9. DESIGN RISK MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL:

Risk Assessment includes tables of identified risks from various generic and particular processes that
are seen to arise from our operations in general and the relevant control measures. In each case the
hazard is identified and considered both with control measures in place and also without them. It is
company policy that all risks are identified and assessed as part of the development and maintenance
of safe systems of work. Responsibility for discharging this policy is vested in line management,
drawing upon specialist assistance (i.e., competent persons), as necessary from the Safety and
Technical specialists.
We recognize that there are risks inherent in Construction operations, renewal of infrastructure and
maintenance and that the objective is to reduce risk as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).
CREET work with contractors to improve the overall safety performance on the infrastructure,
accordingly some proposals identified by us (in our position as Contractor) will be submitted to our
clients for support
➢ Planning and Organizing:
The level of risk assessment employed is related to the scale and complexity of the risk involved.
Managerial judgment and simple qualitative techniques generating numeric values are commonly
used.
CREET includes initiatives to manage risk as low as reasonably practical in line with the Health and
Safety at Work as defined in the labor laws and other requirements in the KSA.
➢ Temporary Works & required standards:
Temporary works is an “engineered solution” used to support or protect either:
• An existing structure
• The permanent works during construction
• Support an item or plant or equipment
• The vertical sides or side-slopes of an excavation during construction, or
• To provide access
• Formwork / False work – for vertical & Horizontal concrete casting
Temporary works procedures will be established in accordance with BS 5975:2008 Code of Practice
for Temporary Works Procedures for the Design Checking and Inspection of Temporary Works and
the Permissible Stress Design for False work.
A design brief is to be prepared to serve as the starting point for subsequent decisions, design work,
calculations and drawings. The brief is to include all data relevant to the design of temporary works.
Any person involved in the design or coordination of temporary works is to have relevant up to date
training and both the qualifications and experience appropriate to the complexity of the work.
In addition to the above CREET submit the required standards, procedures in Method of statements
and can be find in Appendix B of This plan, such as, Excavation, Confined space, lifting operation,
Manual handling, concrete work, electrical work, material handling, night work, hot work, fire
protection and prevention and work at height etc. but not limited to. CREET will prepare and submit
the work procedures separate through Method of statement before starting work during construction
stages.

➢ Risk Assessment:
The purpose of risk assessment is to identify potential hazards associated with the construction
activities, evaluate the degree of risk by quantitative assessment of the “likelihood” and “consequence”
and determine corresponding control measures required.
A risk assessment shall include:
Identification of factors that may be contributing to the risk

• Review of HSE information that is reasonably available from an authoritative source and is relevant
to the particular hazard,
• Evaluation of how severe consequences could be. This shall include looking at the types of
injuries/illnesses/harm/damage that may result from the HSE issue, the number of people exposed,
possible chain effects from exposure to this hazard.
• Evaluation of how a HSE issue may affect. This includes examining how work is completed, whether
existing control measures are in place and whether they control the effect, looking at
infrequent/abnormal situations as well as standard operating situations. A chain of events related to
a risk may need to be considered.
• Determining the likelihood of effect occurring. The level of risk will increase as the likelihood of harm
and its severity increases. The likelihood of harm occurring may be affected by how often the task
is completed, in what conditions, how many people are exposed to the hazard and for what duration.
• The actions necessary to eliminate or control the risk shall be identified
• Records shall be identified that are necessary to keep ensuring that the risks are eliminated or
controlled.
• Other risk factors should also be identified as they may contribute to the risk: including
• The work premises and the working environment, including their layout and condition,
• The capability, skill, experience and age of people ordinarily undertaking work,
• The systems of work being used; and
• The range of reasonably foreseeable conditions.
The process of assessing the risk is undertaken by reviewing any available information about the HSE
issue and by using your personal work experience about what sort of effect the HSE issue could create
and how likely this would be to happen.
At CREET, managers and supervisors are required to identify HSE issues, assess the risks of their effect
resulting from these HSE issues and set a priority for corrective action by using a clearly laid out
process. The process is as follows:
• Identified HSE issues are documented using Task Risk Assessment form. Exhibit No.01
A Risk Assessment Matrix is then used to rate the risk.
21
➢ Hazard Identification
One of the "root causes" of workplace injuries, illnesses, and incidents is the failure to identify or
recognize hazards that are present, or that could have been anticipated. A critical element of any
effective safety and health program is a proactive, ongoing process to identify and assess such hazards.
To identify and assess hazards, CREET employers and workers will:
• Collect and review information about the hazards present or likely to be present in the workplace.
• Conduct initial and periodic workplace inspections of the workplace to identify new or recurring
hazards.
• Investigate injuries, illnesses, incidents, and close calls/near misses to determine the underlying
hazards, their causes, and safety and health program shortcomings.
• Group similar incidents and identify trends in injuries, illnesses, and hazards reported.
• Consider hazards associated with emergency or non-routine situations.
• Determine the severity and likelihood of incidents that could result for each hazard identified, and use
this information to prioritize corrective actions.
Some hazards, such as housekeeping and tripping hazards can and should be fixed as they are found. Fixing
hazards on the spot emphasizes the importance of safety and health and takes advantage of a safety
leadership opportunity. Hazard identification has following elements/ action items:
Action item 1: Collect existing information about workplace hazards

Action item 2: Inspect the workplace for safety hazards
Action item 3: Identify health hazards
Action item 4: Conduct incident investigations
Action item 5: Identify hazards associated with emergency and no routine situations
Action item 6: Characterize the nature of identified hazards, identify interim control measures,
and prioritize the hazards for control
Generally, hazards are divided into following groups

• Physical hazards: Fall from Height, falling objects, manual handling, noise, Plant related hazards etc.
• Mechanical Hazards: Crushing, shearing, cutting and severing, punctures, friction and abrasion,
impact and high-pressure fluid injection.
• Electrical hazards: Direct electrocution, contact with overhead or underground cables
• Chemical hazards: Inhalation, skin contact with chemicals, ingestion of chemicals
• Radiation hazards: X-Ray, UV lights.
• Biological hazards: pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites
• Environmental hazards: Noise, dust, land, poor lighting, unreasonable temperatures
• Organizational hazards: Temporal aspect of work, work content, interpersonal issue with in team,
work content, interpersonal issue with supervisor and organizational structures.
22
➢ Risk Evaluation
Risk evaluation shall cover a systematic examination of the Probability, Exposure and Severity to
people, environment and property
➢ Methods of identifying workplace hazards
• Reviewing information from designers or manufacturers (method statement);
• Analyzing incident, accident and injury data and at –risk-behaviors;
• Analyzing work processes;
• Developing a hazard checklist;
• Conducting walk-through surveys;
• Examining and considering material safety data sheets or product labels; and seeking advice from
specialist practitioners or representatives consulting with engineers, foreman and workers and there
is a form for them to assume what hazards in their sites
➢ Risk Control
• Elimination
• Substitution
• Isolation
• Administrative Controls
• Engineering control s
• Personal protective equipment
23
➢ General Risk Assessments:

There are generic risk assessments with control methods available from the CREET Safety, Quality and
Environment Department.
These assessments do not take the place of the specific assessments and are meant as a general guide only.
Exhibit - 19
➢ Specific Risk Assessments:
Risk is identified in several ways; specific risks identified from previous similar work with risks assessed
from site surveys and initial inspections; risks assessed on an ongoing basis as work proceeds and task-
based risks. These may be identified from accidents/incidents or from hidden service reports, or other site-
specific information. In all cases the format and the briefing process is similar.
➢ HSE Risk Register:

CREET will prepare project safety risk register in accordance with HSSE Manual Section
which include the following as minimum;
• Fire and explosion
• Collapse of structure and excavations
• Sudden flooding
• Atmospheric pollution
• Power failure
• Falls from height
• Struck by plant or vehicles
• Unidentified utilities
• Underground utilities
• Lifting failure
➢ Method of statement:
• Using the risk assessments identified, and with reference to best practice we will use our expertise to
provide method statements to ensure safe and effective execution of the work activities. Method
Statements shall be produced in accordance with CREET procedures and guidelines.
• Method statements will be briefed to all site staff including subcontractors. The Site Supervisor will
have copies available at all times.
• The re-scheduling, prioritization of work, including making good and correcting work, will be
contained on our schedules of work in conjunction with the contract detail supplied by our clients.
The Supervisor responsible for each site determines site rules

❖ SPECIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENT FOR SITE MOBILIZATION
➢ Relevant Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) shall be retained on Site in custody of the HSE
Department.
➢ Work Permit would be obtained (when required) prior to commencement of work on site.
➢ All necessary PPE would be provided and used accordingly at all times.
❖ MOBILIZATION JOB PERFORMERS (Workers/ Technicians)
➢ Ensures that he is aware of Company’s HSE rules and regulations, work procedures, job locations,
equipment to be worked on, tools and equipment to be used and defining the anticipated start and
finish time/date and no. of days
➢ Ensure that no other activity/tool is performed/used except as specifically described on the
PTW/Certificate
➢ Implements the Work Site Precautions to be taken by the Job Performer as identified by the Area
Authority on the PTW/Certificate
➢ Remains at the worksite during the duration of the work and obtains Area Authority/Issuing
Authority Signature if Job Performer replacement is required
➢ Adheres to and maintains the worksite precautions identified by the Area Authority on the
PTW/Certificate throughout the duration of the job.
➢ Immediately suspends work in the event of the Emergency Siren or general Alarm being
activated
➢ Returns the permit to the Permit Office on suspension of work, at end of the working day, or on
completion of the work.
➢ On completion or suspension of the job he must ensure that the work site is left in a clean-clear
and safe condition
❖ SAFE WORK PROCEDURES WHILE SITE MOBILIZATION
➢ Mobilization sites are dangerous places to work.

➢ Follow these 10 simple construction site safety rules to keep yourself, and others safe from wearing
your PPE, to following procedures, you can help make your site a safer place to work, and prevent
accidents.
1. Wear your PPE at all times
➢ When you enter the site, make sure you have the PPE you need. PPE is important, it's your last
line of defense should you come into contact with a hazard on site. Hi-Viz helps make sure you
are seen. Safety boots give you grip and protect your feet. Hard hats are easily replaced, but your
skull isn't.
2. Do not start work without an induction
➢ Each site has its unique hazards and work operations. No two sites are exactly the same. Make
sure you know what is happening so that you can work safely. Inductions are a legal requirement
on every construction site you work on.
26
3. Keep a tidy site

➢ Construction work is messy. Slips and trips might not seem like a major problem compared to
other high-risk work happening on the site, but don't be fooled. According to HSE statistics, slips
and trips accounted for 30% of specified major injuries on construction sites. Remember to keep
your work area tidy throughout your shift to reduce the number of slip and trip hazards. Pay
particular attention to areas such as access and escape routes.
4. Do not put yourself or others at risk

➢ Actions speak louder than words. Especially on construction sites where one wrong move
could put you in harm's way. Set a good example, think safe and act safely on site. you are
responsible for your own behavior. Construction sites are dangerous places to work. Make sure
you remain safety aware throughout your shift.
5. Follow safety signs and procedures

➢ Follow construction safety signs and procedures. These should be explained to you in your
induction (rule number, your employer should ensure a risk assessment is carried out for your
activities. Make sure you read and understand it. Control measures are put in place for your
safety. Make sure they are in place and working before you start.
6. Never work in unsafe areas

➢ Make sure your work area is safe. Know what is happening around you.
Don’t work at height without suitable guard rails or other fall prevention. Don’t enter unsupported
trenches. Make sure you have safe access. Don’t work below crane loads or other dangerous
operations
7. Report defects and near misses

➢ If you notice a problem, don’t ignore it, report it to your supervisor immediately. Fill out a
near-miss report, an incident report, or simply tell your supervisor. Whatever the procedure in
place on your site for reporting issues, use it. Action can only be taken quickly if the management
has been made aware of the problem. The sooner problems are resolved the less chance for an
accident to occur.
8. Never tamper with equipment

➢ If somethings not working, or doesn't look right, follow rule number 7 and report it. Don't try
and force something, or alter something, if you're trained to or supposed to. Never remove guard
rails or scaffold ties. Do not remove machine guards. Do not attempt to fix defective equipment
unless you are competent to do so. Do not ever tamper with equipment without authorization.
9. Use the right equipment

➢ One tool does not fit all. Using the correct tool for the job will get it done quicker, and most
importantly, safer. Visually check equipment is in good condition and safe to use before you start.
27
10. If in doubt, ask

➢ Unsure what to do? Or how to do something safely? Or you think something is wrong? Stop
work, and ask. It takes 5 minutes to check, but it might not be so easy to put things right if things
go wrong. It's better to be safe than sorry. Mistakes on construction sites can cost lives, don’t let it
be yours. If you need help or further information speak to your supervisor.

➢ HAZARD ANALYSIS/RISK ASSESSMENTS/FALL HAZARD ASSESSMENTS

The Obvious hazard when working at heights is Falling from heights, there are end number of ways
to control the risk of falling from height, the way to control this risk of fall will also vary from job
to job when taking into consideration what is it that needs to be protected from falling, humans or
materials, falling objects is a big hazard when working at heights. Good housekeeping practices are
30
the most effective way of preventing small objects from falling. You can control this hazard in so
many different ways for example:
* All tools can be tethered with lanyards and secured to prevent falling
• Can ensure the work area is encapsulated so no items can fall past the barrier
• Can ensure work area fully covered to prevent any objects falling through grid mesh or gaps to
lower levels
• Can set up exclusion zones and barricade the area below and around
• In Demolition work activities we can plan the order in which the items should be removed to
protect remaining items becoming unstable and falling
13. Lifting Operation Procedures / Plan
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to define requirements and testing and controls of Lifting Operation
Procedures / Plan in NAPCO Project facilities. This procedure is to be used by Main Contractors,
subcontractors, vendors, consultants, visitors or other service organizations having a relationship with
NAPCO Projects.
2. SCOPE
This section includes guidelines and requirements applicable for lifting operation and describes the
planning and documentation required to perform a lifting operation.
3. LIFTING OPERATION SAFETY PROGRAM
3.1 Responsibilities
Management
▪ Make determinations of lifting operation

▪ Provide supervisor & employee training
• Provide safe and proper equipment for lifting operation

• Provide inspection procedures
Supervisors
• Follow guidelines and inspection procedures

• Supervise all lifting operations
• Ensure employees have adequate operational knowledge & experience
• Immediately remove from service any equipment that fails inspection
31
Employees
• Follow lifting & rigging procedures

• Immediately report any problems with equipment of procedures
• Not attempt any lifting operation unless authorized & approved
3.2 Lifting Operation Determination
The decision to designate a lift as a lifting operation is a management decision. Guidelines provided here
are intended to aid in making that decision. A lift should be designated as a lifting operation if dropping,
upset or collision could cause or result in any one of the following:
1. Damage that would result in serious economic consequences.

