repose usually 45 degree or be supported with shoring by timbering or other suitable means to
prevent collapse. The type of support necessary will depend on the type of excavation, type of
soil, the nature of ground and the ground water condition. Adequate timbering or sheeting shall
be provided where excavation is deeper than 1.5 M. 100 mm wide Safety tape of yellow colour
with one meter long phosphorescence band after every three meter shall be used to encircle
excavated pit of any depth. For any pit of depth one meter or more, one meter high fence with a
mid rail made of bamboo or steel pipes shall be provided for preventing people / animals from
slipping into the pit. If the pit is by the side of vehicular drive way, in addition a prominent board
shall be put up saying Excavation in Progress.
ii) Pumping out of accumulated water from pit is to be done at regular intervals. Run-away water
shall be prevented from entering the excavated area, as such water can cause erosion of soil
and sudden collapse of earth.
iii) If the excavation is carried out without shoring, necessary angle of repose shall be
maintained at all times.
Page 40 of 90
iv) Labourers shall not be allowed to sleep or take rest inside the pit. Protection against insects/
poisonous snake shall be provided.
v) Excavated earth shall be stacked at least one meter away from cutting edge to avoid collapse
of trench and sliding of heaped earth into trench.

cables, pipelines, foundation of adjoining buildings or structures etc. Wherever excavation is
near any adjoining building or structure, proper precaution shall be taken.
vii) Before working / entering inside an existing excavated pit it shall be ensured that it is free
from any toxic gasses or explosive gases. The underground water present in the pit shall be
checked for acid content, if there is possibility of seepage of industrial affluent.
viii) Adequate access to and escape from the excavated trench in the form of ladders provided
at every thirty meters or less shall be ensured. Crossovers over excavated trench shall be
provided at suitable interval for movement of workers.
ix) If the excavated trench is adjacent to any parking space for vehicles, adequate and well-
anchored stop blocks shall be provided on the surface to prevent vehicles from falling in to
trench while reversing.
Relevant BIS codes shall be followed for safe practices.
26.2 PILING AND OTHER DEEP FOUNDATIONS

i) Entry into the confined space shall be allowed only against Hot work permit.
ii) Air circulation shall be ensured. Hot work in such places shall be taken up only after ensuring
that ample supply of fresh air is available using additional blowers etc. Proper ventilation shall
be ensured by opening manholes (either ends if available) and fixing a wind sail or forced
circulation of air. Old tanks shall be filled with water and washed with water before entering into
it. Sludge shall be cleared / removed from outside of the confined space, to the extent possible,
before entering.
iii) Workers shall be allowed entry in the confined space, only after ensuring absence of toxic
and explosive gases. Purging of gases may be done by filling the underground confined space
with water.
iv) Everyone inside the confined space shall wear rescue harness, with lifelines attached to a
point outside the confined space. Whenever workmen are allowed to enter a vessel or
underground tank or confined space, it is necessary to keep one person (alert and trained) at
each manhole or entry point. The person should keep watch through manhole and offer rescue
assistance so as to ensure prompt pulling out of the workers from confined space in case of
emergency. Proper communication system between confined space and outside shall be
maintained.

procedure, but also on the principles of structural construction.
A survey of the physical characteristics and design of the structure to be demolished must be
carried out in order to choose a safe method of demolishing. The demolition action plan shall be
drawn by the contractor including drawings or sketches showing the sequence of operations,
the machinery and equipment to be used, personal protective equipment required
etc. Before demolition begins, all service connections to the structure shall be disconnected.
Arrangements must be made to erect a fence of height two meter encircling the structure under
demolition.
It is dangerous to leave isolated walls or parts of a wall standing alone, as those are liable to
collapse from the effect of high winds and hence necessary supports should be given in such
cases.
Debris should not be allowed to build up against walls or floors with the consequent risk of the
structure getting overloaded.
Vapour present inside the structure must be checked for toxic nature before starting demolition
work.
Protective measures should be taken against dust, fumes, chemical deposits, asbestos, glass
wool etc. while carrying out demolition work.
Disposal process and pit / yard should be identified for safe disposal of debris.
Relevant BIS safety code for demolition of structures shall be followed.
26.5 WORKING AT HEIGHT

