1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the HSE Plan is to identify hazards associated with work activities and to define safe work
procedures and controls to enable the work to be done safely during all phases of the project.

The Plan and the associated Management System ensures that the project HSE objectives are met by
referencing policies and procedures when organizing resources and planning activities, thus ensuring that
HSE issues are comprehensively addressed throughout the duration of the project. Compliance with
requirements will be periodically verified through audits, inspections and a process of continual improvement.

2. OBJECTIVES
2.1. Objectives

The project objective is to strictly enforce Dr. Concrete’s HSE Policy and HSE Management System
throughout the Project phases, DR. CONCRETE will demonstrate HSE leadership, visible commitment and
will provide resources to foster a culture that embraces and accepts nothing but optimal HSE behavior.

DR. CONCRETE HSE Policies will be implemented site wide and all project personnel as well as Visitors and
Vendors, will be required to comply with it at all times. The following policies form DR. CONCRETE’S HSE
Management System:

• HSE Policy;
• Environmental Policy;
• Driving Policy;
• 9 Life-Saving Rules;
• 7 Golden Rules for Safe Driving.
Those policies shall be communicated to all during site HSE orientation training and made available to all at
the commencement of and throughout the project.

2.2. HSE Goal and Targets

The primary HSE objective for the Project is based upon a ‘Zero Incident Policy’; to achieve a target of zero
fatalities and zero lost time injuries, and to minimise any impact on the natural environment.

Project management and supervisory personnel will, as part of their day-to-day activities, put HSE first in all
matters and strive to achieve an incident and injury free workplace.

Project Managements expectation is that no person will undertake work that is not safe. All personnel,
including visitors, will be reminded of this expectation (i.e., if something is not safe, it is necessary to make it
safe before proceeding).

Although the project goal is to have no injuries, every project participant must do their utmost to reach this
goal, the following are the maximum injury incident rate targets for the project.

 Fatality Occurrence 0

 Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) < 0.02

 Total Recordable Injuries Rate (TRIR) < 0.15


Frequency rates are to be based on OSHA. Also refer to Section 13.1, Figure 3 for expanded KPIs.

2.3. HSE Policy

DR. CONCRETE's project management is committed to providing a safe, healthy and secure place of work
throughout all facilities, offices and work sites and to making every effort towards eliminating or minimizing
any environmentally adverse effects of operations.

Thus, DR. CONCRETE will, in all its operations and at all locations where work is being carried out under its
control, promote the highest standards in health, safety, and environmental preservation and protection by
establishing, implementing and maintaining an HSE Management System that will include such elements as
targets and standards for HSE performance, HSE education programs, motivational incentives and
assessments and accountability for achievement of those targets and standards.

To meet this commitment, DR. CONCRETE in carrying out its operations, will in all cases, abide by the
following principles:

• Provide plant that meets the highest standards for safety and operation and places the minimum
burden on the environment;
• Place the highest priority on the health and safety of personnel and on the preservation and protection
of the environment;
• Plan and perform work in accordance with the HSE Management System;
• Hold employees responsible for their own and colleagues HSE;
• Ensure that personnel are trained in HSE;
• Review, monitor and measure HSE performance for continual improvement;
• Provide full cooperation to Client s, statutory authorities and local communities.
This is aligned with Dr. Concrete’s HSE Policy, and it shall be signed, dated, and posted at all locations under
control. All those engaged in work for DR. CONCRETE or present at those locations shall be aware of its
contents and shall commit themselves to its fullest implementation.

2.4. 9 Life-Saving Rules

In addition to the above HSE Policy, DR. CONCRETE will implement 9 Life-Saving Rules, which are related
to the following:

1. Obtain authorization before overriding or disabling safety controls;


2. Obtain authorization before entering a confined space;
3. Follow safe driving rules;
4. Verify isolation and zero energy before work begins;
5. Control flammables and ignition sources;
6. Keep yourself and others out of the line of fire;
7. Plan lifting operations and control the area;
8. Work with a valid permit when required;
9. Protect yourself against a fall when working at height;
100% compliance with the 9 Life-Saving Rules is mandatory and strict disciplinary actions will be imposed on
all personnel violating these rules.

ALARP ALARP stands for "as low as reasonably practicable", and is a term often
used in the regulation and management of safety-critical and safety-involved
systems. The ALARP principle is that the residual risk shall be reduced as
low as reasonably practicable.

The key question in determining whether a risk is ALARP is the definition of


reasonably practicable. This term originated from the UK legislation. The
ruling was that the risk must be significant in relation to the sacrifice (in terms

of money, time or trouble) required to avert it: risks must be averted unless
there is a gross disproportion between the costs and benefits of doing so.
Previously developed land, with the intention to re-develop, re-use or
Brownfield expand, and which may be complicated by the presence of hazardous
substances, pollutants or contaminants.
Exposure Monitoring Periodic exposure monitoring is an evaluation method used to track the
exposure to significant health hazards in the workplace. Exposure monitoring
is conducted in the workplace to determine whether a worker is exposed to
average exposure levels that exceed safe limits.
A new Project development requiring new facilities and where no previous
Greenfield
infrastructure exists.
Health Surveillance Health surveillance is a system of ongoing health checks to detect ill-health at
an early stage, and to prevent the progression of ill-health. These health
checks may be required by law for employees who are exposed to noise or
vibration, ionizing radiation, solvents, fumes, dusts, biological agents and
other substances hazardous to health, or work in compressed air.
Industrial Hygiene Industrial hygiene is the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and
controlling workplace conditions that may cause workers' injury or illness.
Industrial hygienists use environmental monitoring and analytical methods to
detect the extent of worker exposure and employ engineering, work practice
controls, and other methods to control potential health hazards.
Noise Reduction The NRR is a method which attempts to describe a hearing protector based
Rating (NRR) on how much the overall noise level is reduced by the hearing protector. The
NRR provides an estimate of the protection of a given device. The reasons
for rating each hearing protector involve OSHA and EPA (US) requirements
for product safety and reliability. The rating enables the end user to assess
the product’s attenuation abilities for noise in their own given work
environment.
Occupational Illness A condition that results from exposure in a workplace to a physical, chemical
or biological agent to the extent that the normal physiological mechanisms
are affected, and the health of the worker is impaired.
Public Health Public health is concerned with protecting and improving the health of
communities nearby the project site, through promotion of a healthy
environment, particularly the environment in the vicinity of the project site,
which can potentially be negatively affected by the various project activities.
Reasonably A likelihood of something that a reasonable person should be able to
Foreseeable anticipate in a given set of circumstances.
Start-up is the point in a project where process fluids and conditions are
Start-up
Established with the intent of making products.

specific issues. Other relevant meetings deemed necessary to effectively interface with project organizations
shall be planned and scheduled accordingly.

