This chapter explains about the procedure of installing steel bordering constituent and to place the safety facet and the demand during the installing procedure of steel bordering constituent at site and to place the degree of safety during installing procedure at site.
For this chapter, definition and description of Industrialised Building System will be given. Beside that this chapter besides included history of IBS in Malaysia, installing procedure, safety demand during the installing work and more.
2.1.1 Industrialised Building System ( IBS )
Industrialised Building System is a engineering of building which there are manufactured in controlled environment, either at off site or site. And so merely transported, positioned and assembled into the building works ( CIDB, 2012 ) . There are five chief IBS groups identified in Malaysia, there are:
Abdullah and Egbu, 2009
IBS is the method of building developed due to human investing in invention and on rethinking the best manner of building work bringings based on the degree of industrialization.
Hassim et. Al, 2009
IBS is defined as an organizational procedure continuity of production, connoting a steady flow of standardization, demand, integrating of the different phases of the whole production procedure, a high grade of administration of work, and mechanization to replace human labor wherever possible.
Chung, 2007
IBS is defined as a mass production of edifice constituents, either at site or in the mill, harmonizing to the specification with a standard form and dimensions and so transporting them to the building site to be re-arranged to a certain criterion to organize a edifice.
Badir et.al, 2002
IBS is defined as a construct of mass production of quality edifice by utilizing new constructing systems and mill produced edifice constituent.
Haron et.al, 2005
IBS besides defined as a new building method that can increase the quality and productiveness of work through the usage of better equipment, stuffs, works and machinery and extended undertaking planning.
Zulkefle, 2007
Defined IBS as a set of interconnected elements that act together to enable the designated public presentation of a edifice.
Therefore, from the information I get they say that Industrialised Building System ( IBS ) is a procedure of the steel frame constituent are manufactured in the mill with standard demand and so transported to the occupation site for installing to be assemble together to organize a edifice.
Other than that, it is interesting to observe that the term Industrialised Building System ” ( IBS ) is frequently misunderstand as systems limited merely for building of edifice. But IBS really covers all types of constructions as the word edifice really related to building ( Shaari and Elias 2003 ) .
2.1.2 History of IBS in Malaysia
IBS were introduced in Malaysia in 1960 ‘s after the Ministry of Housing and Local Government of Malaysia visited several European states and measure their lodging development plan ” ( Thanoon et.al,2003 ) .
After their visit in twelvemonth 1964, the first undertaking utilizing IBS had started by the authorities. To construct quality and low-cost house and rush up the bringing clip were the purpose for this undertaking. About 22.7 estates of land along the Jalan Pekeliling, Kuala Lumpur was devoted to the undertaking consisting 7 blocks of 17 narratives level, 3000 units of low-priced level and 40 stores lot. This undertaking was awarded to JV Gammon & A ; Larsen and Neilsen utilizing big panel precast concrete wall and board slabs. The undertaking was completed within 27 month including the clip taken in the building of RM2.5 million projecting pace at Jalan Damansara ( CIDB, 2006 ; CIDB, 2003 and Thanoon et Al, 2003 ) .
The 2nd lodging undertaking initiated by the authorities comprise of 3 block of 18 narratives flats and 6 blocks of 17 narratives flats at Jalan Fifle Range, Penang in twelvemonth 1965. Hochtief and Chee Seng was awarded by utilizing Gallic Estoit System ( CIDB,2006 ; CIDB, 203 and Din, 1984 ) .
Another earliest IBS undertaking was at Taman Tun Sardon, Penang ( 1,000 units of five floors walk up falt ) . IBS precast constituent and system in the undertaking was designed by British Research Establishment for low cost lodging utilizing precast system. A similar system was constructed at Edmonton, North London. About 20,000 precast homes were constructed throughout UK from 1964 to 1974 ( CIDB, 2006 ) . However, the edifice design was really basic and non sing the facet of serviceableness ( Rahman and Omar, 2006 ) .
Many building in the undermentioned old ages utilised precast wall panel system. One can detect that IBS was engage at first topographic point in the building of low cost high rise residential edifice to get the better of the increasing demand for lodging demands ( CIDB, 2006 ) . However, the industrialization of building at the earlier phase was ne’er sustained. Failure of early closed fabricated system made the industry participants afraid of altering building method. Some of the foreign systems that were introduced during late sixties and 70s were besides found non to be suited with Malaysia societal patterns and clime ( CIDB, 2005 ) .
