Section-Four-Project EHS Management 4.1.1 Leadership & Commitment

Environmentally, Healthy and safe working conditions are the primary responsibility of everyone working in the Project. The implementation of the HYPER GENERAL CONTRACTING EHS Policy is, however a particular responsibility of the Project Manager and the Line Managers. These responsibilities will be clearly set out in this Project EHS Plan.The Project EHS Plan will be issued as a controlled document and all registered holders will be provided with subsequent revisions, amendments and additions.The Project EHSPlan is a live working document which will evolve and develop throughout the life of the project and has been prepared to describe how the works will be safely managed and controlled. The Project EHS Plan will also clearly identify the requirements to protect the health, safety and welfare of all personnel engaged on the project and others who may be affected by the operations of the project team.The Project EHS Plan will be independently reviewed and evaluated at regular intervals not exceeding six months or as otherwise deemed necessary to ensure its effectiveness.For the Project EHS Plan to be effective, it is essential that the project management and supervisory staff are familiar with and implement the relevant requirements of the Plan and ensure that it is drawn to the attention of all employees on the project.HYPER GEN CONT recognizes that planning for health and safety is an integral aspect of our business and if injuries and ill health are to be avoided it is essential that everyone be aware of their need to observe and ensure that site operations, which, by their nature are hazardous, are carried out in a safe manner, in accordance with approved risk assessments and method statements. Everyone has the responsibility and will be encouraged to report near misses, substandard practices and conditions and other methods and means of achieving continuous improvement in health and safety.The Management of HYPER GENERAL CONTRACTING and the Project Manager are conscious of the legal and moral requirements to provide a healthy and safe working environment and will actively seek the support of all employees engaged to look after the health and safety of themselves and their colleagues by working within the spirit of this Project EHS Plan.Competent HSE Officers have been appointed to coordinate and advise on matters involved in providing an effective EHS Management System, which meets legal and contractual obligations.The Project EHS Plan also governs the activities of all organizations including sub-contractors and suppliers who may be required to work on the project. Any person found to be willfully disregarding the requirements of the Plan may be subject to disciplinary action which may result in their removal from the project.HYPER GENERAL CONTRACTING will identify and where applicable, and as far as is reasonably practicable, provide adequate information, instruction and training to the workforce and ensure that statutory notification e.g. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Employers Liability Insurance are prominently displayed in conspicuous locations throughout the project.The Project EHS Plan is therefore published for information to all employees, contractors, subcontractors and other interested parties or organizations in the pursuance of the duty imposed by.The above commitment will therefore govern each employees of HYPER GENERAL CONTRACTING and can be demonstrated in their work by: Personnel involvement of Senior Management; Ensuring that effective arrangements exist for communication and discussion on Environmental Health & Safety matters at all levels; Setting and monitoring personal safety objectives on the Project as appropriate; Fulfilling the companys duty of care for all employees and subcontractors; Ensuring the provision of adequate instruction, training and supervision to enable work to be carried out safely; By the provision of safe premises and work places including access to and exit from; The provision of well-maintained plant and safe systems of work; The appointment of competent people to assist us in meeting our statutory duties including, where appropriate, specialists from outside the company.

HYPER GENERAL CONTRACTING will ensure that priority is given to matters of safety and adequate resources and funds are available to support actions and initiatives that have been developed. Targets for improving safety standards will be set, in accordance with the companys Zero Accident Philosophy.

