1 INTRODUCTION

This Community Health, Safety and Security Plan (CHSSP) describes Duqm Refinery and
Petrochemical Industries Company LLC (“DRPIC”), or COMPANY, approach to protecting the
health, safety and security of the public related to its activities.

Some of the COMPANY activities will likely have an interaction with surrounding communities
and infrastructure, including:

 Increased road and infrastructure traffic, including heavy haul vehicles

 Site security
 General and Right of Way Safety of communities
 Communicable diseases
 Work area or facility exclusion zones

Potential impact associated with the interaction of the workforce with local communities and
and Construction Camps is also covered under the Worker Influx Management Plan (PLN-
1400-0000-015).

The Project Environmental and Social Impact Assessments identify specific requirements on
mitigating impacts on community health, safety and security; these requirements are
incorporated in the management actions within this document and within applicable contracts.

Contractors working for Company are required to have Community Health, Safety and Security
Plans and procedures which are aligned with Company’s expectations and requirements.

1.1 Scope

The scope of this document covers the execution phase (construction and commissioning) of
Duqm Refinery Project and associated facilities i.e.
 Crude Oil Storage Facility (Ras Markaz);
 28” Crude Oil pipeline from Ras Markaz to Duqm Refinery;
 Duqm Refinery. Process and Utilities & Offsites;
 Duqm Product Terminal.

This plan will be updated prior to Operations.

The scope of the Community Health, Safety and Security Plan (CHSSP) addresses
Company's commitment to:
 Mitigate potential impacts of Project related activities that may affect the health, safety
and security of communities within the Project area and along the transportation
route;
 Maintain a healthy workforce and labour pool in the community;
 Contribute to the improved health and wellbeing of the local community in the Project
area.
The Community Health, Safety and Security Plan (CHSSP) will be implemented at the
beginning of the construction phase and continue to the end of the Project.

The necessary control measures and CHSSP will be adapted in response to the risks identified
during the Project lifecycle.

Potential impacts such as dust generation, atmospheric emissions, transportation of

hazardous materials and environmental noise are not covered in detail within this plan; see
the Pollution Prevention Plan (PLN-1400-0000-007). Environmental Monitoring (e.g. ambient
air monitoring) is described in the Environmental Monitoring Plan (PLN-1400-0000-012).

2 POLICY & LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Corporate Objectives

Duqm Refinery is committed to conducting our business operations successfully while

recognising our responsibilities to our personnel, the environment and the wider society in
which we operate. We believe a significant factor in our success is to operate our business
activities sustainably, while safeguarding our people, the environment and the way of life of
local communities.
Additionally, the Corporate Security Policy indicates that we will “conduct our activities in a
legitimate manner that avoids or minimizes risks to community’s security and human rights.”

2.2 Omani Legislative Requirements

The main national regulatory instruments relating to Community Health, Safety and Security
are referenced in Appendix 1.

Requirements for reporting of infectious diseases are specified in Royal Decree No. 73/92
which stipulates using Ministry of Health forms within a specified timeframe depending on the
nature of the disease.

Periodic medical examination should be carried out for staff in accordance with MD 286/2008.

Check that staff exposed to biotic hazards are vaccinated and all medical examination records
are properly filed.

Employer should provide medical examination whenever the employee moved from one job
to another and keep all his/her medical reports.

Accommodation should undergo sterilisation and pest control to fight various kinds of insects
and rodents and keep the records of the results.

2.3 International Guidelines

International guidelines applicable to the Project are derived largely from the requirements of
export credit agencies providing financing to DRPIC and therefore rely on the Equator
Principles. The Equator Principles refer to the IFC Sustainability Framework and its
Performance Standards as “the then applicable standards” under Principle 3. Additionally,
international conventions such as those by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
apply.

IFC Performance Standard 4 and Guidance Note 4 deal with Community Health, Safety and
Security.

4.3 Right of Way (RoW) Safety

The right of way for the 28” Ras Markaz to Duqm Refinery Crude Pipeline travels from the
tank farm boundary for approximately 80 km to Duqm Refinery, primarily on the eastward
side of the main road through SEZAD.

The length of continuous open trench (including trench with pipe installed but not backfilled
and with a void space greater than 1 m) will depend on potential risks to population in the
vicinity of the work area and the local layout or drainage pattern. Longer trenches may be
excavated in uninhabited areas with no drainage constraints as compared to inhabited areas.
Where required, in inhabited areas crossing points will be provided at regular intervals across
excavated areas of the pipeline.

