For workers
347.
During project implementation, special attention should be paid to compliance with
Occupational Health and Safety requirements and the accommodation of labor camps if they
will be organized for the construction of service centers. Labor camps have to provide safe
and adequate living conditions for workers, such as dining rooms, toilets, shower rooms and
emergency medical kits and other measures for firefighting and fro example, the prevention
of electric shocks. In addition, Contractors shall instruct all workers to act in a responsible
manner. At the completion of civil works at a particular site, the Contractor will remove all
equipment and structures, clean up the territory, dispose of all waste materials, and
rehabilitate all construction sites and work areas so that these can be returned as soon as
possible to their previous use.
348.
Occupational Health and Safety non-compliance may create a risk for construction
workers. The Contractors will be required to develop Occupation Safety and Health Plans,
which will cover among others the following topics: (i) usage of PPE, (ii) working procedures
with hazardous materials (such as asbestos materials, paints and solvents and etc.), (iii)
training activities and (iv) other requirements.
For the sites with demolition activities
(Namangan and Tashkent), Asbestos Management and Disposal Plan (AMDP) will also be
developed by the Contractors with assistance by the PMC based on the template provided
in Appendix 4.
Mitigation measures
349.
The following measures need to be undertaken:
• Comply with the requirements of the Labor Code of Uzbekistan (1998) and standards
on work and health safety26;
• Ensure that all site personnel have a regular environmental and OHS training on EMP
implementation;
• Ensure all workers are provided with and use PPE;
• Logbooks on conducted OHS and Environmental training will be kept on all
construction sites. Moreover, all construction sites will have a logbook recording any
accidents and emergency situations;
• For the Tashkent and Namangan sites an AMCMP will be developed by Contractors
and implemented by the workers.
5.2.4 C u ltu ra l heritage
350.
There is one historical heritage site located close to the construction site in
Surkhandarya province, a Buda temple. It is located around 500 meters to the north-west
from the planned construction site. Due to the type of construction works which will not
generate noticeable vibration and given the long distance between the temple and the site,
no impact on the temple will occur during the construction stage.
351.
Due to the relatively small sizes of the project sites (mostly 0.3 hectares to 1.0
hectares) the chance of finding archeological artifacts is small. Nevertheless, the Contractors
need to be aware of any chances of finding heritages during excavation works, including the
excavation of building basements. For these cases, mitigation measures will be undertaken
in accordance with the procedure indicated in the Law of Uzbekistan "On Protection and Use
of Objectives of the Archeological Heritages” (2009). A procedure on chance finds of
