| Impacts | Proposed Mitigation Measures |
|---|---|
| Noise and vibration | • Clear lines of communication will be developed between the project team, contractors and any affected premises. • Construction work will be carried out during daytime only, where possible. If night working is required, the contractor should inform and agree with local area residents and concerned agencies. • All vehicles and mechanical plant used for construction should be fitted with effective exhaust silencers, and regularly maintained. • Compressors and pumps should be positioned so as to cause minimum noise disturbance. If necessary, temporary acoustic barriers or enclosures should be provided. |
| Increased solid and effluent waste generation | • Segregate waste at point of generation. • Any hazardous waste material will be sited on an impervious base within an oil-tight bund with no drainage outlet. • Liquid waste, including solvents and oil, will be securely stored in bunded compounds prior to collection by a registered waste handler. • Hazardous waste storage areas will have an impermeable floor and bunding, of capacity to accommodate the anticipated waste streams. • In the event of a spill, immediate clean-up will be undertaken. It is recommended that appropriate spill kits or absorbent materials are held on site. • Waste water (sewage) from the construction camp will be channeled into the existing sewer trunk. |
| Occupational safety and health | • The site must be fully fenced (hoarding) to prevent unauthorized access onto the site. • Potentially hazardous areas must be demarcated and clearly marked. • Design suitable documented emergency preparedness and evacuation procedures to be used during any emergency. • Ensure that adequate provisions are in place to immediately stop any operations where there is an imminent and serious danger to health and safety and to evacuate workers. • Provide measures to deal with emergencies and accidents including adequate first aid arrangements and provision of emergency telephone numbers. |
| Increased traffic | • A Driver Code of Conduct will be implemented stipulating and governing safe driving behavior, which will include no use of cell phones whilst driving. • All vehicles should not exceed the mandated speed limits of 30km/h. • A Traffic Management Plan will be developed and implemented, with at least the following provisions included: - o All drivers will be sensitized to potential accident risks; o All drivers will be periodically checked for alcohol consumption. o All vehicles will be regularly checked and maintained in good condition. o Vehicles will be correctly and safely loaded to avoid accidents, and all loads are secured and covered where they pose a risk of windblown dust or material spillage. • If required, alternative arrangements and routes for abnormal loads will be agreed in advanced with the relevant authorities and the appropriate permits will be obtained for the use of public roads. |
| Fire, explosion (LPG leaks) | • Install continuous gas detection systems that monitor for LPG leaks in critical areas such as tanks, pipelines, and valves. • Use flame arrestors and explosion-proof equipment in areas where leaks might occur. • Install deluge or water spray systems in areas of high risk, such as tank farms and loading/unloading areas • Apply foam-based fire suppression systems in areas with high flammability risks (such as storage tanks) to suppress fires quickly and prevent LPG vapor ignition • Place portable fire extinguishers near critical areas (both class B – for flammable liquids, and class C – for electrical fires). • Design LPG tanks with explosion relief vents to prevent overpressure in the event of an internal fire or explosion • Install automatic pressure relief valves on tanks and pipelines to avoid overpressure conditions that could lead to ruptures and explosions. • Implement emergency shutdown systems that can quickly isolate sections of the terminal in the event of a fire or explosion. These systems should be automated and manually operable. • Ensure appropriate safety distances between LPG storage and other critical infrastructure, such as power sources or other industrial facilities, to reduce the risk of cascading explosions. • A permanent warning sign must be installed at the entrance to the site. • The Emergency Evacuation Procedure aimed at workers and visitors must be updated at least annually in collaboration with the Mombasa County, VTTI, KPC, KMA and KPA emergency services. • The LPG Road tanker must be inspected on entry to the site, for possible overheated tyres, smell of heated rubber, LPG leaks or other defects that could place the site at risk. • All materials to be used at the site must meet both the manufacturers and Kenya Bureau of Standards specifications and standards. |