4.1.2 Project EHS Policy StatementThe PRFD 153/1 ,Project Management Team regards Occupational Health and Safety as an integral part of its business performance and all reasonable practical measures will be taken to provide adequate training and resources where appropriate to protect the health, safety and welfare of all its employees, subcontractors and other persons who may be affected by its operations.The PRFD 153/1 Project Team recognizes the only effective approach to EHS is the systematic identification and control of risk. Rules and procedures will be established to ensure the observance and compliance of relevant statutory legislation and other safe working practices, which will be outlined in the project specific EHS Plan.The management of EHS will be the prime responsibility of all managers from the most senior manager to the first line supervisors. They must ensure that employees are competent to carry out their duties and responsibilities, are made aware of any risks and that safe working practices are adopted. This commitment to EHS must be clearly demonstrated by the proactive involvement of senior management in seeking continual cost effective improvement in EHS performance.It is our aim that everyone will participate in ensuring that the mitigation measures of water logging problems project achieves the highest standards of EHS and welfare for all employees.The effectiveness of the arrangements depends on the cooperation, commitment and active support of all employees and other persons on the project. Provision will therefore be made for all employees and other parties to be consulted, informed and if necessary, trained in matters which may affect their health and safety at work. Documents giving instructions or advice to enable this policy statement to be implemented are freely available from the EHS Department.The project management recognizes that during the course of our undertaking, employees and others may have reason to work with and on the premises of other employers. Cooperation and compliance with health and safety procedures of those employers must be strictly adhered to.The project management also recognizes the importance of information gained from the investigation of accidents/incidents to prevent recurrences. Therefore it is expected from HYPER employees to cooperate in reporting all accidents, near misses, substandard practices and conditions no matter how minor, either by informing your supervisor or any member of management without fear of disciplinary action being taken against you.The resulting information from reports will be analyzed and based on the results realistic objectives and targets will be set to implement key performance indicators that will achieve continuous improvement in EHS.Current legislation, relevant information from external sources, analysis of project statistics and changes in EHS procedures will be reviewed regularly, updated and communicated as necessary.All employees have the right to refer any concerns they have directly to the undersigned if they believe that the standard of EHS and welfare are not as they should be.This EHS Policy Statement will be reviewed at six monthly periods or as otherwise deemed necessary and will also be audited at agreed regular intervals to measure performance.This EHS Policy Statement is made in compliance with the duties imposed by the Codes of Practice which requires all employees to take reasonable care of the health and safety of themselves and other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions and cooperate with the employer as necessary to ensure that his duty is complied with.

Any breach of the Project HSE procedures or any statutory requirements may lead to suspension or termination of the contract at the subcontractors own expense.(Ref# AD EHSMS RF-Element 03)4.5 EHS Risk Management4.5.1Risk Management ProceduresAs a good EHS practice, HYPER GEN CONT has developed and published risk assessments relating to risks which their operations might pose to their own employees, and to any other persons who might be affected by them. HYPER GEN CONT proposed approach to risk management in order to meet statutory, regulatory and client as per the technical guideline and additional information to assist entities to comply with the requirements of AD ESHMS RF-Element 02Risk Management.

A risk assessment is a careful examination of what, in the workplace could cause harm to people and effect the environment, so that the entity can weigh up whether it has taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm and/or protect the environment.

Prior to undertaking any risk assessment, depending on the complexity of the process or task, the staff who are involved in the undertaking of the process or task should be consulted to gain an understanding of the hazards involved and more importantly, how the task is undertaken. This will help ensure that any measures that are identified to control risk can be implemented without creating additional risk(s) or complicating the processes.a) A comprehensive consultation process will help to achieve better EHS outcomes through the risk management process.b) A consultative group could include:1. workers;2. Supervisors 3. workplace health and safety officers;4. contractors; and5. Other relevant stakeholders.EHS risk assessment is an on-going process and shall be undertaken at various times including:1. When planning or making a change to a work procedure, activity and/or practices;2. When introducing new plant, equipment, materials or substances into the workplace;3. After an EHS incident (including near misses);4. Introduction of new workers;

5. Presence of a high level of risk associated with a specific work activity (e.g. confined space);6. At regular or scheduled intervals appropriate to the nature of the workplace and the hazards present;7. When legislative obligations change (including regulations); and8. Before work activities begin.

