to what is loaded on the A-frames.

- Ensure that the storage area is flat, cleaned and with adequate lighting or
natural illumnation.

- Put EPDM cover if the storage area is prone to dust or near the activity of
scabbling and other civil works that creates excessive dusts.

- Make sure that the area is barricaded to avoid unauthorized personnel to get
near the curtain wall in so doing prevent potential any damage and scratches

- Survey the area of storage that nobody is working atop or any projected area
or unstable hanging objects or implements that may befallen on the glasses.

- Assign duty personnel to guard the glasses and may immediately report any
possible site activities posing risk of breakage to the glasses.

c) Cleaning of Work/Storage Area

- Maintain the job site clean at all times, store materials in an orderly manner

- The main contractor will provide skips for debris collection at the job
site and is responsible for disposal.

i. Wet one clean rag (lint free cotton or tissue papers) with Solvent and wipe
the entire sealant contact area with it, then

ii. Use the second rag to wipe the wet solvent from the surface BEFORE it
evaporates. (Allowing solvent to dry on the surface without wiping with a
second cloth negates the entire cleaning procedure, because the
contaminants are re-deposited as the solvent dries).

- Care should be taken in order to not to spread the contaminants being removed
by the solvent over the face of the area being cleaned. As any residue left may
discolor or stain the face of the panels (painted metal or reflective gas.

- When cleaning deep, narrow joints, wrap the cleaning cloth around a clean,
narrow blade spatula / putty knife. This permits force to be applied to the
surface to be cleaned.

- Clean only as much area as can be sealed within an hour (shorter in more dusty
environment). If cleaned areas are again exposed to rain or contaminants, the
surface must be cleaned again.

- Change to clean rags frequently as they become soiled. Small white rags are
preferred as it is easy to see the soiling as they can be discarded after each
cleaning.

- Do not dips used wipe cloths into solvent; this will contaminate the entire lot of
solvent. Always pour the solvent onto the cleaning cloth from small container,
and use clean containers for solvent use and for solvent storage. Cleaning with
contaminated solvent can result in sealant adhesion problems.

- IPA (Isoprophyl Alcohol) is the common solvent recommended for surface

cleaning.

- Solvent cleaning should be done in well ventilated area. Smoking, sparks,

welding and flames of any type must not be permitted in the vicinity where
solvents are being used. All instructions on the warning label of the cleaning
solvent should be complied.

e) Material Deliveries

- Material in general will be delivered from the workshop to the site with minor
exemptions for insulation etc. that will be delivered from suppliers directly to
the site.

g) Bracket Installation

Safety Precautions prior to embarking on bracket installation and succeeding works involving work
at heights:

Safety harnesses meeting the federal OSHA standards shall be provided by Alu Nasa, and shall be
used by all site workmen. The fall protection requirement is six feet (72”) for all works to be
performed. At no time shall an employee be exposed to the potential of a fall exceeding six feet (6’)
without required fall protection.

Appropriate work platforms, with proper guardrails or the use of exterior and interior safety nets,
which remove such fall exposures, shall be considered adequate substitutes.

Safety harnesses, lanyards, as well as lifelines, regardless of configuration, are to be inspected

monthly by the employer’s competent person. Said inspection is to be documented and a copy of
said documentation available to the project safety office upon completion of each inspection.

Inadequate scaffolding is responsible for many construction accidents. Scaffolds shall be designed,
built, and inspected by competent persons. To avoid the use of makeshift platforms, each
application will be carefully planned to assure that scaffolding is used where required and that such
scaffolding conforms to the applicable scaffolding erection requirements.

- One week prior to scheduled bracket installation start clear and set up safe working area in
the floor level to fix brackets in front of concrete slab edge or on top of the slab

- Shift pre-assembled brackets to work place

- Install safety line to secure man and equipment at workplace