 Contractor shall undertake pre-construction surveys to assess third party / community

infrastructure, sensitivities and constraints and develop a detailed KM by KM safety
and security plan and mapping.
 At locations where it is necessary to provide public access across the trench, safe
trench crossings will be constructed. Warning signs and barricades will be erected
around the trench. In populated areas adequate warning lights will be provided during
the hours of darkness.
 Crossing points shall be communicated to the local community
 Barricading around the entire length of any open trench through mounding (where
trench safety allows) or other un-removable physical barriers
 Where blasting is to be undertaken, advance notification to communities is required
 Prior to blasting activities, the area shall be secured and monitored for a defined period
of time before and after the blast to ensure no people or animals are in the area.
 Project drivers will be briefed so they understand the importance of ensuring free
access and egress to community infrastructure and services.
 Project risk assessments shall consider community health, safety and security.

4.4 Life and Fire Safety

Under IFC guidelines, the design, construction and operation of all new buildings which are
accessible to the public shall be in accordance with building codes, fire regulations and
legal/insurance requirements.
All permanent buildings to be constructed as part of Duqm Refinery Project are designed to
appropriate regulations and standards. However, during construction of Duqm Refinery
Project, Company and Contractor buildings will not be generally accessible to the public. In
the limited cases where members of the public may access project buildings, they will receive
instruction and guidance by Company or Contractor in fire safety and life protection in the
event of an emergency situation while they are present in the building.

4.5 Traffic Safety

CONTRACTOR’s Community Health, Safety and Security Implementation Plan shall include
detailed traffic management measures that address the risk of accidents occurring during

construction that involve communities, people and their animals. CONTRACTOR shall
implement the following commitments and prepare a Traffic Management Plan (integrated with
the other CONTRACT requirements) which will comply with the following requirements:

 The contractor will be expected to use the designated access roads and to apply for
Company consent to use any new or existing roads not designated for Project use.
 Where traffic is diverted around crossings, traffic control or careful selection of the exit
from the working areas will be provided with the aim of ensuring that vehicles join the
road in a safe manner.
 Temporary traffic control (e.g. flagmen) and signs will be provided where necessary to
improve safety and provide directions.
 Temporary traffic control measures will be employed at road crossings and junctions
(flagmen, temporary traffic lights) where a safety risk assessment has identified traffic
control measures will reduce the risk of traffic accidents.
 The selection of any further access roads to Project working areas will aim to avoid
sensitive receptors such as centres of communities, hospitals, clinics and schools (as
well as ecologically sensitive areas) as far as practicable
 The Project will provide buses to transport non-resident workers between camps and
the construction sites.
 Traffic management measures will be developed and implemented with the aim of
minimising impact to communities.
 Community Liaison Officers (CLOs) appointed by the Contractor will participate in, or
deliver safety awareness training / information to local children and their parents and/or
their teachers, particularly with regards to of road traffic, construction sites and open
excavations.

CONTRACTOR’s Traffic Management Plan shall also include a journey risk management
study, to be agreed with COMPANY, which details the following:
 Access roads / routes to be used by CONTRACTOR
 Identification of constraints along each route such as all third party crossings, schools,
livestock crossings etc.
 Additional mitigation measures such as restriction on driving hours, speed limits etc.
based on transport risk assessments
 Road safety systems such as In Vehicle Management Systems (IVMS) with geo-
fencing capability shall be used as per Contract requirements to ensure compliance

4.7 Disease Prevention

Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) and Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) will be conducted
by the Project to assess the potential health effects on both the workforce and the local
community population and other stakeholders who may be impacted by the Company’s
activities at operational sites.

NOTE: In addition to possible negative health effects on local communities, the execution of
Duqm Refinery Project development and other projects within Duqm area has the potential for
positive health impacts for local communities as a result of, for example:
 New and improved medical and healthcare facilities within SEZAD area as a whole;
 Improved medical assessment, surveillance and access to treatment of local
community persons employed on Duqm Refinery Project.
 Increased awareness on the prevention of communicable diseases.

Worker Health

The influx of a large number of temporary, mainly immigrant, construction workers into the
Duqm Area has the potential for increased transmission of communicable and non-
communicable diseases both within the workforce and between the workforce and local
communities.

CONTRACTORS and subcontractors shall be required to implement appropriate mitigation

measures to prevent or minimize the potential for occurrence and spread of diseases and
illnesses. Measures will include:
 Fully equipped medical clinics staffed with trained medical personnel at each of the
main project sites.
 Provision of high quality temporary accommodation with hot / cold running water and
appropriate ablution facilities.
 Implementation of effective food and water hygiene standards.
 Pre-employment medical screening and regular medical surveillance of all contractors
and subcontractors personnel working in Duqm and other remote areas.
