are going to construct, maintain, clean, repair, dismantle or demolish the structures and
anyone else like adjoining road users/general public, who may be affected by the work.
4.3.1.5.7. When considering health and safety in designer’s work, they shall be expected to do what
is reasonable at the time the design is prepared. It may be possible for hazards, which
cannot be addressed at the feasibility stage to be looked at during detailed design. In
deciding what is reasonably practicable, the risk to health and safety produced by a
feature of the design has to be weighed against the cost of excluding the feature. The
overall design process does not need to be dominated by a concern to avoid all risks
during the construction phase and maintenance. However, a judgement has to be made
by weighing up one consideration against another, so the cost is counted not just in
financial terms, but also those of fitness for purpose, aesthetics, buildability or
environmental impact. By applying these principles, it may be possible to make decisions
at the design stage, which will avoid or reduce risks during construction work. In many
cases, the large number of design considerations will allow a number of equally valid
design solutions. What is important is the approach to the solutions of design problems.
This should involve a proper exercise of judgement, which takes account of health and
safety issues.
4.3.1.5.8. Designers shall need, so far as reasonably practicable, to avoid or reduce risks by
applying a series of steps known as the hierarchy of risk control or principles of prevention
and protection. The steps to be adopted shall include the following:
i.Consider if the hazard can be prevented from arising so that the risk can be avoided
(e.g. alter the design to avoid the risk);
ii. If this cannot be achieved, the risk should be combated at source (eg, ensure the
design details of items to be lifted include attachment points for lifting);
iii.Failing this, priority should be given to measures to control the risk that will collectively
protect all people;
iv.Only as a last resort should measures to control risk by means of personal protection
be assumed (E.g. use of safety harnesses).
4.3.1.5.9. In case of situations were the designers have carried out the design work and concluded
that there are risks, which were not reasonably practicable to avoid, detailed information
shall be given about the health and safety risks, which remain. This information needs to
be included within the design assessment to alert others to the risks, which they cannot
reasonably be expected to know. This is essential for the parties who have to use the
design information.
4.3.1.5.10. If the designers’ basic design assumptions affect health or safety, or health and safety
risks are not obvious from the standard design document, the designer shall provide
additional information. The information shall include a broad indication of the
assumptions about the precautions for dealing with the risks. The information will need
to be conveyed in a clear manner; it shall be included on drawings, in written

4.8.1 CMRL has built an image of safety conscious organisation meticulously over a period

property damage. These accidents not only result in loss of life but also damage the
reputation of CMRL. Most of the accidents are avoidable and caused preliminary due
to contractors’ negligence. Hence CMRL shall recover the cost of damages from the
contractors for every reportable incident (fatality / injury).
4.8.2 In addition, every CMRL work site is exposed to public scrutiny as the work is executed
just on the right-of-way. Any unsafe act / unsafe condition observed by public further
damages our reputation. Because of the non-voluntary compliance of contractors to the
Employer’s ESHS requirements or Employer’s direct instructions and project H&S
manual, CMRL has been forced to establish safety-enforcing organisation. The cost of
established such organisation is to be recovered from contractors for all observed safety
violations at sites.

/ unsafe condition) and charges to be recovered from contractors.

