h) Collection and disposal of construction wastes in appropriate manner especially
for hazardous building materials (e.g. Polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs] materials
and asbestos containing materials from old buildings to be dismantled, if any);
i) Maintenance of sanitary conditions at the construction site by providing appropriate
facilities like toilets, potable water supply, etc.;
j) Implementation of traffic control procedures to prevent traffic hazard or
inconveniences to surrounding residents (e.g. giving reasonable prior notice and
suitable alternative access to surrounding community, as necessary); and
k) Priority in hiring local residents and compliance with applicable labor laws,
ordinances and similar issuances including gender equality related policies.
III. Common Safeguard Requirements for Purely O&M PPP Projects and PPP
Projects with O&M Components
Projects that are purely O&M in nature are eligible for Certificates of Non-Coverage
for ECC. While the conduct of EIA is optional, other applicable requirements should
be complied with. The following are typical safeguards requirements that should be
considered in the drafting of the contract of: (1) purely O&M projects; and (2) PPP
projects with O&M components:
a) Optimal design of a management system for solid wastes and sewage
considering the detailed assessment of the projected generation;
b) Consideration of gender, cultural and vulnerable sectors including persons with
disabilities’ concerns in the design of the O&M System, including employment and
livelihood opportunities;
c) Implementation of water and energy conservation measures and of sustainabilitybased procurement standards for materials and services as part of the O&M
Systems;
d) Integration of health and safety considerations into the design of the O&M
System;
e) Proper maintenance of drainage, pollution control systems (e.g. oil-water
separator) and storage and disposal systems for waste oils, chemicals and other
hazardous wastes (e.g. busted lamps) as part the O&M; and
f)
Integration in the O&M design of appropriate disaster preparedness and risk
management plan to address specific geologic hazards in the project site.
