2.2.1.1 Storm water drains: Storm water drains will be provided all over the site to
meet the expected increase in the runoff during rainy seasons due to the impervious
nature of the roads and other than paved areas. The site is uneven and it is proposed
to maintain the levels as much as possible. The rainwater pipes shall be designed for
rainfall intensity of 40mm/hour from terrace floor to be harvested by storm water
sumps. The storm water drain has been worked taking into consideration the site
profile (contour). The Rainwater Harvesting Structures is shown in fig 2.2. The expected
runoff as calculated for the design of the storm water management is presented in
following table 2.3.
Width of the drain is to taken 477 mm and depth varies according to the slope of ground.

Treatment plant for treating sewage in the campus has been proposed for a capacity of
130 m3/day. The Sewage Treatment flow chart is shown in fig 2.3.
Sewage treatment plant based on Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactor (FAB) technology
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
The raw sewage will be collected in a collection sump and pumped to mechanical bar
screen chamber for removal of large floating matter followed by grit removal in Grit
Chamber. The raw sewage will then be collected in an equalization tank for
homogenization of hydraulic load. The tank contents will be kept in suspension by
means of course bubble serration through pipe grid. The equalization tank, with air
flow indicator for continuous monitoring of air supply to the tank in order to avoid
septic conditions, will be covered from top (RCC or FRP) to avoid nuisance. The
equalized effluent will then be pumped to two Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactors (FAB) in
series where BOD/COD reduction can be achieved by virtue of aerobic microbial
activities. The oxygen required will be supplied through coarse air bubble diffusers.
The bio-solids formed in the biological process will be separated in the down stream
Tube Settler. The clear supernatant will gravitate to the chlorine contact tank where
sodium hypochlorite will be dosed for disinfection of treated water prior to disposal.
The biological sludge generated in the FAB and settled in the tube settlers will be
collected in a sludge sump and then pumped to sludge drying bed for de watering. The
dried sludge will then be disposed off suitably as manure. The schematics of the
process are shown. The two main components of the treatment system viz. The FAB
reactor and tube settler are described in the following sections.
The reactor combines all the advantages and best features of Trickling filters, Rotating
biological contractors, activated sludge process and submerged fixed film reactors while
eliminating the drawbacks of these systems. The plants are more compact and more
energy efficient.
The Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactor (FAB) consists of a tank in any shape filled up with
small carrier elements. The elements are made up of special grade PVC or
polypropylene of controlled density (shown in plate). For media of specific gravity 0.92-
0.96 the overall density could be expected to increase up to 9.5% when full of biomass
such that they can fluidize using an aeration device. A biofilm develops on the
2-9

elements, which move along the effluent in the reactor. The movement within the
reactor is generated by providing aeration with the help of diffusers placed at the
bottom of the reactor. Then thin biofilm on the elements enables the bacteria to act
upon the biodegradable matter in the effluent and reduce the BOD/COD content in the
presence of oxygen available from the air that is used for fluidization.

9.Ultraviolet Disinfection:
UV applied to low turbidity water is a highly effective means of disinfection. UV is not
harmful to aquatic organisms in the receiving water. UV light kills viruses, Vegetative- and
spore-forming bacteria, algae and yeasts. No chemicals are added to the wastewater to
change the pH, conductivity, odor or taste to create possible toxic compounds. UV
treatment has a few moving parts to adjust or wear out.
The dewatered sludge is collected in trays, which can be used as manure in the garden.
Disposal of Treated Wastewater: The treated water shall be treated and reused for
flushing the toilets, HVAC make up water requirement and on land irrigation. Hence all
the recycled water is utilized completely and is considered as a zero discharge.

drawings and designs of landscaping will be drawn after completion of the detailed
designing. The scheme of plantation and the figures are presented in mitigation
chapter. The upkeep and the management of the greening is presented as follows;
(b) Materials
Plant Materials
Plant Materials shall be well formed and shaped true to type, and free from disease,
insects and defects such as knots, sun-scaled, windburn, injuries, abrasion or
disfigurement.
All plant materials shall be healthy, sound, vigorous, free from plant diseases, insect’s
pests, of their eggs, and shall have healthy, well-developed root systems. All plants shall
be hardy under climatic conditions similar to those in the locally of the project. Plants
supplied shall to confirm to the names listed on both the plan and the plant list. No
plant material will be accepted if branches are damaged or broken. All material must be
protected from the sun and weather until planted.
