    5.0 INCIDENT CONTROLSIncident with regard land/water

    Any incident to water resources, or to areas which may potentially lead to contamination of thewater resources, should be immediately reported to the Line Manager.

    1. STOP work immediately

    Raise the alarm that an incident has occurred with two blasts of the airhorn or other appropriatemeans.

    Wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment;

    Extinguish all items with potential to cause ignition of the spillage

    Identify sensitive areas e.g. drains/watercourses etc and protect with barrier e.g. booms/sand

    2. CONTROL

    Identify the source of pollution and isolate/contain e.g. using bunds

    Turn off any valves, up right toppled containers seal any leaking drums

    Deploy booms to contain any spillage that has entered a watercourse

    Dispose of clean up material appropriately if you are unsure whether waste is hazardouscheck with your Environmental Advisor

    3. NOTIFYInform your line manager of the incident and any actions taken.If spill kit was used inform the Nominated Fuel Supervisor so that replacements can bearranged

    NOTE: ADDITIONAL MEASURES FOR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS/WATERCOURSES

    Notify your line manager immediately

    Granules are not to be used on spillages that have entered a watercourse/drains

    Refer to the drainage plan in Appendix A in case of need to shut off drains etc

    Apply pads or rolls and sweep the booms over the surface of the affected area to removeany chemicals. Continue until the chemical is completely removed

    At times it may be beneficial to leave booms in place for several weeks to allow trappedresidues from vegetation to be captured

    Where sufficient control cannot be maintained by site then it may be appropriate to enlistthe aid of a specialist clean-up company (DV Howells).

    Incidents with regard to air: (any abnormal emissions to the air which are likely to have an effecton the local community)

    Stop the relevant activity.

    Follow reporting processes outlined in Section 6.0.

    Incidents involving a leak of SF6 Gas

    Oxygen content meters must be used by operatives in low-lying areas

    The meters must be set to give an audible alarm where the oxygen content in the low-lyingarea falls below 19%. On hearing the alarm the loy-lying area must be evacuated

    Request assistance from the EAC Site Manager or Site Safety Officer.

    Only re-enter the area if clearance is given

    Clearing the Area of SF6 Authorised Personnel Only

    Obtain a permit to work Drainage should be through agents (filters) using Approved methods and equipment into

    storage, or, in exceptional circumstances, to atmosphere as instructed by an Authorised Person.

    Following removal of the substances, the Person(s) involved must -a) Use only disposable materials to clean themselves and protective clothing and equipment.

    b) Carry out cleaning of protective clothing and equipment only in the work area.c) Make proper use of the special changing and washing facilities available.

    Incidents involving firewater run-off.

    Ensure there is provision of an area for firewater to run onto, where practicable.

    Ensure that site drainage has the ability to isolate interceptors, as firewater foam willrender these unusable.

    6.0 Reporting

    Report all incidents to your line manager.

    Ensure you inform the nominated fuel supervisor of any requirements to replace spill kitprovisions.

    1.0 INTRODUCTION /SCOPE OF WORK

    Construction works will be required for the installation of the new PumpingStation on the sea front (promenade) in Bridlington.(Please note this procedure will also be implemented at the Headworks site onemonth prior to the commencement of the works).

    The bulk of these works at Belgrave will be undertaken from promenade level,which is six meters below South Marine Drive.

    This will provide significant attenuation of noise levels at residential properties on

    South Marine Drive.

    Anticipated noise levels of construction activities with no attenuation- areforecast as per the table below:

    Location Peak noise level Xm distant from source

    10m 20m 40m

    Sheet piling 89 dB(A) 83 dB(A) 77 dB(A)

    Demolition 93 dB(A) 87 dB(A) 80 dB(A)

    Excavation 85 dB(A) 79 dB(A) 73 dB(A)

    Concreting 86 dB(A) 80 dB(A) 74 dB(A)

    Secant Piling 85 dB(A) 79 dB(A) 73 dB(A)

    Road pavement 80 dB(A) 74 dB(A) 68 dB(A)

    The threshold of significant effect at dwellings during the working day should notbe greater than 75 dB(A).

