3.7.3 Penalties for Delays in Block Release
CT-JV shall pay a penalty if any block cannot be withdrawn in time. Such penalty will be
calculated as follows:
Subject to the threshold period of delay as specified hereinafter, CT-JV shall be liable to pay as
a penalty, the amount of BOT 1500 per minute of delay to scheduled train operation which occurs
at the end of a work block or other work period on the track or bridges. However, if the CT-JV is
able to clear the block before a delay of 10 (ten) minutes has occurred, then no such penalty shall
be imposed. If, however, the delay extends beyond the threshold period of 10 (ten) minutes, then
the CT-JV shall be liable to pay for the entire duration of delay at the aforesaid rate of BOT 1500
per minute or part thereof.
3.7.4 Extended Interface Block
If it becomes absolutely necessary to block the existing line for a longer duration, the CT-JV must
construct a diversion line to keep train services operational. Such diversions must be constructed
and operated following BR standards and safety regulations. The CT-JV shall submit a proposal
for each such diversion, which shall include a Method Statement setting out the reasons
for the diversion, drawings showing the details of the diversion, a description of the type of

JV must not block train movements and shall make sure that at least one track is available for
passing of trains in an uninterrupted manner.
For stations provided with signaling, interlocking and block working, arrangements to meet the
safety requirements of single line operation of train services shall be made. When yard
modifications are carried out for conversion to double line layout, safety signaling and block
control system will become inoperative. Train movement over the station shall have to be
managed by manual methods. Block operation with stations on both sides shall also revert to
manual methods. Such manual operation, in addition to causing delay to train movement, will
introduce significant safety risks. This period should, therefore, be minimized and the Work
Programme shall be prepared to introduce the new signaling system for double line operation
immediately after the yard works are completed. The new system shall be tested and made
operational within one month from the date that the station signaling becomes inoperative due to
these yards remodeling works.

CT-JV shall provide a Risk Assessment and Management program in all major activities, and it
shall be attached in the Work Method Statements and submitted to the Employer and the
Engineer prior to the commencement of construction works. The following matters shall be
included in the Risk Assessment and Management program:
 Identifications of Hazards
 Hazard Effect
 Risk Ranking
 Mitigation Measures
 Recovery Measures
Reference: Appendix - HSP 06 - Risk Assessment and Management Program.
4.7.3 Definitions
Hazard – Source or situation with a potential for harm in terms of injury or ill health, damage to
property, workforce, environment etc.
Hazard Identification Risk – Process of recognizing that a hazard exists and defining its
characteristics to provide labor, equipment, facilities or material to be used at the site.
Combination of the likelihood and consequence(s) of a hazardous event occurring.
49 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Risk Assessment – Overall process of estimating the magnitude of risk and deciding whether or
not the risk is tolerable.
Safety – Freedom from unacceptable risk of harm.
Residual Risk – Risk that have been reduced to a level that can be endured by the organization
having regard to its legal obligations and its own safety policy.
4.7.4 Risk Assessment Team
A risk assessment team will be formed, headed by the Project Manager to ensure all hazards are
identified and mitigated. Members of the risk assessment team will be CT-JV personnel who are
qualified, experienced, knowledgeable and competent in undertaking the risk assessment.
Responsibilities
Project Manager
The Project Manager will have the following delegated powers for risks management, which will
be exercised subject to any instructions, restrictions or requirements from time to time directed
to or imposed upon by him but not limited to the following:
 Designate, assign or appoint a competent person to lead a team of personnel (including
Sub-Contractors/suppliers) associated with the site activities to conduct risk assessment;
 Ensure that the risk control measures are implemented without undue delay after the
completion of risk assessment;

risks to workers;
 Keep a written description of the safe work procedures and produce this for inspection
when requested.
50 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Safety Manager
Facilitate the hazard identification and risk management sessions for the preparation of safety
submission;
 In-charge of the preparation and submission of safety submissions;

 Monitor and update the hazard register to ensure all risks identified are mitigated and
closed;
 Recommend appropriate risk control measures to reduce or eliminate identified risks;
 Prepare a record of the risk assessment for the project manager after completion of the
assessment;
 He may also act as the team leader of the risk assessment team.
Team Members
Participate in the risk assessment or assist in conducting the risk assessment;
 Adhere to the safe work procedures established to reduce any safety and health risks
at the workplace;
 Inform their supervisors of any shortcomings in the safe work procedures or risks control
measures.
4.7.5 Risk Management
The purpose of risk management is to identify hazards, eliminate or control them and mitigate
the residual risk. The process combines management oversight and engineering analyses to
provide a comprehensive, systematic approach to managing the system risks.
4.7.6 Risk Assessment Process
In addition to control measures proposed by the Employer, the experience of individual risk
assessment team members, industry experience and codes of practice, past incidents and
accidents records, publications on health and safety and knowledge of processes/activities will
serve as the baseline information in the assumption of the control measures for the risk
evaluation.
All risk assessments conducted are to be approved by the Project Manager:
51 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
4.7.7 Hazard Identification
Generally, the hazard identification process can be aided by searching for hazards from the
following (non-exhaustive) types of hazard:
1) Falling from height
2) Struck by falling objects
3) Physical work load
4) Gravitational hazards
5) Machinery and tools hazards
6) Compressed fluid hazards
7) Vehicle and mobile equipment hazards
8) Electrical hazards
9) Noise and vibration hazards
10) Chemical hazards
11) Temperature/heat hazards
12) Biological hazards
13) Work related hazards
14) Housekeeping
15) Illumination hazards
A hazard poses a continual negative threat or risk of an accident/effect on health and the only
practical way of preventing accidents and effects on health is to remove or at least effectively
control the hazards. Workplace hazards are cause by:
1) Unsafe acts – acts that deviate from the specified or generally accepted safe way of
performing a task. Such acts increase the likelihood of an accident, occupational ill
health or disease;
2) Unsafe acts of omission – failures to conform to the requirement of the activity in a
manner that increases the likelihood of an accident, occupational ill health and disease;
3) Unsafe conditions – inadequacies in either the situation or the system of work. It can be
manifested in any aspect of the working environment.
4.7.8 Risk Evaluation
Having identified the hazards, it is necessary to attempt to assess the risk index of each hazard
identified in order to provide a basis to recommend and prioritize preventive actions. High risk
activities require more stringent control measures to mitigate the risks.
52 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
The risk management facilitator will assess the risk indices for all the identified hazards.
4.7.9 Control Measures
Appropriate control measures consistent with the risk index will be developed for all hazards
identified to eliminate or reduce risks. The existing safeguards will first be identified and
evaluated as to whether these are adequate to mitigate the risk. If these are not considered
adequate, additional safeguards or control measures are then considered.
These controls are based on the following hierarchy of control:
1) Engineering design
2) Engineering redesign
3) Substitution
4) Administration
5) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Engineering design is the most preferred option with PPE being the last resort.
Some examples maybe:
1) Guarding
2) Isolation procedures
3) Method statements or other work procedures
4) Policies
5) Work practices
6) Training
7) This list is not conclusive and there are many other controls that could exists.
4.7.10 Preliminary Risk Assessment
The Project Manager and Safety Manager, together with risk assessment team, will carry out an
initial risk assessment at the pre-construction phase to identify the health, safety and
environmental hazards and risks levels.
Solutions to address the key safety, health and environmental risks identified are incorporated
into the final engineering procedures, if possible. Otherwise, control measures, safe work
practices and procedures are developed to reduce the risk levels for the identified hazardous
works/activities. The results of hazards identification, assessment and control measures are
attached in the Project Management Plan.
53 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Critical information is communicated to all members of the project team including Sub-contractors
before commencement of the construction work. This is to ensure that they are fully aware of the
potential work hazards and safe work procedures to prevent injuries and damages during the
construction phase.
Sub-contractors are to review the acceptability of the risk levels and allocate the necessary
resources to control these identified hazards. This will be reflected in their health and safety plan
which is to be submitted to CT- JV for approval during the project mobilization phase.
4.7.11 Risk Rating
Risk rating is the product or combination of probability of occurrence, current control measures,
severity of consequences and factor of legal compliance. High risk activities mean high priority
for mitigation and require more stringent control measures.
a) Probability of Occurrence (1 ~ 3)
1. Low Probability
2. Medium Probability
3. High Probability
b) Current Control Measures
1. Require low level of control
2. Require medium level of control
3. Require high level of control
c) Severity of Consequences
1. Negligible – Hazard will not result in serious injury or illness; remote possibility of
damage beyond minor first aide case.
2. Marginal – Hazard can cause illness, injury or equipment damage, but the result
would not be expected to be serious.
3. Critical – Hazard can result illness, severe injury, property and equipment damage.
4. Catastrophic – Imminent danger exists, hazard capable of causing death and
illness on a wide scale.
d) Factor of Legal Compliance
1. Low Factor
2. Medium Factor
3. High Factor
e) Risk Rating
1. LOW: product of the above (a ~ d) from 4 to 12 points
54 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
2. MEDIUM: product of the above (a ~ d) from 16 to 24 points

3. HIGH: product of the above (a ~ d) 36 points and up.
4.7.12 Comprehensive Risk Assessment
Routine Activities
The risk assessment team will assess all hazardous activities before work is permitted to
commence. Examples of hazardous routine activities are:
1) Assembling and dismantling of each type of lifting machine, e.g. cranes;

