The purpose of this procedure is to outline the hazards associated with noise and
the preventative measures to be taken to reduce risk to health.
It covers all areas where the work is being carried out and includes consideration for
adjacent populated areas.
2.0 DEFINITIONS
Noise is defined as unwanted sound, which at certain volume levels may cause
irreparable damage to hearing.
Frequency is the pitch measured in Hertz, calculated from the rate of pressure
fluctuations of sound waves
dB refers to a unit of sound pressure fed into an electronic weighting network and
providing an approximate sound level calculated over the total frequencies.
dB (A) refers to the characteristics of sound which are filtered to replicate the noise
heard by the human ear.
Attenuation is the reduction of noise achieved by hearing protection, each type of
ear protector should have attenuation tables which illustrate the noise reduction at
different frequencies. e.g. 30 dB(A) at 5,000 Hz.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
Supervision when planning the work shall take into account the anticipated `noise
levels that persons under their control may be exposed to.
Where any concerns exist shall consult with the HSE department and arrange for
a noise analysis to take place.
Will provide adequate and suitable hearing protection for the work being
performed recognising the attenuation factors of different ear protectors.

4.1 General
The phenomena of noise induced hearing loss has only, relatively speaking, been
recently analysed and understood. The causation factors of working in industries
where high levels of noise are generated are now clearly understood, and the long
term consequences created from working in such high risk environments placing
greater levels of care on employing companies.
The physiological damage of working in environments where high levels of noise
exists, can be simply explained as the damage caused to the fine hairs in the
Cochlea, part of the hearing mechanism sited in the inner ear. These hairs are
joined to nerves transmitting the sensation of hearing to the brain, prolonged
exposure to high levels of noise will result in auditory fatigue and eventual failure of
function for those fine hairs. This may result in temporary deafness called a
'Temporary Threshold Shift' or permanent deafness which includes the occupational
illness of 'Noise Induced Hearing loss'.
4.2 Action
The action point for noise on the NGL-4 Project is 85 dB(A), noise levels 85 dB(A)
and over will require the provision of signs, mandatory hearing protection and an
analysis of the noise emissions.
Under foreseeable working conditions, no person shall be exposed to steady
noise levels above 120 dB (A) irrespective of duration, or to impulse noise levels
above 135 dB (A), with or without hearing protection.
Instances where personnel are exposed to high levels of noise will require
screening to assess if any impairment has occurred.
In areas where noise may interfere with communications, suitable alternative
arrangements shall be in place for alerting the work parties in the event of an
emergency
Overleap is a table with approximate noise values associated with construction
equipment, and noise limitations and requirements.

This procedure establishes safety and health guidance to prevent injury and
suffering from the effects of heat stress to personnel.
This procedure applies to all personnel, including subcontractors and visitors to the
project.
2.0 DEFINITIONS
Heat stress is usually the result of work being performed at elevated temperatures.
Contributory factors may also include a decrease of natural body ventilation by
protective clothing e.g. chemical & impervious suits.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
Heat stroke is an acute and dangerous reaction to heat stress caused by a failure of
the heat regulating mechanisms of the body, e.g. a break down of the employee's
temperature control system that causes sweating. Body temperature rises so high
that brain damage and death will result if the person is not cooled quickly.
Symptoms: red, hot, dry skin, although the person may have been sweating earlier;
nausea; dizziness; confusion; extremely high blood pressure, rapid respiratory and
pulse rate; unconsciousness or coma.
Actions: Casualty must be cooled down and Medical aid sought immediately with
the person transported to the site medical facilities.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Right angle couplers (doubles or 90’s) are the only fitting suitable as load bearing.
Swivel couplers are not acceptable in a load bearing capacity.
3.2.4 Transoms
Transoms should, whenever possible, be secured to standards using right angle
couplers. They may however, be laid across ledgers and secured with putlog clips
provided that they are not more than 300 mm from each pair of standards. A
transom must not extend more than 50 mm past the right angle coupler/ putlog clip.
Tie-in’s (Independent Scaffolds)
Tie-in must be fixed at every second lift and every second standard.
Where a scaffold has been sheeted out with tarpaulins, consideration will be given
to additional wind loading and the insertion of additional ties.
All ties will be positive two way ties, i.e. they will prevent movement of the scaffold
either into or away from the building.
All tie-in’s must be secured as near to the node point as is possible (where
standards and ledgers intersect). Only load bearing couplers will be acceptable.
The anchorage point to which a tie is secured must be of sufficient strength to
withstand the load imposed upon it. Under no circumstances will guard-rails be
used as an anchorage point for ties.
As a general rule, ties must always be inserted. Where this is not possible, the
following alternative actions may be taken.
On small scaffolds not extending above three lifts, the stability of the scaffold can
be achieved by rakers. The raker will be secured with right angle couplers to the
ledger at the second lift. The load in the raker will be distributed through a base
plate or if required a soleboard. The foot of the raker will be tied back to the main
scaffold. Rakers will be inserted at the same standard spacing as ties.
No Raker shall extend more than 3 metres without being tied back at its mid point.
3.2.5 Braces
All scaffolds will be braced in both directions. Braces, whether facade or ledger to
ledger, will extend to the full height of the structure.
Facade braces will be repeated at a maximum distance of every 10 metres.
Ledger to ledger bracing will be repeated at every alternate set of standards.
Joints in facade braces will be made with sleeve couplers, spigots are not
acceptable.
Where braces are fixed to transoms, the transom itself must be fixed with right
angle couplers.

