Additionally, as per Saudi arabia environmental management law,

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE3 10 OF 118
Saudi Arabia has published a new Waste Management Law on September 15th 2021. This law aims to
regulate the transport, segregation, storage, import, export, safe disposal of waste and all other
activities related to it. This law replaces Municipal Solid Waste Management Law enacted by the Royal
Decree no. M/48 of 2013. All concerned parties must recycle, retrieve resources, and ensure safe
disposal in order to achieve better environmental and economical results.
According to article 11 of this law waste producers must conserve natural resources and materials,
reuse products, reduce waste, store it in the designated areas, and separate it for the purpose of reuse or
recycle. Article 14 holds the manufacturers/importers an extended responsibility for their products to
ensure financial sustainability in the waste management sector and therefore enforce the concept of
circular economy. The rules and procedures concerned will be determined in the executive regulation
for this law. Article 16 to 18 prescribe the different responsibilities of waste related service providers.
For example, disposal service providers must adhere to the disposal methods set by the national waste
management center (NWMC). As for hazardous waste transporters, they must use means of transportation
that conform with NWMC standards, place warning labels and ensure the existence of documentation
about the transported hazardous waste.
This law also regulates the import and export of waste as well as dealing with emergency situations. Article
19 prohibits the import of hazardous waste without a permit. It also prohibits the import of recycled waste
in addition to recycled used products, devices and equipment.
This law will take affect November 14th 2021.

from PM/CM’s or Consultants where applicable & available (Ref ROSHN HSSE Manual page 19).

1..6 Steps involved in investigating an accident

The accident investigation process involves the following steps:

Report the accident occurrence to a designated person within the organization.


Provide first aid and medical care to injured person(s) and prevent further injuries or
damage.
Investigate the accident.
Identify the Immediate, Intermediate and Root cause.
Report the findings.
Develop a plan for corrective
action. Implement the plan.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective
action. Make changes for continuous
improvement.

As little time as possible should be lost between the moment of an accident or near miss and the beginning
of the investigation. In this way, one is most likely to be able to observe the conditions as they were at
the time, prevent disturbance of evidence, and identify witnesses. The tools that members of the
investigating team may need (pencil, paper, camera, film, camera flash, tape measure, etc.) should be
immediately available so that no time is wasted.

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE4 7 OF 118
1..7 When looking at as the cause of an accident

Accident causations models

Many models of accident causation have been proposed, ranging from Heinrich's domino theory to the
sophisticated Management Oversight and Risk Tree (MORT).
The simple model shown in Figure attempts to illustrate that the causes of any accident can be grouped
into five categories - task, material, environment, personnel, and management. When this model is
used, possible causes in each category should be investigated. Each category is examined more closely
below.

1..8 Task

Here the actual work procedure being used at the time of the accident is explored. Members of the accident
investigation team will look for answers to questions such as:

Was a safe work procedure used?


Had conditions changed to make the normal procedure unsafe?
Were the appropriate tools and materials available?
Were they used?
Were safety devices working
properly? Was lockout used when
necessary?
For most of these questions, an important follow-up question is "If not, why not?"

1..9 Material

To seek out possible causes resulting from the equipment and materials used, investigators
might ask:
Was there an equipment
failure? What caused it to fail?
Was the machinery poorly designed?
Were hazardous substances
involved? Were they clearly
identified?
Was a less hazardous alternative substance possible and available?
Was the raw material substandard in some way?
Should personal protective equipment (PPE) have been used?

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE4 8 OF 118
Was the PPE used?
Were users of PPE properly trained?

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE4 9 OF 118
Again, each time the answer reveals an unsafe condition, the investigator must ask why this situation could
exist.

1..10 Environment

The physical environment, and especially sudden changes to that environment, are factors that need to
be identified. The situation at the time of the accident is what is important, not what the "usual"
conditions were. For example, accident investigators may want to know:

What were the weather


conditions? Was poor
housekeeping a problem? Was it
too hot or too cold?
Was noise a problem?
Was there adequate light?
Were toxic or hazardous gases, dusts, or fumes present?

1..11 Personnel

The physical and mental condition of those individuals directly involved in the event must be explored. The
purpose for investigating the accident is not to establish blame against someone but the inquiry will not
be complete unless personal characteristics are considered. Some factors will remain essentially
constant while others may vary from day to day:

Were workers experienced in the work being


done? Had they been adequately trained?
Can they physically do the work?
What was the status of their
health? Were they tired?
Were they under stress (work or personal)?

1..12 Management

Management holds the legal responsibility for the safety of the workplace and therefore the role of
supervisors and higher management and the role or presence of management systems must always be
considered in an accident investigation. Failures of management systems are often found to be direct or
indirect factors in accidents.

