project boundaries;
adjacent land use;
access; and
measures to exclude unauthorised people.
Managing site access
Site boundaries: You need to define boundaries physically, where necessary, by suitable fencing. The type of fencing should
reflect the nature of the site and its surroundings.
Determining the boundary is an important aspect of managing public risk. You need to:
Authorisation: The principal contractor must take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised people accessing the site.
People may be authorised to access the whole site or be restricted to certain areas;
You must explain relevant site rules to authorised people and undertake any necessary site induction;
You may need to supervise or accompany some authorised visitors while they are on site or visiting specific areas.
Hazards causing risk to the public
Many hazards have the potential to injure members of the public and visitors. Consider if they exist on your project and how
you will manage them.
Falling objects - You must make sure objects cannot fall outside the site boundary. On scaffolds you can achieve this using
toe-boards, brick guards and netting. You may also need fans and/or covered walkways.

Delivery and other site vehicles - Make sure pedestrians cannot be struck by vehicles entering or leaving the site. Obstructing
the pavement during deliveries may force pedestrians into the road, where they can be struck by other vehicles.
Scaffolding and other access equipment - Prevent people outside the boundary being struck while they are erecting,
dismantling and using scaffolding and other access equipment.
Storing and stacking materials - You can reduce the risks associated with the storage of materials by storing materials within
the site perimeter, preferably in secure compounds or away from the perimeter fencing.
Openings and excavations - People can be injured if they fall into excavations, manholes, stairwells or from open floor edges.
You’ll need to put up barriers or covers.
Other hazards include -
slips, trips and falls within pedestrian areas;
plant, machinery and equipment;
hazardous substances;
electricity and other energy sources;
dust, noise and vibration; and
road works.
Vulnerable groups
The elderly, children and people with certain disabilities may need special attention. Work in premises such as schools and
hospitals needs careful thought and planning.
Some children are drawn to construction sites as exciting places to play. You must do everything you can to keep them out of
the site and away from danger.
the requirements for handling, storage, and disposal of material. It specifically addresses the requirements
for storing material in an open yard; stacking bagged material; storing material in bulk; storing lumber;
storing bricks and masonry blocks; handling and storing cement and lime; handling and storing
reinforcing sheet and structural steel; handling and storing pipe, conduit, and cylindrical material; storing
sand, gravel, and crushed stone; handling and storing flammable and combustible liquids; handling
asphalt and tar products; handling liquified petroleum gas; and housekeeping.
Store materials in a planned and orderly manner that does not endanger employee safety. Ensure stacks,
tiers, and piles are stable and stacked to aid safe handling and loading. Store hazardous materials in
accordance with the individual requirements. Store all materials on pallets to discourage rodent
infestation. Immediately clean up spills and leaks that create such rodent habitat. Use slings to hoist
bagged material, lumber, bricks, masonry blocks, and similar loosely stacked materials only if the slings
are fully secured against falling by straps, sideboards, nets, or other suitable devices.
Storing materials in an open yard requires attention to combustible materials, access, powerlines, and fire
protection.
Combustible Materials. Stack combustible materials securely. Stacks or piles must be no more than 16
feet high. Store combustible material at least 10 feet away from a building or structure.
Access.
Driveways between and around combustible storage piles must be at least 15 feet wide. Keep them free
from accumulations of material or rubbish. Use a map grid system of 50 by 150 feet when planning
driveways in open-yard combustible material storage areas.
Powerlines. Do not store materials under power lines or where materials may block egress or emergency
equipment.
Fire Protection. Provide portable fire extinguishing equipment rated 2-A:40-B:C at accessible marked
locations in the yard so that the nearest extinguisher is no more than 50 feet away for a Class B hazard or
75 feet away for a Class A hazard.

Storing materials indoors requires attention to access, fire prevention and protection, floor loading, and
overhead hazards. Buildings under construction require special precautions.
Access. Place or store materials so they do not interfere with access ways, doorways, electrical panels,
fire extinguishers, or hoistways. Do not obstruct access ways or exits with accumulations of scrap or
materials. Aisles must be wide enough to accommodate forklifts or firefighting equipment.
Fire Prevention.
When storing, handling, and piling materials, consider the fire characteristics. Store noncompatible
materials that may create a fire hazard at least 25 feet apart or separate them with a barrier having at least
a 1-hour fire rating. Pile material to minimize internal fire spread and to provide convenient access for
firefighting.
Store materials inside buildings under construction at least 6 feet away from any hoistway or inside floor
openings, and 10 feet away from an exterior wall that does not extend above the top of the material
stored.
Locate stockpiles to provide safe access for withdrawing material. Material or vertical faces must not
overhang. Store material against walls or partitions only in an amount that will not endanger the stability
of the wall or partition.

all time during which an employee is required to be on duty and/or to be at a prescribed workplace;
all time during which an employee is permitted to work; and
rest periods of short duration during working hours.

of an additional compensation equivalent to his regular wage plus at least 25% thereof.
Work performed beyond eight hours on a holiday or rest day shall be paid an additional compensation equivalent to the rate

Article 88 of the Labor Code enunciates that undertime work on a business day shall not be offset by overtime work on any
other day. The law discourages the offset because the hourly rate of overtime is higher than the hours missed when an
employee works for less than eight hours.
Permission given to the employee to go on leave for a day in a regular work week shall not exempt the employer from paying
the additional compensation required for the overtime work done.
An employee may be required to perform overtime work in any of the following cases:
1. When the country is at war or when any other national or local emergency has been declared by the National
Assembly or the Chief Executive;
2. When it is necessary to prevent loss of life or property in cases of imminent danger to public safety due to actual or
impending emergencies in the locality caused by serious accidents, fire, flood, typhoon, earthquake, epidemic or any
other disaster;
3. When there is urgent work to be performed on machines, installations, or equipment, in order to avoid serious loss
or damage to the employer or some other cause of similar nature;
4. When the work is necessary to prevent loss or damage to perishable goods; and
5. Where the completion or continuation of the work started before the eighth hour is necessary to prevent serious
obstruction or prejudice to the business or operations of the employer.
The employer shall determine and schedule the weekly rest day of his employees to be subject to collective bargaining
agreement and to such rules and regulations as the Secretary of Labor and Employment may provide. However, the employer
shall respect the preference of employees as to their weekly rest day when such preference is based on religious grounds.
