6. Hazard & Effects Management PLAN (HEMP)

For all hazards a hazard management process must be undertaken. Establishing the
parameters of the process including the criteria by which hazards will be assessed. Staff and
contractors are to follow the hazard management model to ensure all hazards are identified,
assessed, controlled and evaluated for effectiveness. The level of risk is to be determined through
the risk assessment process and recommended control measures implemented.
Hazards are required to be identified, assessed and controlled:

when planning work processes

prior to purchase, hire, lease, commissioning or erection of plant or substances

whenever changes are made to the workplace, system or method of work, plant or
substances

Whenever new information becomes available regarding work processes, plant or
substances.

12
Mideast Data System L.L.C. HSE PLAN

Prior to any new process being undertaken or where a new hazard has been identified a risk
assessment must be completed to ensure that all risks are adequately controlled.

When all risks are adequately controlled or pose minimal risk no further action is required.
Should further control measures be required a full risk assessment must be completed. No
process should be undertaken unless adequate control measures are in place.

6.1 Identification of Hazard

This is the most important step in the risk management process. A hazard which is not identified
cannot be controlled. Accordingly, it is crucial that this step is as comprehensive as possible.
Hazard identification must be conducted in close consultation with the people performing the
activity.

6.2 Assessment of Risk

Once the hazards have been identified, the next step is to assess the risks using the chart below.
The Risk is the probability (likelihood) of harm or damage occurring from exposure to a hazard,
and the likely consequences of that harm or damage. The greater consequences, the greater risk.
Similarly the more certain the event, the greater the risk. Risk assessment is a process of analysis
and evaluation.

13

14
Mideast Data System L.L.C. HSE PLAN

6.3 Risk control Measure

Risk control Measure is a method of managing the risk with the primary emphasis on controlling
the hazards at source. For a risk that is assessed as “high”, steps should be taken immediately to
minimize risk of injury. The method of ensuring that risks are controlled effectively is by using the
“hierarchy of controls”. The Hierarchy of Controls is:

Control Example
Eliminate Removing the hazard, e.g. taking a hazardous piece of equipment out of service.
Substitute Replacing a hazardous substance or process with a less hazardous one, e.g.
substituting a hazardous substance with a non-hazardous substance.
Isolation Isolating the hazard from the person at risk, e.g. using a guard or barrier.
Engineering Redesign a process or piece of equipment to make it less hazardous.
Administrative Adopting safe work practices or providing appropriate training, instruction or
information.
Personal Protective The use of personal protective equipment could include using gloves, glasses,
Equipment (PPE) earmuffs, aprons, safety footwear, dust masks.

6.3 Comprehensive Risk Assessment

A comprehensive Risk Assessment has been done to conclude almost all the probable activities in
the project as has been attached as Appendix-I.

 MDS will develop procedures to ensure that task verification and workplace inspections are
carried out regularly to ensure that HSE management controls at each work locations are
effective and are being implemented.

 MDS procedure will also include measures aimed at improving HSE performance or
managing HSE risk.

 MDS will provide a list of all identified sub-contractors employed during execution of this
project.

 MDS will follow CLIENT permit to work system ensuring that everyone is well aware of
the hazards involved in their work, and of the precaution that they must take to work safely.

 MDS will identify all potential emergency scenario that might arise during the contract and
procedure typically used in such scenarios.

 Any other planning and procedure, which becomes visible during the project life cycle, will
also from the part of HSE manuals/handbook at the earliest possible.

 At the beginning of each work we do the following procedures:

1. Read to the employees the Risk assessment of this job at what is the hazard surrounded
with it.
2. Prepare and fill a CLIENT work permit form.
3. If there is any source of electricity we should apply the lock out- tag out- try out
systems, to ensure the zone is free electricity.
4. Ensure that all the tools are removed from the place of the work and the place is clean
after finishing.

9. Inspections & Audit

9.1 Definitions
Inspection
Routine inspection involving the checking of Tools, equipments, working practices, fire
precaution, fixed installations, etc., Safety Inspections are measure, compare, and define corrective
actions

Audit
A Planned, systematic and critical examination of activities, systems, procedures, and
installations to identify strengths and weaknesses at site in order to minimize loss. Corrective action
and improvement are critical components in verifying that the management system is working and
identifying areas for improvement. The HSE plan will schedule formal audits, regular monitoring
and measurement, and structured management reviews to ensure the continuing suitability,
adequacy and effectiveness of the management system. These reviews and audits will
incorporate any HSE concerns of employees, Subcontractors and external stakeholders.

MDS will be scheduled, as these audits are valuable in providing input on key-areas for
improvement, leading to progressively better HSE management. A protocol exists within CLIENT
for documenting audit results and remedial action plans that will be followed for
MDS.

9.2 Safety Inspections

Safety inspection is important for:

a vital part of hazard control

part of a proactive safety performance system

improve performance in other fields
 reliability
 productivity
 quality

fact finding not fault finding

9.2.1 MDS Levels of inspections:

We have different levels of inspection

10. Management Review

Deficiencies identified are reported to the appropriate person of MDS for immediate
corrective action. The modification of such deficiencies will be monitored directly by the safety
manager and the project manager. Immediately on completion of the audit, the auditor shall
verbally report any immediate action required to the site senior personnel.

The Manager will forward the results along with items that need action and recommend
rectifying the deficiencies noted to the Project Manager for corrective action.

Project Manager along with Safety Manager will ensure all deficiencies are rectified and
submit a response to the Manager indicating the corrective action taken, the date corrected and any
other details deemed necessary such as, who or what person corrected the unsafe condition.

Employees work habits and correct any and all unsafe acts observed and explain to the
employee what he was doing wrong and instruct / demonstrate the proper and safe way.

11. STOP
STOP stands for “Safety Training Observation Program”. The goal of STOP is to
eliminate incidents and injuries by addressing the safe and unsafe behaviors of people in the
workplace. The key to doing this is to modify behavior by observing people as they work and
talking with them to encourage safe work practices. Staff at all levels including Subcontractors
regularly makes safety observation programs.

STOP should be based on the following principles:

All Injuries and occupational illness can be prevented.

Safety is every one's responsibility.

Safety is a condition of employment.

Training is an essential element for safe workplaces.

Safety audits must be conducted.

Safe work practices should be reinforced and all unsafe acts and conditions must be
corrected promptly.

It is essential to investigate injuries and occupational illnesses, as well as incidents with
the potential for injury.

Safety off the job is an important element of the overall safety effort.

Preventing injuries and occupational illness is good business

People are the most critical element in the success of a safety and health program.