    Potential Impacts of Construction Noise can be determined when the Total Noise

    Level - TNL - (ambient + construction) is calculated:

    If the TNL does not exceed the threshold, there will be an insignificant effect

    If the TNL exceeds the threshold by up to 5 dB(A) there will be a minor adverse

    effect

    If the TNL exceeds the threshold by more than 5 dB(A) there will be a significant

    adverse effect

    4.0 PLANT & EQUIPMENT

    4.1Sound level monitoring device compliant to IEC 61672-1:2002 Class 1 and 2

    5.0 RISK ASSESSMENT

    5.1 Residual risk include (but are not limited to)

    1. Short term obstruction of paths

    2. Impact with road vehicles

    6.0 PROCEDURE

    Six number Noise Survey Data Collection Sites have been selected in the vicinityof the Belgrave Pumping Station working area (refer to page 5 of 5).

    In order to obtain baseline data, each of the six locations will be monitored for aperiod of 10minutes, across a five day period at 8:00am, 10:00am, 12:00noon,2:00pm 4:00pm and 6:00pm.

    The average sound levels will be calculated at each of the identified sites.

    The data will then be assessed with regards to identifying the permissible noiselevels of construction plant.

    Plant and construction methods selected will be reassessed.

    (For example by pre-boring the piles, the peak noise level for sheet piling can bereduced to about 80 dB(A) at 22m).

    Where no further reduction can be made through selection of plant andmethodology, attenuation provided by solid timber hoardings can be factored in to

    potentially reduce noise levels.In the event that a further reduction of noise is required, consideration shall begiven to lining the hoardings to provide improved attenuation.

    In the event that noise levels cannot be reduced further in line with the thresholdof significant effect, the EHO will be consulted.

    Noise and Vibration

    If you have any queries regarding the content of this bulletin please contact your Environmental adviser

    or Line Manager.

    WHAT?The Construction Industry is one of the leading sources of noise complaints made to Local Authorities.

    Something is considered noisy when the sound is unwanted by the listener. Noise and vibration emissions

    can disturb local residents and give rise to complaints and delays.

    Noisy activities include: excavation, tunnelling, concrete cutting, piling, using un-silenced generators and concrete

    pours.

    WHY? To act as a good neighbour: avoid complaints and maintain good relations with the local

    community.

    To avoid programme delay: The Local Authority have the power to stop works if noise from thesite is causing a nuisance

    To avoid fines: Failing to meet noise constraints can result in fines.

    To avoid structural damage: vibration may cause structural damage

    To comply with contractual requirements To prevent harm to wildlife: Noise can disturb wildlife as well as humans

    DO

    If possible, restrict noisy activities to certain timesof the day.

    Adhere to working hours. Some sites are onlyconsented to work at certain times

    Plan deliveries. Arrange routes and times tominimise potential nuisance to the localcommunity.

    If possible, keep noisy plant away from publicareas.

    Minimise drop heights into hoppers, lorries andother plant.

    Use local screening where necessary. Noise can be reduced if a screen is placed

    between plant and nearby sensitive locations eg.houses. Screens can be straw bales or ply board.

    Use silenced generators and tower lights wherenecessary. Keep acoustic doors and hoods on plant closed

    it does make a difference!

    Contact your Line Manager if you are in doubtabout noisy activities.

    DONTDONT undertake noisy works during the

    evening, at night or very early in themorning if it can be avoided!

    DONT leave doors and hoods open onplant.

    DONT leave plant runningunnecessarily.

    DONT use poorly maintained plantDONT ignore complaints from the

    local community.DONT undertake activities that could

    cause damage to nearby structuresthrough vibration unless approved byyour line manager.

    Chemical &

    Fuel StorageThe Oil Storagelegislation brought intoforce in September2001 means that allexisting and new oilstorage facilities have tocomply now.

    What does this meanfor site?

    These regulations will affect two main areas of our operations.

    1. Fuel Storage. Site must have their steel fuel tanks compliant to BS799, which means they should bedouble skinned with an internal bunding capacity of 110% of the total capacity. The constructed bundsaround the single skinned fuel tanks have to be impermeable to what ever is stored within them andalso within the 110% capacity. There should be no drainage devices installed in these bunds and anypipe works that has to pass through it should be adequately sealed. If a tank was to leak then the bundmust be able to contain this jet of oil. Bunds must also be protected from traffic collisions and havedrip trays etc available to catch any drips from the ancillary equipment.

