3. MATERIAL STORAGE
C. HOUSEKEEPING
The OSH standards places a general obligation on employers to
furnish their workers with a place of employment free from hazardous
conditions that may cause death, illness or physical harm to their
workers and to the general public.
This includes providing a safe means of access and egress both
at the entrance to the project site and at all places within it.
a. Requirements

doorways and walkways clear of obstruction at all times.
Places of work, particularly those adjacent to dangerous machinery
shall be kept free from accumulation of waste.
Water and other hazardous agents such as oils, shall not be allowed
to accumulate on floors and wherever risk of spillage is considered
higher than normal. Suitable means of containing the spillage shall be
kept where it is readily available.
Materials shall be piled and stored in an orderly manner and
properly secured to prevent them from failing. Workers shall observe
the standard procedures and instructions on materials handling
applicable to their craft.
Materials shall not be stored in such a way that will obstruct fire
exits, the fire protection system, vehicular traffic, electrical boxes,
and/or stairways.
Spillage of oil, grease or other slippery substances shall be wiped off
removed from the ramps, pathways, shower rooms floor, etc.
Leftover on cutting the job such as lumber, rebar, steel, welding
butts, etc. shall not be left around where people may trip over them.
Otherwise, they shall be stored if still usable.
Waste or trash drums/cans in the work area shall be placed in
strategic locations.
Aisles and passage ways shall be properly lighted, marked and free
from obstruction.
Flammable liquids, oily rugs and other highly combustible materials
shall be disposed or stored properly.
The contractor shall regularly dispose all construction waste and

workforce, including those sub-contractors to be equally vigilant.
F. SMOKING
1. Smoking shall be prohibited during working hours at the project
construction site. Smoking shall only be allowed in the

5. Smoking in the prohibited areas shall be grounds for permanent
expulsions from the project construction site.
G.OFFICE SAFETY
a. Office Equipment
Office furniture shall be inspected when received so that burrs or
corners shall be removed immediately.
1. Desk drawers shall be kept close to prevent people from tripping
over these.
2. The plugs of all electric/ electronic office machines shall be

H.DEWATERING
Construction dewatering is a necessary operation on most
construction sites. Mostly, excavation collects rain water, ground or
seepage water within the work area. For construction projects, this
water needs to be removed before certain operation can be
performed or to keep work condition safe. It is typical for
contractors to use submersible pump to dewater such enclosed
area, this practice examines the best way to deal with this
discharge of collected water which is designated to:
Prevent the discharge water from eroding the soil on the site.
Choose the best location to discharge.
Preserve downgrading natural resources and property.
a. Safety Orientation
C. ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN
1. OBJECTIVE
Waste in the work place poses a great threat to the
environment, in the construction site however waste could not be
avoided but it can be minimize thru recycling or even good
housekeeping therefore it is essential to create environment
control plan not only will it minimized the waste it could also
minimize the expenses as well. This plan covers and should be
applied to all activities needed to complete the project.
2. RESPONSIBILITIES
a. Construction Safety Officer manage construction crews,
ensuring that each worker is following safety rules and
regulations.
b. Construction Safety Officer monitors manpower to ensure
there are no shortages. Communicates mandatory safety
standard to all contractors during the pre-bid walkthrough
stage and at pre-construction meetings, so there are no
questions about the rules before the job even begins.
c. The Project Safety Officer shall assist the CLIENT in the
implementation of this plan. He shall conduct daily inspection
c. EXHAUST EMISSION
1. Direct exhaust of stationery equipment away from work
areas and field offices.
2. Position machine or equipment in open areas.
