3.2 Reporting Procedures 3.2. 1 General There are two principles of efficient accident reporting: a) Full, thorough and factual investigation as soon as possible after the event, with findings and recommendations documented at each stage of the investigation. b) The reporting of incidents which may or may not have caused damage or interruption to the work process.

All accidents and near miss incidents are to be reported immediately to the responsible Supervisor. All serious accidents are to be reported immediately verbally to the Engineering consultants Safety Officer and to follow up with a written copy to the Engineering consultant Accidents involving medical treatment lost time or near misses are to be reported in writing to the Engineering consultants Safety Officer on a weekly basis. 3.2.2 Fatal, extremely serious and very serious accidents shall be reported to TICEL at the earliest opportunity and never later than the day of the accident. Thereafter, the accident shall be processed as for serious accidents.

Serious accidents shall be reported by the Engineering consultant with the submission of a preliminary report to the Owner within 48 hours, together with copies of all available documents and a note of current status of investigations. Thereafter, the accident shall be processed for minor accidents.

For minor accidents, near misses and hazards, the Engineering consultant shall submit an Accident Report to the Owner upon completion of investigations and remedial actions.

3.3 Investigation Procedure and Recording of Accidents 3.3.1 Introduction All accidents and near miss accidents are to be investigated. Serious accidents are to be formally investigated and recorded. The Safety Manager shall be responsible for all accident recording and statistics publication for a project.

3.3.2 Responsibility The immediate supervisor is to conduct the initial investigation, and depending on the severity of the accident, the site project management, contractor safety inspectors and the Owner may become involved.

The Safety Manager may request further detailed investigation if it is determined that there is potential for significant loss.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 117 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

3.3.3 A Guide for Full Investigation As a guide, the following events will require a detailed investigation: a) a lost time accident; (L.T.A.) b) damage or injury to a third party; c) loss or damage to company plant and equipment of Rs.25,000/- or more; d) any accident or incident which has the potential to become a common law claim; e) any event which contravenes company policy or procedures f) any event which breaches statutes/laws; and g) any event or incident which had the potential to become any of the above.

3.3.4 The Investigation System Immediately an accident/incident/near miss has been reported, the immediate supervisor is to specific instructions for action to prevent any secondary accidents and to alert any emergency response services which may be required. The accident report form is to be completed once the event has been investigated and the completed report forwarded to the ENGINEERING CONSULTANT Safety Officer within 12 hours of the occurrence.

3.3.5 Accident Analysis Accident statistics are to be kept in accordance with AS 1885 Recording and Measuring Work injuries.

3.4 Corrective action Within (1) day of a fatal, extremely serious, very serious or serious accident occurring, the Contractor1 Engineering consultant shall visit the Site and meet with the Client’s senior site personnel to investigate the causes for the event and to initiate/endorse whatever corrective action has been found necessary to take.

With respect to all lost time incidents the Engineering consultant of the Contractor’s Organization shall write to the Engineering consultant within one week of the incident setting out the proposed corrective action to prevent re-occurrence.

3.5 Recording accident statistics The medical centre or First Aid Centre will be the focal point for initiation of injury associated documentation. The safety department in conjunction with medical centre staff will collate the site accident records for statistics purposes using the following: a) A First Aid Treatment Register

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 118 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 b) An Accident Report (Investigation) c) A Register of Work Injuries d) Written Reports as required

3.6 Statistics (definitions) The safety department will be responsible for maintaining the statistics relative to Health and Safety including the following: a) Lost Time Accident Frequency Rate (LTAFR) b) Medical Treatment Rate c) Duration Rates, and d) Incidence Rates (Near miss reports included)

Frequency Rates - The frequency rate can be used to relate the number of injuries of any type to the exposure to hazard while in the workplace and is expressed in terms of million- man-hour unit

The exposure to hazard is expressed in man-hours and it is recommended that the figures be obtained from payroll or time-clock records. When this is not practicable, the exposure may be calculated by multiplying the total employee-days worked by the number of hours worked per day. An estimate may be obtained by multiplying the average number of employees per year by 2000.

The method used for obtaining man-hours exposure should not be altered from period to period.

Work Injury Frequency Rate - This is the number of work injuries in the selected period, related to a million-man-hour unit.

Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate - Ibis is the number of lost time injuries in the selected period, related to a million-man-hour unit, as follows:

Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate = Number of lost time injuries × 1.000.000/Man hours exposure

Medical Treatment Injury Frequency Rate - This is the number of medical treatment injuries in the selected period related to a million man-hour unit.

Specific Frequency Rate - This is the number of specific injuries in the selected period related to a million-man-hour unit. This frequency rate can be used for any individual classification. Examples are: Eye-injury frequency rate; Strain-while-manual-handling frequency rate.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 119 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Duration Rate - Duration rate is a method of measuring the time lost in days in relation to the number of injuries. Prolonged cases are to be regarded as dosed after one calendar year from the date of first absence.

The figure obtained is an average of the time lost due to injuries. Calculation - This rate is computed from the number of lost time injuries and the time lost during the selected period, as follows: Duration Rate Time lost/Number of lost time injuries

Incidence Rates Incidence rate is a measure of the number of injuries per employee during the period under review. It may be expressed as a percentage by multiplying by 100.

Lost Time Injury Incidence Rate - This is the number of lost time injuries per employee during the selected period, as follows:

Lost Time Injury Incidence Rate = Number of Lost Time Injuries/Number of employees

Medical Treatment Injury Incidence Rate - This is the number of medical treatment injuries per employee during the selected period.

Work Injury Incidence Rate - This is the number of work injuries per employees during the selected period.

Compensable Injury Incidence Rate - This is the number of compensate injuries per employee during the selected period.

Rates for any period, i.e. month, quarter of year, shall include inquires which occurred during the period, together with any injuries which occurred in the previous 12 months and which have not already been included in earlier calculations.

An injury which occurred in a previous period, did not cause lost time at the time of occurrence, but caused lost time in the current period, shall be included as a lost time injury in the current period.

When calculating duration rates, the time lost for the period shall include time lost in the current period caused by injuries which occurred in previous periods.

Extinguisher Type Australian Colour of Extinguisher Appropriate for Standard (Type of Fuel) Water 1840-42 Red Ordinary Combustibles Foam 1843-45 Blue Flammable Liquids Dry Chemical (Powder) 1846 Red with white band General purpose flammable liquids BCF 1948 Yellow Electrical and small flammable liquids 7.6 Training Basic fire extinguisher training may be included as part of induction training for all TICEL employees. Depending on locations and type of risks involved, fire teams may be formed. Team members should be given appropriate training on the handling of hoses and fire- fighting equipment

7.7 Emergency Planning Emergency fire plans and procedures are to be drawn up for the project. Fire plans are to be in two parts:

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 127 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Part 1 Action on Discovering a Fire Part 2 Emergency Procedures

7.8 Inspection Procedures An inspection schedule integrated with the audit program shall ensure that the following are being checked and maintained: a) Site checks for fire hazards b) Fire extinguishers, hose reels and fire-fighting equipment c) Alarm system and emergency procedures continue to be operational and fully understood by all d) Frequency of inspection program revised regularly by the safety department

7.9 Flammable Liquids Many fires are caused by the ignition of liquids having flash points below ambient temperature or the temperature to which they are heated. Hie vapours are easily ignited and can travel long distances to sources of ignition. Storage of flammable liquids is to be in accordance with AS 1940 - SAA Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code.

All flammable liquids are to be listed along with location.

The amount taken from the safe storage is not to exceed one day’s Supply.

Storage is not to be in a hot location or dose to an ignition source such as electrical appliance, heating appliance or naked flame.

Containers are to be opened or decanted only in a well ventilated area sufficiently distant from any potential source of ignition.

Smoking is prohibited within 15m of any flammable liquid store or use area. Signs must be located warning of this requirement.

Flammable liquids may be kept in suppliers’ containers provided these are labeled and containers in good condition.

Containers are to be kept sealed when not in use. Liquids are not to be stored or used where they may jeopardize escape routes. Persons handling flammable or combustible liquids are to be fully familiar with the hazards involved and wear suitable protective equipment.

Spillage of flammable and combustible liquids is to be reported and cleaned up immediately.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 128 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Flammable product - Impregnated rags, waste, etc. are to be placed in metal bins with self- closing metal lids.

7.10 Housekeeping and Waste Disposal The importance of cleanliness and tidiness in effective fire prevention cannot be overlooked. Accumulation and failure to properly dispose of rubbish and waste materials provides fuel for fire ignition. Many fires are caused by indiscriminate burning of waste in an improvised or hap-hazard manner.

Combustible waste materials are to be guarded from all sources of heat and sparks. Metal containers with lids are necessary for the collection of waste. They are to be cleaned daily or more frequently.

Bulk waste containers are to be sited so that the accidental ignition and combustion of materials will not endanger personnel, the plant, buildings or storage.

The frequency of Waste collection and the maximum time for which it may be stored is to be specified and monitored by the safety department

Separate containers are to be used for the collection of waste materials, which are incompatible chemically, and such containers are to be clearly marked. Ensure that your work area is clean and orderly at the start, during and at the end of your shift. Place all lunch remnants, scraps and other unwanted items in trash containers. All floors and stairways are to be kept free of obstructions. All tools and other equipment must be positioned so they do not create a tripping hazard.

After a job is completed, all tools and materials must be removed from the working area and returned to tool boxes, store rooms, tool rooms, etc.

Oil and grease spills shall be cleaned up or covered with floor dry compound immediately. Greasy rags and waste shall be kept in fire resistant containers. Machines and equipment shall be kept dean with air, water or sweeping the area. Oil spills on machines and floors shall be cleaned up and not allowed to accumulate in the work area.

Personal cleanliness is very important Many uncomfortable skin irritations that are blamed on work causes are a result of carelessness or incomplete washing during and after work.

Always remove scrap or unused metal during and after work. Each employee is required to keep his or her work area or equipment neat and orderly.

All protective equipment shall be reviewed by the ENGINEERING CONSULTANT safety department prior to its purchase. The safety department shall ensure the following: a) the hazards and circumstances of the particular work have been correctly assessed and identified; b) the characteristics, performance and protection capabilities of the proposed protective equipment is the most suitable for the intended application and complies with applicable standards and/or Legislation for the area of work; c) the design and sizing of the protective equipment is such that the efficiency of the device is not reduced by inadequate ‘fit’ or interference, e.g. from facial hair; and d) consideration of any medical problems, which may prevent an employee from using the protective equipment effectively.

8.3 Standard of Equipment Proof of compliance with the relevant Australian Standard is a pre-requisite for the purchase of any personal protective equipment for issue and use on a project

8.4 Correct Use Fitting - Correct fit is a pre-requisite for the correct operation of personal protective equipment. Instruction and Training - Persons may be shown the correct way to use personal protective equipment issued to them.

Maintenance - Persons may be advised how to maintain personal protective equipment and emphasize they are required to keep their personal protective equipment in good repair.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 130 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Specification of Use - All areas on a project requiring the use of personal protective equipment are to be signposted in accordance with AS 1319 Safety Signs for the Occupational Environment. Where personal protective equipment has been identified for use, it then becomes a basic pre-requisite for the employee performing that task to wear such equipment

8.5 Application of Instructions Instructions and requirements for the wearing of personal protective equipment apply to every person entering the work area where that equipment is required.

8.6 General Requirements All persons entering onto a project are to wear safety footwear which complies with AS 2210 Safety Footwear.

All persons entering onto a project are to wear a safety helmet. All persons entering onto a project may be required to wear safety glasses or acceptable eye protection.

8.7 Hearing Protection While the incidence of a noise-induced hearing loss has been recognized in a general way, it is only in relatively recent years that a systematic approach has been made to this subject and that serious study has been given for dealing with the problem. It is TICEL BIO PARK, PHASE II policy to minimize noise hazards by: a) control at source, and b) control of transmission which involves either attenuation or reduction of noise levels.

Where noise levels’ appear to be high, noise surveys will be conducted. If the noise level is found to be in excess of 85dB(A) the equipment or process will be identified with a sign indicating the nature of the risk and the need to wear personal hearing protection. Signs will also be erected delineating noisy areas and the need for employees to wear hearing protection before entering those areas. Safety signs are to meet the standard of AS -1319 Rules for the design and use of safety signs in the Occupational Environment.

The Contractors will provide appropriate hearing protection in the form of either earplugs or muffs depending on the hazard and preference of the wearer. AS 1270 Hearing , Protection Devises is the standard to be met.

Visitors shall wear hearing protection in prescribed areas.

