STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION FOR HSE PLAN

The legal requirements for the protection of worker’s hearing are contained in the Building & Other Construction Workers’ (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Services) Central Rules 1998. Loss of hearing is normally progressive and cannot be seen nor is it always apparent until an older age. Noise assessment should be taken at regular intervals. But a general guide is if you have to raise your voice it is too noisy.  Grinders  Cutters  Jack Hammer (pneumatic drills)  Engine driven plant and the like, all give off levels of noise that is harmful. Ear plugs and earmuffs are the commonest form of hearing protection. In general, muffs are to be preferred for the construction industry because:  if it is necessary to remove protectors for a short time for ease of communication, it is easier to remove and replace muffs without risk of contaminating the ear, and  muffs are easily visible, so that plant operators will be aware that persons may not hear approaching machines. If there is a concern that personnel cannot hear warnings, shouts or gas monitor alarms, then a method statement/ safety system of work should be provided for those operations. 31.0

Angles greater than this lace excessive stress on the stiles, whilst slopes less than this affect the stability of the ladder. Before using the ladder ensure that it is secured either by having it footed or securely tied with rope. Raise and lower tools on a sash line. Check regularly for cracks, splits or twists in stiles and rungs and remove a faulty ladder at once. Ladders must stand on their stiles. They should never be supported on a rung. Ladders should be stored under cover wherever possible. No METAL LADDER must be used in any place, which has bare electrical conductors / overhead electrical conductors Do not use an unsound or defective ladder (mark it defective and return it to the stores).

WELDING AND CUTTING (CHECK IF A PERMIT IS REQUIRED) Safety procedures for welding and cutting have been elaborated below, Gas cylinders used in cutting and welding shall:  be stored separately, depending on the type of gas contained, and whether empty or full;  be stored upright, and shielded from direct sunlight or other heat source;  be stored in a well ventilated area;  be fitted with safety caps when not in use;  be properly secured during transportation;  not be lifted by the nozzle, rolled, or used as rollers themselves.  When handling cylinders, ensure hands, clothes, gloved, etc. are free from oil, dirt, grit and grease. Under no circumstances oil shall be allowed to contaminate a cylinder containing oxygen.  All gas and oxygen regulators shall be fitted with flashback arresters, being non-return valves designed to prevent an explosive mix developing in either cylinder. Such explosive mixers can occur due to loose connections, leaking hoses, etc.  Prior to use, all equipment shall be thoroughly checked to ensure that:  all connections are ‘tight’, checking for leaks shall be by means of soapy liquid applied to each joint;  all fittings such as gauges, flashback arrests etc. are functioning correctly;

 hoses are in good condition, and free from signs of cracking or perishing.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL A NAKED FLAME BE APPLIED TO ANY PART OF THE CYLINDER OR HOSE ARRANGEMENT TO DETECT LEAKS.  The cutting and welding of certain metals, or metal coatings such as zinc galvanized surfaces give off harmful fumes and such works must, where possible be carried out in a well ventilated area.  The welders shall wear good quality insulated welding gloves and use proper welding shields (Eye protection). Welding holders shall be of insulated type with finger guard.  When not in use, the current to the holder and electrode must be turned off.  Work area beneath or adjacent to fabrication of welding works shall be made free from combustible materials, and cordoned-off to prevent personnel being injured by weld spatter or molten metal. Placing of cylinders directly beneath the work area shall not be permitted. Elimination of danger from welding and cutting is of the application of sensible precautions: Rigorous supervision and control of portable equipment is essential as is adequate training. 

Supply hoses should be arranged so that they are not likely to be tripped over, cut, or otherwise damaged by moving objects: a sudden jerk or pull on the hose is very liable to pull the torch out of the operator’s hands, or a hose connection to fail.



Explosions can occur when acetylene gas is present in the air in any proportion between 2 and 82%.



Acetylene is also liable to explode when under excessive pressure, even in the absence of air.



The first essential requirements are, therefore, adequate and proper ventilation, and the examination of the equipment to ensure that it is free from leaks.



