are going to construct, maintain, clean, repair, dismantle or demolish the structures and

anyone else like adjoining road users/general public, who may be affected by the work.

4.3.1.5.7. When considering health and safety in designer’s work, they shall be expected to do what

is reasonable at the time the design is prepared. It may be possible for hazards, which

cannot be addressed at the feasibility stage to be looked at during detailed design. In

deciding what is reasonably practicable, the risk to health and safety produced by a

feature of the design has to be weighed against the cost of excluding the feature. The

overall design process does not need to be dominated by a concern to avoid all risks

during the construction phase and maintenance. However, a judgement has to be made

by weighing up one consideration against another, so the cost is counted not just in

financial terms, but also those of fitness for purpose, aesthetics, buildability or

environmental impact. By applying these principles, it may be possible to make decisions

at the design stage, which will avoid or reduce risks during construction work. In many

cases, the large number of design considerations will allow a number of equally valid

design solutions. What is important is the approach to the solutions of design problems.

This should involve a proper exercise of judgement, which takes account of health and

safety issues.

4.3.1.5.8. Designers shall need, so far as reasonably practicable, to avoid or reduce risks by

applying a series of steps known as the hierarchy of risk control or principles of prevention

and protection. The steps to be adopted shall include the following:

i.Consider if the hazard can be prevented from arising so that the risk can be avoided

(e.g. alter the design to avoid the risk);

ii. If this cannot be achieved, the risk should be combated at source (eg, ensure the

design details of items to be lifted include attachment points for lifting);

iii.Failing this, priority should be given to measures to control the risk that will collectively

protect all people;

iv.Only as a last resort should measures to control risk by means of personal protection

be assumed (E.g. use of safety harnesses).

4.3.1.5.9. In case of situations were the designers have carried out the design work and concluded

that there are risks, which were not reasonably practicable to avoid, detailed information

shall be given about the health and safety risks, which remain. This information needs to

be included within the design assessment to alert others to the risks, which they cannot

reasonably be expected to know. This is essential for the parties who have to use the

design information.

4.3.1.5.10. If the designers’ basic design assumptions affect health or safety, or health and safety

risks are not obvious from the standard design document, the designer shall provide

additional information. The information shall include a broad indication of the

assumptions about the precautions for dealing with the risks. The information will need

to be conveyed in a clear manner; it shall be included on drawings, in written


Works Requirements



specifications or outline method statements. The level of detail to be recorded will be

determined by the nature of the hazards involved and the associated level of risk.

4.3.1.5.11. Job Specific Risk assessment shall be submitted to the Employer /Engineer a minimum

of 28 days prior to task commencement for notice of no objection. (Example-Manual

Handling, PPE and Fire)

4.8. Penalty

4.8.1 CMRL has built an image of safety conscious organisation meticulously over a period

of nine years. Any reportable accident (fatality / injury) results in loss of life and/or

property damage. These accidents not only result in loss of life but also damage the

reputation of CMRL. Most of the accidents are avoidable and caused preliminary due

to contractors’ negligence. Hence CMRL shall recover the cost of damages from the

contractors for every reportable incident (fatality / injury).

4.8.2 In addition, every CMRL work site is exposed to public scrutiny as the work is executed

just on the right-of-way. Any unsafe act / unsafe condition observed by public further

damages our reputation. Because of the non-voluntary compliance of contractors to the

Employer’s ESHS requirements or Employer’s direct instructions and project H&S

manual, CMRL has been forced to establish safety-enforcing organisation. The cost of

established such organisation is to be recovered from contractors for all observed safety

violations at sites.

4.8.3 The following table-6 indicates the Health, Safety and Environment violation (unsafe act

/ unsafe condition) and charges to be recovered from contractors.

10. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

10.1 General

10.1.1 Investigations should be conducted in an open and positive atmosphere that

encourages the witnesses to talk freely. The primary objective is to ascertain the facts

with a view to prevent future and possibly more serious occurrences. Accidents are

rarely just the fault of the worker. If the worker has not been trained, instructed or

properly supervised then the fault may well lie with management.

10.1.2 Accidents and Dangerous Occurrences which result in death, serious injury or serious

damage must be investigated by the Contractor immediately to find out the cause of

the accident/occurrence so that measures can be formulated to prevent any

recurrence. (Refer to the advice contained in 10.2.1 below.)

10.1.3 Near misses and minor accidents should also be recorded and investigated by the

Contractor as soon as possible as they are signals that there are inadequacies in the

Health and Safety management system.

10.2 Recommended actions in incident investigation

c) Interview the injured, eyewitnesses and other involved parties

d) Consult expert opinion where necessary

e) Identify the specific Contractor or Sub-contractor involved.

10.2.2 Having gathered information, it is then necessary to make an Analysis of Incident

(a) Establish the chain of events leading to the accident or incident

(b) Find out at what stage the accident took place

(c) Consider all possible causes and the interaction of different factors that led up to

the accident, and identify the most probable cause

Note: The cause of an accident should never be classified as carelessness. The

specific act or omission that caused the accident must be identified.


Section VII



10.2.3 The next stage is to proceed with the Follow-up Action

(a) Report on the findings and conclusions

(b) Formulate preventive measures to avoid recurrence

(c) Publicise the findings and the remedial actions taken

The number of man-days lost refers to the total number of man-days lost during the

reported month due to:

(a) Non-fatal reportable accidents which happened within the reported month

(b) Non-fatal reportable accidents which occurred in previous months.

