 Accident/Incident/Illness Investigation & Reporting
We consider accident/incident/illness investigation and reporting as our responsibility.
Absenteeism can greatly affect our schedule. Looking for replacement can be costly for the
company, the hiring effort, training of new workers, the loss of job momentum affect our
productivity. We involved our supervisors in this program because they are more familiar with
the people involved, they have better understanding of the operation, and they have personal
interest in the investigation since it’s their people who are involved. For this reason, Two Aces
Construction And Supply is committed to include this responsibility to all supervisors and made
them aware about it.
 Persons responsible for conducting investigation
In this project the following persons will be assigned to conduct accident/incident
Investigation:
All Accidents All Incidents/Near Miss Illnesses

 Conducting and documenting the accident/illness investigation

In conducting the accident/illness investigation, we gather facts, analyze them and make the
necessary recommendation.

 In case of any dangerous occurrence or major accidents resulting to death or
permanent total disability using the form (DOLE/BWC/OHSD/IP-6).Notification of
major accidents to DOLE Regional Office concerned within 24 hours.

 Cleaning and Proper Maintenance of PPE’s

It is important that all PPE be kept clean properly maintained. Cleaning is particularly important
for eye and face protection where dirty or fogged lenses could impair vision. Our workers or
employees inspect, clean and maintain their PPE according to the manufactures’ instructions
before and after each use. Our supervisors are responsible for ensuring that users properly
maintain their PPEs in good condition.

We enforce our rule that PPE’s must not be shared between workers or employees until has been
properly cleaned and sanitized. PPE are disturbed for individual use whenever possible.

If workers or employees provide their own PPE’s, we make that it is adequate for the work place
hazards, and it is maintained in a clean and stored in a conducive condition.

We never allow the use of defective or damaged PPE’s. We immediately discard and replace
them to avoid any unintentional use.

We also consider the importance of ensuring that any contaminated PPE which cannot be
decontaminated is disposed of in manner that protects workers or employees from exposure to
hazard.

Protection of the General Public

We comply with Rule 1412.09 of the DOLE OSH standard in providing a safe covered walkway
over the sidewalk for use pedestrian in a building construction work less than 2.3 meter (7 ft.)
from a side walk or public road.

We comply with Rule 1412.10 of the OSH Standard, Protection from falling Materials. We
observe the following:

 We will take the steps to protect worker from falling materials, such as the provisions of
safety helmets and safety shoes.

 We will ensure that tools, objects and materials including waste materials will not be
thrown or tipped from a height, but will be properly lowered by hoist or cultures. If such
is not practicable, the area where the material is thrown will be fenced and no person will
be allowed in the fenced area.
