13.0- RISK ASSESSMENTS

14- HOT WORK PERMIT

15.0- HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

15.1: ELECTRICS:

The main dangers to be prevented from electrical work are the risk of electric shock, fire, burns and
explosions. Risk of shock can come from voltages in excess of 50V ac and 120V dc. The electrical current is
dangerous, not the applied voltage and even a small shock can prove dangerous if received by a person working at
height or operating plant and equipment as any loss of control in these situations could lead to more significant
accidents

Procedures and basic operating principles for safely working with electricity are listed below for
consideration when identifying and controlling project specific electrical risk.

 Whenever possible work carried out on electrical equipment, plant and wiring systems should be
done with power shut off. Where work has to be carried out on live electrical systems with high
voltages then only trained, experienced, competent personal with specific task safety procures in
place should execute the works.

 Local, Government, State or Supply Company electrical supply boards, lines, plant and
equipment should not be tampered with. Only the relevant authorised electrical supply authority
employees should carryout work in this area.

 To assist in preventing danger, carefully planning the electrical works before it starts is essential.
This can be done using a task analysis or method statement and is particularly important when
carryout infrequently performed tasks.

 All electrical isolation work should be carried out by an authorised person. This can be complex
depending on the specific electrical system and may require numerous isolation actions.
Confirmatory voltage detection tests should be carried out on the system to ensure that the system
is safe to work on. A “Warning” notice system should be used to ensure the electrical system is not
reactivated by other parties while being worked on.

 Voltage detection testing needs to be performed in a safe manner. Make sure there is adequate
space, sufficient lighting, secure footing for the worker, the space is clear of explosive gases or
vapours, no signs of overheating or fault of the lines and equipment. The use of “homemade” testing
equipment (i.e. lamps and neon testers) is forbidden. Testing equipment should be regularly
checked.

 All electrical equipment, tools, appliances, boards and leads require regular testing and inspection.
An inspection and testing schedule should be compiled for the specific project, recording inspection
dates and findings.
  As a guide generally portable hand held tools, extension leads, lighting and RCD’s should be
checked by the user daily and formally inspected and tested every 1 to 3 months. Electrical
distribution systems, installed plant and equipment, fixed lighting, lifts, hoists and the alike should be
checked before first use, then by the user weekly and formally inspected and tested every 3 months

 Working with Overhead Electrical Services

 Prior to any site occupation, all overhead electrical services should be identified in
conjunction with the Services Authority and an assessment made regarding interface/impact
of the services on the proposed project works. ]
 Treat all overhead cables as live.

 Consider diverting or isolating overhead services adjacent to the work area (work to be
carried out by the Services Authority). No work, office, storage or fabrication areas should
be located beneath or adjacent to overhead electrical services or within the vicinity of
temporary works like scaffold and carnage.
 Existing overhead lines may require protection and regular inspection throughout the
duration of the works on site. Electrical poles may have an earth mat below which may carry
current. Never disturb or damage the earth mats.

 Underground Electrical Services

 Prior to any site occupation, all underground electrical services should be identified
and marked in conjunction with the Services Authority.

 Permit system must be in place for excavation and digging works to ensure all
precautions are taken to ensure safe works.

 When digging assume all cables are live and if available use cable locators.

 Make sure exposed cables are protected and supported to protect from damage.

 When backfilling, ensure that marker tape or tiles are used to identify the cable location

 Temporary electrical installations should be designed, installed, commissioned, tested,

maintained and decommissioned by competent persons. All systems will include appropriate
Earthing and protection.

 Fire can result from the overloading, arcing or faulty conditions of electrical plant, equipment
and material. Non conducting carbon dioxide or dry powder fire extinguishers should be
provided at suitable locations.

15.2: FIRE SAFETY:

The risk of fire is a significant issue on construction sites, with fire potentially causing damage to
materials and property as well as serious injury and even death to workers.

It is important that all practicable steps are taken to prevent fire on site and that adequate detection and
prevention measures are devised, communicated and implemented on the project.

Procedures and basic operating principles for fire safety on site are listed below for consideration when
identifying and controlling project specific fire risk.

 The Hot Work permit should be in place for high fire risk activities the system allows the inherent
fire risk of the proposed activity to be specifically identified and appropriate controls and checks put
in place.
 Where possible consideration should be given to planning and executing the construction works in
a sequence that facilitates as early as possible the installation and operation of the permanent fire
protection elements of the project. Examples include installation of fire escape stairs, fire doors,
protective material to steel elements, lightning conductors, fire detection systems, water supply
and feed for hydrants, sprinklers, hose reels etc.

