a. Excavations and Trenches
Before work commences the project, management team must consider the location of all buried
services and ensure that mechanical excavation is not used in the vicinity.
Excavation works will only be carried out under the BKGCC Permit to Excavate. A copy of the permit
will be retained in the cab of the excavator or by the supervisor of the works where hand digging is
carried out. The Permit must detail the service detection investigation method utilised by the
contractor (i.e. Cat and Genny). Prior to the works starting all operatives / plant operators involved
must be briefed regarding the method statement / risk assessment and the contents of the Permit to
Excavate. The permit must identify the approved profile of each Excavation. The permit must detail
hold points associated with the excavation process.
During the excavation process, works must immediately stop, and further guidance be obtained if
any variance from the expected location of services or other conditions is found.
If a trench or excavation cannot be made safe by sloping or battering the sides, some form of support
may be required.
Considering the above factors, the appropriate method of support can be made:
Battering back sides of excavation to a suitable angle.
Timber framing.
Horizontal sheeting.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 53 of 150

Sheet piling.
Trench box
Drag box
Hydraulic shoring system.
Only trained persons under the supervision of a competent person may carry out any excavation or
support works. All excavations must be inspected by a competent person.
Where persons, plant and/or materials could fall into excavations, pits and holes – or where the
collapse of the excavation sides is a risk – barriers or edge protection is provided, and all edges are
sloped to suitable gradients where necessary.
Guarding of excavations protection against falls includes the following elements:
Where a person may fall into an excavation, suitable barriers must be erected, but it is sensible to
erect barriers even for quite shallow excavations where anyone falling may come to harm.
Barriers should also serve to keep materials, plant, and equipment away from the edges of an
excavation.
Barriers may be removed to permit access of men, plant, and equipment, etc., but should be
replaced.
During darkness, the edges of an excavation should be marked with hazard warning lights,
especially where they are close to public thoroughfares.
Where excavation work is carried out on the roads all necessary and appropriate barricades and
warning notices shall be erected.
Where vehicles are used for tipping materials into an excavation, safety measures such as well
anchored stop blocks should be used to prevent the vehicle overrunning the edge.
These must be placed at a sufficient distance from the edge to avoid the danger of it breaking away
under the weight of vehicles.
Excavations must be inspected by an experienced and competent person, before work starts, at
least once a day, and before each shift.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 54 of 150

Worker Awareness
Adequate signage, barriers and lighting must be provided to prevent falls into excavations adjacent
to thoroughfares.
Barricades, lighting and posting shall be installed as appropriate prior to the start of excavation
operations. All temporary excavations of this type shall be backfilled as soon as possible.
Wells, holes, pits, and similar excavations must be effectively barricaded or covered and posted.
Walkways or bridges used to cross excavations must be designed and equipped with standard
guardrails and be of non-slip material.
Excavation Access
The preferred method of access to excavations and or trenches is by temporary system staircases,

hazards would include mixing risks. Concrete dust can cause breathing problems. Concrete is
composed of small pieces of stone, called aggregate. When these stones are mixed with cement,
the tiny particles of aggregate dust can be dispersed into the air and inhaled.
Pouring risks. Concrete can be slippery until it dries. If any bit of the wet mixture gets on a worker’s
boots or the ground, it can cause the worker to slip and fall. Furthermore, the alkaline properties of
wet cement can be caustic. If the cement splashes on the skin and isn’t removed quickly, the
chemicals in the mixture can lead to third-degree burns.
Drying risks. Concrete slabs can weigh more and are at risk for tipping, shifting, and falling on those
around them.
Concrete Dangers
Workers falling onto concrete slabs.
Workers being crushed by slabs falling from cranes or forklifts.
Workers getting pinned between concrete slabs.
Workers suffering heatstroke while cleaning truck mixer drums.
Workers being impaled on rebar sticking out of concrete slabs.
Workers getting caught in concrete mixers or covered with concrete.
Workers being burned or blinded by concrete chemicals.
Workers suffering back injuries from lifting heavy concrete slabs.
Concrete Protection
Considering the amount of risk involved when dealing with concrete, it’s no surprise that the BKGCC
mandate safe system of work for workers. These mandates include:
Hazard communication. In addition to warning employees of the potential risks, employers must also
provide adequate warning signs and guards when cement hazards are present on the construction
site.
Respiratory protection. BKGCC provide workers with face masks or ventilators when there is a threat
of cement-related air pollution on site.
Ear protection. Mixing, pouring, cutting, and drilling into concrete can be noisy, and cause permanent
hearing loss or ear damage to those around it. Therefore, BKGCC to provide adequate ear
protection—such as ear plugs and noise-cancelling.
Skin protection. To avoid burns from contact with wet concrete and cement, employers must supply
workers with alkali-resistant gloves and coveralls, as well as provide access to emergency washing
stations.