8.8 Respiratory Protection The following principles are to be observed in the protection of employees from respiratory hazards:

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 131 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

a) No person is to be exposed to an atmosphere that is or may be injurious to health. b) In all cases where it is possible that the atmosphere can be contaminated by toxic substances, a regular system of testing the atmosphere surrounding the workplace, by a properly trained and responsible person using suitable equipment, is to be undertaken. c) Every effort is to be made to prevent the release of harmful substances into the working environment This is to be achieved by correct working methods and conditions and by appropriate controls of released substances. d) If efforts to prevent or control the hazard are unsuccessful, suitable respiratory protective devices are to be provided and used.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 139 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

9.6.7 Slings Slings can be made from fibre rope, wire, chain or synthetic webbing. Their purpose is to provide a connection between the load or object to be moved or lifted and the crane or lifting device.

Use of Slings The correct type of slings are to be chosen for the particular job in hand. Regular lifts are to be provided with custom made slings (preferable chain) to minimize damage and make the job safer and more efficient. Safe use of slings involves care.

Employees using slings are not to: - Use a sling over sharp comers without protective padding. - Force the sling into position. - Overload the sling. - Use a damaged sling or one that is worn. - Drag a sling from under the load. - Allow loads to pass over a sling lying on the ground.

Sling care Slings are to be properly stored off the ground without causing kinking. Slings are to be regularly cleaned and inspected. The control and use of slings is to be delegated to a Site Supervisor.

Inspections The importance of the regular inspection of slings cannot be over estimated, although in general if they look good they probably are good. Their damage is usually easy to detect and indicated that the sling should be replaced.

Slings are to be uniquely numbered for record purposes.

Besides the regular inspection following their use, slings are to be inspected on a monthly basis and the finding entered on the record sheet.

Worn or damaged slings are to be rendered unusable prior to disposal.

9.6.7 Shackles. Hooks. Spreaders. Swivels or Similar Appliances Lifting tackles is an integral part of any lifting arrangement and as such is to be inspected regularly.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 140 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Only the proper shackle pins are to be used. Bolts, rods etc. are not to be substituted.

A regular inspection is to be carried out to check for deformation, cracks or any other obvious faults.

9.6.9 Check for Chains. Hooks. Wire ROPES. Synthetic Slings. Hand Hoists Inspection check lists for chains, hooks, wire ropes, synthetic slings and hand bolts are provided below:

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 143 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

9.6.14 LOAD TEST A suitable place should be prepared in the workshop or store for a bracket and suitable test weight to be kept. The test weight is to be clearly marked with the actual weight. The equipment is to be hung on the bracket and the test weight is to be lifted +300mm and lowered three times.

If the equipment fails to hold the load or “runs away” when the lift is stopped and the load left hanging, the equipment is to be tagged “Out of Service” and replaced. One person is to operate the equipment during the test and under no circumstances is an extension of any kind to be added to the operating lever.

10 CRANES 10.1 Cranes - Pendant Control Pendant control cranes may be located in stores and workshop, Certification is not required to operate a pendant control crane, however the crane operator should observe the following:

Before activating- current to the crane always check the wires (live) are dear of material. Ensure the crane runway is clear of obstruction.

Always locate the hook directly over the load before lifting, lift load clear of the floor before traveling. Never side pull or drag a load.

When handling loads approaching maximum S.W.L of the crane always test the brake by lifting the load just clear of the floor. If brakes do not hold, return the load to the floor and arrange brake adjustment Do not handle loads greater than the capacity of the crane. Check limit switches are operational as part of pre-start check. Do not rely on limit switches, they are for emergency use only.

Ensure slings are correct size and type for load being handled and they are correctly located and secure before lifting. Ensure hands are clear of nip points before taking load. Take the load slowly onto the crane, do not jerk.

10.2 Mobile Prior to use of mobile cranes it is essential the operator checks the safety and efficiency aspects of the unit for the work to be performed in particular the following: Type of load to be lifted i.e. nature, size, shape, lifting points, centre of gravity etc. Weight of load to be lifted must be known as accurately as possible. Maximum radius at which the load is to be lifted and located. Height to be lifted and final position of load. Restrictions in the working area i.e. plant buildings etc

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 144 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Proximity of hazards such as other cranes, cables etc Ground conditions and stability to tracks or outriggers. Method of slinging. Access to the work area. Correct boom length is fitted to the crane for the work requirements. A current crane test certificate must be on display in the crane cabin. Hired cranes will not be permitted on a project unless current certificates are displayed. The load radius indicator and the load indicator (if fitted) must be operational and correctly set All gear carried on the crane must be in good condition i.e. chains, ropes, slings, shackles etc.

10.3 Crane Assembly Restrictions of movements concerning cranes on roads require most units to be delivered to the site in sections and assembled on site. Prior to setting a crane for assembly, permission must be obtained from the Safety Section for use of an area to ensure no disruption to project activities. The following applies to jib assembly.

The makers instructions for jib assembly must be followed, only correct sections for the particular crane may be used, they must be undamaged without any bent or damaged main chords or braces or broken weld. The bracing pattern must be continuous throughout the length of the job.

Assembly bolts and/or pins of the correct size, type and quality for the crane must be used, preferably pins should be inserted from the inside of the job pointing out

Ropes must be undamaged, of the correct size and type and properly secured at each terminal point, at least two turns of rope must remain on hoist and derrick drums in every operating position of the crane.

Pulleys must be of the correct size for the rope and must be free to rotate under the movement of the rope.

The jib head and hook block assembly must be reeved in accordance with the makers instructions.

The weight of the hook, block, slings and any other attachments must be noted in the crane so that adjustments to the S.W.L can be made by the driver to calculate the actual (NETT) load capacity for jib length.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 145 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

10.3.1 Fly Jibs Normally the fly jib is operated on a single fall of rope with a maximum capacity up to the crane rating for a single fall. A load chart for the fly jib must be fitted in the cabin of a crane to be fitted with a fly jib.

When a fly jib is fitted to the main jib but is not in use the working load of the boom must be reduced to allow for the weight of the fly jib and hook.

Unless the crane has been specifically designed simultaneous use of the fly hook and main hook this practice is prohibited.

The fly jib must always be fitted with safety ropes or arresters to prevent backward instability.

10.4 Mobile Work Platforms Mobile work platforms will be used on a project to gain safe access to some aspects of activities fabrication. These platforms are safe if properly used by competent persons, the following points must always be checked: All lubrication points serviced daily. All articulated joints checked for wear, abrasion and cleanliness daily. All control lines and cables secure and free from traps, leaks and kinks. Stabilizing ring secure and all clamp bolts fitted. Cell controls perform correctly. All interlock valves and electric switches are operational. If outriggers fitted, boom cannot operate until they are extended. When outriggers or road jacks down the vehicle cannot be driven. A back up operated system to cover failure of main pump on hydraulic to allow safe retrieval of boom and cage. Cones or other warning devices located to keep traffic flow dear of the machine. Ensure adequate overhead clearance. Load specification must not be exceeded under any circumstances. The unit is not be used as a crane. 10.5 Chain Blocks – Hoists, etc Chain blocks, hoists etc- may only be used within their design capacity. When securing chain blocks and hoists for lifting, care must be taken that tile areas for securing will take the desired weight and will not distort or fail during tile lift. The anchor Point must be such that the hook of the chain block or hoists is not subjected to any side or twist load that may cause the hook to distort or fail.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 146 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Ropes and slings must be inspected for defects prior to each use. If any doubt exists as to the safety of any lifting gear or any lifting arrangement it must not be used until checked by a competent person.

10.5.1 Lifting Lugs Any lug to be welded to a structure for lifting or securing shall be correctly designed for the load it is to support.

10.5.2 Eyebolts Eyebolts shall not be constructed on site without the authority of the Safety Manager. Collared eyebolts shall conform to AS 2317-1984 and be used in accordance with the standard.

11 SCAFFOLDING 11.1 Introduction Scaffolding gear, boards and equipment for a project may be to “on hire” from a selected reputable scaffold supply group. All items delivered to a site will be inspected by the Safety Officer or authorized person prior to acceptance for use. An area of the site will be allocated to the safe stowage of scaffolding gear.

All scaffolding erection shall be done by persons holding the appropriate certificate of competency.

The method of controlling the use of scaffold on a project shall be the SCAFFTAG system. The safety section shall ensure sufficient tags, holders etc. are available for a project.

11.2 Procedures All notices to be fixed to scaffold advising its safety status shall be scafftag.

Persons shall only be “authorized” to inspect scaffolding and locate scafftag by the Safety Manager.

Scafftag notice(s) shall be fixed in visible locations and adjacent to access ladders and/or proposed access points.

All access points to a scaffold shall be fixed with a Scafftag showing current status of scaffold.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 147 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

11.3 Construction or Erection During the construction or erection of a scaffold, and until it has been completed and passed for use, the “scafftag” shall display the DO NOT USE THIS SCAFFOLD portion. While this is displayed the only persons permitted on the scaffold shall be those directly involved with the erection work.

11.4 Inspection Prior to use the scaffold may be inspected by an authorized person who is responsible to ensure the scaffold complies with regulations and meets the site access requirements.

If satisfied, the authorized person shall sign the appropriate section of the green scafftag inset and locate the inset into the scafftag holder. The scaffold shall remain safe for its designated use as long as the green tag is located.

The scaffold shall be checked as per a schedule compatible with its use by an authorized person who shall sign the inset at the completion of each inspection.

If at any time an inspector declares the scaffold unsafe for continued use, he shall remove or request the removal of any persons on the scaffold and remove the inset thus exposing the “DO NOT USE THIS SCAFFOLD”.

The scaffold shall remain out of service until it has been repaired, inspected and passed for use.

11.5 Dismantling At the end of its service and prior to commencing dismantling, the authorized person shall remove the green inset after ensuring all persons and equipment have been removed from the scaffold.

Only persons involved with dismantling may now enter upon the scaffolding.

At the completion of dismantling the authorized person shall retrieve the scafftag holders and return them to the safety section.

11.6 Partial Use Provisions Where a large scaffold section is being erected, some sections of the scaffold may be approved for use as per the procedures. A scafftag warning inset showing “SCAFFOLD NOT TO BE USED BEYOND THIS POINT’, shall be fixed by the authorized person to a temporary secure barricade preventing access to that section of the scaffold.

Note: Unauthorized Persons are not permitted to alter or interfere with any scaffold at any time. Special access or alteration requests must be directed to the authorized persons.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 148 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Unauthorized Persons are not permitted to remove, alter or deface the SCAFFTAG equipment.

11.7 Ladders Ladders present one of the major hazards in construction work and their improper use is the cause of many serious accidents. An analysis of accidents involving ladders reveals that four principal causes of such accidents are: a. Ascending or descending improperly. b. Failure to secure ladder at the top and/or bottom. c. Structural failure of the ladder itself d. Carrying objects in hands while ascending or descending.

Great care should be used in the selection of the proper size and design of the ladder for the use intended, in the construction of job built ladders and in maintenance and proper use of all types of ladders.

1. Inspection and Testing. All stock ladders should meet approved standards. All stock ladders should be equipped with proper fitted safety shoes. a. Wood. Wood ladders should be inspected frequently for damage and deterioration. Close visual inspection is recommended in preference to load testing. Jumping on a ladder, which is supported horizontally, subjects the ladder to more severe loads than it is intended to carry and may result in damage that can lead to sudden failure while in use. b. Metal Frequent inspections of metal ladders is recommended. All parts should be checked for wear, corrosion and structural failure. c. Ladders of all types should be carefully inspected if accidentally dropped or otherwise damaged in use. d. Ladders found to be defective should be repaired or, if not salvageable, destroyed.

2. Maintenance a. Wood. Stock wood ladders should be periodically treated with a clear preservative such as varnish, shellac or linseed oil. Ladders must not be painted: as painting covers up structural defects. All metal fittings on wood ladders should be carefully checked. b. Metal Rungs should be cleaned to prevent accumulation of materials that might destroy non-slipping properties and all metal fittings should be carefully checked.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 149 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 c. When not in use, all types of ladders should be stored under suitable cover protected from the weather. Ladders stored horizontally should be supported at both ends and at intermediate points to prevent sagging of the middle section.

3. Use The foot of the ladder should be placed approximately 1/4 of its supported length away from the vertical plane of its top support. Only light, temporary work should be performed from ladders. Employees should be cautioned about the danger of trying to reach too far from a single setting.

Ladders should not be placed in front of doors which open toward the ladder unless the door is locked or otherwise guarded.