Ask questions such as:


Were safety rules communicated to and understood by all
employees? Were written procedures and orientation available?
Were they being enforced?
Was there adequate supervision?
Were workers trained to do the work?
DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01
PAGE4 10 OF 118
Had hazards been previously identified?
Had procedures been developed to overcome
them? Were unsafe conditions corrected?
Was regular maintenance of equipment carried
out? Were regular safety inspections carried out?

1..13 Physical Evidence

Before attempting to gather information, examine the site for a quick overview, take steps to preserve
evidence, and identify all witnesses. In some jurisdictions, an accident site must not be disturbed
without prior approval from appropriate government officials such as the coroner, inspector, or police.
Physical evidence is probably the most non-controversial information available. It is also subject to rapid
change or obliteration; therefore, it should be the first to be recorded. Based on your knowledge of the work
process, you may want to check items such as:

Positions of injured
workers Equipment being
used.
Materials or chemicals being
used. Safety devices in use
Position of appropriate guards
Position of controls of
machinery Damage to
equipment
Housekeeping of
area Weather
conditions Lighting
levels
Noise
levels Time
of day
You may want to take photographs before anything is moved, both general area and specific items.
Later careful study of these may reveal conditions or observations missed previously. Sketches of the
accident scene based on measurements taken may also help in subsequent analysis and will clarify any
written reports. Broken equipment, debris, and samples of materials involved may be removed for
further analysis by appropriate experts. Even if photographs are taken, written notes about the location
of these items at the accident scene should be prepared.

1..14 Eyewitness accounts

Although there may be occasions when you are unable to do so, every effort should be made to
interview witnesses. In some situations, witnesses may be your primary source of information because
you may be called upon to investigate an accident without being able to examine the scene immediately

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01 PAGE50 OF 118


after the event. Because witnesses may be under severe emotional stress or afraid to be completely
open for fear of recrimination, interviewing witnesses is probably the hardest task facing an
investigator.
Witnesses should be kept apart and interviewed as soon as possible after the accident. If witnesses have
an opportunity to discuss the event among themselves, individual perceptions may be lost in the normal
process of accepting a consensus view where doubt exists about the facts.

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01 PAGE50 OF 118


Witnesses should be interviewed alone, rather than in a group. You may decide to interview a witness at
the scene of the accident where it is easier to establish the positions of each person involved and to obtain
a description of the events. On the other hand, it may be preferable to carry out interviews in a quiet office
where there will be fewer distractions. The decision may depend in part on the nature of the accident
and the mental state of the witnesses.

1..15 Interviewing

Interviewing is an art that cannot be given justice in a brief document such as this, but a few do's and don'ts
can be mentioned. The purpose of the interview is to establish an understanding with the witness and
to obtain his or her own words describing the event:

DO…
Put the witness, who is probably upset, at ease.
Emphasize the real reason for the investigation, to determine what happened and
why? Let the witness talk, listen.
Confirm that you have the statement correct.
Try to sense any underlying feelings of the witness.
Make short notes or ask someone else on the team to take them during the
interview. Ask if it is okay to record the interview if you are doing so.
Close on a positive note.
DO NOT…

Intimidate the witness.


Interrupt
Prompt
Ask leading questions.
Show your own
emotions. Jump to
conclusions.
Ask open-ended questions that cannot be answered by simply "yes" or "no". The actual questions you
ask the witness will naturally vary with each accident, but there are some general questions that should
be asked each time:

Where were you at the time of the


accident? What were you doing at the
time?
What did you see, hear?
What were the environmental conditions (weather, light, noise, etc.) at the
time? What was (were) the injured worker(s) doing at the time?
In your opinion, what caused the accident?
DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01
PAGE5 1 OF 118
How might similar accidents be prevented in the future?

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE5 2 OF 118
If you were not at the scene at the time, asking questions is a straightforward approach to
establishing what happened. Obviously, care must be taken to assess the credibility of any
statements made in the interviews. Answers to a first few questions will generally show how
well the witness could observe what happened.
Another technique sometimes used to determine the sequence of events is to re-enact or replay
them as they happened. Obviously, great care must be taken so that further injury or damage does
not occur. A witness (usually the injured worker) is asked to re-enact in slow motion the actions
that preceded the accident.

1..16 Background information

A third, and often an overlooked source of information, can be found in documents such as technical
data sheets, health and safety committee minutes, inspection reports, company policies, maintenance
reports, past accident reports, formalized safe-work procedures, and training reports. Any pertinent
information should be studied to see what might have happened, and what changes might be recommended
to prevent recurrence of similar accidents.

1..17 Knowing the factors when making the analysis and conclusions

At this stage of the investigation most of the facts about what happened and how it happened should
be known. This has taken considerable effort to accomplish but it represents only the first half of the
objective. Now comes the key question--why did it happen? To prevent recurrences of similar accidents,
the investigators must find all possible answers to this question.
You have kept an open mind to all possibilities and looked for all pertinent facts. There may still be gaps
in your understanding of the sequence of events that resulted in the accident. You may need to reinter
view some witnesses to fill these gaps in your knowledge.
When your analysis is complete, write down a step-by-step account of what happened (your
conclusions) working back from the moment of the accident, listing all possible causes at each step. This
is not extra work: it is a draft for part of the final report. Each conclusion should be checked to see if:

It is supported by evidence.
The evidence is direct (physical or documentary) or based on eyewitness accounts,
or The evidence is based on assumption.
This list serves as a final check on discrepancies that should be explained or eliminated.

1..18 Making recommendations

The most important final step is to come up with a set of well-considered recommendations designed to
prevent recurrences of similar accidents. Once you are knowledgeable about the work processes
involved and the overall situation in your organization, it should not be too difficult to come up with
realistic recommendations. Recommendations should:

Be specific.
Be constructive.
Get at root causes.
Identify contributing factors.
Resist the temptation to make only general recommendations to save time and effort.

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE5 3 OF 118
For example, you have determined that a blind corner contributed to an accident. Rather than just
recommending "eliminate blind corners" it would be better to suggest:
Install mirrors at the northwest corner of building X (specific to this accident)

Install mirrors at blind corners where required throughout the worksite (general)
Never make recommendations about disciplining a person or persons who may have been at fault.
This would not only be counter to the real purpose of the investigation, but it would jeopardize the chances
for a free flow of information in future accident investigations.

In the unlikely event that you have not been able to determine the causes of an accident with any
certainty, you probably still have uncovered safety weaknesses in the operation. It is appropriate that
recommendations be made to correct these deficiencies.

1..19 Closeout

After the final Report, the incident accident investigation shall be closed:
Close out report shall be prepared and submitted to ROSHN showing action taken as
recommended in the investigation report.
Lesson learned shall be share with DAR/ROSHN to share throughout project.
OHSE documents, plans, JHA shall be updated if any shortcomings are found in incident
investigation report.
1..20 Injury and damage reporting

DAR ENGINEERING shall ensure that an immediate oral report and preliminary written report is made to
the Company Representative in the cases of all:

Fatal injuries or illnesses.

time. Damage over SR10,000 to Contractor’s plant or
equipment Damage in any amount to equipment or

35. Stop Work Procedure


1..1 Authority

Prior to calling a stop work, contractors’ employees and subcontractors must attempt to
remove, mitigate or isolate the hazard in conjunction with the controlling site supervisor.
If the contractors’ employees and subcontractors are not satisfied with the mitigation measure,
then they have the authority to stop work. The contractor’s employee must notify their safety
officers / safety managers of the stop work event immediately.

1..2 Work Suspension

Establish the requirements for contractors’ personnel to stop work if they believe a danger
exists to any persons, property or the environment that cannot be removed, isolated or
mitigated to as low as reasonably practicable.
This procedure shall apply to all contractors-controlled operations in bus project and all work
activities carried out by contractors employees, contractors and subcontractors.
1..3 Corrective Action

Work associated with the affected area or operation will not resume unless all corrective actions
identified in the applicable incident report have been completed and closed.
All personnel affected by the Stop Work will be briefed on the corrective actions and
preventative measures taken.

36. Management of change


In construction, the term 'change management' can sometimes be used to refer to change control
processes where changes to a task or method statement – which may have impacts on safety, time,
cost, or quality – are assessed and approved.

Project changes and/or adjustments are inevitable as they are a fact-of-life at all stages of a project's life
cycle. Managing changes effectively is crucial to the success of a construction project. Change Management
in construction requires a solution to DAR Engineering discipline and coordinate the process, for
example, assessment of risk, documentation, drawing, information briefing & monitoring.

Contractors will manage the process for a work activity that had not previously been supported by a
method statement, this will include the following activities:

38. Personal Protective Equipment


1..1 Introduction

Contractor to ensure to create a safe and healthy work environment for all its employees. Workplace
present special hazards to the individuals those working there, necessitating the application of engineering
controls, administrative controls, and the use of personal protective equipment to protect against
workplace hazards. The use of personal protective equipment is an integral part of minimizing hazards
but should only be considered after all other controls have been exercised. The Subcontractor shall
provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for Subcontractor’s personnel such as safety belt, eye
protection, respiratory equipment, and hard hats. Subcontractor shall train their employees to wear
appropriate personal protection equipment that is maintained in good condition. Subcontractor's
employees shall not commence work until proper protective equipment is always worn while on-site. All
employee staff and visitors shall always wear the appropriate specific PPE when they are on the work

PAGE8 11 OF 118
1..2 Purpose

The purpose of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program is to protect employees from risk of injury
or death by creating a barrier against workplace hazards. The PPE program addresses eye, face, and
head, foot, and hand protection. Components of our company’s Respiratory Protection Program and the
Hearing Conservation program are also a part of this program.

1..3 Responsibilities

The Safety and Health Manager will be responsible for assessing the hazards and exposures that may
require the use of PPE, determining the type of equipment to be provided, and purchasing the
equipment. Input from managers, supervisors, and employees will be obtained and considered in selecting
appropriate equipment. Managers/supervisors will be responsible for training employees in the use and
proper care of PPE, ensuring that all employees are assigned appropriate PPE, and ensuring that PPE is worn
by employees when and where it is required.

1..4 Mandatory PPE

The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) forms the final line of defense between employee and
hazard and applies to all employees at the work site, including the Contractor, visitors and client or
customer representatives.
Contractors follows a Four-Point PPE Practice: Hard hat, steel toe boots, high visibility jacket and safety
glasses. If any materials are to be handled, then gloves shall be worn as well

1..5 Task Specific PPE

Specific PPE shall also be specified in Method Statements and Risk Assessments such as glove type (i.e.
material, level of protection, etc.). Where possible, hazards will be eliminated or controlled to reduce
the risk associated with a specific task.
These controls include:
Elimination of the
hazard Isolation of the
hazard
Administrative Controls
Contractors will make available all required PPE for its employees. All employees will receive training
in the use, care, maintenance and storage of the PPE issued to them.
All personal protective equipment will be within the requirements of the local HSE legislation, industry best
practices and standards. Where site-specific PPE requirements exist all the employees, Contractors, visitors
and Stakeholders on the Project, will follow those requirements.

1..6 Issue and Maintenance of PPE

41. Heat Stress


The relevant Engineer/Supervisor will ensure that:
Adequate ventilation and air movement is provided in enclosed environments that may become hot;
and appropriate work and rest regimes, relating to the physical fitness, general health, medication
taken, and body weight of each worker exposed to heat, are implemented.
To determine the level of heat-related risks for a worker, assess the following factors:

Environmental conditions (e.g., Air temperature, radiant heat, humidity, air


flow). Physical work (e.g., Strenuous or light).
Work organization (e.g., the duration, exposure to heat, time of day); and Clothing (e.g.,
heavy protective clothing).

1.1. Acclimatization Process for New comers inside Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01 PAGE90 OF 118


It’s no secret that Saudi Arabia is a hot country, the heat can be excruciating and that’s no surprise as
the kingdom is near the equator, almost entirely a desert, and very rarely ever rains. The weather is
totally predictable, in the summer it’s hot and sunny every day and in the winter, it’s warm and sunny
every day.

According to the available literature, workers in hot climate countries, similar to the study cohort, can
heat acclimatize faster than those in other Western countries.

New employees are at the highest risk for heat illness. Acclimatization is crucial to working in hot
conditions

what do you need to carry around with you at all times to ensure your comfort, like water, , an
umbrella, gloves… Whether you can continue with your exercise routine outdoors or if it is simply too
hot to bear. How long can you stay out in the sun without feeling terrible or when are the best times
to go outside.

Allow workers to acclimatise to their environment and identify which workers are
acclimatised/assessed as fit to work in hot conditions.

Managers should have a formal acclimatization plan for employees working in the heat. Starting new
employees at full intensity is not safe.
Adjustments to the acclimatization Contractors schedule may be needed depending on the worksite’s
situation and on individual factors.
A combination of these conditions can cause heat stress or heat stroke and the effects can range from
simple comfort to life-threatening illnesses. Heat stress reduces work capacity and efficiency.
Control measures for preventing heat stress will include:

Providing adequate ventilation.


Reducing items of heat-producing equipment in the closed vicinity.
Monitoring air velocity and wet bulb temperature regularly, determining cooling effect,
Assessing and recording results.
Regulating air flow, or modifying ventilation in enclosed areas, to ensure adequate
cooling. Refrigerating the air supply in extreme conditions.
Providing additional ventilation fans to create air flows in low flow
areas. Rotating people in hot areas.
Providing rest breaks in cool environments.
Providing shaded rest shelters across the site for workers who are exposed to direct
sunlight. Educating people to recognize symptoms of heat stress.
Providing cool drinking water – current industry practice suggests workers drink half a litter
of water each hour when hot environments cause excessive sweating; and
Providing PPE for surface heat exposure (e.g., Shade, hats).
Summer working hours As per Saudi Law, from June 15 to Sep 15 no worker can work under
direct sunlight from 12pm to 3 pm.
Summer work ban starts from 15 June to 15 Sep every year.
All workers exposed to direct sun shall be transport back to camp or adequate rest shelter area
to provide for workers to take rest during summer work ban.

42. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)


The definition of Personal Protective Equipment is very broad and covers all protective equipment such
as helmets, footwear, clothing, overalls, gloves, life jackets and safety harnesses. Ordinary working clothes or
clothing provided which is not specifically designed to protect the health and safety of the wearer is not
within the definition.

