 Site Layout:
• A site layout is a scaled drawing of the propose construction site showing all relevant
features such as,
• Entry point
• Exit point
• Storage are of materials-bricks-cement-sand-aggregate
• Temporary services-washing and toilet
• Contractor site office
• Area of keeping equipment such as mixer
• Bar bending area o Labor housing
• A site layout is prepared to promise that work proceeds smoothly without any obstruction.
• The various construction resources such as material, men, machinery etc. should be
arranged in such way to achieve optimal utilization of space. The larger and more complex
the project, greater will be the need for planned job layout and detailing at site.
• Job layout can be defined as a site drawing of the proposed construction showing the
location of entry, exit, temporary services, material stores and stocks, plant or equipment
and site offices.
• The larger and more complex the project, greater will be the need for planned job layout
and detailing at site.

 Purpose of preparing site layout
• To save time in delivering construction material at the side of construction
• To safeguard construction material from damage and deterioration
• To keep the lead of cartage minimum, so that cartage expenses may be minimum
• To adopt the best mode of working
• To complete the work with the minimum use of equipment and machinery
• To take maximum output from labor and machinery
• To provide safety to workers and passer-by etc.
• To avoid damage due to construction activities to the nearby properties
• To common use materials as fine and coarse aggregate should be stored to near to each
other
• To store construction materials as near the place of the utilization as possible
 Advantage of a good site layout
• Smooth and economical working of the project.
• Reduces the completion time of the project.
• Provide more safety in the working of the project.
• Material wastage and deterioration are reduced.
• Material transactions becomes easy, speedy and economical.
• Increase the output of labour and machinery.

 Factor affection Site layout:
• Nature of the project:
This will play a great roll in the preparation of the job layout. If it is a multi-storied building
Project, then it will require a centrally located lay out scheme. On the other hand, if for
Example, it is a highway construction project, then it will require a number of construction
Centrist suitable locations.
• Construction method:
The construction can be either cast-in situ or by precast elements. if it is to be of precast
Elements, the provision for a casting yard suit be included in the job layout.
• Availability of resources:
In executing a project, various types of resources such as neighbor, plant and equipment,
materials, etc. are required.
If the labor is from the outside the area, then layout will have to take in to account the food,
temporary housing, washing and either facility required by them.
They should be well protected from damage due to atmospheric and whether effects Pilferage
of material should not occur.
• Medical facility:
If it is a big and complex type of project, then it is desirable that a field medical facility is
provided.

• Contractor’s/site engineer’s offices:
There should be located preferably in a noise free are for batter co-ordination
• Provision for temporary roads:
These are necessary to transport the necessary plant, machinery and material required for the
project and also to provide the access to the construction site form the existing nearby roads
• Other facility’s:
Necessary provision of service such as supply of power, telephone connection and also
repaired and maintenance yards should be made.
 Principal used for preparation of job layout
1. Administrative block-
The administration block should be located near the main Entrance of the project site, so that
the visitor do not require to move long in construction area. In the reduction chance of
accidents to the visitors
2. Material storage-
Store should be preferably located near the administration block so that incoming material
can be easily stored and outgoing material can be watch properly
3. Entry and exits
For easy flow of traffic entry and exit should be at different locations
4. Location of workshop-
workshop for welding, fitting electrication carpenter and mechanical etc. Should be located
near the site of work and easy Roads

5. Service-
Services like temporary telephone line ,water supply line should be properly planned in site
layout .
6. Temporary roads-
Temporary Roads should be planned in site layout for easy handling of materials and
equipment.
7. Labor accommodation-
In the site layout labor quarters should be located away from the actual work site at silent
place all the labor should be located at one place so that service can be made available easily.

 Importance of Safety
• Construction accounts for most of the injuries. The rate of disabling accidents in
construction industry is roughly twice the rate of other industries and the death rate is
roughly three times that of other industries. The construction industry is employing the
largest labour force in the country. About 73 % of the total workforce is unskilled and
uneducated. They have to work under tough outdoor climatic conditions.
• Human life is precious and it should be the duty of all stakeholders to make the
construction site a safe place to work.
• The reasons for considering safety are,
 Human aspect
• When the accident happens, the resulting suffering of the injured workers and their
families is difficult to quantify in economic terms.
 Economic aspect
• The direct costs of accidents are medical care expenses for injured, workmen’s
compensation costs, increased insurance premiums, replacement cost of damaged
equipment, fees of lawyers, etc.
• The indirect costs of accidents are slowdown in operation, productivity time lost by
injured worker and fellow workers, extra administrative work, etc.

 Legal aspect
• As per different acts and laws, the employer should look after the safety of the employee.
Violation of these laws will be subject to punishment.
 Organizational Image aspect
• A good safety record produces higher morale and productivity and stronger employee
loyalty. It also improves the company’s public image.
 Causes of Accidents
• An accident is an unplanned, undesired, unexpected and uncontrolled event resulting in
the loss of production, injury to the person, and damage equipment, in the course of
employment.
• The causes of accidents are,
• Lack of planning and organization
• Defects in technical planning
• Fixing unsuitable time-limits and targets too difficult to achieve
• Assignment of work to incompetent contractors or persons.
• Lack of coordination between different departments.
• Inadequate preparation for work
• Inadequate instructions regarding the work
• Employment of unskilled or untrained workers
• Inadequate supervision of work

