The Law and regulations of Viet Nam - Law on Environment Protection (LEP), 11/29/ The Protocol 80/2006/ND-CP, (1 1/29/2006) guiding the implementation of the Law on Protection of the environment. - Circular No 490 "Guide to the establishment and evaluation reports assessing the impact the environment for investment projects" - The Protocol 106/2005/ND-CP on protect the high voltage grid. - The Protocol 24/2000/ND-CP, regulations on the implementation of the Law on Foreign Investment in Viet Nam, (Article 82 - relating to the protection of the environment). - The Protocol 52/1999/ND-CP on the review of environmental management in construction. - The Protocol 121/2004/ND-CP regulating the administrative fines for violating the Law on environmental protection. - Standards of Viet Nam (ISO), these are the national standards by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) applied to government agencies. These standards include: the manufacturing, construction, standards in science and the environment. The environmental standards include the IS0 limit to allow the parameters of air, noise and water quality. - Standards 11 BC for the minimum distance between the materials have electricity and trees The policies of the World Bank (WB) - OP 4:O 1 Environment appraisement - The OP 4:04 Natural habitats - OP 4: 1 1 Cultural Assets - BP 17:50 Information Public Detailed instructions on the methods of assessment and the general impact related to the transmission project can be found in the texts: * The World Bank, Reference material on environment assessment - Volume 3 * IFC, Guidance on Environment, Health and Safety for Rural Energy I1 Project. 4. Overview of environmental impact: 4.1. Classification of impacts: The impacts of the before construction period, the period of construction and operation period can have been assessed belonging to one of the types of impacts following: Not impact. Potential impact of activities of project is rated not to have an impact if the activities of the project is completely separated from the environmental factors on space or time. Large Impact. One impact is considered if the project activity has the potential to affect an environmental factor. The large impact can be " negative big impact " or " positive big impact ". The following criteria used to determine a certain impact has been seen as not Large: a. Space scale of the impact ( scene, local, regional, country, international); b. Limits on the time of impact (short-term, medium term or long term); c. Change scale of environmental factors by the activities of the project could cause (small, medium, large); d. The im~ortance for local ~ eo~le:

21 e. The level of compliance with laws, standards and regulations on protecting the environment of the nation, province, district; f. Compliance with the international commitment of Viet Nam. The commitments include: "the Convention on the slime which has the international importance, especially the habitats of waterbirds " ( RAMSAR ), "the Convention on the protection of cultural heritage and natural heritage of the World "(also known as the Convention World Heritage) and" Convention on international trade for animals and plants are at risk of extinction "(CITES); g. Compliance with the instructions, policies and regulations of the World Bank Small impact. An impact does not meet the standards of the Large impact, that is classified as small impact. The small impact can be " negative small impact " or" positive small impact". Impact can minimize. Potential impact of a work project for an environmental factor is seen as it can minimize if mitigation measures are proposed to prevent or reduce the impact down to the acceptable level Determining the potential impact of the project The objective of the project is to provide electricity for 26 communes in Binh Dinh province. The implementation of the project will create many new opportunities for employment, quality of life of local people will improve, distance of the rich poor people will be shortened, will create good conditions for economy development. In addition to the very meaningful beneficial impact, the project may create detrimental impacts on the environment and the social - economic of locals. Use the "List of inspection data environment" (Environmental Data Screening Checklist) and "List of inspection standards on the environment" (Environmental Baseline Checldist) as the instructions in "regulation framework for the application of the environment regulations for Rural Energy Project I1 ", the potential impact of the project is described in Table 4.1 Table 4.1.

73 Appendix Some specific regulations on Ensuring the health and safety in electricity Electric Line - measures to prevent and control: - Only allow the workers who have been trained fully implement the installation, maintenance or repair of electrical equipment; - Cutting off electricity fully before implementing the work - Ensuring that only those workers who have been trained operate on the electric line and must comply with strict regulations on safety and electricity. The qualified and trained workers working in the distribution systems, transmission of electricity will also need to ensure that: isolating of the power to other parts of the electricity system Determining the voltage of the electric part. Knowing the safe distance which can reach to the level of specific voltage. Using right equipment to ensure safety when working in or near the electricity area. - Workers, including those who have been trained, aren't accessed to electricity region unless: Workers have been completely insulated with gloves and other approved tools Regional power was isolated workers and all other conductor, or, Workers are insulated all conducted materials. - In case of operation or maintenance require working at the minimum distance, safety measures, safety equipment to ensure personal safety and other preventive measures must be identify and apply to the health and safety ensurement plan. The safe minimum distance recommended are: o 2-15 kv: 0.6 m o kV: 0.71 m o kv: 1:Ol m - The workers do not work directly in the regional transmission 1 distribution of electricity, but work in the area near the lines or stations must comply with strict regulations, standards, guidelines about minimum distance to be able to dig the earth or to heap up, use equipment, motorcycles.. and other activities; - The minimum safety distance can only be reduced when the remaining distance is greater than the distance between the electric part and the ground. Work on the tower and on the high Workers may face the risk when working on the high during the construction, operation and maintenance of system parts. Here are some measures to minimize risk when working on high: - Check the durableness of structures before working - Implementing all measures to avoid risk from falling, including climbing poles technic, using the safety belt, testing, maintenance and replacement of protection equipment,... - Installation of a fixed part of the tower to support equipment for the system to falling prevention; - Provide suitable equipment for workers. Equipment must be compatible with other parts of the tower that they are working; - Crane, tractors must have a reasonable speed, and the periodic maintenance. - Latitude of safety belt is not less than 16 mm and make safe. The rope safety belt must be replaced before they have the signs of aging or sclerosis;

74

75 - It is necessary a second safety net to protect workers on high - The signs and the barrier must be removed from the column before working; - It is needed to use the tool bag with to move up or down tools for workers. Electric field and Magnetic field (E-MF) Workers exposed electricity to power more and more from the others by the work environment often near lines. Meeting E-MF by occupation must be prevented or limited through the development and implementation of a safety progr~ including the following: - Determining the level of exposure in the workplace by surveying the level of exposure in the new and the use of personal monitors in the implementation of the work; - Training workers to determine the level of E-MF in the workplace and influence; - Establish and define the area safe to distinguish the area and work areas E-MF high, allowing only those who have been training full access to this area; - Equipment monitoring individuals should be installed warning of the meeting below the reference to the occupation (ex 50%). Action Plan in order to limit exposure by occupation may include limiting the time exposed by tentacle return, to increase the distance between power and workers as possible and use the foot guards. Exposed to chemicals Jobs that require contact with the chemicals, which can include PCBs in transformer and old electrical equipment. Workers at the repairing factory or in some other parts of the system can also contact with the PCBs or PCBs polluted equipment. View some instructions in 4.2.
