Abstract

The study was conducted at the Health & Safety department of Lafarge Cement services Philippines Inc. The company is working towards zero KPI's in terms of Health & Safety. A total of 140 incidents (lost time injuries and fatalities) were recorded for the philippine BU from 1998 to 2010. For 2010, the business unit recorded 2 fatalities and 3 lost time injuries. It has been identified that 64.29% of the incidents were caused by operations involving energy isolation, and work at height. Causal events were identified with the use of Fault Tree Analysis, accompanied by a why-why analysis to identify the root causes. Alternative solutions involve proposing a new system for safety training programs, hiring a Plant Safety Officer; proposing an Employee Safety Feedback Systems; assigning a safe keeper to monitor the duplicate keys; and standardizing all safety signs to comply with OSHA Standards and translating signs in Filipino for worker comprehension. Factor-rating method was used to evaluate the alternatives. recommendations for the company include a new system for safety programs; hiring a Plant Safety Officer; installing an Employee Safety Feedback System; assigning a safe keeper to monitor the duplicate keys; standardizing all safety to comply with OSHA Standards and translating signs in Filipino for worker comprehension.
