2. SITE MANAGER & SUBSTATIONS WORKS DEFINITIONS

Site Manager is the person who is present during the works and manages this by appointment or designation of the GENUS POWER INFRA STRUCTURE LTD.Construction Manager. The Site Manager will confirm creation of the Protected Area in the installation, checking: Opening with an effective cut-off of all possible sources of voltage. Blocking and signage of the cutting apparatus controls. Verification of the absence of voltage. Earthing and short-circuiting to demarcate the Protected Area. To create the Working Area, the Site Manager will perform the following: Verify the absence of voltage in all the conductive parts which affect the Working Area. Screening if the Safety distances are not complied with. Earthing and short-circuiting on both sides of all the phases which enter the place where the work is being carried out, once the absence of voltage has been checked. Physical demarcation and signage of the area taking into account the minimum distances that will be observed with the voltage elements, by placing signs, barricade tapes, clearance gauge, etc.

Hazardous area or voltage working area. This is defined as the space around the voltage elements in which the presence of an unprotected worker entails a serious and imminent risk of an electric arc or direct contact with a voltage element, taking into account the workers normal movements and gestures, without moving from one place to another. Where no physical barrier is installed to guarantee protection against this risk, the distance from this voltage element to this areas outside limit will be that shown in the following table. Only members of the HOT LINE WORKING TEAM AND/OR ESPECIALLY APPOINTED PERSONNEL are qualified to work in the hazardous area. Proximity Area Demarcated space around the hazardous area, from which the worker can accidentally invade the latter. Where no physical barrier which guarantees protection against the electric hazard is installed, the distance from the voltage element to the outside limit of this area will be that indicated in the following table. Proximity working Work during which the worker enters, or can enter, the proximity area, but without entering the hazardous area, either with a part of the body, or with the tools, equipment, devices or materials being handled. Authorized worker A worker who has been authorized by the employer to carry out certain tasks with electric hazards, based on their capacity to perform these correctly, in accordance with the procedures provided by Royal Decree 614/2001. Qualified worker An authorized worker who possesses specialized know-how relating to electric installations, due to their accredited professional or university training, or certified experience of two or more years. In H.V. work in the proximity of voltage this worker will be responsible for determining feasibility of the work taking into account that the workers will remain outside the hazardous area. Protected area In a discharge installation, this is the area in which the limits are defined by the earthing and short-circuiting placed between the cut-offs, whether in proximity thereto or not. It is never considered to be a working area. Working Area. This is the area defined and marked out by the GPIL Site Manager and assigned thereby

to the staff for whom he is responsible. It is normally defined by the work earthings. Safety Meetings. Prior to commencement of the work the Site Manager will meet with the staff for whom he is responsible to inform them of the contents of this document. This meeting will form part of the Training received by the workers.If necessary, this meeting will determine the discharges that will be requested and the dates on which these will be performed. Likewise the material storage areas and access areas to the work points will be defined. Minutes of this meeting will be taken and each participant will sign their attendance at the meeting. Safety Distance. In High and Medium Voltage installations the minimum distance that will be maintained with regards to a bare voltage element is called the Safety Distance (measured between the closest voltage point and any end part of the operative or tool used thereby). Maintaining sufficient minimum distances is an essential factor in prevention of accidents of an electrical nature. The safety distance depends on: The voltage level of the installation. The operatives training. The method of work and organization thereof. The minimum safety distance depends on the line voltage and on the distance of the line supports. When the temperature increases, the conductors lengthen and therefore the distance from the ground is reduced. This can be reduced by various metres in the event of a strong increase in temperature. Wind causes the conductors to swing, the width of which can also extend to various metres. The most unfavourable placement will always be considered. For work outside the limit of the start of the electric hazard the following requirements will be complied with: All employees may work, that is, those who have not received any training relating to electric hazards. However, before commencing work, they will receive verbal instructions relating to the electric hazards involved in the installation work. The Site Manager will check that unqualified personnel cannot enter the limit of the start of the electric hazard. Work can be performed in distances less than the start of the electrical hazard: Qualified workers will perform electrical work. Qualified workers are understood to be those with a minimum experience in electrical work in H.V. installations and who have received training in electric hazards.

For start-up of the elevation apparatus one of the following safety measures will be adopted: Insulation of bare conductors: placement and removal of the insulation will be performed by the owner of the line.

Limiting movement of transfer, rotation and elevation by mechanical stop devices. Limiting the work area of the devices by means of protection barriers. These demarcate the minimum distance between the device and the line.

Protection blocks and barriers For vehicles, such as cranes, diggers, excavators, etc., the areas which will not be crossed will be indicated by means of placing barriers which prevent all contact with parts under voltage. These barriers will be safely secured and resist the usual mechanical strengths. Protection barriers are constructions generally formed by vertically placed supports, the foot of which is solidly secured in the ground, braced by means of cables, joined by rails or planks. The rails or planks will prevent access to the hazardous area. The maximum vertical space between the rails or planks will not exceed 1.00 m. Instead of placing rails or planks, retention cables can be used with the appropriate signage. The cables will always be well tightened. The vertical space between the tension cables will not exceed 0.50 m.

3. SUPPRESSION OF VOLTAGE:
1. Open, with a visible cut, all sources of voltage, by means of switches and breakers which ensure that no unforeseen closing of the source is possible. 2. Jamming or blocking if this is possible, of the cutting apparatus: - Mechanically: using safety locks, locking pins, padlocks, etc. - Electrically: using fuses, breakers, etc. Signage of the apparatus controls: using standardized signs and placing these on the activation controls of the cutting devices with the words: Operations prohibited, work in progress. 3. Verifying the absence of voltage. In all the installations active element and as near as possible to the work area. Using appropriate voltage detectors.

To confirm the absence of voltage in insulated cables or conductors which might be confused with others present in the working area, use devices which act on the conductors such as: cable cutters, etc. Use of Personal Protection Equipment appropriate for the work being carried out. 4. Earthing and short-circuiting of all possible sources of voltage. 5. Signage of the working area. Demarcate the working areas using tapes, fences, chains, etc. Signal the cutting apparatus controls and the areas defined for performance of the work. Signs which indicate obstacles and hazardous areas have yellow and black or red and white borders at an angle of 45. Those which indicate work areas are triangular in shape with a black pictogram on a yellow background with black edges.

Procedure for re-energization: This will commence when the work has been completed and workers, materials or tools no longer been required have been removed from the area. Withdrawal of the earthing and short-circuiting. The cut out devices will be unblocked. The signage and protection of the work area will be removed. The circuits will be closed to replace the voltage.

4. TRANSPORT MACHINERY

AND

STORAGE

OF

MATERIALS

AND

4.1 Transport of Material Vehicles used to transport materials will comply exactly with the provisions of the traffic code, paying particular attention to the following points: Materials will be perfectly secured to the vehicle box or chassis, by means of straps and slings, to prevent them from slipping or falling. They will not protrude from the box in excess of the legally stipulated distance. If they do protrude this will be perfectly indicated and in no case they may protrude transversally.

Transport within the work site will be performed with vehicles authorized by Isolux Ingeniera, S.A., and following the Construction Managers instructions. The weight of the load will not exceed the weight authorized by the official bodies, and in no case will the technical features of the vehicle be exceeded. During the transport the driver will be responsible for both the vehicle and the materials transported. 4.2 Storage of Materials Access Roads Before storing materials in the work site, the land will be checked in order to choose the best access road or, if necessary, the repair or contruction of one access road. The access tracks or roads will be sufficiently wide to avoid scrapes and collisions of both materials and of personnel working on site. Likewise, care will be taken to ensure that the slopes are not steep, in order to ensure that the vehicles or materials do not fall or roll over due to a change in their centre of gravity. Construction of these access roads will be performed with the appropriate machines and equipment, in accordance with the volume and requirements of the works. It will also be recommendable to place signs to prevent confusion and unnecessary manoeuvres which result in time being wasted. The machinists will be specialized professionals, and the machines may only be used by personnel who are authorized and duly trained in their handling and maintenance. Loading and unloading materials If carried out with mechanical resources, these operations will be directed by the machinist who will be responsible for both the vehicle and the materials. Loading and unloading will be performed with the appropriate resources, and both polyester straps and steel slings, covered in plastic to prevent scrapes, will be provided. If the load protrudes from the box and is driven along roads, the regulations established in the traffic code will be taken into account and any possible protrusions of the load will be signalled. When loading and unloading materials it is compulsory to use the helmet, safety footwear and gloves. Manual loading and unloading Handling and transporting loads manually can cause muscular injuries, mainly in the back, as well as entrapment of limbs, cuts, abrasions, etc. Handling materials, tools or objects will be performed in a rational manner, and any efforts in excess of a persons physical capacity will be avoided. Special care will be taken in the coordination of movements in order to avoid overexertion and entrapments. Manual loads will not exceed 25 kg,, and only in occasional situations which do not

involve any risks, handling loads of up to 40 kg may be permitted. The following series of basic rules will therefore be observed: Restrict manual transport to small loads Correct posture and securing Keep the back straight and take the greatest part of the strain by flexingstretching the legs Use correct PPEs: gloves, boots, etc.

When an operation is performed by a number of workers, only one will be responsible for the manoeuvre. Loading and unloading reels will be performed with the help of ropes and ramps, rolling the reels on the two edges. No operative will stand in front of the reel while it is being moved. If the reels are not going to be used, they will be lain down to prevent them from rolling, and if they are supported on the edges, they will be perfectly secured on both sides.

Loading with mechanical resources Lifting loads with mechanical resources involves, among others, risks due to the fall of heavy objects, becoming trapped or knocked, as a result of failures in the crane or in the fastening elements. Electrical accidents can also occur as a result of direct contacts or electric arcs. The following rules will therefore be complied with: Prior analysis of the manoeuvre to be performed, location and movement of machinery taking especially into account the safety distances and live elements. The machine will earthed and well stabilized on firm ground. The fastening elements to be used will be checked: slings, straps, hooks, shackles, etc. checking their condition and that the work load is indicated and is appropriate for the manoeuvre to be performed. The load will be secured so that it maintains a stable position, and all the slings support equal loads. As far as possible placing the slings directly on pointed edges will be avoided. We will aim to use a type of securing that does not reduce the load on the slings. The Works Manager will perform a detailed follow-up of the manoeuvre, the hoisting will be performed slowly and no people will be allowed to pass under or remain in the load hoisting area, expect when the load is received. No loads which exceed those indicated in the machine load diagram will be hoisted. The load limiter will not be cancelled or inoperable. In the event of a storm or strong winds (of around 60 km/h), the work with cranes

will be interrupted. The crane will never be left with the engines running or with a load. The hoisting of persons in cages or baskets not designed for this purpose is prohibited.

Storage of materials Materials will be stored rationally in a manner that prevents them from collapsing or sliding. Insulator boxes will be placed on top of each other, inserting wedges in their sides to prevent the boxes from sliding or falling. Tower assembly iron will be stored classified by size, without stacking excessive amounts that may lead to deformation. Materials which due to their fragile nature or function so require will be properly packaged and protected, thereby preventing damage due to scraping or impact from other materials. They will also be marked with a sign requesting caution when handling or transporting.

5. GENERAL LAYING OUT WORKS

Climbing or accessing via areas with a steep slope will be avoided, unless properly attached to a fall prevention system (lifeline, fall arrest device and safety harness). The entire work team will use special anti-slip boots for avoiding falls down slopes and same-level falls. All inspection or laying-out works at a height will be performed with a fall prevention system (lifeline, fall arrest device and safety harness). Access to formwork areas or heights of factory structures and constructions for inspections or data recording will be via the stipulated staircases or other suitable access means, such as tubular structures (fixed ladders). Laying-out works may not be performed on the structures until the edges and gaps are protected with the corresponding railings or nets for covering the gaps. During laying-out works, persons will not remain in areas with risk of falling objects. Work teams will be notified of the presence of persons and avoid using tools until the area is clear. When hammering down pegs with the aid of long strike plates, gloves and strike plates with hand guards will be used. It will be avoided the use of strike plates with deformations in the impact area due to the risk of projection of steel particles to the face and eyes. Safety glassess will be used during these operations.

