Introduction As Paul Hawken states, good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them. This paper will explore the essential aspects of a Site Management Plan. Divided into two parts - part one is a graphical representation of the Construction Management Plan (CMP) - a flow chart demonstrating issues and/or notions relating to the construction and site plan. Part two Proposed Construction Project – Case Study The proposed construction project is located in the outter-skirt of Brisbane’s Central Business District, Spring Hill, Queensland, as demonstrated in Figure 1. A fifteen storey commercial construction project – site measuring at …show more content…
Meet Brisbane City Council Noise regulation. Allowed Noise Hours: 6:30am-6:3pm Monday-Saturday (Brisbane City Council) Note: The Project Managers are responsible for compliance with regulations 11 & 13 of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1971. DUST Requirements: Minimise dust within the construction site – ensuring no health risks will be involved with all involved Public Safety: Site is surrounded by residential and office buildings, as well as pedestrains – it is crucial that dust emissions don’t affect them Notes: Manage dust emissions generated within the project area, so that the appropriate dust criteria is met during both the construction and operational stages PUBLIC SAFETY & AMENITIES Requirements: City of Melbourne states that the public must be protected from activities occurring on building sites – it must be kept neat and tidy to maintain public safety and local amenity EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Requirements: Ensure Site Analysis has been carried out before construction commencement Note: Erosion and sediment has been identified as an issue for effective and environmentally responsible management for the project and is a requirement of project approval. In addition to this construction requirement there is
Several Australian Standards have been identified through the early stages of preliminary research. The purpose of these standards is to ensure structural safety for the Australian community in the present and in future. The Building Code of Australia (BCA) comes up with the required codes and requirement that ought to be followed whenever a structure is being laid. Among these standards are the AS 5100 bridge design, the AS 3600 concrete design and the AS 4100 steel structure design standards.

On December 3, 2014, I conducted a Health and Safety Inspection (EO1) at Warrior Coal LLC, Cardinal underground mine. I went to the mine to monitor the operators dust sampling; however, they were not sampling. Due to the operator not sampling I decided to travel to the # 2 Unit 002-0 and 004-0 Mechanized Mining Unit (MMU) to check the dust Parameters.
The system must exhibit no visible emissions to the outside air. The owner or operator may alternatively use air cleaning and shall, for fabric filter collection devices installed after January 10, 1989, provide for easy inspection for faulty bags. After January 10, 1989, if the use of a fabric filter creates a fire or explosion hazard, or the Director determines a fabric filter is not feasible, the Director may authorize as a substitute the use of wet collectors designed to operate with a unit contacting energy of at least 9.95 kilopascals (or 40 inches water gage pressure), or use a HEPA filter that is certified to be at least 99.97 percent efficient for 0.3 micron particles. The Director may authorize the use of filtering equipment other than described in Reg. 21.901(F) if the owner or operator demonstrates to the Directors satisfaction that it is equivalent to the described equipment in filtering particulate asbestos material. A copy of any authorization from the Director must be retained at the
To begin, after the site has been chosen several lengthy steps must follow, the site location meets all regulatory, environmental, historical and municipal zoning requirement approvals. Additionally, the property on which the tower will be constructed must be free and clear of all encumbrances and mortgages usually 100’ x 100’ square foot area of property. When all those steps are successfully completed and approved the construction can now move forward with a notice to proceed. There will be a site visit organized for the bidding process inviting pre-approved contractors, civil engineers,
The MW-1 2003 Contract was developed and published by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) and the Master Builders Association (MBA). This contract is the revised edition of the original ABIC MW-1 2001 contract
Dust in the workplace can be very hazardous and harmful to the health of the staff and patients. Dust can appear under bed, on cabinets, shelves and on fixtures and fittings. Exposure to excessive dust can lead to respiratory problems and skin irritation depending on the degree of exposure to dust. Dust can be prevented from accumulating by good housekeeping practices and prevent skin irritation and respiratory problems. (www.hse.gov.uk)

P. Engelbrecht et al., 2009). Geological dust exists naturally in the environment and is difficult to control on a large scale in arid conditions such as Afghanistan where dust storms are typical. However, watering, laying gravel or asphalt, and limiting movement can be used to limit the amount of airborne geological dust that enters the breathing zone. Burn pits are doctrinally used early in U.S. military deployments when waste management systems such as recycling, land-filling, and incinerations is not an option to dispose of the majority of solid waste (mixed waste) (Institute of Medicine, 2011). Disposing of mixed waste (metal, plastic, rubber, electronics, batteries, fuel etc.) through the use of burn pits creates a plume of smoke that may include lead, zinc, and cadmium as airborne particulates and cause potential health effects if inhaled (Johann P Engelbrecht, McDonald, Gillies, & Gertler, 2008). Health conditions related to the inhalation of air with elevated PM has been correlated to events where temperature inversions occurred. Meteorological conditions in Afghanistan where inversions are most likely occur from fall to spring (Johann P Engelbrecht et al.,
Site waste management would be in place, site waste will be at an absolute minimum due to offsite manufacturing of the building system.
A person can be an owner-builder who has an owner-builder permit issued by NSW Fair Trading to do owner-builder work relating to a complying development. The owner-builder work involves construction, renovation, repairing to a dwelling. However, there are some limitations to be owner-builder work. Our project can apply as owner-builder work because of the cost of the project which is $ 395,00 exceeds $10,000 and a single dwelling required development consent.
This can be done through efficient and high quality management/strategies, along with superior grade technology to minimize dust emissions from the coal mining process and transportation. It is up to Gundy Coal Ltd to ensure that their venture ensures to not exceed the particulate emission or deposition parameters established at any area in or accompanying.
The econometric results regarding mitigation cost anchored by marble factory workers shows that out of nine variables, seven variables shows positive significant relationship with direct mitigation Cost. Marble factory workers are less educated, they are not aware about the occurrence of diseases due to dust. Educated worker will be more concerned about his health and he will take precautionary measurements to avoid illness. Age have insignificant relationship with DMC.
This section should discuss proposed mechanisms and procedures for monitoring of project operations to ensure that activities occur as planned, that they remain directed towards stated objectives, and that appropriate corrective action is taken if required.
Management of transformed materials. Some of the sources of dust emission are the way how to handle materials especially the transformed materials such as pet coke and black coal. The factory transformed from pet coke and black coal coming from South Africa to local black coal. Some of the pet coke and black coal from South Africa accumulated without function and poor handling in the factory compound. It is better to take measures on these transformed materials urgently.
