89 | P a g e

Formula (B) for materials:-

VM = [0.78 P X K2 / 100 – C] X I1 – I0/ I0

Where,

VL = Amount of price variation adjustment – increase or decrease in rupees due to Labour

Component.

VM = Amount of Price Variation Adjustment – increase or decrease in rupees on account of

materials component.

P = Cost of work done during the period under consideration (bill period) as per Gross amount of

bill excluding, cost of extra or substituted items, rates of which are fixed on prevalent market

rates and advances on materials and / or adjustment thereof; if any. This will also exclude the

cost of installation of Lift works PVA for which will be paid under a separate clause as per

Annexure:

C = Cost of material, if any, for which basic rates are specified.

K1 = Percentage of labour component as calculated, as indicated in Note (1) below. K2 = Percentage of material component as indicator in Note (2) below.

Co = Consumer price index – General Index number for industrial workers (Base 2001 = 100)

Site access limitations

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

HEAD PROTECTION

246

In the vast majority of construction operations, there is a fore seeable risk of persons incurring an injury to the head, either due to falling material, or due to the head striking against an other object.

Required SafetyStandards;

• A safety helmet is required to be used on construction site, excavation work, over head crane operation, low structures/pipes/beams or whenever there is risk of head injury.

• All contracts shall be classed as “Hard Hat Areas” and notices shall be displayed. • Any one having control over other persons at work has a duty to ensure that head protection is

worn. This applies to main contractors, sub contractors and also to individuals such as site managers,foremen, engineers and surveyors. Examples below are situations where head protection may not be required, but will still have to be worn to cross the site:

• Maintenance work on completed buildings where there is sufficient head room and no multi layers of workinglevels.

• Inside site offices, temporary accommodation etc. • Inside the cabs of vehicles and plant, if provided with falling object protection. • When work is at ground level,eg.road works such as kerblaying or resurfacing

EYEPROTECTION

Required Safety Standards • Should be industrial standard eye protectors like spectacles, goggles and faceshields. • Suitable face and eye protect or must be worn by employees to protect face/eyes

against any flying particles/ splash of chemical/hot solutions. • Impact resistant safety glasses with side shields/safety goggles/full face shield

suitable for grinding, buffing, chipping operators shall be provided and used. • Welding masks with appropriate filter glasses must be used when performing welding operations • In addition, eye wash fountain shall be readily available at the site. In remote

locations,eye wash bottles may be substituted.

247

HEARING PROTECTION

Ear defenders are used to prevent loss of hearing when persons would otherwise be exposed to levels of noise which are considered to be hazardous.

The maximum levels to which persons may be exposed are expressed as a function of intensity and time, eg. 90 decibels [db (A)] for a period of 8 hours or its equivalent. This value is quoted as the equivalent continuous sound level or 90 db(A).The noise levels in any particular working environment to shout over a distance of 1 metre of 1 metre or less in order to be heard,then the noise level may be excessive. Required safety standards

• Persons working in areas with excessive noise above 90 dB(A), shall wear ear muffs/earplugs. • High noise level areas should be identified and appropriate warning notices should be exhibited to

warm employees.

FOOT PROTECTION

Required safety standards • Standard safety boots with metal toe caps must be worn by all personnel on site and in places

where foot injury could occur.

248

• Inspecific operations, rubber boots with steel toe should be used.

Protective footwear is used to: • Provide protection to the toes in the event of material falling on the foot by the use of a steel toe

cap built into the boot or on the outside surface. • Prevent injury by the penetration of nails and similar sharp objects.Steel mid soles are standard

only on some boots and shoes and are preferred for building construction sites. • Provide protection against the ingress of water. Rubber/ wellington boots are used when persons

are required to work with their feet in wet substances, such as concrete or mud and for work in places such as sewers.

• Provide a good grip on surfaces which are potentially slippery. • Provide protection during certain specific operations, eg: special electrical safety shoes should be used

by those involved in electrical trades.

249

HAND PROTECTION

Required safety standards • Hand gloves must be used in jobs likely to cause injury to hands. • Gloves must be used near moving machinery parts. • PVC/rubber gloves must be used when handling chemicals. • Electricians using tested rubber gloves must check them for defects prior to start of work. • Select and use the gloves suitable for the job.

250

BODY PROTECTION

Require safety standards • Wear proper protective clothing/cover all (loose or baggy clothing is not permitted in work areas) • A PVC apron must be worn against splash from any chemical or corrosive substances, hazard of hot

metal/sparks. • Full PVC suit to cover full body is required for persons entering

tanks/vessels/sumps/pits to protect against any chemical /corrosive substance.

Type of body protection

Wet weather clothing

• Usually in the form of PVC either one or two piece suits, and often in company livery. PVC clothing particularly prone to condensation on the inside and the incorporation of vents will help all eviate the problem. Clothing manufactured from a breathable fabric is available, but is quite expensive.

High visibility clothing

• Normally in the form of waist coats or jackets for use when workers are working adjacent to moving

traffic, either on public highways,or on such operations as earth moving.These garments will incorporate retro reflective strips front and rear.

Overalls

• These will normally be made of poly cotton and arrangements must be made for regular cleaning specialist trades such as asbestos strippers and leadburners will have lightweight overalls suited to the operation, such overalls may be of the disposable type.

251

Leather aprons • Used by welders and burners to provide protection againsts parks and molten metal

which might otherwise ignite their clothing • Trousers

• Incorporating ballistic nylon nor similar material are available to give round leg protection to chain saw operators.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT(RPE)

Whether toxic materials, which are liable to produce, dust, gases or vapours are being used, or are present in the working environment, there is always a respiratory hazard. Ideally, the contaminant shouldbe controlled at source to minimize the hazard, but this is often not possible. If it is necessaryto provide RPE the first step is to determine whether the environment is deficient in oxygen is present, but the air is contaminated air, purifying equipment (respirators) can be used.