Laying-out teams will not stay in worksites with moving machinery and areas where material is delivered in trucks, maintaining the distance to the layingout work agreed by the Management and the Construction Manager. In worksites where it is necessary to perform inspections with machinery in operation and in motion, these inspections will be preferably performed after stopping the construction process for a moment, facing the machine at all times. Before performing laying-out works, the presence of electrical cables and other affected services will be checked to prevent direct or indirect contact with them. Laying-out works in traffic areas will be performed wearing reflective vests and, in case of high traffic risk, with the aid of sign bearers. Dielectric survey rods will be used. A first-aid kit will be kept in the vehicle at all times, including anti-inflammatories for insect bites.

6.

EXCAVATION AND EARTHWORKS

All affected services, whether water, gas or electricity, that may be present within the radius of the excavation works will be perfectly located, arranging their re-routing or shut-down with the corresponding supply company. If unexpected underground ducts or services are encountered, works will stop immediately and an urgent notification will be sent to the Construction Management. Works may be re-started when determined by the Construction Management. Before starting the works, the work site will be inspected for possible cracks or earth movements. Truck scoop loading operations will be directed by the supervisor. It is forbidden to work or watch the works within the radius of action of the arm of an earth moving machine. In general, in excavation works the necessary precautions will be taken to prevent collapses according to the nature and condition of the land and the way of performing the works. If water is present on site, it will be immediately removed to prevent ground alterations that may affect the stability of the slopes. The excavation front made by machine may not exceed more than one meter the maximum height of attack of the machine's arm. The front and vertical walls of an excavation will always be inspected by the supervisor when starting or stopping the works, marking the points that will be touched before starting or stopping the works.

All work on the foot of a slope will stop whenever the necessary stability conditions are not fulfilled. Work at the foot of shorings that are not firm or have an uncertain stability will stop. In this case, before any more work is performed, the shoring will be reinforced or braced. Special care will be paid to any elements present near the work areas whose support bases may be damaged by the excavation, such as trees, electricity posts, etc. The walls of the excavation will be carefully inspected after heavy rainfall or freezing weather, landslides, or when work is interrupted for more than one day. Working at the foot of unstable slopes is forbidden. Storing earth or materials less than two metres from the edge of the excavation is forbidden, to prevent overloads and possible earth collapses. Materials will not be stacked in transit areas, removing any objects that hinder passage. Vehicles will not travel closer than 4 metres from the excavation edge. Mudholes will be avoided whenever possible. The area of action of each machine in its worksite will be delimited. Whenever a stopped vehicle or machine begins an unexpected movement, it will emit an acoustic signal. When vehicles move backward or in low visibility conditions, an operator will provide assistance from outside the vehicle. These precautions will be especially observed when the vehicle or moves to a different worksite or when vehicle paths cross. When a load transport vehicle will approach the excavation edge during or after excavation work, safety blocks will be placed after checking the resistance of the ground to the weight of the vehicle. In material dumping operations with trucks, an assistant will direct operations to prevent running over persons. Excavation machines will have a roll bar. Earth and materials will not be stored less than two metres from the edge of the trench, which will be suitable marked. Avoid accumulating materials or other heavy objects near the edge of the trenches. If this is inevitable, take measures to prevent the walls from collapsing and the materials or objects falling into the trench. If the work requires illumination, use insulated and grounded turrets with outdoor spotlights powered by a general work electrical board. If the work requires portable illumination, use 24-volt lamps. Portable lamps will have a protective mesh and electrically insulated casing and handle. Workers working in trenches will be separated from each other by at least 1 metre.

7. TRENCH EXCAVATION
Excavation earths will be kept away from the trench to prevent stones and rubble from falling into the trenches. Particular care will be paid to any elements present near the work areas which can have their support bases damaged by the excavation, such as trees, curbs, lampposts, electricity posts, etc. When appropriate, brace or anchor these elements to prevent them from falling. The entry of surface water into the trench will be avoided. Drainage of deep trenches will be performed according to the solutions foreseen in the Technical Documentation and/or requesting complementary Documentation from the Project Management. When the machine will be placed above the area to excavate and at the edge of excavations, if the ground allows, a retrodigger will be used or refining will be performed manually. If an unforeseen electrical line is found, some of the following preventive measures will be adopted immediately:
Stop excavation works near the line. Uncover the line manually without damaging it and exercising great care. Protect the line to prevent damaging it, prevent access of personnel to the area

and inform the supply company. A supervisor of the supply company will be present in all works performed near live lines. Works near gas conducts will be performed in a manner that prevents breaking the conducts, with the means necessary to ensure that workers' lives are not in danger in case of leaks. Machines or compression hammers may not be used under any conditions for excavation near gas pipes in service. As a rule, if the location of the gas pipe is perfectly known, excavations with machine or compression hammer will be stopped one meter from the pipe containing gas. The rest of the excavation works will be performed by hand, using shovels or hoes and not pickaxes if the ground allows. To remove earth less than 0.5 m. from the gas pipe, the supply company will be asked to cut off supply and bleed the affected pipe segment. The pipe will not be undermined until it has been suspended from elements calculated specifically to prevent deformation and cracking of the pipe. No excavation earth or any other materials will be accumulated next to the edge of the excavation. A distance of at least twice the depth of the excavation at the corresponding edge will be observed, unless otherwise authorised for each case by the Project Management. An inlet and outlet channel will be established for material storage and clearing units. A work pace will be established that prevents accumulations.

Work from the higher level to the lower level to use the force of gravity. Control dust by spraying water periodically. In intersections with other vehicles, the latter vehicles will stop. Earth Extraction and Transport All safety elements of subcontracted or rented machinery will be revised before being used on site, requiring an updated maintenance book and a certificate showing revision by an authorised mechanical garage. The maximum load specified for each vehicle will not be exceeded. Vehicles will not carry persons outside the driver's cab or carry more persons than the number of seats of the vehicle. The vehicle's access paths and routes will be indicated. Before starting works on site, subcontracted vehicles will have a valid Insurance Policy with Unlimited Civil Liability, a company card and social security payments in order. Informative signs and standard signage will be placed to warn workers of the risk of overturning vehicles, collision and being run over.

8. CONCRETING, FILLING AND COMPACTING TRENCHES

In public roads in use, all machinery will be removed at the end of the work day, establishing a place to park them. The materials, machinery, instruments and tools needed to carry out the work will be placed in a location that minimises their incidence on pedestrian and vehicle traffic, using areas not normally used by these. They will be carefully ordered, fenced and signed, minimising the surface occupied and remaining only as long as needed for their use or inclusion in the work. When visibility conditions advise so, workers will be given work clothes that ensure that they are seen by drivers. The work team will be assigned a minimum separation between workers according to the auxiliary means used to prevent collisions and interferences between them. Workers will receive training on the correct use of the Personal Protective Equipment needed to carry out their work. Workers handling rollers or compacters will be specialised in the use of these machines and hold the corresponding accreditation. All vehicles will be revised periodically, particularly regarding their pneumatic actuation systems, recording the revisions in the maintenance book. Cutting of floor slabs will be performed with a wet line system that prevents dust emission. If the pieces will be cut in a dry line, the operator will be placed upwind to avoid inhaling dust produced while cutting. The operator will also use eye-protection

goggles and a dust mask with a mechanical filter adjusted to the eye-protection equipment. No persons may remain within a radius of 5 metres around compacters and rollers in operation (as the operator's visibility is poor within this radius). All vehicles used for this work will have an automatic reverse gear acoustic signal. Compacter and roller vehicles will have a safety cab providing protection in case of rollover. All vehicles used will have a valid insurance policy with unlimited civil liability. Drivers of any vehicle with a closed cab will use a safety helmet when exiting the cab inside the worksite.

9. INSTALLATION OF DUCTS IN DITCHS

When materials will be unloaded, first select an even storage place on which to place the tube segments with the suitable protections preventing them from moving and therefore from falling. If tubes are stacked, do so carefully to prevent a subsequent collapse of the stack. After preparing the ground on which the tubes will be placed, transport the tubes parallel to the layout. The measures described above will be observed during these operations. The tube will not be used as a support point for entering and exiting the trench, even if it is completely immobilised. The ladders provided for this purpose will be used. Walking on the tubes is forbidden. Handle the various materials and auxiliary means used in the assembly properly to prevent injury.

10. FOUNDATIONS AND CONCRETING

The concrete mixer truck will always be parked inside the demarcated work area, in no case out of the marked, signed and suitably demarcated areas. Before pouring concrete, the resistance and stability of the formwork will be checked. When concrete will be poured directly from the truck into a trench or a different level, place a safety block or place the truck at least 2 metres from the edge to avoid overloads on the edge that may lead to collapse.

During approach manoeuvres, the concrete mixer trucks will remain more than 2 metres from the excavation edge. Concrete truck movements in reverse gear will be directed by a single person to avoid giving contradictory instructions. Take care when lowering the chute to avoid entrapment of hands. When a concrete pump is used, a basket will be present at the worksite to collect the ball used to clean the concrete pump pipe. If the pump pipe is jammed, release the pressure before banging the pipe to find the jam. The concrete mixer will leave the work site with its chute fully retracted. Protective rubber gloves will be used when working with concrete or mortar. When a mechanical crane is used to pour the concrete, special attention will be paid to the movement of the bucket with the concrete to prevent being hit by it. If an electric vibrator is used, rubber gloves will be worn. Before starting the works, the work site will be inspected to detect possible cracks or earth movements. Trenches will be checked at regular intervals whenever they may receive pressure from nearby paths with vehicle traffic, and particularly if there are nearby worksites using pneumatic hammers, vibration compacters or if earth moving machinery passes nearby. When the depth of the trench is two meters or more, the upper edges will be protected with a regulation railing placed at least 2 metres from the edge. wooden plankways of 60 cm wide will be installed with 90 cm high solid railings and protection to prevent persons from passing or sliding under the railings or objects falling on persons. When pouring concrete, observe the formwork and reinforce any weak points. In case of failure, it is best to stop pouring and resume it only when the formwork performance is correct. Worksites will have a simple and safe access and be kept clean and ordered at all times, with measures to ensure that the floor is not dangerous. Foundation pits and trenches will be properly signed to prevent persons from falling into them. Vehicles will not pass closer than 4 metres from the foundation edge. Hand tools will be attached to a snap hook to prevent falls to a lower level. All electrically actuated machines will have the corresponding ground connection and

differential switches, with all connections and cables in good condition. Electrical connections will be established by sealed mechanisms for outdoor use. No workers may stand behind the concrete mixer trucks when they move in reverse gear. Install a safety line secured to solid points to attach the full safety harness hook during work with risk of falls from height.

11. WORKS WITH STEEL REINFORCEMENT BARS (REBARS)

A space will be provided in the worksite for classified storage of rebar rolls, near the reinforcement assembly location. Rebar roll packages will be stored horizontally on wooden sleepers, layer by layer, avoiding stack heights above 1.50 metres. Package points will be protected with caps that will not be removed until their final assembly in the worksite. The rebar workshop will be located such that the crane has access to it without the hanging loads passing over the assembly workers. When lifting the bars, avoid passing the iron packages over the workers. Overhead transport of rebar packages with the crane will be performed hanging the load from separated points by slings. Assembled reinforcing bars will be stored in the assigned places separated from the place of assembly. Iron and steel waste or excess material will be collected and stored in the specified place for subsequent loading and transportation to the dump. Brads, wires and rebar waste around the worksite will be swept daily. Mounted reinforcing bars will be carried to the location hung from the crane hook by slings attaching it to two separated points to prevent unwanted deformations and displacements. Overhead transportation of pillars in vertical position is forbidden. The pillars will be hung from two points by slings to a point near their final location and deposited on the ground. Vertical transportation will only be allowed for their exact positioning on site.

