1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the CEEC Health, Safety, Environment, and Social Management System is
to prevent injury, loss of life, and damage to the environment and assets. The program
provides safety criteria for all construction work performed by the contractor itself and
its sub-contractors.

The requirements in this plan detail the need for client services or equipment. CEEC is
committed to following all the relevant and applicable sections and clauses within the
client EHS management system and safe systems of work.

The plan reflects the latest client and construction industry practices. For the project to
proceed safely, all contractor and sub-contractor personnel involved in construction
activities, whether management or site staff will follow the provisions in this plan. Only
with the active commitment of everyone we ensure that the safest possible work
environment can be maintained.

2. INTRODUCTION

This is a project-specific, comprehensive Health, Safety, Environmental, and Social


Construction Management Plan, complying with the international standards, regulations,
and laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in line with the IFC Standards.

The cornerstone of the project is effective HSE management and social advancement.
Establishing a safe construction environment and implementing the international HSE
standards are important measures, which not only reflect on the company’s culture, but
also build an exceptional corporate image, and are the fundamental requirements for the
company’s safety development.

The HSE Plan is formulated on the premise of life first, people-oriented, focus on
prevention principal. It is supported by adequate HSE management experience
CEEC Page 1 of 235

accumulated by the company throughout the years, which will be used as a reference for
the project HSE management standard. The goal of the HSE Plan is to guide the HSE
management implementation in this project and meet the requirements of the owner,
company, and interested parties. This HSE Plan is a 'live document' and shall be
continuously reviewed, revised, and updated as the work progresses to achieve project
objectives.

4. SITE DESCRIPTION

4.1. Landscape and visuals

The project area is not located within 10 km of any protected area (designated or
proposed) by the Saudi Wildlife Authority.
 The nearest protected area is Mahazat as‐Sayed, which is located about 250 km away
from the project area

 The nearest proposed protected area is Ra’s Kishran / Jazirat Sharifah and is about 50
km away from the project area

 The nearest Important Bird Area (IBA) is the Makkah wastewater stream which is
about 40 km away from the project area.

 The project is located about 10 km from the Red Sea shoreline, and therefore located
on one of the most important flyways of migratory birds. The closest sensitive area is
the Shouiba lagoon, about 1.5 km away from the project area. Very close to the eastern

border of the site Jabal Shama, Harrat Shama, and a discharge area of Wadi Damm can
be found. Vegetation on site is sparse but commercially important plants are found on
site. The site is scattered with camel corals, camps, and settlements.

4.2. Ecology

Vegetation in Saudi Arabia can generally be divided into five broad categories:
 Vegetation of the coastal plains and sabkhas

 Deserts and scarcely vegetated areas

 Dwarf shrub‐lands

 Woodlands and xeromorphic shrub‐lands of high-altitude areas

 Wadi communities
The project area falls in an area within the Hijaz Mountain range, located in western Saudi
Arabia. The terrain is characterized by inter‐dunal plains, dominated by sand sheets, as
well as alluvial plains of sand and gravel. Several habitat types have been identified in the
project area during the site visit conducted in November 2017, according to IUCN
classifications:
 8.1 Hot Desert

 3.5 Subtropical / Tropical Dry Shrub Land

Vegetation Map of Saudi Arabia


Flora
The general area is characterized by a desert plain with little to no vegetation coverage
away from the shoreline, while the shoreline is scattered with lagoons, saline flats, and
mangrove trees. The most common species of mangrove trees encountered in the region is
the Gray Mangrove (Avicennia marina).
This species can withstand highly saline conditions and low temperatures. The coastal
saline flats or sabkha are very common along the coast especially south of Jeddah (Vincent,
2008). Due to their high saline conditions and poor drainage, they are practically devoid of
plant life. However, some halophytes can be encountered around their margins; typical
species in the region include Zygophyllum qatarense.
Vegetation in the project area is sparse and is restricted to the northern border of the site
as can be identified using satellite imagery. As little as about 2% of the project area is
covered by vegetation, as can be seen in Figure 4‐18, while Figure 4‐19 shows vegetated
areas as seen on site. All plant species encountered on site are listed in Table 4‐15,
according to the Environmental Site Report dated November 2017.

4.3. Hydrology

Drinking Water
GAMEP provides standards for drinking water quality regardless of origin but does not
apply to bottled mineral water. The list of parameters and guidelines is attached in
Appendix A.