4.5.2 Five Steps of Risk Assessment

a) The risk assessment process can be systematically divided into five steps :1. Identify Hazards, based on experience, recorded data and other information2. Identify who can be harmed or what can be damaged and how understand who Can be harmed or what can be damaged from the risk and to what extent;

3. Evaluate the Risk and Select Additional Control Measures (if required). Using a recognized method, evaluate the level of risk and decide if it is required to implement any additional control measures. If additional control measures are required, select these from the hierarchy of control (e.g. eliminate, substitute, isolate or engineer out the risks, or reduce them through administrative measures or personal protective equipment) by selecting the highest order control method possible and then proceeding down the list in order;

4. Implement the Selected Control Measure(s) in the workplace; and5. Monitor the Control Measures to ensure that they are working correctly to control the risks and that no other risks have been introduced.

b) Attention shall be given to risks that may be easy to fix but may have low risk priority scores (e.g. power leads across the floor). These risks shall be fixed promptly. Particular attention shall also be given to risks that may have very low likelihood of an occurrence but may result in major consequences.

4.5.2.1 Identification, Assessment and Control of Hazards and AspectsA. Hazard/Aspect Identify any Hazards/Aspect, which may be present or may arise during the activity and enter the description within this column.An aspect is an element of an organizations activities, product or services, which interact with environment performance i.e., shall have a potential effect on environmentB. Consequence or SeverityAssess the potential consequences of any loss based on the hazard realizing its full potential if the hazardous event occurs. Ratings between 1 and 5:1. Insignificant2. Minor Injury / Minor effect3. Moderate4. Major5. Catastrophic C. Probability Assess the Probability of the Hazard realizing its potential if no control measures are put in place using the following ratings: 1. Rare2. Possible 3. Likely 4. Often5. Frequent/Almost certainD. Risk RatingThe risk rating is based on the probability of the hazard resulting in loss is given as a numerical figure between 1 and 25. The rating is calculated by using the 5 5 method. This measures each risk identified against the two constituents of risk hazard severity (seriousness) and likelihood (probability of occurrence), giving a value to each on a scale of 1 to 5. Multiplying the two answers together, i.e. the likelihood of an event occurring of 5 and a severity ranking of 5 would give a risk rating of 25.E. Recommended Control Measures. Probability (P)Severity (S)

Insignificant (1)Minor (2)Moderate (3)Major (4)Catastrophic (5)

Rare (1)12345

Possible (2)246810

Frequent/Almost certain (5)510152025

15-25Extreme Risk Absolutely unacceptably highActivity should not proceed in current form

8-12High RiskUnacceptably highActivity should be modified to include remedial planning and action and to be subjected to detailed EHS assessment

4-6Moderate RiskAcceptable but must be managed at ALARPActivity can operate subject to management and / or modification

1-3Low RiskAcceptable without required further actionNo action required unless escalation of risk is possible

Identify and list any existing controls imposed by legislation together with any company controls or safety measures to reduce the risk. They may include method statements, permit systems, training and instruction or use of personal protective equipment etc. to undertake the task safely. A. Residual RiskThe residual risk is calculated on the reduced Likelihood and Severity ratings, which are a direct consequence of the control measure being put in place. In the event that the residual risk is higher than 6 then further advice must be sought to reduce the riskB. Additional Controls Required To Minimize Risk

In general, high risks may require the provision of considerable additional resources involving special equipment, training, high levels of supervision and consideration of the most effective methods of eliminating or controlling hazards. Lower level risks may be considered as acceptable but actions should still be taken to try to reduce these risks. Those hazards identified as not adequately controlled should be identified as a management action plan in a prioritized list using the risk assessment outcome numbers as a guide to those that will require urgent attention and those that can be listed for action same time in the future. Some very serious risks can be reduced to adequately controlled levels very quickly and cheaply once identified; other less serious risks may be more difficult and require considerable resources, it is essential, however, for realistic time limits to be set for the various items to be performed in the same way that other management objectives are given deadlines.I.Identification, Assessment and Control of Hazards and Effects Management

Hazards are classified as High (H), Medium (M) and Low (L) to describe potential severity in the event of an accident. "High" - A condition or practice likely to cause permanent disability, loss of life or body part and/or extensive loss of structure, equipment or materials "Medium" - A condition or practice likely to cause serious injury or illness (resulting in temporary disability) or property damage that is disruptive, but less severe than "High". "Low" - A condition or practice likely to cause minor (non-disability) injury or illness or non-disruptive property damage.

