by Project Team by: (a) changes or proposed changes, (b) Addition or reduction, (c)
Routine or non-routine of the following:
 Process related
 Facility / equipment
 Manpower and other resources (machine, methods or materials)

11.6 RISK ASSESSMENT


Based on the project progress planning schedules such as monthly/weekly and day-to-day
planning, all critical activities will be analyzed to identify the hazards likely to be encountered
prior to execution and to decide the precautions to be taken.
Each applicable hazard identified for a specific process or operation shall be entered into the risk
register kindly refer (Appendix K - Risk Register)
Activity specific risk assessments with safety requirements for new activities will be prepared and
submitted to ASHGHAL by the project team along with method statements.
All HSE Critical issues shall be identified based on the project scope and job safety analysis for
all such activities will be submitted later.
Risk Management provides a systematic approach to the control and elimination of accidents at
work. It simply means:
 Thinking about what can go wrong
 Deciding if enough has been done to prevent it.
 The purpose and function of risk management is:
 To identify hazards — operations, tasks and processes that may foreseeably cause harm
to employees or others, including members of the public.
 To identify risk — the likelihood of the realization of the hazard, and the potential
consequences
 The ultimate purpose is to provide a "safe" place of work.
 At the heart of the risk, management process is risk assessment. The risk management
process can be summed up by the following stages.

 Consider all tasks and situations.


 Identify the hazards that are, or may be, involved.
 Identify those persons who may be exposed to the hazards.
 Analyze the risks of injury or loss from hazards (risk assessment).
 Determine whether the risk is adequately controlled (risk assessment).
 Consider measures that may eliminate or reduce risk further in line with the basic
principles of hazard control.
 Implement the risk control measures.
 Monitor those measures.
 Review and feedback any corrective action.

The key words used in HSE risk assessment are defined below:
HAZARD - Source, situation, or act with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill health
or combination of these.
HARM - Includes death, injury, physical or mental ill health, damage to property or the
environment, loss of production or any combination of these.
ACCIDENT - An accident is an incident, which has given rise to injury, ill health or fatality.
INCIDENT - An incident adhere no injury, ill health, or fatality occurs may also be referred to a
"near-miss”, "near-hit", "close call" or "dangerous occurrence”.
RISK - Combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure(s) and
the severity of injury or ill health that can be caused by the event or exposure.
DANGER - A state in which there is exposure to a hazard; the opposite of safety (often used in
terms such as dangerous condition, danger area, danger zone, etc.).
SAFE: - A state in which exposure to hazards has been adequately controlled; the opposite of
dangerous (safe plant, safe system of work, etc.).
RISK MANAGEMENT - The process of analyzing the level of risk, considering those in danger,
and evaluating whether hazards are adequately controlled, considering any measures already in
place.
The methodology of risk assessment study is described and is briefly illustrated in the following
figure:

Risk assessment methods are used to decide on priorities and to set objectives for eliminating
hazards and reducing risks. Wherever possible, risk is eliminated through selection and design of
facilities, equipment and processes. If risk can’t be eliminated, then it is minimized by the use of
physical controls such as implementation of Work instructions, distribution of personal protective
equipment and training of employees. This methodology is illustrated in the following figure;

Diagram of Risk Reduction Methodology

Risk assessment is revised, in the following cases:


 Changes in working activities/methods.
 Results of internal HSE Audits
 Occurrence of accidents or emergencies
 Changes to the legislative requirements
 HSE Manager/HSE Officer revises risk assessment in collaboration with authorized
personnel and the results are communicated to all employees

11.7 METHOD STATEMENT


The accident prevention approach is based on these general prevention principles such as
avoiding risks, assessing risk, which cannot be avoided, combating the risk at source, adapting
the work to the individual, adapting to technical progress, replacing the dangerous by no

dangerous or less dangerous, developing a coherent overall prevention policy which covers
technology, work conditions etc. The work procedure is essential for accident prevention through
the analysis of risk through each phase of operation. Contractor will submit method statement in
accordance with the QCS 2014 requirements and contractual requirements for review and
approval of the Engineer. Prior to that, the MS will be reviewed and approved by Contractor
Quality Manager. As a general rule a method statement and shall be required for all work
packages. Method statement shall include a risk assessment, which identifies hazards
associated with the work and includes the mitigation measures, which will be followed to control
the hazards.
Method Statements should be prepared via the collaboration and feedback from all those
personnel directly undertaking the activity on Site.  The Site Engineer / Project Engineer should
review and include additional information outside the scope of the workers - e.g. such as the
number of concrete mixers / pump trucks / delivery intervals - and then the QA/QC Department
and Safety Team should also review and comment prior to the document being submitted.
This is to ensure that MS meet the requirements of the task, is relevant and comprehensive and
ensure safe system of work implementation.
The primary purpose of a Method of Statements (MOS) is to help Engineers, Supervisors,
Workers and any other persons at the workplace to understand the requirements that have been
established to carry out the high risks work in a safe and healthy manner.
It shall address as a minimum the following:

 Introduction/Scope
 Location and identification of the work covered by the method statement
 Permits and Licenses Required
 Specific Occupational Health and Safety Issues including Risk Assessments and Job
Safety Analysis

 Environmental Issues
 Quality Issues
 Responsibilities
 Sequence of Work
 Resources
 Drawings and Sketches
 Reference documentation
 Method Statements are required for all operations including temporary works.

Note1: No work covered by the Method Statement shall begin until it has been approved by the
Respective Engineer and client representative
Note 2: Approved MOS shall be one of the basis for conducting Risk Assessments/JSA

12 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE


12.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to define the process for identifying environmental aspects,
assessing their impact and mitigating their effects as far as reasonably possible. For more detail
kindly refer to (Appendix J )

12.2 GENERAL PROJECT RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT

 Significant use of resources including electricity (computers, lighting, etc.), water, fuel, paper
etc.
 Excavation and dewatering
 Cutting down tree if in the work area
 Significant levels of traveling undertaken during the course of activities – car usage, flights
etc.
 Contamination of local environment & water supply from sewage (waste disposal) and
vehicles (oil and fuel leaks).

Opportunities to improve environmental performance may include:

 Reduce the use of resources, leading to reduced costs.


 Promoting the use of “paperless” activities – e.g. digital storage of information rather than
hard copies.
 Promote recycling wherever possible.
 Minimize the dust while excavation and backfilling
 Minimize the cutting down the tree wherever possible.
 Minimize the fuel and water consumption.

12.3 IDENTIFYING ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS


Project Framework manager and HSE manager shall undertake the process of identifying the
environmental aspects in which they can influence. These aspects shall relate to the operational
activities of the Specific project.

Environmental aspects may include:

 Emissions to air
 Releases to water
 Releases to land
 Use of raw materials/natural resources
 Use of energy
 Noise pollution
 Light pollution
 Waste disposal

For each environmental aspect, the conditions in which the aspect is to occur shall be noted as
follows:

Normal conditions: A day to day activity such as driving, use of paper, water etc.

Abnormal conditions: Unusual events that would not usually occur during day to day activities.

Rev.08
MIC Construct
MIC Construct – WABAG/Roots –
APPLUS VELOSI Consortium

Emergency conditions: That the aspect would only occur in case of emergency situations –
e.g. release of toxic gas as a result of incidents such as explosions, fire etc.

12.4 ASSESSING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS


Upon identification of all environmental aspects relating to the project, HSE Manager and/or
Local HSE Representative (HSE Rep) shall identify what environmental impacts the aspect has
as well as their significance.

All aspects that are legally regulated and those environmental aspects which are treated as
critical based on Project work order requirements are directly considered “Significant”.

For the rest of the aspects, the environmental impact assessment should be undertaken. One of
the methodologies that can be used for assessing environmental impacts is a Risk matrix and its
categorization table( see in the Appendix J ).

All aspects with an impact level of moderate or above are considered “significant” and shall be
subject to further assessment and control measures to mitigate the impact of the identified
aspects, control measures shall be identified to both mitigate an aspect’s negative impact(s)
and/or increase the positive effects of an aspect. All established control measures for the
identified aspects will be documented.

These control measures shall be reviewed periodically (annually is recommended) to confirm


continued suitability and assess any further actions or potential improvements that can be made.

Project Aspects, impacts Register kindly refer Appendix L - Aspects, impacts Register

13 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Emergency procedures developed for the Project and the Management Team shall review and
ensure awareness of emergency procedures among all the project personnel (please refer to

13.1CONFINED SPACE EMERGENCY RESCUE PROCEDURES

13.1.1 Introduction
This procedure is designed to safely remove injured employees from a confined space with
little or no risk to other employees. Emergency rescue from a confined space by the site
personnel will occur in cases of immediately life-threatening occurrences such as heart
attack, engulfment by sudden accumulation of water, Heat stress and lack of
consciousness.