The day on which the reportable accident occurred should be excluded in calculating

man- days lost but public holidays within the injured period should be counted.

11.4 Calculation of Accident Frequency Rate (AFR)

The Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) per 100,0000 man-hours worked shall be

calculated using the following formula

x 100, 0000

12. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT

12.1 General

12.1.1 The purpose of Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment is to identify all the

15.1 Introduction

15.1.1 Hazards to Health on a construction site can arise from the use of a number of

materials, substances, and processes if they are not properly controlled. Some of the

more serious risks are caused by the inhalation of dusts, fibres, toxic fumes, by the

misuse of chemicals, lasers, and radioactive isotopes. Excessive vibration and

excessive noise can also cause ill health. Many man-days are lost as a result of

dermatitis, tenosynovitis, bronchitis, and rheumatism.

15.1.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining healthy working conditions for all

his\her, and his\her sub-contractors, workers. In particular he shall pay attention to the

effects of noise, dust, air pollution and the use of chemicals. If it is not possible to

remove the cause of harm, then suitable and sufficient Personal Protective Equipment

(PPE) should be provided to those workers who could be affected.

15.1.3 If the use of PPE is the only means of providing protection the Contractor shall ensure

that all the workers affected are properly trained in the use of the PPE and that

adequate supervision is provided to ensure its proper use.

Section VII



(b) Materials falling onto people working in the excavation;

(c) People and vehicles falling into the excavation;

(d) People being struck by plant;

(e) Undermining nearby structures;

(f) Contact with underground services.

(g) Fumes; and

(h) Make sure the necessary equipment needed such as trench sheets, props, etc.,

are available on site before work starts.

17.3 General Precautions

17.3.1 The following precautions should be observed;

(a) Prevent the sides and the ends from collapsing by battering them to a safe angle

or supporting them with timber, sheeting or proprietary support systems.

(b) Do not go into unsupported excavations.

(c) Never work ahead of the support.

(d) Remember that even work in shallow trenches can be dangerous. You may need

to provide support if the work involves bending or kneeling in the trench.

(e) Prevention of materials falling into excavations

(f) Do not store spoil or other materials within one metre of the sides of excavations.

The spoil may fall into the excavation and the extra loading will make the sides

more prone to collapse.

(g) Make sure the edges of the excavation are protected against falling materials.

Provide toe boards where necessary.

(h) Wear a hard hat when working in excavations.

(i) Take steps to prevent people falling into excavations. If the excavation is 2 m or

more deep, provide substantial barriers, e.g. guard rails and toe boards.

(j) Keep vehicles away from excavations wherever possible. Use brightly painted

baulks or barriers where necessary.

(k) Where vehicles have to tip materials into excavations, use stop blocks to prevent

them from over-running. Remember that the sides of the excavation may need

extra support.

17.4 Undermining nearby structures

17.4.1 The following precautions should be taken to prevent the undermining of nearby structures;

(a) Make sure excavations do not affect the footings of scaffolds or the foundations

of nearby structures. Walls may have very shallow foundations, which can be

undermined by even small trenches.

(b) Decide if the structure needs temporary support before digging starts. Surveys

of the foundations and the advice of a structural engineer may be needed.

17.5 Avoiding underground services

17.5.1 The following precautions should be taken to avoid underground services;

(a) Look around for obvious signs of underground services, e.g. valve covers or

patching of the road surface.

(b) Use locators to trace any services by utility detector kit. Mark the ground accordingly.

(c) Make sure that the person supervising excavation work has service plans and


Section VII



knows how to use them. Everyone carrying out the work should know about safe

digging practices and emergency procedures.

(d) Operate a “Permit to Dig” system.

(e) Safety practices in sewage and septage management issued by the Chennai

metropolitan water supply and sewerage board guidelines shall be followed.

18.1.40 The special assessment as per IS 14475-1(1997) and ISO 12482-1:1995 shall be

carried out later than the following number of years after manufacture for:

-Tower cranes, loader cranes, mobile cranes: 10 years;

-All other cranes: 20 years.

18.1.41 Lifts involving two or more cranes are complex operations requiring considerable skill

and planning. As a result, multiple crane lifts (or tandem lifts) must be planned and

carried out under the supervision of a competent person.

18.1.42 The exact weight each crane will carry must be determined in advance since all

cranes must operate in unison. Operator headset communications systems should be

implemented. For these more complicated lifts, no more than 75 percent of the net

capacity of any crane should be used. Because the load weight shifts from one crane

to the other during movement of the booms, these changes need to be considered

during the planning process. Pre-planned load considerations can also be disrupted if

one crane lifts its end of the load before the other crane lifts, causing the first crane to

be overloaded. A practice run without the load is recommended to help coordinate the

process.

18.1.43 Compliance with the crane manufacturer's recommended wind-velocity shutdown

limit is required for safe operations, though many operators halt work if the wind speed

reaches a generic 30 mph.

22.1.1 The Contractor shall ensure that all compressed gases, such as oxygen and fuel

gases, are stored in a safe manner in keeping with the following requirements.

22.1.2 When not in use compressed gas cylinders should preferably be stored in the open air


Section VII



in a well ventilated area at ground level on a firm level surface at least 3m away from

any cellars, drains, excavations or other hollows where vapour may collect. There

should be good access to the area, which should be kept clean and clear of

combustible material, including wood, packing materials and vegetation. If any

protection is provided to prevent cylinders being exposed to the weather, it should be

of non-combustible material and should not inhibit ventilation. The area should not be

close to any source of heat.