 Fire safety considerations relating to the projects temporary buildings include

 Where possible, temporary buildings and accommodation should be located away from
the main building works to provide a fire break

 Where temporary buildings have been constructed raised above the ground, the space
beneath should be enclosed to prevent the accumulation of rubbish and combustible
material

 Internal heating to temporary buildings must be installed properly and maintained. Gas
heating must be supported by adequate ventilation. Heaters should not be used for
drying clothes

 Fire detection and alarm systems should be installed in temporary accommodation,

especially in buildings used for cooking and drying

 Consider a no smoking policy

 Establish fire escape routes for temporary accommodation, include within the project
wide emergency/evacuation plan

 Provide adequate and suitable types of fire extinguishers

 Consideration should be given to the material composition of the temporary

accommodation in relation to fire resistance materials

 Consider security measures and requirements to minimise the risk of arson. Measures
could include hoarding and fencing off of the site, security guards, illumination of the site
after hours, security cameras etc

 On very large projects with high fire risk elements, it may be appropriate to appoint a fire
safety coordinator (part/full time) to assist in fire prevention duties

 Contact and liaison with the local emergency fire services (where they exist) at the start of the
project is important, discussing fire services access, emergency escape routes, positions of dry and
wet risers, location of temporary buildings, storage of hazardous items etc

 An appropriate means of alarm/warning of fire must be established on the project. Clear access
and egress to and from the site and buildings must be maintained at all times.

 Fire extinguishers, hose reels, hydrants and other fire protection equipment should be located
in conspicuous locations, well labelled and regularly inspected and maintained

 Mechanical plant and vehicles on site should be equipped with suitable fire extinguishers. Vehicles
should be refuelled in the designated areas with engines switched off. Exhaust pipes and gases
must be kept clear of combustible materials.

 Remove waste and rubbish from site regularly. Prohibit fires on site

 All electrical supply installations, both permanent and temporary must be installed by competent
and qualified electricians. Do not overload electrical sockets

 All gas, LPG and flammable liquids must be stored in secured areas/compounds, well
 ventilated, shaded and secure. The area should be well signed and “no smoking” signage very
important. Storage of highly flammable liquids should be kept to a minimum

15.3 NOISE:

Noise induced hearing loss is a common health hazard on construction sites.

It is important that all practicable steps are taken to prevent excessive noise on site and that adequate
prevention measures are devised, communicated and implemented on the project.

 Hearing protection must be worn when working in and around excessive noise. If you have to raise
your voice to be heard at 1 metre distance, then the noise level is excessive (80 decibels and
above)
 Wherever possible review loud noise activities and adopt less noisy processes or
introduce plant/equipment that are a quieter option.

 Keep all equipment, plant and machinery covers, casings and housing fixed and closed when
in operation.

 Where possible baffles, covers and noise suppressants should be used on noisy equipment.

 Do not keep noisy machinery, plant or equipment running unnecessarily.

 Where possible locate noisy plant, equipment and machinery away from general working areas
to reduce the number of people exposed to the excessive noise generated.

 Consideration should be given to shielding noisy work activities and equipment in and behind
sound absorbing structures and materials

15.4: UNDER GROUND SERVICES:

Underground Services present significant safety issues. Damage to electrical cables can cause explosive
effects of arching current and flashes leading to severe burns or even death. Gas leaks can cause fire or
explosions. Damage to water/sewerage pipe work and cabling can cause significant material and consequential
loss.

Damage can be caused by excavation or tasks which penetrate the ground such as jack hammering,
driving in poles, stakes and pins, piling and the alike.

Procedures and basic principles for safely working with underground services are listed below for
consideration when identifying and controlling project specific risk.

 All interface activities on site with underground services should be controlled by the work Permit
system Key safety issues relating to the inherent risk involved in excavation (underground services)
are identified in the Permit system and appropriate controls and protection measures will be
required to be put in place before works are carried out.

 Treat all services as live, despite location, appearance and physical condition. Always check
and reconfirm the actual service you are dealing with, people do mistake one service for
another.

 Make sure there are plans of the underground services, seen and studied before any work carried
 out. Mark all positions of the cables and pipes using paint or other waterproof markings on the
ground. Use cable and pipe locator to trace electricity cables and metal types.

