ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL
Most human activities carry special risk which could result in personal injury and property damage. It is an axiom of accident preventing that all accidents have causes whilst some are acts of fate; but great majority of them are preventable.
This manual sets out the responsibilities involved in implementing safety programmes on the worksite. It also presents records and procedures for identifying causes of accidents and reporting systems that are to be maintained on the projects with the understanding that accidents do not suddenly happen, they are caused by unsafe acts or condition.
