 CHAPTER III

SAFE WORK PROCEDURES

(Construction Site Requirements)
Section 19.0
FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION

Fire prevention and fire fighting capability shall meet standard requirements for
extinguishing and controlling the occurrence of fires or leaks. All areas and
facilities at the construction site shall be protected from the accidental occurrence
of fire.

19.1 Fire Protection Plan

A fire prevention and firefighting plan shall be developed which shall address the
basic requirements during the construction phase.

19.2 Use of Owner Fire Protection Facilities

The use of Client/Owner's existing fire protection facilities shall be by prior

agreement with the Client/Owner representatives.

19.3 Fire Precautions

A. Electrical Equipment

Overheating of electrical equipment and arcs resulting from short circuits in

improperly installed or maintained electrical equipment are two of the leading
causes of fire in buildings.

1. Only approved electrical equipment should be used where flammable

gases or vapors may be present.
2. Temporary or makeshift wiring should not be used unless absolutely
necessary and should be removed as soon as possible.
3. Portable electrical tools and extension cords should be inspected at
frequent intervals and repaired promptly. Waterproof cords and sockets
should be used in damp places, and explosion-proof fixtures and lamps
should be used in the presence of highly flammable gases and vapors.
4. All electrical equipment, particularly portable electrical tools, should be
grounded or double insulated for the protection of persons using it.
5. Lamp bulbs should be protected by heavy lamp guards or by adequately
sealed transparent enclosures, kept away from sharp objects, and secured
to prevent falling. Bare bulbs should never be used when exposed to
flammable dusts or vapors.

B. Welding and Cutting Operations

1. If the object to be welded or cut cannot readily be moved, all movable fire
hazards in the vicinity shall be taken to a safe place.
2. If the object to be welded or cut cannot be moved, and if all the combustible
materials cannot be removed, then guards shall be used to confine the heat,
sparks and slag. All combustible materials which cannot be removed shall be
covered with fire-proof blankets or sheet metal.
3. Wherever there are floor openings or cracks in the flooring that cannot be
closed, precautions shall be taken so that no readily combustible material on
the floor below will be exposed to sparks which might drop through the floors.
4. Cracks or holes in walls, open doorways and open or broken windows shall be
covered with sheet metal guards.
5. Suitable fire extinguishing equipment shall be maintained in a state of
readiness for instant use.
6. Wood or any other combustible materials shall not be used for cribbing or
packing during welding or cutting operations.
7. A fire watch shall be maintained for at least a half hour after completion of
welding and cutting operations to detect and extinguish possible smoldering
fires.
8. After the completion of the job, the work area should be wetted down using
water spray.
9. Before cutting or welding is permitted, the area shall be inspected by the
individual responsible for authorizing cutting and welding operations.
10. Hot, spent electrode stubs shall be put in suitable metal bins and separate bins
should be kept for this purpose.

C. Smoking

1. Carelessly discarded cigarettes, pipe embers, and cigars are a major source of
fire. Smoking should be prohibited in wood working shops, and places where
flammable liquids or combustible products are stored or used.
2. “NO SMOKING” signs should be prominently displayed in these areas. In
places where smoking is allowed, metal ashtrays, partly filled with sand
should be provided and arrangements shall be made to empty them regularly.

D. Storage, Handling and Use of Flammable Liquids

1. Flammable liquids should always be kept in closed containers when not

actually being used. Special safety cans with a fire arrester in the spout and a
spring closing cap are recommended for handling flammable solvents after
dispensing from larger containers in which they are bought.
2. Drums containing flammable solvents should be stored upright in a place
reserved for that purpose, preferably away from buildings.
3. Flammable liquids shall not be stored in access ways used by persons as
passageways.
4. Smoking should be prohibited in all areas where flammable liquids are stored
or used. Signs “Highly Flammable-No Smoking” should be displayed at the
storage area.
5. Flammable liquids must not be used near any operation that could cause a
source of ignition.
6. All spillage of flammable liquids shall be cleaned up immediately.
7. Leaking flammable liquid containers shall be disposed off promptly and
safely.
8. Fire extinguishers should be posted at convenient and easily identified points,
on areas where flammable liquids are stored.

E. Housekeeping

1. Accumulations of oil-soaked and paint saturated clothing, rags, waste and

combustible refuse should not be allowed. Such materials should be deposited
in non-combustible metal receptacles, provided for this purpose and shall be
removed daily from the work areas.
2. Accumulations of all types of dust should be cleaned at regular intervals from
overhead pipes, beams, and other heated surfaces.
3. Ash trays which may contain smoldering material, should not be emptied into
combustible bags, or cartons or into containers of combustibles.
4. Flushing flammable liquids into sewers shall be prohibited.
5. Waste materials should not be accumulated in storage areas, welding shops,
painting rooms and where flammable liquids and gases are used.
6. Combustible materials should be present in work areas only in quantities
required for the job, and should be removed to a designated storage area at the
end of each workday.

