 EHS MANSOON PLAN

Inspection’s
• Weekly inspection of Tower Crane, RMC plant, Cranes, Lifting
Equipments, Concrete Pumps, Electrical Equipments.

• Regular Inspection of Excavated Pit .

• Regular Inspection of Confined space areas.
• Restriction for entry of vehicle below high tension line by
Barricading below high tension line.

• All Machinery Kept on height from ground level.

• Regular Inspection at labour camp near Permanent structure
like Retaining wall ,Compound wall, filled soil excavated area.

Electrical Safety
 working with live electrical panels in the switch yard / sub-station
is not advisable during raining.
 Lay all power cables overhead/over the ground. Avoid power
cable joints. In case cable joints are required, provide the
standard insulations and keep the cables rigidly away from water.
 No worker should be allowed to work at un –protected area
(Electrical pole / towers , free beam / cantilever etc.) at height
during raining.
 DBs shall be protected with adequate weather protection shed
OR plastic cover to restrict entry of water.
 All body earthings of all electrical panels, DBs will be checked for
tightness and effectiveness.
 Welding operation is carry only in shed to protect from moisture
with Fire Precautionary Measures..
 EHS MANSOON PLAN

Electrical Safety
 Regularly inspection of RCCB to find out they are properly
working or not.
 Regularly Earthing Resistance Value Checking .
 Check for water accumulation around electrical installation like
meter room, main distribution board, DG sheds, etc., if required
elevate the level for safer approach.
 Do not touch any installation in or near meter room if the wall is
wet.
 Reinforce all sub-distribution boards with further supports /
anchors to avoid board falling.
 Inspect installed ELCB & check earth resistance prior to
monsoon.
 Ensure all temporary DB’s are provided with MS enclosures,
grounding & continuity of earthling.
 EHS MANSOON PLAN

Electrical Safety
 Provide water proof covers over all distribution & sub-
distribution boards.
 Rain protection - raincoat / umbrella, gum-boot for all
electrical personnel.
 Check all the temporary joints and make them waterproof to
the extent possible and never allow any temporary joint in
water.
 Poles installed for over head cabling - make them rigid / more
stable.
 Do not use any Halogen at site during this period.
 Avoid / arrest water leakage in all offices / buildings as this
may cause electrical faults / short-circuit in the electrical
system.
 EHS MANSOON PLAN
Vehicle And Equipment
 Park all construction equipments in a stable ground & at nights.
 Check all the vehicles entering into the site, check thetyre
conditions (the tread grooves should be of minimum 1.5mm in
all the tyres. Look for sidewall cuts in tires, if so, replace them
immediately).
 Ensure proper functioning of the break system and wipers, signal
light, tail lamp and reverse horn are in working condition.
 No matter how well your vehicle is serviced, nothing substitutes
your being alert and careful while driving.
 Wet-weather driving demands gentle use of all the main
controls - steering, clutch, brake and accelerator - and a larger
allowance for errors and emergencies.
 EHS MANSOON PLAN

Vehicle And Equipment

• Carry emergency equipment.

• Things like a flashlight, spanner or ropes may not be required
but it may come in handy during any eventuality.
• First and foremost: slow down! It takes longer to stop or adjust
in wet weather.
• The speed limit during the rains should be 5 km/Hr within the
site premises.
• Leave lots of space between the vehicle and man
Vehicle And Equipment
Inform the drivers about the precautions -
 Do not keep transport vehicles in low level area.
 Never over speed the trucks in rain
 Do not over load the trucks
 Secure all loads in the truck
 Do not move close to the excavated pits
 Do not raise the engine while you notice the tire slip
 Do not drive in unknown water logged areas
 Never drive the Truck, crane & hydra in the bank filled areas.
 Never operate cranes and vehicle in the unleveled area
immediately after the rain.
 The booms of all cranes shall be lowered, if the wind speed
is too high(greater than 25km/hr at nights)
 EHS MANSOON PLAN
While and After the Heavy rain and the storm
 If power lines and poles are down in yard or in the site, always
treat then as if they were energized and dangerous.
 Never try to remove any electrical pole unless you are
authorized to do so. Stay away. Call the electrician and report
the location so that, repairs can be made as soon as possible.
 Never try to help some one trapped by a power line. You
endanger your own safety. Inform concern authority.
 Disconnect computers and other delicate electronic equipment.
Consider attaching surge protectors to such equipment.
 Stay away from metal fencing (metal fences could become
electrified by a downed wire. Be very careful, especially after a
storm).
 Necessary warning signs need to be displayed, near all the
water filled pits
 EHS MANSOON PLAN
While and After the rain and the storm

 Ensure all the water drainages are not choked and free water is
ensured.
• All the lifting operation stopped for windy condition.
• Ensure Safe approaches for cranes, vehicles etc.
• Inspect all scaffolding materials, shuttering material, waste spoil
particular on construction site and shoring daily by the
competent person to avoid any incident on site.
• Ensure the all Excavated pit it is safe to work then allow to
worker to work inside the pit.
 EHS MANSOON PLAN
Height Work

 Regularly Scaffolding Inspection.

 All Fall Protection Devices are Check Regularly.
 Stop the work in heavy rain and high wind Pressure.
 Educate /trained the people prior to start work and ensure
the same regularly.
 EHS MANSOON PLAN

LABOR CAMP MONSOON PRECAUTIONS -

• Ensure regular Sewage collection and disposal at labour
camp and sites to prevent foul smell and health hazard.
• Camp area shall be fenced and security lighting be installed.
• All housing units must be of good quality and condition.
• Ensure and monitor housekeeping, hygienic condition of
labour camp & crèche by camp Boss regularly.
• Accommodation units must be cleaned on a regular basis and
all waste disposed of into segregated waste skips with doors.
• Garbage and waste food collection yard should be set away
from living area.
• Regular fogging & pest control is required to prevent from
epidemic diseases.
• Clear all water drains in and around labour camp. Provide
covering on open drains.
 EHS MANSOON PLAN
• The camp shall have adequate drainage to eliminate monsoon
rains and units shall be elevated to eliminate water ingress.

for effective functioning of ELCB’s.
• All temporary connections must be rooted through ELCB.
• Ensure all wires / cables are not laid on sharp edges OR through a
hole within the G. I. Sheet as to prevent damage to insulation. If
possible route through conduit pipes and support wire / cables by
suitable hook.
• Ensure all wire / cable joints are water and shock proof to prevent
from shock.

Important Health tips: EHS MANSOON PLAN
• Diseases are rampant during the monsoon.
• Guard against monsoon diseases such as influenza or dysentery.
• Make it a point to consult a doctor in case of illness.
• Protect yourself against mosquitoes. Always carry a mosquito
repellent and take care to cover yourself completely at night. Be
alert to warning signs of malaria including fever, headache, severe
chill or muscle pains.
• Contaminated food and water are a monsoon hazard. Eat only
properly cooked food, and wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
Be careful about the water you drink; when in doubt, stick to
bottled mineral water. Also, hot beverages such as coffee and tea
are generally safer than fruit juices, sugarcane juice or buttermilk.
• A good hot water bath is a good practice after a day spent outdoors
in the rain.
 GENERAL MONSOON PRECAUTIONS – EHS MANSOON PLAN