15. INDUSTRIAL HEALTH AND WELFARE
15.1 Introduction
15.1.1 Hazards to Health on a construction site can arise from the use of a number of
materials, substances, and processes if they are not properly controlled. Some of the
more serious risks are caused by the inhalation of dusts, fibres, toxic fumes, by the
misuse of chemicals, lasers, and radioactive isotopes. Excessive vibration and
excessive noise can also cause ill health. Many man-days are lost as a result of
dermatitis, tenosynovitis, bronchitis, and rheumatism.
15.1.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining healthy working conditions for all
his\her, and his\her sub-contractors, workers. In particular he shall pay attention to the
effects of noise, dust, air pollution and the use of chemicals. If it is not possible to
remove the cause of harm, then suitable and sufficient Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) should be provided to those workers who could be affected.
15.1.3 If the use of PPE is the only means of providing protection the Contractor shall ensure
that all the workers affected are properly trained in the use of the PPE and that
adequate supervision is provided to ensure its proper use.
15.2 Hazardous Substances
15.2.1 The Contractor shall obtain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all substances
that are deemed to be hazardous to be used on site. An inventory shall be kept of all
such materials with the relevant MSDS and shall be available for inspection by the
Employer / Engineer who may require further MSDS’s to be obtained.
15.2.2 The Contractor shall conduct an assessment of the substance in relation to its intended
usage on site. Particular attention must be given to the actual location of usage as a
substance, which is safe for use in the open air, may be extremely hazardous in a
confined space. The results of all assessments shall be recorded, and method
statements produced.
15.2.3 The objective of the assessment is to establish what precautions and control measures
shall be implemented in order that a safe system of work can be established for the
use of the substance on site.
15.2.4 The Employer /Engineer may require the removal of any hazardous substance or
chemical if there are safer alternatives. In such events, the Contractor shall not be
entitled to any claim for compensation or Extension of Time for Completion.
15.2.5 The Contractor shall ensure that all hazardous substance and chemical containers are
labelled, its movement is recorded and returned to the designated storage areas when
not in use.
15.3 Noise
15.3.1 Industrial deafness is caused by over exposure to high levels of noise from plant,
machinery, or construction processes. Once a part of a person’s hearing has been lost
it can never be recovered. Deafness can also lead to further accidents on site with
workers being unable to hear warnings and other instructions.
15.3.2 The Use of hearing protection should be enforced when the equivalent sound level
over 8Hrs reaches 85 dB(A), the peak sound levels reach 140dB(C) or the average

digging any excavations Contractors should plan against the following;
(a) Collapse of the sides;
Part-2 - Section VII Works Requirements
Section VII
Sub-Section F –ESHS Volume 2 Health & Safety Manual
2-35 Sign & Stamp of Tenderer
(b) Materials falling onto people working in the excavation;
(c) People and vehicles falling into the excavation;
(d) People being struck by plant;
(e) Undermining nearby structures;
(f) Contact with underground services.
(g) Fumes; and
(h) Make sure the necessary equipment needed such as trench sheets, props, etc.,
are available on site before work starts.
17.3 General Precautions
17.3.1 The following precautions should be observed;
(a) Prevent the sides and the ends from collapsing by battering them to a safe angle
or supporting them with timber, sheeting or proprietary support systems.
(b) Do not go into unsupported excavations.
(c) Never work ahead of the support.
(d) Remember that even work in shallow trenches can be dangerous. You may need
to provide support if the work involves bending or kneeling in the trench.
(e) Prevention of materials falling into excavations
(f) Do not store spoil or other materials within one metre of the sides of excavations.
The spoil may fall into the excavation and the extra loading will make the sides
more prone to collapse.
(g) Make sure the edges of the excavation are protected against falling materials.
Provide toe boards where necessary.
(h) Wear a hard hat when working in excavations.
(i) Take steps to prevent people falling into excavations. If the excavation is 2 m or
more deep, provide substantial barriers, e.g. guard rails and toe boards.
(j) Keep vehicles away from excavations wherever possible. Use brightly painted
baulks or barriers where necessary.
(k) Where vehicles have to tip materials into excavations, use stop blocks to prevent
them from over-running. Remember that the sides of the excavation may need
extra support.
17.4 Undermining nearby structures
17.4.1 The following precautions should be taken to prevent the undermining of nearby structures;
(a) Make sure excavations do not affect the footings of scaffolds or the foundations
of nearby structures. Walls may have very shallow foundations, which can be
undermined by even small trenches.
(b) Decide if the structure needs temporary support before digging starts. Surveys
of the foundations and the advice of a structural engineer may be needed.
17.5 Avoiding underground services
17.5.1 The following precautions should be taken to avoid underground services;
(a) Look around for obvious signs of underground services, e.g. valve covers or
patching of the road surface.
(b) Use locators to trace any services by utility detector kit. Mark the ground accordingly.
(c) Make sure that the person supervising excavation work has service plans and
Part-2 - Section VII Works Requirements
Section VII
Sub-Section F –ESHS Volume 2 Health & Safety Manual
2-36 Sign & Stamp of Tenderer
knows how to use them. Everyone carrying out the work should know about safe

