The general safety measures taken during civil engineering construction.

The following safety measures are taken during civil engineering construction. (i) Suitable scaffolds should be provided for workmen. (ii) When ladder are used, it should be provided with foot holds and hand holds and inclination of one is to four (1 horizontal : 4 vertical) be provided. (iii) The scaffolding should be properly supported and shall have a guard rail property attached to it. (iv) Every opening in floor of a building should be provided with suitable means to prevent the fall of persons or materials. (v) Fencing and lights shall be provided to protect the public from accident. (vi) The excavated material shall not be placed within 1.5m of the edge of the trench or half the depth whichever is more to avoid collapse of sides due to surcharge. (vii) No undermining or undercutting shall be allowed. (viii) All roads and open areas adjacent to any side where demolition is to be carried out, must be closed or suitably protected. (ix) No electrical cable etc. shall remain electric...

Responsibilities of a Training Director.

 Question : Put yourself in the position of a training director., who must justify his work to top management. How would you go about projecting that you are asset to the firm? (Summer 2005)




Executive talent is the most important asset which a company can possess. This talent depends upon the training process or training director of the organisation.

If I am the training director of an organization. I will like to adopt methods used for executive development programs. As some of these methods are meant for newly recruited executives, and their aim is to generate in trainers a deeper understanding of managerial functions. Some other aim at increasing the problem solving skills of the managers. Still others aim at a changing their attitudes. These methods are:

1. Observation Assignment : Under this method new recruited executive called 'understudy' is made an assistant.

2. Position Rotation : Under this method, the trainee executive is rotated among different managerial jobs. This not only broadens and enriches his experience as a manager but also enables him to understand interdepartmental relations and the need for coordination and cooperation among various departments. 

3. Serving as Committee : Another important method of training an executive is to make him serve on a committee. while serving on a committee, the executive comes to learn not only the various organisational problems and views of several senior and experienced members but also learns how a manager should adjust himself to the overall needs of the enterprise. 

4. Assignment of Special Projects : Sometimes, as a method of training some special project is assigned to a trainee executive. For example, he may be asked to develop a system of cost allocation in the production of certain goods for which an order has been received by the company. While working on such projects, the trainee not only acquires knowledge about them but also learns how to work with and relate to other people holding different views.

5. Conferences and seminars : Often an executive is deputed to attend a conference, seminar or workshop to receive a quick orientation in various areas of management with which he might be unfamiliar. 

By adopting above methods I shall train the trainee in such a manner that he finds himself in the best position during his tenure as a manager of any organisation. And I can justify my stand to the bosses.

Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Fibre reinforced concrete is a composite material essentially consisting of conventional concrete or mortar reinforced by random dispersal of short, discontinuous and discrete fine fibres of 25-50mm long and 0.25 to 0.50 mm in diameter, consisting of 4 to 5% weight and of specific geometry. The fibres interlock and entangle around aggregate particles and considerably reduce the normal workability while mix becomes more cohesive and less prone to segregation. The fibres suitable for reinforcing the concrete have been produced froom steel, glass and organic polymers. Naturally occuring asbestos and vegetable fibres, such as jute are also used for reinforcement. Steel, carbon and glass have higher elastic moduli than cement mortar matrix and polypropylene and vegetable fibres are low modulus fibres. High modulus fibres improve both flexural and impact resistance simultaneously whereas low modulus fibre improve impact resistance of concrete but do not contribute much to flexural strength. ...

Delegation is neither decentralization nor are their purpose the same.

Delegation is a process, while decentralisation is the end result of delegation and dispersal of authority. Delegation mainly refers to the granting of authority and the creation of responsibility as between the individual and superiors whereas decentralisation is the situation which exists as a result of the systematic delegation of authority throughout the organisation. In delegation, a superior continues to be responsible for the work delegated to his subordinates, while in decentralisation the superior is relieved from his responsibility for the work decentralised and the subordinate become liable for that. Delegation is vital and essential to the management process. Only through delegation, subordinates can be involved in the organisation and the management can get things done. Decentralized is optional, in the sense that it may or may not be practised as a systematic policy.

Funds, Working Capital, Net Working Capital & Income

  Funds are defined as total resources. Industrial enterprises has land, buildings, machinery, tools etc. This type of assets are called fixed capital. An enterprise needs funds to cover its cost of operating. Moreover there is a need of money to carry the enterprise during the time lag between the sale of its products and the payment for them. Funds are needed to cover these costs is commonly called as working capital. Net working capital is simply the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Income from business is found by deducting the outgoings from gross incomings.
