a) b) Act CONTRACTOR SAFETY MANAGEMENT STANDARD 1, OBJECTIVE 1.1 PuRPOsE The ongoing role of Contractors in our Industry has meant that the task of managing Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) at our operations/Offices has become more complex. This standard defines the requirements for Contractor Safely Management (CSM) which each ACC Ltd (ACC) site must apply when ‘out sourcing services to contractors. This standard outlines the requirements for ensuring that adequate processes are developed and implemented to control or minimize the risks associated with contracted activities. 41.2 Scope This standard must be applied when an ACC site, out-sources any project or service to a contractor both inside and/or outside its Operations. The requirement of this standard addresses each phase within the life cycle of services being contracted. This standard does not apply to supply contracts. 1.3 DEFINITIONS Contractor — Is deemed as a Company or an individual who is not a Company ‘employee but has been directly engaged by ACC to carry out work at an ACC facility. This means the work must be in relation to activities over which ACC has control or would have had control as it is deemed necessary for ACC to fulfill ts business activities by: The service being contracted is performed within the geographic/ lease boundaries of an ACC operation/ facilty/ site; The location or areas in which the service is to be performed has been determined by ACC; and The contracted work is solely for ACC and not part of free trade arrangement Categories of Contracted Services - For the purpose of this Standard, Contracts being issued will form one of the following four categories. Categories of Contractors Common Potential Risk ‘AGC Gontactor Safety Standard Page 10f27 ACE Examples Exposure Category 4 - Individuals engaged | Office cleaners Low to Moderate ‘on temporary contracts to work ‘Administration Staff within existing operations.

INTRODUCTION ACC approach to contractor safely management consists of two distinct elements, Management of Contractors & Contract Management, which aims to address the mechanisms which are consistently applied to the management of all contractors as well as detail specific requirements which need to be addressed in each specific contract. Therefore, this standard is structured to address the following: ‘ACC Contactor Safety Standard Page 5 of 27 Act Management of Contractors This section defines the common arrangements which are needed to enable ACC to collectively manage its OH&S obligations between the company and its contractors. This section aims to address the following: Frame work for the prequalification and approval of contractors based on the type of work to be outsourced. Methods to maintain communication and consultation on matters relating to OHBS. Provisions for consultation with, instructing and training contractors in both general and specific OH&S requirements of ACC. Regular Audits and review programs of each contractor's OH&S performance to ensure ongoing compliance and improvements in OH&S. Contract Management This section describes the specific OH&S requirements which need to be addressed with each contracted service being outsourced. The section aims to address the following: Preparation of a clear scope of work for each individual contract identifying the hazards, controls and Company's OH&S requirements relevant to the service being outsourced, Assignment of adequate resources by both parties to ensure that OH&S obligations are being implemented and maintained by both parties. The establishment, application and maintenance of processes to ensure that appropriate instruction, training and information on OH&S are maintained throughout the life of the contract. Regular inspection and acceptance of works undertaken by the contractor to ensure that the OH&S aspects of the work are compliant and that any new hazards created as a result of the work are appropriately controlled. ‘The establishment, application and maintenance of standardized methods for evaluating each contractor's OH&S performance to determine if the contractor will be used in the future. ‘ACC Contactor Safety Standard Page 6 of 27 MANAGEMENT OF CONTRACTORS: This section details the requirements which need to be implemented to enable the Company to demonstrate that it has established appropriate methods to coordinate and control the range of services which it will outsource including the inherent risks involved with those services. 4.1 PRE-QUALIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF CONTRACTOR The pre-qualification and approval of a contractor is based on the format which is enclosed as Annexure 1: Prequalification Questionnaire. All the required details in the format are filled by the contractors. This data is analyzed for qualifying or disqualifying the contractor based on the prefixed controlling points and related marks. Contractors who adequately demonstrate that they can comply with the relevant Statutory Acts & Rules and Company's OH&S requirements will be recorded as an "Approved Contractor” and be qualified to tender for services within their approved type of works. The prequalification of each contractor will be valid for the following period from the date of approval: Approved Contractors in Category 1 and 2 must re-qualify every 3 years. Approved Contractors in Category 3 and 4 must re-qualify every 12 months. Note: In the event a contractor does not adequately satisfy the prequalification requirements, ACC can issue an OH&S variance in which ACC accepts the OHS obligations of the contractor and defines how OH&S will be managed by ACC on behalf of the contractor. ‘The Contract Custodian must maintain a register of all approved contractors. The register will record the following information as a minimum: Contracting Company name Type of work approvel Category of Contractors required Name of the Contractor custodian and Contract supervisor where relevant.