Rebar grids will be fitted with wooden planks to prevent workers feet from falling into the gaps when walking on them. Climbing on the reinforcing grids is forbidden in all cases. Walkways will be installed with a width of three planks to allow walking on the formwork in the negative reinforcement stage. Onsite location operations for the mounted rebars will be directed by a three-person team, of which two persons will use ropes in two directions to guide the piece to install, following the instructions of the third person, who will make the vertical alignment corrections manually. Hand tools will be carried on snap hooks or in a tool bag. All floor gaps will be protected with rigid railings with a minimum height of 90 centimetres, with a protection that prevents persons passing or sliding under them or objects falling on persons. Stored rebars implying a risk to workers will be protected with caps. 12. MASONRY WORKS The condition of the auxiliary means used in the work will be checked at the start of each day. The worksites will be maintained in orderly and clean conditions, free of rubble and garbage mainly, by removing them with hoppers or carrying them to areas designated as dumps. Throwing rubble directly out of faade openings or gaps is forbidden. Transit surfaces will be free of obstacles, whether materials, tools or rubble, which may lead to risk of same-level falls. Work sites will be properly lit. Otherwise, additional lighting will be provided with a protection mesh and 24V safety power supply. Ceramic material will be lifted to the floors without breaking the straps supplied with them by the manufacturer. Do not handle them with the body or hands, only with ropes.Loose material will be stacked in an orderly inside carrying platforms, ensuring that the pieces cannot fall. Loading, unloading and transport operations, both manual and mechanical, will be performed following the recommendations of the specific procedures. Auxiliary means will be installed according to the specific procedures. The storage location will be suitably marked. Special care will be taken in brickwork with flying fragments when cutting the bricks with a trowel. Particle protection goggles will be worn during this activity.

Special care will be observed when using cutting tools. However, it is recommended to follow the instructions provided in their specific procedure. The worksite will be kept clean and marked, as will be the glass and ceramic etc. cutting areas. Special care will be taken when working with marble to prevent crushing of limbs or organs. All work with a risk of flying particles will require the use of safety glasses with clear, tempered, curved and optically neutral glass, a sturdy rim, universal bridge and perforated plastic side protections. When necessary, the glass will be graduated and protected by another superimposed glass. When placing steps or baseboards on stairs, seal off the floors under the work area to prevent person transit in areas with risk of falling objects. Cutting tools will be in perfect working condition. Machine tools will observe the provisions of their specific procedure. RENDERING AND FINISHING Transit and support surfaces will be kept clean and orderly at all times for rendering works to prevent accidents due to slipping. Platforms on sawhorses used for plastering (and the like) of roofs will have a firm horizontal surface made of planks, avoiding steps and gaps that may lead to trips and falls. Scaffolding for indoor rendering will be made on sawhorses. The use of barrels, ladders and stacks of material for this purpose is forbidden. The area in which these works are performed will be suitably lit (100 lux or with portable lamps) In transport of rules and planks the leading end will be above the height of the helmet of the worker carrying it. If it is carried on a wheelbarrow, the package will be firmly secured to it. Cement bags will be carried on wheelbarrows and stored orderly next to the worksites where they will be used, as separated as possible to prevent overloads. Mark off the area with banner tape and No Entry signs when there is danger of flying particles of the materials used in the process. METALWORK AND WOODWORK Frames (sashes, passage doors, flashings) will tied) hanging by slings from the tower crane hook. be unloaded perfectly strapped (or

Woodwork material will be stored in the locations specified in the drawings to prevent accidents due to interference. Door frames, leaves, etc. will be lifted to the floors in strapped (or tied) blocks hanging from the crane hook by slings. Once they are in the floor of location the straps will be released and the material will be unloaded by hand. Worksites will be kept free of rubble, metal scraps and other pointed objects to prevent accidents due to stepping on them. Final railings may not be stored on formwork edges to prevent risks due to collapse. Before using any machine tool, check that it is perfect condition and has all safety mechanisms and guards installed and in good condition to prevent accidents. Frames will be installed by at least one team to prevent falls and knocks. Lower horizontal anti-deformation grounds will be installed at a height of about 60 cm. They will be made of white wood preferably to make them more visible and prevent trips. Lower anti-deformation grounds will be removed immediately after the hardening process of the frame (or sash) installation to eliminate the risk of trips and falls. Hanging of door (or window) leaves will be performed by at least two workers to prevent accidents due to imbalance, flips, knocks and falls. Work areas will have a minimum illumination of 100 lux at a height of 2 m. Portable illumination will be performed by waterproof lamps with insulated handles and bulb protection mesh powered at 24 V. Electrical cables may not be connected to power supply boards without malefemale connectors to prevent electrical hazard. Ladders will be step ladders with anti-slip shoes and safety chain. Sanding operations with a manual electric sander will always be performed under air current ventilation to prevent accidents related to working in harmful atmospheres.Storage of glues and varnishes will have direct and continuous ventilation, a dry chemical fire extinguishers next to the access door and fire hazard and no smoking signs on the door to prevent possible fires. Removing the ground connection of machine tools is expressly forbidden. A sticker will be attached to each one specifying this if they do not have double insulation.

16. PLUMBING INSTALLATIONS

Plumbing fixtures, when received on the appropriate floor, will be moved directly to where they will be installed to avoid creating obstacles in internal (or external) transit areas. When a single person is transporting sections of pipe on their will er, the load will be inclined backwards, in order that the front end is above will height to prevent Samelevel falls or impacts against other personnel. Work benches will be kept clean and in good condition, avoiding chipping or splinters during the work. The safety protection of apertures in the floor structures will be replaced immediately once plumbing work for vertical conduits has been completed in order to prevent the risk of falls. The operator performing plumbing installations will wear a safety belt at all times. The work area will be kept clear of off-cuts and debris. These will be cleared as work progresses, piled in a proper location until disposed of down the chutes. Welding and soldering with lead is prohibited in enclosed spaces. Whenever performing welding or soldering work with lead, establish a current of air to ensure proper ventilation and prevent exposure to toxic fumes. Electrical lighting will be provided using portable lamps, properly grounded, with insulated handles and protective cage over the bulb. For welding and soldering work, operators will follow the instructions provided in the corresponding procedures. Plumbing fixtures will be carried on the will er, separating broken fixtures and their fragments carefully. The installation of plumbing fixtures will be performed by at least three persons: two to move the piece and a third to position it in its proper position to prevent falls or trapped fingers.

17. INSTALLATION OF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

Materials will be piled in a previously designated location. Equipment and materials will be hoisted with the help of resistant balancing poles using with the crane hook. Materials will be positioned on the ground which has been previously prepared using pallets or boards to distribute the weight. From here the materials will be transported to their storage area or where they are to be installed.

18. INSTALLATION OF FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Before beginning the project, the construction method, type of scaffolding to be used and the transit routes of the site will all be approved by the Project Management. A study will be made for the preparation of the work areas in order to determine the most appropriate installation of scaffolding and ladders in transit areas and forms of access.

Work and transit areas will be kept clean, neat and well lighted at all times. Equipment and machinery will be kept in perfect condition, using the most appropriate equipment and tools for each task. Equipment will only be used by personnel who are fully qualified and authorised by the project supervisor.

19. INSTALLATION OF THE TRANSFORMER

This work is divided into the following sequences: Unloading Levelling and securing to the base. Assembly, cabling and connection. Unloading This first sequence of the work involves the risk of falling objects during handling, impacts against stationary objects and overexertion. If the unloading is being performed using a crane, verify that the load is within the maximum permitted load weight. Ensure that the hook has a safety latch and that the stirrups are correctly positioned and can support the load weight. Operators performing this task will wear safety gloves and boots. Loads will always be suspended at four points as the hooks are sometimes welded rather than connected to the frame. These welded joints are not always secure and suspending loads from less than four points can cause joints to break. Once the equipment has been unloaded, it will be moved to its place of installation, depending on the distance, by auxiliary mechanical equipment, hand carts or similar. The equipment will never be dragged across the floor regardless of how smooth as this can cause injuries to operators (overexertion), and also damage both the floor and the equipment itself.

Levelling and securing to the base Once the equipment is positioned on its base, it will be levelled using a spirit level or plumb line. Once level, proceed with the fixing of the equipment to the base either using screws or welding. The equipment will be initially welded to the base with a series of wellspaced points. The operator performing this task will use the clothing and safety equipment appropriate for this work. If screws are used to fix the base, the appropriate screwdriver will be used. Assembly, cabling and connection For cabling and connection, the risks involved are impacts and cuts from hand tools which will be used with caution.

21. CABLE SPOOL STORAGE AND INSTALLATION.

Cable spools will be stored in closed locations, especially when being stored for long periods of time, in which case they will be covered with tarps or other means. Spools of LA conductor can be stored outdoors providing the free ends are properly secured and retained. Spool of insulated conductors can be stored outdoors providing the free ends are properly protected from the elements (removable caps, staples or clamps, etc.).

Spools will be stored on paved surfaces, free of mud or dust even when outdoors. The protective slats will remain on the spools until their moment of use. Spools will be stored in vertical position, installing wedges at the base of the spool or using similar means to guarantee stability. Spools will be stored with a minimum gap of 7.5 cm between the spools.

7.5 cm (min) Only those spools with a protective cover can be piled face to face. The bottom spools will be properly footed or secured with wedges to ensure stability.

Spools will never be stored on their flat side or face.

The remains of any cable yet to be used will always be stored under cover and with the free ends protected (including connections on MT cables). Spools will always be rolled in the direction in which the cable was spooled.

When spools will be moved and rolled on the ground, this will be done in a manner which prevents the spools from remaining or rolling on unstable or uneven ground or surfaces. This operation is only acceptable for very short displacements on the site. Spools will always be handled using cranes or forklifts.

Cable will always be unwound in the opposite direction in which the cable was spooled. The spools will be unwound as indicated in the figures below:

Correct manner to rewind the spool:

22. CABLE LAYING AND CONNECTIONS

1 Cable laying The operation can be divided into the following sequences: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. Selection of the work area. Transport of spools and equipment. Preparation for laying cables. Laying cables. Termination of cable laying. Selection of the work area

* Before beginning the work it is necessary to determine the position of the cable spools and the ideal location for the lifting jacks. * This area will provide a solid and firm surface. If this is not possible, the jacks will be positioned on boards to increase the support surface, guaranteeing solidity and stability. * The area where the spools are stored will be close to the work area and not pose an obstacle to work or transit areas. * Both areas will be sign-posted appropriately. 2. Transport of spools and equipment

* Cable spools will be transported by truck and loaded and unloaded using a crane. * The risks inherent in the phase of the installation are impacts and contusions, injuries and scrapes when carrying out these operations. To reduce these risks, operators will proceed as indicated below: o All clamps, stirrups and axes to be used will be in good condition and appropriate for the load weight to be transported. o The spools will be secured with wedges or footings inside the bed of the truck during transport. Personnel will not remain in the bed during transport.

o Los lifting jacks will be appropriate for the load weight of the spools and will be checked and lubricated in the workshop before being taken to the site. o If the operation requires the use of electric winches, these will be checked, verifying they are in perfect mechanical and electrical condition before leaving the workshop. Operators will ensure that gears, pinions, traction chain, etc, all function correctly, the steel cable rides on and off the drum properly. This will be lubricated before being taken to the site. The levels of pinion fluid and the ground connection will also be checked.

o The jacks, axes, winches and other tools and equipment will be transported to the site with the cable spools.

o The crane hook will be equipped with a safety latch. 3. Preparation for laying cables

* The risks inherent in the phase of the installation are elevated falls, impacts and/or contusions, injuries, entrapments by the slings and/or cables, etc. * Personnel will use the appropriate personal safety equipment at all times, including hard hats, safety gloves and safety belts where necessary. * When laying a cable on a cable tray the lift jacks will be positioned under the trays where the cables will enter, in order that there is an inclination of some 120 between the first roller of the tray and the cable spool. The spool will then be mounted on the jacks, if very heavy a crane or hoist will be used, raising the spool until the steel axle fits the axle holders of the jacks. * Once the spool is in position, the slats protecting the cable will be removed one by one with the nails belt back to prevent possible injuries. Once the spools are uncovered, the slats will be cleared from the area. * The winch will be installed at the other end of the installation. If this is very long and presents angles or corners, additional winches will be positioned to pick up the slack which will then be recovered by the final winch. Only for power cables, m.t. cables and 380 v.- 150 cm. * The steel cable winches will be fixed to the structure using shackles and clamps, verifying they are secure. * Rollers will be installed the length of the trays, spaced depending on the diameter and weight of the cable. * Then, releasing the pinions of the last winch, the steel cable is pulled, laid across the rollers until the end reaches the spool. * The electrical cable to be laid will be unrolled a few turns and when the end reaches the floor, the corresponding cable lead will be attached and properly secured to ensure it does not come free. If the cable is damaged during laying it will be replaced immediately. Once the cable lead is attached to the cable to be laid, this will be attached to the steel cable of the winch using clamps or shackles. 4. Cable laying

* Special attention will be paid in this phase of the operation to prevent mistakes or uncontrolled manoeuvres, contusions or impacts. Workers performing these operations will synchronise their actions carefully. * Mistakes or uncontrolled manoeuvres can cause serious accidents and damage the cable. 5. Termination of the installation

* Once the laying of the cable is complete, the winches, spools and other tools and equipment will be collected, leaving the site clear. Finally, the safety signage will be removed.

