Foreword
This Health, Safety and Environment Handbook serves

as a guide for EHS operations on sites.
It is Huaweis prime objective that all operations are to

be carried out in a safe manner, and that every measure
is to be taken to prevent personal injuries to our staff,
contracts, customer and members of the general public
who have legitimate interaction with our work operations.
Huawei is fully committed in making the network and

operational sites a safe place to work and will treat site
safety matters with highest priority.

It is hoped that the site management, employees and
subcontractors will find this handbook useful in
understanding the main provisions of our approach to
safety.
Remember -
Think Safety, Work Safely
Personal Responsibilities
Your most important responsibilities are:
To take reasonable care of your own health and

safety.
To take reasonable care not to put other people -

fellow employees and members of the public - at risk
by what you do or don't do in the course of your
work.
To comply with the defined safety practices, making

sure you get proper training where it is required.

Not to interfere with or misuse anything that's been
provided for your health, safety or welfare.
To report any injuries, strains or illnesses you suffer

as a result of doing your job.
To tell your supervisor if something happens that

might affect your ability to work (e.g. becoming
pregnant or suffering an injury).
If you drive or operate machinery, work at heights to

tell your supervisor if you take medication that
makes you drowsy or impairs you ability.

are not obstructed.
Stack on level, firm

surfaces and use packing
where appropriate. Never
stack materials higher
than three times the base
width.
Make sure you wear

suitable protective clothing
such as gloves and safety
boots, and use handling
accessories as required.

Excavations

Page 49
Ensure that the sides of an excavation pit are properly
shored before you go down to work.
Proper shoring,
access ladders and
barricades are

essential safety items
in excavation works.
Ensure their presence

before you enter an
excavation to work.
Confined Spaces
Confined spaces can include cellars, pits, tanks,

drains, manholes, sewers, and even some types
of excavation. Some are more obvious than
others, but confined spaces are more common
on construction sites than we realize.
Main Points:
Consider what may

comprise a confined
Page 50
space on your site!
A risk assessment
should be carried
out for all confined
spaces.
Never ever work

alone in a confined
space.
Confined Spaces
Other Points:
Confined space atmospheres should be checked
prior to entry.
Suitable PPE should be worn which may include
breathing apparatus, and may require specialist
training.
Work in confined spaces must be supervised,
either physically or by communications/monitoring
equipment (remember failure procedures).
Ensure any recovery equipment is checked and
serviceable prior to starting work.
Page 51
Dont attempt a rescue without first sounding the
alarm.
Always leave a confined space immediately if told
to do so.
Dont eat, drink, smoke, or used naked flames in
confined spaces or in close proximity to entry.
Remain alert to any changes in the
situation/environment. If in doubt - get out.

RF Safety
General Procedure for Antenna Stes
Assume all antennas are active, all personnel entering

the site must be authorised and obey all posted signs,
warnings and instructions.
Prior to arrival or before approaching transmitting

antennas, be sure you aware of and understand the
compliance boundaries and the locations of the
antennas.
If there is a need to climb masts/towers or work within 5

metres of a roof top antenna a site safety briefing is
required before starting work.
If it is necessary to work within the compliance boundary,

follow the procedure for requesting the antenna to be
Page 54
powered down.
Never disconnect RF cables or connectors associated

with a operating antenna since this may result in an RF
burn through direct contact with RF conductors.
Damaged cabling and connectors can be unwanted

sources of RF exposure report all such cases.
In addition to RF cabling, some base stations may have

fibre-optic distribution systems. Workers shall follow the
specific rules dealing with optical emissions.
Without further analysis, personnel with active medical

devices should not enter areas above the general public
limits .
Always follow the manufactures installation and

operating instructions.

Remember signs may vary or may not be present.

RF Safety
Types of Antennas
Omni-directional coverage
These antennas radiate RF energy equally in all
directions in the horizontal plane.
The antenna input power is typically 10 80 watts, and

the compliance boundary for a worker typically extends
0.1 1.5 meters from the antenna.
Sector coverage
These antennas restrict most of their radiated RF
energy to a narrow angular sector in their forward
direction (typically 60 to 20 degrees in the horizontal
plane, typically 8 to 4 degrees in the vertical plane).
The antenna input power is typically 10 80 watts, and

the compliance boundary for a worker extends typically
0.2 3 meters from the front face of the antenna .
Antenna farms (or clusters)
Page 56
Antennas are often grouped together on masts .
The combination illustrated here is that of an omni-
directional antenna mounted above a cluster of 3 sector
antennas.
In the case that multiple antennas are present on a site,

whenever an additional antenna is installed, the
compliance boundary of each antenna should be
evaluated again, taking into account the additional
exposure of the newly installed antenna.
Radio relay (Microwave / fixed point-to-point link)

These antennas concentrate their RF energy into a
narrow beam in the forward direction. Since the power
levels are typically low, less than 1 watt, the safety
distances in this forward direction (L) are often small (in
centimetres) and in many cases there is no need of any
safety distance for occupational exposure .
Areas above, below and to the sides of the antenna, as

well as the area behind the antenna, are normally safe
at even shorter distances.
The Compliance Boundary for safe working around antennas is shown in

BLUE - Seek clarification before approaching antenna or working within 5m
