and timely manner.
1.10 Occupational Health & Safety:
Construction workers will be faced occupational health hazards such as minor or
major injuries due to lack of general safety requirements and precautions applicable
for such sites, malfunctioning equipment, careless use of equipment and vehicles etc.
At the construction camps for all large sized project packages, houses will be
constructed for temporary accommodation for about 100 workers. Poorly designed
11 | P a g e
temporary camps and sanitation facilities may pose a health threat and nuisance to the
workers. Uncontrolled vending of food and drinking water on the work site may also
pose a risk with respect to the distribution of contagious diseases like Typhoid,
Diarrhea, Malaria, Dengue, etc. Construction workers will be required to handle
hazardous materials for the construction works.
A proper Occupational H&S Plan should be prepared prior to start construction by the
Contractors & follow it to avoid health hazard of the workers. Fast Aid Box and
Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) such as ear plugs, helmets, hand gloves, safety
shoes and belts, goggles, raincoats (during rains) etc. should be provided for the
workers for all construction sites of the DPDC. The safety belts and harnesses must
be worn by the workers, working at heights (such as OHTs, buildings etc.) at all times
and safe anchorage points provided. In case of major accident, transport should be
made available to take the patient to the nearest hospital in Dhaka & Narayangonj
Cities. The H&S Manager should be engaged for the construction period of the
project. The workers operating the equipment and drivers driving the construction
vehicles at construction site should be skilled. Proper H&S signboards and
appropriate information to the local people about the construction activities should be
provided.
Occupational Health, Safety, accident and training upon those.
As mentioned earlier, a considerable staff will be involved with O&M of the WS
activities. There could be H&S risks of the staff that may occur during the stay of
workers at the working places these are mainly:
- Fire hazards from loose electric lines/cooking stoves/ careless handling of
materials that can generate fire;
- Inadequate lighting and ventilation in and outside the WS complexes;
- Frequent load shading of power due to inadequate power supply ;
- Lack of daily cleaning and regular maintenance of the WS complexes;
- Noise pollution due to electro mechanical equipment;&
- Use of hazardous chemicals by the workers for purification of water.
The above mentioned all H&S risks must be considered adequately during designing
of the DPDC infrastructure and implement accordingly during construction. Full time
first aid facilities and an experienced H&S Manager should be available. Based on the
nature & location of job, provide PPE such as helmet, hand glove, safety shoes, ear
plug, mask, raincoat & safety belt for working above the GL to each worker. Training
on H&S should be provided for all staff. In case of any accidents, the victim must be
sent to nearest city hospital/ health center for proper treatment. Electro-mechanical
equipment must be kept in closed concrete house/chamber.
12 | P a g e
Training:
Contractor`s arrange short training on Health and safety and also on any accident
occurred to take necessary action, such as the victim must be provide Fast Aid and
sent to the nearest Hospital or clinic.
Construction of Power distribution Sites:
No any adverse negative environmental impact occurred at the sites of
construction of power distribution lines.
Statistics of Accident during construction work.
Up to date no any accident occurred at any construction sites.
2. METHODOLOGY:
The compliance monitoring of the project has been carried out following important
environmental and social component during the field investigation. Methodology for the
investigation of each component are given below:
2.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT:
Ambient Air Quality
To assess the baseline condition of the ambient air in the project area, the air has been
sampled and analyzed at spots, using machine and expert. Ambient Air Quality has
been continuously monitored for xx NOSOCo ,, and particulate matter (PM2.5 and
PM10) and suspended particulate matter (SPM) following the standard method.
NOISE LEVEL
Noise monitoring most important for any big construction activity as excessive noise
may create disturbance to the wild life, indigenous species, fragile ecosystems,
communal stability in case of sudden intrusion and workers due to construction
activities and subsequent increase traffic movement.
The ambient noise level has been monitored monthly sensitive receptors around the
construction sites of this project. Each time noise level has been recorded using
portable noise level meter for a two minutes time span at 5 minutes interval depending
on the site condition. Noise level meter for a two minutes time span at 5 minutes
interval depending on the site condition. Noise level recorded at time only as the
construction works held only at day light hour. A probable increase in noise level in
the same area may provide the tools for assessment of impact on environment.