22.1.3 Oxygen cylinders and flammable gas cylinders shall be stored separately, at least 6.6

meters (20 feet) apart or separated by a fire proof, 1.6 meters (5 feet) high partition.

Flammable substances shall not be stored within 50 feet of cylinder storage areas.

22.1.4 It is important that the valves of so-called `empty' cylinders are kept closed as well as

those of full cylinders and that plugs, shrouds and caps are kept in place on all

cylinders. This is necessary not only to prevent the escape of any residual compressed

gas into the atmosphere but also to ensure that air is not sucked into the cylinder to

form an explosive mixture inside it. All cylinders should be stored with their valves

uppermost.

22.1.5 The storage area should be enclosed by a fence approximately 2 metres in height. The

fence should be made of non-combustible material and should not inhibit natural

ventilation, particularly at low level - a wire mesh fence is particularly suitable for this

purpose. The fence should have at least two means of exit, which should not be

adjacent to each other. The gates should open outwards and not be self-locking. Both

exits should be unlocked when persons are within the storage compound. At all times

when the site is unattended the storage area should be secured.

22.1.6 On sites where only small quantities of compressed gas are stored (i.e. less than 300

kg). Only one exit will be necessary providing there is no risk of a person being trapped

in the enclosure. The cage should be clearly marked "Highly Flammable and notices

prohibiting smoking and naked lights should be displayed.

22.1.7 portable first aid and 6kg fire extinguishers shall be positioned in close proximity to the

storage area for use in an emergency. Fire Extinguisher should confirm to IS 2190:

1992.

22.1.8 Industrial Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas cylinders

shall not permit to use in CMRL project sites.

22.2 Handling Compressed Gas cylinders

22.2.1 Cylinders should be handled with care and wherever practicable moved on specially

designed trolleys. The valve on a cylinder should not be used for lifting or to lever the

cylinder into position. Damage to the valve can result in highly dangerous situations

following the escape of gas. For the same reason throwing or dropping cylinders should

be prohibited as in such circumstances damage to the valve is even more likely.

22.2.2 Before connecting any cylinder or container of compressed gas to equipment it is

essential that all fires, flames or other sources of ignition in the vicinity, including

cigarettes and pilot lights, are extinguished. Where practicable cylinders should be

changed in the open air. The cylinder should be examined and any damaged or faulty

cylinder should NOT be used. No attempt should be made to rectify any fault or

damage. The cylinder should be put in a safe place away from other cylinders or

combustible materials until returned to the supplier.

22.2.3 If a cylinder is found to be leaking and the leak cannot be stopped, the cylinder should


Section VII



be carefully removed to a well-ventilated open space free from sources of ignition. It

should be left with the leak, usually at the valve, uppermost, marked faulty and notices

displayed prohibiting smoking or other naked lights. General access should be

prevented by barriers or otherwise. The supplier of the cylinder should be informed

immediately. Under no circumstances should users attempt to dismantle or repair

defective cylinders.

22.3 Regulators

22.3.1 Regulators should be suitable for the gas and pressure in use. Checks for leaks at the

regulator nuts should be made only by using soapy water. In the event of a defect or

of any damage to a regulator, no attempt should be made to repair it. Such repairs

should only be carried out by specialists.

22.4 Hoses

22.4.1 Flexible tubing should only be used for final connections to appliances. Flexible hoses

should comply with BS 3212, BS 5120 or other nationally recognised standard. They

should be additionally protected or of steel braid reinforced construction wherever they

might be subject to damage by abrasion and so sited that they are not exposed to

excessive heat. The length of hoses should be kept as short as practicable

22.5 Training and Instruction

22.5.1 Many accidents involving compressed gas are due to ignorance of simple basic

precautions. It is essential that all persons using compressed gas are suitably

instructed about the hazards and the precautions to be taken in its use.

23. MACHINERY

MARS AUDIT SCORE SHEET FOR THE MONTH OF ..... 2020

Date of Audit: Contrator: Project Name:

Project Manager: Chief Safety Manager :

Site Conditions:

Points will be objectively awarded by the Group 6 personnel based upon site safety and environment

conditions. Scoring will be as follows: Excellent (E) = 10, Good (G) = 8, Average (A) = 6, Fail (F) = 0,

Non-Conformance (NC) = -10 with the exception of those sections marked with an asterisk which will

have a factor of 2 thus doubling the score for that section.

All non-compliance within the heavy bordered areas will receive an Action Notice at the required level.

All Suspended Operations Notices will be referred to the Project Manager, who will visit site within 24

hours to carry out further safety inspections.

Any non applicable topic and the corresponding “possible score” will not be marked, and the score will

be calculated by recognising the relevant possible score as being 100% and the actual score as a

percentage of this.

H&S Audit Measurement Criteria


Section VII



Points will be objectively awarded by Contractor based upon site safety conditions

Scoring will be as follows:

Excellent (E) = 10,

Good (G) = 8,

Average (A) = 6,

Fail (F) = 0,

Non-Conformance (NC) = -10

Non-Conformance (NC) = -10 with the exception of those sections marked with an asterisk

which will have a factor of 2 thus doubling the score for that section.

All non-conformances within the heavy bordered areas will receive an Action Notice at the

required level. All Suspended Operations Notices will be referred to the Project Manager, who

will visit site within 24 hours to carry out further safety inspections.