Working platforms will normally be five boards wide but may be reduced to two
boards where the scaffold has been erected for inspection or access purposes only.
All working platforms will be close boarded with boards butted together end to end.
Boards will either be cut to fit around standards, pipe penetrations etc., or have the
gaps filled in with the use of suitable fixed wooden boarding i.e. ply wood.
Each individual board will be securely lashed.
Guard-rails will be fixed to the inside of the standards on all working platforms to a
height of between 1.1 metres (minimum) and 1.5 metres (maximum). The space
between the top of the toeboard and the underside of the guard-rail will not exceed
690 mm.
An intermediate guard-rail will be fixed to the inside of standards in every instance.
Toeboards including stop end boards will be fitted to all working platforms. The
minimum height will be 150 mm.
If materials are to be stacked above the height of the toeboard, a suitable barrier
(brick guards) will be erected.
Ladder access openings will not be more than 500 mm wide (2 boards) and will be
as short as possible in the other direction.
The maximum span of any board forming the working platform will be 1.2 metres.
The minimum overhang of any board will not be less than 50 mm and the
maximum overhang will not exceed 150 mm.
No more than 2 boards width will be supported on needle transoms unless the
transoms are fixed with right angle coupler and ‘picked up’.
3.2.8 Ladders
Ladders will project beyond working platforms or ladder access platforms by a
minimum distance of 1.05 metres (five rungs).
Ladders will be based on a sound footing. They will be lashed or secured by a
proprietary clamp at both the foot and near the top.
The angle at which the ladder is set will (with the exception of scaffold towers) be
75 or 300 mm out for every 1.2 metres of vertical length.
Long ladders will be supported and lashed at their mid point to remove any
bounce.
Ladders shall be constructed of aluminium or wood. Only properly constructed and
manufactured ladders shall be used. ‘Home made’ ladders are strictly forbidden.
All ladders will be of good repair and sound construction. They will be checked for
damage, faults and wear & tear, by the Approved Scaffolding Supervisor, before
use.
Metal tie rods will be in place.
Ladders may be on the outside of a scaffold for the first two lifts, above ground
level. In every other instance, the ladder run will be internal to the scaffold.

Where it is likely that material may fall from a building or a scaffold and where
people are working in, or passing in close proximity to the structure, a protective fan
will be erected.
Protective fans will not be used to store scaffolding or other materials.
The protective fan shall not be more than 5 metres above ground level, shall be at
least 2 metres wide and at an angle not exceeding 20.
3.2.12 Scafftag
Scafftag is a system of inspection whereby a weather proofed plasticised tag is
placed at all access points of a scaffold. Information on the tag will include the date
built, safe working load, initial inspectors name and signature and company. The
tag (generally green)indicates that the scaffold is “Safe to Use”.
Within a period not exceeding 7 days, the scaffold will be re-inspected by a
competent person (scaffolding supervisor) and a signature and date placed upon
the tag. Where a scaffold does not meet safety standards the tag will be removed
and a prohibition notice placed at the access to inform personnel not to use.
A separate record of all scaffold inspections will be kept in an approved scaffold
register.