The overall choice of equipment is wide. As the wrong choice could seriously affect the health of the wearer, or lead to asphyxiation, expert advice is essential combined with training and information being given to the wearer. In addition, cleaning and maintenance facilities for the equipment must be provided to ensure continued effective protection.

Required safety standards

• Dust mask respirators must be worn to protect against dust particles. • Chemical cartridge respiration must be worn when painting/spraying solvent or chemicals. • When there is potential for the presence of toxic gas/vapour or oxygen deficient

atmosphere, the self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. • Only authorised/qualified personnel can issue Respiratory Protective Equipment. • Persons trained/ certified on the usage of self contained breathing apparatus shall be engaged and

the work should ne done under direct supervision. The basic tests to ensure proper fitting of face

252

masks must be done before each operation. • Proper selection and use of RPE should be ensured by taking into consideration hazardous

operation, contaminant time, protection from the particular equipment,limitations, state of health of individual.

• When working with asbestos, staff shall be provided with respiratory equipment approved for use with asbestos which does not allow penetration by, or retain dust and which should be a cause fit with head cover.

• When engaged in girl blasting, the use of air supplied hood is essential if blasting in direct contact with the dust/grit.

SAFETYHARNESSESANDBELTS

253

The main reason for the use of safety harnesses is to limit the distance of any fall and thereby minimisingthe risk of injury. They will also be used to facilitate the rescue or persons working in confined spaces, such as manholes etc. Safety belts are not suitable for arresting a fail, but only as a restraint to preven taccess to a danger area.

254

Required safety standards

• Safety belts with lifelines must be worn when hazards of falling from height exist or when working on elevated platforms or baskets.

• Select the proper safety belts and use it.

• Safety belts shall be examined periodically. Defective and worn out safety belts must never be used.

• Rescue safety belts with harness/lifeline must be worn when an employee is working in a confined space.

• When using ladders,a fall arrest device connected to bodyharness must be used.

Types of harnesses and belts

Full body harness

This comprises straps, fittings, buckles etc.suitably arranged to support the whole body of a person and to restrain the wearer during a fall and after the arrest of a fall. The harness should be fittedwitha lanyard which will limit the fall to maximum of 2m. The use of an energy absorber to further minimise risk of injury during arrest, is strongly recommended.

General purpose belts and chest harnesses Are used in situations where short duration work is necessary in areas where provision or fall prevention measures would be impracticable. Belts and harnesses should be fitted with a line of the appropriate length to prevent access to the danger area.

Rescueharness A rescue harness is used for protecting or rescuing workmen entering dangerous enclosed places it must be capable of reasonable adjustment, be easy to fit in a emergency and the used in such a way that the fall is limited to 600mm.

Use of harnesses and belt It is of the utmost importance that, whenever a safety belt or harness is provided, there is also an effective means of fixing it to the structure at all times while the protection is required. All too often, a belt or harness is provided in the hope that the wearer may find some whereto attach it. It is also vital that the fixing point for a harness is strong to withstand the snatch load of a fall. The use of two lanyards will sometimes be necessary to ensure constant attachment whilst moving.

The distance of fall should be as small as is possible, and to that end, the harness lanyard should be fixed to the structure, or fixing point,as high as practicable above the working position.

255

ENERGYABSORBINGDEVICES

An energy absorber should be part of a fall arrest system whenever possible. In order to reduce the possibility of injury to the body in the event of a fall, energy absorbers have been developed. These devises installed between harness and the anchorage point, allow the fall to be slowed down, thus absorbing energy and reducing the final load on the body.

Use

• Choose the correct type of anchorage point or restraint system. • Choose the correct type of equipment. • Assess the possible free fall distance. • Check for dangerous obstacles which a person could hit or swing into.

Inspection Check the equipment prior to use for damage Note: if a harness and lanyard has been subjected to a fall, they should be disposed of and replaced. The human eye cannot evaluate the stresses that have been put on the equipment and next time they may not work. A suitably qualified person should inspect energy absorbing devices, anchorages and systems annually or following afall.

Training

• Ensure you have received comprehensive instructions from the supplier asto the devices proper use and application.

• Train personnel in the correct use of equipment and the procedures that should be followed. • Putin place emergency procedures and have means available to promptly rescue an employee

should a fall occur, since the suspended employee may not be able to reach a work level independently.

256

SCAFFOLDSAFETY

More than half of scaffold accidents in construction are falls. Several fatalities are also related to scaffolds each year.The number and severity of injuries involved make scaffold accidents one of the more serious safety problems in construction.

PROBLEM AREAS Themain problem areas are

• Erecting and dismantling scaffolds • Climbing up and down scaffolds • Planks sliding off or breaking • Improper loading or over loading • Platforms not fully planked or“decked” • Platforms without guardrails • Failure to installall required components such as baseplates,connections,and braces • Moving rolling scaffolds in the vicinity of overhead electrical wires • Moving rolling scaffolds with workers on the platform.

1. Erecting and Dismantling

From 15 to 20% of scaffold-related injuries involve erecting and dismantling. The most common problem is the failure to provide an adequate working platform for a worker to use when installing the next lift of scaffold. Working from one or two planksis not recommended. The next important consideration involves components, such as tie-ins,which you should install as the assembly progresses.Failure to do so makes the scaffold less stable and, while it may not topple, it may sway or move enough to knock someone off the platform. This happens more often when platforms are only one or two planks wide and guardrails are missing, as is frequently the case during erection and dismantling.

