| 1 | With large scale increase in construction activity on river valley projects involvinghazardous construction jobs, there has been an increase in the number of accidents, both major and minor ones. Further, increased construction activity in the underground jobs has created health hazards for the persons working under such conditions. In order to minimize such accidents and health hazards, it is the overall responsibility of the project authorities and contractors to provide necessary measures for the safety and health protection of all employees working on the projects. | |
| 2 | This standard (Part 11) lays down requirements for the safety aspects to be taken during underground excavation for structures like underground power house, transformer cavern, tunnels, shafts such as surge shaft, pressure shaft and cable shaft, additionally driven intermediate tunnels (ADITs) and such other structures associated with river valley projects. Safety measures that should be followed during their operation and maintenance are also described. | |
