SAFE WORK PRACTICE PRINCIPLES

1. Introduction

These general guidelines are intended to assist the Contractor in the

development of safe work practices. Where the risk assessment indicates that a

particular hazard cannot be present, the precautions to control that hazard do not

apply. Remember that a favorable history does not guarantee absence of hazard

on this occasion.

2. Confined Space

“Confined Space”, in relation to a place of work, means a space of any volume

which a person may at any time enter or be allowed to be entered in which the

atmosphere is liable at any time to be oxygen deficient. This includes but not

limited to pipes, sewers, machineholes, tunnels, shafts, ducts, other similar

sewerage installations and etc.

The Contractor shall develop acceptable work practices and safe entry

procedures based on the guidelines provided hereunder and the AMC’s safety

code on safety precautions to be observed during sewer desilting / lining work.

3. Notification to Work in Confined Space

The Contractor shall obtain an entry permit from the Engineer for each occupancy

of any confined space. The Contractor shall furnish all required details in an

approved format to the Engineer for permission to work in confined space at least

24 hours prior to the entry. Where prolonged work is involved, the permit must be

renewed for each shift. An incident, which substantially alters the condition of a

confined space entry, requires immediate evacuation and reassessment of the

4. Air Quality and Ventilation

Contaminant control and effective ventilation are major factors influencing air

quality in a confined space. The ventilation must be adequate to clear pre-existing

contaminated air and maintain a respirable atmosphere during planned work. This

ventilation may be permanently installed or portable equipment used for this task.

For general ventilation, fresh air should be supplied to the workplace. Within the

sewer system this creates an environment, which displaces contaminated air in

the immediate vicinity.

Where a task generates atmospheric contaminants in a specific area e.g. use of

chemical such as polyester resin, adequate local exhaust ventilation should be

used to remove the contaminants. Where failure of the mechanical ventilation

system would result in deterioration of air quality, the controls must be clearly

tagged to prevent accidental interference and the ventilation system monitored

while the confined space is occupied. Self-Rescuers must be carried whenever

failure of the ventilation system or changes in the working environment can create

a contaminated atmosphere. The self-rescuer can be a self-contained breathing

apparatus, oxygen self-rescuer, or short duration self-contained breathing

apparatus, depending on the time taken to reach open air.

Note: Obtain occupational hygiene advice on the selection or performance of

ventilation system where this is not specified in the work practice or plant design.

Any regularly accessed confined space should be illuminated to AS 1680 or

equivalent with electrical installation to AS 3000 or equivalent. Portable lighting

may be used to supplement permanent lighting in the workplace. Temporary

mains powered lighting installed for a task must comply with the requirements of

AS 2865 or equivalent Indian Standards. Miners lamps, mounted on a safety

helmet may be used as an alternative to a hand held torch for personal

Unless portable lighting complies with AS 2380.7 or similar Indian Standard the

possibility of a flammable atmosphere must be eliminated by isolation, cleaning,

ventilation purging etc.

Where the confined space has been proclaimed as a flammable gas hazard area

to AS 2430 or similar standard all fixed and temporary electrical installation must

comply with AS 2381 or equivalent standard. Torches and portable lights must

comply with AS 2380.7 or equivalent standard.

Illumination standards are: -

General Lighting: - 40 lux minimum, equivalent to a poorly

lit room Stairway Lighting: - 80 lux minimum

Task Lighting :- 240 lux minimum (normal workshop requirements)

6. Equipment usage, Standards and Maintenance

All confined space safety equipment as proposed in this tender documents shall

also meet the established international labour safety standards and be of

appropriate designed capacity for the proposed usage at sites. The equipment

must be checked for visible damage and correct operation before each use.

Preventative maintenance must be performed by trained, and where necessary,

authorized persons at the intervals recommended by the equipment

manufacturers. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer evidence of such

periodic check and maintenance of the equipment used for confined space entry

at every first week of the month.

7. Room to Work

When the constricted volume of a worksite prevents normal work postures and

tool movement, the need for special tools or frequent work rotation should be

8. Control of Flooding

When a confined space is normally liquid filled, accidental return to service must

be prevented by double isolation e.g. insertion of suitable blanking piece, plugging

with inflatable plugs, temporary coffer dams as a second isolation in a

machinehole or other effective means.

9. Flow Control

Where a sewer is entered while flowing, rapid increase in flow must be prevented

by use of stop logs, isolation of pumping stations, weather watch and other

means appropriate to the sewer catchments. Adequate communication with the

person responsible for flow diversion must be maintained for the duration of the

Where deep flowing water is present, use personal flotation devices. Safety

harness and lifeline and safety nets as appropriate to prevent drowning and

11. Fire and Explosion

Adequate precautions must be taken to minimize the risk of fire or explosion when

entering a confined space for any purpose.

