7 INSTALLATION OF ROOF MATERIAL & LIFE LINE ERECTION

The installation of roof material, installation of side materials, erecting of lifeline and
general cleanup.
7.1 INSTALLATION OF ROOF MATERIAL
Scaffold towers and life line erection will be maintained around workshops &
warehouses. Roof sheet will be lifted to the roof in a stack of 10 sheets at a time by
crane with proper sling tied around so as to stop from flying. After placing the sheet on
the purlins it will be tied with a rope. The sheet will be fixed by workers walking on the
roof tied to the lifeline. Only when the first sheet of roofing sheet is installed will a
second sheet will be fixed.
These sheets are of GI quality and thickness is min. 0.5mm.
Self tightening screws will be used with metallic and bitumen washer while fixing the
GI sheets. Hilti tool will be used to tighten the screws.
Special care must be shown in not attempting the roof material installation while high
wind is forecast.
7.2 INSTALLATION OF SIDING MATERIAL
Siding material will be lifted into position with cranes or pulleys. Only when a siding
panel is securely fastened will a second siding be erected. Special care must be
shown in not attempting the siding material installation while high winds are forecast.
7.3 GENERAL CLEANUP OF THE WORK AREA
A general cleanup of the work area will be conducted to ensure that no unused
materials are left on the erection site. All materials retrieved will be sent to the
warehouse for proper storage.

8 QUALITY ASSURANCE
A Quality Assurance System shall be operated conforming to related standards.

9 HSSE
All works shall be in compliance with the State of Qatar laws and regulations, Ras Laffan Industrial
City and International standards, codes, LINDE ENGINEERING AG and QSGTL and/or its PMC
requirements and instructions.
In addition all employees and GAMA subcontractor employees on site will have gone through GAMA
Qatar Site Safety Induction, LINDE ENGINEERING AG Site Safety Induction and QSGTL Safety
induction for site safety, health, environmental and security prior to resuming work activities at site.

Other training courses will be attended as required by LINDE ENGINEERING AG or QSGTL and/or its
PMC as required.
Risk Assessment will have been prepared by the Risk Assessment Team (RAT) ranking the hazards
associated with project works and control measures to be taken to mitigate the hazards to an
acceptable level.
Each scope work or task will have a completed and approved Job Safety Analysis (JSA) identifying
the potential hazards and control measures that will be implemented to protect people and
environment.
The JSA (RA) will be used by Supervisor as the basis of conducting his daily TSTI meeting and his
weekly Tool Box Talk.
For additional safety requirements for a particular or specific task please refer to the JSA prepared for
that task.
All personnel will have PPE required for their specific tasks in addition to the minimum PPE (coveralls,
safety goggles, safety helmet, safety shoes, high-visibility vests, gloves) at site at all times as
required.
