C15.0 Arrangement for First aid and Health Screenings

First Aid / Medical Emergency

BKGCC will ensure that first aid, including trained personnel, is always available. Qualified medical
staff, as per the table below will be provided and possess the necessary experience, training, and
licences.

A site first aid centre will be established, on the construction site. It will be suitably equipped to allow
the site nurse (where provided) to administer the necessary first aid. It will function purely as a first
aid centre and not as a medical clinic.

The Project Lead will call an ambulance (if necessary) if a serious injury or illness occurs and to be
responsible for maintaining first aid equipment in the absence of trained first aiders.

A full time, fully qualified, local authority registered site nurse will be provided. First aiders will be
suitably trained and hold a current first aid certificate issued by an organization whose training and
qualifications are approved, usually, by the governing municipality or local government. A First Aid
Box proportional to staffing levels will be in the BKGCC Site Offices.

Fire wardens will be nominated by the project management team and maintain a valid certificate of
training. The training shall be conducted by an authorized agency by the Civil Defence or by the Civil
Defence department personnel. Refresher training will be conducted as required by certification
body. At least 10 % of the Employees and Supervisory personnel at site shall be trained on basic fire
awareness, types, use and operation of fire extinguishers in emergency.

C17.0 Identifying, Tracking & Closing out non-conformance

BKGCC will ensure that all received Non-conformance and observations are dealt with procedure of
non-conformance and complaints, once written complaints received, it will be communicated to relevant
stakeholders for further actions which will follow below steps:
Identification – (clearly define the problem): EHS manager: Description non- conformances to relevant
stakeholders

Investigation and Analysis – Project manager/EHS manager (plan to research the problem and
perform through assessment)
The investigation procedure is used to conduct the investigation into the cause of the problem.
Every possible cause is identified, and appropriate data collected. The results of the data collection are
documented and organized.
Everything related to the problem must be identified, but the primary goal must be to find the root cause.

Correction: Action Plan – (create a list of required tasks): Project team


Using the results from the analysis, the best method(s) for correcting the situation is determined. The
plan includes changes that must be made and assigns responsibility for the tasks.

Corrective Action: Implementation – (execute the action plan): Project team

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.

Design, Support and Stability


Excavation design is driven by the size and shape of the ground formation needed for the works.
However, in terms of ensuring excavation safety there is several significant issues that need to be
considered:
Excavations up to 1.5m deep do not require a design; however, the requirements of this
standard must be met during planning and excavation works.
Excavations more than 1.5m in depth, and any excavation work adjacent to existing structures,
infrastructure, water courses and live services / utilities, shall require a design by the competent
engineer who shall hold a valid civil engineering qualification. Note that the ‘design’ shall be
appropriate to the depth of the excavation and ground conditions. A detailed design with
calculations may not be required if a sketch or brief instruction will suffice. This shall be based
on the judgment of the competent person.
The design shall specify the exact requirements for ensuring stability of the excavation such as
benching and / or shoring. All Excavations between shall require daily inspection by the
Contractor’s competent engineer. Records of inspections will be maintained for review by the
competent engineer
Soil varies in its nature. Some soil, like sand flows easily. Other soils, like stiff clay, are more
cohesive.

No soil, whatever its structure, can be relied upon to be self-supporting.

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
Version: 0
 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.

Protection against fall

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.

General Requirement for Inspection of Excavations

Excavations must be inspected:


a. Before any person carries out any work within them.
b. At the start of each shift by a competent person.
c. After any event likely to have affected the strength and stability of the excavation or any
part of it.
d. After any accidental fall of rock, earth, or other material.
e. A report must be prepared by the competent person carrying out the inspection.
f. Every 7 days whilst the excavation is open.

Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 54 of 150
Version: 0
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.

Guardrails, fences, or barricades should be installed around excavations adjacent to walkways,


roads, paths, or other traffic areas. Use of barricade tape alone is not considered a sufficient method
of isolation when the excavation is unattended. Warning lights or other illumination shall be used as
necessary for the safety of the public at night.

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,
timber stairs, boarded ramps, access bridges. Ladder should only be considered as a last resort.
All excavations and trenches are to have a minimum of 2 access points.

Suitable safe means of access/egress must be provided and maintained for those persons working
within excavations. All projects must consider:

Safe means of getting into and climbing out of an excavation must be provided.
Ladders used for short-term and temporary access must be securely fixed and properly maintained
and should permit quick and easy escape in case of flooding or falls of materials.