Ladder feet should be placed on a substantial, level base and the area in the vicinity of the bottom should be kept clear.

Both the top and bottom of the ladder should be secured to prevent displacement.

Ladders leading to landings or walkways would extend at least one metre above the landing and be securely fastened. Long ladders should be braced at intermediate points to prevent spring.

All metal ladders are electrical conductors. Their use around electrical circuits of any type, or places where they may come in contact with such circuits, is not permitted.

Metal ladders should be marked- with signs reading: CAUTION - DO NOT USE AROUND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. When ascending or descending a ladder, employees should face the ladder and use both hands to hold onto the side rails. Lf material must be moved from one level to another, a rope, block and tackle, or other means should be Material should not be hand carried on ladders.

12 WELDING AND CUTTING 12.1 Introduction All welding introduces potential risks, which may affect health and safety if adequate precautions are not taken. The basic objective must be to ensure that welding work is carried out in a manner, which will maintain:

- The health of personnel directly engaged in the work, their work mates and other nearby persons; and

- The safety of all personnel involved, nearby plant, equipment and the environment.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 150 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

The majority of welding injuries and diseases are related to the type and location of the welding operations and result usually form a combination of circumstances which taken singularly, create little problem, e.g. local overheating of a poor welding cable connection may set alight adjacent flammable material which in turn results in fire, bums to personnel and loss of equipment.

- No cutting, heating or welding shall be carried out on a unless; - the operation is carried out in accordance with SAA AS 1674, Fire Precautions in Cutting, Heating and Welding Operations;

- the person in charge has determined that it is safe to carry out the cutting, heating or welding operation and has issued a ‘hot work permit complying with the standard referred to in this sub-clause; and

- any shielding or screening used in the hot work operation is of a material, which is combustion resistant.

Electrical welding neutral returns shall be connected directly to the equipment being welded.

12.2 Identification of Hazards All persons directly responsible for, or involved in welding operations are to be aware of the hazards which could arise in their area of operations.

In general welding and cutting operations the following specific hazards will always be considered by the responsible supervisor and his welders: electric shock - from either the welding supply leads, or the other temporary or permanent power distribution systems in use; radiation burns - to the eyes or body from exposure to the light from the welding arc; bums - due to hot slag, pre-heated or molten metal or accidental contact with cooling welds fire and explosion - due to arc, flame, sparks or electrical faults in combination with flammable materials, gases or liquids; eye injury - due to foreign bodies, e.g. chipped welding slag; sickness - due to fume inhalation or dust inhalation; hearing impairment - due to prolonged exposure to noise; other hazards

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 151 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

12.3 Advice on Welding Hazards TICEL shall ensure that each worker is advised of any hazards peculiar to the work area at the safety induction and thereafter by his supervisor prior to starting new and hazardous tasks.

12.4 Safe Working Principles The general principles of safe welding operations are that each welder or assistant should: a) Know and use the established safe and proper method of working and, if in doubt, ask; b) Make proper use of appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment; c) Ensure all equipment used is maintained in a safe condition; d) Work in adequately ventilated location; e) Maintain a high standard of housekeeping; f) Ensure any unsafe condition is made safe before working, or reported if it cannot be made safe; g) Not enter dangerous areas, e.g. highly flammable or toxic areas, or cease work immediately and report any suspected conditions of this nature. h) identify and report defective or dangerous equipment to the Supervisor.

12.4.1 Fumes and Lack of Oxygen All welding and cutting operations produce fumes. Adequate ventilation at all times is essential. When working in spaces with restricted ventilation extra precautions may be required. The concentration of general welding fumes can be measured and provided the threshold limit value is not exceeded, the situation may be considered relatively safe. However, toxic fume hazards may arise in cases when special steels or coatings are involved and extra precautions will then be required. Some situation that may involve extra precautions are: a) coated (primed or plated) base metals; b) alloys containing toxic elements; c) radiated heat forming noxious gases; d) flame heating heavy sections forming nitrogen dioxide;

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 152 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 e) flame processes burning atmospheric oxygen and adding large quantities of asphyxiating gas to the atmosphere; f) gas shielded processes adding inert gases to the atmosphere and displacing oxygen.

NB: Never ventilate any space or work area with oxygen - always use clean air.

12.4.2 Infra-red and Ultra-Violet Rays

Electric arcs radiate in wavelengths from infra-red (heat) to ultra-violet (UV). This range includes visible light. Ultra-violet radiation is invisible, but can be hazardous, even when reflected.

UV can affect the skin producing bad bums. The rays may also pass through some materials, such as nylon, so the correct protective clothing etc. is necessary.

UV causes ‘arc eye or welders Rash,’ a painful but temporary form of conjunctivitis, even if exposure to uv arc if very short.

UV decompose some chlorinated hydrocarbon degreasing agents and may form the poison gas phosgene, even at a distance from the are. Degreased items are to be thoroughly dried before welding. Solvents are not to be used near welding operations.

12.4.3 Electric Shock

Mains voltage supplies to welding sets and auxiliary equipment can cause shock and bums which may be fatal.

Welding voltages may cause ‘shock’ sensations but are most unlikely to cause death, except in ultra-sensitive persons. However, a person’s reaction to such shock might cause them to overbalance and therefore suffer serious consequences.

All electrical welding equipment is to be checked by a competent electrician before use.

Preparation and repairing of welds usually involve grinding and chipping. Eye protection shall be worn for these operations. Protection is also to be worn when grinding, chipping and de-slagging welds.

12.4.4 Gas Welding/Cutting

The gases commonly used are oxygen, acetylene and propane.

Oxygen and acetylene combined and burned in a suitable torch produce a flame (approximately 3,30000) that can melt and fuse any of the commercially used metals. With

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 153 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 the oxyacetylene flame and a supplementary jet of oxygen, steel sections can be cut or shaped.

Other fuel gases and fuel gas mixtures can be used as well as acetylene. These include hydrogen, natural gas and LPG.

12.4.5 Gases

Oxygen (02) will not bum on its own, but it is a strong supporter of combustion, in an oxygen atmosphere, ignition takes place much more readily. Because of this, oil graphite or other combustible lubricants are not to be used in or on oxygen equipment Fire resistant or flame retardant materials will bum in a raised level of oxygen atmosphere.

Acetylene (C2H2) has a distinct odour often likened to that of garlic or sour apples. It is explosive when mixed with oxygen over a wide range of levels (2.1/2% - 8 1 l/o-). Acetylene is a toxic gas.

Free acetylene becomes unstable at pressures above 100Kpa (15 psig). Inside a cylinder, acetylene is dissolved in acetone to prevent internal explosion. It is therefore essential that acetylene cylinders be stored, handled and used in the VERTICAL position to avoid the liquid escaping and damaging the valves and other equipment.

Acetylene regulator pressures are never to be allowed to exceed 100 Kpa (15 psig)

12.4.6 Storage of Cylinders Cylinders are to be stored in a safe, dry, well ventilated place prepared and reserved for that purpose. Flammable substances such as oil and volatile liquids are not to-be stored in the same area. Oxygen cylinders and flammable gas cylinders are to be stored separately. Medical gases are to be stored separately and never mixed with other industrial gases.

All cylinders are to be chained or otherwise secured in an upright position, to prevent rusting, cylinders stored in the open are to be protected from ground contact, extremes of weather and the direct rays of the sun.

Cylinders are not designed for temperatures in excess of 540C (1300F). Cylinders are not to be stored near sources of heat or near flammable liquids or substances.

Cylinder storage is to be planned so that cylinders will be used in the order in which they are received from the supplier. Empty and full cylinders are to be stored separately and empty cylinder plainly marked as such so as to avoid confusion. Empty cylinders are to be kept separate according to the type of gas they have held.

All cylinder storage areas are to be ventilated sufficiently so that explosive concentrations of gas cannot assimilate. Smoking or any other source of ignition is prohibited. All wiring is to

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 154 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 be conduit. Electric switches are to be located clear of the area. All bulbs are to be enclosed by a protective glass screen.

12.4.7 Handling of Cylinders Serious accidents can result from the misuse3labuse or mishandling of cylinders. When handling oxygen cylinders, because of the fire hazard, hands and clothing are to be free from grit, grease and oil. Grit and grease mast be prevented from entering valves.

All valves are to be fully closed before a -cylinder is moved. Unless a trolley or special carrier is used, regulators and hoses are to be detached from the cylinders. If cylinders are to be lifted by a crane, specially designed cylinder holders with lifting eyes are to be used.

Where a trolley is to be used for slinging, its base is to be strong enough to take the weight of the cylinders. Cylinders are not to be lifted by an electromagnet. Cylinders in transit are to be secured to avoid any violent contact which would weaken the cylinder walls. Loading and unloading is to take place carefully. Cylinders are not be dropped, thrown or dragged. They are never to be used as rollers or as a support. Carriage is to be in properly designed containers.

When in doubt as to the proper handling of a compressed gas cylinder or its contents, the supplier of the gas or the Safety Section is to be consulted. Empty cylinders are to be returned to the supplier with the valves dosed. Cylinders, even those marked empty, are to be treated as possible hazards and handled with great care since they still contain some gas. All empty cylinders are to be chalk marked with the letters “MT” and immediately placed in the empty cylinder storage area.

12.4.8 Inspecting Equipment All equipment is to be examined immediately before use and regularly maintained. Only soapy water is to be used to check for leaks. The presence of a leak is often indicated by a hissing sound or by the nature of the torch flame. Cylinders and valves are to be kept clean. Grit, grease, oil and dirty water around the valve sockets and connections prevent a proper formation of the gas-tight joints.

The operator is to stand well clear when gas is being deliberately released to clear valves and sockets.

The “cracking” of cylinder valves is never to be attempted unless the valves and opening are pointed away from the operator and other persons. This is never to be done near other welding work or near sparks, open flames, or other possible sources of ignition.

Hoses are to be kept for one type of gas only. They are to be examined before use for any signs of splitting which might give rise to leakage. All connections are to be made by clips or crimps.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 155 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Every three months the hose connection to the cylinder gauge and the handpiece or apparatus connection shall have the last 5cm of hose removed and the connection renewed.

Acetylene can form explosive compounds in contact with certain metals or alloys, particularly copper or silver. Joint fittings or lines made of copper are not to be used. Acetylene is not to be allowed to come into contact with extraneous copper pipe work.

It is dangerous to let the torch flame come into contact -with the cylinders or for the lighted torch itself to be hung on the regulators. It is equally dangerous to rest blowpipes, even extinguished ones, on old drums. “Empty” drums which have contained low flashpoint liquids are known to have become lethal bombs when a hot welding torch was laid down on them.

Cylinders in use are to be kept upright on a custom-built stand fitted with a bracket to accommodate the hoses and equipment Unless the cylinder valve is protected by a recess in the head, the metal cap is to be kept in place to protect the valve when the cylinder is not connected for use.

Acetylene and LPG cylinders are always to be stored vertically with valve at top.

12.4.9 Faults It is not uncommon for minor explosions to occur during welding or cutting. Some are more frightening than harmful, but some can lead to very dangerous conditions. There are four general groupings of faults that can arise: Snap out, Backfire on lighting, Backfire during use and Flashback.

Snap out can occur during use when: Both regulators are at incorrect pressure. The torch nozzle is obstructed. The nozzle is held too close to the work.

Corrective action: Close both torch valves, oxygen first. Check regulator setting (Acetylene 100 Kpa or 15 psi max). Check cylinder pressures. Check nozzles. Re-light. Ensure adequate gas flow.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 156 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Backfire can occur on lighting up when: Regulators are not set to correct pressure. Light is applied before the flow of gas mixture is property established.

Corrective action: Close both torch valves, oxygen first. Check cylinder pressures. Check and adjust regulator setting. Check torch. Re-light when gas flow is properly established.

Backfire can occur during use when: Regulators are not set to correct pressure. The nozzle is obstructed. The nozzle is overheated.

Corrective action: Close both torch valves, oxygen first. Check cylinder pressures. Check and adjust regulator setting. Cool torch and check nozzle orifice for obstruction. Re-Light.

A flashback is the most dangerous hazard It is caused by mixed gases in the hose(s). Usually this mixing of gases occurs when the hoses have been disconnected from regulators or torches or when a new hose is being used for the first time. Sometimes this is due to loose connections. Usually one of the hoses will have burst and possibly ignited.