2. Damage that would result in unacceptable delay to schedule or other significant deleterious
programmatic impact (such as loss of vital data)
3. Undetectable damage that would jeopardize future operations or safety of a facility.
4. Significant release of radioactive or other hazardous material to the environment or creation of an
undesirable condition.
5. Personnel injury or significant adverse health impact, either onsite or offsite.
6. In addition, a lift that meets one of the following criteria shall be designated as a lifting operation:
a. Any lift that requires the use of multiple cranes.
b. Any lift that exceeds 80% of the crane’s rated capacity within the lift configuration of the
crane.
c. The item to be lifted requires exceptional care in handling because of size, weight, close-
tolerance installation, high susceptibility to damage or other unusual factor.
d. The item, although non-critical, requires exceptional care in handling because it is being
lifted above a critical item.
The competent person who has the responsibility for the item being lifted has the authority to require
that it be handled as a lifting operation. In addition, the competent person at the facility where the lift
will be performed also has the authority to require that it be handled as a lifting operation. The
competent person who designates the lift as a lifting operation shall ensure that a Person-In-Charge
(PIC) is assigned.
3.3 Lifting Operation Procedures
The PIC shall ensure that a step-by-step procedure is prepared for lifting operation. Although
individual procedures are prepared for one-time operation, general procedures may be employed to
accomplish routine recurrent lifting operation. For example, a general procedure may be used to lift
an item or series of similar items that are frequently lifted or repeatedly handled in the same manner.
A lifting operation procedure should contain the following, as applicable:
a) Identify the items to be moved.
b) Special precautions, if any (such as outrigger or track cribbing for mobile cranes).
32
c) Weight of the item and total weight of the load (For mobile cranes, see the manufacturer’s
instructions regarding components and attachments that must be considered as part of the load).
d) Center of gravity location.
e) A list of each piece of equipment (e.g., crane, hoist, fork truck), accessory, and rigging component
(e.g., slings, shackles, spreader bars, yokes) to be used for the lift. (This list shall identify each piece
of equipment by type and rated capacity).
f) Designated checkpoints and hold points and estimated instrument readings, as relevant, so that job
progress can be checked against the plan.
NOTE: Sign-offs in the procedure is generally appropriate. For example, initial and time/date the
procedure as key steps are completed. Hold points or sign-off points should be provided for personnel
assigned to witness the work.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CRANE TEST CERTIFICATES
A current and valid test certificate, stating that the equipment has satisfactorily completed the required
performance tests, shall be provided for all cranes and other hoisting equipment.
The test certificates shall be validated by the equipment manufacturer or a qualified person representing
an approved testing agency and shall be retained on site.
Any hoisting equipment found to be defective after arrival on site shall be immediately removed from
service until the defects are corrected.
A regular periodic inspection schedule for cranes and other hoisting equipment shall be established on
site. The inspections shall be conducted at 6 months intervals by a qualified person representing an
approved testing agency.
Any such equipment that has undergone a major alteration or replacement shall be inspected by an
approved testing agency and certified as safe, prior to use.
Certification requirements shall include:
a) any equipment where load sustaining parts have been altered, repaired, or replaced;
b) any equipment that has been re-rated
c) all running and standing ropes on equipment, prior to the equipment being placed into service;
d) hoisting drums shall, also, be included in the testing;
33
e) any replacement wire ropes installed on hoisting equipment.
Cranes required for use with manipulators, working platforms, man baskets and other devices attached to
the Crane Boom Head shall be tested with the attached device connected.
5. INSPECTION OF MOBILE CRANES (CRAWLER, TRUCK, & WHEEL- MOUNTED CRANES)

Daily inspections on each crane in use shall be conducted by the crane operators. Inspections shall include
the wire ropes on the crane.
Inspection reports shall be signed by the crane operator and any defects shall be reported immediately.
Periodic Inspections
Periodic inspections shall be carried out by a qualified person from an approved testing agency and shall
include the wire ropes on the crane.
The inspection reports shall be compiled and signed by the qualified person and any defects noted in the
report shall be corrected by the site.
Inspections of Sub-Contractors' Cranes
Sub-contractors on the Project shall be responsible for arranging all inspections and testing on their cranes
and shall submit inspection and test reports to ABV Rock Group Co. Ltd.
The ABV Rock Group Co. Ltd Site Safety Department shall monitor sub-contractors' compliance with
these requirements and report any discrepancies to the ABV Rock Group Co. Ltd.
6. SAFE MAINTENANCE OF MOBILE CRANES
A safe preventive maintenance program based on the crane manufacturer's recommendation shall be
established. Records of maintenance shall be kept and all adjustments and repairs to cranes carried out
by competent persons.
34
Before adjustments and repairs are started on a crane, the precautions detailed in the following
paragraphs shall be taken.
The crane shall be placed where it shall cause the least interference with other equipment or operations
in the area.
All controls shall be in the off position and all operative features secured from inadvertent motion by
brakes, pawls, or other means.
The starting means shall be rendered inoperative.
The power unit shall be stopped or disconnected.
The boom shall be lowered to the ground, if possible, or otherwise secured against dropping.
The lower load block shall be lowered to the ground or otherwise secured against dropping.
The pressure shall be relieved from all hydraulic circuits before loosening or removing hydraulic
components.
"Warning" and "Out of Order" signs shall be placed on crane controls and signs removed only by
authorized persons and lock out procedures used when required.
After adjustments and repairs have been made, the crane shall not be returned to service until all guards
have been reinstalled, trapped air removed from the hydraulic system, safety devices reactivated, and
maintenance equipment removed.
The manufacturer's boom assembly and disassembly procedures should be followed. Any deviation from
the manufacturer's procedure shall require blocking of the boom or boom sections to prevent inadvertent
dropping of the boom. When removing pins or bolts from a boom, workers should stay out from under
the boom.
35
14.FALL PROTECTION
Hierarchy of Fall Protection
OSHA has identified a hierarchy of fall protection controls, from most effective to least
effective. The hierarchy includes;
• Elimination. Removing the need to work at an elevated height above the working surface such as
welding operation. Most effective control.
• Passive fall protection. Using physical barriers such as guardrails to prevent a fall.
• Fall restraint systems. Using positioning and fall restraint systems that restrict movement to prevent
a fall.
• Fall arrest systems Use of full-body harness systems or safety nets, that work together to break a
fall.
• Administrative controls. The use of policies, procedures, practices, training, and warnings to restrict
worker actions and increase awareness of fall hazards. Least effective control.
In general, it is better to use fall prevention systems, such as guardrails, than fall protection systems,
such as safety nets/fall arrest devices. That’s because prevention systems prevent falls from occurring in
the first place.
Basics of Scaffold Safety

• A competent person must be available to direct workers who are constructing or moving scaffolds.
The competent person must also train workers, and inspect the scaffold and its components before
every work shift, and after any event that could affect the structural integrity of the scaffold. A
qualified person is someone who has very specific knowledge or training, and is responsible for the
proper design the scaffold and its rigging.
• Every supported scaffold and its components must support, without failure, its weight and at least
four times the intended load. The intended load is the sum of the weights of all personnel, tools and
materials that will be placed on the scaffold.
• On supported scaffolds, working platforms/decks must be planked close to the guardrails. Planks are
to be overlapped on a support at least six inches, but not more than 12 inches.
• Inspections of supported scaffolds must include:
1: Checking metal components for bends, cracks, holes, rust, welding splatter, pits, broken welds
and non-compatible parts.
2: Covering and securing floor openings and labeling floor opening covers.
• Each rope on a suspended scaffold must support the scaffold’s weight and at least six times the
intended load.
• Scaffold platforms must be at least 18 inches wide; guardrails must be between 39 and 45 inches
high; and midrails must be installed approximately halfway between the toprail and the platform
surface.
36
• OSHA standard requires employers to provide workers with fall protection when working on a scaffold
1.8 mts or more feet above a lower level. OSHA requires the following:
1.The use of a guardrail OR a personal fall arrest system when working on a supported scaffold.
2.BOTH a guardrail AND a personal fall arrest system when working on a single-point or two-point
suspended scaffold.
3.A personal fall arrest system when working on an aerial lift.
• Your lifeline must be tied back to a structural anchorage capable of withstanding 5,000 lbs of dead
weight per person tied off to it. Attaching your lifeline to a guardrail, a standpipe or other piping
systems will not meet the 5,000 lbs. requirement and is not a safe move.
• Wear hard hats, and make sure there are toe boards, screens, and debris nets in place to protect
other people from falling objects.
• Employees must provide safe access to the scaffold when a platform is more than two (2) feet
above or below the point of access, or when you need to step across more than 14 inches to get on
the platform. Climbing on cross braces is not allowed! Ladders, stair towers, ramps, and walkways
are some of the ways of providing safe access.
• All workers must be trained on:
1 how to use the scaffold, and how to recognize hazards associated with the type of scaffold
they are working on;
2 the maximum intended load and capacity;
3 how to recognize and report defects;
4 fall hazards, falling object hazards and any other hazards that may be encountered,
including electrical hazards (such as overhead power lines); and
5 having proper fall protection systems in place.
15.Accident, Incident Investigations

.
All accidents, incidents, and near misses shall be investigated. Investigations of recordable cases include a
“Root Cause Analysis” and measures that will be implemented to prevent similar incidents.
All incidents/accidents of the following, which occur at or in association with the Project, will be
thoroughly investigated
The accident investigation process we will discuss in this course will make sense if you understand that
ultimately, the purpose of the investigation is to improve the safety management system. Conducting the
investigation for any other reason will likely result in ineffective solutions. In this course, we'll introduce
a six-step process for conducting accident investigations
37
Step 1: Secure the Accident Scene
The first step in an effective accident investigation procedure is to secure the accident scene as
soon as possible so that we can accurately gather facts. At this point, you are not yet interested
in what "caused" the accident. Instead, you should focus on making the accident scene secure
so that you can gather as much pertinent information as possible.
To secure the accident scene, simply use yellow caution tape, place warning cones, or post a
guard to keep people away
Step 2: Documenting the Accident Scene

Once the accident scene has been roped off, it's important to immediately begin gathering evidence from
as many sources as possible during an investigation. You want to gather data that will help you determine
what happened, how it happened, and why it happened
You won't be able to document the scene effectively unless you come prepared, so make sure you have
put together an accident investigation kit for use during the investigation. As you'll learn, there are many
ways to document the scene, so it may become quite difficult for one person to effectively complete all
actions
The most effective strategy is to document as much as possible, even if you don't think the information
may be relevant. It's easy to discard clues or leads later if they prove to not be useful to the investigation.
It's not at all easy to dig up material evidence late into the investigation
• Make personal observation: With clipboard in hand, take notes on
personal observations. Try to involve all of your senses (sight, hearing,
smell, etc.).
• Get initial written statements: If you are fortunate, there will be one or more
eyewitnesses to the accident. Ask them for an initial statement giving a description
ofthe accident.
• Take photos and videos: When taking photos, make sure you start with distance shots, and
gradually move in closer as you take the photos. Take photos from different angles Use rulers to
size objects. Identify what is being photographed. When taking video, tryto get witnesses to
describe what happened
• Sketch the scene: Sketches are very important because they complement the information in
photos, and are good at indicating distances between the various elements of the accident. This
is important to do because it establishes "position evidence." It is important to be as precise as
possible when making sketches. The sketch to the right illustrates the Triangulation Method
which makes it possible to later pinpoint the exact location of an object. Notice the small circles
with horizontal lines through them. These circles indicate where photos were taken. Also, North
is indicated and all major objects are identified.
38
• Interview records: That's right. Don't just review the records. Ask questions and
theywill give you answers. Records include training records, preventive/corrective
maintenance reports, Job Hazard Analyses, standard operation procedures, work
schedules, and previous hazard reports, etc.
Step 3: Conduct Interviews
• After you have initially documented the accident scene, the next step is to start digging
for additional details by conducting interviews. This activity is perhaps the most
difficult part of an investigation. The purpose of the accident investigation interview is
to obtain an accurate and comprehensive picture of what happened. Remember, you're
conducting an accident investigation, not a criminal investigation. The last thing to do
in the interview is to come downhard (be accusatory) on an interview
So let's take a look at some effective techniques that will assure you get the facts. An
important aspect of your job, as the interviewer, is to construct a composite story or
"word picture" of what happened using the various accounts of the accident and other
evidence. So, let's review some effective interviewing techniques
• Tell the interviewee the purpose of the interview is to get facts, not place blame.
• Do not interview more than one person at a time. The facts change when others
are listening.
• Ask for background information. Then, simply have the witness tell you what
happened. Let them talk, and you just listen.
• Don't ask them "if" they can explain what happened, because they may respond
with asimple "no," and that's that.
• Go to the scene to interview if you can. If you can't, find an office or meeting room
that the interviewee considers a "neutral" location.
• Put the person at ease. Explain the purpose and your role. Sincerely express
concern regarding the accident and desire to prevent a similar occurrence.
• Be friendly, understanding, and open minded. Be calm and unhurried.
39
• Don't ask leading questions; don't interrupt; and don't make expressions (facial,
verbal of approval or disapproval).
• Do ask open-ended questions and avoid closed-ended questions that require a

simpleyes and no answer.
• Avoid asking "why-you" questions as these type of questions tend to make

peoplerespond defensively.
• Repeat the facts and sequence of events back to the person to avoid
any misunderstandings.
• Take notes. Let the individual read your notes so that they can
correct inaccuracies
• Don't record the interview unless you get permission.
• If the interviewee wants to have someone witness the interview, that's fine.
• Ask for the interviewee's opinion about what can be done to prevent another accident.
• Thank the interviewee and ask them to contact you if they think of anything else
that might be helpful.
Step 4: Develop Sequence of Events
So far, you have collected a lot of factual data and it's strewn all over your desk. The
task now is to turn that data into useful information. You've got to somehow take this
data and make some sense of it.
Assessment vs. Analysis
It's important to know that you're not gathering all of this information just to
conduct an assessment of what was and was not present immediately prior to the
accident. You're actually conducting an analysis to determine specifically how
surface causes (behaviors and conditions), and the underlying root causes (system
weaknesses) contributed to the accident. To better understand this, let's take a closer
look at what the process of "analysis" is.
40
Analysis Defined
Webster defines analysis as the, "separation of an intellectual or substantial whole

into its parts for individual study."
The accident is a complicated process of individual events leading up to and

including the main event. When an accident occurs, we need to separate or "break
down" the "whole" accident into its component "parts" for study to determine how
they contributed to the accident: the main event.
The accident investigator's challenge is to effectively assess each event to
identify the presenceor absence of behaviors and conditions, and then analyze
those behaviors and conditions in each event to determine if and how they
contributed to the accident. To do this we need to make some basic assumptions
about the factors that cause or contribute to accidents.
Analyzing Each Event
In developing a sequence of events, the challenge is to take the information

gathered and arrange it so that we can accurately determine what initial
conditions and/or actions transformed the planned work process into an
unintended accident process.
Developing the Sequence
Our challenge at this point in the investigation process is to accurately arrange

the events to determine their correct sequence leading up to the accident so that
we can more effectively understand why the accident event, itself, happened.
Once the sequence of events is developed, we can then study each event in the
sequence to determine the related causal factors below.
• Hazardous conditions: Objects and physical states that directly caused or

contributed to the accident.
• Unsafe behaviors: Actions taken/not taken that directly caused or

contributed to theaccident.
System weaknesses: Underlying inadequate or missing policies, programs,

plans,processes, procedures and practices that contributed to the accident
41
Step 5: Conduct Cause Analysis

You've completed the initial step of the accident analysis by gathering information
and using it to break the accident down into an accurate sequence of events. You
have a good mental picture of what happened. Now it's time to continue the analysis
process by completing each ofthe following three phases of analysis to determine
what caused those events. This module will introduce us to three phases of analysis:
• Phase 1: Injury Analysis: It's important to understand, we're not analyzing the
accidentin this phase: we are analyzing precisely what happened during the
accident event to identify the type of harmful energy involved (electrical,
mechanical, thermal, etc.) and how the harmful transfer of this energy (an action)
caused the injury or illness. Remember, the outcome of the accident process is an
injury or illness
• Phase 2: Surface Cause Analysis: In this next phase in the analysis process, you
determine how the hazardous conditions and unsafe behaviors described in each of
theevents interact to produce the accident. The hazardous conditions and unsafe
behaviorsuncovered are the surface causes for the accident and give clues that point
to possible system weaknesses.
• Phase 3: Root Cause Analysis: During this phase of the analysis process, you're
analyzing the weaknesses in the Safety Management System SMS that contributed
to the accident. You can usually uncover weaknesses related to inadequate safety
policies,programs, plans, processes, or procedures. Root causes always pre-exist
surface causes and may function through poor component design to allow,
promote, encourage, or even require systems that result in hazardous conditions
and unsafe behaviors.
Step 6: Determine Solutions
In this step we propose recommendations that include effective immediate

corrective actions and system improvements that, when applied effectively, can
transform the investigation into valuable "proactive" process that helps to prevent
future injuries. It's important to divide yourrecommendations into the categories
below:
42
1. Immediate or short-term corrective actions to eliminate or reduce the

hazardous conditions and/or unsafe behaviors related to the accident.
2. Long-term system improvements to create or revise existing safety policies,

programs, plans, processes, procedures and practices identified as missing or
inadequate in the investigation.
Some employers may assign the responsibility for making recommendations to safety
directorsor other managers. However, you, as the accident investigator, may be required to
take on this very important responsibility. Consequently, it's a good idea to know where to
start, and how to write strong recommendations
Step 7: Write the Report
Now that you have accurately assessed and analyzed the facts related to the accident and
developed effective corrective actions and system improvements, you must report your
findings to those who have the authority to take action.
43

observed nonconformities.
Reactive Monitoring: CREET will use measuring safety performance by reference to accidents,
incidents and ill-health that have already occurred. Reactive measures therefore include measures of
incident types and frequency rates, sickness absence rates, number of reported near miss events and
property damage incidents, etc. CREET will look at thing (input) that contribute to effective health and
safety management system.
Good indicators are:
45
• Objectives
• Near miss
• Incident

The Workplace Safety Refresher Training Library includes refresher courses to retrain those
employees who have already been through our full Workplace Safety Training. This library
will increase awareness of general safety practices and achieve compliance with national
OSHA and state workplace safety rules and regulations.
49
17.1 BEHAVIOR BASED SAFETY TRAININGS
Most behavioral safety processes are tailored to the work and management environment of
the site. Despite these variations, all behavioral safety processes have three major
components:
• Development of a list of at-risk behaviors,

