knowledge and experience in handling/ treating emergencies occurring due to any of the situations like
deep bleeding, snake bite, dog bite, high fever, heart attack, asthma, sun stroke, broken bones, etc with
the local health centre tie-up.
Administration In-charge shall establish tie up with local agencies for means of transporting persons in the
case of emergency. Administration In-charge shall circulate Contact Telephone numbers, mobile numbers
and addresses to all the section heads.
Administration In-charge/First-Aider shall maintain records on first-aid treatment cases.
During an emergency or crisis, the Administration In-charge shall arrange for vehicles/ and for treatment.
30.2. Emergency preparedness:
The basic and essential features of any emergency procedure are to analyses and plan for the potential
risk and preparedness. This includes:
 Establishing and maintaining effective communications.
 Liaison with local emergency services and health authorities.
 Procedure:
 First -Aid / Medical treatment
 Communications both within and outside the company.
 Evacuation
 Appointment of key personnel and specifying their duties and responsibility.
 Review and updating.
 The details including command levels will be provided in ERP, which is a separate
procedure.
Administration In-charge gives instructions to the staff / workmen regarding the action required for the
emergency cases like major or minor.
Major:
The First-aider assesses the situation and informs Administration In-charge about the requirement of the
ambulance services. Administration In-charge calls ambulance. In case of a life-threatening situation, the
accident is taken to the hospital by the site/ labor colony emergency vehicle.
Minor:
The affected person will be taken to the First -Aid center for treatment.
30.3. FACILITES AVAILABLE WITH Bridge and Roads SITE
a. Administration of First Aid:
Site Head shall make a list of First-Aid Trained personnel available at a workplace and circulate the same
among all concerned for easy identification of those whose services may be required in this regard.
i. Administration In-charge shall provide First-Aid Boxes at convenient locations.
ii. Site EHS Head checks all the First-Aid kits for availability of the medicines in required quantity and
informs Administration In-charge for the purchase of medicines, if required.
iii. In case of an injury the concerned Site Engineer sends the injured person requiring first-aid treatment
with a request memo to First-aider mentioning the personal details of the injured person.
iv. First-Aider maintains a medical log for recording the details of first aid treatment. The record shall
contain names of the injured person/patient with a brief description of the accident/ disease. Site Head
shall check the First-Aid Register on weekly basis
b. Bleeding:
Bleeding is best controlled by direct pressure applied to the wound with sterile dressing or any cloth
keeping the victim in lying position. It can be completely controlled by applying finger pressure against the
artery which supplied the blood, taking care that blood supply is not totally stopped to the extremities/
vital organs for unduly long period.

c. Artificial respiration:
In case of electric shock, drowning, gas poisoning, suffocation etc. where breathing has stopped,
immediate action is necessary. Artificial respiration should be started without any time loss. It should be
continued till the victim starts breathing or he is brought to the doctor.
d. Fracture:
In case of visible fracture and even a suspect fracture, the adjacent joints should be immobilized. If the
fracture accompanied by bleeding, it should be controlled as said earlier. While carrying the victim, care
should be taken not to disturb the fractured bone.
e. Heat stroke and heat exhaustion:
It should be familiarized with the symptoms and treatment for those hot weather dangers, heat strokes &
heat exhaustion.
Any time the temperature rises above 1060 F, the danger exists that person exposed to the direct sun may
be affected with heat exhaustion or heat stroke. It is important to know the symptoms and emergency
treatment of these two different types of illnesses.
f. Heat stroke:
The heatstroke often appears quite suddenly and is characterized by collapse, delirium or coma. Certain
characteristics include diminished, sweating, dry hot skin and flushed face, rapid pulse, headaches,
dizziness and irritability, nausea and vomiting, extra high body temperature and an extremely rapid pulse.
The heat stroke victim should be taken to a hospital or doctor immediately. Attempts also should be made
to lower the body temperature. Removing all the patients’ clothes except for shorts can do this and
sprinkling his entire body with water evaporates more rapidly and produces a better cooling effect.
During transportation, windows should be left open so that air passing over the patient body will
evaporate the water.
The patient’s arms, legs and truck should be rubbed briskly to increase circulation to the skin. If ice is
available, an ice bag or towel wrung out in ice water should be applied to the head.
g. Heat exhaustion:
The symptoms of the slightly less serious heat exhaustion are different from heat stroke. In that the
patient’s skin normally is cold, clammy, and covered with perspiration instead of hot and dry. The face is
pale other symptom include a headache, loss of appetite, drowsiness, cramps of the limbs and abdominal
muscles faintness of unconsciousness. The pupils of the eyes sometimes are dilated. To treat heat
exhaustion, move the patient to a cool place where he may rest and keep him lying down with head level
low. If you have salt available, give him small amount mixed with water. It is not a bad idea to send the
patient to the doctor for check-up after he rests a few moments.

