Good housekeeping is essential to maintain safe and healthy conditions in


the workplace and site. Housekeeping is a daily job and should not be left
until a scheduled day, clean up as you work.
1. Keep fire exit routes, corridors, aisles, passageways, stairways and
doors free from obstruction or hazard.
2. Keep floors free from debris and clean up spillages promptly as these
occur.
3. Protruding nails/screws may present a hazard. They should therefore
be removed from re-usable boards, planks and timber. Protruding
nails/ screws in scrap timber should be bent flush, hammered in or
removed.
4. Tools should not be left lying around. Put them away when a job is
finished, or at the end of each working day.

Permit-To-Work

Permits are required for work involving:


1.General Work Permit
2. Night Work Permit
3. Hot works.
4. Machinery and pressure systems.
5. Live Electricity.
6. Working at Height – where applicable.
7. Confined Spaces
8. Working in a Fire Compartment/protected area, staircase, means of

16 | P a g e
Document No: SKRH-EHS-02
The essential features of Permits-to-Work are:

1. Clear definition of who may authorize particular work.


2. Clear identification of who is responsible for specifying the necessary
precautions to be taken.
3. Effective instruction and training to all personnel in the issue and use
of permits.
4. Performance monitoring in order to ensure that the safe system is
implemented as intended.
5. The permit is therefore a written document that gives authorization to
certain people to carry out specific work within certain time
constraints. It sets out the main precautions needed to complete the
work safely and without any risks to the safety and health to those
people who are involved.

The mere issue of a Permit-to-Work does NOT:

I. Simply give permission to carry out dangerous work or


II. In it make a job safe

IF ANY CONDITIONS OF THE PERMIT ARE BREACHED AT ANY TIME, THE


CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBLE WILL BE LIABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM SITE.
OHSE MANAGER IS ELIGIBLE TO ISSUE WORK PERMIT.

17 | P a g e
Document No: SKRH-EHS-02
Manual Handling
Manual Handling activities should be reduced to a minimum with the use of
mechanical means being the first choice. It is understood in the
construction industry manual handling is an evitable fact. Only those
trained and able may manually handle loads. The Key consideration is to
keep the load small and manageable – small loads with frequent moves are
better than one heavy lift that results in injury, time off work and no pay!..
 First steps are to assess the load and use an appropriate mechanical
lifting aid.
 Know your route of travel and that it’s clear of obstacles and people.
 Secure loads before moving them.
 Use proper lifting techniques when manually handling material.
 Get down close to the load.
 Keep your back straight and keep your chin up.
 Lift gradually, using your legs. Do not jolt or twist. Get help for bulky
or heavy loads.
18 | P a g e
Document No: SKRH-EHS-02
 If, while carrying or pushing a load, it should become unbalanced and
start to fall, let if fall clear rather than risk serious strain in attempting
to balance it alone

Personal Protective Equipment

once all alternatives have been explored.

Head Protection

1. Safety helmets are essential where there is a risk of head injury.


2. Welders exposed to the hazards of falling objects from overhead must
