8 Safety and environment COORDINATION

COORDINATIONThe work of contractors must be coordinated with other activities in order to create safe working conditions. This is done by means of a special coordination meeting before work commences. New coordination must take place in the event of replanning.

COORDINATION MEETINGThe coordination meeting focuses on any risks involved in the work to be carried out and on coordinating the temporary work with the regular activities and surrounding area. It is important for the coordination meeting to be planned in plenty of time before work commences and for all participants to take responsibility for their part of coordination.

THE CONTRACTOR MUST:- Contact the coordinator in order to book a coordination

meeting. Contact details are available from the client.- Take along conditions, instructions, and information on risks

involved in the specific task (contractors risk assessment) to the coordination meeting.

- Notify its own staff and subcontractors of the risks, measures, rules, and decisions reviewed at the coordination meeting, if these people do not take part in the meeting.

- Request the approval of the client and coordinator to be allowed to engage any subcontractors.

- Comply with the instructions issued by the coordinator.- Sign in and out whenever working at the site in accordance

with the agreement made at the coordination meeting.

9Safety and environment COORDINATION

THE FOLLOWING RULES ARE APPLICABLE TO THE COORDINATION MEETING:- The coordinator, the contractor, and any subcontractors

must participate.- A joint review must take place of local safety information

for the work area.- A work permit for works performed in common work areas

are to be drawn up and signed by all persons concerned.- A decision must be made regarding which measures are

required before work commences in order to intercept any new coordination risks or other risks involved with the work in the area.

- Decisions must be made on working hours, who is to carry out the work, and how people are to sign in and out.

- If work is to be performed where there is an electrical hazard (close to, next to or on), Sandvik’s electrical opera-tions manager, or someone designated by the electrical operations manager, must take part in the coordination meeting. Sandvik’s Electrical Safety Guidelines and ESA Industri & Installation, edition 1 must be followed.

Coordination meetings for repetitive tasks, such as cleaning or recurring maintenance work, will be held at each work area when the assignment begins and every time the assignment is changed. If the work involves particular risks, a specified person must be contacted in plenty of time before work commences in order to check facts so that work can take place safely.

10 Safety and environment TRAFFIC

TRAFFIC Special traffic rules apply within the industrial area. The fenced-in industrial area has several exceptions and differences compared to customary traffic rules. This document refers to the most important differences. The local traffic regulations can be found in their entirety in the site manual.

A basic precautionary principle applies within the industrial area. This means that all road users (drivers, cyclists and pedestrians) have an obligation to use precaution at all times and that regular traffic rights cannot be invoked inside the area in the same way as outside of the area.

Neither major road nor right-of-way rules exist in the area. Traveling more quickly than will allow you to stop for any obstacles or other road users is never permitted.

The safety approach is based on attentiveness, interplay and observance of the greatest possible prudence in all encounters and interactions between road users.

GENERAL INFORMATION- The speed limit at the industrial site is 30 km/h.

Lower speed limits occur.- Hidden exits, indistinct areas and traffic coming

out through gates are common within the area. - Pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle traffic at loading

sites and goods storage points is prohibited unless necessary for performing work.

- Keep your distance and make sure that you are visible. Always use high-visability clothing outdoors in the

industrial area.- Drivers of vehicles must immediately stop when ordered to

do so by security guards or red lights, or when emergency vehicles are called out.

11Safety and environment TRAFFIC

- Contractors’ vehicles must be clearly labeled with a company name/logo.

- Idling is permitted for no more than 1 minute.- Traffic violations will be recorded and may result in withdrawal

of the vehicular access permit.

PARKINGVehicles may only be parked in designated parking areas. Parking is prohibited elsewhere. Parking spaces are available with engine preheater sockets with free access, but designated parking bays (service vehicles, company cars, visitors, disabled spaces, etc.) are intended for the users for whom they are designated. Visitor parking spaces are provided for internal and external short-term visitors, for part of the day.

Bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles must be parked in designated racks. Vehicles may not be driven onto work premises or into other buildings on the industrial site. Permits to bring vehicles required for the work onto the site may be issued at the coordination meeting in exceptional cases.

FORKLIFT TRAFFIC- Forklift traffic is very frequent.- Show great consideration to forkilft transports.

Forklifts require space to operate – have foresight, keep your distance and make sure you are visible.

- Forklift trucks are heavily loaded with projecting or wide loads which have no warning signs or lighting.

- Forklift truck drivers generally have limited visibility, and it is important to remember that forklifts often require a long braking distance and sometimes have unsecured loads.

12

PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTSPedestrians and cyclists move around on the site and cross roads. Be alert and try to make eye contact. Cyclists and pedestrians in the area are always obliged to give way to vehicles when crossing roads. At marked thoroughfares, however, vehicles on the road have a similar obligation always to be able to stop for people who have already started crossing the road. Designated footpaths and bicycle routes and designated crossing points in the area are to be used wherever possible.

RAIL TRAFFICThere is intersecting rail traffic on site, and some crossings are unmonitored. Rail traffic always has right of way.

CLEARANCEMedia routes for both risky and valuable media intersect roads at several locations on site. Clearance may vary.

TRAFFIC INSURANCEMotor vehicles must hold traffic insurance.

Remember that forklift trucks and trains can appear very quickly and that these vehicles have a limited chance of stopping.

Safety and environment LIABILITY AND INSURANCE POLICIES

LIABILITY AND INSURANCE POLICIESRESPONSIBILITYSandvik accepts no liability for damage/injury beyond what is required according to mandatory Swedish law. No compensation will be paid by Sandvik for damage/injuries occurring due to the specific conditions which may prevail on the industrial site or

REPORTING OF ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTSAccidents and incidents must be reported immediately to your own supervisor and your coordinator at Sandvik.

Prevent accidents by always reporting accidents and incidents occurring, as well as observed risks.

ALARMSThere are several different types of alarm at Sandvik. Most alarms are linked to Sandvik’s own alarm center, which alerts the relevant resources. Alarms are often supplemented with signs which explain what they relate to.

FIRE ALARMSAre present throughout or in parts of many workshop premises and office premises. These alarms can be triggered automatically by heat and smoke, or manually by means of special red alarm buttons (secondary fire alarm boxes). When an alarm is triggered,

16 Safety and environment ALARMS

a signal sounds at regular intervals together with a red light. Evacuate the premises and go to an assembly point.

EVACUATION ALARMSTriggered automatically via the fire alarm or manually via separate green alarm buttons, marked ”Utrymningslarm” [Evacuation alarm]. This alarm signal is similar to the fire alarm signal. Evacuate the premises and go to an assembly point.

LPG ALARMS (LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS)Are present in many of the workshops. When an LPG alarm is trig-gered, audible and visual signals are activated and safety valves shut off the LPG supply.

- Low alarm: Yellow pulsating light (rotating light) and audible signal with a steady or pulsating tone from a small siren.

Action: As per the instructions issued during the coordination meeting.

- High alarm: Red pulsating light (rotating light). Straight blasts from a powerful compressed air siren or electrical equivalent.
