FOREWORD
The construction industry is like any other industry and accidents do happen at sites. The causes can be many
but accidents are mainly caused due to carelessness, ignorance or lack of concentration. The tendency of not
using the proper work and safety systems, taking shortcuts and laziness to fetch the right tools and equipment
for a job causes accidents at site. Whatever be the cause, the outcome are often injury or ill health and
sometimes death. The other inevitable aspects are loss of time, money and other resources.
In construction work everyone has a personal responsibility for health and safety of self and others, including
the general public. There is therefore a need for constant health & safety awareness and vigilance on
construction sites to prevent accidents and injuries.
This Manual on Environment, Health and Safety aims to provide the basic aspects of health & safety as they
relate to construction work and take appropriate actions to protect air, water, and animal and plant life. It is
divided into sections dealing with specific construction site aspects.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
The construction industry in Indonesia received a boost due to the commencement of a large number of
infrastructure projects during the last decade of the twentieth century. Major initiatives in the roads,
telecommunications, housing, and water supply projects resulted in huge investments in these core development
sectors. These developments augured well for the countrys citizens, the job sector and provided new business
opportunities for those in the building industry.
However, these developments also had their flip side in the form of degradation of national resources,
degradation of the environment, destruction of ecosystems and habitat for the endangered species of flora and
fauna. The damage was not restricted to the land but also spread to the seas and the aquatic environment. The
pressures exerted by the ever - growing population resulted in severe air, water and land pollution.
In order to overcome these problems and to sustain the development activity without prejudice to the
environmental issues involved, several strategies were planned and some concrete measures put in place. A legal
and regulatory framework has been promulgated to take care of the environmental issues related to construction
activity.
In keeping with these sound environmental principles and policies, PTDI has decided to formalize this
document in the form of a Manual of the Environmental Management Systems at Construction Sites. This
manual represents the sentiments of the DIETZEL GROUP OF COMPANIES in so far as they relate to
environmental conservation. The principles and practices devised for the site personnel shall be strictly
implemented at all sites, with immediate effect.

SECTION:
Crushing of the quarried material to obtain the coarse aggregate as per the required size and quantity is another
important site activity. Crushing in mechanized crushers gives rise to vibrations, noise and dust nuisance.
Operation of WMM plant, hot mix plant and concrete batching plant are also essential site activities which give
rise to environmental impacts. These include dust and smoke nuisance, vibrations and noise.
Disposal of wastewater from the operations (without pre-treatment) of these plants also causes adverse impacts
on the groundwater sources at site.
If associated with poor drainage and disposal facilities, the stagnated wastewater can create unhygienic
conditions and endanger health of workers at site.
Impacts due to foundation works, blinding course and RCC
The foundation works involve excavation and disposal of excavated earth. In case the quantity to be disposed
off is significant, the disposal area has to be selected judiciously to avoid adverse impacts. The PCC blinding
course significantly changes the drainage properties of the subsoil strata. The overlaying RCC course also
increases the load on the soil and transfers the building loads to the soil.
Impacts due to superstructure and finishing works
The types of impacts on land, due to the construction of superstructure are similar in nature to those explained
earlier.
4.5
NOISE IMPACTS
During the construction works, the major source of noise pollution is the movement of vehicles, which are
engaged in transportation of construction materials. The plants and machinery operating at the site itself also
generate noise. Drilling and blasting operations also contribute to the noise levels significantly.
The operating noise levels due to construction machinery are given in the table below.
Machinery
Truck
Generator
Concrete Mixer
Vibrators
Motors
Pump Sets
Noise level modelling at typical construction sites shows that at a distance of about 350 M from the sources, the
noise levels are about 45 to 50 dBA. This level does not cause any adverse impact.
Impact on construction workers and staff
The equivalent sound level averaged over 8 hours (Leq(8hr)) is used to describe the exposure of noise in work
places. The damage risk criterion for hearing as enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) of the USA and also by the Govt. of Indonesia under the Factories Act, to reduce hearing loss stipulates
that the noise levels up to 90dBA are acceptable for 8 hours exposure per day.
The American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists has proposed an Leq(8hr) limit of 85 dBA.
Exposure to impulses or impact noise (blasting) should not exceed 140 dBA (peak acoustic pressure). Exposure
to 10,000 impulses of 120 dBA is permissible per day. During controlled blasting, with ear protection the noise
level impact can be significantly reduced. Except for the diesel generators, the noise exposure of workers to