Scaffolds accidents occur primarily to the following reasons:
Faulty design
Faulty erection
Weak foundation
Page 43 of 90
Inadequate strength of structural members
Inadequacy of platforms, guard-rails and toe-boards.
Scaffolds are designed for live loads of workers and building materials, besides their own dead
weight. However, a scaffold is usually designed only in case of important structures, like bridge
girder/slab, very long beam/very large slab in buildings etc. In case of day today scaffoldings for
general civil constructions / colour washing / painting / plastering etc., scaffolds are usually not
designed, but erected based on experience.
Scaffolds may be constructed of either timber, sal ballies, bamboo, or metal. Those may be
single scaffold or double scaffold for light duty or heavy duty, as the case may be. Single
scaffolds are recommended for carpenter, painter and similar trade. Double scaffolds are
recommended for masons and similar trade.All scaffolds should conform to IS:3696(Pt.1)-1987.
As bamboo and metal scaffoldings are used, salient features of those scaffoldings are given
below:
Single Pole Bamboo Scaffolds:

Single scaffold consists of one row of upright poles or standards, placed not more than 1.8mt
centres, fixed at suitable distance from the wall and connected horizontally by ledgers (bamboo
placed horizontally ) spaced vertically at 1.5 to 1.8mt centres. Cross members (putlogs),
supported on ledger on one side and hole in the wall on other side, are provided at 1.2mt
centres.
Double Pole Bamboo Scaffolds:

It consist of two rows of up-rights or standards. The inner row is placed next to wall and other
row placed 1.2 to1.5mt away from the wall. As in earlier case,ledger is provided every 1.5 to
1.8mt vertically. However, in this case , putlogs shall rest entirely on ledgers at both ends.Every
single or double pole scaffolds, shall be effectively tied with adjacent structure. Diagonal face
bracing or zig zag face bracing shall be provided on single pole scaffold and outer row of double
pole scaffold. The maximum distance between braced bays in any lift of scaffold shall not
exceed 10mt.
Quality of Bamboo
Bamboo should be reasonably straight, sound, free from splits, knots dry rot, worm holes and
any other defect, which tend to reduce strength of bamboo. The mean diameter shall not be less
than 80mm in case of single pole scaffold and 100mm in case of double pole scaffold, subject to
minimum diameter of 50mm at thinner end. The slenderness ratio, i.e.L/d ratio shall not exceed
50, where L is the legnth of up-right or standard between putlogs. The diameter of bamboo shall
not be measured at knot points.
Where it is necessary to extend a up-right, the overlapping distance between twoup -rights shall
not be less than 600mm.
Page 44 of 90
Maximum Height of Bamboo Scaffolds
IS:3696(Pt 1) has recommended use of Bamboo Scaffolds for heights upto 18mt, subject to
conforming to provisions given there-in.
Platform Width for Working on Scaffolds

Where platform is not more than 2mt above ground or floor:
For Painters,Decorators etc 300mm (min)
For other types ,i.e., mason etc. 500mm (min)
Where platform is more than 2mt above ground floor:

For Painters,Decorators etc. 900mm (min)
For other types ,i.e., mason etc. 1200mm (min)
Railings & Toe Boards

Railings consisting of top rail at a level of around 1000mm above platform and an intermediate
rail halfway between top rail and platform shall be provided for all working platforms higher than
2mt above ground or floor.
The platform edges shall be provided with 150mm high toe board to eliminate hazards of toolbar
or other objects falling from platform. Where scaffolds are erected over areas, where people
work or pass, the space between top rail and toe board shall be enclosed by tarpaulin or PVC
sheets.
Means of Access
A safe and convenient means of access shall be provided to all platform level of scaffolds.
Conventional means of access are the following:
Ladder
Stairway
Ramp
Ladder:
To ensure safe use of ladder, the following steps should be followed:
Erecting ladders in the "four up-one out position" (i.e 75 degree angle between ladder and
ground)
Lashing ladder securely with the structure.
Page 45 of 90
Using non-slip devices, such as, rubber shoes or pointed steel ferrules at the ladder foot,
rubber wheels at ladder top, fixing woollen battens, cleats etc.
When ladder is used for climbing over a platform, the ladder must be or sufficient length, to
extend at least one meter above the platform, when erected against the platform in "four up-one
out position".
Portable ladders shall be used for flights not more than 4mt. Above 4mt flights, fixed ladders
shall be provided with at least 600 mm landings at every 6mt or less.
The width of ladder shall not be less than 300mm and rungs shall be spaced not more than
300mm.
Stairway
For scaffolds exceeding 4mt height, stairway are safest means of access. It shall conform to the
following:
Treads and risers shall be of uniform width and height in any one flight.
Minimum width of 1000mm.
No unbroken vertical rise of more than 4mt.
Maximum angle of ascent 50 degrees.

