General Barricade Procedure

General HSE procedure:
 Applies to all HEPC work crews, sub-
contractors and early works on the project.
 Barricades must be installed in all areas
where access by personnel may cause them
to be at risk to potential hazards in the
defined areas.

8
 CCC

General Barricade Procedure Cont.:

General HSE procedure cont.:
 It is constructions responsibility to ensure that
this is communicated to personnel involved in
the erection of barriers (barricades) and also
those who will be working in areas that will be
protected by barricades.
 Training for all personnel involved in barricade
erection and those working inside barricaded
areas.

Critical to Life Activities

 Supplements critical life activities.
 Road transportation – barricades for roadways.
 Lifting & Crane use – barricades for overhead
lifts.
 Working at Height – barricades for overhead
work activities.
 Scaffolding – barricades for overhead work
activities.

10
 CCC

Critical to Life Activities Cont.:

 Electrical safety – barricades for energized work
and commissioning activities.
 Falling objects – barricades for work activities.
that involves risk for falling objects, debris, etc.
 Trenching & Excavations – barricades for
trenching and deep holes .
 Confined Space Entry – barricades that identify
and controls the access to confined spaces.
 Lifting and Rigging – barricades that identify
and controls the access to cranes and rigging 11
 CCC

Purpose of Barricades
 Sometimes provides
protection to people from
physical hazards.
 Provides a method for the
recognition of hazards in the
working area.
 Helps to define the general
foot print or layout of the
working area.
12
 CCC

Purpose of Barricades Cont.:

 Ability to allow control of the working area in
order to limit non-essential personnel from
entering or crossing into work areas.
 Able to offer some physical protection or
barrier from physical hazards ex. (deep
excavation or trench, overhead hazards).
 Project HSE requirements mandate the use of
barricades.

13
 CCC

Two Main Types of Barricades

 Warning Barricade (Flagging) erected to call
attention to specific and general hazards, but
provides no physical protection from the
hazard or unsafe condition.
 Generally, erected at least 1.5 m from the
hazard.

14
 CCC

Two Main Types of Barricades Cont.:

 Protective Barricade are rigid construction
design and form a physical barrier to protect
people from specific hazards such as floor
openings or deep excavations, sometimes
referred to as hard barricades.
 Can be used as a warning barricade for general
hazards when 1.5 m distance buffer is not
available.
 (Road Work Barricade Provisions).
15
 CCC

Warning Barricades
Warning barricades generally consist of:
 Poly rope and tape.
 Rubber or plastic cones 75 cm high with tape.
 Plastic chain.
 Rebar with tape and caps.
 Barricade signs with tape.
 Yellow and black tape for general use.
 Red tape for restricted access.
 Magenta/yellow tape for radiation activities.
 Warning barricades shall be erected to a height of
approximately 1.0 m from the ground or floor.
16
 CCC

Warning Barricades
Yellow and Black Tape:
 Used to represent caution and must be
exercised when entering the area where the
work is being performed.
 Personnel shall exercise caution in determining
the hazards involved prior to entering the
barricaded area, and only enter through gate.
 Examples-excavations <0.5 m and material
storage.

17
 CCC

Warning Barricades Cont.:

Red Tape:
 Used to represent danger and unauthorized entry will
not be allowed.
 Personnel shall not cross a red barricade without
authorization from the supervisor responsible for it’s
erection.
 Careful job planning is needed to help assure
effectiveness.
 Examples-overhead work that offers no protection
below, swing radius of crane counterweights, chemical
exposure areas, first breaks and electrical close
proximity work.
18
 CCC

Warning Barricades Cont.:

 Yellow and Magenta Tape:
 Used when X–ray or other types of radiation
work is being carried out.
 This barricade is absolutely NO ENTRY!

19
 CCC
Protective Barricades
 Protective barricades commonly
referred to as “hard barricades”
 Rigid construction type constructed
to be able to withstand a 200 lbs.
lateral force at a height of
approximately 1.0 m from the ground
or floor.
 Pole and tube-lok scaffold members
connected.
 Minimum 50 X 100 mm timbers
secured with nailing or wood screws. 20
 CCC

Protective Barricades Cont.:

 Pipe railing.
 Structural angle railing.
 Wire rope or steel chain – must be metal.
 Concrete jersey barrier.
 Poly jersey barrier with sand or water filled.
 Barricade tape can be applied only to make more
easily visible, but cannot be used as a method to
offer physical protection.

Protective Barricades
A protective barricade shall be used:
 Around all excavations of depth greater than 1.5 m.
 Where there is a fall potential of greater than 1.5 m.
 Any excavation that is adjacent to roadways or
walkways.
 Around roof openings.
 Around floor openings, i.e. grating removal.
 Whenever a warning barricade cannot be erected at
least 1.5 m from a hazard.
23
 CCC

Protective Barricades (cont.)

A protective barricade shall be used:
 Also in crane operation.
 Crane Barrication must be
installed effectively; neither too
big nor too small, to ensure safe
barrication and to prevent workers
and pedestrians from trespassing
the barricaded area.

24
 CCC

Protective Barricades (cont.)