2. Climbing Up and Down

Approximately 15% of scaffold-related injuries occur when workers are climbing up and down.Climbing up and down frames is a common but unacceptable practice that has resulted in numerous injuries and fatalities. Climbing up and down braces is also a frequent cause of accidents. You must provide adequate ladders to overcome this problem.Inaddition,workers must use proper climbing techniques (three-pointcontact).

3. Planks Sliding Off or Breaking

Many scaffold injuries involve problems with planks. If scaffold planks are uncleated or otherwise unsecured they easily slide off– this causes a surprising number of injuries. Scaffold planks can also break if they are in poor condition or overloaded.It is therefore important to use proper grades of lumber and to inspect planks before erection to ensure that there are no weak areas, deterioration, or cracks. Another common problem is insufficient or excessive overhang of planks at their support. Excessive overhang can cause a plank to tip up when a worker stands on the overhanging portion. Insufficient overhang is a leading cause of planks slipping off.

257

4. Improper Loading or Overloading Overloading causes excessive deflection in planks and can lead to deterioration and breaking. Overloading occurs most often in the masonry trade where skids of material can exceed 1,500 kg(3,000lb.).If materialis left overhanging the scaffold platform it can cause an imbalance leading to the scaffold overturning.

5. Platforms Not Fully Decked This situation is related to injuries not only during erection and

dismantling but in general scaffold use. The Construction Regulation (On tario Regulation 213/91) requires that all scaffold platforms must beat least 450 mm(18inches)wide.All platforms above 2.4 metres(8 feet)must be fully decked.

6. Platforms without Guardrails

Platforms without guardrails are a serious safety problem in construction. Guardrails are an important fall prevention measure not only for high platforms but also for low ones. Over one-third of the falls from scaffolds are from platforms less than 3 metres (10 feet) in height. Therefore, guardrails are recommended during normal use for all scaffold platforms over 1.5 metres (5 feet) high. Guardrails for all working platforms should consist of a toprail, a mid-rail, and a toeboard.

7. Failure to Install All Required Components

Failure to use all of the proper scaffold components Is a serious safety problem.Workers are more likely to cut corners when scaffolds are only a few frames in height.All too frequently they fail to install baseplates, braces, proper securing devices such as“banana”clips or“pigtails”at the pins of frame scaffolds, and adequate tie-ins. Those erecting the scaffold must have all the necessary components, and must use them to ensure that the scaffold is safe. Further more, workers should install these parts asthe scaffold erection progresses.

8. Electrical Contact with Overhead Wires

Scaffolds seldom make contact with overhead electrical lines, but when it does happen it almost always results in a fatality. Failure to maintain safe distances from overhead power lines while moving scaffolds is a major Problem. Before attempting to move rolling scaffolds in outdoor open areas, check the route carefully to ensure that no overheadwires are in the immediate vicinity. Partial dismantling may be necessary in some situations to ensure that the scaffold will make the required safe clearances from overhead power lines. Hoisting scaffold material by forklift or other mechanical means requires careful planning and should be avoided in the vicinity of powerlines. Transporting already erected scaffolds by forklift, particularly in residential construction, has been the cause of many electrical contacts—this is a dangerous practice.Workers handling materials or equipment while working on the platform must also take care to avoid electrical contact.

9. Moving Rolling Scaffolds with Workers on the Platform

Moving rolling scaffolds with workers on the platform can be dangerous. Where it is impractical for workers to climb down, and the scaffold is over 3 metres (10feet) in height, each worker must be tied off with a full body harness and lanyard. Lifelines must be attached to a suitable

258

anchor point other than the scaffold. Holes, depressions, curbs, etc. have all been responsible for scaffolds overturning while being moved. In some jurisdictions, moving a scaffold with workers on the platform is prohibited if the platform exceeds acertain height.

Supported scaffolds

Never use scaffolds that do not have proper guardrails installed

259

Unstable objects will not be used as working platforms

Cross-braces prohibited as means of access

260

No barrels, boxes or ladders on top of scaffolds

The planking is to be of Scaffold Grade wood or metal, free of defects that may contribute to an accident.

261

3 SELECTION

The safe and efficient use of scaffolding depends first on choosing the right system for the job. If the scaffold s̓ basic characteristics are unsuited to the task, or if all the necessary components are not available, personnel are forced to make do and improvise. These conditions lead to accidents. Proper selection of scaffolding and related components requires basic knowledge about site conditions and the work to be done.Considerations include:

Weight of workers,tools,materials, and equipment to be carried by the scaffold Siteconditions (e.g., interior, exterior, backfill, concrete floors, type and condition of walls,

access for the equipment, variations in elevation,anchorage points)

Height or heights to which the scaffold may be erected.

Type of work that will be done from the scaffold (e.g., masonry work, sand blasting, painting,metal siding,mechanical installation,suspended ceiling installation).

Duration of work

Experience of the supervisor and crew with the types of scaffolds available. Requirements for pedestrian traffic through and under the scaffold Anticipated weather conditions Ladders or other access to the platform Obstructions configuration of the building or structure being worked on Special erection or dismantling

problems including providing practical fall protection for the erector.

Casters and wheels locked to prevent movement while in a stationary position

Open-ended or open-sided platforms must have standard guardrails

262

FIRESAFETY

Familiarize yourself with the nearest pull stations and fire extinguishers

263

Fire doors should never be propped open by using a foreign object.

Basic fire safety knowledge is an important skill that can save your life on or off the job. Here we will break down basic characteristics of a fire, important fire safety tips, what to do if you find yourself involved with a fire and some discussion points for your group.

