We will submit the following reports to the DOLE Regional Office concerned:
8.3.2 Summary of Work Accident/Illness Exposure Data Report will be submitted on or before
the 20th of the month following the date of occurrence of accident (for those projects with
short duration or less than one-year duration).
8.3.3 Annual Work Accident/Illness Report using the form DOLE/BWC/OHSD/IP – 6B for
those construction projects with more than one-year duration.
We comply with Rule 1412.09 of the DOLE OSH standard in providing a safe covered walkway over the
sidewalk for use by pedestrians in a building construction work less than 2.3 meter (7ft.) from a side
walk or public road.
We comply with Rule 1412.10 of the OSH Standard, Protection from Falling Materials. We observe the
following:
11.1 We will take the steps to protect worker from falling materials, such as the provisions of safety
helmets and safety shoes.
11.2 We will ensure that tools, objects and materials including waste materials) will not be thrown or
tipped from a height, but will be properly lowered by crane, hoist or chutes. If such is not
practicable, the area where the material is thrown will be fenced and no person will be allowed in
the fenced area.
12 Environmental Control
Page 10 of 23
12.1 All reasonable steps will be taken protect the environment. The collected silt
shall be thrown at the designated area prescribed by EDC.
12.2 All equipment shall be properly maintained to avoid emission to atmosphere.
12.3 Any chemical spill will be reported immediately.
12.4 Drip trays will be provided for vehicle / mobile equipment while being
repaired where there is a possibility of oil released.
12.5 Discovery of hazardous materials such as unexploded vintage bomb shall be
reported to the client and appropriate governmental agencies for proper handling.
Not applicable for no hazardous machinery will be used for the proposed project.
Section 6 of D.O. No. 13 requires that every employer shall, at his own expense, furnish his
workers with protective equipment for eyes, face, hands, feet, lifeline, safety belt/harness,
protective shields and barriers whenever necessary by reason of the hazardous work process or
environment, chemical or radiological or other mechanical irritants or hazards capable of causing
injury or impairment in the function or any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or
physical agent.
Provision of PPE shall be in accordance with Rule 1080 of the OSHS (must include Rule 1070 for
noise). The equivalent cost for the provision of PPE (life span, depreciation, replacement, etc.) shall
be an integral part of the project cost.
It is important that all PPE be kept clean and properly maintained. Cleaning is particularly important
for eye and face protection where dirty or fogged lenses could impair vision. Our workers or
employees inspect, clean, and maintain their PPE according to the manufacturers’ instructions before
and after each use. Our supervisors are responsible for ensuring that users properly maintain their
PPEs in good condition.
We enforce our rule that PPEs must not be shared between workers or employees until it has been
properly cleaned and sanitized. PPE are distributed for individual use whenever possible.
If workers or employees provide their own PPEs, we make sure that it is adequate for the work place
hazards, and that it is maintained in a clean and stored in a conducive condition.
Page 11 of 23
We never allow the use of defective or damaged PPEs. We immediately discard and replace them to
avoid any unintentional use.
We also consider the importance of ensuring that any contaminated PPE which cannot be
decontaminated is disposed of in a manner that protects workers or employees from exposure to
hazards.
Crushed hands and arms, severed fingers, blindness -- the list of possible machinery-related
injuries is as long as it is horrifying. There seem to be as many hazards created by moving machine
parts as there are types of machines. Safeguards are essential for protecting workers from needless
and preventable injuries.
A good rule to remember is: Any machine part, function, or process which many cause injury
must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact with it can injure the
operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be either controlled or eliminated.
This manual describes the various hazards of mechanical motion and presents some
techniques for protecting workers from these hazards. General information covered in this chapter
includes -- where mechanical hazards occur, the hazards created by different kinds of motions and
the requirements for effective safeguards, as well as a brief discussion of nonmechanical hazards.
The point of operation: that point where work is performed on the material, such as cutting,
shaping, boring, or forming of stock.
Power transmission apparatus: all components of the mechanical system which transmit energy
to the part of the machine performing the work. These components include flywheels, pulleys, belts,
connecting rods, couplings, cams, spindles, chains, cranks, and gears.
Other moving parts: all parts of the machine which move while the machine is working. These
can include reciprocating, rotating, and transverse moving parts, as well as feed mechanisms and
auxiliary parts of the machine.
A wide variety of mechanical motions and actions may present hazards to the worker. These
can include the movement of rotating members, reciprocating arms, moving belts, meshing gears,
cutting teeth, and any parts that impact or shear. These different types of hazardous mechanical
motions and actions are basic in varying combinations to nearly all machines, and recognizing them is
the first step toward protecting workers from the danger they present.