Any nursery stock shall have been inspected and approved by the Environmental
Specialist or the Engineer.
All plants shall conform to the requirements specified in the plant list. Except that
plants larger then specified may be used if approved, but use of such plants shall not
increase the contract price. If the use of the larger plant is approved, the spread of
roots or ball of earth shall be increased in proportion to the size of plant.
Top Soil (Good Earth)
Topsoil or good earth shall be a friable loam, typical of cultivated topsoils of the locality
containing at least 2% of decayed organic matter (humus). It shall be taken from a well-
drained arable site. It shall be free of subsoil, stones, earth skids, sticks, roots or any
other objectionable extraneous matter or debris. It shall contain no toxic material. No
topsoil shall be delivered in a muddy condition. It shall have pH value ranging between
6 and 8.5.
Fertilizer
Measurement of sludge shall be in stacks, with 8% reduction for payment. It shall be
free from extraneous matter, harmful bacteria insects or chemicals. (Subjected to
safety norms).
Root System
The root system shall be conducive to successful transplantation. While necessary, the
root-ball shall be preserved by support with Hessian or other suitable material. On soils
where retention of a good ball is not possible, the roots should be suitably protected in
such a way that the roots are not damaged.
Condition
Trees and shrubs shall be substantially free from pests and diseases, and shall be
materially undamaged. Torn or lacerated roots shall be pruned before dispatch. No
roots shall be subjected to adverse conditions such as prolonged exposure to drying
winds or subjection to water logging between lifting and delivery.
5 - 29
Team Labs and Consultants
Hyderabad International Trade Exposition Centre Environmental Impact Statement
(d) Packaging
Packaging shall be adequate for the protection of the plants and such as to avoid
heating or drying out.
(e) Marking
Each specimen of tree and shrub, or each bundle, shall be legibly labelled with the
following particulars:
Its name.
The name of the supplier, unless otherwise agreed.
The date of dispatch from the nursery.
Digging of Pits
Tree pits shall be dug a minimum of three weeks prior to backfilling. The pits shall be
120 cm in diameter and 120 cm deep. While digging the pits, the topsoil up to a depth
of 30 cm may be kept aside, if found good (depending upon site conditions), and mixed
with the rest of the soil.
If the side of the below, it shall be replaced with the soil mixture as specified further
herein. If the soil is normal it shall be mixed with manure; river sand shall be added to
the soil if it is heavy.
The bottom of the pit shall be forked to break up the subsoil.
Back Filling
The soil back filled watered through and gently pressed down, a day previous to
planting, to make sure that it may not further settle down after planting. The soil shall
be pressed down firmly by treading it down, leaving a shallow depression all round for
watering.
Planting
No tree pits shall be dug until final tree position has been pegged out for approval. Care
shall be taken that the plant sapling when planted is not been buried deeper than in the
nursery, or in the pot. Planting should not be carried out in waterlogged soil. Plant
trees at the original soil depth; soil marks on the stem is an indication of this and should
5 - 30
Team Labs and Consultants
Hyderabad International Trade Exposition Centre Environmental Impact Statement
be maintained on the finished level, allowing for setting of the soil after planting. All
plastic and other imperishable containers should be removed before planting. Any
broken or damage roots should be cut back to sound growth.
The bottom of the planting pit should be covered with 50mm to 75mm of soil. Bare
roots should be spread evenly in the planting pit; and small mound in the centre of the
pits on which the roots are placed will aid on even spread. Soil should be placed around
the roots, gently shaking the tree to allow the soil particles to shift into the root system
to ensure close contact with all roots and prevent air pockets. Back fill soil should be
firmed as filling proceeds, layer by layer, care being taken to avoid damaging the roots,
as follows:
The balance earth shall be filled in a mixture of 1:3 (1 part sludge to 3-part earth by
volume) with 50 gm potash, (Mop) 50gms of Super Phosphate and 1Kg. Neem oil cake.
Aldrin or equivalent shall be applied every 15 days in a mixture of 5ml in 5 litres of
water.
Staking
Newly planted trees must be held firmly although not rigidly by staking to prevent a
pocket forming around the stem and newly formed fibrous roots being broken by
mechanical pulling as the tree rocks
Methods:
The main methods of staking shall be:
(a) A single vertical shake, 900mm longer than the clear stem of the tree, driven
600mm to 900mm into the soil.
