29. 4. WORKS AT HEIGHT Thoroughly check all fall protection equipment before and after each use for wear and damage, and remove faulty gear from service. Store fall protection gear in a dry, cool area to prevent damage or degradation. It is mandatory to use the safety harness with two hooks or be attached to the lifeline syste ms all the time while at height. Wear safety boots with slip-resistant soles and steel or composite toes to protect against impact and improve grip. Maintain at least two points of contact with the tower and be tied off at all times when climbing or working, even during transitions.

30. Work at height SAFETY RULES Use designated ladders and climbing routes. Each worker will firstly check the safety of each new support and if it is safe he will step and lean on it. The hooks shell be attached above the head, if it is possible, to the different supports, to the points whose safety must be previously checked before attaching to it. It is prohibited to join the hooks one behind the other and put them to the same support. The support shell not be additionally loaded (with material, tools, etc.) if the worker is not sure that the support can withstand that additional load. Do not climb or work during adverse weather conditions, including high winds, lightning, or icy conditions. Ensure no one works at height alone. A second person should always be present on the ground to assist or respond in emergencies.

Always familiarize yourself with the control device as it can change from one crane to another. Make sure that all the lifting elements, where the switches have the speed limits and the indicating devices are in good working order. A crane can be equipped with any or a combination of the following types of: indicators ; Load indicator ; Workspace limit; Anti-collision device and Win motion indicator (visual and audio) Check the crane case to make sure it is in working order. ; Check that the safety switch is in good working order and turns back. There should be no modifications to the fittings.

57. SAFETY Rules - LIFTING Visually check the work environment where you work to ensure that there are no new hazards that could affect the safe use of crane Don't make assumptions. Ask if you are in doubt about the uploading/downloading activity . Do not use the crane if you are unwell. (operator) Do not lift a load if it is on its side. Position the crane directly over the load before lifting to avoid the load swinging .

58. Do not ride on the load or allow others to do this. Do not lift loads over people. Do not pass below suspended loads. Keep communication with every trained personnel involved in the lifting activity before and during the lifting. Use long push-pull ropes or sticks to help control the load. Do not use the crane to pull a stuck or buried object. SAFETY Rules - LIFTING

59. Only trained crane operators and riggers/ signallers are permitted to participate in lifting activities. The lifting area must be fenced off and restricted; no untrained personnel or anyone not involved in the lifting operation should be allowed to enter. Only appropriate machinery, equipment, and tools should be used for lifting operations. All lifting machinery, equipment, and tools must be inspected prior to each use. SAFETY Rules - LIFTING

60. rigging tools

61. Inspect slings and lifting tools for wear, damage, or defects before each use. Ensure that identification tags or labels on slings are legible and intact. Check for fraying, cuts, or broken strands in wire ropes or synthetic slings. Verify that hooks, shackles, and other hardware are free of deformation or cracks. Ensure proper lubrication of moving parts to prevent rust or stiffness. Immediately mark as unusable and remove any damaged or defective sling/tool from service. Regularly perform thorough inspections according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety regulations. Store and handle lifting tools properly. Always verify the safe working load (SWL) of all lifting tools before use, ensuring it is at least twice the weight of the load to be lifted. Rigging tools

62. Damaged/Unsafe Tools Rigging tools

63. SLING iNSPECTION NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

64. Manual handling Assess the load before lifting to ensure it's manageable. Use proper lifting techniques: bend your knees, keep your back straight, and lift with your legs. Avoid twisting or turning while carrying heavy loads. Break down large loads into smaller, manageable parts if possible. Use mechanical aids or seek assistance for heavy or awkward items. Ensure a clear path to avoid tripping hazards during transport. Take regular breaks when performing repetitive lifting tasks.

65. Derricks/ Gin poles

66. 8.Confined spaces Always obtain a permit before entering a confined space. Test the atmosphere for hazardous gases and ensure proper ventilation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including respiratory protection if needed. Have a trained standby person stationed outside the confined space. Ensure a reliable communication system between workers inside and outside the space. Use proper lighting to maintain visibility in confined areas. Never enter a confined space without proper training and emergency rescue plans in place.

