1.2 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK, REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICABLE
STANDARDS
There is no independent and consolidated legislation on HSE in Pakistan. Basically, in

Pakistan Occupational Health and Safety and Environment are dealt separately.
1.2.1 Occupational Health and Safety
The key law, which governs these issues, is in the Factories Act, 1934. All the
provinces, under this act, have devised through Factories Rules separately. The
Hazardous Occupations Rules, 1963 under the authority of Factories Act is another
relevant legislation. These rules not only specify some hazardous occupations but also
authorize the Chief Inspector of Factories to declare any other process as deemed
appropriate, as hazardous. The other related laws are:
Dock Laborers Act, 1934; This act provides protection against accidents of workers
employed in loading or unloading ships.
Mines Act, 1923;Mines Act, 1923 is a Federal Legislative frame-work empowering the
Provincial Governments to make Rules and Regulations for their respective Provinces
for different categories of mines. The Act ibid. emanates from the constitution which
provides for “Regulation of Labour and Safety in Mines. Mines Act is a law relating to
Safety of Mines and Safety Health and Welfare of Mine Workers.
Workmen Compensation Act, 1923; - This act is one of the important social security
legislations. It aims at providing financial protection to workmen and their dependents in
case of accidental injury by means of payment of compensation by the employers
Provincial Employees Social Security Ordinance, 1965: This legislation which was
introduced a scheme of social security for providing benefits to certain employees or
their dependents in the event of sickness, maternity, employment injury or death and for
such like matters.
2
Boilers and Pressure Vessels Ordinance, 2002: This ordinance controls the safe use
and operation of boilers and pressure vessels. It requires, among other things, boilers
and steam receivers within its coverage to be operated under the direct supervision of a
"competent person", who should possess a certificate of competency issued by the
Boilers and Pressure Vessels Authority (the Authority).
Labors Law: Labor laws in Pakistan are governed by several legislative tools. However,
the principal labor rights are provided by the constitution of Pakistan. In addition, to
constitutional rights, Acts and Ordinances have been enforced for limiting working
hours, minimum working age and conditions of employment. The laws will be applicable
to the project construction contractors.
Employment of child Act, 1977: Article 11(3) of the Constitution of Pakistan prohibits
employment of children below the age of 14 years in any factory, mines or any other
hazardous employment. In accordance with this Article, the Employment of Child Act
(ECA) 1991 disallows child labor in the country. The ECA defines a child to mean a
person who has not completed his/her fourteenth year of age. The ECA states that no
child shall be employed or permitted to work in any of the occupations set forth in the
ECA (such as transport sector, railways, construction, and ports) or in any workshop
wherein any of the processes defined in the Act is carried out. The processes defined in
the Act include carpet weaving, biri (kind of a cigarette) making, cement manufacturing,
textile, construction and others).
The explosive Act, 1984: It provides regulations for handling, transportation and use of
explosives. The EPC Contractor have to abide by the regulation during quarrying,
blasting and for other purposes.
The Factories Act (1934) has general provisions on health and safety at the workplace.
Provincial governments are allowed to make rules under this Act and inspectors under
this Act also have discretion in defining the rules. It talks about various safety
arrangements. It also deals with the regulations for handling and disposing of toxic and
hazardous materials. As the construction activity has also been classified as an
“industry,” the regulations will be applicable to The EPC Contractor. HSE provisions are
also available in the Pakistan Dock Laborers Regulations for dockworkers.
1.2.2 Environment
The Federal Ministry of Environment has been devolved under 18th amendment in the
constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and similarly provinces were enabled to
legislate on the subject of environment, therefore Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) assembly under
schedule 4 of “GB (Empowerment and Self Governance) Order 2009” can make laws on
the list of subjects provided in it. In that context, GB Environmental Protection Agency
(GB-EPA) is the responsible authority for policy making on environmental protection in
GB. The GB Environmental Protection Act, 2015 was enacted in 2015 by repealing the
Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (1997).
The salient features of the law are;
 Establishment of the GB Environmental Protection Council,
 Establishment of GB Environmental Protection Agency,
 Establishment of the GB Sustainable Development Fund,
 Protection and conservation of species,
 Conservation of renewable resources,
 Establishment of Environmental Courts and Green Courts, and
 Conducting Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA).
GB Environmental Protection Agency (GB-EPA) has been establishment under section
(8) of Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997. Main functions of GB-EPA are to;
3
take measures to promote research and development of science and technology which
may contribute to the prevention of pollution, protection of the environment, and
sustainable development; identify the needs for, and initiate legislation in various sectors
of the environment in provincial level; provide information and guidance to the public on
environmental matters; specify safeguards for the prevention of accidents and disasters
which may cause pollution; and encourage the formation and working of
nongovernmental organizations, community organizations, and village organizations to
prevent and control pollution and promote sustainable development.
Other project related national environmental laws, regulations, policies and guidelines
are as follows:
 National Conservation Strategy (NCS), 1992;
 National Environment Policy, 2005;
 Pakistan Labor Policy, 2010;
 Pak-EPA (Review of IEE and EIA Regulations, 2000);

