Schedule 5 rows
| 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. • 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. • 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: - • All drivers will be sensitized to potential accident risks; • All vehicles will be regularly checked and maintained in good condition. |
| 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). • 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. |
