EWI 112 Rev. 0 01 Dec. 2017 Page 5 of 9

 floors with bunds around waste storage area to prevent from land & ground water
contamination

handling method statement approved by the project.
 MSDS will be made available, and easily accessible for all fuels and chemicals
stored.
 Emergency response plan will be followed to mitigate any impact from any
emergency situations and potential accidents.
 Hazardous liquid waste will be stored in a secure area with an impervious base
with bunds that has the capacity to contain 110% of the total volume of stored
materials. This area must be placed away from any sources of ignition.
 Fire prevention systems and pollution control equipment will be provided for
storage facilities where necessary, to prevent fires or the release of hazardous
materials to the environment.
3.4.2.6 Disposal: Disposed-off through approved environmental service providers, wherever
available to avoid heaping up huge quantity.
3.4.3 Non Hazardous Waste:
Wastes include liquids, semi-solids, solid or combination and gaseous material
which, because of the quantity, concentration, or chemical, physical, or infectious
characteristics, present or pose no substantial health hazard to man and/or his
environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise
managed.

the possibility of secondary ecological impact.
 For litter (food waste, domestic trash), an adequate number of bins will be
strategically placed throughout the site at locations where construction workers
and staff consume food. These will be regularly collected and taken to the main
waste storage area.
Disposal: Disposed-off daily if possible through approved environmental service
providers to prevent rodents and decaying & generation of foul smell.

 Where practicable, working method with least amount of waste shall be selected.
 Quantity to be procured shall be controlled as per the requirements to avoid
excess in order to reduce wastage.
 Minimising the potential for environmental and human health risks arising from
spills and leakages by, where possible, substituting hazardous materials with
non-hazardous materials.
 Conserving paper by making double sided copies, electronic filing, and avoiding
unnecessary copies and distribution where ever possible.
 Obtain construction materials, paints, lubricants and other liquids in reusable
packaging and containers where ever possible.
3.5.3 Waste Reuse
3.5.3.1 The following measures will be implemented to promote waste reuse:
 To the greatest extent practicable, excavated materials will be reused in filling
operations or in other processes.
 To the greatest extent possible materials are to be reused where practicable.
 Where possible, construction materials will be re-used. For example using
wooden pallets and other packaging materials for creating sign boards.
3.5.4 Waste Recycling
3.5.4.1 The recyclable wastes will be disposed through approved environmental service
provider capable of recycling the waste where practically feasible.
3.5.5 Encouraging housekeeping practices such as 5S as given below:
 Sorting: Only essential tools, materials etc. will be stored in site area; others will
be discarded from site and will be stored at separate location.
 Set in order: Raw materials and tools will be placed in an order to promote work
flow.
 Shine: At the end of each shift, work site will be cleaned up and all items will be
restored to its place.
 Standardizing: All site construction staff will be made aware of their
responsibility in keeping site area clean.
 Sustaining: Reviewing and sustaining the results achieved by the above four
steps.
3.5.6 Monitoring and Measurement
3.5.6.1 All types of waste (hazardous/non-hazardous) disposed-off from the