Fall from height

If a worker is involved in a fall that has been arrested, it is important to get them to a safe place as quickly as
possible without causing further injury or putting the rescuers at risk.
Some of the reasons why a suspended worker should be rescued quickly are listed below
 The worker may have been injured during the fall and may need medical attention.
 The worker may panic if they are left hanging for a long time.
 The event that led to the fall may have created additional dangers that need to be dealt with right
away.
 The worker may develop suspension trauma if they are hanging in a safety harness for too long.
Suspension trauma causes the blood to pool in the lower body, depriving the brain of oxygen.

If an elevating work platform (EWP) is available on site:

 Take it to where the suspended worker is.
 Make sure that rescue workers using the EWP are protected against falling.
 Be sure the EWP has the load capacity for both the rescuer(s) and the victim.
 Use the EWP to reach the suspended worker.
 Position the EWP platform below the worker.
 Disconnect the suspended worker from his or her lanyard or lifeline when it is safe to do so. If the
worker is unconscious or cannot help with the rescue, two rescuers may be needed to handle the
worker safely.
 Treat the worker for suspension trauma and any other injuries.
 Arrange to take the worker to the nearest hospital.
If an elevating work platform is not available:
 Where possible, use a ladder (or ladders) to reach the suspended worker.
 If the suspended worker is not in an area that rescuers can reach by ladders, move the suspended
worker by his or her lifeline to an area that can be safely reached by ladder (if possible).
  Rig a separate lifeline for each rescuer to use while carrying out the rescue.
 Position the ladder(s) so that the rescuers can get beneath the suspended worker.
 Securely attach a separate lowering line to the suspended worker’s harness.
 Rescuers on the ground lower the worker while the rescuers on the ladder(s) guide the worker. If
the suspended worker is unconscious or cannot help with his or her own rescue, two rescuers may
be needed to handle the worker.
 Once the worker has been taken to a safe location, administer first aid for suspension trauma and
any other injuries.
 Arrange to take the worker to the nearest hospital.

If the injured person is suspended near the work area and can be reached safely from the floor below or
from the place from which the worker fell:
 Make sure that all rescuers are protected against falling (such as by travel restraint or fall arrest).
 If possible, attach a second line securely to the worker’s harness to help pull him or her to a safe
place. At least two strong workers will probably be needed to pull someone up.
 Eliminate slack in the retrieving line to avoid slippage.
 Once the worker has been taken to a safe place, administer first aid for suspension trauma and
any other injuries.

Total / Maximum amount of excavated soil stored at site at any time also will be submitted later in
cubic meter (approx.).

Mitigation Measure
Excavated soil to be loaded covered & disposed of on a daily basis to an approved disposal facility.

Food & garbage waste

Mitigation measures
Food waste garbage will be collected in a bin and disposed of once in a day to the MCD dustbin.

Solid waste
Glass, plastic, paper, construction / demolition debris and other waste materials from the workshops can
contribute to soil & ground water contamination.
Mitigation measures
 Reduce – Recycle – Reuse,
 The solid waste can be segregated
 The hazardous waste from the workshop will be collected, stored, and disposed to
authorized agency.
Chemical & Chemical Wastes
 Material Safety Data sheet (MSDS) will be made available for all the chemicals
 The contents of the ‘MSDS’ will be explained to all concerned through STARRT.
 Chemical shall be dispensed ensuring no spillage to the ground or water.
 Periodic inspection will be conducted to identify any leakage and initiate corrective
 Action such as providing Semi-permeable on the ground.
 The Chemical waste shall be collected in corrosion resistant compatible
containers and disposed of at a frequent interval.
Oil & grease
Mitigation measures: -
The waste oil will be disposed of to an authorized agency approved by AP Control Committee (APCC) &
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Factors Involved in Management of Waste
The following factors play very important role in Management of waste: -

 Engineering controls such as proper planning, selection of right materials, proper usage
etc.
 Operation Control Procedures (OCP) will be implemented for different activities.
 Administrative control such as inventory control, selection of right materials etc.
 Adoption of reuse / re-cycle techniques if any.
 Identify designated storages for each type of waste.

