4. SAFETY

Refer to the site safety policy for general safety controls. One of the main aspects of this

procedure is safety and health control.

This is to control occurrence of injuries as well as damage to equipment and properties during

the entire construction period, the following safety measures will be implemented.

4.1 Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be issued to all workers such as safety shoes,

hardhat, working gloves, earplug, safety goggles (if required) and safety belt and or safety

harness for workers who will be assigned in elevated places 2.0 meter and above.

Wearing of the basic PPE shall be enforced fully.

4.2 Safety arrangement during the Construction Work

All new recruits shall undergo proper orientation and safety induction before they are deployed

at site for work (Emergency Action Plan – refer to appendix A).

6
 4.3 Permit to Work System:

For a number of work activities, a Permit to Work system may be used. The Permit to Work

system is based on a written procedure including suitable form(s) used to control potentially

dangerous operations by authorizing personnel to carry out specific activities within a certain

time frame, and at the same time identifying the main precautions needed to complete the task

safely (Work Permit Form – refer to appendix B).

Activities that will require a Permit to Work include, but are not limited to:

Hot works (welding, grinding, cutting, or danger of an ignition source)

a) Excavations/trenching (more than 300mm in depth, with additional controls where

working in the vicinity of services)

b) Electrical works

c) Heavy Lift/Vehicles (heavy vehicle transport, off road, non-4x4 access)

d) Area access (where Contractors take control of a designated area)

e) Other work or locations designated by Employer or SUMEC

5. GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH

5.1 Review of Drawings

Prior to the mobilization and start of actual installation, it is assumed that all engineering

drawings are all stamped with “Issued for Construction”.

7
5.2 Inspection Before Assembly and Installation

Check disassembled parts and accessories for any damage during transportation:

a. The bearing and each base shall rotate flexibly

b. The fastening parts shall not be loose.

c. Manual and Motor Operating mechanisms shall rotate flexibly, the opening and closed

position must be reliable, and the auxiliary switch shall function correctly.

5.3 Installation

1. Fix the base support of the three single pole DS on a frame with same level base and

make the rotating shaft of the three pole ES s are at the same center.

2. Check the contact condition of the middle contact of the isolating switch, the single pole

should meet:

a. When closing, the cylindrical contact and two rows of contact fingers shall

contact at the same time, for which joint bolt (left and right) can be adjusted

when necessary.

b. The contact of the intermediate contact shall be symmetrical and the

tolerance between the upper and lower gap is no more than 5 mm. The

intermediate gap is adjusted to about 40 mm (see Fig 1) but the thickness

added at each point shall not exceed 3mm.

c. Rotate the main blade to open-close position for 90 degree. The gap

between positioning bolt and stopping block is about 4mm when opening –

closing to the final position.

3. Install the link rod among three phases of main blade ,as shown in Fig 2,adjust the length

9
 of the rod to keep the simultaneity of three phases at closed operation not exceed

10mm ,the left and right thread are provided respectively on both ends of link rod of

three phases and for link between its support, direct rotation I available in adjustment.

Fig 2

4. Install the link rod among three phases of the ES in accordance with Fig 2, screw tightly

screws and adjust operating lever , mechanical interlock ,torsion spring and fixed ring ,

the adjustment of the torsional spring shall reach the horizontal position in case of

opening operation of the ES , then tighten the bolts.

5. Install CS14GA manual or CJ6B motor operating mechanisms on a frame easy for

manual operation, with the driving shaft on the base of DS as center. Assure the centers

10
 of driving shaft and main shaft of mechanism are to be in line by vertical line, then screw

up the mounting bolts of the mechanism.

6. In case that the operating mechanism and DS are at the closed or opening state at the

same time, Connect the driving shaft of the DS and main shaft of the mechanism with

joint and link rod and reach following requirement:

a. After 3 to 5 times of operation, inspect the DS verifying if the properties of

opening and closed DS satisfy with the requirement. If the opening degree

of DS is 90° and there shall be a gap of 4mm between positioning bolt and

stopping blocks.

b. Adjust the stationary contact of the ES and tighten bolts, so to insert

correctly into the earthing stationary contact with the ES closed.

c. Adjust the balance spring on the rotating shaft in opening, so to keep the ES

horizontal position.

d. Inspect the interlock of mechanism for DS and ES and assure that ES

cannot close when the DS closes and vice versa.

7. Only manual operation is allowed during installation and adjustment period. After

completion of installation and adjustment and confirmation of manual operation, the

electrical operation (with motor operating mechanism) can be carried out.

5.4 Inspection after Installation and Adjustment

1. Operate the DS and ES respectively by hand for 3 to 5 times and it shall have stable

operation, good contact and correct opening and closing position.

2. When provided with motor operating mechanism, carry out operation for 5 times at rated

11
 operating voltage of motor, and 3 to 5 times at 85% and 110% of rated operating voltage

of motor, the opening and closing operation shall be normal.

3. Contact and contact piece shall have a perfect contact after the DS closes and the data of

resistance of main circuit measured (between the outgoing line terminals of two sides)

shall not exceed the data shown in table 3.

Rated Current of DS Resistance of Main Circuit Remarks

630 ≤ 180 Reference Value

1250 ≤ 140 Reference Value

1600 ≤ 120 Reference Value

2000 ≤ 90 Reference Value

2500 ≤ 80 Reference Value

4. The simultaneity among three phases at closed operation shall not exceed 10mm.

5. Inspect all the driving and rotating parts if they have been lubricated and if all the shafts,

pins and bolts have been tightened reliably

6. Inspect the interlock reliability of DS and ES.

6. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Subcontractor’s delegated Safety Officer and/or Safety Supervisor shall always be on site and
responsible for the safely coordination with Contractor regarding the requirement needed to
execute the work.

12
 Delegated Subcontractor’s Safety Officer and or Safety Supervisor will enforce minimum safety
requirements such as PPE for workers, identify Hot and Cold Work Permits if needed and to
arrange and coordinate with the Subcontractor’s Field Supervisor or Site Engineers regarding
safety concerns to prevent accidents.

Subcontractor’s Safety Officer and/or Subcontractor’s Field Supervisor/Site Engineers will also
be responsible during and after work hours in all workplace at site to be able to prevent any
incident due to obstructions and other protruding objects.

Nurse and first aiders shall always be available during the progress of construction. They shall
ensure that first aid kits shall always be readily available within the working area.