    2. Chemical Storage. The same controls apply to chemical storage. At present there are many sitesthat store their chemicals in a garic interceptor cage, this is fine as long as the chemicals stored floaton water and therefore will not prevent the interceptor baffles from working effectively.

    3. Drum Storage. A drip tray under a single drum must be able to contain 25% of the capacity of thedrum. If there are multiple drums then the drip tray must be able contain 25% of the total capacity of allthe drums. If the volume of the drums stored is greater than 200 litres then the usual oil storageregulations apply; i.e. 110% of the capacity.

    What will happen to those projects who do not comply?

    The EA will issue an enforcement notice and a time period that the site has to comply with the regulations.

    Failure to comply with a notice is a criminal offence and may result in prosecution.

    For more information regarding oil storage or any to her environmental matters please contact theEnvironmental Department. Further oil storage guidance is also available on the Environment Agency website:www.environment-agency.gov.uk/osr/and their pollution prevention guideline series, numbers 2 and 26.

    DUST AND POOR AIR QUALITY CONTROLS

    A project manager will plan to implement practicable controls on site. Typical controls include the following:

    Measures for control of site operations

    Equipment likely to generate excessive quantities of dust shall be enclosed, shielded or whereappropriate fitted with dust extractors, filters and scrubbers, which shall be maintained inaccordance with the manufacturers' specifications.

    The number of material handling operations shall be kept to a minimum.

    Drop heights of friable materials onto vehicles and conveyors shall be kept to a practicable

    minimum. Conveyer transfer points shall be enclosed and dry conveyor loads shall be damped toprevent dust emissions.

    Cutting and grinding operations on site shall be conducted using equipment and techniques thatsuppress and reduce dust emissions.

    Where appropriate, windbreaks, netting screens or semi-permeable fences shall be used toreduce dust emissions from working areas and/or screen sensitive locations.

    No burning of rubbish or any other activity likely to give rise to dark smoke on or off the site shall bepermitted without the permission of the Local Authority and an exemption from the WasteManagement Licensing Regulations 1994 from the Environment Agency.

    Measures for material storage

    Bulk cement and bentonite shall be delivered by tanker.

    Bulk cement and bentonite shall be stored in silos or other bulk storage device.

    Appropriate measures shall be taken when replenishing silos to avoid accidental spillage,including the use of audible and visual alarm systems.

    The mixing of large quantities of concrete or bentonite slurries shall take place in enclosed orshielded areas

    Fine, dry materials shall be stored within buildings or with adequate protection from the wind.

    Silos and stockpiles shall be positioned as far as is reasonably practicable away from residentialareas, places of public access or other sensitive receptors (such as watercourses).

    Slopes of stockpiles, tips and mounds shall be maintained at an angle not greater than the naturalangle of repose and sharp changes of shape shall be avoided.

    Handling areas shall be maintained so far as reasonably practicable to reduce the risk of dustemissions.

    Procedures for the regular inspection of storage and handling facilities for fine, dry materials shallbe established, including procedures for the prompt clearance of any spillage. Where practicablespillages of cement powder shall be cleared using wet handling.

    Use of dust suppressants Where dust is, or is likely to be generated, static sprinklers, bowsers and other watering methods,

    shall be employed to control dust generated during the works.

    If giving rise to dust emissions, the surfaces of stockpiles of dry, friable materials shall be dampedby controlled application of water sprays, shrouded, or screened as appropriate and necessary. Ifappropriate and necessary, binding or surface crusting agents shall be applied to long-terminactive stockpiles of such materials to prevent dust emissions.

    Control of vehicle emissions and movements

    Paved haul roads and associated vehicle waiting areas shall be regularly inspected and keptcleaned of all mud and dusty materials.

    Unpaved roads and verges shall be maintained in a compacted condition as appropriate andnecessary.

    General site traffic shall be restricted to watered or treated haul roads.

    Speed limits shall be established and enforced over all site traffic routes.

    Agreed routes of haulage and movements of site vehicles will be adhered to.

    No vehicle or equipment emitting visible black smoke from its exhaust system other than duringignition shall be used on any construction site or public highway.

