2. All workers shall be properly inducted and undergone required training prior to work
commencement.
3. Where necessary, noise barrier will be installed around the pipe jointing area to
minimize the construction noise.
4. All works carried out shall be normal working hours (between 0800-1700hrs) on
weekdays, and may be further worked around park operations in order to avoid
disruptions. Where works are required to be carried out during the night (e.g

8. Food shall not be consumed on site, but only at designated rest area (with
designated bins for proper disposal of food waste).
9. All food waste shall be contained in plastic bags before disposal into wildlife-proof
bins. They should be removed daily to prevent attraction of pests and smell
nuisance.
10. All workers and visitors shall be educated to ensure that all workplaces are kept
