Scene Title: The Missed Shift in Risk
[Opening – Shop Floor]
Visual: Liza and John at a workstation.
Liza:
“John, remember that rooftop accident a couple of years ago? I read the report
—it’s still hard to believe how it unfolded.”
John:
“Yes I remember, What happened wasn’t just a mistake—it was a case of
misjudged risk. Let me tell you.”
[Narration – Timeline: 18th Oct – Initial Setup]
Voiceover:
John - “A contractor was assigned to replace damaged roof sheets at a height
of 24 meters. The job was of 90 days and the entire roof top was to be
changed. All control measure were in place to ensure safe work. The job was
under control.”
“Mr. Ajay, the performing authority, and Mr. Naresh, the area owner, both
visited the site every day to assess the risk. Everything looked safe on each
day.”
[Visuals: Documents signed, checklist ticked, drone view of the roof]
Voiceover:
John - But one day the working condition changed due to loose material keep
below the opening from where the lifting was done. This made impossible for
lifting crew to lift the material so they created new opening without approval.

Scene Title: One Assumption Too Many
[Narration – Timeline: 27th Oct – 11:00 AM]
Voiceover:
John - Like every day permit was raised for the roof sheeting job.
John - Mr. Ajay and Naresh while approving the permit they saw job was same,
by the same team, and the same work, so they treated it with the same low-
risk mindset inspite there was a change in working condition.
“That decision—made without visiting the modified site—ignored a key
principle: actual working conditions may change anytime.”
[Scene: Rooftop – Sam and Rohan near a makeshift opening]
Rohan:
“This new spot should work, right?”
Sam:
“Let’s be quick—we’ll finish before lunch.”
[Timeline: 12:15 PM – The Fall]
Voiceover:
“Sam stepped on a loose sheet which was kept on the new opening. It gave
way. He fell over 7.5 meters.”
[Scene: Emergency response, sirens faintly in background]
Voiceover:
John - “Despite efforts, Sam was declared dead.”

There is no peer responses to assess.
1. What critical mistake was made by the crew when the original lifting spot became inaccessible?
2. Why did Mr. Ajay and Mr. Naresh approve the permit without reassessing the site on the day of the accident?
3. What led to Sam’s fatal fall from the rooftop?
4. What concept does the case study highlight as a major cause of safety failure in routine jobs?
5. What is the key lesson from this case regarding risk assessment on repeated jobs?
Risk is always low if the same crew is working
Familiar jobs require less supervision
Actual conditions must be reassessed everytime, even for routine tasks because actual conditions may change due to factors like environment, interaction with other works, skill of the working crew,change in conditions of tools and tackles etc.
Once assessed, job sites remain safe