Characteristics of Fire

To support fire, you must have; HEAT, FUEL, OXYGEN, and SUSTAINED CHEMICAL REACTION A small fire can grow out of control in as little as 30 seconds. A room involved with a fire can have a temperature of 100° Cat floor level and 600° Cat In less than 5 minutes a room can flash over.

Fire starts bright but will quickly turn the room pitch black from releasing smoke and

be familiar with your surroundings and evacuation routes!

Fire Safety Tips

An important fire safety tip is to look for and eliminate any potential fire hazards before they become a reality!

Know where pull stations and extinguishers are located. Time is the biggest enemy, get out of the

building!

If a fire, pull nearest fire alarm if possible, if not, call for help from a safe location outside.

If smoke, stay a slow to the ground as possible.

If safe, close all doors behind you as you leave the building.

264

Don’t use the elevator for evacuation because the shaft can act as a chimney.

Elevators also present an entrapment hazard if they fail. Never return to a burning

building.

ELECTRICALSAFETY

With this tool box talk we will shed light upon basic electrical safety geared towards non- electricians.

Extension cords/Power Strips Extension cords should not be used in place of permanent wiring. Ensure that cords are in proper working condition (the outer insulation should not be cracked/broken, the ground pin needs to be intact). Discard unsafe extension cords.

Only licensed electricians are authorized to replace plugs, or splice cords. Extension cords need to be protected from motor vehicles,forklifts, pallet jacks,heavy pedestrian traffic,etc. Power strips should not be permanently mounted to a wall or any other structure, even if the power strip has specific mounting fittings.

Power strips or extension cords should not be connected to each other.Doing this can overload the circuit creating a potential fire hazard.

Circuit Overload Protection Devices: These devices are designed to protect the wiring in a house/building and to prevent a potential fire. Fuses- Break the circuit when too much current is flowing through the circuit. A small conductor inside the fuse heats up and melts when it reaches a specific temperature. Circuit Breakers- As current increases in the circuit, an electro magnet inside the breaker

generates increased magnetic force, eventually being great enough to pull the switch on the breaker from the “on”to the“off” position.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters GFCIs are designed to protect people from an electric shock. A GFCI works by detecting a current drop from the hot to the neutral wiring in a circuit.The GFCI detects energy that is escaping the circuit. GFCIs should be installed wherever a water hazard is present. You will commonly find GFCI plugs on hairdryers,wet vacs,etc.

265

GFCIs can be at the breaker, the outlet, incorporated with the plug of the appliance/piece of equipment, or part of a short extension cord.

Other common Electrical Safety Issues Discard any piece of equipment that gives you even the slightest shock. If the resistance through your body is lowered i.e.standing in water or touching metal,even the slightest shock can be deadly. Never use electrical equipment in or around water. Junction boxes and electrical panels need to have proper covers in place to conceal all wiring. Hard wiring should not be exposed/accessible to non-electrical employees.

266

Never connect extension cords/power strips to each other

GFCI– Should be installed in any location with apotential water hazard. (Either at the outlet or the circuit breaker)

267

COMPRESSEDGASCYLINDERS

Storage: Cylinders must be secured to prevent tipping.

Transportation- Use appropriate carts for transporting cylinders

Compressed gas cylinders can pose serious hazards.Their contents can present chemical hazards (flammable, toxic, corrosive) and the cylinders could present a physical hazard.

Transportation Valve protection caps must be in place when compressed gas cylinders are transported. Secure compressed gas cylinders in an upright position on an approved carrier while being transported. Cylinders should never be stored horizontally in a vehicle.

268

Handling Use only approved spark igniters to light torches.

If a leak develops in a cylinder and it cannot be immediately corrected,move the cylinder to a safe location outside thebuilding if possible and contact the fire department. Keep oxygen and flammable gas regulators in proper working order and a wrench in position on the acetylene valve when in use.

Storage

Valve protection capsmust be in place when compressed gas cylinders are stored. Close cylinder valves and replace valve protection caps when work is complete and when cylinders are

empty or moved. Keep cylinders at a safe distance or shielded from welding or cutting operations. Do not place

cylinders where they can contact an electrical circuit. Cylinders must not be taken into or stored in confined spaces, including sheds, gang boxes and

office/storage trailers. Do not store hoses and regulators in unventilated or closed containers or areas.

CONTRACTORS: Do not leave behind partially filled or empty cylinders.Always remove them from the site. If not connected to a manifold for immediate use, separate oxygen and flammable gas cylinders by 20-feet or a 5-foot high 30-minute fire rated barrier.

269

CONFINEDSPACE

Training– Employees entering a permit required space need to receive Entry Training

A confined space must meet all of the following criteria: Have limited means of egress Manholes RemovablePlates/Hatches Ladder as an Entrance/Exit Hole/Pit/Excavation Site with a depth of 5ft. The space must be large enough to enter. The spaceis not designed for continuous human occupancy

When is a Confined Space Entry Permit Needed? If a confined space has any recognized hazards such as an atmospheric hazard, an engulfment hazard or an entrapment hazard then a permit is required for entry.

Remember that certain work activities in a Confined Space can make a permit necessary. Only workers that have attended the Confined Space Entry training or annual refresher training are allowed to enter a permit-required space.

