3. FIELD RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY For most site investigations access and environmental constraints have major influences on cost. It is therefore necessary for a field reconnaissance survey to be conducted as the first stage of a geotechnical investigation. This may be undertaken by NAPECO Geotechnical Engineer specifically engaged for this survey. Information on the following should be obtained:

Legal and physical aspects of access to site, for example, access for drilling rigs.

Availability of any services or supplies of water, electricity, earthworks plant. Buried or overhead services. Photographs of surface conditions. Traffic control requirements. The possible effects of alternative investigation techniques on the

environment (for example, ground disturbance, water discharge, noise etc). On-ground survey details. Tide, river level or other natural constraints. Notes on any exposed geology, for example the presence of boulders, bedrock exposure, swamps etc.

The field reconnaissance survey must be diligently prepared and conducted to allow for reliable cost estimates to be prepared. Experienced and suitably qualified personnel should perform the survey. Further stages of the investigation should be held until the field reconnaissance survey has been completed.

4. DESKTOP STUDY

Every site investigation should commence with a desk study directed towards collecting, collating and reviewing the following:

Design drawings from any previous structure at the site. Previous site investigation reports, borehole logs, penetrometer results and

construction experience e.g. piling records. Geological maps, survey data and records. Hydrological data. Aerial photographs. Regional seismicity data. Survey records, local knowledge and resources


3

Where possible, collection of the above information should be undertaken during the field reconnaissance survey stage. However, further work to fully explore the extent of information available may be required.

5. FIELD INVESTIGATION

A comprehensive geotechnical investigation of the project site should be carried out in order to characterise the materials and conditions which will be encountered during the construction and operation of the project, their nature, variability, extent and any special requirements to be observed. The investigation should include an evaluation of the geology and hydrogeology of the site. The detail of the investigation should be commensurate with the potential risks, hazards and complexity of the project. The investigation should include geological surface mapping, sampling of soils throughout the project site with appropriate logging of all excavations and boreholes, logging of existing cut slopes and excavations, field and laboratory testing including field monitoring, measurement of groundwater levels, moisture regimes, soil strengths and compressibility, analysis and interpretation of the results and preparation of a geotechnical report. ‘L’ shaped Inspection Slit Trenches Prior to the start of drilling activities, ‘L’ shaped inspection slit trenches of 0.8m wide and 1.0m inner length of each sides will be excavated by hand to a depth of 1.5m to check the presence of underground services at the proposed borehole locations. The primary equipment used for the excavation of the inspection slit trench is an appropriate manual excavation hand tools for the local conditions. Supporting equipment such as a water truck is likely necessary for dust control and backfill. Equipment for safety may include signs, barricades, fencing, shoring, ladders and air quality monitoring equipment. Locating trenches requires appropriate survey/global positioning system (GPS) equipment.

Drilling of Borehole and Sampling

Drilling will be carried out according to (BS 1377: Part 9:1990, 3.3) using mechanical augering and/or rotary wash techniques with or without bentonite mud flush. Borings will generally be the “N” size of 76mm.The drilling fluid used for drilling purposes shall be water only.

Mechanical Augers used for exploration in soil shall be continuous-flight hollow stem Augers bit with a minimum outside dia of 150mm - 200mm. Rotary mud drilling techniques also used for exploration in soil with drag / fish tail bit with a minimum outside dia of 100mm.

Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) will be carried out in accordance with the ASTM D 1586, at specified intervals and disturbed samples will be obtained for determining the soil stratigraphy and contamination distribution (only for environmental sampling). The SPT samplers will be driven using a 140 lb (63.5 kg) automatic hammer falling freely through a vertical height of 30 inches (0.76m). For each borehole, a visual classification of soil will be recorded in the borehole log.


5

In cohesive soils, undisturbed samples will be collected by using Shelby tube / Dames & Moor samplers. The choice of the sampler will depend on the shear strength of the soil encountered. All samples will be handled and protected in accordance with specifications.