• Observations, and
• Feedback.
This procedure will provide a description of the basic process of setting up and running a
behavioral safety program and give some variations that have worked in different job sites
• The process starts with a behavioral hazard analysis to identify at-risk behaviors. These
can be determined using accident/incident reports, job hazards analysis, employee
interviews, and brainstorming. In some instances, a combination of all these tools could be
used.
• Using the at-risk behaviors, a checklist will be developed to assist in the observation of
work behavior. In addition, a list of corresponding behavior definitions will be developed
to help in maintaining consistency between observers and the resulting data. Observers
record safe and at-risk behaviors on the datasheet and provide feedback to workers about
their performance.
• The observer will start the review of the observation with positive comments. This will
reinforce safe behaviors that were observed.
• The observer will than discuss what was unsafe and solicit explanations for the observed
unsafe acts from the observed employee with open ended questions.
• The observer will then re-emphasize that there is no consequence to observed employee.
This feedback reinforces the necessity for safe behaviors.
• The observation data is used to identify barriers to safe behavior. Removing these barriers
lowers the workers’ exposure to at-risk conditions and makes it easier for employees to
work safely. Removing barriers and communicating successes increase employee
involvement in the process. Many of these employees take these tools home, which helps
decrease off-the-job injuries.
50
18. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
Planning shall begin before any work commences on the project. Although there may be
little time between the award of the contract and the start of the project, a good emergency
response plan can be generic and, with some minor changes, can be easily adapted to specific
sites and readily implemented. This is especially the case where a constructor specializes in
similar types of projects.
Development should include the following considerations:
1) hazard identification/assessment
2) emergency resources
3) communication systems
4) administration of the plan
5) emergency response procedure
6) communication of the procedure
7) debriefing and post-traumatic stress procedure.
Each of these points is explained in the following sections.
➢ Hazard Identification/Assessment
The process of hazard identification and assessment involves a thorough review that should
include, but not be limited to, the following points: • transportation, materials handling,
hoisting, equipment or product installation, temporary structures, material storage, start-up,
and commissioning activities • environmental concerns • consultation with the client
regarding potential hazards when working in or adjacent to operating facilities • resources
such as material safety data sheets (MSDSs) to determine potential hazards from on-site
materials • proximity to traffic and public ways.
Because construction sites are frequently fast-changing, the process of hazard assessment
must be ongoing to accommodate the dynamic environment. Once hazards are identified,
the next task is to assess the potential or risk involved in each. For each hazard identified,
ask: • What can go wrong? • What are the consequences? For each potential hazard it is
important to identify resources necessary for an appropriate emergency response. For most
events in construction, a simple analysis based on the experience of the people involved on
the project is likely sufficient.
➢ Emergency Resources
It is important to identify which resources are available and have contingency plans in place
to make up for any deficiencies.
The most important resource on most projects will be a 911 system. Other on-site resources
such as fire extinguishers, spills containment equipment, and first aid kits must be
maintained and clearly identified. Construction equipment may be included among potential
emergency resources. Personnel, especially on-site medical staff or workers trained in first
aid, should be included in the plan.
51
There may be situations where outside resources are so far away that an adequate response
is not possible. In these situations, resources may have to be obtained and kept on site.
Examples would include fire protection or ambulance/medical resources in remote areas.
Whatever the situation may be, people, equipment, facilities, and materials are needed for
emergency response. Where they will come from must be determined in advance. Moreover,
the people supplying these resources must be made aware of their role in the plan.
➢ Designate Evacuation Wardens
In addition to a coordinator, you may want to designate evacuation wardens to help move employees
from danger to safe areas during an emergency. Generally, one warden for every 20 employees
should be adequate, and the appropriate number of wardens should be available at all times during
working hours.
Employees designated to assist in emergency evacuation procedures should be trained in the complete
workplace layout and various alternative escape routes. All employees and those designated to assist
in emergencies should be made aware of employees with special needs who may require extra
assistance, how to use the buddy system, and hazardous areas to avoid during an emergency
evacuation
➢ Communication Systems
An important key to effective emergency response is a communications system that can relay
accurate information quickly. To do this, reliable communications equipment must be used,
procedures developed, and personnel trained. It is a good idea to have a backup system in
place, in case the system is rendered useless by the emergency. For example, telephone lines
may be cut.
The type and location of emergency communication systems must be posted on the project.
This will include location of telephones, a list of site personnel with cellular phones or two-
way radios, and any other equipment available. Emergency phone numbers and the site
address/location should be posted beside all site phones. On large sites, the location of
emergency phones must be clearly marked. The poster Emergency Response (P103),
available from CSAO, can be used to record this and other information.
A communication system must be made up of strategically placed equipment and properly

defined responsibilities. The emergency response plan posted in a conspicuous place on the
project must identify the designated equipment and the people to operate it.
52
➢ Administration of the Plan
The task of administering and organizing the plan is vital to its effectiveness. The person
who has this task will normally be the person in charge of the emergency response operation.
It is their task to ensure
• that everyone clearly understands their roles and responsibilities within the emergency
response plan (a chart may be helpful in this regard)
• that emergency resources, whether people or equipment, are kept at adequate levels in step
with the progress of the project.
It is very important to review the emergency plan on a regular basis and especially after an
emergency has occurred. Changes may be necessary where deficiencies became apparent as
the plan went into operation.
➢ Emergency Response Procedure
An emergency can be reported from any source—a worker on site, an outside agency, or the
public. Remember that circumstances may change during the course of an emergency. Any
procedures you develop must be able to respond to the ongoing situation.
The following list covers basic actions to take in an emergency. These steps apply to almost
any emergency and should be followed in sequence.
• Stay calm.
• Assess the situation
• Take command
• Provide protection
• Aid and manage.
• Maintain contacts.
• Guide emergency services
Stay calm –
Your example can influence others and thereby aid the emergency response.
Assess the situation –

Determine what happened and what the emergency is. Look at the big picture. What has
happened to whom and what will continue to happen if no action is taken? Try to identify
the cause that must be controlled to eliminate immediate, ongoing, or further danger.
Take command –
The most senior person on the scene should take charge and call, or delegate someone to
call, emergency services—generally 911—and explain the situation. Assign tasks for
controlling the emergency. This action also helps to maintain order and prevent panic
53
Provide protection –
Eliminate further losses and safeguard the area. Control the energy source 6 causing the
emergency. Protect victims, equipment, materials, environment, and accident scene from
continuing damage or further hazards. Divert traffic, suppress fire, prevent objects from
falling, shut down equipment or utilities, and take other necessary measures. Preserve the
accident scene; only disturb what is essential to maintain life or relieve human suffering and
prevent immediate or further losses.
Aid and manage –

Provide first aid or help those already doing so. Manage personnel at the scene. Organize
the workforce for both a headcount and emergency assignments. Direct all workers to a safe
location or command post. This makes it easier to identify the missing, control panic, and
assign people to emergency duties. Dispatch personnel to guide emergency services on
arrival.
Maintain contact –
Keep emergency services informed of situation. Contact utilities such as gas and hydro
where required. Alert management and keep them informed. Exercise increasing control
over the emergency until immediate hazards are controlled or eliminated and causes can be
identified.
Guide emergency services –

Meet services on site. Lead them to emergency scene. Explain ongoing and potential
hazards and cause(s), if known.
Communication of the Procedure
To be effective, an Emergency Response Procedure must be clearly communicated to all site

personnel. The following activities should be considered:
• Review the procedure with new site subcontractors and new workers to ensure that it covers
their activities adequately.
• Review the procedure with suppliers to ensure that it covers any hazards that the storage
or delivery of their materials might create.
• Review new work areas in operating plants with owner/client to ensure that new hazards
are identified and covered in the procedure.
• Review the procedure with the Joint Health and Safety Committee or Health and Safety
Representative on a regular basis to address new hazards or significant changes in site
conditions.
• Post the procedure in a conspicuous location.
The Emergency Response Procedure for a construction project must continually undergo
review and revision to meet changing conditions.
54
Debriefing and Post-Traumatic Stress Procedure

The recovery process, or what happens after the emergency response has been completed, is
a critical step in the plan.
Many emergency tasks may be handled by people who are not accustomed to dealing with
emergencies. People may have seen their work partners and friends badly injured and
suffering great pain.
Once the emergency is over, the attitude should not be “Okay, let’s get back to work” or
“Let’s go home.” Some of the people involved may need assistance in order to recover. In
some cases professional counselling may be needed. As part of site emergency planning,
construction companies should have measures in place to deal with post-traumatic stress.
For more information, refer to the brochure Post-Traumatic Stress (F013), available from
CSAO. Local hospitals, ambulance services, and medical practitioners may also be able to
help.
Debriefing is necessary to review how well the plan worked in the emergency and to correct
any deficiencies that were identified. Debriefing is critical to the success of future emergency
response planning.
SUMMARY
Slow response, lack of resources, or the absence of trained personnel will lead to chaos in
an emergency. To minimize human suffering and financial losses, all personnel must know
their responsibilities under the emergency response plan.
Remember –
planning for emergencies should include the following points:
1) hazard identification/assessment
2) emergency resources
3) communication systems
4) administration of the plan
5) emergency response procedure
6) communication of the procedure
7) debriefing and post-traumatic stress procedure.
The plan should be used to set emergency procedures, implement and communicate the
procedures, and ensure that any required training has been completed. The plan should also
be evaluated regularly to ensure that it conforms to current operations and conditions.
In any Emergency Response Procedure, the following steps are basic and essential:
• Stay calm
. • Assess the situation.
• Take command.
55
• Provide protection.
• Aid and manage.
• Maintain contact.
• Guide emergency services.

19. SAFETY MEASURES FOR SITE ACTIVITIES
➢ HAND TOOLS
The following precautionary measures will be taken to avoid accidents while doing the work
with the help of Hand Tools:
• Adequate cover of tools (the protective covering of tools must not be removed)
• Adequate lighting.
• All electrical tools will have on it the following information:
• Identify / Reference number.
• Type of tool hand saw, drill, grinder, etc.
• Date the last inspection
• Date next inspection is due
• Electrical tools will be inspected and thoroughly examined at regular intervals by
58
persons who are appropriately and authorized. Record of such inspections must be in
a register.
• Electrical tools will be secured against accidental or unauthorized use or movement.
• Electrical tools will be shut down when not in use.
• Using the wrong tool for the job Using tools incorrectly.
• Failing to wear PPE Will never be lifted tools by their cords.
• Before plugging or unplugging tools will be sure to turn the power switch to off.
• Always will be use 3d ground-fault circuit interrupters.
• The eyes will be protected for debris flying of saws, drills, grinders.
• Cleaning / repairing of tools will never do unless the power is disconnected.
• Resting tools on a flat surface when working on ladder or scaffolding.
• Not wear rings, loose clothing.
• Only a suitable tool will be used for the specific purpose. Hand tools will be used in
the safe way.
• Defective tools will not be used.
• Keep tools in good condition and in a safe place. It must be kept in cabinets, holders
or shelves or in a toolbox.
• Always use proper personal protective equipment.
• Non-sparking tools will be used in explosive atmospheres.
• When not in use, sharp-edged or sharp pointed hand tools will be provided with
protection for the edges or points. The sharp-edged tools such, as knife, chisel etc.,
should never put in pocket without proper shield.
• After using tools, it will never be left at the top of the ladder, workplace or workbench
since they may fall accidentally.
THE PORTABLE ELECTRIC POWER TOOLS:
Will be used on the correct power supply as instructed on manufacture’s manual, Cables,
plug and sockets, tools etc., will be inspected and tested regularly,
One tool will be connected to one plug at a time,
Will be disconnected from the circuit when not in use,
Will be connected with suitable plug and socket instead of tapping the supply by connecting
two wires.
Will be connected to earth unless the equipment is double insulated or all insulated.
Overloading will not be allowed.
Portable Ladders – Control & Inspection

This procedure outlines general information on specifications, inspections and care of
portable ladders on the sites. It shall ensure all ladders are inspected monthly and that they
are kept in a safe condition. Site supervisor shall appoint competent people to inspect
ladders, maintain inspection records and make the records available upon request Two or
more people are not permitted to work from the same ladder unless it is specifically
designed for two people. Safety instructions should be given before employees use a two-
person step ladder. Splice a 13 mm (1/2 in) rope to the top back rung of stepladders or to
59
the third rung from the top of straight and extension ladders to provide a tie-off rope when
the ladder is set up. Do not use metal ladders around electrical services or welding.
Climbing trestle ladders is not permitted. Many specialty Subcontractors use trestle ladders
and extension trestle ladders as a tool of their trade; however, trestle ladders are not
designed for climbing. When using trestle ladders for scaffold board supports, a separate
ladder is to be used to access the scaffold deck. Ladders shall always be used at an angle
of 75%. Ladders shall not be used in a vertical position. Makeshift wooden ladders and
painted wooden ladders shall not be used. When not secured at the top, ladders will be
properly anchored at the base to prevent the footings from slipping and a second person
shall hold the ladder firm in place while being used. When ladders are being used for
accessing at the same point more than once, it shall be properly secured at the top and
extend at least one meter above the landing or work surface. Ladders shall always be
supported on the ground or floor but never hung. Ladders shall always be used at an angle
of 75%
Screwdrivers
It is essential that a screwdriver have the correct size of tip to fit the slot of the screw. If the screwdriver
fits the screw correctly, the screw will be drawn into the correct position without unnecessary force being
applied. Over-tightening of screws can lead to possible hand injury if the screwdriver slips. Screwdriver
shanks are not designed to withstand the twisting strain applied by a pair of pliers or mole grips in order to
obtain additional leverage. On no account should screwdriver handles be subjected to blows from a hammer
or similar instrument. Screwdrivers should never be carried in the pockets of coveralls or other clothing. A
screwdriver can produce a serious wound.
Hammer
It is essential that the right kind of hammer be selected for the job. Hammer handles should be made from
smooth timber or be made of an integral head and shaft of steel. Hammerheads should be secured to
wooden handles with proper wedges.
Chisels
Cutting edges should be kept sharp at all times, and the original shape and angle should be maintained. Re-
sharpened cold chisels should be suitably hardened and tempered to maintain them in a safe working
condition. The chisel heads will mushroom in use. As soon as mushrooming is observed, the head should
be reground with a slight taper around the edge to prevent chipping and reduce the tendency to re-
mushroom. Eye protection should be worn at all times when a cold chisel is used. On jobs where it is
necessary to use a sledgehammer for striking the chisel, the chisel should be held by a second person using
a pair of tongs. Wood chisels should also be maintained in a sharp condition so that minimum pressure is
exerted when making a cut. If the chisel is to be struck, only a wooden or soft mallet should be used.
Picks and Shovels
Picks and shovels shall at all times be maintained in a serviceable condition. Shovel blades should not be
allowed to become blunt, turned, split, or jagged. Pick head points should be kept sharp and heat-treated
60
so that the metal wears down in use and does not splinter or chip off. Shafts of picks and shovels should be
kept free from cracks and splinters.
Pipe Wrenches
Pipe wrenches must be large enough for the job. The jaw teeth must be kept clean and sharp, and the knurl,
pin, and spring should be kept free from damage. Pipe wrenches should never be struck with a hammer,
nor should they be used as a hammer.
Pliers
Pliers should only be used when there are no other tools for the job. They are meant only for gripping
around objects and should not be used as a wrench. Care should be taken when cutting soft metal with
pliers to ensure the scrap portion does not fly off and cause injury. If wire is cut under tension, then long
handled pliers should be used. Where pliers are used for electrical work, they must be fitted with insulated
handles. All pliers should be kept free from dirt and grit, and the movable parts should be lightly lubricated.
Jacks
Jacks should be marked with rated capacity and must be heavy enough and strong enough to raise and
maintain the load. They should be placed on a firm and solid support, and the load should be positioned on
the center line of the jack. Once a load has been raised, it must be shored or blocked. The jack should never
be relied upon to hold the raised load in position by itself. Extreme care should be taken when working
under or near a raised load.
Hacksaws
The correct type of blade should be selected to suit the material to be cut. The blade should be set in a
hacksaw frame so that the teeth are pointing in the forward direction, and sufficient tension should be
applied to ensure the blade is maintained rigid.
Handsaws
Many kinds of woodworking handsaws are available and care should be taken to select the correct saw. All
handsaws shall be regularly examined to ensure that the saw teeth are properly set so as to avoid binding
in the timber, which can cause the blade to buckle. The teeth should be kept sharp, clean, and lightly oiled.
When the saw is not in use, the blade should be protected by a slotted piece of timber or sheath. Two-man
saws should be operated by pulling only. The cut should be kept straight to avoid the blade buckling. The
cut should be wedged open to prevent the timber from pinching the blade.
➢ CONCRETE WORK
The basic Requirement for the Safety measures applicable for the workers in pouring concrete in a
daily task should include the wearing of following PPE:
• Safety Helmet.
• Safety Glasses.
• Safety Harness above 1.8 m.
61
• Gum Boot.
• Disposable cover all.
• Hand Gloves.
• High visibility nests.
Protect eyes and ears, nose and throat. All tools to be in good Condition
Refer to noise assessment sheet displayed on notice board.
Full clothing - no exposed skin. Wash all skin fully and contaminated clothing cleaned A Never crimp
live airlines with wire.
Turn off supply at source before disconnecting tool. Report any faults to your supervisor. Check
surrounding area for other operatives; make sure that flying debris will not reach them.
➢ Demolition work
❖ Preparation
Before the start of every demolition job, the demolition should take
a number of steps to safeguard the health and safety of workers at the job site.
These preparatory operations involve the overall planning of the demolitionjob, including:
The methods to be used to bring the structure down the equipment necessary to do the job
the measures to be taken to perform the work safely and plan for:
• The wrecking of the structure the equipment to do the work