13.1.2 Rescue Equipment and Setup


Rescue equipment to be used by Contractor Group Site personnel includes a tripod with
retrieval system and body harnesses to be worn by employees going into the confined
space.
The tripod will be set up off to the side of manholes and checked for stability prior to entry
by the hole watcher and individuals who will be working in the confined space. Once cover
opened, the individuals involved will place the tripod with barriers over the manhole to
assure that it will fit the area and be stable for rescue. The tripod will remain above the
manhole until the confined space entry work finishes and all entrants are out of the confined
space safely.
Personnel entering the confined space will put the body harnesses attached to the tripod
before going into the space. All atmospheric testing and ventilation shall be conducted
according to the Contractor CONFINED SPACE PROGRAM. Under no circumstances will
the safety observer/attendant enter the confined space.

13.1.3 Emergency Rescue Procedure in Confined Spaces


If for any reason during the course of working in the confined space an employee becomes
ill, injured, engulfed, suffered heat stress or any other means that could threaten life, a
removal must be carried out, the safety observer will initiate the rescue process by pulling
out the entrant/s and will inform immediately to the supervisor, safety department.
If the condition of the victim will require, trained first aider will start the CPR.
HSE Officer/Supervisor will monitor and evaluate a prospective rescuer's ability to respond
to a rescue summons in a timely manner, considering the hazard(s) identified.
Each authorized entrant will be using a full body harness, with a retrieval line attached at
the center of the entrant's back near shoulder level and the other end of the retrieval line
shall be attached to a mechanical device (Tripod) or fixed point outside the confined space
in such a manner that rescue can begin as soon as the rescuer becomes aware that rescue
is necessary.
If depth or velocity of flow increases all personnel must leave the sewer immediately.

All site personnel who will be engaging in CSE should be fully aware of the
following:
 If top man calls for sewer team to leave sewer, all must immediately leave the sewer and
do not try to recover working equipment during an emergency evacuation.
 Do not attempt to recover a collapsed man. If man is still attached to lifeline, once all other
member of the team has left the sewer, the man can be pulled out of the sewer.

 If the fire services are used to recover injured man, top man should give details of sewer
layout, position of injured man and offer use of specialist equipment if required.
 If the injured man cannot be moved without expert medical attention, the full BA has a twin
mask facility which will allow for breathing for one hour at least.
 In the event of risk of drowning in the sewer a suitable mask which will operate underwater
should be available for emergency use.

Contractor H&S Management to assess the competency prior to the start working on site.
Subcontractor’s safety staff shall ensure the effective function of the occupational health and safety
within their organization. All HSE personnel should get approval from client.

To ensure that sub-contractors engaged with our activities are properly monitored and controlled, the
following controls itemized below will be implemented during the entire course of the Project.

15.1 PRE - QUALIFICATION OF SUB-CONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS

Contractor shall need to review qualification of subcontractors or suppliers before job, during and
after job. Its useful to access periodically re-qualify or perform evaluations. This will be useful for
contractors to assess the capabilities of subcontractors or suppliers regards to Past HSE
performs, quality & project performance and financial abilities, Previous approvals Etc.

The determination of a supplier or sub-contractors being qualified as “preferred” must be in


accordance to the Contract requirements Policy and its framework developments.

15.2 HSE EVALUATION OF SUB-CONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS


Contractors will be let to sub-contractors for elements of the construction work. A mandatory HSE
questionnaire will form part of the pre-qualification process. This will be evaluated against pre-set
HSE criteria. Contracts will include specific requirements for acceptance of and compliance with
the HSE management Plan. All sub- Contractors shall be required to have similar management
system and will satisfy compliance with the requirements of the HSE plan. An HSE inspection and
review of selected sub-contractor sites and premises will take place before contract commitment.

16 HSE INCIDENT REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION


The CONTRACTOR will follow incident notification and investigation in accordance with QCS 2014,
part 2.3.8.

The procedure (Appendix M) outlines the processes for responding to incidents when they occur and
ensuring that the necessary reporting is undertaken in a timely manner. Through effective
management of incidents, it is hoped that HSE awareness is increased and that future
reoccurrences of incidents are eliminated.

16.1 EVENTS (NEAR MISS)


The type of occurrences that did not lead to any injuries, property/ asset or environmental
damages or loss of production/process should be treated like any injury or property/environmental
damage and those require to be reported. The information obtained from such reporting can be
extremely useful in identifying and mitigating problems before they result in actual personal or
property damage.

Examples of near miss incidences required to be reported include:


 The falling of a compressed gas cylinder.

