This document discusses environmental safeguards and defines them as measures taken to protect people or things from harm. It then discusses different types of safeguards like environmental, social, and road safety safeguards. It provides details on the ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement which aims to enhance effectiveness and relevance. The policy commits to avoiding, minimizing, mitigating and compensating for adverse impacts. The document also discusses environmental project categorization, environmental management frameworks, applicable World Bank safeguard policies, the role of project implementation units in ensuring safeguards, and environmental, social, health and safety parameters and compliance.

- 5. SAFEGUARD POLICY STATEMENT (SPS) The Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), approved in July 2009 and became effective in January 2010, to enhance relevance and effectiveness Why Safeguard Policy ADB’s Approach ADB commits to avoid, minimize, mitigate, and compensate for the adverse impacts through well-designed and appropriately-implemented plans/programs on environmental management, resettlement and indigenous peoples Overarching Objectives of the SPS Avoid adverse impacts of projects on the environment and affected people, where possible; Minimize, mitigate, and/or compensate for adverse project impacts on the environment and affected people when avoidance is not possible; and Help borrowers/clients to strengthen their safeguard systems and develop the capacity to manage environmental and social risks.

Need to ensure that all Bank financed projects and programs are environmentally and socially sustainable as well as in line with Bank’s policies and guidelines, involving stakeholder participation and timely public disclosure. Ensure that all possible negative impacts are considered and mitigation measures are spelled out prior to implementation of any proposed project Why Environmental Safeguards required for Projects?

- 8. ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT CATEGORY Proposed projects are screened according to type, location, scale, and sensitivity and the magnitude of their potential environmental impacts, including direct, indirect, induced, and cumulative impacts. Projects are classified into the following four categories: Category A. A proposed project is likely to have significant adverse environmental impacts that are irreversible, diverse, or unprecedented. These impacts may affect an area larger than the sites or facilities subject to physical works. An environmental impact assessment (EIA), including an environmental management plan (EMP), is required. Category B. The proposed project’s potential adverse environmental impacts are site-specific, few if any of them are irreversible, and in most cases mitigation measures can be designed more readily than for category A projects. An initial environmental examination (IEE), including an EMP, is required. Category C. A proposed project is likely to have minimal or no adverse environmental impacts. An EIA or IEE is not required, although environmental implications need to be reviewed.

- 10. WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (EMF) EMF to be used for the Environmental screening and assessment of the Road Project. A screening and review process for identification of sensitive sub-projects with respect to environmental issues shall be carried out by PIUs prior to initiation of the DPR activities. It is a useful tool to identify the environmental and thereby integrate them into the project preparation (DPR stage).
- 11. PURPOSE OF THE EMF To provide as Much Information As Possible About Environmental Impacts at the project’s current stage of preparation. To inform the project planning and design process by comparing the potential impacts of alternative locations, configurations, and construction techniques that are under consideration. To describe the procedures for subsequent assessment of impacts and development of the appropriate impact management instruments when the details of the project become available.

- 13. WORLD BANK SAFEGUARD POLICIES Safeguard policies are designed to help ensure that programs proposed for financing are environmentally and socially sustainable, and thus improve decision-making. The Bank’s Operational Policies (OP) are meant to ensure that operations of the Bank do Not lead to adverse impacts or cause any harm. The Safeguard Policies are lumped into Environment, Rural Development, Social Development and International Law. These operational policies include: 1) OP/BP 4.01: Environmental Assessment 2) OP/BP 4.04: Natural Habitats 3) OD 4.20: Indigenous Peoples 4) OP 11.03: Cultural Property

Social Policies • OP 4.11 Physical Cultural Resources • OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement • OP 4.10 Indigenous Peoples Environmental Policies • OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment • OP 4.04 Natural Habitats • OP 4.36 Forests The statutory compliance of the Country Regulations by and large fulfill the requirement of Environmental Safeguards of World Bank.

Environmen tal Assessment OP 4.01 Project is likely to have impacts on environmental and social components such as on water bodies, existing slopes in case of hilly areas and trees along the road Preparation and application of Environmental Codes of Practice for addressing Environmental issues. 2. Natural Habitats OP 4.04 Some sub-projects (about 1 percent) are likely to be in/close to sensitive natural habitats Avoidance measures, including non- inclusion of such sub-projects in the Project. 3. Forest OP 4.36 Some sub-projects are likely to be in/close to forest areas and may need forest land diversion, particularly in the hill states Preparation of a management plan to address impacts, if any and avoidance/minimization of construction and allied Activities in forest areas. 4. Cultural Properties OP4.11 The project entail risk/damage to cultural properties and has likelihood of chance-finds. Provisions made for relocation of cultural properties and protection of the same through design modifications and other Measures.
- 16. ROLE OF PIU FOR SAFEGUARD To assure DPR should have IEE checklist To assure the IEE findings are reflects in the DPR technical part as environmental management cost. Put effort to avoid tree cutting and focus on tree plantation. Ensure the Labours are using PPEs while they work at site like Helmet, jackets, boots Gloves etc.
- 17. PPE is a equipment that will protect the user against health or safety risks at work. It can include items such as safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing and Mask safety footwear and safety harnesses. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) OHS is the safety equipments which is very essential according to your Occupation and preventing health hazards.
- 18. If safety is the only thing, then all of us can wear the same color of a hard hat while working. The reasons for different color codes are To identify a person and his responsibility To avoid any accidents It protects the impact from falling objects. It protects the penetration of any dangerous objects at a workplace. (rods, bricks etc.)

It follows the rules of ECoPs and other state prevailing environmental laws. The EMaPs covers the short term and long term effects of the project and how it will affect our environment as well as how we can manage with taken effective measures.
- 39. COMMON DPR SAFEGUARD COMMENTS For safeguard (Social and Environment) the experts are not giving their efficient input. Social safeguard and Environment safeguard file not attached and if attached they are not filled in proper manner. Many format attachments are missing. Tree list, utilities and community structure list not properly recorded. Tree cutting list information not given and what will be the plantation scheme proposed. CPF file have not signed by the PIU and Sarpanch wherever is required. CPF not given questionnaire according answer/response but its filled very casually like below Question: Are community giving any suggestion? Answer: Yes, the suggestion given by the community is incorporated (but not mentions the type of suggestion they gave). Transect walk findings not gave detail information as required. Community consultation photographs not attached. Consultant used villagers services for their own work like holding chainage slate
- 40. Their environmental and social experts not had gone through the safeguard report not even field. No APs and VAPs found in earthen road is also a big question of transect walk survey. Women participation ratio is very less or negligible in DPR transect walk. Many data are not matched with the actual site condition as attached photographs. Sequences of the pages are missing. Papers are attached in any where find space. Photo plate’s captions are the same repetitive manner instead of particular. Very low participation of the community. CPF Report is made technically sound instead of socially sound.