Part-2 - Section VII Works Requirements
Section VII
Sub-Section F –ESHS Volume 2 Health & Safety Manual
2-50 Sign & Stamp of Tenderer
in a well ventilated area at ground level on a firm level surface at least 3m away from
any cellars, drains, excavations or other hollows where vapour may collect. There
should be good access to the area, which should be kept clean and clear of
combustible material, including wood, packing materials and vegetation. If any
protection is provided to prevent cylinders being exposed to the weather, it should be
of non-combustible material and should not inhibit ventilation. The area should not be

those of full cylinders and that plugs, shrouds and caps are kept in place on all
cylinders. This is necessary not only to prevent the escape of any residual compressed
gas into the atmosphere but also to ensure that air is not sucked into the cylinder to
form an explosive mixture inside it. All cylinders should be stored with their valves
uppermost.
22.1.5 The storage area should be enclosed by a fence approximately 2 metres in height. The
fence should be made of non-combustible material and should not inhibit natural
ventilation, particularly at low level - a wire mesh fence is particularly suitable for this

22.2.1 Cylinders should be handled with care and wherever practicable moved on specially
designed trolleys. The valve on a cylinder should not be used for lifting or to lever the
cylinder into position. Damage to the valve can result in highly dangerous situations
following the escape of gas. For the same reason throwing or dropping cylinders should
be prohibited as in such circumstances damage to the valve is even more likely.
22.2.2 Before connecting any cylinder or container of compressed gas to equipment it is
essential that all fires, flames or other sources of ignition in the vicinity, including
cigarettes and pilot lights, are extinguished. Where practicable cylinders should be
changed in the open air. The cylinder should be examined and any damaged or faulty
cylinder should NOT be used. No attempt should be made to rectify any fault or
damage. The cylinder should be put in a safe place away from other cylinders or
combustible materials until returned to the supplier.
22.2.3 If a cylinder is found to be leaking and the leak cannot be stopped, the cylinder should
Part-2 - Section VII Works Requirements
Section VII
Sub-Section F –ESHS Volume 2 Health & Safety Manual

be carefully removed to a well-ventilated open space free from sources of ignition. It
should be left with the leak, usually at the valve, uppermost, marked faulty and notices
displayed prohibiting smoking or other naked lights. General access should be
prevented by barriers or otherwise. The supplier of the cylinder should be informed
immediately. Under no circumstances should users attempt to dismantle or repair
defective cylinders.
22.3 Regulators
22.3.1 Regulators should be suitable for the gas and pressure in use. Checks for leaks at the
regulator nuts should be made only by using soapy water. In the event of a defect or
of any damage to a regulator, no attempt should be made to repair it. Such repairs
should only be carried out by specialists.
22.4 Hoses
22.4.1 Flexible tubing should only be used for final connections to appliances. Flexible hoses
should comply with BS 3212, BS 5120 or other nationally recognised standard. They
should be additionally protected or of steel braid reinforced construction wherever they
might be subject to damage by abrasion and so sited that they are not exposed to
excessive heat. The length of hoses should be kept as short as practicable

MARS AUDIT SCORE SHEET FOR THE MONTH OF ..... 2020
Date of Audit: Contrator: Project Name:
Project Manager: Chief Safety Manager :
Site Conditions:
Points will be objectively awarded by the Group 6 personnel based upon site safety and environment
conditions. Scoring will be as follows: Excellent (E) = 10, Good (G) = 8, Average (A) = 6, Fail (F) = 0,
Non-Conformance (NC) = -10 with the exception of those sections marked with an asterisk which will
have a factor of 2 thus doubling the score for that section.
All non-compliance within the heavy bordered areas will receive an Action Notice at the required level.
All Suspended Operations Notices will be referred to the Project Manager, who will visit site within 24
hours to carry out further safety inspections.
Any non applicable topic and the corresponding “possible score” will not be marked, and the score will
be calculated by recognising the relevant possible score as being 100% and the actual score as a
percentage of this.