Fig - 2: Drilling of Borehole When rock is encountered, boreholes drilling will be terminated. Otherwise, if the client wish to have rock samples, then rock coring will be advanced by rotary coring using double tube core barrels in accordance with BS 4019: Part 3, 1993. The core barrels would be fitted with face discharge diamond or tungsten carbide bits. After recovery of the core barrel to the surface, the extracted cores will be transferred into a transparent PVC tube and placed in the standard core boxes with both the ends properly capped and sealed. The core boxes will be made of wood, 1.5m in length and divided to hold two rows of cores. The recovered samples will be delivered to the client's laboratory or other destination as instructed by the client, or to be handed over to the client at site. The labeling, storage, protection and transportation of all samples will be handles in accordance with the specifications. All field operation will be supervised and directed by NAPESCO’s Engineers.

Trial Pits

Trial Pits are relatively small hand or machine excavated tranches, shall usually be made at shallow depths below the existing ground levels. A trial pit is used for obtaining information on the subsurface soil conditions. It allows logging of the various soils types and soil bulk sampling. Bulk sample taken from the test pits of not less than 50 kg each shall be sent to test at laboratory for compaction and CBR test. Bulk sample taken from the test pits of not less than 50 kg each shall be sent to test at laboratory for compaction and CBR test.

Fig - 3: Trial Pit

Installation of Piezometers and Observation Wells

Piezometers and observation wells will be installed (BS 5930) at selected locations at the site as per the client instructions to a depth at least 5m below the groundwater level or maximum depth of 25m below the natural ground level to monitor and collect groundwater samples. The installation procedure will be as follows:-

1. Drilling boreholes of 4.5” diameter to the final depth (already drilled hole).

2. Introducing PVC screens manually slotted and casings of 2” diameter.


7

3. A filter pack will be provided around the standpipe with fine gravels. The filter

material extended from the bottom of the borehole over the length of the

perforated section of the standpipe and to 1m below existing grade.

4. Cement-bentonite will be placed around the annular space from ground surface

to 1m depth.

5. The standpipes will have risers of approximately 1m in height above the existing

ground level, and will be protected with PVC cover.

Fig - 4: Piezometer

Soil Electric Resistivity Tests

Soil resistivity is of particular importance and interest in the corrosion process because it is basic in the analysis of corrosion problems and design of corrective measures. Wenner four electrode method will be used for measuring soil resistivity of in-situ soil. Soil resistivity is a function of soil moisture and the concentrations of ionic soluble salts and is considered to be most comprehensive indicator of a soil’s corrosivity. Typically, the lower the resistivity, the higher will be the corrosivity. Soil Resistivity test also used for designing the electrical earthing electrode systems.


8

The standard test method for field measurement of soil resistivity using Wenner four-electrode method (ASTM G-57) will be used for measuring soil resistivity of in-situ soil, to serve as guide in the control of corrosion of buried structures. Resistivity is defined as the reciprocal of conductivity and is actually the electrical resistance between opposite faces of a unit cube of material indicates the relative ability of a medium to carry electric currents. The Wenner method requires that four metal electrodes be placed with equal separation in a straight line on the surface of the soil to a depth not exceeding 5% of the minimum separation of the electrodes. The electrode separation was selected with consideration of the soil strata of interest.

Fig - 5: Wenner Soil Electric Resistivity Test

Field Permeability Test

Permeability, as the name implies (ability to permeate), is a measure of how easily a fluid can flow through a porous medium. In geotechnical engineering, the porous medium is soils and the fluid is water at ambient temperature. The test method BS 5930 was used to determine the coefficient of permeability of the in-situ soil.

Fig - 6: Field Permeameter

Field CBR

Tests will perform in accordance with ASTM D-4429. This test method covers the determination of the california bearing ratio (CBR) of soil tested in place by the penetration load of the soil. Field in-place CBR test are used for evaluation and design of flexible pavement components such as base and sub-base course and sub-grades and for other applications (such as crossover unsurfaced roads for) for which CBR is the desired strength parameter.

Fig - 7: Field CBR


10

Field Density Test The test method ASTM D 4914 / ASTM D1556 is use to determine the in-place density and unit weight of soils using a sand cone apparatus. A test hole will be hand excavated in the soil to be tested and all the material from the hole is saved in a container. The hole is filling with free flowing sand of a known density, and the volume is determined. The in-place wet density of the soil is determined by dividing the wet mass of the removed material by the volume of the hole. The water content of the material from the hole is determine and the dry mass of the material and the in-place dry density are calculated using the wet mass of the soil, the water content, and the volume of the hole.