• manpower requirements
• the protection of the public
• The safety of all workers on the job site should be a prime consideration.
➢ Engineering Survey
The most common citation issued was for failure to conduct an engineering survey to determine the
condition of the structure prior to demolition. This includes determining whether an unplanned
collapse of the building or any adjacent structure would injure those working in the vicinity. The
demolition contractor must maintain a written copy of this survey.
The engineering survey provides the demolition contractor with the opportunity to evaluate the job
in its entirety. The purpose of the engineering survey is to determine the condition of the framing,
floors, and walls so that measures can be taken, if necessary, to prevent the premature collapse of
any portion of the structure. All of the following should be addressed in the
survey:
➢ Competent person: Prior to starting all demolition operations, ensure a competent person
conducts anengineering survey of the structure.
➢ Adjacent structures: Check any adjacent structure(s) or improvements. Photographing existing
damage in neighboring structures is also advisable. The contractor should also plan for potential
hazards such as fires, cave-ins, and injuries.
62
➢ Damaged structures: If the structure has been damaged by fire, flood, explosion, or some other
cause, take
appropriate measures, including bracing and shoring of walls and floors, to protect workers and
any adjacent
structures.
➢ Hazardous substances: Determine if any type of hazardous chemicals, gases, explosives,

flammable materials, or similarly dangerous substances have been used in any pipes, tanks, or
other equipment on the property. When the presence of any such substances is apparent or
suspected, testing and purging must be performed and the hazard eliminated before demolition is
started.
➢ Protective equipment: Determine the safety equipment needs. In demolition operations, PPE may
include:
• eye, face, head, hand, and foot protection
• respiratory protection
• hearing protection
• personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) other protective clothing
➢ Engineering Survey Report

The engineering survey should result in a formal (written) report that should include each of the
following sections:
• building characteristics (i.e., construction type & structure size, height, structural hazards,
enclosed/confined spaces, wall ties, shoring types and locations)
• protection for adjacent structures methods for demolition
• methods to protect the public
• protection of utilities (overhead and underground)
• protection of above and below-ground tanks
• hazardous materials removal
• blasting requirements
➢ Primary Hazards
▪ The hazards unique to demolition include all of the following:
▪ Changes from the structure's design introduced during construction;
▪ Approved or unapproved modifications that
altered the original design;
▪ Materials hidden within structural members, such as
lead, asbestos, silica, and other chemicals or heavy
metals requiring special material handling
▪ Unknown strengths or weaknesses of construction
materials, such aspost-tensioned concrete;
▪ Hazards created by the demolition methods used such as exposure to
excessive dust, noise and vibration.
➢ Hazardous Material
Construction and demolition (C&D) materials consist of the debris generated during the
construction, renovation, and demolition of buildings, roads, and bridges. C&D materials often
contain bulky, heavy materials that include:
63
concrete
wood (from buildings)
asphalt (from roads and roofing shingles)
gypsum (the main component of drywall)
metals
bricks
glass
plastics
salvaged building components (doors, windows, and plumbing fixtures) trees, stumps, earth, and
rock from clearing sites such as lead, asbestos, silica, and other chemicals or heavy metals
requiring special material handling;
➢ Reporting
The development of a safety report specific to the demolition project is critical to planning the
project. The safety report should include, but is not limited to, the following components:
• an engineering survey completed by a competent person before any demolition work takes place
(including the condition of the structure and the possibility of an unplanned collapse)
• locating, securing, and/or relocating any nearby utilities
• fire prevention and evacuation plan
• emergency, first aid and security services
• an assessment of health hazards completed before any demolition work takes place.
• training requirements
➢ Masonry Works
• Avoid all contact with unhardened masonry cement
• Wear impervious clothing and gloves to eliminate the possibility of skin contact
• Always double-check the safety of portable electric tools
• Install sturdy work surfaces
• Wear sturdy safety shoes with anti-skid soles
• Wash hands thoroughly at the end of every work shift
• Use respiratory protection equipment, like air masks and respirators
➢ ROAD WORKS
Properly control traffic: The work zone should consist of an advanced warning area with warning signs alerting
motorists of upcoming changes in driving conditions, a transition area using traffic control devices for lane
closures and traffic pattern shifts, a buffer area, the work area, and a termination area to allow traffic to resume
back to normal and a sign indicating that the work zone has ended.
Create Separate Work areas: Road construction work zones are busy areas usually with several work activities
taking place at the same time. To avoid accidents, use cones, barrels, and barriers to clearly delineate specific
areas of the work zone such as material storage, areas where heavy equipment is being used, vehicle parking,
and safe areas for workers on foot to move about in.
64
Wear Proper Safety Equipment: Proper safety equipment should be worn by all personnel inside the work zone.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) including hard hats, steel-toed boots, highly visible clothing, and,
depending on the noise levels, hearing protection.
Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Regardless of what your job duties entail in the work zone, you should always
be mindful of what’s going on around you. Avoid walking behind any vehicles that may be backing up or into the
swing radius of heavy equipment.
Avoid Blind Spots: Vehicles and heavy equipment are constantly moving about inside the work zone including
dump trucks, compactors, pavement planers, excavators, pavers, and rollers. Operators should ensure that all
mirrors and visual aid devices are attached and operating properly including backup alarms and lights.
Have a Competent Person on Hand: A competent person should be on the jobsite whenever work is being
performed. Per OSHA, a competent person is someone “capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards
in the surroundings, or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and
who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.” A competent person is needed to
conduct hazard assessments and regular inspections of the worksite.
Start Each Workday with a Safety Meeting: In addition to ensuring that all personnel at the jobsite have the
proper training required it is also a good idea to have a quick safety meeting before work begins. Since conditions
can change greatly from day to day in the work zone workers should be briefed on the work activity scheduled
each day and notified of all potential hazards. This is also a good time to ensure that all workers have and are
wearing the proper PPE required for the work being done that day
Have a Site Specific Safety Program: Every road construction project is different and each work zone has its
own unique hazards and challenges so creating a safety program geared specifically for the site can go a long
way in preventing accidents.
Stay Hydrated: Workers performing road construction are susceptible to overexertion and heat-related illnesses.
Asphalt absorbs 95% of the sun’s rays and asphalt temperatures can easily be 30° F or higher than the
surrounding air temperature.
➢ Ladder
All fixed ladders must be equipped with a ladder safety or personal fall arrest system. Have a step width of at
least 16 inches. Have slip resistant steps and platforms.
Facing the ladder.
Using at least one hand to firmly grasp the ladder.
Not carrying any object or load that could cause them to lose balance and fall.
➢ Forklift
• Make sure the load is balanced and fully secure to prevent a forklift from tipping over
• Ensure both forks are as far under the load as possible before lifting
• Drive with the load as low as safely possible
• Pay attention to posted speed limits and warning signs
• Always look in the direction you’re traveling; if a load blocks the view ahead, travel in reverse
• Steer clear of areas where forklifts are prohibited or restricted
• Keep an eye out for signs, floor marking, and other warnings for pedestrians and forklifts
• Use the horn at intersections and in areas where pedestrians may be present
65
➢ Monthly Inspections
Supervisor shall appoint and certify competent employees to inspect all tools monthly and
keep record all inspections and make it available upon request. All hand tools shall be color
coded with the monthly inspection color coding. Paint, electrical tape or tie-raps could be
used on hand tools. Electrical / power tools shall be color coded with tie raps or electrical
tape 200 mm (8 in) from the electrical plug on the cord and an color coded inspection tag.
Tools that are not inspected and do bear the valid color code and tag shall not be used and
removed from the work area immediately.
The monthly inspection color coding are as follows:
January – March: RED
April – June: Green
July – September: Blue
Oct – December: Yellow
20. Safe use of Electricity
➢ Most electrical accidents result from one of the following three factors:
• Unsafe equipment or installation
• Unsafe environment or
• Unsafe work practices
These accidents can be prevented with the use of safe equipment, guarding, grounding, circuit
protective devices and safe work practices.
➢ Safe Equipment
All electrical workplace conductors and equipment must be deemed “acceptable” by OSHA. To be
deemed acceptable, equipment must be marked as tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL), such as Underwriters Laboratory (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM). OSHA will
look for these markings on the equipment to deem it safe. The equipment must be installed and used
within its labeled capacity so as to not exceed the limitations of the equipment (e.g., putting the
wrong switch for too much load, causing it to overheat).
Matching the equipment specifications to the load expectations of the installation will help prevent
unsafe conditions. Always use a qualified electrician to perform all electrical work.
➢ Examples of these equipment devices are:
• Watertight devices
66
• Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)
• Temporary power devices
• Modular power devices
• Motor control devices
• Wire management: strain relief, conduit, tubing
• Arc flash devices
• Lockout devices: plug locks, switch locks
• Cable protection systems
➢ Guarding
Guarding involves locating or enclosing electrical equipment to make sure people don’t accidentally
come into contact with its live parts. Effective guarding requires equipment with exposed parts
operating at 50 volts or more to be placed where it is accessible only to authorized people qualified to
work on it.
➢ Grounding
Grounding intentionally creates a low-resistance path that connects to the earth. This will prevent the
buildup of voltages that could cause an electrical accident that could result from a worker being in the
ground path. A properly designed grounding system creates a low-resistance path away from workers.
When designed correctly, grounding substantially reduces the risk of an electrical accident if combined
with safe work practices.
➢ Grounding falls into two types:
1. Service or system ground
A service or system ground is designed primarily to protect machines, tools and insulation against
damage. This involves the neutral or grounded conductor, typically white or gray, that is grounded at
the generator or transformer at the building’s service entrance.
2. Equipment ground
Equipment grounding helps protect the operator by furnishing a second path for current to travel if a
fault occurs. It will react much faster to prevent shock and serious injury to the operator. This is
accomplished by use of circuit protection devices.
67
➢ Circuit Protection Devices
• These devices limit or stop the flow of current automatically in the event of a ground fault, overload,
or short circuit in the wiring system. Common examples include fuses, circuit breakers and GFCIs.
Fuses and circuit breakers open or break the circuit automatically when too much current flows
through them, and will melt or trip to open the circuit. These are slow acting devices that are used
primarily for protection of conductors and equipment. They typically do not open fast enough to
prevent shock or further injury. They prevent overheating situations from occurring that result in
damage to the conductors or equipment.
• GFCIs are used typically in wet locations, construction sites, factory maintenance, and other high-
risk areas to protect the equipment user. These devices react much faster than fuses and circuit
breakers to interrupt the flow of current before shock and injury results.
➢ GFCI protection is provided in a variety of devices, including:
• Receptacles
• Sensing modules
• In-line cords and
• Cord outlet modules
➢ Safe Work Practices
Electrical accidents are largely preventable through safe work practices. Examples include:
• De-energizing electrical equipment before inspection or repair,
• Lockout/tagout procedures to prevent accidental or unexpected startup of electrical equipment,
• Keeping electric tools properly maintained,
• Exercising caution when working near energized lines and
• Using appropriate personal protective equipment.
➢ Use and Maintain Hand and Power Tools Properly

Hand and power tools are a common part of our everyday lives and are present in nearly every industry.
These tools help us to easily perform tasks that otherwise would be difficult or impossible. However,
68
these simple tools can be hazardous and have the potential for causing severe injuries when used or
maintained improperly. Special attention toward hand and power tool safety is necessary in order to
reduce or eliminate these hazards.
• Inspect tools before using them - Check for cracked casings, dents, missing or broken parts, and
contamination (oil, moisture, dirt, corrosion).
• Use the right tool correctly - Use tools correctly and for their intended purposes. Follow the safety
instructions and operating procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
• Use double-insulated tools - Portable electrical tools are classified by the number of insulation barriers
between the electrical conductors in the tool and the worker.
• Use multiple safe practices - Remember: A circuit may not be wired correctly. Wires may contact
other "hot" circuits. Someone else may do something to place you in danger. Take all possible
precautions
➢ Wear Correct PPE
OSHA requires that you be provided with personal protective equipment. This equipment must meet
OSHA requirements and be appropriate for the parts of the body that need protection and the work
performed.
• Wear safety glasses - Wear safety glasses to avoid eye injury.
• Wear proper clothing - Wear clothing that is neither floppy nor too tight. Loose clothing will catch on
corners and rough surfaces. Clothing that binds is uncomfortable and distracting.
• Contain and secure loose hair - Wear your hair in such a way that it does not interfere with your work
or safety.
• Wear proper foot protection - Wear shoes or boots that have been approved for electrical work.
• Wear a hard hat - Wear the appropriate class A/G or B/E hard hat to protect your head from bumps,
falling objects and electrical hazards. Do not wear Class C hard hats. Hard hats should be worn with
the bill forward to protect you properly.
• Wear hearing protectors - Wear hearing protectors in noisy areas to prevent hearing loss.
• Follow directions - Follow the manufacturer's directions for cleaning and maintaining PPE.
• Make an effort - Search out and use any and all equipment that will protect you from shocks and other
injuries.
20.1 Protective measures against Electrical hazards
• Employees shall be provided with, and shall use, electrical protective equipment rated for the voltage
involved and that is appropriate for the specific parts of the body to be protected for the work to be
performed.
• Protective equipment shall be maintained in a safe, reliable condition and shall be periodically
inspected or tested.
• If the insulating capability of protective equipment may be subject to damage during use, the
insulating material shall be protected i.e., an outer covering of leather is sometimes used for the
protection of rubber insulating material.
69
• Employees shall wear nonconductive head protection wherever there is a danger of head injury from
electric shock or burns due to contact with exposed energized parts.
• Employees shall wear protective equipment for the eyes, face, and body wherever there is danger of
injury caused from electric arcs, flashes or from flying objects resulting from electrical explosions.
• Employees shall use insulated tools or handling equipment. If the insulating capability of the insulated
tool or handling equipment is subject to damage, the insulating material shall be protected.
• Fuse handling equipment, insulated for the circuit voltage, shall be used to remove or install fuses
when the fuse terminals are energized.
• Ropes and hand lines used near exposed energized parts shall be nonconductive.
• Protective shields, barriers, or insulating materials rated for the voltage involved shall be used to
protect each employee from shock, burns, or other electrically related injuries while the employee is
working near exposed energized parts which might be accidentally contacted or where dangerous
electric heating or arcing might occur. When normally enclosed live parts are exposed for
maintenance or repair, they shall be guarded to protect employees from live parts.
Protecting Cables from Traffic areas.
Non- compliant / spliced cables on site will be immediately removed.

All Electrical Permits will produce. The Electrical Permits will be used for all works there
are already energized.
All Construction area, stairs, storage areas, offices be lighted.
All Temporary wiring on site will comply the same codes as permanent wiring. All
Temporary circuits will be properly grounded.
Will be sure wiring is protected from damage in high traffic areas. Undersized wiring
or Overloading circuits will not be used Temporary wiring will be removed
immediately upon completion of work. of temporary outlets on job site will be
ensured.
70
21. GENERATORS
Internal Combustion Engines of powered equipment will be positioned in

the open area.
They will always be sited so that exhaust gases are kept clear Fuel Tanks will not be
filled whilst engine are running.
Air intakes to generator room / outlet from generator room will be
situated / arranged for properly air circulation
Generator rooms will be protected against accidental impact. Will be
put appropriate signage / warning signs.
All Temporary Cables will be stored correctly when they are not in use.
➢ Drip tray for generator leakage

Drip trays for generators do exactly what they say on the tin: they are large trays designed to catch
any drips or leaks coming from your portable generator. These generator drip trays are large
enough to contain any spills, feature flexible sides to enable a portable generator to be rolled over
them and then positioned in the center, and also include a specially designed absorbent mat to
contain oil drips safely. Many plant operators use the expensive Plant Nappy product for this
purpose but our range of drip trays for generators do the exact same job for a much more
affordable price!
Portable generators are handy and efficient, making them excellent for any project that requires a
remote power source. However, using portable generators can pose some environmental
problems. Petrol fuel or engine oil runoffs can seep into the ground, causing health and safety
hazards as well as being damaging to the environment. This is where our drip trays for generators
come in to protect your job site, and the environment, from contamination.
22.EXCAVATION WORK
This procedure provides guidance for the protection of personnel working in and around excavations and
trenching.
➢ Excavation
Any man made cavity or depression in the earth's surface, formed by the earth removal, which produces
unsupported earth conditions by the reason of the excavation work.
➢ Trench
A narrow excavation below the surface of the ground, with its width at the lowest level below ground
surface not greater than 9 m (15 ft) wide.
71
➢ Competent Person
One who has had specific knowledge about soil classification, the use of protective systems and
requirements of the standard. Documentation and data to establish this is required and must be on file at
the Project. He must also be capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or
working conditions, which are hazardous, unsanitary or dangerous to employees, and must have the
authority to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
➢ Benching
This is a method of protecting employees from cave-ins by shaping the sides of an excavation to form one
or a series of horizontal levels or steps, usually with near-vertical surfaces between levels.
➢ General Requirements
Prior to commencing excavation or trenching, it shall be advised of the proposed work to allow them to
determine the location of all underground installations (i.e. sewer, telephone, water, fuel, electric and gas
lines). Overhead hazards are to be assessed and dealt with at this time also.
Excavations, trenching and adjacent areas shall be inspected by a competent person, after every rainfall, as
soil conditions change and as needed throughout the shift. If there is evidence of possible slides or cave-
ins; indications of failure of protective systems; hazardous atmospheres; or other hazardous conditions;
necessary safety precautions must be taken before any additional work in that section of the excavation
begins. Employees shall not work in excavations where water is accumulating unless adequate precautions
have been taken to protect employees against the hazard posed by the water accumulation. If water
accumulation is controlled or prevented by water removal equipment, the competent person must monitor
the removal activities to ensure proper operation. If the stability of buildings or walls is endangered by an
excavation or trench shoring, bracing or underpinning will be provided. Excavations and trenching that are
adjacent to backfilled excavation or trenching, or which are subject to vibrations from railroad traffic,
highway traffic, or the operation of machinery (e.g., shovels, derricks, cranes, trucks) will be secured by
support system, shield system or other protective systems; i.e., sheet piled shored, and braced.
➢ Access
In trenching 1.2 m (4 ft) or more in depth, ladders, steps, ramps or other safe means of access and egress
shall be provided and located at intervals of 7.5 m (25 ft) or less lateral travel. If a ladder is used, the ladder
will extend 1 m (3 ft) above the original surface of the ground and must be secured. Walkways, ramps or
bridges with standard guardrails will be provided at all excavations and trenching where employees are
required or permitted to cross over. The crossing will be made of tightly secured uniformly sized planking.
➢ Set Back
Employees shall be protected from excavated or other materials or equipment that could pose a hazard by
falling or rolling into excavation. Protection shall be provided by placing and keeping such materials or
equipment at least 1 m (3 ft) from the edge of the excavation, or by the use of retaining devices that are
sufficient to prevent materials or equipment from falling or rolling into excavations or by combination of
both.
72
➢ Equipment
When mobile equipment of any type is utilized or permitted to operate adjacent to excavations or
trenching, barricades or "stop" logs will be provided. All wells, pits, shafts, trenches, or other similar
ground fall hazards will be barricaded or covered. No one will be allowed under loads handled by
shovels, derricks, or hoists or near vehicles being loaded by such equipment. Employees exposed to
vehicular traffic operating in the area of excavation or trenching will be provided with and instructed to
wear warning vests or other personal protective equipment marked with or made of reflectorized or
highly visible material
➢ Dust
Dust conditions should be kept at minimum level by the use of water or other safe means.
➢ Confined Space
Every trench or excavation with a depth of 1.2 m (4 ft) or greater shall be tested at least daily for gasses and
atmosphere deficiency in accordance with the section, Confined Areas or Spaces of this manual, prior to employees
entering the trench. In locations where employees may be subjected to hazardous dusts, gases, fumes, or an
atmosphere deficient in oxygen, employees will be provided with proper respiratory protection, instructed in its use,
and required to use such protection. Rescue equipment will be immediately available in such circumstances for use
by competent personnel.
➢ Excavation Protective System (Protection of Employees)