13 | P a g e
Waste Management
Infrastructure work for any development, usually generate variable quantities and
types of waste materials which have the potential to cause adverse environmental
impacts during generation, storage, transport and disposal. For this reason, the project
aims to implement waste management procedures immediately after the
commencement of the civil works in order to maintain minimum potential impacts to
the environment. The projects sites were observed visually during sites visit to
investigate concerns related to waste disposal.
2.2 Ecosystem and Biodiversity Conservation:
All the sub-station sites and also expansion of distribution network sites are in urban
area of Dhaka and Narayanganj City, so urban ecosystem as well as vegetation and
wild life are major components for ecological monitoring, various types of herbs and
shrubs are observed in this area but no trees have found in any project sites.
2.3 Socio-Economic Environment:
Livelihood and living
Livelihood and employment condition of those primary stakeholders were monitored
through in depth observation, group discussion and key information interview. Local
people stated that the project does not pose any threat to the existing livelihood, rather
it appears as blessing, It will facilitate to install new industries which in turn, would
create scope of employment for local people. The present livelihood and living
condition of surrounded people of project area have been identified and will also be
updated at the next stage of monthly environment compliance monitoring.
COMMUNITY HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY
All the contractor will develop a first aid medical center for immediate treatment. in
case of emergency the patient will be transferred to the nearest hospital by the
contractor.
Labour and their working condition
During construction labor and their working condition was monitored based on
observation and consultation with labors and others like that whose are involved with
the construction works.
At the stage of construction work such as. cast in situ pilling, basement, Frame
structural works, slab casting etc. are very tough works for the labors and supervision
staff, congenial and standard engineering working practices were practiced at the sites
14 | P a g e
however the contractor committed to commence standard engineering practices at all
the working sites.
Attempts were made to identify socio-economic constraints and environmental issues
related to sub-stations and expansion of distribution network construction.
It is essential to draw the attention on ensuring adequate accommodation facilities
using safe drinking water, hygienic sanitation and proper medical facilities for labors,
Living, sanitation and bathing facilities (inside the project side). The project authority
stated that all these facilities will be improved, but senario of the above mentioned
facilities remain unchanged whereas working is now in the middle stage. So it is a
matter of concern of the project priority to pursue the contractors as well as sub-
contractors to ensure standard accommodation facilities for the laborers.
Numbers of safety signboards are found in all the project sites which is good
measures for decreasing accidental occurrences. Workers are also found to use
personal safety equipment (PSE). All of the workers stated that the contractor and
project authority strictly monitored this issue. For ensuring laborers safety and
security, following protective. Laborers safety and security, following protective
equipment should be provided as per their requirement and working activity.
Present practice in the project sites is specified in separate coloumn in the following

3.2 Social Safeguard Compliance Status:
3.2.1 Compensation
DPDC has not needed to paid any compensation for the land, because they has own
land for the construction of 22 nos. of sub-station (8 nos. sub-stations, ADB Financed)
and construction and extension of distribution network of North South zone project.
3.2.2 Livelihood and Employment:
Social safeguard expert during monitoring found that 5% workers are from the
locality involved in the construction work, so it is very good information that the
project has generated employment opportunity for local people through construction
activities. The working condition was not very good inside the sub-stations, because
social safeguard expert during monitoring found that almost all labors were not using
safety equipment as the safety equipment was not sufficient for all workers.
3.2.3 Occupational Health, safety and security
Contractors of all the construction sites, were and security of all the laborers. In any
case of emergency there were no any specific arrangement of doctor’s, ambulance
service to carry the injured person to nearby hospital or clinic, for better treatment.
3.2.4 Labor and working condition
The social safeguard expert during monitoring found that in all the construction sites
labor’s facilities were not upto mark. Contractors were not providing sufficient safety
equipment, adequate labors sheds drinking water, toolbox (First Aid) etc. It should be
improved.