2 - Connection When proceeding with the connection of the installation, it will be determined if the connection will be performed with or without voltage. If the cables to be connected and the equipment are disconnected, operators will proceed in the following manner: The first action is to verify the lack of voltage in the cables to be connected. Equally, operators will verify that the equipment is also without power if this has an alternative power source.

Once the absence of voltage in the work area has been verified the connection will be made using the appropriate tools.

If the equipment to be connected is in tension, operators will request the disconnection of the same. If the disconnection request is granted, work will not begin until operators have verified that the equipment is disconnected from the power source and that accidental reconnection is impossible. In the case the disconnection request of the equipment is not granted, the operation will be considered as work with tension and operators will proceed as follows: Accessing the connection area, operators will verify this is without tension and that accidental connection is impossible. Live areas or points which are accessible by the operator will be covered or insulated. These areas will be covered using dielectric vinyl coated fabric. Insulated and certified tools will be used at all times. The operator performing this task will wear the following safety equipment: Dielectric Hard hat. Protective face shield. Dielectric gloves, to be protected by work gloves if necessary. Insulated blanket or screen.

24. EARTH GRID

When laying the Grid, the same prevention measures will be observed as the general cable laying. For shunting the main network and take it to the different equipments, the Cadwell welding procedure will be followed. To this end, operators will use working gloves and their personal wear, and follow the sequences below: 1. Check that the moulds are in a clean and unworn condition. Each mould is intended for a given number of weldings. When this number is exceeded, they will not be used again, since the holes through which cables have to tightly pass may become deformed and the melted material may flow out at high temperature causing serious burns and, therefore, to a faulty welding work. 2. The welding material contained in the cone of the mould will not be ignited with matches or burning paper. When using matches, it is necessary to approach

one

hand to the ignition point and it may get burnt. When using burning paper, ashes from the paper together with the material may cause dirty weldings, and this becomes faulty. Always use the lighter that comes with the mould. The connection of these lines to the equipments is made by attaching terminals to the cable ends, which are fixed to plates previously secured to the equipments by means of a screw bolt of the appropriate dimensions.

25. PERMANENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

The warehouse to store electric material will be located in the place designated for that purpose. When openinig and closing wall chases, the order and cleanliness at the worksite will be carefully taken into account. The assembly of electrical devices (magnetothermic switches, breakers, etc.) will be always performed by qualified staff. For the illumination by means of portable lamps , watertight lampholders will be used with insulating handle and bulb protection grid, fed by 24 volts. Connecting wires to the electrical site distribution unit is not allowed without using male-female plugs. Step ladders with anti-slip footings and a chain to prevent overextending will be used. For the correct use of ladders, it is recommended to follow the safety instructions included in the relevant procedures. It is forbidden to create scaffoldings using step ladders by way of sawhorses. For using scaffoldings, it is recommended to follow the safety instructions included in the relevant procedures. Before cabling, hanging and connecting the electrical installation using step ladders or scaffolds on sawhorses a tight safety net will be arranged from the upper level to the lower support level, where works are carried out. In general, step ladders or scaffolds on sawhorses are not allowed when there is risk of falling from a height during electrical works, if adequate safety protections have not been previously installed. Tools to be used by electricians will be protected with approved insulating material against contacts with electric power. Those tools used by electricians whose insulation is damaged will removed and replaced by other tools in good condition. be immediately

To avoid that the buildings electrical system gets unintentionally connected to the mains supply, the last cabling to be performed will be that from the main switchboard to the switchboard of the supplier company, keeping in a safe place the devices required

for connection, which will be the last to be installed. All the personnel will be informed of the operation tests of the electrical system at the worksite before they start, in order to avoid accidents. Before charging the electrical system, a comprehensive review of the connections, protections and direct and indirect joints to the main switchboards will be performed according to the low voltage electrotechnical regulations. The entry into service of transformer cells will Management and the staff will clear the building. be carried out before the Works

27.

ELECTRIC WELDING WORKS

Working areas will be always clean and tidy to avoid tripping and stepping on pointed objects. Metal beams will be secured with slings at two points, so that the upper angle at the mooring ring level formed by the two cables of the sling is 90 or less, in order to avoid risks of stress of the auxiliary means. For hoisting metal beams (frames), ropes will be used until their presentation, never directly with hands, in order to avoid pushing, cuts and entrapments. Presented beams and pillars will be secured and blocked using fastening spindles, lip blocks, slings, the crane hook, etc., until finishing the tack welding in order to avoid unstable situations. This work will not be raised to a higher level until having finished the weld bead of tack welding level, in order to avoid unstable situations in the structure. Metal pillars will be vertically hoisted and being guided by means of ropes, never with hands. Plumbing and stippling will be immediately carried out. Horizontal fireproof nets will be arranged between the centre lines being mounted, in order to avoid risks of falling from a height. Arc lamp radiation is harmful to health. Always use welding hood or hand mask when welding. Do not look directly at the arc lamp. The intensity of light may cause serious eye problems. The weld bead will not be chipped without eye protection. The removed chips of scale may cause serious eye injuries. Do not touch recently welded parts; contrary to its appearance, they may be at temperatures that may cause serious burns. Always weld in well-ventilated places to avoid intoxication or asphyxia. Before starting to weld, check that no people are around the vertical of your workstation in order to prevent them from getting unintentionally burnt.

29.

WORKS AT HEIGHT

During works, workers will be permanently secured, all the time that the work takes. They will use a work rope with two anchor points for these works.

Works at a height can be only performed with the help of equipment intended for that purpose or using collective protection equipments, such as railings, platforms or safety nets. If this is not possible due to the nature of works, safety access means with anchoring or any other similar protection means will be provided. Order and cleanliness in the working area. The manual handling of loads during these works will be in accordance with the R.D. 487/97 on manual handling of loads. When performing these works (lifting, descending and shifts), workers will be permanently secured. The use of a two-anchor work rope is obligatory. The condition of the means to be used will be checked, rejecting those not offering safety for their use. In a stop while ascending/descending or stops made to work, the rope with two anchor points will be always secured before releasing the life system. These ropes will be anchored, whenever possible, above your head in order to have a perfect safety guarantee. If no anchoring can be used above head, they will be anchored at the highest points, avoiding anchoring below the waist. Also, during stops to perform a work and/or when horizontal shifts are required in towers, if possible, the anchoring will be completed using the Anchoring Rope for Securing the Working Position as additional anchoring. When restarting to hoist/descend, this rope will not be released without having previously check that both ends of the two anchoring rope are duly secured. In case of severe weather conditions, works will be stopped. Working alone is prohibited. Tools used at a height will be always inside tool bags. Mandatory use of safety helmet. Working alone is prohibited. Tools used by specialists will be always secured with ropes. No tools or material will be thrown. They will be passed from hand to hand or using a rope or basket for it. If there is any risk of materials falling to a lower level, beacons will be laid down or, if it is not possible, hazard warning signs will be placed in all the affected area. If there is any risk of falling burning materials, the whole affected area will be fenced or signalled and, if there is material or equipment and staff at lower levels, fireproof blankets will be provided. Works at a height will not be performed by people suffering from vertigo or whose physical condition disturb their nervous system, having epilepsy attacks or being sensitive, for any reason, to faint or have dangerous alterations. Platforms, scaffolds and gangways, as well as unevenness, holes and openings in constructions, which may entail for workers a risk of falling from a height of over 2 m, will be protected with railings or any other similar safety system of collective protection. Those places where workers will go through and that, because of being recently built, not being totally finished or any other reason, may entail a hazard, lanes or gangways

made of at least 60 cm wide planks, or pre-fabricated planks, will be provided, in order to ensure the safety of the staff walking on them. Railings will be strong, with a minimum height of 90 cm and provided with a protecting ledge, a guard rail and an intermediate protection preventing the passage of workers. The stability and strength of supporting elements and the good conditions of the protection means will be checked before being used. Then, check them regularly and every time that their safety conditions may be affected by any modification, period of non-use or any other circumstance. No works at a height will start if the safety material is not suitable, or if it is not in good condition or is just missing. Never improvise working platforms; they will be built according to the legal regulations in force. Platforms, gangways, scaffolds and, in general, all places where works are carried out will be provided with easy and safe access and will be free of obstacles, taking the necessary measures to prevent the surface from becoming slippery. Holes and openings used for hoisting materials and, in general, all those made in constructions that, because of their particular location may be hazardous, will be duly protected by solid 90 cm high railings. If working at a height, no tools or materials will be thrown. They will be passed from hand to hand, or using a rope or basket for it. If there is a risk of falling objects to a lower level, beacons will be laid down and, if this is not possible, warning signals indicating the risk in the whole affected area will be installed. If there is any risk of falling burning materials, signs will be installed in the whole affected area and, if materials or equipment and staff are found in lower levels, fireproof blankets will be provided. Access to elevated work platforms will be safely achieved, using service ladders and gangways. Do not access by climbing pillars or walking on beams. The surfaces of working ramps, ladders and platforms will be made of non-slippery materials or will be provided with anti-slip elements. Special attention will be paid not to load the just-built elements with materials, devices or, in general, any other load that may cause their collapse. Operators working in the assembly of metal or concrete structures, or on site elements that, because of their high location or any other circumstances, involve a risk of serious fall, will be equipped with safety harness, duly attached to firmly secured points. Railings being removed or holes being opened for introducing equipment, etc., will be perfectly watched and signalled during the operation, replacing the corresponding protections right after finishing it. To avoid falling objects: Coordinate works so that they do not overlap. If works in the same vertical line are required, install the relevant protections (nets, roofs, etc.)

Demarcate and install signs in areas with risk of falling objects. Install signs and monitor the area where works performing with suspended loads. Loads will be handled from outside the load influence area. This area can be only entered when loads are practically down.

30. EQUIPMENT, MACHINERY AND TOOLS

TRUCK CRANE All hoisting and transportation equipment employed in the project will meet the appropriate general standards of construction, stability and resistance and will be equipped with safety mechanisms or systems to prevent: The fall or sudden swinging of a load due to the malfunction of a machine, hoisting device or transport equipment or the breakage of cables or chains, etc. The fall of persons or materials from the transport receptacles provided for this purpose. The accidental or unexpected start-up. All types of accidents which may affect the operators working with this equipment or in their vicinity. All vehicles and machinery used for handling materials will be: Well designed and constructed, taking ergonomic principles into account wherever possible. Equipped with a certified fire extinguisher, regularly inspected and serviced, in the case of fire. Maintained in good working order. Used correctly. Drivers and personnel responsible for vehicles and equipment used to handle materials will receive the appropriate training. Preventive Measures will be taken to prevent vehicles, earth moving machinery or handling equipment from falling into excavations or water. The ideal location for the crane will be considered before it is positioned. The following criteria will be taken into account: Electrical power lines will be avoided, taking into account that neither the crane boom, nor cables or loads may pass within 5 metres of power lines up to 220KV, 7 metres for power lines of 380KV and 3 metres for power lines up to 66KV. These safety distances will be maintained at all times. Personnel will stay clear of suspended loads at all times. The crane and auxiliary elements will be checked to ensure they are appropriate for the type and weight of the loads. Once the crane is in position, extend the stabilisers as far as possible. The stabilisers will be supported on firm ground. In the case the ground is not completely level, in addition to the truck hand brake, the wheels of the vehicle will be footed. Before positioning the truck crane and its stabilisers the stability of the support area will be verified. Check that there are no buried tanks, pipes, or electrical conduits.