F. Fire Extinguishers

Type ABC dry chemical portable fire extinguishers will be provided to all running
internal combustion engines or equipment and in areas where the possibility of
fire occurs such as buildings, offices, and welding points.

Distribution of fire extinguisher shall be as follows:

1. Extinguishers should be located on a safe distance from the likely hazards

preferably along tlie normal path of egress from buildings or on exits.
2. The location of the extinguisher should be made conspicuous. Visible signs
shall be posted or red bands can be painted to direct attention of employees.
3. Fire extinguishers must not be blocked or hidden by material or equipment.
4. Fire extinguishers should be kept in good condition
5. Fire extinguishers should be placed so that the maximum travel (walking)
distances between locations do not exceed 75 ft. for Class A or 50 ft. for Class
B extinguishers in hazardous area.

G. Fire Watch

When required, a fire watch shall be assigned on every hot work or welding
activity where the occurrence of fire is imminent.
Section 20.0
CONFINED SPACE ENTRY

All work activities at site that are categorized as confined space shall be covered
with a Confined Space Entry Permit issued by the Company or Contractor. All
workers undertaking work in confined spaces will be provided with the necessary
training before they are certified as competent to work in a confined space.
Section 21.0
ENERGY ISOLATION & LOCKOUT/TAG OUT

Any type of energy isolation or works on high-energy equipment should conform

to CLIENT requirements on Energy Isolation, Lockout/Tag Out Procedure.

Before working on any machine, the power supply must be cut off and the switch
should be locked out in the off position and should be tagged with a description of
the work being done and the name of the person, to prevent unexpected starting of
the machine which may injure persons working on them.

Because of the grave risk of life, the supervisor should ensure that the lockout
procedure is implemented with the necessary keys, locks and arrangements.

No two key configurations should be the same, and they should be checked to see
that each keys fits only one lock. Each worker should have his own lock and key,
and the duplicate key should be with the safe custody of the site superintendent or
manager.
General Requirements

1. Notify the operator and other users of the system that repair work is to be done
on the machine or system.
2. Make sure that the machine cannot be set in motion without your permission.
3. Place your padlock on the control switch, lever or valve, even though someone
has locked the control before you.
4. Tie the tag with your name and a description of the work being done.
5. When the job is finished remove your lock and tag. Never permit someone
else to remove it for you, and be sure you are not exposing another person to
danger. Verify that the system is clear and post a watch if necessary.
6. Re-energize the system.
Section 22.0
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

Electrical hazards are different from other types found in construction work
because the human senses provide no advance warning. About one in every thirty
electrical accidents is of serious consequences. The great majority of electrical
accidents result in shock and or burns.

1. On site offices, workshops and other facilities, which are regarded as

permanent type installations, electric wir~ng shall- be done under the
supervision of a qualified and competent electrical supervisor. All the wiring
shelled should be through conduits.
2. Where cables need to cross open areas, or where spans of 10 ft (3m) or more
are involved, support poles shall be provided as a convenient means of
suspension.
3. If it is necessary to lay the cables on the ground, these shall be protected with
reinforced hosepipe.
4. Joints in cables will be avoided wherever possible. Where unavoidable, they
shall be made in purpose built junction boxes.
5. All extension outlet boxes will be of weatherproof type.
6. Circuit breaker panels and similar places will be covered or protected.
7. A visual inspection of the installation shall be undertaken once in a week.
8. Personnel working on electrical equipment or connections will be provided
with properly insulated tools and rubber gloves.
9. Lighting will have guards to prevent accidental contact with the bulb.
Section 23.0
WELDING, CUTTING AND HEATING

Welding, cutting and burning operations shall conform to the industry standards
codes, and practices in Welding Operations.

Personnel shall be protected from the associated welding hazards by means of

wearing the necessary equipment such as helmets, shields, goggles, safety gloves,
shoes and protective clothing against heat, sparks, molten metal and radiation.

The following safety precautionary measures shall be implemented during the

conduct of welding, cutting and heating activities:

 Ensure all welding and cutting equipment, tools and accessories comply
with the approved standards codes and HSE requirements.
  All welding-related operations will be controlled under the Work Permit
Procedure.
 Ensure that a well-trained or competent Fire Watchman is provided.

Section 24.0
TOOLS, PORTABLE POWER TOOLS

Hand tools or portable power tools present similar hazards as a stationary machine
of the same kind, in addition to the risks of handling. Typical injuries caused by
tools or portable power tools are burns, cuts, and strains. Sources of injury include
electric shock, particles in the eyes, fires, falls, and falling tools.

Electric shock is the chief hazard from electrically powered tools. Injury
categories are electric flash burns, minor shock, and shock resulting in death.