Any non-applicable topic and the corresponding “possible score” will not be marked and the

score will be calculated by recognising the relevant possible score as being 100% and the

actual score as a percentage of this

Section VII



1. Introduction

Significant success has been made in India in developing and enforcing

environmental regulations in many areas. However, there still remain a number of

areas that have not yet seen the promulgation of Environmental Standards and

Regulations. Many of these areas have a high potential for adverse environmental

impact if allowed to go unregulated. As the CMRL undertakes to build this Metro

system it shall institute and enforce adequate environmental standards to provide

for the protection of the people and the environment.

In response, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable Indian laws and

regulations to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts from the construction

activities. Based on the Employer’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report

the Contractor shall conduct an analysis of the environmental Impacts and

implement suitable measures to mitigate the adverse impacts so as to comply with

all the Environmental Standards & Regulations. All appropriate categories/areas,

such as air quality, noise, water quality, vibration etc. are to be considered in the

environmental analysis. The Contractor will have to undertake Environmental

Monitoring and Audit during construction to measure the environmental impacts.

Should the impact measurements exceed the respective limits set forth in EIA

Report, the Contractor shall be required to review and implement effective

measures so as to ensure that the impact of the construction works will not exceed

the respective limits set forth in the EIA report.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the total compliance of the Environmental

Protection safeguards as elaborated in this Environmental Management

Arrangements.

1.1 The ‘Environmental Management Arrangements’ (EMA) document forms an

essential part of the overall Environmental Protection System employed by CMRL

for the construction of the Chennai Metro Rail Project – Phase 2.

1.2 The EMA has been prepared to facilitate construction progress while ensuring

fulfilment of environmental commitments. It provides systematic procedures for

monitoring and minimizing environmental impacts that may arise from the

construction activities.

1.3 The EMA will apply to all construction works of the Chennai Metro Rail Project

carried out by the Contractors and Sub-contractors.

1.4 The primary reason for adopting the EMA approach is to make the Contractor

aware of his environmental responsibilities and to ensure his\her commitment to

achieving the specified standards.

1.5 The CMRL EMA is meant to be a living document that will be updated as design

and construction progresses and when further environmental issues are identified.

1.6 Periodic reviews of the plan and procedures will be performed to ensure continual

improvement of the Plan’s adequacy and it will be expanded and updated during

the project duration.

1.7 Because the work potentially involves build contracts, this EMA is intended to be

flexible and tailored to match highly variable construction activities and locations

throughout the project.

and other concrete works should be collected in a separate slurry collection

system. If reuse is not practicable then it should be disposed off at nearest

landfill site after obtaining permission from the agency owning the landfill and

under the conditions imposed by the agency concerned.

(k) The bentonite mixing, treatment and handling system shall be established by

the Contractor giving due regard to its environmental impacts. The disposal of

redundant bentonite shall be carefully considered whether in bulk or liquid form.

The disposal location will be advised and agreed with the relevant authorities.

(l) Due to lowering of potable water supplies in Chennai and subsequent

contamination of ground water, the Contractor is not allowed to discharge water

from the site without the notice of no objection of the Employer’s

Representative. The Contractor must comply with the requirements of the

Central Ground Water Board for discharge of water arising from dewatering.

Any water obtained from dewatering systems installed in the works must be

either re-used for construction purposes and this water may subsequently be

discharged to the drainage system or, if not re-used, recharged to the ground

water at suitable aquifer levels. The Contractor must submit his proposals for

notice of no objection of Employer’s Representative, on his\her proposed

locations of dewatering of excavation and collection of water for either

construction re-use or recharge directly to aquifers. The Contractor’s recharge

proposals must be sufficient for recharging of the quantity of water remaining

after deduction of water re-used for construction. The Contractor will not be

permitted to directly discharge, to the drainage system, unused ground water


Section VII



obtaining from the excavation without obtaining notice of no objection from the

Agency controlling the system.

(m) The Contractor shall prevent soil particles and debris from entering the wells or

water discharge points by use of filters and sedimentation basins as required.

(n) The Contractor shall provide treatment facilities as necessary to prevent the

discharge of contaminated ground water.

basis.

(r) A Spill Prevention and Control Procedure shall be prepared to identify project

components such as storage areas, storage tanks that could allow discharge

of oil grease or hazardous materials to the drainage system or ultimately in any

water body during spillage. The volume of spill should be calculated as well as

storage volume to contain spill within the materials storage containment areas.

The procedure shall include measures to contain and mitigate transportation of

oil, grease or hazardous materials to the drainage system or any water body.

(s) The Contractor shall ensure that earth, bentonite, chemicals and concrete

agitator washings etc. are not deposited/drained in the watercourses but are

suitably treated and effluents and residue disposed off in a manner approved

by local Regulatory Authorities.

(t) Perimeter channels/drains should be constructed in advance of site formation

works and earthworks. Silt removal facilities, channels and manholes should

be maintained and the deposited silt and grit should be removed regularly, to

ensure that these facilities are functioning properly at all times.

(u) Construction works should be programmed to minimize soil excavation works

in rainy season. If excavation in soil could not be avoided in these months or at

any time of year when rains are likely, for the purpose of preventing soil erosion,

temporarily exposed slope surfaces should be covered e.g. by tarpaulin, and

temporary access roads should be protected by crushed stone or gravel, as

excavation proceeds. Arrangement should always be in place to ensure that

adequate surface protection measures can be safely carried out well before the

arrival of rains.

(v) Measures should be taken to minimize the ingress of rainwater into trenches.

