EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Environmental Social Safeguard Monitoring has been executed at the 14 nos. of construction

of new 132/133 kv and 33/11 kv sub-stations and construction and expansion of distribution

network of North South Zone project under DPDC, financed by ADB. Monitoring has been

executed based on ADB Environmental and safeguard’s policy, the laws and the National

Policies of Bangladesh and loan covenants between ADB and Government of Bangladesh.

Construction works of all the sites has been ongoing and environmental expert observed Air

quality, water quality, noise, ecosystem, biodiversity and social environmental status of the

construction sites following the ADB guidelines. Environmental expert also consulted with

sites manager, labors and others who are involved with the construction activities and

observed regarding environmental and social aspects such as Health and Safety, working

condition, services facilities like labor sheds, toilet facilities, Drinking water, Kitchen,

Washroom etc. and gender status and opportunities among the workers.

At all the sites environmental expert was examined noise level and observed it was within in

limit i.e, no noise pollutions were occurred. Expert also collect sample’s of water and

examined Air’s parameters and after laboratory test, found all of those were in limit.

During field visit, it was observed that water is being sprayed to control dusts and other

particles.

Solid waste management was partially satisfactory, waste from kitchen and other sources

must be managed properly such as use dustbin and for disposal, disposal site must be located

by the contractor.

The working environment in the sub-station was partially good but must be improve.

Environmental expert suggested at all the sites for complying every aspects using safety

equipment’s for avoiding accidental cases and managed every matter properly during

and timely manner.

1.10 Occupational Health & Safety:

Construction workers will be faced occupational health hazards such as minor or

major injuries due to lack of general safety requirements and precautions applicable

for such sites, malfunctioning equipment, careless use of equipment and vehicles etc.

At the construction camps for all large sized project packages, houses will be

constructed for temporary accommodation for about 100 workers. Poorly designed

11 | P a g e

temporary camps and sanitation facilities may pose a health threat and nuisance to the

workers. Uncontrolled vending of food and drinking water on the work site may also

pose a risk with respect to the distribution of contagious diseases like Typhoid,

Diarrhea, Malaria, Dengue, etc. Construction workers will be required to handle

hazardous materials for the construction works.

A proper Occupational H&S Plan should be prepared prior to start construction by the

Contractors & follow it to avoid health hazard of the workers. Fast Aid Box and

Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) such as ear plugs, helmets, hand gloves, safety

shoes and belts, goggles, raincoats (during rains) etc. should be provided for the

workers for all construction sites of the DPDC. The safety belts and harnesses must

be worn by the workers, working at heights (such as OHTs, buildings etc.) at all times

and safe anchorage points provided. In case of major accident, transport should be

made available to take the patient to the nearest hospital in Dhaka & Narayangonj

Cities. The H&S Manager should be engaged for the construction period of the

project. The workers operating the equipment and drivers driving the construction

vehicles at construction site should be skilled. Proper H&S signboards and

appropriate information to the local people about the construction activities should be

provided.

Occupational Health, Safety, accident and training upon those.

As mentioned earlier, a considerable staff will be involved with O&M of the WS

activities. There could be H&S risks of the staff that may occur during the stay of

workers at the working places these are mainly:

- Fire hazards from loose electric lines/cooking stoves/ careless handling of

materials that can generate fire;

- Inadequate lighting and ventilation in and outside the WS complexes;

- Frequent load shading of power due to inadequate power supply ;

- Lack of daily cleaning and regular maintenance of the WS complexes;

- Noise pollution due to electro mechanical equipment;&

- Use of hazardous chemicals by the workers for purification of water.

The above mentioned all H&S risks must be considered adequately during designing

of the DPDC infrastructure and implement accordingly during construction. Full time

first aid facilities and an experienced H&S Manager should be available. Based on the

nature & location of job, provide PPE such as helmet, hand glove, safety shoes, ear

plug, mask, raincoat & safety belt for working above the GL to each worker. Training

on H&S should be provided for all staff. In case of any accidents, the victim must be

sent to nearest city hospital/ health center for proper treatment. Electro-mechanical

equipment must be kept in closed concrete house/chamber.

12 | P a g e

Training:

Contractor`s arrange short training on Health and safety and also on any accident

occurred to take necessary action, such as the victim must be provide Fast Aid and

sent to the nearest Hospital or clinic.

Construction of Power distribution Sites:

No any adverse negative environmental impact occurred at the sites of

construction of power distribution lines.

Statistics of Accident during construction work.

