3.1 Social Safeguard Compliance Status

3.1.1 Compensation

During the site visit the study team did not encounter any compensation related dispute in

the study area. All project activities are ongoing within demarcated land boundary owned by

DESCO. Thus, compensation related issue is not found by the study team withtin this phase

of the study.

3.1.2 Livelihoods and employment

Local people stated that the Project has no threat for the existing livelihoods, but came to

them as blessings to for smoothening the DESCO distribution system.Besides, they consider

this project as the generation of working opportunities for labours within the DESCO circle

area.

The monitoring team found that a number of workers (5%) came from the localityand rest of

the workers join as the workforce from different districts for the construction of watch tower,

cline the Sub Station yard, color the building, GIS setup, testing and commissioning, RCC

road construction work and other minor activities were observed to be initiated in the project

sites.

According to a working laborer, at present about 140 laborers are working in the five sites

whereas about ninety (95) laborers join as the workforce from Kurigram, Joypurhat, Tangail,

Rangpur, Gaibanda, Dinajpur, Netrokona, Jamalpur, Barisal, Magura and Kishorganj

districts. The labors of the construction area are satisfied by their wages in comparison to

the wage rate of project surroundings. The wage rate of unskilled/semiskilled labors varies

from BDT 400 to BDT 500 in the project site while for the skilled workers it is up to BDT 750

for the respective works.

3.1.3 Occupational Health, Safety and Security

HYOSUNG Corporationis aware to ensure the health, safety and security of the labourers at

all project sites. They have the provision to manage any accidental case through written

agreements with the adjacent hospitals. The ambulance service will be available if any

accidental case occurred during the project implementation. Still, there is no major

accidental case reported except 2 minor accidents at Banani and Tongi sub stations

(CEGIS, June 2018).

Based on the findings, three substations have enough first aid set up for primary treatment

but the facilities of first Aid Box for the Banani and Tongi sites is not in the satisfactory

level. All emergency numbers were pasted around the project site to call and carry injured

patient at the adjacent local hospitals.

3.1.4 Labor and Working Condition.

The EPC contructor providesadequate safety equipment for laborers (like helmet, shoes,

gown and other safety equipment) but the utilization of the safety tools is not in satisfactory

level during this study period.

In some cases, it is found that the availability and use of earmuff is not sufficient in relation

to the number of workers working during the construction.

There areseventeenth (17) toilets (Aftabnagar 4, Uttara third phase 5 and Purbachal 3, tongi

2, Banani 3)and 6 kitchens facilities in the three sub-stations (Uttara third phase2, while

Purbachal,Aftabnagar, Banani and Tongi each have one (1) kitchen. Site specific

photographs regarding the working condition is presented at the appendix 4.

The use of PPE is still not in satisafactory level. It is required to improve the status of PPE in

which the working environment will comply in relation to ADB social safeguard policy and

ADB and Bangladesh government loan covenants. Exisiitng practice of PPE use is

specified in the following table 3.2.

Due to the lack of labor shed, presently, the migrated laborers are living with poor

accommodation facilities. According to the findings, there is a need to improve the labor

shed quality and increase the number of toilet facilities.

According to the present study fidings, it is essential to draw the attention for ensuring

adequate accommodation facilities using standard materials. Besides, safe drinking water,

hygienic sanitation and proper medical facilities for the labourers needs to be complied fully

within the next phase of monitoring.

The project authority stated earlier that all these facilities will be improved before starting the

work in construction phase. At present some activities in construction phase has already

been started but scenario of the above mentioned facilities remain unchanged. So, it is a

matter of concern for the project authority to pursue the EPC contractor as well as

subcontractors to ensure standard accommodation facilities for all laborers.

3.2 Compliance status with ADB loan covenants

4. Stakeholder Consultations

Several stakeholder consultations were held in the study area. These consultations were held

comprising of different stakeholders such as project affected people (PAPs, local DESCO officials,

representatives from HYOSUNG and other local concerned people). These stakeholders were

brought together through prior contacts. Several issues were discussed in the meeting regarding the

project. In consultation meetings, the participants expressed their opinion spontaneously, and the

monitoring team recorded all the information delivered in the meeting. Participants list presented in

Appendix 3 and Photos added in Appendix4.

5. Conclusions and Recommendations

This social safeguard monitoring was conducted at the five (5) sites and observed the

compliance status based on ADB safeguard policy, EMP provided in the EIA, Government of

Bangladesh (GoB) and ADB loan covenant. For the social safeguard monitoring,

occupational health and safety, and workers’ wellbeing, impacts and benifits of community

people due to construction have been observed and site specific compliance provided

through monthly field visit based on prepared selected variables and indicators. In addition, a

corrective action plan has been prepared for non-complaince issues addressed during the

field visit.

To make the process more smooth and efficient, the following recommendations are

proposed by the study team should be followed to address the non –complaince issues at

this stage of project implementation.

More awareness is to be created among the workers and community dwellers

regarding the health and safety risks associated with the construction phase of

the project. Besides, one paramedic doctors, and an ambulance need to be made

available for the labors in case of any injury and accident.

Weekly toolbox meetings on health and safety, as well as the other governing

environmental and social issues should be initiated.

Increased awareness on child labor; confining the involvements of labors below

18 years of age to light works (works not connected with heavy loads).

Emergency preparedness and response plan; fire prevention, protection and

control plan;

Though construction materials like sand and soil were not covered with polythene

at any site. This might cause dust pollution in dry condition. Hence, it is required

to cover the construction materials properly;

It is obligatory to provide hearing protection equipment to the employees who are

exposed to loud noise;

Separate dustbins should be used for both disposal and non disposal waste

during construction;

The level of safety for workers must be enhanced with comprehensive

enforcement on PPE usage, and regular (at least four times a day) health and

safety supervision should be carried out;

Workers working condition i.e. accommodation, drinking water, sanitation and

medical facilities has remained same as it was in earlier phase of monitoring;

The sanitation system for labor must be improved up to a healthy and desirable

level;

The labor sheds must be improved up to a comfortable, useable and desirable

level for construction workers and security force;

Recruitment of more local labor in the newly constructed sites would certainly

improve the economic condition of local people; Rationalized work permit system

and enhanced medical support at site should be maintained.
