HSSE Plan

1. Rainwater drainage solutions for Area A (Package One, Al-Sawari


District and King Saud Lifting Station)

1.1. Purpose

The purpose is as follows: -


• Risk Avoidance: All reasonably practicable steps will be taken to avoid risk to employees and
other parties affected by the company’s operations.
• Safety Management: Al Yamama Company believes that managing safety is a prime
responsibility at all stages and it is good business practice to provide a safe working
environment at the site.
• Health and Safety Requirements: The plan covers all site facilities for the completion of all
works. It identifies requirements for company staff & subcontractors, aiming to ensure that
their work is carried out without risk to themselves or others.
• Monitoring: Health and safety requirements at the project will be managed and monitored by
the Project Manager and the Safety Officers with great efficiency, quality, and productivity.

1.2. Scope

• The scope of work includes activities general levelling, install precast concreate curb stone,
construct reinforced concreate stormwater channel (The channel shall measure 800mm wide
and 750mm high externally, and 400mm wide and 600mm high internally comprising of
200mm thick side walls and a 150mm thick base), Supply and construct manholes of precast /
in-situ concrete, Road Pavement Works, Aggregate Base Course, Interlocking Pavement
Works, Water Supply Works.
• The scope of the H.S.E Plan for the implementation of rainwater drainage solutions in Area A
(Package One, Al-Sawari District and King Saud Lifting Station) seems to align with the
principles of ISO 45001 and ISO 14001.
• For ISO 45001, the plan outlines the commitment to provide a safe working environment and
to take all reasonably practicable steps to avoid risk to employees and other parties affected
by the operations. The plan also identifies requirements for company staff & subcontractors,
aiming to ensure that their work is carried out without risk to themselves or others, which
aligns with the creation of an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policy and the
establishment, implementation, and maintenance of the OHSMS.
• For ISO 14001, the plan involves the implementation of environmental solutions for rainwater
drainage, which could be seen as an effort to actively protect the environment. The plan also
seems to take into account upstream and downstream processes, such as the supply and
construction of manholes of precast/in-situ concrete, road pavement works, aggregate base
course, interlocking pavement works, and water supply works.

1.3. HSSE Requirements

• HSE Notice Board will be provided and located in both office and storage area. This board will
include some HSE details like HSE policy, Emergency plan, Fire wardens, HSE
representatives, HSE topic of the week, HSE updates, etc.
• Statistic Notice Board will be provided and located in the project office, it will include statistical
details, e.g., project man power, total man-hours, no of LTI, safe man-hours, accumulated
safe man-hours (on monthly and annual basis), this notice board will be weekly updated and
accumulation of factors will be counted.
• Fire points will be provided at storage area, they will be appropriately fixed, mounted and
located at suitable places, and each fire point will include tow fire extinguishers and two sand
boxes.

MMR-CAE-EQ0-TP-0000?? Rev.000 Page 5 of 25


HSSE Plan

• Clear access will be maintained to emergency exits and escape routes at all times.

• Clear access will be maintained to firefighting equipment, alarm points, electric panel sand
ladders.
• Clear access will be maintained to first aid facilities.

• Materials, tools and equipment will be properly stored when not in use.

• Electric cords, air hoses and cutting torch hoses will not be placed where they create a
tripping hazard causing injury.
• Liquid spills must be cleaned up immediately. Contaminated soil or sand will be managed as
waste.
• Rubbish will be removed from the work site at the end of each day.

• Suitable skips/bins will be provided for general site debris and emptied as required. The
schedule for removing waste from site will be determined by the amount of waste
accumulated. Replacement for empty skips will be made available upon co- ordination with
Stores In-charge. In any case, waste will not be allowed to accumulate in such quantities that
it may spill from waste containers posing a health or fire hazard.
• Soiled/oily rags will be kept in approved containers separate from clean rags.

• Excess materials, tools and equipment will not be stored at heights. All materials, tools and
equipment used at heights will be properly secured when not in use.
• Housekeeping will be carried out on daily basis at end of the shift/day before leaving the site.

• Members of supervision will conduct routine daily inspections of their areas at the end of each
day to ensure that the rules of good housekeeping are complied with.
• Dumping waste material in unauthorized areas is strictly prohibited.

