Purpose To establish a procedure for Safety Requirements for PilingScope Applicable to all Piling work at site




Method Statements

1.

Piling operations can give rise to different hazards dependent upon the type of piling being undertaken. Certain hazards are, however, generally common on al types of piling and the following gives the risks and associated controls relevant to site preparation, the general precautions and the various types of piling methods in use. The main types of piling covered are a. Driven Pilingb. EHSet Pilingc. Rotary Bored Pilingd. Tripod Piling

In all cases, and before any piling operations commence a full method statement and risk assessment must be prepared by the piling contractor or persons carrying out the operations. This method statement must be thoroughly vetted by management before any works are started.

All user /supervisor

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT

2.

Site Preparations: When carrying out all types of piling, with the exception of tripod piling, the initial site preparations are of utmost importance. The main reasons for this are that in all cases heavy plant and machinery will be used, and often the exact conditions of the land and its contents are unknown. Site Preparations: When carrying out all types of piling, with the exception of tripod piling, the initial site preparations are of utmost importance. The main reasons for this are that in all cases heavy plant and machinery will be used, and often the exact conditions of the land and its contents are unknown.

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

All user /supervisor


Sheet No. 22 of 116

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

All overhead services must be clearly marked, by appropriate barriers; goal posts etc. (see Overhead Services). Work must not commence until a safe system of working has been prepared and agreed.

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

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

The most common cause of piling rig collapse is poor ground conditions. Ensure a firm piling mat has been provided, and that all ground conditions have been taken into consideration at initial assessment stage.

Rigging and de-rigging may only be carried out under the supervision of a competent person who has been nominated by the piling contractor.

The correct safe procedure is set out in the manufacturers or operators hand book for the rigging and de-rigging operations.

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


Sheet No. 23 of 116TITLE: SAFE PROCEDURE FOR PILING

Upon arrival at site, the machine must be inspected before use, by a competent person. All certification must be updated in 4 months. Results of inspections must be recorded.

All loads which are to be lifted must only be lifted using the correct slings and signaling techniques which are set out.

All open pile shafts must be either covered or have barriers placed around them to prevent persons from gaining access. This also includes freshly poured piles.

All piling rigs, side boom and other lifting equipment shall have a certificate before entering the work site. These equipments shall be inspected on regular basis.

The area where hoisting operation are being carried out shall be roped off. Personal inside the rope area shall be only those directly employed on the hoisting activity. No one is allowed to walk under suspended load or boom under load. Prior to starting the lift by two booms calculation shall be made before lifting.

All piling rigs and hoisting equipment shall be provided with a suitable fire extinguiEHSr.

When working near overhead Power lines or bus bars the following safe distances shall be maintained.

A minimum distance of 3 Meters for Voltage up to 500 V.

A minimum distance of 5 Meters for Voltage exceeding 500 V.

A permit is required for work within 20 Meters of overhead Power lines.

Electrical shielding of power lines is required when minimum clearance distances cannot be maintained.

Adequate Protection for underground cables and Pipeline with heavy equipment and loads adequate mats or steel plate shall be used to prevent damage.

All works to be supervised by a competent supervisor/ foreman.

Ensure that all ladders are long enough and extend at least 1.5m above any working platform and that they are in good condition for access onto rigs or other working places



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

Reinforcement and cages should be unloaded onto supports to allow for re-slinging.

All rotating parts of machinery should be suitably guarded or fenced.

A full noise assessment must be carried out and must form part of the method statement and risk assessment. The effects on all persons on site, and the local environment must be taken into account when preparing the assessment.

Any control measures including hearing protection identified as being necessary by the assessment should be put into operation prior to commencing operations.

Driven Piles:

When splitting boundless of EHSet piles, chocks should be used and purpose made straps and grips should be employed for handling purposes.

Piles should not be stacked in a way that makes them unstable or unsafe. Tubular piles should never be stacked more then four high and should be chocked at all times.

Hand or “tag” lines should be used at all times to control loads during lifting operations.

