Industrial Safety & Welfare Part 02

Men At Work End

Men at work end sign is used to worn the motorists the end of the men working area in the road construction section.

Road Narrow

Road narrow sing is used to worn the motorists existing width becomes restricted. According to type of restriction we must decided the sing type of road narrow to be used. Road narrow sign normally fix at twenty five after the Men at Work signboard

Hump

Hump sign is used to worn the motorists, hump is ahead and slow down the vehicle. The purpose of Hump make the vehicle speed to death slow at hazardous places so the vehicle must slow down their speed and accident con be minimize. Hump must be constructed with hump ahead signboards fix both side of hump. Two hump ahead signboards fix thirty meters after and before the hump.

Traffic Cones

Traffic cones are temporarily provided on the carriageway during road works and are generally placed around the obstruction or parallel to the centre line of road. Traffic cones are made of rubber or suitable plastic material having the standard color and size as shown in the figure beside and could be used to divert traffic cones around road work or trenching. The spacing between traffic cones vary according to the speeds of motor vehicles. An average cone spacing 9m is used on the straight section parallel to the centre line of the road and 12m spacing on the tapering section, A tapering angle of 30 to 45 degrees may be adopted.

Flags

Where road works are in progress the narrowing of road carriageway may permit only single file traffic and it may become necessary to provide for control of traffic at the two ends. This particularly so If the section is long and the volume of traffic is high manual control of traffic could be effected by two workman carrying red and green flags at the two end and permit only traffic in one direction at a time. In the alternative traffic control could be affected by the use of temporary traffic signals at two ends of the narrowed section.

Flagger

Before some is given the job of a flagger he must be trained. The flagger has an important task since safety for working as well as road users is a lot dependent on flagger.

The flagger must be wearing a reflective safety vest for visibility and also to enable driver to identify the flagger as a person authorized to direct traffic.

The flagger behavior is most important since driver’s tendency to obey orders given by the flagger is very much dependent on that of the flagger behaving orderly.

To direct traffic the flagger should use the red and green flags or the stop and go signs. The flagger should not wave his arms traffic but should use flag or signs and hold them steadily so the driver can see and understand the signals given.

Stop And Go Sign

The stop side of the sing shall be red with a white band the text “STOP” All road users are obliged to stop and wait as long as the ”STOP SIDE” is directed towards the traffic.

The “GO SIDE” of the sign shall be green with a white a while band and the text “GO” Road users may proceed when the “GO SIDE” is directed towards traffic

Welfare Facilities

The road development Authority is a semi government firm. They rules and regulation like a government department, there are lot of welfare facilities and French – benefit to employs. This firm is better to employ any level workmen to employs.

  • These are the benefit
  • RDA allowance
  • Dead donation
  • Annual bones
  • Festival allowance
  • Petrol allowance
  • They give an uniform
  • Loan facilities

    Highway 1 provides 2 types of reflective tape specifically made for road cones, the self adhesive and the single piece (needs glues) types. Both have their benefits.

Field Density Test

Image
  The sand cone method is used for field density test in our highway construction. In the field, the dry density test is carried out for check the compaction of layers. Compaction is most useful for the preparation of sub base grade and other pavement layers and in construction of embankment in order to increase the stability and to decrease settlement. In field compaction, the compacting moisture content is first controlled at optimum moisture content and the adequacy of rolling or compaction is controlled by checking the dry density achieved and comparing with the maximum dry density. Base layer-98% Sub base layer-98% Type 1 layer-95% ABC layer-100% Road shoulder- 98% Field density test Testing procedure: The weight of empty sand cone is measured and then filled with dry sand and weighted. The soil excavated from the hole is collected and weighted. After weighting, a specimen of soil is taken to determine it water content. The sand cone is placed on...

METHOD OF INTERNAL & EXTERNAL PLASTERING ON BRICK WALLS & CONCRETE SURFACES

Method of Plastering. Internal plastering on surfaces of brick and concrete. External wall plastering. Soffit plastering / Soffit finishing with cement based easy plaster material and wall putty. Improving joint of brick walls & structural concrete joints. Internal Plastering on surfaces of Brick and Concrete. Surface where plastering is to be done will be cleaned. Level pegs on walls will be fixed with reference to the off lines to brick walls set out in floors. (Using centre plumb bob and nylon thread). All the brick walls will be watered before pasting mortar on walls. First coat mortar filling (1:4 Cement and Sand) upto 15 mm will be applied on surfaces where required mortar thickness exceed 25mm. Walls and columns will be plastered 1:4 Cement and Sand to achieve semi rough finished surface. Vertical joint of structural columns / walls & brick walls will be treated by fixing 200mm width chicken mesh with wire nails / concre...

CRACK TREATMENT OF THE ASPHALT BINDER COURSE

Image
  Main Break Water(MBW) access road occurs several cracks on the asphalt binder course. The road cracks are monitored and investigated with specialist from RDA Research & Development. This report describes the reason and remedial method of the cracks based on the investigation and consultation. MBW access road structure consists of fallowing cross section and the core samples have been taken on the cracks. According to core sample data, can be observed that the crack was started from CBM and reflected to the binder course surface. CRACK INVESTIGATION The crack survey carried out for the entire road and investigation detail summarized as an attached sheet. Core samples were taken from the jointly selected locations with the engineer. MBW access road cracks were categorized into two types based on crack surface appearance. Transverse cracks Longitudinal cracks ...

Survey & levelling

Image
    Preliminary work in road construction is surveying & leveling works. This consists of Traverse Survey, TBM Survey, and Centre Line Setting out, Centre Line marking, Cross Section Survey and Submittal of Drawings. Traverse Survey At the commencement of contract all the basic traverse points will be checked and if any are found to be missing or appear to have been disturbed, necessary arrangements should be made to re-establish the points and traverse survey is carried out after that. Establishing TBMS We did not use survey Department bench marks .The permanent concrete cube was selected to permanent bench mark. It height was assumed hundred meters. But this point is not sufficient for construction purposes. So reference to this point Temporary bench marks (TBM) should be established. TBMs are used to transfer reduce levels in road construction. Temporary bench marks should be established at the rate of four per km and also at or near all structures. When e...