Flashback arrestors and hose check valves should be fitted to both oxygen and fuel gas regulators and manifolds. Acetylene manifolds must be fitted with an effective flashback arrestor.



Non-return valves are also fitted in the hose connectors at the torch end to resist flashback.



During welding and cutting operations, precautions must be taken to prevent burns of the eyes and exposed parts of the body.

Good ventilation must always be provided for gas welding. The heat produced by prolonged contact of the acetylene flame with a large mass of metal will lead to the formation of oxides of nitrogen, and in confined spaces special ventilation or breathing equipment will be necessary. The fumes given off when welding or cutting parts which have been galvanised, lead-coated or otherwise treated, may be injurious to the operator, and special precautions must be taken. The operator should be provided with suitable respirators to protect him.

In addition to fumes evolved from electrodes and fluxes, coated or otherwise treated metals may give off toxic fumes. Special care in ventilation must also be taken in welding non ferrous metals and certain alloy steels. The ultraviolet light from the arc, particularly the gas shielded arc, may form ozone from the air or phosgene from solvents. Shielding gases are released into the atmosphere, and may build up where ventilation is restricted, or even in open-topped tanks, as they are generally heavier than air. If the eyes are exposed to the light of the arc, even for quite short periods, arc eye may develop. Adequate screening to protect workers in the vicinity is essential. Eye injuries also occur during deslagging operations so safety glasses/goggles must be worn whilst deslagging. Sparks and spatter from the arc are always liable to ignite any inflammable material in the vicinity. Care should therefore be taken to make sure that the workplace and the surrounding area are clear of anything, which may catch fire.  Damaged cables shall not be used.  The cables shall be connected to through lugs.  Earthing return should be connected to the job. Welders should wear safety helmets even while welding by attaching the welder’s hood to the safety helmet. 59.0

LIFTING OPERATIONS Lifting machine, chains, ropes and lifting tackles used by the contractor on site must conform to the following,  All parts must be of good construction, sound material, adequate strength and free from defects.  Must be properly maintained, thoroughly examined and load tested by the contractor’s competent person regularly.  No lifting machine and no chain, rope or lifting tackle should, except for the purpose of test, be loaded beyond safe working load and this safe working load must be plainly marked on the gear concerned. The contractor shall offer his tools and tackles for inspection and approval of owner’s Engineer/ Supervisor before start of work, if so desired. He shall produce valid TestCertificates from Govt. approved certifying authorities for all of his lifting gear and hoists (Slings, chains, hooks, chain-pulley blocks, winches, hoists, cranes, etc.) as well as Electrical, Pneumatic and Hydraulic equipment and appliance. These certificates shall be retained at the site with the contractor’s Supervisor/ Site-in-charge for subsequent spot checks also.

CRANE & RIGGING Crane selection to ensure compatibility with the particular site lifting requirements and construction programme is a major decision, which may require careful investigation by a specialist. The contractor shall appoint a suitably qualified and experienced person to act as Supervising Rigger, and his responsibilities will include the preparation of the ‘rigging study’, and the safe rigging and lifting of the load at the location.

Godfrey Phillips India Ltd.

DATE: PAGE 43 OF 78 REVISION NO:

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION FOR HSE PLAN

All works involving the use of a crane shall be properly planned in advance and a ‘rigging study’ carried out to ensure that, the crane is capable of lifting the load, given the known working radius, boom length, weight of the load, etc.; the condition of the ground at the crane location is satisfactory to support the crane and the load; the rotation of the cab, and therefore the boom is not restricted; suitable ‘matting’ or plates are available to protect underground services and paving; all slings, shackles, hooks, etc., of the correct rating are available and in good condition (i.e. without lapings, knots or artificial extensions). Crane hooks shall be fitted with properly functioning safety clips to prevent the displacement of the sling from the hook during the lift. Loads must always be slung with the center of gravity directly beneath the crane hook and at all times, be kept as close to the ground as possible. The angle between sling legs shall not, under any circumstances exceed [120 0 ], as this doubles the tension on each leg, thereby reducing the lifting capacity of the sling by 50%. For wheeled cranes out riggers shall be used for each lift, regardless of the size, and shall always be fully extended. Shackles shall be complete with the original pin and under no circumstances shall a substitute bolt be fitted. A ‘trial’ lift shall be carried out, raising the load a short distance above its pick-up point, to check the stability of the crane, and the efficiency of the brakes. Only one person, usually the Supervising Rigger, shall give instructions to the crane operator. At no time whilst the crane’s machinery is running, shall the operator leave the cabin. At no time whilst a load is suspended shall the crane’s engine(s) be intentionally turned off. At no time whilst a load is suspended, shall personnel perform any works directly beneath. Particular consideration to the presence of low-level structures such as pipe badges shall be given where crane is to move about the site. Consideration shall be given to prevailing weather conditions, and where a greater than normal risk exists, the lift shall be postponed until more favorable condition develop. Site preparation and operations require detailed planning, design and execution. Lifting operations necessitate the establishment of efficient management teams and detailed systems of work. Broadly speaking, there are three categories of lifts:   

Major lifts involving heavy lift equipment and cranes Special lifts, which require bringing on to, site a large crane, in most cases for a short period of time Repetitive routine day to day crane work.

DATE: PAGE 44 OF 78 REVISION NO:

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION FOR HSE PLAN

Casual use of cranes to perform apparently simple tasks, too often results in serious injury and expensive damage. Detailed planning and preparation is essential to carry out work safely and efficiently. The training, skill and experience of the crane operator and crew is only one element of a properly organised lifting operation. For day to day routine crane operations, careful selection of the most suitable type of crane, plus the establishment of a safe system and method of work is essential. The statutory provisions which apply to lifting operations during construction operations are contained in Building & Other Construction Workers’ (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1996 and Rules, 1998. All lifting operations should be carefully planned and a safe system of work (lifting study) developed. The safe system should be suitably communicated to all those who are involved with the operation in any way. Planning should consider a wide range of factors including: The selection of lifting appliances and gear. This will be determined by:  the load to be lifted, including the slings, shackles, block and other lifting gear  the radius of operation  the height of the lift  the presence of any restrictions in the form of overhead cables or lifts inside buildings, etc.  the visibility of the load throughout its travel  the method of attaching the slings ii)

The appointment of trained supervisors and operatives

iii)

The positioning of the crane, taking account of ground conditions and proximity hazards

iv)

Any necessary erection and dismantling of the crane

v)

The method of signaling to be used

The maintenance of lifting appliances and gear In case of Contract Lifting Operation, management must satisfy themselves that the contractor they wish to employ for the carnage operation has the necessary competence to carry out the work. Every contract agreement for a Contract Lifting Operation should state the following:  that all work will be carried out in accordance with safe practices, and  that the contractor will appoint one person to have overall control of the Lifting Operation The following item should be checked before allowing the crane to go to work:  Certificate of Testing and Examination issued by a competent person as per statutory rules.  Record of the periodic inspections on the crane must be signed by a competent person of contracting agency.  That the lifting equipment to be used is suitable for the job and that the test certificates for such items are available.  That the crane complies with the requirements of the job assessment.  The crane hook is provided with safety catch.  The hydraulic system / brakes are functioning.

That the safe load indicator and load radius indicator are working and set correctly for the crane as rigged. Certificates of initial and periodical Tests and Examinations.

Loads should only be moved when the signaler can both see the load and communicate with the driver. An additional signaler must be provided if the load goes out of sight.  Copies of the sling chart and safe working load tables shall be used.  Loads should not be lifted until directed by the signaler / banksman. The load should then be lifted a short way to enable an assessment to be made that the load is properly slung.  No person should be allowed to come under lifting load.  The counter weight of the crane and boom movement area shall be cordoned off.  No one should ride on load being slung.  Tag lines should be used to control load swinging.  Load shall not be lifted if there are knots / kinks in the slings. Lifting Gear The severe usage to which lifting gear is often subjected, may result in failure, it is important that attention be paid to the correct use and maintenance of such lifting gear. This can best be achieved by:    