    Combustion engines shall not be left running unnecessarily.

    All plant and vehicles used on site will be regularly serviced.

    All vehicle and equipment engines and exhaust systems shall be maintained so that exhaustemissions do not breach EU statutory limits set for vehicle/equipment type and mode of operation.All vehicles and equipment are to be maintained in accordance with manufacturers guidance.

    All construction vehicles licensed to go on public highways must have valid MOT test certificates.

    Measures for ensuring that prescribed processes have ConsentAny prescribed process, which requires Consent (typically mobile crushing and screening operations),will be reviewed and checks will be made to ensure that the operator has the appropriate licenses.

    Where concrete batchers are operated off site an authorisation must be obtained from the Local Authority. It willbe a requirement of the authorisation to keep a logbook in order to show compliance with the authorisationwhich may be inspected by the Local Authority at any time. Concrete batchers which are operated on site donot require an authorisation, however the following controls should be adhered to:

    Bulk cement and PFA should only be stored in the enclosed silos of the concrete batching plant.

    The silo should be fitted with a pressure relief valve that should be checked on a regular basis toensure it is seated correctly.

    The silo should be fitted with audible or visual alarms that will operate to prevent overfilling.

    A lockable filling system is in place to ensure materials cannot be added to the system without

    authorisation.

    Filters should be checked and cleaned regularly.

    NOISE AND VIBRATION

    Noise and vibration can disturb local residents and give rise to complaints and delays. Typical noisy activitiesinclude excavation, tunnelling, piling, concrete cutting, concrete pours and use of un-silenced generators. Aspart of being a considerate constructor it maybe beneficial to inform local residents of any impending noisy orvibration prone works.

    Sites will control noise and vibration from their activities by implementing Best Practicable Means (BPM)."Practicable" means reasonably practicable having regard, among other things, to local conditions andcircumstances, to the current state of technical knowledge and to the financial implications. The means to beemployed include the design, installation, maintenance, manner, and period of operation of plant andmachinery, and the design, construction and maintenance of buildings and structures.

    Typical controls include:

    Identification of sensitive receptors

    All noisy plant and equipment will be located as far away as is practicable from any noise sensitivelocations using intervening barriers, screens and other structures (e.g. site huts) whereappropriate.

    Selection of working methods

    The selection of the method of working for a particular activity will consider potential noiseemissions and where practicable will be selected to ensure disturbance is kept to a minimum.

    Noise and vibration abatement measures

    Working hours will be agreed which minimise disruption to neighbours. Noisy activities will be

    restricted to the least sensitive times of the day i.e. 0900-1700 hours.

    Neighbours should be kept well informed of the times and dates of any potential noise or vibrationnuisances.

    All vehicles, plant and other equipment will be fitted where necessary with appropriate silencers,mufflers, or acoustic covers (see BS 5228 1997 Part 1).

    Noise barriers, e.g. mounds of earth, fences, etc. will be put in place where necessary.

    Plant and machinery in intermittent use shall be shut down completely or operated in a minimumidling condition whenever not actually required for work.

    Drop heights into hoppers, lorries and other equipment shall be minimised.

    Plant maintenance

    A maintenance regime will be in place to ensure that all extraneous noises from mechanicalvibration, creaking and squeaking are reduced to a minimum.

    All noise control equipment as fitted to plant and machinery shall be maintained in good andefficient working order and operated in such a manner as to minimise noise emission whereverpossible.

    Plant and machinery with defective silencers other than defective noise control equipment shall notbe operated until repaired.

    Concrete crushing Where possible concrete sections will be removed and crushed off-site. (Checks will be made to

    ensure that the operator of any concrete crusher used either on or off-site has the appropriateauthorisation from the Local Authority and a copy shall be held on site)

    STANDARD AND GUIDANCE

    Monitoring Compliance monitoring shall be undertaken as required at sensitive receptors to ensure that noise

    levels are within acceptable limits.

    Site inspections shall include checks to ensure that the necessary controls are in place to minimisenuisance from noise generated from the site. This will include checks to ensure that plant has notbeen left idling, that acoustic covers are in use where necessary, and that plant is in a goodcondition.

    Vibration monitoring will be undertaken in accordance with BS 6472 during those constructionphases that are likely to generate significant levels of vibration (e.g. for percussive piling).