24.1 General

a. The source of power should always be disconnected before accessories on a

portable tool are changed, and guards should be replaced or put in correct
adjustment before the tools are used again.
b. A tool should not be left in an overhead place where there is a chance that the
cord or hose, if pulled, will cause the tool to fall. The cord or hose and the tool
may be suspended over aisles or work areas, or if laid across the floor,
protected by wooden strips or special raceways.
c. Cords should not be hanged over nails, bolts or sharps edges. They should also
be kept away from oil, hot surfaces, and chemicals.
d. Power driven tools should be stored in secured places and not left in areas
where they may be exposed to accidental contact by personnel or otherwise
activated.
e. All portable power tools shall be stored in clean dry conditions. Power tools
must not be left lying around the job site where they could be damaged.
Rotating tools should be switched off and held until rotation has completely
stopped before they are set down. Tools must be disconnected before changing
bits, blades, cutter, or wheels.

24.2 Pneumatic Tools

A. General Requirements

1. An air compressor shall always be under the supervision of a competent

person so as to have adequate ventilation. Compressors shall not be permitted
to operate in confined spaces without the provision of adequate exhaust
ventilation.
2. All compressed air hoses shall be of the correct size to fit the tool being used.
Any joint in the hoses shall be made with a proper coupler. The hose length
shall be kept as short as possible and placed so as not to be subjected to
damage.
3. An air hose on the floor should be protected against trucks, and pedestrians by
two planks laid on either side of it or by a runway built over it. It is preferable,
however, to suspend hoses over aisles and work areas.
4. Air hose from the tool should not be disconnected and used for cleaning
machines or removing dust from clothing.
5. Air should be shut off before attempting to disconnect the air hose from the
airline. Stored air pressure inside the line should also be released before
disconnecting.

If kink or excessive wear of the hose occurs, the hose can be protected by a
wrapping of strip metal or wire.
6. During operation, air tools should be held firmly to prevent them spinning and
jumping. This pressure should be maintained during the stopping process to
prevent injury to the operator's feet and hand.

B. Jack Hammer and Concrete Breaker

1. The tool bit retaining spring shall always be securely in position to prevent the
bit from dropping out. The bit must be kept sharp.
2. The trigger should not be sequence until the tool is on the work.
3. Required eye protection must be worn while using any pneumatic tools to
prevent hazards from flying chips.
4. Workers should wear hearing protection.
5. Jack hammers should be operated away from each other, that is, back to back,
to prevent exposure of face from flying chips.
6. Operators should wear safety shoes.
7. Operators should maintain a firm grip with both hands and should stand in a
balanced position when operating the machine.

C. Air Power Grinder

This requires the same type of guarding as electric grinders. Over speeding of the
wheel should be avoided.

D. Air Operated Nailers and Staplers

The principal hazard from these tools is the accidental discharge of the fastener. In
such instances, the fastener can become a dangerous project and inflate serious
injury at considerable distance.

24.3 Electrically-Operated Power Tools

A. General Requirements

1. All electrically operated tools shall be rated.

2. Before any electrical tool is used, a careful check shall be made by the
supervisor to ensure that the supply voltage is within the range marked on the
information plate of the tool.
3. All hand tools shall be properly grounded or be of the double insulated type.
4. All tools shall be used with the trailing lead as short as possible. Each load
shall be fitted with a grounded plug to fit the socket outlet on the distribution
load.
5. Where it is necessary to make electrical splices, these shall be made with
proper connector blocks or by plug and socket connectors. Taped joints should
not be used.
6. Electrical cords of power tool should be inspected frequently and kept in good
condition; they should be of adequate wire size. Heavy-duty plugs that clamp
to the cord should be used to prevent strain on the current carrying parts if the
cord is accidentally pulled.
7. Electric cords should be protected from sharp objects, heat, and oil or solvents
that might damage or soften the insulation.
8. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three prong, grounding-type
plugs and three pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Damaged or worn
cords must be replaced immediately.
9. The inspection and maintenance of all tools shall be carried out at least once a
week by an electrician.
10. All tools shall be stored in a clean, dry place and a record of issue and receipt
shall be maintained by the storekeeper.

B. Grinders

1. All grinders shall be equipped with a protective guard,-which-allows only the

working part of the wheel to be exposed. For portable grinding machines, the
maximum angular exposure of the periphery and sides of wheel should not
exceed 180 degrees and the top portion of the wheel should always be
enclosed with adjustable guards so that operators will be inclined to make the
correct adjustment rather than remove the guard. However, the guard should
be easily removable to facilitate replacement of the wheel.
2. The operator must wear safety goggles at all times to prevent eye injuries from
broken wheels and spokes or materials being grind.
3. The wheel should be kept away from water and oil, which might affect it's
balance; the wheel should be protected against blows from other tools; and
care should be exercised not to strike the sides of a wheel against objects or to
drop the wheel.

