on site.
 All equipment and materials used on site will be used and stored in a manner avoiding
oil, fuel and sewage spillage. If required adequate dip trays will be provided until any
such leakage is repaired.
 Dust control at the work sites is under the responsibility of the main contractor.
 Waste should be reduced and recycled where possible.
 Disposal area should be well prepared to receive to waste and all waste area and all
