21.1 Objective
Specific Job Safety is to identify key job steps, tools, equipment, potential
environmental, safety and health hazards, hazard control practices, required personal
protection equipment (PPE) for complex and usually repetitive jobs done during
erection of FRP Piping.
A risk assessment as per Section 6 of this HSE Plan shall be carried out and shall be
discussed in tool box talk prior to work start.
Following are the key jobs executed regularly for erection of FRP Piping works.
Cutting of pipes require heavy angle grinders 7” or 9”especially for large diameter pipes
and fitted with diamond cutting discs.
Grinders shall be colour coded as per the Project Color Code and inspected for
mechanical faults prior to work.
Grinders shall have dead man switch and shall be double insulated.
Cutting discs shall be checked for cracks and suitability prior to work start. Cutting discs
will be marked with maximum permissible rpm and will not be used with machines
having higher rpm than maximum permissible rpm of cutting discs.

Operator of Grinders shall wear face shield, dust mask and ear plug.
Pipes shall be properly and firmly supported to avoid slippage while cutting.
Surface preparation of pipes such as grinding beveling, shaving require heavy angle
grinders of different sizes such as 4.5”, 7” or 9” fitted with grinding disc, electrical
planers fitted with carbide blades, shaver machines fitted with diamond cutting cylinder
driven by grinders or power drives.
Tools shall be colour coded as per the Project Color Code and inspected for mechanical
faults prior to work.
Guards shall be fitted to grinders, diamond cutting cylinder of shaver machine at all
times.
Grinders shall have dead man switch and shall be double insulated.
Grinding discs shall be checked for cracks and suitability prior to work start. Grinding
discs will be marked with maximum permissible rpm and will not be used with
machines having higher rpm than maximum permissible rpm of grinding discs.
Operator of Grinders shall wear face shield, dust mask and ear plug.
Pipes shall be properly and firmly supported to avoid slippage while grinding.
Grinding will be done as much practically as possible in the pipe storage area.
21.4 Erection of FRP pipes, fittings and in line equipments such as valves, bellows etc.
Erection of pipes and equipments will be done mostly by mechanical lifting equipments
such as crane, forklift, lifting gears.

Only Cranes with required statutory inspection certificates and approved by the
CONTRACTOR shall be used.
Licensed, Certified by third party and experienced operators will be utilized to operate
the cranes or other lifting equipments.
All lifting gears shall have valid third party inspection certificates and colour coded.
Safe Work Load will be displayed on lifting gears. Gears shall be inspected for any
defects prior to use. Recertification will be done every 6 months.
The weight of the load to be lifted shall be determined to ensure that overloading is
prevented.
Loading will be closely supervised with trained riggers in attendance. Rigger shall wear
florescent jackets of specific colour.
Rigging studies will be undertaken if required to ensure the lifting operation is carried
out in a controlled and effective manner.
All the requirements for use of crane mentioned in Section 8 of this HSE plan shall be
followed.
While installing pipe fittings or equipments where weight concentration is not uniform,
load shall be properly balanced before lifting so as to avoid slipping of the load. This
could be achieved using proper use of webbing slings, chain blocks or lever hoists.
All the requirements mentioned in this HSE plan while working in trench, at height and
confined space shall be followed.
Chemicals are used for jointing pipes using lamination methods. All the safety
precautions as required by MSDS and Project specifications shall be followed while
handling chemicals.

Dip tray/polythene sheets shall be placed under joints and in mixing area to avoid
contact of chemicals with native soil.
Chemical waste including contaminated polythene sheets, refills and containers shall be
disposed as per the procedure.
Respiratory filter masks shall be worn by workers engaged in lamination and chemical
mixing work.
Rubber boots, chemical resistant gloves and chemical googles shall88 be worn by
personnel engaged in mixing of chemicals.
Confined space procedure shall be applied while doing internal lamination of joints in
locations classified as Confined Space.

jointing/mixing activity.
Pressure testing of pipes will only be carried out by competent and experienced
personnel.
A line inspection by Hydro test Supervisor and HSE Officer shall be done prior to water
filling to check whether pipeline have been restrained properly, hydro test section has
been barricaded along with safety warning signs.
Filling and pressurizing pumps, pressure hoses, manifold, blind flanges shall be
inspected to check defects and suitability prior to water filling.
Required work permit for hydro testing shall be obtained from authorities prior to water
filling.

Entire line should be soft barricaded with required warning signs. A taped off area will
be delimited around the test pump, the diameter of this area will be 1.5 times the length
of the test pressure hose between pump and blind flange/end cap; where only designated
personnel will have access.
Required vehicles and testing personnel should be employed to monitor the test section
with communication equipments.
Draining pump should be kept ready to drain the line at lowest point in case of any
pipe/joint failure.
During stages from pressurizing to depressurising, utmost care should be taken to avoid