6.2. Worker Consultation Programs

Workers shall be involved in the decision-making process, where suitable and desired, with regards to the
establishment of a safe workplace. To ensure that workers are consulted in HSE related matters, HSE
programs such as the Job Safety Observation (JSO) and Intervention Program (SP000-16540-0067), HSE
Suggestion Program, and Stop Work Notification Policy shall be implemented at site, developed through an
Incident & Injury Free (IIF) culture and program activities. Details of such programs shall be specified at
project level.

6.3. Public Relations & Media Presence

Public relations have a wide scope, not limited to, liaising with authorities such as Local
Governments/Authorities, communicating with external stakeholders, press/media, communicating and
liaising with Vendors, Suppliers, Service Providers, Medical Services or similar external parties.

Although focus is given on progress and business success, public perception is just as important to the
Project. Communications are one way to shape and define the project’s image to the community. External
communications such as newsletters, media stories and press releases let the public know about the
Project, humanitarian and environmental efforts, and other image-related activities, all of which serve to
strengthen the public relations efforts of the project. All project external communication must be channeled
through Client for approval.

• Heating or cooling (depending on the local climate and environment).
Welfare facilities shall comply with hygiene requirements where applicable. The Health & Welfare Procedure,
DRC-000-16540-0023, specifies the details of the site welfare arrangements.

8. LEADERSHIP & SAFETY CULTURE DEVELOPMENT &BEHAVIOUR CHANGE PROGRAM


Changing the way each employee embraces a positive safety behavior is a slow and challenging process,
which involves unconditional commitment from the most senior Management of the project. It is imperative to
start this journey with a mature concept that has been agreed upon by the Management. A key element of
this journey is carrying out periodic social and team building activities at all levels, led by the Top
Management. These activities encourage all employees to embrace the journey together with the
Management and create a strong bond between employees across all levels of project. The programs/tools
that DR. CONCRETE will adopt to transform its employees from “I must” to “I want” attitude will include the
IIF Program, and a Behavior Based Safety (BBS) tool as specified by the project. These programs/tools
encompass both the development of leadership skills as well as a positive safety culture.

The primary program to be implemented is the IIF program as a minimum requirement specified by DR.
CONCRETE. The BBS tool is an additional tool that allows systematic intervention and behavior modification
(thus level of safety culture maturity). BBS tools may include tools such as unsafe behavior observation
cards or other similar tools (refer to Section 12.3). For details refer to DR. CONCRETE Leadership & Safety
Culture Development Procedure DRC-000-16540-0028.

8.1. Incident and Injury Free Program

The principle of JMJ Associates’ IIF program is that building a good relationship is the foundation for
accomplishments. It also describes that the better the relationship between individuals and groups of
employees, the better the accomplishments and achievements of an Organization (proportional
improvement). IIF focuses on expanding or strengthening human relationships in order to enhance safety
culture within the Organization. Based on the principle, IIF is promoting individual caring minds and
developing a safety culture.

One of the key features of the IIF program is the management leadership and involvement which directly or
indirectly contributes to the development of safety culture within the Organization. Leading by example in
connection with an incentive program encourages employees at all levels to change their mind-set and
attitude towards safety, thus, transforming the safety culture of the Organization.

The IIF program consists of various key activities when implemented at Project level:

• IIF Commitment Workshop;


• Management Alignment Workshop;
• IIF Orientation Training;
• Launching Area Leadership Team;
• IIF Supervisory Skills and Knowledge Development;
• Appoint IIF Champions;
• JSO and Intervention Program;
• HSE Suggestion Program;

• Stop Work Notification Policy;
• IIF Incentive Scheme.
The above activities are standard activities expected to be implemented in all projects but will require further
creativity, visible Management leadership, intervention & recognition and sustainability. It will also depend on
the size of the project and resources available.

8.2. Behavior Based Safety

The BBS process usually includes identifying, assessing, and mitigating workplace hazards caused by at-risk
human behavior. BBS is a behavior-based process performed by observers (managers, supervisors, HSE
personnel, and/or workers in all project organizations) who routinely perform observations on workers as
they perform their daily job activities, intervene by corrective coaching, and appreciation by providing positive
feedback in the field. Crucial for the success of the program is a “no blame” approach.

Should the project decide to utilize a BBS tool at site, it shall involve all levels of all project organizations
(Client & DR. CONCRETE).

8.3. Job Safety Observation (JSO) and Intervention Program

As one of the strategies for establishing an incident and injury free site a JSO and Intervention Program will
be implemented as part of the IIF Program (refer to Section 12.1).

This programme will involve a selected number of Project personnel to carry out daily observations of their
co-worker’s behaviour and determine whether this is safe or unsafe. The programme of observations and
engagement will be between leadership on workers, and workers on workers. All personnel will be trained to
feed their findings back to the workers concerned in an appropriate manner, reinforcing good behaviour
when it is seen – creating opportunity to address or reward those reported behaviours.