(b) Two stakes as above driven firmly on either side of the tree with a cross bar to
which the stem is attached. Suitable for bare- rooted or Ball material.
(c) A single stake driven in at an angle at 45 degrees and leaning towards the
prevailing wind, the stem just below the lowest branch being attached to the
stake. Suitable for small bare- rooted or Ball material
(d) For plant material 3m to 4.5m high with a single stem a three wire adjustable
guy system may be used in exposed situations.
The end of stake should be pointed and the lower 1m to 1.2m should be coated with a
non-injurious wood preservative allowing at least 150mm above ground level.
Tying
Each tree should be firmly secured to the stake so as to prevent excessive movement.
Abrasion must be avoided by using a buffer, rubber or Hessian, between the tree and
stake. The tree should be secured at a point just below its lowest branch, and also just
above ground level; normally two ties should be used for tree. These should be
adjusted or replaced to allow for growth.
Watering
The Landscape Contractor should allow for the adequate watering in of all newly
planted trees and shrubs immediately after planting and he shall during the following
growing season, keep the plant material well watered.
5 - 31
Team Labs and Consultants
Hyderabad International Trade Exposition Centre Environmental Impact Statement
Fertilizing
Fertilising shall be carried out by application in rotation of the following fertilisers, every
15 days from the beginning of the monsoon till the end of winter:
(1) Sludge or organic well-rotted dry farm yard manure: 0.05 cum or tussle.
(2) Urea 25 gm.
(3) Ammonium sulphate 25 gm.
(4) Potassium sulphate 25 gm.
All shrubs, which are supplied pot grown, shall be well soaked prior to planting.
Watering in and subsequent frequent watering of summer planted container- grown
plants is essential.
(h) Grassing
Preparation
During period prior to planting the ground shall be maintained free from weeds.
Grading and final weeding of the area shall be completed at least three weeks prior to
the actual sowing. Regular watering shall be continued until sowing by dividing the area
into portions of approximately 5m squares by constructing small bunds to retain water.
These 'bunds' shall be leveled just prior to sowing of grass plants; it shall be ensured
that the soil has completely settled.
Soil
The soil itself shall be ensured to the satisfaction of Landscape Architect to be a good
fibrous loam, rich in humus.
Sowing the grass roots
Grass roots (cynodon, dectylon or a local genus approved by the Landscape Architect)
shall be obtained from a grass patch, seen and approved before hand.
5 - 32
Team Labs and Consultants
Hyderabad International Trade Exposition Centre Environmental Impact Statement
The grass roots stock received at site shall be manually cleared of all weeds and water
sprayed over the same after keeping the stock in place protected from sun and dry
winds.
Grass stock received at site may be stored for a maximum of three days. In case
grassing for some areas is scheduled for a later date fresh stock of grass roots shall be
ordered and obtained.
Execution
Small roots shall be dibbled about 5 cm apart into the prepared grounds. Grass will
only be accepted as reaching practical completion when germination has proved
satisfactory and all weeds have been removed.
Maintenance
As soon as the grass is approximately a 3cm high it shall be rolled with a light wooden
roller – in fine, dry weather – and when it has grown to 5 to 8 cm, above to ground
weeds must be removed and regular cutting with the scythe and rolling must be begun.
A top-dressing of an ounce of guano to the square yard or well decomposed well
broken sludge manure shall be applied when the grass is sufficiently secure in the
ground to bear the mowing machine, the blades must be raised an inch above the
normal level for the first two or three cuttings. That is to say, the grass should be cut so
that it is from 4 to 5 cm in length, instead of the 3 cm necessary for mature grass. In the
absence of rain, in the monsoon, the lawn shall be watered every ten days heavily,
soaking the soil through to a depth of at least 20 cm.
Damage failure or dying back of grass due to neglect of watering especially for seeding
out of normal season shall be the responsibility of the contractor. Any shrinkage below
the specified levels during the contract or defect liability period shall be rectified at the
contractor's expense. The Contractor is to exercise care in the use of rotary cultivator
and mowing machines to reduce to a minimum the hazards of flying stones and
brickbats. All rotary mowing machines are to be fitted with safety guards.
Rolling
A light roller shall be used periodically, taking care that the area is not too wet and
sodden.
