FOREWORD
Activities concerning establishment and utilisation of nuclear facilities and use of
radioactive sources are to be carried out in India in accordance with the provisions of
the Atomic Energy Act, 1962. In pursuance of the objective of ensuring safety of
members of the public and occupational workers as well as protection of environment,
the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) has been entrusted with the responsibility
of laying down safety standards and enforcing rules and regulations for such activities.
The Board, therefore, has undertaken a programme of developing safety standards,
safety codes and related guides and manuals for the purpose. While some of the
documents cover aspects such as siting, design, construction, operation, quality
assurance and decommissioning of nuclear and radiation facilities, other documents
cover regulatory aspects of these facilities.
Safety codes and safety standards are formulated on the basis of nationally and
internationally accepted safety criteria for design, construction and operation of specific
equipment, structures, systems and components of nuclear and radiation facilities.
Safety codes establish the objectives and set requirements that shall be fulfilled to
provide adequate assurance for safety. Safety guides and guidelines elaborate various
requirements and furnish approaches for their implementation. Safety manuals deal
with specific topics and contain detailed scientific and technical information on the
subject. These documents are prepared by experts in the relevant fields and are
extensively reviewed by advisory committees of the Board before they are published.
The documents are revised when necessary, in the light of experience and feedback
from users as well as new developments in the field.
Construction work is a labor-intensive industrial activity with large number of unskilled
and migratory workforce under various contracts ranging from a mega package contract
to a small work contract. Accidents during construction work are of major concern
because of the high severity of injuries. The analysis of the accidents at construction
sites indicates that fall from height type of accidents are significantly higher than the
other types of accidents. AERB safety guide titled Works Contract (AERB/SG/IS-1)
was issued in 1991 to emphasise safety requirements and ensure their implementation
in execution of contracts. In view of the continual development of construction
technologies and the need for enhancement of indutrial safety in DAE units, inputs
from AERB discussion meets on the subject, safety and occupational health
professionals of DAE, AERB Fatal accident Assessment Committee, and directives
on industrial safety issued by Chairman, AERB, the need for revision of the safety
guide was felt.
This revised safety guidelines is effective from the date of issue and supersedes the
earlier guide on the subject. Part-A of the revised safety guidelines highlights safety
requirements by Facilities and Part-B highlights the requirements on safe execution
of jobs by Contractors. The facility management shall be strictly liable as a principal
Section - III B
Page 4 of 132
employer for ensuring the compliance with the safety requirements by the contractors
as laid down in Part-B. It should be noted that Part-A and Part-B should be read in
conjunction, as the requirements are complementary to each other. However the
Facility may issue the Part-B along with the tender documents. The requirements
spelt out in this safety guidelines are in addition to the statutory requirements such as
Factories Act 1948, Atomic Energy (Factories) Rules, 1996 and other applicable
statutory requirements.
Consistent with the accepted practice, shall and should are generally used to
distinguish between a firm requirement and a desirable option respectively. Appendices
are an integral part of the document, whereas bibliography are included to provide
further information on the subject that might be helpful to the user.
Specialists in the field drawn from the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, the Bhabha
Atomic Research Centre and the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited and
other consultants have prepared this safety guidelines document. It has been reviewed
by the Advisory Committee on Industrial and Fire Safety (ACIFS).
AERB wishes to thank all individuals and organisations who have prepared and
reviewed the document and helped in its finalisation. The list of persons, who have
participated in this task, along with their affiliations, is included for information.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1
General
Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) through its constituent units execute
various site works either by their own manpower or by manpower of various
outside agencies. The nature of contracts with outside agencies can be works
contracts, engineering procurement contracts, minor fabrication contracts etc.
These site works involve entire gamut of conventional industrial activities
like excavation, rock blasting, earth handling, construction, material handling,
fabrication, installation, operation, maintenance etc. of nuclear or conventional
plants/facilities. This is a challenging responsibility for the facility due to the
complexity of problems like quality of workforce (which may be unskilled,
illiterate, migratory) available for labor-intensive jobs, lack of coordination
among agencies at site, lack of safety awareness among concerned
authorities, time schedules of project etc. As primary employer of the
workforce (facility or contractor) at site, it is the responsibility of the facility
management to ensure health and safety of personnel engaged for the work.
Any accidental injury or loss of life is detrimental to the facility as well as
the society. This guidelines covers the safety organisation and the safety
management system requirements in sections two and three. The work specific
safety precautions are covered in section four. The requirements relating to
personal protective equipment and medical management are covered in
sections five and six.
1.2
Objective
This guidelines has a basic framework of industrial safety organisation,
safety management systems, safe work procedures to maintain a safe working
environment for all personnel and to prevent any unsafe condition/act
endangering the life of personnel engaged for industrial activities. The major
objectives of this guidelines are:
(i)
To create awareness among workers about industrial hazards and