Preventative action: Ensure that all connections are tight Ensure that cylinder valves are open and torch valves closed. Set regulators to the required pressures. Purge each hose separately and consecutively. Open the torch valve and allow gas to flow for sufficient time to ensure that only pure

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 157 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 gas remains in the hoses. Close the valve for each gas as the exercise is completed. This exercise is to be carried out only in the open or in extremely well ventilated areas. Corrective action: Close both torch valves. Close both cylinder valves. Extinguish hose if alight. Remove acetylene regulator, if the “bull nose” is sooty, there may be a dangerous condition. Carry out procedure advised under “heated cylinders”. If the “bull nose” is clean replace regulator, repair |hose(s)] or obtain new ones. Re-assemble equipment and hoses; continue with work. Where an acetylene cylinder becomes accidentally heated or gets hot from severe backfire through faulty equipment, operators are to: - Shut off the valve. - Raise-the alarm. - Remove any external source of heat. - Apply water until the cylinders cool. The Work Area Supervisor is to: Clear the area of personnel. Call the Fire/Rescue Crew. When the cylinder is cool, it should be moved into the open and isolated from contact for 24 hours.

12.4.10 Welding/Cutting Safety Rules For all general welding and cutting work the following safety rules will be observed: No cutting of any structure or cranes (including hooks) is permitted without written permission from the Engineering consultant. Under no circumstances are crane hooks to be welded.

Under no circumstances is welding permitted on top of or against any fuel oil or lube oil tank

All welding or cutting areas are to have adequate ventilation. It is the responsibility of the welder to ensure that no welding commences until adequate ventilation is in operation.

No hazardous liquids are to be stored or used near the welding or cutting area.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 158 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

All welders are to have, a dry chemical extinguisher for Class A, B, and E fires dose to the welding or cutting job at all times.

For more hazardous or complicated welding or cutting jobs a person may be assigned to assist the welder.

When necessary, because of localized heating of the structure a fire watchman will be stationed in the adjacent compartment.

In all cases where, but welding of two items is undertaken and when neither item is attached to any structure, both items are to be connected to the welding return. Bonding is to be made using mechanical clamps.

Cylinders of Oxygen, acetylene, hydrogen, propane or Other flammable gases are never to be taken inside any enclosed space in which hot work is being done.

13 ABRASIVE WHEELS 13.1 Introduction ENGINEERING CONSULTANT will ensure that abrasive wheel equipment suitable for project requirements is purchased. Purchasing personnel shall ensure wheels and discs are handled and stored correctly prior to issue. Wheels and discs being fined shall always be checked for speed and type compatibility to the machine to which it is being fitted. All wheels, discs and machines must be marked with the maximum working speed (rpm).

13.2 Training TICEL may have a training course in the correct, use of abrasive wheel equipment. Persons on a project shall not be permitted or directed to use such equipment until they have attended such training. No Person is permitted to fit or mount an abrasive wheel until he has been trained and is considered competent to perform such work. The persons authorized by TICEL shall be authorized in writing through the Safety Section.

13.3 General Operation AS 1788 Code of Practice for the Use, Care and Guarding of Abrasive Wheels is to be used as the prime reference for Abrasive Wheel Operation.

13.4 Eye Protection Persons carrying out dry grinding operations or truing or dressing an abrasive wheel, shall wear properly fitting eye protectors and be protected by suitable transparent screens which are fitted in front of the exposed part of the wheel so as to intercept flying particles.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 159 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

13.5 Grinding Wheels and Disc Grinders Abrasive wheels are made in many shapes and sizes for different purposes. Standard shape definitions as set out in the code are Preferred. Only the surface intended for use in grinding are to be used, i.e. the straight wheel type is to be used only on the periphery. a) handle wheels carefully, avoid dropping or bumping b) the speed of rotation of the grinding machine is not to exceed the safe working speed on the grinding wheel or disc drive. 13.6 Guarding All guards for abrasive wheels used by the Contractors, with the exclusion of certain cutoff wheels are to be of cast steel or structural steel having a minimum tensile strength of 4 × 108Pa (60,000 psi).

Wheels are to be fully guarded as follows: a) bench and floor stand grinders are to have 90° Maximum exposure beginning at a point not more than 65° above the horizontal plane of the -wheel spindle. When the nature of the work requires, this may be extended an additional 35° below the wheel giving a maximum exposure of 125°. b) Cylindrical grinders are to have 180° maximum exposure beginning at a point not more than 65° above the horizontal plane of the wheel spindle. c) Surface grinders and cutting-off machines are to have 150° maximum exposure beginning at a point not less than 15° below the horizontal plane of the wheel spindle. d) Swing frame and portable grinders are to have 180° maximum exposure with the top half of the wheel protected at all times. e) In the case of bench, pedestal and cylindrical grinders where the operator stands in front of the exposed section of the wheel, provision is to be made to ensure that the opening at the top of the guard is never more than 6mm from the wheel. This is to be done either by an adjustable tongue or by means of a moving guard. f) the peripheral and side members of grinding wheel guards are to conform to dimensions laid down in Section 4 of the Code, AS 1788.

13.7 Mounting Procedures Simple rules summarized below for wheel mounting should be followed by persons authorized for wheel Mounting: a) Before mounting, all wheels and discs are to be closely inspected to make sure that they have not been n3dshandied in transit or storage. The bush, if any, is not to project beyond the side of the wheel’

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 160 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 b) Care is to be taken to ensure that all wheels, washers and flanges are free from foreign matter. c) Any burrs are to be taken off flanges. d) Washers Of compressible material not over 0.75mm thick are to be fitted between the wheel and its flanges where the surfaces are flat. Wrinkles in washers are to be avoided. Washers are not recommended for taper and dovetail wheels. e) Prior to returning the wheel to normal grinding the wheel should be run for sixty seconds at normal speed within the “run up” safety cago at the change station. f) Care is to be taken to tighten nuts only just enough to hold the wheel firmly. Excessive clamping pressure is liable to damage the wheel. The nuts are to be tightened by hand pressure on a spanner and never by a hammer and chisel or similar means. g) When the flanges are clamped by a series of bolts, care is to be taken to screw up each bolt uniformly. All the bolts are first to be run up with the fingers and then tightened in pattern formation afterwards.

Truing and Dressing - The following important precautions are to be taken: Dressing tools, are to be rigidly mounted at the proper angle and direction, whether on the table or through the hood. Hand dressers are to be properly supported so that leverage can be applied without undue effort. With a revolving cutting type dresser the lugs provided are always to be employed, as an anchor.

Care is to be taken to reduce the possibility of dressing tools jamming between the abrasive wheel and rest, or any fixed part of the machine.

Whilst truing or dressing, the operator is to be properly protected by hoods or screens.

There are many types of abrasive wheel dressers and various methods by which these operations may be carried out Wheel and machine manufacturers specifications are to be consulted on the technical aspects of the subject

13.8 Operating All new wheels are to run at full operating speed with guards in place for one minute before the authorized person fitting the wheel allows work to proceed, during which time all persons are to stand to one side.

Work is not to be forced against a cold wheel, but applied gradually. A wheel is not to be left standing partly immersed in coolant as it could throw the wheel dangerously out of balance.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 161 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Side grinding is only to be performed on wheels designed for this purpose; such wheels are mounted with one flat side against a suitable steel plate to withstand side pressure. Grinding on the flat side of straight wheels is hazardous, especially when the sides of the wheels are appreciably worn. A detailed investigation is to be conducted of any incident resulting in any wheel breakage.

13.9 Condition of Floors The floor surrounding every fixed machine or area where portable tools are being used, is to be maintained in good and even condition. So as far as practicable, it is to be kept clear of loose material and prevented from becoming slippery.

14 ELECTRICAL SAFETIES 14.1 Introduction Every employee and person working on a project shall be familiar with the procedure for isolating electrically operated or controlled equipment.

For the safe operation of the tagging procedures, the following procedures apply POLICY All electrical control devices, the operation of which would cause a hazard shall be located in the designed safe position and tagged with a Do Not Operate Tag. The tag shall remain in position as long as the equipment is required to be secure.

All equipment, the operation of which could cause damage to itself or other equipment, shall be rendered safe by fixing of an Out Of Service Tag .

RESPONSIBILITY The Supervisor of a relevant area is responsible for ensuing that all employees or contractor employees under his control follow the Tagging Procedure and have signed the Supervisors Permit Form prior to commencing work.

No person may commence work on or within any equipment if the operation of a switch, handle or value or continued operation of equipment constitutes a hazard.

Any Person working on equipment and failing to ensure he is adequately protected shall be subjected to disciplinary action.

PROCEDURE Prior to commencing work or repairs on any item of equipment, the Supervisor shall ensure the correct item(s) of equipment is isolated and shall fix a Do Not operate Tag firmly to the switch handle of that equipment

The isolation shall be effected by the Supervisor in company with an electrician. At the completion of the isolation, a Supervisors Isolation Form shall be completed by the Supervisor detailing the equipment isolated and the work to be carried out The electrician shall sign the Permit form to confirm the isolations noted have been effected.

The Supervisor shall enter the name of each person who it is intended will work on or around the equipment which has been isolated in the Supervisors Isolation Form. The Supervisor shall ensure those persons initial against their name before commencing work.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 164 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

When isolating equipment is to be re-energized, the Supervisor shall check that all employees are clear of the work area and that the equipment is in a ready and safe state for service.

No person who has initialled the Supervisors Isolation Form prior to commencing work shall leave the work site without signing the Form to allow de-isolation. “ANY PERSON WHO LEAVES THE WORK SITE WITHOUT COMPLETING THIS REQUIREMENT MAY BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION”.

The Supervisor, in company with an electrician shall return to the isolation point and the Supervisor shall, after confirming all men have signed off, sign to cancel the Permit Form.

The electrician shall countersign the cancellation section of the Form and DO NOT OPERATE Tags associated with the Permit are removed.

The isolated switch, valve etc., may not be closed or operated until all DO NOT OPERATE Tags are removed.

Supervisors Isolation Forms may only be cancelled by TICEL Supervisors from the section in which they were raised.

Uncompleted jobs at the end of shift shall result in the isolation remaining if required although all employees shall have signed off at the end of shift and will, if required, sign onto the Isolation Form at the Commencement of work the next shift

In cases where a Supervisor required to cancel an isolation and still has signature(s) of employees he shall, in company with the electrician check the work area, site areas and if necessary, the time clocks to ensure the person(s) are not on site. After either contacting the person(s) concerned or being satisfied that no danger exists, the Supervisor shall initial for the employee and witnessed by the electrician, the de-isolation may then be completed.

The Supervisor shall ensure the employee(s) concerned are advised immediately on their return to the worksite that they are no longer signed onto Isolation Forms.

The Supervisors Isolation Form when in use for isolation shall remain in the direct control of the Supervisor at all times.

14.2 Isolation Procedures (Mechanical) Introduction Danger tags are used on site to protect people. The Tag Out procedure is designed to prevent mechanical equipment being made “LIVE” during the progress of the work.

An important aspect of the Danger Tag system is that it applies equally, to all persons who will work on the equipment.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 165 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Placing and Removing of Danger Tags on Mechanical Equipment If there is danger from an unexpected release of energy, activation or movement from equipment under repair or maintenance, the person conducting the work or in danger from the movement of the equipment is to place a Danger Tag on the main switch or valve or equipment. Each Danger Tag placed is to have dearly printed on it the date and name of the person placing the tag.

No person is to touch the Danger-tagged valve, control, etc., until the necessary job is finished and ail the danger tags have been removed.

Only the person who places the tag is permitted to remove it. Should he be definitely unavailable, his foreman or Manager in charge of that section, may do so only after he has fully investigated the situation PERSONALLY, and received Permission from the Engineering consultant to do so.

The Supervisor or person in charge is to investigate the work area and fasten his own Danger Tag to any point which, if operated, would be dangerous to men or machines. He is then responsible for seeing that ALL men in his group have removed their Danger Tags and are safe BEFORE he removes his own tag.

14.4.3 Out of Service Tags (Electrical and Mechanical) Equipment or machinery on which an OUT OF SERVICE Tag has been placed MUST NOT BE USED.

An OUT OF SERVICE Tag may be placed on any equipment by any person who in their opinion believe the equipment constitutes a hazard to persons or property. Immediately after fixing an OUT OF SERVICE Tag, the person must advise his Supervisor of his doing so and the reason.

An OUT OF SERVICE Tag may only be removed by a TICEL Supervisor and only after he has personally inspected the equipment and is satisfied that it is safe to do so.

Equipment that has an OUT OF SERVICE Tag fixed must never be worked upon unless a Supervisors Isolation Form has been completed and DO NOT START Tags fixed by the Supervisor.