If excavation of trenches in wet seasons is necessary, they should be dug and

backfilled in short sections. Rainwater pumped out from trenches or foundation


Section VII



excavation should be discharged into storm drains via silt removal facilities.

(w) Open stockpiles of construction materials (e.g. aggregates, sand and fill

material) on sites should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during

rainstorms. Measures should be taken to prevent the washing away of

construction materials, soil, silt or debris into any drainage system.

(x) Manholes (including newly constructed ones) should always be adequately

covered and temporarily sealed so as to prevent silt, construction materials or

debris from getting into the drainage system, and to prevent storm run-off from

getting into sewers. Discharge of surface run-off into sewers must always be

prevented in order not to unduly overload the sewerage system.

(y) Groundwater pumped out of wells, etc. for the lowering of ground water level in

basement of foundation shall be discharged into storm water drains after the

removal of silt in silt removal facilities.

(z) Wastewater from Concrete Batching & Precast Concrete Casting and that

generated from the washing down of mixer trucks and drum mixers and similar

equipment should wherever practicable be recycled. The discharge of

wastewater should be kept to a minimum.

(aa) The section of construction road between the vehicle washing bay and the

public road should be paved to reduce vehicle tracking of soil and to prevent

site run-off from entering public road drains.

(bb) Surface run-off should be segregated from the concrete batching plant and

casting yard area as much as possible and diverted to the storm water drainage

system. Surface run-off contaminated by materials in a concrete batching plant

or casting yard must be treated to, within the discharge norms before disposal

into storm water drains.

(cc) The effluent monitoring is carried out pursuant to and using an equipment that

complies with the relevant standards of the Central Pollution Control Board.

(dd) The contractor shall apply to the appropriate authority for installing bore wells

for water supply at site.

10.3 Containment of Noise and Vibration

(a) Construction of facilities and structures would require the use of equipment,

which may generate high noise levels and adversely affect noise sensitive

receivers.

(b) In assessing the impact of construction noise and hence its containment, the

nature and level of activities that generate noise, the pathway through which

noise travels, the sensitivity of the receptor, and the period of exposure should

be considered.

(c) Environmental noise is measured in decibels (dB). To better approximate the

range of sensitivity of the human ear to sounds of different frequencies, the A-

weighted decibel scale (dBA) was devised. As the human ear is less sensitive

to low frequency sounds, the A-scale de-emphasizes these frequencies by

incorporating frequency weighting of the sound signal. When the A-scale is

used, the decibel levels are represented by dBA.

(d) On this scale, the range of human hearing extends from about 3 dBA to about


Section VII



140 dBA. A 10-dBA increase is judged by most people as a doubling of the

sound level.

(e) To the extent required to meet the noise limits the Contractor shall use

reasonable efforts to include noise reduction measures listed below to minimize

construction noise emission levels. Noise reduction measures – include, but

not limited to the following:

(i) Minimize the use of impact devices, such as jackhammers, and pavement

breakers. Where possible, use concrete crushers or pavement saws for

tasks such as concrete deck removal and retaining wall demolition.

(ii) Equip noise producing equipment such as jackhammers and pavement

breakers with acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds recommended by

the manufacturers thereof, to meet relevant noise limitations.

(iii) Pneumatic impact tools and equipment used at the construction site shall

have intake and exhaust mufflers recommended by the manufacturers

thereof, to meet relevant noise limitations.

(iv) Provide mufflers or shield panelling for other equipment, including internal

combustion engines, recommended by manufacturers thereof.

(v) Employ prefabricated structures instead of assembling on-site.

(vi) Use construction equipment manufactured or modified to dampen noise

and vibration emissions, such as:

Use electric instead of diesel-powered equipment.

Use hydraulic tools instead of pneumatic impact tools.

(f) Maximize physical separation, as far as practicable, between noise generators

and noise receptors. Separation includes following measures:

Provide enclosures for stationary items of equipment and barriers around

particularly noisy areas on site.

Locating stationary equipment in such a way, so as to minimize noise and

vibration impact on community.

(g) To the extent feasible, configure the construction site in a manner that keeps

noisier equipment and activities as far as possible away from noise sensitive

locations and nearby buildings. Plant and equipment known to emit noise

strongly in one direction should where possible, be oriented in a direction away

from noise sensitive receptor and reduce the number of plant and equipment

operating in critical areas close to noise sensitive receptors.

(h) Scheduling truck loading, unloading, and hauling operations in such a way so

as to minimize noise impact near noise sensitive locations and surrounding

communities.

(i) Minimize noise intrusive impacts during most noise sensitive hours by adopting

the following.

Plan noisier operations during times of highest ambient noise levels.

Keep noise levels relatively uniform; avoid excessive and impulse noises.

(j) Equipment and plant are not to be kept idling when not in use.

(k) Use only well-maintained plant/equipment at site, which should be serviced


Section VII



regularly.

(l) Maintain equipment such that parts of vehicles and loads are secure against

vibrations and rattling.

(m) Grading of surfaced irregularities on construction sites to prevent the

generation of impact noise and ground vibrations by passing vehicles.

(n) Schedule work to avoid simultaneous activities that generate high noise levels.

(o) The construction of temporary noise barriers.

(p) If back-up alarms are used on construction equipment, their noise emission

level near noise sensitive receptors such as residences, schools, hospitals and

similar areas where calmness is essential, should be regulated, especially at

nighttime.