Railings and toe boards on all landings.
Ramp
Ramp shall conform to the following:
Open sides of ramp shall be protected by railing and toe board, where ramp is 1.5mt or more
above ground or floor.
Where slope is more than 1 in 4, footholds shall be provided by stepping laths of minimum size
50 x 30mm at interclass not exceeding 450mm.
Maximum permissible slope is 2 in 3.
Metal Scaffolds
With the evolution of concept of designing multi -storied and long span structures, metal
scaffolds came into practice, mainly due to following advantages.
Ease of assessing strength of scaffolds structure.
Page 46 of 90
Reusable many more times than bamboo.
Possibility of human error while erection, is much less that in case of bamboo scaffolding.
Aesthetically neat and good looking.
Metal scaffolds shall conform to IS:2750 -1964, in addition to IS3696(Pt 1). Scaffold tubes are
usually 40mm N.B., mild still continuous weld conforming to IS:1239 or IS1161, grade YST 210,
of lengths varying between 4.5mt to 6mt. These are manufactured and marketed by various
agencies. As such, it is essential to obtain guaruntee certificate from the manufacturer about
safety and stability of metal scaffolds under likely worst combination of loads.
Other General Safety Requirements for all types of Scaffolds
Erection, alteration and removal shall be done under supervision of experienced personnel.
Use of barrels, boxes, loose bricks etc., for supporting platform shall not be permitted.
Every platform and means of access shall be kept free from obstruction.
Each supporting member shall be securely fastened and braced
Where planks are butt-joined, two parallel putlogs shall be used, not more than 100mm apart,
to give support to each plank.
Platform plank shall not project beyond its end support to a distance exceeding four times the
thickness of plank, unless it is effectively secured to prevent tipping. Cantilever planks shall be
avoided.
If Grease, mud, gravel, mortar etc., fall on platform or scaffolds, these shall be removed
immediately to avoid slipping.
Workers shall not be allowed to work on scaffolds during storms or high wind. After heavy rain
or storms scaffolds shall be inspected by site-in-charge before reuse.
All scaffolds or platforms shall be fastened with adjacent structure, and if independent,
scaffolds shall be braced properly.
Scaffolding shall be erected on firm and level ground. In case of loose soil, the soil should be
compacted by watering and ramming, besides using wooden base plate of minimum thickness
30mm for erecting standards.
All members of metal scaffolding shall be checked periodically to screen out defective /rusted
members. All joints should be properly lubricated for easy tightening.
Clear access to scaffolds shall be maintained at all times. For prohibiting entry of unauthorised
persons in scaffolds area, barricades should be put up and warning notices prominently
displayed.
Page 47 of 90
If scaffolds are used, where public movement is anticipated, entry of public should be
prohibited for the duration of the job.
Where lifts are provided to hoist premixed concrete, reinforcement etc., to upper floors,
barricades should be raised to prevent accidental entry of workers under the lift. Such lifts shall
not be used for hoisting people, unless those are designed specifically for that purpose.
Dismantling of scaffoldings shall be done in a pre-planned, sequential manner in order to

maintain stability throughout the process. If necessary, additional tying, bracing may have to be
done to prevent sudden collapse of scaffolds structure.
Before initiating dismantling process, precautions should be taken to ensure removal of all
loose materials from the scaffolds.
Use of scaffolds, under dismantling process, must be prohibited.
Wearing safety helmets shall be made mandatory within 10mt from scaffolds.
Dismantling of Form -work

Action for dismantling form-work, used for supporting concrete casting, must be done after
expiry of requisite number of days after casting and proper curing. Untimely dismantling of form-
work may cause total collapseof structure. Bottom shuttering of chajia or sun-shed should not
be removed, till the attached lintel is properly secured by brickwork, to avoid failure of lintal due
to toppling / torque.
In case of casting of multi-storied framed structure, casting of upper floor should be avoided till
expiry of minimum curing period of lower floor. But, if essential, bottom shuttering of the lower
floor shall be suitably strengthened by additional props.
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY BELTS & HARNESSES