 Service Provider should be contacted for information on location of all underground services.

 Look for surface signs of services present, example gas meters, service connections
into property/building locations or public services.

 Hand dig trail holes as required to confirm location of services in the work area (spades and
shovels are safer than picks or forks)

 Watch out for signs of services while work continues, carry out repeated locator checks.

 Backfill around services with fine material and lay warning tiles/tape as required, backfill
method should be agreed by Services provider where applicable.

 Do not attempt repairs on damaged services, seek trade specific professional assistance.

 Do not use hand-held power tools directly over or alongside main electrical cables.
 Do not use exposed services as a convenient step, handhold or shelf within the excavation.

 Do not handle or attempt to alter the position of an exposed service.

 Do not install plant close to an existing service, or build them into a manhole or other structure.

 Protect an existing service that will remain open for some time, with ether timber, sandbags etc.

 Services spanning across and excavation should be well supported.

 Note and record on as-built drawings any additional or out of location services discovered.

15.5: WORKING AT HEIGHT:

Falls from height are the largest single cause of serious injuries and deaths in infrastructure/construction.
Working at height must be treated as a high risk activity for those at height and those working below

Planning is vital before you begin working at height. Anywhere you are at risk from a fall then a hazard and
risk identification should be carried out

GENERAL ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS:

ENSURE SAFE ACCESS AND EGRESS TO WORK FACE17

 Installation of guardrails to perimeters and penetrations

 Use of setting up fall protection barriers (safety mesh and edge protection)

 Consider the risks involved from objects falling from above

 Review and implement suitable means to prevent fall

 Walking and working surfaces are strong enough to support workers

 Do some areas require isolation and barricading

 SAFE LADDER USE:

 Extended use of ladders in lieu of working platforms is prohibited.

 Check equipment before use, no splits or cracks in stiles and rungs, none missing or loose

 Remove defective ladders from site

 Do not position ladder in the place where it can be struck by passing vehicle or where it
can be knocked by a door or window,

 Ladders should only be used when other platforms have been explored but not able to
be used. Work on ladders should only be used in short durations

 Ladders need to be set on a firm base and leaning at the correct angle. One (out) to Four
(up) ratio acceptable
 Ladders should be tied at the top and extend a safe distance (1 m or 3 rungs) above
the landing height

 The base of the ladder should be staked to prevent slipping

 Clean footwear from excessive mud/soil before climbing the ladder

 Always face the ladder when climbing; always have three points of contact on the ladder at
all times

 Do not over reach from the ladder; always move the ladder to the new work face

 As much as possible avoid carrying out loads up ladders – hoist it up.

 For step ladders: all four feet must be in contact with the ground, rungs shall be facing
the work activity, never work higher than three steps down from the top of the ladder

Use of Harnesses Safely:

 Harnesses should only be considered as a last option after platforms, mobile

towers, scaffolding, and where no other fall restraint is available

 Harness equipment must be fully inspected before use. Include wedding, leather, checking
for cuts, cracks, tears, tears, abrasions and damage. Check hooks and karabiners and all
stitching

 Wet equipment and harnesses should be hung to dry naturally

 Confirm a firm and secure anchorage points and lines (best above head height). All
anchorages should be installed by a competent person, design by an Engineer and
checked

 Do not tie, loop or place the harness lanyard near small or sharp items during use, this
could mean the lanyard fails in the event of a fall situation

 Users should be trained in harness use by a competent person

 Never work alone while using a harness, if you fall you may need assistance to be rescued

 Have established rescue/emergency procedures in place

Mechanical Elevated Work Platforms (scissor hoists, cherry pickers, crane baskets:

 Checked the machine is the correct type for the task intended

 Trained operators are required for the machinery in use

 Do not use the machine as a crane or have it overloaded

 The machine requires regular inspection and testing, check before use

 Ensure the machine is set up on firm ground with all support legs fully extended
where applicable

 Operate well away from overhead services

 Workers on platforms are to wear harnesses

 Ensure the lanyard is just long enough to provide free movement within the confines of
the platform

 Do not allow material waste and rubbish to build up on platform

 Ensure tools are secured to the working platform

General

 All ladders/trestle should be individually tagged.

 Ladders/Trestle must be stored correctly.

 Ladders must not be painted - paint can hide damaged parts.

 Any defected Ladders / Trestle’s should be removed from site immediately.

 Ladders/trestles shall be weekly inspected and record of the inspections shall be kept on site