Sourcing Water
Water for this project will be provided from a low salinity water source such as water
trucks by local suppliers.
GAMEP 2014 provides relevant standards for water quality for surface water and
groundwater. According to JACOBS ZATE, the Ministry of Environment, Water, and
Agriculture licenses the abstraction of groundwater and regulates the establishment of any
wastewater treatment plant regarding public health and environmental aspects. The
Wastewater Treatment & Re‐use Policy provides regulation and standards for the disposal
and reuse of wastewater to maximize water efficiency while providing adequate protection
of public health and the environment from pollution and infectious diseases.
Permits from the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture should be issued if
recycled and treated wastewater is to be utilized. Licenses are also needed to use

groundwater that lay within the range of urban cities and rural communities or
groundwater that is of the same quality of wastewater conditioned that the beneficiary
shall analyze groundwater in laboratories accredited by the Ministry of Environment,
4.4. Geology and soil

As noted above, there are no national limits for soil quality. The assessment of soil quality
seeks to adhere to the guidelines described in the UK standards will be adopted for
assessing soil contamination, as it represents the most comprehensive and robust
approach.
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment 26
The UK standards represent the most conservative methodology for assessing land
contamination, owing to the range of assessment criteria and lower threshold limits. The
UK standards define Soil Guideline Values (SGVs) as “scientifically based generic
assessment criteria that can be used to simplify the assessment of human health risks
arising from long‐term and on‐site exposure to chemical contamination in soil.” The
standards also decree that SGVs are generic assessment criteria and should be used as part
of a Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment.
4.5. Archaeology and cultural heritage

Shuaiba Harbor
Shuaiba historical harbor is located about 50 km south of Jeddah. Historical sources say
that the port was the main port for the Arabian Peninsula before the Islamic era. It was
believed that Caliph Uthman Ibn Affan, in 26 AH / 616 AD, had established the current
Jeddah port for receiving caravans of pilgrims to the Holy cities replacing Shuaiba Harbor.

Makkah
The project is in Makkah province along the coast of the Red Sea. The closest culturally
important site is Makkah city. It is regarded as the holiest city in Islam as it is the
birthplace of Prophet Muhammad, the site of Muhammad’s first revelation of the Quran,
and home to the Holy Kaaba. Millions of pilgrims (hajjis) flood the city every year during
hajj. The project is located approximately 72km south of the Holy Kaaba.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) named a
part of Jeddah “Historic Jeddah, the Gate to Makkah” as a cultural heritage site for meeting
criteria ii, iv, and vi,

4.6. Noise and vibration

In addition to the standards defined by the IFC, the EHS guidelines state that noise impacts
from a project must not exceed a maximum increase of 3 dB above background levels at
the nearest receptor located offsite.
Identification of sensitive receptors and modeling of potential noise impacts must
therefore be undertaken as part of the impact assessment and mitigation defined to ensure
compliance with both the National and IFC requirements.
The General EHS Guidelines address the impacts of noise beyond the boundary of the
facilities. As stipulated in the Guidelines, noise emissions for industrial areas should not
exceed 70 dBA (one-hour LAeq) during daytime (07:00‐22:00) and night‐time (22:00‐
07:00) or result in a maximum increase in background levels of more than 3 dB at the
nearest receptor location off‐site.
Furthermore, the Guideline provides some noise reduction options that should be
considered. These options include:
 Selecting equipment with lower sound power levels

 Installing silencers for fans

 Installing suitable mufflers on engine exhausts and compressor components

 Installing acoustic enclosures for equipment casing radiating noise

 Improving the acoustic performance of constructed buildings, applying sound


insulation
The Guidelines state that noise monitoring may be carried out to establish the baseline
ambient noise levels in a proposed or existing facility, or for verifying operational noise
levels.
Noise monitoring programs should be designed and conducted by trained specialists.
Typical monitoring periods should be sufficient for statistical analysis.
Construction Activities According to the IFC’s General EHS Guidelines noise impacts
should not exceed the levels presented in Table 2‐11. Further details on noise impacts
are detailed in the IFC’s General EHS Guidelines: Occupational Health and Safety and
include the following:
 No employee should be exposed to a noise level greater than 85 dB (A) for a duration
of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. In addition, no unprotected
ear should be exposed to a peak sound pressure level (instantaneous) of more than
140 dB(C).