Lifting Operations
All project crane lifting operations are subject to specific safe lifting requirements in accordance
‘BS7121, Part 1 - The Safe Use of Cranes’ [i.e. BS7121].
BKGCC will have a trained ‘Appointed Person’, where crane lifting operations will be undertaken.
The appointed person will be responsible for the effective planning and control of their lifting
operations in accordance with the requirements of this standard and ‘BS7121’.
BKGCC will Ensure that where necessary lifting activities are controlled by issuance of permit.
A project specific lifting plan will be submitted to the consultant prior to commencing crane lifting
activities. The lifting plan will adequately address the control of safety of their operations in
accordance with BS7121.
The BKGCC appointed person has overall authority in respect to the safety of crane lifting
operations.
Lifting Supervisor will be present who will be responsible for directing the day to day lifting
operations in accordance with agreed and planned methods
The lifting supervisor’s role is to:
Ensure lifting operations only commence after the task lifting plan has been approved by the project
team and has been co-ordinated with other lifting operations.
Supervise lifting operations to ensure they are carried out in a safe manner fully in line with the
agreed lifting plan. Including supervision of crane drivers and slingers/signallers under their control
but in liaison with the appointed crane/lifting managers from other project stakeholders.
To ensure works are stopped if any deviations from the lifting plan is likely to occur.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 67 of 150
Version: 0
Ensure that all relevant parties Crane Operator and Slingers / Signallers etc. are briefed and trained
in the requirements of the relevant lifting plan.
The level of supervision required for each lift will depend on the complexity of the risks associated
with the operation. Some lifts dependents on complexity and risk may always require continuous
supervision by the Crane Supervisor during the lift. Other repeated lifts of less complexity or risk may
only require the Crane Supervisor to ensure the operation is set up correctly with all relevant parties
understanding the safe system of work / lifting plan and action to take if conditions / circumstance
change that may affect the lift. The lifting operation must then be regularly monitored.
This role may be combined with other roles. However, they must always have sufficient time to
supervise all lifts and Slinger / Signallers under their control and personally supervise non-generic lifts
standard and complex lifts i.e. formwork table extraction from building etc.
Prior to works commencing all crane operators and slingers must have proof of competency as
prescribed in local laws and regulations and proof of competency should be conducted prior to
operators and slingers commencing on site.
All projects will conduct periodic inspections of proof of competency to ensure that relevant
certificates/ qualifications exist and are current.
Any slingers or operators without current proof of competency will be removed from site. Crane
operators working without proof of competence is a serious offence and any breach should be
reported to the local health and safety regulatory authority.
Lift Planning
All lifting operations will be planned to ensure that they are carried out safely and that all foreseeable
risks have been considered. In cases of repetitive or routine operations, periodic review may be
required to ensure no factors have changed. Planning will include consideration of the following:
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 68 of 150
Version: 0
The amount and detail of planning required for a lifting operation will depend on the complexity and
risk involved. Lifting operations can be divided into the three categories, as detailed in the sections
below. In each case a risk assessment must be carried out as part of the planning process and the
results of the assessment and planning is recorded in a method statement, which may well take the
form of the Lifting Plan. The detail required in the Method statement/Plan will vary with the
complexity of the lift.
To summarise - before any lift takes place, one of the following must be produced and
communicated to all relevant parties:
Basic Lifts
Where the load to be lifted is of established weight, and there are no hazards or obstructions within
the area of operation. Typical examples of the type of load are:
Standard Lifts
Where the load to be lifted is of established weight and there are hazards to be considered, either
within the working area of the crane, or on the access route to the working area, but no multiple
crane lifting is involved. Typical examples of hazards are:
Pick and carry duties;
Over sailing other cranes;
Lifting persons.
Complex Lifts
Where the lifting operation requires more than one crane to lift the load, or a crane using load
enhancement attachments (Super lift etc.) or the lift is to take place at a location with exceptional
hazards such as a chemical plant.
General Crane Requirements
All cranes must be examined and certified by a competent person before first use and at
regular intervals in accordance with local legislation.
The current test/examination certificate must be available before any crane is operated.
The certificate must have attached a written statement from a qualified engineer
confirming that the crane has been built in accordance with all statutory and manufactures
requirements and that it is in good condition and suitable for its intended use.