4.5.1.2Project Risk Register

The risk and aspects register shall include reference to method statements that are developed as part of the control measures to reduce the risk or impact. Information on the specific control measures that are to be implemented for any activity that has been defined as medium or high risk/impact following the completion of a robust risk assessment shall be included within these documents.

(Ref# AD EHSMS RF Element 02, AD EHSMS RF Element 03 and Attached; Appendix 6.5 - Risk Register /Risk Assessment :)

4.6 Training and Awareness

4.6.1 Project Specific Training and Awareness

The project management will continue with its established practice of training all employees in supplementary EHS training. All training will be carried out using either in house or approved external trainers. All training courses will be identified to enable the operations to be carried out safely and efficiently in conjunction with the individual or group needs.The only exception to this is the induction course, which all HYPER GEN CONT employees and subcontractors must attend prior to undertaking any task on the mitigation measures of water logging problems.4.6.1.1 Management/Staff Safety Training and InstructionHYPER GEN CONT Training and EHS Departments will liaise with the project team to ensure continuous development of staff knowledge and training through: Ensuring induction courses are mandatory for all management staff to ensure that site-specific EHS requirements and planning are highlighted to the workforce. Mandatory EHS courses for line management. Training needs, licensing and certification requirements will be identified. Ensuring personal development. EHS Awareness Talks will be carried out throughout the contract. These will include reference to Client/Consultant specific instructions and explanation of the requirements of Method Statements/Risk Assessments. EHS reminders/posters will be issued on a regular basis4.6.1.2 Operative Training

For the purpose of this section, subcontractor (if any) employees shall be deemed to be employees of HYPER GEN CONT and will therefore be treated in a similar mannerThe attainment of the highest levels in EHS standards and quality of workmanship can only be as a result of every individual employee fully understanding what is required of them. Education will therefore play an important part in the overall EHS Plan.Every employee will, before commencing work on the project receive anEHS/Security Induction Session. It is intended that in addition to statutory requirement for First Aid Trained Personnel HYPER GEN CONT shall train as many employees as practical in Basic Life Saving Skills (Emergency Aid).HYPER GEN CONT will undertake training needs analysis of employees to establish training requirements.On an ongoing basis all employees will be given 'toolbox talks' which will be used to highlight items of current and future safe working practices.4.6.1.3General Health and Safety Promotion

The well-being and good health of the workforce is valuable not only in terms of reducing loss to the individual, but also for the overall 'health' of the contract.EHS promotion campaigns using such items as posters, handbills, pay-packet enclosures and video presentations will be used. The resources of interest groups such as: Action on Smoking and Health, etc. will also be Used. 4.6.1.4Training Skills

During the course of the contract, employees in addition to any training requirement of HYPER GEN CONT are assessed for training needs by their immediate supervisors or managers.The skill level obtained by the individual will be assessed against the skill requirement of the post held, e.g.: Skill Engineers/Foremen involved in excavations that are required to carry out surveys for underground services.4.6.1.5Life Saving Skills

The project shall at appropriate times, organize Emergency First Aid Training sessions. The aim of the session will be to equip the employee (or staff member) with such Theoretical and practical knowledge that he might attend an injured person until the arrival of a Qualified First Aider or the Emergency Services.4.6.1.6Fire Prevention

