Download the Scaffolding Erection & Dismantling - Job Safety Analysis (JSA)👈

Scaffolding is a working platform used to work at height. Scaffolding is available in various forms to perform work activities in various locations which include the following ones;

1. Tower Scaffolding;
2. Single Scaffolding
3. Cantilever Scaffolding
4. Suspended Scaffolding

Moreover, if the scaffolding is erected by an incompetent person the risk of collapse exists, and the structure collapse can lead to severe consequences. It is mandatory that each and every step is assessed by a competent person before the erection/dismantling job commencement and make sure it is done safely. All of the hazards and risks are accounted for and risk level is mitigated to minimum workers are provided with a Safe System of Work (SSoW), a Safe Workplace, Correct tools, Training is provided, and workers are provided with PPEs and Fall Protection to ensure the minor risk of fall is also countered.

All of this can be achieved if the Job Safety Analysis is performed. The job safety analysis is a Hazard Identification technique that divides the main activity into steps and even further to ensure each step of the activity is analyzed & assessed individually and relevant controls are adapted for implementation. In layman's terms, the risk associated with each step of the main activity is assessed separately and managed.

Download the Fall Protection Training👈

Workers are required to work at a height and they are prone to fall down if fall protection is not implemented. Fall protection is saving the workers from falling down so that they don't get injured. In the reports, it is revealed that the workers who fell down suffered a dislocation of joints, broken bones, fractures, and head injuries.

Furthermore, the tools also fell down and injure the workers and other people who are working around them. If this practice is continued without any corrective actions taken, the organization can suffer loss in terms of financial, worker human life, and reputation in society as well as punitive action taken by the regulatory body.

It is mandatory that the corrective actions are adapted, correct platforms are used for the work at height, and workers are trained to perform the work at height. A comprehensive work-at-height rescue plan should be developed and implemented in order to rescue someone who has fallen down or hanging in midair with the harness.

Work platforms should be made up of suitable material, erected and installed by competent people, and secured properly. If the work platform is mobile, it should be provided with outriggers and the locks should be in place when working.

What is Mesothelioma Cancer - An Introduction

Mesothelioma cancer is a disease that develops in the lining that covers the outer surface of the body organs. The development takes place after exposure to Asbestos which is used in the construction industry for roofing, thermal and electrical insulation, cement pipes, coating, plastics, textile industry, paper, and other products.

The asbestos is inhaled and affects the lining of the lungs mainly but other organs are also affected e.g. heart and testicles. Every year more than 2,600 people are diagnosed with the condition in the United Kingdom only, and all over the world, the numbers are quite disturbing because of now awareness, legislation, reporting of disease, etc. The disease spreads more rapidly among people aged between 60-80 years, while in young ones it is also reported which is also affected by many other factors e.g., physical condition, ailment conditions, the industry they are working for, etc. So far, by location 4 main types of Mesothelioma cancer have been identified and characterized as listed below;

1. Lungs - Pleural Mesothelioma
2. Abdomen - Peritoneal Mesothelioma
3. Heart - Pericardial Mesothelioma
4. Testicles - Mesothelioma of the Tunica Vaginalis

Key facts about Mesothelioma!

1. Long Latency Period - Approximately takes 20-50 years to develop into cancer;
2. Pleural Mesothelioma (Lung Problem) accounts for 75% of all Mesothelioma cases;
3. Average cases are reported in people aged 65 years or more;
4. People working directly with minerals or products containing Asbestos are at greater risk;
5. Symptoms of Mesothelioma are treatable, but the cancer is incurable;

Mesothelioma Cancer Symptoms

Post-exposure to asbestos, the tumor grows up, spreads, and presses against the chest wall, and abdominal cavity. A competent physician can diagnose the disease at the early stages, and the advantages of the treatment can be gained, but the symptoms are common, hence the misdiagnosis is common which can cause complicity and delay in treatment leading to other problems in the future.

The common Mesothelioma symptoms are listed hereunder;

• Dry Cough
• Breathing Problem & Respiratory Complication
• Pain (Chest & Abdomen)
• Night Sweats
• Fever
• Pleural Effusion (Water on the lungs)
• Fatigue & Weakness

Who Is At Risk?

The workers engaged in the paint or construction industry are mostly prone to asbestos. Asbestos is used in various industries, hence the workers who handled the asbestos for a long time, or were exposed to a large amount of Asbestos are at greater risk. Furthermore, other people are also at risk who accidentally getting exposed to Asbestos. They inhale the airborne fibrosis of the Asbestos which resides in the body and develops the disease. These include the following ones;

• Firefighters
• Auto Mechanics
• Miners & Chimney Sweepers
• HVAC Technicians
• Textile & Paint Industry Workers
• Electricians
• General Public

What Causes Mesothelioma Cancer?

Asbestos is considered the primary cause of Mesothelioma Cancer among human beings. The exposure takes place due to repeated usage of Asbestos-containing products e.g., talc, paints, construction material, etc. The fibers of Asbestos are capable of becoming airborne which are eventually inhaled by the victim and after entering the human body they reside in the lungs, abdomen, etc. The embedded cells cause inflammation, and as the latency period is quite long, therefore decades after exposure the symptoms appear, and the disease is diagnosed.

Why Mesothelioma Awareness Is Necessary?

Asbestos is the main reason behind Mesothelioma disease among humans which takes lives of 100,000 precious lives, and it is entirely preventable if Asbestos is banned across the globe. Other than this, several Asbestos-related diseases are incurable and fatal therefore it is need of time that the workers and public are educated and cost-effective and that reliable information is conveyed to them at all stages. In simple words, educating them means they would consider banning Asbestos more seriously.

Due to misconception, lack of information, and awareness, in the past no work was done, but now in the light of the present work, technology, and information, organizations are at the forefront of fighting against Asbestos usage and raising voices against it so that Asbestos usage is prevented. In addition to that, these organizations are also raising the funds for research and advocating the ban on Asbestos on all platforms.

September 26 every year is celebrated as Mesothelioma Day & information is spread among the public so that they can also participate in raising their voice against Asbestos usage.

How To Work Safely?

Asbestos is widely used in various industries as mentioned above, and the workers are prone to it, hence in the light of the regulations, the organization is responsible to take adequate corrective actions in order to escape exposure.

1. Adapt the hierarchy of controls;
2. Check and identify if the Asbestos is present at the worksite;
3. Conduct a risk assessment of working with Asbestos;
4. Take approval from the local government if applicable;
5. Hire a specialist contractor for Asbestos removal and handling etc;
6. Dump the Asbestos at a safe location in specialized carriers e.g., plastic bags;
7. Monitoring of the workers during the work activity;
8. Schedule the work activity and reduce the exposure time;
9. Usage of the PPEs;
10. Hire trained workers and convey the information;
11. Use technology to increase the distance between workers and Asbestos contaminated material;
