Noise
Solids Waste

Control Measures

Barricade sensitive areas,
Ensure falling protection.
Use warning signboards in those areas.
Use Head protection strictly.
Provide catch on the chuck to collect foreign particle when drilling upward.
Wear necessary PPE’s i.e., goggles, hand gloves, dust mask, earplugs etc.
No worker should be asked to carry loads above his physical lifting capacity and in any case, no-load shall exceed 30 kilograms per employee.
Avoid manual handling where reasonably practical. e.g., use mechanical equipment.
Before lifting any object/weight, always assess the weight of the item to be carried.
Take help if the load is large/very heavy.
Check the line of travel. Don’t allow the load to obstruct the view.
The area should be clean, tidy well house kept and free from fall, slip and trip hazards.
Training personnel in the kinetics of manual lifting.
Use personnel protective equipment as provided. (Safety shoes, helmets, coveralls, hand gloves etc.)
Defective tools should not be issued or used to perform a task.
All portable power tools should be equipped with adequate fuse protection either in the tool body or in its electrical plug.
The weight, size and type of tool item, object or weight should be selected to suit the job being conducted.
Only those persons who have been adequately trained and experienced in the use of the tool should be allowed to use the same.
Tools should be maintained in good working condition and tested at regular intervals.
All tools & machines should be neatly and correctly stored when not in use.
The work area should be maintained in good condition, should be kept clear of loose materials and prevented from becoming slippery.
Appropriate approved personal protective equipment.
Noise measurements should be carried out where noise is produced and at other workplaces where operatives may be subject to a higher level than their work generates.
Use of alternative, less noisy tools and equipment or methods.
Appropriate ear protectors must be worn.
The waste material should be kept in one dedicated place.
All wastes should be removed from the site after the work daily.
Dispose off in specific waste bins/yards as per the requirements of [Organization/Govt. Bodies & main or sub-Contractors)].