Fig - 8: Field Density Test

Plate load Test

This test method ASTM D 1196 / BS1377 (Part 9) covers estimation of the bearing capacity of soil in place by means of field loading tests. This test method can be used as part of a procedure for soil investigation for foundation design. It gives information on the soil only to a depth equal to about two diameters of the bearing plate, and takes into account only part of the effect of time.


11

Fig - 9: Plate Load Test

Dynamic Cone Penetration Test

The Dynamic Cone Penetration Test provides a measure of a material’s in-situ resistance to penetration. The test is performed by driving a metal cone into the ground by repeated striking it with a 17.6 lb (8 Kg) weight dropped from a distance of 2.26 feet (575 mm). The penetration of the cone is measured after each blow and is recorded to provide a continuous measure of shearing resistance up to 5 feet below the ground surface. Test results can be correlated to California Bearing Ratios, in-situ density, resilient modulus, and bearing capacity.

Fig - 10 DCPT Test


12

Static Cone Penetration Test (CPT) CPT testing will be performed to a maximum depth of 10m or refusal. Electrical Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is normally carried out independently of the borehole which gives more precise and accurate results compare to Standard Penetration Test (SPT). This method of testing is standardized in BS 1377 Part: 9./ ASTM D3441 CPT provides valuable geotechnical parameters such as soil bearing capacity and soil strata. The CPT is to be carried out using the equipment manufactured by Gouda Geo or Geomil, The Netherlands. The electrical CPT equipment mainly consists of a data logging system, which is the data collector instrument and several CPT probes which will be used to take the readings of the required parameters. The cones are calibrated periodically by the manufacturer in the Netherlands. A 20-tonne capacity hydraulic system will be provided to give thrust for advancing the cone into the ground. The cone will be pushed into the ground at a constant penetration rate of 2cm per second and continuous measurements will be made with the penetration cone. A spirit level will be used for adjusting the inclination of the CPT rods. The cone probe performs continuous measurements and recording of three parameters, which are tip resistance, local sleeve friction and ratio along with the depth of the probing.

Fig-11: CPT Test


13

Cross Hole Seismic Test

The seismic cross-hole method according to (ASTM D-4428) provides information pertinent to the seismic wave velocities of the materials under testing. This data may be used as input into static/ dynamic analysis, as a means of computing Shear Modulus, Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s ratio or simply for determination of anomalies that might exist between boreholes. The method for preparation of boreholes for in-situ cross-hole testing incorporates two or three borings in line spaced 10 feet apart, center-to-center, on the ground surface. The boreholes shall be drilled with minimal sidewall disturbance and all precautions should be taken to maintain as plumb a drill hole as possible. Borehole diameter is not to exceed 6 inches, and the borehole depth should extend a minimum of 5 feet beyond the maximum depth where seismic measurements are required. After drilling is completed, the borings should be cased with PVC pipe of 3 or 4 inch inside diameter. Either threaded or flush joint can be used. Two options exist for grout completion of the annulus between the PVC and borehole wall: 1) The PVC casing shall have a ball- check valve (one-way) capable of accommodating a 1½ inch outside diameter grout pipe; or, 2) an end cap can be placed on the PVC pipe prior to insertion into the boring. The PVC pipe shall be filled with water and then grouted in place for the entire length of the borehole through the 1 ½ inch grout pipe or by a small diameter tremmie grout pipe inserted in the annulus to the bottom of the borehole between the casing and the borehole sidewall. Due to the need for solid coupling between the seismic sources and receivers with the PVC, and the PVC with the native materials (i.e., soil and/ or rock) the injection of grout to fill the annulus may be the single most important completion procedure to ensure that quality seismic data is obtained. The grout mix shall be formulated to closely approximate the density of the surrounding in-situ material after solidification. When grouting through a pipe within the annulus, the portion of the boring that penetrates rock should be grouted with conventional Portland cement which will typically harden to a density of about pounds per cubic foot (pcf). The portion of the boring in contact with native soils or man-made fill materials shall be grouted with a mixture simulating an average density of about 110 or 120 pcf. This is accomplished by pre-mixing 1 pound of bentonite and 1 pound of Portland cement to 6 ¼ pounds of water; if lower soil densities are encountered, additional bentonite can be added to the premix.