Each employee in an excavation shall be protected from cave-ins by an adequate protective system. Protective
systems shall have the capacity to resist all loads that are intended for the system, could reasonably be expected to
be applied or transmitted to the system. Sides, slopes and faces of all excavations will be scaled, benched, rock-
bolted, wire-meshed, or secured by some other equally effective means. Portable trench boxes or sliding trench
shields may be used instead of shoring or sloping. Such boxes or shields must be of strength at least equivalent to
the sheeting or shoring that would be required in the face of the nature of the soil of material which the trench is
made. The requirements below for the appropriate option must be followed and properly documented. Exceptions to
these include:
• Excavations that are made entirely in stable rock. (Natural solid mineral matter that can be excavated
with vertical sides and remain intact while exposed. Excavations that are less than 1.2 m (4 ft) in
depth where examination of the ground by a competent person provides no indication of a potential
cave-in.
➢ Soil Classification
When using protective systems requiring soil classification, each soil and rock deposit shall be classified
by a competent person as "Stable Rock, Type A, Type B or Type C." The classification shall be made based
on the results of at least 1 visual and at least 1 manual analysis. Such analysis shall be conducted by a
competent person using acceptable visual and manual test or other recognized methods of soil
classification.
73
➢ Sloping/Benching System
The slopes and configurations of sloping and benching systems for excavation 1.5 m to 6 m (5 ft to 20 ft)
in depth must be selected and constructed by the employer or his designee and shall be in accordance with
the following requirements.
A competent person must do soil analysis to determine the soil or rock type.
➢ Support System, Shield System, Other Protection Systems
Designs of support systems, shield system and other protective systems shall be selected and constructed
by the employer or designee and shall be in accordance with applicable Standards.
➢ Barricades
This procedure outlines the barricading requirements to follow on the Projects. Barricade tape will
generally not be accepted as the primary means of barricading off a hazard and may only be used as
described within this procedure. Physical hard barriers will be used as the primary means to barricade
hazards and hazardous work areas.
➢ Physical Barriers
Physical barriers will be erected to provide protection against hazards and dangers, hazardous work areas
and hazardous work in all cases where the hazard or danger will exist for a period longer than 8 hours.
Barricade tape will be used to wrap around the physical barrier or in conjunction with the physical barrier
to provide additional warning of the hazards or danger that exist and/or to increase the visibility of the
barrier.
• Barriers will be constructed of material of substantial strength such as scaffold tubing or 50 mm x
100 mm (2 in x 4 in) lumber.
• Barricades shall be visible at all times where a hazard or danger exists and additional signs may also
be required.
• All streets, roads, highways, and other public thoroughfares, construction roads which are closed to
traffic, shall be protected by effective barricades on which shall be placed acceptable and highly
visible warning signs. Barricades shall be located at the nearest intersecting, highway, street or road
on each side of the blocked section.
• All floor openings, open trenches and other excavations shall be provided with suitable floor opening
covers, barriers, signs and lights to the extent that adequate protection is provided to the employees
and public. Obstructions such as material piles and equipment shall be provided with similar warning
signs and lights.
• All barricades and obstructions shall be illuminated by means of warning lights from sunset to sunrise.
• Materials stored upon or alongside construction roads and public streets and highways shall be so
placed, and the work at all times shall be so conducted as to cause the minimum obstruction and
inconvenience to the traffic.
74
• All barricades, signs, lights and other protective devices shall be installed and maintained.
• Signs, signals and barricades shall be removed when the hazard no longer exists.
➢ Barricade Warning Tape
Three types of barricade tape will be utilized as a visual warning for employees. Barricade tape does not
offer physical protection for floor edges, roof edges, floor openings, trenches, excavations, etc., and shall
not be used for physical protection. Barricade tape will be used with physical barriers to increase the
visibility of the barrier and to indicate the type of hazard that exist. Barricade tape may also be used to rope
off low risk hazards that will not take longer than 8 hours to remove all hazards and make the area safe.
Other exceptions are where barricade tape may be used is where people are stationed outside the hazardous
work area to help control accidental entrance into that area while performing short duration work. Examples
are where a crane lift is being performed or where a truck is being off-loaded.
➢ Yellow/Black Barricade Tape
This type of barricade tape shall serve as a warning/caution to indicate to employees that a potential hazard
exists. Employee may enter without permission. This barricade tape shall be used for, but not limited to the
following:
• Identification of trip hazards, low hanging objects, etc.
• Material storage on the site.
➢ Red Barricade Tape
This type of barricade tape shall indicate "DANGER" and that potential serious hazard may be present. NO
EMPLOYEE, other than that assigned to work inside a RED barricade may enter without first obtaining
permission. This barricade tape shall be used for, but not limited to the following:
• Overhead work.
• Live electrical components.
• Scaffold under construction.
• Around swing radius of equipment with a rotating super structure.
➢ Magenta (Purple)/Yellow
This barricade tape shall be used to indicate "DANGER--RADIATION", and that possible exposure may
be present. This barricade tape is to be considered as an equal to red, in that, NO EMPLOYEES ARE
ALLOWED to enter this area. This color is representative of X-Ray work being performed. Signs must
also be posted to protect areas where radiation operations are in progress.
75
➢ Barricade Erection
Each supervisor / foreman or Subcontractor performing work that requires barricades and tape to be erected
shall:
• Erect the barrier and install the tape to enclose the specific area to be protected only. Do not block
passageways or access ways unless entirely necessary. If passageways or access ways must be
blocked, contact your supervisor for possible alternatives.
• Erect barriers and install tape in a secure and neat manner that will maintain a height of between 1 m
and 1.2 m (40 in and 45 in) from the floor or ground surface. A second bar and strand of tape shall be
placed half the distance between the top and the ground. The only employees allowed to enter a RED
barricade area will be that assigned to tasks by that supervisor / foreman responsible for the work area
and the barricade.
NOTE!!! The supervisor or person whom erected the barricade and tape must remove the barricade and
tape.
23.PAINTING OPERATIONS
The following safety measures will be taken in all areas where Flammable paints,
Coatings and associated solvents are stored, handled or used
"No Smoking" and "Flammable Materials" Safety sign boards will be displayed. All
potential sources of ignition will be kept away from this location. Adequate ventilation
will be provided in order to prevent the buildup of vapors Dry Powder fire
extinguishers will be kept readily available at these locations.
Specific stores for paints, coatings and their associated solvents will be provided. Storage will be
of a fire resistant construction and will conform to the guidance for safe handling and storage of
paints.
All personnel performing painting or coating work will be trained for the work and
be aware of the hazards of the particular materials being used Barriers and warning signs
will be provided around the painting area.
Foodstuffs will not be brought into or consumed on premises where paint is stored,
handled or used. Workers involved in any type of spraying must be given proper health
and safety training.
Painters work outdoors and indoors; they are exposed to hazards of falling from
heights. Therefore, proper scaffolding will be provided.
Contaminated rags, used paint containers, waste materials etc., will be removed from
the site and disposed of properly.
76
➢ GLOVES
To protect yourself, wear chemical-resistant Nitrile gloves every time you handle paint
materials, and especially during paint mixing, spraying, and gun cleaning. Nitrile gloves provide
an excellent barrier to paints and organic solvents – the chemicals that are some of the toughest
on gloves.
• MASK
When spray painting, it's recommended that you wear a paint respirator. Respirator masks prevent many
microscopic and scent-free particles from entering your airways during painting
24. WELDING AND CUTTING OPERATIONS
The following guidelines will be followed while doing gas welding and cutting operations:
HOT WORK PERMIT
• Before hot work operations begin in a non-designated location, a completed hot work permit is
required.
• The following conditions must be confirmed before permitting the hot work to commence:
• Equipment to be used (e.g. welding equipment, shields, personal protective equipment, fire
extinguishers) must be in satisfactory operating condition and in good repair.
• The floor must be swept clean for a radius of 35 ft if combustible materials, such as paper or wood
shavings are on the floor,
• Combustible floors (except wood on concrete) must be kept wet or be covered with damp sand (
note: where floors have been wet down, personnel operating arc welding or cutting equipment
shall be protected from possible shock)., or be protected by noncombustible or fire-retardant
shields.
• All combustible materials must be moved at least 35 ft away from the hot work operation. If
relocation is impractical, combustibles must be protected with fire-retardant covers, shields or
curtains. Edges of covers at the floor must be tight to prevent sparks from going under them,
including where several covers overlap when protecting a large pile.
• OSHA has very specific regulations covering welding, brazing and cutting operations. Ventilation
requirements depend on the metals and compounds used. Welding & cutting operations,
conducted outside authorized hot work areas, includes extensive procedures for fire prevention.
77
ELECTRIC WELDING:
• A Work Permit should be issued by the Company before carrying out any such
works. A welding helmet/ welding visor in good condition are to be used.
Ultraviolet radiation from electric arc can cause "WELDERS" blindness and eye
inflammation.
• Gauntlet gloves of suitable type in good condition are to be used.
• Radiation from electric welding can cause skin injuries and for this reason, the
body must be properly covered. The use of overalls and aprons is recommended.
• Ear protectors must be used by electric welders and gas torch operators while
working in the overhead position or in other positions when welding bead can fall
into the ear and cause severe injuries.
• Protective goggles must be used when knocking up slag etc.
• Live electrodes or electrode holders must always be placed in the correct holder when not
in use. Any welding is being to be screened as much as possible to avoid other people
being affected or exposed by the welding glare.
• Welding equipment is to be checked for correct voltage, and the feed, earth and welding
cables and electrode holders are to be free from defects. Defective cables and electrode
holders are to be replaced.
• Welding equipment is to be switched off when not in use.
• The current is to be switched off when welding cable is being pulled from one place to
another. Welding cable should not be laid on gas cylinders, oil containers or through
wet areas e t c .
• It is forbidden to lay welding cables over hot steam boilers, steam pipes etc.
Welding cables are to be cleaned coiled when welding work is finished.
• Proper ventilation and welding fumes extraction system confined places
and factory building should be provided as per Authority requirements.
• When X-ray control is being carried out, this work is to be done by an expert and nobody is
to stand behind weld being examined or within a distance at least 10 meters from the X-ray
tube.
• Precautions are to be taken to prevent adjacent objects from catching fire due to
welding operations.
78
GAS WELDING AND GAS INSTALLATION:
• All gas cylinders should be treated carefully. Protective covers to be fitted during storage
and transport.
• Gas cylinders not impact, must not be placed in sunshine close to any object radiating
heat or fire.
• Gas cylinders are to be stored in shaded area, away from heat and ignition sources,
placed upright and accessible from at least two sides.
• Oxygen and other gas cylinders should not be kept together, considerable distances of about 6
• meters to be maintained if possible.
• Defective gas cylinders are to be marked "DEFECTIVE" and must be returned to the supplier
as soon as possible.
• Oxygen cylinders and oxygen equipment must not be placed in oily locations and handled
without gloves.
• Valves on gas cylinders must always be closed during pause in work, or on work
completion.
• Valve covers are to be fitted when cylinders are not in use.
• Acetylene gas hoses are to be red; oxygen hoses are to be blue.
• Hoses and other equipment must not be hung on gas cylinders, values or other fixtures. Gas
hoses must not be laid over hot steam boilers or steam pipes etc.
• Defective gas hoses must not be used. The only permissible way join hoses are to use junction
nipples.
• Gas cylinders are to be fitted with Flame Arresters & Flash Back fire valves. It is not
permissible to use defective or damaged gauges on gas cylinders.
• No welding/cutting work is to be carried out on/near oil/gas/chemical installations,
pipelines, tanks, drums etc.
• Defective sections must be dismantled and taken to a safe place for repairing. It is prohibited
to manufacture acetylene gas by means of Calcium Carbide in a gas cylinder. Fire
extinguishing equipment must always be available during welding/cutting work.
• Flammable/combustible substance/material must be kept at a safe distance from a
welding/cutting hot work area. Adequate work permit procedure (hot work, cold work permit)
should be implemented by the company management prior to commencement of
any hot and cold works. All welding areas shall be provided with suitable
extraction/filtration systems to dissipate welding fumes
• Proper care of welding and burning equipment shall be for minimizing hazards. All gas
cylinders shall have their content clearly labeled.
79
• Gas cylinders shall always be stored, used and secured in an upright position. Cylinder
valve caps are to be installed except when using cylinders. Gas hoses shall be regularly
checked for abrasions, cuts, leaks, or other damage.
• Welding cables shall be similarly checked for external damage and properly connected and
insulated joints. In running hoses and cables to work, preferably they should be located
overhead. If not possible, and particularly in heavy traffic areas, protective covers should be
provided when run on the ground.
• Never use grease or oil on equipment (cylinders, hoses and torches) handling oxygen. Oxygen
shall not be used for ventilation or cooling, blowing dust or cleaning work. Frames of electric
welding machines are to be grounded.
• In preparing for welding and burning, sparks or molten metal will not fall on people or
combustible materials. Work is screened or isolated to preclude exposure of adjacent
workmen to welding flash.
• Work is properly grounded for electric welding. Pipe containing oil, gas, or other
combustible material and conduits and structures for electricity transmission shall not be used
for grounds. Fire extinguisher is available within 50 ft (15 m.) of hot work point.
• For work at an elevated location or in a confined space, extinguisher shall be at the work
location. Work location is adequately ventilated. For welding or burning zinc bearing, lead
base, cadmium bearing or beryllium contained materials, respirators or fresh air masks are
required for poorly ventilated or confined work spaces.
• Items being worked on must be properly supported for the operation to be carried out. While
doing the work, welders and burners must use the personal protective equipment required for
the job.
• Normally this will include some tinted eye protection which greatly restricts the user’s
visibility. For this reason, thorough preparation for the job is important before starting work.
Hand or power tools are frequently used in conjunction with welding and burning operations
requiring additional protective equipment which shall be provided as per requirement.
➢ Safety precaution for welding operation at height:
when working at height you should make sure the area below is cordoned off.
In all cases of working at height, ensure that
• the equipment used is suitable for the job and is maintained and in good condition
• workers are competent and trained to use the equipment and carry out the job safely
• all workers understand the job and the control measures in place to ensure their safety.
80
❖ Fall protection
There are several general fall-protection systems:

• Personal fall-arrest system (PFAS): Arrests a fall
• Personal fall-restraint system: Prevents a fall
• Positioning-device system: Positions a worker on a vertical work surface and limits a fall to 2 feet
• Guardrail/Fence system, hole cover, and barricade Prevent falls
• Safety monitor system: Keeps watch on a worker near a fall hazard
➢ Personal Fall-Arrest Systems (PFAS)
A personal fall-arrest system consists of an anchorage, connectors, and a full-body harness that work
together to stop a fall and to minimize the arrest force. Other parts of the system may include a lanyard,
a deceleration device, and a lifeline.
• Ensure that personal fall arrest systems will, when stopping a fall:
o Limit maximum arresting force to 1,800 pounds.
o Be rigged such that an employee can neither free-fall more than 4 feet nor contact any lower
level.
o Have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential impact energy of a worker free falling
a distance of 4 feet, or the free fall distance permitted by the system, whichever is less.
• Remove systems and components from service immediately if they have been subjected to fall
impact, until inspected by a competent person and deemed undamaged and suitable for use.
• Inspect systems before each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration, and remove defective
components from service.
• Do not attach fall arrest systems to guardrail systems or hoists.
• Rig fall arrest systems to allow movement of the worker only as far as the edge of the
walking/working surface, when used at hoist areas.
➢ Body Harness
Body harnesses are designed to minimize stress forces on an employee's body in the event of a fall,
while providing sufficient freedom of movement to allow work to be performed. Harnesses, and
components must be used only for employee protection (as part of a personal fall arrest system) and
not to hoist materials.
81
➢ The Anchorage System
An anchorage system is a secure point of attachment for lifelines, lanyards, or deceleration devices.
How can you be sure that an anchorage is secure
An anchorage must be designed and installed under the supervision of a qualified person and must be
able to maintain a safety factor of at least two - twice the impact force of a worker free-falling 4 feet.
➢ Lanyards
A lanyard is a specially designed flexible line that has a snap hook at each end. One snap hook
connects to the body harness and the other connects to an anchorage or a lifeline. They come in a
variety of designs, including self-retracting types that make moving easier and shock-absorbing types
that reduce fall-arrest forces. Don't combine lanyards to increase length or knot them to make them
shorter.
➢ . Shock-Absorbing Lanyard
A shock absorber reduces the impact on a worker during fall arrest by extending up to 3.5 feet to
absorb the arrest force. OSHA rules limit the arrest force to 1,800 pounds but a shock-absorbing
lanyard can reduce the force even more - to about 900 pounds.
Because a shock-absorbing lanyard extends up to 3.5 feet, it's critical that the lanyard stops the
worker before the next lower level. Allow about 20 vertical feet between the worker's anchorage point
and the level below the working surface. Always estimate the total distance of a possible fall before
using a shock-absorbing lanyard.
➢ Self-Retracting Lanyard/Lifeline
Self-retracting lanyards and lifelines offer more freedom to move than shock-absorbing lanyards. Each
has a drum-wound line that unwinds and retracts as the worker moves. If the worker falls, the drum
immediately locks, which reduces free-fall distance to about 2 feet - if the anchorage point is directly
above the worker. Some self-retracting lanyards will reduce free-fall distance to less than one foot. Self-
retracting lanyards are available in lengths up to 20 feet. Self-retracting lifelines, which offer more
freedom, are available in lengths up to 250 feet.
If you use a self-retracting lanyard or lifeline, work below the anchorage to avoid a swing fall. The
farther you move away from the anchorage, the farther you will fall and the greater your risk of
swinging back into a hard object. Swing falls are hazardous because you can hit an object or a lower
level during the pendulum motion.
82
➢ Lifelines
A lifeline is a cable or rope that connects to a body harness, lanyard, or deceleration device, and at
least one anchorage. There are two types of lifelines. (Vertical and Horizontal)
➢ Vertical lifeline: A vertical lifeline is attached to an overhead anchorage and must be connected
directly to a worker's full-body harness, lanyard, retractable device, or rope grab; it must have a
minimum breaking strength of 5,000 pounds.
➢ Horizontal lifeline: Unlike a vertical lifeline, the horizontal lifeline stretches between two
anchorages.
When you connect a lanyard or rope grab to the horizontal lifeline, you can move about freely, thus
reducing the risk of a swing fall. However, horizontal lifelines are subject to much greater loads than
vertical lifelines.
25. MATERIAL HANDLING OPERATIONS
LIFTING OPERATIONS
Crane Operators must use properly wooden edges at the bottom of support foots. Crane max
load / min angle capacities will be posted in cab.
In areas where lifting occurs adjacent to or beyond the site boundary than adequate physical
protection will be provided.

competent person.
83
Care must be taken to ensure that the load and the lifting equipment are not damaged. Packing
between the sling and the load may be used if required.
Before commencing the operation, a suitable landing site will be prepared.
Ensure that any loose parts of the load are adequately secured, either by slinging
method or other means, or that they are removed.
Clear communication between the operative responsible for slinging and the driver or
operative responsible for the lifting appliance will be ensured.
If, when the lifting operation is completed, the equipment is no longer required, it will be
returned to proper storage.
Only licensed and certified operations are allowed to operate the Cranes. Banks man will be
employed during the operation of the equipment.
Cranes, lifts hoists, lifting accessories such as slings, ropes, hooks, shackles etc., will be
examined, tested and certified by the approved third party. The copy of the valid third
party test certificate will be available at the site safety Office.
Proper maintenance will be carried out regularly and records will be maintained.

configuration and serial number of the crane it is being applied with.
For all stationary-lifting operations, the total load lifted, including all deductions may not exceed 95% of
the crane's load chart for the actual configuration and lift radius. Each crane shall be equipped with a
measuring tape to establish the crane-operating radius before the outriggers are extended and set. A tape
measure shall be used to layout the radius. The boom angle indicator should only be used as a reference.
The operator shall be instructed to engage the boom dog and release it only when booming down is required.
Lifts shall not be made in winds that exceed the manufacturer's recommendation, or in winds 20 mph or
greater. Tag lines shall be used to control the load and keep workers away from the load. Hydraulic truck
87
cranes shall not be used to walk loads from one place to another. The minimum clearance between the load
and the crane boom, or any other critical structural component, should not be less than 1 foot. For all lifting
operations where the crane is traveling with the load, the total lifted load, including all deductions, shall
not exceed 90% of the crane's load chart for the actual configuration and lift radius. The rated capacities of
each crane used in multiple-crane lifts (exclusive of a tailing crane) shall be reduced a minimum of 30%
unless one of the following conditions are met:
• An equalizing beam, or other approved method of load equalization, is used.
• It can be determined by calculations, or demonstrated, that the transfer of load from one crane to
another during any operation of the erection process cannot occur to any appreciable extent.
• It can be determined by calculations, or demonstrated, that the monitoring of the respective loads and
the control of each crane during the erection process shall provide a fail-safe means for performing
the lift safely.
Crane mats, or other acceptable load-spreading devices, should be used for all lifts. They are mandatory
when lifts exceed 85% of the cranes chart capacity when stationary, or 75% of chart capacity when
traveling, except under one of the following conditions:
• It can be determined by calculations, or demonstrated, that the bearing pressure of the crane acting
on the crane pad without mats shall not exceed the allowable bearing capacity of the soil.
• Conditions of the soil are such that mats become mandatory during a lift of any magnitude.
• The lift is of such a critical or sensitive nature that mats become mandatory during a lift of any
magnitude.
c.) Crane Jibs

A jib or fly jib shall not be used on any crane the Project/site unless:

the machine weight from wheels before the boom is moved from its travel position or any lifting operation
begins. Blocking or load spreaders shall be used under each outrigger float regardless if the crane is being
set up on soil or concrete. Blocking or load spreaders under outriggers shall be sized to provide at least a
minimum of 400% more load-bearing area than the outrigger floats provide and to resist the resulting
bending stresses. When crane mats are used, they shall be made of hardwood timbers a minimum of eight
inches 200 mm (8 in) thick and arranged to spread the load to the soil. In conditions of poor soil, more than
one layer of crane mats may be required to spread the load sufficiently. All lifts shall be performed in such
a manner that impact loading is kept to a minimum. All lifts shall be made in a manner that is consistent
with the equipment manufacturer's design, procedures, or recommendations.
88

should be no more than 3 mm (1/8 in) smaller.
• For pin holes 100 mm (4 in) or more in diameter, the pin diameters of the mating shackles
• The rated capacity of a sling whose body is bent around a pin, crane hook or any other object shall
be reduced in accordance with Mac Whyte Wire Rope Efficiency Chart). Exposed or unprotected
carbon steel slings and rigging hardware shall not be permitted to come into contact with stainless
steel or non-ferrous plant equipment except at the pin holes of lifting lugs. Fiber slings shall not be
used to choke or wrap around structural steel or in any other application where they could be exposed
to sharp edges.
Temporary wood softeners, or other approved alternate, shall be used to protect plant equipment from
damage due to concentrated bearing points and movement of rigging hardware. Finish painted
surfaces are to be further protected from discoloration, scratches, gouges, and other effects of direct
contact with slings and rigging hardware. Rigging equipment (ropes, slings, shackles, lifting beams,
hooks, etc.) shall be visually inspected prior to each major lift. Unacceptable rigging equipment shall
be tagged and removed from the Project/site.

Good housekeeping can not only prevent workplace injuries, it is also vital to preventing fires in the
Construction site . By maintaining combustible and flammable materials to a bare minimum, the potential for
fires is greatly reduced, if not eliminated. Dust also can increase the likelihood of fires or dust explosions. Trash
cans should be constructed of non-combustible materials, and dumpsters should be covered with lids. Another
important prevention (and an OSHA requirement) is to store oily rags in a self-closing container constructed
of non-combustible materials. Finally, flammable materials should be stored in flammable materials cabinets.
26.1.2 Requirements
• Adequate distance for firefighting equipment shall be maintained between temporary structures and
permanent facilities.
• The use of wood or combustible temporary shacks around permanent buildings under construction
shall be minimized. All temporary shacks shall be kept a minimum distance of 20 m (65 ft) from the

cabinet or cage.
26.1.3.1Hazard Communication
The intent of the Project is to ensure that employees who must work with hazardous chemicals / paints are
informed of the hazards as well as of safe methods of handling. Handling and storage are the two most
common causes of accidents with chemicals. There are several ways that the information is relayed to the
employee, these being:
• Container labeling - labels give you immediate hazards associated with the chemical.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) give you detailed information about the chemical – physical
and health hazards, First-Aid, firefighting, protective equipment, etc.
• Know what you are handling, read the label, and if there is any doubt, consult the Material Safety
Data Sheet.
• All this information is available through the Safety Department (Instructor will give instructions on
how to obtain MSDS sheets). All you have to do is ask and this information will be made available.
95

These types of fire extinguisher contain Aqua Film Forming Foam (AFFF) to use at oil fire. Creet will
arrange to provide for fuel storage tank diesel tanker, lubrication truck etc.
c.) CO2 Fire Extinguisher:
This extinguisher contains carbon dioxide gas to use for electrical fire. Creet will arrange to provide for
electrical installation (generator etc)
26.3 Fire Classifications
Fires are classified as Class A, B, C, D or Special, depending upon the types of materials involved. These
classifications are defined as follows:
• Class A: Fires in ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth, paper, trash, rubber and plastic.
• Class B: Fires in flammable liquid, oil, grease, tar, oil-base paint, lacquer and flammable gas.
• Class C: Fires involving energized electrical equipment or systems, resulting in the extinguishing
media conducting electricity. (When electrical equipment or systems are de-energized, extinguishers
for Class A or B fires can be used safely.)
• Class D: Fires in combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium and
potassium. Special: Fires in certain reactive chemicals that fall outside the other four classifications
and that, in some cases, require special extinguishing agents or techniques.
96
26.4 Fire Watch and Fire Extinguisher Training
Fire watches personnel shall assign for all cutting, burning and welding, and other open flame operations.
The Fire watches personnel will be properly trained and equipped with the proper firefighting equipment.
The Fire-watch will be responsible to watch for fires, prevent fires, put fires out, and give the alarm. Each
Fire-watch person will be responsible for a maximum area described by an eight-meter circle on a
horizontal plane. All open flame operations will be within the responsibility area of a Fire-watch. Fire-
watchers will wear a red reflective vest for easy identification. Although all employees will receive basic
fire extinguisher training during new hire orientation and fire watches and shall be provided more extensive
training.
Fire watch will:
• help insure containment of sparks and slag;
• keep fire extinguisher ready for immediate use at all times;
• familiar with locations and methods of sounding alarms;
• maintain watch for 30 minutes after operation to ensure no fire develops;
• Be identified by wearing an orange vest.
26.5 Inspections
Extinguishers shall be inspected monthly or more often when circumstances warrant, to ensure that they
have not been actuated or tampered with, and to detect any damage. Inspection tags shall be placed on
them, and the date of inspection shall be indicated after each inspection. Records must be maintained.
❖ FENCING, BARRIERS AND WARNING SIGNGS
Purpose:
The site fencing/hoarding or barriers around all work areas will be provided by the
Contractors. If site boundaries are modified during the progress of the works, hoarding and/or
barriers must be reinstated before work recommences.
All work and materials storage must be conducted within the confines of the
fencing/hoarding. here work sites interface with vehicle routes, or where construction
vehicles will be maneuvering within the site, the hoarding is to be protected against vehicular
displacement. The use of hazard tape as a means of defining worksite boundaries or as a
barrier is not acceptable. Particular attention will be given to preventing unauthorized access
on site. The prevention of access to the site by members of the public is of paramount
importance.
97
Generally
a. The fence should not be less than 2 meters high.

b. External Warning signage for public awareness and safety.
c. The fence should not be capable of being easily climbed. It should be
either close-boarded or covered with a mesh not exceeding 30 mm
spacing.
d. All support posts must be securely anchored. Fencing will be properly maintained.
e. Appropriate bracing to resist wind loading will be installed.
f. Minimum weekly Inspections must take place.
A complete drawing with specification and method of building the fence is provided
separately along with this Policy.
Plant
Determine and make adequate provision for the type and capacity of plant that will be need
to be stored on site.
Also consider fixed plant (e.g. batching plant, bar bending, woodworking and workshops)
and prefabrication areas (e.g. lamination, concrete pipe works).
Safety/inspection checklists must be completed for all plant.
Car Parking
Consideration should be given to car parking facilities which are to be on or near the
site.
Designated bus stops for collecting laborers at the end of shifts must also be
implemented, inclusive of sign posting and warning signage.
The positioning and marking of temporary services should be carefully undertaken to avoid the
possibility of accidental damage
The purpose of this procedure is to outline the requirements for the effective use of
safety signs in the CREET INTL’ Project.
Scope:
This procedure applies to all activities during the construction and commissioning /
startup operations.
Wherever possible maximum use will be made of easily understood pictogram
type signage. When pictogram signs or applicable instructions on the signs are not
available notices will be written in Arabic and English.

101
27.CONFINED SPACE
It can be any space of an enclosed nature where there is a risk of death or serious injury from hazardous
substances or dangerous conditions (eg lack of oxygen).
Some confined spaces are fairly easy to identify, eg enclosures with limited openings:
• storage tanks;
• silos;
• reaction vessels;
• enclosed drains;
• sewers.
Others may be less obvious, but can be equally dangerous, for example
• open-topped chambers;
• vats;
• combustion chambers in furnaces etc;
• ductwork;
• unventilated or poorly ventilated rooms.
It is not possible to provide a comprehensive list of confined spaces. Some places may become confined
spaces when work is carried out, or during their construction, fabrication or subsequent modification.
102
➢ HAZARD OF CONFINED SPACE
Dangers can arise in confined spaces because of the following issues.
• A lack of oxygen.
• This can occur:
• where there is a reaction between some soils and the oxygen in the atmosphere;
• following the action of groundwater on chalk and limestone which can produce carbon dioxide and
displace normal air;
• in ships’ holds, freight containers, lorries etc as a result of the cargo reacting with oxygen inside the
space;
• inside steel tanks and vessels when rust forms.
• Poisonous gas, fume or vapour.
• These can:
• build-up in sewers and manholes and in pits connected to the system;
• enter tanks or vessels from connecting pipes;
• leak into trenches and pits in contaminated land, such as old refuse tips and old gas works.
• Liquids and solids which can suddenly fill the space, or release gases into it, when disturbed. Free-
flowing solids such as grain can also partially solidify or ‘bridge’ in silos, causing blockages which
can collapse unexpectedly.
• Fire and explosions (eg from flammable vapors, excess oxygen etc).
• Residues left in tanks, vessels etc, or remaining on internal surfaces, which can give off gas, fume
or vapour.
• Dust present in high concentrations, eg in flour silos.
• Hot conditions leading to a dangerous increase in body temperature. Some of the above conditions
may already be present in the confined space. However, some may arise from the work being carried
out, or because of ineffective isolation of plant nearby, eg leakage from a pipe connected to the
confined space. The enclosure and working space may increase other dangers arising from the work
being carried out, for example:
• machinery being used may require special precautions, such as provision of dust extraction for a
portable grinder, or special precautions against electric shock;
• gas, fume or vapour can arise from welding, or by use of volatile and often flammable solvents,
adhesives etc;
• if access to the space is through a restricted entrance, such as a manhole, escape or rescue in an
emergency will be more difficult (see Emergency procedures).
103
➢ Confined Space Entry Supervisor Responsibilities
The Confined Space Entry Supervisor holds a key position with important responsibilities. This
position is in chargeof confined space work and should:
• Ensure requirements for entry have been completed before entry isauthorized
• Ensure confined space monitoring is performed by personnel qualified and trained in
confined space entry procedures
• Know the hazards that may be faced during entry, including themode, signs or symptoms,
and consequences of exposure
• Determine the entry requirements and that conditions are acceptablefor entry
• Ensure the attendant knows how to communicate with the entrants and how to obtain
assistance
• Ensure periodic atmospheric monitoring is done according to permit requirements
• Ensure the confined space is safely closed and all workers are cleared from the area
• Checking the work at least twice a shift to verify the condition of work place.
➢ Confined Space Entrant Responsibilities

• Employees who are granted permission to enter a confined space should:
• Employees who are granted permission to enter a confined space should:
• Read and observe the entry permit requirements
• Stay alert to the hazards that could be encountered in a confined spaceUse the protective
equipment required by the permit
➢ Confined space entrants must immediately exit the confined

