3. Procedures

3.1 Rain
Once the rain starts all permits to work approvals will be automatically cancelled and concerned
supervision reissue the permit after completing and approval from site engineer and HSE department.

3.2 Working with electrical power tools- there is some potential for such a tool, if damaged
to electrocute the user. We use 110v equipment and center-wired arrangements to minimize the
current but there is still a danger. Tools therefore must be inspected every day before use. Therefore,

during prolonged rain power tools use shall be suspended until the stops. After rain all electrical
installations and portable power tools/items must be inspected by competent electrician.

3.3 Drawing- if work is being carried out in any area where the rain water is pudding or forming a
deep reservoir even if temporary then there is some potential for a worker to get into difficult in that
water. Similarly if there are excavations or boreholes, then a significant depth of water could build up
inside and with steep sides, if a worker fell in he would have a difficulty is escaping from the water. All
such boreholes and excavations must be safely barricaded to prevent workers entering a Zone
immediately adjacent to the opening.

3.4 Collapse- if the rain is prolonged and heavy it can destabilize any excavations open at the time.
Therefore, during such ran all workers shall be removed from excavations until rain has stopped and an
inspection of the opening made to verify there are no problems. After the rain all excavations and
possible water accumulation areas including manholes to be inspected by site engineer and HSE
department. Work will commence after the safe to work confirmation from HSE department.

3.5 Work at height- Once the rain start all work at height activities will be suspended and work will
commence only after completing the inspection by the area supervisor revalidate the scaffolding tag.

4. Resources
 Water pump for dewatering
 Tankers for dewatering the huge quantity of water from excavation
 Competent electrician

5. Heavy Rainy situation management

 Site engineer shall report to construction manager
 Site safety officer shall coordinate with site engineer and assess the situation
 Safety officer shall suspend all external activities like scaffold work, roof work, work on
balconies, excavation related work, hot work activities and power tools operation by informing
the concerned site engineer.
 Project manager and HSE manager shall take a decision in coordination with project director to

6. Wind and dust

If the wind picks up a number of work areas need to be monitored and if necessary stopped.

6.1 Lifting- if the winds reaches 35kph, all crane activity shall be suspended until the wind speed
drops again

6.2 Work activity- if the wind is sufficiently strong that the lives or health of the workforce is in
danger then the site shall be evacuated until the wind subsides.

6.3 Work at height- if the wind reaches more than 38Mph, all work at height activities will be
suspended during heavy wind and scaffolding will be re-inspected and scaffolding tag will be validated
by scaffolding inspector.

6.4 Store/stacked material-care should be taken when stacking stored items but in the event of
the wind it becomes potentially unstable and with injury or property damage consequences. / All
workforces should have received a TBT to cover the dangers of site working

7. Resources
 Anemometer in site and on tower crane
 Climate forecast update from authority

8. Heavy windy situation management

 In case of any heavy winds, lifting supervisors shall report to construction manager of each area
to stop all lifting operation. Lifting supervisor shall coordinate with crane operators to stop all

lifting operation and leave all tower carne on free slewing mode after keeping the trolley near to
mast.
 Construction manager in coordination with site engineers and supervisor to secure all loose
materials on typical floors edges from flying away.
 Site engineers shall suspend all external activities where workers are exposed to high wind and
flying objects.
 Site engineer shall stop all scaffold erection and dismantling as well as all work at height
including the roof work.
 Store keeper shall secure all loose materials at store area.