C. Soldering Irons

1. Soldering irons are the source of burns and of illness resulting from inhalation
of fumes. Insulated, non-combustible holders should be used to eliminate the
fire hazard and the danger of burns from accidental contact.
2. Holders should be designed so that employees cannot accidentally touch the
hot irons if they should reach for them without looking.
3. Exhaust facilities must be provided where lead soldering is done. Even if lead
fumes are not present in harmful quantities it is desirable to exhaust the
nuisance fumes and smoke.
4. Lead solder particles should not be allowed to accumulate on the floor and on
worktables.

C. Drills

1. Care should be taken not to drill too large a hole at one time. If this is not
done, the drill may bind on break-through and the torque set up could twist the
tool against the user's wrist.
2. When the operator must guide the drill with a hand, the drill should be
equipped with a sleeve that fits over the drill bit. The sleeve protects the
operators hands and also serves as a limit stop, if the drill should suddenly
plague thorough the material.
3. Oversized bits should not be ground down to fit small electric drills; instead an
adapter should be used that will fit the large bit and provide extra power
through a speed reduction gear; however, this again is an indication of
improper drill size.
4. When drills are used, the pieces of work should be clamped on or anchored to
 a sturdy base to prevent whipping.
5. Electric drills should be of the proper size for the job. If the drill has a side
handle, it should be used. A punch mark should be used to facilitate starting
the drill and bit.
6. The drill should be held solidly and at the proper angle, and started slowly.
Increase speed as needed after the start.

24.4 Cartridge Operated Tools

Cartridge operated tools shall be operated or repaired by a qualified and trained

personnel only.

a. All cartridge tools should be stored in a clean dry room and a register shall be
maintained.
b. The tools shall be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated after each period of
usage. A complete overhaul should take place every year. A record of such
maintenance shall be kept by the storekeeper.
c. Careful inspection of all materials should be made before using a cartridge
tool especially in soft materials since the fixing device can penetrate the
material and emerge from the other side like a bullet.
d. Cartridge tools should not be used on concrete less than three times the
fastener shank penetration, or into very hard or brittle materials including, but
not limited to, cast iron, glazed tile, hardened steel, glass block, natural rock,
hollow tile, or smooth brick.
e. Fastener should not be driven closer than 3" (7.5 cm) from an unsupported
edge or corner.
f. New fixing should be located at least 2" from a previously made hole as
ricochet can occur when a fixing device is driven into a hole already in the
material. The device can be deflected towards the operator.
g. Recoil from firing can throw the operator off balance and care should be taken
to ensure that the operator is aware of the force of recoil. This is particularly
true when working from ladders and scaffolding.
h. If a misfire occurs, the tool should be re-triggered without moving the
equipment from the work face. If the shot again fails, then-a period of 30
seconds should be allowed before removing the tool from the work face.

The misfired cartridge should then be carefully removed from the tool
according to the manufacturer instructions.
i. Whenever cartridge tools are being used, the area around the operation should
be cleared of other personnel. If possible, screens should be erected as a
precaution against splintering.
j. Cartridge tools shall not be used where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
k. Cartridge tool operators should wear face and ear protection.
Section 25.0
LADDERS

Using ladders is fraught with danger. Studies show that most accidents are caused
by ladders slipping and that even where ladders are inclined at the recommended
angle. Accidents still happen where ladders are unsecured.

However many accidents occur where the ladders remains stable and are mainly
due to the users slipping on rungs or a missed footing, lost grip, or over reaching
and over balancing. Those persons carrying tools or other materials are
particularly at risk.
25.1 Direct Causes of Ladder Accidents

 Ladder Slipping at Base

 Mainly where ladders are placed on surfaces which are both smooth and
hard, though a small percentage occur on soft ground and some where a
ladder is set on a box, bricks or a pile of material.
 Ladder too near the vertical.
 Over reaching and over-balancing.
 Slips on rungs due to wet or muddy foot wear.
 Ladder resting against fragile or movable material or structures.
 Insufficient projection to provide suitable handhold when stepping onto
highest working level.
 Falling material.
 Using too short a ladder.
 Ladders touching live electrical conductors.
 Using ladders horizontally as planks or as part of scaffold structures.
 Defective ladders.

25.2 Utility of Ladder

It should be first-considered whether a ladder is the best tool for a- given job.

Ladders are really only suitable:

 To enable a person to rise or descend from one working level to another.

 For one person at a time.
 Where the extra load due to materials or tools does not generally exceed
the carrying capacity of one man.
 Where use is likely to be short term, or intermittent only.
 Over moderate distances between levels and at modest heights.
 Where it can be deployed safely and made secure.

Ladders are not suitable for use as bridges over gaps or for bearing heavy loads or
even moderate loads over extended periods. They should not be used to provide
for frequent movement of sizable groups of workmen-such as shifts arriving for
work on sites.

