5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 Safety Education
 The workers will be advised to wear and/ use PPE’s, hard hat, vest, safety
shoes, eye spectacles, googles, gloves and dust mask prior to the
chipping works. Appropriate signage will be posted on the areas covered
by the chipping works in order to inform the other workers doing their own
work on the specified areas
 During Inspection
 Contractor’s safety engineer will visit the site frequently and check that all
precautions are taken prior and during working hours. Proper
housekeeping is also observed before and after the activity. Safety officer
will ensure that all personnel, equipment, work permit, PPE’s are in
compliance with the safety standards.
 Scaffolding and Ladder
 Scaffolding are generally classified by the loading of work platform with
light, medium or heavy design platform. Platform load 25 (122), 50 (224)
and 75 (336) psi – (kg/m2). The requirements are applicable to all scaffold
work platform:
a) A guard shall enclose all working platforms more than 10 ft. (3m)
above the ground or floor level.
b) Guardian shall be located 42 in(1050mm).
c) Work platform shall be completely decked with no openings.
d) Adequate access to each work platform shall be provided.
e) If ladder are used they should be securely tied to scaffold.
f) Planks should be fastened, secured and kept clean.
g) All materials use for scaffolding shall be periodically inspected to
confirm condition satisfactory for confirm used.
h) Suitable footing shall be provided to prevent uneven settlement and
loading of vertical support of scaffolding.
i) When erecting or using rolling scaffold, caster wheels shall be
locked in the position if adjusting screws are used. They should be
installed only at the base plate any tool or materials on scaffold to
move shall be secured.
j) Straight or extension ladder shall be use at an angle of seventy five
(75) degrees with horizontal of four is to one (4-1) and the top
extending at least 3 ft. (900mm) above the points of top support
and securely tied at the point.

 DUST CONTROL
 a) Implement a suitable program for dust control in and around the project site,
designed to reduce dust generation/ distribution to reasonable levels.
Coordinate with environmental program.
b) The principle of dust control is to reduce dust generated at source.
c) When carrying out activities which will generate dust, isolation of work area is
preferable.
d) Demarcate the work area and put up warning notice at dusty zone.
e) Reduce time exposure inside the dusty zone. If not possible compulsory
wearing of breathing apparatus is needed.
f) Frequent watering is required on site for dust suppression.
g) Materials (e.g. cement) which will generate dust should be handled carefully
and proper dust mask must be used.
h) Supplementary equipment such as water facilities and dust absorbers should
be used in activities like grinding, drilling etc. which generate dust; workers
should wear approved breathing apparatus.
i) All kinds breathing apparatus should be in proper type.
j) For the sake of environmental protection and public concern effective dust
control and monitor programmed should be adopted to maintain the dust level
at an acceptable standard.

6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 It shall be implemented to protect the public from hazard, connected with

construction operation and activities.

REQUIREMENTS:
 Standard Warning Sign
 Safety Net/ Inverted Umbrellas
 Exhaust/ Ventilation fan for dust control

All these items shall be installed as required by the government regulations and by
construction standards.

 Inspection shall be conducted and advice to proceed when all requirements are
complied with the following requirements will be examined but not limited to: warning
sign and barricades, exhaust/ ventilation fan fire extinguisher, PPE’s and etc.
 Removes damaging using for function other that informing the public towards