All crane cabs will have a suitable fire extinguisher.
The manufacturer’s manual supplied with the crane normally provides details of the
regular inspection requirements and must be strictly followed. A visual inspection of the
entire machine and any tracks, etc., should be made before the crane is put to work.
The crane should be put through all motions by the driver and any defects reported
immediately. All brakes and clutches should be checked for correct operation.
A competent person must be appointed to carry out a weekly inspection which should be
recorded on the company format. This inspection should include the crane structure, and
mechanical components together with any structural ties, track etc. and the correct
functioning of the safe load indicator.
Cranes must be structurally sound and fitted with appropriate safety devices.
Before operating a crane, operators must ensure the crane test and maintenance certificates are
current.
The crane logbook is to be completed by the operator to detail any faults or issues with
the crane and record their use.
Pre- operational checks are carried out and include.
Crane is free of visual defects
Controls are in good condition, operational with legible markings
Ropes (not damaged)
Hooks (in good condition)
Runways (clear of obstacles)

Version: 0
3.2 Definitions (Severe Weather)
1) Lightning - All large-scale, high tension, natural, electrical discharge in the atmosphere.
the visible flash of light accompanying such discharge.
2) High Winds and Rain - When the winds or rain become a hazard to the work force, or the
work being performed. Wind approximately 30 mph and rain limiting visibility or footing.
Danger Signs
• An approaching cloud of debris can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel is not
visible.
• Before a tornado hits, the wind may die down and the air may become very still.
If in an Office complex
• Avoid places with wide span roofs such as auditoriums, cafeterias, or large hallways.
• Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a workbench or heavy table or desk and
hold on to it.
• Use arms to protect head and neck.
If outdoors
• If shelter is not available or there is no time to get indoors, lie down in a ditch or low-
lying area or crouch near a strong building.
If in a vehicle
• Never try to out drive a tornado in a car or truck. Tornadoes can change direction quickly
and can flip up a car or truck and toss it through the air.
• Get out of the car immediately and take Shelter in a nearby building.
• If there is no time to get indoors, get out of the car and lie in a ditch or low laying area
away from the vehicle. Be aware of the potential for flooding.

a) secure all loose objects and material, i.e., ladders, pallets, drums, trash in dumpsters, etc.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 98 of 150
Version: 0
Board up all window glass.
Employees not at the project should listen to the radio. Site Management will have
bulletins broadcast informing employees as to when to return to work or other instructions.
After a Tornado
Help injured or trapped persons.
Give first aid when appropriate. Don't try to move the seriously injured unless they are in
immediate danger of further injury. Call for assistance if required.
• Stay out of damaged buildings. Return home only when authorities say it is safe.
• Use the telephone only for emergency calls
• Clean up spilled fluids, solutions, or gasoline or other flammable liquids immediately.
Leave the buildings if you smell gas or chemical fumes.
• Take pictures of the damage for insurance purposes.
Appropriate material should be available and stored on the project to facilitate the securing of
project property, materials, and equipment, i.e., rope wire boards/plywood.