Up to date no any accident occurred at any construction sites.

2. METHODOLOGY:

The compliance monitoring of the project has been carried out following important

environmental and social component during the field investigation. Methodology for the

investigation of each component are given below:

2.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT:

Ambient Air Quality

To assess the baseline condition of the ambient air in the project area, the air has been

sampled and analyzed at spots, using machine and expert. Ambient Air Quality has

been continuously monitored for xx NOSOCo ,, and particulate matter (PM2.5 and

PM10) and suspended particulate matter (SPM) following the standard method.

NOISE LEVEL

Noise monitoring most important for any big construction activity as excessive noise

may create disturbance to the wild life, indigenous species, fragile ecosystems,

communal stability in case of sudden intrusion and workers due to construction

activities and subsequent increase traffic movement.

The ambient noise level has been monitored monthly sensitive receptors around the

construction sites of this project. Each time noise level has been recorded using

portable noise level meter for a two minutes time span at 5 minutes interval depending

on the site condition. Noise level meter for a two minutes time span at 5 minutes

interval depending on the site condition. Noise level recorded at time only as the

construction works held only at day light hour. A probable increase in noise level in

the same area may provide the tools for assessment of impact on environment.

13 | P a g e

Waste Management

Infrastructure work for any development, usually generate variable quantities and

types of waste materials which have the potential to cause adverse environmental

impacts during generation, storage, transport and disposal. For this reason, the project

aims to implement waste management procedures immediately after the

commencement of the civil works in order to maintain minimum potential impacts to

the environment. The projects sites were observed visually during sites visit to

investigate concerns related to waste disposal.

2.2 Ecosystem and Biodiversity Conservation:

All the sub-station sites and also expansion of distribution network sites are in urban

area of Dhaka and Narayanganj City, so urban ecosystem as well as vegetation and

wild life are major components for ecological monitoring, various types of herbs and

shrubs are observed in this area but no trees have found in any project sites.

2.3 Socio-Economic Environment:

Livelihood and living

Livelihood and employment condition of those primary stakeholders were monitored

through in depth observation, group discussion and key information interview. Local

people stated that the project does not pose any threat to the existing livelihood, rather

it appears as blessing, It will facilitate to install new industries which in turn, would

create scope of employment for local people. The present livelihood and living

condition of surrounded people of project area have been identified and will also be

updated at the next stage of monthly environment compliance monitoring.

COMMUNITY HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY

All the contractor will develop a first aid medical center for immediate treatment. in

case of emergency the patient will be transferred to the nearest hospital by the

contractor.

Labour and their working condition

During construction labor and their working condition was monitored based on

observation and consultation with labors and others like that whose are involved with

the construction works.

At the stage of construction work such as. cast in situ pilling, basement, Frame

structural works, slab casting etc. are very tough works for the labors and supervision

staff, congenial and standard engineering working practices were practiced at the sites

14 | P a g e

however the contractor committed to commence standard engineering practices at all

the working sites.

Attempts were made to identify socio-economic constraints and environmental issues

related to sub-stations and expansion of distribution network construction.

It is essential to draw the attention on ensuring adequate accommodation facilities

using safe drinking water, hygienic sanitation and proper medical facilities for labors,

Living, sanitation and bathing facilities (inside the project side). The project authority

stated that all these facilities will be improved, but senario of the above mentioned

facilities remain unchanged whereas working is now in the middle stage. So it is a

matter of concern of the project priority to pursue the contractors as well as sub-

contractors to ensure standard accommodation facilities for the laborers.

Numbers of safety signboards are found in all the project sites which is good

measures for decreasing accidental occurrences. Workers are also found to use

personal safety equipment (PSE). All of the workers stated that the contractor and

project authority strictly monitored this issue. For ensuring laborers safety and

security, following protective. Laborers safety and security, following protective

equipment should be provided as per their requirement and working activity.

Present practice in the project sites is specified in separate coloumn in the following

3.2 Social Safeguard Compliance Status:

3.2.1 Compensation

DPDC has not needed to paid any compensation for the land, because they has own

land for the construction of 22 nos. of sub-station (8 nos. sub-stations, ADB Financed)

and construction and extension of distribution network of North South zone project.

3.2.2 Livelihood and Employment:

Social safeguard expert during monitoring found that 5% workers are from the

locality involved in the construction work, so it is very good information that the

project has generated employment opportunity for local people through construction

activities. The working condition was not very good inside the sub-stations, because

social safeguard expert during monitoring found that almost all labors were not using

safety equipment as the safety equipment was not sufficient for all workers.