When pitching piles, remote release shackles should be used, taking care that the pin is properly engaged through the EHSet before being lifted into the vertical position.

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



Piling hammers and in particular all clamping bolts should be inspected daily. Guide ropes must be used when positioning the hammer.All personnel must be at ground level and stand well clear during piling operations. In the event of the hammer piston becoming jammed, the trip – lever should be pulled to the “open” position before the hammer is removed from the pile.

Supply lines/ cables must be kept under observation and checked for damage, with unserviceable equipment being withdrawn immediately.

The load on the hook must always be lifted vertically.

Rigs should be placed on leveled and firmed ground.

Crane mounted rigs should not be marched in loose soil/ marshy area. The areas should be inspected, filled with earth if required. Rotary bored PilesAn area should be segregated for the dumping of spoil from the auger. It should be out of the way with no general access to others on site. When the spoil is shaken off the auger, the driver is to ensure no persons are in the vicinity.

A banksman should remain with the rig during the piling operation.

The pile bore should always be protected to prevent persons from falling in, barriers, casings or cover should be used.

Ropes are subject to heavy wear, they must be inspected frequently and changed as necessary.

Hearing protection should be worn where the noise assessment indicates.All control levers on piling rigs should be marked to indicate their purpose and mode of operation.

Tripod PilingThe general area of the rig must be kept as clear as possible.Tripods must not be used unless a current test and examination certificate is available, and kept on site. The safe working load must be clearly marked on the winch, a current certificate of test and thorough examination for the winch provided.



Only correct shear pins must be used on the shear legs.

Tripod legs must not be over – spread, or overloaded.

All ropes should be secured with bulldog clips. Where appropriate, properly constructed hard-eyes or saddles must be used.

Chains or ropes used for lifting or lowering must not be shortened or joined with a knot.

All ropes must be checked daily and unserviceable ropes immediately withdrawn.

There must be at least two full turns of rope remaining on the winch drum at all times and effectively secure to the outside of the winch drum.

All accessible moving parts of the winch must be effectively guarded and a pulley guard be fitted to the top pulley.

When a rope/ chain block is used to extract the casings, the capacity of the block must not exceed the capacity of the rig.

Hearing protection must be worn where necessary. All cages to be lifted on designated lifting points.

Cages must only be lifted using a shackle or hook with a safety clip in working order.

Barriers must be placed around the pile when casing has been pulled.

Boreholes must be fenced or securely covered when left unattended.



SAFE PROCEDURE :

o Ensure that all lifting equipment has third party test

certificate and the operator has a valid competency

certificate / authorization.

o Pile driving rig should be tested for sound construction

and proper records be maintained.

o The rope winch and other parts of drive should be of

proper design and all the moving parts should be well

guarded.

o Proper arrangement should be used for checking the

Pulley. Use cage and Service Crane for working at height.

o All persons working on the Piling Operation must wear

Safety Helmets (i.e. Helmets with Chin Strap).

o There is a risk of fracturing of the rope due to shock

loading. The ropes used should be examined at least

once in months.

o Never swing the load over moving traffic.

o Piles should not be stacked too high.

o Pile cage/ muck not to be loaded on the barricades

o Ensure that all pile bores are covered with grating.

o All excavated areas to be highlighted with caution tape.

o Tyre wash to be ensured before vehicle enters road.

HAMMER:

Hammers: Use guide ropes when positioning a hammer. Stand clear when

starting and operating .All personnel should be at ground level

during Piling Operation.

All user/supervisor

Ground Preparation and basesTo check sound foundation for each column. It should be capable of accepting both a vertical load and also the additional horizontal thrust which is developed as soon as temporary props are removed.

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

Other types of pre-case columns incorporate a steel base plate similar to those found on a prefabricated steel column.

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

EHS OPERATIONAL MANUAL Doc. No. EHSOM-11TITLE: SAFE PROCEDURE FOR SRRUCTURAL

STEEL ERECTION

Sheet No. 29 of 116

Tripods and anchorage points for guy ropes should be suitably protected from vehicle traffic and locked off where there is potential risk of vandalism.