2) Look for electrical system damage-If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, or if smell hot
insulation, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. If you must step in
water to get the fuse box or circuit breaker, call an electrician first for advice.
3) Check for sewage and water lines damage-If you suspect sewage lines are damaged,
avoid using toilets and call the appropriate service for repairs. If water pipes are damaged,
contact the water company and avoid using water from the tap.
3.5 Mitigation
Mitigation includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency
happening, or lesson the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies. I am investing in
preventive mitigation steps now, such as checking local building codes and ordinances about wind
resistant designs and strengthening non-reinforced masonry will help reduce the impact of
tornadoes in the future. For more information, contact your local emergency management office.
4.0 COSHH
4.1 COSHH ITEMS HAZARDS CONTROL PLAN
Contain and clean up procedure in case if spill -
Oil spillage is a common problem wherever there are a significant number of vessels berthed or
oil stored, or vessel traffic.
Even small oil spillage has an additive and detrimental effect on the marine environment.
In the event of an environmental emergency, such as a chemical or oil spill, the following
procedure will be followed.
• Where safe to do so, close off the source of spill or leak, taking appropriate precaution
to avoid exposure.
• Confine the spill or leak.
• Avoid inhalation of vapour and contact with skin and eyes by using appropriate PPE.
• DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING, NAKED LIGHT OR IGNITION SOURCE.
• Transfer the material from damage to other container or remove as appropriate.
• Absorb or contain spill or leak residues with sand, earth or some other
appropriate absorbent.
• DO NOT ALLOW THE SPILLAGE TO ENTER DRAINS OR SEWERS.
• Refer to the MSDS.
• POLLUTED LAND MUST BE CLEANED UPTO BACKGROUND LEVEL OF
THE CONTAMINANTS.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 100 of 150
Version: 0
1. Ensure the appropriate environmental emergency equipment such as spill kits are available
at all times and are appropriately located for fast access at all locations on the site.
• Containment equipment/ kits should be used to contain spills in accordance with the
MSDS.
• If spill occurs on land, block nearby drainage channels with earth or sandbags.
• If the spill occurs during wet weather and in the vicinity of a natural watercourse or in an
environmentally sensitive area, take immediate extra precautions such as construction of
earth mounds downstream of the spill and blocking-off natural drainage channels with earth
or sandbags.
• If the spill occurs over water use spill containment devices such as floating booms and
screens.
• Refer to the MSDS for further containment advice and treatment advice.
• Notify the Site Foreman, who will in turn notify the Environmental Protection Officer
to ensure that the incident has been closed out appropriately.
a. All flammable liquids are to be stored in well ventilated, shaded and detached areas,
which are used for no other purpose.
b. When in use in the workplace, flammable liquids and gases should be kept to a minimum
volume. Liquids must be contained in appropriate receptacles with secure lids.
In general, flammable materials must not be stored near exits, Near to Electrical equipment
or heating equipment.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 101 of 150
Version: 0
PPE: The employer must ensure that workers have appropriate protective equipment. This may
include a respirator to protect from airborne vapour concentrations above occupational exposure
limits, fire retardant clothing, protective gloves, chemical goggles to prevent injury to the eyes
from chemical splashes or protect from fire or airborne vapours, and personal gas detectors.
The purpose of a bund is to provide a storage area that is capable of containing a spilled fluid to
prevent the pollution of the surrounding environment. The following bund construction specifications
are a useful guideline:
▪ The volume of the bund should be a minimum of 110% of the largest single tank volume.
▪ The bund walls and floor should be impervious to the liquids being stored. Use formed
concrete or concrete block walls and a concrete floor. Alternatively, an impervious liner
shaped to hold a significant volume of the stored fluid can be used. It should be
considered that the walls must be strong enough to withhold any spillage.
▪ The bund must also be designed to contain liquid leaks, with consideration of the trajectory
of a leak, assuming a full tank of fluid leaking from near the top.
▪ Place any pipe work over bund walls. If pipes go through the walls, ensure the set-up is
impervious to liquid. Place hose couplings inside the bund.
▪ Bunds should have a drainpipe from the bund low point, preferably with a locked stainless-
steel valve located outside the bund wall. This will allow the bund to be emptied in a
controlled manner.
▪ Adequate ground protection must also be provided adjacent to the bunds so that hazardous
liquid transfer takes place over a sealed surface.
▪ Bunded areas must be large enough to allow the storage of drums and other containers
containing hazardous liquids.