14

Keeping the PVC pipe anchored, the grout is pumped into the annular space from the bottom of the borehole upward using a conventional, circulating pump capable of moving the grout through the tremmie pipe. Using this procedure, the annular space between the PVC and the minimally-disturbed sidewall will be filled from bottom to top in a uniform fashion displacing mud and debris with no further disturbance. The grout pipe shall then be removed and PVC pipe capped. Borehole separation measurements and deviation surveys shall be conducted in each boring to determine drift and inclination at each depth where seismic measurements are acquired.

Fig-12: Cross Hole Seismic Test

Downhole Seismic Test The Downhole Seismic Test makes direct measurements of compression (P-) or shear (S-) wave velocities, or both, in a borehole advanced through soil or rock or in a cone penetration test sounding. It is similar in several respects to the Crosshole Seismic Test Method (Test Methods D 4428/D 4428M). A seismic source is used to generate a seismic wave train at the ground surface offset horizontally from the top of a cased borehole. Downhole receivers are used to detect the arrival of the seismic


15

wave train. The downhole receiver(s) may be positioned at selected test depths in a borehole or advanced as part of the instrumentation package on an electronic cone penetrometer (Test Method D 5778). The seismic source is connected to and triggers a data recording system that records the response of the downhole receiver(s), thus measuring the travel time of the wave train between the source and receiver(s). Measurements of the arrival times (travel time from source to sensor) of the generated P- and S- waves are then made so that the low strain (<10–4 %) in-situ P-wave and S-wave velocities can be determined. The calculated seismic velocities are used to characterize the natural or man-made (or both) properties of the stratigraphic profile.

Fig-13: Down-hole Seismic Test

Pressuremeter Test

Pressuremeter test will be carried out to a depth of 15m borehole at 1.0m intervals. Test will be performed in accordance with the general procedures ASTM D 4719 on the wall of a borehole using a cylindrical probe that is expanded radially. The test basically consists of placing an inflatable cylindrical probe in a pre-drilled hole and expanding this probe while measuring the changes in volume and pressure in the probe. The probe is inflated under equal pressure increments or equal volume increments and test is terminated when the yield in the soil becomes


16

disproportionately large. The Pressuremeter test provides a stress-strain response of the soil on site. A Pressuremeter modulus (E) and a limit pressure (PI) are obtained for use in geotechnical analysis and foundation design. The tests is to be carried out with the Tri-Mod S type pressure-meter probe with three (3) gauges positioned at 120o around the probe. Three (3) readings are recorded after 30 and 60 seconds for each pressure level. The pressure steps should be 7 to 10 load increments or using 25kPa, 100kPa, or 200kPa pressure interval for procedure A or increase the volume of the probe in volume increments of 0.05 to 0.1 of Vo for procedure B until the limit of the equipment is reached. Prior to positioning of the probe in the borehole, initial readings are taken for the volume, Vo by measuring the un-inflated probe at atmospheric pressure. Accuracy of the reading must be 0.2% of Vo and pressure readings of 5% of the limit pressure. After reaching the maximum test step, deflate the probe to its original volume and remove the probe from the hole. Loading and unloading cycles may also be performed within the elastic expansion range of the soil wall pressure.

6. LABORATORY TESTING

Particle Size Distribution by Sieve Analysis

The gradation tests will be performed on soil samples collected from different depths of the borehole in accordance with ASTM D-422 / BS 5930:1999. The results will used to verify visual classifications.

Fig - 15 Particle Size Distribution by Sieve Analysis

Moisture Content

Moisture Content of the soil samples will be determined in accordance with ASTM D-422 / ASTM D-2216. For many soils, the water content may be an extremely important index used for establishing the relationship between the way a soil behaves and its properties. The consistency of a fine-grained soil largely depends on its water content. The water content is also used in expressing the phase relationships of air, water, and solids in a given volume of soil.


18

Fig - 16 Moisture Content Test

Hydrometer Tests

The test method ASTM D422 covers the quantitative determination of the distribution of particle sizes in soils. The distribution of particle sizes larger than 75 micrometers (retained on the No. 200 sieve) is determine by sieving, while the distribution of particle sizes smaller than 75 micrometers is determine by a sedimentation process using a hydrometer. The balances, stirring apparatus, hydrometer, sedimentation cylinder, thermometer, sieves, water bath or constant-temperature room, beaker, and timing device are using in this specified test method. Sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, and hygroscopic moisture analysis will perform on the sample soil.

Fig- 17: Hydrometer Test


19

Atterberg Test (Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index)

Atterberg limits (Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index) will perform on fine grained soil samples passing sieve 0.425mm according to ASTM D-4318.