2) Lifting machine operating within congested areas;
3) Heavy lifting;
4) Work at height;
5) Work in confined spaces;
6) Excavation works;
7) Construction of temporary structures, e.g. formworks or workers access;
8) Working near, over or below an existing carriageway, transit system, major
services or properties;
9) Work likely to generate flammable or explosive mixtures, e.g. spray painting
(flammable solvents);
10) Work on unguarded live equipment, unprotected energized cables or equipment
or work on live electrical equipment outside accepted safe work practice.
CT-JV shall develop and identify the various types of Hazards and Emergency Measures:
o an appreciation of the industrial health hazards, and proposals for minimization of the risks
associated with such hazards, and
o the means by which all hazards associated with working on, adjacent to and above tidal
water shall be accommodated including but not limited to details of proposed rescue boats,
safety nets, warning and navigation signs/lights, search procedures, lifesaving equipment,
watching for persons entering the water and any other appropriate equipment or
procedure.
Non-Routine Activities
A system will be set up to identify other hazardous work activities and for which there is adequate
control measures, and subject these to hazard analysis. This can be achieved through the daily
coordination meetings where proposed works are routinely reviewed.
55 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
4.7.13 Implementation and Monitoring
When the risk assessment for an activity is completed, the Project Manager will ensure that
control measures recommended, are implemented during the execution of the work by assigning
responsibilities to the appropriate section managers and site engineers.
Site inspection and hazard identification is carried out as works proceed to assess compliance
with the control measures and their effectiveness. Site inspections are conducted by project team
members by employing a mix of the following method:
Workplace Inspection
Workplace inspection are used to identify hazards and promote remedial actions. Persons
involved in the workplace inspection include the Project Manager, Safety Manager, Construction
Manager, Section Managers, Site Engineers, Safety and Health Committee Members, etc.
Safety and Health Inspections
A routine scheduled inspection of a unit of department that may be carried out by someone from
within that unit or department or by safety and health committee members. The inspection may
check maintenance standards, employee’s involvement, safe work practices, adherence to safe
work procedure, etc. Inspections should result in more immediate actions than the wide-reaching
approach taken by audit and hazard analysis.
Safety Committee Inspections
A monthly statutory safety inspection is to be carried out by the committee members. The purpose
is to identify any hazards that are prejudicial to the health and safety of the workers and to
recommend control measures for implementation.
Safety Sampling
To check on one specific pre-selected safety aspect. The safety sample chosen could be
concerned with plant and equipment, method of operations etc. Safety samples should be carried
out regularly but with a random selection of the subject each time.
Safety Audits
Subject each area of the work site to a systematic critical examination with the objective of
minimizing loss. Every component of the total system is examined, e.g., policy, accident reporting,
emergency plans, personal protection standards, records etc. Formal reports and action plans
are then developed, implemented and monitored.
56 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Review
The Project Manager, together with the risk management facilitator and risk assessment team,
will review the existing control measures, discuss with the project team members and improve
upon on a monthly basis or in an interval as decided by the Project Manager.
The Project Manager considers the results of the risk assessments and the effects of the control
measures when setting the health and safety objectives and formulating the management
programs.
Risk Assessment and Management are attached in Appendix-HSP-06.
Safety Housekeeping, Sanitation and Hygiene Plan (HSHP)
Housekeeping is significant aspect of daily life style and in particularly at any construction sites.
The clean and tidy conditions of the construction site and all associated areas shall be ensured
to minimize the potential accidents and incidents in workplace (e.g. trips, slips, fires and spills),
and to avoid blockage of important emergency access.
CT-JV shall guarantee that construction waste both hazardous and non-hazardous shall be
properly collected and disposed daily to appropriate waste collection bins at the end of each
day/shift. Flammable and combustible materials shall be properly stored in appropriate containers
located in designated storage area. Spillages of oil, chemical, solvent or any other hazardous
waste shall be clean up immediately and reported to the competent personnel.
CT-JV shall develop and establish Housekeeping, Sanitation and Hygiene Plan (HSHP) to
minimize any safety and health hazards associated with ineffective housekeeping, sanitation and
hygiene measures during construction. This Plan applies to all construction activities and areas,
including the construction site, workshops, warehouses, offices, camps, tank farm, roads and
common areas.
CT-JV shall check that this Housekeeping, Sanitation and Hygiene Plan (HSHP) shall be
thoroughly communicated to all relevant personnel during all construction phases of the Project,
and this Plan is strictly observed and complied with by the CT-JV and our employees to ensure
compliance with applicable laws, legislation, regulations and requirements of Bangladesh.
This Plan includes, but is not limited to, the following issues:
57 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
 General Housekeeping and Site Cleanliness;

 Dust Control;
 Waste Management;
 Toilet and Washing Facilities;
 Sewage Treatment;
 Water Supply;
 Pest Management;
 Rest Areas
4.8.3 Daily Safety Housekeeping Cycle
Cleaning of work places and checking of safety facilities at the end of the day on daily basis
before leaving the site, shall be performed by all workers and checked by their Section
Managers/Site Engineers.
The night shift work following the earlier day work requires the concluded work done schedule
with the daily safety duties carried out. Tool Box meetings or discussion group meetings shall be
held before the start of the night shift work so that the jobs to be carried out are instructed
accordingly.
4.8.4 Weekly Safety Housekeeping Cycle
Before the start of the work on each Saturday morning, the safety information of the previous
week carried out and the activities with the planned schedule for the current week shall be
informed to all staff and workers. Cleaning of work places by all workers shall be carried out after
the group discussion on Saturday morning before the start of that day’s work.
4.8.5 Monthly Safety Housekeeping Patrol/Cycle
Monthly Safety Patrol attended by representatives of CT-JV and The Engineer shall be carried
out with reports prepared by the Safety Manager from these patrols. These reports shall be issued
to all attendees at the Safety Patrols and also to discuss any issues at the Daily Meeting for
follow-up actions. The monthly patrol shall be held at end of each month as part of the monthly
schedule meeting whereby discussion on suggestions for any site safety/work schedule relating
to the patrol can be taken instruction for the following month.
58 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
4.8.6 Accommodation and Hygiene
CT-JV will provide and maintain, in a clean and sanitary condition, living accommodation for those
employed by him and his Sub-contractors of all tiers on the works. Each building for living
accommodation shall be provided with adequate lights, water supply and sanitary facilities and
be properly furnished. CT-JV will make his own arrangement for any water required for execution
of work as well as for drinking purposes and nothing will be paid extra for the same.
Working at Height Safety Plan (WAHSP)
4.9.3 Person Eligible for Working at Height
Only those persons who have received formal training and instruction shall work on temporary
structures or means of access such as ladders, scaffolding and power operated mobile work
platforms at heights above 2 meters.
4.9.4 Safety Nets and Soft-Landing Systems
The personnel safety net is designed and constructed to minimize fall-arrest injuries sustained in
the course of normal use when installed in accordance to these instructions. The nets shall be
installed below the work area and as close as practical, but not lower than 1m. They shall be
hung with sufficient clearance to prevent contact with any surface below the safety net during full
impact load, which is typically twice the shortest dimension of the net.
Mounting brackets for the net arms must be secured to a suitable working surface, and installation
of all support cabling must follow the instructions. No substitute of material is acceptable. Any
damaged netting, support arms, cabling or fittings must be reported to the work site supervisor
immediately.
Safety net shall be installed on marine construction platforms where the height is above 5m to
the river surface, full coverage of safety net is needed during construction of platforms; for viaduct
on land safety net shall cover most of the bottom vicinity of pier caps.
Safety net systems shall be inspected by a safety inspector after installation and a handover
certificate prepared to confirm their safety. They should then be inspected on a weekly basis to
ensure they are still fixed correctly and will arrest a fall. When a person falls into a net, the material
deforms as it absorbs the load and it is therefore essential to provide adequate clearance below
the net to allow deformation to occur without the person striking the ground or another object.
59 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
When a fall system has arrested the fall arrest system is removed from service and inspected by
qualified person and is repaired, before it is reused, to the original manufacturers’ specification,
where an inspection reveals that a component of the system is defective.
4.9.5 Safety Harnesses
If work at height cannot be avoided, putting measures in place to

prevent falls shall always be the first consideration. If falls cannot be
prevented by using work equipment that protects all those at risk, make
sure everyone who uses a harness knows how to check, wear and
adjust it before use and how to connect themselves to the structure or
anchor point as appropriate. Safety harnesses must only be used if
there are no other reasonable or practical options that would provide
adequate fall protection. Training and good equipment is essential.
Harness systems can only be used if there are secure anchor points in suitable positions. The
worker’s harness needs to be attached to an anchor point via a single or double lanyard and
connector. Best practice is to have the anchor point as high as possible (above the head) to
reduce the fall distance.
60 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
It is important to inspect personal fall protection equipment on an ongoing basis to ensure safety.
At minimum this involves inspection before use on each work shift, and after each use to arrest
a fall. It is also recommended to inspect equipment just before each use if not already covered
by one of the other inspection scenarios. Such inspections are only one aspect of the overall
review and monitoring of conditions and procedures for the performance of stunts.
Inspections must be done in accordance with manufacturer instructions, if available, and in

conformity with any standards which apply to the equipment. Inspections should cover at least
the following items:
 With harnesses, check on aspects that include the following: Integrity of stitching
throughout the harness, on both outer and inner surfaces;
 Signs of deformation, bunching, or deterioration of pick points on the harness;
 Signs of contact with chemicals;
 Signs of any part of the harness being cut, stretched, frayed, or otherwise damaged;
 Integrity of shackles and straps on the harness;
61 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Harnesses should be removed from service in circumstances such as the following:
 Any part of the harness, including stitching, has been cut, stretched, frayed or otherwise
damaged
 The harness has been exposed to temperatures above 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), or
other temperature specified by the manufacturer. Note: The specified temperature is just
below the boiling point of water.
62 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
63 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
 The harness has been exposed to chemicals (e.g. solvents, acids, alkalis) that may affect
the integrity of the harness
 Any part of the harness has received a shock-load in excess of 1000 pounds (4.5 kilo
newton’s), or another maximum shock load specified by the manufacturer. Note: a fall
arrest system designed to meet the 4G peak arrest criterion in the alternative standard in
this guideline is not likely to experience a shock load exceeding 1000 pounds, except if a
worker's weight exceeds 250 pounds (113 kg). Further, if the system
 Includes a personal energy absorber (PEA), a person should not experience a peak arrest
force exceeding the criterion unless the PEA fully deploys so that the lanyard extends
fully and there is in an abrupt stop. Most PEAs deploy at an average force of 630 - 810
pounds (2.8 to 3.6 kN).
 The age of the harness exceeds manufacturer specifications. For example, one supplier
has specified a maximum 2 years of use beyond the date of manufacture. Note: If a
harness exceeds a specified use life, as an alternative to removal from service, the user
may wish to contact the manufacturer to see if the harness could be submitted for possible
recertification.
 Manufacturer instructions or standards to which the equipment is manufactured would
otherwise require removal.

When loading railway cars, what is important to know?
 Cross railway track on a diagonal.

 Set handbrakes, wheel blocks and derailer before entering a
railway car.
 Do not park a forklift within three meters of railway tracks.
 Do not open railway car doors with forklift forks.
Important points of a periodical (six months) fork inspection:
 Check fork blades for wear. Forks are constantly subjected to abrasion by concrete floors,
steel shelving, etc. This abrasion can reduce the thickness of a fork until it cannot lift loads
up to the designed capacity.
 Check for distortion. Forks can be bent out of shape. Depending on distortion, some forks
can be straightened. The fork manufacturer is best qualified to correct this. Your local
forklift supplier can make the arrangements.
 Check for cracks in heel and hanger. Cracks may appear on forks where attachments are
welded on or in the inside radius of the bend area. Periodic inspection using a magnetic
particle or dye penetrant test can detect cracks. Approved grinding methods may grind
out and polish these blemishes, depending on the depth of the crack. Contact your forklift
supplier or the manufacturer for additional information.
 Replace, when necessary, with good quality forks. When ordering or reordering forks,
make sure you are getting high quality forks that will do your lifting jobs safely. Insist on
forged forks or ones with an upset heel.
 Use the proper forks. Custom-designed forks may be needed for:
 unusual lifting conditions

 spark-free areas
 high heat furnace areas
 special object lifting
Excavation Safety Plan (ESP)
Excavation is an essential operation of the construction process. In the process of carrying out
an excavation operation, it is often necessary to assess the ground condition when determining
the type of shoring necessary as well as the detection of buried services to prevent injury to
person and damage to services.
Specific Excavation Safety Plan (ESP) shall be developed at each work area to ensure that its
individual safety requirements are addressed. The plan shall be considered in the preparation of
work method statements and shall be approved by the Engineer prior to execution.
This excavation safe operating plan outlines the required safety and prevention measures
necessary in the performance of an excavation operation. The following aspects of safety and
prevention measures shall be included in the plan:

Site Traffic and Vehicles
4.28.3 Vehicles in Operation
CT-JV shall limit the number of vehicles on site:
 Provide car and van parking for the workforce

and visitors away from the work area and
strictly control parking within the work area;
 Use gates or barriers etc. to control entry into
the work area and display the procedure for
obtaining entry (e.g. a mobile phone contact
number);
 Plan the location of stores/goods receiving
areas carefully to reduce any need for
delivery vehicles to travel through site. It’s necessary to relocate those areas as the site
progresses. The risks from working plant must be controlled:
 Protect any temporary structures, such as scaffolds or false work, which might be damaged
and made unsafe if struck by a vehicle;
 Protect any excavations and alongside any areas of water if vehicles may approach close
by;
 Take precautions, such as stop blocks, where vehicles tip materials into excavations;
 Make sure vehicles are not overloaded as it may obstruct the drivers view and they may
become unstable, difficult to steer or the brakes may be inadequate to stop the vehicle;
 Segregate the area around plant that slews (e.g. 360° excavators and mobile cranes). Do
not rely on the driver using mirrors, cameras etc. to check that the slewing area is clear, as
their attention will typically be concentrated on the machine boom or jib;
108 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
 If slewing plant is being used in a confined area where there is a risk of workers being
trapped against adjacent obstructions (i.e. less than 0.5 m clearance), consider using a
different type of machine that has zero or minimal tail swing.
 If alternative machines are not practicable, then secure fencing should be used to segregate
the area and prevent access into the danger zone. Many workers, including drivers, are
injured when vehicles unintentionally move:
 Park vehicles on level ground. Avoid parking or stopping any vehicle on a slope, handbrake
malfunctions are a common contributor to run-away accidents;
 Certain types of construction plant can drive up slopes that are steeper than the vehicles
normal handbrake can hold them on – check safe slopes with the vehicle supplier; and
 Turn off the engine before leaving a vehicle. There have been numerous incidents where
drivers have accidentally operated control levers while climbing in or out of the vehicle.
Leaving the engine running also encourages unauthorized use.
 A blind spot (or blind area) is the area around a vehicle or piece of construction equipment
that is not visible to the operator, either by direct line-of-sight or indirectly by use of internal
and external mirrors. If there are blind spots remaining around a machine, decide whether
any further action is required. Consider: What blind spots remain (including any created by
typical loads);
 The ways in which the machine can move and the position of any danger zones caused by
those movements; and
 Whether pedestrians, vulnerable structures, and anything that might cause the vehicle to
overturn are effectively prevented from being in any danger zone that the driver cannot see.
 If further action to control the risks is necessary, review the site layout and management
arrangements for avoiding such risks. If the risk cannot be removed by site changes,
consider fitting operable automatic reverse signal alarm audible at least 15 feet from the
rear of the vehicle or using a properly trained signaler/flagman to assist the driver.
 Make sure drivers are aware of the areas of limited visibility. Warn other workers as part of
their induction.
 Keep cab windows and any vision aids clean.
4.28.4 Inspection and Maintenance
Construction vehicles work in harsh environments and require effective maintenance. A program
of daily visual checks, regular inspections and servicing schedules should be established
according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the risks associated with the use of each vehicle.
109 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Plant hire companies should provide information with all plant and equipment they supply, to
enable it to be used and maintained safely. Vehicles should have a maintenance log to help
manage and record maintenance operations.
Drivers will be encouraged to report defects or problems. Reported problems should be put right
quickly and if they are safety critical, the machine should be taken out of use until they are
repaired.
Planned inspection and maintenance needs to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and is likely
to include, where appropriate:
 Braking systems, including the handbrake;

 Seat belts;
 Tires, including condition and pressures;
 Steering;
 Windows, windscreen washers and wipers;
 Mirrors, CCTV, and other vision aids;
 Safety devices such as interlocks or isolation devices;
 Warning signals;
 Driver protection, e.g. roll over protective structures (ROPS) and falling object protective
structures (FOPS);
 Lights and indicators;
 Functional checks on controls;
 Correct location of guards and panels;
 Fire-fighting equipment.

HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation (Sun Exposure)
Health effects regarding UV radiation are confined to the skin and eyes. Overexposure can result
in many skin conditions, including erythema (redness or sunburn), photo-allergy (skin rash),
photo-toxicity (extreme sunburn acquired during short exposures to UV radiation while on certain
medications), premature skin aging, and numerous types of skin cancer.
Acute overexposure of UV radiation to the eyes may lead to photo-keratitis (inflammation of the
cornea), also known as snow blindness. Symptoms include redness of the eyes and a gritty
feeling, which progresses to pain and an inability to tolerate any kind of light. This condition can
also occur when working in or around water and other UV radiation reflectors. In addition, long-
term exposure to sunlight is thought to cause cataracts or clouding of the lens of the eye.
4.30.3 Limit Exposure Time
 Rotate staff so the same personnel are not exposed all of the time.
 Limit exposure time when UV radiation is at peak levels (approximately 2 hours before
and after the sun is at its highest point in the sky).
 Avoid exposure to the sun or take extra precautions when the UV index rating is high.
4.30.4 Provide Shade
 Take lunch and breaks in shaded areas.

 Create shade or shelter through the use of umbrellas, tents, and canopies.
 Use fabrics such as canvas, sailcloth, awning material and synthetic shade cloth that
create good UV radiation protection.
 Check the UV protection of the materials before buying them. Seek protection levels of
95 percent or greater and check the protection levels for different colors.
4.30.5 Clothing
 Reduce UV radiation damage by wearing proper clothing; for example, long sleeved shirts
with collars, and long pants. The fabric should be closely woven and should not let light
through.
 Head protection should be worn to protect the face, ears, and neck. Wide-brimmed hats
with a neck flap or “Foreign Legion” style caps offer added protection.
 Wear UV-protective sunglasses or safety glasses. These should fit closely to the face.
112 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
 Wrap-around style glasses provide the best protection.
4.30.6 Sunscreen
 Apply sunscreen generously to all exposed skin surfaces at least 20 minutes before
exposure, allowing time for it to adhere to the skin.
 Re-apply sunscreen at least every 2 hours, and more frequently when sweating or
performing activities where sunscreen may be wiped off.
 Choose a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF). Most dermatologists
advocate SPF 30 or higher for significant sun exposure.
 Select waterproof sunscreens for use in or near water, and by those who perspire
sufficiently to wash off non-waterproof products.
 Check for expiration dates, because most sunscreens are only good for about 3 years.
Store in a cool place out of the sun.
 Remember that no sunscreen provides 100% protection against UV radiation. Other
precautions must be taken to avoid overexposure.
4.30.7 Heat Stress Prevention
Physical fitness influences a person's ability to perform work under heat loads. At a given level
of work, the more fit a person is, the less the physiological strain, the lower the heart rate, the
lower the body temperature (indicates less retrained body heat—a rise in internal temperature
precipitates heat injury), and the more efficient the sweating mechanism.
Acclimatization is the degree to which a worker's body has physiologically adjusted or

acclimatized to working under hot conditions. Acclimatization affects their ability to do work.
Acclimatized individuals sweat sooner and more profusely than those who are not acclimatized
individuals. Acclimatization occurs gradually over 1 to 2 weeks of continuous exposure, but it can
be lost in as little as 3 days in a cooler environment.
Dehydration reduces body water volume. This reduces the body’s sweating capacity and directly
affects its ability to dissipate excess heat. The ability of a body to dissipate heat depends on the
ratio of its surface area to its mass (surface area/weight). Heat dissipation is a function of surface
area, while heat production depends on body mass. Therefore, overweight individuals (those with
a low ratio) are more susceptible to heat-related illnesses because they produce more heat per
unit of surface area than if they were thinner. Monitor these persons carefully if heat stress is
likely.
113 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
When wearing impermeable clothing, the weight of an individual is not as important in

determining the ability to dissipate excess heat because the primary heat dissipation mechanism,
evaporation of sweat, is ineffective.
Precautions
 Acclimate by slowly increasing workloads (e.g., do not begin with extremely demanding
activities).
 Use cooling devices, such as cooling vests, to aid natural body ventilation. These devices
add weight, so their use should be balanced against efficiency.
 Use mobile showers or hose-down facilities to reduce body temperature and cool
protective clothing.
 Conduct field activities in the early morning or evening and rotate shifts of workers, if
possible.
 Avoid direct sun whenever possible, which can decrease physical efficiency and increase
the probability of heat stress. Take regular breaks in a cool, shaded area. Use a wide-
brim hat or an umbrella when working under direct sun for extended periods.
 Provide adequate shelter/shade to protect personnel against radiant heat (sun, flames,
hot metal).
 Maintain good hygiene standards by frequently changing clothing and showering.
 Observe one another for signs of heat stress. Persons who experience signs of heat
syncope, heat rash, or heat cramps should consult the SC to avoid progression of heat
related illness.
Biological Hazard and Controls
4.31.3 Bees and Other Stinging Insects
Bees and other stinging insects may be encountered almost anywhere and may present a serious
hazard, particularly to people who are allergic. Watch for and avoid nests. Keep exposed skin to
a minimum. Carry a kit if you have had allergic reactions in the past and inform your supervisor
and/or buddy. If a stinger is present, remove it carefully with tweezers. Wash and disinfect the
wound, cover it, and apply ice.
114 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
4.31.4 Feral Dogs
Avoid all dogs—both leashed and stray. Do not disturb a dog while it is sleeping, eating, or caring
for puppies. If a dog approaches to sniff you, stay still. An aggressive dog has a tight mouth,
flattened ears, and a direct stare. If threatened by a dog, remain calm, do not scream, and avoid
eye contact. If you say anything, speak calmly and firmly. Do not turn and run, try to stay still until
the dog leaves, or back away slowly until the dog is out of sight or you have reached safety (e.g.,
vehicle). If attacked, retreat to vehicle or attempt to place something between you and the dog.
If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your head and neck
and protect your face. If bitten, immediately scrub the bite site vigorously with soap and water.
Report the incident to the local authorities. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
4.31.5 Mosquito Bites
Due to the recent detection of the Dengue Fever in the southwestern Bangladesh, it is
recommended that preventative measures be taken to reduce the probability of being bitten by
mosquitoes whenever possible. Mosquitoes are believed to be the primary source for exposure
to the dengue virus as well as several other types of encephalitis. The following guidelines should
115 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
be followed to reduce the risk of these concerns for working in areas where mosquitoes are
prevalent.
 Stay indoors at dawn, dusk, and in the early evening.

