8. HEALTH RISKS:

8.1. Asbestos

There will be no materials containing asbestos used on this project.

However, as the property is very old, and Owner is not fully aware of the construction of the
property, it is possible that asbestos may be encountered on site when working on existing
insulation. The CONTRACTOR will take due care while working on all old insulations by
inspecting the work place prior to commencing the work.

If asbestos, or suspected asbestos, is encountered during normal working on site wok shall
be stopped so that the material can be tested and provisions made for its removal under the
Contractor’s Asbestos Management Plan.

8.2. Manual Handling

Risk of Musculo-skeletal injuries shall be eliminated by providing alternative mechanical

means of lifting/moving loads where practicable, and by employing safe handling methods
based on CONTRACTOR’s standard operating procedures. Suitable gloves shall be provided
to mitigate the risk of hand injuries.

Prepared by: Rajnish Kumar Rev 0

 Page 18 of 24
ALGONQUIN COLLEGE – Construction Project Management
MGT1100 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
A site file shall be maintained for all hazardous substances brought onto site and shall be
available for inspection by the CDM Contractor at all times.

8.4. Reducing noise and vibration

Risks associated with noise and vibration shall be properly assessed and eliminated where
possible. Residual risks shall be controlled by the use of equipment and tools with low
noise/vibration emission levels, controlling/monitoring of exposure periods and the use
suitable and sufficient PPE. Health Screening shall be required for those subjects to regular
exposure.

PPE will be made available and issued to all personnel working in areas where noise is
expected to exceed 85dB(A).

All equipment generating vibration will have their vibration output recorded on them. From
this information the time limit for exposure to that vibration shall be found and personnel
shall be sure not to operate the equipment in excess of this limit.

8.5. Environmental Protection Strategy

General requirements
As per the CONTRACTOR’s Environmental Policies all necessary precautions shall be taken to
prevent; spills, leaks or other environmental emissions due to equipment failures, fuel
handling, rain water run-off, soil erosion, hazardous material usage, asbestos abatements, or
any other construction related activity, which could adversely affect the environmental
integrity of soil, water or air. The effects that potentially could cause nuisance to those
operating other facilities or living nearby the site will be reviewed and mitigating action will
be taken where deemed appropriate.

Environmental Control Measures

General control measures to be taken shall include:
1. Inclusion of environmental impacts and controls in HSE Plans, Method Statements and