(q) Select truck routes for muck disposal so that noise from heavy-duty trucks will

have minimal impact on sensitive areas (e.g., residential) and submit to the

Employer’s Representative for notice of no objection:

Conduct truck loading, unloading and hauling operations in a manner such

that noise and vibration are kept to a minimum.

Route construction equipment and vehicles carrying soil, concrete or other

materials over streets and routes that will cause least disturbance to residents

in vicinity of work.

Avoid operating truck on streets that pass by schools during school hours.

(r) The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new generator sets (up to

1000 KVA) run on diesel, shall be 75 dB(A) at one metre from the enclosure

surface.

(s) For existing diesel generator sets, the noise from the DG set shall be controlled

by providing an acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the room for DG

sets. Such acoustic enclosures/acoustically treated rooms shall be so designed

for minimum 25 dB(A) insertion loss or for meeting the ambient noise

standards, whichever is on higher side.

(t) Cast in situ piling to avoid excessive vibrations.

(u) Contractor will conduct a full detailed analysis of noise and vibration prediction

and submit to CMRL for approval. The analysis will be reviewed by lenders

before mobilization.

10.4 Containment of Waste

(a) The Contractor is required to develop, institute and maintain a Waste

Management Plan (WMP) during the construction of the project for his\her

works, which may include:

i. Identification of disposal sites

ii. Identification of quantities to be excavated and disposed off

iii. Identification of split between waste and inert material

iv. Identification of amounts intended to be stored temporarily on site

location of such storage.

v. Identification of intended transport means and route.

vi. Obtaining permission, where required, for disposal.


Section VII



Such mechanism is intended to ensure that the designated area for the segregation and temporary storage of reusable and recyclable materials are incorporated in the WMP. The WMP should be prepared and submitted to Employer/Employer Representative for NONO.

(b) The Contractor shall handle waste in a manner that ensures they are held

securely without loss or leakage thus minimizing potential for pollution. The

Contractor shall maintain and clean waste storage areas regularly.

(c) Careful design, planning and good site management can minimise waste of

materials such as concrete, mortars and cement grouts. The Contractor shall

ensure regular maintenance and cleaning of the waste storage areas.

(d) Construction activities are expected to generate a variety of waste such as:

i. General refuse

ii. Construction Waste including waste from excavated material

iii. Chemical waste and

iv. Hazardous waste

v. Biomedical waste

(e) Handling and disposal of such waste may cause environmental degradation

and nuisance. To prevent it, such waste has to be handled and disposed

properly. As such, transportation and disposal of all waste shall be strictly

managed.

(f) The contractor shall make arrangements to dispose of metal scrap and other

waste to authorised vendors and make available to Employer/Employer

Representative on request and records.

(g) General Refuse

(i) Each worksite would generate general refuse including paper and food

waste. There is likely to be a concentration of such waste at batching plants

on major worksite. The storage of general refuse has the potential to give

rise to negative environmental impacts.

(ii) Burning of wastes is prohibited. The Contractor shall not burn debris or

vegetation or construction waste on the site.

(iii) Handling and disposal of general refuse should cope with the peak

construction workforce during the construction period. The refuse should

be stored and transported in accordance with good practice and disposed

at licensed landfills

(iv) General refuse should be stored in enclosed bins or units and has to be

separated from construction and chemical wastes. An authorised waste

collector should be employed by the Contractor to remove general refuse

from the site, on a daily basis to minimise odour, pest and litter impacts.

(h) Construction Waste

(i) Construction Waste would mainly arise from the project construction

activities and from the demolition of existing structures where necessitated.

It includes unwanted materials generated during construction, rejected

structures and materials, materials that have been over-ordered and

materials, which have been used and discarded such as:


Section VII



Material and equipment wrapping packaging material

Unusable/surplus concrete/grouting mixes

Damaged/contaminated/surplus construction materials; and

Wood from formwork and false work.

(ii) Also, demolition of buildings and houses to accommodate station buildings

and construction depots will generate concrete rubble, plastics, metal,

glass, asphalt from surfaces, wood and refuse.

(iii) Waste from excavation would comprise soil, rubble, sand, rock, brick etc.

(iv) It is estimated that construction activities used generate 2.5mm3 of soil,

majority of which will be used for filling purpose.

(i) Chemical Waste

public roads, parking provision during construction, use of residential streets and

traffic diversion due to temporary road closures, and construction and use of

temporary access roads;

15.6 Strengthening impact and risk prevention measures, such as establishing

construction site works to minimize the entrance and exit of vehicles at stations

during peak traffic;

15.7 The logistics should be considered to manage transport materials from storage

areas outside of the dense urban core to worksites and to return excavated soil

and other materials to disposal locations. If needed, construction traffic may be

confined to certain routes (based on infrastructure capacity) or restricted to certain

off -peak hours (that is, to reduce noise pollution at night or to avoid commuting

and school hours during the day);

15.8 Any diversions of traffic will cause considerable confusion for pedestrians and

drivers as they rearrange their itineraries, hence, to minimize the effects of the

diversion or reorganization, it is necessary to conduct communication campaigns

and disseminate appropriate information to urban residents and taxi and bus

drivers in advance of disruptions. Efforts will be given to divert traffic to roads wide

enough to accommodate extra traffic. Compliance with scheduled deadlines for the

detour is essential. If necessary, bus service and other public and private transport

services in the area should be improved to meet residents’ transportation needs.

