HSE aspects of the work. While minimum safety coverage of 1:50 for normal
activities, 1:30 for night works and 1:15 for high risk works will be maintained as
basic, coverage will be increased depending on number of locations where
simultaneous works are carried out.
 Competence of HSE and Supervisory personnel will be assessed and reviewed
regularly and further trainings will be provided to improve their competence unless
someone is proved far below from satisfactory performance.
 Recognise and reward outstanding performance.
 Application of "Just Culture" to any non-adherence of HSE rules and regulations
 Provide adequate personal protective equipment (PPE).
 Monitor the correct use of PPE.
 Provide mechanically correct tools and equipment.
 Maintain a fire prevention and protection program.
 Maintaining safe working areas and good housekeeping
 Provision of medical and first aid facilities to provide immediate treatment and
professional management of injuries to prevent them from developing into more
serious type of injuries.
 Optimisation of the site working conditions, leading to the prevention of physical
and mental complaints, prevention of occupational sickness disability leave and
prevention of the occupational illness of all persons associated with the project.
 Maintain a safe off site transport system to convey all persons to and from the camp
in the safest manner possible.
 Working hours will change during the holy month of Ramadan and also during
extreme weather conditions.
 Site representative will ensure that the policy is current.
 All personnel working under the control of GRP shall be made familiar with the
contents and the commitment to the attainment of HSE excellence throughout the

All the wastes generated during the construction activities at project will be collected,
segregated, disposed according to the COMPANY/CONTRACTOR rules by a licensed
disposal company.

Waste will be recycled as practically as possible.

2.3 Alcohol and Drug Policy

It is a termination offence for any employee to be under the influence of alcohol, or in


possession of or under the influence of any illegal drug such as cocaine, marijuana, heroin,
hashish, or other illegal substance, while working or residing in KSA.

2.4 Smoking Policy

Smoking is harmful to own health and exposes non-smokers to health risk while smoking in
public places. In addition, smoking is a potential safety hazard.

Smoking is prohibited at project site except designated area in site office premises approved
by the CONTRACTOR.

Smoking is prohibited in the camp compound, inside camp building except at designated
smoking areas.

GRP will take steps to discourage smoking habits of its employees. Campaign to promote
nonsmoking policy will be done on all sites.

2.5 Age Restriction Policy

In line with anti-child labour policy, nobody under age of 18 years will be employed neither
in the organization or its subcontractors nor in work site.

Considering the health factors, those more than 60 years of age will not be allowed to work
in high risk jobs and to work in heights. Furthermore, those personnel will not be allowed to
work more than 10 hours daily and more than 25 days in a month.

3.0 PROJECT HSE TARGETS

Specific HSE Targets for the work to achieve Project HSE objectives that can be achieved
through a HSE plan and HSE procedures that are aimed at modifying the safety behavior of the
workforce on the work to become more HSE conscious, are as follows:

6.2 Construction Manager shall identify activities to be performed in the project that requires
assessment and prepare risk assessment for such activities in consultation with
Supervisor/Engineer such that the risks associated with the activity will be reduced to as
low as reasonably practicable.

All hazards and risk assessment should be done depends on the nature of work that will be
carried out and in compliance with the CONTRACTOR guidelines and Sabic Risk Matrix
provided in Appendix 4 of Project EHSS Plan SC6122-SL0P-SAF-69000001

Following the assessment, a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) will be prepared for identified
activities.

JHA shall be submitted to the CONTRACTOR by not later than 2 weeks prior to
mobilisation to site.

Supervisor will discuss approved JHA with team of foreman and workers specific to the
work assigned to each team during teamwise tool box talk prior to work start on daily basis
and depending on criticality and demands of the work, tool box will be conducted more than
once in a day.

Meeting involving Construction Manager, HSE officer, Engineer, Supervisor will be


conducted to discuss and finalise JHA for the high risk and non-standard activities.

Project Manager will do internal approval of JHA.

Risk Assessment / JHA shall be prepared for the tasks on a 30-day look ahead basis. A
weekly summarised report of Risk Assessment / JHA shall be submitted to SSA. JHA
pertaining to each activity shall be displayed at each job location along with work permit.

Following basic criteria will be followed for identifying activities that require Risk
Analysis/JHA:

 Have a high potential for causing serious and/or equipment, material, health and
environmental damage
 Deviate from standard practices
 Commencement of a new or complex task

6.3 The following principle will be applied while preparing JHA

 If possible, avoid the risk completely, by using alternative methods or tools or


materials.

 Combat risk at source, rather than by measures which leave the risk in place but attempt
to prevent contact with risk.

 Wherever possible, adapt work to the individual particularly in the choice of work
method and work equipment.

 Take advantage of technological progress, which offers safer and more efficient
working methods.

 Give priority to those measures which protect the whole workforce over individual
measures.

 Even for the repetitive jobs, review and revise the assessment at regular intervals based
on the inputs received from HSE advisors, crew who executed the job.

 Risk Assessment shall be carried out in the specific format approved by the
CONTRACTOR.

Methodology for developing Risk Assessment will be based on following steps

a) Beak the job into basic steps

b) Identify Hazards for each step

c) List Hazard Events

d) Calculate risk factor with initial risk rating

e) Detail controls and mitigation plan

f) Calculate residual risk factor with final risk rating

g) Enter risk priority

h) Evaluate acceptability of risk

i) Define responsibilities for implementation of hazard control.