Liquid limits, plastic limits and plasticity index of soil samples will determine for estimating the natural soil consistency. These factors will use for ascertaining the classification of soils.

Fig - 18: Atterberg Test

Direct Shear Tests

Direct shear box test will carry out on relatively undisturbed samples recovered from the boreholes to determine the inter particle friction angle of the soils. Prior to shearing the test specimens, the soil is compacted into the shear box with original natural density determined from the undisturbed Dames and Moore samples. The rates of shearing used are 0.5mm/min. The test procedure follows ASTM D3080-90.


20

Fig - 19: Direct Shear Test

Specific Gravity

The test method ASTM D-854 is use to determine the specific gravity of soil. These test methods covers the determination of the specific gravity of soil solids pass the 4.75mm (No.4) sieve, by means of a water pycnometer.

Fig - 20: Specific Gravity Test


21

Bulk - Dry Density

Bulk and Dry Density of soil samples collected by using the Dames & Moore sampler will determine in accordance with ASTM D 1556. / BS 1377: Part 7-1990. The results of the tests will give along with the direct shear test results.

Fig - 21: Bulk – Dry Density Test California Bearing Ratio Test This test method covers the determination of the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) of pavement subgrade, subbase, and base course materials from laboratory compacted specimens. The test method is primarily intended for (but not limited to) evaluating the strength of materials having maximum particle sizes less than 3⁄4 in. (19 mm). The test will be performed in accordance with the standard method ASTM D 1883-05. The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is a load test applied to the surface and used in soil investigations as an aid to the design of pavements. The laboratory test uses a circular piston to penetrate material compacted in a mold at a constant rate of penetration. The CBR is expressed as the ratio of the unit load on the piston required to penetrate 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) and 0.2 in (5 mm) of the test soil to the unit load required to penetrate a standard material of well-graded crusted stone.


22

Fig - 22: CBR Test

Unconfined Compressive Strength Test This test method covers the determination of the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soil in the intact, remolded, or reconstituted condition, using strain-controlled application of the axial load. This test method provides an approximate value of the strength of cohesive soils in terms of total stresses. The test will perform in accordance to ASTM D-2166-06.

Fig - 23: UCS Test


23

Unconsolidated-Undrained Triaxial Compression Test

This test method (ASTM D 2850) covers determination of the strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of either undisturbed or remolded cohesive soil. Specimens are subjected to a confining fluid pressure in a triaxial chamber. No drainage of the specimen is permitted during the test. The specimen is sheared in compression without drainage at a constant rate of axial deformation (strain controlled).

Fig - 24 UU Triaxial Test

Consolidated – Undrained Triaxial Shear Test

This test method covers the determination of strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of either an intact, reconstituted, or remolded saturated cohesive soil. Specimens are isotropically consolidated and sheared in compression without drainage at a constant rate of axial deformation (strain controlled). Test method provides for the calculation of total and effective stresses, and axial compression by measurement of axial load, axial deformation, and pore-water pressure.This test method provides data useful in determining strength and deformation properties of cohesive soils such as Mohr strength envelopes and Young's modulus. Generally, three specimens are tested at different effective consolidation stresses to define a strength envelope. The test will be performed in accordance to ASTM D-4767


24

Fig - 25 CU Triaxial Test

Fig - 26: Proctor Test


25

Permeability Test

The test Method ASTM D-2434 is use to determine the permeability (hydraulic conductivity) of a sandy soil by constant head test method. Permeability (hydraulic conductivity) refers to the ease with which water can flow through a soil. The constant head method is used for permeable soils (k>10-4cm/s).

Fig - 27: Permeability Test

One-Dimensional Consolidation Test The test Method ASTM D-2435 is use to determine the one-dimensional consolidation test of soil. These test methods cover procedures for determining the magnitude and rate of consolidation of soil when it is restrained laterally and drained axially while subjected to incrementally apply controlled stress loading. The data from the consolidation test are used to estimate the magnitude and rate of both differential and total settlement of a structure or earth-fill.


26

Fig - 28: One-Dimensional Consolidation Test Collapse Potential Test Collapse Potential tests were performed on selected soil samples recovered by D&M samplers as per ASTM D 5333-03. The tests were carried out by placing the soil specimen at natural water content in a consolidometer, applying different vertical stresses and inundating the specimen with water to induce the potential collapse in the soil specimen.

