*The Basics Of The '5-S' Practice*

*A brief introduction to "5-S": *

*The "5-S" practice is a well-recognised methodology used by the Japanese to
improve the work environment. A well-recognised methodology to improve work
environment, the concept is fast catching up in many western countries. It
has now evolved into a formal technique, which the Japanese believe is
useful not just for improving the physical environment, but also for
improving Total Quality Management (TQM) processes as well. Many everyday
problems could be solved through adoption of this practice. It is also seen
that many companies have included a few aspects of the "5-S" in their
routine processes without being aware of its existence as a formal
technique. In fact, the "5-S" can be applied to activities in all walks of
life.*

*Occupation Health & Safety Hazards in Construction Industry *

Safety is a critical item on all construction projects for multiple reasons
including protecting the welfare of employees, providing a safe work
environment and controlling construction costs.

However, the importance of safety as a cost controlling measure is often
overlooked by owners and contractors. As a means of reducing the risks
associated with construction, safety can significantly impact the overall
cost. A dedicated commitment to safety by both the owner and contractor
helps ensure project success and can impact the bottom-line considerably.

To avoid the high losses caused by injuries, contractors are required to
implement various safety procedures like fall protection, hazcom,
respiratory protection, confined space entry, competent person and other
programs that control the causes of injuries.  If the contractor is
successful in preventing these injuries, overhead costs of insurance and
hidden costs of accidents are significantly reduced, bringing more profit
dollars back to the contractor. Hidden costs of an accident are four to 10
times the actual costs of the claim and account for items such as employee
replacement costs, OSHA citations, loss of use, increased insurance costs,
damaged product, etc.  The claim only includes items such as doctors,
ambulance, indemnity, as well as prescription and medication costs.

Therefore, if the contractor has a great workers' compensation
safetyrecord, the firm is more efficient in reducing risks, more
profitable, has
more on-time completion of contracts, less rework and is in effect, actively
working to reduce the construction risks to the owner of the project.

Owners sometimes hesitate and feel that they are interfering with the
contractor's way of doing business if they express concerns over safety at a
jobsite.  In reality, owners have the absolute right to mandate that a good
quality safety program is an important part of the selected contractor's
culture. The contract documents are a very effective tool in conveying the
owner's safety requirements to the contractor.

In addition, there are many benefits to pre-qualifying a contractor by
comparing the firm's safety record and other company statistics with the
competition.  A contractor with a good safety program is often a better
choice even if the initial bid package is higher than the firm's
competitors.  Poor safety compliance increases the owner's risks and often
inflates the final costs of a completed contract, and it is the final costs
that need to be factored into this decision making process.

It is important for owners to take charge of the project and start viewing
the contractor as a partner in the construction process.  After all, the
owner needs to have the project completed and the contractor needs the work.
Neither one can be successful without the other. Although it takes a little
more effort for the owner to become part of the process, his or her
involvement is rewarded with a smooth-running, low stress, on-time and
on-budget project. Without participation in the process, the owner is
passively giving control to the contractor.  There tends to be greater risks
and the owner will often spend more time struggling to cope with the
challenges rather than ensuring that his or her expectations are being met.
Significant dollars are at stake during construction projects, and owners
can either choose to control risks or let the contractors add money to their
contracted price to cover the ultimate or expected losses.

All India Management Association, Pune has organized a training program on
this important topic, on *Thursday, 29th  May 2008*. This program shall be
very useful for professional and engineers working in Construction Industry.
Interested may contact AIMA's Shivajinagar Office on phone 25533859 or cell
94223 18263.
This program is being conducted in association with the *Institute of
SafetyManagement and Services