 The targeted area to be barricaded is

the “Swing Area” of the boom that
includes the whole area between the
initial position of the load along
through the destination position of
the load; in addition to the body of
the crane including the one-meter
beyond the counter-weight to
account for the swing of the counter-
weight.
25
 CCC

Protective Barricades (cont.)

 Extra/ redundant (Huge barrication) area would not

be clear or visible to workers that such barrication
is designated for crane as the lifting operation
would look far from the barrication. As a result,
workers and pedestrian would trespass the
barrication as they are not aware of the far-looking
lifting operation. Extra huge Barrication area may
encourage workers to cross barrication rather than
to go a long way around barrication.
26
 CCC

Protective Barricades (cont.)

 Extra/ redundant (Huge

barrication) area would block
existing access roads nearby the
barricaded area, especially if no
alternative accesses roads are
made. As a result workers are
forced to break in barricaded E S S
C
areas to pass through. AC

27
 CCC

Protective Barricades (cont.)

 Crane Barrication should be

installed efficiently; not too
small, not too huge, and in a
way not to block access roads
nearby the lifting operation
whenever possible

28
 CCC
What is Wrong ?

29
 CCC

Protective Barricades (cont.)

 Body of the crane and

construction items are NOT
to be used to hand Warning
Tapes or to support any
barrication items; instead,
cones or other supporting
items may be used.

 30
 CCC

Road Way Barricades

 If excavation exists beside or along the roadway,
a protective barricade is required.
 Flashing lights shall be attached to barricades
where they are located near a road or walkway
and are to remain in place overnight.
 The lights shall be of the intrinsically safe type in
live plant areas.
 Prior to a barricade being erected that will block
the access for normal traffic flow, a road closure
permit.
31
 CCC

Barricade Tagging
All barricades shall be provided with tag(s), properly
filled out, and placed near the gate or loop access
with the following information.
 Identifying purpose of barricade.
 Name of the owner (who installed it).
 Special conditions or hazards noted.
 Signature of person with job title and contact
details, dated when placed into use.
 Use black ink, suitable to withstand the weather
conditions.
32
 CCC

Barricade Signs
 Warning, Caution and / or Danger signs shall be
placed adjacent to barricades, prefer near the
access gate.
 Barricade sign message shall be large enough to
visibly see from a distance of several meters
away and be consistent with project
expectations.
 Can be in multiple languages, however must
remain consistent with all other barricades.
33
 CCC

Barricade Signs Cont.:

 Generally, Danger signs warn of a serious
immediate hazard such as a blasting operation or
an exposed electrical fuse / buss.
 Caution and Warning signs recognize the general
hazard associated with the work activity.
 Barricade signs shall be maintained on a daily
basis by the responsible Dept. in the area.

34
 CCC

General Barricade Requirements

1. Erect barricades 1.0 m from the ground or floor
level.
2. Use the appropriate barricade protection for the
type of hazard.
3. Use the appropriate barricade signs to recognize the
hazard(s).
4. Barricades shall be sized large enough to
accommodate the activity inside the working area
ex. Long lengths of pipe or crane lifts.
5. Provide a access / egress gate for entry and exit,
can be loop or hook affixed to tape as a gate. 35
 CCC

General Barricade Requirements Cont.:

6. Shall keep barricades taut and level at all times.
7. Large barricades can have more than one gate or loop
access point.
8. Anytime a barricade can block emergency equipment, fire
extinguisher's, exit routes then alternative provisions shall
be taken to safely allow the use or reposition the
equipment ex. door monitor, additional equipment
provided.
9. Barricades on roof areas or elevated structures shall be
secured or weighted to prevent from being blown over by
the wind.
10. For overhead work, recommendation to extend barricade
1.0 m out for every 2.0 m up in height. 36
 CCC

Safe Use of Barricades

1. Always address the work activity barricade
requirements during daily JSTI / TBT, know
which barricade is needed before starting work.
2. No one shall climb over or duck under
barricades, always use the gate entry and exit
point.
3. Do not tie barricade tape to valve handles,
electrical switches / disconnects & conduit,
instrument tubing or power equipment or heavy
equipment ex. Excavator. 37
 CCC

Safe Use of Barricades Cont.:

4. If barricade blocks emergency equipment,
provisions must be made to ensure safe access at
all times, use of a monitor posted at passageway
or relocation of EMS equipment outside barricade.
5. Use the correct tape color for the barricade
needed.
6. Barricades shall be maintained daily by the
responsible contractor working in the area.
7. Maintaining proper barricade etiquette is
mandatory.
38
 CCC

Responsibility
 All personnel who work inside the barricade are
responsible to see that the barricade is
maintained in good order and that
housekeeping is maintained and the work group
finishing last shall make area safe and remove
barricading.
 It is constructions responsibility to ensure that
this is communicated to personnel involved in
the erection of barriers (barricades) and also
those who will be working in areas that will be
protected by barricades.
39
 CCC

Responsibility Cont.:
 When two or more work groups are operating
within the same barricade, each work group
should review the tag and ensure that all
hazards have been identified on the tag and are
appropriate.