Good design and workmanship Careful testing and inspection after manufacture or repair Detailed planning and correct and careful use of the gear; storage under cover Regular, careful inspection and maintenance during the life of the gear

Majority of the accidents in lifting operations are due to faulty slinging, overloading of slings, items over which the crane driver has little or no control. The duty of banksman / slinger is not one that can be undertaken by untrained persons and shall be carried out by a competent person. Ensure that wire rope sling are protected from sharp corners of loads by suitable packings. Discard the ropes if there are excess broken wires. When ‘U’ clamps are used on wire rope slings the rounded portion of ‘U’ clamp shall be on the free end of the wire rope. Minimum 3 no’s of ‘U’ clamps shall be used for splicing and more clamps required depending upon the diameter. The SWL markings on an item of lifting equipment shall be inspected before it is used. These numbers are normally stamped on to the master eye or ferrule of slings and the body of eyebolts, shackles, etc. Alternatively, metal tabs, which bear this information, may be fitted to slings. On web slings the information may be on a label stitched into the sling, normally at the eye, and they may be additionally colour coded to identify SWL. Due to the multiplicity of grades of chain available, a given chain diameter will give rise to varied SWLs. For this reason, it is imperative to refer to the SWL marked on the sling. The most common defect to be found with chains in service is that of stretching – and this includes stretched or distorted links, rings or hooks. Other regular defects are, cuts in the surface through bending round sharp-edged objects – these cuts (or nicks) reduce the strength of a link out of all proportion to the depth of the cut, hooks opened out, due to lifting on, or near, the hook point with the full load being borne by the point of the hook.

MANUAL HANDLING Vast majority of manual handling accidents result in most commonly a sprain or strain, often of the back. Sprains and strains arise from the incorrect application and/or prolongation of bodily force. Poor posture and excessive repetition of movement can be important factors in their onset. Many manual handling injuries are cumulative rather than being truly attributable to any single handling incident. A full recovery is not always made; the result can be physical impairment or even permanent disability. Building & Other Construction Workers’ (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1996 requires employers to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the health and safety of their employees while at work. Where this general assessment indicates the possibility of risks to employees from the manual handling of loads the requirements of the present regulations should be observed, as follows:  avoid hazardous manual handling operations so far as is reasonably practicable  assess any hazardous manual handling operations that cannot be avoided, and  reduce the risk of injury so far as is reasonably practicable  record and monitor methods used Where it has been assessed that there is a risk of injury from manual handling, the first consideration should be whether the load needs to be handled at all, or whether the requirement for handling can be minimised. The scope for eliminating the handling of loads on construction sites is limited, but careful planning of storage areas and deliveries of loads can reduce handling requirements. Where load handling operations are essential, consideration should be given to the use of mechanical handling, for example by the use of lifting appliances or fork lifts. The Contractors should consider the use of such mechanical aids at the planning stage of their activities. Except in the case of very simple operations where verbal instructions may be sufficient or operations or very short duration, which will not be repeated, the significant findings of assessments should be recorded and kept for as long as they remain relevant. An example of a checklist, which may be used during assessment, is included. Refer Attachment K, Flow Chart. The following points should be emphasised in training programs and the capability of employees to follow such advice should be considered in making assessments.  Plan the lift Where is the load to be placed? Use any appropriate handling aids. Do you need help with the load? Ensure there are no obstructions to the lift. For a long lift, such as ground to shoulder height, consider resting the load mid-way, if possible, in order to change grip.  Place the feet Feet part, giving a balanced and stable base for lifting. Leading leg as far forward as is comfortable.  Adopt a good posture Bend the knees so that the hands, when grasping the load, are as nearly level with the waist as possible, do not kneel or overflex the knees. Keep the back straight (tucking in the chin helps). Lean forward a little over the load, if necessary, to get a good grip. Keep shoulders level and facing in the same direction as the hips.

