SECTION 1: GENERAL
Objective
The primary objective of our organization is to ensure and enforce effective safety
management to eliminate accident in all job sites, and to maintain a conducive
environment and infrastructural facilities at work places with due consideration for
occupational health and safety legislation.
An awareness of safety culture will be developed for building and maintaining an

effective accident prevention program by pertaining on the job safety training and
following safe operating procedure of all activities involved in this project. It is our
firm belief that if the procedure and code of practices are rigorously followed, we
can reach our objective of achieving “ZERO INJURIES”.
Project HSSE Objectives
Project HSSE objective is to achieve best HSSE performance through:
 Apply a “zero philosophy” as the standard for health, safety and the
environment.
 Continuously develop an HSSE culture to reduce human error and focus
on individual commitment, responsibility and accountabilities.
 Encourage open communication and employee participation in all
activities related to improvement and fulfilment of all Health, Safety and
Environmental issues.
 Seek continuous improvement to achieve “best practice”.
 Identify and analyse all hazards to personnel, working environment,
external environment and company assets, initiate corrective actions and
verify that corrective actions are effective.
 Maintain a Management System in compliance with statutory
requirements,
 Ensure that a process of continual improvement is achieved through
periodic objective setting, auditing and performance reviews.
Activity specific HSSE Objectives can be established after reviewing the

Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment. Identify the areas where there
is a scope for improvement and establish HSSE Objectives &
Management programs.
Use following guideword to establish HSSE Objectives & Management program
 Eliminate: Eliminate the hazards altogether or combat the risk at source,

(Eliminate all hazardous events, usage of hazardous substances,
unsuitable equipment).
 Provision of Substitution: Use of safe substances or defining the
method statements defining alternative ways of carrying out field tasks to

the job site.
Medical Fitness for employees–A building worker who is employed for a work
involving risk or hazards, inherent in such work is medically examined by medical
officer as per BOCWA, Chapter XXIV, 223.
SECTION 2: ELEMENTS OF CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
Planning:
Detailed planning should take the following matters in to account;
 Obtaining work specific permits like;

o Permit for work at Height
o Hot work permit
o Excavation permit
o Night work permit
o Confined space Entry permit
o Permit for Lifting Operation
o Permit to work – Risers and Lift Shafts
o General Work Permit
o Electrical Work Permit
 Know hazardous operations eg. Use of cranes and site transport, structural
erection, excavation and false work, scaffolding, roof work, demolition etc.
 Requirement for plant and equipment to ensure safe working or ease of
handling
 Sequence of work and its phasing between contractors to minimize the
possibility of one contractor placing another contractor’s men at risk, where
appropriate the segregation of contractors should be considered
 Need to provide information, instruction and appropriate training, both on
general site safety and hazardous specific in the site. The latter could range
from restricted zones, Permit-to-work systems, lifting operation to the wearing
of Personal protective equipment
 Need for fire precautions and emergency procedures
 Need for environmental monitoring and health surveillance
 Site security and foreseeable risks to the public, including the need for
directional and warning signs
 Safe access across the site for persons, vehicles and equipment. Thought
should be given to arrangements for keeping the site tidy, accommodation for
site staff, safety welfare, first aid and other facilities
 Provision of safe places of work at different stages of the job including the
provision of scaffolding, ladders for a number of sub-contractors
Control:
Sub and works contractors shall be briefed about the safety policy and site including
site specific safety procedures of the prime contractor at the pre-bid meeting itself

and further reiterated during the kick-off meeting. Responsibilities of all parties shall
be clearly defined before contractors start work at site. Such matters should include:
 Appropriate precautions and methods for identified hazards or hazardous work