Newer and better engineerings were invariably being introduced in the market. Wet joint systems were identified to be more suited to be used in our tropical clime. It besides was better to utilised the bathroom types which comparatively wetter than those in Europe ( CIDB, 2005 ) . In 1978. the Penang State Government launched another 1200 units of lodging utilizing prefabrication engineering. Two twelvemonth subsequently, the Ministry of Defence Adopted big prefabricated panel building system for building 2800 units of living one-fourth at Lumut Naval Base 9 Trikha and Ali, 2004 ) . During the period of early 80s up to 90s the usage of structural steel constituents turn peculiarly in high rise edifice in Kuala Lumpur. The use of steel construction gained much attending with the building of 36 storey Dayabumi composite that was completed in 1984 by Takenaka Corporation of Japan ( CIDB, 2003 and CIDB, 2006 ) .
In the 90s, demand for the new township has seen the addition in the usage of precast concrete system in high rise residential edifices. Between 1981 to 1993, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor ( PKNS ) as province authorities development bureau acquired precast concrete engineering from Praton Haus International. It was based on Germany to construct low cost house and high cost cottage for the new townships in Selangor ( CIDB, 2003 and Hassim et al.2009 ) . It was recorded around 52,000 lodging units was constructed utilizing Praton Haus system ( Trikha and Ali, 2004 ) .
In the flourishing period of Malayan building 1994 to 1997, intercrossed IBS application used in many national iconic landmarks such as Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Bukit Jalil Sport Complex constructed utilizing steel beam and roof trusses and precast concrete. Other than that, Lightweight Railway Train ( LRT ) and KL Sentral was constructed by utilizing steel roof construction and precast hallow nucleus. While KL Towe was built by utilizing steel beams and column for tower caput. Kula Lumpur International Airport ( KLIA ) was contructed by steel roof construction and Petronas Twin Towers was 9 steel beams and steel decking for the floor system. ( CIDB, 2006 )
The local IBS makers were mushrooming, althrough yet to run in full capacity. The current IBS systems used in Malaysia lodging undertakings are steel frame, precast frame, formwork frame and big panel system. These system is mostly used for private residential undertaking in Shah Alam, Wangsa maju, and Pandan ( Sarja, 1998 ) , Dua Residency in Kuala Lumpur, Taman Mount Austin and Tongkang Pecah in Johor ( CIDB,2006 ) .
The new coevals of edifice that utilized IBS is better every bit compared to conventional method in term of velocity, cost, quality and architectural visual aspect. Steel frame, precast panel and other IBS systems were used intercrossed building technique to build authorities edifice ( CIDB, 2006 ) .
2.2 Categorization of IBS
This subdivision will be explicate the categorization of IBS published in Malaysia. IBS was classified as a portion of modern of building ( MMC ) .
MMC is term adopted as a corporate description for both offsite based building engineerings and advanced onsite engineerings. The latter includes techniques such as tunnel form building and thin articulation block work ( Goodier & A ; Gibb, 2006 ) . MMC besides include modern methods of building of floor or roof cassettes, precast concrete foundation assemblies, preformed wiring looms, and mechanical technology complexs. They besides can include advanced techniques such as thin articulation block work or burrow signifier ( NAO, 2005 and Gibb and Pendlebury, 2006 ) . As the mention, IBS is in which constituent are manufactured, positioned and assembled into a construction with minimum extra site works both on site or off site ( CIDB, 2003 and Chung, 2006 ) . While on on site IBS can be in the signifier of unmoved precast system utilizing steel formwork and off site techniques is the description of the spectrum of which are manufactured assembled remote from constructing site prior to installing in their place. Whereas all off site may be regarded as falling within a generic IBS and MMC header, non all IBS and MMC may see as off site ( Gibb and Pendleton, 2006 ) .
Pre-fabrication is a fabrication procedure by and large taking topographic point at a specialized installation, in which assorted stuff are joined to organize a constituents portion of concluding installing ( Tatum et al, 1986 ) . While the constituents possibly assemble on and off site.
Pre-assembly carried on a definition as a procedure by which assorted stuff, pre-fabricated constituents and or equipment are joined together at a distant location for subsequent installing as a sub unit. it by and large focused on system. Therefore, a generic categorization of IBS-MMC term is promoted based on the undermentioned premise compiled by the old research worker.