 Get a firm grip Try to keep the arms within the boundary formed by the legs. The optimum position and nature of the grip will depend on the circumstances and individual preference, but it must be secure. A hook grip is less fatiguing than keeping the fingers straight. If it is necessary to vary the grip as the lift proceeds, do this as smoothly as possible.  Do not jerk Carry out the lifting movements smoothly, keeping control of the load.  Move the feet When turning to the side, move the feet; do not twist the trunk.  Keep close to the load Keep the load close to the trunk for as long as possible. Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the trunk. If a close approach to the load is not possible, try sliding it towards you before attempting to lift it.  Put down, then adjust If precise positioning of the load is necessary, put it down first, then slide it into the required position. 62.0

ABRASIVE WHEELS Before any abrasive wheel/disc/cutter/side grinder is mounted on a grinding machine. The person mounting the wheel shall be fully trained and competent to do the job. Injuries involving the use of abrasive wheels, disc cutters, side grinders, fall into three main types:  Those, which result from particles being thrown out during a grinding, process;  Those which occur when a grinding wheel bursts or disintegrates;  Those caused by contact between a revolving wheel and a person’s hand or some other part of the body. Many of these injuries result in permanent disability, and some prove fatal. Selecting the right abrasive wheel for a particular application is critical. Check for expiry date. Only reinforced resin-bonded or resin-bonded abrasive wheels must be used with portable grinding machines. As the most serious injuries involving abrasive wheels occur when wheels burst and flying fragments strike people in he vicinity. The two main causes of wheels bursting are over-speeding, and the faulty mounting of wheels on grinding machines. Grinding machines are marked with the maximum working speeds of their spindles, whilst abrasive wheels are marked with the maximum speed at which they may be operated. They should be compatible. Eye protection shall be worn during all grinding operations. Protection for those not involved in the operations shall also be protected by the erection of screens, or barriers to keep personnel out of the danger zone. The safe operation of a properly mounted abrasive wheel is determined to a large extent by a trained grinding machine operator taking the following precautions:

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION FOR HSE PLAN

No electrical powered hand tool shall be used other than it is tagged with a current “INSPECTION” tag. All electrical leads must be connected to the power source through standard industrial waterproofed plugs and sockets, which shall be in good condition. Hand tools, in this context. Refer to those tools for which the hand provides the motive force i.e. picks, shovels, crowbars, saws, chisels, hammers, screw drivers, wrenches etc., which are commonly used in our day-to-day work activities. Hand tools by themselves are incapable of causing accidents. However accidents arise with them due to the following reasons:-

    

Sheer carelessness Lack of common sense Not knowing the correct tool for the job Ignorance of sensible safety precautions Failure to maintain tools in good working order and store them properly etc.



 

Hand tools are very often used by unskilled or semi-skilled labourers. Hence appropriate tools must be provided to them for the job to ensure that the operatives are properly instructed in how to use them. Every tool has its proper application. The correct type, size and weight of tool should be selected for the job. The tools should be carried in proper tool box While working at higher elevation, adequate precaution to be taken to ensure that they do not slip down. Do not carry sharp and pointed tools in the pockets which may cause injuries. Do not throw the tools either from top or from the lower elevations to higher elevations.



Cleanliness:

  

1. Grease and dirt should be regularly cleaned off 2. Moving and adjustable parts shall be lightly oiled to protect against corrosion to prevent wear and mis-alignment. 3. Tools made of cast steel or cast iron or less liable to crack in cold weather and hence kept clean and dry.    66.0

Where work takes place near electrical operators only properly insulated and non conductive tools should be used and the insulation should be tested at regular intervals by a competent person All metal body of the tools shall be properly earthed. The tools be connected through ELCB. For work near flammable material or flammable atmosphere, special tools made of nonferrous metals for the purpose shall be used to avoid sparking.

SUSPENSION OF WORK If the contractor is found by the engineer not complying and or persisting in non-compliance with safety requirements or with statutory obligations, the engineer may suspend his work at any time by notice, in writing, and the work shall not be resumed unless and until the engineer shall cancel in writing his suspension order. The Engineers decision in this matter shall be final. No claims arising from such suspension shall be made by contractor.