BKGCC and few of its sub-contractor employees are required to work at height for performing
various construction activities. All possible precautions will be / are taken to ensure safety of
personnel involved according to the approved MSRA. (Method Statement and Risk Assessment).
General arrangement for working at height are scaffolding platforms; inspected and tagged by
trained and certified inspectors. Where third party certification is required for scaffold such as
hanging / cantilever scaffold etc. Company will get it certified by Authority approved third
party, before allowing personnel to use it.
Scaffolds will be erected only by trained and competent scaffolders under competent supervision.
No unauthorized modification of scaffold will be allowed, and site supervision needs to
coordinate with scaffolding team for any such requirements.
Operative to wear FBH while working at height on scaffolds, MEWP other than small stationary or
mobile scaffolds inside the rooms. No personnel will be allowed to work alone, especially when
working at height.
During the installation of formwork, BKGCC will ensure adequate precaution is taken as mentioned
in the approved MSRA. Life line will be provided to anchor full body harness and full-time competent
supervision is ensured when working near the unprotected edges.
BKGCC and or its sub-contractor may use MEWP as per approved MSRA for activities. All
applicable legal requirement and best practice will be followed to ensure safe operation of such
equipment’s.
All Scaffolds platform are provided with edge protection handrails as per standard requirements
and all personnel who are working on it must wear full body harness anchored to a point above
their head. A possibility of a fall, though is very unlikely from this completed scaffold, cannot be
ruled out completely.
To provide medical attention: - The worker might have suffered injury due to the impact
of the fall which may require immediate medical attention
To prevent suspension trauma: - If a worker is suspended in his safety harness for a long
period of time (more than 10-20 minutes), it may lead to suspension trauma.
To avoid worker getting panicked which may lead to other complications: - The
worker suspended on a harness may get panic if not rescued quickly.
5. Rescue
Procedure
1.Self – Rescue
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 121 of 150
Version: 0
In case a fall occurs from the scaffold and the personal is suspended on his full body harness, in
many cases the fallen person himself should be able to rescue himself by climbing back to the
scaffolding, if they are not seriously injured or unconscious. The suspended worker shall try to
get hold of any scaffolding
components such as standard or ledger and pull himself back to the platform. The coworkers, if
necessary, shall drop a strong rope tied to any structure to help the person to hold and pull himself
back to the platform.
2. Assisted Rescue
Where self-rescue is not possible, the following action must be implemented by his coworkers and
supervisor.
He should immediately reach to the lower platform (where available) or the balcony below from
where he can support the person suspended on the harness. Meanwhile he should ask someone
in the area to pass the message by calling project Hotline number, or the area safety officer
informing about the incident and the location.
Once reached on the lower platform/ balcony, he shall help the person suspended on the harness
to support his leg at a suitable location, ideally on the handrail/mid rail of the platform. This is
important to prevent suspension trauma.
Once this is done, if the person is conscious and not injured, help him to reach back to the scaffold
platform or in the balcony.
Until the person rescued safely within the scaffolding platform or within the balcony, the harness
shall not be removed from the anchorage point.
Rescuers shall ensure they wear full body harness and anchor it to a suitable anchorage point
before attempting to assist the fallen person. Do not put themselves in danger.
Where there is no platform below, and the fallen person is close to the ground level, the supervisor
shall arrange a suitable ladder to help the worker suspended to support himself on the ladder.
Once he is safely on the ladder and confirmed not injured and able to come down the ladder on his
own, his harness shall be removed from the anchor point to let him come down slowly. However, a
separate lowering line shall be arranged, and his harness shall be anchored to it to safely lower
the person through the ladder safely. This line shall be adequately tied to a suitable structure
and slowly released as the worker go down the ladder.
Where a mobile scaffold can be used for rescue, bring or assemble it below the area where the
person is suspended and support him to land on the platform and come down.

