Even a small fall of earth is capable of inflicting serious injury even if it does not kill. Unless and until the excavation is battered, the sides need supporting to prevent the possibility of collapse.

The following safety measures are to be ensured before and during excavation.

15. GENERAL

15.1‐EHS Trainings:

15.1.2‐EHS induction:

It is mandatory to provide Induction training to each and every person working inside the project irrespective of cadre and trade. During induction training the project EHS rules and regulations would be highlighted and Dos and Don’ts of EHS would be explained and made them understood the general risks and measures to be taken by each and every one.

15.1.2‐.Periodical training programmes:

Specific training programmes for the following activities will also be organized to promote EHS education for respective trades/ supervisors/ technicians

1. Safety in Welding and gas cutting operation


2. Working at height (Staging/ladders 0E 3. Safety in operation of Power and hand tools 4. Fire hazards and control 5. First Aid 6. Electrical safety 7. Personal protective Equipment

All the above specific trainings would be organized and scheduled on an average one programme in a month

15.2‐Hazard Identification & Control Measures

The Hazard identification is basic requirement for the Accident Prevention. The techniques which are include Inspections, Audits and Risk assessment etc.

15.2.1‐EHS inspections:

The Site safety inspection during work by EHS Coordinator and also by project coordinators in the site play a key role in eliminating unsafe conditions and unsafe acts/unsafe practices by the workmen. Any EHS violations during inspection should be immediately brought to the notice of concerned site in charge for immediate corrective measures to ensure safe working. Until and unless prevailed unsafe condition or deviation is corrected the work activity should not be allowed to continue. EHS inspection checks (General) is to be kept in mind during inspection for hazard identification is in Annexure

15.2.2‐EHS audits:

Apart from regular site inspection by EHS coordinator, periodical EHS Audit will be done by Regional EHS Coordinator or Project EHS personnel to assess the EHS performance and to suggest for improvement. The techniques applied for the safety inspection/Audit can be as follows.

� Preparation ‐ Select areas of greatest hazard or activity to audit ‐ Use toolbox talks to set objective / standards for the workforce ‐ Set a good personal example. � Observations ‐ Take time to watch an activity or situation. ‐ Concentrate on people. ‐ Look for unsafe acts, violation of safety rules or unsafe conditions. ‐ Recognize good as well as bad practices. � Discussion ‐ Discuss with the workforce how the job could be done more safely ‐ Encourage them to identify hazards & to suggest improvements ‐ Ensure that all unsafe acts & conditions are discussed ‐ Honour the good safety practices. � Follow – up ‐ Check at random for repetition of safety violations ‐ Give formal written warnings for repeated violations by individuals

‐ Contractor / Subcontractors auditors are to report their findings on a weekly basis to principal client together with action.


15.2.3‐Risk assessment:

Risk Assessment is an ongoing activity throughout the life of the project. It is used in developing the Safe Work Method Statement – SWMS (or also called Job Safety Analysis). The SWMS requires the work method to be presented in a logical sequence. The hazards / dangers associated with each process are to be identified and person who is responsible to take remedial measures shall be specified for controlling these hazards. Safe work method statements must include the following provisions as a minimum.

• The sequence of activities or work tasks to be carried out (ie. Job steps involved in doing the work)

• Identification & assessment of the risk arising from those activities or tasks in relation to the site and any person likely to be affected by them (ie. Identify & assess potential hazards associated with each job step).

• The way(s) in which the identified risks will be reduced to an acceptable level ie. The controls that will be put in place to eliminate or minimize the potential hazards identified).

• The management system used to monitor compliance with the agreed safe system of work. • The way in which the progress of the work will be reviewed for the purpose of EHS in order

that any necessary modifications and improvements to the system of work can be identified and introduced.

15.3‐Safe Work Permits System:

A Work permit system is used to ensure safe working by eliminating possible associated high risks such as blasting, excavation, working at height, hot works(welding, gas cutting),confined space ,working isolated areas ,electrical shock, chemical exposure, fire hazard during the process of work. Safe work Permit is required to be obtained for the following works

1. Blasting works 2. Excavation 3. Hot work (welding and gas cutting operations) where the risk of fire is involved 4. Height work ( for the works above 2mts height ) 5. Confined space 6. Electrical works (when working on over head line/ transformers or major electrical works ) 7. Any Hazardous nature of job in isolated areas where high risk is prevailed

Work permit should be obtained before starting of the activity by the designated issuing authority of the Project after inspection and ensuring recommended safety measures given by EHS Coordinators.
