Work on isolated equipment must not commence without full implementation of lockout procedures (refer to the “plant isolation” section for more information). Appropriate safety tags including “danger” and “out of service tags” are to be provided by the contractors. Such tags shall only be removed by the person who originally affixed the tag or by another person under their direct instruction, provided all relevant checklists have been completed prior to removal of the tags. All electrical leads shall be connected to the nearest electrical point and not be overloaded. All power tools and leads are to be tested and tagged by a licensed electrician prior to being brought on site, and then reviewed on a monthly basis. Leads must be located and protected to prevent damage from vehicles, hot equipment, falling objects, water etc and must be fitted with earth leakage devices. Leads must be suitably positioned to ensure they do not create a trip hazard. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Prior to commencing work on a CBRE managed premises or a CBRE office; the contractor shall inform CBRE of their presence on site. CBRE shall ensure that the contractor is appropriately inducted with regard to the site evacuation and location of emergency assembly points.

FIRE PROTECTION Fire protection requirements must be considered prior to the commencement of work. The contractor must conduct work in a manner so as to prevent the proliferation of fire. This may involve careful selection of tools, work methods and materials.
