Mitigation Measure 1: Impacts due to soil erosion
will be mitigated by careful grading of the
construction site such that water is not allowed to
run off the site into adjacent drainages, agricultural
fields or inhabited areas. Where excavated soils are
stored onsite, adequate measures will be
implemented to control runoff, including covering
exposed soils, construction of settling basins, or
erection of erosion control barriers surrounding
stored soil.

Mitigation Measure 1: Insure that all workers are
provided with appropriate PPE (e.g. gloves,

 In populated areas, avoid work early in the
morning, in the evening and overnight
 Engineering noise control – reduce noise from
machines and equipment; relocate noisy
equipment by isolating them within
enclosures, erecting sound barriers, reducing
kinetic or potential energy and regularly
maintaining machines and equipment;
 Use quiet running machinery and equipment
when available in the market, such as
generators and compressors. Provide hearing
protectors for workers who are exposed to
excessive noise and ensure that they are worn
at all times. Install warning signs in areas with
excessive noise to remind workers that hearing
protectors must be worn.
Mitigation Measure 1: Insure that all workers are
provided with appropriate PPE (e.g. gloves,