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE9 1 OF 118
All PPE is to be maintained, replaced, or cleaned as appropriate & necessary information,
instruction and training shall be given to those required to use it.
All P.P.E and its usage shall conform to the requirements of ‘Personal Protective Equipment’s’.
Which is acceptable to the Contractor.
As a minimum, ALL staff and operatives and visitors to site, are required to wear the
following minimum safety apparel: -
- Safety Helmet
- Safety Shoes with protective toe caps
- Hi-visibility Vest.
- Safety goggle
- Hand Gloves

The Contractor HSE Manager shall ensure that there are always adequate stocks of the
safety apparel on site to accommodate visitors to site.
The PPE’s will be inspected to ensure that it comply with Approved International standards
e.g., ANSI or EU.

43. Noise and Vibration


Vibration: A vibrating motion can be DAR Engineering dilating, reciprocating, or periodic.
Vibration can also be either harmonic or random
Action level: the levels of exposure to noise averaged over a working day or week or maximum
noise to which an employee is exposed in a working day
Decibel (dB) - the unit of measurement for the loudness of a sound
First Action Level: 85 dB (A); Second Action Level: 90 dB (A); Peak Action Level: 140 dB

During construction activity it is not anticipated that any person will be exposed to noise levels
that are in excess of 85 dB (A) on an 8- or 10-hour time weighted average (TWA)
An important factor in preventing HAVS is by reducing the time which employees are actually
exposed to vibration. The daily exposure limit value for whole body vibration is 1.15m/s2 and
the daily exposure action value for whole body vibration is 0.5m/s2. The daily exposure limit
value for hand-arm vibration is 5m/s2 with the daily exposure action value for hand-arm
vibration is 2.5m/s2
Contractor Supervisors are to ensure a vibrating tool is shared between a team of employees,
as opposed to it only being used by one person all day; by rotating such personnel to other
areas of work will considerably lessen the effects of vibration on the actual user, lessening the
chances of ill-health effects by the use of the vibrating tool.
Typical sound levels of construction equipment are as follows; however, information must be
sought from the Manufacturer or Construction Plant Hire Company regarding specific
machines:

 Hand Tools – electric 95


 Hand Tools – air 100
 Forklift Trucks 101
 Hammer Drill 102
 Dumpers 103
 Concrete Mixer 104
 Hand Tools – petrol 105
 Tower Cranes 106

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE9 2 OF 118
 Circular Bench Saws 107
 Medium Trucks 108
 Excavators 109
 Crawler Cranes 110
 Haulage Trucks 111
 Ready-mix Concrete Trucks 112
 Rock Drills 115
 Batching Plant 116
 Generators 117
 Drop Hammer (sheet piles) 118
 Cranes 119
 Compressors, Compactors 120
 Bulldozers, Graders 121
 Vibrating Hammer (sheet piles) 125
 Single acting air hammer (pre-cast) 128
 Double acting air hammer (sheet piles) 138

Acute short-term exposures to impact noise exceeding the threshold may be experienced during
some activities, which shall be managed by the Contractor by reducing employee exposure, and
enforce the wearing of personal protective equipment when working in proximity of the
operations as per Roshn procedure RRE-HC-HC1-A00-NSP-RRE-HSE-PRO-00024 Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) Standard.
It is anticipated that some static equipment situated on lay-down areas may produce a noise
level in excess of 85 dB (A). Supervisor must therefore locate any potential noise sources a
minimum distance of 30m away from offices and other facilities normally occupied. For all
maintenance staff of these equipment, permanent and suitable hearing protection must be
provided.
When areas have been identified that meet the above criteria in above paragraph Contractor
must conduct a noise level survey and risk assessment by a competent person for that area using
a calibrated noise/sound level meter; records to be kept and made available to Employer or its
Representative on request
44. MEPI
To minimize the risk of injury to pedestrians within the site, designated pedestrian footpaths with adequate
lighting will be provided by DAR ENGINEERING. These designated pedestrian footpaths will be identified by
either hard barriers or plastic mesh fencing and appropriate signage will be provided. Pedestrian routes are
to be kept clear of any potential tripping hazard. Where designated pedestrian routes need to cross site
haul roads, a designated pedestrian crossing with appropriate signage will be provided.
The principal pedestrian routes on site will be indicated on a drawing showing haul roads and pedestrian
routes within the TMP. These routes will be subject to change to suit the progress of works on site.
Where significant changes are made, the haul road/pedestrian routes drawing will be updated and
reissued.

45. Scaffolding.
A temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance, and repair
of structures
For all external working at height where the risk assessment shows that Scaffolding is to be constructed;
only "Open Tube & Clamp" or "System" Scaffold is acceptable.

Mixing of different systems or types of Scaffolding shall not be employed on site.

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE9 3 OF 118
For all external working at height where it is calculated that there will be more than 1 Lift Height, only
"Open Tube & Clamp" or "System" Scaffold is acceptable.

For Contractors, all planning for Scaffolding shall include risk assessments and safe sequence of work
which are to be included in the Construction Phase OH&S Plan.

