Figure 7.15 shows use of personnel protective equipment in an airport. In spite
of established theory, many formal establishments such as the construction industry
do not practice the use of PPE unless stringent enforcement is observed. Figure 7.16
shows a construction site wherein construction material has been haphazardly
dumped. Figure 7.17 shows railway track maintenance workers without PPEs.
The informal sector which is often livelihood option for poor is practiced without
engineering, administrative control besides absence of PPEs (Figs.7.18 and 7.19).
Organizations that are serious about safety would follow well-documented procedures. Tables 7.3 and 7.4 show examples of Operational Control Procedure (OCP).