3.2.3 Occupational Health, safety and security

Contractors of all the construction sites, were and security of all the laborers. In any

case of emergency there were no any specific arrangement of doctor’s, ambulance

service to carry the injured person to nearby hospital or clinic, for better treatment.

3.2.4 Labor and working condition

The social safeguard expert during monitoring found that in all the construction sites

labor’s facilities were not upto mark. Contractors were not providing sufficient safety

equipment, adequate labors sheds drinking water, toolbox (First Aid) etc. It should be

improved.

6.6 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

6.6.1 General

Experience from past projects shows that project implementation is a complex process

involving numerous interested and aggrieved parties giving rise to likely instances of conflict,

allegations, etc. Most of the conflicts and allegations appear not to be of a serious nature but

may snowball into a bigger issue if not given adequate attention from the beginning itself.

Some of the potential points that could give rise to grievances could be related to

compensation payment, improper estimation of affected assets, failure to fulfill commitments,

poor management of construction activities, inappropriate planning of vehicle movement, and

cultural conflicts between migrant workers and local communities etc.

Therefore, it is imperative to have an internal mechanism in place where the aggrieved

party/s can lodge their complaints and get it amicably settled prior to approaching the formal

mode of solution available to them i.e. access to legal system through courts. In order to

provide a formal forum to the aggrieved parties to deal with issues arising out of project, it is

proposed that a joint grievance redress mechanism be instituted for both environmental and

social related issues.

28 | P a g e

The proposed Grievance Redress mechanism (GRM) will be developed for the Project in

order to settle as many disputes as possible through consultations. Such a mechanism is

important as it is expected that most cases, if not all, would be resolved amicably; and the

process, as a whole, will promote dispute settlement through mediation to reduce litigation.

However, the options of legal recourse will not be restricted in any way by the project

proponent.

6.6.2 Objectives of Grievance Redress Mechanism

The basic objective of the GRM shall be to provide an accessible mechanism to the affected

people, community and any stakeholder(s) having stake in the project to raise their issues and

grievances as well as concerns. The Grievance Redress Cell (GRC) shall be officially

recognized “non-judicial” body that will seek to resolve non-judicial disputes arising out of

various matters related to the implementation of the ESMP, as well as other aspects of the

project, as may deemed fit to be raised before the GRC.

The fundamental objective of GRM is to resolve any resettlement and environmental related

grievances locally in consultation with the aggrieved party to facilitate smooth

implementation of the EMP. Another important objective is to democratize the development

process at the local level and to establish accountability towards the stakeholders.

6.6.3 Composition of GRC and ULC

A grievance redress mechanism (GRM) is an arrangement for receiving, evaluating, and

facilitating resolution of affected persons concerns, complaints, and grievances about social

and environmental performance at the project level. The GRM is a trusted way to voice and

resolve concerns linked to the project, and an effective way to address affected persons’

concerns. The GRM for the Project is outlined below and consists of three levels with time-

bound schedules for addressing grievances.

The first level and most accessible and immediate venue for the fastest resolution of

grievances is the PMU, chiefly through the PMU Environmental Officer and Project Director,

with assistance from the Environmental Specialist (National) of the design and supervision

consultant (DSC). The contact phone number of the PMU will be posted in public areas in the

project area and construction sites. Grievances will be resolved through continuous

interactions with affected persons and the PMU will answer queries and resolve grievances

regarding various issues including contractor performance, environmental impacts of the

Project (noise, air, traffic, etc.), land acquisition, structures acquisition, livelihood impacts,

entitlements, and assistance. Corrective measures will be undertaken at the field-level itself

within seven (7) days. All grievances will be documented with full information of the person

(name, address, date of complaint, etc.) and the issue.

29 | P a g e

Should the grievance remain unresolved, the PMU's Project Director, will activate the second

level of the GRM by referring the issue (with written documentation) to the local Grievance

Redress Committee (GRC) of the DPDC, who will, based on review of the grievances,

address them in consultation with the PMU Resettlement Officer and Project Director and

affected persons. The local GRC will consist of the following persons:

i. Project Director, DPDC;

ii. Executive Engineer, DPDC;

iii. Affected person or representative of the affected person(s);

iv. Representative of the local District Commissioners office;

v. Representative of the Department of Environment’s (DOE) divisional office, Dhaka.

vi. DSC Environmental Specialist.

