management :

 Prevention
 Reduction
 Re-use, recover
 Recycle
 Remove
 Disposal

To achieve this «ROVSHAN OGUZ GROUP” LLC will stress the following:

 Workforce training on the principles and expectations of waste management onsite, the
correct handling of waste and personal protection, and the implications of poor waste
management and disciplinary action,
 Stringent Housekeeping
 Prompt waste recording, segregation, storage, collection and disposal,
 Preventative maintenance of all equipment and facilities,
 Worksite efficiency and optimum material use,
 Risk Analysis of the environmental implications of all works activities,

1.1. Objectives

operations. Accordingly, the procedure is applicable to and shall cover areas as listed below:

 Work Sites,
 Temporary Offices,
 Lay down Areas,
 Other Temporary Facilities,
 Fuel Storage Areas,
 Chemical storage Areas

The scope of this procedure covers the minimisation of wastes, the proper segregation, storage,
collection and disposal of all wastes generated on site.

1.3. Responsibilities

1.4. Procedural Assessment Review and Amendments

The Waste Management Procedure is a live document and as such will be subject to regular
assessment reviews and amendments as required. The performance of the system will be subject
to monitoring and internal/external audits as discussed in Section 6.

2.0. WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Through monitoring of wastes produced, and environmental training, «ROVSHAN OGUZ GROUP”
LLC will strive to educate the workforce on the basic principles of Prevention, Reduction, Re-use,
Recovery and Recycling to reduce the production of waste. However it is inevitable that waste will
be produced and require proper handling.

There are several steps that can be employed on waste before proper treatment is administered.
These steps reduce the complexity and handling difficulties of waste prior to the application of the
appropriate treatment strategy.

2.1 Waste Inventory

A waste inventory format shall be used to keep record of all types of waste and their quantities.
According to the type of works going on all kinds of waste will be detailed weekly .This record shall
be used to monitor the waste management effectiveness. A monthly waste inventory shall also be
submitted to «ROVSHAN OGUZ GROUP” LLC management and the Client (Section 6.3).

Also a waste inventory form shall be kept by the Environmental subcontractor (Waste) who shall
record all types and quantity of waste received, quantity removed, composted or recycled on a
weekly basis.

2.2 Waste Segregation

A waste segregation exercise involving sorting and separation of waste on the basis of
characteristics shall be carried out. Where possible waste materials shall be segregated at source
by:

 The provision of appropriate labels.

 Proper labelling of bins, with clear indication, in English and Azeri, of the waste type to be
deposited in them (“Used engine oil”, -“İşlənmiş yağlar”, “Paint Waste”-“Boya tullantıları”,
“Glass”-“Şüşə”, “Plastics”-“Plastik Tullantılar”, “Domestic waste”-“Məişət Tullantıları”,
“Medical waste”-“Tibbi Tullantılar”).
 Proper placement of the various bins in offices, construction site, mess centres, clinics, etc.
 Placing of sufficient bins of each type, in good condition, at each waste collection point,
depending on the variety and quantity of the wastes envisaged from each location
 Proper storage of the segregates, i.e. the containers will be appropriate in terms of volume,
composition, shape and opening for the material being stored.
 Effective and timely delivery of the segregated bins to the waste disposal area(s).

2.3. Waste collection Points

WCP are areas designated for the collection and temporary storage of solid hazardous and
non- hazardous waste. Wheelie bin and skips located at the WPC will be colour coded and labelled
in accordance with the type of waste to assist in the segregation at the source point.

The following colour-coding practice shall be used to ensure correct segregation:

Different types of waste materials shall be handled using different management options that are
acceptable, adequate and effective. In choosing the option of managing a particular type of waste,
a method that addresses the peculiarity of the local environment is considered.

In compliance with local legislation, all wastes of industrial consumption are classified under their
toxicity property into the toxic class (hazard) and non-toxic.

Classes of toxicity (hazard):

I – Extremely dangerous wastes

II – Highly dangerous wastes

III – Moderately dangerous wastes

IV - Low-hazardous wastes

3.1. Industrial Waste

machinery, pumps etc.

All of these oils and oil-soaked rags (III class of toxicity) shall be collected in properly marked
drums and transported to the approved object of regeneration.

3.1.1.1. Contingency Plan

Any major fuel storage shall be confined within a bundwall. In the event of any spillage, the
fuel or oil shall be contained within the bunded area and subsequently absorbed, using
oleiphilic absorbents, which are further sequestered into an oil waste drum. The collected
oil/fuel will then be taken to an appropriate local oil disposal facility.

If the spillage is on land the affected soil shall be sacrified, excavated and disposed for
neutralization of as above.

3.1.2. Paint Waste ( II class of toxicity)