 The use of hearing protection should be enforced actively when the equivalent sound
level over 8 hours reaches 85 dB(A), the peak sound levels reach 140 dB(C), or the

CEEC Page 10 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

average maximum sound level reaches 110dB(A). Hearing protective devices provided
should be capable of reducing sound levels at the ear to at least 85 dB (A).

 Although hearing protection is preferred for any period of noise exposure over 85 dB
(A), an equivalent level of protection can be obtained, but less easily managed, by
limiting the duration of noise exposure. For every 3 dB (A) increase in sound levels,
the ‘allowed’ exposure period or duration should be reduced by 50 percent.

 Before the issuance of hearing protective devices as the final control mechanism, the
use of acoustic insulating materials, isolation of the noise source, and other
engineering controls should be investigated and implemented, where feasible.

 Periodic medical hearing checks should be performed on workers exposed to high


noise levels.

4.7. Air quality

Given that KSA is a non‐OECD country and Principle 3 of the EP states that the
assessment for projects located in non‐OECD countries will refer to the applicable IFC
Performance Standards and the applicable Industry Specific EHS Guidelines, the
assessment in this chapter will consider the following guidelines: IFC
Environmental, Health, and Safety General Guidelines (April 30, 2007) and specifically
Air Emissions and Ambient Air Quality section and Construction section.
According to the Equator Principles, KSA is a Non‐Designated Country. Consequently,
Equator Principle 3 requires the environmental assessment screening process to be
carried out using the host country and the environmental standards and assessment
criteria derived in compliance with the IFC Performance Standards and EHS Guidelines.
The most stringent of all the appropriate regulations are to be applied during the
assessment. The IFC EHS guidelines require implementation of the WHO Ambient air
quality guidelines or the host country regulations, whichever is more stringent.

conditions will be attached to ESIA Approval.

Part 4: Regulations and Guidance


The main legal requirements, standards, and regulations regarding environmental
assessment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the requirement for Environmental
Impact Assessments (EIAs), are established by the
Rules for Implementation ‐ General Environmental Regulations (2001) issued by the PME
(currently known as GAMEP).
The emphasis on considering the environmental aspects in the planning phase for projects
and programs as well as the requirements for conducting an EIA are specified within the
General Environmental Regulations 2001 as follows:
Article Ten: "Environmental aspects will be taken into consideration in planning for
projects and programs, in the development plans of the various sectors, and the general
development plan. These environmental aspects should be taken into consideration in a
manner to achieve sustainable development objectives…"
Article Eleven: "A project owner or proprietor will conduct environmental studies to
evaluate the environmental impacts of the project and comply with the outcome of the
environmental impact assessment study by environmental standards and guidelines
specified in the Rules for Implementation or any subsequent amendments and
supplements."
According to the General Environmental Regulations (2001), Appendix 2J “Guidelines for
Classification of Industrial and Development Projects”, projects are classified according to
their impacts on the environment into three main categories. This project is classified as
CEEC Page 15 of 235
ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

"Third Category". Projects belonging to this Category "are expected to have serious
negative effects on man and the environment and thus require a comprehensive
environmental impact assessment".
GAMEP (formerly known as PME) determines the following procedures that should be
accounted for within
EIAs (Appendix 2.4 of the General Environmental Regulations, 2001):
 Presentation of the project
 Description of the project and its objectives
 Goals
 Need for the project
 Environmental and Social Impact Assessment

i. Equator Principles III (2013)

The Equator Principles (EPs) are a voluntary set of guidelines for assessing and
managing environmental and social risks in project financing and have become the
project finance industry standard for addressing environmental and social issues in
project financing globally.

By Equator Principles III, for projects located in Non-Designated Countries (i.e.,


including KSA), the Assessment process evaluates compliance with the applicable IFC
Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability (Performance
Standards) and the World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines
(EHS Guidelines).

ii. JBIC Guidelines for Confirmation of Environmental and Social Considerations

CEEC Page 17 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

The growing interest in environmental conservation has led to a worldwide trend


toward more rigorous environmental regulations. There are more than a few cases,
especially in overseas projects, in which insufficient risk management of possible
environmental and social impacts has seriously affected project implementation or
undermined its social reputation.

