i) I This method is large and heavy structures when crane facility is available.
ii) , A mobile crane for erecting the structures.
iii) i The two faces / sides of the complete structure are assembled on the ground and then erected.
i Alternatively, the two faces / sides of the major sections of the structure are assembled on the

ground and the same are erected as units.

iv) Each assembled side is then lifted clear of the ground with the crane and is lowered into
position on its foundation or fitted on to stubs or foundation bolts which are already grouted.
One side is held in place with' props or rope guys while the other side' is being erected. The
two opposite sides are then connected together with cross members.
v) In case where the major sections of the structure have been assembled, the first. face of the
second section is erected. After the two opposite faces have been erected, the bracings on the
other two sides are bolted up. The last liftraisesthe top of the structure. After the structure top
is erected and all side bracings have been bolted up, all the guys are thrown off.
,

4.4.4 Bui,t up method or piecemeal method:

361Pagc

(i) This method is used for large and heavy structures when crane facility is not available.
(ii) This method consists of erecting the structure member by member, The structure
. members are kept on ground serially according to erection sequence so that they can be sent
I up conveniently.
(iii) The erection progresses from the bottom upwards. The four main comer leg members of
the first section of the structure are first erected.
(iv) The cross bracings of the first section are raised one by one and bolted to the already
erected comer leg angles. If these have been assembled on the ground, then they are lifted up
as a unit.
(v) For assembling the second section of the structure, a derrick is placed on one of the comer
legs. This derrick is used for raising parts of second section. The leg members and bracings of
this section are then hoisted and assembled.
(vi) The derrick is then shifted to the cornerleg members on the top of second section to raise
the parts of third section of the structure in position for assembly. The derrick is thus moved
up as the structure grows. This process is the complete structure is erected.

1.3 PRINCIPLES
The principles supporting the Policy and Philosophy for the Safety Rules and Safety Instructions
are as follows:-
a!) The Safety Rules and Safety Instructions are only designed to protect people.
I
 b) 'lfhe primary method of achieving safety from the system is by isolation, followed by earthing
for EHV and HV equipment. (In the case of mechanical equipment, this shall-be-followed by
draining, venting, purging and discharging stored energy systems (as appropriate). Where
reasonably practicable, all points of isolation, vents and earths should be locked.
c) The application of specific instructions I procedures where these Rules cannot be applied (e.g.,
Live I Hot Line Working).
d) IThe safety precautions for all work and testing shall be maintained across all internal and
_external control boundaries.
e) Training of all staff and monitoring I authorizing certain staff that will carry out specific duties
lin the application of the Rules. -
t) :Ensuring compliance by a regular and systematic audit.

15.5 Dangers
The main dangers to personnel working on a battery bank are electric shock or burns arising
from:
• The possibility of personnel inadvertently shorting battery terminals.
• Dangers spilling of electrolyte on body.
• Asphyxiation or suffocation due to the fumes of storage battery acid.

15.6 General requirements

a) The Sub Station - In - Charge must carry out an assessment to determine the conditions
under which the work is to take place and if a safety document is required to be issued.
b) When work is to be carried out on a battery bank; adequate precautions must be taken to
achieve safety from the danger of DC voltage and spilling of electrolyte.
80lPagc

e) When work on live equipment requires portable instruments to be used for impedance or
.1 voltage measurements, the instruments must be provided with insulated probes.
d) When handling acid, extreme care must be taken and personnel protective .equipment like
face shield, apron, gloves, etc. must be used before work is undertaken.
e) Proper ventilation alongwith water supply in washbasin shall be ensured in or near the battery
room.
f) While preparing electrolyte, always ADD ACIn TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO
ACID.
g) Always clean spilled acid immediately.
b) During handling of acid, sufficient quantity of water mustbe available nearby.

16.3 Equipment Identification

Equipment on which work is to be carried out must be readily identifiable. Wherever necessary,
a means of identification must [Link] to it which will remain effective throughout the duration
of work.

16.4 Dangers
The main dangers to personnel from the operation of fixed fire protection / fighting systems are:
• Asphyxiation / suffocation as a result of operation of fixed fire fighting systems.
• Falling or striking against objects due to poor visibility after the release of contents of fire
extinguishers.

ii) a) I The following precautions must be taken:\
The automatic control of the fire protection system must be rendered inoperative and the
control kept on "Manual". Valves should be closed for the particular equipment for which

17.5 Dangers
Following are the dangers which the personnel may be subjected to while working on SF6 gas
filled equipments:
Since SF6 gas is heavier than air, there is danger of asphyxiation (suffocation) in the storage I
• work area in the absence of proper ventilation.
Decomposition products, e.g., sulphur fluorides and other toxic gases having pungent or
• unpleasant odour may cause irritation in nose, mouth and eyes.
17.6 Working Procedures
n . A Permit To Work must be issued before starting the work.
ii) The work equipment must be electrically isolated from other equipments.
iii) The equipment must be earthed at two points.
iv) Using gas evacuation trolley, SF6 gas should be taken out from the equipment and
evacuation upto about 50 mbar should be achieved.
v) After ensuring that total gas has been evacuated / removed, then only the equipment
.should be opened / dismantled.
vi) In general, a mask or other protective measures are not necessary when no appreciable
amount of dust (fluoride powder) or odor exists. However, during internal inspection of
the interior path of apparatus, personnel should take precautions to avoid exposure to the
break down products and suitable protective equipment· like gas mask (preferably
incorporating molecular filter, etc.), industrial type goggles (SF6 gas dust can sometimes
attack the glass of goggles, spectacles, etc.) rubber gloves shall be used.
vii) After completing the work on the equipment; should be reassembled.

Confined space is one of the following:
~ A normally sealed tank for which entry is gained via a manhole or inspection window or
. similar point of access, e.g., as in transformer tank, shunt reactor tank, GIS, etc.
ii) Open topped pits, sumps or trenches which may contain dangerous substances.
iii) Inverted bottom spaces which may contain dangerous substances.
iv) Rooms, buildings or other enclosures which contain gases that have displaced air.

. a). Asphyxiation or suffocation.
b) Poisoning due to toxic atmosphere.
c) Fire causing an explosion or burns to personnel.
d) Effect of excessive noise.
e) Falling or getting trapped within the confined space.
Danger in confined spaces can also be caused by work such as application of heat to the
surface which may cause ignition of the contents or cause a chemical reaction between the
contents or the residue.
iii) . Danger in confined spaces can also be present in open topped pits, sumps or trenches
which may contain trapped gases which are heavier than air, e.g., SF6t LPG, Chlorine or
sump solvents. Similarly, inverted open bottom spaces may contain gases which are
lighter than air, e.g., Hydrogen.

are present within the confined space and that there is a sufficient quantity of air to support
life.
d) The suitably qualified person should specify at what regular intervals such tests as at 20.5 (ii)
