3. HEALTH  AND  SAFETY

• Strictly followed as per the manufacturer’s Health and Safety recommendations for handling and use of the materials.
• Ensure all involved personnel shall be aware of the same.
• Specific safety measures have to follow as applicable, and all the safety measures are covered separately in the project safety plan.

4. OPERATION

• Material:
• Material used will be as approved by the Engineer.
• The sizes and routes routing will be as per the approved Shop Drawings.
• Storage and Protection: 
• Deliver components parts to site, completely identified in accordance with shop and certified CAD Drawings prepared for this work.
• Store in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, above ground, properly protected from the weather and construction activities.

5. INSTALLATION and Fixation

• Pre-Installation:
• All materials and documentation relevant to this particular section of works will be checked and verified ensuring that  these are correct and approved type.
• Prior to the commencement of works, ensure that the areas for permanent installation are ready, accessible and in suitable condition.

• Preparation:
• Engineer in-charge shall check to ensure that the Light Fixtures manufacturing, complies with specification and drawings.
• Engineer shall check to ensure that when installing Light Fixture in Hotel Guest Room, Corridor, Foyer, Front of House (FOH) and Back of House (BOH), architectural finishing work is completed.
• Ensure there is any physical obstruction during the delivery light fixtures.
• Ensure that the Light fixture design/equipment provided all are fully comply with the specification.
• Supplier shall deliver light fixtures unit to site and store it designated place.
• Handle the light fixture unit with care to avoid damage to components, frame and finish.
• When the light fixtures unit is received, unpack it sufficiently to inspect it fo
• concealed damage to determine that the shipment is complete and correct.
• If the light fixtures are to be stored prior to installation, replace the packing for protection during that period. When conditions permit, leave the packing intact until light fixtures unit are at their final installation location.
• Protect the fixtures against the dust and debris during construction period.
• A trolley or pallet may offer a more convenient method of handling the light fixtures to shift from one location to other.

• Installation:
• Site survey of the proposed light fixture is based on approved shopdrawing by foreman / sub-contractor together with Engineer.
• Installation must be carried out based on approved shop drawings & samples by foreman / sub-contractor.
• Most wall and ceiling fixtures–other than recessed fixtures–fit into standard electrical outlet boxes and are usually easy to mount.
• Most fixtures are mounted by a fixture stud or a fixture strap. Occasionally you need an extension nipple or a plain nipple for mounting certain fixtures.
• Any additional mounting devices required for special types of fixtures are usually included in the materials furnished by the manufacturer.
• Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully for a neat installation.

• Installation of Wall Fixtures:
• As a rule, you can install wall fixtures in regular outlet boxes with an ordinary strap and nipple.
• Different types of wall fixtures have different connecting arrangements, but you can usually attach the strap right to the fixture outlet box with screws. Then you can attach the wall fixture to the strap with a nipple and knurled cap.
• If the box has a central stud, you will need only an adapter and a nipple to attach the fixture. An adapter is screwed onto the stud, the nipple is attached to the adapter and the fixture is attached to the nipple
• Wall fixtures are usually quite simple to install. Manufacturers of wall fixtures design different mounting arrangements. The manufacturer will usually include complete installation instructions with the fixture.

• Installation of Ceiling Fixtures:
• Some ceiling outlet boxes have no stud in the center. In such cases, the ceiling fixture is usually installed with a strap that is screwed directly to the threads in the ceiling outlet box. The ceiling fixture is then attached to the strap with screws.
• The mounting arrangement illustrated will support most lightweight ceiling fixtures. Such an installation is simple, fast and meets most wiring codes.
• If the ceiling outlet box has a center fixture stud, mount the fixture by attaching the strap to the center stud with a locknut.
• Once the fixture strap is firmly attached to the fixture stud with the locknut,screw the fixture canopy to the strap with two screws.
• Heavier drop fixtures are often mounted with a hickey. This hickey screws to the center fixture stud.
• Attach a nipple to the lower section of the hickey with a locknut. Then mount the fixture canopy to the nipple with a collar.
• Hickey use in mounting drop fixtures varies according to the design and weight of the ceiling fixture. Almost all heavier drop fixtures require a hickey.

• Technical Assistance:
• The installation supervising technician for the system trade shall instruct the CONSULTANT Engineer, and Construction Site Manager on the programming and correct operation of the system after the installation is completed.
• This instruction shall be scheduled at the convenience of the staff.
• All such instruction shall be properly recorded.
• WIR will be issued for Consultant approval upon making sure that the installation of the system equipment’s done as per approved shopdrawings, approved specs and manufacturer recommendations.
