, I always tried to remember this concept and fpund that continuous improvement work best in baby steps versus giant leaps"


  Tom Peters
• Tom Peters used these steps when implementing TQM in his firm and on the job.


  1.Identify the problem.

  2.Break the work down into its smallest pieces or steps.

  3.Identify the weak link.

  4.Determine the remedy.

  5. Apply the remedy.

  6.Measure the result.
• A quality management approach that addresses the quality at which process level and deals with the policies and procedures associated with hiting, training, safety, subcontracting, and procurement.

  Quality Assurance
• A quality management approach that addresses quality at the progress level and deals with the conformance to the plans and specs through submittals, mock-ups, shop-drawings, inspections, and testing.

  Quality Control
• Factors affecting quality assurance.


  1.Hiring practices

  2.Training programs

  3.Safety

  4.Subcontracting practices

  5.Employee incentives
• The typical construction contract establishes a number of controls and procedures designed to ensure that the quality of the materials, equipment, and workmanship used on the job are as specified by the designer.

  Mandated Controls
• It include shop drawings, material data, samples, and product data. These are required primarily for the architect and engineer to verify that the correct products will be installed on the project.


  Submittals
• It refers to the written and/or physical information provided by a responsible contractor (i.e., contractors and subs) to the general contractor. This information is submitted to the design team for approval of equipment, materials, etc. before they are fabricated and delivered to the project.


  Submittals
• These require the contractor to build small models utilizing the specified materials.

  Mock-ups
• These are physical or virtual models of a building or structure that are used during the design and construction phases. These models are used to test the design, check the structural integrity, and validate the final product before the actual construction begins.

  Mock-ups
• These drawings indicate dimensions, materials, finishes, and details associated with their installation. They usually originate with the material supplier or the subcontractor and eventually end up on the architect's desk for final approval.

  Shop drawings
• Common field test

  1.Soil testing for compaction

  2.Concrete testing for slump and strength

  3.Structural steel testing of welds and bolt torques

  4.Asphalt testing for mix design and strength

  5.Aggregate testing for material composition
• The concept behind this is to complete the final walk-through inspection with few or no punch items noted on the list


  Zero-punch list
• A person responsible for leading a team of project managers, which can also include contractors, sub- contractors, and other staff that are essential to the project.


  Project Director
• He is responsible for overseeing compliance with quality and safety activities across the division, providing expert advice, analysis to data and support directorates to deliver on their responsibilities.

  Divisional Safety Manager
• A person who makes the initial planning management of the occupational health and safety matters of the project.

  Project Safety Manager
• A professional tasked with the paramount responsibility of ensuring that workplace environments aren't just operational, but are also safe, adhere strictly to regulations, and are devoid of any potential hazards.


  Safety Manager
• They develop procedures and system designs that protect people from illness and injury and property from damage.

  Safety Engineers
• An individual responsible for ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety (OHS) guidelines in a workplace.