In conducting these operations, JBIC confirms whether the borrower has made
appropriate considerations for local communities and the natural environment in all the
JBIC-financed projects based on the “Japan Bank for International Cooperation
Guidelines for Confirmation of Environmental and Social Considerations”
(Environmental Guidelines).

The Environmental Guidelines set out the procedures, criteria, and requirements that
JBIC-financed projects must meet in confirming environmental and social
considerations. When JBIC judges that the project proponents have not made
appropriate environmental and social considerations, it will encourage them to take
remedial measures. If appropriate environmental and social considerations have not
been taken, JBIC may decide not to extend funding. In addition, JBIC established and
made public the “Japan Bank for International Cooperation Guidelines for Confirmation
of Information Disclosure Considerations for Nuclear Sector Projects” (Information
Disclosure Guidelines) in December 2017. Based on the Information Disclosure
Guidelines, JBIC confirms that appropriate measures are carried out by project
proponents and other relevant parties to ensure information disclosure and public
participation for issues specific to each project.

iii. IFC Performance Standards on Environment and Social Sustainability (2012)

The IFC Performance Standards are a key component of the IFC’s Sustainability
Framework and are directed towards clients (i.e., parties responsible for implementing
and operating the project that is being financed) guiding on how to identify risks and
impacts. The IFC Performance Standards are designed to help avoid, mitigate, and
manage risks and impacts throughout the life of a project as a way of doing business
sustainably, including stakeholder engagement and disclosure obligations of the client in
relatable activities.
The IFC Performance Standards (2012) are listed below:
 Performance Standard 1: Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social
Risks and Impacts.
 Performance Standard 2: Labor and Working Conditions; Including International
Labor Organization (ILO) Conventions.
CEEC Page 18 of 235
ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

 Performance Standard 3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention.


 Performance Standard 4: Community Health, Safety, and Security.
 Performance Standard 5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement.
 Performance Standard 6: Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of
Living Natural Resources.
 Performance Standard 7: Indigenous Peoples.
 Performance Standard 8: Cultural Heritage.
iv. IFC EHS Guidelines (2007)

The World Bank Group International Finance Corporation (IFC), Environmental, Health
and Safety (EHS) General Guidelines of April 2007 superseded the World Bank

potential to cause injury or ill health.
Work-related event(s) in which an injury, ill health, property damage,
environmental incident, or fatality occurs, or could have occurred.
An incident where no injury, ill health, or fatality occurs may also be
referred to as a “near-miss”, “near-hit”, “or close call”. An emergency is a
particular type of incident.

Accident The event has given rise to injury, ill health, or fatality.

Serious Accident An accident that causes a permanent total or partial disability or death to
a worker, causes injury to more than one worker or leads to losses in
production and equipment.

implemented with the practical means for achieving the identified HSE
objectives.

Risk assessment: Is a technique for evaluating the likelihood that an incident will occur and
the likely consequences if it were to occur.
The objective of risk management is the reduction of the level of risk “as
far as reasonably practicable”. The project decides whether or not the risk
is acceptable based on effective assessment methods.

Continual Continual improvement is a recurring process that enhances the project’s


improvement HSE management system and improves its overall HSE performance.
Continual improvements must be consistent with the project’s HSE policy
and can be achieved by carrying out internal audits, performance
measurements, management reviews, analyzing data, implementing
corrective and preventive actions, etc.

HSE Supervisor: As part of the HSE team verify the correct implementation of the HSE
policy, plans, and procedures, and make sure that employers and workers
put them into practice and follow safety laws; it is a key role to prevent
accidents, injuries, and health concerns in the workplace.

Procedures: A document describing the purpose and scope of activity and the specific
way the activity is to be performed to an achieved project requirement. It
includes an auditable series of steps defining roles, responsibilities, and
tasks to transform a defined input into a defined output.

Management of A systematic approach to dealing with change, both from the perspective
change of an organization and on the individual level, proactively addressing and
adapting to change, controlling change, and effecting change.

Non-Conformance The non-fulfillment of specified requirements.

Injury or illness An injury or illness is considered work-related if an event or exposure in


the work environment caused or contributed to the condition or
significantly aggravated a pre-existing condition.

Fatality (FTL) An accident that causes someone to die.