Primary functions of safety belt & harness are to minimise injury after a fall. Despite providing
proper scaffolds, railing etc, possibility of slipping and falling can not be over-ruled. This
equipment is the last check to prevent worker from getting fatal injury.
Four types of safety belts & hareness are available in the market, depending on nature of
various jobs. Failure to choose right type of safety belt & harness may led to endangering life of
worker at the time of need. All safety belts and harness shall conform to IS3521-1989.
Type Consists of Permissible Used for
Building / Structural

IV Waist belt with pole strap. --
pole.
Proper choice of anchoring point for anchoring the safety-line is essential. At many instances,
the workers have met with fatal accidents due to anchoring with weak supports. Sometimes
anchoring points are found to be chosen by mistake in such a way, that should a person fall, he
would hit against a rigid structure due to swinging action of the safety line. Hence anchoring
point for safety-line needs to be judiciously chosen. Where proper anchoring points are not likely
to be available, action should be taken in advance to provide for hooks and fixtures.
The shock absorbing capacity of the safety-line is critical for reducing impact of fall. A stiff
safety-line, would arrest a fall suddenly, resulting in an abnormal impact load on body of the
worker, causing injury. According to IS3521, safety-line should be made of nylon or polyester or
synthetic fibre. It shall not break under minimum tensile load of 2000kg. The minimum diameter
of test specimen shall be 10mm. Performance test of the Safety belt & Harness shall be carried
out as per annexure -B of IS3521, by dropping an articulated anthropometric
dummy weighing 100+5 kg with an overall height of 1.6mt to 1.8mt, and waist not more than
1000mm circumference.
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY NETS

Industrial Safety Nets are designed to catch workers and / or debris falling whilst working on
high buildings or structural fabrications. The safety net should be installed as close to the work
level as possible. Sufficient clearance should be maintained between the safety net and the
ground or structure below, in order to accommodate full deflection of the net under
impact. IS 11057-1984 specifies requirements for two types of safety nets.
Suitable for use at maximum duty height (*) upto 6mt
Suitable for use at maximum duty height (*)upto 1mt

(* The maximum vertical distance between working level and the level at which safety net is to
be placed in use.)
Page 49 of 90
Salient features are as under:
Minimum nominal size shall be 4mtX 3mt.
Shall be made with square or diamond mesh and the length of mesh side shall not be more
than 100mm.
In cae of multi layer nets, all layers shall be joined together and fitted to a common border cord
or cords.
A continuous length of net, with no joints shall be used.
When in use (without any load,except dead weight of the net), the sag at centre of the net shall
be between one-fifth and one-fourth of the length of the shorter side.
Performance shall be tested by actual drop test of a sand bag weighing 140kg, in accordance
with appendix A of IS-11057-1984.(Safety nets are available with an overlay net to catch small
tools and debris. But, the performance test shall be carried out only after removing such overlay
net.)
The deflection at the centre of the net during above drop test, shall not exceed 2mt or one-half
of the length of the shortest side, whichever is more.
Manufacturer shall declare the duty height at which net conforms to IS11057 by fixing labels
marked with indelible ink at two different positions on the net. The labels should also contain
following information.
Manufacturers name or trade mark

Nominal size of safety net.
Date of manufacture.
Deflection at centre of the net during above drop test.
ROOFTOP LADDERS
Asbestos cement sheets are usually used as industrial roofing material. These are very brittle.
In some cases GI sheets are used, which when rusted, become fragile. The collapse of fragile
roofs, while walking on it, can cause fall from rooftops. These roofing materials are often laid on
slopes, causing additional hazards of slips and falls from edges. For working on fragile and / or
slopping roof, the following safety measures shall be taken:
Crawling boards or roof top ladders shall be used.
While working, the worker should always stay on those and remember not to step on the roof
surface, which may give way.
Before commencing any work on fragile roof, the site-in-charge shall verify the availability of
crawling board or roof top ladder and competence of workers to use those equipment.
26.6 STORAGE TANKS / SPHERES / BULLETS
Page 50 of 90
The safety of tanks depends more on the standards and quality of inspection applied at all

