equipment possession plus 1 year after equipment is no longer on the premises.
o Ensure all loose materials, parts, blocking and packaging have been removed from
the load before lifting.
o Remove any slack from the sling and hoisting ropes before lifting the load.
o Make sure that lifting device sits in the saddle of the hook.
 To move a load safely:
o Move lifting equipment controls smoothly, Avoid abrupt, jerky movements of the
loads.
o Follow signals only from one signaler in charge of the lift.
o Make sure everyone is away from the load before hoisting, to do so – sound a bell,
siren or other warning device and slowly begin hoisting the load.
o Ensure nothing links or catches on the load while raising it or travelling.
o Ensure nothing obstructs the movement of load.
 Before leaving a lifting equipment:

o Remove the load hanging on the lifting equipment.
o Raise all hooks to a mid-position.
o Stop the lifting equipment at a designated location.
o Place all controls in the “OFF” position.
o Place the main switch to the “OFF” position.

2. Fire Prevention
GENERAL
The most common causes of fire are:
Cigarette ends not properly extinguished.

Misused or faulty - Liquefied Petroleum Gas appliances and installations.
Electrical appliances and installations.
Solid fuel appliances and installations.
Oil appliances and installations.
Rubbish burning.
Misused or faulty - Oxy - acetylene cutting and welding equipment.
Malicious or intentional ignition.
Fires in, but no confined to, chimneys and flues.
1. Precautions which should be taken are as follows:

a. On open sites, caravans and site offices should be spaced at least 10ft. (3.1m) apart.
b. Rubbish should be cleared from site at regular intervals.
c. Smoking must be prohibited in the site, use only the designated smoking area.
d. Except when in use cylinders or other containers of acetylene, oxygen, butane or
propane should be kept in an open air compound away from any fire risk and at least
20ft. (6.10m) from any building and site boundary. Oxygen cylinders should be kept
away from others. Cylinders that are empty are put aside as empty are equally
dangerous. They should be kept in the compound and not left lying around the site.
Provide a covered segregated area for “FULL & EMPTY” cylinders. Make sure that all
cylinder valves are completely closed.
Page
74
e. Do not fill tanks of petrol or diesel engines while the engine is running.
f. Wiring for temporary electric services should be installed by a competent electrician
and be carefully routed and protected to prevent accidental damage.
g. Always keep handy the right type of fire extinguisher.
h. After using a flame-producing appliance, carefully inspect the area around the work
to make sure nothing is smoldering.
2. EXTINGUISHERS
Extinguishers should be provided in places which are vulnerable to fire. The color coding of
extinguishers follow the coding recommended in BS5423 which is as follows:
Dry Powder (all types)French Blue
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Black
Electrical fires should be extinguished by Dry Powder, CO2 under no circumstances should
water or foam be used.
3. In case of fire:
a. Sound the alarm
b. Call Fire Brigade (dial 999)
c. Try to extinguish fire
d. Where practicable, hazards should be eliminated at source, but for some jobs
special clothing or equipment will be required.
e. Protective gear is effective only if it is suitable for the job and properly used.

An alert and educated staff is the most valuable resource for fire protection. Fire hazards arise from
unsafe conditions and practices. Every employee has a responsibility and vested interest in making a
concerted effort to correct and improve their work conditions and practices. Fire hazards include, but
are not limited to:
In the event of an alarm/fire employees should practice the procedures associated with the acronym
“RACE”.
R : Remain calm, do not panic. Rescue persons in immediate danger.
A : Alarm… Activate the nearest MANUAL PULL STATION and notify the fire department by
dialing 998 (“I want to report a fire at…”); Inform other occupants.
C : Contain fire at point of origin by closing all doors and windows.
E : Evacuate the facility using established procedures. Extinguish fire by using a portable fire
extinguisher. (Unless you have been properly trained, never attempt to use a fire
extinguisher) Report fire/pull alarm first; extinguish after. Never attempt to extinguish a fire
unless you can do so safely.
HSE Department shall regularly evaluate the presence of combustible materials at Abuljadayel Co.
Certain types of substances can ignite at relatively low temperatures or pose a risk of catastrophic
explosion if ignited. Such substances obviously require special care and handling.
1.Class A combustibles.
These include common combustible materials (wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and plastics) that can act
as fuel and are found in non-specialized areas such as offices.
To handle Class A combustibles safely:
a. Dispose of waste daily.