15.9 Incorporation of community safety considerations into plan design, especially at

such locations where buildings are close to the construction site;

of

During Civil Construction During Civil Construction

If any unanticipated EHS impacts arise during construction, implementation or operation of the

Project that were not considered in the Environmental Impact Assessment / EMP, Contractor

and GC to promptly inform CMRL of the occurrence of such risks or impacts, with detailed

description of the event and proposed corrective action plan. CMRL will report to all lenders

accordingly The above indicated Contractor’s Environmental Monitoring Programme is

mandatory and any additional monitoring, with respect to additional environmental attributes

(like surface water & ground water, soil etc.), additional locations, frequency, parameters etc.,

as directed by the Employer’s representative, will have to be undertaken by the Contractor.

18. Air Monitoring18.1 Construction activities that will generate dust impacts include excavation, material

handling and stockpiling, vehicular movement, and wind erosion of unpaved work

areas.

18.2 The impact of fugitive dust on ambient air pollution depends on the quantity

generated, as well as the drift potential of the dust particles injected into the

atmosphere. Large dust particles will settle out near the source and smaller

particles are likely to undergo dispersal over greater distance from the sources and

impeded setting. PM10 and PM2.5 levels will be monitored to evaluate the dust

impact during the construction phase of the Project.

18.3 The Air Quality Monitoring and Control Plan (AMCP) in contract-specific Site

Environmental Plan prepared by the Contractor shall establish procedures to

monitor impact air quality and measures to control air pollution including dust

suppression due to construction activities at work sites. This plan shall contain

description of activities that will cause degradation in air quality, environmental


Section VII



procedures to manage pollutants, monitoring programme record keeping and

reporting.

18.4 The Employer’s Representative shall monitor Contractor’s performance of tasks

specified and will inspect necessary records, reports and procedures related to the

control of air quality given in AMCP.

18.5 Information gathered during the AMCP will be catalogued and maintained by the

Contractor and shall be available for review by the Employer’s Representative.

18.6 The exact location of the air monitoring stations located near air sensitive receptors

adjoining the construction sites, such as residences, schools, and hospitals and

placement of monitoring equipment shall be agreed with the Employer’s

Representative prior to commencement of air monitoring programme.

18.7 Impact monitoring during the course of the Works shall be carried out at the

monitoring stations for two days (continuous twenty-four hours) every fifteen days

and where there is a perceived air quality problem.

18.8 The Contractor should construct suitable fence, lockable gate, 220V AC power

point and suitable access at each air monitoring station. Monitoring stations should

be free from local obstructions or sheltering.

18.9 Should impact monitoring record dust levels which are:

Indicative of a deteriorating situation such that closer monitoring is reasonably

indicated, or

When in the opinion of the Employer’s Representative additional

measurements are required in view of deteriorating air quality.

Then, the Employer’s Representative may require the Contractor to increase the

frequency of impact monitoring at any one or more of the monitoring stations until

the results indicate an improving and acceptable level of air quality.

18.10 The Contractor shall keep records of air quality monitoring (including location, date,

time). The Contractor shall submit a copy of monitoring results to the Employer’s

Representative. The results should represent a statistical evaluation of data by

calculating maximum, minimum, mean, for valuation of trends, and comparison

with emission standards.

18.11 The National Ambient Air Quality Standards given in Air (Prevention and Control of

Pollution) Act, 1981 may be referred by the Contractor for Limit Levels of PM10 and

PM2.5 in ambient air which may be followed in estimating the pollution level caused

by Contractor’s activities.

18.12 Where the Employer’s Representative determines that the recorded PM10 level is

significantly greater than the Limit levels, the Employer’s Representative may direct

the Contractor to take effective remedial measures including, but not limited to,

reviewing dust sources and modifying working procedures.

18.13 Where the recorded baseline levels exceed the ambient air quality standards, then

at such locations the limit level is the recorded base line. Contractor shall take all

effective remedial measures to contain the levels to their baseline value as a result

of his\her activities.

18.14 The Contractor should inform Employer’s Representative of all steps taken to

investigate cause of non-conformance and immediate action taken to avoid further


Section VII



occurrences through written reports and proposals for action.

18.15 The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to minimise fugitive

emissions from operations Involving excavation, grading and clearing of land and

disposal of waste. He shall not allow emissions of fugitive dust from any

transport, handling, construction or storage activity to remain visible in

atmosphere beyond the property line of emission source of any prolonged period

of time without notification to the Employer/Employer’s Representative.

19. Noise and Vibration Monitoring19.1 The activities which are expected to cause noise during the construction include

noise from construction equipment, construction activities such as portal

construction, earthwork excavation, concreting, removal of spoil, movement of

construction vehicles and delivery vehicles travelling to and from the construction

and disposal sites etc.

19.2 The level of impact of these noise sources depends upon the noise characteristics

of the equipment and activities involved the construction schedule, and the

distance from noise sensitive receptors.

19.3 The Noise Monitoring and Control Plan (NMCP) in contract specific site

Environmental Management Plan prepared by the Contractor shall establish

procedures to monitor construction noise and determine when to apply measures

to control noise pollution due to construction activities at works site.

19.4 The NMCP will provide site description, define acceptable noise monitoring

equipment, provide monitoring locations and operating procedures for noise

equipment and indicate reports and record keeping on noise monitoring data.

19.5 The NMCP will provide guidance for construction activity. It shall also address noise

performance criteria used in the selection of construction equipment. In defining

the requirements of the NMCP, available measures for noise control, such as, the

use of equipment with special exhaust silencers or enclosures, and the

construction of temporary enclosures or noise barriers around specific construction

site activity areas shall be considered.