• Floors, Working sites

• All working sites should be always clear from any construction remains (wood, steel,
plastic…) during the work. All floors and working sites should be dry without oil and /or
chemicals.
Equipment
All AL YAMAMA COMPANY equipment (Generators, electrical equipment and machines) should
be far enough from any construction remains or/ and flammable remains to be prevented
accidents and keep them is a good condition without damage. All the remains from the equipment
(oil change, damaged parts…) should be disposed is a good way outside the working places.
Excavation
All the construction remains, tools and instrument should be 1.5 m far from the edge of excavation
to prevent any falling object inside the excavation during work. The AL YAMAMA COMPANY
competent person should instruct the AL YAMAMA COMPANY or/and sub-contractor employees
about the importance of the housekeeping near the excavation and the hazard of the falling
objects (remains).
Barrication
All AL YAMAMA COMPANY working places should be good sealed to prevent residents and/or
vehicles entering the working places and keep them away from the hazard that comes from the
working activities which can cause injuries or/and properties damage. This will be by surrounding
the working places with concrete barriers of zero space on which banners of zero space are
erected, in addition to night light over the barriers, and safety signs every 12 meters. All AL
YAMAMA COMPANY or/and sub-contractor employees should follow the AL YAMAMA
COMPANY barrication rules.

MMR-CAE-EQ0-TP-0000?? Rev.000 Page 6 of 25


HSSE Plan

Concrete Barriers
The concrete barriers will be placed in a straight line a long / around the excavation/ working
places without spacing (head to tail). AL YAMAMA COMPANY concrete barriers are painted with
white and red colours to be visible for the drivers.
The concrete barriers should be heavy and strong enough to prevent vehicles entering the
working site/ excavation in case of accident or losing the control to safe the employees working
inside the working place and the drivers from falling inside the excavation.
Reflecting Safety Net
An orange safety reflecting net should be placing over our concrete barriers to be more visible
during day and night. The orange net is very important since it reflects the lights and increases the
chance for driver to note the barriers and avoid crashing.
Night Lights
All the AL YAMAMA COMPANY placed concrete barriers in the working places should have one
lighting lamp or more above each one. The lambs will make the barriers more visible during night
by the drivers and not be a source of hazard. All the lamps are connected to an electrical
generator. During rain all the electrical cables, generator and lambs should be isolated or/and
water proof. A separate and trained team will be added to make sure the lighting and signage are
provided for daily basis as per MOT guidelines
Plastic Barriers.
In case of temporary or/and emergency works, the plastic barriers can be used to perform the
work if there are no direct hazards with consultation of the AL YAMAMA COMPANY safety
competent person and/ or the project consultant.

1.4. HSSE Objectives

Waste Prevention are the practices that limit or cut down the amount and/or the toxicity of wastes
that are generated at project site.
2. Reduction

MMR-CAE-EQ0-TP-0000?? Rev.000 Page 30 of 25


HSSE Plan

The waste management hierarchy places top priority on reducing or preventing as much waste
generation as possible.
The idea is to maximize efficiency and prevent the unnecessary consumption of resources
through steps such as:
Procuring raw materials that come with the least packaging or require the fewest resources to
refine.
Avoiding disposable or single-use goods.
Procuring materials that are recycled or can be recycled, repaired, or reused.
Optimizing inventory to prevent perishable goods (e.g., food) from going to waste.
3. Disposal
In context to the project, disposal is the process of storing and removing damaged, used, or other
unwanted domestic and construction waste (Hazardous & Non-Hazardous Waste) from the site.
The disposal method will generally depend on the type of the waste generated.
Waste Classification
The Waste classification shall be based on GAMEP requirements provided in the Rules for
Hazardous Waste Management of the GER.
A. Hazardous wastes
Hazardous wastes are related to the presence of vehicles and equipment and to ongoing activities
on site, and may include the following:
• Liquid waste: wastewater from hydrotesting (if chemical is added to water), wash and
rinsing water (from the concrete works), used chemicals, and used mineral oils,
lubricants, waste abrasives, waste additives (i.e., used for the concrete preparation), etc.
• Solid Waste: contaminated soils by excavation activity, scrap metals if containing
hazardous substances, welding wastes (slag, fluxes, and powders); etc.
• Health care waste.