Conventional portable ladders are versatile, general-purpose tools for varied use in
many different situations. Where access from one working level to another must
be provided for numbers of workmen, bulk materials, over an extended period, a
more permanent and specialized structure should be used to provide the
appropriate degree of safety.

25.3 Carrying Ladder

Light steps and single-section ladders can be carried unassisted, horizontally at

knee level.

It is far better for a ladder of any weight (say over 45 lb.) or length to be carried
by two or more men. Particular care should be taken in public places. Pedestrians
do not normally expect the end of a ladder to appear suddenly from a doorway or
around a corner. A polite shouted warning may alert pedestrians who are unaware
of the ladder. Special care should be taken crossing roads. When transporting a
ladder on a vehicle over hangs should not exceed 4 ft and must be marked by
clearly distinguishable warning flags secured to the ends. Red colored flags should
be used for this purpose.

A ladder should never be carried vertically where there is a chance that if it fell,
serious injury or damage could result to people or property; the balance is easily
lost and once lost cannot be regained.

25.4 Placing the Ladder

Safe use of ladders depends heavily on correct placement, especially as a ladder is

most likely to slip when the weight on it is near the top.

Workers should observe the following practices when placing ladders:

a. Place a ladder so that the horizontal distance from the base to the vertical
plane of the support is approximately one fourth the ladder length between
supports i.e., the ladder should be inclined at about 75 degrees to the
horizontal.
b. The top of the ladder must be placed at a firm surface not on something which
might give way or cause the top to slip sideways. Gutters, window sashes,
doors, unsecured planks, bales or cartons on shelves are all unsafe as resting
points.
c. Ladders used to reach a walking surface or roof must extend at least 36" (92
cm) above the landing so as to provide a hand-hold, unless other suitable hand
holds are available.
d. Never place a ladder in front of a door that opens toward the ladder unless the
door is locked, blocked or guarded.
e. Do not place a ladder close to electric wiring or against any operational piping
(where damage may be done) or moving machinery.
f. Place a portable ladder so that both side rails have secure footing. Provide
solid footing on soft ground to prevent the ladder from sinking.
g. The ladder feet should be placed on a substantial and level base, not on
movable objects.
h. The ladder should be placed so that it does not lean sideways
i. When used with scaffolding it can be leaned against a truss and tied in.

25.5 Securing a Ladder

a. The security of a ladder depends on correct placing and effective securing

precautions.
b. For short ladders and short periods a man standing at the foot of a ladder is
acceptable as a minimum precaution. However, the surest way of preventing
foot movement is to apply a lashing.
c. A top lashing to both stills is better as this also prevents side movements. This
is particularly so for ladders over 20 feet long where it becomes difficult to
control sideways movement.
d. Ladders must never be secured by their rungs.
e. Secure both bottom and top to prevent displacement when using a ladder for
access to a scaffold.
f. It is good to have a length (approximately 5 feet) of suitable synthetic rope
permanently clipped or spliced to a stile near each end of a ladder.
25.6 Ascending or Descending Ladders

Everybody should observe the following practices when ascending or descending

ladders:

a. Everyone should be aware of his own height limitations and those who are
subject to giddiness or severe loss of confidence at heights should keep away
from ladders.
b. Never climb a ladder without first looking it over to make sure it is safe.
c. Any loose tools or implements propped against the base of the ladder should
be removed.
d. Ladder should be clean and free from dirt and grease.
e. The climber's boots or shoes should be scraped clean (not on the rungs) and
their grip tested on a low rung.
f. The climber should face the ladder squarely when ascending or descending.
g. Both hands should be used to grasp rungs or stiles, so that in the event of a
missed footing, recovery is possible. Feet should be firmly placed well into the
rungs.
h. Light tools may be carried on a tool belt or in a shoulder bag. Heavier tools
and materials hoisted afterwards on a hand line provided a platform is
available for them at working level. Heavy materials are best hoisted using a
rope and gin wheel, or other mechanical lift, separate from the ladder.
i. Eyes should be directed at the working level or above and the temptation to
look downwards should be resisted.
j. Do not climb higher than third rung from the top on straight or extension
ladders or the second tread from the top on stepladders.
k. Never slide down a ladder.

25.7 Working From a Ladder

a. Work that can be done in reasonable safety from ladders is light and of short
duration. At high working levels safety harness should be worn.
b. A workman should reach only as far as he can extend his arm and should not
lean out to one side or backwards. Over reaching leading to over-balancing, is
a common cause of accidents.
c. A workman should not attempt to straddle from the ladder to a nearby
foothold. Nor should he 'push' in the course of his work in any way, which will
tend to move the ladder outwards, unless it is secured.
d. The workman should always remember people or property below and guard
against dropping tools or debris.
e. Spread the feet, bearing outwards against the stiles, in order to obtain best
foothold and stability.
f. Whenever possible place steps at right angles to the work so as to reduce the
chance of a sideways push upsetting them.

