4
Misuse.

STORAGE
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
6 required to open the valve, leave it in position so that the flow of gas can be
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,
9
particularly those containing oxygen, to avoid fire or explosion.
Storage is not required for single cylinders of fuel gas and oxygen ready for
10
use with regulators attached secured to a proper cart.

Purpose To establish a procedure for Safety Requirements for Piling

Scope Applicable to all Piling work at site
Cross reference

Procedure
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.

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.

Sheet No. 22 of 115
Upon arrival at site, the machine must be inspected before

use, by a competent person. All certification must be
updated in 4 months. Results of inspections must be
recorded.

Ready mixed concrete trucks when fully loaded are top

heavy with heavily loaded rear wheels, a banks man
should be present when reversing the vehicle and wheel
stops should also be provided to prevent the vehicle from
getting too close to the edge of excavations, piles or
concrete pumps. Extra care must be taken when trucks
have to go across gradients.
Reinforcement and cages should be unloaded onto

supports to allow for re-slinging.
All rotating parts of machinery should be suitably guarded

or fenced.
A full noise assessment must be carried out and must form

part of the method statement and risk assessment. The
effects on all persons on site, and the local environment
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.

Sheet No. 24 of 115
Piling hammers and in particular all clamping bolts

should be inspected daily.
Guide ropes must be used when positioning the

and checked for damage, with unserviceable
equipment being withdrawn immediately.
The load on the hook must always be lifted vertically.
Rigs should be placed on leveled and firmed ground.
Crane mounted rigs should not be marched in loose

soil/ marshy area. The areas should be inspected,
filled with earth if required.
Rotary bored Piles
An area should be segregated for the dumping of
spoil from the auger. It should be out of the way with
no general access to others on site. When the spoil is
shaken off the auger, the driver is to ensure no
persons are in the vicinity.
A banksman should remain with the rig during the

piling operation.
The pile bore should always be protected to prevent

persons from falling in, barriers, casings or cover
should be used.
Ropes are subject to heavy wear, they must be

inspected frequently and changed as necessary.
Hearing protection should be worn where the noise

assessment indicates.
All control levers on piling rigs should be marked to
indicate their purpose and mode of operation.

Method Statements
To Check work commences on site, the outline
information provided at pre-contract stage should be
1. developed into a method statement. Erection operations All user/supervisor
must not commence until the method statement has
been approved by site management.
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.

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.

 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

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.

29.1 Site clearing Management Plans:
 Prior starting of construction activities, detailed plans and layout of the

different sites (construction site, construction village, access roads, temporary
or permanent disposal sites…) shall be produced;
Preservation:
 Avoid unnecessary removal of vegetation; areas to be left intact must be
clearly demarcated;
 Large trees shall be preserved as far as possible; they are to be adequately
marked and protected (fenced);
 Prior to vegetation clearing, any rare or endangered plant species which have
been previously identified must be removed and transplanted to demarcated
zones;
 Where necessary, a rescue and relocation programme for animal species
shall be implemented;
 It is considered to be best practice that corridors or tracts of vegetation will be
left intact to form connections to larger areas of un-cleared vegetation and
allow dispersal of fauna during clearing activities;
 If the construction site is close to sensitive ecological areas, it is
recommended that buffer zones should be established to ensure survival of
fauna and flora species; “No-go” areas shall be clearly marked on a site
layout plan and demarcated through fencing or other measure;
Clearing methods
 Burning shall not be used in all sites.
 It is recommended that use of chemical clearing methods shall be prohibited
in the vicinity of no go areas.
 have negligible adverse human health effect be shown to be effective against
the target species
Sheet No. 60 of 115

MANAGEMENT PLAN
 Have minimal effect on non target species and the natural environment be
used in a way to prevent development of resistance in pests.
Topsoil management
 Store topsoil1 removed from the site;
 If different categories of topsoil exist, they shall be stored separately; topsoil
stockpiles height must be limited 2 in order to minimize composting; storage
shall be located so as to ensure good conservation and minimize damage
linked to moisture retention, dust or erosion;
Erosion management
 Sensitive erosion areas should be identified, and location of works minimized
in these areas;
 Where possible, and depending on local conditions, it is recommended that
works in sensitive erosion areas to be restricted to the dry season ;
 Stabilize slopes that are disturbed during construction to prevent erosion
through runoff;
 Traffic and movement over stabilized areas shall be controlled.
Demolition
- In case of a brown field site, liabilities shall be addressed in the contractual
documentation;
-Demolition waste shall be adequately sorted and disposed of to minimize their
volume (potential reuse) and contamination by hazardous waste.
Sheet No. 61 of 115

MANAGEMENT PLAN
29.2. Site landscaping / reinstatement Management Plans:
Maximize use of uncontaminated construction spoil and rubble in landscaping to

reduce amount of construction waste;
Revegetation
 Topsoil and vegetation removed during construction to be used wherever
possible in site landscaping;
 Revegetation of disturbed areas not occupied by the infrastructure to take
place as soon as possible;
 Use of indigenous vegetation native to the general area;
 Revegetated areas should be monitored on a regular basis during and after
construction and those showing inadequate surface coverage (objectives to
be determined depending on local conditions) should be revegetated until
satisfactory coverage of the area;
 Revegetated areas and areas subject to erosion should be monitored and
maintained during project operation;
 Where necessary depending on works schedule and sensitivity to erosion,
interim reinstatement should be implemented;
Landscaping
 It is recommended that landscaping and revegetation be carried out to match
the natural topography and enhance natural views;
 Where water is scarce, design landscape to limit irrigation needs and absorb
rainwater run off;

and local ecosystems/ Ensure air emissions by construction equipment are
compliant with local and international standards through adequate maintenance and
servicing
Control of Dust & Air Emissions:
 Air Emissions shall be controlled by using proper Equipments and machines.

Equipments maintenance should be carried out at regular intervals.
 Every day morning before the Site operation starts, water spraying should be
done to the entire site.
 Proper Spray system should be used so that water can be utilized in effective
way without wastage.
 Care should be taken so that sprinkler is not placed in the top of the Cement
bags.
 Every two hours this cycle should be continued so that dust can be under
control.
 If possible landscaping should be carried out with minimum cost, since grass
can prevent dust. This can be practiced looking into the soil conditions of site.
 Sprinkle water on top of the Metal/Coarse aggregate which will also help in
settling the dust while transferring metal for concreting / batching plant /
crusher.
 The approach road to the site can also be watered using sprinkler system to
reduce the dust.
 Dust Absorber / bags / collectors can be placed near the Batching plant or
near by the concrete mixer to reduce the dust.
 The top of the Fine aggregate / sand can be sprinkled with water in a mild
way to bring down the dust under control.
Sheet No. 72 of 115

MANAGEMENT PLAN
 While transferring the fine aggregate /sand/metal in dumpers make it sure

that it is covered with tarpoline in order to control the dust.
 The point where the cement is transferred to batching plant or mixer shall be
covered with Gunny bags or plastic sheet in order to prevent the
accumulation of cement dust particles.
 While sprinkling the water the quantity of water used should not exceed than
what is required to control the dust and the concerned person should make it
sure that water used should not affect the HOUSE KEEPING OF SITE.
 The quantity of water to be used will depend on the area of the site.
 The execution Engineers working at the site and EHS Manager should make
it sure that the sprinkling is done in a proper way .
MANAGEMENT ACTIONS:
 Each construction vehicle in the fleet shall be inspected on a regular basis (at
least every 6 months);
 Limit vehicle-entrained dust from unpaved roads through traffic control
measures (eg limit vehicle speeds, restrict traffic volume…);
 Covering of materials likely to result in dust emission during transportation
and storage;
 Covering of scaffoldings and use of air extraction equipment, wherever
relevant are recommended practices;
 Routine hosing down of unpaved roads and cleaning of vehicles, if necessary
and relevant regarding water availability;
 If necessary and feasible, it is recommended that water sprayers shall also be
installed on specific equipments such as crushing plants;
 If the location is prone to high winds conditions, specific measures should be
implemented depending on weather conditions (eg. limitation of certain
activities such as cement stabilization);
 Implementation of an air monitoring programme during significant dust
generating activities is best practice.
Sheet No. 73 of 115
MANAGEMENT PLAN
 Workers should not allowed emissions of fugitive dust from any transport,
handling, construction or storage activity to remain visible in atmosphere
beyond the property line of emission source.
 Do not block or shut vents or construction returns.
 Prohibits smoking inside the construction
 Do not dispose of food waste or food wrappers in your work area.
 Dispose of contaminated waste in receptacles that are emptied daily.
 Do not over water plants. Remove dead leaves. Break up dirt around the plant to
avoid mold overgrowth in the dirt.
 Clean-up water spills immediately.
 Report water intrusion and sewage problems IMMEDIATELY to the Environment
Department.
 Minimize accumulations of paper, cardboard, and other cellulose-based materials.
 Clean your work area routinely.
 Do not burn candles or have other scent-producing materials in the work area.
 Avoid portable humidifiers.

MANAGEMENT PLAN
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.

Sheet No. 75 of 115
MANAGEMENT PLAN
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.
Following are the common noise sources

considered as best practice;
 Regular maintenance of equipment (lubrication); - Appropriate noise
abatement accessories (silencers, mufflers, acoustic linings, shields…) shall
be put in place;
 If possible, noisy stationary equipment such as pumps, generators,
compressors or saws shall be sited as far as possible from residential areas
and/or operated in EHSltered locations (eg partly finiEHSd buildings) ; it is
recommended to use topographic features to provide shielding;

MANAGEMENT PLAN
 Periods when the environment is least sensitive (e.g. during normal working
days in a residential area) shall be selected for noisy activities; it is
recommended to systematically avoid noisy activities at night time;
 A schedule of noisy activities (e.g. use of pile drivers, jack hammers, rock
drills or for blasting activities) shall be drawn up when construction takes
place in close proximity of particularly sensitive environments including
schools, hospitals, residential area, sensitive ecosystems…
 A monitoring program shall be implemented for measure of sound level at key
locations;
Sheet No. 78 of 115
 If relevant, buildings within the potential damaging zone of a blast shall be
surveyed and existing cracks recorded; Subsequent monitoring should be
implemented if necessary.

MANAGEMENT PLAN
Environmental Monitoring Program:
Regular monitoring of all significant environmental parameters is essential to check the

compliance status vis-à-vis the environmental laws and regulation. The objectives of the
monitoring will be as follows:
• To verify the results of the impact assessment study with respect to the proposed projects.
• To study the trend of concentration values of the parameters, which have been, identified
