Health & Safety Policy

SECTION 1: POLICY, LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT

HSE Policy

HSE policy statement

EXELON is committed to safeguarding the health, safety and welfare of its employees as well as the people and property affected by its operations. To reduce risk of accident or injury the company seeks to provide a work environment that, as far as is reasonably practicable, is safe and preserves the health and welfare of those that work within it and those that are affected by its activities.

The company is committed to continuously improve its standard of health and safety throughout its operations. To this end the board provides leadership in health and safety matters by engaging and training the workforce in the achievement of safe and healthy working conditions and promoting best practice as far as is practicable. The board is committed to providing adequate resources to train, monitor and assess the company’s health and safety performance and deliver the objectives set for continuous improvement.

The requirements of this policy are communicated to all employees through the company’s heads of department and the management of health and safety is promoted through consultation and involvement. The health and safety policy is displayed at all company sites and offices and issued to all new staff joining the company at induction.

It is the duty of managers to prevent injury and ill health as far as is practicable and it is the duty of each employee to exercise personal responsibility for their own health, safety and welfare as well as that of other people. Compliance with legal requirements should be adhered to at all times and no breaches should be tolerated.

This policy will be reviewed periodically and amended as necessary to ensure that it remains relevant to the activities of the company and complies with current legislation and best practice

Razeem Ibrahim

Managing Director

H & S policy shall be signed by the most senior person in an organization such as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.
Company CEO/MD Name : Razeem Ibrahim

Designation: Managing Director

Experience: Attached CV

Circumstance that policy has been reviewed :

Technical changes e.g. introduction of new plants and process.
Organization Changes e.g. changes any key personal such as MD & CEO, or change of management structure
Legal change such as new legislation applicable to the organization.
Changes in building workplace etc.
If requested by third company and insurance company or client
If following of government enforcement action.
After the passage of time like annual review
After Major accident/incident.
To authorize the policy that demonstrate commitment coming from most person the higher level of organization will follow. It indicate that CEO and MD is ultimate responsible and accountable for health and safety throughout an organization.
A) GENERAL STATEMENT OF INTENT: This spells out the organization’s overall approach to health and safety management, and its aims in terms of performance. It must commit the organization to achieving legal compliance, and in many cases the commitment will be to achieving a higher standard than that set by the law, either as a matter of corporate policy or because of the nature of the organization. The Statement will also usually contain goals and objectives for the organization.

The Statement of Intent should recognize that managers and workers at all levels within the organization have a part to play in implementing policy, and it will therefore state very clearly that every person must comply with the policy and that serious breaches of policy may be treated as disciplinary offenses.

B) Responsibility for ensuring that the workplace is safe and free of health risk rests with the employer. Directors and senior managers give an organization its direction and set its priorities. They decide what the organization does and how it does it. In effect they control the corporate body. They are, therefore, responsible for ensuring that all of the legal requirements that rest with the employer are met.

Middle managers and supervisors are involved in the day-to-day operational running of the organization so are responsible for the health and safety standards within the operations under their control. Their operational areas of responsibility are normally defined in the Organization section of the policy and illustrated by the organization chart.

C) Positive culture: In an organization with a positive safety culture, the majority of the workers think and feel that health and safety is important. There is a strong policy and clear leadership from the top because senior management have this attitude, which runs through the whole organization, from top to bottom. Managers think about the health and safety implications of their decisions and workers share the same view and work safely.

Establishing and implementing a good standard H&S policy.
Securing the management of commitment and ensure that manager lead by the example;
Recruiting competent staff that have the appropriate training, knowledge, experience and other necessary skill to do their jobs safely.
Use effective communication skill to deliver safety information to all the employees through notice board, poster, email memos and handbook.
Provide effective supervision and training.
Providing a pleasant working environment with good welfare facilities.
Procedure and standard for all aspects of critical work and mechanism for reviewing.
Incident investigation and effective use of information drawn from such investigation.
Adequate and effective supervision with authority to remedy deficiencies when found.

