8. Safety & Hazard Plan

8.1 Hazard Identification

a. Maintain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each chemical in the facility.
b. Make this information accessible to employees at all times in a language or formats that
are clearly understood by all affected personnel. Train employees on how to read and use
the MSDS.
Follow manufacturer’s MSDS instructions for handling hazardous chemicals.
d. Train employees about the risks of each hazardous chemical being used.

METHOD STATEMENT TESTING AND COMMISSING PLAN 10 of 13

 e. Provide spill clean-up kits in areas where chemicals are stored.
f. Have a written spill control plan.
g. Train employees to clean up spills, protect themselves and properly dispose of used
materials.
h. Provide proper personal protective equipment and enforce its use.
i. Store chemicals safely and securely.
j. For properly communication, there are for every 300 people’s one HSE professional with
full time

8.2 Preventive Measures

8.2.1 Protective tools to be used
Requirements for the need of personal protective equipment (Also called
PPE).

Construction Common
Some sort of head gear. If there is a danger of falling objects, wear a hard hat.
If working in cold weather, wear a hat to keep the body warm.

Eye protection.
Wear safety glasses or goggles when pouring concrete. That way any
splashing concrete stays out of your eyes.

Gloves.
It makes common sense to protect our hands as much as possible. Wearing
gloves protect against scratches and cuts and possible infection because of
the chemicals used in concrete.

Long sleeve shirt/pants.

This keeps concrete from splashing on your body.
You can avoid burns that way.

Concrete Unusual
One vital piece of PPE is kneepads. Since concrete finishing often exposes
knees to additional wear and tear, it makes sense to wear kneepads designed
to take the stress rather than scraps of insulation held on by duct tape.

Rubber Boots.
If wet concrete comes into contact with the skin for any lengthy period of
time, we can get severe burns. Besides, it is easier to wash off rubber boots
than to wash off and have wet feet with regular boots after pouring mud.
Additional Discussion Notes:

METHOD STATEMENT TESTING AND COMMISSING PLAN 11 of 13

 Remember:
Just like roofers have to wear a full body harness, concrete
workers need to protect themselves. Unlike roofers protecting against a fall,
we have to protect ourselves against additional wear and tear on our bodies

8.2.2 Accident Preventive safety procedure.

- Pre-qualification of all equipment prior to the start of work.

- All personnel will be site trained.
- Method statement shall be discussed with all concerned.
- Toolbox talks will be established and logged regularly.

9.0 Records
9.1 Inspection records generated by this procedure are to be
managed in accordance with the project procedure.
9.2 At the completion of works, the finalized completion documentation will be submitted to NC.
Project documentation will include extracts from the specifications relevant for
commissioning and handover. It is intended that during the pre-commissioning and
commissioning stages that any ‘as-built’ changes are marked up on site and incorporated and re-
issued on the as-built drawing and project documentation.
The documentation will include the following:
• All drawings and As-built information in pdf and CAD formats

• Commissioning Checklist
• Testing results
• Inspection checklist reports
• O&M Manual including all manuals relating to civil, electrical, and mechanical equipment
and tests.
• A folder of construction photos