14.4.4 Work Extending Over a Shift If faulty or incomplete equipment cannot be brought into full working order before the end of a shift, the person in charge of the task is to fix an OUT OF SERVICE Tag on the main controls before the Danger Tags are removed. He is then to tell his supervisor and the supervisor of any other department in which he may be working, when he has done.

When the servicing or installation is recommenced every person on the task is to attach his own Danger Tag.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 166 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

When the task is finished and the equipment is safe to operate, the supervisor will see that each man removes his Danger Tag and is safely clear, and finally will remove the OUT OF SERVICE tags.

15 CHEMICAL SAFETY 15.1 Introduction The use of chemicals on Projects takes many forms, from crack detection sprays to aggressive solvents and cleaners and two pack paints. Asbestos has also been included in this section.

The risk of any chemical is greatest when it has not been correctly identified and/or safe systems of use have not been properly established for the protection of those persons using or exposed to it

The most common hazards with chemicals or corrosive materials is the destruction of the skin, the surface mucous membranes of the body and their underlying tissue by direct contact with corrosives.

15.2 Methods of Attack of Chemicals External Contact Mostly liquids, corrosive skin absorption or dermatitis. Internal Contact Inhalation, gasses, fumes, dust and vapours. Ingestion Swallowing contaminated hands, nails or items of food. Poisoning Resultant from one incident of exposure or effects of exposure over a long period. Classifications Upper Respiratory Irritants

Substances which have a direct action on the upper respiratory tract and mucous membranes of the nose, throat and eyes.

Lung Irritants Two responses by the body are direct and delayed. Direct irritant action on the respiratory tract with additional action on lung tissue is substances like ammonia, chloride, fluoride and hydrogen chloride. Delayed action substances include nickel carbonyl, nitrous fumes, and phosgene. Inhalation may cause immediate symptoms of dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and breathing difficulties.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 167 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Simple Asphyxiants These substances do not injure the respiratory tract, but give rise to oxygen deficiency in the lungs.

Inert gas such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen can give rise to such condition. Respiratory depressants can cause cessation of breathing and asphyxia.

Chemical Asphyxiants Chemicals in this category affect the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Carbon Monoxide for example.

Narcotics Generally absorbed into the bloodstream and produce an anesthetic effect, some may affect other body systems. Many solvents enter this category, either petroleum or trichloroethylene.

Narcotics can injure the liver, kidneys, heart and affect the blood forming system of the body and the nervous system.

Metallic Poisons Arsenic and Mercury are typical examples of chemicals which destroy the vitality of any form of living matter with which they come in Contact

Marking It is essential that all containers coming onto a project are clearly marked as to contents and remain clearly identified all the time they are on site.

15.3 Strategy The following strategy will be pursued by TICEL to manage chemical hazards: Hazardous materials will be used only after taking into account the degree of risk involved and the operational and economic effects of substitution with less hazardous materials.

Where the use of hazardous materials is essential, employee exposure to those materials will be kept as low as reasonably practicable by engineering means. Relevant statutory limits will be regarded as the minimum standard of achievement in this respect. Material Safety Data sheets will be used to determine limits, exposure and protective requirements.

As a last resort where process substitution or engineering controls are not practicable or are inadequate for the reduction of employee exposure concentrations, access to hazardous materials will be restricted to essential employees who will be provided with appropriate, approved, personal protective equipment.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 168 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Where personal protective equipment is required, all affected employees will be thoroughly trained in its selection, fitting, use and where appropriate, maintenance. Minimum eye protection for use with flammable liquids, solvents, oxidizing agents and corrosive chemicals, is chemical safety goggles. All personal protective equipment will be checked at appropriate intervals by responsible employees and referred for repair or replacement where necessary.

All new processes will be investigated for known potential chemical hazards prior to implementation. Information will be obtained on the potential for any requirements for protection against acute and chronic hazards. In the first instance this information will be sought from suppliers and will be supplemented from other sources as necessary. Chemical products will not be accepted without relevant health, safety and emergency information being made available by the supplier.

Material Safety Data Sheets are to be kept in a Central Register of Chemicals by the Safety Manager and a copy of the register will be located on a project, accessible to all persons.

Safe handling procedures, consistent with the best available knowledge, will be developed and implemented to cover transportation, storage, handling, use and disposal of hazardous materials.

These procedures will be based on supplier information, technical/research literature information, user experience and local conditions.

Emergency and first aid procedures will be developed and adequate warning signs, will be installed on emergency equipment

Employees who handle, or may be affected by chemicals, shall be fully informed of the hazard potential of those chemicals and the procedures for safe handling, minimization of exposure and first aid.

Information on hazardous materials and safe handling procedures will be disseminated regularly via group and individual training, data sheets, manuals and Other aids. The aim will be to ensure that safe handling procedures are both known and understood by all concerned.

Safe Storage Handling information Cards for each chemical on site are to be kept in the care of the Engineering consultant. The cards are to be in accordance with AS 2508 -Safe Storage and Handling Information. If AS 2508 is not available the group test cards of AS 1678 Emergency procedure Guides Transport are to be provided.

SOLVENTS Solvents are not to be used with atomizing spray equipment

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 169 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

NEW PRODUCTS New chemical products are not to be brought on site without the clearance of the Safety Manager.

15.4 Asbestos and Fibres 15.4.1 Procedures a) It is the responsibility of Line Management to contact the ENGINEERING CONSULTANT Safety Officer for advice and assistance BEFORE work involving asbestos is commenced, including asbestos based materials such as asbestos pipes, asbestos sheets etc. or any identified material such as synthetic fibre. b) The ENGINEERING CONSULTANT Safety Officer will discuss safety arrangements with appropriate personnel and then advise the precautions to be taken before identified material is brought to a project At least twenty eight days prior notice must be given. c) Samples have to be taken for analysis if required. d) A written procedure must be developed for any work involving asbestos or synthetic fibre, and that procedure published and all employees advised of the procedure before work can commence. There are several Australian Standards which are relevant These are: - AS 1216 - Classification and Class Labels for Dangerous Goods. - AS 1319 - Safety Signs for the Occupational Environment - AS 1530 - Part 3, Test for Early Fire Hazard Properties of Materials. - AS 1715 - Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices. - AS 1 716 - Respiratory Protection Devices. - AS 2601 - The Demolition of Structures. - AS 2342 - Design and Use of Graphic Symbols and public Information Symbol Signs.

16 POWER TOOLS 16.1 Introduction and Hazards The majority of power driven hand tools accidents are caused by improper handling and poor maintenance of the equipment. Both of these can be overcome by supervision and proper training of the operators.

Power for hand tools is usually electricity, compressed air or explosive cartridges. Accidents with the first are commonly due to electric shock; with the second to poor maintenance of hose connections and the tool head, to noise and to horseplay with the high pressure hose; and with the third to inadequate instruction and improper operation.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 170 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

The following rules apply to all power tools: Good housekeeping is essential for good workmanship and safety. All tools must be neatly and correctly stowed when not in use. Work areas must be maintained in a clean and orderly fashion. Maintenance of the tools should be systematic. All tools should be cleaned and inspected regularly and those which are worn or damaged should be replaced or repaired immediately. Safety equipment such as guards and fuses must always be kept in position.

Protective clothing and equipment suitable for the work being Performed must be worn when necessary.

Only authorized and competent persons should be permitted to operate power tools.

16.2 Electric Tools - General Portable electric tools, used in construction - shall wherever practicable be the 430 / 230 volts type. A register of all hand tools on the site shall be kept by a person.

Portable electric tools are normally connected by three core flexible cables in which one of the cores, colored green, forms the earthing connection to the metal casing. It is essential that such cables be kept in good condition and earthing connection is efficiently maintained at all times.

All cables and plug and socket connectors must be maintained in good condition. Cables must be effectively attached to the plug connectors by efficient cord grips to relieve undue strain on the flexible cable. Damaged cables should be replaced at once.

Some Portable electric tools are constructed such that earthing of the casing is not necessary. Such tools must be tested and approved and display the special rectangular double insulation symbol.

Electrical tools should be isolated from the source of supply when changing attachments or making minor adjustments.

When electric tools are used in wet weather or conditions, all insulation must be sound, and protective systems tested regularly.

All Portable electrically operated tools must be tested and inspected by competent person when first received.

16.3 Portable Electric Drills Always provide a “starter” mark for the drill point. Always select correct bit for material being drilled and ensure that the bit is correctly sharpened.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 171 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

If bit is long enough to pass through material, protect against damage and injury on the far side.

Small pieces of work should be clamped or held down to prevent spinning by the drill. Care must be taken to prevent sleeves and other clothing from being caught around the drill. It is recommended that sleeves be rolled up above the elbow.

16.4 Portable Electric Grinders Grinder operators must be equipped with safety glasses, face shields and on some operations respiratory protection may be required.

The wheel or disc must be inspected regularly. Eye shields and respirators must be worn when dressing a grinding wheel.

Tool rests, if used, should be adjusted correctly. The rest should not be adjusted when the machine Is in motion.

Grinding wheels and discs should have the same maximum permissible working speed or a higher safe speed than the drive units maximum speed.

Hearing protection should be worn if job is identified as a noise hazard.

16.5 Compressed Air Tools A variety of tools, including hammers, drills, saws and vibrators are powered by compressed air.

Proper fire precautions should be observed in connection with the operation of mobile compressors; adequate ventilation must be provided and the exhaust taken to atmosphere.

Air supply lines should be protected from damage by vehicles, materials etc. and should be kept clear of walkways and access ways.

Supply hoses, pipes and couplings must be inspected regularly and damaged items must be promptly replaced or repaired. Couplings must be secured with safety pins or suitable locking pins.

Air supply hose carried overhead or vertically should be supported with a messenger cable, bridging or otherwise. It is not advisable to depend on an air hose providing its own support over a long span.

Noise may be a serious hazard - hearing protection shall be worn as directed.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 172 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

16.6 Manual Tools 16.6.1 Care of Tools All tools should be kept in safe working condition. Tool stores with suitable storage racks and bins shall be provided. Persons assigned to tool stores should be held responsible for the inspection and repair of tools. Defective tools shall not be issued. All tools should be kept dean and protected against corrosion and damage.

Cleaning procedure: Wipe off accumulated grease and dirt. Thoroughly dean with cleaning fluids or solvents when necessary and wipe dean. Moving and adjustable parts to be lubricated to prevent wear and misalignment.

Cutting edges must be kept sharp. Sharp tools improve accuracy and are safer than blunt tools. An oilstone or grindstone should be used for tool sharpening. If an abrasive wheel must be used, grind only a small amount at a time, with tool rest as correctly adjusted. The tool must be held lightly against the wheel to prevent overheating and dipped frequently in water to keep cool. This retains metal hardness and the cutting edge.

When not in use, tools should be safely stored or hung on racks. Cutting edges should be protected and tools should not be placed where they will roll off benches or tables. Storage area must be moisture free to prevent corrosion.

Heavier tools should be placed where they will not be tripped over and can be safely recovered.

All damaged or worn tools should be promptly repaired. Temporary and make shift repairs should be avoided. If tools cannot be repaired on site they should be sent off site immediately.

16.6.2 Safe Use of Tools Use the right tool for the job. The weight, size and type of tool should be selected to fit the job at hand. Do not substitute pliers for hammers, screwdrivers for pinch bars, chisels for screwdrivers etc.

All wooden or fitted handles should be checked carefully and secured with wedges when necessary also checked for splitting and cracking.

Most hand tools are potential conductors of electricity. Extreme caution must be used when working around electrical circuits and equipment Insulated and non-conducting tools should be tested frequently, under expert supervision.

Non-sparking tools must be used in the presence of flammable materials or explosive dusts and vapours.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 173 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

16.6.3 Hammers The head of the hammer should be firm, the shaft not split, the face true and not chipped.

16.6.4 Wrenches For safety and efficiency, the use of-. 1. Socket spanners 2. Ring spanners 3. Tubular spanners 4. Open-end spanners in that order are preferred to the use of wrenches. If wrenches must be used, select the right size and type for each job. Do not extend the wrench handle with pipe or other ‘cheater’ as jaws will spread.

A wrench must never be used as a hammer. Pipe or still son wrenches should not be used as monkey wrenches. Jaw corrugations on still son wrenches must be kept sharp and clean, and handles and adjusting screws (on all wrenches) must be kept in good condition.

Wrenches should always be placed on nuts with the jaw opening facing the direction the handle will move. Pull, do not push.

16.6.5 Chisels A chisel should be large enough for the job and should be driven with a hammer of sufficient weight.

Use the proper chisel correctly sharpened for the material being cut. A chisel should be held with steady but relaxed grip. The eyes should be kept on the cutting edge of the chisel.