SECTION 2: HAZARD AND RISK MANAGEMENT

2.1 Various method that can be used by the sub-contractor to identify the hazard are:

Safety Inspection
Task analysis
Legislation
Manufacture information
Accident/ Incident data
HAZOP/HAZID
Safety Audit

The standard hierarchy that should be applied with the respect to control Hazard and Risk in the workplace:

Elimination
Substitution
Engineering control
Administrative control
Personal protective control

2.1 B) The aim of risk assessment is to ensure that hazards are eliminated, or risks minimized by the correct application of relevant standards. Risk assessment can be described as a five-step process:

Identify the hazards. (Mechanical hazard, Electrical, thermal, noise, vibration, radiation hazard.)
Identify the people who might be harmed and how. (Worker, cleaner, visitor, public, controller.)
Evaluate the risk and decide on precautions. (Likelihood*consequence)
Record the significant findings and implement them.(timescale, allocation of responsibilities)
Review and update as necessary.

RISK ASSESSMENT & Method Statement:

Risk assessments or Job Safety Analysis shall be conducted for all site activities on the site. They project HSE construction Risk Assessment and an Environmental Impact Assessment are continuously updated and validated and disseminated. Both assessments cover the global issues having potentially a substantial impact on the normal execution of the project.

In addition, EXELON shall prepare a generic risk assessment prior to starting any site mobilization to identify the necessary control measures to be implemented to protect their own personnel. Thereafter any activity shall be risk assessed specifically in order to define any further required control measures to ensure HSE conditions are fully maintained.

Simple Five Steps to develop risk assessment:

Step 1 – Identify hazards (something with the potential to harm someone or something)
Step 2 – To decide who is going to be harmed and how
Step 3 –The risk is evaluated (using Likelihood & Severity/Consequence scale 1-5 for each are multiplied together to obtain risk rating)
Step 4 – Control measures are introduced to prevent harm occurring, findings are recorded and communicated to all employees
Step 5 – Risk assessment is reviewed as needed i.e. environment changes, work method change

PROPOSED RISK MATRIX

Significance			Severity(S)
Significance			No injury	Minor injury	LT injury	Major injury	Fatality
		Ranking	1	2	3	4	5
Likelihood(L)	Almost certain	5	5	10	15	20	25
	Very likely	4	4	8	12	16	20
	Likely	3	3	6	9	12	15
	Unlikely	2	2	4	6	8	10

Risk Rating (R/R) Likelihood (L) Severity / Consequence (S)

1 = Very low or very 1 = No injury or illness

Unlikely 2 = Minor / First Aid injury or illness

2= Unlikely 3 = “3 Day” injury or illness

3 = Likely 4 = Major injury or illness

4 = Very Likely 5 = Fatality, disabling injury etc.

Risk Rating Action Scale

01 = 05 Low Risk No further action required

06 = 10 Medium Risk Review method

11 = 20 High Risk Permit system / review method

21 = 25 Intolerable Risk Withdrawal of process / do not proceed

Risk Assessment:

On the basis of the above matrix, risk assessment, is done for generic tasks at EXELON project/site. The details are listed in given below.

High risk areas

The following locations/tasks are considered as high risk areas during construction stage in this site as applicable for present as well as future –

DETAILS OF HIGH RISK LOCATIONS
Location	Type of Hazard	Risk due to
crane operation	Fall from height	Height working
	Falling objects	Release of energy
Station transformers	Electrical	High voltage
Diesel Generators	Fire	Combustibles
Lift openings/stair cases	Fall from height	Falling into another level

Risk assessment & PPE requirements

All EXELON personnel engaged in construction work shall be provided with appropriate PPEs depending on the residual risks to which they are exposed to. The procurement PPEs are done to comply with best of standards. Strict control is exercised in the issue, use & maintenance of PPEs by individuals. It is the policy of the EXELON to remove the persons from site who violate PPE rules

EXELON visitors visiting site shall also be provided Orientation and appropriate PPEs.

Flammable Fluids

Flammable fluids are those that can produce a flammable mixture in air at ambient temperature. In this manual a flammable fluid is defined a fluid (liquid or gas) having a prime importance.

