INSTALLATION IN SHAFT OF BBT

1 Prior to the commencement of any BBT installation work, the Main Contractor
should liaise with the BBT Installation Contractor and prepare a BBT
installation safety plan with details on the risk assessments and method
statements for the BBT installation processes and the safety provisions to be
adopted on site to ensure site safety of all BBT installation procedures.

2 The BBT installation safety plan should contain chapters covering the following:
(a) the type of BBT to be installed. In case of a machine-room-less BBT
or a jump BBT , copies of BBT configurations should be attached to
the plan;

the plant and equipment of the BBT installation works: the use of bamboo or
metal scaffold, guided-SWP, platform BBT or, in case of jump BBT
installation, the use of a heavy-duty BBT appliance;

(b) the positions of floor openings in a BBT machine room, structural links
in the ceiling of a BBT shaft and structural anchors and eye bolts for
the uses of a guided-SWP, a trimmed scaffold and independent
lifelines;

(c) the type of a heavy-duty BBT ing appliance to hoist up BBT shaft
platforms and machine components of a jump BBT to upper level of a
BBT shaft;

(d) if a guided-SWP or a platform BBT is used, the provision of BBT shaft

fencing in addition to BBT shaft protection cages specified in Figure 5
of Volume 1 of the Guidelines;

(e) the administration of permit-to-work systems on hazardous trade

processes such as hot work and electric arc process;

(f) if the building is under TOP arrangement, the corresponding safety and
protection measures;

(g) the Risk Assessment Report. A sample of Risk Assessment Report is

appended at Annex C; and
3
(h) Planning Team should prepare a pre-work check reference. A sample
of pre-work check table is appended at Annex D
3 When preparing the BBT installation safety plan, guidelines prescribed by the
Occupational Safety and Health Council (OSHC) or any other relevant codes of
practice should be referred to. Reference should also be made to Volume 1 of
the Guidelines in considering the safety management of any other works to be
simultaneously conducted inside the BBT shaft during the BBT installation
period.

.4 A planning team comprised of site managerial and supervisory representatives

from the Main Contractor, the BBT Installation Contractor and subcontractors,
including Project Manager/Engineer, site agent, Registered Safety Officer
(RSO), site supervisor and any related personnel who will be involved in the BBT
installation works or any other BBT shaft works (as defined in Volume 1 of the
Guidelines), should be lined up to participate in the planning process and the
endorsement of the BBT installation safety plan.

5 The BBT Installation Contractor should draft the BBT installation safety plan
and submit it to the planning team for consideration. After the planning team
finalizes the plan, the plan should be signed by the Project Manager or Site
Agent of the Main Contractor and properly documented by the RSO.

6 The content, frequency, and duration of safety and health training for BBT
workers should be specified in the BBT installation safety plan.

7 Before the handover of a BBT shaft, the planning team should develop a
“handover checklist’ for checking and recording the conditions of the BBT shaft
to be taken over by the BBT Installation Contractor. “A sample of the BBT
Shaft Handover Checklist’ is provided at Annex E for reference.

.8 The Main Contractor and the BBT Installation Contractor should agree on the
boundary and the portion of a BBT shaft to be handed over. The handover
arrangement should be properly documented, stating whether it would be a
complete, partial or sectional handover for the subsequent management and
maintenance of the BBT shaft during the BBT installation period. The safety
provisions to be handed over and maintained by the BBT Installation Contractor
should be explicitly addressed by the Main Contractor and acknowledged by the
6.9 Strict supervision should be administered on both routine works and hazardous
trade processes. For routine works, site supervisors of the BBT Installation Contractor
should conduct pre-work check on a half-day basis with focus on the use of safety
devices including personal protective equipment (PPE). For hazardous trade processes
(paragraph 10.4 refers) inside a BBT shaft, the planning team should appoint suitable
personnel to oversee the permit-to-work systems.

