D2:- SAFE ENTRY AND WORKING IN SEWER LINES – GUIDELINES

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, Machine

holes, tunnels, shafts, ducts, other similarsewerage 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 condition.

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 breathingapparatus,

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 illumination.

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

or equivalent standard.

Illumination standards are: -

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

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 considered.

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 Machine hole 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 entry.

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

lifeline and safety nets as appropriate to prevent drowning and washing away.

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 when required.

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 their health.

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 andbe able

to summon emergency help, provide first aid and assist emergency service personnel, if

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

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 spacecan 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 confinedspace, 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 wornwhere 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)

Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, flammable and toxic. Its common sources are

fire, motor vehicle exhausts and cigarette smoke.

This gas is a chemical asphyxiant and is readily absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood.

Then hemoglobin is unable to transport oxygen to the body tissues and the body becomes

oxygen starved. These effects are more pronounced with hard work or for heavy smokers.

Symptoms include headache (50-200ppm), nausea (400ppm), irregular heartbeat

(1200ppm). Collapse and death (2000ppm).

The entry permit limit is 10 Parts Per Million (ppm). Maximum with an IDLH value of

1500 ppm. (IDLH-Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health)

Note: Some gas detecting machine sensors are cross sensitive, H2S being detected by the

CO cell and vice versa. Alarm by either sensor requires evacuation and re-evaluation of

the safe system of work.

26. Flammable Gas/Vapor

A gas or vapor that will burn when mixed with air in certain proportions and

The mixture, which contains the least amount of flammable gases that will explode, is

called the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). The mixture, which contains just enough

Oxygen to let the flammable gas explode, is called the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL). The

flammable range varies for gases and vapors.

Many of these have toxic effects when inhaled and a Workplace Exposure Standard has

been issued to protect workers from these Gas/Vapor. The Contractor shall obtain relevant

Workplace Exposure Standard (WES) for use in the site.

Gas / Vapour Flammable Range 5% LEL WES

in % (FOR ENTRY PERMIT

Butane 1.9 – 8.5 950 ppm 800 ppm

n-Hexane 1.2 – 6.9 600 ppm 50 ppm

Methane 5 – 15 2500 ppm Axphyxiant

Petrol 1.3 6 650 ppm 900mg/cum

Trichloroethylene 12.5 90 6259 ppm 50 ppm

27. Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S)

Hydrogen Sulphide is a colourless, toxic and flammable gas, which usually has the

odour of rotten eggs. In sewerage systems it is usually derived from the action of bacteria

on the sulphur compounds in anaerobic or old sewage. A smallamount of sludge or slime

in wet wells or sewers will release a lot of H2S when disturbed.

After a few minutes exposure, the ability to smell hydrogen sulphide by a person is lost

and then hydrogen sulphide becomes more dangerous as its presence is no longer

obvious and the person could become an innocent victim.

It can sometimes be detected by odour at less than 0.1 ppm but can be readily detected by

odour at 4 ppm. More serious health effects include eye irritation (10 ppm), respiratory

irritation (50 ppm), headache, nausea, dizziness (200 ppm), collapse and death (700 ppm).

The entry permit limits is 5 parts Per Million (ppm), Maximum with an Immediately

Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) value of 300 ppm.

Some gas detecting machine sensors are cross sensitive, H2S being detected by the CO

cell and vice versa. Alarm by either sensor requires evacuation and re- evaluation of the

safe system of work.

28. Methane (CH4)

The most common flammable gas found in sewers is methane. This mainly comes from

gas pipe leaks in the city’s gas distribution system. It can also be derived from the action

of anaerobic bacteria on rotting material. However a range of other flammable gases and

vapours may be encountered. These include LPG, petrol vapour and other solvents.

Digester gas, found in anaerobic sludge digesters on sewage treatment plants is a

flammable mixture of methane nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

Methane is a colourless, odourless gas. Although pure methane is slightly lighter than air

the relative density of methane / air mixture is similar to air entry permit range. Methane

is hazardous because of its flammability, i.e. between concentrations of 5% to 15% in air,

it may explode if an ignition source is present.

High concentrations of methane may result in oxygen deficiency. Injury or death

result from lack of oxygen not methane toxicity classifying methane as a simple

29. Oxygen Content (O2)

Fresh air contains 20.9% oxygen, equivalent to a partial pressure of 211.8 hectopascal of

oxygen at sea level.

The readings obtained on a gas detection instrument in open air may vary depending on

instrument calibration and barometric pressure.

In a confined space, oxygen can be used up by bacteria in sewage or sludge, rusting of

iron fittings, burning (or welding) or displaced (pushed out) by other gases.

Breathing of air, which contains reduced oxygen results in increasingly serious health

effects. These range from impaired coordination and faulty judgment (12- 16% O 2) to

collapse and rapid death (less 6% O2).

Increased oxygen readings can only come from instrument error or by leakage from

oxygen cylinders, liquid oxygen tank, etc. High oxygen levels greatly increase fire

hazards, fires burn fiercely; oily clothing and hair can catch fire without an ignition

The entry permit levels are 19.5% to 23.5% by volume.

Parts per million (ppm)

Parts of gas or vapour per million parts of contaminated air by volume at 200C and

Parts of substance per 100 parts of air,

water etc. 1% = 10,000 P

31. Other Atmospheric Contaminants

Entry, unless wearing air supplies breathing apparatus is not permitted unless atmosphere

contaminants are below the relevant 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) Workplace

Exposure Standard. This limit applies for all entries including brief exposures. Entry

wearing breathing apparatus is only permitted where the concentration of the contaminant

is within the protection factor of the breathing apparatus and below the IDLH

(Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) value.

32. Sewer Gases

Air in contact with live sewage contains gases released from the sewer. For safe entry,

contaminated air must be replaced with clean air by ventilation of the confined space. The

resulting atmosphere must be confirmed by gas testing.

Discharge of untreated wastes, e.g. hypochlorites, electroplating effluent, acids may result

in generation of chlorine, hydrogen cyanide and other harmful gases some distance from

the original discharge.

33. Confined Space Categorisation

The confined space category is a guide to developing a safe system of work. The confined

space category may change to a more stringent level as a result of adverse environmental

factors or work produces contaminants. Alternatively it may change to a less

restrictive category if appropriate engineering upgrades,

whether temporary or permanent, are implemented.

Category 1 – Confined Space

Entry allowed only if flammable gas is below 5% of L.E.L. and other gases arewithin

the protection factor of the respiratory protective equipment used.

Visibility must be adequate

Personal Safety

o Wear specified protective clothing for the hazards.

o Wear safety harness.

o Use lifeline where appropriate.

Respiratory Protection