Storage

In storage, all flammable liquids must be kept in securely capped cans or steel drums on which the contents are clearly marked. Gasoline, acetone, spirits, and other volatile liquids with flash points below 32º C (90º F) should be kept in robust metal lockers, in well ventilated non-combustible huts, or in the open. Stores for these liquids must be securely locked or fenced, and be situated at least 6 meters (20 feet) away from other buildings or storage areas. No other material should be stored with flammable liquids. Flammable gases in cylinders (acetylene, propane, etc.) shall be segregated from other materials, preferably in an open, well-ventilated sun shade. Oxidizing gases (oxygen, chlorine, nitrous, oxide, etc.) shall be stored separately.

Handling of Flammable Liquids

In handling, the following precautions should be observed:

Transportation must always be in closed containers.
Transfer operations should be carried out with funnels and there should be no naked flame within 6 meters (20 feet) of the operation.
Screw tops and stoppers should be replaced immediately.

2.1 D) Introduction and Overview: Information security risk assessment is an on-going process of discovering, correcting and preventing security problems. The risk assessment is an integral part of a risk management process designed to provide appropriate levels of security for information systems. Information security risk assessments are part of sound security practices and are required by the Commonwealth Enterprise Information Security Policy. Risk assessments and related documentation are also an integral part of compliance with security standards. This risk assessment methodology is based on the CMS Information Security RA Methodology:

System Documentation Phase
Risk Determination Phase
Safeguard Determination Phase

2.2 A) A hazard control program consists of all steps necessary to protect workers from exposure to a substance or system, the training and the procedures required to monitor worker exposure and their health to hazards such as chemicals, materials or substance, or other types of hazards such as noise and vibration. A written workplace hazard control program should outline which methods are being used to control the exposure and how these controls will be monitored for effectiveness.

It often involves doing a risk assessment to evaluate and prioritize the hazards and risks. In addition, both “normal” and any potential or unusual situations must be studied. Each program should be specially designed to suit the needs of the individual workplace. Hence, no two programs will be exactly alike.

Choosing a control method may involve:

Evaluating and selecting temporary and permanent controls.
Implementing temporary measures until permanent (engineering) controls can be put in place.
Implementing permanent controls when reasonably practicable.

For example, in the case of a noise hazard, temporary measures might require workers to use hearing protection. Long term, permanent controls might use engineering methods to remove or isolate the noise source.

2.3 A) Risk assessment Process

Additional Information;

Hazard Assessment: The project Manager must ensure that hazard assessments are conducted to evaluate the risks to health of all personnel who might be exposed to the hazardous substance.

Following each assessment, decisions can be taken on the actions required to reduce the exposure to the risk.

Where an assessment identifies potential for damage to health, appropriate hazard control and risk reduction measures shall be implemented.

Control: The preferred order in which steps should be taken to control hazardous substances is given in the following Hierarchy of Control table. In some cases several control measures may be needed.

HIERARCHY OF CONTROL

1 SUBSTITUTION with a safer alternative substance or process – ie remove the hazard

2 ISOLATE OR SUPPRESS THE SOURCE prevent exposure – totally – or suppress the source – eg suppress the formation of dust, fumes, vapors or gases.

3 LOCAL VENTILATION to remove hazardous substance at source – take care as to where it goes!

4 GENERAL VENTILATION adequate circulation of fresh air

5 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING correct storage and a clean and tidy workplace to minimize risk and provide good identification and segregation – avoid spillage etc.

6 LIMIT EXPOSURE control the time of exposure or the number of persons exposed – decant large quantities into small quantities for use etc.

7 TRAINING In the safe use of the substance

8 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT Provide appropriate PPE

9 GOOD WELFARE FACILITIES to maintain good standards of personal hygiene – eyebaths – showers etc

10 HEALTH SURVEILLANCE monitor employees for signs of ill health and the environmental issues for signs of pollution

Storage & Segregation of Hazardous Substance

Storage and segregation of hazardous substances shall be in accordance with the recommendations on the MSDS’s.
All hazardous substances will stored in a secure area, away from the risk of fire and adequately controlled.

Protection of our employees is in priority. The protection of project and client assets is also a high priority, but the safety of people will always be placed ahead of all other considerations. With proper planning and quick response by the responsible individuals, this protection will be achieved.