6.10 The planning team should examine the types of hot work and electric arc process
that would be carried out inside a BBT shaft. As far as practicable, hot work
and electric arc works should be avoided inside a BBT shaft. If it is
unavoidable, no BBT worker and other trade worker are allowed to work
simultaneously inside a BBT shaft during the hot work or electric arc process.
Before carrying out any hot work and electric arc works, adequate
measure/protection to resist the spread of fire should be provided in order to
inhibit the spread of fire to or between floor compartments through the BBT
shafts and openings and within BBT shafts. Any temporary facility/installation
including scaffoldings, formworks, platforms, plankings and strutting etc. inside
such BBT shafts should be constructed of non-combustible materials; if no part
of the building is under TOP arrangement, the safety precaution stipulated in
paragraph 10.5(d) can be adopted as an alternative arrangement.
6.11 If a metal or bamboo scaffold is used for installation of a machine-room-less BBT
, the planning team should:
(a) examine the loading capacity of the metal or bamboo scaffold;
(b) prepare and approve a design plan to reinforce the scaffolds during the
conveying of components at the top level; and
(c) modify the scaffolds to suit the purpose.

6.12 If a guided-SWP is used, the planning team should examine the design and
construction of the appliance. The positions of floor openings at the machine
room or the structural links at the ceiling of the BBT shaft should be checked to
ascertain that the suspension and safety ropes of the appliance are plumbed
when they are hung from these openings or links.

6.13 If a guided-SWP or a platform BBT is agreed to be used, the Main Contractor

has to provide appropriate protection net/mesh with top and middle guards in
about
 1.8 m in height across the door openings of a BBT shaft and behind BBT shaft
protection cages. The guards are hinged to allow the access to and egress from
a guided-SWP or a platform BBT .

6.14 Safe access to deep BBT pit should be provided in the following ways:

(a) Where practicable for BBT pit over 2.5 m deep, a separate permanent
access point instead of cat ladder is recommended to be provided to
facilitate the safe access to the BBT pit;

(b) If the layout of the building so permits, it is strongly advisable that for the
pit depth that exceeds 1.6 m, an access door shall be provided to the pit
in the building design/planning stage. The design of the permanent
access door should be in compliance with the Code of Practice on The
Design and Construction of Buildings and Building Works for the
Installation and Safe Use of BBT

(c) It is also recommended to provide a working platform or reserve space

for the working platform if the pit depth exceeds 2.5 m for future
maintenance and repair works; and

(d) However, if it is impracticable to maintain a permanent access point and

to erect a working platform inside a deep pit, the requirements stipulated
in paragraph 9.2(a) should be followed.
6.15 If floors with unfinished BBT shaft or BBT installation works will be occupied
under TOP arrangement, additional BBT shaft protection, including prevention
of fire spread, should be designed in building planning stage and submitted by
the AP to the Building Authority for acceptance/approval before application of
TOP. The management of the premises should be kept informed of the
designated BBT shaft and related BBT installation works and observe/maintain
the related arrangements/protection including safe means of access (for
workers only) to the BBT shafts. When there is any plan to alter (including
relocate/re-align) the BBT shaft protection or the separation between the
occupied area and the construction area, prior to the commencement of such
alterations, corresponding proposals including alternative protection measures,
should be properly prepared and reviewed by the planning team for
consideration by the AP in accordance with p
6.16 The BBT installation safety plan should stipulate strict requirements to ensure that:

(a) workers are not allowed to work at the same time above the BBT pit if the
installation works of BBT pit equipment is in progress. If it is practicably
unavoidable, a permit-to-work certificate is required and should only be issued
on those working spaces properly separated and protected by crash deck(s);
and

(b) BBT workers are not allowed to work alone inside a BBT shaft. If it is
practically unavoidable, the worker should have sufficient communication
devices such as motion sensor to generate alarm in addition to the provision of
walkie talkie. The worker inside the BBT shaft should be able to verbally
communicate with a nearby co-worker.

6.17 A copy of the BBT installation safety plan should be kept on site for inspections
by relevant Incharge.

9. Specific Precautions for Lift Installation

9.1 It is strongly advised that the planning team should refer to the guidelines,
codes and regulations during the preparation of the lift installation safety plan
and the formulation of method statement for any procedures involved in the lift
installation process.

9.2 In conducting the risk assessment, the following safety precautions should be
carefully considered (if corresponding hazards are found) and recorded for
implementation as appropriate:-

(a) provide safe access to and egress from the lift shaft openings. In case
of an access to a deep lift pit where it is impracticable to provide a
standard ladder and working platform inside the deep lift pit, a suitable
6
anchorage or a tailor-made cross beam (BSEN 795) with a retractable
device should be provided for a lift worker who wore a safety harness
attached to the retractable device. The lift worker is then allowed to
open a lift door and enter the lift pit via the steel ladder.

