10. Access to Working Areas Below Ground Level: For excavation depth
exceeding 1.5M (but less than 3M) and of minimum size of 1M x 3M
(Width x Length), a steel step ladder with tread 30cm and rise 15cm and
with hand rails should be used for way in / out. If the depth of excavation
is more than 3M then an access steel tower staircase should be used.
When the size of excavation being carried out mechanically is quite large
with minimum width of 3M and length at least two times the width then
for depth exceeding 1.5M (but less than 3M) steps cut in firm ground at
least at two locations may serve the purpose, if approved by Site In-
charge. For deep excavations more than one steel tower staircase accesses
are required.
11. Access to Working Areas Above Ground Level: Working above ground level
or work at height means work in any place where, if precautions were not
taken, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury. You
are working at height if you: 1) work above ground/ floor level. 2) are
working on a ladder or a flat roof 3) could fall from an edge, through an
opening or fragile surface or a hole in the ground. For access to / out of
working areas at height steel step ladders with tread 30cm and rise 15cm
and with hand rails should be used. The working platform (steel only)
should be stable without any slippery surface, with 15cm toe board and
guard rails at 90cm and 120 cm heights. While working at heights, the
workers should wear body harness belts and the hooks should be
anchored with solid and non yielding support above shoulder height,
always.
12. All fall prone areas such as slabs, opening in slabs, column heads, bridges
during erection etc. should be protected by hard barricades like pipe
barricades.
13. Provide Fire Extinguishers/ Fire Stand at each flammable locations and as
suggested by the Safety Officer/ the Engineer/ the Project Head.
14. Suitable Storage space for storage of Oxygen and LPG Cylinders as per
standards is to be developed by the Contractor/ Agency.
15. For metal cutting works, a trolley shall be used to carry cylinders. The use
of good conditioned gas pipes shall be ensured and non-return valves and
flash back arrestors shall be used at either end of each pipe. The Cutter
shall always use good quality goggles.
16. The welding shall be carried out using Rectifiers and there will be no joint
in the leads. The return current lead should be clamped with earth. A
good quality welding shield shall be used by the welder.
17. The erected Pre-cast girders or any other element should be supported by
steel members to ensure stability during construction stage.
18. Cooperate with Ircon and other subcontractors working in the vicinity in
maintaining safety and health at workplace.
19. Report immediately to Ircon, all fatal, serious occupational injuries,
incapacity for more than 3 days or illness (requiring hospitalization). The