9. PERFORMANCE MONITORING, MEASURING & REPORTING


DR. CONCRETE will monitor HSE performance during all stages of the Project. This will ensure that DR.
CONCRETE will:

• Achieve HSE performance standards in accordance with agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPI);
• Improve HSE performance standards through the setting of higher KPIs.
Relevant performance figures and KPI’s shall be reviewed in the periodic HSE Committee meetings and
improvement actions shall be discussed. All recommendations/action items arising from shortfalls, gaps, or
deficiencies identified by audits or through other means such as HSE assessments, planned emergency
evacuation exercises and drills, HSE surveys/inspections/tours and incident/injury investigations shall be
formally recorded together with the current status of closeout of such items. DR. CONCRETE shall establish
HSE tracking registers under the custody of the DR. CONCRETE Site HSE Manager.

All pre-specified KPI’s shall be recorded and reported on a regular basis and as specified by the DR.
CONCRETE Site HSE Manager, but all KPI’s shall be reported at least once a month. These reports shall be
shared by DR. CONCRETE as required.

9.1. Safety Performance and Reporting

The Site HSE Manager is responsible for preparing HSE statistics covering man-hours worked,

Action Items to be tracked:

• Incident Corrective Actions;


• Incident Preventive Actions (requires root cause analysis);
• Audit Corrective Actions;
• Audit Preventive Actions;
• Other Improvement Actions (Improvement Action Plans, Cold Eye Reviews, Effectiveness Reviews,
etc.).
11. TRAINING AND AWARENESS
DR. CONCRETE considers essential the HSE orientation of new employees before starting any activities on
site. Education of all employees about the work environment and site conditions is fundamental in order to
obtain effective accident prevention. Each worker must be aware of their responsibilities, the hazards of their
work and how to react in the event of emergencies.

All DR. CONCRETE employees shall be properly familiarized with their work environment. In line with such
principles, DR. CONCRETE will prepare a HSE Training Plan which will include a training matrix specifying
mandatory courses and distinguishing between induction training and activity risk-based training for different
job groups/risk activities.

An HSE Training Matrix will be developed by DR. CONCRETE and the HSE Training process will be revised
and updated periodically to reflect and incorporate any training needs that may arise from changing work
activities.

DR. CONCRETE is committed to provide such training as is required to establish and maintain a high HSE
standard throughout the duration of the Project. The training program will, as a minimum, embrace the
following:

• Mandatory safety training as required by Client /Local Regulations;


• HSE Orientation Courses;
• IIF Orientation for Workers;
• IIF Leadership Skills for Supervisors;
• Job Specific HSE Training;
• Risk Assessment & JSA;
• Daily STARRT Program;
• Hazardous Materials and Controls.
Training details are given in DR. CONCRETE HSE Training Plan, DRC-000-16540-0006.

11.1. Induction Training

All employees to be mobilized at site will receive the mandatory HSE induction before proceeding with their
activities on Project areas. The specifications regarding language, tests and minimum contents of the HSE
induction are described in HSE Training Plan. Personnel will attend this induction training on the first day at
work. After the presentation they will undertake a HSE induction written examination to demonstrate their

understanding of Project requirements. Admittance to the site areas will be denied unless they have
successfully completed the HSE induction training. Failure to satisfy test requirements may result in
individuals being excluded from site. Records of the performed training sessions and test result will be kept
until completion of the Project.

As described in the HSE Training Plan, personnel who have successfully undergone induction

training will be issued with a HSE Training passport/card/badge which will have a picture of the employee
and a unique issue number. This passport/card must be carried with the employee at all times and must be
presented at the beginning of each training session.

Everyone must be in possession of their Security ID badge at all times while on site. Helmet stickers (or other
equivalent evidence) will be regarded as quick visual proof that each individual has attended HSE induction
successfully and has been issued with a Security ID badge. Office based staff will be required to display their
ID badge at all time while inside project facilities. Relevant HSE training will be provided to Client staff who
are required to access project areas. Newly employed, promoted, and/or transferred employees shall be
verbally instructed in the HSE practices required by their Work assignments. A basic safety orientation is
mandatory for those:

• Who are new employees;


• Who are required to visit the Project on an infrequent but regular basis;
• Who are returning to the Project after an absence of more than 90 days.
Senior management will additionally participate in the HSE orientation, delivering personal commitment
messages and HSE expectations to new hires.

11.2. Safety Handbook

A pocket sized HSE handbook will be distributed to all personnel. All personnel are expected to read and
understand the handbook and any questions related to the handbook shall be directed to the HSE Group. All
personnel are expected to retain their handbooks for reference. The handbook shall cover the basic industrial
safety on SITE and shall be designed to meet the following minimum objectives:

• Raise general safety awareness of the individual.


• Raise the level of understanding of the nature of the exposure to risk.
• Give a practical understanding of the way to, and need to, avoid hazards, and the need to comply with
safety precautions.
• Give a practical understanding of safety regulations and specific hazards, which may be encountered.
• Give an explanation of the Permit to Work system.
• Advise of SITE evacuation procedures.
• Give the requirements for the use of safety equipment and be instructed in their use.
• Advise on the type and nature of audible and other Emergency warnings in use at facilities.

11.3. Worker Mentoring Program

The aim of the programme is designed to assist new employees in avoiding incidents and injuries and to
enhance their assimilation into the Project’s “Goal Zero’ culture. Newly hired and assigned field employees
shall be physically identified by hard hats stickers (or badges where applicable) for a period to be defined.

The intent is to assist management, supervision, and others in identifying new employees and to allow for
intervention when their behavior or environment puts them at risk. Each new employee will have assigned to
them, an experienced mentor, who has demonstrated consistent safe work habits. The mentor will then
monitor and observe the employee’s ability to safely perform work. Mentor training should be made available
for employees assigned this employment development role and will be used to promote ownership and
accountability of the programme. For detailed particulars, reference is given to DR. CONCRETE New or
Inexperienced Worker Control Procedure DRC-000-16540-0035.

11.4. Client Supplied Induction Training

In some cases, Client will provide HSE induction to all DR. CONCRETE staff if they are required to access
Client existing facilities and live Plant.

At the discretion of the Client, and according to Plant training requirements, this particular training may
include, but not be limited to:

• Client (Operator) Induction Training;


• Client (Operator) emergency procedures, evacuation, gas and fire alarms;
• Client (Operator) protective clothing requirements;
• Client (Operator) access control procedure;

• Client (Operator) PTW Procedure.