(b) no building materials or debris should be stored in front of any lift shaft
opening;
 (c) put in place rescue procedures and evacuation arrangement in case of
fire, explosion, accident or other emergency situations, etc. occurring
in any part of the building during the works;

(d) keep to minimum the number of persons working within a lift shaft at
the same time to the extent that simultaneous working at two different
levels is strongly NOT advisable; and
(e) providecommunication.
during communication

for clarity of use
(f)

Method statements for any lift installation works should be prepared, taking into
consideration of all safety measures from the risk assessment report. The
related precautionary measures should be disseminated to all relevant parties to
ensure that they are properly understood and followed. The sample of Risk
Assessment Report at Annex C illustrates job hazards and the respective
control measures of different activities under lift installation works.

9.4 Apart from the conventional lift installation methods, Lift Installation Contractors
may adopt other approaches for lift installation with respect to specific site
conditions. The risk assessment and preparation of method statement for such
non-traditional methods should follow the principles as stated in the above
paragraphs. Notwithstanding, the planning team is advised to note the following
when applying scaffold-less, jump lift or machine-room-less lift installation
methods:

(a) the use of installation appliances;

(b) the use of a heavy-duty lifting appliance to convey machine components

of a jump lift to an upper level of a lift shaft; and

(c) the use of scaffolds or a guided-SWP in the installation of a machine-

room-less lift.

9.5 If a guided-SWP or a platform lift is used for the lift installation works, the
following specific safety precautions, but not limited to, should be adopted:

(a) the control switches, safety devices and/or pedal brakes of the appliance
should be functionally checked by a competent person at the beginning
of each work shift;

(b) a notice prescribing the maximum number of workers working on the

platform should be clearly displayed on the appliance facing the lift shaft
 opening. The appliance should not be overloaded with workers on the
platform under any circumstance;

(c) no worker is allowed to work alone on the platform;

(d) no works should be carried out while the appliance is moving;

(e) no other worker should be allowed to enter the lift shaft when the
appliance is operating;

Method statements for any lift installation works should be prepared, taking into
consideration of all safety measures from the risk assessment report. The
related precautionary measures should be disseminated to all relevant parties to
ensure that they are properly understood and followed. The sample of Risk
Assessment Report at Annex C illustrates job hazards and the respective
control measures of different activities under lift installation works.

9.4 Apart from the conventional lift installation methods, Lift Installation Contractors
may adopt other approaches for lift installation with respect to specific site
conditions. The risk assessment and preparation of method statement for such
non-traditional methods should follow the principles as stated in the above
paragraphs. Notwithstanding, the planning team is advised to note the following
when applying scaffold-less, jump lift or machine-room-less lift installation
methods:

(d) the use of installation appliances;

(e) the use of a heavy-duty lifting appliance to convey machine components

of a jump lift to an upper level of a lift shaft; and

(f) the use of scaffolds or a guided-SWP in the installation of a machine-

room-less lift.

9.5 If a guided-SWP or a platform lift is used for the lift installation works, the
following specific safety precautions, but not limited to, should be adopted:

(f) the control switches, safety devices and/or pedal brakes of the appliance
should be functionally checked by a competent person at the beginning
of each work shift;

(g) a notice prescribing the maximum number of workers working on the

platform should be clearly displayed on the appliance facing the lift shaft
opening. The appliance should not be overloaded with workers on the
platform under any circumstance;
 (h) no worker is allowed to work alone on the platform;

(i) no works should be carried out while the appliance is moving;

(j) no other worker should be allowed to enter the lift shaft when the
appliance is operating;

(f) worker(s) should immediately anchor safety harness(es) to the

independent lifeline(s) before entering the platform;

(g) all portable tools should be properly placed in the tool box and bag when
working on the platform;

(h) the platform of the appliance should be properly stopped at appropriate

level above the lift pit and locked in an inoperative mode. The switch key
should be kept by the worker working inside the lift shaft. A warning
notice should be posted at the control of the platform to that effect before
entering the lift pit for works;

(i) lift car and frame assembly works should be carried out preferably at the
lowest level;

(j) if the lift car and frame assembly works are carried out at the lowest level,
the guided-SWP should be properly stopped at appropriate level above the
lift pit and locked in an inoperative mode. The switch key should be kept by
the worker working inside the lift shaft and a warning notice should be
posted at the control panel of the platform to that effect; and

(k) if the lift car and frame assembly works are carried out at the highest
level, the guided-SWP should be properly stopped at one level below and
locked in an inoperative mode. The switch key should be kept by the
worker working inside the lift shaft and a warning notice should be posted
at the control panel of the platform to that effect.