FORKLIFTSAFETY

Improperlydistributed loadsmaytiptheforklift becausethe

centerof gravityhasshifted

Tilting the mast back reduces the load distance and makes the load safer to carry

271

Handling The Load Preparation

Secure the load so it is safely arranged and stable. Do not carry damaged merchandise unless it has been secured by wrapping or

banding. Center the load as nearly as possible. Use caution when handling off-center loads that cannot be centered. Distribute the

heaviest part of the load nearest the front wheels of the forklift. Do not overload.Know the stated capacity of your forklift and do not exceed it.Only by

keeping within the weight limit can you operate the forklift safely. A forklift's capacity is rated for a specified loadcenter.I f the load is off-center, improperly

distributed, or oversized, it may exceed capacity and unbalance the forklift. Use the load extension backrest.

Approaching the Load Approach the load slowly and carefully, stopping 8 to 12 inches in front of the load. Place the truck squarely in front of the load with the forks at the correct height. Set the direction control to neutral. Do not raise or lower the forks unless the forklift is stopped and the brake is set.

Fork Position Level the forks before inserting them into the pallet. The forks must be placed under the load as far as possible. Slide the forks into the pallet until they are fully under the load.The forks should be atleast two- thirds the length of the load. Be careful that the forks do not go through to the other side where pallets are closely stacked. Center the weight of the load between the forks.Adjust the forks to distribute the weight evenly. Tilt the mast backcarefully to stabilize the load.

Lifting the Load Check that there is adequate overhead clearance before raising the load. Make sure there is sufficient headroom under over head installations, lights, pipes, etc. Carefully lift the load up above the lower stack about 4 inches. Lift the load and then tilt the mastback slightly to rest the load against the back rest extension. Ensure that the load does not catch on any obstructions. Slowly return the lift control lever to the neutral position.

272

HAND & POWER TOOLS

Pre-Use Inspection- Always inspect tools before use, discard or professionally repair

Protective Equipment-Always wear appropriate protective equipment when using tools

Often times we over look the hazards associated with the common tools that are used on a dailybasis. With this talk we hope to bring some awareness to the potential hazards of these tools and how to minimize these hazards.

Training: Each employee using hand and portable powertools must receive initial training and an annual refresher.

Pre Inspection Use (Done before every use): Damaged or cracked housing, power source, or bits / accessories Dull blades are often more dangerous than sharp blades. Missing guards or protective devices Leaking gasoline, oil or other fluids Tool appears to be in poor condition. Does the tool have a 3 wire cord, if not is it double insulated? Ensure areais free of any potential trip hazards. Do not underestimate the importance of a clean work area.

273

Proper Use: Ensure you are wearing the correct PPE You should always wear eye protection Use the proper tool for the job. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If unsure about use, ask a supervisor or co worker for clarification. Insure tools are not pointed at or operated in close proximity to other individuals. Use spark resistant tools when working near a fuel source. Do not use excessive force to cut/drill through hard materials Gasoline/Mixed Fuel Powered Tools must be off and cool when re-fueled,use only in well ventilated areas.

Storage: Drain fluids (gasoline) if equipment will be in storage for an extended period of time De-energize tool prior to storage (includes removing air pressure, hydraulic pressure and removing loads). Store electric tools in dry areas. Store flammables in accordance with applicable regulations

274

HEATSTRESS

Water- On hot summer days drink a cup of water every 15 minutes when working outside.

What is Heat Stress: Heat stress occurs when the body is unable to cool itself by sweating. Heat stress can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion: Headache, dizziness, light headedness, fainting Weakness and moist skin Mood changes, irritability, confusion Nausea, vomiting.

Symptoms of Heat Stroke: Dry, hot skin with no sweating, Mental confusion or loss of consciousness, Seizures or convulsions can be fatal

Preventing Heat Stress:

• Know signs/symptoms of heat related illnesses, Block out sun or other heat sources. • Use fans/A.C. units • In high heat, drink 1 cup of water every 15 minutes • Wear light weight, light colored, loose fitting clothes. • Avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks, or heavy meals. • Wear sunscreen of SPF 15 or >; reapply every 2 hours

How to Treat Heat-Related Illness Seek immediate medical attention; call 911

While Waiting

Move worker to cool shaded area Loosen or remove heavy clothing Provide cool drinking water Fan and mist person with water.

275

HOTWORK

Employees must wear required PPE

Operations that create a spark or flame such as welding and soldering are referred to as hot work. Special precautions are necessary to perform hot work safely. Hot work procedures must be understood by operators and building managers and all occupants should be familiar with basic safe work practices.

. Roles and Responsibilities Employee:

Use equipment safely Alert affected employees of hot work activities being conducted in their area. Ensure hot work activities are conducted incompliance with the Standard. Obtain a completed Hot Work Permit from their supervisor

277

LADDERSAFETY

Non Self-Supporting Ladders-Move the base of the ladder out 1’for every 4’ of Elevation

The use of Metal Ladders is prohibited

278

Choosing the correct ladder: Non-Conductive Ladder: Harvard employees are not allowed to use aluminum portable ladders. Fiber glass or composite rail ladders (non-conductive) are recommended to be used by Harvard Employees.

Wooden Ladder: Wooden ladders may be used by Harvard employees if they are in good condition. Replace damaged/old wooden ladders with non-conductive ladders.

Step Ladder: Employees are never to stand on the top two rungs of a step ladder. A step ladder must be used with the spreaders fully opened and secured.

Straight or Extension Ladders:

If accessing an elevated surface, extend the ladder 3 rungs above the leading edge and secure the top of the ladder top revent slipping.

Never fastent straight ladders together unless both ladders are specifically designed to do so.

Inspect the ladder before use: Ensure rail sand rungs/steps are not cracked, bent, loose or covered in oily debris. Ensure step ladders have two spreaders (hold the ladder open) that are not damaged and that open and close properly. Ensure the fly section of an extension ladder extends properly and securely locks into place. Discard and mark any damaged portable ladders.

