9. Health & Safety

9.1 Risk Assessment Process Summary

 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
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 of the risks associated with the works should be undertaken.

9.2 Risk Assessments

 A variety of mechanisms, such as method statement briefings and toolbox talks will be
implemented to ensure all relevant personnel are appropriately informed. STARRT Card is
explained to all workmen before start of activity.

 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 start
of works.

 A detailed risk assessment is attached to this Method Statement.

9.3 General Work Instructions

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
will be remembered by the operatives receiving it.

Toolbox talk meetings will be held for each crew, on group of employees, regarding more general
topics of the Project HSE Policy; in example lesson learned, near miss reports, implementation of
the requirements and message from the management or Engineer’s HSE Officers.

10 Environmental Issues

10.1 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.

10.2 Definitions.

An environmental aspect can be defined as an element of an organization’s activities, products

and/or services that can interact with the environment.

In general, environmental issues arising from the construction activities covered in the scope of this
Method Statement are mainly:

- Dust generation impact

- Mud generation

- Contamination

- Water usage

- Waste management

- Noise pollution

10.3 MITIGATION MEASURES

 Plant and Machinery shall be visually inspected regularly and serviced whenever required.

 Roads shall be dumped by water spraying to reduce dust.

 Toolbox talks and care shall be taken to avoid excessive usage of water.

 Waste materials be disposed to designated area

 General housekeeping rules for all operatives shall be observed.

11. PERSONNEL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS

All workers will be issued and trained in use of the required PPE equipment to comply with contract
procedures and local regulations and will be supplemented with PPE as required by MSDS & Risk
assessments. This will include but will not be limited to;

 Hard Hats
 Safety Boots with ankle support and steel toe caps
 Safety Goggles
 High Visibility Vests / Overalls with integrated reflective strips
  Hand gloves
 Face Mask
 Disposal Cover all for concreting team

12. EMERGENCY AND UNDESIRED CONDITIONS

The following precautions have to be maintained to meet an Emergency or an undesired condition

on site.
1. Assembly point must be clearly identified & kept clear at all time.
2. All the work force has to be aware where to go to reach a place of safety or to get rescue
equipment in case of emergency. This shall be ensured in all toolbox talks.
3. Emergency direction signs and enough emergency exists are to be provided for everyone to
escape quickly and keep emergency door/walkways and escape routes are not obstructed
and clearly marked.
4. Nominate competent person to take control (a competent person is someone with the
necessary skills, knowledge and experience to manage emergency response procedure).
5. Sufficient first aiders and first aid box must be available at site.
6. Drinking water should be provided at a reasonable distance from the work location.
7. Sufficient number of fire ceasing (extinguisher) should be available at site with clear
identification.
8. Fire warden must be available at site. (DAC Certified) to plan essential action such as
emergency plant/work shutdown, isolation or making process safe.
9. Clearly identified important items like fire point, assembly point shut off valves and electrical
isolators etc.