b. Keep trash in metal-lined receptacles with tight-fitting covers (metal wastebaskets that are
emptied every day do not need to be covered).
c. Keep work areas clean and free of fuel paths that could allow a fire to spread.
d. Keep combustibles away from accidental ignition sources, such as hot plates, soldering
irons, or other heat- or spark-producing devices.
e. Store paper stock in metal cabinets.
f. Store rags in metal bins with self-closing lids.
g. Do not order excessive amounts of combustibles.
h. Make frequent inspections to anticipate fires before they start.
Water, multi-purpose dry chemical (ABC), and halon 1211 are approved fire extinguishing agents
for Class A combustibles.

97
2.Class B combustibles.
These include flammable and combustible liquids (oils, greases, tars, oil-based paints, and lacquers),
flammable gases, and flammable aerosols.
To handle Class B combustibles safely:
a. Use only approved pumps, taking suction from the top, to dispense liquids from tanks,
drums, barrels, or similar containers (or use approved self-closing valves or faucets).
b. Do not dispense Class B flammable liquids into containers unless the nozzle and container
are electrically interconnected by contact or by a bonding wire. Either the tank or container must
be grounded.
Store, handle, and use Class B combustibles only in approved locations where vapors are prevented
from reaching ignition sources such as heating or electric equipment, open flames, or mechanical or
electric sparks.
a. Do not use a flammable liquid as a cleaning agent inside a building (the only exception is
in a closed machine approved for cleaning with flammable liquids).
b. Do not use, handle, or store Class B combustibles near exits, stairs, or any other areas
normally used as exits.
c. Do not weld, cut, grind, or use unsafe electrical appliances or equipment near Class B
combustibles.
d. Do not generate heat, allow an open flame, or smoke near Class B combustibles.
e. Know the location of and how to use the nearest portable fire extinguisher rated for Class B
fire.
Water should not be used to extinguish Class B fires caused by flammable liquids. Water can cause
the burning liquid to spread, making the fire worse. To extinguish a fire caused by flammable
liquids, exclude the air around the burning liquid. The following fire-extinguishing agents are
approved for Class B combustibles: carbon dioxide, multi-purpose dry chemical (ABC), halon
1301, and halon 1211. (NOTE: Halon has been determined to be an ozone-depleting substance and
is no longer being manufactured. Existing systems using halon can be kept in place.)
3. Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in all Abuljadayel Co. buildings. Certain outdoor areas may
also be designated as no smoking areas. The areas in which smoking is prohibited outdoors are
identified by NO SMOKING signs.

22.HSE COMMUNICATION MEETING:
1 INTRODUCTION
Communication allows people, tasks, processes and systems to interact purposively and co-
operatively to achieve health, safety and environment (HSE) objectives. The way we communicate
about safety will influence whether or not people will understand and participate in the safety
process, and the language we use will often determine whether the process is accepted or rejected.
Merely training people to work safely will often not be sufficient. It may be necessary to provide
forms of motivation and publicity to encourage them to take responsibility for their own health and
safety, and that of others. The methods used will need to create an atmosphere that promotes safe
behavior, and reminds and reinforces the benefits for employees and the organization of working
safely.
The process of safety communication is like traffic on a road. You need to plan the route to your
destination, respond to signals and signs, take a different route if your path is blocked, modify your
approach according to the conditions (motivation, culture, status, etc.), and slow down when required.
The meaning of our communication is just not what the sender thinks it is – it relies on the response
from the recipient. It takes time and effort to perfect the techniques that help us to convey our safety
messages effectively.
2 SAFETY AND COMMUNICATION CULTURE

In a system of open and two-way communication, management provides employees with relevant
information on hazards and risks associated with the organization operations to build understanding
on how to work safely. They listen and act on the concerns of employees. People will contribute more
effectively in an environment that provides a framework for consultation and communication that
creates the conditions where individuals are encouraged and prepared to report hazards, incidents and
near-misses. Involving employees in decisions about changes and responding to their concerns helps
to establish common goals between management and employees, and motivates them to work safely.
Staff involvement in the HSE decision-making process is a characteristic of a positive safety culture
and has also been recognised as being fundamental to the successful implementation and
sustainability of a HSE Management System