25.8 Other Recommended Practices

a. Do not use make shift ladders, such as cleats fastened across a single rail.
b. Be sure that a stepladder is fully open and the metal spreader locked before
starting to climb it.
c. Never use a defective ladder,
d. Do not splice or lash short ladders together. They are designed for use in their
original lengths.
e. Ladders shall not be used as guys, braces, or skids or for other than their
 intended purposes.
f. The user when standing at the base of the ladder should only make adjustment
of extension ladders. Never attempt adjustment while user is standing on the
ladder.
g. Keep ladders clean and free from dirt and grease.
h. Check the condition of a ladder that has been dropped or has fallen before it is
used again.

25.9 Storage of Ladders

a. Ladders should be stored where they will not be exposed to the elements.
b. Ladders should be supported horizontally clear of the ground on adequate
number of supports. The preferred storage is on edge on one stile, in racks or
on blocks. Failing this, the ladder can be hung with enough supports to prevent
sagging or warping.
c. The storage racks should be under cover. In the absence of dry indoor storage
or complete cover, ladders should be stored in a sheltered position.
d. Wooden ladders should be stored in a well-ventilated place away from
radiators or hot pipes, which could promote warping.
e. Aluminum alloy ladders should be kept away from wet lime or which can
cause corrosion.

25.10 Maintenance and Repair

a. Repairs should be carried out by skilled personnel only and if it is not possible
to repair a ladder properly it should be scrapped.
b. The efficiency and safety of a ladder depends largely on the stiffness of the
joints between the stiles and rungs and any repairs should ensure that this
stiffness is maintained.
c. Ladders should never be painted but preservation can be obtained by applying
clear varnish or a clear rot-inhibiting compound.
d. Any decayed wood should be removed, which may then mean scrapping the
ladder or shortening it.
e. The cords and hinges of stepladders are vulnerable and sometimes need
replacing.
f. On extension ladders, pulleys, ropes and metal parts may need replacing.
Pulleys should be lubricated regularly.
g. Latching hooks should be correctly aligned and free of stress cracks, any
suspect assembly being replaced.

25.11 Extension Ladders

This type of ladder is useful where storage, access or deployment space is too
limited for a long single section ladder.
Extension is carried out in one of the two main ways:

a. Push-Up Type

With the shorter types, mainly in two sections, extension is achieved by pushing
up the top section, which is then held in position by fixed or swiveling latching
hooks. These may be equipped with a safety lock.

b. Rope-and-Pulley Operated
Longer multistage ladders are extended with the aid of a rope and pulley
mechanism while the ladder is being extended. The rope must have a breaking
strength of not less than 560 pounds (254 kg) and must be of sufficient length for
the purpose intended.

25.12 Non Slip Bases

It is recommended that all ladders be equipped with slip-resistant bases. Slip-

resistant bases are not intended as a substitute for care in placing, lashing, or
holding a ladder that is being used.

25.13 Fixed Ladders

Fixed ladders may be the only means of access to roofs, pits, silos, towers,
chimneys, tanks, and other limited access areas where the installation of stairs is
not feasible.

A fixed ladder may consist of individual rungs, each of which is attached to the
structure. Another common type of ladder has rungs or cleats secured inside rails
of metal and attached, in full length or sections, by fastening devices from the side
rails to the structure e.g. towers and elevated tanks. Ladders with a length of climb
of more than 20 feet must have a cage. The cage must start seven to eight feet
above the ground or the platform landing where the ladder begins.

Some individuals experience a feeling of instability or panic when climbing

ladders and may become dizzy. Some others become frightened and may cling to
the ladder without making any effort to climb further or to depend. Person with
such tendencies must not use fled ladder. Ladder users should be physically
capable of the excretion required.

Continued safe use of fixed ladders is a two-hand job and requires proper
climbing practices at all times. All fixed ladder users must:

a. Report any defects-or deterioration promptly to their supervisors.

b. Check ladder for defects and slippery substances i.e., mud, grease, oil, etc.
c. Never carry tools or materials by hand while climbing; attain the work
position, and raise or lower needed tools and materials by using a handline;
small tools may be carried in a tool pouch.
d. Face the ladder and use both hands to grip throngs or side rails firmly.
e. Place feet firmly on each rung before transferring the full weight of body to
each foot.
f. Climb deliberately without haste; never run up or down a ladder, and never
slide down a ladder.
g. Never jump from a ladder.
h. Keep the ladder clean.
Section 26.0
SCAFFOLDING

All scaffolding installations, use, and dismantling should conform to the approved
standards and requirements by OSHA, the Saudi Aramco Scaffold Safety
Handbook and other approved standards.