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

Erection of a Steel Frame

4.

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

The crane is often required to hold unstable units until connections are made and stability achieved.

Pre – cast Concrete and Concrete Frame Erection

5.

Accuracy and efficiency in erection depends on correct preparation of the bases, which may be sockets or pockets into which the columns are set, or “bolt down” arrangements using a steel base plate fixed to the concrete unit.

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

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

Motor vehicle traffic mixing with bicycle and pedestrian traffic is a major concern on campus. Even though bicycles are required to follow the rules of the road, many bicycle operators fail to obey stop signs or signal when making turns. Likewise, pedestrians are apt to step off a curb and cross the street at any location. In either case, civil law favors the bicyclist or pedestrian because of the chance of serious injury being incurred by either when involved in an accident with a motor vehicle.

Followings are typical classification of Manual handling:

Lifting / lowering,

Pushing / pulling,

Carrying,

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

force.

There are four significant points in a proper lift:

Grip: A good grip makes maximum use of the palm of the hand, the ball of the

thumb, and base of the fingers.

Back: The back must be kept straight to maintain its most natural and strongest

position. This means that the knees and ankles must be bent and the chin kept well

into the chest. The body must be positioned as close to the load as possible so as

to act as a counterweight.

Feet: The feet should be apart the width of the hips with one foot slightly in front of

the other so that a natural lead off is obtained.

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

Get help as needed.

Use a dolly or other device if necessary.

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

3. Get as close to the load as possible.

4. Tighten your stomach muscles as the lift begins.

When lifting, keep your lower back in its normal arched position and use your

legs to lift.

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

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

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

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

the small joints of the spine.

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

protect the spine.

HEALTH & WELFARE

Introduction:

Hazards to health on a construction site can arise from the use of a number or

materials, substances and processes if they are not properly controlled. Some of the

more serious risks are caused by the inhalation of dusts, fibers, toxic fumes, by the

misuse of chemicals, lasers and radioactive isotopes. Excessive vibration and

excessive noise can also cause ill health Main’ man-days are lost as a result of

dermatitis. Tenosynovitis, bronchitis and rheumatism.

Healthy working conditions shall be maintained for all workers. In particular attention

to the effects of noise, dust, air pollution and the use of chemicals shall be paid. If it

is not possible to remove the cause of harm then suitable and sufficient Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be provided to those workers who could be

affected.

If the use of PPE is the only means of providing protection then it shall be ensured

that all the workers affected are properly trained in the use of the PPE and that

adequate supervision is provided to ensure its proper use.

HEALTH & WELFARENoise:

Industrial deafness is caused by over exposure to high level of noise from plant,

machinery or construction processes. Once a part of a persons hearing has been

lost it can never be recovered. Deafness can also lead to further accidents on

site with workers being unable to hear warning and other instructions.

For continuous exposure, i.e, for eight hours in any one-day, the sound level

should not exceed 90 dB (A). For non- continuous exposure a calculated

equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) should not exceed 90 dB (A). Workers

should not be exposed to sound levels exceeding 90 dB (A) unless the\ are

wearing suitable hearing protectors. which effectively reduce the sound level at

the users ear to, or below,90 dB (A)

If Peak noise levels exceed 120d13(A) then the wearing of suitable hearing protectors

shall he Mandatory.

Consideration shall always he given first to reducing the noise level at source. Examples

of noise reduction methods include:-

• More efficient silencers on compressors and maintenance of exhaust systems:

• Fitting acoustic lining to machinery panels:

• Use of Acoustic screens and EHSds to protect other

• Sitting of noisy plant away from the workplace,

Where it is possible to reduce the noise level to which the worker is exposed. the workers

shall be provided with suitable and sufficient hearing protection to protect them .All the

workers affected shall be properly trained in the use of the Hearing Protection and that

adequate supervision is provided to ensure its proper use.