1. Introduction
Significant success has been made in India in developing and enforcing
environmental regulations in many areas. However, there still remain a number of
areas that have not yet seen the promulgation of Environmental Standards and
Regulations. Many of these areas have a high potential for adverse environmental
impact if allowed to go unregulated. As the CMRL undertakes to build this Metro
system it shall institute and enforce adequate environmental standards to provide
for the protection of the people and the environment.
In response, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable Indian laws and
regulations to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts from the construction
activities. Based on the Employer’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report
the Contractor shall conduct an analysis of the environmental Impacts and
implement suitable measures to mitigate the adverse impacts so as to comply with
all the Environmental Standards & Regulations. All appropriate categories/areas,
such as air quality, noise, water quality, vibration etc. are to be considered in the
environmental analysis. The Contractor will have to undertake Environmental
Monitoring and Audit during construction to measure the environmental impacts.
Should the impact measurements exceed the respective limits set forth in EIA
Report, the Contractor shall be required to review and implement effective
measures so as to ensure that the impact of the construction works will not exceed
the respective limits set forth in the EIA report.
The Contractor shall be responsible for the total compliance of the Environmental
Protection safeguards as elaborated in this Environmental Management
Arrangements.
1.1 The ‘Environmental Management Arrangements’ (EMA) document forms an
essential part of the overall Environmental Protection System employed by CMRL
for the construction of the Chennai Metro Rail Project – Phase 2.
1.2 The EMA has been prepared to facilitate construction progress while ensuring
fulfilment of environmental commitments. It provides systematic procedures for
monitoring and minimizing environmental impacts that may arise from the
construction activities.
1.3 The EMA will apply to all construction works of the Chennai Metro Rail Project
carried out by the Contractors and Sub-contractors.
1.4 The primary reason for adopting the EMA approach is to make the Contractor
aware of his environmental responsibilities and to ensure his\her commitment to
achieving the specified standards.
1.5 The CMRL EMA is meant to be a living document that will be updated as design
and construction progresses and when further environmental issues are identified.
1.6 Periodic reviews of the plan and procedures will be performed to ensure continual
improvement of the Plan’s adequacy and it will be expanded and updated during
the project duration.
1.7 Because the work potentially involves build contracts, this EMA is intended to be
flexible and tailored to match highly variable construction activities and locations
throughout the project.

2. Purpose & Scope
2.1 The purpose of this Environmental Management Arrangements is to make the
Contractors aware of the environmental concerns of CMRL, and to establish
guidelines for the application of environmental controls during the construction of
the project.
2.2 The Environmental Management Arrangements is intended to translate into
practice, three important principles of CMRL’s mandate, which the construction
activities should not:
Inconvenience or endanger public
Create a permanent visual eyesore
Result in unmitigated ecological or environmental degradation
2.3 The EMA is intended to guide and assist the Contractors in exploring all reasonable
and feasible means for reducing construction related environmental impacts as
they prepare and produce contract-specific Aspect / Impact Assessments and Site
Environmental Plans.
2.4 The EMA stipulates environmental controls that in lieu of alternative controls
specified by the Contractor must be applied.
2.5 Environmental controls adopted by the individual contractors as an alternative to
the measures identified herein must be as protective of the environment.
2.6 The scope of the EMA is to establish procedures to:
Supervise Contractor’s compliance with defined environmental control criteria
by carrying out reviews of monitored impact data
Oversee the procedure for identification of mitigation measures, their design
and implementation
Carry out environmental monitoring emissions during construction through an
impact monitoring programme
Undertake additional ad hoc monitoring if required, to address specific instances
3. Objective
3.1 The various components included in the EMA along with the Employer’s
Representative requirements on Environment will form the basis of an
Environmental Management System to be implemented by CMRL, which will
enable it to manage the environmental challenges and resolve environmental
issues posed during construction of Chennai Metro Rail project.
3.2 The main objectives are to:
Provide database from which environmental impacts of the project can be
determined.