With the stabilisers extended, the total area of the crane will be calculated, checking with the diagrams which will be found in the truck, to ensure the area is sufficient for the required load and inclination. Before using the crane the hoist cables will be checked, disposing of those with a percentage of broken threads in excess of 10%. Oil and fluid levels in the crane will be checked before use. The operator will check the brakes, levers, handles, controls and other equipment to be used, notifying the supervisor in the case of any malfunctions. The crane hook will be equipped with a safety latch. In the case the crane operator cannot see part of the route, the assistance of a signalman will be required. To communicate between them, they will use the codes indicated in Annex VI of R.D. 485/1997, with which they will be perfectly familiar. The manoeuvre will be directed by a single operator at all times, who will be in control the crane, except in the part of the route where the load cannot be seen, when the manoeuvre will be directed by the signalman. The operator directing the load will ignore all signals from other persons with the exception of the emergency stop signal, with which all the personnel involved will be familiar. Before using the crane, the correct functioning of the rotation clutch and load hoist and boom. This manoeuvre will be checked without a load. The control levers will be protected with safety shields to prevent contact with fixed or moving objects. The control levers will be put in vertical position when not in use. Never bypass or disconnect any safety device or element. When the crane is retracted the correct position of the crane boom will be verified before the truck in started. No adjustments will be performed when the truck is in motion. The maximum loads permitted for the various degrees of inclination will be indicated. Operators will only ascend or descend from the crane when the truck is stopped. If contact is made with electrical power cables, do not leave the truck until contact is broken and you are well clear of the place of contact. Jump clear without touching the truck and the ground at the same time. When hoisting the cage, verify that it is properly connected and secured to the hook; raise slowly and ensure there is no danger of overturning; for this, only loads which are completely free can be hoisted, nor exceed the maximum load limit of the crane. Never leave the crane when a load is suspended. The crane operating radius will remain clear of personnel at all times.

HOISTING EQUIPMENT

Ropes A rope is a textile element that will have a minimum diameter of 4 millimetres consisting of twisted or braided fibres with or without core. Ropes used for hoisting or carrying loads will have a minimum safety factor of 10. Do not drag rope over rough surfaces or on the ground, sand or against unprotected angles or pointed edges. All hemp ropes which are returned to storage after use will be inspected their entire length. Any knots in the rope will be undone, as they conserve humidity, and the rope will be washed clean of any stains. When fully dry, the rope will be checked for possible deterioration: cuts, fraying, acid attacks, etc. Ropes will be stored in a dark, dry and well-ventilated location, free of fumes and taking all possible precautions against rats or other rodents. Rope will not be in direct contact with the ground but will be isolated using stakes or pallets which allow air to flow under the coils. Synthetic rope will be stored in temperatures below 60. Avoid unnecessary exposure to light. Avoid contact with oils, acids or corrosive products. Ropes used in fall arrest systems, which have stopped the fall of worker, will not be used again, or at least not for this purpose. Ropes will be checked their entire length before use. Avoid using ropes against pointed angles. If ropes will be used in the vicinity of flame, they will be protected by a leather sleeve, for example. Ropes used to support loads, or work with traction will be free of knots. Knots reduce the strength of the rope. It is essential that ropes be protected from abrasion, avoiding all contact with pointed edges or corners and using a thimble in the rings of the slings. Pressure against pointed edges can cause cuts in the fibres which can dangerously reduce the strength of the rope. To prevent this, a flexible material (cardboard, fabric, etc) will be placed between the rope and the pointed edges. Cables A strand is constituted of various steel wire laid in a helix of one or various layers. A

cable is constituted of one or various strands laid in a helix of one or various layers around a core. Cables will have the construction and size appropriate for the purposes for which they will be used. Cables will have a safety factor of no less than 6. Cable eyes and connection for hooks, rings and clips will be fitted with sufficiently resistant thimbles. Cables will be free of knots, permanent twists or other defects. Cables will be inspected periodically for broken wires. Cables will be replaced if showing more than 10% of broken wires, counting the length of two sections of the cable separated by a distance inferior to 8 times the cable diameter. Cables used to lift or support loads directly will not have any joints at the ends (the only joints or connection permitted are those which are designed to be modified according to operational needs). The use of cables and attachment devices and equipment will be selected in order to guarantee an appropriate level of safety. The diameter of cable drum hoists will not be inferior to 20 times that of the cable, providing it is also 300 times the diameter of the largest wire. Follow manufacturers recommendations for hoisting equipment with regards to the type of cable to be used to avoid premature wear and even breakage. Never used cables other than those recommended. The ends of cables will be protected with end fittings to prevent fraying. The minimum diameter for rolling or bending cables will be carefully observed to prevent deterioration through fatigue. When unrolling a cable from a spool, it is recommended to follow the steps indicated below: Before cutting a cable, all the steel strands will be protected to prevent fraying. Ensure that the cable strength is appropriate before proceeding to use the cable to lift a load. To unroll a reel or spool of cable, this will be rolled on the ground with the free end of the cable secured. Never pull from the free end of the able. Or, let the reel or spool turn, previously installed in an adequate support mechanism fitted a brake to prevent the reel from turning too quickly. To roll up the cable, proceed the inverse in both cases. Cables will never be connected using knots which deteriorate the cable, but by means of end fittings and clamp. Cables are normally supplied lubricated. To guarantee proper maintenance simply use the lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. Some types of special cables will recommendations in all cases. not be lubricated. Follow manufacturers

Cables will be inspected their entire length and after cleaning to remove dirt and encrustationss. The parts of the cable most exposed to deterioration or presenting broken wires will be inspected when the cable is in repose. Inspections will be performed using the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. Cables will be replaced for the following reasons: Breakage of a strand Abnormal and localised reduction in diameter. Existence of knots. When the reduction in diameter of the cable at any point reaches 10% for strand cables or 3% for solid cables. When the number of visibly broken wires reaches 20% of the total number of wires in the cable in a length equal to twice the section of cable. When the reduction in a section of a strand, measured in a section of cable, reaches 40% of the total section of the strand. Chains Chains will be made of steel or forged steel. Chains will have a safety factor of at least five for the nominal maximum load weight. The rings, hooks, links or bands fitted at the ends will be of the same material as the chains to which they are attached. All chains will be inspected before being put in service. When the links suffer excessive deterioration or has been belt or cracked, it will be cut and replaced immediately. Chains will be free of knots or twists. Chains will be rolled on grooved drums, axes or pulleys that allow the chain to be rolled without twisting. Chains are only as strong as their weakest link. Chains will be replaced when: The diameter of a link is reduced 5% through wear. A link is bent, crushed, stretched or open. Th hoist hook and the chain will be connected using a ring. Chains will never be attached on the point of the hook or directly on the neck of the same. When under stress, the chain will be stretched perfectly straight without knots. The chain will be protected against pointed edges. Avoid sudden movements of the load during elevation, descent and transport. Chains become fragile in cold temperatures, under shock or sudden stress and can break instantly.

Chains will be handled with care: avoid dragging them on the ground or leaving them on the ground as they are exposed to the effect of dirt, dust, humidity and chemical agents in addition to the mechanical deterioration which can occur. Chains used to carry loads in hoisting equipment will be properly lubricated to prevent corrosion which may reduce their strength and useful life. Hooks Hooks will be made of steel or forged steel. These will be equipped with latches or other safety devices to prevent loads from slipping free. The parts of the hook which are in contact with chains, cables or ropes will be rounded. Given their form, hooks allow loads to be attached rapidly but pose the risk of accidental detachment which will be prevented. Since these elements work under tension and stress, hooks will be carefully inspected and their manufacture will meet very strict safety norms. Hooks or attachment devices will not fashioned by operators using pieces of steel found on the site or workshop, regardless of the quality of the same. One of the most useful devices to prevent the risk of accidental detachment is the safety hook that is fitted with a latch that prevents the chain or cable from detaching accidentally. Only those hooks equipped with safety devices or latches to prevent accidental detachment or with strong mechanical resistance will be used. Never attempt to deform or alter the shape of a hook to increase its aperture to accept a cable. Never heat a hook, for example in order to solder a piece of material, as heating will modify the characteristics of the steel. An opened or bent hook will be replaced immediately. When attaching a load, ensure that: The load is supported on the base of the hook, never on the point. That the safety device to prevent accidental detachment functions perfectly. That no external force tends to deform the hook aperture. In some cases, the mere swinging of the load can result in these external forces. Rings and clips Rings will be manufactured of forged steel and consist of a stirrup and a threaded axis which is usually screwed to one of the arms of the stirrups. The workload of the rings will be specified by the manufacturer according to the type of steel and the thermal treatments to which it has been subjected. It is very important that the axis of a ring or clip never be substituted with a pin, regardless of the quality of the same.

Clips and rings come in a range of shapes although pear-shaped rings are recommended as they offer the greatest resistance. These elements will retain their geometrical shape over time.

Slings Special attention will be paid to the strength of slings. There are numerous causes for strength reduction: Deterioration due to usage. Knots, which reduce strength by 30 to 50%. The welds of the end rings or eyes, even when expertly performed, reduce strength by 15 to 20%. Cable clips, even when used correctly and in sufficient number. Connections made in this way reduce the strength of the sling by approximately 20%. Hooks of the hoisting equipment will never be positioned on welds or points joined using cable clips or joints. The connections or joints will be positioned on free areas working only with traction. The straps of two slings will never cross over one another on the hook, as in this case one of the cables is compressed by the other. To attach a load safely, the following precautions will be observed: The hooks used will be in perfect condition, without deformations of any kind. The slings and chains will be connected in order that the chain or sling rests at the bottom of the hook curvature and not at the point. The safety latch will be checked to ensure it is in perfect working condition to prevent accidental detachment of the load. If the hook is mobile, this will be well lubricated in order to turn freely. The slings (cables, chains, etc) and hoisting equipment (hooks, cradles, pincers) employed will be appropriate for the load to be lifted. Steel wire or cemented steel will never be used. The cables used for simple slings will be fitted with a lead band or closed by cable ends (cable clips). The cable clips will have a size which is appropriate for the diameter of the cables and positioned in order to sit on the side of the cable where the force is applied. The cable slings will not present signs of rust, deformations or have broken strands or knots. The cables will not be subjected to a load weight superior to one sixth of their breakage weight. If this figure is not known, it can be calculated approximately, using the 2 formula: f(in kg.)= 8 x d (diameter of the cable in mm.) Looped slings, of cable, will be closed either by a lead band installed by a

specialist or using cable clips. The lead band will be in perfect condition at all times. At least four cable clips will be used, sitting on the side of the cable where the force is applied. The same number will be fitted at each side of the centre of the joint. Any chain with a link whose diameter has been reduced by 5% will be replaced. A chain link will never be replaced by a pin or a steel wire ligature, etc. A link will never be welded in a forge or with a torch. The chains used in slings will be calibrated, with ends fitted is rings or hooks. The chains used in the slings will not have any links which are corroded, bent, crushed, opened or dented. Chains will be periodically checked link by link. The chains of the slings will not be subject to a load superior to one fifth of their breakage weight. If this figure is not known, it can be calculated 2 approximately, using the formula: f(in kg.) = 6 x d (diameter in mm.) When using chains, these will be checked to ensure they are not crossed, twisted, mixed or knotted in any way. Do not use in extremely low temperatures if possible. Tense the slings without sudden stress or impacts. Crooks in slings will avoided, especially on pointed edges. Slings will be protected from pointed edges by positioning soft materials such as: wood, rubber, fabric, leather, etc. Check that the load is properly balanced among the straps by progressively tensing the slings. After using slings, these will be placed on supports. If they will be hung from hoisting equipment, attach the sling to the hook and raise the hook as high as possible. Slings will be checked when returned to storage. All slings suffering deformations through use, corrosion, broken filaments, etc, will be replaced. Cables and chains will be lubricated periodically. Slings which are determined to be defective and irreparable will be destroyed. SLINGS

LECTRIC CEMENT MIXER

The machine will be installed on level ground, avoiding transit areas and the proximity of the edges of excavations or trenches. The ground will be properly drained or a platform will be used to avoid wet or muddy ground. Special attention will be paid to the installation of the controls. The start and stop buttons will be far enough apart to prevent them being confused when used. The stop button will be distinguished from the others by being on the exterior, far from the drive belt and painted red. Before start-up, the operator will verify that all the safety devices and systems are installed and in good condition (drive belt and pulley covers, the ground, condition of the cables, levers, tilt lock and other accessoriesPower cables will be positioned off the ground where possible. If not, these will be properly protected and sign posted.