Edging
These shall be kept neat and must be cut regularly with the edging shears.
Fertilizing
The area shall be fed once in a month with liquid manure prepared by dissolving 45gms
of ammonium sulphate in 5 litres of water.
Watering
Water shall be applied at least once in three days during dry weather. Watering
whenever done should be thorough and should wet the soil at least up to a depth of
20 cm.
Weeding
Prior to regular mowing the contractor shall carefully remove rank and unsightly weeds.

The Landscape Contractor shall maintain all planted areas within Landscape contract
boundaries for one year until the area is handed over in whole or in phases.
Maintenance shall include replacement of dead plants, watering, weeding, cultivating,
control of insects, fungus and other diseases by means of spraying with an approved
insecticide or fungicide, pruning, and other horticulture operations necessary for proper
growth of the plants and for keeping the landscape sub-contract area neat in
appearance.
Tree Guards
Where the tree guards are necessary, care should be taken to ensure that they do not
impede natural movement or restrict growth. Circular iron tree guards shall be provided
for the trees at enhancement locations. The specifications for which one given below:
Circular Iron Tree Guard with Bars.
The tree guard shall be 50 cm. in diameter.

29. To get the most from your watering time, group your plants according to their water
needs.
30. Remember to weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with other
plants for nutrients, light, and water.
31. While fertilizers promote plant growth, they also increase water consumption.
Apply the minimum amount of fertilizer needed.
32. Avoid installing ornamental water features unless the water is being recycled.
33. Teach your employees how to shut off your automatic watering systems so anyone
can turn sprinklers off when a storm is approaching.
34. Make sure your toilet flapper doesn’t stick open after flushing.
35. Make sure there are aerators on all of your faucets.
36. Next time you add or replace a flower or shrub, choose a low water use plant for
year-round landscape color and save up to 2081.976 liters each year.
37. Spot spray or remove weeds as they appear.
38. Use a screwdriver as a soil probe to test soil moisture. If it goes in easily, don’t
water. Proper lawn watering can save thousands of liters of water annually.
39. Install a drip irrigation system around your trees and shrubs to water more
efficiently.
40. Mow your lawn as infrequently as possible. Mowing puts your lawn under
additional stress, causing it to require more water.
41. Don’t use the sprinklers just to cool off or for play. Running through water from a
hose or sprinkler wastes gallons of water.
42. Direct downspouts or gutters toward shrubs or trees.
43. Insulate hot water pipes so you don’t have to run as much water to get hot water to
the faucet.
44. If you have an evaporative air conditioner, direct the water drain to a flowerbed,
tree, or your lawn.
45. Make suggestions to your employer to save water (and dollars) at work.
46. Use a hose nozzle and turn off the water while you wash your car and save more
than 378.541 liters.
47. Install a toilet dam or bottle filled with water in your toilet tank to cut down on the
amount of water used for each flush. Be sure these devices do not interfere with
operating parts.
48. Prune back heavy foliage. Reducing leaf area reduces water needs.
49. Pick-up the phone and report significant water losses from broken pipes, open
hydrants and errant sprinklers to the society.

Site tidiness
All the construction workers are briefed about the importance of keeping the site tidy,
by clearing the rubbish and scrap at the end of the day, to keep the work area clear of
equipment and material, by depositing the waste in a designated location, by cleaning
up spills of materials.
Excavation
Excavation for foundation and trenches involves removal of soil and rock. Excavation or
trenching plan shall consider underground services if any. The hazards related to
excavation are face collapse and injury or burial of workers by soil and rock, fall and slip
of people in excavated pits and trenches, and injury to workers due to falling material
or equipment. The precautions to be taken are protection of excavation faces by
support material, erection of shoring along trenches.
Urban areas have building properties adjacent to the developing site, in such cases it is
necessary to shore the face of adjacent property to avoid fall or collapse of neighboring
land or wall. Vehicular movement surrounding the excavated area needs to be
restricted so as to avoid face collapse, and possible injury to workers. Excavation areas
shall be provided with adequate lighting.
Scaffolding
One of the important and serious safety risk in construction activity is fall of person
from a height and fall of materials and objects from height resulting in injury to
workers. Scaffold is a supporting structure connecting two are more platforms used for
either storage of materials or as a work place. Guard rails and toe boards shall be
provided at every place where the height of scaffolding is more than 2 m. It shall be
ensured that scaffold is anchored and tied to the building, it is not overloaded with men
and material, it is examined (both bamboo or wood and rope) frequently for infection
by insects, and that timber, if used, is not painted.
