coordination drawings are approved and shall be kept in the work location.
 Check foundation dimensions respect to FAHU and ensure the suitability& orientations.
 Ensure all Piping & installations works are tested and ready to connect with the unit
 After ensuring that the foundations for the FAHUs are satisfactory, shift the FAHU frame
and panels to its exact location. Ensure any damages during shifting/assemblies.
 Install the lower section frame on the foundation with necessary vibration pads/isolators
and proper levelling as per manufacturer recommendations /illustrations.
 Install the FAHU panels/Sections as per order and joints shall be tightened with factory
supplied gaskets.
  Once section assembly is completed check all the joints torques. Check all the door
operation open/close correctly & Locks are suitably seated.
 Apply factory supplied sealants in all joints.
 Ensure all body/panels earth strips are properly connected.
 Ensure proper space and access around the unit for future maintenances.

9.0 HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT (HSE)

The Health Safety and Environment Project Management Plan institutes the overall mechanism for the
risk management processes with regard to the Project. Processes are implemented at the earliest
stages within the project cycle, identifying risk and facilitating an opportunity for the application of
appropriate mitigation strategies. As an integral part of the planning process, prior to the commencement
of any operational activity a suitable and sufficient specific assessment (RA) of the risks associated with
the works should be undertaken.

10.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Starting instructions will be given by the supervisors at the start of each activity to explain
the methodology of works and to communicate safe working procedures to the operatives.
These talks are structured in a way to highlight to major risks involved in the activity and
the various control measures required in order to minimize the risk. It is delivered in a
manner such as the key points that will be remembered by the operatives receiving it.

 Toolbox talk meetings will be held for each crew, on group or employees, regarding more
general topics of the Project HSE Policy; for example, lessons learned, near-miss reports,
implementation of the requirements and message from the LBS management or
Employers HSE personnel.

 The persons using cleaning fluid, solvent cement & any other forms of chemicals must
wear hand gloves.

 Ensure only qualified personnel shall install, test & commissioned the equipment.

works.

12.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

12.1 INTRODUCTION
As part of the development of the Organization’s Environmental Management System(s) the
significant issues that are faced both on-site and within offices or other facilities should be
addressed. This approach subsequently allows for a systematic focus upon the important
environmental aspects to be adopted which in turn facilitates prioritization of limited
resources