33 PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION SAFE PRACTICES

I. Handling and storage of pipes
a) Bare Pipes
* Unloading, loading, stockpiling and transportation of bare pipes should be done using suitable
means and in a manner to avoid denting, flattering or other damages to pipes
* Pipes should not be allowed to drop but should be lifted or lowered from one level to another
by suitable equipment
* Lifting hooks when used, should be equipped with a plate curved to fit the curvature of the pipe
* Pipe when stockpiled, should be placed on a suitable skid to keep it clear of the ground.
* The stacks must be properly secured against sliding and should consist of pipes of the same
diameter and wall thickness
* Personal Protective Equipment like safety shoe and glove should be used by worker while
handling pipes.
b) Coated Pipes
* Coated pipe shall be handled by means of slings and belts of proper width made of non-
metallic/ non-adhesive materials
* Belts/slings when used should be cleaned to remove hard materials such as stone, gravel etc.
Page 65 of 90
* Coated pipes should not be bumped against any other pipe or any other objects
* Rolling, skidding or dragging of coated pipes should be strictly avoided
* Coated pipes at all times should be stacked completely clear from the ground so that the
bottom row of pipes remains free from any ground contact. Pipelines should be stacked at a
slope so that during rain, water does not collect inside the pipe.
* The coated pipes may be stacked by placing them on ridges of sand and covered with a
plastic film.
* Stacks should consist of limited number of layers so that the pressure exercised by the pipe's
own weight does not cause damages to the coating.
* The weld lead of pipes should be positioned in such a manner so as not to touch adjacent
pipes
* Coated pipes stacked in open storage yard should be suitably covered on top to decrease
direct exposure to sunlight
* The ends of the pipes during handling and stacking should always be protected with end
protectors
II. Swabbing and Night capping

To ensure that all dirt and objects likely to cause obstruction in the interior of the pipe are
removed, each length of pipe should be thoroughly scrabbled prior to alignment and welding. At
the end of each day's work a steel plate or nightcap should be adequately secured over open
ends of incomplete section of the pipeline to prevent ingress of extraneous objects and ground
or floodwater.
III. Inspection of field welds

In case of cross-country pipeline and where specifically specified, all weld joints should be
radiographed to ensure the soundness of welding joints to avoid failure of joints, which may
create serious pollution or environmental problem.
IV Coating Inspection in the field

Where pipeline coating is carried out in the field, all bare and primed pipe should be kept free
from dust and grease, oil etc. Before the pipeline is lowered into the trench the coating should
be thoroughly inspected both visually and by using holiday detector. Any visible damage should
be repaired and the pipeline shall be retested.
V. Lowering and Backfilling
Page 66 of 90
Equipment used for lowering the pipeline from the skids and positioning it finally
in the trench should be sufficiently padded at points of contact with the pipe to prevent damage
to the protective coating
* Slings used for lowering the pipe should be made of canvas or equally non-abrasive material
and of a width not less than the diameter of the pipe.
* The trench should be clear of loose rocks, lumps or other objects that might prevent the
coated pipe from bearing evenly on the trench bottom.
* When digging soil from beneath the pipe in order to remove slings, care should be taken to
avoid damage to the protective coating. The coating should subsequently be inspected and any
damage shall be repaired.
* In waterlogged areas it may be necessary to provide additional weighting or screw anchors to

prevent floatation of pipeline.
* No lowering should be done after sunset without proper lighting arrangement
* Minimum 3 side booms should be used and mounting of counter weights should be ensured
on side booms for lowering the pipes.
VI. Road, Rail and Water Crossing

* Where work being done either adjacent to or any public or private road; warning signs and
night time warning lights should be provided and maintained.
* Crossing will frequently necessitate laying the pipeline at greater depth than normal and may
therefore call for special measure to support the trench or boring pit.
* Where crossings are made by open cut, the work should be programmed so as to minimise
the amount of time that the normal traffic or flow is interrupted. Where necessary temporary
conduits or pumping system should be provided to maintain the flow in water courses
VII. Trenching
* Barricading should be made while trenching in heavy traffic area.
* Sign boards should be provided while trenching in heavy traffic area
* Trench cross over shall be provided at every 30 Mts. of its length while trenching
* Lighting should be provided for night working
* Shoring should be provided for trench support
* Underground service connections should be identified and marked prominently
* Excavation tools should be properly insulated to avoid electric shocks
Page 67 of 90
* Evacuation of workers should be ensured before blasting
* Entry of workers in site, where blasting is planned to be done, should be allowed after
inspection and clearance from qualified Blaster
Requirements of safe procedure as stipulated in BIS Code IS:4081-1986 for blasting and
drilling must be observed during blasting operation.
VIII. Pipeline Marks