All Scaffolds over 10m long, over 8m in height, hung, cantilever or suspended Scaffolds must be
designed by a qualified, professional structural engineer. All calculations and the design drawing(s) must
be included in an Appendix of the Construction Phase OH&S Plan, that can be extracted and used as a
Scaffolding Plan. Once erected, designed Scaffolds must be approved and signed off by the structural
engineer as being built to the design.

Protection of persons against falling materials should be provided by the use of nets, brick guards, toe-
boards, fans and by the use of barricades at ground level where practicable. All fans must be designed
by a qualified, professional structural engineer. All calculations and the design drawing must be
included in the Construction Phase OH&S Plan.

Special attention must be given to loading and unloading of materials and the removal of waste debris
from the Scaffold. All loading bays intended to be incorporated into large Scaffold structures must be
designed by a structural engineer, and the design and calculations made available to Employer or its
Representative for approval prior to erection. Waste chutes are considered best practice for large waste
removal at height.

The distance apart of transoms must not result in a bay length of greater than

Very light duty (0.75Kn/m2) – inspection, cleaning, painting 2.7m

Light duty (1.5Kn/m2) – plastering, painting, glazing and pointing 2.4m

General purpose Scaffold (2.0Kn/m2) – general construction work, rendering, plastering 2.1m

Heavy duty Scaffold (2.5Kn/m2) – block work, brickwork, heavy cladding 2.0m

All working platforms must comply with ROSHN HSSE Procedure : RRE-HC-HC1-A00-NSP-RRE-HSE- PRO-
00031 Working Platforms Standard
All Scaffolds must be prevented from collapsing or tipping by secure attachment to the bearing surface
or to another structure by the means of the following methods:

Reveal tie
A tube may be wedged or jacked tight into opposing faces of an opening. The reveal tie should be
attached to the reveal tube within 150mm of the end of the opening face.

Through tie
This type of tie relies on a tube, usually placed vertically inside an opening. The tube should
preferably rest as close to one edge of the opening as possible.

Box tie
This forms an assembly of tubes and couplers around columns or other parts of a structure. It must be
at the level of a Scaffold lift and joined to both inside and outside ledgers or uprights.

DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01


PAGE9 4 OF 118
Lip tie
An alternative form of tie takes the form of an "L" shaped arrangement of tubes and couplers, which
hook the Scaffold behind elements of the structure.

Specific to Mobile Tower Scaffold

All mobile towers should be properly constructed as per Manufacturer's instructions by competent
persons.

The mobile tower structure must be of sufficient strength and rigidity for the works. It must be secured
in position, castor wheels locked before anyone accesses the tower, and if the working platform is over
3m in height, the tower must have outriggers added.

Placing steps, ladders or other platforms on the working platform to gain additional height is dangerous
and therefore prohibited.

Under no circumstances must any attempt be made to climb up the outside frames of a mobile tower,
and all access must be made by use of a ladder (on the internal of the structure) or purpose-built frame.
No ladder of any description must be leaned against the outside of a mobile tower. To do so would
cause the tower to become unstable and add to the risk of overturning the tower.

No attempt should be made to move tall, fully-erected towers. The tower must be reduced to a safe
height appropriate to the ground conditions. Normally as guidance, the height should not exceed 2 1/2
times the minimum base dimension. Move the tower manually from the base only; not by vehicle or
construction plant. No persons or materials must be on the tower during movement.
Fixed or mobile Scaffolding with work platforms that are 4 meters or greater in height shall
be: Inspected daily.
Erected under the supervision a competent and experienced Scaffolder who holds a current
certificate of competency.
Certified by the Scaffold inspector or a competent person as being safe to use and in compliance
with relevant statutory requirements and standards.
Isolated by danger tags or warning signs if the Scaffold is incomplete or left unattended.
All Scaffolds constructed on Hofuf site shall:

Have ladder access and extend 1m past the


landing. Have handrails and mid-rails.
Have tied or locked
decking. Have toe boards
fitted.
Be designed to carry the anticipated load.
Be tied in or have outriggers fitted when height is twice the base or
more. Not have any modifications or damage to any component.
The Scaffold structure will be inspected daily by a competent person. Erection, alteration and
dismantling of any complex designed Scaffolding (e.g., suspended Scaffolds, shoring, temporary roofs
etc.) should be undertaken through the direct supervision of a competent person; this should be a
qualified “Scaffolder” or a design engineer providing they possess the necessary industry experience or
DOCUMENT CODE: DAR-HSE-PLN-01 REVISION CODE: 01

who has received training under a recognized manufacturer/supplier to the limit of the configuration(s)
involved.

Scaffolding determines with color tag system: (RED, YELLOW.

GREEN) Red Tag


The red tag is attached to inappropriate Scaffolds, which are not allowed for working activities and which
are going through assemblage or disassembling process.
Yellow Tag
It is attached to the places where use to full body harnesses is mandatory.
Green Tag
Is attached to appropriate Scaffolds which are allowed for working activities without Safety harness.