The following method will be used for Collection & Disposal of waste generated at different locations of
the site.
 All the waste shall be collected in the dustbin provided at different locations at site.
 All the waste shall be segregated into Biodegradable and non-degradable (if not
 Reusable) wastes and shall be lifted by the local municipality on a regular basis.
 The muck/civil construction debris are disposed by us on regular intervals at
 Designated/approved dump yard.
 Metal scrap will be stored in a designated separate area.
 Waste oils/waste lubricants/spent oils/waste grease/paints and thinners will be collected
in separate labelled containers and sent to authorize agency.
Prevention of Water Pollution
1. Sub-Contractors should identify the sources of water used by the community, and should ensure the
continuous use of these water sources will not be disrupted by the work. For affected sources if any,
provide temporary alternative arrangements for supply water to affected parties.
2. The project activities Should be maintained in such a way that it shall not divert, close or block existing
canals or other water paths in a manner that adversely affect downstream users when working next to the
waterways.
3. Catch pits and perimeter channels (where necessary) should be constructed in advance of site
formation works and earthworks.
4. Erosion and sedimentation control measures should be inspected on the regular intervals of frequency
especially during rainfall.
5. The construction activities shall minimize wastage of water during the construction process and
operations by reusing water as much as possible, and by utilizing only the required amount of water for
the activities.
6. Extraction of water for the project purposes shall comply with the guidelines and instructions issued by
relevant authority. Water shall not be extracted from groundwater or from surface water-bodies without
permission from such Authorities.
7. Suitable local arrangement shall be made for Water Conservation & Waste / Storm Water Drainage
System.
8. Effluents shall be suitably disposed through sewage drainage system/ septic tank. Wherever required
Effluent treatment plants shall be installed.
9. Quality of the drinking water shall be periodically checked and maintained.

Prevention OF Air Pollution

1. Dust Control:
Dust generated by various construction site activities can make a significant contribution to local air
pollution. High levels of dust, combined with other outdoor air pollutants, can cause respiratory problems.
Inhaled particles may aggravate asthma and bronchitis, and very small particles may cause cancer.
EHS monitors visually the dust level in the working area / project site during the EHS Inspections. If the
dust level is found to be abnormal then initiates necessary action for dust suppression. Good site practices
are the major mitigation measures for prevention or minimization of air pollution from construction
activities. Measures shall include:
a. Effective water spays to be used to water exposed working areas that can generate dust.
b. Fine particle materials on site to be enclosed and covered.
c. Wheel washing facilities shall be installed and used by all vehicles leaving the site.
d. Concrete breaking, handling of debris and hauling process are main sources of dust from building
demolition.
e. All trucks transporting excavated soil subject to blowing or dust production, including sand and gravel,
must be always covered by full tarpaulins on roads and highways, and at speed over 30 Km/hr.
f. Limit vehicle speeds on sites and unpaved roads to 20 Km/Hr.
2. Emission Control:
a. The Stack Height of the Diesel Generator sets shall be as per Pollution Control Board Regulations.
b. All Batching Plants shall fulfil Air Quality requirements as per Pollution Control Board Regulations.
c. Maintain all construction equipment’s in proper working condition according to manufacturer’s
specifications. The equipment must be checked by a certified mechanic and determine to be running in
proper condition before it is operated.

Prevention of Noise
1. Only silent Diesel Generators shall be used to avoid noise pollution. It shall have acoustic enclosures.
2. Noise level survey shall be conducted periodically at critical locations like boundaries, interfere with
public and random locations within workplace.
3. Silent type Equipment’s shall be used to reduce noise impact as much as practically possible.

Conservation of Energy
1. Use Energy Efficient Appliances: Install Energy efficient appliances with Energy Star rating which
consumes less energy.
2. Use Maximum Daylight: Turn off lights during the day and use daylight as much as possible. This will
reduce the burden on the local power grid and save you good amount of money in the long run.
3. Using of LED lights and Renewable energy resources.
