4 LEIGHTON/SUBCONTRACTOR DETAILS
The number of personnel required will be dependent on the task. Where work is deemed
high risk, such as working at height or in public areas, then a minimum of two members of
Leighton staff will be present during the works.
As the works will be carried out within the Car Park area outside Terminal 2 of the HKIA,
all works associated with this method statement must be carried out strictly in accordance
with the requirements of AAHK and as such, prior approval must be granted by AAHK
representatives prior to commencement of any works.
There are several permits which will need to be in place prior to the works
commencement. The specific requirements for each have been detailed in the table later
in this section. Due to the nature of the works, all relevant hard controls must be
implemented to protect the works force from potential Class 1 Risks in accordance with
the Leighton Risk Management Procedure.
All documentation relating to the electrical works must be kept on file and will be the
responsibility of the Electrical Permit to Works Coordinator (EPTWC) LCWJV.
Live works must be carried out under dead conditions. In the event that live works is
unavoidable then prior approval must be sought from AAHK. Live works must strictly
follow the procedures defined by AAHK and LCWJV.
The following must be in place prior to the commencement of any works associated with
this method statement:
b) A Responsible Person (RP) AAHK who will be responsible for the works must be
appointed by AAHK. Applications for RPs should be submitted at least 14 days
prior to the commencement of the works. A list of all RPs will be provided to AAHK
d) Insulated tools should be provided for all works carried out on electrical boards.
g) The methods, locations, programme and risks and other key details should be
discussed with the AAHK prior to the commencement of the works.
h) Calibrated test equipment should be made available and the calibration certificates
kept on file.
i) Site temporary power electrical distribution boards must comply with Leighton
standards and have Residual Current Device (RCD)s with Miniature Circuit
Breakers (MCB)s or Residual Current Device with Overload (RCBO) protection.
k) Ensure that all workers are competent to carry out the works described. Training
should be provided as necessary. Work briefings and a tool box talks should be
carried out prior to and during the works.
Due to the adoption of both AAHK and Leighton procedures, there are several
prerequisite documents which must be applied for prior to commencement of the works.
Reference should be made to the procedure documents listed in the References section
1.2 of this document for guidance on the specific documentation to be implemented
depending on the requirements of the work.
Inspector
a) All works associated with this method statement must be carried out by REWs of
the appropriate grade.
c) All works must be carried out on dead circuits which must be isolated and locked
off in accordance with the relevant procedures. A test for dead must be conducted
to ensure the power source has been isolated.
1. Electrical power circuits should be double isolated and locked off in accordance
with the LOTO procedure.
4. Disconnect active conductors from the relevant source(s), to identify any multiple
sources and stand-by systems/generators/photovoltaic systems as well as
auxiliary supplies from other boards.
5. If a removable or rack out circuit breaker or combined fuse switch is used, the
breaker should be racked out or removed, then locked open and tagged with
danger notices.
6. Lock the isolating switch(es) where practicable or remove and tie back relevant
conductors to protect the person(s) carrying out the electrical work.
7. Test to confirm the relevant circuits have been de-energised and any other
relevant conductors in the work area Re-testing as necessary.
10. The isolation lock key should be keep by the EPTWC-LCAL to confirm the
specified isolation has been completed.
The procedures below list the basic steps for making cable terminations. These are
intended for general information only since the procedures vary for different cable types
and sizes. In each case, the specific cable lug manufacturer’s instructions for terminating
will be followed to ensure reliability.
The construction risk assessment describes sequentially the operational tasks along with
the associated risks and their corresponding mitigating control measures to be
implemented for the works. The risk assessment is attached in Appendix D.