If chisels are bring struck by other persons, the chisel should be held by tongs or some other suitable holding device.

Mushroomed chisels and cracked or broken chisel handles should be repaired or replaced. Goggles shall be worn when chipping. The person undertaking the chipping should direct the work away from himself. The person working and other persons should be protected with adequate screening.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 174 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

16.6.6 Punches Punch should be straight and should be suitable and heavy enough for the work. Points of centre punches should be accurately ground at all times, starting and pin punches should be squared.

Punches should be started with light taps, and held securely, especially on rounded surfaces.

When knocking out rivets and pins work must begin with starting punch and finish with a pin punch.

16.6.7 Screwdrivers Do not use a screwdriver as a chisel, pry-bar or for any other purpose than that intended. Keep tip ground properly, squared across and with square rather than tapered sides. Select screwdriver to fit size of screw being driven. Do not grind to a fine point to fit all sizes of screw heads. Handles should fit shank tightly.

Keep shank directly over screw being driven. Do not lean on screwdriver, or push with any more force than necessary to keep contact with screw. A screw properly piloted and fitted will draw itself into proper position when turned.

SCREWS MUST NOT BE HAMMRED INTO PLACE. Do not hold items in hand for screwing . Screws must be driven in / out using proper size screw drivers.

16.6.8 Files Files should be equipped with handles of proper size for file tang. Cut should be on forward pass of file. When teeth become clogged they may be cleaned with a file card. Clogged teeth may cause a file to slip, thus exposing hands to injury. The file may be tapped into the handle by striking the handle on a flat surface. The handle must not be driven onto the file with a hammer.

When small objects are filed, they must be clamped securely, or a vice used.

Files must not be used for pry-bars, punches etc. as file metal is usually very brittle and will- snap or shatter.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 175 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

16.6.9 Hacksaws The correct blade should be selected for the material to be cut; the blade teeth should point forward. The blade should be rigid and the frame should be property aligned. Strong, steady strokes, directed away from the user, should be employed. The entire length of blade should be used each stroke. Harder materials should be cut more slowly than soft materials.

Thin flat pieces should not be cut from edge to edge, but should be securely clamped and cut so that several teeth are cutting at all times.

16.6.10 Pliers Pliers should be used only when no other tool will do the job. Never use pliers as wrenches. Cutting pliers should be used only for cutting soft metals, never hardened metals or as nail pullers. Approved insulated pliers must be used for electrical work.

17 CONFINED SPACE 17.1 Definition A confined space means tank, vessel, hopper, pipe, or any other like structure or appliance whether fixed or mobile and whether or not forming part of the plant or equipment of the project in which: a) Dangerous fumes or gases are likely to be present at any time, or b) The atmosphere is liable at anytime to contain insufficient oxygen for normal respiration and which any person may at anytime enter or be allowed to enter, or c) The access and/or egress to or from an enclosed space is severely restricted.

17.2 Introduction When entry has to be made to a tank, vessel, hopper or an area where there is a constricted opening, consideration must be given to the safety of persons working in such a location, not only from adequate ventilation but other aspects such as fire risk, ease of, access and emergency access must be catered for.

Close the shutter of the gauge if it is safe to do so.

Fire Officers are to be made aware of the location and relative hazard of all radioactive sources. b) Accident involving damage to the source container. Close the shutter of the gauge if it is safe to do so. If it is suspected that the source has been ruptured, determine what persons may have been subject to contamination. It may be necessary to isolate the area concerned until monitoring can be arranged. c) Accident involving major damage to the source container: Proceed as in (2), but without attempting to closely approach the housing or turn off the shutter. d) Loss of Radioactive Source: If it is suspected that a source has been lost or stolen, the responsible person must be informed and a thorough search made using the monitoring instrument.

18.5 Transport and Storage of X-Ray Equipment The handing and transportation of X-ray equipment shall always be carried out b classified persons.

With X-ray equipment no special storage facilities are required other than protection against theft and vandalism. A lockable storeroom will suffice.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 182 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

The following Points shall be regularly observed: a) all cables shall be checked frequently for cuts or damage; b) all connections shall be correctly and securely coupled, including earth; c) protective caps on plugs and sockets shall be replaced after use to prevent ingress of dust and moisture; d) watertight connectors shall be used on extension leads; e) the efficient operation of warning devices shall be checked. 18.6 Emergencies with X-Ray Equipment General The most likely type of emergency with X-ray equipment is the exposure of persons to X-- rays as a result of either the machine being energized unintentionally or of persons getting past barriers unnoticed.

Action by Radiographer - X-rays

SWITCH off the machine.

LEAVE everything exactly as it was until it can be seen by the competent person.

ASK any person who may have been exposed to the X-rays to remain at the work site for questioning. If they are unable to stay due to the end of their shift, obtain their names, addresses and telephone number so that they can be contacted if necessary.

INFORM the Superintendent or Project Engineer what has happened. Notify the competent person, who will summon any other necessary assistance.

Action by Competent Person The most important action when persons may have been exposed to X-rays is to establish the extent of their exposure. The radiation output of X-rays machines depends very greatly on the exact operating conditions and the only satisfactory method of laboratories will be used to carry out this measurement

It is for this reason that the X-ray machine should not be moved or if this is unavoidable its position should be marked to ensure that the circumstances prevailing at the time of the emergency can be reproduced. The following action shall be taken:

If it is suspected that Classified Workers are involved:

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 183 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 a) Remove them from work involving ionizing radiations until their doses have been assessed. b) Ask the government health services for assistance in assessing their doses. c) Send their film badges to an approved laboratory for urgent examination. d) Make a full investigation of the circumstances, taking written statements from the radiographers, including details of where they were in relation to the X-ray machine and for how long. Obtain similar information for any other person who may have been exposed to the X-rays and ask the government health services for assistance in assessing the doses received. If it appears likely that any person may have received an excessive exposure, notify the Medic and Construction Superintendent. Medical examinations including taking samples of blood may then be arranged for those concerned.

18.7 Safe use of Lasers Low powered lasers are now becoming common on many sites for surveying, levelling, control and alignment tasks. Most of these lasers are above the power classification which is considered “inherently safe”, but users should be aware that with the application of simple rules and common sense practices, the potential for injury is effectively non existent.

The types of lasers in use are predominantly Class 2 and Class 3A Helium-Neon lasers which emit visible red light. Some Class 3B lasers are also used, but they are dealt with separately in this section. All these lasers are of powers no greater than 5 milliwatts and as such present an injury hazard only to the eye. Class 2 and Class 3A lasers are considered to be effectively safe because the blink reflex of the eye averts any prolonged exposure (the reflex time is assumed to be no longer than a quarter of a second). Nevertheless, adequate precautions should still be taken to avoid inadvertent exposure to the laser beam.

Working Rules for Class 2 and Class 3A Lasers: Place the laser if possible well above or below the eye level.

Avoid staring directly at the laser beam or any of its reflections from shiny (specular) surfaces.

Remove all unnecessary shiny objects that may give rise to reflections.

Display area warning signs inside and outside the work area and on doors giving access to the area.

Do not deliberately aim the laser beam at other personnel.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 184 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Use wherever possible electronic sensors or matt (non-reflective) targets for aligning the laser beam.

Terminate fixed beam (i.e. non-rotating) type lasers with a non-reflective, opaque barrier at the boundary of the operational area.

Rigidly mount the laser so that it cannot accidentally be realigned.

Store the laser in such a way that unauthorized personnel cannot gain access.

Operators are to note that the actual working rules for any site are at the discretion or me Laser Safety Officer and in some circumstances these may be different from those above. It is the Laser Safety Officer’s responsibility to ensure that the level of site safety is at least that implied by working rules above.

19 VEHICLES AND MOBILE EQUIPMENT 19.1 Light Vehicles A person to drive a vehicle or piece of mobile equipment is required to ensure that the vehicle or equipment is in a safe operable condition prior to commencing operation.

All vehicles and mobile equipment must be regularly maintained as per manufacturers requirements, log books if provided must be maintained.

Any accident or incident (near miss) must be reported to a supervisor immediately.

Safety requirements for fuelling are to be followed at all times.

Site speed limits shall be adhered to at all times.

Always operate any vehicle or equipment at a safe speed, this may be less than the area speed limit.

Do not leave a vehicle running when unattended (some heavy equipment may be exempted).

A person may not drive any vehicle or mobile equipment unless he/she is authorized to do so.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 185 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Where seatbelts are to be worn they shall be worn.

Care should be taken at all times when reversing. Reversing horns are fitted to larger vehicles to be used on a project. It is a prerequisite to the vehicles operation that a reversing horn if fitted is operational.

Hazardous substances or materials such as acids, poisons, flammable gas, etc shall not be carried in vehicles unless proper precautions are taken for load security and emergency procedures.

19.2 Off Road Vehicles and Mobile Equipment The drivers of heavy vehicles must always be aware of the limitations that such machines have, particularly in the areas of visibility, speed and maneuverability.

The vehicle must always be driven at a speed that allows complete control of the vehicle taking into account road and weather conditions.

Wherever possible, heavy equipment should be isolated from light vehicles with either separate roads or signed travel ways.

Prior to starting operation, the driver shall conduct a full pre-start check of the machine. The manufacturers recommended startup procedure should always be followed.

Machines should always be parked on level ground with transmission control locks engaged, and park brake engaged. When this is not possible, suitable chocking or restraining devices must be utilized. Windscreens and mirrors must be always kept clean.

20 COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS 20.1 Introduction Compressed gases of many types are used on a project from compressed air, oxygen and helium to LPG, acetylene and other flammable gases. With all compressed air or liquid cylinders stringent safe rules apply. All personnel must be aware of the identification, usage and storage requirements for all types of cylinders on a project

20.2GeneralProcedures Storage of Gas Cylinders a) Storage areas to be well clear of buildings. Wherever practicable covering from direct sunlight should be provided and the area well ventilated. Storage areas are to be kept free from all combustible materials.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 186 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Full cylinders are to be kept apart from empty cylinders so that it will not be necessary to open valves to check whether cylinders are empty or full. Empty cylinders are to be marked with the letters “M.T.” to avoid confusion. b)Cylinders are always to stand upright. Special stands are to be used or cylinders chained in the upright position. Cylinders are to be stored in rows with aisles in between for easy removal in the event of fire. c)Empty cylinders are to be immediately returned to the empties store. Before being stored away a check is to be made that valves have been tightly closed. d)Notices prohibiting smoking and naked lights as well as notices describing the colour code for cylinder contents are to be prominently displayed. e)Cylinders contents must be checked for compatibility when different gases are intended to be stored together.

Inspections All Cylinders are to be inspected before accepting them to ensure that they are not leaking. Brushing of valve assemblies with a soap solution is recommended for this operation.

Leaks If a cylinder in the storage area is found to be leaking, it is to be removed to a safe area and safety section advised immediately.

21 WORK PERMITS 21.1 Work Permit Procedures Work Permit systems constitute the most formal and detailed method of ensuring safe systems of work. They should be reserved for circumstances where the potential hazards involved are severe and the Precautions to be taken are complex and need positive enforcement.

Types of permit: a) Confined Space entry b) Hot Work c) Cold Work d) Excavation

The Work Permit Certificate should be regarded as a written agreement between the person authorizing the work, (referred on the certificate as the Authorized Person) and the person or Organization receiving it.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 187 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Authorized Persons are to be for each project by the Engineering consultant.

Work Permits are to be produced in pads. Each permit is to be in triplicate with each copy a different colour. Each of these sets is to be given a specific serial number to avoid confusion. The distribution of the copies is shown below. a) Top (yellow) copy to be issued to and retained by the supervisor in charge of the work. b) First (pink) copy to be placed in a clear plastic envelope and displayed at the point of work. c) Both the above copies are to be returned to the Authorized Person on completion of the work for destruction. d) Second (blue) copy to be retained in the pad for record purposes and is to contain the necessary confirmation of work completed and ‘cancellation’ signatures.

21.2 Tag Out Procedures-Danger Tags Introduction Danger tags are to be used on site to protect people. The Tag Out procedure is designed to prevent equipment being made “LIVE” during the progress of the work

An important aspect of the Danger Tag system is that it applies equally to all tradesmen, who will work on the equipment

Placing and Removing of Danger Tags on Equipment If there is danger from an unexpected release of Electricity, steam or gas from, equipment under repair or maintenance, the tradesman in question is to place a Danger Tag on the main isolating switch or valve or equipment.

Each Danger Tag placed is to have clearly printed on it the date and name of the person placing the tag.