Motions
rotating (including in-running nip points)
reciprocating
transversing
Actions

bending
Page 12 of 23
Motions
Rotating motion can be dangerous; even smooth, slowly rotating shafts can grip clothing, and
through mere skin contact force an arm or hand into a dangerous position. Injuries due to contact
with rotating parts can be severe. Collars, couplings, cams, clutches, flywheels, shaft ends, spindles,
meshing gears, and horizontal or vertical shafting are some examples of common rotating
mechanisms which may be hazardous. The danger increases when projections such as set screws,
bolts, nicks, abrasions, and projecting keys or set screws are exposed on rotating parts.
In-running nip point hazards are caused by the rotating parts on machinery. There are three
main types of in-running nips. Parts can rotate in opposite directions while their axes are parallel to
each other. These parts may be in contact (producing a nip point) or in close proximity. In the latter
case the stock fed between the rolls produces the nip points. This danger is common on machines
with intermeshing gears, rolling mills, and calenders.
Nip points are also created between rotating and tangentially moving parts. Some examples
would be: the point of contact between a power transmission belt and its pulley, a chain and a
sprocket, and a rack and pinion. Nip points can occur between rotating and fixed parts which create
a shearing, crushing, or abrading action. Examples are: spoked handwheels or flywheels, screw
conveyors, or the periphery of an abrasive wheel and an incorrectly adjusted work rest.
Actions
Cutting action may involve rotating, reciprocating, or transverse motion. The danger of cutting
action exists at the point of operation where finger, arm and body injuries can occur and where flying
chips or scrap material can strike the head, particularly in the area of the eyes or face. Such hazards
are present at the point of operation in cutting wood, metal, or other materials.
Examples of mechanisms involving cutting hazards include bandsaws, circular saws, boring or
drilling machines, turning machines (lathes), or milling machines.
Punching action results when power is applied to a slide (ram) for the purpose of blanking,
drawing, or stamping metal or other materials. The danger of this type of action occurs at the point
of operation where stock is inserted, held, and withdrawn by hand.
Typical machines used for punching operations are power presses and iron workers.
Shearing action involves applying power to a slide or knife in order to trim or shear metal or
other materials. A hazard occurs at the point of operation where stock is actually inserted, held, and
withdrawn.
Bending action results when power is applied to a slide in order to draw or stamp metal or
other materials. A hazard occurs at the point of operation where stock is inserted, held, and
withdrawn.
Equipment that uses bending action includes power presses, press brakes, and tubing benders.
What must a safeguard do to protect workers against mechanical hazards? Safeguards must
meet these minimum general requirements:
Page 13 of 23
Prevent contact: The safeguard must prevent hands, arms, and any other part of a worker's
body from making contact with dangerous moving parts. A good safeguarding system eliminates the
possibility of the operator or another worker placing parts of their bodies near hazardous moving
parts.
Secure: Workers should not be able to easily remove or tamper with the safeguard, because a
safeguard that can easily be made ineffective is no safeguard at all. Guards and safety devices should
be made of durable material that will withstand the conditions of normal use. They must be firmly
secured to the machine.
Protect from falling objects: The safeguard should ensure that no objects can fall into moving
parts. A small tool which is dropped into a cycling machine could easily become a projectile that could
strike and injure someone.
Create no new hazards: A safeguard defeats its own purpose if it creates a hazard of its own
such as a shear point, a jagged edge, or an unfinished surface which can cause a laceration. The
edges of guards, for instance, should be rolled or bolted in such a way that they eliminate sharp
edges.
Create no interference: Any safeguard which impedes a worker from performing the job quickly
and comfortably might soon be overridden or disregarded. Proper safeguarding can actually enhance
efficiency since it can relieve the worker's apprehensions about injury.
Allow safe lubrication: If possible, one should be able to lubricate the machine without
removing the safeguards. Locating oil reservoirs outside the guard, with a line leading to the
lubrication point, will reduce the need for the operator or maintenance worker to enter the hazardous
area.
Nonmechanical Hazards
While this manual concentrate attention on concepts and techniques for safeguarding
mechanical motion, machines obviously present a variety of other hazards which cannot be ignored.
Full discussion of these matters is beyond the scope of this publication, but some nonmechanical
hazards are briefly mentioned below to remind the reader of things other than safeguarding moving
parts that can affect the safe operation of machines.
All power sources for machines are potential sources of danger. When using electrically
powered or controlled machines, for instance, the equipment as well as the electrical system itself
must be properly grounded. Replacing frayed, exposed, or old wiring will also help to protect the
operator and others from electrical shocks or electrocution. High pressure systems, too, need careful
inspection and maintenance to prevent possible failure from pulsation, vibration, or leaks. Such a
failure could cause, among other things, explosions or flying objects.