46. Ladders
Ladders shall only be used when other means of safe access are impractical. Usage of ladders shall be
limited to temporary access for short duration tasks when other safer means are not practicable.
Ladders shall be used with the following precautions:

Ladders to be placed on a level and solid footing and secured at the top and if practical at the
bottom.
Ladders to be set up at an angle of 4:1 (Vertical: Horizontal)
Timber or fiberglass ladders to be used for work adjacent to live electrical conductors or power
lines.
All ladders are to be of an industrial grade.
Three points of contact to be always maintained.
If the worker is required to use both hands to safely perform the work, then other methods of
safe access to be given priority.
Wrist lanyards to be used for any small hand tools whilst on a ladder.
If the worker is required to carry heavy / large tools or materials up or down the ladder, then
other methods of safe access to be given priority.
Ladder will be inspected, and color coded on a quarterly basis.

Construction, building and demolition related noise can impact the health and wellbeing of
people and animals (considered to be sensitive receivers) when not managed appropriately.
Vibration may also interfere with DAR scientific equipment or damage buildings and
underground services. Both noise and vibration are considered as a nuisance by general public
and protests about noise and vibration are some of the most common complaints that
environmental protection agencies and municipalities receive. Environmental noise and
vibration are now recognized as a public health issue with possible serious or long-term health
impacts.

Contractor can identify and adopt actions to minimize noise and vibration risks through:
 Planning;
 Site layout;
 Management, selection and maintenance of equipment;
 Noise reduction;
 Conduct of workers onsite.

Contractor shall conduct a noise and vibration impact assessment to predict the characteristics
of noise and vibration generated by the planned works which should identify people and
sensitive environments that could be affected by the Works.
The results of the impact assessment should be used by the Contractor to:

▪ Avoid the generation of noise and vibration;


▪ Assist in choosing alternative equipment or methods that generate
less noise or vibration;
▪ Reduce noise and vibration by using the most appropriate equipment
and work practices for the activities;
▪ Attenuate noise by obstructing the path between noise source and receiver;

minimum limit.
Contractors will provide personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to reduce the
transmission of vibrations to the employees (e.g. anti-vibration gloves, anti-vibration mats, etc.)
where after implementation of engineering and administrative controls the risk still remains
58. Protection of Soil & Groundwater Standard

Groundwater: a body of water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and in the
fractures of geologic formations.
Fresh Surface Water: all fresh waters on the ground and includes water within rivers, streams,
lakes, ponds, wetlands, marshes, wadis and man-made reservoirs.

Plant and vehicle maintenance areas will be located in designated impermeable areas with a
fall to a central gully. Water and oil will be collected and separated in an adjacent oil trap. The
location of these designated areas and oil traps will be presented in the Site layout drawing.

All stationary construction plant & equipment are to have either a secondary containment
system (e.g. bunds around semi-permanent generators), or metal drip trays placed beneath
them during

operation. The drip trays will be regularly emptied to prevent overflow and the hazardous
wastes will be dealt with in accordance with RRE-HC-HC1- A00-NSP-RRE-HSE-PRO-00037 Waste
Management Standard.
Drip trays are to be of sufficient size to contain any breach of primary containment and large
enough to extend beyond the outline of the equipment. When used for storage of oil drums, the
drip tray shall have a capacity of 25% of the drum(s) aggregate total storage capacity.
Mobile equipment and vehicles will be removed from site for major maintenance and servicing
which will take place off site. On the construction Site, refueling, oil changing and light
maintenance will be undertaken using drip trays. This will prevent any release of materials from
accidental spills into the underlying soil and groundwater.
Metal impervious drip trays must be used at the time of fuel delivery to catch any oil that
could be lost during the coupling and decoupling of delivery hose(s).

If equipment’s have extensive dripping, the equipment shall be sent for immediate repair and
maintenance.
All vehicle servicing records and vehicle certificates will be held on site and made available to
Employer or its Representative on request.

The fuel, oil and chemical stores shall have secondary containment, and be stored on
impermeable bases within a bund to contain at least 110 % of the maximum capacity of the
storage facility (or 25% of total storage capacity where more than one container is stored), in
accordance to Kingdom of Saudi Arabian environmental legislation, codes and standards. Bunds
shall be emptied immediately after all rain events. All tank discharge pipes, valves and trigger
guns will be contained securely within the bund. The contents of any tank will be clearly
marked on the tank, and a notice displayed requiring that the valves and trigger guns be locked
when not in use.

Incompatible materials shall be separated (e.g. flammables and oxidizers) and shall be kept in
different containment areas. Used and waste fuel, oil and chemicals shall be clearly identified
and segregated within the containment area.
Adequate spill response kits, medical and fire fighting equipment shall be situated
throughout the area.
Designated areas will be established for vehicle and wheel washing. The wheel wash facility
will have an impermeable surface. Vehicle-washing effluent on the construction sites will be
routed to a suitable storage facility such that the effluent can be sent for treatment or
evaporation if necessary. Highways and roads around the construction sites will be monitored
and roads to be regularly cleared to prevent to build up of excess materials.
Contractor shall undertake regular inspections of all sewage, wastewater tanks, refueling,
vehicle/equipment servicing, engineering workshops and chemical storage areas to ensure that
serviceability and containment is adequate.