Lost Work Case An injury or illness that results in days away from work. An injury/illness
will be classified as a lost work case when the next normal shift is missed.

18.1. Work Permits

 Work permit is an authorization to do or perform certain work on an energized


equipment or part of the energized system in a restricted area. It is issued by an
authorized employee of the concerned proponent organization. The receiver will also
be an authorized person, who will be delegated the authority of receiving the work
permit. Before issuance of the work permit both the issuer and receiver will ensure
the safe working conditions of personnel and equipment.

 After issuance and receipt of work permit, the equipment or the circuit involved will
be switched off by the on-duty switch man of the proponent organization.
Appropriate tags will be placed on the equipment under work permit if the permit is
valid.

 After completion of the work, the work permit will be closed-out by the authorized
issuer and receiver after observing all closing-out requirements. The tag will be then
removed by the authorized person.

 Every care will be taken while restoring the electric supply. No job is more urgent, or
no service is more important than the safety of the workers. Therefore, safety of
personnel must be ensured before energizing the involved electrical equipment or
system.

 In case the receiver of the work permit needs to leave the work site (for genuine
reason), he will inform the issuer and designate other authorized receiver of work
permit to look after the work in his behalf.

 The work permit will be displayed at the job site.

 Receiver of the work permit will stay in the workplace for the complete duration of
work permit.

 Issuer/receiver of the work permit shall stop the work if the facility is found unsafe.

Part VI
19. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION RISK ANALYSIS

19.1. Method Statements & Risk Assessments

Risk Assessments will be produced for all site work activities. EPC Contractor will
review & comment where necessary, on Method Statements & Risk Assessments (MSRA)
before work begins. This is carried out for the Construction and Commissioning
activities and/or any other activity considered of high risk within the scope of the
project. The relevant Contractor Method Statements and Risk Assessments shall be
submitted to Owner for approval, prior to tasks being undertaken.

19.2. Method of Statement

This project MSRA sets out the general HSE arrangements and key processes and
methodologies to be applied to the project. Specific task-related arrangements shall be
detailed within project Method Statements.

Project method statements shall incorporate the requirements of this project MSRA and
always consider the requirements of:

 Legal & Contractual HSE requirements


 EPC CONTRACTOR HSE procedures requirements
 Contract specifications
 International Standards / Industry best practice (e.g., H&S Executive)
 EPC CONTRACTOR risk register / task-specific risk assessment control measures
 EPC CONTRACTOR environmental impact assessment register control measures

19.3. Expectations for Method Statements

Contractor Line Management shall approve their own task method statements for work
activities. Risk Assessments shall be part of such Method Statements and all the
documents shall meet legal and contractual requirements and reflect the contractor’s
desire to achieve the best and safest practices in all the activities carried out by EPC
CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors within the scope and during the whole life of the
Al Shuaibah 1&2 PV project.

Method Statements (along with their Risk Assessments) shall document how risks
associated with identifiable tasks will be controlled. EPC CONTRACTOR shall review all

CEEC Page 69 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

subcontractor method statements and risk assessments prior to the start of work. To
ensure that every site task by personnel or subcontractors receives proper HSE
preparation, immediately before commencement of permitted work, a method
statement will be developed by the individual, or team carrying out the task. In so doing,
those carrying out the task shall confirm that the method statement remains valid or
identify and document any additional hazards present and any additional control
measures or safe systems of work required to carry out the task safely. Should the task
change, an additional review shall be completed and, if out with the scope of a permit or
the applicable risk assessment and method statement, supervision must be informed to
ensure appropriate steps can be taken.

In the development of the Method Statements the person in charge shall consider the
following criteria:

Content Expectations

Activity The task or activity shall be accurately identified clearly describing


the planned activity including set up and clearance where
appropriate

Capability The activity is within the recognized competence of the


contractor’s work team.
Relevant competency requirements should be stated including for
emergency procedures

Presentation The method statement is coherently presented and accurately


describes a logical sequence of work that is easily understood by
the work team. This is based upon WHO, WHAT, WHERE WHEN
AND HOW

Sub-contractors Each contractor must review the risk assessments/method


statements of their subcontractors.