Using the whaling and struts for access and egress purposes must be prohibited.

Where the excavation is deep, battered, and access is required for a longer period, stepped access
may be created using sandbags, however a suitable handrail must be provided to complement the
access steps.

Consideration must be given to means of egress in case of emergency.

Access ways crossing excavations must be properly constructed and comply with the width criteria
appropriate to the work activities.

Workers will not be allowed to climb up and down the soldier sets used in trench shoring, because
they can loosen or damage the support system, triggering a trench collapse. Industrial-grade

portable ladders are used to gain access to the excavation floor. (Refer WP HSE Standard 4.2.18
Excavations Procedure)

b. Confined Spaces:

Confined space working will be avoided where possible. If it is necessary to work within a confined
space (i.e. any place including any manhole, water tank, or similar space in which, by virtue of its
enclosed nature, there arises a reasonably foreseeable significant risk), these works must be carried
out under the conditions specified within a job specific confined space entry permit, method
statement and risk assessment. The confined space entry flow chart to be followed for all confined
space work.
The general hazards associated with confined spaces are – Oxygen deficiency or Oxygen
enrichment, Toxic atmosphere, flammable and explosive atmosphere, excessive heat etc.
The project management team will ensure that measures are in place to ensure workers in confined
spaces have adequate ventilation, lighting and operatives are issued with appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment.
The project management team will ensure:
a. A task specific MSRA is prepared for the task
b. All safety equipment supplied inclusive of portable gas detection devices, escape-
breathing apparatus, harnesses, and other escape equipment is certificated, and in
good order
c. All personnel required to enter a confined space are trained, competent, medically fit
and familiar with the procedures
d. A Confined Space Entry Permit System is in place
e. An emergency rescue plan is in place. Horizontal or vertical rescue arrangements will

i. Reinforcement & concreting

BKGCC will ensure that risk and hazards are identified in design stages and shall cover in MSRA

Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 65 of 150
Version: 0
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.

Ear Plug—during demolition and construction.

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.

j. Roofing and cladding

BKGCC shall ensure the following before allowing works to commence:

Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 66 of 150

(ii) Safety harnesses are available where required and employees are trained in their use.
(iii) Employees involved with roofing/Cladding working are briefed specifically on the safe system
of work.
(iv) Rescue arrangement is in place to deal with any employee who may fall and become
suspended by their safety harness.
(v) Areas below where roofing/Cladding works are to be undertaken are barricaded off and
warning signs are clearly displayed.
(vi) Weather conditions are assessed and within the limits for work to start safely. Anemometer
shall be available to measure the wind speed and BKGCC will ensure that roof works are
ceased when the recorded wind speed reaches 38 Km/h (20.5) Knots.
(vii) Fragile roof materials are identified and access to these areas are restricted with the use of
rigid barriers and warning signs.
(viii) No Materials shall be allowed to be stored on roof. Materials for daily use shall be covered
and secured properly to avoid fly away due to wind. (Refer WP HSE 4.1.8 Working at Height
Procedure)

k. Hoisting and lifting appliances & lifting gear (installation, extension, operations, and
eventual removal)

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.

Liaise with the appointed person regarding methods and co-ordination.

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:

 The load, its characteristics and method of lifting;


 The selection of a suitable crane appropriate to the operation, ensuring that adequate
clearances are maintained between the load(s) and the crane structure. Special
consideration must be given to travelling with loads;
 The selection of lifting gear, the weight of which must be taken into account when assessing
the load on the crane;
 The positions of the crane and load before, during and after the operation;
 The site of the operations, taking into account proximity hazards, space availability and
suitability of the ground or foundations.
 Any necessary erection and dismantling of the crane;
 The environmental conditions that exist or may occur at the site of operation, which may
necessitate stopping the operation when conditions are unsuitable;
 Any interface with other operations on site that may present a hazard and means of
controlling these issues;
 The proximity of the crane and load to the public.

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:

 Pallets of bricks or blocks;


 Bundles of rebar;
 Scaffold tubes.

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 lifting equipment must have a current test/ examination certificate.
 Webbing slings should be regularly inspected, and any damaged or frayed sling should be
discarded and replaced.
 A competent person shall check the adequacy of the hard standing and packers under the
outriggers of mobile cranes.

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.