2.3 Activity in Steel Framing Construction
Raising structural steelwork for constructing building takes topographic point in a dynamic, altering environment where there are many jeopardies and hazards. Proper and seasonably planning and coordination are the most effectual ways to pull off those jeopardies and hazards.
Undertakings affecting structural steel building have four chief phases where hazards to wellness and safety demand to be considered:
aˆ? design
aˆ? fiction
aˆ? conveyance
aˆ? hard-on.
Diagram 1
The functional relationship between each party is outlined in Diagram 1, on the old page. Each party is responsible for the affairs that are under its direction and control. Pull offing hazards originating from these affairs is more effectual when parties on a regular basis consult one another and reexamine how the following portion of the procedure will continue. For illustration, near co-operation between all parties is indispensable to guarantee that the process for the hard-on of steel work is safe. They should:
aˆ? guarantee the process is acceptable to all parties and signed off by the hard-on applied scientist
aˆ? reexamine the process before activities begin.
2.3.1 Health and safety representatives
Planing and coordination must affect audience with those engaged in the work and the wellness and safety representatives. A wellness and safety representative is elected by the workers to stand for their wellness and safety issues at work. Health and safety representatives must be consulted alongside employees and contractors on issues associating to wellness and safety, including when procedures are reviewed.
2.3.2 Key planning tools
There are six cardinal paperss which help guarantee safe work in structural steel hard-on. There are:
building drawings – architectural and structural
store drawings – drawn up by the store detailer, who is engaged by the storyteller, in audience with the hard-on applied scientist, and detail what steel members are to be manufactured. Shop drawings are reviewed by the structural design applied scientist before fiction
taging programs – developed by the storyteller and item where steel members will be positioned in the hard-on procedure
consecutive hard-on process – normally developed by the erector and approved by the hard-on applied scientist. The consecutive hard-on process sets out the stairss for the work in the right order of hard-on
safe work method statement ( SWMS ) – developed by the erector in audience with the crew and the builder, and identifies the jeopardies and hazard controls for each measure of the hard-on sequence
hard-on design – developed by the hard-on applied scientist based on the consecutive hard-on processs prepared by the erector.
2.4 Steel Frame Installation Procedure
2.4.1 Design phase
There are two separate stages of design in structural steel hard-on
I ) Structural design
The first stage involves the structural design of the edifice, for in-service status, which is carried out by the structural design applied scientist. The structural steel design should be produced harmonizing to the criterion. Guidelines for the hard-on of edifice steelwork, which detail how hazards can be eliminated or reduced in the design phase.
two ) Erection
The 2nd stage, the design for hard-on, is for the handling, transit and hard-on of the single members and construction. It may be produced independently of the structural design of the edifice. Ideally, be aftering for the safe hard-on of structural steel work should be considered at the design phase. Structural design applied scientists should see the safe on the job conditions for those involved in the hard-on phase, and extinguish as many of the jeopardies as possible at this phase.
Functions during design phase
The structural design applied scientist is responsible for the structural design of the edifice.
2.4.2 Fabrication phase
In audience with the hard-on applied scientist, the store detailer produces the store drawings, and the storyteller works from these drawings to bring forth the steel members.
The structural design applied scientist should guarantee that the store drawings comply with the structural design. The drawings are reviewed by the structural design applied scientist before fiction of the steel members.
Functions during the fiction phase
The storyteller is responsible for the accurate particularization and fiction of the steelwork to guarantee members fit together right. Detailing should include the easiness of doing connexions on site.
2.4.3 Transportation phase
Workers can be exposed to the hazard of hurt when burden, transporting and droping steel from transport vehicles. Delivery of steel onto the site requires co-operation between the storyteller, builder, transporter and erector so that the steel is delivered in a timely and efficient mode, and that it does non overload the bringing country or the building zone.
Functions during transit phase
The transporter should hold planned the paths and obtained all necessary licenses and mandate for oversize or broad tonss, restricted paths, and more.
The transporter should be familiar with the builder ‘s traffic direction program that includes, where necessary, traffic accountants, roadblocks and route closing permits to let unimpeded entree to the site.
The builder should besides supply a safe and equal unloading and lay-down country on the site and guarantee that the transporter has detailed instructions on how to come in the site.