19.6 The NMCP will be reviewed on a regular basis and updated as necessary to assure

current construction activities are addressed.

19.7 The Employer’s Representative shall monitor Contractor’s performance of tasks

specified, and will inspect necessary records, report and procedures related to the

control of noise.

19.8 Noise monitoring shall be carried out at noise sensitive receptor locations within

200 feet of the construction site once each week and after a change in construction

activity. Construction noise measurements shall coincide with daytime and night-

time periods of maximum noise generating construction activities.

19.9 The appropriate parameter for measuring construction noise impacts shall be the

equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level (Leq) measured in decibels (dB). The

two statistical sound levels L10 and L90; the level exceeded for 10 and 90 percent of

the time respectively, shall also be recorded during monitoring. The L90 may be

considered as the ambient level into which the L10 as average peak level intrudes.

The Lmax, Leq, L10 and L90 values will be reported in the noise measurement form


Section VII



along with allowable noise limit. The duration of monitoring shall be on hourly basis

for 24hours.

19.10 In no case shall the Contractor expose the public to construction noise levels

exceeding 85 dBA(slow) or to impulsive noise levels with a peak sound pressure

level exceeding 140 dB as measured on an impulse sound level meter. The use of

hearing protection should be enforced actively when the equivalent sound level

over 8 hours reaches 85 dB(A), the peak sound levels reach 140 dB(C), or the

average maximum sound level reaches 110dB(A). Hearing protective devices

provided should be capable of reducing sound levels at the ear to at least 85

dB(A).”;

19.11 Limit for construction noise is based on the existing ambient noise levels in areas

adjoining the construction sites. If the measured noise levels exceed the noise

limits, the noise levels shall be reduced by appropriate abatement measures.

19.12 The noise levels emanating from any source during construction, shall not exceed

10 dB(A) or more above existing ambient pre-construction noise levels when

measured at a point outside the premises of the location of source. The same may

be varied from time to time by and at the sole discretion of the Employer’s

Representative.

19.13 The construction activities shall be limited to levels measured at a distance of 200

feet from the construction limits or at the nearest affected building, whichever is

closer, as given in Table - 4.

19.16 Should the impact monitoring record noise levels which are:

indicative of a deteriorating situation such that closer monitoring is reasonably

indicated, or

when in the opinion of the Employer’s Representative additional measurements

are required in view of deteriorating noise environment,

then, the Employer’s Representative may require the Contractor to increase the

frequency of impact monitoring at any one or more of the monitoring stations until

the results indicate an improving and acceptable level of noise.

19.17 The Contractor shall inform the Employer’s Representative of all steps taken to

investigate cause of non-conformance and immediate action taken to avoid further

occurrences through written reports and proposals for action.

19.18 The Contractor shall submit a copy of monitoring results. The results should

represent a statistical evaluation of data for evaluation of trends and comparison


Section VII



with noise emission standards.

19.19 Noise impacts should not exceed the CPCB standards described for 4 land types,

or result in a maximum increase in background levels of 3 dB at the nearest

receptor location off-site. Where the Employer’s Representative determines that

the recorded Noise level is significantly greater than the acceptable levels, the

Employer’s Representative may direct the Contractor to take effective remedial

measures including, but not limited to, reviewing noise sources and modifying

working procedures.

19.20 Protection against the effects of noise exposure should be provided when the

sound levels exceed those shown in Table No. 6 below when measured on the A-

scale of a standard sound level meter at slow response.

19.21 When employees are subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in the Table

No. 7 feasible administrative or engineering controls should be utilized.

19.22 If such controls fail to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table, personal

protective equipment shall be provide and used to reduce sound levels within the

levels of the table.

19.23 When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise

exposure of different levels, their combined effect should be considered, rather

than the individual effect of each. Exposure to different levels for various periods

of time shall be computed according to the formula as given below.

Fe = (T1/L1) +(T2/T2) +…+(Tn/Ln)

where, Fe= the equivalent nose

exposure factor.

T= the period of noise exposure at any essentially constant level.

L = the duration of the permissible noise exposure at the

constant level (from Table)

If the value of f exceeds unity (1) the exposure exceeds permissible levels.

19.24 A sample computation showing an application of the above formula is as follows.

An employee is exposed at these levels of these periods:


Section VII



11 dB(A) 1/4

hour. 100 dB(A)

1/2 hour. 90

dB(A) 1/2

hours. Then,

Fe = 0.500 +0.25 +0.188

Fe = 0.938

Since the value of Fe does not exceed unity, the exposure is within permissible limits.

19.25 The vibration level limits at work sites adjacent to the alignment shall conform to

permit values of peak particle velocity as give in Table No. 8.

Table 8

ENVIRONMENT TOTAL %

Contrator: Project Name:

Project Manager: Environment Manager :

Site Conditions:

Points will be objectively awarded by Environmental Personnel based upon site Environmental conditions.

Scoring will be as follows: Excellent (E) = 10, Good (G) = 8, Average (A) = 6, Fail (F) = 0, Non-Compliance (NC) = -10.

All non-compliance within the heavy bordered areas will receive an Action Notice at the required level.

All Suspended Operations Notices will be referred to the Project Manager, who will visit site within 24 hours to carry out further environment inspections.

Any non applicable topic and the corresponding “possible score” will not be marked and the score will be calculated by recognising the relevant possible score as

being 100% and the actual score as a percentage of this.
