Safety and sanitation of the work area in any project is the primary concern of management. All open excavation should be barricaded to prevent pedestrians or vehicles from falling into them. No shovel, dragline or other digging machines should be allowed to excavate close to underground facilities that must be left in place.

Chapter 9 Safety and sanitation of the work area in any project is the primary concern of management. This is not only to safeguard the interest of the workers but also the general public. Personal Protection Equipment
A. Shoes and Hardhats
Safety or suitable shoes should be worn while on duty. When doing concrete pouring work, masons may use rubber boots. Similarly, when working in areas subject to danger from falling objects, hardhats should be worn. Personal Protection Equipment (cont’) B. Personnel Protective Equipment 2. Hand, face and eye protection should be worn on welding jobs. 3. Working leather gloves should be worn, when handling sheet, piles or sharp objects. General Construction Work Safety Guides A.

Traffic Accidents Involving Company Vehicles A. Excavation and Shoring
1. The Project Manager shall be responsible
for investigating pre-excavation conditions in order to evaluate changes that might occur, or situations that might develop, and in order to plan the job based on these findings. 2. Designs of shoring and bracings must be submitted first to Project Manager’s office for approval. Excavation and Shoring (cont’) 1. All open excavation should be barricaded to prevent pedestrians or vehicles from falling into them. 2. Men working in ditches are always in danger of being struck by objects and knocked into the ditch. Tools and materials lying near ditches should be moved back several feet. 3. Unless men working below ground are provided with overhead protection, materials or tools should not be passed over their heads. Excavation and Shoring (cont’) 1. No shovel, dragline or other digging machines should be allowed to excavate close to underground facilities that must be left in place. 2. When hand excavation is being done, workmen should be warned about driving picks, pavement breakers or other powered tools through the envelop of the buried facilities. 3. Pick and shovel men working in excavations should be kept far apart to prevent injury to one another. Excavation and Shoring (cont’) 1. Materials excavated by machine should be thrown at least two feet from the edge of the excavation. 2. Excavated materials should be placed at least 18 inches from the walls of the excavation unless toe boards have been installed to prevent fall back. 3. Keep unauthorized persons, especially children, out of the construction site; provide line barricades or post guards. 4. Make sure that nothing is left lying around that may cause slipping or falling. Excavation and Shoring (cont’) 1. When working along public highways or streets, flagmen should be assigned, especially during heavy traffic hours. 2. Place pipe slings properly at lifting points before handling or lowering pipe into trench. 3. Stay clear while pipelines are being tested. A break might cause injury 4. Loose pipe pieces, fittings, tools and other objects should be kept out of the trench right-of- way from the pipes that are being connected. Excavation and Shoring (cont’) 1. Loose pipe pieces, fittings, tools and other objects should be kept out of the trench right-of-way from the pipes that are being connected. 2. Wooden planks or steel mating must provided on all excavation works for public/residential’s conveniences B. Pipe Works Safety requirements during pipe lying, welding, leakage press, test, fittings, and other civil works. 2. Trenches over 1.20 m. depth should be provided with ramps or ladders to facilitate entrance and exit of personnel and equipment. 3. In hand-excavated trenches, the ends of braces to stringers should be secured to prevent the braces from being knocked out of place. 4. In handling pipes, appropriate slings shall be utilized such that the pipe is well-balanced during lifting. Pipe Works (cont’) 1. When welding the bottom portion of a pipe in trench to the previously laid pipe, the welder is required to gauge or grind the root pass before applying the final passes. 2. When conducting hydrostatic test, all test instruments should first be calibrated properly. 3. As pressure build-up approaches about 1/3 of specified test pressure, all persons involved in the testing should be advice to stay clear of the pipe and flanges and immediate test area, expecting those directly operating the pressure pump and monitoring the gauge. C. Manual Handling 1. When lifting objects, first make sure that your posting is secure; assume squatting position with back erect, and raise the object by straightening legs. 2. Get a firm grip on the object to be lifted, seeing to it that the hands as well as the object to be lifted are free from oil, grease or other slippery substances. 3. When moving heavy objects, including tanks, pipes or steel drums in any direction or an incline, ropes or other tackle to control the motion should be used. Manual Handling (cont’)
1. When handling pipes make sure they
are securely tied and balanced to avoid slippage. 2. Wear the prescribed asbestos hand gloves when handling hot objects or materials. D. Team Lifting and Carrying 1. When two or more men must carry a single object, they should adjust the load so that it rides level. 2. When two men carry long sections of pipe or lumber, they should carry equal parts of leads; they should carry the lead on the same shoulders and walk in step. 3. When a group of men carry along sections, or heavy objects like beam or pipe, the foremen shall direct the work and special tools should be used whenever possible (clamps, tongs, etc.) E. Mechanical Handling 1. In lifting heavy loads, wire ropes with slings are preferable to chains. 2. Provide suitable guard pads at around sharp corner of steel before lifting. 3. Inspect all cables, seeing to it that there are no broken stands; kinking and unraveling of the cable should be avoided. 4. Chains should be checked for cracks or flaws. 5. Check for elongation and rearing out of chain links. Mechanical Handling (cont’) 1. Hooks that are straightened or deformed or defective should not be used. 2. The hook’s working capacity should not be exceeded. 3. Pulleys should be regularly inspected, particularly their pins, and kept well maintained. 4. Maintain proper alignment of sheaves and drums to avoid wear and tear of their sides as well as of the cable. F. Tools and Safety 1. Select the right tool required for the job and use it properly. 2. Never use a hand tool on or very close to any moving part of a machine. 3. Exercise care when handling or transporting tools, particularly sharp or pointed ones, to prevent damage to other properties and injuries to persons. 4. Only the right pneumatic tool which is in good condition should be used for the job. Tools and Safety (cont’) 1. Grip the hand firmly with both hands on it. When using heavy pneumatic tools (such as jack hammer, clay digger, ect.) in a horizontal position, the tool should be supported by vertically suspended ropes. 2. When laying the pneumatic tool down, always place it in a position that cannot cause harm in case the tool is accidentally started. 3. If the tool is detached from the air hose under pressure, turn off the air by closing control value, never by kinking the hose. G. Equipment Operation 1. Only duly authorized employees shall operate heavy equipment. 2. Operators shall be responsible for the proper maintenance and cleanliness of the heavy equipment assigned to them, and make reports of any defects or unusual condition found therein. 3. The operator shall not allow unauthorized personnel to operate the equipment assigned to him nor allow such person to ride on the equipment while it is in motion. Equipment Operation (cont’) 1.