 Necessary plant, equipment and arrangements for its provision, maintenance use
and inspection
 Question of trade union or other workforce safety representation and the need for
a joint safety committee
 A formal joint safety committee must be appointed to review results and to initiate
further actions (should be done either during kick-off meeting or subsequently)
 Arrangement for initiation of introduction training for new states on site
 Arrangements for any specialized training
 Arrangements for promulgating safety and health information e.g. On-site notice
boards
It is important that such safety and health arrangements are reviewed at the Kick-off
meeting as well as first project and first Safety meeting, where the site management
can set the tone for the conduct of work by resolving at an early stage the difficulties
which may arise at a later date. It is expected that each subcontractor will provide
employees adequately licensed (if required for specific works), trained and capable of
doing the specialty work.
Coordination:
The Site In-charge appointed by the prime contractor shall be totally responsible for
compliance with this health and safety code. The contractor must appoint a Chief
Safety Officer and form a “contractor safety committee” along with safety
representatives from its sub-contractors. This committee will be chaired by the Site
In-charge and meet at least once a week to review status on HSSE issues. It is
expected that each contractor and sub-contractor will participate in Daily “Tool Box
Talks” and other safety meeting to co-ordinate project work for the day across trades.
The site in-charge must make suitable arrangements to ensure the effective co-
ordination of the work of all its sub-contractors on site. Clear lines of communication
should be set up between each sub-contractor’s Safety Officer and Safety officer of
the prime Contractor. Effective co-ordination will be enhanced by ensuring that
‘Safety and Health’ figures prominently on the agenda of regular project meetings, as
well as Safety meetings. For better coordination on project related HSSE issues, the
safety meeting participants shall include Project Manager, Project Manager’s Safety
representative, all contractor’s safety representatives along with Owner’s safety rep.
Project Manager’s Safety officer shall convene this meeting and participants from all
contractor’s safety representatives will be mandatory. Minutes of this meting shall be
circulated to all concerned.
Monitoring:
Arrangements must be made for safety and health monitoring of the site on a regular
basis. This will include, not only ensuring the safety issues associated with working
at heights, excavations, working with energy sources, etc. but also environmental
matters such as hazardous dust, fumes, noise etc. In all cases, the contractor’s Site-
In-charge shall ensure that daily site inspections are carried out by the contractor’s
Safety Officer, more in depth inspection being done periodically by visiting safety
advisor. It may be necessary for arrangements to be made for specialist
occupational health and hygiene advice. The checklist for daily inspection is provided
which must be included in the Behavior Observation Process (BOP).

Records:
The prime contractor should ensure that all statutory notification, examinations and
inspections are carried out. Except for equipment used exclusively by individual
contractors, all records should be kept & updated by the contractor’s Site In-charge.
This individual shall also keep track of all Safety statistics and send report to Project
Manager on periodic basis, as determined by Project Manager.
Non Compliance with Safety and Health Provisions:

The compliance with Environmental Health and Safety provisions is of utmost
importance to the Owner. The contractors must note that the Owner will take a
serious view of any Safety non-compliance notices. The Owner has a right to order
stoppage of work till rectification is carried out to the satisfaction of the safety
committee or safe arrangements are made for the execution of work and all
stoppages on this account will be at the entire risk, costs and consequences of the
contractor. The non-conformances will be issued a safety inspection report, and Non-
Conformity Notice will be issued upon failure to comply safety inspection report. And
Penalty will be imposed upon failure to close NCN as per timeline given on NCN.
Disciplinary action:
Noncompliance of the Safety and Health Provisions will result in disciplinary action as
per the procedure below:
1st time violation: Written warning

2nd time violation: Imposition of penalty as deemed fit by Project Manager
3rd time violation: Removal from site
In the event of the offender bringing itself or others in direct life threatening situation
or where he/she creates a large material damage, will result in immediate removal
from site. Repeated violations by a contracting company shall lead to termination of
contract and removal of contracting firm from the job site. Any losses incurred by the
contracting company, whatsoever, shall be the responsibility of contracting company.
Imposition of penalties for non-compliance with HSSE guidelines:

The contractor will be required to comply with all the requirements laid down in these
HSSE guidelines, Special safety conditions, General conditions of contract and any
other safety requirements as a matter of general prudence. Upon failure to comply
with any of these, Project Manager & C&W HSSE Representative is authorized to
impose penalty on the contractor as per the details below;

the unsafe acts and or conditions mentioned above. The Project Manager’s Safety
officer shall have the right to impose heavy penalty for any other life threating safety
violations / unsafe acts / deviations depending upon the gravity of the situation on a
case-to-case basis.
SECTION 3: SAFETY AUDITS
1) It is essential to conduct formal periodic safety audits using Cushman & Wakefield
Standard Audit System to prevent deviations from safety standards.
2) The audit should take the form of a full survey covering all aspects of safety
throughout the project site. Reports should be submitted to the Safety Committee.
Copies of the results of a survey should be sent to the persons in charge of the
respective areas so that corrective measures can be taken. A copy of the Audit
report should also be sent to the HSSE Head, India and Vertical Heads.
3) Audit team should cover the following aspects:
 Organization
 Accident control
 Hygiene facilities
 Electrical systems
 Fire prevention
 Demarcated areas
 Mechanical equipment
 Safe work practices
 Storage areas
 Material stacking

4) Findings of the safety audits shall be sent to Safety committee and also be
discussed in the Safety committee meetings.
5) Work place audits should also be carried out at job site frequently (at least every
week) conducted by representatives of respective contractors to make sure that all
Safety provisions are getting complied with. These should primarily focus on Safe
working systems, Housekeeping, Machine guarding and use of PPE. Results of
these audits shall be reported to the Safety committee.

SECTION 4: ACCIDENT PREVENTION, REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION
Definition:
An accident is commonly defined as: “An unplanned event which may or may not
result in injury or damage”.
As is clear from the definition, an accident need not necessarily involve either injury
or damage to person or property. A “near miss” is by definition an accident and
should be regarded as a warning that a problem exists and that some action is
required to avoid a possible accident/ incident in future.
Causes of Accidents:
88% of all accidents are caused by human error, 10% are caused by mechanical
failures and the other 2% are considered outside human control eg. Earth quakes.
The likely causes of accidents should be identified in advance and the appropriate
action taken to ensure that the accident never actually takes place. The most
important and effective accident prevention technique is training the actions and
attitudes of all personnel.
Accident Recording and Investigation

It is essential to have an effective management system for recording accidents. All
accidents should be thoroughly investigated. A near miss or incident should be
investigated as though an accident had occurred. The prime objective of all
investigations of this type is to identify the causes in order to eliminate the risk. Such
aspects as systems training and guarding should all be considered in addition to
what actually happened and why.
The accidents record should include accidents to employees and non employees on
company premises i.e. Contractors, construction workers, maintenance workers,
visitors etc. and to those using company vehicles.
Supervisory staff and, when possible, department personnel should be involved in

any investigation relating to their area of control and should be delegated in writing to
conduct a detailed analysis of the causes. They should determine how best to
prevent a recurrence and this should be taken into account in the report. The depth of
the investigation and the effectiveness of the follow up action should be monitored.
Records of all accidents must be kept to enable statistics to be analyzed and root
causes determined.
Incident Control System

Unsafe acts & conditions and “near misses”, if they are not dealt with appropriately,
can turn into accidents. It is essential that companies operate an incident control
system to ensure that these potential hazards are reported and eliminated. The
system should;
 Ensure that whenever possible safety representatives and other employees
are involved
 Encourage any person to register an unsafe action or conditions
 Ensure that reports are recorded and acted upon
 Identify the responsibility for investigation and for carrying out corrective
action
 Specify the time within which the corrective action should be completed or
progress reported

 Ensure that a report is made to management and to the originator when
corrective action has been completed
Levels of Accident Investigation:

The type or level of accident investigation depends on the nature and seriousness of
the incident. In most cases, an “Accident and Incident investigation panel” wil be
formed which will determine the appropriate level of investigation.
Types of Investigation:
 A full investigation which requires a panel including a Project Manager, Safety
Officer and Contractor’s Safety representative and Owner’s Safety
representative or a panel as determined by Owner/ Project Manager
 A departmental investigation involving the departmental manager(s) the
safety officers and the appropriate supervisor
 An investigation by the supervisor involving, where appropriate, the
employees concerned
Lost Time Accidents (LTA):