Nobody is to touch the Danger-tagged switch, control etc. until the necessary job is finished and the danger tags have been removed.

Only the person who places the tag is permitted to remove it. Should he be definitely unavailable, his foreman or superintendent in charge of that section, may do so only after he has fully investigated the situation PERSONALLY, and is sure it is safe to remove the tag.

If at the end of a shift the equipment or machinery is still unsafe, the person placing a Danger Tag is to take it off and secure in its place an Out of Service Tag.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 188 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

When two or more people are working on the same job, each is to fasten a separate Danger Tag to the main isolating switch etc.

The supervisor or person in charge is to investigate the work area and fasten his own Danger Tag to any point which, if operated, would be dangerous to men or machines. He is then responsible for seeing that ALL men in his group have removed their Danger Tags and are safe BEFORE he removes his own Tag.

21.3 Tag Out Procedures- Out of Service Tags Introduction Out of Service Tags are coloured yellow and black.

These show equipment or machinery out of action for repairs or alterations, to prevent damage to plant if switch-valve etc. is operated.

Machinery or equipment with Out of Service Tags fixed is not to be worked except with direct permission of the superintendent or person in charge of the machinery or equipment.

If machinery or equipment is faulty or damaged, and using it would cause more damage or could injure somebody, an Out of Service Tag is to be fastened to it and the supervisor informed immediately.

Work Extending over a Shift

If faulty or incomplete equipment cannot be brought into hill working order before the end of a shift, the person in charge of the task is to fix an Out of Service Tag on the main isolating switches or control before the Danger Tags are removed. He is then to tell his supervisor and the supervisor of any other department in which he may be working, what he has done.

When the servicing or installation is commenced every person on the task is to attach his own Danger Tag, as explained for the Danger Tag System.

When the task is finished and the equipment is safe to operate, the supervisor will see that each man removes his Danger Tag and is safely clear and finally will remove the Out of Service Tags.

22 PRESSURE TESTING 22.1 Introduction The safe pressure testing of process plant while still on the construction site will require carefully controlled interface with all onsite operators to ensure protection of personnel and plant The types of equipment incorporated into testing programmes are: heaters, boilers, heat exchangers, storage tanks, pressure vessels, piping, drains, etc.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 189 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

22.2 Documentation Prior, to the commencement of any form of testing activity on the project the following documentation is required: Detailed written test procedure describing tests to be performed, invitations to the tests and safety precautions to be observed.

All relevant certificates relative to the works, including mechanical acceptance certificates must be attached to the test procedure (copies).

Formal system of recording and approving all test procedures, results and any variations. 22.3 Selecting Test Medium The test medium must be selected with considerable care as incorrect selection can create serious hazards if given the wrong conditions or residual material may create ongoing hazards during commissioning.

The test medium must be compatible to all equipment and materials for the test.

Maximum and minimum temperatures must be determined in relation to applicable codes for the equipment to be tested, particularly pressure vessels.

If water (hydraulic) is to be used, considerations should include: a) Temperature ranges b) Compatibility with ongoing use of equipment or established and acceptable flushing or decontamination procedures. c) Chemical makes up of local domestic water or bore water and its compatibility to the project for testing.

Pneumatic testing creates a store of high potential energy which has high associated hazards as detailed below.

Vacuum testing should only be conducted on equipment so designed for such tests, instruments and other auxiliary gear need to be isolated prior to such test.

22.4 Pre-Test Whichever medium is selected it is important that prior to filling, pressurizing etc the complete system is thoroughly checked for completion and readiness for the test.

All pressure relief devices must be either removed or isolated from the test, all fittings not suitably rated must be suitably isolated, if the test involves immediate flushing in hydraulic testing valves, orifice plates, pumps and heat exchanges should be excluded from the test system.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 190 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

When filling with the test medium it will be necessary to vent air from high points. When emptying the system a vacuum should be avoided by opening vents, admitting air or using an inert gas, all low points must be opened to ensure complete draining. Under some circumstances ft may be necessary to follow a drainage procedure by a drying procedure.

22.5 Pneumatic Testing Due to the compressibility of air, a pneumatic test represents a large store of potential energy, if any equipment were to fail under test then the consequential damage to personnel and surrounding plant could be extensive. Pneumatic tests, therefore should only be used when no other alternative is available and even then only under strictly controlled conditions.

Note: Some tightness testing may involve very low pressures and where these are used some exemptions to the following may be given by the Safety Section: a) Testing may only be performed under the direct supervision of an experienced engineer or person by the Engineering consultant. b) All personnel involved in the testing procedure must be aware of and trained in the procedures to be implemented and the hazards associated with the test. c) Compressors used, either plant or portable, mast produce oil free and cool air, oily discharge over 1400C could result in explosion. d) No personnel shall be permitted within a 20 metre radius of a system under test this area shall be roped off and signed with suitable warning signs to read High Pressure Testing and Danger. e) The rate of pressure increase shall be designated as part of the procedure and at least three inspections at phased intervals shall be performed during which time pressurisation shall be suspended.

22.6 Hydraulic Testing Prior to testing if water is to be used the system should be checked and calculations made to ensure the system and supporting structures are designed to withstand the additional weight loadings.

Items that need to be isolated from the test need to be identified within the procedure and a check system used to ensure the relative equipment or apparatus has been isolated.

Test pressure calculations must be obtained from the designer and approved by the Project Engineer.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 191 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Only approved pressurizing equipment may be used and operation of the unit shall only be by an authorized person suitably trained in its use.

Signs shall be located around the equipment being tested warning of testing in progress and to keep clear.

Arrangement should be made for safe disposal of the water at completion of the test.

23 HOUSEKEEPING 23.1 Introduction Good Housekeeping means maintaining the necessary standards of domestic cleanliness and tidiness to make sites and workplaces safe, healthy, pleasant places at which to work. It may be summarized by the phrase ‘A place for everything and everything in its place. The base civil contractor is responsible for House keeping , removable of Debris, at all times even when other agencies start their works. The contract package shall include all incidental costs of removal and transport of Debris even of other agencies clear off the site., for the entire duration of the contract.

23.2 Objectives The objectives of a Housekeeping Programmed are: a) The elimination of accident and dire hazards. b) The conservation of space, time, material and effort. c) To obtain and maintain good working conditions.

23.3 Floors and Access Stairways Stairways are to be kept clear of all construction materials and must be properly lit. Handrails are to be provided.

Treads are to be of a non-slip substance as slips can result in serious falls. If possible, outside stairways should be covered to keep off rain.

Design should not include long flights. Landings are recommended every tenth or twelfth tread.

Circular stairways should be avoided, but if absolutely necessary, should be designed with a minimum variation in tread width. Treads should be covered with a durable anti-slip material.

Lighting Inadequately lit work areas are often the cause of accumulations of rubbish, scrap etc. All workplaces, passageways and stairways are to be adequately lit and free from shadows.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 192 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Sudden transitions from brightly lit to dimly illuminated areas and vice versa are dangerous, because of momentary blindness caused to persons passing through.

All light fittings, windows and roof lights are to be regularly cleaned and defective light bulbs replaced (first ensuring the current is switched off).

The base civil contractor is responsible for adequate lighting of all areas during the course of construction

Even in areas where he may not have work to do.

Lighting at site boundaries and approaches is to be adequate.

Access Ways and Passageways Access ways and passageways are to be kept dear at all times.

Access ways are to be so arranged that they are the easiest means of going through a site, thereby reducing the temptation to employees to take short cuts and walk through operating areas and near other equipment.

Stacked materials are not to project into access ways or passageways.

Overhead Walkways and Ramps Nothing is to be thrown down or dropped from one level to another.

Tools etc. are not to be placed on overhead locations, such as scaffolding, window ledges or shelves, where they could fall and strike people working below. In such locations suitable protection is to be installed to prevent tools, materials etc. failing.

Regular inspections of overhead walkways etc. are to be carried out to ensure that no loose materials etc. are left around.

Floors Floors, passageways, walkways etc. are to be kept clear of small articles, tools, scrap metal or any other working material when any of these are no longer in use. Oils, grease, chips or other material which can be the cause of slipping or falling are to be removed.

Floors are to be cleaned frequently and kept in good condition, firm and level. Worn spots and other defects are to be reported for repair immediately.

Inclined ramps are to have raised slats fixed on their surface, with an opening to enable

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 193 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2 wheelbarrows etc. to be moved along them.

Material Storage Improper stacking and storage of materials is a major safety hazard.

Inside stacking is to be done in specially designated places and located in such a manner as to minimize the hazard of a stack falling. The stacked materials are not to present a tripping hazard.

Clearance is to be allowed between the ceilings and the tops of stacks to allow fire protection, if installed, to function.

In the stacking of bulky objects, specially designed guards are to be provided to prevent the rolling and shifting of the material into aisles or places where people are working.

Stacked materials on working platforms are to be protected against falling by wire mesh guards or other suitable means.

23.4 Tools Small tools and implements are not to be left lying around where they may present a slipping or tripping hazard.

Tool bins are to be provided for picks, shovels and similar tools. Storage places are to be located conveniently where personnel will use them.

Tool cribs and racks will do much to encourage good housekeeping and promote efficiency.

Tool box and site box lids should be propped open to prevent finger and hand injuries.

23.5 Offices Good housekeeping procedures are as necessary in the office as on a site. All passageways are to be kept open and free from obstruction.

Books and papers are to be kept in their proper place and not permitted to lie on the floor or scattered about on tables.

Drawers on filing cabinets are not to be allowed to remain open and only one drawer at a time is to be opened; if all drawers are left open there is a danger of the cabinet falling over. On no account are the drawers of filing cabinets to be used as steps.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 194 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

23.6 Dumps for Scrap It is good practice to demarcate three areas for scrap - one for the useful, another for the saleable and another for dirt or refuse. Label them with suitable notices. As the heaps grow it will show dramatically how much valuable material has been recovered and how much refuse and filth has been disposed of

REMEMBER NO JOB IS EVER FINISHED UNTIL IT HAS BEEN CLEARED UP. Loose Timber When shuttering is stripped, all loose timber must be carefully stacked and removed. Loose timber with protruding nails is a major source of accidents, therefore all nails will be removed or bent over to prevent penetration wounds etc.

24 SPRAYPAINTING AND SAND BLASTING 24.1 Introduction Sand Blasting and Spray Painting whilst being potentially hazardous in the immediate area the task is being performed, can also create a potentially hazardous environment in the area surrounding the particular job being performed.

In particular, the sand particles used in the sand blasting process can create eye injury, respiratory hazards, or abrasion hazard from direct contact with the blast nozzle.

In the spray painting process, a number of potential hazards also exist, from the risk of explosion from solvents and thinners, to respiratory hazards, dermatitis and eye injury.

24.2 Spray painting Wherever possible Spray Painting will be conducted within an appropriate spray booth designed for the specific purpose, with adequate exhaust ventilation and exhaust filtering to suit.

Where a spray painting process is conducted outside a spray booth, the area within 6 metres in any horizontal direction and to a height of 2 metres above the object being sprayed, shall be considered a hazardous area.

In the case of the spray painting being conducted outside, the restricted area shall be identified by bunting and signs indicating” Spray Painting in Progress and also “No Smoking”

Personnel involved in spray painting shall wear Personal Protective Equipment in accordance with AS 1 715-1982.

24.3 Sand Blasting Wherever possible, Sand Blasting will be conducted within an appropriate sand blasting booth designed for the specific purpose, with adequate exhaust ventilation and exhaust filtering to suit.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 195 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

As in the case of spray painting, if the process is to be conducted outside a booth, the area within 6 metres in any horizontal direction and to a height of 2 metres above and where necessary below the area being blasted shall be designated a hazardous area, and the appropriate bunting and warning signs indicating “Sand Blasting in Progress” will be posted.

Personnel involved in sand blasting shall wear Personal Protective Equipment in accordance with AS 1 716-1984.

Any person who is involved in the cleaning of an area that has been used for sand blasting shall wear Personal Protective Equipment in accordance with A51716-1994.

24.4 Restricted Areas Under certain conditions, it may be necessary to establish a restricted area and restricted access to the area when Sand Blasting and/or Spray Painting are being conducted.

Under these conditions the area will be designated by bunting at least 6 metres from the actual work area, and entry and exit registers maintained to monitor personnel movements within the restricted areas.