• Construction plant utilization,
• Temporary works,
• Tools and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
• Construction sequence,
• Environmental considerations,
• Safety arrangements and
• Permit to work

Adequacy The scope of the method statement and the level of control for
significant findings must be adequate for the undertaking.
Risks associated with work equipment and substances must be
addressed in sufficient detail so that risks and controls are readily
understood and unambiguous.
Detailed risk assessments for specific activities shall be required
when warranted by the level of risk, e.g., Manual Handling, Lifting
Studies, etc.
Common risk assessments/method statements may be submitted
for approval even though they have been previously approved.
Method Statements and Risk Assessments packs should therefore
be tailored to the specifics of the tasks at hand and the associated
environment.
Emergency Procedures/requirements should be detailed

Table 7-1 Method Statements Expectations

Every department shall have control of their own Method Statements (and Risk
Assessments) and the departments in charge of this process shall verify the status of
each one of the documents developed and/or submitted for approval to the Owner’s
representatives.

19.4. Hazard Identification

EPC CONTRACTOR shall identify and control the hazards associated with the works to
be performed. Hazard Identification shall be completed as part of the process to develop
the Risk Assessments associated with the Method Statements of the project activities. All
employees shall be trained in basic hazard identification techniques and empowered to
notify supervision of the existence of any hazards in the workplace. EPC CONTRACTOR
shall employ administrative, engineering, and personal protective measures to eliminate
and/or control workplace hazards. Supervisors shall be responsible for the continuous
monitoring of work operations and individual employee activities. Supervisors shall be
empowered to ensure safety compliance and to implement corrective actions when
required.
Hazard Identification is defined as a process used to evaluate the sources of hazards,
identify existing or potential hazards associated with the source, and develop specific
measures to eliminate or control the hazard.
A Hazard Identification should be performed for work locations, systems, site
equipment and tasks with significant risk exposure.

The following factors can be used for guidance when selecting work locations and tasks
to be assessed:
 If a Hazard Identification has not been done before.

 When unsafe acts and/or unsafe conditions have been identified.

 Where new information about risk becomes available or concerns about a risk are
raised by workers.

 When a change to the workplace may introduce or change an already identified


hazard. Changes can be considered for example, in work equipment, work practices,
procedures and/or the environment, introduction of new equipment and/or
chemical substances, and introduction of new employees, among others.

 As part of responding to a workplace incident, even where an injury has not


occurred.

 When a work location or work that has repeatedly produced accidents or illnesses is
a candidate for a Hazard Identification. The greater number of accidents associated
with a given location or task, the higher its priority for Hazard Identification.

CEEC Page 72 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

 When some work locations and/or works may not have a history of accidents but
may have the potential for severe or catastrophic injury or equipment damage. Such
work locations and tasks should be given appropriate consideration for performing
a detailed Hazard Identification.

 At regularly scheduled times appropriate to the workplace

The Hazard Identification is not only driven by the work to be performed on-site but
also by the inherent sources of conditions at any given facility. As such, each task, as well
as the work locations and equipment at the facility must be evaluated and hazard
identification shall be performed as necessary.

Hazards can be divided into several groups as per table No. 11

All employees and/or teams leading the development of Risk Assessments shall use this
table as a reference to identify easily the hazards involved in tasks and/or specific
workplaces and equipment.

19.5. Risk Assessment and Determining controls

Risk assessment is a technique for evaluating the likelihood that an incident will occur,
and the probable consequences if it were to occur. Likelihood refers to the probability or
chance that an incident will occur while consequence refers to the outcome of an
incident in terms of injury, loss, damage or harm.

The aim of risk assessment is to establish the level of risk to enable the evaluation or
judging of the acceptability of the level of risk. The objective of risk management is the
reduction of the (level) of risk “as far as reasonably practicable” – to an acceptable level.

Hazards are things with the potential to cause injury, loss, damage or harm and are
inherent to equipment, material, activities/tasks and processes. Equipment, material,
activities/tasks and processes are therefore examined in detail through risk assessment,
to identify:

 how they could cause injury, loss, damage or harm (incident);

 what the resulting injury, loss, damage or harm would be (consequence);

 how bad the injury, loss, damage, or harm would be (severity); and

 the probability/chance, with existing controls considered, that the injury, loss,
damage or harm will occur (likelihood).

Risk assessment provides a means for discovering and evaluating hazards to identify the
hazards that must be controlled. Hazards can be controlled in two ways, namely:

measures such as training, machine guarding, etc.; and

 Limiting/controlling the consequences of an incident if it does occur, using fire


extinguishers, first aid treatment, etc.