9.6 For jump lift installation, the Main Contractor and the Lift Installation Contractor
should carefully assess the weight of the lift shaft platform and the machine
component of a jump lift before deploying a heavy-duty lifting appliance, such as
a tower crane, a heavy-duty winch or a heavy-duty derrick crane, to perform the
hoist-up works. Safety precautions should be adopted and implemented to
prevent any part of a suspended lift shaft platform or machine component of a
suspended jump lift from being obstructed by wall projections of a lift shaft.

9.7 During the installation of a machine-room-less lift, it is prohibited to use a

guided-SWP to convey any machine components of a lift inside a lift shaft.
When a lift component is raised or lowered by a lifting appliance, the guided-
SWP should be stationed at an appropriate level to avoid any contacts with a
suspended load.

26
9.8 Any design and method statement for the construction of anchorages, including
those temporary anchorages, for material and equipment lifting, plant operation,
installation of lift appliance, connecting independent lifeline, or any other uses
must be checked by a Registered Professional Engineer (either appointed by
the Main Contractor or the Lift Installation Contractor) for certification of the load
bearing capacity and the fixing details of the anchorages.

9.9 If a particular anchorage plus the corresponding applied load may have effect
on the permanent structure by way of overstressing or overloading, the Main
Contractor shall appoint a person whose qualification and experience are not
inferior to a TCP of grade T5 to certify the plans, design information/justification,
load bearing capacity, fixing details and/or method statement of the anchorages
which are to be submitted to the Project RSE. The person so appointed should
also certify the completion of such works.

9.10 In case there is construction work to be carried out above the handed over
portion of lift shaft, the Main Contractor should provide and maintain a lift shaft
platform to act as a separation formwork to protect the workers working below
the platform. Such lift shaft platform should be designed, constructed, used and
maintained following the provisions as stipulated in paragraph 9 of Volume 1 of
the Guidelines, and should comply with the requirements of any relevant
regulations, practice notes and codes of practice published by the Government
such as the Buildings Department and Labour Department.

27
10. Implementation of a Permit-to-Work System

10.1 Following the provisions as stipulated in paragraph 10 of Volume 1 of the

Guidelines, the Main Contractor should continue to manage and administer the
permit-to-work system for controlling access to the lift shaft after handing over
the lift shaft to the Lift Installation Contractor. The Main Contractor and the Lift
Installation Contractor should ensure that all the safety provisions stipulated
under the lift installation safety plan are readily in place before applying for the
permit-to-work system inside the lift shaft.
.
10.2 After handing over a lift shaft to the Lift Installation Contractor, a permit from the
Main Contractor should be granted to the Lift Installation Contractor for the
commencement of the lift installation works.

10.3 In general, the Main Contractor should endorse all permit-to-work systems for all
hazardous trade processes. If any such hazardous trade processes involve the
safety and health of lift workers only, the systems should be endorsed by the
Main Contractor and the Lift Installation Contractor.

10.4 Permit-to-work systems should be enforced on the hazardous trade processes

and implemented by the Main Contractor and Lift Installation Contractor
respectively according to the nature of the hazardous trade processes. Each
permit should specify its length of validity in terms of shift and the type of trade
workers who are required to work inside the lift shaft.

10.5 The following hazardous trade processes indicate some examples:

(a) other trade workers are required to work inside the lift shaft where lift
workers are installing a lift. In this case, the Main Contractor should, after
consultation with the Lift Installation Contractor, issue a certificate of
permit-to-work system endorsed by both the Main Contractor and Lift
Installation Contractor to that effect;

(b) when lift workers are required to work below a guided-SWP or a platform
lift, the Lift Installation Contractor should implement a permit-to-work
system, with a control measure that the switch key of the appliance is kept
by a lift worker staying below the platform;