Prevention of mosquito breeding

Measures shall be taken to prevent breeding at site. The measures to be taken shall

include:

i) Empty cans, oil drums, packing and other receptacles, which may retain water

shall be deposited at a central collection point and shall be removed from the site

regularly.

marked and protected (fenced);

Prior to vegetation clearing, any rare or endangered plant species which have

been previously identified must be removed and transplanted to demarcated

zones;

Where necessary, a rescue and relocation programme for animal species

shall be implemented;

It is considered to be best practice that corridors or tracts of vegetation will be

left intact to form connections to larger areas of un-cleared vegetation and

allow dispersal of fauna during clearing activities;

If the construction site is close to sensitive ecological areas, it is

recommended that buffer zones should be established to ensure survival of

fauna and flora species; “No-go” areas shall be clearly marked on a site

layout plan and demarcated through fencing or other measure;

Clearing methods

Burning shall not be used in all sites.

It is recommended that use of chemical clearing methods shall be prohibited

in the vicinity of no go areas.

have negligible adverse human health effect be shown to be effective against

the target species



Have minimal effect on non target species and the natural environment be

used in a way to prevent development of resistance in pests.

Topsoil management

Store topsoil1 removed from the site;

If different categories of topsoil exist, they shall be stored separately; topsoil

stockpiles height must be limited 2 in order to minimize composting; storage

shall be located so as to ensure good conservation and minimize damage

linked to moisture retention, dust or erosion;

Erosion management

Sensitive erosion areas should be identified, and location of works minimized

in these areas;

Where possible, and depending on local conditions, it is recommended that

works in sensitive erosion areas to be restricted to the dry season ;

construction and those showing inadequate surface coverage (objectives to

be determined depending on local conditions) should be revegetated until

satisfactory coverage of the area;

Revegetated areas and areas subject to erosion should be monitored and

maintained during project operation;

Where necessary depending on works schedule and sensitivity to erosion,

interim reinstatement should be implemented;

ensured that wherever possible recycling reuse of the material is done so that the natural

resources such as energy, water, paper, iron and steel are used in a conservative manner.

Energy usage:

Ensure that any electrical gadgets are switched off when not required. In the offices all lights

and fans will be switched off when not required. Use daylights to the maximum extent. Use

28 / 36 watt tubes and CFL’s instead of bulbs.

Only required DG sets will be operated depending on the load requirements. The work will

be planned in such a way that there is maximum usage of power generated based on the

load requirements.

Do not keep your machinery in idle running conditions. Ensure that maintenance is being

carried out from time to time.

Water usage:

Remember, Water is precious; use it judiciously and only as required

If you find a tap running unnecessarily/ leaking, close it – every drop is precious

Check the valves, joints, taps, pumps etc. checked at least half yearly for leakages/

problems and rectify it at the earliest.

Ensure that there is no overflowing from tanks / reservoirs.

Mop floors with wet cloth instead of washing with water.

Control the flow rate of valves / water in toilets & taps while usage.

Clean utensils, cups & diEHSs etc. with minimum quantity of water; soak it in water for some

time before washing.

While cleaning of the empty containers, drums etc. ensure that minimum quantity is used;

take care there is minimum spillage and no unnecessary wastage.

Use water sprinkling / drip for watering of plants.

33.1 Water Quality Monitoring & Management Plans:

33.1.1 Water supply and water use

Objective: Minimize the amount of water used

Management actions:

Implement water conservation measures (including recycling of gray waters,

eg. recycling of wastewater ;

Where water is scarce, ensure that consumption for the construction site will

not be detrimental to other users, or that any loss attributable directly to the

project be fairly compensated.

