Environment Impact Assessment For Jiangxi Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport Beijing Guohuantiandi Environmental Technology Development Center. Ltd. Oct. 2012 Content

4.9 Occupational Health and Safety

Aircraft noise source intensity is larger, research shows that long-term exposure to noise, sound environment, will not only cause hearing impairment, leading to noise-induced hearing loss, but also to the human nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system and metabolism influence.

Noise control measures include the the control sound source, acoustic transmission control, and proecttion of the receptors. Due to special nature of the aircraft noise, aircraft noise source intensity cannot be effectively weakened. Therefore, control of the aircraft noise should be considered in the two aspects: control of the noise transmission and protection of staff. Methods are as follows:

(1) Airport building sound insulation and the use of hearing protectors

Due to the insulation effect of the buildings, the staff working in-door will not be affected seriously by the aircraft noise. In addition the noise insulation criteria have been taken into account in the design of the buildings, the insulation effect of the buildings is effective. However for the staff working out-door, particularly in the aircraft movement area need to be proteced from noise impact where they are prone to direct noise impact. (2) To control exposure time

Reducing the continuous exposure time of staff to the noise can effectively protect the receptors. Shift and job management methods can be used to reduce the exposure time to the airport noise.

(3) Periodic noise assessment and hearing protection program

The airport shall organize professional personnel on a regular basis to monitor the noise in different areas of the airport. The monitoring results will be used to help adjust the working plan for the staff in these areas. In addition, the airport management also should make the hearing protection program, for example, through training to improve staff hearing protection awareness; staff on a regular basis to hearing assessment, in order to timely understand the situation where the employees are affected by noise.

4.9.2 Health and safety of fuel management personnel

The process of storage, treansporation and filling of the oil in the aviation fuel storage area and oil tanker has greater safety risk, related to the management, operating personnel life safety threat, in addition, the fuel is corrosive, volatile, and contains a variety of toxic and harmful chemical composition. If not handled properly, the airport staff health will be adversely affected. Therefore, should strengthen oil disposal, management safety management.

According to the civil airport aviation fuel supply safety operation regulations, and the actual conditions of Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport projects, the airport oil disposal management should cover the following aspects:

(1) Establishment of safety management, its primary responsibility for the implementation of national production safety laws, regulations, rules and standards; production safety inspection work; to evaluate the safety of operation conditions, eliminates the safety hidden trouble of safety accident investigation;

(2) Establish the safe supply of jet fuel management system;

(3) On the staff began a safety management system of training and examination;

(4) According to the safe operation of the actual situation, organize the assessment of safe supply of jet fuel management system conformity, timeliness, and timely adjust and improve;

(5) Engage with the safe supply of jet fuel to run the relevant employees shall be certified;

(6) Organize periodic safety inspections, the inspection found problems should be corrected, and the formation of safety inspection records.

(7) Develop fuel management and disposal of emergency and rescue system.

4.9.3 Health and safety of dangerous waste disposal personnel

Airport depot area dirty oil and hazardous waste, the waste oil shall be reasonable collection and temporary storage, to avoid the human toxic and adverse effects.

(1) for hazardous waste disposal personnel to carry out strict safe operation training, to fully understand the nature of hazardous waste and ensure the safety of human body health method;

(2) Right choice, qualified waste oil collection, storage equipment, and regularly check;

(3) Disposed of personnel in operation should wear protective clothing and masks, avoid hazardous waste direct contact with the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

(4) If the field use, processing, storage of corrosive, oxidation, reactive chemicals at any time, must meet the requirements of the emergency personnel. In the workplace should be set easily using a first aid station; if specific workstation suggested first-aid measures is immediately rinse with water, should be in the workstation located near the eyewash station and/or emergency shower equipment.

4.9.4 Other physical hazards

According to the specific responsibilities, work at the airport ground service personnel may be influenced by a variety of different physical (physical) damage. The main occupation hazards may include the following causes fatigue phenomenon: carrying heavy loads; baggage and cargo handling repetitive activity/aircraft service operation; and moving ground service vehicle cargo or taxiing aircraft collision; and severe weather hazards.

In order to avoid the airport staff were subjected to physical harm, should take the following measures:

(1) In order to facilitate ground support vehicles operation, operators in passenger ladder, taxiway and other ground vehicles and aircraft collision where provide safety signs and the channel logo. Provisions of the safe zone to high risk locations were considered, such as a jet engine exhaust area, so as to provide protection for aircraft service personnel;

(2) The operator to all in the airport's staff training and issuance of certification . Related to the aircraft support equipment operating staff to be familiar with the passenger and taxiway traffic safety procedures, including the control tower and air contact;

(3) To keep the ground support vehicle safety features, including backup alarm, moving parts and protection, emergency brake switch;

(4) Engage all the baggage and cargo handling staff, whether it is formal employee or temporary employees, will receive appropriate handling, bending and turning skills training, in order to avoid back injury or stress. Special attention should be paid to the cargo hold of the aircraft handling, where the height is usually not suitable for staff standing (requires special handling or push-pull skills), and may have stumbled and slipping hazards to personnel with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as into the cargo hold work wear knee pads;

(5) Operator should coordinate with airlines, on the implementation of personal baggage weight limit of the necessity of carrying out the assessment, according to the local laws and regulations on personal baggage weight limit, if there are no relevant local regulations, while allowing individuals carrying baggage weight limit of 32000 grams (70 pounds);

(6) To pass the shift and prescribed rest time to reduce the staff engaged in carrying heavy loads of work frequency and duration;

(7) The operator must consider the use of mechanized cargo and baggage handling work, such as the use of leads to the cargo delivery device;

(8) Operators provide staff to prevent excessive cold or heat training, including the early symptoms and management skills (such as hydration, rest). For the staff to provide the necessary clothing, to prevent the emergence and weather related to stress, and the use of relevant work environment temperature.
