Common use of Project Specific Requirements Clause in Contracts

Project Specific Requirements. The following is a list of Baseline Risk Assessment and project specific health and safety specifications prepared by the Client in terms of Construction Regulation 5(1)(a) and 5(1)(f). i) Baseline Risk Assessment for Design Phase • Working in elevated positions (e.g., Bridge Inspections) • Working over water environments (e.g., Bridge Inspections) • Excavation – locating existing underground services, digging test pits • Manual handling – setting up surveying equipment • Ergonomic risks • High & Low voltage power lines – overhead & underground • Work in close proximity to railway lines • Uneven ground surfaces • Personal safety & security risks • Traffic Control (Ensure Correct Signage at Correct Distances) as per our Standard Details • Exposure to noise • Working in close proximity to traffic • Working with hot materials • Radioactive equipment • Hazardous Chemical Substances • Flammable Materials • Driving to and from site • Biological risks e.g., bees, snakes, spiders, etc. • Hazardous Biological Agents • Environmental risks - Bad weather conditions, o rain, o lightning, o wind, - poor visibility - heat exposure – dehydration - cold environment ii) Baseline Risk Assessment for Supervision Phase • Clearing and grubbing of the area/site • Site establishment including: - Office(s) - Secure/safe storage for materials, plant and equipment - Ablutions - Sheltered eating area - Maintenance workshop - Vehicle access to the site - Temporary fuel storage, where applicable - Laboratory establishment, where applicable (Client responsibility) • Location of existing services, e.g., Telecommunications, electrical supply and similar • Installation and maintenance of temporary construction electrical supply, lighting and equipment • Adjacent land uses/surrounding property exposures • Boundary and access control/public liability exposures (NB: The Client is also re- sponsible for the OH&S of non-employees affected by his/her work activities) • Health risks arising from neighbouring as well as own activities and from the environment, e.g., threats by dogs, bees, snakes, lightning, etc. • Exposure to a water environment • Exposure to noise • Exposure to vibration • Protection against dehydration and heat exhaustion • Protection from wet and cold conditions • Hazardous Biological Agents that could lead to epidemics and pandemics • Dealing with HIV/Aids and other diseases such as silicosis or asbestosis, where applic- able • Use of portable electrical equipment including: - Angle grinder - Electrical drilling machine - Circular saw - Generator • Excavations including: - Ground/soil conditions - Trenching - Shoring - Drainage of trenches • Loading and off-loading of trucks • Aggregate/sand and other materials delivery • Manual and mechanical handling • Lifting and lowering operations • Driving and operation of construction vehicles and mobile plant including: - Trenching machine - Excavator - Bomag roller - Plate compactor - Front end loader - Mobile cranes and the ancillary lifting tackle - Grader - Parking of vehicles and mobile plant - Towing of vehicles and mobile plant • Use and storage of flammable liquids and other hazardous substances, e.g. petrol, diesel, cement, asphalt, bituminous materials and similar • Layering and bedding • Installation of pipes in trenches • Pressure testing of pipelines • Backfilling of trenches • Protection against flooding • Gabion work • Use of explosives • Protection from overhead power lines (High and low) • Work adjacent or in proximity of railway lines • Work adjacent or in proximity of traffic • Working at heights • Working in confined spaces – tunnelling • Formwork and support work (temporary works) including scaffolding • Demolition work, where applicable • Bulk mixing plant, where applicable • Environmental impacts such as pollution of water, air or soil
