 QUALITY TOOLS

 Collecting data

 Analyzing

 Identify root causes

 Measure the results

 CAUSE & EFFECT DIAGRAM

 use to identify the potential causes of

a specific event, known as 'the effect
BENEFIT
 Help potential cause identify

 Fosters team work

FLOW CHARTS

A flowchart is a picture of the separate steps

of a process in sequential order
BENEFIT
 Identify process to improvement

 Understand the process

 Show duplicated effort and other non-

value added steps
CHECK SHEET

A check sheet is a structured, prepared form for

collecting and analyzing data
BENEFIT
 Collect data in a systematic and organized manner

 To determine source of problem

HISTOGRAM

A histogram is a graphical representation of

data points organized into user-specified
ranges.
NOTE
use at lest 30 values & preferably around 100
PARETO CHARTS

The Pareto chart is a quality

improvement tool that is based upon
the Pareto principle, the principle that
80% of an outcome comes from 20%
of its inputs
USE PARETO
 Prioritizing problems

 Analyzing symptoms

 Providing effectiveness of remedy

CONTROL CHARTS

A quality control chart is a graphical representation of whether a

firm's products or processes are meeting their intended
specifications

BENEFIT
 Predict process out of control and out of specification limits

 Distinguish between specific ,identifiable causes of variation

SCATTER DIAGRAM

scatter diagram graphs pairs of numerical data, with

one variable on each axis, to look for a relationship
between them. If the variables are correlated ..
BENEFIT
 A scatter plot identifies a possible relationship
between changes observed in two different sets
of variables. It provides a visual and statistical
means to test the strength of a relationship
between two variables.
 Methods of quality control
In construction, quality control (QC) is the part of quality
•

management that ensures products and services comply
with requirements

• It is a work method that facilitates the measurement of

the quality characteristics of a unit.

• In QC, the finished products are compared with the

established standards, and the differences between the
product and the desired products are analysed.
Inspection
Why inspection of a construction site is important?
•
To make sure that all materials and procedures comply with
the plan and specifications

• Keeping and maintaining inspection checklists and records in a

complete, accurate, and orderly manner

• Monitoring the contractor’s schedule

• Review and completion of change order/s

• Handover inspection for smooth project close-out

Steps for a proper construction site inspection.

•
Create an Inspection Strategy

• Before conducting a safety inspection, it's imperative to plan

for it

• Conduct the Safety Inspection

• Review the Data

• Implement Corrective Actions

• Follow Up on Your Findings

Analysis of samples
Why analysis of samples is important?
•
It can reveal any issues related to construction quality 

• It is also a regulatory requirement for most large-scale

engineering projects.

• It can help classify a building site, highlight future risks, and

assist with engineering decisions.

• Without proper analysis sengineers and builders cannot

determine if the quality of their projects meets specific
requirements. 
Steps for proper analysis for a metro construction site
•
Soil Investigation

• Plate load test

• Soil analysis (Sampling)

• Proctor test 

• Compression test of concrete

• Mechanical and chemical test 

• Water penetration and absorption test

WHAT IS SAFETY MANAGEMENT IN
CONSTRUCTION

1. CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY SITES ARE ONE OF THE MOST HAZARDOUS WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENTS TO WORK IN
WITH REGARD TO HEALTH AND SAFETY OF EMPLOYEES. THERE IS HIGH RISK IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESSES, LABOUR INTENSIVE CHARACTERISTICS AND OCCUPATIONAL
MISHAPS THAT RESULT IN LARGE SCALE FINANCIAL LOSSES AND BAD REPUTATION OF THE FIRM.
2. CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFETY IS A VERY IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY THAT IS
OFTEN NEGLECTED ON PROJECT SITES.
3. WITHOUT PROPER SAFETY REGULATIONS EMPLOYEES ARE PRONE TO MINOR AND MAJOR ACCIDENTS ON A
REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE OF THE DANGEROUS AND DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY
 WHAT MUST A TOP SAFETY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM DO

Essentially, a safety management system for construction is a systematic

way of identifying hazards and managing risks relating to the construction
workplace. The SMS must include the construction company’s policies,
procedures, systems Organizational deployment, and accountabilities for
making sure that the necessary precautions have been taken and are being
maintained for the safety of all concerned.More than this, the SMS must
be embedded in the culture of the company, so that it is applied by all.
A PROPERLY PERFORMING SMS WILL
TYPICALLY INCLUDE :

IDENTIFICATION OF ALL SAFETY HAZARDS RELATING TO THE COMPANY’S

ACTIVITIES AND ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH EACH HAZARD.

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES TO KEEP RISK FROM HAZARDS DOWN TO

ACCEPTABLE LEVELS(WHICH MAY IN SOME CASES MEAN A LEVEL OF ZERO).

CONTINUAL MONITORING WITH REGULAR EVALUATION OF SAFETY

PERFORMANCE.

CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SAFETY

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
SAFETY PROMOTION

 Training and safety education are vital to each level

of the organization. Personal and group responsibility
for safety, as well as compliance with the established
SMS criteria, include working safely, reporting
hazards, open communication and continuous
improvement.
What is Safety Management System?

• Safety Management Systems (SMSs) for

product/service providers (certificate
holders) and regulators will integrate
modern safety risk management and
safety assurance concepts into
repeatable, proactive systems.
Fundamentals of Safety Management
• Concept of Safety
• Evolution of Safe Thinking
• Accident Causation
• Organizational Accident
• People, context & Safety
• Errors & Violations
• Organizational Culture
• Safety Investigation
What are the Safety measure we need to keep in check ?

• Fire Hazard • Structure failure

• De rail prevention • Collision Prevention

 How can we ensure Metro safety?
• Demonstrate safety management activities up to end of
design phase.
• Past accidents and accidents which may occur to be
taken into consideration.
• Simulation via app/software as a vehicle is being design.
• To be prepare in advance to avoid accidents and if
occurs, then to minimize the casualties.
• Regular inspection of the tracks, vehicles and the
structure.
Building Blocks of Safety Management
• Senior Management’s commitment to the

management of safety.

• Effective safety reporting

• Continous monitoring

• Investigation of safety occurences

• Sharing safety lessons learned and best

practices

• Continuous Improvement of the overall

level of safety

• Intergration of safety training for

operational personnel
 Need of Safety Management

• Minor-Major Accident • Economics of Safety

 Major Accident are rare
 Accidents cost money
 Incident occurs more
 Insurance can help
frequently

 Ignoring the major could lead but not all

to an increase number of more  There are many
serious accidents
uninsured cost
