⑧ Information shall be verified wherever possible. In particular it should be noted that


statements made by different witnesses may conflict, and supporting evidence may be needed.
⑨ The information shall be carefully examined and systematically analyzed by the investigation
team.
2) Inspection of the Incident/accident location.
① Important evidence can be gained from observations made at the scene of the
Incident/accident, especially when witnesses are not available, physical evidence from the
scene of the accident will be helpful in investigations.
② Furthermore physical evidence will help victims and witness to recall what happened when
their memories are unclear.
3) Interview.
① Interview shall be conducted individually so that witness does not influence each other.
② Witness interviews should be conducted step by step sequentially based on the facts available.
Interviewer's comments, leading questions, or accusations shall be avoided.
③ The interview information should be recorded, without any modification by the interviewer's
preconceptions.
14.3.4 Analysis of Incident/accident Causes.
-Causes of Incidents/accidents.
1) The causes of accidents include the immediate causes which could have contributed directly
to the Incident/accident, and underlying basic causes such as the lack of management, and
human factors and job factors, and/or a combination of these.
2) First the investigation team shall look for any immediate causes, which could have
contributed directly to the Incident/accident. The immediate causes are usually substandard
actions and/or substandard conditions.
3) The basic causes also shall be investigated. The basic causes are usually human factors such as
inadequate capability, lack of management, inadequate leadership/supervision, inadequate
engineering, etc.
4) The root cause of the incident shall also be investigated. The immediate and basic cause of the
incident shall be analyzed and compared to the Project HSE management system to identify
whether it is a cause of non-compliance or inadequate standards in the project's HSE
management system.
-Investigation Analysis Meeting.
1) The Incident/accident investigation team shall meet to analyze and identity the causes
of the Incident/accident using the survey records of the location, interview with all
witness, documents concerned, etc. and establish rectification plans, and summarize
recommendations. Any assumptions made during the analysis should be clearly
identified in the report.
2) The progress of results of the meetings shall be reported to the Site Manager and HSE

manager.
14.3.5 Recommendations.
-Recommendations to exclude basic and immediate causes shall be made to prevent the
Incident/accident recurring or to eliminate loss.
-Recommendations for improvement of the HSE Management System shall be made based on
the analysis of the basic causes.
-All recommendations shall be in the form of practical action items.
-The following factors shall be kept in mind when preparing recommendations:
1) Effectiveness
2) Practicability.
3) Urgency/Implementation Time.
4) Permanency.
5) Extent of Benefit.
14.3.6 Implementation of Recommendations.
-After receiving permission either from the authorities such as Government, Insurance
companies, etc. recommendations for remedial actions and operation start-up shall be
implemented.
-Detailed execution procedure for the recommendations shall be explained to, and fully
understood by all persons concerned.
14.3.7 Reporting/Recording.
-Which Incident/accident should be reported?
1) All Incidents/accidents should be reported and analyzed, whether they have led to human
injury or physical damage or not, and whether human injury has led to sick leave or not.
2) "Near misses", hazardous situations, and dangerous occurrences deserve special attention at
site meetings to review causes, because these represent inadequacy in Contractor’s risk
control organization or our work methods.
-Who writes the Incident/accident report?
1) The Supervisor is the person who is the most closely concerned by the need to find a
satisfactory solution to the problem presented by the Incident/accident or near miss. The
Supervisor should receive from the superior directly in charge of the victim or of the
workstation, a written Incident/accident report immediately after the event.
2) To write this kind of report, one generally needs the co-operation of the victim, witnesses,
works manager, foreman, the doctor and HSE Manager.
3) After the Supervisor reviews and signs the report, a copy is sent to the Site HSE Department
and a copy to the Site Manager through the HSE Manager where it is recorded, studied,(to see
if there are any lessons to be learned from a more general perspective), then filed.

SECURITY PLAN

-How to write an Incident/accident report.


1) There are a number of ways of looking into an Incident/accident, ranging from a simple
conversation between persons and their department supervisor, to a full investigation by a
specialized team that takes down all the facts, establishes a "root cause analysis", analyzing
the progress of events, and draws up a list of corrective measures.
2) Each Incident/accident is to be reported in an appropriate manner, depending on frequency,
the risk being run, the employees concerned, etc. A sample form is attached with this
procedure, but a report may also be written out on loose-leaf paper as long as it answers all
the questions that have to be asked.
(See attachment 10: Incident / Accident Report[Format])
3) A written report is required for all Incidents/accidents involving sick leave. The same
procedure is recommended for accidents that cause less serious injury, but are significant.
Once the causes have been identified, corrective solutions to the existing problem will be
implemented.
14.3.8 Communication of Accident/Incident to all Levels of Workforce.
-All Incidents/accidents or dangerous occurrences including the prevention actions,
recommendations by the investigation team and lesson learnt from them shall be effectively
channeled down to all levels of workforce through group meetings.
-The communication line would be as follows:
Accident/Incident Investigation Team →HSE Committee →Site Managers of Sub-contractors
→Site Engineers →Site Supervisors →Workforce.
-The HSE Committee would be responsible to monitor and ensure that the line communication
is effectively carried out. Translation of communication into languages understood by the
workers level shall also be carried out as and when required.
NOTE 1: Any incident must be communicated immediately to the Owner (project director or
EHS Manager) by phone, mail or personal communication.

15. HSE Work permit

A HSE Work Permit is a written record issued by authorized personnel permitting a specific
task for a specified time frame in a defined area.
HSE Work Permits develop, document and communicate understanding between individuals
responsible for performing work and the individuals responsible for the work area.
Each HSE Work Permit will identify hazards that may be harmful to personnel, equipment,
property, environment and will identify the health/safety/environment requirements to be
followed while performing the scope of work described in the permit.
Any work activity which by the nature of the proposed work or by the area in which the