    The contact details of the Project Manager or similar shall be made available outside of normal

    working hours. Any complaints received shall be actioned immediately and recorded in line withComplaints Procedure.

    Where required as a planning condition, development order, by the client, or the Project manager, sites willobtain Section 61 consent for their works. This requires a description of the works and predictions of theanticipated noise levels. Once obtained, the conditions of the Consent must be adhered to, and monitoringshould be undertaken to ensure that the levels remain within the consented limits.

    Where sites are not bound by Section 61 Consents, the Local Authority may choose to control noise by servinga Section 60 Abatement Notice that specifies what plant and machinery may be used, the working hours andnoise levels.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL ISSUES

    Where the contract or Planning Conditions or a substantiated inquiry identifies archaeological important areasor features, including Special Ancient Monuments, then the site should procure the services of ArchaeologicalSpecialist. The advice of specialist will be complied with during works affecting the relevant feature or area.

    Use of archaeological specialists should always be undertaken in liaison with the Head of Environment.

    Where the works are identified during tendering, allowance in the programming should take into accountnecessary archaeological investigation.Should an item of archaeological importance unexpectedly be found on site the Project Manager should beimmediately notified and they should liaise with the County Archaeologist relating to procedural controls. Theseshould include, but are not limited to, the following actions:

    Works in the area shall be stopped immediately Fencing shall be erected around the find

    The advice of an Archaeological Specialist shall be sought

    Works should not be undertaken adjacent to areas of archaeological importance without consultation with therelevant bodies. Types of damage that may be caused include disintegration due to vibration, consolidation andcracking and settlement due to dewatering.

    ECOLOGICAL ISSUES

    Where the contract or Planning Conditions or a substantiated inquiry identifies ecological species or habitats ofstatutory importance then the site should procure the services of an Ecological Specialist. The advice of thespecialist will be complied with during works affecting the species or habitat.

    Use of ecological specialists should always be undertaken in liaison with the Head of Environment.

    STANDARD AND GUIDANCE

    Where the potential for species or habitats of importance are identified during tendering the Bid Manager willincorporate the necessary controls within the programme. Typically, these will include surveys, design and

    implementation of mitigation.

    For further guidance on general site controls, see Attachment A.

    MONITORING

    Where there is a need to demonstrate compliance with defined standards then monitoring should beundertaken, typically this includes noise or dust surveys and ecological or archaeological watching brief. Therequirements for these controls will be set out in relevant method statements and the Inspection and Test Plan.

    Control of Noise

    INTRODUCTION

    Regulations governing Noise at Work change from April 2006 and the old control levels of 90dB(A) and85dB(A) are superseded.

    The new action value levels are as follows:-

    Lower exposure action values;1) daily or weekly exposure of 80dB2) peak sound pressure of 135dB

    Upper exposure action values3) daily or weekly exposure of 85dB

    4) peak sound pressure of 137dB.

    There are also levels of noise exposure limit values that must not be exceeded.These are:-5) daily or weekly exposure of 87dB6) peak sound pressure of 140dB

    Managers shall consider the operations to be undertaken and taking note of the above values, shall:

    A) Arrange for formal noise assessments to be undertaken and take note of the recommended noisereduction measures identified, and ensure operatives and/or others who may be affected, work withinthe controls specified. Or:-B) Work in accordance with one of the generic noise assessments available on the company intranet

    and ensure operatives work within the controls arrangements specified.Or:-C) Ensure that sub-contractors provide suitable noise assessments and that their operatives workwithin the control arrangements specified.

    A persons exposure to noise shall be reduced to the lowest level reasonably practicable at source and/or bymanagement or engineering controls methods before any consideration to the use of hearing protection isconsidered.A competent person shall conduct assessments to identify which of his employees are likely to be exposed tohealth risks from noise, and further assessments will be required as particular operation changes. Records ofsuch assessments shall be maintained on site.

    Sub-contractors shall conduct their own assessment and shall provide copies of these to Morgan Sindall SiteManagement.

    Exposure to noise at or above the lower action values

    Where exposure at or above the lower exposure values is likely, a risk assessment shall be conducted toidentify management measures or engineering control that will reduce noise levels below these values.