effort for monitoring and managing the project activities at different stages.
Following are the agencies to liaise with:
 Environmental Protection Department (EPA), GB, Environmental Law compliance,
IEE implementation reporting
 NGOs of the area, Public Health Department, Forestry Department (landscaping,
replanting disturbed areas during construction, soil protection), Wildlife
Department (protection of wildlife of the area), Fisheries Department (Protection of
aquatic fauna), Archaeological Department.
 Ensuring all the sub-contractors to follow the PEPA regulations and other
requirements stipulated in the construction contracts concerning dust suppression,
11
solid waste disposal, wastewater disposal, air pollution, noise and vibration,
biodiversity, traffic management, occupational health and safety, transport,
storage and use of explosive materials.
1.4.6 Complaint Register
A complaint register will be maintained at the work site by the EPC Contractor to
document all the complaints received from affected persons/community. The information
recorded in the register will include the followings:
1. Date of the complaint;
2. Description of grievance/issue;
3. Particulars of the complaint; and
4. Actions to be taken and persons responsible to take the actions.
On receipt of a complaint, the EPC Contractor will register it and forward to field
consultant/supervisory consultant. The supervisory consultant will review the complaint
keeping in view its nature and suggest remedial actions after discussion with the
proponent. The proposed actions will also be shared with the aggrieved person. In case
of environmental issues, the decision of supervisory consultant will be considered as
final decision but in case of any social issue and compensation related issue the
decision of supervisory consultant will also be forwarded to the project director of Hanzel
for his review and approval of the actions taken.
The complainant views on remedial actions and suggestions will also be documented in
the complaint register. In case, the complainant is not satisfied with the decision taken to
resolve the grievances, the affected has the right to appeal to the higher level.
1.4.7 Mitigation Management Matrix (MMM)
Environmental protection and enhancement is achieved in various ways. These
approaches should begin right at the grass root level and should continue through each
phase of the Project. Appropriate environmental management measures are required to
be exercised in a cascade order by the Proponent, Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) Contractor during the construction of the project.
In this way, it is envisaged that the Project will achieve maximum ongoing cost-
effectiveness, environmental sustainability and social soundness, far beyond if it’s
implemented at the end of the Project. All phases of the Project have to be managed by
adopting the proposed environmental mitigation measures, which, besides the
engineering aspects, are given due importance which make a perfect blend with the
surrounding ecosystem.
MMM is provided in Table 3 and it identifies the following:
 The impacts and required mitigation measures;
 The person/organization directly responsible for adhering to or executing the
required mitigation measures;
 The person/organization responsible for ensuring and monitoring adherence to
mitigation measures;
 The parameters which will be monitored to ensure compliance with the mitigation
measures; and,
 The timing at which the mitigation or monitoring has to be carried out.
1.4.8 Contractual Provisions
The EPC Contractor will be legally bound for the execution and implementation of EMP,
HSE Plan and other site-specific plans during the construction stage of the Project.
12
1.4.9 Coordination with Stakeholders
Proponent will ensure that coordination with the project primary stakeholders including
PAPs and residents of the area, GB, EPA, Irrigation Department, Wildlife and Parks
department, Forest Department, Communication and Words (C&W) Department and
other district level departments and EPC Contractor on environmental and social
matters as required. EMP is maintained throughout the implementation period
(construction and O&M phase) of the project.

1.4.10 Environmental Monitoring Plan
Environmental monitoring provides timely and useful information to the project management and implementation agencies.
Conceptually, “monitoring” means to check and balance, on a regular basis, the status of the project activities and realization of
various developmental targets during construction, operation and maintenance. It helps in timely identification/analysis and removal
of the bottlenecks and expedites actions. Certain environmental parameters (physical, chemical and ecological) are selected and
quantitative analysis is carried out. The results of analysis are compared with the guidelines; standards and pre-project condition to
investigate whether the EMP and its implementation are effective for the mitigation of impacts or not.