Employees contribute most effectively

in an environment that provides a Individuals encouraged and Meeting to discuss HSE issues such
framework for consultation and prepared to report errors as hazard and incident reports, risk
communication and near-misses assessments and operating
procedures
3.Types of Communication
There are many examples of technical strategies for safety communication. The most commonly used
methods for internal communication include presentations to senior management, staff and HSE
Committees, team meetings, emails, videos, notice boards, newsletters, poster displays and signage.
3.1 HSE statistics

An organization can communicate its performance through graphs of lost time, medical treatments,
workers compensation rates, severity and incident rates, and positive performance indicators. These
are used to facilitate continual improvement and enhance the accountability of line management for
meeting an organization’s HSE objectives.
3.2 Safety induction

Information can be provided through HSE practitioners and supervisors on site rules and
requirements, emergency procedures and incident reporting to enable new employees, visitors and
contractors to carry out their duties in a safe manner from the moment they come on site.
3.3 Risk assessment

Anyone can be at risk without realizing it. Some hazards such as heat, chemicals and moving parts
communicate an immediate threat of injury. However, the risk cannot always be perceived, e.g.,
carbon monoxide is highly toxic and has no smell. A risk assessment can help identify workplace
hazards that pose a risk to people and the environment, assess the magnitude of those risks, and apply
controls to mitigate Risk.
Page
102
3.4 Manuals, checklists and operating procedures
Abuljadayel Co. safety manual consolidates the rules and requirements for working safely. Checklists
can used be as ‘checking tools’ (e.g., inspection checklists) or guideline tools (e.g., operating
checklists) to help prevent incidents and miscommunications, increase hazard reporting, better
operate equipment, and make informed decisions about operation. Maintenance logbooks provide a
historical profile of plant and machinery. Operating procedures provide advice on acceptable/safe
work practices. The lock-out or tag-out of faulty equipment or work in progress can communicate
potential danger.
3.5 Hazards, incidents and near-misses

Communicating the results of a hazard or incident investigation demonstrates management
commitment in identifying and addressing underlying causes to prevent a recurrence. The
involvement of employees in suggesting strategies to prevent a recurrence encourages ownership of
the solution(s) and a desire to implement the recommendations. It is important to have on-going
campaigns to encourage the reporting of incident and injuries as many employees will not report for
fear of recrimination. This may be the case in some professions where injuries are regarded as part of
the job. Reporting near-misses ensures remedial actions are implemented prior to an incident causing
injury or ill health. Safety alerts draw attention to issues that may require immediate attention.
3.6 Training
Training is conducted to respond to gaps in knowledge (proactive approach), to target high-risk
groups or areas (reactive approach), and to adjust perception of risk. Programs that work well are
applicable to lifestyles both at and away from the workplace, e.g., personal fitness, hygiene, cancer
awareness, workplace stress. To instill positive attitudes and behaviors toward HSE, proactive
programs must be designed with staff’s needs in mind. Training in safe work methods should involve
raising employee’s awareness of their true values towards health and safety. For example, employees
may believe that they value cutting corners to get to a meal break because they have not consciously
considered their more long-term values. Long-term values include being able to work without injury
so they can continue to provide for their family. An effective tool is to ask employees to consider
what they truly value more, overriding a machine guard to finish the job earlier (at the risk of being
severely injured) or working safely to be able to continue to provide for their family.
3.7 Brochures, posters and videos

A wide variety of publications on HSE matters are available. They can range from simple
instructional leaflets on particular topics such as safe lifting, electrical safety, personal fitness,
through to general items such as checklists and guides to legislation, and sources of further
information to more detailed reports, books, etc. Small instructional leaflets can be suitable for
general distribution and should be printed matter in several languages if the workforce is
multicultural. All publications should be studied for suitability before distribution. It is possible to
communicate HSE through an organisation’s in-house newsletter. Posters can overcome language
problems through the use of illustrations and symbols. To maintain attention, posters should be kept
on a special display board (not cluttered with other notices) and changed at frequent intervals.

