3. Personnel shall ensure that all cuts are treated immediately by a trained first aider. 

4. Personnel shall seek medical assistance immediately if cuts, etc. Become infected. 

Faulure of Lifting, Equipment 1. Caused by lack of maintenance, equipment being abused and by incorrect use of equipment. 1. Color coding and test certificates of equipment shall be checked to ensure they are in date.

2. All equipment shall visually inspected prior to use ensure it is free from any defect/damage.

다양한 위험요소를 갖고 있는 배관 설치 작업은 플랜트 공사의 Main 작업입니다.

다양한 사이즈의 구경, 길이, 재료 등에 따라서 작업 방법이 달리하고 있습니다.

General 한 사항들을 기준으로 일반적인 JSA 내용이지만, 추가 사항에 대하여 다른 부분의 JSA 도 활용하셔야 좀 더 세부적인 위험성평가 자료를 준비하실 수 있습니다.

감사합니다.
