Key Responsibilities & DMRC Compliances1. Underground Excavation & Utility Protection

Utility Clearance & Scanning. Verify underground utility maps and ensure Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT scanners) and manual trial pits are used before mechanical excavation to protect existing power cables (such as TPDDL/BSES lines), gas pipelines, and optical fiber networks.

Trench Shoring & Barricading. Inspect trenches deeper than 1.2 meters for proper shoring, benching, or sloping to prevent soil collapse, and ensure rigid barricading with blinking warning lights is installed.

Traffic Management. Implement DMRC-approved Traffic Management Plans (TMP) along public roads, ensuring proper signage, flagmen, and pedestrian walkways as per IRC norms.

Electrical & Cable Laying Safety

Permit-to-Work (PTW) System. Enforce strict PTW protocols for excavation, hot work (cable jointing/heat shrinking), confined space entry (manholes/cable ducts), and electrical energization.

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO). Verify zero-energy states, proper earthing, and LOTO compliance before workers handle, terminate, or test any electrical cables or feeder pillars.

Cable Pulling & Drum Handling. Inspect cable drum jacks, rollers, winches, and lifting tackles (valid third-party test certificates required) to prevent mechanical snapping or manual handling injuries.

Temporary Site Power. Audit all site distribution boards to ensure 30mA ELCB/RCCB protection, double earthing, and industrial-grade weatherproof sockets are used.

Training, Induction & PPE Enforcement

DMRC Safety Induction. Ensure no worker enters the site without completing mandatory DMRC SHE induction training, medical fitness screening, and receiving a valid site ID card.

Daily Toolbox Talks (TBT). Conduct daily pre-work TBTs focused on specific shift hazards such as live cable proximity, monsoon waterlogging, or night-shift visibility.

Specialized PPE Compliance. Mandate task-specific PPE including electrical arc-flash suits, insulated rubber gloves (tested to voltage class), insulated safety shoes, reflective jackets, and hard hats.

Documentation, Audits & Incident Management

HIRA & JSA Preparation. Prepare and update Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRA) and Job Safety Analyses (JSA) for every cabling stretch.

Compliance Reporting. Maintain daily inspection checklists, PTW logs, equipment fitness registers, and submit weekly/monthly SHE reports to the DMRC SHE Department.

Incident Investigation. Immediately report any near-miss, utility damage, or reportable accident (incapacity >48 hours) to DMRC within stipulated timelines and conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