12. Presence of Flammable Gas

The presence of flammable gas, flammable dust or the possibility of the presence

of airborne substances in flammable quantities may create a hazardous Area.

Care shall be taken by the authorized person to determine the presence of any

such flammable situation in the confined space before entry. Smoking or lighting

any cigarette or box matches in confined space shall be strictly prohibited. The

flammable gases of concern are methane, digester gas, vapours from flammable

liquid, and vapours from trade waste discharges.

13. Manual Handling of Tools, etc.

Safe system of work should be followed to protect against falls of persons or

objects and crush by moving or falling objects.

Reverberation within a confined space can increase noise levels, especially if

more than one person is working. Heavy duty hearing protection may be required.

15. Vermin / Leptospirosis

All persons working in confined spaces should be aware of the leptospirosis

hazard presented by the presence of vermin. The presence of cockroaches etc.

does NOT indicate that the atmosphere is free of danger to health.

16. Standby and Communication

A member of the confined space work team is allocated the task of maintaining

communication with the members inside the confined spaces. This task may be

rotated among the members of the team. The Standby person must be trained

and be physically capable of providing the assistance and life support in an

emergency and must have sufficient proficiency in Hindi, English, Urdu and

Punjabi languages to promptly communicate information by radio or telephone

While acting as stand-by, this person must not enter the confined space or leave

the vicinity unless relieved from this duty. A standby person is needed for all

confined space entries. The Safe System of Work must indicate the process for

communication from the confined space to the standby e.g. 2 way radio ‘man

down’ alarm line of sigh etc.

17. Fitness Assessment

An assessment of fitness, including cardiovascular and respiratory health, is

required to ensure that all persons entering confined spaces, or acting as the

stand-by person, can comply with the physical demands of the job, without risk to

18. Emergency Rescue and First Aid

No person shall enter any confined space, even in an emergency, without first

ensuring all safety requirements have been met. A safety emergency plan may

assist in a safe, speedy response in the event of an emergency.

All confined space work teams must be trained and equipped to sustain life and

be able to summon emergency help, provide first aid and assist emergency

service personnel, if requested.

Trained persons using supplied air breathing apparatus must only attempt rescue

of persons apparently overcome by toxic gases in a sewer or other confined

spaces. Stabilization of other injuries must be prioritized against the availability of

breathable air.

19. Gas Detector

The Contractor shall engage an authorized person for gas monitoring and

detection. This person shall be trained to operate and response test gas testing

equipment and is authorized by management to perform the necessary tests to

decide whether a category 2 or 3 confined space is fit to enter.

Gas testing can only be performed by persons trained in gas testing, using

equipment appropriate for the anticipated contaminants. This person can perform

other duties provided these do not conflict with the gas-testing task.

20. Specialist Gas Detector

This person has technical qualifications and acceptable training to operate and

response test gas testing equipment, including hydrocarbon detectors and

detector tubes and assesses portable ventilation systems. He is authorized by

management to carry out atmospheric testing to establish entry conditions for all

confined space categories, and to establish whether a Category 1 confined space

can be re-classified to a Category 2. He also performs tests to verify whether hot

work is permitted in gas hazard areas.

Where possible, cleaning should be performed without entry to the confined

space, even if only preliminary cleaning is possible.

Particular attention should be given to the probability of releasing hydrogen

sulphide when disturbing microbial active sludge and sediments, which have

accumulated in a confined space. Supplied air respiratory protection shall be worn

where such residues exist and effective ventilation cannot be guaranteed.

Continuous gas monitoring is required even when supplied air respirator

protection is used.

Hose couplings should be designed to resist accidental dislodging or loosening.

Both the operators and the standby person should be able to stop the flow of

cleaning material into the confined space.

Hydro jetting must be performed according to the relevant regulations. Where

chemical compound is used in within the confined space, the chemical compound

should be classed in the Material Safety Data Sheets as non-irritant to respiratory

system, eyes and skin. If this is not possible then appropriate respirator skin and

eye protection must be worn. Substance specific air monitoring may be required.

A visitor to a confined space is a person other than a contractor, who is not a

member of the Confined Space Work team. Visitors must be escorted and trained

or inducted in the necessary skills for that entry and shall sign an indemnity form

before entry into a confined space. No visitor shall be allowed to enter the

confined space without prior permission of Engineer.

23. Hazard Control

Hazards to be identified and controlled include but are not limited to access

mechanical and electrical isolation, flow isolation and control, drowning and

engulfment, last known contents, atmospheric contaminants, temperature

extremes, security and public access.

24. Air Quality Standard For Entry

The acceptable limits of some gases in confined spaces are:

Gas/Vapor Present Acceptable Limits

a. Oxygen Content (o) 19.5% to 23.5% by volume

b. Flammable Gas/Vapor 5% of Lower Explosive Level (LEL)

c. Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) 5 ppm

d. Carbon Monoxide (CO) 10 ppm

25. Carbon Monoxide (CO)
