1.4 Full Description of Scope / Methodology / Sequence of Works

1.4.1 Scope:
This Risk Assessment & Method Statement details the process of the Temporary Cable pulling and
termination to the Landlord SMDB This procedure follows the approved drawings/instruction from IMDAAD,
materials and the associated quality and safety procedure compliance.

1.4.2 Methodology and Sequence of Works:

SITE PREPARATION
 All safety permits shall be obtained before the commencement of any works.
 All workers or site staff shall undergo must undergo daily safety toolbox talk and risk briefing
prior to the initiation of any site activity.
 Material shifting shall be done with sufficient manpower and in compliance safe lifting
procedure.
 Dilapidation report citing the site conditions and the condition of existing MEP services shall be
submitted in advance to ISG.
 It shall be ensured that the source of Electricity, Water and drainage is approved by the
Landlord prior to commencement of connection to the existing services.
 The Supervising Engineer / Supervisor / Team leaders shall confirm that all necessary
documentation is in place to proceed with the works.
 Site works shall proceed only after the receipt of instruction from the Site Engineer/Project
Manager after ensuring compliance to the project specific requirements.
 After the civil clearance advice to proceed with MEP installations, ensure that area is clean and
ready to commence the work.
 Contractor shall ensure that the materials are free of any damage or deformity of any kind.

General Procedure for equipment’s used for working at height.

 For working at height EMKAY shall use movable aluminium scaffolding or secured Aluminium
Podium ladders for which the general arrangement shall be as below:

Movable Aluminium Scaffolding Installation

Typical Aluminium Scaffolding Details:-
 EMKAY will use a trained scaffolder to carry out the installation and inspection of movable
aluminium scaffolding. Scaffolding shall be assembled in a level surface ensuring that the
wheels of the scaffolding are locked during the time of operation.
 Bottom left and right ring frames will be supported using ledgers and standard bracings.
 Further extension of the scaffolding shall be done by using sockets and lock pin systems as
per the site requirements.
 Working platform will be provided with toe board and guard rails. Access gates will be provided
for entry and exit in to working platform using ladders. No movement of scaffolding will be
allowed with personnel on top. While working at height above 3-meter, safety harness could be
worn as a good practice anchored to independent suitable anchorage if available.
The scaffolding will be erected, dismantled and inspected by competent personals according to
ISG and local authority guidelines.

Risk Assessment, Method Statement (RAMS)
Podium Ladder
 For light duty works low level works EMKAY shall utilise podium ladders
 Ladders shall be propped on level surfaces only. Aluminium or metal ladders shall not be used
near the live electrical services in areas exposed to chances of electrocution.

 EMKAY will ensure that ladder shall never be placed on a box, bricks or any other thing to
reach the height and that the podium ladders are fully opened and locked before use.
Swing guard is in close position when operatives on the podium working platform.
 Proper PPE to be used when working on the top of a ladder.
 Ladder inspection tags will be obtained from ISG after submitting ladder inspection report. For
 scaffolding inspection tags shall be provided by trained EMKAY employee. PASMA
Certificate of scaffolding inspector will be available at site.

METHOD OF INSTALLATION

Distributions Boards, Dressing & Termination

 Conduits and trunking shall connect to the Distributions Board by adaptors glands, after the
cables, wires are pulled to the DB, through the containment as per the drawings and load
schedules, Further the cables and wires dressed properly and terminated to the assigned
breakers.
 Individual circuit wires shall be then grouped properly, and neat dressing shall be done and
then terminated to a particular breaker using proper size Sleeve number ferules / lugs. Each
outgoing will be labelled to identify the circuit number.
 Distribution board serving the site temporary loads shall be connected to the spare breaker
facilitated by the Landlord as per the load demand.
 Necessary PTW and Isolations will be obtained prior to the connection to existing facility. All
energisations will be carried out in the presence of landlord representative.
 On receipt of confirmation from the landlord/main contractor on the feeding point, necessary
isolation permits will be obtained to connect to the existing LV network

Pulling of Cables & wires

 Obtain a valid access permit for the electrical room and electrical cabinet located in
Basement 2, basement 1, LG, L1 & L2 prior to start the cable pulling works.
 Extra care should be taken before pulling the wires and cables; testing will be carried out
before pulling the cable for damage of insulation, continuity of the conductor by Megger. Wires
shall be arranged according to the size and color mentioned in the load schedule for lighting
and power circuits. All wiring of multi-point circuits in a “loop-in” system, and do not use joints
or connections, other than those required for the connection of switches, fuses, socket outlets.

Risk Assessment, Method Statement (RAMS)
 Entire wire roll shall be kept in a safe stand to rotate as free. Wire size, color and quantity shall
be as per the load schedule and tie with insulation tape to the pulling spring and pull from the
other side. Technician will ensure the neutral wire should not come to the switch boxes. If any
difficulties found during pulling apply a small amount of lubricant to the wire. All the boxes and
points are wired with earth continuity conductor.
 A slack of at least 200mm of wire will be left at each outlet and 300 mm for lighting points
wherever there is no false ceiling, but inside DB the length is around 800 mm. Put proper
identification for the wires in DB for connection purposes and continuity testing.
 The cables and wires shall be in accordance with the approved load schedules and shop
drawings. During installation technician shall pull the cable from one side and push from other
side in a uniform manner until reach the destination.
 ECC (Earth Continuity Conductor) of green yellow color equal to half the size of phase
conductor shall be laid with the cable for size including and above 25 Sq.mm2 and of
same for cable equal and below 16 sq.mm.
 Leave around a length of 1 meter in DB’s and 2 meter in SMDB’s as loop when pulling the

 APPENDIX 3

Noise Assessment Multi Equipment

Guidelines:
 80dBA is the First Action Level – hearing protection should be offered.
 85dBA is the Second Action Level – hearing protection is mandatory.
 Before resorting straight to PPE, look at the organisation of the work and consider if the risk can be reduced any other way. For example by isolating the noisy work, reducing the number of people exposed, or
the length of time someone is working in the noisy environment
 Noise ratings can be determined using a sound level meter. Should you require a noise assessment, please contact the Health & Safety Dept.
 As a rough guide, if you have to raise your voice to be heard from 2 metres away, the noise will be approximately at the first action level. If you are raising your voice to be heard at 1 metre away from the
source, it is likely to be at the second level
 Don’t forget to take into account other persons working within the noisy area.
 Exposure limit values (ELV): These relate to personal exposure to noise and must not be exceeded, peak sound pressure of 140 dB.