Ladders
Ladders are most commonly used equipment, as it is readily available and inexpensive,
and is used widely. However the limitations of ladders are overlooked resulting in
injuries and fatalities. Ladders have limitations; allows only one person to work, climb,
and carry materials or work with one hand, restricts movement, should be secured all
the time either using ropes or other people. It is essential to secure the ladder before
use. The safe use of ladder involves; ensuring that there are no overhead power lines,
ladder extends at least one meter above the landing place, never use props to extend
the height of ladder, facing the ladder while climbing or descending, making sure foot
5 - 41
Team Labs and Consultants
Hyderabad International Trade Exposition Centre Environmental Impact Statement
ware of ladder user is free of mud and grease, not to over balance or over reach and
using a hoist line instead of carrying materials.
Steel Erection
Steel erection of building frames requires construction work at heights and in exposed
positions. However planning at the design stage, setting the sequence of operations,
supervising during construction, and usage of personal protective equipment like safety
belts in addition to provision of safety nets, anchorage points etc.
Confined Spaces
Construction work in confined spaces like open manholes, sewers, trenches, pipes,
ducts etc. may have dangerous atmosphere due to lack of oxygen or due to presence of
flammable or toxic gases. Work confined space is always conducted under supervision,
with adequate safety measures like; checking the atmosphere in confined space before
entry, provision of rescue harness to everyone, involvement of minimum of two
persons – one person for monitoring and ready for rescuing if needed, provision of
safety equipment like atmospheric testing device, safety harness, torch light, first aid
equipment, fire fighting apparatus, and resuscitation equipment.
Vehicles
The construction area shall have multiples of vehicles moving material with in the site
and from outside the site. The most common causes of onsite traffic incidents are; bad
driving technique, carelessness, carrying unauthorized passengers, poor maintenance of
vehicles, site congestion, overloading, and uneven ground and debris. It is proposed to
ensure that all drivers have appropriate driving license, routes are planned, marked and
leveled, enlisting additional workers during reversing, switching off the engine during
idling, and periodic maintenance schedule for all vehicles.
Working Environment
Many chemical substances like adhesives, cleaning agents, floor treatments, fungicides,
cements, grouts, insulants, sealants, paints, solvents etc. Solvents are critical
substances which require due attention as they are flammable and or toxic in few cases.
The usage of these chemical substances is always ensured to follow the instructions
mentioned by the manufacturers. Solvents will not be used for removal of paints and
grease from skin. Personal protective equipment is provided by the proponent and or
the contractor and the site safety executive shall ensure the same. Construction sites
are also major sources of noise resulting in hearing impairment. Hence it will be
ensured that all emission sources are provided with mufflers or silencers, motors are
covered, machinery panels are secured and are not allowed to rattle, and noise
attenuating screens are provided to segregate noisy working areas, in addition to
provision of personal protective equipment. Gloves are used when using Vibration
causing equipment. Adequate lighting is provided in work areas to mitigate hazards.

Construction Hazards
Hazards for construction workers are typically of four classes: chemical, physical,
biological and social.
Chemical hazards
Chemical hazards are mainly due to inhalation of dusts, fumes, mists, vapours or gases,
although some airborne hazards may settle on and be absorbed through the intact skin
(e.g., pesticides and some organic solvents). Chemical hazards also occur in liquid or
semi-liquid state (e.g., glues or adhesives, tar) or as powders (e.g., dry cement). Skin
contact with chemicals in this state can occur in addition to possible inhalation of the
vapor resulting in systemic poisoning or contact dermatitis. Chemicals might also be
ingested with food or water, or might be inhaled by smoking.
Several illnesses have been linked to the construction trades, among them: Silicosis
among sand blasters and rock drill operators; Asbestosis (and other diseases caused by
asbestos) among asbestos insulation workers, steam pipe fitters, building demolition
workers and others; Bronchitis among welders, Skin allergies among masons and others
who work with cement: Neurologic disorders among painters and others exposed to
organic solvents.