11.5. Visitor Induction

All visitors can access Project areas only after receiving a visitor HSE induction as described in the HSE
Training Plan.

Visitors will be given an appropriate short orientation and training session prior to obtaining site access
credentials. This will include:

• Details of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required on the Project;


• Reporting of injuries, incidents and property damage;
• Location of the nearest medical facility, emergency and evacuation procedures;
• Review all barricading, signage, applicable to the visit;
• Explain no smoking regulations and Project procedures applying to the worker(s);
• Environmental requirements;
• Cultural and heritage issues.
Visitors will be accompanied by an authorized person at all times whilst on Site.

12. INCENTIVE AND RECOGNITION


DR. CONCRETE considers that the development of positive attitudes towards HSE ultimately influences
behavior and thus improves overall performance in terms of HSE, quality and productivity. As such, the HSE
Incentive & Recognition Program introduces participative initiatives and incentives to portray the positive
aspects of HSE performance, as opposed to the more traditional focus on incidents only. Incentives and
recognition are effective tools to promote HSE program visibility through individual and team reward,

recognition and communication, thereby contributing towards positive motivation and fostering of a caring
work and living environments for all.

The objective of the Incentive & Recognition Program is to achieve the following:

• Indoctrinate and create HSE awareness and safety behavior at the worksite and in the camps;
• Achieve good safety performance and meet or exceed all KPIs;
• Promote a culture of “respect and care” and “no blame/stop unsafe work” at all times;
• Recognize workers for their contribution to the overall HSE performance;
• Create a safe, healthy and environmentally friendly workplace and living environment.
For details refer to DR. CONCRETE Incentive & Recognition Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0026.

13. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT


Risks to health and safety may occur whenever there is exposure to chemical, physical or biological hazards.
The degree of risk depends on the severity of the hazard and the degree of exposure.

The varied jobs undertaken by DR. CONCRETE employees present a wide range of risks to health and
safety. Control to an acceptable level depends on the identification and evaluation of the hazards with
reference to exposure standards.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as part of the hierarchy of controls is used where there is no other
means of control over the exposure. The basic protection to be worn by employees required to gain entry to
the site is:

• Safety hard hat;


• Long sleeve shirt and trousers (or coveralls);
• Steel-toed safety boots;
• Gloves;
• Safety glasses (clear and dark);
Additional task specific PPE for welding, handling of hazardous chemicals etc. may include:

• Rubber gloves;
• Rubber boots;
• Leather apron;
• Face shield;
• Hearing protection;
• Respiratory protection;
• Personal fall protection system.
DR. CONCRETE recognizes the fact that if personnel are required to work inside the live plant area then the
standards for Personal Protective Equipment are those of the Client , e.g. the use of fire-retardant coveralls.
For detailed particulars, reference is given to DR. CONCRETE Personal Protective Equipment Procedure,
DRC-000-16540-0039.

14. INCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING

This Plan confirms that the reporting and investigating of an incident or near miss is essential to the
improvement of the overall management of Project HSE objectives.

DR. CONCRETE will ensure all injuries, incidents and near misses involving personnel, property, vehicles
and the environment are reported promptly, investigated, documented and corrective actions put in place to
prevent recurrences.

DR. CONCRETE will notify all incidents to Client within 24 hours. In the event of a fatality or serious incident,
DR. CONCRETE shall, with the assistance of Client , notify and report to relevant authorities within the
required time as stipulated in the local regulations. In the event of a major incident, a Safety Alert will be
generated and issued site wide. For detailed particulars, reference is given to DR. CONCRETE Incident
Management Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0027.

DR. CONCRETE shall aim to achieve the following objectives:

• Zero health, safety and environmental incidents;


• Zero major spills and damage to property and assets;
• Implement measures to control and prevent recurrence of similar incidents;
• Ensuring appropriate and structured handling of incidents so personnel can receive necessary and
prompt medical treatment and care;
• Ensuring prompt notification of incidents to:
− Client /PMC;
− DR. CONCRETE stakeholders (if required);
− appropriate regulatory and governmental agencies (if required).
• Ensuring competent and timely investigation and analysis of incidents and near misses;

Figure 5: Typical Investigation Process

14.1. Investigation Team

The composition of Investigation Teams will depend on the severity of the incident. As a minimum, the Team
must comprise:

• SM Site Manager;
• Site HSE Manager (or delegate);
• Incident owner representative;
• Client representative.
For complex or serious incident investigations requiring more resources or commitment, the project may
request the Client HSE to join the project incident investigation team for support. Investigations shall be
conducted without prejudice and shall focus on finding the facts, not faults or placing blame. The purpose of
the investigation is to find the root cause of the incident so that effective steps can be taken to prevent
reoccurrence.

14.2. Results of Investigation

The results of any investigation, including recommendations for preventive action will be submitted for review
and approval to Project Manager and Client /PMC Management Representative at site within the required
timeframe as specified in the Incident Investigation and Reporting Procedure. A summary of the incident
shall be communicated to the work force immediately after the finalization of the investigation report to
ensure that all personnel understand what happened and how similar incidents can be prevented in the
future.

15. RISK MANAGEMENT
A comprehensive site risk management process will consist of the following:

• Risk Assessment – identification of work hazards and assessment of risks for all work activities on
site;
• SWMS – describing the method of executing a task safely;
• Job Safety Analysis – a systemized process for identifying hazards within each step of the job and
determining measures to control those hazards;
• Safety Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk (STARRT) – a communication tool with the work force
regarding the identification of task risks.
Risk will be managed (assessed and controlled) throughout the duration of the project. The DR. CONCRETE
Risk Management Procedure [DRC-000-16540-0043] provides specific details of the process.

The following paragraphs present principles, tools and methodologies of HAZID and Risk Management:

15.1. Risk Assessment

To ensure that necessary steps have been undertaken to minimize/control HSE risks to “as low as
reasonably practicable” (ALARP) and to protect health and safety of all employees and the environment in
which they operate, as well as the assets and the reputation of the Project, all activities require a Risk
Assessment to be carried out.