1.4.11 Instrumental Monitoring
During the IEE process, environmental monitoring will be carried out by an EPA approved
laboratory to establish base line conditions. The main purpose to conduct the monitoring is
to get the results of various parameters of water, air & noise and to compare them with
monitored parameters during the construction as well as EPC Contractor can compare them
with the National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS). The monitoring during the
construction phase will be carried out by EPC Contractor by hiring and EPA approved
laboratory. The below table shows the parameters, location, frequency and estimated points

construction period. Similarly, a section the main road which needs relocations as well as any
temporary access roads land also needs to be acquire.
38
Land for the construction of the Project components will be acquired by the Project proponents
as per the provisions of the LAA. The process has been initiated to acquire the land well before
the start of the construction activities.
As a standard procedure section-4 has be notified. Moreover, Secretary Law GB, authorize
Deputy Commissioner/Collector to start the land acquisition at the project zone.
The estimated land required will be 17 hectares (42 acres). The estimation of land requirement
will be finalized after the detail design by the EPC Contractor. The land that will be used for the
powerhouse, spillway and power channel, contractor camps, stores; and operator’s colony is 17
hectares (42 acres).
The land-use maps showing the proposed location of the Project components are attached as
Annex-II. Land acquisition details will be updated when fully acquired by the Client.
1.4.17 Affected Structures
Due to the proposed project few houses, shops, trees and crops will be affected and
compensation will have to pay to the owners of affected structures as per land acquisition act.
However, one boys primary school and one dispensary in Hanzel Bala near four bay area may
be affected during construction period, therefore, relocation of the school and dispensary may
be required prior to the start of construction activities.
1.4.18 Tree Plantation

The total number of estimated trees to be removed for the Project implementation is
approximately 2240. The Plantation/Reforestation of suitable species to be carried out in the
affected areas shall not only improve the water quality, but will also improve the overall
environment/Ecology of the area. The loss of vegetation in the Project AOI, after construction of
the Power House, will be compensated by Plantation/Reforestation measures carried out in the
disturbed area before operational phase.
The site of 20MW Hanzel Hydro Electric Power Project is located on the right Bank of Gilgit
River a tributary of Indus River at about 12km from Gilgit town. Based on Google imageries
different areas in the proposed project area were identified having comparatively good Tree
density. The selected area having about 2240 trees. (Final tree count & Plane will be
incorporated in IEE report).
The area can be afforested and vegetation cover can be improved by adopting standard
afforestation technique of digging pits, as the site is suitable for this type of afforestation.
Afforestation/Plantation shall be carried out on the suitable area as sufficient barren land is
available in immediate vicinity of the Site. The adjacent area to the project site shall be taken up
in order to increase the grazing capacity of the area as on submersion of the livestock, which
used to graze here shall be shifted to surrounding areas.
Approximately 22,400 plants can be raised in at an average rate of 500 plants / acre. These
plants can be raised in area at an average 10’*10’ rate of spacing while technically observing
site quality and capacity in the light of Plantation Objectives. The ratio of 1 is to 10 is considered
for the potential area, remaining trees are will be planted at later stage, under the supervision of
Forest Department, to improve the local Ecology.
Pits should be dug, in the blank, areas at a spacing of 10’ x 10’. (Spacing may vary from specie
to specie and Plantation site) The pits should be of 2’ dia at the top and 1’ dia at the bottom with
39
a depth of 1-3/4” ft (May vary according to soil profie 7 structure). The earth taken out of the pits
will be deposited below each pit in a crescent shape, so as to form a ridge with a clear berm of 9
inches in front. The consecutive crescents will be joined to catch the maximum quantity of
moisture. Line to line distance of 10’ may be reduced on steeper slopes planting should be
carried out in the pits and sowing on the berms, before or immediately after the first shower of
rain. Number of pits in the area should be nearly 500 per Acre. The choice of species for area is
given below:

5 Poplar Populus alba
6 Kikar Acacia nilotica
7 Palosa/Phulahi Acacia modesta
1.4.19 Monitoring and Reporting

Monitoring will be carried out to check the implementation and effectiveness of EMP and HSE
based on data collection and analysis. The frequency of reporting will depend upon the scope of
the project activities. Results of internal monitoring of mentioned parameters will be documented
in periodic reports to assess the progress.
The information will be collected directly from field through periodic surveys and submitted to
the project director for his feedback and actions. Monthly environmental reports will be prepared
by the EPC contractor and reviewed by the supervisory consultant and summarized in "quarterly
monitoring reports" for onward submission to the proponent and subsequently submitted to GB,
EPA by the proponent.