28
 (c) lift workers are required to work in a deep lift pit. Safety precautions, such as provision of safe
access and egress, fall-arrest-system as stipulated in paragraph 9.2(a), work-in-pair, proper
lighting and ventilation, should be adopted and implemented by the Lift Installation Contractor;

(d) hot work or electric arc process is conducted inside or near a lift shaft. The Lift Installation
Contractor should also ensure that suitable fire precautions are taken to prevent hot sparks
from the process falling onto combustible materials or suspension/safety ropes of a guided-
SWP. At the work spot, suitable protective screen of fire retardant nature, such as tarpaulin
should be used. If tarpaulin is being used as protective screen, its fire retardant characteristics
7
should meet the requirements of BS 5867-2: 2008 (Type B performance requirements) or
other equivalent standards; and
(e) lift workers are required to work on the car top of an assembled lift car. The permit-to-work
system should include the adoption of a switch lock on the Inspection Operation Panel on the
car top or similar alternative measure to that effect.

10.6 The sample form of the permit-to-work system is provided

10.7 The permit-to-work system as stipulated in paragraph 10 of Volume 1 of the Guidelines should be
maintained and managed by the Main Contractor after handing over the lift shaft to the Lift
Installation Contractor. The Lift Installation Contractor should apply to the Main Contractor for
access to the lift shaft for the carrying out of lift installation works.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Introduction

Site Environmental Plan (SEP) is a document prepared for knowing environ-

friendly activities and strictly following it on site, without considering it to be
the duty of oneself or any sort of workload, but it must be taken for granted as
one of the social obligation. Unless this is remembered thoroughly, one
Plan will enable us to help and protect the environment by following it on site
and by taking preventive measure to control the Hazardous activity which
will be harmful to our environment and earth.
Simply knowing the plan is not of use unless it is practiced On site this
document will help us to achieve the save working environment by taking
preventive measures.

Objectives
 Obtaining quality environment through continual application / practice of
Environmental Quality.
 Environmental Monitoring program (EMP).
 Taking mitigation measures to maintain pollution levels within
permissible limits.
 Monitoring the functioning and performance evaluation of EMC.
 Ensure compliance with environmental standards laid down by statutory
agencies.

Definitions
Environmental Pollution: Environmental Pollution means the presence in the
environment of any environment pollutant.

Noise: Noise is any unwanted sound which disturbs functioning of persons.

Environment: Surrounding in which we live is environment; consist of air,
water, soil, man, materials, flora, fauna etc.
Environmental Pollutant: Environmental pollutant means any solid or liquid
or gaseous substance present in such concentration as may be or tend to be
injurious to environment.
Hazardous substances: Hazardous substance means any substance or
preparation with, by reason of its chemical or physical chemical properties or
handling, is liable to cause harm to human beings, other living creatures,
plants, micro-organisms, property or the environment.
Potential Source of Air Pollution
Measure of air pollutant is fugitive dust emission (Suspended Particulate
Matter) from different construction activities. Sources of air pollution are
 Vehicle exhausts.

CONTROL MEASURES

HANDLING OF MATERIAL:WE DON’T USE ANY FLAMABLE MATERIAL

AT SITE BUT HANDLING OF MATERIAL WILL DONE ON DAILY BASIS
WASTE GENERATE FROM WORK LIKE PLASTC WRAP SHEET WILL BE
STACKED PROPERLY AND BARRICADED.

Waste Control and Management

Collection, Transportation and disposal of all waste will be strictly managed.
Construction waste will be segregated as much as possible at site to increase
the feasibility of recycling.. Scrap collected shall be sent to scrap yard.
Biodegradable wastes shall be collected at waste bins and disposed off at
waste dumping yards with prior permission. We shall provide oil traps even
for minor leaks from our mobile equipment and generators. Oil separator /
interceptors shall be provided to prevent the release of oils and grease in to
drainage system. These shall be cleaned on regular basis.
Site hygiene: Site hygiene shall be maintained to keep the good healthy
working environment at our work site.

House keeping and waste disposal

 Systematic arrangements of all construction materials.