This refers to the total number of accidents of all types which result in lost man hours.
Lost man hours occur if the person involved is unable to return to normal duties
immediately after any treatment.
Reportable Accidents:
When an employee, as a result of a lost time accident, is absent from work for more
than one day (48 hour), then this will be recorded not only as a lost time accident but
also a reportable accident. Brief details of each reportable accident and the steps
taken to avoid repetition should be given in the Project Mangers monthly Report.
Serious Accident:
This is an accident which causes death or serious injury e.g. a broken limb,
amputation serious burns etc., or hospitalization for one or more nights.
In addition any escape of gases/toxics substances, which affect the environment and
the surrounding area / community even if it does not cause injury to people, is
considered a serious accident.
This definition applies to employees and non employees, the yardstick that defines
whether it is a serious accident in site terms is whether the victim was on company
premises on company business, or using company equipment or transport. Thus if
an operating company is in any way involved in a serious accident then it must be
fully investigated and reported to company management.
Incident / Near Miss:

This can be described as an undesired event which, under slightly different
circumstances, could have resulted in an accident.
Reporting Accidents/ Incidents/ Near Misses:

All Accidents/ Near misses must be reported to Project managers of the company
immediately, with brief details. A preliminary report will then be submitted by the
Project Manager to the Zonal Associate Director and Executive Director, as per the
procedure outlined in Project Management firm’s Standard Operating Procedures. A
full and final report will subsequently need to be prepared and submitted. The
contractor shall submit the report in the standardized format attached with these
HSSE guidelines.

Reporting Accident Statistics:
Accident statistics reported to company should be based on employees at job site.

Accidents to non-employees (vendors or sub-vendors) should be reported as
separate statistics.
Statistical formulae:
Lost time Accidents: This is the total number of accidents including all reportable and
serious accidents
Reportable Accident: This is the number of accidents where an employee is absent

from work for more than 48 hours consecutively (excluding the day of accident).
Percentage man hours lost: This is the total number of hours lost expressed as a
percentage of total man hours worked.
Total Man hours lost X 100%

Total man hours worked
The lost time accidents, reportable accidents and percentage man hours lost should
be adjusted monthly as part of the Project Manager’s review. The figures given in
each category should be for the month under review, the year to date and the
previous year to date.
Accident Frequency rate:

This is the total number of lost time accidents per 1 million man hours worked by
permanent and temporary employees
Total number of lost time accidents X 1,000,000
Total number of man hours worked
Accident incident rate:

This is the total number of any accidents per 1000 employees.
Total number of lost time accident X 1000

Average number of persons employed
For this calculation the total number of employees should be averaged out over the
year. Part time employees should be included in proportion to the time worked.
The accident frequency rate and accident incidence rate should be calculated
annually and reported in the year end results.
In addition to the statistics referred to above, all data pertaining to incidents must also
be kept at site.
SECTION 5: MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY
Management has both moral and legal responsibility to ensure that a well developed
Safety program is in place. The contractors are obligated to provide;
 Safe place of work, which includes safe means of access and exit during
normal daily work routine as well as in emergencies

Management must still take overall responsibility for executive action with a view to
ensuring that health and safety arrangements are checked regularly and that the
health and safety policy as a whole is being implemented properly.
SECTION 8: FIRST AID AND EMERGENCIES
Trained First Aid Person

A contractor shall provide, or ensure that required number of suitable persons as
adequate and appropriate are provided in the circumstances for rendering first aid to
people deployed at site if they are injured or become ill at work. The trained first aid
person should have undergone:

a) Such training and has qualifications as the Health and Safety Executive may
approve for the time being in respect of that case or the class of case, and
b) Such additional training, if any, as may be appropriate in the circumstances of
that case.
In practice, (a) refers to a trained first aider and (b) to an occupational first aider. In
addition, a person who holds a current first aid certificate issued by registered
medical association or Indian Red Cross Society will be classed as a “Suitable
Person” for the purposes of regulation.
The contractors shall ensure that sufficient first aides are appointed to provide
adequate coverage for each shift. Provisions for medical care must be made
available by the contractor for every employee covered by the regulations. In the
absence of dispensaries, clinics, or hospitals in proximity to the work site, properly
trained and certified first aid personnel must be available, and first aid supplies must
be provided by the contractor. Appropriate equipment for transportation of injured
personnel to a physician or hospital must be provided for. An emergency plan,
medical care, firefighting and evacuation plan must be developed by the main
contractor.
First Aid Kit:

Regardless of the number of people there must be at least one first-aid box on site.
Every first aide and occupational first aider should have easy access to first-aid
equipment, and provision should be made for every person to have reasonably rapid
access to first aid. Each box should be placed in a clearly identified and readily
accessible location, and contain a sufficient quantity of suitable first-aid materials and
nothing else. Boxes and kits should be checked frequently to ensure they are fully
stocked and all items are in a usable condition. Sufficient quantities of each item
should always be available in every first aid box or cabinet.

and be clearly marked with a white cross on green background
First Aid Rooms:

Where there are 250 or more persons at work on site, a suitably staffed and
equipped first-aid room should be provided. In addition, where there is a large (over
150) number of employees divided into several dispersed working groups, or the
location of the site makes access to places of treatment outside difficult, the
contractor should consider whether a centralized first-aid room may be needed.
A First aid room should:

 Be under the charge of an occupational first aider in most circumstances:
names and locations of all first aiders should be displayed
 Be readily available and used only for the rendering of first aid
 Be clearly identified and of sufficient size to allow access for a stretcher,
wheelchair, etc. And hold a couch with space for people to work around it
 Contain in addition to the previously mentioned first aid materials: a sink with

Purpose
This procedure established for the minimum requirements for lockout of energy
sources that could cause injury to personnel. All employees shall comply with the
procedure.
Responsibility
The responsibility for seeing that this procedure is followed is binding upon all
employees. All employees shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout
procedure by (designated individual). Each new or transferred affected employee
shall be instructed by (designated individuals) in the purpose and use of the lockout
procedure.
Preparation for Lockout
Employees authorized to perform lockout shall be certain as to which switch, valve,

or other energy isolating devices apply to the equipment being locked out. More than
one energy source (electrical, mechanical, or others) may be involved. Any
questionable identification of sources shall be cleared by the employees with their
supervisors. Before lockout commences, job authorization should be obtained.
Sequence of Lockout Procedure
 Notify all affected employees that a lockout is required and the reason
therefore.
 If the equipment is operating, shut it down by the normal stopping procedure
(such as: depress stop button, open toggle switch).

 Operate the switch, valve, or other energy isolating devices so that the energy
source(s) (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and other) is disconnected or
isolated from the equipment.
 Lockout energy isolating devices with an assigned individual lock.
 Stored energy, such as that in capacitors, springs, elevated machine
members, rotating fl y wheels, hydraulic systems, and air, gas, steam or water
pressure, must also be dissipated or restrained by methods such as
grounding, repositioning, blocking, and bleeding down.
 After ensuring that no personnel are exposed and as a check on having
disconnected the energy sources, operate the push button or other normal
operating controls to make certain the equipment will not operate. CAUTION:
Return operating controls to neutral position after the test.
 The equipment is now locked out.
Restoring Equipment to Service
 When the job is complete and equipment is ready for testing or normal
service, check the equipment area to see that no one is exposed.
 When equipment is clear, remove all locks. The energy isolating devices may
be operated to restore energy to equipment.
Procedure Involving More Than One Person
In the preceding steps, if more than one individual is required to lock out equipment,
each shall place his/her own personal lock on the energy isolating device(s). One
designated individual of a work crew or a supervisor, with the knowledge of the crew,
may lock out equipment for the whole crew. In such cases, it may be the
responsibility of the individual to carry out all steps of the lockout procedure and
inform the crew when it is safe to work on the equipment. Additionally, the designated
individual shall not remove a crew lock until it has been verified that all individuals are
clear.
Rules for Using Lockout Procedure
All equipment shall be locked out to protect against accidental or inadvertent

operation when such operation could cause injury to personnel. Do not attempt to
operate any switch, valve, or other energy isolating device bearing a lock.
Portable Electrical Hand Tools
The portable electrical hand tools & inspection lamp in underground or confined
space at excavation or tunneling work shall be of 24 volt. The risk of severe
shock is very low with 24 volts circuits. Low voltage appliances are therefore

