ground.
 Fuel/oil/chemical spill - contaminates the ground if placed without ground protection.
The mitigation measures specifically address the identified environmental impacts, in addition to and
not limited to, the items as described within the guidelines for this MS

EMP for Air Emissions and Dust Generation

1. Minimize vehicular movements and implement speed control
2. Regular watering of construction site and access roads. Watering frequency will be increased

11 QUALITY CONTROLS

The Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) for this Method Statement summarises various
characteristics to be checked. The concerned Site Engineer or General Foreman will be
responsible to ensure compliance for these operations and the site QA / QC Engineer will carry
out quality control checks and report the inspection results. The Inspection and Test Plan (ITP)
applicable to this work is attached.

1.1 Handling and Storing of Materials

 All materials shall be inspected at time of delivery for damage and for compliance with
specifications.
 Any material that is found to be damaged or not in accordance with the specification shall
be immediately replaced.
 All materials shall be handled and stored as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent
damage and deterioration.
 During storage, handling and transporting, every precaution shall be taken to prevent
damage to material. On delivery at site, material will be checked for any damage incurred
during transport and offloading to Storage area. Storage will be done in suitable and safe
locations (e.g. store yard or near site work area).
 Storing of materials near site work area has the potential of congesting the site and could
affect the Health and Safety of operatives hence suitable storage facility for materials
storage will be provided at a safe distance from the work areas.

12 INTERFACES

a. All the interfaces will be identified prior to initiate the work

b. All interface requirements will be followed
c. GEC and PWA will be communicated for all actions related to interface

(C853-P03) UCC INFRAROAD JV Pages 18 of 20

 d. Neighboring contractors or any other service holder having relation with interface
requirements will be communicated with all necessary permissions and agreement to proceed
for work.
e. Overlapping activities will be well coordinated and priority will be decided in communication
with GEC.
f. Work can be suspended or postponed until all necessary interface requirements are fulfilled

13 SAFETY TO PUBLIC & OCCUPIERS

a. Control measures will be ensured to be in place to protect the public, workforce and assets by
providing appropriate lighting, fencing, barricades, and lockable units. Adequate levels of
security including the use of trained security guards will be required. The UCC-INFJV will also
ensure appropriate warning signage is displayed and where appropriate safe pedestrian
walkways are identified and maintained.
b. Safety and security procedures will be implemented in accordance with the Qatar Work Zone
Traffic Management Guide and as required by the Department of Civil Defense and the police.
These shall be included, as a minimum, warning signs and lights, adequate barricades,
railings, road hump for reduced & control speed and other safeguards as required by the
nature and location of the work being undertaken.
c. Access to all properties will be maintained by adequately sign posted diversions, temporary
bridges or other facilities.
d. A night safety patrol & watchman (as applicable areas) will be assigned to ensure that all
barricades, lights and other protective apparatus are maintained during the hours of darkness.

from distractions. Slopes and steps will have anti-slip surfaces. Where the edges of pedestrian
routes are raised more than 1.2m above the surrounding level solid barriers will be provided at
each raised edge to prevent people from falling.
f. Temporary pedestrian bridges with hand railings or suitable ramp will be provided to facilitate
safe access/egress for occupied and under construction villas. Temporary electrical cables,
hoses or pipes shall be routed away from pedestrian access areas. Where such equipment
crosses pedestrian areas it will be located under the pedestrian area or over it at a height of at
least 5.2 m above the surface. Supports shall be provided at span of 3 meters. Where such
equipment is routed over a pedestrian area it will be clearly marked with warning signs.

g. Method statement and risk assessment will be provided for all demolition and dismantling
activities. Everyone involved in the work needs to know what measures are to be taken to
control the risks and a pre work briefing based on the method statement and job hazard
analysis will be given and recorded by the supervisor. Workers will be closely supervised to
ensure that the control measures required are put into practice. An exclusion zone will be
created around the demolition or dismantling area to prevent persons not directly involved with
the work activity around the work area gaining access. Any materials will not be allowed to fall
into any area where people are working or passing through. Protection screens, fences or
canopies may be needed to control falling objects
