SPECIFIC EHS REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSET DISPOSAL
1.0. Site Safety Setup
1.1. Contractor should appoint qualified, experienced (minimum 5 Years) and knowledgeable
Safety Officer/s who will communicate, implement and drive the procedures throughout
the work force. Based on the labour force at site and risk associated with activities

protection requirement in case of construction project.
2.4. Following steps must be followed for all high-risk activities while working at height:
2.4.1. Make fall protection part of your workplace safety and health program
2.4.2. Identify/recognize and evaluate fall hazards before allowing worker to work
2.4.3. Eliminate fall hazards, if possible.
2.4.4. USL preference for fall protection system is as follows
a. Cherry Pickers
b. Scissor lifters
c. Scaffolding (With access equipment)
d. Life line systems
e. Safety Nets
2.4.5. All such equipment shall be complied with international standards like ANSI, EN
and their load carrying capacity shall be at least 2 times of expected live load.
2.4.6. Load carrying capacity of all such equipment shall be certified by a competent
person.

allowed and checked as per Annexure-4
2.4.9. Crane those comply with checklist given in Annexure-5 shall allowed.
2.4.10. Proper use of appropriate equipment like scaffolds or elevated working platform
with guardrail, to prevent falls and to protect workers by encouraging use of
approved safety harness with double lanyards, safety net system, etc.
2.4.11. Inspect and maintain fall-protection equipment before and after using it.
3.0. Scaffolding
3.1. Minimum safety requirements:
3.1.1. Scaffolds must always be erected, maintained and dismantled by competent and

bearing lashings, if of timber or by right angle load bearing couplers, if of metal.
3.1.8. Transoms and putlog should be horizontal and at right angle to the ledgers, to
which they should be secured by right angle couplers or putlog couplers.
3.1.9. Platforms should be close boarded; overlapping of boards and excessive
overhangs should be avoided.
3.1.10. Diagonal bracing parallel to the face of the building and full height of the scaffold
should be provided at 30 m intervals.
