Adequate attention to industrial safety, including fire safety and housekeep­ing, is a must during the construction of an NPP. Any deficiency in these areas will not only be detrimental to the health and safety of the construc­tion workers but will also dilute the safety culture at the site, which will have an adverse impact on the commissioning and O&M activities subse­quently. Responsibility for industrial safety should be with utility personnel even though actual construction work is done by contractors. All jobs must be subjected to hazard analysis and appropriate procedures and personnel protective equipment requirements laid down for their execution. As the status of work keeps changing rapidly at a construction site, the supervisors responsible for industrial safety must make frequent visits to the site for an on-the-spot assessment and enforcement of safety requirements, including their augmentation where necessary.