1. INTRODUCTION
In January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the outbreak of a new coronavirus
disease in Hubei Province, China, which is commonly known as COVID – 19.
The common belief is that the disease is spread by the release of droplets when an infected person
who has COVID – 19, either coughs, sneezes, or exhales. Those who are not affected, can catch
COVID -19, by touching contaminated surfaces or objects, and then touching their eyes, nose,
mouth, or face.
The main displayed symptoms of an infected person are high temperature, runny nose, cough, and
severe cases shortness of breath.
BKGCC is working with its Clients, Suppliers, Sub-Contractors, and Employees to protect and
contain any the spread of COVID – 19, by actively taking preventative measures.
The Company is also following the applicable guidance provided by the KSA Government, and its
respective departments, which are specific to the Construction Industry.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this guidance and plan is to inform our Clients, Suppliers, Sub-Contractors, and
Employees of the actions we are taking and will take to manage any cases of COVID – 19

when they are not feeling well, and line managers are to also encourage employees to take
medical attention should someone in the office/project is not feeling well, if required, a line
manager can send someone for medical attention, should they be displaying COVID – 19
symptoms.
positive case showed symptoms or two days before the positive case got the PCR test done or during
the 10 days of the illness.
The Government definition of a Confirmed Case is “A person with positive test COVID-19 infection
reported by the laboratory, irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms”
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 127 of 150
Version: 0
Close Contact with a Confirmed Case
Employees who have come into Close Contact with a Confirmed Case, are to firstly notify their Line
Manager, then HR Department, and complete the Close Contact Questionnaire (BKGCC – WI PE
055; BKGCC - WI PE 056) and submit to HR Department.
Employees are to remain in self-isolation (at home) and monitor for any fever and/or respiratory
symptoms (cough, shortness of breath) for a period of 10 days. “The 10-day quarantine period begins
2 days before the confirmed COVID-19 positive case undertook a PCR test or two days before the
confirmed COVID-19 positive case showed any COVID-19 symptoms, if you met the confirmed
COVID-19 case for more than 15 minutes and if the physical distance maintained was 1 meter or less.
Quarantine can end after Day 10 without testing if no symptoms were reported during daily
monitoring”.
“Due to wide spread of the disease, it is not recommended to test all close contacts (until or unless
they develop symptoms)”
Employees displaying symptoms of COVID-19 or are at higher risk of developing respiratory
complications should be tested for COVID-19.
The Labour Accommodation, which is provided for our workforce, is in compliant of local regulations,
and Municipality and Civil Defence approved Camps.

Heat stress can affect individuals in different ways, and some people are more susceptible to it than
others. To prevent heat stress reaching dangerous levels employees and their supervisors must be
able to recognize the symptoms and preventative measures. The following table identifies the effects
of Heat related illness and how they can be prevented and treated.
Each person while working in hot conditions will be trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of
heat stress related illnesses and early warning indications, so they can recognize them in themselves
or their colleagues.

Workload- The body generates more heat during heavy physical work such. Working in hot
weather will generate heat placing construction workers at risk of developing heat stress
without proper controls.
Type of work- Heavy construction work requires more physical effort generating more
body heat.
Clothing & PPE- Heat stress can be caused or aggravated by wearing PPE such as fire-
retardant clothing and non-breathable garments.

