Before connecting a regulator, stand to one side, and momentarily open the
5 valve and then close it immediately. This procedure, called “cracking” the
valve, is done to clear the valve of dust or dirt that could enter the regulator.
Open valves slowly by hand to avoid gauge damage. If a specific tool is

stopped quickly in an emergency.
7 Lift and move cylinders properly
Close the gas cylinder valves when not in use such as during breaks, lunch,
8
or end-of-shift to avoid leaks.
Avoid getting any oil or grease on the cylinders or regulators/gauges,

Procedure
S.No Task Responsibility
Method Statements
Piling operations can give rise to different hazards dependent
upon the type of piling being undertaken. Certain hazards are,
however, generally common on al types of piling and the
following gives the risks and associated controls relevant to site
preparation, the general precautions and the various types of
piling methods in use. The main types of piling covered are
a. Driven Piling
b. EHSet Piling All user
1.
c. Rotary Bored Piling /supervisor
d. Tripod Piling

In all cases, and before any piling operations commence a full


method statement and risk assessment must be prepared by
the piling contractor or persons carrying out the operations. This
method statement must be thoroughly vetted by management
before any works are started.
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT
Site Preparations: When carrying out all types of piling, with
the exception of tripod piling, the initial site preparations are of
utmost importance. The main reasons for this are that in all
cases heavy plant and machinery will be used, and often the
exact conditions of the land and its contents are unknown. Site

All user
2.
Driven Piling: This operation includes the driving of pre-cast, /supervisor
driven cast in-situ timber or steel EHSet piles. In all situations
associated with driven piling the activities will generate a
considerable amount of noise, which must be considered when
the general risk assessment process is being undertaken. If
such noise outputs are likely to cause environmental problems
then consideration must be given to the use of alternative
methods at the design stage.
Tripod Piling: Tripod piling is more labour intensive than other
types of piling operations, conditions under foot can become
very difficult due to spoil, water and slurry.

EHS OPERATIONAL MANUAL Doc. No. EHSOM-10


Sheet No. 21 of 115

GENERAL PRECAUTION
Prior to commencement on site the piling contractor needs
to have information relating to the condition of the land. All
surveys and examinations must be carried out by
competent persons and any information relating to
previous land uses must be obtained and made available.
The position and location of underground services, voids
and watercourses should be establiEHSd prior to work
commencing. Confirmation of such whereabouts should be
by reference to all relevant information as provided by the
Client/ Planning Supervisor or from information received
from statutory authorities.

All overhead services must be clearly marked, by


appropriate barriers; goal posts etc. (see Overhead
Services). Work must not commence until a safe system of
working has been prepared and agreed.

The presence of watercourses and expected run off routes


needs to be identified. This aspect is of particular
importance where contaminated land conditions are
present. The appropriate authorization and/or notification
must be obtained prior to any discharge taking place (see
Contaminated Sites and Environment).

Adequate space must be provided for the contractors


operations and for safe storage of materials. In particular
the movement of service cranes should be considered
when determining the layout for piling operations.

The most common cause of piling rig collapse is poor


ground conditions. Ensure a firm piling mat has been
provided, and that all ground conditions have been taken
into consideration at initial assessment stage.

Rigging and de-rigging may only be carried out under the


supervision of a competent person who has been
nominated by the piling contractor.

The correct safe procedure is set out in the manufacturers


or operators hand book for the rigging and de-rigging
operations.

All other persons should stand clear whilst the operation is


taking place.
Safety harnesses should be used when working at height.
In addition all personnel involved in piling operations must
wear the appropriate protective equipment and clothing i.e.
safety helmets, and boots, eye and ear protection and
gloves.

must be taken into account when preparing the
assessment.

Any control measures including hearing protection


identified as being necessary by the assessment should
be put into operation prior to commencing operations.

Driven Piles:

When splitting boundless of EHSet piles, chocks should be


used and purpose made straps and grips should be
employed for handling purposes.

Piles should not be stacked in a way that makes them


unstable or unsafe. Tubular piles should never be stacked
more then four high and should be chocked at all times.

Hand or “tag” lines should be used at all times to control


loads during lifting operations.

When pitching piles, remote release shackles should be


used, taking care that the pin is properly engaged through
the EHSet before being lifted into the vertical position.

If piles are too heavy for a remote release shackle and


work cannot safely be carried out from a ladder, a lifting
cage should be provided to gain access for unscrewing the
shackle.
Long EHSet piles should be pitched with a pile threaded.
When this is not possible, a pile pitcher cage should be
used, suspended from an adjacent pile, with operatives
wearing safety harnesses anchored to the adjacent pile
prior to removal of the crane hook from the cage.

Site preparation
To check suitable unobstructed safe access for delivery
vehicles, cranes and other plant. The position of
overhead services, particularly live electric cables should
2. be checked as should the positions of any buried All user/supervisor
services which may be vulnerable to damage by traffic.
Movements around the site should be planned with the
provision of designated access ways.
Ground Preparation and bases
To check sound foundation for each column. It should be
capable of accepting both a vertical load and also the
additional horizontal thrust which is developed as soon
as temporary props are removed.

Pre-cast frame columns are usually inserted into sockets


cast into the foundation blocks and consequently are
required to be held temporarily in place after alignment.
Wedges and props are used for this purpose until the
column has been made secure by grouting.

Other types of pre-case columns incorporate a steel


base plate similar to those found on a prefabricated steel
column.