Date: 08/09/2022 Page 45 of 61 AA DOM 2018 M 1867 G-HSP-Contractor-


Rev.08
MIC Construct
MIC Construct – WABAG/Roots –
APPLUS VELOSI Consortium

 Overexposures to chemical, biological, or physical agents (not resulting in an immediately


observable manifestation of illness or injury).
 Slipping and falling on a wet surface without injury.

All near miss incidents are also required to be reported to HSE Officer/Site Engineers and
Frameworks/Project Manager. Notification shall also be informed to ASHGHAL within 24 hours
and investigated by the investigation team to prepare an Incident Investigation Report

Contractor openly encourage near miss/event reporting which is vital in creating a climate which
sustains communication and co-operation to rectify unsafe situations or conditions and therefore
preventing the situation or condition eventually causing harm.

16.2 REPORTING OF UNSAFE ACTS, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS AND UNSAFE


OBSERVATIONS
As one of the pro-active approach in HSE, Contractor has adopted a program that benefits in
two ways;
 Encouraging a proactive culture. That is, identifying unsafe behaviors as they occur while
providing immediate verbal feedback at the time during the observation and
 Reinforcement of the safety culture through recognition and encouragement of positive
behaviors and peer or supervisor coaching or correction of negative behaviors

The reporting of unsafe acts, conditions and safe behaviors can be done in two ways using
a. HSE Notification Report
b. HSE Observation Card

The said program will help the overall HSE Performance of the organization since it will show the
trends of observations that is occurring on real time basis and most especially, preventing actual
incidents that can result to injury or property damage.

16.5 INCIDENT INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE


SELECTION OF INVESTIGATORS

 The investigator as a person or committee of two or more persons must be efficient. The
investigator is usually the person who is directly responsible for the area or the injured person
and has the most interest in solving the problem. Selection of the investigator on investigation
team depends on various factors such as type of incident and its loss potential.
 Investigation of some incidents with high loss potential and nonconformity should be
conducted by an investigation team, but incidents with low loss potential can be conducted by
one investigator, for that, lost time/fatal and major incidents shall be investigated by a suitably
selected team from the company and FM/PM is the investigation Team Leader and will select
the investigation team.
 A near miss or minor incidents must be investigated by HSE Officer.

INITIAL ACTIONS

HSE Officer shall take photographs (If possible) and accurate notes and sketches of the salient
points made at the earliest possible moment.

GATHERING INFORMATION

 The investigator(s) should always look over the scene of the incident and surrounding
environment in order to get a mental picture that will allow him to determine what elements
are involved: i.e. people, equipment, materials and environment.

 One of the most important aspects of incident investigation is speed. It is important and
even vital, to arrive at the scene of an incident before people have had time to change their
minds, as sometimes happens to cover up by concocted story of the injured colleague, and
to see the scene before anything is moved / altered.
 Getting a statement of facts from witnesses is generally a difficult task and can be expected
to become more and more difficult as time elapses.
 A good basic in investigation requires a look at the tools, equipment and materials that
people were using.
 In order to determine the basic causes of incidents, the investigator should check
procedures, sketches, maps, photos, maintenance records, etc.
 Photos of the incident scenes are very useful. They can reveal much about the incident and
save hours of note-taking and drawing

FACT ANALYSIS

Reaching conclusions and making recommendations need a strict analysis of the facts; the first
target of an investigation is to gather the facts about what caused the incident. The gathering of
facts is an operation to be conducted by the Project Team.

ACTIONS

After reaching to the conclusions and making recommendations, the Investigation Team has to
complete the Incident Report (CFW-QHSE-FMT-033) and identify the following:
 Direct causes.
 ROOTS causes.
 Corrective actions: adequate controls (corrective actions) will minimize or eliminate the
problems.
 Opportunities for corrective actions: adequate investigation will give a chance to identify the
cause and adopt corrective actions for re-occurrence.
 Recommendations for continual improvement

COMMUNICATION OF RESULTS

When the investigation of significant or high risk incidents reveals a significant learning potential
the lessons learned should be communicated with corrective actions within through toolbox talks
and meetings

PARTICIPATION

Workers will be participating in all steps of incident investigation.


INCIDENT ANALYSIS REVIEW

 HSE statistics and analysis are one measure of HSE performance.


 HSE statistics are collected from initial incident reports, investigations and analysis to
indicate frequencies and trends with regard to the kind of injury, cause, occupation, types of
incident, tools, equipment used, etc.