During erection or dismantling, Qualified Scaffolding Supervisor must be present

to supervise the activity. All scaffold structures shall bear the safe tag, upon being
approved for use by a certified Scaffold Inspector.
Section 27.0
CRANES AND RIGGING EQUIPMENT

All cranes and lifting equipment, including hired cranes shall comply with
applicable procedures on safe cranes and lifting.

27.1 General Safety Guidelines

a. Crane operator shall possess a valid Saudi Govt. (SAG) license and must have
been trained for the equipment he is operating.
b. Crane shall be operated only on a firm and level ground, and mats shall be
used as necessary.
c. The crane operator shall act on the signals of one man only. The signaler shall
be- easily recognized and use the approved standard signals.
d. The swing radius of all cranes shall be barricaded to prevent persons from
entering this area.
e. The load on a crane shall never exceed the safe working load (SWL) specified
by the manufacturer of the crane.
f. The load shall be free to move before lifting and will be kept clear of all
obstructions.
g. It shall be made sure that there are no loose tools or materials riding on the
load.
h. It shall be ensured that chains, hooks, slings, cables and ropes are strong
enough to cany the load. Splicing or shortening chains with bolts, knots, or
with any other means will not be allowed.
i. Packing or padding shall be used to protect slings and wire ropes from damage
by sharp edges.
j. Loads should be lifted vertically; the load should never be dragged or pulled
sideways.
k. Suitable tag lines should be used to control all loads.
1. Before lifting, the load should be "floated few inches above the ground to
ensure that the rigging is satisfactory and to check the stability of the crane.
m. Crane outriggers should be fully extended and heavy wooden mats or metal
sheets shall be installed under outrigger floats to spread the load where ground
condition is unstable or suspicious.
n. Operator should not be allowed to leave the controls of the crane while a load
is suspended.
o. All cranes should be inspected prior to use. All deficiencies should be
corrected before the equipment will be used.
p. Damaged and worn lifting tackles, hooks, rings, eye bolts, chains, and wire or
fiber ropes and slings shall be immediately removed from service.
q. Crane hooks should be fitted with spring loaded safety latches.
r. All limit switches fitted for the safe operation of crane or hoist should be in
good working order.
s. Where men have to be lifted by crane, an approved man lift cradle or basket
shall be used. Tagline should be used to control movement of cradle.
t. Personnel riding in the lifting cradle should tie off their safety belts or harness
to an independent lifeline tied to the hook block.
u. A crane should not be maneuvered on site without an attendant whenever the
operator's line of vision is obstructed.
v. A multipurpose portable fire extinguisher should be placed in the cab of each
crane.
27.2 Heavy Lifting

Heavy lifts and or critical lifts will be carried out with a duly prepared and
approved rigging plan and shall ensure that the actual lifting is being carried out
according to the plan. The lifting plan shall consist of relevant drawings,
illustrating positioning of cranes, details of rigging equipment, tackles, load, boom
length, operating radius, ground condition and other relevant data necessary for a
safe lifting.

All heavy lifting plans shall meet the approval of Owner/Contractor

representatives.
Section 28.0
MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

and shall meet the approval of Owner/Contractor representative as to its safe
operability prior to acceptance.
Section 29.0
EXCAVATIONS

All site excavations and trenches shall be accomplished in accordance with the
OSHA 29 CFR 1926 or any approved and applicable industry standards in
excavation.

