8.2. SAFETY HELMET

1) Each person on site shall wear approved safety helmets when on the project site.Exclusions to this are within offices and fully enclosed vehicles/ equipment.

2) Hard hat usage will include the entire construction site, basically anywhere that work is

being carried out, supervised, or inspected- helmets must be worn. There are no

exceptions made for visitors/ operators outside their cabins, office staff, and senior

management.

3) Holes must not be made in safety hats as these lessen the ability to withstand impact.

4) Safety hats should not be painted as solvents in some paints could cause them to

become brittle.5) All helmets must have the company name and/ or logo that the wearer works for to be

marked clearly visible on the helmet. Loose fittings / broken / substandard helmets will

be confiscated and the worker will not be permitted on the site.

8.3. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Before any work commences that requires respiratory protection, a confined space inspection

must be requested and carried out by CONTRACTOR Safety Department in conjunction with

Client Safety Department. Simply wearing respiratory equipment is not sufficient to protect

against many on the dangers associated with working with gases and vapors.

1) When respiratory protective equipment is required, only the specified equipment shall

be use, wore correctly, maintained properly and stored in the correct manner.

2) Only approved respiratory protective devices shall be provided and used to protect

against exposure to hazardous atmospheres containing dusts, fibers, fumes, mists, gases,

vapors, other contaminants, atmospheres deficient in oxygen, or otherwise considered

immediately dangerous to life or health.

13.5 Manual lifting and carrying

Many accidents on construction sites are caused by the incorrect method used to lift objectsmanually, and trying to move objects are too heavy for the person(s) trying to do. There are

correct method for lifting things as a team or individually. The most important part of any lift is

to stop for a few minutes and think. Can I lift this safety. If not, get more help or call for a

forklift/crane.

Follow the following points:

If the load is too heavy-ask for help

Remember it is very easy to get hurt carrying heavy loads

Take special care when carrying long material around corners-there might be someone

coming

Every person can safety carry a different load-not all personnel can carry the same

weight

The knees must be used to lift object not the lower back

Loads must never be carried up ladders. A material hoist or block and tackle must be

used instead