At each and every access point to an area being blasted or spray-painted, an intermittent signal light shall be positioned, and activated whenever the process is in progress to alert personnel of the hazard and the restricted area. A, sign shall be posted at each entry to indicate “NO UNAUTHORISED ENTRY WHEN LIGHT IS ACTTVATED”

25.0 EXCAVATION AND TRENCHING 25.1 Purpose There can be many hazards associated with Excavation and Trenching. Cave-ins can occur with unsupported or improperly sloped side walls and employees can be exposed to equipment or materials falling or working too close to excavations. Other hazards may exist when excavating areas where utilities such as electrical or pipelines are located. This procedure will provide guidance for the protection of personnel working in and around excavations and trenches.

25.2 Scope This procedure applies to all TICEL construction projects.

25.3 Definitions Excavation Any man made cavity or depression in the earth’s surface formed by earth removal which produces unsupported earth conditions by reason of the excavation work.

Trenches A narrow excavation below the surface of the ground, with its width at the lowest level below ground surface not greater than 4

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 196 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

metres. Competent Person One who has had specific training in and is knowledgeable about soil classifications, the use of protective systems and requirements of the standards. Documentation and data to establish this requirement must be on file at the project. He/she must also be capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are hazardous, unsanitary or dangerous to employees and must have the authority to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

Professional Engineer Same as “Competent Person!’ but is required to approve Excavation Permits for excavations greater than 6 metres in depth. The professional engineer will also be responsible for approving and designing protective systems.

Benching This is a method of protecting employees from cave-ins by shaping thesides of an excavation to form one or a series of horizontal levels or steps, usually with near vertical surfaces between levels.

25.4 General Requirements 25.4.1 Prior to commencing an excavation or trench, appropriate area Owners shall be contacted and advised of the proposed work, to determine the location of all underground installations; i.e., sewer, telephone, water, fuel, electric and gas lines. Overhead hazards are to be assessed and dealt with at this time also.

25.4.2 Excavations and trenches as well as adjacent areas shall be inspected by a competent person daily, after every rainfall, as soil conditions change and as needed throughout the shift. If there is evidence of possible slides or cave-ins, indications or failure of protective systems, hazardous atmosphere, or other hazardous conditions, necessary safety precautions must be taken before any additional work in that section of the excavations begins.

25.4.3 Employees shall not work in excavations where water is accumulating unless adequate precautions have been taken to protect employees against the hazard posed by the water accumulation. If water accumulation is controlled or prevented by water removal equipment, the competent person must monitor the removal activities to ensure proper operation.

25.4.4 If the stability of buildings or walls are endangered by an excavation or trench shoring, bracing or underpinning will be provided. Excavations and trenches that are adjacent to backfilled excavations or trenches or which are subject to vibrations from road traffic or the operation of machinery, (e.g., shovels, cranes and trucks), will be secured by a support system, shield system or other protective system, (e.g., sheet piled, shored and braced).

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 197 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

25.5 Access In trenches one metre or more in depth, ladders, steps, ramps or other safe means of access and egress shall be provided and located at intervals of seven metres or less of lateral travel. If a ladder is used, the ladder will extend one metre above the original surface of the ground and must be secured.

Walkways, ramps and bridges with standard guardrails will be provided at all excavations and trenches where employees are required or permitted to cross over. The crossing will be made of tightly secured uniformly sized planking.

25.6 Set Back Employees shall be protected from excavated or other materials or equipment that could pose a hazard by falling or rolling into excavations. Protection shall be provided by placing and keeping such materials or equipment at least one metre from the edge of the excavation or by the use of retaining devices that are sufficient to prevent materials or equipment from falling or rolling into excavations or by a combination of both if necessary.

25.7 Equipment

When mobile equipment of any type is utilized or permitted to operate adjacent to excavations or trenches, barricades or “stop” logs will be provided. All wells, pits, shafts or other similar ground fall hazards will be barricaded or covered.

No one will be allowed under loads handled by shovels, derricks or hoists or near vehicles being loaded by such equipment. Employees exposed to vehicular traffic operating in the area of excavations or trenches will be provided with and instructed to wear warning vests or other personal protective equipment marked with or reflectorised or highly visible material

No digging, lifting or hauling equipment shall be operated within two metres of the edge of an excavation unless *proved by a “Competent Person or Professional Engineer’.

25.8 Record Keeping A copy of all completed Excavation and Trenching Permits to be retained for one year. Relevant Trenching and Excavation Standards should be consulted for other items and circumstances, some of which include; • Structural ramp requirements for access and egress (personnel or equipment). • Water removal from excavation. • Protective system damage. • Manufacturers approval to deviate from standards. • Support system removal

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 198 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

25.9 Excavation Protective Systems (Protection of Employees) Each employee in an excavation shall be protected from cave-ins by an adequate protective system.

Protective systems shall have the capacity to resist all loads that are intended or could reasonably be expected to be applied or transmitted to the system.

Side, slopes and faces of all excavations will be scaled, benched, rock-bolted, wire-meshed or secured by some other equally effective means. Portable trench shields may be used instead of shoring or sloping. Such boxes or shields must be of strength at least equivalent to the sheeting or shoring that would be required in the face of the nature of the soil or material in which the trench is made. The requirements below for the appropriate option must be followed and properly documented.

Exceptions to these include:

Excavations that are made entirely in stable rock. (Natural solid mineral matter that can be excavated with vertical sides and remain intact while exposed.) Must be classified by a competent person.

Excavations that are less than two metres in depth, where examination of the ground by a competent person provides no indication of a potential cave-in.

25.10 Soil Classification When using protective systems requiring soil classification each soil and rock deposit shall be classified by a competent person as “Stable Rock’, Type A, Type B or Type C”. The classification shall be made on the results of at least one (1) visual and at least one (1) manual analysis shall be conducted by a competent person using acceptable visual and manual tests or other recognized method of soil classification. The manual test consists of soil plasticity, dry strength, thumb penetration, pocket penetrometer or results from a hand operated shearvane. The tests will be documented, signed and dated by the competent person.

25.11 Sloping-Benching System The slopes and -configurations of sloping and benching systems for excavations two metres to six metres in depth must be selected and constructed by the owner or his/her designee and shall be in accordance with the following requirements.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 199 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Soil analysis must be done to determine the soil or rock type by a competent person.

Soil or Rock Type Maximum Allowable Slope (Horizontal Allowable Slope) Stable Rock Vertical 900 Type A 27cm: 30cm 530 Type-B 30cm: 30cm450 Type C 45cm: 30cm 340 NOTE Simple slope excavations in Type A soil, which are open 24 hours or less (short term) and which are greater than three metres in depth shall be 27cm H: IV(540)

The soil must be classified as Type A by the competent person. The required permit and classification must be filed on the project.

No soil classification is required if 45cm: 30cm (Horizontal: Vertical) or340 is not used, a soil classification must be made. The excavation must comply with applicable Government standards.

25.12 Support System, Shield System or other Protective System Designs of support systems, shield systems and other protective systems shall be selected and constructed by the owner or designee and shall be in accordance with applicable Government standards.

25.13 Permit System An Excavation and Trenching Permit must be completed for all excavations other than those utilizing the 45cm horizontal to 30 cm vertical (340 ) slope.

26.0 HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAMME 26.1 General The hazard communication program is necessary to ensure that all contractors employees receive information about chemicals in the workplace.

The Contractor will provide each party with any information that it received pertaining to chemicals and process materials which are or may be placed in the project area included in the Contractor’s Scope of Work. Information may include such documents as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s), chemical information summary sheets, chemical handling procedures, etc.

26.4 Responsibility

26.4.1 Each contractor is responsible for the development and implementation of a hazard communication programmed which shall apply to the scope of work for the project(s) performed for TICEL. The contractor shall maintain a complete chemical hazard information data base (MSDS’s) and will transmit the information to affected employees and other subcontractors. Information may be transmitted via labels, MSDS’s and training programmes.

26.4.2 It is the responsibility of contractor employees to use the information given to them and to protect themselves and their co-workers at all times against chemical hazards. When contractor employees believe that hazard information is missing or inadequate, they will be instructed by the ‘Contractor to request additional information from their supervisor. Contractor management will make every effort to obtain adequate information and to review the information with affected personnel.

26.5 Programmed Elements 26.5.1 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS): An MSDS shall be on file at the project site for each hazardous chemical substance, or mixture present at the site or intended for use at the site.

Copies of the MSDS’s will be used for indoctrinating and training contractor employees and will be readily accessible to the contractor employees.

Copies of the MSDS’s will also be provided to the ENGINEERING CONSULTANT Safety Officer prior to bringing chemicals on site.

Copies of the MSDS’s will be made readily available to all affected subcontractors and other contractors and their employees associated with the project.

26.5.2 Labeling Contractors are responsible for proper and adequate labeling of containers of hazardous chemicals which are delivered to the TICEL work site.

While it is recognized that it is the responsibility of the chemical manufacturer to label chemical containers, it shall be the responsibility of the contractor to determine the adequacy of the labels and to maintain labels on containers so they remain legible.

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 202 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Containers of hazardous chemicals shall be labeled with the name of the chemical or substance and the appropriate hazard warning (defined below) and the name and location of the manufacturer. Appropriate hazard warnings shall consist of words, numbers, symbols, or pictures which are clearly understandable to the average English speaking person. When necessary, foreign language translation of labels will also be added. Where a number or code system is used, a key to the code system will be included as part of the container label. Hazard warnings may consist of the NFPA Fire Hazard System (Hazard, Flammability and Reactivity code numbers), physical hazard warnings and a hazard statement.

The NFPA system consists of the familiar blue, red, yellow and white diamond filled with numerical ratings from 0 to 4 for the categories of health, flammability and reactivity. The white space on the diamond is available for symbols warning against water contact, oxidizers and so forth. The source for these ratings is NFPA 325M-1094, “Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases and Volatile Solids”. This system is chosen because it is in wide use and the information is important for fire fighters and/or emergency response teams.

The physical hazard warning will consist of one or more words which describe the major physical hazard(s) posed by the chemical. The physical hazard categories include, but are not limited to the following: Combustible Compressed Gas Explosive Flammable Organic Peroxide Oxidizer Pyrophoric Unstable Water - Reactive The health hazard warning will consist of a word or short phrase which conveys the major health hazard(s) posed by a hazardous chemical. The health categories include, but are not limited to the following: Corrosive Known Carcinogen Suspect Carcinogen Inhalation Hazard Irritant Narcotic Neurotoxin Poison Radioactive

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 203 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

Reproductive Toxin Sensitizer Skin Absorption Hazard Skin Contact Hazard - Acidic Skin Contact Hazard - Caustic The hazard statement will consist of a short statement which conveys hazard information important to the user of the chemical. These statements will be specific to the chemical or family of chemicals in the container. The target organ which may be affected by over exposure may be included in this statement.

When hazardous chemicals are transferred to other containers, the new containers must be fully labeled as described below.

Transfers must be made only to “approved” containers (e.g., safety cans for flammables). Transfers to containers still labeled with previous contents or transfers to food containers (e.g., soft drink cans or bottles) are strictly prohibited.

26.6 Chemical List and Inventory A list showing the chemical or substance name, amount, the type of container and locations for storage and use shall be prepared by the contractor for all chemicals anticipated for use on TICEL projects. A copy of the list will be forwarded to the ENGINEERING CONSULTANT Safety Officer prior to delivery of Chemicals to the project site.

An inventory record for all hazardous chemicals will be developed and maintained. The inventory record will show in addition to the information required in the list maintained above, the dates shipments were taken from inventory use. Both the list and the inventory record must be signed by an authorized representative of the contractor.

26.7 Education and Training It is the responsibility of each contractor to conduct adequate training of their employees on the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed. Training requirements include initial training and specific training for both existing employees and new-hire employees who may be exposed to chemical hazards.

Existing and new-hire employees will receive “Hazard Communication” training which covers the general provisions governing chemical hazard communication, employee’s rights under the law, how the programmed works, what an MSDS is and how to read it and the basic concepts of toxicology (dose response concepts, routes of entry, hazard categories, etc).

Employees will receive training specific to those chemicals they will handle or to which they may otherwise be exposed, safe work procedures to be followed in working with specific chemicals, methods of determining that unacceptable exposures are occurring or are threatening to occur, protective measures to be taken to prevent exposures from occurring

TAAMAESEK ENGINEERING CONSORTIUM Page 204 of 213 Engineering Consultant TICEL BIO PARK – II Vol-2

(personal protective clothing and devices etc) and emergency procedures.

An examination will be given to employees upon completion of training to test their comprehension of the materials presented. Workers who do not pass the examinations will be given additional training to raise their comprehension to an acceptable level.

Each contractor will develop a written hazard communication training programmed and will submit a copy of the programmed to the ENGINEERING CONSULTANT Safety Officer.