• Tornadoes g e n e r a l l y occur near the trailing edge of thunderstorm. It i s not uncommon to


see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado.

If in an Office complex

• Go to an inside hallway at the lowest level.

• 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 possible, get inside a building.

• 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.

• Be aware of the potential for flooding.

• Use arms to protect head and neck.

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.

f) grounded from their booms to the ground.

High Winds and/or Rain


a) When high wind creates a hazard to craftsmen or work being performed, i.e., instability in
elevated areas, limited visibility due to dust or particles in the air, unmanageable
materials, etc., supervision will stop work activities, re-assign work and area, properly
store and secure material which might blow away, injure, or damage, lower/tie down crane
booms and obtain further instruction from Site Management.
b) When rain creates a hazard to craftsmen on work being performed, i.e., un-stable footing
conditions due to slippery structural steel, muddy and flooded work environments,
unstable trenches or excavations, poor visibility due to rain or eye protection, supervision
will stop specific work due to hazard, re-assign work duties and/or areas, and obtain
further instructions from Project Management.

Tornadoes
When a Tornado warning has been issued by the Weather Bureau, and Site HSE Manager/
Safety Personnel has made the decision to curtail or shut down project construction
operations, each department is responsible to complete certain assignments before leaving
the project construction site, such as:

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

Board up all window glass.

c) set brakes and check all mobile equipment.

d) Crane booms lowered down and secured.

e) de-energize all unnecessary electrical power.


f) Contact the Project personnel on removal of hazardous wastes on project
site.
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.

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.

Post Tornado Clean Up and Project Construction Start-up


Although the Tornado has passed, hazards may still exist because of unstable structures or
other hazardous conditions. Therefore, and property damage/loss assessment inspection shall be
conducted on the project by supervision and reported to the Site HSE Manager for planned clean-
up prior to start-up or normal construction activities.

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.

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.

3.4 Inspecting Utilities


1) Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window
and quickly leave the building. If accessible, turn off the gas at the outside main valve and
call the gas company from another location. If you turn off the gas for any reason, a
professional must turn it back on.

Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 99 of 150
Version: 0
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.

In case of oil spill or leak:

• 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.

It is the responsibility of the Site Engineer to:

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.

2. Ensure all staff understands the emergency communication procedures.


3. Ensure that the appropriate staffs are trained in emergency procedures such as use of
chemical spill kits.

• 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.

4.2 COSHH Materials Storage & Handling


Various types of flammable materials are used on site including diesel, petrol and LPG. These
materials present a serious fire risk and it is essential that utmost care is exercised for
their storage and handling and as follows:

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.

c. Flammable materials must never be exposed to sources of ignition.


d. Storage area must be easily accessible by fire fighters.
e. Surroundings of the storage area must be clear of any combustible materials and debris.
f. FLAMMABLE
Warning signs including FLAMMABLE NO NO
and SMOKING
SMOKING signs must be
displayed clearly on the store area.

g. Suitable firefighting equipment must be present in the vicinity.

h. Spill kit must be available at COSHH Storage are.

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.

Ground Protection and Bunding Specification

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.

4.3 Smoking
Smoking is prohibited within office buildings, Canteen and other welfare areas, the construction
areas, storage & lay-down areas, near flammable materials and wherever a sign
is displayed

Smoking is allowed only in the designed areas identified as Smoking Area by sign boards.
Cigarette butts and match sticks are to be disposed off safely in ash trays provided at the area.

4.4 Hot Works


A Permit to Work (PTW) system is enforced at the site for all hot works whereby any activity
involving or likely to produce high temperature, sparks or fire (i.e. welding, grinding etc.) to be
commenced only after authorised by the safety department and after all precautions are put in
place prior to starting the works.

The permit can be obtained from the Safety department and can be valid for up to seven days
provided that the same control measures as laid down in the permit are applied.

4.5 Housekeeping
Housekeeping and rubbish removal must be carried out regularly in order to eliminate or
minimise the risk of fire.

Accumulation of combustible waste must not be allowed as this can easily be ignited by sparks
or carelessly discarded cigarettes.

It is the responsibility of the Foreman of the work area to maintain his area in a neat and tidy
manner. He is to ensure that the construction waste generated is stored at a designated area and
disposed off as per the existing waste disposal policy.