safe working procedures.
(ii)
To lay down safe work procedures and systems to be followed for

different type of industrial activities
(iii)
To establish a robust safety management system.
(iv)
To protect the health and ensure the safety of the workers from
industrial activities.
Section - III B
Page 12 of 132
1.3
Scope
This guidelines is essential for implementation and assurance of conventional
safety in areas such as industrial, chemical, electrical, fire, environmental
and is applicable for all works taken up by the facility as well as contracted
works like engineering procurement contract, minor fabrication contract etc.
Where the execution of work is envisaged in radiation controlled area or
involves handling and fabrication of any nuclear material, additional
precautions noted in relevant AERB safety documents on radiation protection
shall also be applicable.

5. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

5.1
General
Although the primary approach in any safety effort is that the hazard to the
workmen should be eliminated or controlled by engineering methods rather
than protecting the workman through use of personal protective equipment
(PPE). Engineering methods could include design change, substitution,
ventilation, mechanical handling, atomisation etc. Under those situations
when it is not possible to introduce any effective engineering methods for
controlling hazards, it is necessary that workman use appropriate type of
PPE. For example, in construction work there is the possibility of a hand
tool, a bolt, or some loose material to fall from an elevated level and striking
the head of workman working below. It is therefore necessary that construction
worker wear a safety helmet. It is for such situations, both the Factories Act
1948 and the Atomic Energy (Factories) Rules, 1996 have provisions for use
of appropriate type of PPE.
It is thus recognised that use of PPE is an important and necessary
consideration in the development of a safety programme. Once the safety
professional decides that PPE is to be used by workmen, it is essential to
select right type of PPE and management should ensure that workman uses it
and also PPE is correctly maintained.
5.2
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

(a)
All personal protective equipment as considered necessary should

be made available for the use of the persons employed on the site
and maintained in a condition suitable for immediate use. Also
adequate steps should be taken by engineer-in-charge to ensure proper
use of PPE.
(b)
All the PPEs in use should be as per relevant IS standards as referred

in the AERB safety guidelines on Personal Protective Equipment
(AERB/SG/IS-3).
(c)
All persons employed at the construction site should use safety

helmets. Safety helmet should be with BIS mark and should have its
headband with back support and chin strap.
(d)
Workers employed on mixing asphaltic materials, cement and lime

mortars should use protective goggles, protective foot wears, hand
gloves and respirators as required.
(e)
Persons engaged in welding and gas-cutting works should use suitable

welding face shields. The persons who assist the welders should use
suitable goggles. Protective goggles should be worn while chipping
and grinding.
42
Section - III B
Page 53 of 132
(f)
Stonebreakers should use protective goggles. They should be seated

at sufficiently safe distances from one another.
(g)
Safety goggles should be of shatterproof type and with zero power.
(h)
Persons engaged in or assisting in shot blasting operations and

cleaning the blasting chamber should use suitable gauntlets, overalls,
shatterproof and dust-proof goggles and self contained breathing
apparatus set.
(i)
All persons working at heights more than 3.5 m above ground or

floor and exposed to risk of falling down should use full body harness
safety belts, unless otherwise protected by cages, guard railings, etc.
In places where the use of safety belts is not feasible, suitable net of
adequate strength fastened to substantial supports should be used.
(j)
When workers are employed in sewers and inside manholes that are
in use, it should be ensured that the manholes are opened and are
adequately ventilated at least for an hour. After it has been well
ventilated, the atmosphere inside the space should be checked for
the presence of any toxic gas or oxygen deficiency by a competent
person and recorded in the register before the workers are allowed
to get into the manholes. A pilot team should enter the area donning
self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The manholes opened
should be cordoned off with suitable railing and provided with
warning signals or caution boards to prevent accidents. There should
be proper illumination in the night. Depending upon the work
situation, the facility should provide PPE including the SCBA as
recommended by Head, industrial safety.