Proper set up of aladder: Secure or barricade the work site if in a high traffic area (doorways etc.). Place the ladder on a firm level surface. Straight or extension ladders must be angled at a 4 to 1 ratio. (For every 4ft of elevation the ladder must extend 1 ft from the base)

Proper useof a portable ladder:

Maintain 3 points of contact when working on the ladder. Face the ladde rwhen climbing up or down.

Keep ladder free of oil/grease and other slipping hazards. Don’t over-reach while on the ladder.

Don’t shift, move or extend a ladderwhile in use.

Don’t load ladder beyond the maximum intended load (see manufacturer label).

279

LIFTINGSAFETY

Proper LiftingTechnique

Keep back straight and lift with the legs

Use Resources-Ask for help from coworkers and use available mechanical aids.

Back injuries are one of the most common injuries found throughout in industry.With this Tool box Talk we will address proper lifting techniques, how to reduce the risk of a back injury and some other general safety tips.

Preparation:

Ensure that you are wearing proper clothing and PPE Steel toe shoes should always be worn when lifting heavy items.

Gloves are also recommended when lifting certain objects. Stretch before you attempt to lift a heavy object or at beginning of shift. If

possible, store materials at waist height to reduce the strain on yourback. Have materials delivered as close to final destination as possible. Assess the object you are going to be lifting. Determine the weight of the object before lifting. Determine best place to grip the object. Ensure that your travel path is free of slipping and tripping hazards. Know your own lifting restrictions and capabilities.

280

Get Help: Use carts, dollies, forklifts andhoists to move materials. When lifting a load more than 50 lbs, get help from another worker. Use carrying tools with handles to carry odd-shaped loads.

Proper Lifting Techniques:

a) Have your feet spread about shoulders-width apart. Your feet should be close to the object. b) Get a firm grip on the object. c) Keep your back straight and elbows close to your body. d) Keeping your back straight and headup, straighten your legs to lift object. e) At the same time tighten your stomach muscles to provide back support. (Don’t hold

your breath while doing this) f) While carrying the object DO NOT twist or bend at the waist, move your feet and legs

when turning. Keep the load as close to your body as possible. g) To set the object down, use the same technique used to lift the object.

Other Useful Safety Tips: Take your time! You are more likely to be injured when you are tired or cold.

Lift as smoothly as possible, try not to “jerk” the lift.

281

LOCKOUT-TAGOUT

Employees are never allowed to work on “live” equipment

Locate the correct energy isolating device

282

286

MEANS OF EGRESS

Review evacuation mapsfor primary and secondary evacuation routes

287

Emergency exit routes must be clear of all obstructions

Emergency Evacuation Drill Procedures: Harvard Employees are required to evacuate during emergency evac drills. The primary functions of these drills are:

a. Ensure fire protection equipment is operating properly. b. Employee training on how to properly evacuate.

c. When the alarm sounds, employees are to safely and promptly evacuate the building using a designated evacuation route.

d. Once outside the building, proceed to the emergency meeting site.

Discovering a Fire or Smoke at Work: Remember R.A.C.E. RELOCATE- If it is safe to do so,relocate people in immediate danger.Instruct others to report to their designated gathering areas.Beaware of persons who may need assistance. ALARM- Pull the building fire alarm to alert others.Move to a safe location and report the precise location of the fire.

CONFINE- Close all doors, windows andother openingsto confine the fire, if this can be done safely.

EVACUATE- Evacuate building.Do not use elevators.Go to your area of refuge outside at meeting site.

288

Fire Rated Stairwells: Materials storage is prohibited in all fire rated stairwells. Each fire door including frame and hardware must be listed or approved by a nationally recognized

testing facility. Employees must be able to open an exit route door from the inside at all times without keys, tools, or

special knowledge. Fire doors are only allowed to be held open by magnet door holds. Remove all door wedges, latches, coathangers, fire extinguishers, etc.that are being used

to hold doors open. Fire doors must be able to close fully on their own.

Exit Route Capacity:

The ceiling of an exit route must be at least seven feet six inches (2.3 m)high.

An exit access must be atleast 28 inches (71.1cm) wide at all points.Where there is only one

exit access leading to an exit or exit discharge, the width of the exit and exit discharge must be atleast equal to the width of the exit access.

Objects that project into the exit route must not reduce the width of the exit route

to less than the minimum width requirements for exit routes.

289

OILSPILLRESPONSE

Floor Drains- use speedy dry, booms or drain covers to prevent oil from entering drains

Storm Drains- Frequently check hydraulic lines for trash compacters that are near storm drains

All employees having a roleinmanaging or maintaining oil containing devices must be able to initiate an appropriate oil spill response.

290

Oil Spill Response: 1. Assess the severity of the situation.

Determine if the situation is immediately hazardous to your well being, evacuate if in danger. For large spills that can reach a drain or catch basin. If situation allows, quickly cover/block the floor drain/catch basin with a drain over, boom, speedy dry,etc.

2. Contain Small Incidental Spills.

Contain spill without endangering self or others. Block storm drains and floor drains/openings to prevent spilled material from reaching the environment. Ensure the area is properly ventilated.

3. Small Spill Clean Up

Wear the Proper Protective Equipment (safety goggles, oil resistant gloves, etc.) Use absorbent materials to clean spill (pads, speedy dry,etc.)

4. Manage the Contaminated Waste Appropriately

Store contaminated materials/waste from the clean up in appropriate covered buckets or drum with a secured lid.

