8. SAFETY, HEALTH ANDENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

8.1 Safety Plan

Accordingly, this Method Statement is applicable to all divisions which include

in project organization performing safety/environment‐related works at the
business‐ performing stages, such as construction execution in relation to plant
projects (Steel plants, industrial plants, and environmental and energy
facilities), civil and environmental projects (Highway, tunnels, bridges, ports,
site preparation.

8.1.1. Safety Staff and Workmen

To reduce the risks to the health and safety of staff and workmen during the
construction works, the following are some of, but not limited to, the methods
by which the health and safety of staff and workmen can be protected:

(a) All access routes in and around the site should be properly
constructed and carefully planned with route identifiers and traffic
control measures such as speed limit, speed humps, flagman and
safety signage to guide drivers.
(b) All personnel shall receive and wear appropriate clothing and
Personal Protective Equipment to protect them at site.

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) provides for the allocation of

traffic control and information measures in response to a specific, pre‐
defined traffic scenario – such as the management of peak holiday traffic or
the closure of strategic route because of bad weather, maintenance, or a
serious road accident. The objective is to anticipate the arrangements for
controlling and guiding traffic flows in real‐time and for informing road‐
users about the traffic situation in a consistent and timely way

vehicles, equipment, and construction activities.
The following are some of, but not limited to, the methods by which noise levels
caneffectively be reduced.

(a) All plant and equipment to be maintained in good mechanical condition.

(b) All plant and equipment shall be fitted with silencing equipment that

complies with local legal requirements or as appropriate.

(c) Hoarding to be used to screen noisy activities.
(d) Restrictions on the working hours for some activities.
(e) Where possible, to use electrically driven equipment as opposed
to dieselor petrol driven equipment.
(f) Where possible, to use equipment which transmits sound
intermittently as opposed to equipment is transmits sound
regularly.
(g) Where possible, to use bored piles rather than percussive.
(h) Personnel at site working near high sound level equipment and vehicle is
mandated to wear hearing protection such as ear plug, earmuff, or ear canal

8.3.2. Environmental Pollution and Control

The main elements to be affected by environmental pollution are water and air
with the major source of pollution coming from construction vehicles,
equipment, and construction activities.
The following are some of, but not limited to, the methods by which air and water
pollution can be reduced:

(a) All plant and equipment with petrol or diesel engines shall be equipped
with such omission control devices that comply with the local legal
requirementson omission control.
(b) All unwanted waste material and rubbish arising from site operations
shall be collected in bulk bins and regularly be disposed of at approved
dumpsites.
(c) All site effluent and wastewater arising from site operations shall be
disposed of by means of a temporary site drainage system installed
with the necessary grease, silt traps and sedimentation tanks in
accordance with local authority requirements before final discharge.
(d) Where practicable, site haul roads will be hard surfaced to eliminate
dust generation, failing which they will be sprayed with water to
reduce dust.
(e) A paved wash bay shall be provided for washing vehicles before they
leave the site.
Silt traps will be provided before final discharge into suitable outlets.
(f) Protect site stockpiles from wind action by means of covers and water
dampening.
(g) Pay special attention to minimize cement dust at bulk storage sites,
batching plant, weigh hoppers and conveyor belts.

8.3.3. General Public Inconvenience

The main causes of inconvenience to the public emanating from construction
 (Client Logo) Project Name (Company Logo)

(Project Number) Method Statement-Earth Works (Document Number)

vehicles, equipment and construction activities can be identified as.

- injury
- excessive noise levels
- disruption to pedestrian and vehicular traffic
- damage to surrounding structures
- disease

The following are some of, but not limited to, the methods by which inconvenience
to the public from construction activities can be minimized.

(a) The site or working areas are to be cordoned off, with adequate
hoarding toprevent unauthorized entry and to reduce noise levels.
(b) Adequate steps are to be taken to reduce excessive noise and
vibration levelssuch as by working to restricted hours or by noise
suppression devices.
(c) All footpaths and road diversions are to be properly
constructed, wellsign posted and illuminated.
(d) Adopt procedures to prevent mosquito breeding and the attraction
of vermin and flies.

8.3.4. Work Site Traffic Control and Regulation

One of the main causes of inconvenience to the public emanating from construction
vehicles, equipment and activities can be identified as the disruption of
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
The following are some of, but not limited to, the methods by which the
inconvenience to the public from traffic disruption can be minimized.

(a) All footpaths and roadways adjacent to the site are to be always
kept in a clean and tidy state.
(b) All temporary roads and footpaths are to be adequately and
properly constructed.
(c) Flagmen must be at the entire working equipment’s
operation from sideward and backward moving vehicles.
Flagmen shall be at 7 to 15 metersaway from the moving
equipment’s. Flagmen / Banks men will be used to control
movement of equipment at intersection, near to traffic road
of busy work area to avoid collision. Our aim however is to
keep all boots of the ground where applicable and possible
to eliminate the possibility of man and machine accidents
from happening.

(d) Trucks shall be covered with sheeting’s at the roof deck top to
prevent from the spoiled materials loaded blown by the wind
while vehicles are inmotioned.
(e) All road and footpath diversions are to be planned well in
advance withadequate notices being given to the public of such