The electrical installations will include a ground connected to the circuit breaker. All cables, connections, plugs, etc, will be in good condition. The machine will be kept clean, especially the mixing drum. Cleaning will performed with the power disconnected. be

Electrical power cables will be disconnected before performing any maintenance work to prevent accidental start-up of the machine. The operator will take extra precautions when approaching moving parts. The drum will movements. be equipped with a lift lock to prevent sudden and uncontrolled

When moving the cement mixer with a crane, appropriate hoisting equipment will be connected at four secure points will be used. It is prohibited to clean or remove encrustations from the drum when in motion. A platform will be installed around the machine to prevent slipping. Do not handle or remove safety protections and shields from the machine. HYDRAULIC JACK For single piston jacks, the hose will be inspected before every use. If damaged, this can cause serious accidents. The hose will be protected during lifting to avoid damage from falling materials, etc. Hydraulic jacks can only be used vertically; working horizontally can lead to pump malfunction due to a loss of fluid. For work in horizontal positions, single piston jacks will be used. The maximum piston extension will be noted, trying not to pass 2/3 of its length; never reach the limit of the piston as this can lead to deterioration of the O rings.

ELECTRIC GENERATOR Generators will be installed in a manner that they are inaccessible to unauthorised and unqualified personnel. The location of installation will be well ventilated to prevent the creation of a toxic or explosive atmosphere. The neutral will be grounded at source, with a resistance of not more than 20 OHMS.

The generator will be grounded with a connection independent of the above, except in the case where it is equipped with insulation protection or reinforcement. The generator will power a general electrical system which, in addition to normal installations for use and protective elements, will include: A general ground system independent of those indicated above. A differential protection system with a sensibility appropriate for the ground, with a minimum of 300 mA.

The electrical equipment used on the site will be connected to the general ground. When the level of power installed so requires, the electrical system will be connected to separate systems, with the same installations and safety features as the general system. All electrical elements and controls will be in perfect working condition. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT IN GENERAL Welding equipment will be used with the pressure recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment. When not being used, the flame of the torch will be pointed into open air or towards inflammable surfaces. When working in enclosed spaces, appropriate ventilation will be provided. Equipment producing a flame will only be used in areas free of obstacles. Machines or equipment powered by thermal energy or combustion engines will only be used outdoors or in well-ventilated areas in order to prevent the concentration of carbon monoxide. Gas-powered equipment will always be kept in perfect working condition, periodically cleaning the gauges, fuel lines, ignition or sparking elements, etc. Equipment will be refuelled when the motor is off to prevent the risk of fire due to gasoline fumes. Given the level of noise produced by internal combustion engines, hearing protection will be worn by operators when handling this type of equipment. It is essential that the following tasks be performed using pneumatic tools or machinery: Purging the air conduits and hoses. Verification of the condition of the flexible hoses and the nozzle couplings. Examination of the position of the flexible hoses (there are not loops, elbows or bends which impede the flow of air). Compressed air hoses will be positioned where they do not pose an obstacle or can be damaged by vehicles.

The triggers of portable pneumatic tools will be positioned in a manner which reduces the possibility that they are activated accidentally. Tools will be connected to the air hoses using connectors, safety clamps or other elements which prevent them from becoming detached suddenly. Compressed air hoses will not be used to remove dust from clothing or to remove wood shavings. When using pneumatic equipment, the air valve will be closed before disconnecting the hose. Never bend or fold the hose to cut the air supply when changing parts on the equipment. Check for possible leaks that may occur due to defective couplings, connections or broken air hoses. Even when not in use, pneumatic equipment is still dangerous when connected to the air hose. Operators will never put all their body weight on the pneumatic equipment as this may slip and cause a fall against the surface being worked on. After use, the following conditions will be taken into account: Shut off the air feed valve. Open the air valve on the machine to purge the circuit. Disconnect the machine. The end of the air hose of hydraulic equipment will be secured by a small chain to prevent sudden decompression. The equipment will be positioned on a level and stable surface. The work area will be kept free of obstacles. Work gloves and safety glasses will be worn to prevent burns from over pressurising the hydraulic circuit and from possible flying particles. The condition of electrical tools and equipment will checked periodically, especially the condition of the safety elements and protection such as the ground cable, fuses, circuit breaker, transformers, high sensitivity magneto-thermal switches, double insulation, etc. Portable tools will never be used without a proper plug. Cable plugs will be checked periodically. Never drag the power cords of electrical tools or leave them lying on the ground. Cables will be checked to ensure the good condition of the insulation and housing. The vents of machinery will be checked and remain perfectly clear at all times. Never disconnect a machine by pulling on the cord. Despite their simple appearance, operators will be fully trained in the use of portable tools and equipment. Disconnect tools before changing parts, verify the tool is completely stopped.

Loose clothing will not be worn as they pose a risk of entanglements and entrapments. Do not tilt tools to enlarge holes or expand apertures. The safety guards of portable saws will be in place at all times. When working in damp or humid locations, the necessary safety measures will be taken, including wearing insulated gloves, using wooden ladders and supports, safety transformers, etc. Safety glasses will be worn when cutting, drilling, grinding, etc. using electrical power tools. A safety belt or harness will be worn for all work at heights. Operators exposed to dust will wear a face mask equipped with a particle filter. If noise levels exceed 80 decibels, operators will adopt the recommendations established in R.D. 1316/1989, October 27, regarding safety measures for noise exposure. Radial grinder Before start up, the operator will verify the good condition of the electrical connections, housing insulation and the circuit breaker to prevent the risk of electrocution. The appropriate abrassion of disk will be selected for the material worked on. The condition of the disk will be checked before use. The maximum operating speed will be verified. Verify that the disk is turning in the desired direction and the protective shield if firmly positioned over the disk. The operator will wear panoramic safety glasses or a face shield, work gloves, safety boots and hearing protection. When performing the work, the electrical cable will be kept clear of metal structures and transit areas wherever possible. If there is a reasonable risk of fire in nearby areas, a fireproof shield or tarp will be positioned to prevent flying particles. When using a portable radial grinder in particularly conductive locations, tensions no higher than 24 volts will be used. Circular saw The disk will have a protective housing and shield to prevent entrapments. The condition and structure of the teeth of the disk will be checked. The work area will be free of sawdust and shavings to prevent fires. Ensure there are no nails in the material being cut. Portable drill

Before use, the operator will check that all electrical connections, double insulated housing and circuit breaker are in good condition to prevent the risk of electrocution. In this case, small jobs can be conveniently performed on workbenches with the electrical drill properly secured to the bench. Drill bits for the power drill will be selected with care. If the bit is too fragile, it can break before beginning the work if the operator applies too much force or has not prepared the bit properly. The point to be drilled will be predrilled beforehand. The position of the drill with regard to the surface to be drilled is very important as the drill bit is very fragile and any movement in direction or lateral pressure may cause it to break. Do not start the drill without checking that the bit is properly secured and tightened and that the machine is equipped with a side grip or handle. The piece to be drilled will be properly secured and supported. The pressure of the drill on the piece being drilled will be moderate and uniform in order to prevent the bit from jamming and causing the tool to jerk sideways suddenly. During the execution of work, ensure that electrical cables remain clear from metal structures and away from transit areas. Panoramic safety glasses held firm with an elastic strap or a face shield will be worn to prevent eye irritation due to flying particles and materials. Work gloves will also be worn. When the work using a power drill is finished, remove the drill bit and return it to its corresponding box and store the tool appropriately. When using a power drill in particularly conductive locations, tensions no higher than 24 volts will be used. Electric hammer drill Before use, the operator will check that all electrical connections, double insulated housing and circuit breaker are in good condition to prevent the risk of electrocution The appropriate type of drill bit will be selected before inserting it into the machine. The operator will wear tight fitting panoramic safety glasses or face shield, work gloves and obligatory hearing protection. During the execution of work, ensure that electrical cables remain clear from metal structures and away from transit areas The point to be drilled will be predrilled beforehand. This will be perpendicular to the surface to be drilled. When the work using the hammer drill is finished, remove the drill bit and return it to its corresponding box and store the tool appropriately. When using an electric hammer drill in particularly conductive locations, tensions no higher than 24 volts will be used.

HAND TOOLS Hand tools will be manufactured from quality materials, especially those used for impacts, which will be of carefully selected steel, strong enough to withstand impacts without deforming or forming edges on the heads, but without splintering or breaking. Handles will be of smooth hard wood without splinters or pointed corners. They will be perfectly inserted. Both tools and their handles will have the form, weight and size appropriate for the work to be performed. Tools presenting the following defects will not be used: Flattened heads with cracks or chips. Handles which are scratched or wrapped in wire. Blunted or poorly sharpened edges. The area presenting special risks (the presence of flammable gases, volatile liquids, etc) will require the use of tools manufactured with materials which do not produce sparks on impact. Work with electrical installations will be performed with properly insulated tools. The appropriate tool will be used for each type of job. Tools will be used for purposes they were designed. Do not use, for example, wrenches as hammers, screwdrivers as chisels, etc. Tools used for impact will be without chips or cracks, such as chisels, etc. Tools will be kept clean and in good condition. Cutting tools will be kept sharp and with cutting edges protected or covered using a leather, rubber or plastic sleeve, etc. Tools with loose handles will not be used. Special attention will be paid to hammers and sledges. Chisels, stamps, riveting tools, and generally all tools which receive impacts will have handles to allow them to be held with clamps or pincers. All tools will not be used unless their good condition has been checked. Elements made of tempered steel will not be hit. This material is very fragile and can break into fragments and be sent flying. Tools will be used without excessive force or improperly. Tools which require a handle and do not have them, such as files, chisels, crosscut chisels, etc, will not be used. Adjustable spanners or similar tools will be used in the proper size, perfectly fitting bolts and nuts and using the appropriate force. Pipes or similar items will not be used to extend the length of handles. Wrenches will not be pushed but pulled, protecting fingers and knuckles. For work at heights, operators will wear tool belts to carry tools, leaving their hands free.