 Use mosquito net when indoors
 Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever you are outdoors.
 Spray clothing with repellents containing permethrin or DEET since mosquitoes may bite
through thin clothing.
 Apply insect repellent sparingly to exposed skin. An effective repellent will contain 35%
DEET (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide). Repellents may irritate the eyes and mouth, so
avoid applying repellent to the hands.
 Whenever an insecticide or insect repellent is used, be sure to read and follow the
manufacturer's DIRECTIONS FOR USE, as printed on the product. Note: Vitamin B and
"ultrasonic" devices are NOT effective in preventing mosquito bites.
4.31.6 Snakes
Snakes typically are found in underbrush and tall grassy areas. If a snake is encountered, stay
calm and look around; there may be other snakes. Turn around and walk away on the same path
used to approach the area. If a person is bitten by a snake, wash and immobilize the injured area,
keeping it lower than the heart if possible. DO NOT apply ice, cut the wound, or apply a tourniquet.
Try to identify the type of snake: note color, size, patterns, and markings.

12 HIV/AIDS Prevention Programme
GENERAL
AIDS is the late (terminal) stage of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS
is a major public health hazard that will not disappear in the foreseeable future. There were
approximately 36.9 [34.3 – 41.4] million people living with HIV at the end of 2014 with 2.0 [1.9-
2.2] million people becoming newly infected with HIV globally.
HIV/AIDS are mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, blood, and from mother to infant.
Most HIV-positive workers have acquired their HIV infection outside the workplace, by sexual
transmission from an HIV-positive partner/spouse. Needle-prick injuries by disposed syringes
are the highest risk at our workplace. The prevention of transmission of HIV through a needle-
prick injury is very important, particularly in high HIV prevalence areas.
This area of AIDs education program is included in HSP system as per requirements stated in
clause of General Specifications of Contract Document.
Strategies for AIDS Prevention at the Workplace
1) Education on AIDS to CT-JV’s staff, Sub-CT-JV’s staff/labor and local community

adjacent to the project.
2) Development of comprehensive education program designed to develop the self-

regulated skills needed to translate knowledge into effective self-protective practices by
the workers;
3) Provision of a supportive environment and the services required to reduce HIV

transmission and the socioeconomic impact of AIDS, e.g. counseling services,
137 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
educational materials on AIDS, accessibility to information on correct and consistent

use of condoms, etc.;
4) Establishment of Peer Education Program in collaboration with The Chief Engineer of

railway Department, Health Information & Education Center, and etc.
5) Awareness about HIV/AIDS will be raised among local people residing adjacent to the
working construction site by Advocacy Meeting, Orientation, and Distribution of IEC
Materials.
Control Measures at the Workplace
1) Reduce occupational exposure to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other

blood-borne pathogens;
2) Minimize or eliminate this significant health risk using a combination of engineering and
work practice controls, personal protective clothing and equipment, training, medical
follow-up of exposure incidents, vaccination (where applicable), and other provisions;
3) Establish “Exposure Control Plan” designed to eliminate or minimize occupational

exposure;
4) Engineering and work practice controls shall be used to eliminate or minimize employee
exposure. Where occupational exposure remains after institution of these controls,
personal protective equipment shall also be used;
5) Engineering controls shall be examined and maintained or replaced on a regular

schedule to ensure their effectiveness;
6) Facilitation of Condom access and promotion of condom use is one of the most vital
and important part of HIV/AIDS Prevention. Making condom freely and easily available
and educating people on how to use them.
7) When there is occupational exposure, appropriate personal protective equipment, such

as, but not limited to, gloves, face shields or masks and eye protection, and
mouthpieces, or other ventilation devices, shall be provided;
8) When personal protective equipment is removed it shall be placed in an appropriately

designated area or container for storage, washing, decontamination or disposal.
138 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
HIV/AIDS Education for Construction Workers (Peer Education)
1) Defining peer education
Peer education is a popular concept that implies an approach, a communication channel, a

methodology, a philosophy, and a strategy. The English term ‘peer’ refers to “one that is of
equal standing with another; one belonging to the same societal group especially based on
age, grade or status”. The term ‘education’ refers to the “development”, “training”, or
“persuasion” of a given person or thing, or the “knowledge” resulting from the educational
process. In practice, peer education has taken on a range of definitions and interpretation
concerning who is a peer and what is education (e.g. counseling, facilitating discussions,
lecturing, distributing materials, making referrals to services, providing support, etc.). Peer
education typically involves the use of members of a given group to effect change among
other members of the same group. Peer education is often used to effect change at the
individual level by attempting to modify a person’s knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, or
behaviors. However, peer education may also effect change at the group or societal level
by modifying norms and stimulating collective action that leads to changes in program and
policies.
2) Rationale
Recent studies (by Health Information & Education Center) have shown that many mobile
workers have had risky behaviors that can lead them to HIV infection as well as sexually
transmitted diseases (STIs). This is contributed by many factors such as lack of knowledge,
inappropriate attitudes, living away from home, stressful working conditions, etc. Providing
workers with knowledge about HIV/AIDS, STIs, illicit drugs as well as creating among them
appropriate attitudes and safe practices may help them preventing from the health risks
mentioned above. Apart from health information, peer education was proved to be an
efficient approach for educating constructing workers who are influenced strongly by their
peers’ thoughts and behaviors.
3) Objectives
For peer educators: Appropriate knowledge and skills of peer education. For workers:
knowledge, appropriate attitudes and skills for preventing HIV/AIDS and STIs.
139 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Health Certifications after Screening
In addition to the AIDS education program mentioned above, screening of workers for drug abuse
(especially heroin) and drug addicts will need to be carried out and the health certificates to be
kept on site as part of the HSP system.
13 Temporary Traffic Control Plan / Navigational Safety Plan
Purpose
The purpose of this TCP and Safety Policy is to state clearly the objectives of the project in
relation to Environment, Health and Safety, Quality and Security and also in compliance to
requirements stipulated in the contract documents and legislation and regulations of the
Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
This Traffic Control Plan is a mandatory document for implementation in this project as per
Contract’s requirements, legislation and regulations of the Government of the People’s Republic
of Bangladesh and OHSAS 18001:2007 and/or equivalent standard. Any issuance of this Plan is
under the authorization of the Project Manager.
In order to attain these objectives, CT-JV ensures to provide necessary traffic measures such as
traffic routes and patterns, detours, diversionary roads, navigation plan for public ships, etc.
These are accompanied by traffic control facilities and devices for off-shore and on-shore
construction such as sign boards and panels, barricades, traffic cones, lighting devices, signal
men, etc. which are specified in the contract. CT- JV recognizes that traffic control plan properly
implemented would result into safe and time efficient, and a satisfactory level of quality of work
for the project. All personnel shall comply the requirements of this document and the agreement
from the Project Manager must be obtained prior to any amendment is to be carried out.
Traffic Control Scheme and Stage

a) Temporary Traffic Control Plan, and
b) Navigation Control Plan.
140 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Management Commitment
The CT-JV Management will monitor and control this plan to attain the overall target of the Project
with regards to quality, safety and environmental aspects in general, and with the traffic
management in particular. According to the Project Management Plan, the CT-JV Management
is committed to review all of the Project’s relevant plans. This review of system will enable the
site to improve continuously during the construction period.
Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTCP)
Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTCP) will be developed and submitted to The Engineer
separately for his approval before the start of the site works as specified in the contract
documents. Navigational Safety Plan for existing waterway traffic control of the works will be also
submitted with the detailed method statements of related works for The Engineer’s review and
approval.
This document describes the Traffic Control Plan by which CT- JV recognizes the need to
efficiently manage traffic throughout the construction period. CT- JV aims to accomplish the
project in a manner that will provide a high level of safety, minimize congestion, and reduce
human impacts for both workers and the travelling public. Effective traffic control plan is an
important key to achieving a timely completion of the works. CT- JV recognizes that traffic control
plan properly implemented would result into safe and time efficient, and a satisfactory level of
quality of work for the project.

Appendix-HSP-04: Non-Conformance Reporting Procedure
Control of Non-Conformance
Non-conformance is categorized into two types:
 QEHS (Quality, Environment, Health and Safety) System Non-conformance, which
are define as deviations of systems and/or processes that are required in ISO
Standards, Contract Specifications, Plans, Procedures and any other Project
Management documents; and
 QEHS Product Non-conformance, which are produced and detected during the
Project execution.
QEHS System Non-conformance can arise as a result of the following:

1. IMS (Integrated Management System) Audits;
2. Monitoring and measurement activities;
3. Internal and external communication and consultation;
4. Complaint from Project Stakeholders or any interested parties;
5. Incidents occurred at site; and
6. Conditions/incidents that could create significant EHS impacts/risks.
QEHS Product Non-conformance can be detected by any of the following parties during
the course of the Project:
1. CT- JV QA/QC or Construction Team;
2. CT- JV Internal Auditors;
3. CT- JV Suppliers and Service Providers;
4. The Engineer; and
5. The Employer.
When non-conformance in Health & Safety Management system is detected, Non-

Conformance Report (NCR) must be raise within 24 hours using the form as shown in
Appendix 05. The Health & Safety Manager or the responsible personnel shall update the
Register of Non-conformances.
The Responsible Manager will analyze the detected non-conformance and will make
proposals for the corrective and preventive measures to contain and rectify the non-
conformance as well as the appropriate initial disposition.
The Section Manager will review and report the NCR together with the proposed corrective
and preventive measures to the Project Manager for his approval, and the PM will report
the NCR and agreed remedies to contain and rectify the non-conformance to the Engineer.
147 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT

After the submission of initial fact report in the form of NCR as mentioned above, CT-JV
will submit to the Engineer the Corrective/Preventive Action Request (CPAR). This will
serve as notice/request to the Engineer or their responsible personnel in-charge for the
particular non-conformities reported. A committee meeting will then be arranged between
the Engineer and CT-JV to discuss in detail the nature of non-conformities, the cause root
analysis, the final decision for the disposition, the corrective and remedy work(s), and finally
the preventive measures to ensure the non-conformances recurrence.
The Section Manager and Project Manager will conduct the verification and close-out of
the NCR after all remedial work(s) are completed satisfactory. The responsible personnel
for the NCR shall provide sufficient and photographic evidence of the remedial work(s) to
enable the Engineer to review the closing of NCR’s
The NCR status will form as part of CT-JV Monthly Returns and will be communicated to
all concerned stakeholders to prevent recurrence. Non-conformance Reporting and
Dissemination System will be utilized as tool for lessons learned for continual improvement
of quality processes in general; and towards the achievements of the overall goal of QEHS
in particular as mentioned in the – Project Management Objectives and Targets.