Affix aHazardous Waste label on the container (except cooking oil). If the contaminant is 1 galon or less of cooking oil and is completely absorbed, it is acceptable to dispose of with normal waste.

Oil Spill Prevention: All waste oil containers need to be placed in/on secondary containment that has a storage capacity of 110% of the container size. Perform monthly inspections on all oil containing devices that have a capacity of 55 galons or greater. Know where all spill kits are located in your facility and take time to ensure they are properly

stocked.

291

PNEUMATICTOOLS

Pneumatic tools offer great versatility and the capability to get a job done quickly and efficiently. As with any energized equipment there is the potential for harm to people or property. With this Spotlight we will discuss basic handling, use and storage techniques that will minimize potential hazards created by these tools.

Proper use of pneumatictools: Read the manufacturer supplied manual before operating the tool. Wear appropriate PPE. A baseline of safety glasses/goggles, hearing protection and safety shoes is required. (Face protection, and abrasive gloves may also be needed). Never use compressed air for cleaning unless fitted with an attachment to reduce the pressure at the nozzle to 30psi. Never point the nozzle at another person or yourself, rust particles can be discharged from the compressor at a high velocity causing injury.

Attachments Always double check to ensure the attachment is securely connected to the hose. A positive locking device, chain or a short wire attaching the tool and hose is recommended for added protection. Attachments that shoot fasteners at pressures greater than 100psi need to be equipped with a device that only ejects fasteners when the muzzle is pressed up against the work surface.

Hoses If using a hose greater than 1/2” diameter, a safety excess flow valve must be installed at the source of the air supply.

Use hoses that have a minimum working pressure rating of 150% the maximum pressure produced by the compressor. Inspect hoses on a regular basis for bulges, cuts, cracks etc. Use hoses that are resistant to abrasion,crushing, and cutting. Blow any air out of the line before attaching a tool. When using hoses, minimize trip hazards and protect the physical condition of the hose to the best of your ability.

292

Air Compressors Do not adjust air pressure greater than the attachments rating. Drain the tank after 4 hours of use to prevent water buildup which could lead to rust. Allow engine to completely cool before refueling. Only use gas powered compressors in well ventilated areas. Electric compressors need to be plugged into a properly grounded plug (use GFCI when needed).

293

WORKING AT ELEVATIONS

A standard guardrail must be 42 inches in height, have an intermediate rail, proper

Spacing of the post sand be capable ofsupporting 200 lbs of force.

A roof boundary system is used to limit employees access to the fall hazard.The system

includes posts, rope and warning flags distributed along the rope.

294

Working at Elevations.

Injuries from falls are oneof the most commonand severe workplace accidents. Employees must understand how to identify fall hazards and the ways they can protect themselves.

Areas Where Fall Hazards Exist: Any height greater than 4 feet is considered ahazard and mustbe protected. This includes:

Ways to Protect Employees from Fall Hazards:

The most effective way to protect employees from falls is by eliminating the hazard.Passive systems such as guardrails and covers remove the employee’s exposure to the hazard.

Fall protection equipment must be usedand cared for properly: Guardrails- Always work within the confines of the guardrail. Must meet design requirements (spacing, height, etc.). Floor Hole/Opening Covers- Must support the intended load or atleast 400lbs. (20,000lbs.if vehicle traffic). Must lay even with the floor; protruding covers create a tripping hazard.

Boundary Lines System-

Must be erected 6 feet from the edge of the roof or fall hazard. Only used in certain roofing activities; not approved by OSHA.

Must be 34 inches high and visible in all weather conditions.

Safe Work Distances- Minimum distance of 15 feet to the edge– travel within 15 feet will require fall protection . Path way must be clearly marked and employees need to be trained. This is a best management practice. Personal Fall Arrest System-

a. Inspect lanyard, harness, rings and other components before each use. b. Inspect anchors annually and have them tested every 10 years.

295

c. Ensure the lanyard is the correct length for the height you will be working at. Must train employees on how to use, inspect and maintain fall arrest equipment. Replace equipment that is damaged or subjected to loads from a fall.

MATERIALSTORAGE

Storage of lumber

Remove nails before stacking

Stacked level and on sills

Stack lumber so that it is stable and selfsupporting

Piles not to exceed 20 feet

296

Stack bricks in a manner that will keep them from falling.

Storage are as must be kept free from accumulation of materials that create hazards from:

Tripping

Fire

Explosion

Pest harborage

297

SAFETYINEXCAVATIONS

• Excavation can result in serious injury,fatality or property damage due to the following causes: Collapse of earth work due to lack of inadequate or weal shoring. Persons faling into excavations due to lack of barriers or inadequate fencing. Asphyxiation from exhaust gases that havec ollected in the bottom of excavation. Soilfrom excavations not being thrown clear of the sides that then become over loaded and colapse. Failure to maintain shoring, particularly after rain and sand storm. Water seepage Persons working to oclose together The striking of services, eg.Electricity/communication cables and oil/gas pipes Persons not being provided with ornotusing proper tools for the job. Vehicles or plant too close to the edge, causing the edge to collapse Workers in the excavation being struck by soilor materials fallingi nto the excavation. False through unsafe means of access in too rout of thee xcavation Workers being struck by excavating machinery,e.g. excavator bucket Vehicles being driven into the excavation due to driving errors, inadequate barriers, or the absence of stop blocks

MAIN SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

ACCESS Safe means of getting into and climbing out of an excavation must be provided. Ladders must be securely fixed and properly maintained and should permit quick and easy escape in case

of flooding or fall s of materials.

GUARDINGOFEXCAVATIONS Where a person may fall more than 2m, suitable barriers must be erected, but it is sensible to erect barriers

even for quite shallow excavators where any one faling may come to harm.

