stored in specific locations on site. The Contractor will notify Company of these locations and
requirements on submission of the COSHH assessment/MSDS.

asbestos and specific RAMS will be developed for the controlled removal of the materials
using an approved contractor.
3.1.36. If asbestos, or suspected asbestos, is encountered during normal working on site wok shall
be stopped and the Contractor informed so that the material can be tested and provisions
made for its removal under the Contractors Asbestos Management Plan.

means of lifting/moving loads where practicable, and by employing safe handling methods
based on RAMS etc. Suitable gloves shall be provided to mitigate the risk of hand injuries.
3.1.38. When lifting objects, personnel shall follow safe manual handling procedures as outlined in
their CCNSG safety passport training.

3.1.44. For the purposes of this project Noise at Work will be defined as the 2 action levels
referenced in the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005:
ii) Upper Action Level - Daily personal noise exposure level of 85dB(A) It is envisaged
that two distinct areas exist where personnel may be exposed to noise whilst
working on the project:
b) Noise produced by others e.g. adjacent process areas. The Contractor will
review noise levels throughout the project to identify where hearing
protection must be worn, however as a general guide, hearing protection
may be necessary when you have to raise your voice to speak to someone
who is 2m or less away.