• Others: drums contaminated with chemicals, compressed gas cylinders, batteries and
accumulators, contaminated absorbents, filter materials, wiping clothes.
• For this procedure the following categories of waste are hazardous waste:

• Batteries

• Paints, solvents and varnishes

• Used oil and greases

• Used oil filters

• Medical waste (Biohazard waste)

• NDT chemical waste

• Fluorescent lights (fluorescent light tubes, arc lamps sodium and mercury)

• Don’t dispose solid waste directly in the soil

• Separate skips/containers should be provided for each recyclable and non-recyclable


waste
• Segregate container for hazardous and non-hazardous waste should be provided
Waste Collection Skip

MMR-CAE-EQ0-TP-0000?? Rev.000 Page 32 of 25


HSSE Plan

Waste collection skips are generally large volume metal bins that may be loaded and unloaded
from the back of waste collection vehicles. Such skips are mainly used for the collection of solid
non-hazardous wastes that will include:
• Domestic wastes including office waste and food waste.
• Inert wastes such as scrap metals and timbers.

• Waste concrete and excavated soil / earth will be collected by an earth truck.
• Excavated soil / earth will be transported to a designated area.

HSSE Plan

11. SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is indeed a crucial aspect of the Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE)
Plan. It ensures that our operations are conducted in a manner that meets present needs without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The HSSE plan defines the process for Sustainability Management, which includes the following
key elements:
Sustainability Permitting Requirements: These are the permissions or licenses that we need to
obtain from relevant authorities to ensure our operations are sustainable. The requirements could
relate to emissions, waste disposal, water usage, and other environmental aspects. We will
identify all necessary permits, apply for them in a timely manner, and ensure we comply with all
their conditions.
Sustainable Operations: Our operations will be designed and managed to minimize our
environmental footprint. This could involve using energy-efficient equipment, reducing waste,
recycling materials, and other sustainable practices. We will continuously monitor our operations
and take corrective actions if any sustainability issues are identified.
Stakeholder Engagement: We will engage with stakeholders, including employees, customers,
suppliers, local communities, and regulators, to understand their sustainability concerns and
expectations. Their input will be considered in our decision-making processes and in the
continuous improvement of our sustainability performance.
Performance Monitoring and Reporting: We will regularly monitor and report on our sustainability
performance. This will involve tracking key performance indicators (KPIs), conducting audits and
inspections, and producing sustainability reports. The results will be reviewed by management
and used to drive continuous improvement.
Training and Awareness: We will provide training to our employees on sustainability issues and
our sustainability practices. This will ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities in
achieving our sustainability objectives.
By incorporating these elements into our HSSE plan, we aim to ensure that our operations are not
only safe and secure but also sustainable.

MMR-CAE-EQ0-TP-0000?? Rev.000 Page 41 of 25


HSSE Plan

• open non-conformities (if needed)

• follow up on the non-conformities

• prepare a report (summary, conclusions, correctives actions)

• report the status/situation to the Project Manager and/or the HSE Manager

14.1.2. Subcontractor and Supplier Audits

Scope of Audit
The contents and coverage of the audit shall include the following:
• Ensure conformance with HSE Policy, system and procedures.

• Assess the effectiveness of HSE activities.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of the HSE Management System implementation

• Promote understanding among the employees

• Establish a standard approach and methodology for HSE Audit

• Communicate information to Management


Execution of Audit
• While conducting the audit as per the HSE Audit plan, the auditor should utilize the
prescribed document report to record the outcome of the audit.
• After all documents, procedures, workplace, and equipment have been inspected, the
auditor shall formulate a concise report that details all areas of the subject audit. Focus on
the basic audit questions. Deficiencies should be addressed including comments of a
positive nature for each element.
• The auditor shall complete the audit report and issue to all relevant departments and
subcontractors.
• Upon receiving the audit report, the responsible will ensure the development of the
required action plan for implementing the audit recommendations.
• HSE department shall check on the progress and actions taken in relation to the
corrective actions raised/recommended by the auditor in the report.
Evaluation Scoring
• Part of having a successful HSE process is also having a method of performance
measurement evaluation that continually identifies those areas needing improvement to
meet established goals or standards of excellence.
• The HSE Audit provides a systematic method of evaluating and quantifying performance
in a detailed but uncomplicated fashion and evaluates the administrative and
housekeeping elements separate from the field execution elements. All three portions are
ultimately combined to form the full report.
• This evaluation process gives those performing the assessment an agenda of critical
items to review, and when performing follow-up evaluation, can prompt the evaluator to
revisit past deficiencies for the purpose of measuring improvement and/or verifying
abatement.
• In addition to providing a consistent means of evaluation, this process is well suited to
both those performing the evaluation and those who will use the information to improve
their HSE culture.