Each individual area of work should have a designated waste collection area. There should be a
Fire extinguisher of appropriate type placed in the vicinity of the area.
Additional precautions to be taken while handling and storing flammable waste materials like
diesel or grease soaked maintenance wastes.

In order to minimise any spread of the COVID – 19, Employees must ensure they take quick action
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.

5.1 Employee Responsibility


Employees that are not feeling well, and displaying symptoms such as high fever, cough,
shortness of breath or loss of taste, shall not report to work.
They are to follow the below steps:
1. Inform the Line Manager that you will not be attending work and the reasons why so.
2. Visit your nearest Medical Clinic / Hospital to seek medical attention.
3. Once you have visited the Medical Clinic / Hospital advise your Line Manager, and HR
Department
4. Return to Work, once you are fit to do so, and notify HR Department

5.2 Line Manager Responsibility


When an employee advises you that he/she is not coming into work, due to symptoms related
to COVID – 19, the following steps are to be followed:
1. Inform the HR Department
2. Remain in contact with employee, and check on them once they have visited the
Medical Clinic / Hospital,
3. Update is to be provided to HR Department, once the Employee confirms the
outcome of their visit
4. Update is to be provided to HR Department, once the Employee returns to work

5.3 Employees Residing in Company Accommodation (Camps)


Any person/s residing within our Accommodation who is identified as displaying COVID -19
symptoms by Doctor, or other external Medical Professional, will be placed in Isolation until the
appropriate medical clearance has been provided.

6. CLOSE CONTACTS, CONFIRMED CASE & COVID – 19 TESTING


The Government definition of a Close Contact is “A person who is exposed to a confirmed COVID-19
case, in a close proximity of 2 (Two) metre or less, for a period of not less than 15 minutes” OR “A
person who is in direct physical contact with a positive case (e.g. handshake) two days before the

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.

6.1 COVID-19 Testing


Employees who undertake a COVID-19 Test are to complete “COVID-19 Test Pro-Forma” ( BKGCC -
WI PE 056; BKGCC - WI PE 057) and send to jackson.swaras@bkgulf.com, and also submit a copy
(picture) of their test results when received.
Employees who test Positive, are to immediately notify their Line Manager and Senior HR Advisor.
They are to follow the advice of the relevant Health Authorities, in the Emirates they are residing in.
Employees can only return to work, once approved by the Health Authorities. The standard regulation
is to isolate for 10 days from the covid positive result date.

5. Heat Stress Disorders, Signs and Symptoms


Signs & Symptoms of Heat Stress
High temperatures combined with humidity leads to excessive sweating to cool the body. This can
lead to rapid dehydration caused by excessive loss of body fluid and important electrolytes. This can
cause various heat related illnesses and can lead to heat exhaustion and eventually heat stroke if un-
controlled.

Date: 25th July 2022 Environmental, Health and Safety Plan Page 133 of 150
Version: 0
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.

6. Factors Affecting Heat Stress


6.1 Environmental Factors
Environmental factors such as ambient air temperature, air movement and relative humidity can
affect an individual’s response to heat
6.2 Job Factors

 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.

6.3 Personal Risk Factors


It is difficult to predict who will be affected by heat stress as individual susceptibility varies. It is
recognized however that certain physical conditions can reduce the body’s natural ability to
withstand high temperature such as.

Age: The older a person is, the more susceptible he or she is to heat stress

7 Heat Stress Management & Prevention


7.1 Training
BKGCC shall provide adequate training to all workers who may be exposed to conditions that could
trigger heat related disorders. Internal safety stand downs, TBT sessions and daily briefings will cover
the below as a minimum.
• How Heat stress can develop
• How to prevent Heat Stress
• How to recognize the symptoms of heat stress
• What personal and job factors increase the risk of developing heat stress
• What to do in an emergency

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.

suggested acclimatization guidelines

1 50% 20%
2 60% 40%
3 80% 60%
4 100% 80%
5 100% 100%

7.3 Work Scheduling


BKGCC recognizes that the high likelihood of Heat Stress conditions in the KSA are probable outside
of the ministerial decree for summer working hours. BKGCC will monitor the conditions and schedule
work accordingly. No work shall be scheduled to take place outside, in direct sunlight from 12:30Hrs to
15:00Hrs starting from the 15th of June until The 15th of September. Work shall be scheduled to avoid

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

7.7 Flagging System

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.

7.8 Temperature and Humidity Monitoring Arrangement.

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.