Appendix-HSP-12: Countermeasure for Steel Superstructure Erection
1 General
CT Venture will pay particular attention for the safety and health of not only the related persons
who worked in the site but also the public adjacent or passing through the site. For steel
superstructure erection, all of the related work items are intended to be executed strictly in
conformity to proposed countermeasures as stated in this Appendix
2 Understanding the Requirements for Safety Assurance

Introduction
CT- JV will strictly abide by the clauses on safety in the Contract specifications mentioned
therein as well as will also establish his own safety procedures for the project safety. CT- JV
will appoint a suitably experienced safety manager who will deal with matters regarding the
safety and protection against accidents of all staff and labor, third parties and the public.
CT- JV will comply with all foreseeable issues related to safety and health during superstructure
erection including the rules and regulations of Bangladesh and regulations currently published
and any that might be introduced during the erection works, and any other requirements of a
similar nature instructed by the Engineer.
3 Labor Safety and Project Health Plan
CT- JV will cooperate and comply with Engineer's instructions to have Project Health and
Safety Plan approved by the Engineer before the start of erection works. The proposed safety
plan to be submitted to the Engineer will cover and contain the following, but be modified when
the work commences in accordance with actual site conditions:
a. Safety Management Organization Structure
The Safety Manager will lead the safety team under the instruction of the Project Manager.
The site safety is, however, dependent on the people actually working at site for erection and
related works; thus, the Safety Manager and his staff will be, in a sense, a conductor or a
facilitator the site safety. The site safety team should, therefore, include the Site Engineers.
b. Principal Staff and Their Responsibility
The Safety Manager will be a suitably experienced person who will supervise and monitor
the compliance with the Project Safety Plan and audit the operation of the Project Safety Plan
in a rolling program of erection works. Necessary authority will be delegated to the Safety
Manager by the Project Manager to instruct the employees of CT- JV and the Sub-
Contractor(s) of any tiers to cease any operations and take urgent and appropriate remedial
actions to make safe the work conditions at the site during erection works and prevent unsafe
working practices or other infringements of the Project Safety Plan or the statutory
regulations. The safety staff should be appropriately experienced person. He then is
175 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Bazar)
empowered by the Safety Manager to take over his power when the Safety Manager is
unavailable at site.
c. Communication Procedure inside the CT-JV's Organization

The safety warning slip will be prepared by the Safety Manager. He will hand the written slip
to the persons in charge at the site immediately. The copy of the slip is filed by him in the
office and is reported to the relevant managers. CT- JV's safety policy is posted wherever
available. The safety meeting held daily, weekly and monthly are also good tools of in-
organization communication.
d. Safety Meeting
CT- JV will hold daily, weekly and monthly safety meeting/ assembly such as:
Daily Meeting:
The Safety Manager precautions the day's would-be dangerous works to be expected and
recommend how to protect from the dangers at the daily general morning assembly. At the
assembly, the persons working on the day including CT- JV's and Sub-Contractor’s
employees will exercise physically for 5 minutes, for waking-up their bodies and make them
flexible. This highly prevents accidents at site. Tool box meeting will be introduced. That is
a mini discussion inside a small group working together. The leader should check the staffs
clothing, safety gears, and address the day's dangerous works and their safety counter-
measures. The Safety Manager has hearings of the next day's safety consideration at the
daily works meeting to be held after the lunch time for the next day's works planning. The
hearings result lead to the next day's safety talk at the daily general morning assembly.
Weekly Meeting:
The daily work meeting on the first day or the last day of the week is functioning also as a
weekly safety meeting, at which all the key participants in the Project gather. The safety
considerations for the week or next week are addressed.
Monthly Safety Mass Meeting (Assembly):
The daily general morning assembly on the first day of the month serves as a Monthly Safety
Assembly. The Safety Manager precautions the month's would-be dangerous works to be
expected and recommend how to protect from the dangers. In order to enhance and
promote the work force safety motivation and to keep in their mind the safety issues, safety
prizes may be awarded to laborers who have well performed during the last month. The
Safety Patrol is also conducted on the same day by the Project Manager, the Safety
Manager, project section managers, and other key personnel; and the Engineer and his key
staff in order to survey the current safety conditions at site. The patrol should be wrapped
up at the meeting following the site tour. The wrap-up summary is reported to the Engineer
in the Monthly Report.
e. Safety Records, Statistics and Reports

Project Manager for the submission to the Engineer. The sample copy is attached in the
Appendix-PHSP-08 and the duplicated copy is kept and filed suitably.
f. Safety Promotion
The Project Manager will promote the safety first. Good practices by laborers are
recommended by each field manager monthly. Particularly girder erection work will include
various work items at high elevation place, for which the following basic precautions will be
securely prepared or promoted:
 Provide safe working platforms at regular elevation intervals;
 Provide hand railing for safe for safe working;
 Provide fully equipped body safety harness of approved make for every person to
be worked at high elevation place.
g. Hazardous Materials
CT- JV will implement Safety Hazard Identification and Safety Risk Analysis including
safety counter measures for each work item, based on which will provide Material Safety
Data for any hazardous material or chemicals prior to the usage of such at site. Hazardous
materials should be isolated and stored specially. When they are used, the workforce
should wear the special safety gears. Otherwise, the Safety Manager should not allow the
commencement of the work with hazardous materials. When the hazardous materials are
to be used in narrow space, ventilation system should be sufficiently equipped. The Safety
Manager should identify the necessity of the ventilation system and notice to the workers
and their management. Particularly the following items are to be considered:
 Safety precautions for gas cutter-LPG or acetylene fuel supply will be safe guarded
against blast back;
 Cylinders shall be fitted with pressure gauge cap and stored at cool and dry places;
 Quality and applicable rubber horse pipe shall be utilized;

Bazar)
 The workers using gas cutter and grinder shall be well trained; they should always
equip face shield and helmet during works.
h. Sub-Contractor’s Involvement
CT- JV will provide the Sub-Contractors with the copies of his Project Safety Plan. The full
compliance to the Project Safety Plan should be documented in the Subcontract agreements
and will require the Sub-Contractors to appoint their safety representatives who work for
safety together with the JV's safety team.
i. Emergency and Rescue Procedures
CT- JV will establish a communication lines for emergency and rescue. The flow chart and
the telephone numbers to be noticed are shown on an emergency notice sheet. The sheets
are handed over to the JV's employees and the Sub-Contractors safety representatives and
are posted wherever possible. In order to make the communication line effective, the Safety
Manager and the general affairs manager frequently contact the relevant governmental
offices, fire department, electric power company and the neighbourhood hospitals.
The JV's office will be equipped with emergency first aid kit and stretchers; and Fire
Extinguishers should be provided where cutting & welding work area.
Suitable procedures and drills for emergency situations, including rescue operations will be
prepared by the Safety Manager in conjunction with the Project Manager. The foreseeable
emergencies during superstructure erection works are listed below:
 Flooding of river;
 Traffic accident on the existing bridges;
 Waterway traffic accident;
 Injury;
 Fire;
 Typhoon or heavy rain storms.
Further specific emergency procedures such as heavy equipment falling down or other
relevant accident regarding construction equipment will be developed as necessary. The
effect of emergency situations on specific tasks is considered as part of the risk assessment
undertaken for that task.
j. Safety Education for New Comers
A short safety session will be held by a staff of the safety team every time when a new comer
arrives at site. A safety education kit will be prepared. The major topics of the safety session
are: "Project Introduction", "Site Safety Policy", "Proper Safety Gears", "Safety/Dangerous
Particulars of the Site", "Emergency and Rescue Procedure", and "Safety Meetings”.

HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Bazar)
The project safety plan will be audited periodically by the relevant personnel including the
Project Manger to inspect the suitability to actual site conditions. The plan should be kept
continually improved.
m. Erection Method/ Temporary Facilities/ Heavy Equipment
The site safety heavily depends upon the erection or construction method, design and actual
installation of temporary facilities, field labors wearing safety gears, and heavy equipment's
operators' skill and safety minds. The construction managers should plan the erection and
construction method to secure and respect the work safety. Temporary facilities should be
designed with safety factor enough to secure safety under properly-supposed conditions.
The site engineers then are responsible for verifying whether the actual works are in
accordance with the method statement and whether the temporary facilities are also
complying to the design. The workforce themselves should be sensitive to the safety. They
should be properly equipped with personal protection gears and use them whenever
necessary. The field engineers should warn and instruct the laborers without sufficient
personal protective equipment or remove them if they do not follow his warning/instruction.
The heavy equipment is a kind of frequent source of accidents. The management engineers
should confirm the equipment is well maintained and wire ropes are in good condition.
Together with the Safety Manager, the site engineers should periodically check operators if
they have licenses, and enough skills and capabilities. Additionally, CT- JV will provide
sufficient watchmen to ensure the safety of the public and erection works at all times.
n. Safety Equipment and Clothing
Adequate supplies of suitable Safety Equipment will be maintained, the Safety Manager will
ensure that appropriate Safety Equipment is issued to and used by their respective project
personnel and authorized visitors. The provision of Safety Equipment will be in accordance
with the relevant statutory requirements.
All personnel will be informed at the time of issue, of the need to maintain the equipment
properly and hygienically and to immediately report any defect or damage of the Safety
Equipment. They will also be provided with instruction on the proper use and maintenance
of the equipment where appropriate such as safety helmets, eye protection, hearing
protection, respiratory protection, safety boots, gloves, safety harnesses/safety belts,
reflective jacket, etc.
Every person issued with Safety Equipment is responsible for using, maintaining and
inspecting it regularly to ensure that it remains fit for its intended use. Any defects or
deficiencies are reported immediately to the relevant supervisor. Sub-Contractors will also
be required to regularly monitor the condition of Safety Equipment issued to project
personnel. The failure of any individual to use the Safety Equipment provided as directed by
their employer is subject to disciplinary action that may result in the offender's dismissal from
the site.
o. Notice of Accidents