2.4.4 Erection phase
Safe hard-on of structural steel work depends on proper and timely planning. All forces should be cognizant that hard-on of any structural steel is potentially risky and that be aftering must command any hazard from these jeopardies.
Functions in the hard-on phase
Builder
The builder has overall direction and control of the edifice site and should guarantee that:
the edifice building is in conformity with the undertaking agenda
a traffic direction program is developed and implemented ( which includes safe entree /egress points and bringing countries )
a marker program has been submitted
a bringing agenda submitted by the storyteller is agreed upon
the activities of all contractors are being coordinated and supervised
the land surface or supporting construction is suited for works ( such as EWP, nomadic scaffolds and Cranes ) to run safely
holding-down bolts, dramatis personae in concrete terms, bases or slabs, are within tolerance
store drawings ( prepared by the store detailer ) have a signed statement from the structural design applied scientist that the store drawings comply with the structural design
the hard-on applied scientist provides clear advice on how to accomplish stableness for each phase of the construction ‘s hard-on
conditions conditions are continually monitored, peculiarly potentially risky state of affairss like high or strong air currents and electrical storms, and that a eventuality program has been developed for terrible conditions
at least one of the hard-on crew or another individual who remains on site throughout hard-on should keep a current making as a Level 2 first aider
a safe work method statement has been developed and work is undertaken.
The builder must besides supply to contractors a elaborate site program, which includes information on:
site location
entree points
construction location
suited land bearing locations for Crane operations
uploading countries
storage countries.
The builder should guarantee that the truth of each contractor ‘s work is within the tolerance of the degree or place nominated by the hard-on applied scientist or relevant criterion. Any alterations to the edifice layout besides need to be checked by the builder for blessing by the hard-on applied scientist.
Erection Engineer
The hard-on applied scientist approves the consecutive hard-on process which includes how the construction is stabilised at each phase and marks any alterations, and is required to supply counsel to the builder and hard-on crew on affairs including:
articulations and extra hard-on cleats
structural design standards impacting building
impermanent brace
raising points
tonss and conditions likely to be experienced during the lifting and hard-on
any air current burden restrictions on the unity of the construction as it is being erected harmonizing to the signed-off consecutive hard-on process
air current burden on the braced members.
joint places ( as they affect hard-on sequences )
handiness of connexions
ingredients for working platforms, manus tracks etc
preferable method of linking steel members
preferred type and figure of Cranes to raise members of peculiar size and form, and for perpendicular and horizontal brace demands
instructions on how to brace the construction at each phase of hard-on which involves:
verifying the adequateness of the base connexions ( steel to foundations )
look intoing stableness under building burden conditions
capacity to defy inadvertent vehicle impact.
Erector
the erector ensures that:
the construction is erected in conformity with the consecutive hard-on process
work returns in conformity with the criterion
confirms with the builder ‘s representative that the land or back uping surface is suited for nomadic works to safely run
pre-assembly of members and the motion and location of heavy members are considered anterior to installation
conditions conditions are continually monitored, and in peculiar, potentially risky state of affairss like high or strong air currents and electrical storms for which a eventuality program should be developed and implemented as required.
2.5 Safety in General
To guarantee the possible protection for employees at the workplace, the co-operation attempts of both employers and employees will assist in keeping a safe and healthy work environment.
2.5.1 Personal Protective Equipment
PPE is defined in the Regulation as all equipment which is intended to be held by a individual at work and which protects him against hazards to his wellness and safety. For illustration, baseball mitts, safety harnesses, oculus protection, safety footwear, safety helmets and high-visibility vesture.
The jeopardy and types of PPE

2.6 Safety in Steel Frame Installation
2.6.1 Pull offing hazard at the design phase
Failure to program and design for safety, from the beginning, can ensue in insecure patterns onsite and in structural instability during hard-on. Accidents in the hard-on of structural steelwork are non restricted to falls. They can besides happen because of structural instability during hard-on, and while managing, raising and transporting stuff.
The stableness of the edifice should be checked by the hard-on applied scientist at agreed times with the builder during hard-on. Particular attending should be taken during design and building in order to forestall progressive prostration. Progressive prostration define as a uninterrupted array of failures causes by the local failure of one portion of the construction.
Progressive prostration may be prevented by supplying:
impermanent brace, shoring or ties
alternate burden waies that cause applied forces to be safely transmitted through the construction
equal structural strength and continuity of the construction and its parts.