6.6 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
6.6.1 General
Experience from past projects shows that project implementation is a complex process
involving numerous interested and aggrieved parties giving rise to likely instances of conflict,
allegations, etc. Most of the conflicts and allegations appear not to be of a serious nature but
may snowball into a bigger issue if not given adequate attention from the beginning itself.
Some of the potential points that could give rise to grievances could be related to
compensation payment, improper estimation of affected assets, failure to fulfill commitments,
poor management of construction activities, inappropriate planning of vehicle movement, and
cultural conflicts between migrant workers and local communities etc.
Therefore, it is imperative to have an internal mechanism in place where the aggrieved
party/s can lodge their complaints and get it amicably settled prior to approaching the formal
mode of solution available to them i.e. access to legal system through courts. In order to
provide a formal forum to the aggrieved parties to deal with issues arising out of project, it is
proposed that a joint grievance redress mechanism be instituted for both environmental and
social related issues.
28 | P a g e
The proposed Grievance Redress mechanism (GRM) will be developed for the Project in
order to settle as many disputes as possible through consultations. Such a mechanism is
important as it is expected that most cases, if not all, would be resolved amicably; and the
process, as a whole, will promote dispute settlement through mediation to reduce litigation.
However, the options of legal recourse will not be restricted in any way by the project
proponent.
6.6.2 Objectives of Grievance Redress Mechanism
The basic objective of the GRM shall be to provide an accessible mechanism to the affected
people, community and any stakeholder(s) having stake in the project to raise their issues and
grievances as well as concerns. The Grievance Redress Cell (GRC) shall be officially
recognized “non-judicial” body that will seek to resolve non-judicial disputes arising out of
various matters related to the implementation of the ESMP, as well as other aspects of the
project, as may deemed fit to be raised before the GRC.
The fundamental objective of GRM is to resolve any resettlement and environmental related
grievances locally in consultation with the aggrieved party to facilitate smooth
implementation of the EMP. Another important objective is to democratize the development
process at the local level and to establish accountability towards the stakeholders.
6.6.3 Composition of GRC and ULC
A grievance redress mechanism (GRM) is an arrangement for receiving, evaluating, and
facilitating resolution of affected persons concerns, complaints, and grievances about social
and environmental performance at the project level. The GRM is a trusted way to voice and
resolve concerns linked to the project, and an effective way to address affected persons’
concerns. The GRM for the Project is outlined below and consists of three levels with time-
bound schedules for addressing grievances.
The first level and most accessible and immediate venue for the fastest resolution of
grievances is the PMU, chiefly through the PMU Environmental Officer and Project Director,
with assistance from the Environmental Specialist (National) of the design and supervision
consultant (DSC). The contact phone number of the PMU will be posted in public areas in the
project area and construction sites. Grievances will be resolved through continuous
interactions with affected persons and the PMU will answer queries and resolve grievances
regarding various issues including contractor performance, environmental impacts of the
Project (noise, air, traffic, etc.), land acquisition, structures acquisition, livelihood impacts,
entitlements, and assistance. Corrective measures will be undertaken at the field-level itself
within seven (7) days. All grievances will be documented with full information of the person
(name, address, date of complaint, etc.) and the issue.
29 | P a g e
Should the grievance remain unresolved, the PMU's Project Director, will activate the second
level of the GRM by referring the issue (with written documentation) to the local Grievance
Redress Committee (GRC) of the DPDC, who will, based on review of the grievances,
address them in consultation with the PMU Resettlement Officer and Project Director and
affected persons. The local GRC will consist of the following persons:
i. Project Director, DPDC;
ii. Executive Engineer, DPDC;
iii. Affected person or representative of the affected person(s);
iv. Representative of the local District Commissioners office;
v. Representative of the Department of Environment’s (DOE) divisional office, Dhaka.
vi. DSC Environmental Specialist.
A hearing will be called with the GRC, if necessary, where the affected person can present
the concern/issues. The process will promote conflict resolution through mediation. The local
GRC will meet as necessary when there are grievances to be addressed. The local GRC will
suggest corrective measures at the field level and assign clear responsibilities for
implementing its decision within fifteen (15) days.
