ENVIORNMENTAL CONTROL PROCEDURE
Before wastes can be disposed off appropriately, these first need be categorised
and segregated. This in practice is often made difficult due to wide range of solid,
chemical and effluent waste that need be segregated, stored and disposed off. Site
Manager is responsible for allocation of a trained official to guide and control
classification, storage, handling, transport and disposal of wastes.
In table 2 over, storage and disposal methods for reusable / recyclable materials,
domestic waste, nonhazardous construction waste, hazardous waste, waste water
and sanitary waste are described.
ENVIORNMENTAL CONTROL PROCEDURE

which run through a PVC pressure line to a treatment
system located adjacent to camp.
• Treatment system shall be based upon use of an

capacity. All treated effluent shall gravitate to a
chlorine contact tank, where chlorination done to
achieve a chlorine residual of 0.5 – 1.0 ppm prior to
passing to a designated collection basin located
adjacent to camp.
• Facilities shall be maintained by EPC
CONTRACTOR to minimise interruption.
ENVIORNMENTAL CONTROL PROCEDURE
5.4. Dust and Emissions
Most prevalent construction emission is fugitive dust however emissions of
Carbon mono oxide “CO” and related exhaust gases are likely to be released from
diesel generators and other activities, such as onsite painting, refuelling of
equipment, application of adhesives, waterproofing chemicals and incomplete
combustion of fuel in construction equipment. Note that none of planned activities
shall cause release of hydrogen sulphide gas.
Should problems arise, which result in excessive dust generation onsite, workers
shall be instructed through their HSE Awareness Training to notify their
supervisor to facilitate appropriate response.
5.5. Traffic
Following traffic controls shall apply:
• Construction area access shall be limited to construction vehicles only.
• Nonessential vehicles parking on site shall be restricted to designate areas.
• Site access shall be limited through established roadways. Traffic shall be
routed to site avoiding residential areas as far as, is practicable.
• The majority of construction vehicles shall be restricted to designate parking
areas. Parking regulations shall be established and enforced.
• All road surfaces shall be maintained in safe and passable conditions.
• Vehicle washing facilities shall be provided onsite.