The failure of a individual member will non impact the whole prostration of the construction. This is particularly of import where structural stableness was provided by wall poising systems and steel roof. In add-on, a good planning should be implement to the effects of unusual tonss on the edifice, such as vehicle impacts and gas detonations.
The structural design applied scientist must supply sufficient inside informations to let the store detailer to fix shop drawings and the hard-on applied scientist to fix the hard-on design
The store drawings and hard-on design should be submitted to the structural design applied scientist for reappraisal to guarantee that they comply with the demands of the structural design
Before the store drawings are produced, the parties involved in the design, fiction, conveyance and hard-on procedure should intercede to be after the complete building and hard-on sequence.
The tabular array show what hazards may originate if the design does non adequately supply for safety in the hard-on of the construction. Methods for pull offing and commanding the hazard of jeopardies are besides provided.
Common jeopardies
the “ build ability ” of the design
Collapse of construction due to member failure from impermanent lading during hard-on
Members non designed for transit
Hazard Control
The structural design applied scientist is required to supply design drawings which include:
purlin and frame item
levelling tablet item
day of the month and issue figure of pulling
programs and lifts clearly bespeaking the structural framing and layout
the class of steel member
support required for in-service tonss and impermanent conditions
structural design standards impacting building
do proviso for positive connexion between members of the construction that have been specified to defy imposed sidelong and perpendicular force
Consideration should be given to inside informations such as:
site restrictions
bringing sequence
local street entree
conveyance demand
overhead obstructors.
2.6.2 Pull offing hazard at the fiction phase
Common jeopardies
Fabrication mistake
Incomplete fiction ( losing constituent )
Collapse of construction due to element failure
Members non clearly marked or identifiable
Weld failure due to hapless quality or deficiency of proving
Incomplete or inaccurate store pulling
Hazard controls
The storyteller must:
guarantee strength of members by utilizing classs of steel which are in conformity with the relevant criterions
guarantee store drawings comply with the structural design drawings
2.6.3 Pull offing hazard at the transit phase
Common jeopardies
Vehicle hit
Lack of set-up infinite
Access or emersion: steep class and short pitch
Worker falling from vehicle during lading and droping
Steel falling from slung tonss while droping
Steel falling because the vehicle burden is unstable or becomes unstable during droping
Hazard controls
Before lading vehicle
The storyteller should look into that:
The sequence of burden is agreed between the storyteller and the builder
each member is clearly marked
The transporter should look into that:
trucks have keeping spikes in topographic point
steel is supported and secured, so that there is no uncontrolled motion of steel until it is ready to raise.
sufficient hardwood carriers, or equivalent, have been provided for burden.
The Builder should look into that:
the sequence of burden is agreed between the builder and the erector
a Crane of the needed type and capacity is at the site
the country for droping is house and degree and checked for burden capacity and
where applicable or necessary, land calculations
there is an equal set-up country
there is a traffic direction program
the class and pitch of access/egress is suited and safe for the vehicles
and their tonss.
When lading the vehicle
The Transporter should look into that:
the vehicle and burden is stable and burden will stay stable during droping.
On vehicle ‘s reaching at site
The Transporter should look into that:
procuring ironss or straps are non removed until keeping spikes in topographic point
the steel has non shifted into a unsafe place
the vehicle is positioned as directed by the erector and stabilised before the steel restraints are released
if the unloading sequence can take to the instability of tonss, the steel is separately restrained and the burden constellation checked so that droping does non ensue in the burden or the vehicle going unstable the vehicle is non moved without the steel being decently secured.
The Erector should look into that:
tonss are lifted in a degree mode
tonss are non lifted vertically or at a incline
tonss are sufficiently secured to forestall inside lengths from falling out if the package is at an angle
there is fall protection for workers and doggers on the truck.
2.6.4 Pull offing hazard at the hard-on phase
Common jeopardies
Falling from a tallness while set uping
Falling objects
Collapse of the construction during building
Bing struck by works
Plant reaching belowground or overhead public-service corporation services
Bing struck by objects such as steel members
Hazard Controls
The erector should cut down the demand for work at height by:
building every bit much of the steelwork as possible ( such as faculties or frames ) at land degree, or from erected floor slabs or decks in the construction, and
where moderately operable, let go ofing the raising sling or device from land degree by the usage of long slings, distant release bonds or other suited devices.
