This document will serve as a reference document to all matters relating to Health and Safety
during the implementation phase of the project.
It should be read in conjunction with the relevant NOKIA Safe Working Procedures, Project
Baseline Risk Assessment and NOKIA Health and Safety Specifications.
The below chart describes the steps (HOW is it done, WHEN to be done and WHO
does it) to meet the health and safety requirements in Customer Operation Projects in all
project life cycle, including the health and safety contractor management part
The steps for H&S Project Management for CO projects and associated tasks were
integrated with the CO Program Lifecycle Process (PLC).
NOKIA Nigeria will approach its activities in a manner that will ensure compliance to Country specific
Health, Safety and Environmental laws and regulations and this will be achieved by planning, use of
policies, and the development and implementation of effective procedures.
Nokia Nigeria maintains a legal register containing the Nigeria specfic laws and regulations that governs
Nokia activities

5.3 Specialist Permitted Sub-Contracted Delivered Work – with Nokia Prior Approval
Workplace – Any physical location in which work related activities are performed under the control of this project
(e.g. National Project Office, regional Project Offices, Customer’s premise, Sites, Test-plant, etc.)
Hazard – Source, situation, or act with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill health, or a combination
of these
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(s)
Evaluating of risk arising from each hazard – Estimate and evaluate how likely it is that a hazard will cause
harm, how serious that harm is likely to be; how often (and how many) workers are exposed.
Likelihood
Descriptor Level Definition
Unlikely Level 1 Numerous control measures would have to be intentionally by-passed. Very
little chance of happening/not foreseeable
May Happen Level 2 Control measures may fail or may be defeated. Sometime in 100 years.
Likely Level 3 There is an even chance this may happen. Within 10 years.
Very Likely Level 4 Control measures depend on a person using them on every occasion e.g.
administrate controls alone, PPE only etc. Within 1 year.
Certain Level 5 Harm from the hazard is certain or imminent if no control measures are
provided. Next shift.
Severity
Descriptor Level Definition
Minor Level 1 Slight injury (small paper-cut). Slight damage to equipment. Minimal cost.
No downtime. Very slight spill/small scale contamination.
Appreciable Level 2 Minor injury or first aid. No lost time (sprain/cut). Minor damage/parts
replacement. Minor contamination.
Major Level 3 Hospital treatment or lost time (severe cut/fracture etc.) Localized damage.
Localized contamination/spill.
Severe Level 4 Permanent disability e.g. amputation, blindes etc. Major damage to
equipment. Large-scale contamination.
Catastrophic Level 5 Fatality/multiple fatalities. Extensive damage to property. Major uncontained
release.
Hazards
Descriptor Definition
Physical Hazard directly generating the potential for physical injury
Chemical Hazard generated by materials and substances
Risk Controls – Determining controls for reducing risks according to the following hierarchy:
Descriptor Definition
Elimination Complete remove the hazard (e.g. removal of hazardous substance from the workplace)
Substitution Change a work practice, substance or piece of equipment to provide a safer environment
(e.g. substitute old office chair to ergonomic chair to reduce the risk of ergonomic
injuries)
Engineering Modify the design of the workplace or plant and/or environmental conditions (e.g. the
use of fume extracting system to remove fumes generated by hazardous substance use in
labs)
Administrative Developing procedures and systems to control the interaction between people and
hazards (e.g. reducing the amount of time of exposure to hazards, like climb up a tower
to complete the antenna system integration)
Personal Implementing PPE to prevent physical contact between people and hazards (e.g. correct
protective footwear, gloves, etc.)
equipment

1. General Awareness
Everyone working for Nokia, whose role involves working on or coming into proximity of electrical
systems, circuits and installations must receive sufficient training related to the electrical risks to which
they are exposed.
The training must cover the risks arising from Nokia or customer electrical equipment and the
associated electrical installation i.e. fixed wiring, switches breakers, protective devices, power supplies,
or batteries, in the general vicinity.
The training must cover the defined rules, expected behaviors and controls detailed in this standard
The training must cover the “right to refuse” to work on something they believe is dangerous and the
escalation process to be followed for both unsafe practices and reporting unsafe installations
Live working is normally prohibited, however if it is not possible to isolate the circuits concerned, or
de-energizing them creates a greater hazard, an exception process must be established which ensures:
The reasons for the work needing to be conducted live are recorded.
A safe system of work is defined by a person competent in managing live working and the controls
necessary to reduce the very high risks involved.
There are at least two qualified persons present i.e. lone working is not permitted
Swapping out circuit boards or packs that are designed to be swapped out whilst the rack or unit is
powered up is not considered “live” working.

All incidents – Near Misses, Fatal, Critical or Hipo cases to be reported to the project QHS respondible using the
Nokia Incident reporting form and other means of communication.
Nokia aim to involve both contractors and the customer in the investigation where appropriate and report sent to all
parties.
NOKIA will promptly report any HSE incident, injury, lost time incidents and near misses to Airtel
Within a reasonable period a report is to be provided to Airtel containing details of the incident,
contributing factors and corrective actions.
NOKIA will ensure reports are prepared within the timeline and will be submitted to Airtel by the Project
Manager.
In addition to the formal reporting requirements outlined below, NOKIA will verbally inform Airtel of
significant incidents, should they occur, to effectively keep it informed of situations or events particularly
if there is an impact on or involvement with stakeholders.
Additionally, once per year, a specific High-Risk Project H&S Implementation Assessment (HRPIA) is
performed to objectively identify possible improvements. All related records are stored in HRPIA