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 stilson wrenches should not be used as monkey wrenches.
Jaw corrugations on stilson 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.
2.2.3 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.
Wood screws must not be hammered into place.
Use insulated handles for electrical works.
2.2.4 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 ply-bars, punches, etc., as file metal is usually very brittle
and will snap.

The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidance during the construction of the
NGL-4 Project.
It must be used by Subcontractors and Contractor supervision as required by the
work.
2.0 INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General
Selecting the correct wheel for the job is equally important for efficient production
and for safety. As a rough and ready rule, soft wheels are more suitable for hard
material, and hard wheels for soft material.
With wheels of unsuitable structure for the job, loading may result, i.e. the abrasive
wheel face becomes clogged with particles of the material being ground. A wheel
may also be too hard or too fine, resulting in “glazing”. The operator is then tempted
to press the workpiece too hard on the wheel, causing it to break. The best policy in
selecting grinding plant is to consult manufacturers of machines and abrasive
wheels, and not to experiment without competent advice.
Before mounting the wheel, check that the speed of the spindle does not exceed the
maximum permissible speed marked on the wheel.
It must be remembered that centrifugal force, the ultimate cause of wheel bursts,
increases non directly with speed, but as the square of the speed. The speed at
which the grinding wheel revolves, is, therefore, extremely important.
2.2 Flanges
Every abrasive wheel must be mounted between suitable flanges, which should be
not less than one third the diameter of the wheel. The flanges should be recessed
on the side next to the wheel, to ensure that clamping pressure is not exerted near
the hole.
Flanges for wheels with large holes should not be recessed, but the corners of the
wheel seating should be undercut, so that the corners of the wheels will not be
subjected to pressure. The inner (driving) flange should be keyed, screwed, shrunk,
or otherwise secured to the spindle, and the flange bearing surface should run true
with the spindle.
2.3 Washers
The purpose of washers is to distribute the clamping pressure evenly on the wheel,
In addition to the prevention of slipping with less clamping pressure, washers tend
to reduce wear on the flanges.
Before running the wheel make sure the guard is in proper adjustment.
If the machine is fitted with a work rest, adjust this as close as possible to the
surface of the wheel; rotate the wheel by hand to make sure it is clear all the way
round.

New wheels should be run free at full operating speed for a short period before they
are used; during the trial run everyone stand clear.

2.6 Controls
Machines in which abrasive wheels are used must be provided with efficient devices
for starting and cutting off power, and the controls of such devices must be readily
and conveniently operated by the person using the machine.
Where there is a rest for supporting the workpiece, it shall at all times while the
wheel is in motion, be properly secured and adjusted so as to be as close as
practicable (3 mm) to the exposed part of the abrasive wheel.
Every rest must be of substantial construction and properly maintained.
The floor surrounding every fixed machine or area where portable tools are being
used, shall be maintained in good and even condition. So as far as practicable it will
be kept clear of loose material and prevented from becoming slippery.

The purpose of this procedure is to outline the hazards associated with airborne
dust particles and the preventive measures to be taken to reduce risk to health &
neighbouring equipment. It covers areas where the work is being carried out and
includes consideration for surrounding land areas.
2.0 DEFINITION
Dust is defined as very small particles of dirt, sand, rock or other airborne particles,
which can be inhaled into the lungs of workers.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
Supervision when planning the work shall take into account the anticipated dust
levels that personnel under their control may be exposed to.
Where any concerns exist supervision shall consult with the HSE department
and arrange an analysis to take place.
Shall provide adequate and suitable respiratory protection for the work being
performed reorganising dust hazards and factors for different types of
respiratory protection.
4.0 INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 General
The phenomena of dust-induced ailment and disease only recently has been
understood. The causation factors of working in areas featuring high dust levels are
now clearly understood and the long term consequences created from working in
such high risk environments have forced companies placing greater level of care on
employees.
The physiological damage of working in environments where high levels of dust
exist can be simply explained by the damage caused to the lungs, this may result in
a host of respiratory diseases, heart disease and pulmonary ailments.