The erector should forestall the hazard of a autumn of a individual working at a tallness by utilizing in order of effectivity:
inactive autumn bar devices, for illustration, work platforms
work-positioning systems such as travel-restraint systems and industrial rope-access systems, and
autumn arrest systems such as gimmick platforms and safety-harness systems.
The erector should cut down the hazard from falling objects by:
curtailing entree when there is overhead work by set uping, where operable, exclusion zones
preventing, where operable, loads being lifted or transported over people or comfortss
guaranting merely rigger slings loads and, where appropriate, repair ticket lines
utilizing raising beams to place members where necessary to guarantee the stableness of the member
sing margin screens, safety rails with built-in toe-boards and wire mesh, debris cyberspaces, cantilever work platforms, scaffolding sheathed with protective stuff and/or laniards to procure tools and equipment
utilizing stuffs boxes which are to the full sheeted to envelop the burden
guaranting safety helmets are worn at all times.
a ) Before hard-on, to avoid prostration, the erector should:
guarantee a consecutive hard-on process is prepared, which has been approved by the hard-on applied scientist and is consistent with the marker programs
guarantee that an experient steel hard-on supervisor is present at all times to supervise the execution of the consecutive hard-on process
guarantee an equal exclusion zone to forestall hazard to other people non involved in the hard-on
merely get down the hard-on of a member or sub-assembly when equipment to guarantee the construction ‘s stableness is available and being used
guarantee impermanent cats or poising are firmly anchored
topographic point equal ocular barriers between cats and plant/vehicle motion countries.
B ) During hard-on, to avoid prostration, the hard-on supervisor must:
verify the stableness of the construction in conformity with the hard-on applied scientist ‘s specifications:
at the terminal of each work twenty-four hours
when fasteners may be uncomplete
during strong air currents or when strong air currents are forecast
seek blessing from the builder ( or hard-on applied scientist where appropriate ) to discontinue work at unscheduled points where the construction has non been completed to the specifications of the hard-on applied scientist ‘s design
Obtain, from the builder, the hard-on applied scientist ‘s written blessing before tonss are placed onto the construction
where possible, start hard-on in a nominative braced bay. If this is non possible, do certain that the hard-on applied scientist is involved in developing an alternate site-specific consecutive hard-on process.
look into the adjustments for the support of columns during hard-on, to guarantee equal structural capacity for the hard-on conditions
do certain that all beams are secured before let go ofing the slings
do certain that all bolted connexions are effectual to guarantee the stableness of the steel construction.
4 To avoid being struck by works and before the usage of a Crane or any other powered nomadic equipment, the erector should see:
Crane choice,
protection of the populace
the location of any diggings or belowground services that may impact a Crane burden
the propinquity of overhead power lines
the capacity of the land or back uping surface to bear the burden
look into the type and sum of packing required under the Crane ‘s outriggers to back up the proposed tonss
written processs for puting up and dismantlement of the Crane and the lifting method
the composing of the set uping crew suits the occupation
processs for ocular and hearable signals between the Crane operator and the hard-on crew
land support conditions
choice of raising cogwheel
exigency processs
prevailing or calculate weather conditions
the demand to avoid raising tonss over people.
The usage, of two or more Cranes to travel and place tonss, is risky and should be avoided if a individual Crane is capable of making the occupation. Where it is necessary to utilize two Cranes to double lift members, the undermentioned controls are to be implemented:
the weight of the burden and its Centre of gravitation every bit good as the weight of the lifting cogwheel must be carefully calculated.
Cranes of similar features should be selected.
the place of each Crane should understate motion and slewing.
the lifting capacity of each Crane must be 20 % greater than the portion of the burden.
5. Where works is working near overhead lines, the erector should:
place all power lines services before allowing any Crane or other nomadic works on site
cheque that stuff and works is moved or operated outside the “ No Go Zone ” of 3000 millimeter from an overhead electrical overseas telegram on a pole or 8000 millimeter if the electricity overseas telegram is on a tower line ( If raising staging, the “ No Go Zone ” during this procedure is 4.6m distant and 5m below from the nearest power line )
if work or works is able to infringe on this clearance, the erector must obtain permission from the electricity company.
2.6.5 Other jeopardies
jeopardies must be controlled. They may include:
noise
manual handling
hot work
exposure to risky substances
unsafe goods
electrical work
Sun ( UV ) exposure.
