CONTENTS

•    ensuring the supply and erection of construction zone fencing to protect their works for the duration of
     the contract works.
•    coordinating and facilitating pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow safely and unhindered around and the
     works/site.
•    Ensure there is to be no foul language, racist, sexist, violent or degrading behaviour.

The Contractor will immediately notify and furnish a written report to the Project Manager if any of the
following occurs in connection with the works:

•   Accidents involving death or personal injury;
•   Accidents involving loss of time;
•   Incidents with accident potential such as equipment failure, collapses and the like.


2.5.        ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The Contractor will ensure that all materials and the execution of the work are ecologically sound,
environmentally benign and consistent with the principles of sustainable development.

The Contractor is to ensure that no damage occurs to any existing trees or other plants which:

•   Are specified to be retained;
•   Are beyond the extent of works;
•   Need not be removed or damaged during the course of the works.

The Contractor will prevent the spread of dirt and mud along roads and paths. The Contractor will install silt
and sedimentation control for the work.

At all times the Contractor shall ensure that dust resulting from work in progress including excavation,
backfilling, grading and dust from stockpiles is kept to an absolute minimum by use of a water truck or other
approved methods.

Construction works shall be undertaken pursuant to the Environmental Protection Policy – Noise (EPP) in
relation to control of noise from construction activities.

The Contractor will be responsible for assessing any potential wildlife problems when tendering and during
the course of the works. Allowance must be made for any protection or control of such pests the Contractor
deems necessary including the prevention of Fire Ants entering the site via equipment, machinery, materials
or plant stock.

Subsequent wildlife damage to planting or other works will be deemed as defective work and subject to
replacement as per the normal contract conditions. Any proposed method of protection or control of pests
must be agreed with the Superintendent prior to use on site.

Landscape works must not obstruct overland flow paths and must include adequate drainage to minimise
ponding. Mulch or any floatable material must not be located in swales, overland flow paths or around grated
drains; and must not encroach onto kerb and channel, footpaths, pedestrian or vehicular/ circulation areas;


2.6.        ACCESS AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Pedestrian access must be provided to the adjacent properties during the course of construction. Liaise with
the Superintendent to confirm access of properties that are adjacent to the works to minimise the effect of
the works on the normal access to the properties and minimise the disruption to the normal commercial
activities of those properties. The Contractor must provide to the Project Manager a written report detailing
the time and length of any periods of reduced accessibility to properties around the site.

Provide safe access and public thoroughfare around the site perimeter for pedestrians and vehicles at all
times. Provide and maintain signage, barricading and lighting as required to safely direct vehicles and
pedestrians around the site. All works must comply with the relevant site works plan, and any relevant or
required traffic or pedestrian control plans.