• Use of improper building material.
• Unsafe material handling and storage.
• Fall from heights.
• Electric shocks
• Struck by falling objects
• Caving in of sides of excavated deep trenches.
• Unsafe scaffolding and ladders.
• Absence of railing projections at upper floors.
• Unsuitable equipment.
• Defects in equipment.
• Lack of safety devices and measures.
• Improper operations of lifts and cranes.
• Unskilled or untrained operators.
• Lack of effective communication.
• Lack of security at the work site.
• Lack of safety training.
• Worker’s carelessness
• Unauthorized irresponsible acts by workers.
• Consumption of drugs or alcohol, Not using protective wears., Improper clothing
,Inadequate ventilation and illumination, Unshored trenches

 Various Safety Equipment used on site
1. Eye and Face Protection
• Safety glasses or face shields are worn any time work operations can cause foreign objects
to get in the eye. For example, during welding, cutting, grinding, nailing (or when working
with concrete and/or harmful chemicals or when exposed to flying particles). Wear when
exposed to any electrical hazards, including working on energized electrical systems.
• Eye and face protectors – select based on anticipated hazards.
2. Foot Protection
• Construction workers should wear work shoes or boots with slip-resistant and puncture-
resistant soles.
• Safety-toed footwear is worn to prevent crushed toes when working around heavy
equipment or falling objects.
3. Hand Protection
• Gloves should fit tightly.
• Workers should wear the right gloves for the job (examples: heavy-duty rubber gloves for
concrete work; welding gloves for welding; insulated gloves and sleeves when exposed to
electrical hazards).
4. Head Protection
• Wear hard hats where there is a potential for objects falling from above, bumps to the head
from fixed objects, or of accidental head contact with electrical hazards.
• Hard hats – routinely inspect them for dents, cracks or deterioration; replace after a heavy
blow or electrical shock; maintain in good condition.

5. Hearing Protection
• Use earplugs/earmuffs in high noise work areas where chainsaws or heavy equipment are
used; clean or replace earplugs regularly.
 Work Study:
• It is important management tool to achieve higher productivity. It is primarily related to
human work, method of doing work & standard of performance.
• The survival of any organisation is depends on use of latest technology & efficient method
of production. The efficiency of production should be improve to produce better quality
product at reduced cost. It requires efficient use of resources.
• Work study or work analysis is the discipline of industrial engineering that uses various
techniques to quantitatively measure or estimate work to increase the amount produced
from a given quantity of resources by improving the use of existing resources.
• Definition
• Work study is defined as that body of knowledge concerned with the analysis of the work
methods and the equipment used in performing a job, the design of an optimum work
method and the standardization of proposed work methods.
• Work study is also understood as a systematic objective and critical examination of the
factors affecting productivity for the purpose of improvement. It make use of techniques

 ISO 9000:
• The ISO-9000 family of standards listed below has been developed to assist organizations,
of all types and sizes, to implement and operate effective quality management systems.
• ISO 9000 describes fundamentals of quality management systems and specifies the
terminology for quality management systems.
• ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization
needs to demonstrate its ability to provide products that fulfil customer and applicable
regulatory requirements and aims to enhance customer satisfaction.
• ISO 9004 provides guidelines that consider both the effectiveness and efficiency of the
quality management system. The aim of this standard is improvement of the performance
of the organization and satisfaction of customers and other interested parties.
• ISO 19011 provides guidance on auditing quality and environmental management
systems.
• Together they form a coherent set of quality management system standards facilitating
mutual understanding in national and international trade.
 Quality management principles
• To lead and operate an organization successfully, it is necessary to direct and control it in a
systematic and transparent manner. Success can result from implementing and maintaining
a management system that is designed to continually improve performance while
addressing the needs of all interested parties. Managing an organization encompasses
quality management amongst other management disciplines.

• Eight quality management principles have been identified that can be used by top
management in order to lead the organization towards improved performance.
a) Customer focus
• Organizations depend on their customers and therefore should understand current and
future customer needs, should meet customer requirements and strive to exceed customer
expectations.
b) Leadership
• Leaders establish unity of purpose and direction of the organization. They should create
and maintain the internal environment in which people can become fully involved in
achieving the organization's objectives.
c) Involvement of people
• People at all levels are the essence of an organization and their full involvement enables
their abilities to be used for the organization's benefit.
d) Process approach
• A desired result is achieved more efficiently when activities and related resources are
managed as a process.
e) System approach to management
• Identifying, understanding and managing interrelated processes as a system contributes to
the organization's effectiveness and efficiency in achieving its objectives.
f) Continual improvement
• Continual improvement of the organization's overall performance should be a permanent
objective of the organization.

g) Factual approach to decision making
• Effective decisions are based on the analysis of data and information.
h) Mutually beneficial supplier relationships
• An organization and its suppliers are interdependent and a mutually beneficial relationship
enhances the ability of both to create value.
• These eight quality management principles form the basis for the quality management
system standards within the ISO 9000 family.
 Scope
• This International Standard describes fundamentals of quality management systems,
which form the subject of the ISO 9000 family, and defines related terms.
• This International Standard is applicable to the following:
a) organizations seeking advantage through the implementation of a quality management
system;
b) organizations seeking confidence from their suppliers that their product requirements will
be satisfied;
c) users of the products;
d) those concerned with a mutual understanding of the terminology used in quality
management (e.g. suppliers, customers, regulators);
e) those internal or external to the organization who assess the quality management system or
audit it for conformity with the requirements of ISO 9001 (e.g. auditors, regulators,
certification/registration bodies);

f) those internal or external to the organization who give advice or training on the quality
management system appropriate to that organization;
g) developers of related standards.