The bolts should be loosened off immediately after


compaction of the concrete by rotating them in their
sleeves. Errors in position, alignment and level can lead
to improvisation by erectors. Holding down bolts are
designed only for loads experienced by the completed
structure, it is at this phase that excess loads, if applied
to them, will give rise to the danger of collapse, unless
adequate temporary bracing is provided in the form of
props or guys.

EHS OPERATIONAL MANUAL Doc. No. EHSOM-11


Sheet No. 28 of 115
TITLE: SAFE PROCEDURE FOR SRRUCTURAL
STEEL ERECTION

Tripods and anchorage points for guy ropes should


be suitably protected from vehicle traffic and locked
off where there is potential risk of vandalism.

Adequate supplies of steel plate packing pieces


should be provided for use on leveling prior to
grouping. Once the frame is erected, lined and
leveled it is essential that holding down bolts are
maintained tight

Erection of a Steel Frame


To check the safe erection of a structure is the
“braced bay”. To achieve this braced bay, requires 4
4. columns or stanchions, which are connected by 4
pieces of fabricated steel, tied and stabilized by
either temporary or permanent bracing.

The crane is often required to hold unstable units


until connections are made and stability achieved.
Pre – cast Concrete and Concrete Frame Erection
Accuracy and efficiency in erection depends on
correct preparation of the bases, which may be
5. sockets or pockets into which the columns are set, or
“bolt down” arrangements using a steel base plate
fixed to the concrete unit.

Once the columns are erected and leveled in the


joining truss or beam may be placed in position and
the connections made. Grouting and pointing of the
joints should be carried out as work proceeds.

The greatest risk faced by persons placing concrete


floor units is that of falls. In common with the
accepted practice in roofing, edge protection must
be fixed prior to the placing of any floor unit. It is
acceptable to leave unprotected the “leading edge”
however, when work is suspended or left unattended
a barrier should be placed at the leading edge
unless all access to that floor is removed.
An alternative method of fall protection which can be
utilized is the provision of harnesses and running
lines.

TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL LIFTING/
HANDLING

Manual Handling

To prevent injuries,

 Proper posture

 Correct lifting techniques

 Regular exercise

Followings are typical classification of Manual handling:

 Lifting / lowering,

 Pushing / pulling,

 Carrying,

 Throwing / dropping / catching an object by the direct application of bodily


force.

There are four significant points in a proper lift:

Grip: A good grip makes maximum use of the palm of the hand, the ball of the
thumb, and base of the fingers.

Back: The back must be kept straight to maintain its most natural and strongest
position. This means that the knees and ankles must be bent and the chin kept well
into the chest. The body must be positioned as close to the load as possible so as
to act as a counterweight.

Feet: The feet should be apart the width of the hips with one foot slightly in front of
the other so that a natural lead off is obtained.

Arms: The arms must be kept as close as possible to the body


Sheet No. 35 of 115

EHS OPERATIONAL MANUAL Doc. No. EHSOM-15


TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL LIFTING/
HANDLING

Proper Lifting

1. Plan your move.

 Size up the load and make sure pathway is clear.

 Get help as needed.

 Use a dolly or other device if necessary.

2. Use a wide-balanced stance with one foot slightly ahead of the other.

3. Get as close to the load as possible.

4. Tighten your stomach muscles as the lift begins.

When lifting, keep your lower back in its normal arched position and use your
legs to lift.

Pick up your feet and pivot to turn – don't twist your back.

5. Lower the load slowly, maintaining the curve in your lower back.

Your back can manage most lifts – if you lift correctly.

Avoid lifting above shoulder height. This causes the back to arch, placing heavy stress on
the small joints of the spine.

Do not catch falling objects. Your muscles may not have time to coordinate properly to
protect the spine.

33.3 Noise and vibration Monitoring & Management Plans:

Administrative noise control measures

Where it is not practicable to comply with the exposure standard for noise solely
through other control measures, administration control measures are used. These
measures reduce the noise to which a person is exposed by means of work
arrangement, including

 Organizing schedules so that noisy work is done when, as few people as


possible are present.
 Notifying people in advance when noisy work is to be carried out, so they can
limit their exposure to it.
 Keeping people out of noisy area, if their job does not require them to be there.
 Sign posting noisy areas
 Periodic rotation of persons working in excessive noisy area shall be carried out.

Personal hearing protectors

Personal hearing protectors shall be used only as an interim measure while control
of excessive noise is being achieved by engineering control measures. The removal
of personal hearing protectors for even short periods of time can significantly reduce
their effectiveness and result in inadequate protection. Due to the difficulties of
wearing personal hearing protectors for long periods of time in certain environments,
regular brief periods in quiet areas, without personal hearing protectors, should be
allowed.

Hearing Protection Areas

Areas where people may be exposed to excessive noise should be sign-posted, as


‘hearing protection areas’ and their boundaries should be clearly defined. No person,
including visitors, managers and supervisors, should enter a hearing protection area
during normal operation, unless wearing appropriate personal hearing protectors.

EHS OPERATIONAL MANUAL Doc. No. EHSOM-33


Sheet No. 75 of 115
TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

This is regardless of how long the person spends in the hearing protection area.

Where sign posting is not practicable, attach prominent warning notices to tools and
equipment indicating that personal hearing protectors must be worn when operating
them. The different types of hearing protectors available are earmuffs, earplugs,
canal caps etc.
Identify the probable noise generating equipments, machines and operations.