The HSE Risk Assessment is usually conducted through a systematic process of four (4) steps:

1. Identifying potential hazards and their potential consequences;


2. Evaluating the risk potential of the hazards identified;
3. Reducing the risk to ALARP, which may be achieved by reducing the probability of a hazard or
mitigating its potential consequences;
4. Reviewing the hazards and risks on a periodic basis.

15.2. Safe Work Method Statement

A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a document that outlines high risk activities to be carried out at
the workplace, the hazards that may arise from these activities, and the method to be used to complete the
task safely.

For works carried out on a regular basis a generic SWMS may be prepared and used for those work
activities. The content of the SWMS can be refined over time and include consultation with workers and other
persons conducting similar or relevant tasks. Prior to each new activity, the SWMS must be prepared and
reviewed to ensure it is appropriate and sufficient. Based on the safe work method described in the SWMS,
the JSA can be prepared accordingly. Both documents, the SWMS and the JSA will be required attachments
for the Permit to Work.

15.3. Job Safety Analysis

As part of the overall strategy of DR. CONCRETE Risk Management System and used in conjunction with
other strategies/methodologies and tools (e.g. Permit to Work, STARRT, Toolbox meetings), all activities
require a Job Safety Analysis (JSA).

DRC-000-16540-0001-00 ISSUE: IFP REV: 01 Date: 8-May-24 Page 29 of 57
The JSA procedure defines the technique used to identify job hazards and threats and it will actively
contribute to prevent/minimize injuries, illness and environmental incidents. The JSA also can be a valuable
tool for training new employees in the steps required to perform their jobs safely.

JSA shall be issued only after a field survey of the area(s) where the activity is going to be performed.
Following the approval of the proposed JSA from the DR. CONCRETE Site Manager, prior to the
commencement of the activity, the Supervisor in charge shall conduct the STARRT Meeting where the JSA
shall be discussed with personnel involved in the task.

15.4. Safety Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk (pre-start tool)

The Safety Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk (STARRT) is an analysis of work tasks, conducted by team
leaders and involving the employees in the identification and correction of hazards.

STARRT Meetings will be applied to all activities carried out on the project to summarize and highlight the
essential points of the JSA, including any associated documentation and to ensure that all personnel
involved in the job understand the hazards and control measures. Each work-team shall actively participate
in defining the ways that minimizes the associated risk prior to starting work.

The work crew will inspect their work area using a hazard checklist immediately prior to commencing work.
Where Moderate to High hazards are found that were not previously identified in the SWMS or JSA, the
Management of Change (see Section 20) process must be followed and a revision of the SWMS and JSA will
be conducted by the supervisor and work crew prior to re-starting work.

The STARRT will also consider and include the impact that the planned work tasks may have on other
contractors or work groups. The process also encourages feedback from employees to provide continuous
improvement to the Project safety processes and Safety Management Systems.

15.5. Lone Working and Remote Work Locations

Lone workers are those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision. Anybody who works
alone, including DR. CONCRETE personnel, and Vendor specialists are classed as a lone worker.

Lone workers include:

• people in fixed establishments where only one person works on the premises, e.g. in small workshops;
• people who work outside normal hours, e.g. security, maintenance staff, etc.;
• people who work away from the main site, e.g. remote off-site locations, such as pipeline tie-ins.
Lone workers and workers and work groups working in remote areas are exposed to additional hazards.
These hazards must be risk assessed and necessary controls must be put in place. If the risk assessment
shows that it is not possible for the work to be done safely by a lone worker, arrangements for providing help
or backup must be put in place, e.g. a buddy system to be applied where a buddy is assigned to the lone
worker for assistance and standby for emergencies.

Hazards that lone workers may encounter include:

• emergencies arising out of the work, including inadequate provision of first aid;
• sudden illnesses;
• inadequate provision of rest, hygiene and welfare facilities;

• physical violence from members of the public and/or intruders.
The risk assessment must prescribe control measures to be implemented to eliminate/minimize the identified
risks. Such control measures may include:

• Means of effective communication: mobile phone, telephone or radio;


• Periodic checks (visiting the location, or check calls);
• Instruction and training in proper procedures for lone working in remote areas;
• Provision of medic First Aid kit;
• Buddy system, watchman;
• Provision of rest Shelters and sufficient fresh drinking water supply.
No one is permitted to work alone by him or herself in a remote work location. The buddy system must be
applied and strictly adhered to.

16. HSE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE


DR. CONCRETE shall establish an effective Management of Change process to safely manage changes to
work activities, processes and the organization that may be required during any phase of the project, and to
eliminate or mitigate any impact to health and safety or the environment in doing so. The Management of
Change procedure is applicable to all project personnel and organizations throughout the duration of the
project until the facility is handed over to Client . The scope of this procedure applies to all project locations
including, but not limited to, the following:

• Worksite
• Temporary site facilities (offices, satellite offices)
• Store areas
• Fabrication yards
• Workshops
• Off-site tie-in locations
• Laydown yards
DR. CONCRETE does not require change management to be applied for those changes that are planned
and part of the process/organization. DR. CONCRETE only requires change management for changes that
are deemed necessary from emerging issues or problems, and to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the
project. For details refer to DR. CONCRETE HSE Management of Change Procedure DRC-000-16540-0052.

Change management and project management are two critical disciplines that are applied to a variety of
organizational changes to improve the likelihood of success and return on investment. Introducing changes
will ultimately impact one or more of the following:

• Processes
• Systems
• Organization structure
• Job roles

DRC-000-16540-0001-00 ISSUE: IFP REV: 01 Date: 8-May-24 Page 31 of 57
All changes shall be subject to hazard identification (HAZID) and risk assessment prior to the changes taking
place. Further reference regarding the risk management process is provided in the Risk Management
Procedure, S-B00-1654-0043.

Once changes have been implemented, it shall be ensured that all relevant documents, such as risk
assessments, SWMS, plans, and procedures, are updated accordingly to reflect these changes.

17. PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM


The DR. CONCRETE Permit to Work (PTW) system is used to provide the controls necessary in achieving
the safe performance of a specified range of non-routine and potentially hazardous tasks. The DR.
CONCRETE PTW Procedure serves as a legal and compulsory document to be observed and complied with
by all DR. CONCRETE employees during all phases of activities.

All personnel must be aware that the PTW system is not an absolute safeguard in itself. It is the responsibility
of everyone to be alert to hazardous situations that may arise during the PTW controlled activities. For details
refer to DR. CONCRETE Permit to Work Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0038. The table 1. below describes
parties involved in the PTW System:

17.1. Processing a Permit

The below basic steps describe how a permit is processed, including obtaining, working under, and closure
thereof:

• Document a description of the work tasks;


• Identify hazards, controls, isolation points and any other specific certificates required;
• Prepare PTW pack (including all attachments such as JSA, red line drawings, SWMS,
certificates etc.);
• Apply for permit and submit the PTW pack for review and approval by the issuing authority, PTW
coordinator, concurrence signatory authority, and affected area authority;
• Permit request, controls and nominated isolation points reviewed and accepted;
• Permit issued to the performing party;
• Performing party carries out the job while PTW pack remains in the vicinity of the task;
• Work completed and work area cleaned up;
• Checks made on safety of the work area;
• Permit returned to permit office;  Permit closed.
These basic steps are commonly applied but may vary depending on Project requirements.

17.2. Work Requiring a Permit

As a guide, all non-routine, high risk and hazardous activities will require the application for, and approval of,
a PTW from the relevant issuing authority prior to commencement of the activity. The below tables show the

work applicable to camp operations and maintenance and will implement the relevant and necessary HSE
procedures for the management of all HSE issues. The requirements apply to all camp occupants, visitors,
vendors and suppliers that require accessing the Camp facilities, either on-duty or off-duty.

Specifications for accommodation standards, sizes, types and facilities are not contained in this plan as they
are contained in specific project design and contract documents. For details refer to Camp HSE Procedure,
DRC-000-16540-0011.

20. HSE INSPECTIONS AND AUDITS


The HSE Audit, Review and Inspection Programs provide a means for DR. CONCRETE to assess the level
of compliance against all applicable Project HSE Policies, Plans & Procedures. As an objective, the results of
audits allow for evaluation of the standard of HSE performance against the KPI agreed between DR.
CONCRETE and Client. Monitoring of performance is an important part of any management system to verify

whether the objectives have been achieved. The HSE Audit Procedure and the HSE Inspection Procedure
also define the internal system for verification of the implementation of the HSE Management System by:

• Providing assurance that the controls, arrangements or procedures necessary to achieve the
objectives of the Management System have been Established throughout the Project;
• Confirming by measuring the degree of compliance with these controls and procedures and
stimulating discussion on their continued effectiveness and improvement.
The HSE Audit Procedure will, as a minimum, include the assessment, evaluation and review of Project HSE
documentation (Policies, Plans & Procedures), including site verification of the execution of procedures and
practices, to ensure compliance and conformance with applicable and current HSE legislation, regulations,
requirements, standards and Contractual obligations. For details refer to DR. CONCRETE HSE Audit
Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0048, and HSE Inspection Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0051.

20.1. Company Audits

In addition to the audits described, Company may conduct audits and inspections as they deem necessary.
Notification of a formal audit shall be provide 14 days in advance, accompanied by formal terms of reference.

20.2. HSE Walkdowns and Site Inspections

20.2.1. Site Leadership Team


The Site Leadership Team (SLT) will conduct walkdowns on a weekly basis. These walkdowns are intended
to demonstrate management commitment to HSE and provide management a mean to participate in the HSE
effort openly and actively. Emphasis will be placed on positive reinforcement, as well as identifying issues
and concerns. All issues and concerns will be addressed on the spot whenever feasible.

The Site HSE Manager will summarize the results of the walkdowns and issue them to the Site Leadership
with recommendations. The SLT will review the results and analyse trends, develop HSE topics, and assign
action items, and the summary of the results will be communicated back to the workforce through the
supervisors and publication.

20.2.2. Site Management


Walkdowns will be conducted on a daily basis. The Site Managers and Area Managers will perform one
walkdowns with the Site HSE Managers and the Superintendents of that particular area. Problems,
deficiencies and concerns identified during the walkdown will to be communicates to the Site SSC for review

22. NIGHT WORK SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS


Performing work activities at night can be beneficial for the project and have significant impact on productivity
and schedule. However, a number of safety issues can make night work challenging for work crews,
operators and drivers.

22.1. Worker Safety

Night work generally involves decreased vision for the workers because of lower overall luminance levels in
the work zones, the effects of shadows created by equipment and materials, and glare from vehicle
headlights, plant and equipment lights around the work area. In addition, concerns exist over potential
degradations in worker attention levels and overall health due to the disruption of the body’s natural circadian
rhythms. Performing work at night may also affect worker’s quality of life as a result of reduced social and
family interaction opportunities.

Pedestrians walking in poorly illuminated project areas can be prone to tripping and falling hazards as well as
low structures, which pedestrians could walk into and injure themselves.

22.2. Illumination

Sufficient illumination is required for night-time work. Therefore, illumination is a unique and critical factor in
night-time activities. DR. CONCRETE shall comply with all lighting night work requirements, taking into
account the illumination requirements for different night activities. A risk assessment shall identify specific
hazards and risks associated with night work and determine suitable controls. Additional activities such as
lux level inspections should be performed in areas such as inside and under modules.

23. ADVERSE WEATHER MANAGEMENT


DR. CONCRETE shall identify potential and reasonably foreseeable adverse weather conditions at the
project location and determine suitable controls accordingly. Adverse weather can significantly affect
workplace safety and therefore preparations shall be carried out in advance.

