SAFETY


During the rain, it is recommended:

Move cautiously: Although the weather may make you inclined to work more quickly to get out of

the rain, this is dangerous. Because rain causes slick surfaces, work more slowly and deliberately

particularly when climbing ladders.

Use the correct equipment: Do not use electrical tools and equipment that are not specifically rated

for outdoor use when working in th

Wear proper footwear with a deep tread to prevent slipping:

over your boot or shoe. Tucking your pants into footwear can cause water to enter.

Wear appropriate rain gear: Be sure the material is ventilated so it can be worn comfortably for

extended periods. If it is cold, select wool or synthetic materials that insulate even when wet. Be

certain clothing fits properly so it does not interfere with movem

Use proper hand protection that features a strong, slip

adequately tight and long enough to allow your rain coat sleeve to prevent water from entering.

Ensure adequate vision: If you wear glasses or goggles, use anti

going outside. Wear a hood or hat to keep rain out of your eyes. Because a hood narrows your range

of vision, be sure to look both ways when wearing one. When working at night, make sure lighting is

adequate and the lights used are rated for outdoor use.

Make sure you can be seen: Wear high

heavy machinery. Do not wear rain gear or vests that have become dull or are no longer reflective

It has always been raining these days. For some, it is a great opportunity to beat the heat and enjoy the raindrops but also it is the time to be extra cautious while performing our work ,as a heavy downpour may cause a lot of anxieties if we do not exercicaution especially when it comes to electrical safety & working on tower.

As a general reminder now is the time to consider that

environment during the monsoon season brings with it certain Health and Safety threats that

affect both our home lives and NSN business

WORKING AT

HEIGHT IN

RAINY SESSION Weather conditions are important when

planning any work at height. You need to

identify, plan and respond to key risks:

o Do not climb the Tower while raining.

o Lightning (stop work immediately).

o High winds (give careful consideration to

lifting operations).

o Always wear Gum Boots while entering a

site as there is a possibility of snakes &

other reptiles hiding in the grown up

grass during raining season.

o When working on the Tower, if you find

any darkening skies, flashes of Lights or

increasing wind, Please come down from

the tower and go to the safe place.

o It is a good practice to use dry rubber

Shoes at work place

o To avoid being struck by lightning stay

away from open fields, high land, trees,

poles, other tall objects and standing

bodies of water. Stay in your home or

vehicle if possible.

If monitored carefully, weather changes can be

anticipated but sometimes changes can occur

quickly and without warning, if they do, work

may have to be stopped.

Always follow Nokia safety standards for working at Height.

ELECTRICAL WORK IN THE RAIN

When stepping into a flooded area, be aware that submerged outlets or electrical cords may energize the water, posing a lethal trap.

Do not overload power boards. It is much safer to have another power point installed.

Stay away from areas or buildings marked with signs that read Danger: High Voltage.

Never, ever touch an outdoor electrical pole or wire that has fallen to the ground. It could kill you!

Stay away from transformers (usually large metal boxes attached to utility poles or on the ground).

Never touch anything electrical with wet hands or bare feet.

Come inside during a thunderstorm. Many people around the world are struck by lightning each year.

If you see a person who has been or is being electrocuted, call for help. Do not touch the person because they could be carrying the flow of electricity.

Electric power tool must be properly grounded or doubleinsulated to prevent electrocution. Be sure to inspect the cord for fraying, cracks, and other damage before use, and avoid using an electric tool while standing on a wet surface.

Treat any downed wire as if it is energized, stay away and don't touch. If you see a downed power line, move away from the line and anything that may be touching it.

Be careful not to put your feet near water where a downed power line is located.

If you are in your car and it is in contact with the downed power line, stay in your car. Tell others to stay away from your vehicle.

Do not drive over downed power lines.

Stay away from accumulated water around electrical installations or that may have downed wires in or area.

Do not touch wet electrical switches

Driving in the rain

Dont Drive too fast on wet roads.

A thin sheet of water can form

between the tyres and the road

which may cause one to lose

control because of aquaplaning.

Avoid excessive or sudden

braking. Always apply brakes

smoothly and progressively. If you

brake hard, the car might skid due

to the slippery condition of the

road.

If stuck in the mud, try sticking to

the 1st or 2nd gear and accelerate

slowly in order to avoid wheel spin

and getting stuck further.

Avoid deep puddles of water. You

The rains are almost here and its important to keep in mind some safety tips before heading out on flooded roads:

Carry out a thorough check on your Vehicle for brakes, steering, fluid Levels, tyre pressure and tread depth.

Make sure that your wipers are in Good condition and working properly.

In case the wiper blades are old or damaged, get them changed

If the visibility is low outside due the rain, switch on your headlight in order to increase the visibility and also so that the passersby can see your vehicle from a safe distance.

Always drive slowly through standing water. Make sure that you are driving at constant speed in order to prevent water from getting sucked inside the tail pipe, which would intern result in an engine seizure.

Always follow Nokia safety standards for Driving on road.

Do not drive too fast on wet roads.

A thin sheet of water can form between the tyres and the road which may cause one to lose control because of aquaplaning.

Checking the tread depth of tyres is extremely crucial. Groves in the tyres physically extract water from between the road surface and the tyre tread it actually cuts through the water, and provides grip. If the tyres are worn, the car will be far more prone to aquaplaning leading to loss of control. While tyres are important for safety at any given time, in the rains that


The presence of standing water and the humidity is an ideal breeding ground for Malarial and Dengue carrying mosquitoes. The pre & post monsoon season is prone to the outbreak of diseases, namelyMalaria, Chikungunya and Dengue fever.

Symptoms of Dengue and Chickungunya:

Both diseases cause High Fever up to 105 degree fahrenheit, severe pain behind the eye, severe joint pains and muscle pains. Dengue fever symptoms differ from Chickungunya in that they include bleeding from the nose and gums and theblood in their vomit and in their stools.

Precautions to be taken include: Remove all stagnant water from inside and outside your home and office environment

water vases, flower pots, storage containers, guttering, balconies etc neighbors do the same.

Pour insecticide or use kerosene oil on water that cant be moved to prevent mosquito larva from being able to be born or hatch.authorities for their action

Cover up skin with long sleeved clothes, trousers and socks to pr Use mosquito repellent on exposed skin, nets over beds and sprays and burning coils to

help prevent being bitten. Be aware that Dengue mosquitoes are believed to bite during the day and Malaria

Hot humid temperatures shorten the shelf life of foods and can causes skin rashes and heat stroke.Flooding and water logging raises the chance of contamination of the water supply leading to rises in diarrhea associated conditions and cholera.

Precautions to be taken include:
