Abstract

It is a fitting recognition of Kochi’s growing importance on the urban map of India that the Union Government have sanctioned the Kochi Metro Rail Project to Kerala in July 2012. Kochi is the first tier-2 city in the country to be granted a metro under the Union Government’s scheme; whereby the Government of India and the State Government are equal equity partners in KMRL. In the construction of metro rail the risk involved is very high because the work was going on near the railway line and adjacent to the national highway. The individual risk along with the societal risk is also very high. The need of the proper risk assessment is to find out the hazards which has a potential to cause risk. Then it is calculated to find out the probability of occurrence of the hazards. In the risk matrix 1 4x4 matrix was chosen based on hazard scenario. The objective was to find out the probability and severity of this hazard and here the exposure was taken to be maximum. The exposure is always added to the severity and then multiplied to the probability of occurrence. The workers are directly exposed to hazards at the sites and the vulnerability of hazard is also maximum so it is a key step by taking exposure rate is maximum for a work site. In kochi metro rail project site the hazards were working near to the high traction line, working adjacent to the public area, working near to the national highway. By considering all the hazards the probability was found out by considering various factors and risk is also calculated. The main purpose of the risk analysis is to reduce the risk and increase the profitability by balancing the conflating objects.