Barriers should also serve to keep materials, plant and equipment away from the edges of an excavation.

Barriers may be removed to permit access of men, plant and equipment, etc., but should be replaced as soon as possible.

During darkness, the edges of an excavation should be marked with hazard warning lights, especially where they are close to public thorough fares.

Where excavation work is carried out on the roads, Traffic Police approval are necessary and appropriate barricades and warning notices shall be erected.

298

STOP BLOCKS

Where vehicles are used for tipping materials into an excavation, safety measures such as well anchored stop blocks should be used to prevent the vehicle over running the edge.

These must be placed at a sufficient distance from the edge to avoid the danger of it breaking away under the weight of vehicles.

SITE LIGHTING

The workplace must be adequately lit, in particular at access points and openings, and whenever lifting operations take place.

VENTILATION Excavations must be kept clear of suffocating, toxic or explosive gases. There may be natural gases like hydrogen sulphide, methane and methane and sulphurdioxide

or exhaust gases from near by plant,or leaks from pipes or installations.

These can seep through the soil and can accumulate at the bottom of an excavation below ground level

Leakage of propane and butane from LPG cylinders is potentially very dangerous; the gases will sink to the lowest point and form an explosive concentration.

The most common method of ventilation is to blow clean air in to the excavation in sufficient volume to dissipate any gas accumulation.

MAINTENANCE All excavation work requires careful watching, especially when they are first opened and sides are unsupported, even when support work has been installed,constant vigilance is essential.

Smal movements of earth, resulting in movements in the timbering of no more than 6-12mm are usually the only sign of the progressive weakening in cohesive soils which can cause collapse. Such small movements can easily pass unnoticed but they are signs that something is wrong.

Movements can be detected from slight distortion in timbering, bowing of poling boards and walings or signs of local crushing.

Main points to consider are: All timber must be regularly checked, for if it remains in position for any length of time, it

may dry out, shrink or not.

The only positive method of checking the state of timber is to drill small holes with a nauger.

Ground,too,may dry out and shrink-which loosens the timbering.

The soil face,wedges or telescopic struts holding them must always be kept tight.

Raking or angle, struts should all be regularly examined for signs of having been dislodged.

Safety helmets and safety boots should be worn at all times since earth and other material can slide down or fall.

299

During bad weather soil heap stend to slump,and loose boulders or masonry may fall in to the excavation.

Heavy vehicles should not be allowed near the edge of excavations unless the supportwork has been specially designedto permit it.

When loads are being moved in to or out of the excavation by skip or bucket, care should be taken to avoid damage to struts or walings.

HAZARDCOMMUNICATION

Hazard Communication, also referred to as “HAZCOM” and “The Employee Right to Know Act” was developed to ensure that employers provide employees with important safety information for chemicals used in their workplace.

Hazard Communication requirements are aimed at reducing the risk of chemical-related occupational illnesses and injuries by making available specific information to help identify and evaluate hazardous chemicals in the workplace. Tools such as Container Labeling and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) assist employers in identifying and communicating these hazards.

SDS: An SDS is a fact sheet developed by the manufacturer that contains information on all of the hazards associated with a particular chemical. It also provides guidance on how to protect yourself from these hazards and emergency information/procedures in the event of an accident. You may obtain an SDS from the manufacturer or on-line at the EHSwebsite. Personnel must be

300

trained to be able to read an MSDS and understand the hazards presented by various substances.

ContainerLabel: Every container is required to have a label that lists all of the hazard information for the chemical it contains. If you use a generic container, such as a spray bottle, you must label it with all of the required information.

Every container used to store a chemical mustbe labeled. Chemicals should never be mixed with one another. Chemicals into separate containers such as generic spray bottles, employees must label these containers with the chemical’s name and a hazard warning briefly describing the hazardous effects of the chemical. This includes terms such as“flammable”and“causes lung damage.”

Note: The project can consider ‘Constructional Practices and Safety Guidelines’ from National Building Code (NBC) of India 2005, Part 7 - Constructional Practices and Safety.

2. Handling of Waste Materials, During Construction Intent: Facilitate segregation of construction and demolition waste at source to encourage reuse or recycling of materials, thereby avoiding waste being sent to landfills. Compliance Options: Demonstrate that at least 95% of waste generated during construction (as per owner / developer’s scope) is diverted from landfills, for reuse or recycling. Use consistent metrics, either weight or volume, to show compliance. (Please refer the annexure -1) The documentation of all challans, paperworks to be maintained for all the construction waste.

Notes: • Construction waste here refers to civil & interior building waste. • Excavated earth & stones should not be considered under this credit, as these are natural resources. • Temporary materials such as materials used for formwork, scaffolding, etc., shall not be considered for this credit calculation.

3. Use of low VOC materials Intent: Reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous or potentially

irritating to provide installer and occupant health and comfort.

Objective: Limit indoor air quality problems by selecting low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)

products in:

Adhesives & Sealants

Paints

Carpets

Composite Wood & Agri-fibre products.

VOCs (Volatile Organic compounds) are chemical compounds that vaporize in room

temperature itself and contribute air quality problems.

Note: Adhesives used for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing work are included in the calculations for this credit.

307

Requirements: Limit the VOC level for adhesives, sealants, paints, composite wood products,

and carpet systems. Please refer to annexure -2 for the limits.

4. Records Recycle & regional Materials Note: The contractor has to maintain record of the recycle content and regional distance of materials. And submit with all RA Bills. The letters from necessary manufacturing agencies to be collected from all the materials provided. (Sample letters attached in annexure -3)
