and maintenance of the equipment where appropriate.
Depending on the work activity of each Sub Contractor and their respective
personnel, the types of PPE that will require to be issued on the project will include
but may not be limited to: Safety helmets:
With the exception of site office compounds, the whole site

is regarded as a hard hat area and the wearing of helmets is
therefore mandatory. All helmets will comply with British
Standard BS 5240 or an equivalent Hong Kong standard
acceptable to the Factory Inspectorate. Where personnel are
exposed to windy conditions their helmets will be fitted with
chin straps.
Safety belts:
All personnel working at height where it is impracticable to

provide a working platform will wear a full body harness,
secured to an adequate anchor point by a suitable lanyard.
Safety harnesses will be manufactured and tested in
accordance with British Standard BS 1397 or an equivalent
Hong Kong standard acceptable to the Factory Inspectorate.
Lanyards manufactured and tested in accordance with the
foregoing standards will be used in conjunction with the
body harnesses specified above. When connected directly to
a static anchor point a lanyard of up to but no longer than 2
meters may be used. When connected to inertia reel block or
running line a lanyard of up to but no longer than 0.6 meters
may be used
Inertia reel blocks may be used in combination with a body
harness and 0.6 meter long lanyard. If an inertia reel block is
to be used it will be securely fixed to a suitable anchor point.
Where fall arrest equipment is issued, its use, examination,
maintenance and replacement will be in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations. Personnel issued with
such equipment will inspect it daily to ensure its continued
