HAZARD IDENTIFICATION PLAN

1. Objective
This HIP [Hazard Identification Plan] has been formulated for implementation in accordance with applicable Saudi Aramco General Instructions, safety
polices and standards. This is a confirmation of the commitment of SMART HYDROJETTING CO. LTD.. to safeguard, protect lives, and property of
Saudi Aramco; and any other third party in connection with the work to be performed.

To achieve this objective, the SMART HYDROJETTING CO. LTD. management, in coordination with the concerned Saudi Aramco Project Engineer,
Environmental Protection Dept. Loss Prevention Department, and other applicable agencies as required, are to make a joint site visit to identify the
potential hazards of the work to be undertaken and to initiate control measures to maintain adequate safety for the duration of the work.

2. Scope of work
This project consists of SMART Hydrojetting of full / partially blocked tubes at Uthmaniyah Gas Plant wide,

5. Responsibilities
The Project Manager is responsible for the implementation of this procedure. He is to ensure that the necessary resources have been implemented to comply
with the project requirements.
The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring that the list of hazards identified is relevant and exhaustive. He has to ensure that the construction team is
fully aware of the hazard identification process when preparing a new activity ensures that the process is properly followed. He is responsible to ensure the
team identifying and assessing the hazards have the proper information concerning the interfaces with the other construction activities. He is responsible for
the communication of the hazards generated by one activity to another.

The Site HSE Supervisor is responsible to compile the hazards identification documents. He is to ensure the contents are relevant and exhaustive. He is to
ensure the employees involved in the hazard identification have the necessary tools to conduct an efficient analysis. He is to ensure all the topics (health,

4
safety, environment and security) are covered if applicable. He is to ensure the hazard identification is regularly reviewed and in case of a long-term activity to
consider the evolution of the working environment, the turnover of the employee, etc.…

The HSE Officer is part of the working group. He is responsible to verify the hazard identification is relevant compared to the activity carried out on site.

6. General Hazards Identifications

6.1 Method
A general hazard identification list is to be developed for the project main activities. This is to help for the preparation of the method statements, of the safety
measures to be put on place prior to start these activities, to ensure the workers have the proper level of training for the task they have to perform, to ensure
all the safety means required for the safety are identified and will be adequate to the task.

The project hazard identification is to follow the steps identified there after:

 Identify the main activities, which will be performed during the project, independently of the time and duration.
 Identification of the area where the activity is to be carried out. That will be mainly "all sites".
 Identification of the potential hazards linked to the activity. The health, safety, security and environmental hazards are to be considered.
 List the mitigation/corrective measures to mitigate these potential hazards.
 To assess these hazards. Three classes are used to quantify the potential consequences of an accident resulting of these hazards. They are:

6.2 Hazards Classifications


Once the hazards are identified, they will be classified as Class A, B, or C.

5
 Class “A” Hazards

A condition or practice that is likely to cause permanent disability, loss of life or body part and/or extensive loss of structure, equipment or material.

 Class “B” Hazards

A condition or practice that is likely to cause serious injury or illness (resulting in temporary disability) or property damage that is disruptive, but less
severe than Class “A.

 Class “C” Hazards

A condition or practice, which is likely to cause minor (non-disabling) injury, illness, or non- disruptive property damage.

 Inspections
 Management visits
 All these site observations will be recorded and included in the review of the hazard identification list.

6.3 Mitigation Measures


Mitigation measures are to be identified to prevent the hazards to generate accidents. Nevertheless, the mitigation measures are to:
 Focus on the collective measures rather on individual measures, before all aspects (technically, schedule,) applicable during the hazard’s
presence, the effectiveness of the mitigation measures will be controlled on site by the HSE Department. In case of inappropriate measure, it has to
be replaced by an efficient measure allowing a safe level for the workers.

7. Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

6
For the hazardous activities, the unusual activities, a Job Safety Analyses is to be issued.

The JSA method is:


 Identification of the elementary steps of the task,
 Identification of the material, the tools, equipment and vehicles required.
 Identification of the hazards associated to the task itself, to the equipment, to the manpower, to the product, to the interfaces, to the environment
(weather).
 Identification of the mitigation measures to be put on place. Several measures are to be identified for single hazards as the measures have not the
same weight (organizational measures such as procedures, training, are different compared to physical measures such as barricades, safety harness).
Before the job starts, information contained in the JSA is to be transmitted to the team, which is going to perform the job. The supervisor or the field
Supervisor conducts this pre-job meeting. When the pre-job meeting has been completed, the JSA is to be signed by the workers and supervisors,
certifying they are aware of the hazards and the mitigation measures. The JSA is to be available at the workplace to allow direct access to the
information until the completion of the activity.