Tools will be stored in a manner that they can be positioned correctly, lost tools can be identified quickly and are protected against deterioration due to impacts and falls. Tools will be easily accessible without danger of cuts from sharp edges. Tools will not be left on or behind moving machine parts. Protect cutting edges when not in use. Disorder in the work area makes repair work difficult and leads to the inappropriate use of tools. Never throw tools. Works will hand tools to each other. The user will be responsible to receive, care for and maintain tools in good condition. Ball pane hammers The hammer will have a handle, well fastened with a wedge, which is appropriate for the type of head used. The wedge will be of steel or iron and will press the wood against the sides of the eye where the handle is introduced. If the wedge is introduced at a slant, the pressure will be on both the longer and shorter sides of the eye. If the wood of the handle does not fit against the eye at all sides, shave or sand the handle until it fits properly. Replace the handle in the tool checking that it is centred correctly and replace the wedge. The handle will be smooth, without oil or grease and be shaped to adapt well to the hand. The handle will have the appropriate length and size. It is important to select the proper hammer; a hammer which is too light is as unsafe as one which is too heavy. Never use a steel hammer on tempered steel, concrete or cyanide treated surfaces. Use the face of the tool to deliver impacts, holding the tool at an angle in order for the face of the tool is parallel to the surface receiving the impact. This distributes the force of the impact over the entire face of the hammer and prevent damage to the edges. Claw hammer These are especially designed to drive nail and remove nails. The edges of the claws will not be used to apply leverage as this may cause the hammer to slip and break. The heads of hammers will be maintained in good condition to reduce the risk of nails sent flying when being driven into a piece of wood, using hammers with a smooth head. To extract a nail, a block of wood may be positioned under the head of the hammer to increase the leverage and thus reduce the force applied to the handle. Chisels Work conditions require that the material be strong enough to resist any deformation and sufficiently thick to prevent bending or warping when struck. Chisels will be sharpened and rectified to an angle of 60 with a slight rounding at the cutting edges. A chisel of the appropriate size will be chosen for the work to be performed, using a

hammer which is appropriate for the size of the chisel. Screwdrivers Screwdrivers will never be used as awl, wedge or lever, as a broken handle, a bent, twisted or blunted head can cause the screwdriver to slip out of the groove and cause hand injuries. For special screws, cross-head, star-head, etcPhilips, Hex, etc, the appropriate screwdrivers will be used. The size and type of screwdriver will be chosen according to the work to be done, adapting the point, using a file, to the screw slot. The point of the screwdriver head will be maintained square and sharp to fit perfectly in the groove of the screw. This will not only prevent the formation of burrs in the groove and damage to the screwdriver head but will also reduce the force required and improve the grip of the screwdriver. If the sides of the head are well sharpened, these will be almost parallel. Pieces will never be held in the palm of the hand when screwing or unscrewing. If the screwdriver slips this can result in a serious injury. The piece will be securely held on a stable surface. Do not force screws which are too tight using pliers or pincers. Use a lubricant instead. Pliers Pliers are designed to be used for holding and cutting. They will not be used as wrenches as their jaws slip frequently, leaving marks and rounding the corners of nuts and bolts, making it difficult to use a wrench later. If the pliers used are side cutters, safety glasses will worn as cutting the ends of small wires can cause injuries. The jaws will be clean and edges sharp as they may slip if they do not cut well. Pliers will not be used as hammers or wrenches for nuts and bolts. When using pliers for electrical work, the handles will be properly insulated. Socket wrenches and pipe wrenches These wrenches are appropriate when a great deal of force will be applied with safety being an important factor. Never apply too much force on a wrench by prolonging the handle with a length of pipe or striking the handle with a hammer. This weakens the wrench and may break it. The appropriate wrench will be used for each nut or bolt. The use of wrenches of the wrong size can wear the edges of nuts and bolts making it difficult to apply the correct wrench later. Sockets will be kept clean of grease and dirt. Fixed wrench Only fixed wrenches which have the appropriate size will wrenches may slip if they do not fit properly. be used as improper

The wrench will always be fitted perpendicularly to the bolt or nut. If it is at an angle it will not fit properly and may slip easily. As a general rule, wrenches will be pulled rather than pushed. If it slips suddenly the operator may suffer an injury. If the wrench will be pushed, the operator will keep their hand open to avoid knuckle injuries. Never use handle extensions for wrenches such as lengths of pipe, other wrenches, etc. Adjustable spanner Two precautions will be taken when applying force to these wrenches, either when loosening a bolt or when tightening a nut or bolt: Position the wrench on the bolt in order that force is applied to the side of the wrench which is fixed. The force will thus push the moving jaw against the bolt. After fitting the wrench to the bolt, tighten the screw or wheel to improve the grip. Wrenches will be kept clean by applying a solvent or gasoline periodically. The screw or wheel and the moving parts of the wrench will be lubricated. Pipe wrenches Pipe wrenches, both straight and chain wrenches, will have their jaws sharp and clean to avoid slipping, always working with traction. The screw adjustment of the wrench will be checked periodically and will be replaced if cracked. These wrenches will not be used on nuts, bolts, valves or other elements of tin, copper or other soft materials as they will be crushed or deformed. Best results are obtained in gripping round objects in the centre of the wrench jaws. Pipe wrenches will be positioned on the pipe only when they have been adjusted to the proper size and are ready to apply force. Files Files used for wood are called rasps and their teeth are triangular in shape. It is important to choose the correct type of file to avoid injuries and to extend the life of the tool. When a file become dull, the surface will be cleaned with a file card, never banging the tool against a metal object. Files will never be used as a lever, chisel or any other type of tool. Files will never be used without a handle or when it is cracked or chipped. When applying force, the end of the file can stab into the hand or if the handle is defective, cause injuries. The handle will be fitted with a ring or to prevent the handle from cracking or opening. The handle will be of an appropriate size with a proper sized hole at one end. Files will be used by firmly holding the handle in one hand and using the thumb and

forefinger of the other to guide the point. When small pieces are being worked on, these will be firmly secured using a screw or bench vise. Files will be stored in a cloth or dry paper to prevent oxidation, keeping them clean and free of oils or grease. Metal saws Saws consist of two parts, the frame and the blade. The blade will be fixed correctly to prevent bending and possible breakage. The blade will be attached with the teeth pointing forward towards the front of the frame. Force will be applied only in the forward direction, lifting the blade slightly on the return. When beginning a cut the blade will be guided until beginning the second stroke and pushing in a straight line. The entire length of the blade will be used for each stroke. A cut which has been started will not be continued with a new blade. The width of the cut is wider and the blade will generally become stuck. When the blade is not is use, it will be protected to ensure the teeth are not damaged by other tools or metal objects. The blade will be cleaned frequently using an oily rag to prevent oxidation. For medium hard metals, the saw will be used at a speed of 40 to 50 strokes per minute. If the speed is excessive the cut may cause enough heat to distort the blade. If the metal is very hard, slow the speed of the cut. Wood saws The material to be cut will be properly secured using clamps and free of metal elements. Extra precaution will be taken when cutting through knots. The appropriate saw will be used depending on the type of work to be performed. When beginning the cut, this will be marked by the guide or by guiding the blade with the thumb. If the cut is started improperly the saw may jump. Saw blades will be kept sharp and slightly splayed. Saws will be stored hung by the handle or on a shelf.

31. AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

WOODEN LADDERS Wooden ladders will be used for electrical work, together with ladders made of polyester or fibre glass. Wooden ladders are made up of two side members of a single piece, without defects or knots which may reduce safety. Rungs will be joined rather than nailed. Ladders will be protected from the elements with varnish, transparent in order not to disguise any possible defects. The use of painted ladders is prohibited as defects are more difficult to detect.

General Before using a ladder, verify it is in good condition rejecting those which do not guarantee complete safety. The side members will be checked to ensure they are of a single piece, without joints, that there are no missing, loose or broken rungs, that none have been replaced with bars and that there are no protruding nails. All ladders will be equipped with anti-slip footings at the lower end. Extra precautions will be taken when carrying ladders to avoid hitting other people, paying attention of where you step to avoid tripping. The front part of the ladder will be carried downward. Ladders will never be positioned on unstable objects or terrain which may reduce the stability of this equipment. Before climbing the ladder, check that the safety footings are free of mud, grease, or an other substance which may cause slipping. Ladders will be ascended and descended frontally, that is, directly facing the ladder. Ladders will have a length which surpasses the top support point or surface to be reached by 1 meter. The maximum length of ladders will not exceed 5 meters without an intermediate support, in which case length can reach 7 meters. For greater heights special ladders or work platforms will be used. Two ladders will not be joined together. If it is necessary to use a ladder in the proximity of doors and hallways, leave the door open in order for the ladder to be visible and to prevent impacts from the door against the ladder. Ladders will never be positioned on top of moving mechanisms or bare electrical conductors. If it is necessary, the mechanism will be shut down beforehand or the power cut from the electrical conductor. Where possible, ladders will be positioned at a 75 angle from the horizontal surface. Where possible, the ladder will be secured at its top end. In the case this is not possible, a person will support the base of the ladder when in use. Ladders will not be used by more than 1 person at a time. If tools or any other objects will be carried, tool belts or carriers attached to the body will be used in order to keep hands free to grip the ladder safely. To work safely and comfortable, the operator will be positioned on the appropriate rung, in order that the distance between the body and the work point is sufficient and permits balance. Never stand on the top rung of the ladder. When working with ladders, operators will not stretch to reach a point as this poses the risk of falls. The ladder will be moved as often as necessary to reach work points comfortable. Work at heights above 3.5 metres which require movements or exertions which may be hazardous for the stability of the worker will only be performed using a safety harness or adopting alternative safety precautions. It is forbidden to transport or handle loads on or from ladders when their weight or size

may be hazardous to the safety of the worker. Ladders will be kept in perfect condition, periodically checked and replaced in the case of any defects or damage. When not in use, ladders will be carefully stored and never left on the ground, in damp locations, etc. Ladders will be stored in a covered location, protected from the elements, when not in use.

STEP LADDERS

Step ladders will be equipped with safety stop at their top hinge. Step ladders will be equipped with a safety chain or brace at mid height to limit the aperture of the ladder. Step ladders will always be used as designed, that is, with both sides opened for maximum safety. Step ladders will never be used as horses to support work platforms. Stepladders will be positioned with their legs extended to their maximum for maximum safety. Step ladders will not be used if the work position requires the operator to place both feet on the top three rungs. Step ladders will only be used when positioned on horizontal and stable surfaces.

SCAFFOLDS ON SAWHORSES

All scaffolding will meet the following general safety conditions: The elements and joints of the various pieces constituting the scaffolding will fit together perfectly, ensuring proper stability and strength. Scaffolding will be assembled and braced properly in order to ensure stability and allowing operators to work with the maximum safety conditions. It is strictly prohibited to used boxes or drums, etc, as provisional scaffolding. Debris, materials or tools will not be thrown directly from the scaffolding. An appropriate system will be used to remove or unload this material. Sawhorses will be positioned on perfectly level ground to avoid the risk of working on an incline. Wooden sawhorses will be in perfect condition, firmly joined and without wobbling, deformation or damage of any kind to avoid the risk of collapse, sudden breakage or swaying. Sawhorses will not be positioned more than 2.5 meters apart to avoid excessive spans which can increase the risk of swaying or shaking. Scaffolding will be assembled using a minimum of two sawhorses. It is expressly prohibited to substitute sawhorses for boxes, barrels, piled materials, etc. Only that material which is strictly necessary will be placed on the scaffolding and positioned uniformly across the work surface to avoid overloads which may reduce the resistance of the boards. Folding sawhorses with metal hinges will be equipped with safety chains to limit the maxim aperture of the horses in order to guarantee compete stability.

Work platforms on sawhorses will have a minimum width of 60 cm. (three boards joined together, a steel platform of these dimensions, etc). The boards will have a thickness of at least 7 cm. Scaffolds on sawhorses whose work platform is situated at a height of 2 meters or more will be enclosed by a solid safety railing at a minimum height of 90 cm and with a protection or foot boards to prevent personnel or objects from falling under the railing.

Metal sawhorses used to support work platforms with a height of 2 meters or more will be braced between them using crosspieces in order to prevent swaying or wobbling, making the platform unsafe. It is prohibited to create scaffolds on simple metal sawhorses or trestles with work platforms at a height of 6 meters or more. It is prohibited to work on platforms supported on sawhorses that are in turn supported on another scaffold of sawhorses. Portable electric lights used for work on scaffolds will be watertight lamps with an insulated grip and a protective gage for the bulb, connected to the electrical system of the site. It is prohibited to have electrical cables or hoses trapped between sawhorses as this may pose the risk of electrical contact by shearing the cable. The wood used in work platforms will be in perfect conditions, free of knots, to avoid the risk of breakage.