All staff handling hazardous materials shall be trained in spill response, containment, material
handling and storage procedures. Personnel designated for the emergency response team
shall be trained in the response procedures in the event of a spill, including the use of the spill
clean- up kit, and removal of the hazardous waste.
Plastic sheeting shall be placed beneath mobile and static concrete mixers and concrete pump
trucks before start-up and during transfer of concrete to delivery location or other
receptacles.

59. Waste Management Standard

Waste: material, substance or by-product eliminated or discarded as no longer useful or required after
the completion of a process

All waste should be handle as per ROSHN procedure RRE-HC-HC1-A00-NSP-RRE-HSE-PRO-00037 Waste


Management.

Contractors shall introduce practices that minimize waste generation at source, by reducing
waste and introducing segregation of waste following the principles of waste management
hierarchy:
 Reduce;
 Reuse;
 Recycle;
 Recover;
 Treatment;
 Disposal.

During the Works, Contractor is to segregate waste into the following categories:

 Municipal Waste;
 Hazardous Waste;
 Medical Waste;
 Electrical and Electronic E-Waste.

Waste containers shall not be allowed to overflow, and regular collection shall be maintained.
Containers shall be regularly inspected to ensure containers are kept closed during
accumulation, and shall be tightly sealed prior to transportation off-site. There shall be a
sufficient number and size of waste containers proportionate to the Works to contain amount of
waste generated.
All food waste shall be properly stored in containers with close-sealing lids to minimize pest
infestation and odor control.
Containers used for lightweight materials such as cardboard shall have tarpaulins or netting in
order to stop the waste being blown around site during inclement weather.
Waste oils, lubricants, paints etc. shall be stored in tightly closed, leak-proof containers
compatible to the hazardous waste to be stored. Containers will be clearly labelled to accurately
describe their contents and appropriate warning labels to be attached. Wherever possible,
chemicals shall be kept in their original containers.
Hazardous waste will not be placed in containers provided for non-hazardous waste.
Such errors may lead to hazardous waste being handled as non-hazardous, putting the handlers
at risk, or may lead to the waste being improperly disposed.
The area used for reuse and recyclable green waste should ideally be on an impervious concrete
base.
Any drums or containers that held a hazardous substance will be considered hazardous
regardless of the quantity of substance remaining in the drum or container. Any container or
cylinder awaiting disposal or being discarded that contains a hazardous compressed gas with a

PAGE 10 9 OF 118
greater than atmospheric pressure, will be classified as hazardous waste. The contractor should
store used oils in secure bulk containers which are double skinned or have bunds of 110%
capacity.
All areas used for storage of waste shall be a minimum of 30m away from a water source.
Under no circumstances is Contractor to allow any employees, Sub-contractors or Suppliers to
illegally dispose of waste at an unauthorized location (i.e. the side of the road).
No waste shall be burnt on site.
Contractor shall, on the completion of Works, clear away and remove from site all surplus
materials and waste through the approved method and to the correct establishment, and leave
the whole of the site in a clean condition to the satisfaction of Employer or Dar Engineering.

All waste will be collected and segregate and disposal as per ROSHN standard RRE-HC-HC1-A00-NSP-
RRE- HSE-PRO-00037 Waste Management.

Additionally, as per Saudi arabia environmental management law,

Saudi Arabia has published a new Waste Management Law on September 15th 2021. This law aims to
regulate the transport, segregation, storage, import, export, safe disposal of waste and all other
activities related to it. This law replaces Municipal Solid Waste Management Law enacted by the Royal
Decree no. M/48 of 2013. All concerned parties must recycle, retrieve resources, and ensure safe
disposal in order to achieve better environmental and economical results.
According to article 11 of this law waste producers must conserve natural resources and materials,
reuse products, reduce waste, store it in the designated areas, and separate it for the purpose of reuse or
recycle. Article 14 holds the manufacturers/importers an extended responsibility for their products to
ensure financial sustainability in the waste management sector and therefore enforce the concept of
circular economy. The rules and procedures concerned will be determined in the executive regulation
for this law. Article 16 to 18 prescribe the different responsibilities of waste related service providers.
For example, disposal service providers must adhere to the disposal methods set by the national waste
management center (NWMC). As for hazardous waste transporters, they must use means of transportation
that conform with NWMC standards, place warning labels and ensure the existence of documentation
about the transported hazardous waste.
This law also regulates the import and export of waste as well as dealing with emergency situations. Article
19 prohibits the import of hazardous waste without a permit. It also prohibits the import of recycled waste
in addition to recycled used products, devices and equipment.
This law will take affect November 14th
2021. Ref:
