  1. HEAT STRESS

PURPOSE:

SPIG is committed to protecting the health and safety of all personnel involved in its activities as an internal part of its business management. Heat stress is a major health hazard especially in summer season, where climate is hot and humid with a temperature rising up to 45-degree centigrade and relative humidity reaching up to 70 to 80% in some parts of the country where we operate. This hot and humid climate creates a potentially dangerous situation for those exposed to the heat The company approach to protecting the health of its personnel in such areas is to provide a safe working environment by minimizing their exposure to such hot and humid conditions and its adverse health effects. In order to achieve this objective, we follow the basic occupational health and industrial hygiene principle i.e Recognition, Evaluation and Control.

Scope:

COMPANY NAME Heat prevention and management guidelines addresses heat stress identification, evaluation and control to implement to reduce various effects of heat stress-ranging from heat cramps, heat syncope, heat exhaustion and heatstroke among the workers.

Prevention Guidelines:

The primary hazard to be controlled is a heat-related illness. There are three primary illnesses associated with excess heat strain on the body that this document will address. They are heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. When the human body cannot maintain the internal body temperature or electrolyte balance, illness can develop from the heat cramps to heat exhaustion and finally to heatstroke. There are two major factors affecting body temperature when working in hot environments.

Establish a complete heat illness prevention program, provide training about the hazards leading to heat stress and how to prevent them, provide a lot of cool water to workers close to the work area, at least one pint of water per hour is needed.

Modify work schedules and arrange frequent rest periods with water breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas, gradually increase workloads and allow more frequent breaks for workers new to the heat or those that have been away from work to adapt to working in the heat (acclimatization), Designate a responsible person to monitor conditions and protect workers who are at risk of heat stress, consider protective clothing that provides cooling.

  1. HOISTING AND LIFTING PROCEDURES

Any equipment’s use for hoisting works shall be certified by the third-party inspector prior to its full operations. Any types of lifting equipment’s must be operated by the certified and competent personnel in compliance to the instructions provided by the manual procedures. All works involving the use of crane should be planned and rigging study should be carried out to ensure that.

(d) Radius of rotation while lifting the load, inclination of boom to the vertical

(e) Outrigger blocked/free

(f) The safe working load is generally tabulated in the load chart of the crane. Sometimes crane are de-rated due to defects in welding, bend in angle, bracings and condition of clutch, brakes etc

(g) The load is the total load hung from the rope sheaves of the boom including the weight of hook block, ropes/sling etc

17. HOUSEKEEPING PLAN