Physical hazards
Physical hazards are present in every construction project. These hazards include noise,
heat and cold, radiation, vibration and barometric pressure. Construction work often
must be done in extreme weather conditions. The usage of machines for construction
is resulting in noise. The sources of noise are engines of all kinds (e.g., on vehicles, air
compressors and cranes), winches, paint guns, pneumatic hammers, power saws,
sanders, planers and many more. It affects not only the person operating the machine,
but all the workers close-by. This may not only cause noise-induced hearing loss, but
also may mask other sounds that are important for communication and for safety.
Pneumatic hammers, many hand tools and earth-moving and other large mobile
machines also subject workers to segmental and whole-body vibration. Heat and cold
hazards arise primarily because a large portion of construction work is conducted while
exposed to the weather, the principal source of heat and cold hazards. Heavy
equipment operators may sit beside a hot engine and work in an enclosed cab with
windows and without ventilation. Those that work in an open cab with no roof have no
protection from the sun. A shortage of potable water or shade contributes to heat
stress as well. The principal sources of non-ionizing ultraviolet (UV) radiation are the
sun and electric arc welding. Lasers are becoming more common and may cause injury,
especially to the eyes, if the beam is intercepted. Strains and sprains are among the
most common injuries among construction workers. These, and many chronically
disabling musculoskeletal disorders (such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and low-
back pain) occur as a result of either traumatic injury, repetitive forceful movements,
awkward postures or overexertion. Falls due to unstable footing, unguarded holes and
slips off scaffolding and ladders are very common.
Biological hazards
Biological hazards are presented by exposure to infectious micro-organisms, to toxic
substances of biological origin or animal attacks. Excavation workers, for example, can
5 - 45
Team Labs and Consultants
Hyderabad International Trade Exposition Centre Environmental Impact Statement
develop histoplasmosis, an infection of the lung caused by a common soil fungus. Since
there is constant change in the composition of the labour force on any one project,
individual workers come in contact with other workers and, as a consequence, may
become infected with contagious diseases-influenza or tuberculosis, for example.
Workers may also be at risk of malaria disease if work is conducted in areas where
these organisms and their insect vectors are prevalent.
Social hazards
Employment in construction sector is intermittent, and control over many aspects of
employment is limited because construction activity is dependent on many factors over
which construction workers have no control, such as the state of an economy or the
weather. Because of the same factors, there can be intense pressure to become more
productive. Since the workforce is constantly changing, and with it the hours and
location of work, and many projects require living in work camps away from home and
family, construction workers may lack stable and dependable networks of social
support. Features of construction work such as heavy workload, limited control and
limited social support are the very factors associated with increased stress in other
industries. These hazards are not unique to any trade, but are common to all
construction workers in one way or another.
Engineering controls
Hazards originate at a source. The most efficient way to protect workers from hazards is
to change the primary source with some sort of engineering change. For example, a less
hazardous substance can be substituted for one that is more hazardous. Water can be
substituted for organic solvents in paints. Similarly, non-silica abrasives can replace
sand in abrasive blasting (also known as sand blasting). Or a process can be
fundamentally changed, such as by replacing pneumatic hammers with impact
hammers that generate less noise and vibration. If sawing or drilling generates harmful
dusts, particulate matter or noise, these processes could be done by shear cutting or
punching. Technological improvements are reducing the risks of some musculoskeletal
and other health problems. Many of the changes are straightforward-for example, a
two-handed screwdriver with a longer handle increases torque on the object and
reduces stress on the wrists.
Environmental controls
Environmental controls are used to remove a hazardous substance from the
environment, if the substance is airborne, or to shield the source, if it is a physical
hazard. Provision of flexible Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) may be used. The simple
and effective method for controlling exposure to radiant physical hazards (noise,
ultraviolet (UV) radiation from arc welding, infrared radiant (IR) heat from hot objects)
is to shield them with some appropriate material. Plywood sheets shield IR and UV
radiation, and material that absorbs and reflects sound will provide some protection

from noise sources. Major sources of heat stress are weather and hard physical
labour. Adverse effects from heat stress can be avoided through reductions in the
workload, provision of water and adequate breaks in the shade and, possibly, night
work.
Personal protection
When engineering controls or changes in work practices do not adequately protect
workers, workers may need to use personal protective equipment (PPE). In order for
such equipment to be effective, workers must be trained in its use, and the equipment
must fit properly and be inspected and maintained. Furthermore, if others who are in
the vicinity may be exposed to the hazard, they should either be protected or
prevented from entering the area.
