1.0 PURPOSE
To define applicable standards and set minimum requirements for the man- agement of
hazardous substances and dangerous goods.
2.0 SCOPE
This procedure applies to the APLNG Module Yard project.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
MYEMP – Module Yard Environmental Management Plan
Container - Object in which hazardous substances have been stored, en- closed or
packaged whether such container is partially or completely full or empty.
Hazardous Material –. Any material that poses a hazard to humans or the en-
vironment.
Hazardous Material Register – Log of hazardous materials stored and in use on-
site, including type, quantity, location and material safety data sheet (MSDS).
Material Safety Date Sheet (MSDS) – Document that states the substance’s
hazardous constituents, chemical and physical properties, health hazards, per- missible
exposure levels, first-aid procedures, emergency procedures, and the recommended
handling, use and disposal requirements. The manufacturer must provide an MSDS for
all potentially hazardous substances.

5.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1 Site Manager
Responsible for the overall hazard communication program.
Ensuring the procedure is implemented on the project.
5.2 Area Superintendent
Hazardous substances brought on-site for defined scope of work.
Ensuring the number and the amount of hazardous substances stored are
based on need.
Ensuring only approved hazardous substances are brought on-site.
5.3 HSE Manager
Providing information concerning the hazardous substance standard.
Assisting the Site Manager with performing hazardous substance regis- ter
surveys.
5.4 Environmental Coordinator
Reviewing and approving chemicals and MSDS
Approving hazardous substances for purchase.
Maintaining the Hazardous Substance register.
Maintaining Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) for the project.
5.5 Discipline Superintendent
Ensuring that all hazardous substances are properly labelled, stored, and
disposed of in accordance with the MSDS and project procedures.
Conducting training of team members in the safe use of hazardous
substances for routine and non-routine tasks.
5.6 Project Personnel
Handling, storing and using hazardous substances in the proper man- ner at
all times.
Reporting any problems/issues/concerns/incidents/spills regarding haz- ardous
substances.
6.0 REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Ordering
Hazardous substances should not be ordered in excess, nor should bulk containers
be specified where an excess will be left over. Choose the cor- rect size container
that will meet the estimated quantity required.
6.2 Asbestos
No materials containing asbestos are to be brought to the project site.
The request is to be completed by the team member requiring the haz- ardous
substance on-site and forwarded with a copy of the MSDS to the Environmental
Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will evaluate each hazardous
substance prior to being brought on-site. In performing the evaluation, the
Environmental Coordinator will utilize available infor- mation such as project
drawings and documentation, current online and/or hard copy MSDS and other
available references.
Once the evaluation is complete, the request may be approved, approved with
restrictions or rejected.
When a hazardous substance is rejected for use on-site, the reason(s) for the
rejection and an alternative substance will be suggested.

Storage areas for hazardous substances will be reviewed and approved by the
Environmental Coordinator prior to receipt of the substances on the site. Criteria
for the location of suitable storage areas include:
Located away from high traffic areas on-site and protected from poten- tial
impact by vehicles/plant, guardrails, fences, or other structural con- trols.
Contractors shall manage, store, and transport to site location of all haz- ardous
materials generated, handled or disturbed by contractors during its work in
accordance with applicable legislation and all other requirements outlined in the
Module Yard Environmental Management Plan (MYEMP). This includes, but is
not limited to, waste minimization; hazardous materi- als registration; hazardous
materials inventory with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each hazardous
material on-site; employee training; hazardous materials spill management and
reporting; proper storage of hazardous materials; LDGL registration, equipment
decontamination and on-site transport of hazardous materials.
All hazardous substances and dangerous goods locations are strictly no smoking
areas. All potential ignition sources are banned from the areas.
6.7 Labelling
All hazardous substances are to be legibly labelled with the product name,
relevant risk and safety phrases and the name and address of the manufacturer or
supplier. All hazardous substances which are decanted into another container and
not used immediately are to be labelled in the same manner. Labels are not to be
removed or modified for any reason.
Any container of a substance found not having a label is to be tagged with an Out
of Service with the words “UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE – DO NOT USE” and
reported to the Environmental Manger/Coordinator or HSE de- partment.
6.8 Signage
Signs are to be placed in appropriate locations to provide information to those
entering the area or use the substances and for emergency re- sponse.
A site HAZCHEM sign will be displayed and the manifest kept in a weather
proof container at the site entrance for the information of external emergency
services.
Where a risk assessment has identified a need for eye protection to pre- vent eye
injuries from hazardous substances, provision for eye wash sta- tions must be
made.
Handling of corrosive or reducing agents will require eye wash stations and
safety showers be located within close proximity to the work area. The safety
stations will be denoted by the appropriate signage and the eye wash and shower
tested before handling of any substances.
All spills are to be reported and promptly cleaned up. Spills with the po- tential to
cause significant environmental harm or injury shall be immedi- ately reported to
the emergency response team. All efforts should be made to contain the spill or
prevent further leakage.
6.11 Disposal
Land fill disposal of hazardous substances will not be accepted unless
specifically authorized by the Environmental Coordinator. All excess haz-
ardous materials and the containers must be removed from site as each phase of
the project is completed.
All contaminated soil from chemical spills must be reported to the Project
Environmental Department before being removed from site. Documented
Where and how monitoring of the substances shall be performed shall depend on the
location and the nature of the substances. Monitoring may be by per- sonal dosimeter
or area analysis or a combination of both. The qualified per- son performing the
monitoring shall decide, in consultation with the project En- vironmental Coordinator,
upon the monitoring technique to be used.
Record of the dates, exact locations and results taken of the monitoring.
Any worker who has been or could be exposed to a hazardous substance which is
subject to monitoring, shall be provided with the results of the monitoring.
A record of monitoring will be available to project personnel.
Records of monitoring requiring follow up shall be kept for thirty (30) years.
Results not requiring follow up shall be kept for five (5) years.
Health surveillance requirements for specific hazardous substances will be de- pendent
on the health effect and the existence of a valid technique to detect signs of the effect.
8.0 AUDITS
To ensure hazardous substances are stored, labelled, signed, transported and disposed
of in accordance with the procedures and legislative requirements, all workplaces and
vehicles transporting hazardous substances shall be sub- ject to audit. Audits shall be
performed by suitably qualified and trained team members, or suitably qualified
external consultants appointed by the HSE Manager or Environmental Coordinator.
All managers shall be notified of the results of the audit and any remedial action
required.
9.0 RECORDS
The following records are to be retained as long as the project is active:
Copy of procedure
Team members training records
Hazardous substances requests
MSDS’s
Current Hazardous Substance Register
Risk assessments
Additionally, when a new hazard is introduced into the work area. Example of new
hazards are:
Visitors will be provided with the same general topics of information as team
members. Visitors entering areas where hazardous substances are used, will be fully
advised of the potential hazards and given the opportunity to review the MSDS’s.