Distinctive markers should be created at all crossings to indicate the alignment of the pipeline
and should give information about ownership, diameter, the nature of content, the normal
direction of flow and the location of the crossing. A telephone number for use in emergencies
shall also be displayed.

practicable. The ingestion of paint shall always be avoided. Food and drink shall not be brought,
stored, prepared or consumed in areas where paints are stored, handled or used. Smoking in
such areas shall be prohibited. The inhalation of paints, dusts or fumes shall always be avoided
by the use of local ventilation or extraction. Where fumes or dusts are unavoidable, then
suitable approved respirators or facemasks shall be worn. All personnel who handle and use
paints shall wear appropriate protective clothing (such as, gloves, eye protection and overalls).
Splashes of paint on skin shall be treated promptly by copious washing with water or an
approved cleaning agent. (Solvent shall not be used for personal cleaning).
35 CLASSIFICATION & WORKING IN HAZARDOUS ZONES

Hazardous (flammable atmosphere) zones are classified as zone-O, zone-1 and zone-2. All
other areas are unclassified but not necessarily non-hazardous. In these areas, safety
precautions must be observed in order to eliminate risk of explosion. Zone-O is defined as the
vapour space in and directly around product storage tanks. Zone-1 is defined as an area where
vapours, may be expected at all times. For zone 2, flammable vapours may be expected to be
presently when
a failure to equipment or plant occur. Unclassified areas cannot be assumed to be always non-
hazardous, therefore must be checked prior to issue of work permits, Following precautions
shall be taken while working in hazardous areas.
Page 68 of 90
35.1 NON-SPARKING EQUIPMENT
Sparks can be produced from electrical tools/devices, and where two surfaces collide. In order
to avoid risk of sparking, only tools approved for use in hazardous zone-1 shall be used. The
condition of all equipments used within hazardous zones shall be checked by BPCL Engineer.
Where chipping or scraping is necessary in a hazardous area, several precautions shall be
taken such as; the surface being chipped or scraped shall be kept moist with water at all times ;
Air driven jackhammers may be used
where atmosphere has been certified to be safe and the impacting surfaces must be submerged
in water.
35.2 CHECKING OF WORKERS

Workers are to be checked for matchboxes, lighters and other spark producing items. If workers
are found to be carrying any such item, the same shall be taken into custody by security at the
entry point.
35.3 SAFETY CHECKS

In all cases where work is to be carried out within hazardous zones, BPCL Engineer shall check
the area using an explosimeter for the presence of flammable vapours. The explosimeter shall
be verified before each use, for its smooth functioning. Should there be any indication of
flammable vapours, steps shall be taken to reduce the vapour content of the surrounding
atmosphere. If found safe after re-checking by explosimeter, the work permit shall be issued.
35.4 FIRE SCREEN WALL

Fire screen shall be provided to segregate area where hot works, such as welding & cutting, is
planned to be done from surrounding. To construct fire screen, the following shall be complied
with:
Members shall be made of appropriate size MS pipes, MS structurals, strong enough to

withstand the wind, live and dead loads. The bottom of columns shall be properly grouted.
Good quality G.I. Sheets free from damage and holes shall be used as screening wall. G.I.
Sheets shall be properly tied up with the structure.
The height of fire screen wall shall be decided based on the level at which hot work is
supposed to be carried out. For example, in case of above ground tanks fabrication by jacking
up method, a fire screen of 6 M height is sufficient where as in the other case it is required to
have a height equal to height of structure to be fabricated.
36. WORK PERMIT SYSTEM

If work is to be performed in a hazardous area, a duly authorized written work permit shall be
obtained by the contractor from BPCL or any official duly authorized by BPCL for this purpose.