audited. This means that activities that are critical to the project's health, safety, security, and
environmental (HSSE) performance will be audited more frequently, while less critical activities
will be audited less frequently.
The audit schedule will be project-specific, taking into account the unique characteristics and
requirements of the project. Factors that will be considered in preparing the audit schedule include
the nature of the activities, the associated HSSE risks, the legal and other requirements
applicable to the activities, and the performance history of the activities.
The preparation of the audit schedule will involve the following steps:
1. Identifying the Activities: All activities that have an impact on the project's HSSE performance
will be identified. This could include operations, maintenance, procurement, training, and other
activities.
2. Assessing the Status and Importance: The status and importance of each activity will be
assessed based on its potential impact on the project's HSSE performance. Activities with a high
potential impact will be considered more important and will be given a higher priority in the audit
schedule.
3. Determining the Audit Frequency: The frequency of audits for each activity will be determined
based on its status and importance. Important activities with a high status will be audited more
frequently.

MMR-CAE-EQ0-TP-0000?? Rev.000 Page 43 of 25


HSSE Plan

4. Preparing the Audit Schedule: The audit schedule will be prepared by assigning audit dates to
each activity based on the determined audit frequency. The schedule will be flexible to
accommodate changes in the project's circumstances and requirements.
5. Reviewing and Approving the Audit Schedule: The audit schedule will be reviewed and
approved by the HSE Manager and the Project Manager. Once approved, the schedule will be
communicated to all relevant parties.
This approach ensures that our audits are focused on the most important activities and that they
are conducted at appropriate intervals to effectively manage the project's HSSE performance.

14.1.4. Auditor Qualifications

planned corrective actions effectively implemented.

The auditor generally verifies the effectiveness of corrective action in an


on-site follow-up audit unless verification is possible based on submitted
new documentation.

MMR-CAE-EQ0-TP-0000?? Rev.000 Page 44 of 25


HSSE Plan

Minor non- In individual cases, some of the requirements of the management


conformities (MiN): system are not fulfilled completely. However, this does not jeopardize
the effectiveness of the management system.

The causes of the identified deficiencies shall be analysed, and the lead
auditor informed of the intended corrective actions.
The auditor generally verifies the effectiveness of corrective action in an
on-site follow-up audit unless verification is possible on the basis of
submitted new documentation.

Opportunities for Aspects that would lead to management system optimization.


improvement (I): Implementation by the organization is recommended.

Positive aspects (P): Positive aspects of the management system meriting special mention

Based on this classification, the HSE Audit findings will be classified. The audited team shall
develop a HSE Audit Tracking spreadsheet in which all the findings will be followed up. The
audited team shall set up deadlines for closing out the findings and the auditor team shall review
and approve them. Deadlines shall consider the criticality of each point as well as the risk that
they represent for the Health and Safety of the Employees and the Facilities as well as the Impact

HSSE Plan

Al Yamama shall make use of the data available to continuously work to drive up standards in
health, safety, social and environment, employing a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
to track specific objectives.
KPI's are a valuable way of monitoring lagging or leading performance. Tracking them is an
integral part of Al Yamama HSE Management System.
While lagging indicators can be used to track incidents that have occurred (past data) and assist
in sourcing the root of the problem, leading indicators are more predictive by nature, and will help
Al Yamama to address and prevent potential issues and incidents from occurring in the first place.
A good KPI is a ‘SMART’ KPI:
Specific – it should be clear what is being measured
Measurable – it should be measurable against set standards
Achievable – target a realistic/achievable goal
Relevant – it should offer insight into overall safety performance
Timely – KPI’s should follow a set timeframe

14.5. CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