The project will develop a program of in-house fire prevention training, including practical training sessions.The Fire Safety Plan will detail requirements such as: Statutory documentation required e.g. Fire certificates, registers etc. Appointment of Fire Safety Coordinator and Fire Wardens Fire warden duties and inspection regime Provision and location of portable fire fighting appliances Hot work arrangements Frequency of fire drills Methods of fire and smoke Limitation of storage of combustible materials detection(Ref # AD EHSMS RF- ELEMENTS 05)(Attached: Appendix 6.3; HSE Training Matrix and list of Competent Person)4.6.2 EHS Induction TrainingIt is mandatory for all employees on project to attend the health, safety, environmental and security induction of which the purpose is to explain and inform: The employee of the project details. The corporate culture of the managements commitment to health and safety. The part the employer and employee must play to ensure a safe working environment as required by The AD EHSMS The major hazards on the project. Site emergency procedures. Project health and safety objectives. The education and training programme. Project specific health and safety booklet. Site security arrangements. mandatory site procedures Welfare arrangements. Near-miss, substandard practice and condition reporting. accident/incident reporting Skills training requirements. Tool box talk requirements. Working adjacent to moving plant/equipment. Working at height. Working adjacent to water. Working adjacent to cranes. Working adjacent to live traffic. Electrical safety. Personal protective equipment. Health and safety incentives program. Behavioral observation program. Proactive performance measurement. Sources of health and safety information.

Note: This list is not exhaustive and will be added to as necessary.Following the main induction, the employee will on arrival at his designated worksite receive a local site specific or top up induction from the foreman or his nominated delegate.The purpose of this top up induction is to ensure the employee is aware of: local fire precautions local emergency evacuation arrangements site layout, work areas, access restrictions local conditions in respect of work permits any other subject as determined by the Team LeaderAttendance at both inductions shall be formally recorded and audited on a regular basis.Top up induction records to be forwarded to the health and safety department.

The foreman will advise the EHS Department when operatives leave site to ensure that there is no loss of skill training levels.4.6.2.1Staff Inductions

When a member of staff joins the Contract they shall, before any other duty attend the EHS and Security Induction Session. The Project Manager or his delegate shall, following the induction session, conduct the new member of staff on a familiarization tour of the site on which the team member will be working. The Project Manager shall ensure that any additional requirements for EHS /briefings (e.g. working near airports, highways) are undertaken by the new member of staff before they commence on work requiring the additional training The Project Manager must ensure that the new member is aware and briefed on emergency evacuation plans and procedures and that all staff is re briefed should these plans and procedures change. The EHS Officer shall ensure that all required Induction Training is recorded. The signature of the inductee has to be obtained confirming that the training has been received. The will advise The EHS Officer when staff leave site to ensure that there is no loss of skill training levels.(Ref -Attached# Appendix 6.4 HSE Formats -Site Safety InductionForm Control Code No: ARC/HSE/01)

4.6.3 Tool Box Talk

All construction operatives and field staff will be given regular EHS Briefings or 'Tool Box Talk' by the employee's immediate Supervisor; this may range from the ganger to the foreman. The subject matter may be on a subject relevant to the work about to be undertaken, or from a library of topics held by The EHS Department and issued to discipline Engineers/foreman. They will also be given briefings on the hazards and risks involved in carrying out the task in hand which includes the risk assessment. Attendance at these briefings will be recorded for auditing purposes. The toolbox talk shall be delivered by persons competent and shall be in a language appropriate to the work force.(Ref -Attached # Appendix 6.4 HSE Formats -EHS Training Attendance sheet-Form Control Code No 2)4.7 EHSAccidents/Incidents 4.7.1 Investigation ProceduresAccident/Incident investigation is a part of every EHS program. The purpose for investigations is often poorly understood. As a result, they can degenerate into a finger-pointing, blame fixing and fault finding exercise, which seldom determines the real reason for what happened or arrive at any effective solutions to the problem involved.Effective investigations must be able to: Describe exactly what happened Determine the immediate, basic and root cause Develop adequate controls to prevent recurrence Priorities conclusions and recommendations with close out dates