37. ACCIDENT REPORTING AND CLASSIFICATION

37.1 ACCIDENT REPORTING
All employees must be encouraged to report any near miss incident that has or could have
caused injury, illness, damage to property, or interruption in work. The reporting of such incident
helps in analyzing what went wrong and enables steps to be taken to prevent recurrence. The
accident reporting forms the basis for objective investigation of the accident and will bring out
essential and contributory factors leading to It. The necessary decisions then can be taken to
prevent recurrence in future.
37.2 CLASSIFICATION OF ACCIDENTS

Accidents are classified as follows:
a) Near Miss
Page 71 of 90
It is a 'narrow escape' where accident, major loss or injury did not occur. Such incidents must be
reported locally and the working conditions leading to it must be investigated.
b) Fatality
A death resulting from work injury is covered under this category irrespective of the intervening
time between injury and death.
c) Permanent total disability

Personal injury which incapacitate a person completely and results in termination of
employment.
d) Permanent partial Disability

Any injury which results in complete loss or permanent loss of use of any part of body or any
permanent impairment of the function of the body.
e) Lost Work-Day Case

Any injury excepting permanent partial disability which renders the injured person unable to
perform any regular job on any day after the day of receiving the injury.
f) Restricted work case
After the injury, the injured person cannot perform his normal duties or regular job.
g) Lost work days
The number of calendar days on which the injured person was temporarily unable to work.
h) Restricted Work days
The total number of calendar days from the start of Restricted work, by the injured persons, till
he returns to his regular job.
i) Medical treatment cases
The injury requiring medical treatment under order from a physician but does not involve Lost
work Days, or restricted workdays.
37.3 REPORTING
Contractor shall notify BPCL as under:
Page 72 of 90
Lost time injuries / Fatality / Injury which may cause total or partial disability to injured etc -
immediately.
Fire and Miscellaneous Events-immediately.
First Aid injuries-Within a day.
38 SAFETY TRAINING
Training is a pro-active measure. The contractor shall engage only those workers who are
proficient in their respective jobs. It is responsibility of contractor to impart job knowledge to all
workers and supervisors before engaging them for any work. It is also binding to the contractor
to depute persons for safety training, if arranged by BPCL.
39 DOCUMENTATION
Following documents shall be maintained by contractor at site:
Safety & Environment Policy

Safety committee minutes of meeting
Critical machinery/equipment fitness certificate.
Stock register of Personnel Protective Equipment.
Maintenance registers for major machineries/equipment.
Accident / incident investigation reports.
Various work permits.
Earthing test certificates.
Materials test certificates.
P.F., Contract Labour, ESI registration.
All records & registers as required under Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition Act)
1970 and Building & Other Construction Workers Act 1996.
40 ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Contractor should ensure that the work carried out by him does not change the quality of air,
water & soil at the work site & surrounding areas. Disposal of surplus earth, rubbish, scrap etc.
shall be done in Eco-friendly manner. The contractor shall ensure that the greenery is protected
to the extent possible while executing the work.
41 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURES

The best way of impact mitigation is to prevent the event occurring. All efforts should be made
to locate the developmental activities in a area free of agricultural lands, cyclones, earthquakes,
ecologically sensitive, erosion, forests, flooding, human settlements, land slides, natural scenic
beauty, water logging. In case this is not feasible, the next step is to look at the raw
materials/technologies/processes alternatives which produce least impact i.e. adopting or using

processes or technologies which are efficient and produce recyclable wastes/minimum
Page 73 of 90
waste/wastes that can be easily disposed, without affecting the environment. However if the
developmental activity produce the adverse impact, action has to be taken to mitigate the same.
Following are the suggested methods, which shall be taken in to consideration by the contractor
to choose right technology for executing the work:
41.1 AIR
Attenuation of pollution on pathway or protection of receptor through green belts.
Particulate removal devices such as : cyclones, setting chambers, scrubbers, electrostatic

precipitators, and bag houses.
Gas removal devices using absorption (liquid as a media), adsorption (molecular sieve), and
catalytic converters.
Uses of protected, controlled environment, such as oxygen masks, Houston Astrodome, etc.
Control of stationary source emission (including evaporation incineration, absorption,

condensation and material substitution)
Use of masks
Dilution of odourant (dilution can change the nature as well as strength of an odour)
Odour counteraction or neutralize (certain pairs of odours in appropriate concentration may

neutralize each other)
Odour masking or blanketing (certain weaker malodours may be suppressed by a considerably