Training

All employees including division personnel will be briefed on the emergency reporting response procedures during the new employee orientation and at frequent “Tool Box” HSE meetings. Emergency procedures and telephone numbers will be posted at key locations throughout the jobsite.

Emergency evacuation plans must be developed for all work areas, subcontractors, and office areas and shall identify those competent persons trained in emergency procedures. As directed by the Project Manager, the HSE manager shall schedule announced/unannounced drills, in order to ascertain the effectiveness of the training being provided.

Preparation

Will institute a daily log listing all management personnel on the site as well as all subcontractor companies having employees at the site, This will enable Project Management to know instantly who is present or which companies are represented at any time. In case of emergency, this is critical for accountability and communication. In addition, the project should institute a log-in/log-out procedure for members of the management team who leave the site during work hours. This should include time of exit, with which he left (including the name of the driver), destination and phone number, and estimated time of arrival. For off-site meetings and appointments, the destination should be alerted before the individual(s) leave the site so that communication can be made should the team member not arrive in a timely manner. Similar arrangements should be followed for scheduled management visitors coming to the site.

All deliveries onto the site should be made through the delivery gate. The delivery man should identify himself, his company or the sender of the material, and the nature of the delivery. A log should be maintained of all deliveries. When possible, the security officers at the delivery gate should be given a daily list of expected deliveries. Under no circumstances should the delivery gate guards allow any suspicious vehicles to enter the site. The Security Officer should contact someone on the Project Management team or the HSE Manager if there is any doubt of the legitimacy of the deliveries. No unauthorized deliveries should be allowed without first verifying the material to be delivered and the originating supplier.

The most serious potential natural disaster would likely be a monsoon or heavy rains (flooding). Project Management, through the HSE Manager, should liaison with local law enforcement or emergency officials. Arrangements should be made to have officials call the Project Management team or the HSE Manager, should a weather emergency seem eminent. Once sufficient construction has been completed, the site may be the safest place to wait out a storm. At the beginning of monsoon season, Project Management should store a two/three day supply of food, bottled water, flashlights, and batteries for such emergencies. And the project will establish Emergency Responsible Team for all emergencies.

Emergency Procedures

Fire

Evacuate the area. Call or radio for help. Do not attempt to extinguish fire without stopping the fuel source. If possible do so without greatly exposing personnel to injury. Use available fire extinguisher or fire equipment to extinguish fires in enclosures.

Inhalation

Move to fresh air immediately any worker suffering from headache, dizziness unconsciousness or other symptoms of oxygen deficiency. Call or radio for emergency assistance immediately. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. In any event, do not hesitate or delay emergency treatment.

Alarm Activation

Any individual observing a fire, gas release, spill, leak, medical emergency or any unusual hazardous condition must immediately notify their immediate supervisor.

The following information must be given:

What? (Describe the emergency)

Where? (Exact location, I e. building number, grid location, etc.)

Name of person calling

Any other pertinent information

Emergency Evacuation Plan

All employees including Subcontractor’s personnel must report all fires. Report the fire by contacting their immediate supervisor directly, giving the location of the emergency, type of emergency and the caller’s name. Personnel will immediately evacuate the emergency area in accordance with the following requirements;

All personnel will shut down any spark emitting equipment and evacuate, on foot or bicycle, to the closest Emergency muster point, unless you must pass near the emergency. In that event move cross wind to an alternate remote assembly area.
If the vehicles can’t be safely removed they should be parked on the side of the road, turn off the engine, leave keys in the vehicle, and walk to the closest Emergency meeting point.
Once arriving at a Emergency muster point, all personnel including contractor personnel should check in with the assembly area coordinator as soon as possible and report their name, company and their supervisor’s name.
Everyone must remain at the Emergency muster point until additional instructions are received. Instructions will be given orally.

Miscellaneous

In the event of a serious accident, notify the HSE department at site and TRSA. The safety of the employees is the first priority, so chemical spills or other environmental accidents may require partial or full evacuation. If this is necessary, all employees should gather at an appointed area for accountability. Local authorities should be notified should the accident endanger the public.

FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION

EXELON is responsible 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for fire protection in its work and operational areas, including offices, tool rooms, and storage areas.

The emergency response plan shall cover fire emergency situations and define the emergency response team assigned to manage fire events and other emergency situations.

8.2 REPORTING OF ACCIDENTS / INCIDENTS

EXELON will ensure that their employees report all injuries immediately to CONTRACTOR medical Centre.
EXELON personnel will comply fully with the Reporting of Accidents and Incidents procedures.
Details of all accidents/incidents will be given to CONTRACTOR and SINOPEC’s HSE Officer will conduct an investigation and notify CONTRACTOR of his findings. CONTRACTOR will, where applicable, inform the country authorities.

INJURY AND DAMAGE REPORTING

General

At the end of each month, a summary of all injuries and damages to property worth more than Saudi Riyals 10,000 shall be noted and a report submitted to the proponent, any tendency towards particular kind of accident, affecting one or more trades will soon become apparent and steps can be taken to find out the cause and necessary corrective action can be taken to prevent recurrences. This information combined with the accident frequency rate can be used as a guide for EXELON safety priorities and indicate the effective ness of accident prevention program.

Verbal Report

EXELON will ensure that an Immediate Verbal notification shall be made to Saudi Aramco with 2 hours.

All near miss incident shall be reported.
Damage over SR 10,000 to EXELON property /equipment.
Damage, in any amount, to Saudi Aramco’s equipment or property.
All fires and explosions.
Damage to cranes and heavy equipment.
Job-related Fatalities.
All Injuries requiring medical attention which results in lost time.
Verbal notification shall be made within 2 hrs.

Initial/Preliminary Report

A Preliminary Report shall be made as soon as possible, but not later than twenty-four (24) hours, for accidents involving fatality / serious injury to two or more EXELON employees or damage to Saudi Aramco equipment or property, on approved format.
All reports shall contain identified immediate action taken to prevent recurrence. Completed preliminary report shall be submitted to the Saudi Aramco representative.
Preliminary report shall be submitted to contractor within 2 hours. Notification shall be within 24 hours and full reports (depending on the actual / potential) severity shall be within 3 days.

Accident Investigation

Accident investigations must be conducted in a manner which will provide facts rather than faults. The point of such investigations is to prevent recurrence of similar accidents.

The main purposes of accident investigation are:

To find the causes so that similar accident may be prevented.
To determine the point at which “unplanned” events took over from the “planned” sequence of events.
To recommend corrective action to be taken.

Supervisor/Foreman: The supervisor or foreman should carry out an immediate investigation of every accident which occurs within his area or responsibility. He should complete an accident report within twenty-four hours and submit it to his supervisor with a copy to the Safety Department. An additional copy should be retained in his own file.

EXELON HSE Manager, within two working days after receipt of supervisor/foreman accident report, should verify the findings of the foreman and carry out an independent investigation of every serious or potentially serious occurrence as required in Schedule “D”.

Project Manager: The project manager or superintendent should review all accident reports to ensure that the corrective action has been taken and to observe any trends that may require action on his part.

Cases to Be Investigated

All incidents that result in property damage or serious injuries to personnel must be fully investigated. Unless the real cause is known, the hazard cannot be controlled in future. The near-miss accident, which does not necessarily proceed to an injury, is equally important from the point of view of prevention and should also, be thoroughly investigated.

Principles of Accident Investigation

The scene of a serious accident should be left undisturbed until the HSE supervisors, Saudi Aramco/Contractor and EXELON have the opportunity to inspect and investigate. The investigation should include, but not be limited to the following:

Questioning the man in charge and finding out what was planned.
Finding out the injured man’s job or the normal position and function of damaged equipment or equipment’s.
Questioning the injured man as soon as possible.
Questioning the witnesses as to what then actually saw, not what they think happened.
Studying the environment and examining the equipment and plant for signs of misuse.
Finding the explanation for any irregularities.
From the information obtain, establishing the reason why the “unplanned” took over from the “planned”.
Recommending methods of implementing corrective action.