    Where noise levels are reduced but remain above the lower action values, but below the upper action value,hearing protection shall be made available to those wishing to use it. The use of PPE shall always be a lastresort. This arrangement may require a reduction of noise in the work area combined with a reduction in thetime of exposure to noise.

    Employees are to receive adequate information, instruction or training to ensure that they are aware of thepotential risks and also the methods of reducing risks.

    STANDARD AND GUIDANCE

    Exposure to noise at or above the upper exposure action values

    Where exposure above these values is likely, noise levels shall be reduced by measures other than solely bythe provision of hearing protection.

    Noise levels shall be reduced to as low as is reasonable practicable by establishing and implementing aprogramme of management measures and engineering controls including, but not limited to;

    Selecting and using quieter methods of working where practicable

    Other work methods that reduce exposure to noise.

    Using work equipment that produce lower noise levels.

    Design and lay out of work areas, particularly where this will remove others from the hazard area.

    Reduce noise exposure by engineering measures, such as acoustic shrouds, enclosures or screens etc.

    Ensure appropriate maintenance of equipment to maximise efficiency and reduce noise exposure levels.

    Limit exposure to noise levels and intensity of exposure.

    Only when all reasonably practicable measures have been taken to reduce noise levels and exposure to noiselevels above the upper exposure action values shall control arrangements require the wearing of hearingprotection. Hearing protection shall always be the last resort.

    Operatives shall be consulted on the noise exposure reductions methods and shall be required to comply withthe controls instigated. They shall also be given adequate information, instruction and training to ensure that

    they use all controls provided effectively and correctlyWhere control measures require the use of hearing protection, suitable hearing protection that providesprotection across the full octave band range shall be provided. It shall be kept in a good, and clean state ofrepair and replaced as and when necessary.

    In circumstances where an operation of work is likely to produce noise levels above the upper exposure actionvalues the area shall be demarcated as a hearing protection zone and approved signs displayed to indicate theaffected area. Persons entering such areas shall be provided with and required to wearing suitable hearingprotection.

    Where the risk assessment indicates that operatives are exposed to noise that is detrimental to their health,they shall be provided with suitable health surveillance. In any case the Company require each operative toattend health surveillance annually.

    All equipment provided for the purpose of controlling or reducing noise i.e. ear defenders, mufflers, acousticscreens etc., shall be maintained in good order.

    Employees have a duty to co-operate with their employers and are required to make full and proper use of anynoise control equipment provided, including ear defenders.

    Exposure limit values

    Person shall not be exposed to noise levels above these values. Where operations of work are likely to exposeoperatives and others above these values the operation must stop until measures are implemented that reducethe exposure to within the limit values.

    ARRANGEMENTS FOR UTILITIES

    On joining the Company employees will receive and complete the Occupational Health questionnaire and ourOccupational Health consultants, Grosvenor Health, shall assess these, and make recommendations. TheHuman Resources Department shall manage the process. If the process indicates that past exposure has ledto symptoms of hearing impairment, a medical practitioners report will be required. Consideration will then begiven as to the hearing protection measures necessary for future work actives. If the questionnaire indicatesthat there is no cause for concern, it will be reviewed on a annual basis to ensure that adequate surveillance ismaintained.

    London Underground Limited ( LUL )

    In accordance with LUL Contract Quensh Conditions 12.

    Undertake the necessary investigation to establish whether or not the construction works have the potential toproduce significant noise impacts in relation to the sensitivity of the surroundings and the work areas. In allinstances make an application to the Local Authority under Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act.NOISE SURVEY SCHEDULE

    A consultant has produced a generic schedule of noise assessments for commonly used items of plant andequipment together with suggested control arrangements, and these are available on the Company intranet,and can be found under the safety section. Managers shall refer to these to assist them in their noise riskassessments for routine operations and shall instigate suitable control arrangements in accordance with these.

    Where the exposure to noise is not sufficiently covered by the generic noise assessments, site-specific noiseassessments shall be commissioned where applicable.

    Where sub-contractors conduct operations, they shall be required to provide suitable and sufficient noiseassessments and shall ensure that their employees work to the control arrangements set out in theirassessments. They shall also be required to provide copies of their assessments and controls to ourmanagement up on request.
