2 INTRODUCTION

What is meant by Environment?

It is the surrounding in which we live; land, water,

atmosphere, animals, trees etc, which can be affected by our
activities

All our activities produce waste in solid, liquid & gaseous

form, which if discharged to the environment in excess
quantities beyond its assimilation capacity can lead to
pollution
 3 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. recognizes that the Earth
environment is essential and will comply with the following environmental
policy for planning and conducting the construction business for human
survival not only for present but also for future generation.

Environmental Management Point

• Minimize construction waste, effluent and promote recycling
• Prevent environmental pollution

• Provide adequate information, training and supervision

• Measure, monitor and review environmental performance
4 WHAT IS POLLUTION?

This is a state in which the environment is contaminated

with toxic materials, discharged by our activities, which
are harmful to the flora, fauna & living beings

- Air Pollution
- Water Pollution
- Land Pollution
- Noise Pollution
5 SPILL

What is meant by spill?

• This refers to the sudden or accidental discharged of contaminant into the
environment
• Spill Control Plans
Three processes are in place for effective management of waste water to
avoid land surface and ground water contamination.
- Batching plant process water
- Treatment of batching plant toxic waste water before discharge
- The high pH value is neutralized with the use of Aluminum Sulfate
6 USE OF ABSORBENTS/NEUTRALIZERS

• Battery charging operation

- Sulphuric acid is being neutralized with soda ash before disposal

• Materials for Clean-up & Control

- Saw dust

- Dry sand

- Rags

- Oil boom

- Absorbent Pad
 7 SPILL RESPONSE GUIDE
Once a spill is noticed:

• Shout spill! Spill!! Spill!! To attract others

- Notify all concerned (Including HSE)

- Identify source of spill or leaks

- Stop source of spill

- Contain spill

- Clean-up

- Disposal of contaminated materials

 8 RESPONSE FLOW CHART
• Release To Water or Soil Contamination

Oil Diesel
- Call departmental manager on channel xxx.
- Call safety on channel x
- Call Company emergency unit on channel xx
- Identify the source/shut down the source.
- Contain the spread
- Arrange for clean up
- Follow disposal procedures
- Make written report
 9 WHAT IS WASTE?

• Left over materials from the

office, site and camps that are
not useful in its present state
and needs to be disposed off
10 TYPES OF WASTES

Common wastes that are generated in the project are;

• Wood • Gaskets, glass waste etc.
• Used engine oil • Sewage

• Used batteries • Kitchen waste

• Used tyres • Clinical waste

• Oily cotton rag • Paper

• Oil contaminated sand • Carton

• Metal scrap • Plastic

11 WASTE MANAGEMENT

• Involves all the necessary

procedure, practices, storage
methods etc. That are put
in place for the effective
control of waste

13 WASTE DISPOSAL

Sewage - Treated & discharged

Kitchen waste - Incinerated

Clinical waste - Incinerated

Paper waste - Incinerated / Recycled

Plastic waste - Recycled

Wooden waste - Recycled

Used engine oil - Disposal by approved

Agency
14 WASTE DISPOSAL

Used batteries - Recycled

Used tyres - Disposed

Oily cotton rag - Incinerated

Metal scrap - Recycled

Gasket - Disposed

Glass wastes - Recycled

15 WASTE MANAGEMENT TIPS

• Reduce production of waste

• Segregate waste

• Recycle waste

• Disposed off waste

• Conserve resources
16 WASTE MANAGEMENT

• Waste management aim is to gradually reduce

waste with the aim of eliminating those that have
the potential to cause harm to people and the
environment.

• It is criminal offence to dispose hazardous waste to

nature or cause harm to the environment.
17 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
Dust Pollution during Construction Phase
• Adequately sprinkle the area with water especially the road under
construction to suppress or minimize dust.Water sprinkling of
construction areas shall be done twice a day, morning and
afternoon on a regular basis.

Body of Water
• Protect all forms of body of water around the site that will be
affected during the construction period this includes river, sea,
swamp or lakes.
• No waste water coming from the construction site will be
discharged to this body of water without proper treatment or
tested to be safe and will not harm any form of living things in the
environment.
18 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

Noise Control
• Administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program, as
described in the procedure, whenever employee noise exposures
equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85
decibels measured.
19 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

• Hazards of Exposure to noise

• Exposure to noise can have the following consequences;
• Causes annoyance and irritation
• Affects concentration and efficiency
• Causes fatigue and accident proneness
• Prevents ear from registering other sounds, instructions and
warnings
• Short exposure to excess noise causes damage to the inner ear
and permanent loss of hearing
20 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

• Limiting Exposure to noise can be reduced by:

• Engineering and control methods (e.g. installation of silencer,
sound controlled equipment enclosure, replacing equipment
with a low noise producing equipment if possible)
• Job rotation
• Providing rest rooms or acoustic refuges
• Re-arranging work locations
• PPE (ear plug, ear muffs)
21 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

Soil Erosion
• The excavated or embanked area, shoulder on side slopes or borrow
pits are the area where soil erosion are likely to occur during heavy
rain.To avoid soil erosion, all exposed surface shall be regressed or
covered by stone pitching, lining concrete, spill way and compaction of
the embankment area shall be carried out.

Operating Procedures:
• The operating procedures for various operations such as Acid
neutralization,Auto Effluent Grease pit operation, Batching plant
effluent neutralization should be displayed at the corresponding
locations.The operating personnel in the corresponding locations
should be trained to operate the above procedures.
22 SUMMARY

• Minimizse construction waste, and then dispose it to the

designated area
• Implement waste segregation ang recycling
• Minimize the source of pollution by establishing target of saving
energy and resources
• Strive that there is no environmental accident and violation of
environmental legislation and regulation
• Environmental policy shall be open to the public as well as
internal
• Each employee should understand and comply with the policy,
and shall actively participate in and make utmost efforts to the
environmental management activity