29.1 Safety Measures

a. A work permit must be obtained from the appropriate supervisor before

excavation work is started in any place where the presence of obstructions is
known or suspected.
b. Whenever the presence of underground pipes, cables, vessels on.structures is
known or suspected, mechanical excavators shall not be used until all such
obstructions have been exposed by hand digging. Mechanical excavators shall
not be used within 10 ft. of any such obstruction.
c. Contents of buried tanks and piping should be indicated on the location
markings. If the contents are flammable or toxic, proper protective equipment
should be readily available in case of rupture.
d. Whenever an excavation must be made within or adjacent to a building and
lower than wall or column footings and machinery or equipment foundations,
a thorough study should be done to determine the amount and strength of
shoring required before work on excavation is begun.
e. As soon as excavation reaches a depth, where men working in it would
possibly be buried or trapped in the event of a collapse of the sides, suitable
shoring shall be installed or the sides sloped back to a safe angle. The safe
alternative trenching techniques is battering the sides, i.e. cutting the sides of
the excavation back from the vertical to such a degree that fall of earth is
prevented.
f. All materials used for shoring must be inspected before use and any material
found defective must not be used. Timbering and sheeting must only be
erected, altered or dismantled under competent supervision and whenever
practicable by experienced operatives. All timbering and sheeting must be
properly constructed and maintained in good order. If there is risk of flooding
in any excavation, ladders or other means of escape must be provided.
g. Where any existing building or structure, trees or utility poles is likely to be
affected by excavation work in the vicinity, shoring or other support must be
 provided to prevent collapse of the building or structure.
h. As the width of the trench increases, the cross braces or struts must be
increased in cross section to maintain the necessary rigidity.
I. Safe access must be provided into all excavations by means of ladders, stairs
or ramps. Ladders should be placed at an angle of 75 degrees, extending at
least 3 ft. above the stepping off point, and of more than 10 ft. in length, be
securely fixed.
j. Close planked bridges or walkways with standard guardrails shall be provided
over the excavations or trenches.
k. Excavations, shafts or pits near which men work or pass-must be protected at
the edge by guardrails or barriers or must be securely covered. Guardrails,
barriers or covers may be temporarily moved for access or for movement of
plant or materials but must be replaced as quickly as possible. Notices and
warning lights will also be required if the excavations are accessible to the
public.
1. Men shall not be permitted to work in any place where they could be struck by
any part of a mechanical excavator.
m. On sites where mobile machinery such as tippers, diggers, rough terrain
trucks, etc., are used, the operators should be fully aware of the stability of
their machinery and of the maximum slope on which they can be safely used.
Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the ground and whether
it is capable of bearing the vehicle weight.
n. Where spoil is removed by machine, special precautions are necessary. The
machine should be kept level to prevent undercutting the trench walls. Shoring
should be kept as close as practicable to the machine, and it should be
accessible. If the set up is improperly arranged, the hoist or bucket may strike
the bracing and result in damage. In mechanically excavated trenches, all
connections should be bolted.
o. The excavated materials should be placed or retained at least 2 feet or more
from the edge of the excavations in order to provide a safe footing at the edge
and to prevent the materials falling into the excavation.
p. All parts of an excavation including the shoring shall be inspected everyday to
ensure that there is no danger of collapse.
q. Where an internal combustion engine is used in an excavation, special
precautions must be taken to ensure that exhaust gases are discharged so as not
to be a hazard to men working in the excavation.
r. When dismantling shoring, cross bracing should be removed cautiously, and
back fill kept as close to the dismantling operation as possible. Dismantling
should be done more systematically from the bottom upward, either by having
braces pulled out from above with lifting tackle or by introducing screw jacks
or hydraulic jacks that will take up the strain of wedged timber cross braces,
making removal easy.
s. The strain on the jacks should then be released very slowly, taking into
account the condition of the sidewalls (back filling should carefully follow the
removal of shoring).

29.2 Personal Protection

a. Workmen should not work too closely together, in order to minimize the danger
of being struck by tools or materials being handled by other men. A 12-foot
spacing is recommended.
b. Workers should wear helmets, protective footwear and other required personal
protective devices.
29.3 Risks of Toxic and Flammable Gases

The risks of flammable, toxic and asphyxiating gases from various sources
entering and accumulating in excavations need to be assessed. LPG and acetylene
could enter from cutting, welding or heating equipment used in or near an
excavation. Carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and occasionally methane are
sometimes found in the ground or in underground water and seep into an
excavation.
The atmosphere in the excavation must be gas-tested prior to start of the work and
at regular intervals as required.

Adequate ventilation must be maintained to keep the atmosphere well below toxic
or explosive concentrations. The oxygen content must be maintained between
19% and 2 1%.

29.4 Formwork

All formworks shall meet the approval of Owner/Contractor representatives

especially when using timber support structure.

29.5 Rebar Caps

The requirement to provide protected cover of all protruding rebar, whether

horizontal or vertical or stakes shall be observed at site using the approved rebar
caps or any acceptable alternatives.
Section 30.0
HOUSEKEEPING

Site housekeeping shall be maintained by proper collection and disposal of

construction debris and other wastes materials on regular basis.

a. Working areas, passageways, stairways or platform shall be kept free of

unnecessary- materials and debris. Small tools, nuts and bolts, fittings or any
other similar loose materials will be kept in suitable containers.
b. Electrical cables and welding hoses shall be arranged so they could not cause
tripping hazards. They shall be thoroughly inspected on a regular basis for
wear and tear.
c. Personal equipment and belongings will be stored neatly in a proper bin or
shelf.
d. Spilled liquids will be cleaned up immediately.
e. Employees will be instructed to deposit all trash, scrap and rubbish materials
in the trash containers. Closed bins for waste food will be placed on specific
designated location. Oily wastes or rags will be disposed in separate covered
metal containers.
f. Nails in scrap lumbers will be pulled out or bent over. Usable materials will be
stored in a designated location and scrap items shall be disposed off site.
g. Toilets, washing facilities and drinking water facilities will be maintained in a
clean, neat and sanitary condition.
h. Open holes and gaps into which persons could fall shall be fenced off or
securely covered.
i. No excess materials will be kept at work places that could distract free
movements of personnel and equipment.
g. Waste oils will not be discharged unto the ground but shall be removed from
the site. Solid waste and construction debris shall be disposed to a designated
 dumping area off site.
k. Each foreman or supervisor shall be responsible for housekeeping in the
respective work area.