It is the intention that, not only will loss-making accidents/incidents be investigated, but also any incident, which has the potential to cause harm/loss.Line Management assisted by the EHS Officer will carry out investigation. Where appropriate and determined by the Project Manager the investigation may be led by an Independent Manager.All statutory and contractual reports concerning accidents/incidents are completed in accordance with ADM EHSMS or Consultants requirements. Refer Appendix 3 for Form G Entity EHS Incident Reporting consisting of Part A and Part B for Notification and Investigation respectively. Where appropriate, in the view of line management, the results of the investigations will be communicated to relevant personnel on site in order to educate and prevent recurrence. The area of Accident/Incident Analysis is in the view of HYPER GEN CONT and area of importance not only in respect of judging defects within the management system, but also as a tool for preventing recurrence of the situation. The purpose of all investigations/inquiries is to establish the immediate, basic and root causes of the event, so that recurrence can be prevented. All the Accident/Incident is investigated by the competent persons and appropriate remedial actions identified. The procedures shall review of all incident and incidents reports from subcontractors or other parties involved on the project.The investigation should ensure the following for proper investigation:a. Check the condition of accident site/equipment involved.b. Check the activities at the scene of accident /incident.c. Check environment/equipment and preserve physical evidences.d. Interview people: injured, witnessed, supervisors, those directly involved.e. Verify statement & resolve anomalies, and identify leads.f. Peruse leads.g. Take picture of the area if allowed/permitted.h. Check the contributory factors.i. Establish the sequences of critical events, underlying causes and its consequences.j. Record and disseminate the investigation of the investigation to prevent recurrence. k. The safety officer will submit a monthly safety report to the Management giving detail of all lost work day cases (LWDC), lost time day, occupational fatalities and subsequent lost work day case rate statistic. The monthly report will include the occupational disease cases and the cost estimate of materials and equipment losses due to accident. This report will include the summary of the safety deficiencies revealed by safety inspection and audits tours, give a summary to the main causes of the accident during the month and corrective action to be considered for achievements during the next Month.l. Frequency Rate (FR) = Number of Lost Time Injuries x 106Total man Hours Worked Severity Rate (SR) = Number of Lost Days x 106 Total Man Hours Workedm. In addition to the above, the site clinic shall maintain a record of all injuries that require treatment including first aid or illness.n. All lost work days caused by injuries shall be investigated by safety and line management and will be submitted to the client. Each report must include the measure taken to prevent recurrence of similar injuries at all the project work sites. Potentially serious incident shall also be reported in this same manner.

4.7.2Accident /Incident /Near Miss ReportingThe purpose of this procedure is to report EHS performance and incidents to internal stakeholders and relevant external authorities and keep a record of the same. a) ScopeThis procedure is mandatory and applies to all operations/activities carried out across ADM Project.b) Reporting

An immediate oral report shall be made to the HYPER GEN CONT site management & client representative in case of the following:a. All fatal injuriesb. All injuries requiring medical attention.c. All damage in any amount to client property.d. All damage in any amount to companys equipment or property.e. Accident/Incident/Near Misses.Reporting of accident / incident / near miss will be encouraged among the workforce through tool box talks and safety notice board etc.

4.7.3 Reporting Route

The following diagram shows the reporting route to be followed by projects/contracts for the reporting of accidents, incidents and environmental incidents to the Central EHS Team:

(Ref# AD EHSMS RF-Element 07)4.8 CommunicationTwo of the most important and influential factors of an effective EHS Plan are: Evidence of a strong management commitment to EHS. Frequent close contacts between management, workers and supervisors on matters of EHS.

4.8.1Regular and periodic meetings

The AD EHSMS require employers to consult with the workforce on EHS matters and the project management considers the input of the operative at the work face to be invaluable. Project management shall therefore consult with the appointed health and safety representatives, supervisors and operatives to ensure safe working practices are developed and maintained, and a means of establishing job orientated training and 'corrective coaching' when sub-standard work practices or conditions are observed.First Line Supervision will aim to undertake relevant 'tool box talks' and briefings on an agreed frequent basis.

4.8.1.1Planned Personal Contacts/Behavioral Observations

During health and safety Tours/Inspections, the staff member undertaking the Tour or Inspection shall take time to make contact with operatives and discuss EHS matters on a coaching basis.

The personal contact will include a discussion on the task being undertaken by the operative and the health and safety matters relevant to that task.

4.8.1.2 Safety Circle

A formal discussion group shall be convened with the 'operative' workforce to discuss all aspects of health and safety on the project as set out below: To be held in each section on a monthly basis To be chaired by an off line manager Cross-section of site personnel required with 6-8 people representing for example one (section) engineer, one charge hand, one scaffolder, one steel fixer, one carpenter, one general operative, one plant operative, etc. The action list with names of responsible staff and dates is to be published (within each section) within 48 hours of the meeting. Only health, safety, and welfare matters are to be discussed.(Action List to be reviewed by Chairman, Project Manager and EHS Officer). The primary aim is to obtain constructive or critical 'feedback' as to the performance of The EHS Management System and other EHS related matters. The secondary aim is to ensure that Management's commitment to EHS is understood. Feedback will be passed to the Project Manager and EHS Officer.

4.8.1.3 Meetings

The inclusion of EHS as the first item of every management meeting is seen as one way of establishing health and safety as an integral part of the site management.It shall be the duty of The Project Manager to act as chairman for the monthly health and safety forum.The forum will include senior managers from all parties concerned including main subcontractors and representatives from the Client/Consultant. The object of The forum will be to review EHS issues on The project and if deemed necessary appointing working parties or steering groups to provide ways of ensuring continuous improvement in EHS issues.4.8.1.4 Disciplinary Procedure

Should the event occur whereby employees of HYPER GEN CONT or other companies on site refuse to obey the instructions or directives to ensure effectiveness of The EHS Management System, this will be regarded by the project management as gross misconduct.Such an event will result in the invoking of The Disciplinary Procedure as agreed under The UAE Labour Laws.Details of this procedure can be obtained, on request, from The HYPER GEN CONT HR Department.As a general policy, 'corrective coaching' shall be employed, wherever possible to achieve an atmosphere of positive attitude and trust so that the true causes of accidents or incidents can be ascertained and corrective actions taken. It is recognized that in some cases, disciplinary action will be the best means of 'coaching'.In The event of any operative's refusal to work on The grounds of an unsafe condition, The Supervisor shall immediately contact the health and safety officer who will conduct an assessment of the condition. Following the assessment, a report (prepared by the EHSofficer and the supervisor) will be submitted immediately to The Project Manager for resolution.Under no circumstances must a refusal to work on the grounds of unsafe conditions be followed up or resolved by disciplinary proceedings.

4.8.1.5 Client/Consultant Co-operation

HYPER GEN CONT recognizes the important role, which the Client/Consultant can undertake in the effective management of EHS on the project.HYPER GEN CONT shall communicate on a regular basis with the Client/Consultant and his agents as to the performance of The EHS Management System. HYPER GEN CONT shall invite its Client/Consultant to participate in: safety tours and inspections safety audits accident/incident investigations

The Client/Consultant shall be invited at all the times to comment on the contractors EHS System, bearing in mind that its contractors legal obligation to manage the works in a safe manner.The Project EHS officer shall frequently meet with the Client/Consultant and/or his agents health and safety representatives in order that mutual understanding and agreement can be reached on the elimination and control of site hazards.HYPER GEN CONT will co-operate fully with any EHS initiatives recommended by the Client/Consultant.4.8.2Site EHS Alerts and Notice Boards

HYPER GEN CONT shall set up and maintain throughout the course of the contract, EHS Notice boards for the use of his labour force. EHS Notice boards should: Be set up in prominent locations on the site that are clearly visible to the HYPERGEN CONTs employees and anyone entering the works. Such locations can be site office/meeting area/lunch room/first aid station area etc.

