1.0 PURPOSE
To design the process for continuously and systematically monitoring working

conditions and work practices on Bechtel projects.
2.0 SCOPE
This procedure applies to all Bechtel projects/facilities.
3.0 OBJECTIVE
The objective of conducting project ES&H assessments is to gather reliable data

through inspection, observation, and inquiry to identify opportunities for
improvement. Also, items/activities which exhibit exemplary compliance or an
innovative approach to ES&H processes should also be identified.
4.0 ADMINISTRATION
The general administration of the onsite assessment process is the responsibility of

the project ES&H supervisor.
5.0 PROCEDURES
The site manager and supervisors are responsible for conducting assessments as
described below.
5.1 Daily/Routine Assessments
5.1.1 Supervisors who direct the work activities of employees are

responsible for assessing the work processes within their area for
unsafe conditions, practices, and at risk behavior.
5.1.2 The project ES&H supervisor will conduct on-going inspections of the
project work activities. Deficiencies will be reported to the responsible
foreman.
BESH CP-111
5.2 Monthly Formal Assessments
The project ES&H supervisor is responsible for coordinating monthly safety

assessments. The format and participation of project personnel will be
planned by the ES&H supervisor in conjunction with the project Zero Injury
team. The Bechtel Self-Assessment Process shall be utilized to assess and
continually improve the requirements of the ESHEP. Monthly assessments
should involve a cross section of the work group and include the monitoring
of subcontractor activities. From time to time, the Zero Injury Team members
should participate. Documentation of this type of assessment can be done
on a form similar to the one included as Exhibit A.
5.3 Site manager’s Assessments
5.3.1 The site manager (or a designee during the site manager’s absence
from the project) and the project ES&H supervisor will conduct an
assessment of a safety system included in the project ESHEP on a
monthly basis.
5.3.2 The project ES&H supervisor and site manager will agree on which
safety system will be assessed each month. The assessment format
will be in accordance with the following guidelines:
5.3.2.1 Select at least one safety system such as the STARRT/JHA

system, ground fault system, etc. and visit an area. While in
the area, (1) observe the use of the system by employees, (2)
physically check the equipment in use, and (3) contact
employees regarding their knowledge of the system.
5.3.2.2 Based upon the information obtained, develop corrective

action items or plan an in-depth assessment to determine the
root causes of barriers, problems, or deficiencies.
5.3.2.3 Involve employees, supervisors and others, as necessary, to

further define root causes. Compile recommendations and
effect improvements.
5.3.2.4 Periodically involve other project supervisors in this

process.
BESH CP-111
5.4 Corporate ES&H Assessments
5.4.1 Corporate ES&H assessments are conducted on a periodic basis to

assess the application of ES&H systems, and to make
recommendations for improvement.
5.4.2 Corporate assessments may encompass the entire ES&H process or

be limited to a critical few. Assessments will be performed utilizing the
Bechtel Self-Assessment Process computer software. Key areas of
assessment will be:
• Safe Work Observation Process

• Training and Education
• Responsibilities
• Hazard Communications Program
• Recordkeeping
• Accident Investigations
• Safety Task Analysis
• Injury and Illness Trends
• Process Safety Management (if applicable)
• Zero Injury Team
5.4.3 The Manager of ES&H for North America or his/her designees is

responsible for conducting at least one comprehensive assessment of
the project ESHEP with a follow-up review each year.
5.5 Assessment Instructions
5.5.1 Prior to the arrival of the ES&H Services personnel (approximately

2-3 weeks), an assessment announcement letter will be sent to the
project (see Exhibit B). This letter will outline the parameters and
specifics regarding the corporate assessment, and request the project
start preparation by conducting a self-assessment on the elements of
their site-specific ES&H plan.
BESH CP-111
5.5.2 Typical protocol for the assessment will be as follows:
• Opening meeting/in briefing

• Records review
• Personnel interviews
• Physical conditions tour
• Close-out meeting/out briefing
5.5.3 All corporate assessments will be formally documented. The project

will be left with a graphical summary analysis report that identifies
deficiencies and safe operations/conditions. A clear plan of action
must accompany each assessment that identifies all action items and
responsible person for the action
Note: The site manager is responsible to ensure all

action items are closed out in a timely manner.

Site Manager:
This is to confirm that a corporate environmental, safety and health assessment will be
conducted at your project on ________________. As indicated by the schedule, the
assessment will take approximately _______________ days to complete.
Format for the assessment is outlined in the Environmental, Safety and Health Manual,
Volume A, BESH-010. Prior to the assessment, you should start conducting a self-
assessment, utilizing the self-assessment tool (located in the Appendix of the BESH manual,
Volume A) to evaluate your current compliance with your own Environmental, Safety and
Health Plan. As a reminder, the purpose of conducting this assessment is not to find fault or
criticize, rather to offer innovative ideas and recommendations for continuous improvement.