Risk is a quantified combination of the abovementioned two factors. It is calculated by


combining estimated values for the likelihood of an incident occurring and the severity
of the consequence of an incident if it were to occur.

The formula for calculating risk is –


Risk (of a particular hazard) = Likelihood (of an incident occurring) x Severity (of a
particular consequence).

Although the resulting risk value is a subjective estimation, it gives an indication of the
risk level on which an evaluation or judgement of the acceptability of the risk can be
based. Such a judgement is made during a structured risk assessment session by an
informed group that includes persons exposed to the hazards.

The risk value also allows for the prioritization of unacceptably high risks so that
attention can immediately be focused on critical/unacceptable risks, so that immediate
and imminent danger can be treated first to prevent critical incidents from occurring.

The next level of risk is treated once the critical risks have all been dealt with. This
phased approach ensures that risks are controlled and/or eliminated methodically,
according to their criticality.

To achieve the best outcome from this process, the risk assessment program consists of
the following actions:
 The identification of all hazards to which persons may be exposed to health and
safety hazard or that may harm the environment.

 The analysis of the risk related to the identified hazards.

 Documenting a plan to mitigate, reduce or control the identified hazards and risks;
and

Date:24/08/2022

 Developing a plan to monitor and review compliance to the risk-reduction measures.

Risk Assessments shall be carried out using a 5-step process as detailed below:

Figure 7-1 Risk Assessment Process

Risk management plan or risk control measures are applied step by step, and in the
sequence of the hierarchy of risk control:

1. Elimination – modifying a design to eliminate the hazard, e.g., terminate the use of
a substance, terminate an activity, etc.
2. Substitution – substituting a less hazardous material or reduce the system energy
(e.g., lower the force, amperage, pressure and temperature)
3. Engineering controls – installing ventilation systems, machine guarding,
interlocks, sound enclosures, etc.
4. HSE training, Signs, warnings, and administrative controls – safety signs,
hazardous area marking, photo-luminescent signs, markings for pedestrian
walkways, warning sirens/lights, alarms, safety procedures, equipment
inspections, access controls, etc.
5. Personal protective equipment (PPE): safety glasses, hearing protection, face
shields, safety harnesses, respirators, and gloves.

ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

High and medium risk exposures (those with a risk rating corresponding with the red
and amber bands in the Risk Matrix) are examined and measures that would effectively
control the identified risks are identified in the order prescribed by the hierarchy of risk
control. Existing and planned control measures are considered, but additional controls
are introduced, and existing or planned controls are improved if it is suspected that they
would not control the risk effectively.

Existing and planned controls are evaluated according to the following:


 What more can be done to reduce the likelihood of the consequence occurring?
 What can be done to limit the severity of the consequence?

Measures that would simultaneously control likelihood and severity are considered first,
then measures that would control the higher of likelihood and severity, and lastly
measures to control the lower of the two.

The following prompts are considered in the identification of control measures:


 Is it possible to eliminate the equipment/material/process/activity completely?
 Is there a safer alternative?

 Is there a way to prevent the incident from occurring entirely?

 Is there a way to reduce the risk mechanically or with additional hardware?

 Is there a way to draw attention to the risk or raise awareness of the risk or instruct
workers on how to work safely?

 Is there PPE that can reduce the severity of the consequence?

 What more can be done to reduce the likelihood of the incident happening?

 What more can be done to limit the severity of the consequences of the incident?

Risk control measures are implemented according to risk value, with the highest of the
high being treated immediately, followed by the next level, and so on. Risk exposures
with a high likelihood of occurrence and possibly severe consequences are treated
without delay. The next group of risks is treated once the critical risks have been treated
and are under control. High risks (red band) must be treated immediately and medium
risks (amber band) as soon as possible thereafter. Low risks (green band) do not require
any specific treatment, but monitoring of existing controls, where applicable, continues.
Control(s) for any hazard may fall under but not limited to the following categories:

a. Isolation

31.1.1. Monitoring work activities and areas

EPC CONTRACTOR will schedule monitoring activities based on risk profile. EPC
CONTRACTOR and subcontractors shall develop their own schedule of monitoring
activities and shall submit this to EPC CONTRACTOR Engineer in charge and HSE
department for review. Monitoring activities may be carried out jointly or separately;
the selection criteria and frequency of activity will be primarily based on risk. Selected
information will be collated by EPC CONTRACTOR as part of the HSE performance
monitoring process