SECTION:
other machinery is below 90dBA. Only those workers, who are working very close to the generator, are likely to
have a prolonged exposure to higher noise levels than those prescribed.
4.6 AIR QUALITY IMPACTS
The concentration of air pollutants such as NOx, SO2 and SPM in the ambient air at the construction sites goes
up due to construction activity. The baseline levels of 10.0 g per m3 for SO2, 20.0 g per m3 for NO2 and 100
g per m3 for SPM can be considered as typical ambient levels.
Operations at the work site
Use of diesel engines at the work site is the main cause of air pollution. If it is assumed that for a typical site
about 200 litres of diesel is consumed per day by all the machinery and equipment in use, the air pollution at site
will be mainly ground based and the effect will be localized for the construction period. The impact is not
considered as significant.
Material movement
The incremental impacts on air quality due to the materials movement are not expected to be significant due to
very low level of emissions of air pollutants. Fugitive emissions of pollutants during material movement will not
significantly add to the impacts.
Dust and inorganic pollutants
Significant amount of dust is generated at site during various activities. However, this is restricted to the
construction phase for a short duration and is unlikely to have any significant impacts.
4.7 WATER QUALITY IMPACTS
The construction phase of the projects generally does not have significant impacts on water quality of the
surface sources. However, some instances of pollution due to unchecked human wastes generated around the
site by the labour camps have been reported. From the point of view of the health and hygiene of site staff and
workers, it is imperative to ensure that surface water quality is not allowed to deteriorate.

shall be done on the slopes to prevent erosion due to rainwater.
Water Quality Impact: Generally the water quality impacts at site due to construction activity shall be
negligible. However, these can be further reduced by good house keeping and good construction practices. It
shall be ensured that the wastewater from the site does not drain towards the water sources and that all the solid
waste is disposed off well away from the sources.
Borrow Pits and Quarrying Activity: The impacts due to the borrow pits needed for earth filling at site shall
be reduced by carefully choosing the areas for the pits. Similarly, only licensed quarries shall be patronized for
procuring aggregates and sand and these shall be expected to abide by the EMP. The pits and quarries shall be
backfilled after the project needs are through to mitigate adverse impacts. Debris generated during construction
shall be used for this purpose.
Workers Colony & Sanitation Issues: The workers colony at site shall be away from other habitation and
shall be set up with due consideration to the area sanitation and hygienic living conditions. Adequate provision
shall be made for the disposal of domestic solid waste and wastewater with due regard to the integrity of the
main water source at site. Sanitary facilities and other mandatory requirements as stipulated in labour Welfare
laws shall be provided.

EXCAVATIONS
Deep trenches look dangerous and forbidding and precautions are usually taken against these.
However, most accidents occur in trenches less than 2.5m deep. Rain followed by drying out in hot
weather can cause trenches to collapse.
A cubic metre of soil weighs over two tons. A person buried under this load in a trench would quickly
suffocate and die.
Support to trenches:
Sides of all excavations shall be sloped to a safe angle not steeper than the angle of repose of the
particular soil.
If this is not possible, the sides of the excavated trench shall be supported by timber / other suitable
shoring.
Where excavation is with an excavator, step-down procedure shall be followed.
No excavation below the foundation level of any adjoining building/ plant/factory shall be taken up
unless the foundations are protected to prevent damage.
Cutting shall be done from top to bottom. No undercutting shall be allowed.
Trench supports shall be designed to minimize risk of injury and death.
All trenches shall have access to see if they need support.
Battering or sloping the side to reduce the risk of collapse shall be done.
Excavations shall be inspected daily for any evidence of cave-ins or slides and proper records kept.
All narrow trenches shall have one access ladder for 30 m length.
Precautions in excavations:
Safety helmets shall be worn at all times by those working in the trenches.
Access to and from excavations shall be by ladders, securely fixed.
Guardrails and warning signs shall be placed where a person may fall more than 2 metres and where
the public may be at risk.
Edges of excavations shall be adequately illuminated, particularly where close to public thoroughfares
and barricades or fences constructed around excavations.
Excavations shall be checked regularly for toxic and explosive gases
Barriers & caution tapes shall be used to keep plant and equipment away from the edges of
excavations.
Excavated soil shall be kept at-least 1 metre away from the edge of excavation.
Shoring shall be done where there are chances of earth caving in.
Heavy machinery or equipment shall always maintain a safe working distance from the edge of the
trench to prevent a cave-in or sliding of materials into the trench.
Stops shall be provided on trench edges to prevent overrun of dumpers and Lorries tipping.
Dewatering pumps shall be used with caution to prevent earth collapse in the trenches.
Protective clothing and safety footwear shall be worn along-with safety harness secured to fully tended
lifeline by workers in trenches.
Ear defenders should be worn during sheet pile driving by workers.
Exposed underground service cables and pipelines shall be supported. Care shall be taken to avoid
damage to these services and utilities.
Hand excavation methods shall be used around all buried pipelines or electrical cables.
No smoking shall be permitted in the excavated trenches.
Identifying and dealing safely with buried services:
Excavation work shall not be carried out until a risk assessment has been completed.

FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION
Fire Protection and Prevention Procedures shall comply with the requirements of the regulations laid down by
the respective authorities. The provisions of this section are intended for reference to supplement the
regulations, which shall govern.
Fire is basically a chemical reaction. It is an oxidation process accompanied by heat, light and smoke. For its
sustenance fire needs fuel, heat and oxygen. To eliminate the fire, it is important to know the source and its
location. Nearly 25% fires are due to electrical causes in building construction. The known causes of fire are
listed below.
Electrical: Temporary or makeshift and substandard wiring, and its overloading is the most common reason of
electrical fires. Loss of insulation, loose fitting plugs and sockets and unmatched electrical equipment are a few
other causes.
Smoking : Habit of casual and careless smoking at all the places at the work site without due regard to the
attendant hazards like presence of rags, clothes, wooden scrap, discarded / stored chemicals, fuels, oils and
lubricants and organic gases in excavated trenches can cause fire accidents.
Welding & Cutting : Fabrication involving welding and cutting operations done carelessly in areas strewn with
wood, cardboard, straw and its products, paper and rags, oils, paints, asphalt and any other easily combustible
material can cause fire.
Classification of fires:
Class A fires
: Wood, textiles, paper, rubbish.
Class B fires
: Oils, grease, paint, petroleum products
Class C fires
: Gaseous substances under pressure.
Class D fires
: Reactive chemicals, active metals.
Class E fires
: Electrical equipment, delicate machines.
Fire Protection and Prevention Procedures cover the following issues:
Type, use and location of fire extinguishing equipment
Fire classification and recommended protection equipment
Fire brigades
Fire prevention checks
The common types of fire extinguishers use one of the following extinguishing agents:
Water
Foam
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Dry chemicals
Recommended extinguishing agents shall be as follows:

ACCIDENT REPORTING AND FIRST AID
ACCIDENTS
Accidents must be reported to the supervisor, manager and the senior management and a record should be kept.
Where accidents are not reported, there may be no evidence to support a claim for compensation from insurance
companies.
The information gained from reported accidents can be used to improve health and safety in the workplace.
REPORTING ACCIDENTS
Green Background
All accidents at work shall be reported and recorded.
Details of the accident shall be recorded in the accident book.
FIRST AID
White Cross
First aid is an immediate and temporary medical care provided to the injured workers at site before the services
of a qualified medical practitioner are made available. It is important for the personnel administering First Aid
to know what they should do and also what they must not do.
Improper and careless movement of the victim may increase the severity of the problem and in extreme
cases may cause death.
Great haste in administering First aid may not be often necessary but in cases of severe bleeding and in cases
where breathing is suspended, immediate action is needed.
Bleeding: It is best controlled by direct pressure applied to the wound by a sterile dressing or any clean cloth.
Keeping the victim in lying position will reduce the bleeding in some cases. It may be completely controlled by
applying finger pressure to the blood vessel that supplies blood to the wounded area.
Artificial Respiration: In cases of electric shock, drowning, gas poisoning and suffocation, if breathing stops,
immediate action is essential. Artificial respiration should be given using resuscitator. Mouth to mouth
respiration should be started without any time loss and should be continued until the victim starts breathing on
his own, or is brought to the Doctor.
Fractures: In case of visible or suspected fracture, the adjacent joints should be immobilised. If bleeding also
occurs, it should be controlled. While transporting the victim to the doctor, care should be taken not to disturb
the fractured limb.
First Aid Equipment: A fully equipped First Aid Box must be available at the site. It should contain adequate
supply of various types of bandages and field dressings, snakebite kit, artificial resuscitator, essential medicines
and pain killer tablets.
The first aid box shall be marked with a white cross on a green background.
It shall be placed where it can be seen and used.
Small travelling first aid kits shall be provided for persons who are required to:
Work in groups, remote areas, or in isolation.
Use potentially dangerous tools or machinery.
Proper training shall be given to the persons with responsibility for first aid at site.