33.1.2 Wastewater and storm water management Plans

Definition: Wastewater discharged from construction activities may include:

Domestic wastewater

Water from groundwater pumping systems, water used in construction

processes (may have a high suspended solids content), water from tunnel

dewatering

Runoff from material depots/workshops/vehicles washing areas and concrete

Swills

Storm water runoff

Objective: Limit degradation of landscape through erosion/ Minimize risk of storm

water being contaminated/ Minimize deterioration of groundwater and surface water

quality/ Ensure that contaminated water, contaminated run off or effluent discharged

from the site in surface waters


MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sheet No. 70 of 116Management actions:

On construction site, and in the construction site, toilet facilities with adequate

waste water treatment must be provided;

All domestic wastewater shall be treated on site, or discharged into a

conservancy tank for removal from the site and appropriate treatment or

directly into the municipal sewerage system, if its performance is acceptable;

Depots/workshops/vehicles washing areas and concrete swills must be

placed and constructed in such a way to limit pollution of groundwater and

surrounding areas; the runoff shall be collected (channels) and treated

adequately (silt/oil separator, sediment basins…);

Natural run off shall be diverted away from the construction site and towards

storm-water drains where these are available. Appropriate measures to

prevent silt and sand entering the drainage system or water courses must be

taken (silt screens, straw bales…);

Wastewater and storm water discharges (including water from groundwater

pumping systems) shall be monitored regularly to ensure that the World Bank

limits are not exceeded; the parameters to be monitored will depend on the

characteristics of the site, but always include pH, TSS, oil and grease, and

coliform bacteria.


Sheet No. 71 of 116TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

MANAGEMENT PLAN

33.2. Air Quality Monitoring & management Plans:

Objective: Minimise the impacts of dust generation on surrounding communities,

and local ecosystems/ Ensure air emissions by construction equipment are

compliant with local and international standards through adequate maintenance and

servicing

Control of Dust & Air Emissions:

Air Emissions shall be controlled by using proper Equipments and machines.

Equipments maintenance should be carried out at regular intervals.

Every day morning before the Site operation starts, water spraying should be

done to the entire site.

Proper Spray system should be used so that water can be utilized in effective

way without wastage.

Care should be taken so that sprinkler is not placed in the top of the Cement

bags.

Every two hours this cycle should be continued so that dust can be under

control.

If possible landscaping should be carried out with minimum cost, since grass

can prevent dust. This can be practiced looking into the soil conditions of site.

Sprinkle water on top of the Metal/Coarse aggregate which will also help in

settling the dust while transferring metal for concreting / batching plant /

crusher.

The approach road to the site can also be watered using sprinkler system to

reduce the dust.

Dust Absorber / bags / collectors can be placed near the Batching plant or

near by the concrete mixer to reduce the dust.

The top of the Fine aggregate / sand can be sprinkled with water in a mild

way to bring down the dust under control.


Sheet No. 72 of 116TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

MANAGEMENT PLAN

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

that it is covered with tarpoline in order to control the dust.

The point where the cement is transferred to batching plant or mixer shall be

covered with Gunny bags or plastic sheet in order to prevent the

accumulation of cement dust particles.

While sprinkling the water the quantity of water used should not exceed than

what is required to control the dust and the concerned person should make it

sure that water used should not affect the HOUSE KEEPING OF SITE.

The quantity of water to be used will depend on the area of the site.

The execution Engineers working at the site and EHS Manager should make

it sure that the sprinkling is done in a proper way.

MANAGEMENT ACTIONS:

Each construction vehicle in the fleet shall be inspected on a regular basis (at

least every 6 months);

Limit vehicle-entrained dust from unpaved roads through traffic control

measures (eg limit vehicle speeds, restrict traffic volume…);

Covering of materials likely to result in dust emission during transportation

and storage;

Covering of scaffoldings and use of air extraction equipment, wherever

relevant are recommended practices;

Routine hosing down of unpaved roads and cleaning of vehicles, if necessary

and relevant regarding water availability;

If necessary and feasible, it is recommended that water sprayers shall also be

installed on specific equipments such as crushing plants;

If the location is prone to high winds conditions, specific measures should be

implemented depending on weather conditions (eg. limitation of certain

activities such as cement stabilization);

Implementation of an air monitoring programme during significant dust

generating activities is best practice.


MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sheet No. 73 of 116 Workers should not allowed emissions of fugitive dust from any transport,

handling, construction or storage activity to remain visible in atmosphere

beyond the property line of emission source.

Do not block or shut vents or construction returns.

Prohibits smoking inside the construction

Do not dispose of food waste or food wrappers in your work area.

Dispose of contaminated waste in receptacles that are emptied

daily.

Do not over water plants. Remove dead leaves. Break up dirt

around the plant to avoid mold overgrowth in the dirt.

Clean-up water spills immediately.

Report water intrusion and sewage problems IMMEDIATELY to the

Environment Department.

Minimize accumulations of paper, cardboard, and other cellulose-

based materials.

Clean your work area routinely.

Do not burn candles or have other scent-producing materials in the

work area.

Avoid portable humidifiers.

The workers shall provide a wash pit or a wheel washing and/or vehicle

cleaning facility at the exits from work sites such as construction depots and

batching plants. At such facility, high-pressure water jets will be directed at

the wheels of vehicles to remove all spoil and dirt.

The workers shall cover loads of dust generating materials like debris and soil

being transported from construction sites. All trucks carrying loose material

should be covered and loaded with sufficient freeboard to avoid spills

through the tail board or side boards.

MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sheet No. 74 of 11633.3 Noise and vibration Monitoring & Management Plans:

Administrative noise control measures

Where it is not practicable to comply with the exposure standard for noise solely

through other control measures, administration control measures are used. These

measures reduce the noise to which a person is exposed by means of work

arrangement, including

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

possible are present.

Notifying people in advance when noisy work is to be carried out, so they can

limit their exposure to it.

Keeping people out of noisy area, if their job does not require them to be there.

Sign posting noisy areas

Periodic rotation of persons working in excessive noisy area shall be carried out.

Personal hearing protectors

Personal hearing protectors shall be used only as an interim measure while control

of excessive noise is being achieved by engineering control measures. The removal

of personal hearing protectors for even short periods of time can significantly reduce

their effectiveness and result in inadequate protection. Due to the difficulties of

wearing personal hearing protectors for long periods of time in certain environments,

regular brief periods in quiet areas, without personal hearing protectors, should be

allowed.

Hearing Protection Areas

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

‘hearing protection areas’ and their boundaries should be clearly defined. No person,

including visitors, managers and supervisors, should enter a hearing protection area

during normal operation, unless wearing appropriate personal hearing protectors.


MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sheet No. 75 of 116This is regardless of how long the person spends in the hearing protection area.

Where sign posting is not practicable, attach prominent warning notices to tools and

equipment indicating that personal hearing protectors must be worn when operating

them. The different types of hearing protectors available are earmuffs, earplugs,

canal caps etc.

Identify the probable noise generating equipments, machines and operations.

Following are the common noise sources

be put in place;

If possible, noisy stationary equipment such as pumps, generators,

compressors or saws shall be sited as far as possible from residential areas

and/or operated in EHSltered locations (eg partly finiEHSd buildings) ; it is

recommended to use topographic features to provide shielding;


MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sheet No. 78 of 116 Periods when the environment is least sensitive (e.g. during normal working

days in a residential area) shall be selected for noisy activities; it is

recommended to systematically avoid noisy activities at night time;

A schedule of noisy activities (e.g. use of pile drivers, jack hammers, rock

drills or for blasting activities) shall be drawn up when construction takes

place in close proximity of particularly sensitive environments including

schools, hospitals, residential area, sensitive ecosystems…

A monitoring program shall be implemented for measure of sound level at key

locations;

If relevant, buildings within the potential damaging zone of a blast shall be

surveyed and existing cracks recorded; Subsequent monitoring should be

implemented if necessary.


MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sheet No. 79 of 116Environmental Monitoring Program:

Regular monitoring of all significant environmental parameters is essential to check the

compliance status vis-à-vis the environmental laws and regulation. The objectives of the

monitoring will be as follows:

• To verify the results of the impact assessment study with respect to the proposed projects.

• To study the trend of concentration values of the parameters, which have been, identified