A hearing will be called with the GRC, if necessary, where the affected person can present

the concern/issues. The process will promote conflict resolution through mediation. The local

GRC will meet as necessary when there are grievances to be addressed. The local GRC will

suggest corrective measures at the field level and assign clear responsibilities for

implementing its decision within fifteen (15) days.

The functions of the local GRC are as follows:

provide support to affected persons on problems arising from land acquisition

(temporary or permanent); asset acquisition; and eligibility for entitlements,

compensation and assistance;

record grievances of affected persons, categorize and prioritize them and provide

solutions fifteen (15) days; and

report to the aggrieved parties about developments regarding their grievances and

decisions of the GRC.

The PMU Xen will be responsible for processing and placing all papers before the PMU

GRC, recording decisions, issuing minutes of the meetings and taking follow up action to see

that formal orders are issued and the decisions carried out. In the event that a grievance is not

addressed by the PMU or GRC, the affected person can seek legal redress of the grievance in

the appropriate courts, the third level of the GRM. The GRM proposed is depicted in Figure

9. Reasons for the delay of

Project implementation :

Delay in tendering process:

This turn-key project work mainly incorporates tender invitation, material purchase and installation of

the materials according to the survey performed. According to original DPP the project implementation

period was from July-2013 to June-2016. But the project work actually started after the approval from

ECNEC on 19.09.2013. After that, the tender was invited on 27.04.2014 and due to lack of eligible

bidder deadline of the tender submission had been extended twice. Finally the project contract was

signed on 11.06.2015 after the approval of the project financial evaluation report and became effective

on 20 Sep 2015.

10. Existing problems of Implementation of the project:

Because of not receiving road cutting approval from Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), 68.587

km 11kV U/G cable installation work under DSCC area cannot be started.

During construction work I observed that no any environmental negative advance impact was occurred.

During construction work there was no any Environmental negative adverse impact not

occurred.

07. CONCLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

The environmental expert has carried out the monitoring activities comprising the

monitoring of implementation of environmental management plan (EMP) and

environmental compliance with the environmental parameters. The sub-stations

Building construction work and construction of Expansion of Distribution Network of

North South Zone under DPDC are going on rabidly. Some related works were

responsible for a number of environmental issues such a spreading of dust, improper

sanitation setup and inadequate medical facilities etc. There is necessity to follow the

measures suggested in recent monitoring period, the environmental due diligence

covers; the Environmental management system and action plan, occupational Health

and safety, workers well being Biodiversity and sustainable Management of Natural

Resources. The Environmental and Social Monitoring Expert suggested

recommendation and guidelines which need to be strictly and seriously followed by

the workers and the contractors of all the sites.

To make the process more smooth and efficient, the following recommendations are

proposed by Environmental Expert to be followed with immediate effect:

The HR policy was found developed as the management of the site specific EHS

programme have been established: Occupation Health and safety policies.

Emergency preparedness and response plan: Fire prevention, protection and control

plan.

With respect to physical environment and social Monitoring expert considered that

Air Quality was quite good. This time the concentration of all the ambient air quality

monitoring parameters (SO4, NO7, CO, SPM) were found to be within the standard

limit set by ECR’97.

Though construction materials like sand and soil were not covered with polythene at

any site. This might cause dust pollution in dry condition. Hence is required to cover

the construction materials properly.

The observed noise level attains at the maximum but not crossed the limit.

It is obligatory to provide hearing protection equipment to the employees who are

exposed to loud noise.

There was no dustbin or specific disposal site in any of the sites. Hence particular

place for waste disposal should be earmarked for maintaining ambient environmental

neatness.

The Level of safety for workers must be enhanced with comprehensive enforcement

on PPE usage and regular health and safety supervision should be carried out.

64 | P a g e

There were no dustbin or specific waste disposal site at any of the construction site.

Heretic mandatory to define a particular place for waste disposal for maintaining an

effective waste management system.

Workers working condition such as accommodation, Drinking water, sanitation and

medical facilities has remained same as it was in earlier phase of monitoring.

The sanitation system for labors must be improved upto a healthy and desirable level.

The labor sheds must be improved upto a comfortable security force.

Recruitment of more local labor in the construction site would certainly improve the

economic condition of local people: Rationalized work permit system and enhanced

medical support at the site should be maintained.

Weekly Tool Box meetings on health and safety as well as the other governing

environmental and social issues should be initiated.

power system expansion and efficiency improvement ...bangladesh is one of the most densely populated...