Alcohol: Alcohol flushes out valuable electrolytes and dehydrates the body.
Internal training shall be further enhanced by displaying signs and safety notices in multiple
languages throughout site.
7.2 Acclimatization
Acclimatization may be required for new employees, employees working at temperatures to which they
have not been exposed for several weeks or longer, or employees assigned to new jobs in hot
environments.
Generally, about four to fourteen days of daily heat exposure is needed for acclimatization. Heat
acclimatization requires a minimum daily heat exposure of about two hours of work. Gradually
increase the length of work each day until an appropriate schedule adapted to the required activity
level for the work environment is achieved. This will allow the employee to acclimate to conditions of
heat while reducing the risk of heat illness.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 136 of 150
Version: 0
It should be noted that new employees are among those most at risk of suffering the consequences of
inadequate acclimatization and will be closely observed for their first two weeks on the job.
Supervisors with new employees should be extra-vigilant during the acclimatization period and
respond immediately to signs and symptoms of possible heat illness.
these hours and shift patterns altered accordingly. BKGCC shall display clear notices displaying the
schedule of working hours during this period.
Should it be required for workers to remain on site during these hours then a rest area sufficiently
cooled shall be provided. The rest area shall be of sufficient size to enable safe social distancing and
maintain COVID-19 Protocols.
For cases that require work to continue during the restricted hours for technical reasons (Concrete
Pouring/Asphalt Laying), the BKGCC shall seek all authority permissions and provide all facilities that
cater to the health of workers, including first aid, Increased rest periods, air-conditioners, sunshades,
cold water and electrolyte drinks. It is highly recommended the project/construction manager along with
engineers shall plan heavy or critical outdoor construction works are scheduled for either in the
morning or late in the evening.
7.4 Work Rest Intervals
The supervisor responsible for the work is required to ensure access to shade for employees who
believe they need a cool-down rest period from the effects of heat and for any who exhibit indications of
heat illness.
On hot days or hot works, more frequent breaks should be planned if heavy work is involved.
Rest breaks should be taken in a cool location and cool fluids consumed. Avoid hot beverages and
those that contain caffeine such as tea, coffee, and sodas.
As a minimum, satellite rest areas /shielding to prevent direct sun light shall be installed at work area with
portable drinking water/mist fans. Food may only be consumed in the designated dining facilities and
storage of food will be within the air-conditioned rest area.
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 137 of 150
Version: 0
7.5 Employee Rotation
Workers carrying out work in high heat and humid conditions should be used to allow frequent rotation out
of the hot area and cooling off. Tasks such as concreting work, shutter assembly or work at height must
be rotated frequently (each 10-15 minutes).
When working on high temperature jobs, consideration should be given to working in pairs with each
person watching out for early warning signs of excessive heat stress in the other person. This process
shall be managed by the respective area engineers in discussion with work supervisors.
7.6 Fluid Replacement
One of the most important means of reducing the risk of heat stress is drinking plenty of fluids (electrolyte
replacement drinks). When doing hard work in hot areas dehydration may occur due to heavy sweating
before a person even feels thirsty. It is recommended that at least one-half liter of fluids be consumed
every 20 minutes to prevent dehydration and reduce the risk of illness. Refer to self-urine assessment
chart.
Cool water should be readily available during warm weather or in hot work areas.
Drinking Water Stations shall be provided. Cool water will be filled in chilled water thermos and distributed
to the entire site with the help of mechanical means and designated personnel. The team will go around
the site and distribute the chilled water thermos supplied to the work groups at regular intervals daily.
Electrolyte powder sachets are available and will be distributed to site supervisor and the individual
supervisors will distribute it to their employees.
Drinking water and water dispensers shall meet the following requirements:
All sources of drinking water shall be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition
Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 138 of 150
Version: 0
Drinking water must always be kept cool.
Any portable container used to store or dispense drinking water shall be clearly labelled with
respect to time of its filling and shall not be used for any other purpose
Use of colour coded flagging system in accordance with the Heat Stress Index will be practiced across
the work area. Besides the flagging system, daily temperature monitoring will be carried out and
recorded by the HSE Manager who in turn will communicate to the respective HSE / Area engineers.
The HSE Lead shall act as temperature/humidity monitoring agent. Records will be kept in the
monitoring register. These devices shall be installed within first aid clinic station
at…………………………… TO BE FILLED
When relative humidity and temperature rises to a red flag level the HSE Manager will advise the project
Director / Project Manager and the site conditions will be assessed. An SMS will be sent to all HSE
staff/work supervisors and managers which will advise on the decision of the project Director / Project
Manager.
The tables below will be used as guidance and discussed with the Project Director / Project Manager.