contain all relevant emergency and contact numbers required for the contract be fully illustrated with relevant EHS signage showing precautions required Be safely supported and suitably placed to withstand bad weather conditions e.g. Strong winds HYPER GEN CONTs staff and labor force shall be made fully aware of the safety signs and the emergency contact information, prior to commencing duties on site.EHS Statistics Board showing following information will be displayed at site: Project Commencement date No. of employees Man hours worked Man hours worked without LTA Total no. of LTA

4.8.3Sign and Slogans

The Regulations cover a variety of methods of communicating health and safety information in addition to the traditional safety sign or signboard. The terms used for the purpose include following: safety and/or health sign a sign providing information or instruction about safety or health at work by means of a signboard, a colour, an illuminated sign or acoustic signal, a verbal communication or hand signal; Signboard a sign which provides information or instructions by a combination of shape, colour and a symbol or pictogram which is rendered visible by lighting of sufficient intensity. In practice many signboards may be accompanied by supplementary text (eg Fire exit alongside the symbol of a moving person). Signboards can be of the following types:

Prohibition sign a sign prohibiting behaviour likely to increase or cause danger (e.g. no access for unauthorised persons); such signs have red background colour.Warning sign a sign giving warning of a hazard or danger (e.g. danger: electricity); such signs have yellow background colour.Mandatory sign a sign prescribing specific behaviour (e.g. eye protection must be worn); such signs have blue background colour.

Emergency escape or first-aid sign sign giving information on emergency exits, first aid, or rescue facilities (eg emergency exit/escape route. Note: signs complying with BS 5499 or equivalent are also acceptable), such signs have green background colour.

4.8.4Rewards, Incentives, Recognition & Discipline

Safety Incentive Program has been introduced in HYPER GEN CONT for doing a good job, free from personal injury and the pain and suffering that comes with it. To do this, there is a need to change the way a person thinks about or look at safe practices and procedures. These practices and procedures are not put in place to make the work harder or longer, but they are in place to keep everyone from getting hurt. It is all part of the way a person act, on and off the job.The work team, wherever they are at, must stop using sayings such as thats the way weve always have done it, or if its my time, then its my time. Further, Safety must not be priority, but rather a basic value. Priorities can be shifted or changed. Safe work practices and procedures must never be compromised. They are always part of the unwritten code that is part of all that we do, no matter what the situation.4.8.4.1 Program:

a. This program provides recognition to those individuals, who take charge and improve safe working environment. These individuals will be assessed based on the practices like: 1.

An inspection is a Proactive Measure,One of the purposes of health and safety inspections is to show visible evidence to the workforce of management commitment and involvement in the support of the EHS Management System on the project.Every opportunity should be taken during the inspection to give recognition to good working practices when observed.Good working practices should be recorded and comments made to the Operative, Foreman or Works Manager involved.Any substandard practices or conditions observed should be noted and remedial action instigated. EHS inspections are also a valuable tool to assess hazards and risks before accidents and other losses occur.They must be carried out independently of any other management function and at the defined frequency (see planned inspection matrix).An Engineer/Foreman/Charge hand/Ganger should accompany the EHS Officer on his inspections. Overall purposes of EHS inspections are to: Identify potential problems Identify equipment deficiencies Identify improper employee actions Demonstrate management commitment Prevent Accident/Incidents happeningCopies of EHS inspection reports are to be sent to the EHS Department who will publish a monthly report recording the level of compliance with inspection requirements.Any substandard practices or conditions on the inspection report will be extracted and put on to a database for analysis. A monthly report will be produced to ascertain any trends identified.4.9.1.1 Inspection of Third Party InterfacesWhere there is a safety related interface with 3rd parties the Project Manager will make arrangements for recorded joint inspections of these interfaces to be carried out as deemed necessary.