• space when: Ordered to do so by the attendant
• Automatic alarms sound
• They perceive they are in danger
• They notice physiological stresses or changes in themselves or co-workers (e.g., dizziness,
blurred vision, shortness of breath)
➢ Confined Space Attendant Responsibilities
The attendant should be stationed outside the work place and should:
• Maintain a sign in / sign out log with a count of all person in the confine space and ensure
all entrant sign in/ sign out
• Monitor surrounding activities to ensure the safety of personnel;
• Maintain effective and continuous communication with personnel
• during confined space entry, work and exit;
• Order personnel to evacuate the confined space if he
• Observes a condition which is not allowed on the entry permit;
• Notices the entrants acting strangely, possibly as a result of exposure to hazardous
substances
104
• Notices a situation outside the confined space which could

• endanger personnel
• Notices within the confined space a hazard which has not been previously recognized or
taken into consideration
• Must leave work station
❖ Confined space safety precautions
Where possible, avoid entry to confined spaces. Establish if the work is really necessary or if it can
be done in another way that avoids the need to enter.
If entry to a confined space is unavoidable then you must follow a safe system of work. Have
emergency procedures in place before work starts. The results of your risk assessment will help you
identify the risks and necessary precautions.
➢ Safe systems of work

Make sure you have all the relevant information, knowledge and experience to carry out the work.
There needs to be a site specific method statement in place for all employees to adhere to before the
work is carried out.
You may need to have a permit to work system in place.
➢ Ventilation
You will need to ensure there is suitable ventilation within the workplace. You may have to
introduce temporary ventilation before you start.
If the area has restricted or no natural air supply you may have to use breathing apparatus to provide
an air supply to the user.
➢ Isolation
You may need to isolate local utilities to allow your employees to work safely such as
• gas
• water
• electricity.
➢ Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Ensure all your employees have suitable PPE to undertake the work.
Care should be taken to ensure that the PPE used does not introduce other hazards. These can
include overheating or restricting communication or movement.
Ensure your employees have proper
• head, hand and foot protection
• eye and hearing protection
• waterproof and thermal clothing
105
• respirators and breathing apparatus

• appropriate safety harnesses.
➢ Emergency procedures
Put emergency arrangements in place before any work starts. You must put suitable and sufficient
measures in place to make sure employees can be rescued safely if required. You should also
consider
• first aid procedures
• the safety of rescuers
• liaison with emergency services.
They must be appropriate to the hazard presented by the activity.
• There must be an effective means of communication for raising the alarm both from the confined
space and by someone outside.
• Work in confined spaces is often carried out at night, weekends and times when the premises
are closed, for example holidays. Consider how the alarm can be raised.
• Provide rescue and resuscitation equipment. This will depend on the likely emergencies
identified.
• It may be necessary to shut down any adjacent plant before attempting emergency rescue.
Ensure access and a means to safely shut down is available.
• Consider how the local emergency services would be made aware of an incident. Plan what
their route of access is. Also consider what information about the dangers need to be given to
them on their arrival.
➢ Rescuers
Those who are identified as rescuers need to be

• ready at hand
• properly trained
• fit to carry out their task
• protected against the cause of the emergency
• capable of using any equipment provided for rescue, for example breathing apparatus, lifelines
and fire-fighting equipment.
106
➢ Training
Training is critical in all work with confined spaces. Ensure that all employees are given suitable and
appropriate training to carry out the workplace task. This will include emergency procedures and if
required training in the use of breathing apparatus.
➢ Respirator training
Everyday thousands of workers are subjected to airborne contaminates. These different contaminates
can cause great harm to the respiratory system and other vital systems if allowed to enter the human
body. While the human body has natural defense mechanisms in place, they are no match for the
harmful dust, mist, vapors and other airborne contaminates often created in the workplace. To protect
you from such hazards, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, created the
Respiratory Protection
➢ Medical Assessment
• Health questionnaire.
• Height, weight, BMI, waist and hip measurement.
• Blood pressure.
• Vision screening for near and distance.
• Standard urine test for protein and sugar.
• Lung function baseline.
• Hearing test baseline.
➢ FIT TEST
• The test subject shall be allowed to pick the most acceptable respirator from a sufficient number of
respirator models and sizes so that the respirator is acceptable to, and correctly fits, the user.
• Prior to the selection process, the test subject shall be shown how to put on a respirator, how it
should be positioned on the face, how to set strap tension and how to determine an acceptable fit. A
mirror shall be available to assist the subject in evaluating the fit and positioning of the respirator.
This instruction may not constitute the subject's formal training on respirator use, because it is only
a review.
• The test subject shall be informed that is being asked to select the respirator that provides the most
acceptable fit. Each respirator represents a different size and shape, and if fitted and used properly,
will provide adequate protection.
107
➢ Confined Space Rescue Team Responsibilities
The Rescue Team members should:

• Complete a training drill using mannequins or personnel in a simulation of the confined space
prior to the issuance of an entry permit for any confined space and at least annually thereafter;
• Respond immediately to rescue calls from the Attendant or any other person recognizing a need
for rescue from the confined space;
• In addition to emergency response training, receive the same training as that required by the
authorized
• entrants; and
• Have current certification in first-aid and CPR.
➢ Rescue Equipment
The importance of having the right rescue equipment on hand can't be stressed enough.
Rescue equipment mayinclude:
▪ Full body harness
▪ Ladder
▪ Explosion proof lighting
▪ Stretcher
▪ Head protection
▪ First Aid Equipment
108
28.PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Adequate supplies of suitable Personal Protective Equipment shall be maintained by Creet. It is to be

ensured that the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment is issued to and used by their employees and
authorised visitors. All Personal Protective Equipment shall be signed for on the “Control Document”. The
supply of Personal Protective Equipment shall be in accordance with relevant Standards. ======
28.1 Risk Assessment & Equipment Selection
At the start of the Project, a risk assessment should be performed to determine any hazards that require the
use of PPE. This assessment is designed to identify potential hazards to foot, head, eye, face, body and
hand. The assessment consists of a walk-through survey that examines the following:
• sources of motion (i.e., machinery, tool processes, personnel movement);
• sources of high temperature that could result in burns, eye injury, or ignition of PPE;
• sources of chemical exposure;
• sources of harmful dust;
• sources of light radiation (i.e., welding, brazing, cutting, etc.);
• sources of falling objects or potentially dropped objects;
• sources of sharp objects with potential to puncture feet or hands;
• sources of rolling or pinching objects that could crush feet;
• electrical hazards; and
• layout of workplace and worker placement.
• Falling from height
• Drowning into sea etc.
Hazards should be identified and noted during the course of the walk-through. Where hazards exist, identify
the type, level of risk, and seriousness of potential for injury for each hazard. Review any hazards identified
and consider the use of guards or engineering controls that will eliminate or minimize the hazards. For any
remaining hazards, select PPE based on the degree of protection required for the hazard and the protection
provided by the PPE. The hazard assessment must be documented. These documents are maintained by the
Project/Site Safety Representative.
28.2 PPE Issuance
General Personal Protective Equipment shall be issued to individuals at joining in the company prior to
start of any work and will be recorded on an individual Personal Protective Equipment Control Form. The
Personal Protective Equipment Control Form shall then be maintained at the Creet site office for the

29. Temporary Works & required standards:

Temporary works is an “engineered solution” used to support or protect either:
• An existing structure
• The permanent works during construction
• Support an item or plant or equipment
• The vertical sides or side-slopes of an excavation during construction, or
• To provide access
• Formwork / False work – for vertical & Horizontal concrete casting
Temporary works procedures will be established for Temporary Works Procedures for the Design
Checking and Inspection of Temporary Works and the Permissible Stress Design for False work.
A design brief is to be prepared to serve as the starting point for subsequent decisions, design work,
calculations and drawings. The brief is to include all data relevant to the design of temporary works.
Any person involved in the design or coordination of temporary works is to have relevant up to date training
and both the qualifications and experience appropriate to the complexity of the work.
Creet will appoint a temporary work coordinator and will be responsible for the implementation of the
design in accordance with drawings and specifications and for the day-to-day management and progress.
In addition to the above Creet submit the required standards, procedures in Method of statements of This
plan, such as, Excavation, Confined space, lifting operation, Manual handling, concrete work, electrical
work, material handling, night work, hot work, fire protection and prevention and work at height etc. but
not limited to. Creet will prepare and submit the work procedures separate through Method of statement
before starting work during construction stages.
112
An alcohol report will be taken.(if needed)

If both sides agree with one another, they will sign the police report.
Car driver will immediately inform Equipment Department Manager or
his designee.
The assigned Insurance Company will be informed for damages and a damage file
number should be taken from the Insurance Company (Equipment Department)
The vehicle will be taken into the mechanical workshop and its address will
be informed to the Insurance Company.
Absolutely nobody interferes or start to fix the vehicle until an inspector from the
Insurance Company arrives.
The pictures of the damaged vehicle will be taken showing every details of the vehicle.
The both sides involved in the accident together with the Equipment
Department Manager will agree with the Insurance Company Inspector in
terms of mechanical work and the parts, which need to be fixed and/or

30.HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM

The intent of the Project is to ensure that employees who must work with hazardous chemicals / paints are
informed of the hazards as well as of safe methods of handling. Handling and storage are the two most
common causes of accidents with chemicals. There are several ways that the information is relayed to the
employee, these being:
• Container labeling - labels give you immediate hazards associated with the chemical.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) give you detailed information about the chemical – physical
and health hazards, First-Aid, fire fighting, protective equipment, etc.
• Know what you are handling, read the label, and if there is any doubt, consult the Material Safety
Data Sheet.
• All this information is available through the Safety Department (Instructor will give instructions on
how to obtain MSDS sheets). All you have to do is ask and this information will be made available.
113
The evaluation of hazardous materials for human health hazards and the communication
of those hazards to employees will be required for all CREET INTL’ projects/facilities.
All workplaces where employees are exposed to hazardous materials must have a
Written Plan that describes how the requirements of the Hazard Communication Program
will be implemented.
Specific Hazard Communication Program for onsite workers will be developed as

part of the project’s HSE training program and will comprise the following:
❖ Communication to employees regarding hazards and risks:

❖ Employee's right to know about hazards to which they are or may be exposed,
❖ How to identify hazardous materials,
❖ Understanding their associated hazards,
❖ Location of hazardous materials on site,
❖ Safe work practices with regards to handling and use of hazardous materials.
Access to onsite information on hazardous materials,
❖ Updates to information and training for employees initially assigned to new work
areas or when new hazardous materials are introduced to the work area, specific
to work tasks at hand.
❖ All on site personnel, including managers, contractors, and subcontractors,
will be required to comply with the Hazard Communication Program.
31.Waste Management

contractors will dispose of all hazardous materials at designated hazardous waste facilities.
• Appropriate clean up facilities will be located at each hazardous storage area with the disposal and
cleanup of hazardous materials will be performed by properly trained personnel.
• The generation of hazardous waste will be avoided by substitution of non-hazardous substances
where such substitution does not adversely affect or impair the process. In all processes, the
generation of hazardous wastes will be minimized to the greatest extent as possible.
• Each project Manager will be responsible for the disposal of the material and will be required to
demonstrate that such materials are removed and disposed of by licensed contractors in designated
areas.
• All hazardous wastes (including used oil) must be kept in proper containers, labeled appropriately
and stored properly.
31.3 Storage of Hazardous Materials

34. WORKING IN HEAT

This information bulletin provides advice about how to prevent heat illness from
working outdoors in hot weather or where heat is generated as part of work. It deals
with heat illness and related health and safety problems at workplaces. It contains
recommended actions and measures to prevent or minimize the likelihood of heat
illness.
Background
Heat illness occurs when the body cannot sufficiently cool itself. Factors
that contribute to this include:
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Amount of air movement
• Radiant temperature of surroundings
• Clothing
• Physical activity (metabolic heat load).
Heat illness covers a range of medical conditions that can arise when the body is
unable to properly cope with working in heat. These conditions include:
• Heat stroke - a life threatening condition that requires immediate first aid and
medical attention
• Fainting
• Heat exhaustion
• Heat cramps
• Rashes (also called prickly heat)
• Heat fatigue
• Worsening of pre-existing illnesses and conditions.
Signs and symptoms of heat illness include feeling sick, nauseous, dizzy or
weak. Clumsiness, collapse and convulsions may also be experienced as a result
of heat illness.
Workers with these signs or symptoms need to seek immediate medical attention.
Work health and safety laws require the working environment to be safe and without
risks to health and safety, so far as is reasonably practicable. This applies to any risk
to health and safety, including illness from working in heat.
121
What is the risk of heat illness occurring?

There are several factors that need to be considered when determining if there is a risk
of heat illness to workers and ways to protect them.
When identifying heat hazards and controlling heat risks, workers likely to be exposed
to heat as well as with their health and safety representatives (HSRs), if any, must be
consulted.
Identifying heat illness hazards

Air temperature alone cannot be used to determine whether there is a risk of heat
illness. The key risk factors that need to be taken into account are:
• Air temperature
• Humidity (in the environment or workplaces such as laundries and mines)
• Radiant heat (from the sun or other sources such as furnaces and ovens)
• Air movement or wind speed
• Workload (nature of the work and duration)
• Physical fitness of the worker (including acclimatization and any pre-existing
conditions e.g. overweight, heart/circulatory diseases, skin diseases or use
of certain medicines)
• Clothing (including protective clothing such as overalls, coveralls and suits worn
during work).
Preventing heat illness

The risk can also be minimized by modifying workload. This may include:
• Rescheduling work so hot tasks are performed during cooler part of the day
• Doing the work at a different location
• Wearing light clothing that still provides adequate protection
• Reducing the time spent doing hot tasks (e.g. Job rotation)
• Arranging for more workers to do the job
• Providing extra rest breaks in a cool area
• Using mechanical aids to reduce physical exertion
122
Other measures for preventing heat illness

These measures include:
• Keeping people away from hot processes

• Installing the flag.
• Conduct periodic safety meeting/talk
• Providing more rest areas on site.
• Installing the thermometer for temperature monitoring.
• Allowing workers to acclimatize
• Providing cool drinking water near the work site. During hot weather,
workers should be encouraged to drink a cup of water (about 200 ml) every
15 to 20 minutes, and not rely solely on soft drinks or caffeinated drinks
• Providing personal protective equipment (ppe) such as reflective aprons and
face shields for reducing exposure to radiant heat. Outdoor workers should
be provided with protection against ultraviolet exposure, such as wide brim
hat, loose fitting, long-sleeved collared (preferably cotton) shirt and long
pants, sunglasses and sunscreen
• Providing workers with information, instruction and training on recognizing
heat- related illness and on first aid. Adequate supervision of workers is also
required
• Providing first aid facilities and access to medical help.
Use engineering controls to prevent or minimize heat illness

Examples include:
• increasing air movement using fans

• installing shade cloth to reduce radiant heat from the sun
• installing shields or barriers to reduce radiant heat from sources such as
furnaces
• removing heated air or steam from hot processes using local exhaust ventilation
• installing air conditioners or coolers to reduce air temperature and generate air
movement
• locating hot processes away from people
• insulating/enclosing hot processes or plant
• isolating workers from the hot process by locating them in air conditioned
control rooms.
123
If symptoms occur, workers need to rest in a cool, well-ventilated area and drink cool fluids.
If symptoms do not improve quickly, or skin is very hot and dry to touch, seek urgent medical
help.
Plan ahead and ensure all necessary measures for preventing heat illness can be implemented
when hot weather is predicted.
Related health and safety problems

Apart from heat illness, hot working conditions may either contribute to or cause
other health and safety problems, for example:
• loss of grip while handling tools, objects and controls due to sweaty hands
• slips, trips and falls due to fainting or fatigue
• errors/mistakes due to heat fatigue
• not following safe work procedures or cutting corners due to fatigue and/or
discomfort
• not using PPE due to discomfort
• burns from contact with hot surfaces or substances.
Heat discomfort
Heat discomfort is what many people feel when it is hot. It is not a medical
condition like heat illness and therefore is not considered a risk to health. People
who work in office type environments and who do very little physical work are
unlikely to be at risk of suffering heat illness. What they experience as a result of
higher temperature and increased humidity is likely to be heat discomfort.
Heat discomfort can generally be managed by:
• increasing air movement

• providing air conditioning (if practical)
• providing access to cool water
• wearing suitable light, loose fitting clothing.
Thermal comfort is subjective, but generally, conditions considered comfortable

for people working indoors and doing light work are:
• air temperature (dry bulb temperature) 23 to 26 degrees C

• relative humidity 30 to 60 per cent.
124
35. Permit to Work
• PERMIT TO WORK:
For work involved in areas defined as confined spaces or when isolation of either Electrical, Mechanical
or High-Pressure Systems etc. is required, the most satisfactory way of ensuring a safe system of work is
by observing a permit to work system.
The permit to work is an operational document prepared by a responsible person who is familiar with the
work procedures, the hazards and all necessary precautions and who has carried out a thorough assessment
of the situation.
The permit gives a written authority that the area concerned is safe to enter and the work to start, and lays
down the time when it must stop. It sets out the correct sequence of work, the precise way in which the
work is to be done, the responsibilities of all persons involved, and the safety checks made and all the
precautions taken. The permit to work is not issued until the responsible person has put his signature to this
record, signifying that every step in the sequence of safety checks has been taken.
➢ Circumstances in which permits must be used:
These include potentially hazardous non – production work for which Permits to Work are normally
required.
• Working in confined spaces
• Hot work
• Excavation
• Work at height
• Heavy Lifting
Permitting Process on:

• The Construction Manager or appointed nominee responsible for the area of works shall request
Work Permit from the HSE Department or nominated Permit Issuing Authority.
• Safety Supervisor or appointed nominee shall confirm that Method statement and Risk assessment
are in place to cover related task.
• HSE Manager or appointed nominee shall issue a blank permit to construction team.
• Construction team shall review safety requirements and make necessary arrangements for work
location
• Construction team complete Work Permit form and bring to HSE Manager or nominee
• HSE Manager or nominee shall conduct physical inspection of work area with Construction
Manager or nominee.
125
• HSE Manager or nominee shall sign and issue permit if satisfied all requisite Safety precautions
are in place.
• Copy of permit issued to Site team. Original kept with HSE Department.
• Following completion of works, copy of Permit is brought back to Permit issuing Authority.
• Area of works re-inspected by HSE Officer or nominee to confirm that normal working conditions
have been restored
• Permit copy and original are signed as closed by Permit issuing authority and kept on file.
36.LOCK-OUT & TAG-OUT
1. Identifying Energy Sources and Energy-Isolating Devices
The first step in controlling energy is to identify equipment in your workplace that needs service or
maintenance. To identify equipment that needs servicing or maintenance:
1. determine the form of energy that powers the equipment, including potential energy that may
remain when the energy source is disconnected; and
2. label the energy sources so that workers will know which energy source powers what equipment.
Before an authorized employee turns off a machine or equipment, he must have knowledge of the type
and magnitude of the energy, the hazards of the energy to be controlled, and the method or means to
control the energy.
Identify equipment that needs service or maintenance. Determine the types of energy (there may be more
than one) that powers the equipment, including potential energy that may remain when the energy
sources are disconnected.
126
Step 2. De-Energize Equipment
Turn off or shut down equipment following established procedures. Stop buttons and on/off switches are
used to shut down equipment. However, it's important to know that turning off the equipment does not
separate the equipment from its energy sources.
The method you use to de-energize equipment depends on the types of energy and the means to control it.
After the equipment has been shut down, engage the equipment’s energy-isolating devices, physically
separating the equipment from the energy. For compressed air, this could mean closing a specific
manually operated valve. For an electric motor, this could mean opening a manually operated circuit
breaker.
➢ Safe practices for de-energizing equipment:

• Disconnect equipment from energy sources.
• Disconnect motors from the equipment.

• Disconnect electrical circuits (including batteries).
• Block the fluid flow in hydraulic, pneumatic, or steam systems with control valve, blinds, or both.
• Block equipment parts or materials that could be moved by gravity.
Step 3. Secure Energy-Isolating Devices In a Safe Position
When equipment has been shut down, and then de-energized using an energy-isolating device, nothing
will prevent the energy-isolating device from accidentally (or intentionally) being turned on, reopened, or
reactivated until it is secured.
Locking out, also known as lockout (LO), is a procedure for physically securing energy-isolating devices
in an off, closed, or neutral position. A lockout device – typically a lock with a unique key – secures the
energy-isolating device in a safe position. When an energy-isolating device is secured by a lockout
device, it physically prevents the energy-isolating device from being manipulated.
127
Step 4. Dissipate or Restrain Potential Energy That Can't Be Isolated
Stored energy must be released or restrained after equipment has been de-energized.
If the energy could return to a hazardous level, make sure that it remains isolated from the equipment
until all service work is finished. Sources of stored energy include:
• capacitors;
• coiled springs;
• elevated machine parts;
• rotating flywheels; and
• air, gas, steam, chemical, and hydraulic systems.
Safe practices for dissipating potential energy:

• Drain pressurized fluids or gases until internal pressure levels reach atmospheric levels.
• Discharge capacitors by grounding them.
• Double block and bleed process piping.
• Release or block tensioned springs.
• Ensure that all moving parts, such as flywheels and saw blades, have come to a complete stop.
• Allow equipment components to cool (or warm) to safe thermal levels.
Just shutting off the air supply to an automatically operated air valve or turning off a hydraulic power unit
without bleeding off the pressure does not make up energy isolation. Energy isolation is achieved when
there is no energy left to be released. For this reason, many companies refer to their energy control
program as zero energy state.
Step 5. Verify Equipment Isolation
Verification means confirming that equipment is separated from its energy source; therefore, it is
"isolated." The authorized employee must verify that:
• Equipment has been properly turned off/shut down.
• Energy-isolating devices were identified and used to effectively isolate energy.
• Individual lockout or tag out devices have been attached to the energy-isolating devices.
• Stored energy has been removed or controlled.
128
Attempting to restart the equipment is one way to confirm isolation; however, testing equipment ensures
that capacitors have been properly discharged, hazardous heat has dissipated, and excessive pressures
have been relieved.
37.FRAME WORK – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The heavy frame construction such as in timber framing, pole building framing, or steel
framing is considered dangerous activity hence the following safety precautions shall be
followed in order minimize occupational risk and avoid accidents.
✓ Set up equipment on level ground.

✓ Avoid rough & difficult terrain
✓ Use riggers gloves when required.
✓ Safety boots to be worn.
✓ Use a crane, winch or other mechanical lifting aid to lift objects in and
out of vehicles. Use lifting aids such as trolleys to move materials to work
areas. Build a ramp for access where necessary. Have equipment and
materials delivered as close as possible to work areas. Where the above
are not practicable, team lifting may be used but only as a last resort
measure and by personnel aware of correct lifting techniques.
✓ Site staff to be aware of entry & set up area of trucks & cranes.
✓ Crane & truck drives to be made aware of location of
✓ Minimize for on the spot cutting by ordering pre-cut components
✓ Power tools to be used by experienced operators. Ensure operators have
read the power tool manual and are familiar with its safe use.
✓ Ensure working guards are fitted and used correctly.
✓ Eye protection to be worn
✓ Ensure that power is only obtained from a protected power supply with
RCD, over current protection and in compliance with AS 3012 and the
Industry Standard for Electrical Installations on Construction Sites
✓ Do not use electrical tools, or extension leads and appliances unless these
have current test tags attached. Extension leads to be kept elevated on
insulated hangers or stands and not in direct contact with metal
✓ Wear appropriate hearing protection.
✓ Competent person to operate nail gun. Wear hearing and eye protection.
Avoid awkward postures when using nail gun.
✓ Restrict access to frame work area. Erect completed frames immediately
or stack frames out of the way.
✓ Keep frame sizes to a minimum for ease of handling. Use lifting aids or
team lifting by two or more persons to move frames.
✓ Clear area used for access. Maintain clear travel paths. Ensure site is clear
of any debris and obstructions.
129
✓ Consult team for lifting when required to move any heavy obstructions.
✓ Remove any loose blocking before standing frames
✓ Ensure ladders are level & stable before using.
✓ Ensure all ladders are in good condition and of industrial grade.
✓ Keep hands & limbs clear when firing guns.
✓ Provide training in the use of nail guns.
✓ Clear work area of debris & obstructions
✓ Avoid rough terrain.
✓ Ensure team lifting when placement of joists off ladder.
✓ Ensure ladders are level & stable before using.
✓ Ensure all ladders are in good condition and of industrial grade.
✓ Keep hands & limbs clear when firing.
✓ Ensure site personnel are clear of firing area.
38. BAD WHEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Lightning:
• Withdraw personnel from high elevations, on structural steel members, pipe racks, rooftops,
process columns, antennas, etc.
• Make sure that personnel do not group together and/or huddle under or near tall structures.
• Avoid a depression with standing water.
• Have all crane booms made safe as per manufacturer’s instructions; booms lowered to the ground
or retracted to the shortest boom length possible.
• All cranes, derricks, gin poles, and erection rigs unable to be boomed down must be grounded
from their booms to the ground. And the proper barricade and warning sign must be set.
Heavy Winds
• Heavy winds are considered winds above 25k/m (16 mi/h). When high winds create hazard to the
workforce or work being performed, i.e., instability in elevated areas, limited visibility due
to dust particles in the air, unmanageable materials, etc., supervision will stop work activities, and
reassign duty and work area, supervisor to ensure materials are properly stored and secured.
• For winds in excess of 32k/m (20 mi/h) all standard and critical crane lifts shall be halted and
crane booms shall be secured as per manufacturer’s instructions and/or tied down.
39. Shut off gas and/or the flow of flammable liquids.
40. Shut down work at height
41. Shut down all crane operations
42. Cover equipment and materials to protect against weather exposure.
43. Tie down and effectively secure all materials to limit the risk of flying debris
44. Securely support structures under construction.
45. Eliminate or minimize ignition sources.
o Before re-starting construction operations:
➢ Inspect for live power lines, leaking flammable gases or liquids and structures in danger of falling.
130
➢ Separate damaged from undamaged materials.

➢ Inspect for structural stability of building structures, scaffolds, material stockpiles
Rain
• Strong localized heavy rains are possible creating a hazard to craftsmen on work being performed, such
as unstable footing conditions due to slippery structural steel, muddy and flooded work environment,
unstable trenches or excavations, risk of electric shock due to wet portable electrical equipment, poor
visibility due to rain on eye protection, supervision will stop specific work due to the hazard,
• de-energize temporary electrical equipment, and reassign work duties and/or areas, obtaining further
instructions from project site management.
Hot Temperature
Outdoor workers who are exposed to hot and humid conditions are at risk of heat‐related illness. The risk
of heat‐related illness becomes greater as the weather gets hotter and more humid. This situation is
particularly serious when hot weather arrives suddenly early in the season, before workers have had a
chance to adapt to warm weather. For people working outdoors in hot weather, both air temperature and
humidity affect how hot they feel. The "heat index" is a single value that takes both temperature and
humidity into account. The higher the heat index, the hotter the weather feels, since sweat does not
readily evaporate and cool the skin. The heat index is a better measure than air temperature alone for
estimating the risk to workers from environmental heat source
➢ Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids; drink about 16 ounces before starting and 5 to 7 ounces every
15 or 20 minutes.
➢ Avoid dehydrating liquids. Alcohol, coffee, tea and caffeinated soft drinks can hurt more than help.
➢ Wear protective clothing. Lightweight, light‐colored and loose‐fitting clothing helps protect against
heat. Change clothing if it gets completely saturated.
➢ Pace yourself. Slow down and work at an even pace. Know your own limits and ability to work
safely in heat.
➢ Schedule frequent breaks. Take time for rest periods and water breaks in a shaded or air conditioned
area.
➢ Use a damp rag. Wipe your face or put it around your neck.
➢ Avoid getting sunburn. Use sunscreen and wear a hat if working outside.
➢ Be alert to signs of heat‐related illness. Know what to look for and check on other workers that
might be at high risk.
➢ Avoid direct sun. Find shade or block out the sun if possible.
➢ Eat smaller meals. Eat fruits high in fiber and natural juice. Avoid high protein
131
39. SITE SECURITY

It is the intent of Creet to prevent excessive loss and unnecessary exposure to the public and to prevent
theft, vandalism and damage to property and equipment during construction of the project creet
personnel will work with project partners, stake holder and the public to ensure that hazards are
recognized and addressed where applicable
Creet will discuss site security plan with all sub-contractors during pre-construction meetings and
throughout the construction process. As an example this plan may include and consider the following
• Production of the public

• Work area security
• Theft protection
• Tool and equipment security
• Prevention of Vandalism
• Fencing and signage’s
• Parking
• Visitor sign in page
• Emergency access
• Site emergency control plan
• Notification procedures
40. TEMPORARY LABOUR CAMPS
Creet Workers will be accommodated in separate Camps in accordance with the requirements of
KSA Labor Law, Resolution of the Minister of Civil Service and Housing Affairs & and the
Migrant Workers Standard.Creet provide his Workers safety, health, first aid, firefighting,
recreation, catering, laundry, layout design, housekeeping, equipment and services maintenance,
environmental, pest control, etc., and key personnel allocated to each of these functions will be
adhered to and submitted prior to being built and occupied. Off the Job Safety Health and Life style
workers will be encouraged to live a healthy life style this will include providing advice on healthy
living, providing recreational activities, and healthy food choices.
132
41. Food waste
The Waste Management (Food Waste) to larger construction sites that contain a canteen that is used to
supply food to the site workforce. The Regulations require all major producers of food waste to place it
into a dedicated bin and ensure that it is not mixed with other waste. A brown bin collection service
must be used so that the collected food waste is subsequently recycled by composting or by other
approved recycling processes. Alternatively, businesses affected by this legislation can transport the
food waste directly to a recycling plant or can treat it themselves by installing a properly authorised
composting unit on the premises where the waste is generated. This new legislation is designed to
ensure that all major commercial sources of food waste make a contribution to increasing national
recycling levels. The legislation is necessary because less than 10% of food waste generated by
commercial businesses is presently recycled in Ireland. In practice this material can be recovered
relatively easily. Besides resulting in increased recycling, the purpose of the legislation is to comply
with EU legislation. The Landfill Directive requires all EU Member States to reduce the amount of
waste sent to landfill sites by a series of yearly, and increasingly stringent, targets. A failure to meet
these targets may cause Ireland having to pay heavy fines due to non-compliance with the legislation.
➢ Key Obligations
A key requirement of the Food Waste Regulations is that food waste must be kept separate from other
waste. This prevents it becoming contaminated and unsuitable for recycling. The legislation also
prevents segregated food waste from being disposed of by being sent to landfill. A business that is
subject to this legislation has three alternative options for its segregated food waste: s The waste can be
collected by a waste collector that is offering a brown bin collection service. The collector always must
take it to an approved plant for recycling by composting or by another similar process; s The waste can
be transported by the business directly to a composting plant or other type of food waste recycling
facility; or s The waste can be dealt by the business on-site using an authorized composting unit.
42. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS:

Alcohol causes an estimated three to five percent of absences from work, equating to an estimated cost to
business, it can also cause:
• loss of productivity and poor performance
• lateness and absenteeism
• safety concerns
• bad behavior or poor discipline
• adverse effects on company image and customer relations
Alcohol can also cause resentment among employees who have to ‘carry’ colleagues whose work declines
because of their drinking. Drinking even small amounts of alcohol before or while carrying out work that
is ‘safety critical’ will also increase the risk of an accident.
Government guidance, Alcohol and Drugs is completely banned in Saudi Arabia. This includes
consuming, importing, brewing and selling alcohol. Officially, there is no way that you are able to get
hold of alcohol in Saudi Arabia. It has been reported before that people have even been arrested for just
smelling like alcohol and the best advice is not to drink at all:
133
• Before or during driving

• Before using machinery, electrical equipment or ladders
• Before working or in the workplace where due to the nature of the work, judgment would be adversely
affected by alcohol
• Be in possession of, or supply any drug of abuse in the workplace or whilst at work
• Consume any drug of abuse or alcohol in the workplace or whilst at work
• Use of substances, such as paint and solvent’s fume etc.
• Tobacco mixed with other drugged, like lime etc.
➢ PROCEDURE OF TESTING ALCOHAL AND DRUGS
Conduct of Testing and Testing Limits
• All employees, contractors and visitors at site are to cooperate with the testing process as
provided for in these guidelines.
• Breath testing for alcohol will be conducted by the collector using an electronic breath analysis
device that has been calibrated and certified by the manufacturer of the device or an
accredited testing agency.
• Breath specimen collection and testing will be performed in accordance with recognised breath
testing practices and the device manufacturer’s instructions.
• If an initial test of an individual’s breath sample equals or exceeds the prescribed limit they
shall be required to wait 20 minutes and a follow-up test conducted. If the follow-up test equals
or exceeds the prescribed limit, a positive result will be recorded for the individual.
The prescribed limit for alcohol testing will be as appropriate for the specific site and the duties
of the individual and at the discretion of the Workplace Manager. As a guide the prescribed
limit would be zero blood alcohol content for operators of equipment and .05% blood alcohol
content for all other than operators of equipment.
43. Site work clothes
➢ Comfort: At work, the last thing you want to think about is your clothes! You need comfortable,
tight-fitting work clothes: if the sleeves or sides are too long, you may have trouble performing your
daily tasks. Oversized or ill-fitting clothes can be dangerous since they could easily catch on fire or
get stuck in a moving machine.
➢ Safety: It is essential to choose your safety clothing according to your work environment and tasks.
They must be adapted and protect you against hazards. For example, if you work in a place where
visibility is reduced, you will need to get high-visibility work clothing to signal your presence to
your colleagues.
134
➢ Durability: Some environments produce difficult working conditions. It is important that your
work clothing is made of good quality materials so that it can withstand wear and tear, bad
conditions and frequent washing without exposing you to the risk of accidents.
• Flex Pants – These have become very popular over the last few years. Many construction workers like
a heavy duty work pant that has a bit of stretch. These pants usually combine cotton and spandex, but
still need toughness to stand up on the job site. To read more, visit our article about the best flexible
paint
• Shirt Jackets – many of them may prefer a lighter-weight jacket for more mild temperatures. Many
workers will wear a canvas shirt jacket , while others may turn to a hooded flannel shirt jacket. This will
be dependent on how heavy-duty they need the jacket to be.