 Provide Scrap yard at ear marked area.
 Depute dedicated person / team for housekeeping as & when need arises.
 Working area supervisor & contractor is responsible to make sure that area
is kept clean & neat after completion of each day’s work.
 Clear the Scrap yard regularly (Weekly / Monthly as per site condition).
 Since prefabricated panels are erected scrap generation will be as follows:
1. Wood packing’s – used to support panels arranged in the pallet received
at site from
Factory.
2. Plastic films - used on panel as a protection sheet which will be removed
while unloading
All the above material are collected from the marine electrical work while panel are
unloaded and brought in site the waste management will be done on day when
material is arrived and unloaded
 It will be sent to the industries and then to the concerned disposal agency.
Required Documents:

 JOB SPECIFIC TRAINING

 WORK Permit

 TBT

 APPROVED JSA

 BBT ING PLAN

Health and Safety Hazard Assessment

 Working area should be barricaded and hindrance free before shifting & position the LT
PANEL
 No person should work in the area while erection work is in Progress.
 Cable trench excavation openining should be full ally covered or barricade highlighting
this area before start the activity.
 Safety Harness should be worn and shall be fixed in truss or rafter while working
in height
 All the people who are assisting for erection work will be worn safety helmets and
Safety shoes.
 Other Acoustic material shifting near Foundation area by using F15 Farana.

 Work should be carried out as per only approved JSA

 Proper illumination (250 lx min) shall be provided while working in Night

Risk assessment (JSA) shall be done by safety officer in consultation with the construction manager
and accordingly preventive measures to be taken.
 SITE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT&VEHICLE SAFETY

A number of people die in the construction Industry, as a result of being struck by vehicles on site. In addition,
there are hundreds of preventable accidents and injuries.

Accidents occur during the work is being carried out and while the work is being completed. Managers, Workers,
Visitors to sites and members of the public all could be at risk.

Inadequate planning and control is the root cause of many construction vehicle accidents.

Having a fool proof plan is the best way to prevent LTI’s arising due to accidents.

Parking Management
The majority of construction transport accidents result from the inadequate space and separation of pedestrians
and vehicles.

This can usually be avoided by careful planning, particularly at the design stage, and by controlling vehicle
operations during construction work.

The following actions will help keep pedestrians and vehicles apart:

1. Entrances and exits - provide separate entry and exit gateways for pedestrians and vehicles;

2. Walkways - provide firm, levelled, well-drained pedestrian walkways that take a direct route to the destination;

3. Crossings - where walkways cross roadways, provide a clearly signed and lit crossing point where drivers
and pedestrians can see each other clearly;

4. Visibility - make sure drivers driving out onto public roads can see both ways, along the footway before they
move on to it;
 5. Obstructions – do not block walkways so that pedestrians have to step onto the vehicle route; and

6. Barriers - think about installing a barrier between the roadway and walkway.

Vehicle Movement

Good planning can help to minimize vehicle movement around the site. For example, To limit the number of
vehicles on site:

 provide car and van parking for the workforce and visitors away from the work area;
 control entry to the work area; and
 The storage area should be located such that the delivery vehicles do not have to cross the site.

People on site

Employers need to make sure that all workers are fit and competent, to operate the vehicles, machines and
attachments they use on site by, for example:

 checks when recruiting drivers/operators or hiring contractors;

 training drivers and operators;
 Managing the activities of visiting drivers.

People who direct vehicle movements (banks men) must be trained and authorized to do so.

Accidents can also occur, when untrained or inexperienced workers drive construction vehicles without authority.
Access to vehicles should be managed by a trained and well experienced professional. A log book entry should
be maintained, in order to maintain records.

Turning vehicles

The parking should be designed in such a way that the vehicles once parked can only be driven forward in order
to get out of the parking lot. Reversing is a major cause of fatal accidents.

One-way systems can reduce the risk, especially in storage areas.

A turning circle could be installed so that vehicles can turn without reversing.

Visibility

You should consider:

 Aids for drivers - mirrors, CCTV cameras or reversing alarms that can help drivers see movement all round the vehicle;
 Signallers - who can be appointed to control manoeuvres and who are trained in the task;

 Lighting - For drivers and pedestrians on shared routes, lighting may be needed after sunset or in bad weather;

 Clothing - pedestrians on site should wear high-visibility clothing.

Signs and instructions

Make sure that all drivers and pedestrians know and understand the routes and traffic rules on site. Use standard
road signs where appropriate

Provide induction training for drivers, workers and visitors and send instructions out to visitors before their visit.

As far as there is no disadvantage of this method but in rare case there will be a chances of
7 ROPE breaking, which we have to take care.