67. 9. HOT WORKS (welding) Always maintain a safe distance from combustible materials and structures when conducting hot work. Ensure proper ventilation is in place to prevent the accumulation of hazardous fumes or gases.

68. Abrasive wheels Always inspect abrasive wheels for cracks or defects before use. Ensure the wheel is properly mounted and secured on the machine before starting work. Only trained and authorized personnel should operate abrasive wheel equipment. Always use proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety goggles, face shields, gloves, and hearing protection. Never exceed the maximum operating speed specified for the abrasive wheel. Use the correct wheel for the material being worked on and ensure compatibility with the equipment. Keep bystanders and untrained personnel away from the work area during operations. Avoid applying excessive pressure on the wheel during use, which can cause it to break or malfunction. Ensure the work area is clear of flammable materials to prevent fire hazards. Always allow the wheel to come to a complete stop before handling or inspecting it.

69. 9. eXCAVATIONS The collapse of the sides of the excavation. Materials falling onto people Falls, either people or vehicles. Nearby structures collapsing into the excavation. Electrocution, explosion, gas leak, or flooding, caused by damage to underground services. Flood and drowning: Hazardous gases or lack of oxygen, leading to suffocation or toxic exposure.

70. ZONES OF INFLUENCE

71. Trench boxes or shoring must be used to prevent the excavations from collapsing when needed. Sloping the sides of the excavation to reduce the risk of cave-ins. Materials from the excavation should be stored at a safe distance from the excavation, this will help reduce the risk of them falling onto people. eXCAVATIONS

72. It is safer if vehicles are kept completely out of the excavation area, but if required the use of barriers and stop-blocks should help mitigate that danger. Adding barriers to excavation is an essential precaution to avoid people falling into the excavation. Flooding can be avoided by ensuring that there is appropriate pumping equipment so that any water that seeps into the excavation can be easily pumped out to a safe area. Barriers

73. S ecure ladders, ramps or steps for safe entry and exit in/out of excavated areas must be used. Access/egress

74. Concrete works Always use proper stable platforms with safety rails when accessing or exiting tall foundation columns during formwork or concrete activities in open excavations. It is safer if vehicles are kept completely out of the excavation area, but if required the barriers and stop-blocks must be used to help mitigate that danger. Install protective caps ("mushrooms") on exposed steel reinforcement bars. Flooding can be avoided by ensuring that there is appropriate pumping equipment so that any water that seeps into the excavation can be easily pumped out to a safe area.

75. Concrete BOOM Ensure concrete booms and mixer trucks are positioned at least 4 meters away from the edge of the excavation. Properly install concrete boom pads on stable ground to ensure safe operation.

76. SITE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH RULES DO NOT LITTER!!! COLLECT & DISPOSE GARBAGE PROPERLY COLLECT AND DISPOSE PROPERLY YOUR FOOD REMAININGS, WATER/DRINK BOTTLES DO NOT THROW TO THE GROUND GARBAGE DO NOT BACKFILL ANY GARBAGE KEEP THE WORKSITE AREAS & THE FACILITY AREAS CLEAN & TIDY USE THE PROPER GARBAGE BINS DO NOT EAT IN THE WORK AREAS USE CANTEEN AREAS TO TAKE YOUR BREAK TIME, EAT, DRINK WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE EAT NO NO

77. HOUSEKEEPING Keep walkways and exits clear of obstacles at all times. Regularly clean spills immediately to prevent slips and trips. Store tools and equipment in designated areas after use. Dispose of waste materials properly and promptly. Maintain proper lighting to enhance visibility in all areas. Organize materials to prevent clutter and improve efficiency. Conduct regular inspections to identify and address hazards. Encourage a culture of cleanliness among all employees. A tidy up only takes a minute, an injury takes a second, but a hospital stay seems like forever!

78. HOUSEKEEPING

79. OIL and fuel SPILLAGES . I mmediately report any oil/fuel spill to the designated authority. Contain the spill using absorbent materials or barriers to prevent spread. Use absorbent pads or granules to clean up the spill effectively. Dispose of contaminated materials according to local regulations. Ensure that spill kits are easily accessible and regularly maintained. Keep work areas well-ventilated during cleanup