7. INTRODUCTION
7.1
General
The Department of Atomic Energy( DAE) through its constituent units execute
various site works either by their own manpower or by manpower of various
outside agencies. The nature of contracts with outside agencies can be works
contracts, engineering procurement contracts, purchase contracts, minor
fabrication contracts etc. These site works involve entire gamut of
conventional industrial activities like excavation, rock blasting, earth handling,
construction, material handling, fabrication, installation, operation,
maintenance etc. of nuclear or conventional plants/facilities. This is a
challenging responsibility for the contractor due to the complexity of problems
like quality of workforce (which may be unskilled, illiterate, migratory)
available for labor-intensive jobs, lack of coordination among agencies at
site, lack of safety awareness among concerned authorities, time schedules
of project etc. As a principal employer, facility management shall be
responsible to ensure health and safety of all personnel engaged for the work.
In this process, the contractor through his established measures shall ensure
that the guidelines are implemented. However the facility management shall
monitor the compliance with the provisions outlined in the guidelines through
periodic supervision and review. Any accidental injury or loss of life is
detrimental to the facility as well as the society. This guidelines covers the
safety organisation and the safety management system requirements in sections
two and three. The work specific safety precautions are covered in section
four. The requirements relating to personal protective equipment and medical
management are covered in sections 5 and 6.
7.2
Objective
This guidelines has a basic framework of industrial safety organisation,
safety management systems, safe work procedures to maintain a safe working
environment for all personnel and to prevent any unsafe condition/act
endangering the life of personnel engaged for industrial activities. The major
objectives of this guidelines are:
(i)
To create awareness among workers about industrial hazards and

safe working procedures.
(ii)
To lay down safe work procedures and systems to be followed for

different type of industrial activities.
(iii)
To establish a robust safety management system.
(iv)
To protect the health and ensure the safety of the workers from
industrial activities.
63
Section - III B
Page 75 of 132
7.3
Scope
This guidelines is essential for implementation and assurance of conventional
safety in areas such as industrial, chemical, electrical, fire, environmental
and is applicable for all works executed through contracts, like engineering
procurement contract, minor fabrication contract etc. Where the execution
of work is envisaged in radiation controlled area or involves handling and
fabrication of any nuclear material, additional precautions noted in relevant
AERB safety documents on radiation protection shall also be applicable.

11. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

11.1
General
Although the primary approach in any safety effort is that the hazard to the
workmen should be eliminated or controlled by engineering methods rather
than protecting the workman through use of personal protective equipment
(PPE). Engineering methods could include design change, substitution,
ventilation, mechanical handling, atomization etc. Under those situations
when it is not possible to introduce any effective engineering methods for
controlling hazards, it is necessary that workman use appropriate type of
PPE. For example, in construction work there is the possibility of a hand
tool, a bolt, or some loose material to fall from an elevated level and striking
the head of workman working below. It is therefore necessary that construction
worker wear a safety helmet. It is for such situations, both the Factories Act
1948 and the Atomic Energy (Factories) Rules, 1996 have provisions for use
of appropriate type of PPE.
It is thus recognized that use of PPE is an important and necessary
consideration in the development of a safety programme. Once the safety
professional decides that PPE is to be used by workmen, it is essential to
select right type of PPE and construction agency should ensure that workman
uses it and also PPE is correctly maintained.
11.2
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

(a)
All personal protective equipment as considered necessary should

be made available for the use of the persons employed on the site
and maintained in a condition suitable for immediate use. Also
adequate steps should be taken by line manager to ensure proper use
of PPE.
(b)
All the PPEs in use should be as per relevant IS standards as referred

in the AERB safety guidelines on Personal Protective Equipment
(AERB/SG/IS-3).
(c)
All persons employed at the construction site should use safety

helmets. Safety helmet should be with BIS mark and should have its
headband with back support and chin strap.
(d)
Workers employed on mixing asphaltic materials, cement and lime

mortars should use protective goggles, protective foot wears, hand
gloves and respirators as required.
(e)
Persons engaged in welding and gas-cutting works should use suitable

welding face shields. The persons who assist the welders should use
suitable goggles. Protective goggles should be worn while chipping
and grinding.
100
Section - III B
Page 112 of 132
(f)
Stonebreakers should use protective goggles. They should be seated

at sufficiently safe distances from one another.
(g)
Safety goggles should be of shatterproof type and with zero power.
(h)
Persons engaged in or assisting in shot blasting operations and

cleaning the blasting chamber should use suitable gauntlets, overalls,
shatterproof and dust-proof goggles and self contained breathing
apparatus set.
(i)
All persons working at heights more than 3.5 m above ground or

floor and exposed to risk of falling down should use full body harness
safety belts, unless otherwise protected by cages, guard railings, etc.
In places where the use of safety belts is not feasible, suitable net of
adequate strength fastened to substantial supports should be used.
(j)
When workers are employed in sewers and inside manholes that are
in use, it should be ensured that the manholes are opened and are
adequately ventilated at least for an hour. After it has been well
ventilated, the atmosphere inside the space should be checked for
the presence of any toxic gas or oxygen deficiency by a competent
person and recorded in the register before the workers are allowed
to get into the manholes. A pilot team should enter the area donning
self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The manholes opened
should be cordoned off with suitable railing and provided with
warning signals or caution boards to prevent accidents. There should
be proper illumination in the night. Depending upon the work
situation, the contractor should provide PPE including the SCBA as
recommended by Head, industrial safety.