 Vessel entry work;
 Material handling.
5. Basic Measures for Safety of Erection and River Transport
CT- JV will contact the authority of waterway traffic management to get their agreement of safety
measures for waterway traffic. The Employer will, upon the request, coordinate with the JV to clear
the problems ever happening. Whenever any accident happens in the area under CT- JV’s
occupation, CT- JV shall be responsible for rescue and report to the Engineer and the relevant local
authorities to enter the site for finding the reasons of the accidents.
CT- JV will provide and maintain required equipment or facilities directed by the Engineer or by any
duly constituted authority for the safety and convenience of the undisturbed river transport and for
the protection of the Works under construction.
CT- JV will keep his employees and Sub-Contractors highly safety oriented at all times, by preparing
written Safety Manuals, regularly holding safety meetings on the site, and preventive punishing
employees violating the safety rules and will arrange ship, lifebuoy, if necessary, and medical tools
to be ready for rescuing the people.
On relevant note to ensure waterway traffic, navigation control will be securely managed under
detailed examination and discussion with the Engineer or related appropriate authorities particularly
during erection sequence stage over the river to secure legal and practical navigation clearance
including free board based upon the Bangladesh regulation, related law and actual construction
conditions, which are to be submitted to the Engineer to receive official approval.
6. Traffic Management during Construction/Erection Time
180 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Bazar)
During the execution of erection and related work items, CT- JV will cooperate with the pertinent
agencies regarding traffic control and all details will be subject to the Engineer's approval, if any.
CT- JV will be responsible for investigating and establishing the requirements for traffic control and
safety at each site and level crossing road to be improved and newly constructed and shall submit
such details in the form of a temporary traffic control plan for approval by the Engineer.
CT- JV will refer and comply with the temporary facilities and control specified in technical
specification for girder erection and related work items. In general, any temporary works placed
over roads or diversions used by public traffic should maintain a vertical clearance stipulated for
the roads involved. Where required by the Engineer, CT- JV will erect suitable approved check
gates, fitted with warning signs indicating the vertical clearance. Materials for traffic control devices
shall conform to the requirements and as specified in the contract: retro reflective materials, sign
panels, sign posts, barricades, cones, temporary fences, vertical panel, warning lights (flashing or
steady).
CT- JV will keep the length of the project construction areas for girder erection work in such the
condition that traffic will be accommodated safely. Traffic control devices and services will be
provided and maintained both inside and outside the project limits as needed to facilitate traffic
guidance should this be necessary.
Prior to the start of erection work, CT- JV will erect such signs, barricades, and other traffic control
devices as may be required by the plans and specifications or directed by the Engineer. Traffic
control devices will be operated only when they are needed and only those devices that apply to
conditions actually in existence will be operable. Temporary fence will be placed to provide a visual
barrier between the erection work area and adjacent traffic or building and at locations directed by
the Engineer. During non-working hours and following completion of a particular erection or
construction operation, all warning signs, except hose necessary for the safety of the public, will
be removed or entirely covered with either metal or plywood sheeting so that the sign panel will not
be visible.
Retro-reflective sheeting on signs, barricades, and other devices will be kept clean. Stretches, rips,
and tears in the sheeting shall be promptly corrected. Retro-reflective sheeting will have a
maintained retro-reflection. Night time operations (if any) will be illuminated by a lighting system
approved by the Engineer. The lighting system will be positioned and operated to preclude glare.
Incandescent lights will not be permitted.
7. Labor Safety Control Procedure
Erection work consist of complex tasks that not only requires expert tradesmen but also heavy
equipment. Therefore, CT- JV must pay particular attention to all of the work items constituting
complicated stages; furthermore, we consider that there is no more important goal than the
achievement of consistently high standards of health and safety. We consider it is a business
necessity to ensure the safety of everyone who may be affected by our work activities. As a
business, we are committed to the prevention of work related injuries, and to the prevention of
damage or loss property. We minimize safety risks by actively involving our employees, partners
and Sub-Contractors in developing and sustaining a positive companywide safety culture. This will
be achieved by the use of best practice safety management techniques, by setting and
achievement of realistic safety objectives and targets and by compliance with safety legislation as
181 | P a g e
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
Bazar)
minimum standards.
We are committed to the continual improvement of our safety performance and will ensure that
across all our operations there is an appropriate management system in place. This system will
describe the organization and designated responsibilities for safety, the arrangements for planning
and implementing the work necessary to prevent work related injuries, through the identification of
hazards and the assessment and management of associated risks, and will set out the means for
measuring and reviewing performance and auditing the management system.
The Project Manager, who has overall responsibility for this policy, will ensure the provision of
adequate resources for its implementation and review. The policy will be brought to the attention
of the work force and be reviewed at least annually to assess its effectiveness in securing
continuing improvement in the JV's safety performance.

1 Introduction
Under the proposed Dohazari-Cox’s Bazar Dual Gauge Single Railway Line Project (Project),
an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report has been prepared that contains an
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which specifies a set of mitigative and monitoring
actions to be undertaken by the Contractor, during the Contract Period. The EMP has been
developed based on the requirements of Department of Environment (DoE) and Asian
Development Bank (ADB). This requires to carry out the following tasks by the Contractor of
the project. This includes:
(a) review of the environmental documentation for this Project, specifically the
Environmental Impact Assessment and its Environmental Management Plan (EMP);
(b) organize briefing and training workshop during construction period;
(c) appoint a suitably qualified and experienced person who will be responsible for
implementing the EMP;
(d) implement mitigative and monitoring tasks as specified in the EMP’s mitigative and
monitoring tables;
(e) prepare monthly and quarterly, semi-annual, and annual reports, on survey results,
monitoring and mitigative actions and any other environmental related activities.
The EIA includes instructions for the Contractor to prepare an implementation schedule for all
construction period mitigative and monitoring tasks. The EMP defines all the mitigative and
monitoring tasks to be undertaken during the construction period. The Contractor shall prepare
corresponding documents to be submitted to the Engineer for approval prior to
commencement of the field works. Once approved, this schedule will become the focus of
environmental safeguards implementation during the construction period.
Thus, this Environmental Management Plan has been prepared which highlights the specific
requirements that will be required to monitor during the construction activities and should the
environmental impacts not have been satisfactory prevented or mitigated, corrective action
will be taken. The Environmental Management Plan is a dynamic and will be considered as a
flexible document subject to review and updating. During the implementation the Project there
is always possibility that unforeseen issues could arise, this EMP should therefore be revised
where necessary to mitigate unanticipated impacts.
2 Project Location
The start of the Project is approximately 44 km south of Chittagong at Dohazari [Ch. (-) 2 +
000] and extends south to Chakaria (Ch. 50 + 400) on proposed alignment of Dohazari to
Cox’s Bazar and passes through three Upazilas Chandanish, Satkania and Lohagara of
Chittagong district and one Upazila Chakaria of Cox’s Bazar district. The total length of the
proposed single line dual gauge track is 52.4 km. The new rail line will cross agricultural lands,

5 Objectives of the Environment Management Plan
This Project has been classified as Category “Red” by the Department of Environment (DoE)
of Ministry of Environment and Forest, Bangladesh and a Category “A” project by the Asian
Development Bank (ADB), thus an Environmental Impact Assessment addressing the
environmental impacts and mitigation measures needed thereby has been prepared by the
Employer which has been defined in Environment Management Plan (EMP). The EMP
contains a set of mitigation and monitoring actions to be taken, in response to potential impacts
predicted to take place during the pre-construction, construction and operating periods of the
Project out of which, the Contractor is responsible for implementing of the environmental
safeguard requirements during the construction period as per provision of the Section H:
Environmental Safeguards and prepared this Environment Management Plan.
The key objective of this Environment Management Plan is to take well known and best
mitigative measures to reduce, limit, eliminating or compensate for impacts, to
acceptable/insignificant levels. The Environmental Management Plan has the following goals;
 Identifying those construction activities that may have a detrimental impact on the
environment;
 Detailing the mitigation measures that will need to be taken, the procedures for their
implementation;
 Establishing the reporting system to be undertaken during the construction.
6 Scope of works
 Implement the environmental mitigative and monitoring tasks defined in the EMP
 Conduct coordination cum training, workshop/meeting with participation from

Bangladesh Railway and staff working at site.
 Preparation of environmental forms and checklists
 Organize stakeholder consultations and disclose environmental issues during

construction;
 Conduct air quality, noise measurement, surface water quality, and groundwater
quality monitoring, testing and analysis, pursuant to Technical Specification
 Maintain a copy of all environment related statutory clearances required for

implementation of the project and EMP.
 Attend all environmental safeguard briefings and training sessions undertaken by the
Engineer and/ or the Employer; and
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
 Preparation of all kinds of environmental reports such as monthly environmental

inspection report, quarterly environmental compliance report, semi-annual report and
annual environmental report and as and when necessary for submission to The
Engineer.
7 Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework

8 Approach and Methodology to Execute EMP

Prior to Start of Construction
8.1.1 Engagement of an Independent Organization subject to the Engineer’s approval
In order to ensure proper implementation of the environmental safeguard requirements during

the construction period, the Contractor has initiated and nominated an independent
organization namely, Environment and Resource Analysis Center Limited herein after shall be
referred to as ENRAC, having its present registered office at Flat # B1, House # 19, Road #
13, Block G, Niketon, Dhaka 1212. All the necessary documents relating to competency as an
independent organization of ENRAC for the purpose of implementation of the environmental
safeguard requirements is attached herewith in Appendix A for approval.
8.1.2 Preparation of Site-specific Method of Statement
The Contractor realizes that the project will require to produce a number of methods those to
be followed during construction period. This includes procedure to be followed for
environmental mitigation such as hill cutting management, conflict between elephant and
humans, water pollution, air and noise pollution, monitoring procedure and etc. The Contractor
will notify and take approval from the Engineer prior to execute any method at site. Thus, the
Contractor will prepare site-specific methodology for proper mitigation of environmental
aspects at site.
HEALTH, SAFETY &
ENVIRONMENT
8.1.3 Preparation and Approval of Environmental Management Work Schedule
The Contractor is responsible to prepare environmental management implementation work

schedule (EWMS), which is a recasting of the EMP mitigation and monitoring tasks assigned
to the Contractor, into a time-bounded work program where the contractor will define what,
when and how compliance with each task will take place. This will be particularly important for
the construction period field surveys as specified in the EMP. A copy of the EWMP will be
submitted to the Engineer at least ten days prior to commencement of construction to be
forwarded to Department of Environment. A tentative EMWS has been prepared and attached
below, however it will be modified further based on the requirements.

The Contractor will prepare environmental forms and checklists to fulfil compliance
requirements. The Contractor will share all forms and checklist with the Engineer for approval.
Preparation of the environmental forms and checklist will be based on EMP, designed to
record the implementation of each mitigative and monitoring activity, measured against the
timetable defined in the EWMP.

