Inspect the pipes stored on a reasonably flat surface free from large stones or sharp
projections.
Loading and unloading of pipes should be carried out by hand and use of skids should be
avoided
Pipes should not be dragged along a rough surface.
Extra care should be exercised in handling pipes to avoid damages.
Check work area is clean and safe to proceed for the installation & testing works.

9.0 HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT (HSE)
The Health Safety and Environment Project Management Plan institutes the overall mechanism for the
risk management processes with regard to the Project. Processes are implemented at the earliest
stages within the project cycle, identifying risk and facilitating an opportunity for the application of
appropriate mitigation strategies. As an integral part of the planning process, prior to the commencement
of any operational activity a suitable and sufficient specific assessment (RA) of the risks associated with
the works should be undertaken.
Starting instructions will be given by the supervisors at the start of each activity to explain
the methodology of works and to communicate safe working procedures to the operatives.
These talks are structured in a way to highlight to major risks involved in the activity and
the various control measures required in order to minimize the risk. It is delivered in a
manner such as the key points that will be remembered by the operatives receiving it.
Toolbox talk meetings will be held for each crew, on group or employees, regarding more
general topics of the Project HSE Policy; for example, lessons learned, near-miss reports,
implementation of the requirements and message from the LBS management or
Employers HSE personnel.
Hard Hats
Safety Boots with ankle support and steel toe caps
Safety Goggles
High Visibility Vests / Overalls with integrated reflective strips
Hand gloves
Face Masks
A variety of mechanisms, such as method statement briefings and toolbox talks will be
implemented to ensure all relevant personnel is appropriately informed.
In addition to their safety induction received at their arrival on-site, all the workers will have a
toolbox meeting in order to be briefed about the risks of their specific work task, prior to the
start of works.
12.1 INTRODUCTION
As part of the development of the Organization’s Environmental Management System(s) the
significant issues that are faced both on-site and within offices or other facilities should be
addressed. This approach subsequently allows for a systematic focus upon the important
environmental aspects to be adopted which in turn facilitates prioritization of limited
resources
