Abstract
The purpose of the Guideline is to provide all projects under the DoLIDAR with basic principles for working safely on construction sites and for ways for Contractors and managers to manage the safety and health on site. The handbook compliments the Constitution, Labour Law and the National Occupational Safety and Health Policy of Nepal and hopes to give the ability to manage the safety and health requirements on site.
Information in this Guideline deals with the hazards in situations, which potentially produce the highest level of risk, and offers appropriate safety measures to control hazards and minimize risk. Its main purpose is to help develop safe work practices and to meet the statutory and common contract requirements in undertaking construction works under DoLIDAR. It is not intended to cover eachnand every type of workplace scenario, nor to be used as a pictorial guide of do’s and don’ts. The focus is to address the most common – and hence more accident-prone - hazards found in DoLIDAR worksites.
