 The ceiling area must be measured/surveyed in order to determine the arrangement

of acoustical units in order to balance border widths at opposing sides of each

ceiling.
 Less-than-half-width units at borders must be avoided, and mirrored ceiling plans
must be followed whenever practicable.

Process of Installation
 The acoustic ceiling system must be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations, project specifications, and approved shop
drawings.
 Suspension systems must be erected using just building members as support.
Hangers must be located no less than 150mm from each end and spaced no less
than 1.2m apart along each carrying channel or runner. The spacing of hangers,
carrying channels, and runners must be matched with the position of MEP fixtures,
and hangers must splay where necessary to avoid obstacles.

 Additional supplement framing and supports must be supplied if the ceiling is

suspended below ducting, pipes, or other building elements that are not
appropriate for ceiling attachment.
 Hangers must be spaced no more than 1.2 inches apart and fastened to the hanger
inserts above.

 Carrying channel grid runners must be installed on 1.2m centers, connected to

hangers, and leveled.

 Cross-channel grids must be inserted between main channel grids, flush cut, and
secured to longitudinal channels.
 All exposed acoustical ceiling unit surfaces must be level and flush, with all seams
straight and true.

 Light fixtures and other components must be cut and fitted neatly.

 During installation, replace any damaged tiles.

 Layout pattern in accordance with the approved plan’s reflected ceiling.
 Tolerance for ceiling suspension system leveling is 3.2mm 3.67m.
 Corners should be mitered precisely and firmly connected. Suspended Ceiling

 Access and egress onto the rear of any vehicle or trailer will be through a ladder
fastened to the truck or trailer’s side.

Controlling Health and Safety Risks

 Before beginning any activity, ensure that the work permit and any accompanying
documentation, such as RAMS, are signed and approved.
 Approved RAMS will be made available on-site, and job-specific dangers and
controls will be explained to all individuals participating in the job.
 Ascertain that every PPE is evaluated for job applicability, constraints,
capabilities, and compatibility with other PPE.
 Approved RAMS will be made available on-site, and job-specific dangers and
controls will be explained to all individuals participating in the job.
 Ensure that staff has received manual handling training.
 Use mechanical devices to avoid needless heavy manual handling of materials.

 Prior to beginning any job on site, all staff must get a safety induction/training.
 Job supervisors must have a pre-job STARRT/TBT meeting to inform workers
about job-specific dangers.

 Conduct a site examination to verify proper access/egress for job operations.

Maintain a clean working environment.
 There is lone working allowed.
 Maintain adequate housekeeping in the workspace.
 Use the proper tools for the job. Do not utilize a tool or accessory for a task for
which it was not designed. Ensure that tools are inspected by a competent person
and that a record is kept. Color-coded as needed.
