work places including sub station before start of
the works. For Shifting of Cable trays from
storage yard to work place, proper lifting tools &
tackles, hydra & truck / trailor with good
condition to be ensured and the same to be
certified by competent person.

7. Ladder to be ensured/checked for
fixing/releasing the sling from Hydra hook
6. All the cut outs should be closed and edge
protection to be ensured in the working area.
7. Proper scaffolds with access to be installed so
as to bear the load of the bus duct.
8. Proper manual handling procedure to be
followed during the lifting and erection of bust
duct. Chain pulley block used for erection
should be of desired capacity and test certificate

cylinder end. Correct size nozzles to be ensured
and proper clearance to be maintained between
job and nozzle. Condition of the regulator, hose
and torch to be checked. Stone lighter to be
used.
12. Grinding Wheel rpm to be checked and to be
ensured for correctness. Grinding m/c wheel
guard is to be ensured.
13. Proper PPEs are to be ensured for all the