first aid. There should be first-aid box kin the working chamber.
If during compression any person is suffering from discomfort, compression should be stopped and the
pressure be gradually reduced. Locks and shafts should be constructed of steel of adequate thickness.
Every working chamber should be provided with wet-bulb thermometer. Work under pressure, when the
wet-bulb temperature exceeds 28 0 C should be restricted unless it is absolutely necessary. When any
person is in a working chamber, the door between the chamber and a man-lock leading to a lower
pressure should as far as practicable be kept open, if the lock is not in use.
The medical-lock should have two compartments so that it can be entered under pressure. Medical-lock
should be adequately ventilated, heated and lit. Medical-locks should have means of communication and
signalling to outside and between the compartments and windows by which persons in either
compartment can be observed from outside. Medical-locks should be kept ready for use at all times.

subjected to impact while handling them. Explosives and detonators should not be conveyed together in a
shaft cage with other materials. The containers of the explosives and detonators should be adequately
insulated from the car or cage and other materials. Wooden explosives, causes should be opened with
wooden mallets and wedges and never use metal tools.
The blasting foreman will check all the holes of the pattern, which are to be blasted before he brings the
required quantity of explosives and the detonator at the face of the tunnel. No smoking or open fire/flare
shall be allowed in the explosive loading area. Only electric blasting must be used in tunnelling.
Muck cars should be loaded evenly and the muck is not piles up dangerously high above the sides. Cars
carrying pipes, rails, steel supports, timber, etc. must be properly loaded for the safe passage through the
tunnel. Tunnel tracks are usually rough, so overloading and over speeding of trains must be avoided. The
locomotive should be equipped with clean headlights and a warning horn or bell.
All rails on which locomotives, wagons or cars move should be joined by fishplates or double chairs and
be securely fastened to sleepers or bearers for preventing any dangerous variations in the gauge. It should
be provided with adequate stops and buffers at every track end.
When the access to the face of the tunnel is through a shaft the tunnel muck is hoisted through the shaft
and brought to surface for disposal. Hoisting machines should be equipped with adequate brakes, which
will automatically stop and hold the conveyance, if the hoisting power fails. Shafts exceeding 30 M in
depth should have an installation for conveying persons such as a cage or car equipped with safety gear
that automatically holds the fully loaded cage or car, if the suspension rope breaks or becomes slack. The
cage or car should be provided open side with a gate or adequate barrier and with a roof affording
adequate protection against falling objects.
Adequate ventilation in all tunnelling work is required for supply of fresh air to the working crew and
removal of harmful and obnoxious dust, dynamic fumes and other gases. Mechanical ventilation with the
reversible duct blowers are provided for efficient ventilation of the face and the tunnel. Ventilation ducts
should be airtight.
Workers employed in sinking shafts should be protected against the falls of objects should be provided
with staging or cradles from which they can work safely. Shaft top should be protected by adequate
fencing or guard-rails and toe-boards and gages. All shafts should have ladder way from the surface to the
workings, in additions to any mechanical means or ingress and agrees. Winches at shaft tops should be so
installed that the bucket can be attached and detached safely. Top of the shaft should be adequate
protected against in rushes of water.
