You can identify if the project is healthy or not by conducting HSE assessment and audit. It can be by you or a third party. There is a checklist to follow and a score for every HSE issue. At the end of the audit there will be a score and that will indicate if the site failed or passed.

In reality , Most of the work places are filled with Hazards. hence we cant guarantee 100% safety . but we might be able to reduce those hazards by properly following the rules & regulations , using proper tools & safety equipments at work; Periodical site Safety Auditing & Inspection. With all of these we might ensure safety at the Projects site to the maximum level.

3. Always remember all employees with the Logo (Safety First), to sense, gain and follow the safety roles not just an annunciation.

4. We have to check the site from time to time to check the safety for all people and tools.

5. Encourage the employees to follow the safety polices, for example we can make a competition between all employees and the winner can be the most employee follow the safety or the safety employee raise a near-miss.

6. As we are encouraging our employees, the person he insist on not breaking the safety roles must be punished.

7. I have to be a good example to all the staff in following the safety and healthy roles and policies.