23.Health & Hygiene
Introduction to Health & Hygiene:
Health is a state of physical Mental and Social well-being, its involve more than just the
absence of disease, Physical fitness is a good bodily health and is the result of regular exercise proper
diet, Nutrition and proper rest for physical recovery mental health refers to an individual’s emotional
and psychological well-being.
General Hygiene
Good personal hygiene and hygienic working practices are important
both in the prevention of contamination of drinking water supplies and in the maintenance of the
health of those employed with sewage.
1. A habit of thorough hand and forearm washing is sufficient to prevent cross contamination.
Hands should be washed :-
- Prior to eating, drinking or smoking
- After using the toilet
- Before using the toilet where work involves sewage
- After any contamination
2. Avoid rubbing your nose or mouth with your hands during work and avoid nail biting.
3. Ensure that exposed, broken skin areas are covered with a waterproof dressing whilst at work.
4. Protective clothing is provided for the tasks to be undertaken. These should be used whenever
possible (especially gloves). Where relevant, on site laundry facilities are provided for the use of all
employees who work with sewage. This is to reduce the risk of cross contamination. It is advisable to
change personal clothing before going home
5. Protective equipment is provided relevant to the tasks to be undertaken. This should

be cleaned, maintained and appropriately stored by the user. Where it is damaged a replacement
should be obtained.
Health Risks :
Exposure to sewage or its products may result in a number of illnesses. These include:
Page
105
Gastroenteritis, characterized by cramping stomach pains, diarrhea and vomiting.
Weil’s Disease, a flu-like illness persistent and severe headache, transmitted by rat
urine. Damage to liver, kidneys and blood may occur and the condition can be fatal.
-- Hepatitis, characterized by inflammation of the liver, and jaundice.
-- Occupational asthma, resulting in attacks of breathlessness, chest tightness and wheezing,
and produced by the inhalation of living or dead organisms.
-- Infection of the skin or eyes.
-- Rarely, allergic alveolitis (inflammation of the lung) with fever, breathlessness, dry cough, and
aching muscles and joints.
How do Micro-Organisms enter the body?

-- Hand to mouth: The most common way for micro-organisms to enter the body is during eating,
drinking and smoking, or when wiping your face with contaminated hands or gloves or
by licking splashes on the skin.
-- Skin contact: through cuts, scratches, or penetrating wounds, i.e. from discarded hypodermic
needles. Certain organisms can enter the body through the surfaces of the eyes, nose and
mouth.
-- Breathing: Micro-organisms can be breathed in, as dust, aerosol or mist.
DISEASES:
Hepatitis A (Infective Hepatitis)

This infection is of femoral transmission and can normally be prevented by good hygiene practices
and working procedures.
Where immersion in sewage occurs:-
1. Expel any material from the nose and mouth;
2. Copiously irrigate the eyes and mouth;
3. Shower;
4. Report the incident to your manager/supervisor and complete an accident report form;
Visit your doctor or the nearest hospital casualty department immediately. You will be assessed
to find out if treatment with Immunoglobin (antibodies against Hepatitis A) is necessary – this
prevents the onset of Hepatitis A infection. There is now immunization available against Hepatitis A
(Havarix Monodose). This is given as a single dose. In order to obtain more
Page
106
persistent immunity, a booster dose is recommended between 6 and 12 months after primary
immunization. This will give protection for up to 10 years. Vaccination is available through your GP.
Hepatitis B (Serum Hepatitis)

This is transmitted by infected blood, blood products and semen.
Transmission of infection could potentially occur if infected blood enters the body through:-
-- Needle stick injury
-- Skin lesion
-- Mucosa of eyes, mouth etc.
See FIRST AID notes. The incidence of Hepatitis B infection in the KSA is not high. Although there
is a vaccination against Hepatitis B, it is restricted to certain high risk groups in the population as
stipulated by the Department of Health. Sewage treatment workers are
not considered to be at risk of contracting Hepatitis B through their normal working.
Protective clothing and procedures are in operation to protect employees from all infections.
First Aid policy:

1. At the beginning of each shift cover any cuts or abrasions with a waterproof plaster.
2. In the event of any injury at work involving broken skin:-

a. Squeeze the area to make it bleed (unless it is an artery in
which case quickly stop the bleeding
b. Wash the area with plenty of soap and water
c. Dry thoroughly
d. Cover with a waterproof plaster
e. Complete an accident form
f. DO NOT SUCK THE INJURED AREA
3. In the event of any contamination to the mucosa of the eyes, nose, and mouth:-
a. Irrigate with plenty of water
b. Complete an accident form
4. Contact your First Aider for further help.

24. WELFARE FACILITIES AT WORKPLACE
Abuljadayel Co. recognizes the importance of planning safety and taking

the proactive approach in the project at the earliest possible stage of which injuries and ill
health arising from the construction activities is to be avoided. To this end, the following
Safety Plan has been prepared according to the project contract safety requirements to
describe how to manage, control and coordinate the work in order to secure the health, safety
and welfare Facilities of all personnel engaged on the project and others who may be affected
by the construction operation.
The Welfare Facilities and Arrangements heading covers the following:
 The provision of toilet, washing and changing facilities

 Clothing storage
 Facilities for eating
 Rest rooms
 Garbage / refuse
1. Toilet, washing and changing facilities
 Enough toilets and wash basins for all those expected to use them - people should not be expected
to queue for long periods to go to the toilet.
 Cleaned and maintained facilities - walls and floors should be tiled or covered in suitable
waterproof material where possible to make them easier to clean.
 A supply of toilet paper and, for female employees, a means of disposing of sanitary dressings.
 Facilities that are well lit and ventilated, have adequate protection from the weather, and are
connected to a suitable drainage system with an effective means for flushing with water.
 Hot and cold running water.
 Enough soap or other washing agents.
 A basin large enough to wash hands and, where necessary because of the nature of the work,
forearms.
 A means of drying hands - a hot-air dryer or paper towels (with adequate paper towel waste
removal).
Number of Workers Number of Toilets Number of Washbasins
1 to 5 1 1
6 to 25 2 2
26 to 50 3 3
51 to 75 4 4
76 to 100 5 5
Page
108
2. Clothing storage
To minimize the risk of employees' own clothing coming into contact with contaminated, dirty or
wet, work-soiled clothing, Abuljadayel co. provide separate storage for clean clothing and
contaminated work wear. This separated storage area should allow wet clothing to be hung up to dry
during the course of the working day and, consequently, should be well ventilated.
 Be readily accessible
 Contain - or lead directly to - washing facilities and a clothing storage area
 Provide a means for hanging clothes up (a hook or peg may be sufficient)
 Ensure the privacy of the user.
3.Facilities for eating & Rest Room

Abuljadayel co. provide suitable designated seating area for employees to use during their work
breaks. It needs to be kept clean and located in an area where food will not become contaminated.
There should be adequate washing facilities nearby. Good food-hygiene standards should be
maintained in all such areas.
In offices and other reasonably clean workplaces, work seats or other seats in the work area will be
sufficient if the resting employees are not exposed to excessive disturbance during their breaks, for
example through contact with members of the public. In other cases, one or more separate rest rooms
or areas should be provided. These should be large enough and have enough seats with backrests and
tables for the number of employees likely to use them at any one time.
4. Garbage / refuse
Wherever practicable, waste shall be segregated into burnable, non-burnable such as glass, plastic,
metal etc. and reclaimed materials.
All garbage/ refuse containers shall be made of durable, non- absorbent, easily cleanable materials.
They shall be designed and constructed to that they do not leak and shall be provided with tight-
fitting covers which must be kept in the closed position when not in use.
Small containers shall be lined with heavy duty plastic bags to minimize cleaning requirements and
facilities easy removal of contents
Garbage and refuse shall be disposed of often enough to prevent the development of odour
and attraction of insects and rodents.
In Summary, for Abuljadayel Co. Safety is First, Last and Everything in Between
In addition, we will follow and comply with the Louis Berger project HSE plan, procedures,
suggestion and corrective action where applicable.