TUBULAR SCAFFOLDING All scaffolding will meet the following general safety conditions: The elements and joints of the various pieces constituting the scaffolding will fit together perfectly, ensuring proper stability and strength. Scaffolding will be assembled and braced properly in order to ensure stability and allowing operators to work with the maximum safety conditions. A plan will be established for the assembly, use and disassembly of the scaffold including a calculation of its strength and stability made by fully qualified personnel. When the scaffolding being used has a CE certification, this plan can be substituted by the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer or supplier. Scaffolds will be assembled, disassembled, modified or inspected under the supervision of qualified professional, fully trained in the use of this equipment and performed by personnel who have received the appropriate and specific training necessary for these types of operations. When it is not necessary to create a plan for assembly, use and disassembly, these operations can be performed by personnel with at least two years of certified experience and having received the corresponding risk prevention training at least at the basic level When certain parts of the scaffolding are not ready for use, warning signs will be posted alerting personnel of the general risk and delimiting these areas in order to restrict physical access to the danger zone. Any elements of the scaffolding showing signs of deterioration will be replaced immediately. Any elements of the scaffolding which to not offer a minimum guarantee of safety once installed will be replaced. Scaffolding will not be used for purposes other than that to provide a work platform for personnel. Specifically, scaffolding will not be used to serve as a hoisting platform for materials or supporting pipes and equipment. It is strictly prohibited to used boxes, drums, barrels, etc, as provisional scaffolding.

Scaffolding will be assembly on wooden or metal footings sufficiently strong and braced to guarantee the stability of the scaffolding. The scaffolding will be supported with a sufficient number of diagonal braces to ensure that the structure retains its original rectangular form. During the assembly and disassembly operations, the pipes of the scaffolding will be hoisted using ropes knotted securely. Operators will wear a safety harness attached to secure points independent of the scaffolding or to a lifeline. Scaffolding will be positioned a safe distance from electrical power lines or installations to prevent contact with live elements. The following specification will be taken into account during the assembly of tubular scaffolding: A new level of the scaffolding will not be started until the previous level has been fully assembled with all its stabilising elements. The previously completed level will offer the necessary safety guarantee in order for safety belts to be attached to it. The bars, tubular modules and boards will be hoisted using ropes tied with sailors knots. Work platforms will be consolidated immediately upon completion of the scaffold level using clamps and diagonal braces to prevent swaying. Clamps will all be fully secured. Completed levels will be inspected before beginning the next level to ensure that there are no loose or missing bolts and screws. Scaffolding pipes will be connected using bolt or anchor ties or using the clamps and pins provided.

Work platforms or levels minimum width of 0.60

will have a meters and a

load resistance of 160 kg at the mid point between supports. The safety railings of work platforms will have a minimum height of 90 cm, including an intermediate railing and foot boards of 15 cm. Platforms, levels, walkways, etc, formed by boards will be secured using fasteners, wire loops, nailed transoms in order to form a complete and united whole. The base of the scaffolding will be protected from impacts and shifting using wedges, blocking systems and/or stabilisers. Once the scaffolding has been assembled, no part of its structure will be removed (pipes, boards, braces, etc) until the scaffolding is to be completely disassembled. In the case the work requires the structure to be maintained for several days using parts of the scaffolding to create other scaffolding, access will be prohibited and clearly sign posted. The work platform will be removed to prevent its use by unauthorised personnel. Work platforms with a height of 2 meters or more will be enclosed by a solid safety railing at a minimum height of 90 cm and with a protection or foot boards to prevent personnel or objects from falling under the railing. The ladders installed in the scaffolding will be used to climb onto the work platform or exterior ladders will be used. Ropes and hoisting equipment will never be used to ascend or descend from the scaffolding. The work platform will be fixed using clamps or brackets nailed to the boards. The base module of the scaffolding will be fitted with levellers or threaded footings to guarantee the stability of the whole. Access between the levels of the scaffolding will be by means of the prefabricated ladders installed at each level. The external ladders of tubular scaffolding modules will be fixed facing the exterior of the scaffold. It is prohibited to use sawhorse scaffolding supported on work platforms of tubular scaffolding. Tubular scaffolding will be braced against vertical structures, fixed to secure anchor points. Personnel will walk normally on the scaffolding, without jumping on platforms or from one platform to another. Tense vertical safety nets will be installed on the scaffolding to prevent the risk of falls of operators. In the case nets are not used, if operators are working at a height of 2 meters or more they will wear a safety harness secured to a previously installed lifeline. Personnel working on scaffolding, suspended or generally at heights of 2 metres or more will wear a safety belt adapted to the specific risks of their work (support, suspension or fall arrest systems) fixed to a secure anchor point of the building structure. Safety belts will be inspected before use, rejecting those which do not guarantee

complete security or if the label indicating the date of manufacture is not clearly legible. In free standing work platforms or those which due to the characteristics of the project do not have a safety railing, a safety belt will be worn attached by a carabiner or safety clasp to a secure anchor point other than the scaffolding or work platform. It is prohibited to throw tools, materials or other objects from one scaffolding or person to another. All objects will be passed by hand. Access ladders will be properly secured at both ends. It is prohibited to use braces to access one work platform from another. Personnel will always have their hands free when accessing a scaffolding. It is prohibited to work on platforms at the top of scaffolding if these have not be fitted with a solid safety railing. It is prohibited to mix pastes directly on work platform surfaces as this can result in slippery surfaces causing accidents. Materials will be distributed evenly on a board at mid height on the work platform in a manner that they do not reduce the work space of the platform. It is prohibited to work on platforms situated in areas below other platforms where work is being performed in order to avoid the risk of falling objects. It is prohibited to work on scaffolding in the case of strong winds in order to prevent the risk of falls. Personnel will never remain on scaffolding being moved, regardless of its height. For work at night, all work platforms and the access to the same will be adequately lighted at all times.

32. DISCONNECTION AND WORK ORDERS. (General principles).

All work to be performed on High Voltage installations which imply proximity or work on the live elements will require a prior request for the authorisation and execution of a Disconnection Order for said installation as established in the corresponding Disconnection Management procedures. The opening of telecontrolled cutting elements does not free from the obligation to use local disconnections, immobilisation and local signs. The operations on an installation which is in service will only be carried out by a contractor which has been expressly authorised to perform these operations. This will be established in the corresponding service contract which will include the certification of the appropriate training and qualifications required. For work or services which require disconnection, the Disconnection Agent will perform the necessary actions and will create, delimit and sign post a protected work area. The Agent will provide this work area to the Project Supervisor of the Contractor with a completed and signed document certifying the hand-over and return of the disconnected installation for the work required. The Project Supervisor will be responsible for the creation and delimitation of the work area, to be supervised by the person designated by the Site Manager before beginning the work. Once the work has been completed, the Works Manager will verify the removal of personnel, the grounds, the work area signs for hand-over to the representative of Unin Fenosa Distribucin, S.A. This representative will dismantle the protected area and perform the actions necessary to return the Installation to regular service. Both before and after the work, a document certifying the hand-over and return of the Installations will be completed and signed.

The operator will follow the recommendations indicated below when requesting the disconnection of equipment in order to execute a connection: The DISCONNECTION of a system or element of the same is to guarantee your SAFETY by shutting down a system or element during the execution of the work. All WORK ORDERS will indicate if a DISCONNECTION is required.

If a DISCONNECTION is necessary, work will not be initiated until the corresponding DISCONNECTION ORDER has been duly carried out. Photocopies without authorisation from CONTROL or verbal communications are not considered a valid DISCONNECTION ORDER.

The DISCONNECTION ORDER is not sufficient to prevent ACCIDENTS. Verify that the DISCONNECTION of the system has been carried out correctly. When the work is complete, a CANCELLATION OF DISCONNECTION will be submitted, returning the DISCONNECTION ORDER to CONTROL.

Request a DISCONNECTION ORDER if you believe it is necessary. OBLIGATORY VERIFICATIONS AND CHECKS BEFORE WORK BEGINS
-

Installations will be checked to ensure there are no anomalies which may cause a workplace accident. In the case an anomaly is detected which cannot be corrected, an Anomaly Notification Sheet will be completed for the installation, appropriate safety measures will be taken and warning signs posted. The position(s) of subject to the work will be clearly indicated, not allowing any possible confusion or doubt. A power meter will be used to ensure the absence of tension in the position where the work is being carried out. This meter will be appropriate for the level of tension of the position. In the case it is necessary to open breakers without gear, there will a manoeuvring pole suitable for the voltage threshold. be

A sufficient number of grounds will be installed to isolate the work area from all possible sources of tension. These grounds will be appropriate for the level of tension of the position. Elements will be on hand (red tape, signs, etc) to indicate and delimit work areas. All personnel will be equipped with the necessary Personal Protective Equipment. All tools and equipment used will be in perfect working condition. When using scaffolding or ladders, these will be checked to ensure they are in perfect condition. Communication devices will be in perfect working order. A protected area will procedure register. be created in accordance with the disconnection

33. WORK INSTALLATIONS.

IN

PROXIMITY

TO

LIVE

When moving cranes, work platforms, etc, the appropriate safety distances will be maintained at all times. These distances area 3 meters for installations up to 66 kV and 5 meters for higher tension. For tensions higher than 380 KV, a safety distance of 7 meters will be maintained. In the case the crane boom can accidentally encroach in this safety distance, it will be necessary to block the boom in order to guarantee unintentional contact with live installations. Notwithstanding the above, minimum safety distances will be maintained at all times. Tasks will be performed under the supervision of a qualified supervisor who will ensure that established safety measures and procedures are followed, including the delimitation of work areas and the installation of insulated safety screens if necessary. If situations of possible risk persist, a Disconnection request will be presented or the work will be performed following the Work with Live Installations safety requirements. Under adverse weather conditions (strong winds, etc.) the safety distances indicated above will be increased, non-conductive auxiliary equipment will be used to direct loads, and the work area will be shielded from live elements or work may be discontinued altogether. When performing work of this type, a corresponding ground connection will be installed for hoisting equipment. The work area will be expanded, appropriately delimited and sign posted, to include activity radius of the crane boom both horizontally and vertically, if this is not enclosed within the established work area itself.

34. ORDER PRINCIPLES.

AND

CLEANLINESS:

GENERAL

The work will be carried out paying special attention and care to the organisation of transportation, storage and stockpiling of required materials, tools, equipment and machinery. Transit routes of the site will be free of obstacles and allow personnel and vehicles to access any part of the installation. The areas to be used for storing and stockpiling materials will authorised before the execution of the work. decided or

During the performance of the works or the termination of the same, extra materials and waste products generated will be stored in appropriate locations to avoid the risk of accidents, robbery and/or any other type of violent action. The area will be maintained in its habitual condition, both functionally and in terms of cleanliness, without harm to other proprietors or third parties.

It is obligatory to maintain constant supervision of the order and cleanliness of the work site.

35. MANUAL HANDLING OF LOADS

Organisational measures will be taken, or the appropriate equipment will be used, in order to reduce the need for manual handling of loads as much as possible. The maximum load weight carried by an operator, 40 kg, will not be exceeded (recommended load weights are 30 Kg for men, 15 Kg for women). Personnel will receive the appropriate training and information about the correct handling of loads and the risks involved especially when these actions are not performed correctly from a technical point of view. Personnel will remove all metal jewellery, especially all types of rings. Packages and their shape will take into consideration ease of handling, especially with regards to weight and the elimination of aggressive or cutting edges. Packages will be free of grease or slippery substances. The load and the manner in which it is carried will not impede visibility. Operators will never walk backwards while carrying loads. Transit routes will be planned carefully, taking into consideration: lighting, obstacles, ramps, slopes, the condition and stability of the terrain, free areas, the stability of possible supports, etc. Prior to handling objects, certain factors will be considered, such as form (volume, shifting contents, difficulty in gripping) and physical properties (fragility, rigidity, etc). The demands of the operation in terms of physical effort will be taken into account, including lifting distances and heights, descent or transport, the work rhythm imposed by the process, etc. etc. Proper lifting techniques are very important to prevent straining specific points of the spinal column.