stronger good odour)
41.2 NOISE
The mitigation measure may include damping, absorption, dissipation and deflection methods.
Common technique involve constructing sound enclosures, applying mufflers, mounting noise
sources on isolators, and/or using materials with damping properties.
Performance specifications for noise represent a way to insure the procured item is controlled.
Ear protective devices should be used. When an individual is exposed to steady noise levels
above 85-dB (A), in spite of the efforts made to reduce noise level at the source, hearing
conservation measures should be initiated.
41.3 WATER
Conjunctive use of ground/surface water, to prevent flooding/water logging/depletion of water
resources. Included are land use pattern, land filling, lagoon/reservoir/garland canal
construction and rainwater harvesting and pumping rate.
Minimize flow variation from the mean flow.
Page 74 of 90
Segregation of different types of wastes.
Storing of oil wastes in lagoons should be minimized in order to avoid possible contamination
of the ground water system.
Surface runoff from oil handling areas should be treated for oil separation before discharge
into the environment. If oil wastes are combined with sanitary sewage, oil separation will be
necessary at the waste water treatment facility.
All effluents containing acid/alkali/organic/toxic wastes should be processed by treatment

methods. The treatment methods may include biological or chemical processes. The oil water
separator of appropriate size based on catchment area shall be provided.
The impact due to suspended solids may be minimized by controlling discharge of wastes that
contain suspended solids; this includes sanitary sewage and industrial wastes. Also, all activity
that increases erosion or contributes nutrients to water (thus stimulating alga growth) should be
minimized.
Waste-containing radioactivity should be treated separately by means of dewatering

procedures and solids or brine should be disposed of with special care.
41.4 LAND
The environmental impact of soil erosion can best be mitigated by removing vegetative cover
only from the specific site on which construction is to take place and by disturbing the vegetation
in adjacent areas as little as possible. Land clearing activities should be kept to the absolute
minimum.
Disturbing the existing vegetation and natural contour of the land as little as possible can
mitigate increases in surface runoff. Vegetation along watercourses should not be cleared
indiscriminately. Neither should potholes or swamps be drained unless absolutely necessary for
successful completion of the activity.
Construction activities that result in the soil being laid bare could be scheduled in such a way
that some type of vegetative cover appropriate to the site could be established prior to the onset
of intense rain or windstorms. If grass is to be seeded, mulch of straw will help to protect the soil
from less extreme erosive forces until vegetative and root development begins.
Natural drainage patterns can often be maintained by preparing sodden waterways or

installing culverts.
Steep slopes can be terraced, thereby effectively reducing the length of slope.
Check dams built near construction sites can reduce the quantity of eroded soil particles
reaching free-flowing streams or lakes.
Page 75 of 90
Use of floating foundations and height restrictions in earthquake zones and increased
foundation height, wall strength and roof support in areas periodically subject to cyclones can
reduce the hazards.
All forms of temporary structures should be avoided from the flood plain and all permanent
structures should be raised to a height above the level which flood waters can be expected to
reach once very 100 years (100-year flood).
Installation of underground drainage structures helps to reduce sediment loads.
Engineering plans can be drawn to reduce the area of earth cuts on fills below what might
otherwise be acceptable, provide physical support for exposed soil or rock faces, concentrate or
distribute-as appropriate the weight loading of foundations to areas or state better able to
support that weight.
Use small charges for mining/blasting.
Restricting the number, frequency and area of movement of heavy machinery.
Compatibility between adjacent land uses can best be assured by providing a green belt
between the proposed activity and nearby properties where any significant degree of
incompatibility is likely to result.
41.5 ECOLOGY
Intruding as little as possible on their habitat can best mitigate the impact of activities on
animals. If such animals use the area where the activity will take place, the activity should be
concentrated to the maximum extent possible in those parts of the area that they least often
frequent.
During the planning phase of an activity, an attempt should be made to avoid extending into
the home range wild animals. If this is not feasible, the activity should be completed, as quickly
as possible, and regular and sustained use of the area over time should be minimized.
Regular or sustained intrusions of men or equipment into nesting areas of birds should be
avoided to the maximum possible extent, especially while are being incubated by the adults and
until the young have left the nest. The sanitation cuttings of non-commercial individual trees
should destroy no known nests.
Restricting the input of polluting substances into watercourse, estuaries and the open sea can
mitigate impacts upon fish and shellfish populations. Additionally, when a part of the activity
involves water level control, changes in such levels should be programmed to be extent, it is
possible to do so in a way that will minimally disturb nesting and feeding habitat.