8.2.1 Environmental Mitigation Measures
A summary of the key potential environmental impacts that will require mitigative measures
during the construction of the Project, are listed below and form the basis of the Environmental
Management Plan. A typical environmental mitigative measure table is provided in Table 1.
Air Quality and Dust
There is potential for construction activities to cause impacts to the community, residential
areas and other dust sensitive receptors. Controls during the construction of the project will
be required including dust suppression via watercart to minimize impacts to receptors.
The Contractor will undertake dust suppression method as defined in Clause 2.2 of the EMP.
All roads, permanent or temporary, pukka or katcha, that become dusty and all areas where
construction related activities are carried out, shall be subject to necessary suppression
measures by watering, sweeping or other measures approved or directed by the Engineer.
The Contractor will not allow waste oil, lubricant or other petroleum derivatives to be used as
dust suppressants and shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent accidental spillage of
petroleum products, contact of such materials with soil or water course through discharge,
run-off, and or seepage.
The Contractor will take all reasonable measures to minimize dust-blowing from areas under
his control by spraying water on stockpile, bare soil, haul road, un-surfaced traffic route and
any other source of dust when conditions require dust suppression. If the Engineer considers
that the dust suppression measures adopted by Contractor ineffective, Contractor shall in that
case take further measure to minimize dust blowing at construction site as per his direction.
Implementation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for Construction of Single Line Dual Gauge Railway
Line from Dohazari to Cox’s Bazar via Ramu (Lot 1) 12
Erosion
Construction works for the project have the potential to result in sediment-laden water or
material entering nearby environmental receptors including waterways, storm water and
adjacent areas of remnant native vegetation. Erosion and sediment controls will be developed
for the construction phase of the project.
Topography and Landscape changes
The impacts to site topography will be due to the construction of rail embankment, the access
roads, the need to cut through a number of hilly sections and the placement of 5 new station
buildings and related other infrastructure. The new embankment will have the greatest effect
as it will rise above the mostly flat landscape. Secondly, in order to achieve an acceptable
operating grade, cutting through hills will be required at about 40 locations of the rail corridor,
significantly and permanently impacting the local topography.
Hill Cutting
The project will require hill cutting within the right of way. The cutting of hill can lead to slope
destabilization. The potential effects include landslides, erosion, silt runoff etc. A total 14.7 km
of hilly sections of the alignment need to be cut across of the alignment. These areas will be
highly erosion-prone. Proper protection measure like slope retaining walls and bioengineered
measures such as plant fascines, palisades and brush layering will be applied if required and
suggested by the Engineer. The Contractor will prepare a detail hill cutting management plan
prior to commencement of hill cutting.
Hydrology, Drainage and Surface Water Quality
Embankment that intersect drainage basins generally modify the natural flow of surface water
by concentrating flows at certain points and, in many cases, increasing the speed of flow.
Depending on local conditions, these changes can contribute to flooding, soil erosion, channel
modification, and siltation of streams. These effects are often felt well beyond the immediate
vicinity of the embankment.
An important function of the track bed layers is that they work as a drainage system. Water
primarily enter the substructure in three different ways:
i) Rain,
ii) Water from nearby slopes enters the ballast and the underlying material, and
iii) Water can seek upwards to the substructure.
Poor drainage causes a number of problems with track performance. Water and moisture
content breaks down the bearing power or capacity of the sub-grade. They reduce the shear-
strength of the soil. With water soil can be transformed into plastic slurry. Water pressure
develops in the substructure layers under the repeated train loading which decreases the
strength and stiffness of the materials and increases the deformation. The water content in
the soil increases which also decreases the strength and stiffness of the materials and
increases the deformation under the train loading. A mixture of fine particles in the voids
together with water can form a slurry, which fouls the ballast and makes it difficult to maintain
13
a smooth track surface. The slurry also erodes the ballast and concrete sleepers. The “mud-
dancing” or “pumping” concrete sleeper crush and mill the ballast stones to fines.
Another problem caused by poor drainage is the hydraulic pumping of the sub-ballast and sub-
grade layers which is one source of fouling of the ballast and also causes geometry
deterioration. Another problem is swelling of expanding soils when they absorb water during
wet (monsoon) season. This is followed by shrinking in periods of dry season when the water
is removed from the soil by evaporation. Since the volume changes on swelling and shrinking
are uneven, they usually result in substantial deterioration of track geometry. This leads to a
“MEMORY” for track-misalignment buried in the sub-grade.
The Sangu, Bakkhali, Matamuhuri, and Tributary of the Matamuhuri Rivers, all originating in
India and Myanmar, dominate the hydrology along the proposed alignment. These rivers,
especially the Bakkhali, Matamuhuri and Sangu exhibit flash flooding during heavy monsoon
rains. The Bakkhali, Matamuhuri and Sangu and its tributaries have no or less than 10% of
normal flow during the dry season (November–April), due to withdrawal of water for irrigation
by low-lift pumps. Generally, ponds remain unchanged from year to year due to rejuvenation
during the rainy season. No protected wetlands were found in the rail corridor.
Based on the 2013 survey, 177 crossing structures (bridges and culverts) need to be built. Of
these, 40 are bridges, with six classified as large, i.e., with length of over 100 m. The other
137 structures are small bridges and single and multi-celled box culverts of various
dimensions, to be installed as prefabricated as well as poured in place structures. Water levels
and discharge rates of the significant large rivers suggest very shallow and mostly seasonal
waterways.Finally, all five large rivers are tidally influenced, but tidal bores do not reach any
of the bridge crossing locations but do cause daily water level fluctuations when there is
sufficient flow.
People living in the corridor use the water from the rivers, canal and ponds for washing, bathing
and for their livestock but generally not for consumption (tubewells are used). In the dry season
local canals and channels are often dry, made worse by the withdrawal of irrigation water for
boro1 cultivation and for growing winter crops
Groundwater
Changes to the natural surface water drainage and temporary degradation of surface water
quality are common at railway construction sites. Embankment drainage and excavation can
lower the water table in surrounding areas, while embankments and structures can raise the
water table by restricting flow. The potential effects include deterioration of vegetation,
increased susceptibility to erosion, loss of water for drinking as well as agricultural use, and
habitat changes for fish and wildlife.
1The boro rice is commonly known as winter rice. The term boro is a Bengali term and originated from the Sanskrit word "Boro"
which refers to a cultivation from November to May under irrigated condition.
14
Waste Management
The Contractor will undertake disposal of waste materials plan as defined in Clause 2.5 of the
EMP. The work will ensure adequate mitigative measure to limit the impact on pedestrians,
local communities and water bodies within the Project area. The project will not allow any
burning to reduce carbon footprint. No cleared debris shall be left lying on the surface of the
ground or buried in any agricultural land. Man-made construction debris shall be disposed of
in disposal areas the location and nature of such disposal shall be subject to the approval of
the Engineer. All disposal areas shall be finally graded to a uniform and level condition and
left such that they create a minimum impact on the surrounding area.
A number of different waste streams will be generated from the project as a result of
construction and demolition activities as site offices and facilities. The waste hierarchy (avoid
and reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, treat, dispose) will be used to minimize the amount of
waste that goes to landfill. Hazardous substances will be managed in accordance with the
Rules & Regulations of the Country.
Noise
Key Project-related noise sources are generators, vehicles, construction equipment, plants
crushing aggregate, mixing concrete and asphalt etc. Potential noise impacts vary based on
the noise amplitude, frequency, distance from receivers, site landscape features, topography,
presence of obstacles, and meteorological effects. There is nothing particularly unique about
construction noise - it's a fluctuation in air pressure oscillating above and below atmospheric
pressure that is produced by construction equipment or activities with sufficient magnitude
(loudness) and within a certain frequency range (audible spectrum) such that human beings
can hear it - just like any other noise. Physical effects related to humans are probably most
applicable to the operators of construction equipment as opposed to people residing adjacent
to construction projects and the potential for hearing loss or physical damage to the human
hearing mechanism is protected by Occupational Safety and Health Plan. While resulting in
the potential to annoy or disturb humans, construction noise is typically not a danger to
people's hearing.
Terrestrial and Aquatic Flora and Fauna
Endangered Asian elephant is the only terrestrial fauna has seen in the Project area. However,
from the initial secondary sources, Contractor realized that none of the active elephant
crossing falls within the Project area of Lot 1. During the construction period, the contractor
will undertake information from local people and also from available secondary sources for the
confirmation of the elephant routes. However, the Contractor will aware it’s all staff working at
site that an elephant may cross through work areas and be ready to accommodate it, record
its movement and sending this information immediately to Contractor office. Slopes of rail
embankments near established elephant routes will need to be gradual enough to permit an
elephant to walk over the tracks or quickly establish new routes along flatter terrain. The
Contractor will take adequate mitigation measures to protect the interest of Asian elephants
including their corridors and habitats, if any.
15
Elephant travel routes and Elephant population
Although it is unlikely to have elephant crossing in the Project area of Lot 1, the Contractor will
take adequate precaution to identify the elephant travel routes during construction and later
via deep cuts as crossing locations. The Contractor will develop in assistance of the Engineer,
the Elephant Management Plan prior to start of construction and will implement the plan during
construction period to minimize impact including establishing work hours near crossing areas
to only full daylight (0700-1700). The contractor will ensure that the embankments at cut areas
will be kept as low as possible. The Contractor will monitor movement of elephant, if found at
crossing points and ability to move around construction sites, seek cooperation of local
villages, to continue a monitoring program during the construction period at all elephant
crossing areas.
Health and Vector Borne Diseases
Construction leaves depressions in the ground that allow stagnant puddles to form, ideal to
become breeding areas for malaria and dengue mosquitoes. Five types of malaria is prolific
in Dohazari to Chakaria region, such as: i) Plasmodium Falciparum ii) Plasmodium Vivax iii)
Plasmodium Ovale iv) Plasmodium falciparum Malariae and v) Plasmodium Knowlesi.
Necessary public health measures should be taken for this type of vector borne disesses.
Personal and occupational health issues, stemming from unsanitary toilet facilities, lack of
potable water and sanitary washing areas can lead to common disease outbreaks in work
camps. The Contractor will inspect for stagnant water and puddles every three days especially
in rainy season, including stored construction materials such as tires and old empty oil drums
to prevent water ponding. All such sites will be drained and or filled in and tires disposed of or
kept in a covered area. The Contractor will undertake check and cleaning at all sites and areas
where clean conditions should exist. The Contractor will ensure the provision of potable water,
sanitary toilet facility and hygienic accommodation for workers at camp sites. All potable water
supplies will be tested semiannually. The Contractor will make provision of First-Aid facility for
all staff and will ensure that these facilities are cleaned and disinfected regularly. The
Contractor will inspect for stagnant water and puddles every week, including stored
construction materials such as tires and old oil drums–empty to prevent water ponding.
Worksite Safety Management
Worksite safety is important at construction site. Poor safety oversight and management of
the worksites lead to accidents and unsafe working conditions. Therefore, the Contractor will
arrange adequate number of health and safety training for workers and safety officer will
continuously inspect and check the safety compliance at site. The Contractor will also
construct fences separating the construction sites at settlement areas from public access. The
Contractor will at all times ensure that the local people are able to cross the construction area
safety who need to move from one side of the construction area to another.
HIV Awareness
The project will require a large number of workers who may not be available locally. As such
Contractor may need to hire workers outside of the local area. Due to influx of workers in the
Project area, AIDS/HIV may spread in local community. As such, the Contractor will organize
16
health training Programme for workers during construction period to aware the health and
hygienic issues. Training to be provided by the Contractor engaging a health service provider.
Personal Safety Equipment (PSE)
Nonuse of PSE by workers may lead to accidents. The Contractor will ensure that all workers
have appropriate personal protection equipment, such as safety boots, helmets, gloves,
protective clothing, goggles and ear protection, and also enforce its use, during work. The
Contractor will also organize quick discussion in the morning with workers to motivate them to
use PSE at all times during work.
Safety Training
Lack of safety training can lead to accidents and lost productivity. The Contractor will organize
adequate numbers of health and safety and on specific hazards, training for construction
workers.
Labor Standards
Maintaining labor standard is a vital part of any construction work. Non-compliance of labor
standards will lead to infractions of basic labor standards as defined by ILO conventions. The
Contractor will not permit any child labor under the age of 14. 14 year and above may be hired
as general labors, and no workers under the age of 17 are to be hired for hazardous jobs such
work on scaffolding, and structures elevated above the ground, etc. The Contractor will ensure
that there is no bonded labor and forced labor, as defined by ILO Conventions 29 & 105. The
Contractor will consider gender and treat equally and equal opportunity- as defined by ILO
Conventions 100 & 111 and ILO Code of Practice for HIV/AIDS 85. The Contractor will not
discriminate based on race, caste, origin, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, union
or political affiliation, or age and also no sexual harassment. The Contractor will ensure
minimum wage to all its employees according to Bangladesh Labor Act standards.
Construction along and across elephant travel routes
During construction, Contractor will fully aware its staff when working in vicinity of elephant
travel routes, taking care not to block this with equipment of temporary storage as EMP clause
2.12. Observance of elephant at working site, no one should irritate the elephant during its
movement around the construction site. The possible elephant crossing areas with GPS
coordinates to be flagged prior to start construction on those areas. During construction,
contractor will conduct a reconnaissance study to be fully aware off elephant travel routes, will
take adequate measures not to block potential elephant routes with equipment and or
temporary storage.
The Construction Period Environmental Completion Reporting
Environmental safeguards Programme of operating period will be weakened if summary report