Machines often produce noise (unwanted sound) which can result in a number of hazards to
workers. Noise can startle and disrupt concentration, and can interfere with communications, thus
hindering the worker's safe job performance. Research has linked noise to a whole range of harmful
health effects, from hearing loss and aural pain to nausea, fatigue, reduced muscle control, and
emotional disturbance. Engineering controls such as the use of sound-dampening materials, and
personal protective equipment, such as ear plugs and muffs, can help control the harmful effects of
noise. Also, administrative controls that involve removing the worker from the noise source can be an
effective measure when feasible.
Because some machines require the use of cutting fluids, coolants, and other potentially
harmful substances, operators, maintenance workers, and others in the vicinity may need protection.
These substances can cause ailments ranging from dermatitis to serious illnesses and disease.
Specially constructed safeguards, ventilation, and protective equipment and clothing are possible
temporary solutions to the problem of machinery-related chemical hazards until these hazards can be
better controlled or eliminated from the workplace.
Page 14 of 23
Training
Even the most elaborate safeguarding system cannot offer effective protection unless the
worker knows how to use it and why. Specific and detailed training is therefore a crucial part of any
effort to provide safeguarding against machine-related hazards. Thorough operator training should
involve instruction or hands-on training in the following:
1. a description and identification of the hazards associated with particular machines;
2. the safeguards themselves, how they provide protection, and the hazards for which they are
intended;
3. how to use the safeguards and why;
4. how and under what circumstances safeguards can be removed, and by whom (in most
cases, repair or maintenance personnel only); and
5. what to do (e.g., contact the supervisor) if a safeguard is damaged, missing, or unable to
provide adequate protection.
This kind of safety training is necessary for new operators and maintenance or setup personnel,
when any new or altered safeguards are put in service, or when workers are assigned to a new
machine or operation.
Every material handling operation is different. Each part of the construction industry
must take care to ensure safety practices are in place at every stage of handling various
material. Every worker and supervisor has a safety role to play in handling and storing
materials. Good housekeeping, proper lifting and loading procedures, and proper
packaging are all important.
16.1.1 Access. Place or store materials so they do not interfere with access ways, doorways,
electrical panels, fire extinguishers, or hoistways. Do not obstruct access ways or exits with
accumulations of scrap or materials. Aisles must be wide enough to accommodate forklifts or
firefighting equipment.
16.1.2 Fire Prevention. When storing, handling, and piling materials, consider the fire
characteristics. Store noncompatible materials that may create a fire hazard at least 25 feet
apart or separate them with a barrier having at least a 1-hour fire rating. Pile material to
minimize internal fire spread and to provide convenient access for firefighting.
16.1.3 Fire Doors. Maintain a 24-inch clearance around the travel path of fire doors.
16.1.4 Sprinklers. Maintain at least an 18-inch clearance between stored materials and
sprinkler heads.
16.1.5 Heating Appliances. Maintain at least a 3-foot clearance between stored materials and
unit heaters, radiant space heaters, duct furnaces, and flues or the clearances shown on the
approval agency label.
16.1.6 Fire Protection. Emergency fire equipment must be readily accessible and in good
working order.
16.1.7 Floor Loading. Conspicuously post load limits in all storage areas, except for floors or
slabs on grade.
16.1.8 Buildings Under Construction. Store materials inside buildings under construction at
least 6 feet away from any hoistway or inside floor openings, and 10 feet away from an
exterior wall that does not extend above the top of the material stored.

zip tie use does not meet electrical codes.
26.3.8Re-locatable power taps, power strips, etc., should be used solely for low power
applications and within the manufacturer guidelines for the device. Higher power items such
as microwaves, coffeepots, heat guns, etc., should be plugged directly into a permanently
installed outlet.
This summarizes current standards for protecting employees from falls from elevated
surfaces of four feet or more such as excavations, pits, unprotected edges, roofs, ramps,
etc., and when working at any height above dangerous equipment (e.g., pickling tanks,
machinery, etc.). Construction standard specifies a trigger height of six feet, while the
general industry standard, specifies a trigger height of four feet. This also addresses
protection of employees from objects falling from elevated work surfaces.
26.5.1Low-Sloped Roofs
26.5.1.1 Temporary and infrequent activities may be conducted no closer than 15’
from an unprotected edge of a roof without traditional fall protection devices
(guardrails, safety net systems, travel restraint systems, personal fall arrest system).
However, employees must be advised that they are to refrain from breeching the 15’
limit and understand that they are prohibited from breeching the limits of the
designated area.
26.5.1.2 Temporary and infrequent activities may be conducted at a distance of at
least 6’ and not more than 15’ from an unprotected edge of a roof without traditional
Page 20 of 23
fall protection devices (guardrails, safety net systems, travel restraint systems,
personal fall arrest systems). However, a designated area must be established (see
definitions).
26.5.1.3 When work is performed at a distance of 6’ or less from an unprotected edge
of a roof, the employee must be protected from falling by a guardrail system, safety
net system, travel restrain system, or personal fall arrest system.