The functions of the local GRC are as follows:
provide support to affected persons on problems arising from land acquisition
(temporary or permanent); asset acquisition; and eligibility for entitlements,
compensation and assistance;
record grievances of affected persons, categorize and prioritize them and provide
solutions fifteen (15) days; and
report to the aggrieved parties about developments regarding their grievances and
decisions of the GRC.
The PMU Xen will be responsible for processing and placing all papers before the PMU
GRC, recording decisions, issuing minutes of the meetings and taking follow up action to see
that formal orders are issued and the decisions carried out. In the event that a grievance is not
addressed by the PMU or GRC, the affected person can seek legal redress of the grievance in
the appropriate courts, the third level of the GRM. The GRM proposed is depicted in Figure

9. Reasons for the delay of
Project implementation :
Delay in tendering process:
This turn-key project work mainly incorporates tender invitation, material purchase and installation of
the materials according to the survey performed. According to original DPP the project implementation
period was from July-2013 to June-2016. But the project work actually started after the approval from
ECNEC on 19.09.2013. After that, the tender was invited on 27.04.2014 and due to lack of eligible
bidder deadline of the tender submission had been extended twice. Finally the project contract was
signed on 11.06.2015 after the approval of the project financial evaluation report and became effective
on 20 Sep 2015.
10. Existing problems of Implementation of the project:
Because of not receiving road cutting approval from Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), 68.587
km 11kV U/G cable installation work under DSCC area cannot be started.
During construction work I observed that no any environmental negative advance impact was occurred.
During construction work there was no any Environmental negative adverse impact not
occurred.

07. CONCLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
The environmental expert has carried out the monitoring activities comprising the
monitoring of implementation of environmental management plan (EMP) and
environmental compliance with the environmental parameters. The sub-stations
Building construction work and construction of Expansion of Distribution Network of
North South Zone under DPDC are going on rabidly. Some related works were
responsible for a number of environmental issues such a spreading of dust, improper
sanitation setup and inadequate medical facilities etc. There is necessity to follow the
measures suggested in recent monitoring period, the environmental due diligence
covers; the Environmental management system and action plan, occupational Health
and safety, workers well being Biodiversity and sustainable Management of Natural
Resources. The Environmental and Social Monitoring Expert suggested
recommendation and guidelines which need to be strictly and seriously followed by
the workers and the contractors of all the sites.
To make the process more smooth and efficient, the following recommendations are
proposed by Environmental Expert to be followed with immediate effect:
The HR policy was found developed as the management of the site specific EHS
programme have been established: Occupation Health and safety policies.
Emergency preparedness and response plan: Fire prevention, protection and control
plan.
With respect to physical environment and social Monitoring expert considered that
Air Quality was quite good. This time the concentration of all the ambient air quality
monitoring parameters (SO4, NO7, CO, SPM) were found to be within the standard
limit set by ECR’97.
Though construction materials like sand and soil were not covered with polythene at
any site. This might cause dust pollution in dry condition. Hence is required to cover
the construction materials properly.
The observed noise level attains at the maximum but not crossed the limit.
It is obligatory to provide hearing protection equipment to the employees who are
exposed to loud noise.
There was no dustbin or specific disposal site in any of the sites. Hence particular
place for waste disposal should be earmarked for maintaining ambient environmental
neatness.
The Level of safety for workers must be enhanced with comprehensive enforcement
on PPE usage and regular health and safety supervision should be carried out.
64 | P a g e
There were no dustbin or specific waste disposal site at any of the construction site.
Heretic mandatory to define a particular place for waste disposal for maintaining an
effective waste management system.
Workers working condition such as accommodation, Drinking water, sanitation and
medical facilities has remained same as it was in earlier phase of monitoring.
The sanitation system for labors must be improved upto a healthy and desirable level.
The labor sheds must be improved upto a comfortable security force.
Recruitment of more local labor in the construction site would certainly improve the
economic condition of local people: Rationalized work permit system and enhanced
medical support at the site should be maintained.
Weekly Tool Box meetings on health and safety as well as the other governing
environmental and social issues should be initiated.