defining the mitigation and monitoring actions have not been completed and actions for
Operating period have not been defined during construction period. The Contractor will
prepare a completion report and deliver to the Engineer.
17
Pilot Program to Test TIC and other Elephant-Train Accident prevention methods
No adequate preventative measures leading to injuries or death to elephant as they try to

cross the construction site when trains are passing during operating period. The Contractor
will undertake a two year pilot program to test options methods and to define the best method
or combination of methods upon approval of the Engineer. The final preferred method will be
implemented by the Contractor that will help to reduce elephant-train accident.
Elephant protection
The Contractor identified the potential railway alignment crossing routes from the secondary
sources and observed that there is no elephant crossing within the project area of Lot1.
However, during construction, Contractor will fully aware its staff when working in vicinity of
elephant travel routes, taking care not to block this with equipment of temporary storage as
EMP clause 2.12. Workers will be trained not to irritate the elephant during its movement
around the construction site and also what to do of observance of Asian elephant. EIA report
of this project shows the approximate crossing areas with GPS coordinates those will be
flagged prior to start of construction on those areas, if there is any.
Elephant Awareness
Lack of basic knowledge about elephant habits and movement, leading to agriculture damage
and potential injury to people and structures. The Contractor will design and deliver an
awareness raising program to BR and staff to Contractor.
Tree Replacement
The Project will require the removal of trees of various sizes and species mainly from forest
area. 139,000 trees to be removed from project construction corridor. Construction of
embankment will potentially lead to reduction of forest cover which can result in loss of habitat
for animal species and can harm ecosystems.
Dredging Site Impacts
The Contractor will follow the plans to protect the borrow and dredging site impacts as defined
in Clauses 2.3.2 and 2.7 of the EMP. The Contractor will secure and restore borrow sites to
control erosion, grounds for pests (Insects or animals), or any further pollution. The work will
be undertaken as each site closes to restore area to conditions specified in the EMP and or
elsewhere in the Contract Documents;
Traffic Management
The Project will impact on the local communities adjacent to the rail corridor. To minimize this
impact, the bulk of the internal mass construction haulage routes as far as possible will be
kept limited to the construction corridor. In addition, site specific traffic management plan will
be made to ensure minimum disturbance to the movement of traffic.
Light Escape
Works at night or any lighting operating overnight has the potential to impact native fauna and
local residents. Security and construction lighting will be directed inwards and downwards
towards the construction site, away from housing and surrounding vegetation.

8.2.2 Environmental Compliance Monitoring Measures
A summary of the key potential environmental impacts that will require monitoring measures
during the construction of the Project, are listed below and form the basis of the Environmental
Management Plan. A typical environmental monitoring measure table is provided in Table 2.
The Contractor will follow similar monitoring activities during construction period.
Air Quality
The Contractor will conduct air quality monitoring as defined in clause 2.2 of the EMP. The
EMP defines in detail, the air quality sampling program to be undertaken using portable
electronic sampling system: 10 sample stations @ 2 samples per station, making a total of 20
samples quarterly for four years. However, final date and time of sampling will be determined
by the Engineer. The Air quality sampling parameters are: CO, SO2, NO2, PM2.5, and PM10
and visual check on soot/black smoke. The detail monitoring requirement is shown in Table
36 in EMP along with details of acceptance limits. In case of air pollution from construction
activities, the Contractor will immediately take actions to prevent pollution and reverse or
eliminate the conditions such that they are at least as good as preconstruction or better, at his
own cost.
Noise Measurement
The Contractor will measure noise level during the construction period as define in the EMP
(Clause 2.6). A total of 10 reading measurement stations, with 2 measurements per station
(day and night) at the closest receptors from source; 20 readings quarterly for four construction
years and in parallel to air quality sampling stations. However, final date, time and number of
sampling will be determined by the Engineer.
In case of noise pollution from construction activities, the Contractor shall take immediate
actions to prevent pollution and reverse or eliminate the conditions such that they are within
limits specified in EMP. The Contractor will be required to re-establish conditions that are at
least as good as preconstruction or better at his own cost.
Surface Water Quality
The Contractor will establish a detail surface water sampling program as defines in Clause
2.4.1 of the EMP. A total of 6 sample stations, 2 samples per station, 1.5m below the surface
quarterly for three years. 12 samples quarterly for three years. However, the actual date and
time of sampling will be determined by the Engineer. In case of surface water pollution from
construction activities, the Contractor shall take immediate actions to prevent pollution and
reverse or eliminate the conditions such that they are within limits prescribed in EMP. The
Contractor will re-establish conditions that are at least as good as or better than the conditions
which existed during the preconstruction period at his own cost.
Groundwater Quality
The Contractor will establish a detail groundwater sampling program as defines in Clause
2.4.2 of the EMP. A total of 10 sample tube wells and 1 sample per tube well semi-annually
for two years, if no difference, once a year for rest of the construction years; 20 samples each
year at Year 1 and Year 2 and 10 samples at Year 3, and 10 samples at Year 4. However,
final date and time of sampling will be determined by the Engineer. Where water abstraction
from boreholes dug by the Contractor results in adverse effects on groundwater that at the
time of commencement of Contract was being used by local people, the Contractor shall
ensure supply of equivalent quantity of safe water to the users as long as the original
groundwater supply has not been re-established, at his own cost.

9 Execution of Tree Plantation Program
There are multiple objective of the tree plantation and replacement program is to compensate
for the loss of trees due to implementation of the Dohazari-Cox’s Bazar single line dual gauge
railway project. Other major objectives are to protect the affected culturally sensitive areas
(within 50 m from the RoW boundary) and to enhance the health of the existing ecosystem.
Scope
About 350,000 trees will be planted by the Contractor under this Project. Therefore, a detail
Tree Plantation and Replacement Program (TPRP) will be required to prepare detailing type
of sapling, their ratio, plantation area, nursing and etc. These trees will be planted on both side
of the proposed new alignment, in the proposed station building areas, and new station access
road areas (associated facilities). The following areas have been identified for development of
plantation sites in the project areas:
 Both side slopes of the constructed new railway embankment;
 Back side of the constructed new stations; and
 Along the affected culturally sensitive areas up to 50 m from the RoW.
Responsibility
The Contractor will procure planting and raising saplings until they survive for at least two
years from the date of planting. This period may be reviewed and modified by the Engineer at
the Contractor’s request.
Programme
The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Engineer a Tree Plantation and Replacement
Programme for approval, provided that all trees planting is completed at least one year prior
to the time for completion of the works. The species to be planted will be based on consultation
with local residents, the Forest Departments and Bangladesh Railways track maintenance
unit.
10 Environmental Training
The Contractor will prepare and deliver five training workshops in entire construction period
on EMP implementation. The participants of these training will be the representatives from
Bangladesh Railway, the Engineer and Contractor. Contents of such training workshops will
be submitted to the Engineer for approval prior to arranging the
11 Environmental Reporting
All environmental reporting is mandatory contract requirement between Bangladesh Railway
and CT JV. The Contractor will prepare the monthly, quarterly, semi-annual environmental
monitoring report as well as the annual due diligence reports. These reports will summarize
progress, assess the value of mitigative actions and adjust the existing program as needed by
tracking a set of performance indicators as well as results of field surveys used to establish
define any unwanted changes in the physical, ecological and social environment. The existing
EMP’s monitoring table, defines, in considerable detail, the air, noise and surface and
groundwater quality survey program, specifying a sampling design. The contractor will be
required to follow this schedule and the Supervision Consultant will assist with implementing
this program.
Monthly Inspection Report
The Contractor will define the reporting format for the safeguards section’s standard monthly
progress report. The Contractor will share the Table of Content of the monthly report with
Engineer to provide feedback and suggest improvement shortly before each report is
submitted. During the construction period, general environmental reporting will be required on
a monthly basis. The monthly reports will consist of a completed environmental compliance
checklist developed using the EMP and approved by the Engineer such that actions necessary
for each relevant mitigative action is identified and a summary of all actions recorded.
Where a monthly report is coincident with a quarterly or annual report, such monthly report
shall be required but may be included with the respective quarterly and annual report. Upon
approval of the monthly report by the Engineer, an environmental compliance certificate will
be issued by the Engineer to the Contractor.
Quarterly Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report
The Contractor will ensure that the environmental sections of quarterly reports, as well as
compliance monitoring checklist including environmental quality results are prepared and
submitted on time. During the construction period, beside the requirements of monthly report,
environmental monitoring inspections, and environmental quality sampling and testing will also
be required.
The quarterly report shall consist of a completed environmental compliance checklist
developed using the EMP and approved by the Engineer, results of environmental monitoring
together with a summary of significant items from the current and previous two monthly reports
showing an indication of trends of any environmental impact. The EIA contains mandatory
sampling specifications that the Contractor will be required to adhere to. In the conditions of
their environmental approval of the project, DOE required that quarterly progress reports be
filed. Therefore, Contractor will developed the Table of Content for the Quarterly report in a
harmonized manner so that it satisfy everyone requirements.
Where a quarterly report is coincident with semi-annual report, such quarterly report shall be
required but may be included with the respective annual report. The Engineer reserves the
right to increase the frequency of sampling subject to a review, which may be carried out at
any time during the Construction period of the results.
Semi-annual Environmental Report
The Contractor will prepare semi-annual compliance monitoring reports on the implementation
of mitigative and monitoring tasks defined in the EIA, its EMP and the contract specifications.
The Contractor shall prepare a semi-annual Environmental Report to include details of all
environment related activities together with a summary of all tests and monitoring activities
and conclusions and include an assessment of effectiveness of current monitoring activities,
possible changes in construction methodologies and any other thing(s) which may contribute
to a reduction in environmental impact.
47
Where a semi-annual report is coincident with annual report, such semi-annual report will be
required but may be included with the respective annual report. The Engineer reserves the
right to increase the frequency of sampling subject to a review, which may be carried out at
any time during the Construction period of the results.
Annual Environmental Report
The Contractor will prepare an Annual Environmental Report to include details of all
environment related activities together with a summary of all tests and monitoring activities
and conclusions and include an assessment of effectiveness of current monitoring activities,
possible changes in construction methodologies and any other thing(s) which may contribute
to a reduction in environmental impact. Payment of the Annual Environmental Report shall be
made upon approval of the Report by the Engineer.
The annual Due Diligence Report will present the overall progress of the contractor, the
Engineer as well as the Executing Agency in participating in the full implementation of the
EMP and any other safeguard provisions found in the environmental assessment
documentation as well as the contract specifications.