Fig - 29 Collapse Potential Test


27

One-Dimensional Swell Potential Test The test Method ASTM D 4546-03 covers three alternative laboratory methods for determining the magnitude of swell or settlement of relatively undisturbed or compacted cohesive soil. The test method can be used to determine (a) the magnitude of swell or settlement under known vertical (axial) pressure or (b) the magnitude of vertical pressure needed to maintain no volume change of laterally constrained axially loaded specimens.

Fig - 30 One-Dimensional Swell Potential Test

Thermal Resistivity

The test method ASTM D-5334 is use to determine the thermal resistivity. This test method covers the determination of the thermal resistivity of the soil. Soil thermal resistivity is the major parameter required when determining the current rating of an underground power cable.

18.0 INCIDENT REPORTING

18.1 INCIDENT INVESTIGATION

18.1.1 Incident investigation and reporting is followed to serve two purposes: uncovering the

root cause of an incident and establishing corrective and preventive actions to avoid a

similar incident from occurring in the future.

18.1.2 A clearly defined process for incident investigation is followed in which all different

speculative causes from a number of different elements (such as equipment, people,

systems, processes, etc.) are examined for their possible role in the incident.

18.1.3 Once the root causes have been identified, why and/or how they contributed to the

incident must be determined. In this way, as each possible cause of an incident is

analyzed until the core of the problem is revealed.

18.1.4 As soon as the incident occurs, a preliminary report should be prepared and sent to

the involved parties, incident investigation should follow gathering as much

information as possible from involved or affected parties before final report is

prepared.

18.1.5 The process should be applicable for all near misses; accidents or any other incident

like a safety suggestion that calls for investigations.

18.1.6 A near miss can lead to a minor incident, which can lead to a major incident. This

progression may be visualized as a pyramid with at-risk behaviors at the bottom, near

misses in the middle and major incidents at the top.

18.1.7 The goal is to work at the bottom of this pyramid, concentrating efforts on potential

NAPESCO

HSE Manual

problems instead of consequences. Therefore, every process and piece of equipment

should be evaluated to identify potential problems.

18.1.8 Participation of management and employee involvement should ensure all potential

problems receive the same kind of attention as an incident. 19.0 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT

19.1 Defenitions

• Hazard: any undesired event associated with people, equipment or

environment which could result in damage to life and property if not

controlled. • Risk: any potential threat to life and property associated with hazardous work

practices. 19.2 Any hazardous work practice observed or reported should be analysed to identify all

hazards involved.

19.3 All risks or potential threat to life and property should be clearly assessed for each

hazard identified.

19.4 Necessary control measures should be planned and implemented to ensure the

hazaard and risks associated are eliminated.

19.5 Details of hazard assessment should be recorded (see Appendix) and filed.

20.0 NEAR MISS REPORTING

20.1 Definition: “A Near Miss is an undesired event, which under slightly different

conditions & circumstances could have resulted in physical loss or injury or damage

to property.”

20.2 A near miss can lead to a minor incident, which can lead to a major incident. This

progression may be visualized as a pyramid with at-risk behaviors at the bottom, near

misses in the middle and major incidents at the top. 20.3 The near miss reporting is a valid and valuable practice for the company and should

be encouraged. It will result in improvement in safety practices or general work

practices. Such incidents should be discussed with the concerned personnel/section

before being reported for evaluation.

20.4 In the event of any such mutually agreed near miss incidents reported, with in 1 day,

20.7 Cases were safety alerts and safety bulletins are to be issued as part of the corrective

and preventive action plan, the safety officer shall initiate such actions in

coordination with the concerned employee/department

20.8 All reports will be closed after review of implementation of the corrective and

preventive action by the service manager.

21.0 ACCIDENT REPORTING

21.1 Definition

Accident: An accident is an undesired event, which causes physical loss or injury or

damage to the property.” Accidents shall be classified as per the following guidelines:

• FA – First Aid, the case in which the affected is subjected to first aid

treatment at location and resumes duty on the same day. • MED – Medical Treatment, the case in which the affected is subjected to

medical examination or treatment by a practicing medical expert and resumes

duty on same day. • LTA – Lost Time Accident, the case in which the affected is either admitted

for treatment or given rest time before resuming duty by a medical expert. • FAT – Fatality, the incident causing death.