Adverse weather will depend on the Country and project location and, amongst others, may include the
following weather conditions:

• Extreme high temperature (heat season);


• Extreme low temperatures, ice, blizzards;
• Heavy rain falls and wet weather (raining season);
• High winds, gusts and typhoons/hurricanes/cyclones;
• Fog;

24.2.2. Health Surveillance & Exposure Monitoring
Health surveillance is the process of monitoring the health of employees exposed to certain hazardous
substances for which there are known and acceptable health surveillance procedures. The main purpose of
health surveillance is to detect adverse changes to health due to exposure to substances in the workplace.
Health surveillance can also help evaluate the effectiveness of risk controls. However, it should never be
used as an alternative to the implementation and proper maintenance of risk controls.

The starting point of health surveillance is the project health risk assessment (HRA). All health hazards in the
workplace (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychological) are identified through HRA, including
the control measures to be taken to control the risks. Where some risk remains and there is likely to be harm
caused to project personnel, further steps shall be taken. Health surveillance will be required where project
personnel are at risk from:

• Noise or vibration;
• Solvents, dusts, fumes, biological agents and other substances hazardous to health;
• Asbestos and lead (demolition works);
• Work in compressed air (e.g. underwater diving operations);  Ionizing radiation (e.g. x-ray).
Where the risk controls of the HRA require control of exposure of personnel to harmful substances, the
exposure shall be monitored and recorded. Exposure can be controlled by either:

• Reducing the dose of the harmful substance;


• Reducing the time the person is exposed to the harmful substance.
The diagram below provides an overview of the health surveillance process.

causation might have been the result of operator error, the operator will have to be re-evaluated in a manner
similar to the initial evaluation. If the operator does not meet the original evaluation standards, then remedial
training with a qualified operator must take place. DR. CONCRETE Competent Person Designation
Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0013 specifies relevant competency requirements for operators.

33. CONFINED SPACE ENTRY


Working in confined spaces poses a threat to workers wellbeing and health. DR. CONCRETE shall ensure all
work associated with entry into confined spaces is carried out in a safe and efficient manner and is provided
the necessary safeguards for personnel engaged to carry out such works at the worksite. It also details
methods of rescue from confined spaces in the event of an incident. All activities within confined spaces will
require the relevant Permit to Work as detailed in the PTW Procedure.

A confined space means any enclosed or partially enclosed space located either above or below ground or
deck level where entry is possible and where there is a risk of oxygen deficiency, or the accumulation of dust
or gases which are flammable or hazardous to a person’s health. Entry into these or any other confined
spaces refer not only to complete body entry but also to partial entry when the head is inserted into the
confined space via a manhole and or opening.

Three criteria are needed to define a confined space:

• Large enough to enter and perform work;


• Has limited or restricted access or egress;
• Not designed for continuous human occupancy.
Some examples of confined spaces are, but are not limited to:

• Process columns, vessels, exchangers and equipment skirts;


• Larger diameter piping;
• CO2 compartments;
• Underground collection pits;
• Sewage pits;
• Excavations subject to restricted ventilation.
The employee orientation training provided to each employee upon initial assignment to a job site will include
sufficient instruction to prevent unauthorized entry into a confined space. A formal classroom training session
will be successfully completed by employees prior to initial assignment as an Entrant, Attendant, Fire Watch
and Entry Supervisor for confined space operations. For details refer to DR. CONCRETE Confined Space
Entry Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0015.

34. WORKING AT HEIGHT


DR. CONCRETE shall establish minimum requirements and guidelines for work activities carried out at
height and provide maximum prevention/protection against falls from elevation and a minimum standard of
training necessary to ensure understanding and compliance with the program. The goal is to achieve 100%
fall prevention/protection for all personnel working at height who are exposed to potential falls.

Primary fall prevention systems are the preferred choice for performing work in elevated areas. These
systems provide walking and working surfaces that are free from floor/wall openings and are equipped with

standard guardrail systems on all open sides. In most cases, primary fall prevention systems are sufficient
fall prevention methods in themselves and do not require the use of additional (secondary) fall protection
systems such as harness/lanyard systems.

Secondary fall protection systems should only be utilized after all efforts to employ primary fall prevention
systems have been exhausted or when being used together with primary systems.
The scope of the Working at Height (WAH) requirements extends to all areas of the Project and to all project
personnel where any WAH activities are to be performed. When primary fall prevention methods are not
adequate and personnel are required to utilize secondary fall protection systems, 100% tie-off is a mandatory
requirement for all site personnel at heights 1.8m and over. All project personnel 1.8m above grade are
required to wear a safety harness with two lanyards, including when working on completed platforms and
scaffolding structures.

WAH requirements apply only to activities under the control of DR. CONCRETE during SOW activity. When
areas have been handed over to Commissioning teams, then access and fall protection requirements will be
dealt with on an individual basis. For details refer to DR. CONCRETE Working at Height Procedure, DRC-
000-16540-0056.

34.1. Mobile Elevated Working Platforms

The use of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP) is increasing as the benefits for productivity and safety
are recognized. They can be the safest and most efficient means of providing temporary access to height for
many work activities.

The following shall be considered when planning to use a MEWP for accessing elevated work areas;

• Type of MEWPs to be used;


• Hazards that need to be considered when travelling to, accessing or working in the work area;
• Risk control measures to be implemented;
• Competency and training requirements for those involved in the work;  Emergency arrangements.
The hazards identified and control measures to be adopted shall be communicated to those who supervise
and carry out the work tasks.

Personnel intending to use the MEWP shall be trained and competent to safely operate and use MEWPS,
including the emergency procedures for malfunctioning equipment and rescue from height. Further details
are described in DR. CONCRETE Mobile Elevated Working Platform Control Procedure, DRC-000-16540-
0034.

work site during the performance of sandblasting, grit-blasting, field coating and painting operations. All grit-
blasting will be carried out under DR. CONCRETE PTW System. Painting applies to field coatings only, not
factory coatings.

All blasting and painting activities will be contained to prevent the exposure of other workers to these
processes and to limit the effects on the surrounding environment.

For all blasting and painting activities, suitable and sufficient PPE will be supplied to those involved in the
processes. Where respiratory equipment is utilized, it will be regularly inspected and tested for
serviceability.
Employees involved in these processes will be adequately trained to recognize the hazards involved and to
take the necessary precautions.