10.3 Containment of Noise and Vibration
(a) Construction of facilities and structures would require the use of equipment,
which may generate high noise levels and adversely affect noise sensitive
receivers.
(b) In assessing the impact of construction noise and hence its containment, the
nature and level of activities that generate noise, the pathway through which
noise travels, the sensitivity of the receptor, and the period of exposure should
be considered.
(c) Environmental noise is measured in decibels (dB). To better approximate the
range of sensitivity of the human ear to sounds of different frequencies, the A-
weighted decibel scale (dBA) was devised. As the human ear is less sensitive
to low frequency sounds, the A-scale de-emphasizes these frequencies by
incorporating frequency weighting of the sound signal. When the A-scale is
used, the decibel levels are represented by dBA.
(d) On this scale, the range of human hearing extends from about 3 dBA to about
Part-2 - Section VII Works Requirements
Section VII
Sub section F ESHS Volume 3 Environmental Management Arrangement
3-15 Sign & Stamp of Tenderer
140 dBA. A 10-dBA increase is judged by most people as a doubling of the
sound level.
(e) To the extent required to meet the noise limits the Contractor shall use
reasonable efforts to include noise reduction measures listed below to minimize
construction noise emission levels. Noise reduction measures – include, but
not limited to the following:
(i) Minimize the use of impact devices, such as jackhammers, and pavement
breakers. Where possible, use concrete crushers or pavement saws for
tasks such as concrete deck removal and retaining wall demolition.

breakers with acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds recommended by
the manufacturers thereof, to meet relevant noise limitations.
(iii) Pneumatic impact tools and equipment used at the construction site shall
have intake and exhaust mufflers recommended by the manufacturers
thereof, to meet relevant noise limitations.
(iv) Provide mufflers or shield panelling for other equipment, including internal
combustion engines, recommended by manufacturers thereof.
(v) Employ prefabricated structures instead of assembling on-site.
(vi) Use construction equipment manufactured or modified to dampen noise
and vibration emissions, such as:
Use electric instead of diesel-powered equipment.

(f) Maximize physical separation, as far as practicable, between noise generators
and noise receptors. Separation includes following measures:
Provide enclosures for stationary items of equipment and barriers around
particularly noisy areas on site.
Locating stationary equipment in such a way, so as to minimize noise and
vibration impact on community.
(g) To the extent feasible, configure the construction site in a manner that keeps
noisier equipment and activities as far as possible away from noise sensitive
locations and nearby buildings. Plant and equipment known to emit noise
strongly in one direction should where possible, be oriented in a direction away
from noise sensitive receptor and reduce the number of plant and equipment
operating in critical areas close to noise sensitive receptors.
(h) Scheduling truck loading, unloading, and hauling operations in such a way so
as to minimize noise impact near noise sensitive locations and surrounding
communities.

level near noise sensitive receptors such as residences, schools, hospitals and
similar areas where calmness is essential, should be regulated, especially at
nighttime.
(q) Select truck routes for muck disposal so that noise from heavy-duty trucks will
have minimal impact on sensitive areas (e.g., residential) and submit to the
Employer’s Representative for notice of no objection:
Conduct truck loading, unloading and hauling operations in a manner such
that noise and vibration are kept to a minimum.
Route construction equipment and vehicles carrying soil, concrete or other
materials over streets and routes that will cause least disturbance to residents
in vicinity of work.

(r) The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new generator sets (up to
1000 KVA) run on diesel, shall be 75 dB(A) at one metre from the enclosure
surface.
(s) For existing diesel generator sets, the noise from the DG set shall be controlled
by providing an acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the room for DG
sets. Such acoustic enclosures/acoustically treated rooms shall be so designed
for minimum 25 dB(A) insertion loss or for meeting the ambient noise
standards, whichever is on higher side.

equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level (Leq) measured in decibels (dB). The
two statistical sound levels L10 and L90; the level exceeded for 10 and 90 percent of
the time respectively, shall also be recorded during monitoring. The L90 may be
considered as the ambient level into which the L10 as average peak level intrudes.
The Lmax, Leq, L10 and L90 values will be reported in the noise measurement form
Part-2 - Section VII Works Requirements
Section VII
Sub section F ESHS Volume 3 Environmental Management Arrangement
3-35 Sign & Stamp of Tenderer
along with allowable noise limit. The duration of monitoring shall be on hourly basis
for 24hours.
19.10 In no case shall the Contractor expose the public to construction noise levels
exceeding 85 dBA(slow) or to impulsive noise levels with a peak sound pressure
level exceeding 140 dB as measured on an impulse sound level meter. The use of
hearing protection should be enforced actively when the equivalent sound level
over 8 hours reaches 85 dB(A), the peak sound levels reach 140 dB(C), or the
average maximum sound level reaches 110dB(A). Hearing protective devices
provided should be capable of reducing sound levels at the ear to at least 85
dB(A).”;
19.11 Limit for construction noise is based on the existing ambient noise levels in areas
adjoining the construction sites. If the measured noise levels exceed the noise
limits, the noise levels shall be reduced by appropriate abatement measures.
19.12 The noise levels emanating from any source during construction, shall not exceed
10 dB(A) or more above existing ambient pre-construction noise levels when
measured at a point outside the premises of the location of source. The same may
be varied from time to time by and at the sole discretion of the Employer’s
Representative.
19.13 The construction activities shall be limited to levels measured at a distance of 200
feet from the construction limits or at the nearest affected building, whichever is
closer, as given in Table - 4.

19.16 Should the impact monitoring record noise levels which are:
indicative of a deteriorating situation such that closer monitoring is reasonably
indicated, or
when in the opinion of the Employer’s Representative additional measurements
are required in view of deteriorating noise environment,
then, the Employer’s Representative may require the Contractor to increase the
frequency of impact monitoring at any one or more of the monitoring stations until
the results indicate an improving and acceptable level of noise.
19.17 The Contractor shall inform the Employer’s Representative of all steps taken to
investigate cause of non-conformance and immediate action taken to avoid further
occurrences through written reports and proposals for action.
19.18 The Contractor shall submit a copy of monitoring results. The results should
represent a statistical evaluation of data for evaluation of trends and comparison
Part-2 - Section VII Works Requirements
Section VII
Sub section F ESHS Volume 3 Environmental Management Arrangement

with noise emission standards.
19.19 Noise impacts should not exceed the CPCB standards described for 4 land types,
or result in a maximum increase in background levels of 3 dB at the nearest
receptor location off-site. Where the Employer’s Representative determines that
the recorded Noise level is significantly greater than the acceptable levels, the
Employer’s Representative may direct the Contractor to take effective remedial
measures including, but not limited to, reviewing noise sources and modifying
working procedures.
19.20 Protection against the effects of noise exposure should be provided when the
sound levels exceed those shown in Table No. 6 below when measured on the A-
scale of a standard sound level meter at slow response.
19.21 When employees are subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in the Table
No. 7 feasible administrative or engineering controls should be utilized.
19.22 If such controls fail to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table, personal
protective equipment shall be provide and used to reduce sound levels within the
levels of the table.

19.23 When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise
exposure of different levels, their combined effect should be considered, rather
than the individual effect of each. Exposure to different levels for various periods
of time shall be computed according to the formula as given below.
Fe = (T1/L1) +(T2/T2) +…+(Tn/Ln)
where, Fe= the equivalent nose
exposure factor.
T= the period of noise exposure at any essentially constant level.
L = the duration of the permissible noise exposure at the
constant level (from Table)
If the value of f exceeds unity (1) the exposure exceeds permissible levels.
19.24 A sample computation showing an application of the above formula is as follows.
An employee is exposed at these levels of these periods:

dB(A) 1/2
hours. Then,
Fe = 0.500 +0.25 +0.188
Fe = 0.938
Since the value of Fe does not exceed unity, the exposure is within permissible limits.
19.25 The vibration level limits at work sites adjacent to the alignment shall conform to
permit values of peak particle velocity as give in Table No. 8.

Points will be objectively awarded by Environmental Personnel based upon site Environmental conditions.
Scoring will be as follows: Excellent (E) = 10, Good (G) = 8, Average (A) = 6, Fail (F) = 0, Non-Compliance (NC) = -10.
All non-compliance within the heavy bordered areas will receive an Action Notice at the required level.
All Suspended Operations Notices will be referred to the Project Manager, who will visit site within 24 hours to carry out further environment inspections.
Any non applicable topic and the corresponding “possible score” will not be marked and the score will be calculated by recognising the relevant possible score as
being 100% and the actual score as a percentage of this.