SECTION 25: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Environmental Protection Guideline
The program provides a structured means of documenting the project's efforts to

anticipate identify, evaluate and control occupational exposures to hazardous
chemicals and physical agents.
The programs include the following elements.
 Evaluation and examination of the project

 Interpretation of gathered data
 Preparation and Implementation of control measures
Respiratory Protection
Respirator use provides the first line of employee protection against airborne
contaminants.
Employees who, in the course of their job, may be required to use respiratory
protection will meet all the requirements outlined in Section 4. The highlights of the
standard are (1) employees must be trained in the use and limitations of the
equipment; (2) respiratory equipment must be clean, inspected and stored in a
sanitary manner; (3) employees must be medically qualified to wear the equipment
and perform the work; and (4) employees must complete an annual fit test.
It must be stressed, however, that if job conditions change and respiratory protection
is needed, employees not qualified to wear respirators will be removed from the job.
Jobs will be closely monitored to ensure that the conditions associated with the job
remain consistent.
Silica
Silica containing material will not be used as a blasting agent in the project. The
health concerns of employee exposure to airborne silica far outweigh any benefits
that silica sand possesses during sandblasting. Blasting agents such “copper slag” is
approved for use on the project.
Welding
Welding, Cutting or Heating of Metals of Toxic Significance - Welding, cutting or

heating of any the metals specified below must be protected by local exhaust
ventilation or by airline respirators.
a. Metals containing lead, other than as an impurity, or metals coated with lead-
bearing materials.
b. Metals coated with mercury-bearing metals, cadmium bearing or cadmium-

coated base metals.
c. Beryllium-containing base or filler metals. (Because of its high toxicity, work

involving beryllium shall be done with both local exhaust ventilation and airline
respirator.)

a. Welding, cutting or heating of metals of toxic significance in the open air shall
use air-line or other approved filter-type respiratory protection.
b. Remove Zinc Oxide material from hot area.
Heat Stress
Contractors/Subcontractors will establish the necessary programs to ensure that

project employees work safely in heat stress conditions. The reduction of
adverse health effects can be accomplished by engineering controls, work
practices, training, acclimatization, monitoring, water and electrolyte balance
and the recognition and treatment of heat stress emergencies.
Environmental Protection
The following safety measures are taken to control environment pollution:
Air Dust
 Through it is not possible to totally prevent/eliminate the dust at construction

site; this can be reduced in the following way.
 Watering the haulage roads, stacking the material away from the site after
studying the direction of wind
 Location mixing plants in a manner that the wind carries dust away from
workers and equipment.
 All workers and employees use nose mask and safety goggles.
 Modifying the air cleaners and diesel engines
 Constructing dust free flooring in the site office, store, canteen etc
 Good housekeeping.
Ambient Air Monitoring:
Ambient air & Noise monitoring test carried out on every six month as per State
Pollution Control Board / CPCB Standard and necessary arrangement for elimination
of pollution and or suppression of dust and noise is must (Rule 34, 40, 43, 52 of
BOCW Central Rules).
Water pollution:
Drinking water testing get it done from MOEF/Government approved lab once in
month. Drinking water tank of labor colony, staff colony as well as sites cleaning
carried out once in a week and log book is maintained.
Accumulation of rain water is not allowed at site to prevent insects from spreading
disease.
Noise pollution
 There are several steps taken on site to reduce noise:

 All vehicle and diesel engines fitted exhaust outlets with silencers/ mufflers
and do not keep machineries running unnecessarily.

 It is strictly prohibited to keep compressor closed with cover when they are
in running condition.
 Check that concrete breaker/plugs provided if work is nearer to a noisy
machine.
 Training provided to all employees and workers.
 Keep the hearing protection clean and in a safe place when you are not
using.
 Moving employees from noise to quit areas at predefined intervals
 Training and information provided to employees and workers on exposure
times and control measures when working nearer to a noisy area.
 Designate and mark ear protection zone.
 Many noisy machine or hand operates tools transmit vibration to the body –
example: pneumatic rock drills or concrete breakers are common example.
In this way they can injure muscles and joints affect blood circulation
causing what is known as “white finger disease” when using-these tools you
should wear gloves, which help to engaged one by in order to reduce
exposure time to vibration.