All painting and blasting equipment will be properly maintained and tested before use. Any thorough
inspection will be carried out by a Competent Person. For details refer to DR. CONCRETE Abrasive Blasting,
Coating and Painting Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0007. This procedure should also be read in conjunction

Long trips can significantly reduce alertness and concentration, thus affecting the responsiveness of the
driver, potentially resulting in motor vehicle accidents and personal injury. Journey management is detailed in
DR. CONCRETE Journey Management Plan, DRC-000-16540-0004.

40. FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION


Prevention is the first line of defence against fire. All reasonably practicable measures shall be taken to
reduce the fire risks to as low as reasonably practicable. In addition to the information detailed in sections
45.1, 45.2 and 45.3, the DR. CONCRETE Fire Prevention & Protection Procedure, DRC-000-16540-0020
provides specific details in this regard, including but not limited to, resources and responsibilities, fire risk
management, drills, and fire response measures.

40.1. Fire Detection & Alarm Systems

Manually operated bells or sirens will be installed so that alarms can be heard in all areas of the site and
camp. They should be operated immediately in the event of fire breaking out. A secondary Public Address
(PA) system supported by loud hailers with multi-lingual or pictorial instruction shall be used.

Radios and phones will be used to communicate any incident to the relevant incident focal points, e.g.
Security Operation Center, HSE Manager, Incident/Emergency Response Coordinator etc. Rooms and
corridors of building shall be fitted with fire and smoke detection and alarms, as determined by fire risk
assessment. Whatever equipment is provided, DR. CONCRETE shall ensure that:

• Fire equipment is located where it is needed and is easily accessible;


• The location of fire-fighting equipment and how to use it is clearly indicated;

• At least two escape routes in different directions;
• Travel distances to safety are reduced to a minimum;
• Escape routes and emergency exits are clearly signed;
• Escape routes and exits are kept clear;
• Emergency exits should never be locked when people are on the site;
• Emergency lighting is installed if necessary, to assist escape. This is especially important in enclosed
stairways in multi-story structures which will be in total darkness if the normal lighting fails during a
fire;
• Assembly points are identified where everyone can gather and be accounted for;
• Enclosed escape routes, for example corridors or stairwells, can resist fire and smoke ingress from the
surrounding site.

40.3. Fire Prevention and Housekeeping

Properly Established and applied housekeeping procedures are required in order to reduce both the risk of
fire and the ultimate consequences should a fire occur.

40.3.1. Work Areas and Walkways


No materials, flammable or otherwise, shall be allowed to accumulate in the workplace or in walkways where
they can present direct fire hazards or obstruct attempts to deal with a fire.

Work areas and walkways should be kept free of any unnecessary flammable materials, including:

• Flammable materials or agents no longer required for the activity;


• Combustible waste (for example, wood shavings, flammable dust);
• Packaging materials, particularly plastics and polyester foam waste which, when ignited, can give off
large amounts of dense, black smoke and toxic fumes;
• All spills involving flammable liquids shall be cleaned up immediately. Where necessary, suitable
cleaning materials should be provided and used;
• Flammable liquids should be dispensed over a drip tray, the contents of which should be disposed of
at frequent regular intervals (for example, on completion of dispensing activities);
• Where necessary, working areas should be kept free of flammable dust accumulation by regular
cleaning, and vacuuming spillages as they occur.
40.3.2. Waste Materials
• Suitable containers shall be provided for waste materials. These containers must be clearly labeled
with regards to their use and contents;
• Oily or paint-soaked rags, waste, or clothing shall be placed in closed, metal containers that shall be
emptied frequently, ensuring safe disposal of their contents;
• Contaminated waste materials should be disposed of safely in accordance with the Environmental
Management Plan. If necessary, waste disposal experts should be used.
40.3.3. Working Practices
• Keep containers closed when not in use. If possible, use containers with self-closing lids;
• Only dispense flammable liquids in a safe place where there is good ventilation and no source
of ignition;
• Take extra care when dealing with, or working close to, engine fuels, solvents and thinners. Nearly all
refined liquid petroleum products will emit a flammable vapor and may convert naturally to a gaseous
state at or below temperatures found in a normal working environment;

wind;
• A fire extinguisher.
Smoking outside the smoking Shelters shall be strictly prohibited and strong disciplinary action shall be taken
against violators.

41. MANUAL HANDLING AND WORKPLACE ERGONOMICS


The objective of controlling manual handling activities is to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorder or
injury, as well as identifying, assessing and controlling hazardous manual handling to reduce the number and
severity of musculoskeletal disorders associated with poor manual handling.

Manual handling can be defined as “any activity requiring the use of force exerted by a person to lift, lower,
push, pull, carry or otherwise move, hold or restrain any object.” Hazardous manual handling includes:

• Manual handling having any of the following characteristics:


− Repetitive or sustained application of force;
− Repetitive or sustained awkward posture;
− Repetitive or sustained movement;
− Application of high force being an activity involving a single or repetitive use of force that it would
be reasonable to expect that a person in the workforce may have difficulty undertaking;
− Exposure to sustained vibration.
• Manual handling of live persons (e.g. medical evacuation by stretcher);
• Manual handling of unstable or unbalanced loads or loads that are difficult to grasp or hold.
Particular attention should be given to posture, layout, conditions, and the task, and object involved. DR.
CONCRETE shall carry out risk assessments and/or JSA to determine suitable controls, taking the hierarchy
of controls into account. The HSE Training Section shall provide training in manual handling. Details are
specified in DR. CONCRETE Manual Handling Procedure, SP000-16540-0032.

42. ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT


Asbestos is a known carcinogen. The inhalation of asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma, lung
cancer and asbestosis. Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) can release asbestos fibers into the air
whenever they are disturbed, and especially during the following activities:

• Any direct action on ACM, such as drilling, boring, cutting, filing, brushing, grinding, sanding, breaking,
smashing or blowing with compressed air;
