WORK PERMIT AND
ACCESS PASS REQ’TS;
February 13, 2024
Thank you for your email regarding the submission of requirements for the
installation of our fiber optic facility at Plain Crest Subdivision.
We are pleased to inform you that we have successfully attached the required
documents to this email, as outlined in your request. Please find the attached files
containing all necessary information and specifications for the project.
We trust that these documents meet your expectations and provide the details
required for the commencement of the installation process. Should you require any
further clarification or additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to the next steps
in our partnership. Please contact me at ((043) 333 9392) or
bermodezdaniel@gmail. com to schedule a meeting.
Sincerely,

NAP
• For pole to pole attachments - always use two (2) span clamps when attaching to
messenger wire. The two (2) span clamps should be in between the center of the pole. The span
clamps should be at least twenty (20) inches apart and with 6 inches looping (see below picture).
Note: Use the specified reflective stickers when attaching to every non-Globe pole (i.e. Meralco
and other poles with Joint Pole Agreement/JPA and approved Request to Attached/RTA). Use
1”x 1” size sticker (2 yellow and 1 green color sticker) with 1” spacing.
For extended facilities without JPA and without foreign strand, use pole clamp DEG with
hooks or Stainless-Steel Strap with hoop- fastening retractor.
• Avoid sagging, bending should have minimum bending radius of 30mm or twisting that
will produce macro bend on the fiber drop cable.
• Eliminate Fiber Drop Cable Sagging on Long Span.
For span length exceeding 50 meters (164 ft.) – additional Span clamp (in the center) must be
used between pole spans to support the Fiber drop cable.
For span length exceeding 100 meters (328 ft.) – The spacing interval of span length shall be
divided into three (3) to support the Fiber drop cable.
NOTE:
Attachment of FOC and installation of NAP on BATELEC Steel pole are not allowed.
CABLING and
Installations complied
to
BATELEC RTA
GUIDELINES
Installation of aerial FOC cables should be able to conform with standard installation
practice including handling and laying of the cable.
Cable clearance at mid-span should not be below minimum height as described for vertical
clearances.
• 18-21ft (5.5 - 6.4m) - clearance from ground level. (along the road)
• 23-24ft (7.0 – 7.3m) - clearance from ground level. (on road crossings)
Other provisions:
• Diagonal road crossing shall be avoided at all lines.
• The following alterative engineering solutions shall be considered at road crossing if
the standard seven (7) meters clearance between the lowest section of the FOC and
the existing road level is not achieved due to overhead constructions:
• Underground installation by open trench;
• Underground installation by HDD;
• Routing of FOC route if possible.
• Diagonal road crossing shall be avoided at all lines.
• Aerial cable distance shall be 70 meters (maximum) length pole to pole spans with
the range of 5.5 – 6.4-meter clearance from ground level, while for road crossings,
clearance from ground level shall be 7 meters minimum
• Vertical Clearance of 5.5m cable crossing permissible when crossing area has nearby
overpass usually 4.27 vertical clearance
Cable clearance at mid-span should not be below minimum height as described for vertical
clearances.
Cable should not cross inside property line
• Cables should not be crossing private property
• Cables crossing private property is substandard for aerial installation and will only be
allowed if all options are already exhausted.
• Even with lot owner consent we still need to assess the security of the cable facilities
• i.e. accidental damage due activity of lot owner, fire etc.
• ALOC – Adjacent Lot Owner Consent

• Additional 3 Bridle Rings for double

For harm to occur, there must be both Hazard and Exposure.

By crossing the road, they are
exposed to the hazard.

An incident can involve a near miss, where someone narrowly avoided injury or illness.
But, if a serious injury takes place, we are talking about an accident. What they have in common
is that both events are unplanned and can cause damage to places or things. It is only accidents,
however, that cause serious injury or illness to people. So, all accidents are incidents, but not all
incidents are accidents. Therefore, incidents are common than accidents, in fact, accidents make
up only 2% of incidents. But, does that mean that they shouldn’t be given priority within our
safety protocols?

CONTROL
-To regulate or restrain to put on track.
HAZARD CONTROL
A management function that aimed at eradicating or
minimizing the effect of hazards.
• Engineering Control
- Elimination
- Substitution
- Isolation
Administrative Control
Personal Protective Equipment
Engineering Control - are the first line of defense. They are physical changes to the work
area or process that minimizes a worker’s exposure to the hazard.
Personal Protective Equipment - is equipment that protects workers against health or safety
risks on the job and reduces worker exposure to hazards. PPE includes items such as protective
helmets, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear, safety harnesses and,
sometimes, respiratory protective equipment.
This man should be wearing these PPEs to protect him from HAZARD in his work place.
SAFETY IN OSP
ACTIVITIES
CONDUCT DAILY SAFETY HUDDLE
PROJECT SUPERVISORS / TEAM LEADERS MUST CONDUCT SAFETY HUDDLE
BEFORE THE START OF ACTIVITIES.
Purpose:
• To discuss the daily tasks and deliverables.
• To check the conditions of all personnel.
• To check any possible hazard present in work site.
• To ensure all workers are on the same page and understand that certain actions should
always follow standard practices and procedures. These meetings reinforce safety training.

RULE 1087 USE OF SAFETY SHOES
Workers shall be provided with approved safety shoes and leg protection whenever necessary as
determined by the nature of work.
All personnel present on site or working area should be wearing a reflectorized vest.
Safety Belt is an essential tool for people who work at great heights where a fall could prove
injurious or deadly.
All personnel assigned to ascend on ladder should wear a safety belt
LADDER SAFETY
Participants will be able to:
• Identify safe and unsafe ladder practices
• Describe correct practices when ascending and descending a ladder
• Describe correct practices for using extension ladders
LADDER SAFETY
Use the right ladder for the job
Ladder Type: Extension Ladder
Made: Fiber Glass
Fiber glass is a non-conductive material
Aluminum made extension ladder is not allowed to
use in OSP activities
Inspect the ladder prior to use
• No rungs missing
• Rungs in good condition, no cracks, not slippery, firmly in place
• Equipped with slip-resistant pads
• Pulley, rope, locks and hooks function smoothly on the extension ladder
• All attachment parts are in good condition
Set-up the ladder properly
• Barricade the area of work
• Clear the area around the base
• Install the ladder on a level surface
• Install the ladder at a correct angle from the wall
• A minimum of 36 inches overlap is required
• Must be secured at the top
• Must have a clear area where the feet of the ladder will be positioned
•
• Must have area secured with cones or barrier tape, or have an attendant
