Transportation of cable trays is made when the site is ready. Crane will be used and all necessary
precaution matures will be taken. Providing crane to transportation GCB and accessories from
lay down area to the field. Transportation crane carriage bag will have 5m length space. Use
crane and pickup for lifting and carrying GCB. GCB will be placed where reserved to put for it.
All cylinder movement should be done with a compressed gas cylinder cart. Always secure the
cylinders when in storage or use. Wear safety glasses, work gloves, and appropriate work shoes
when necessary.

6.4. Preparing Element Prior to Installation

6.5. Installation
Installation will be carried out in accordance with the last approved revision of the installation
projects. Request form for materials will be prepared. GCB will be transported from lay down
area to site with crane. GCB will be fixed safely in the crane board. At the working area, GCB
will be placed in a way that will not prevent safe access and egress. The assembly drawings will
be checked on the place of installation. Support of GCB will be installed on the roof. GCB will
be lifted to place in accordance to lifting operation section 7.3, crane will be used by competent
person. GCB will be placed and installed in accordance to projects. According to the projects,
grounding will be made after GCB erection will be done. After the works is done daily, working
areas will be cleaned.

7.3. Lifting operations

Execution of the lifting operations will comply with the provisions of the Project HSE Manual.
Cranes will be set on even flat ground. Pads will be used under the outriggers feet where
necessary.
When work is close to excavation the lifting equipment will be positioned that should change
between 1m and 4m from the excavation edge in order to prevent earth collapse in accordance to
ground type. Working limits of the lifting equipment stipulated by the manufacturer will not be
exceeded. All lifting equipment will be stored in closed area away from wet and direct sunlight.
Lifting of GCB will be carried out only with fabric slings with the proper safe working load
limit. Fabric slings shall be protected for sharp edges. The slings will be inspected and colorcoded. Lifting operation shall be segregated from other persons on site. All personnel and third
parties will be kept out of any area where they might be struck or crushed by a load or lifting
equipment if it swings, shifts or falls. Operators of lifting equipment will be able to see the full
path of the load or have a signaler with an appropriate means of communication to guide them.
Operator will obey an emergency stop signal at all times, no matter who gives it. The operator
will not leave the operating controls while the load is suspended.
Taglines will be used all time, it refers to load to be guided and controlled. Lifting equipment
will not be used in the open air where weather conditions could affect the integrity of the
equipment or expose persons to danger.

edges and openings where risk of fall from 1.5 m presents. It will be fully planked and toeboards will be placed. It will have top and mid-guardrail and will be fixed to an existing structure
or stabilized using outriggers. Walkways will be kept clear of trash, debris and other materials to
prevent slipping and tripping.

7.5. Manual handling

Where manual handling cannot be avoided tasks will be designed to minimize the
weight, range of motion, and frequency of the activity. During manual handling all
workers have to wear safety gloves and make sure they are protective against trip
hazards and sharp edges. The distance between the person and the object being
handled will be as small as possible. Employees will use good manual handling
techniques for lifting, pulling or pushing. Material handling equipment will be easy