31.1.2. HSE Monitoring Activity Schedule

a) Safety Observation Reports (SOR’s) are an observational tool used to report good
and bad practices as well as to record concerns, issues, improvement ideas and
any other relevant safety information. Completed SOR’s shall be passed to EPC
CONTRACTOR HSE manager to input to EPC CONTRACTOR action tracking system.

b) While the project goal is for one SOR to be completed per 200 work hours it is
important that the quality of these remain good and actions are taken to address
any issues or concerns within an appropriate timescale. Each subcontractor is
asked to fully support this program. SORs will be trended monthly as part of the
monthly safety report, awards will be made for good submissions and random
draws will be conducted at both operator and supervisor level entries as part of the
reward and recognition program.

c) Site Safety Surveys are completed on a regular basis, with the frequency increasing
during the peak construction phase. Topics that are selected for assessment, are
those highlighted from the SOR’s raised during the period. These surveys are
conducted by the HSE team members and Supervision and focus in on a particular
aspect in order to identify any particular improvements.

d) Safety inspections shall be carried out for offsite facilities including subcontractor
accommodations, temporary material yards, storerooms, subcontractor
toilet/washroom facilities, parking facilities, generator sets, etc. Frequency will vary
as per the different construction phase.

e) Work pack, Permit and Housekeeping reviews are conducted on an informal


walk through by Supervision of all contractors and the HSE team. Formal permit
audits are also completed on annual basis.

f) Managers Walk thorough are conducted daily on an informal basis.

g) HSE Inspections are conducted weekly on a formal basis and involve the Site
Manager or nominated deputy, of each company. These are reported via the HSE
Inspection Checklist & are formally scored. HSE inspection will be carried out for
site activities, site offices, temporary facilities, workers/staff accommodation,
workshops, store, storage yards, generator areas, parking areas, subcontractor
facilities etc.

h) Visiting Managers Reports – The EPC CONTRACTOR Operations Management


teams conduct Site Walkthrough quarterly, and actions from these are recorded and
closed out.

i) Task, functional and system audits are completed as required basis and often
incorporate learning from other sites or focus on a particular topic or item that has
been identified.

j) Internal Audits are also completed as required to ensure a safe working


environment.

32.2. Safety Awards

The EPC CONTRACTOR Good Practice Awards is one of the main elements of the
Healthy Workplaces Campaign, designed to highlight the best examples of managers
and employees working together for risk and loss prevention.

The awards aim to demonstrate the benefits of following good safety and health
practices. Winners will be expected to show strong management leadership and
active worker participation in safety and health. EPC CONTRACTOR will be looking
for the best examples of mutual collaboration and benefit. Entries are welcome from
all employers and workers, safety and health professionals and practitioners, and
those aiding and information at the workplace level.

CEEC Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) is having detail
Reward procedure ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-PRO-009-A which will be thoroughly
observed at site by the respective site Management.

33. HEALTH, SAFETY, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENT STATISTIC (KPI)


As part of the HSE Reports, EPC CONTRACTOR shall prepare the statistics of all the
relevant Key Performance Indicators.

EPC CONTRACTOR 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 EPC CONTRACTOR 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 EPC CONTRACTOR to address and prevent potential issues and
incidents from occurring in the first place.

CEEC Page 136 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

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

Among the Leading Performance Indicators, EPC CONTRACTOR will report the following
but not limited to:
-No. of preventive inspections
-Employee HSE Training
-Health programs implemented (health checkups)
-Environmental practices implemented
-Proactive Practices held by EPC CONTRACTOR and subcontractors
-No. of Permit to Work issued
-No. of Risk Assessments developed
-Revision of HSE procedures for continuous improvement
-Top Management Tours
-HSE Meeting
-HSE Campaigns
-HSE Awards to employees/teams/companies with best HSE Performance
-Participation of HSE Committees
-Preventive housekeeping
-Overall employees’ engagement
-Preventive maintenance carried out to machinery
-Implementation of preventive actions from incidents occurred in other sites

Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

Although EPC CONTRACTOR will always strive to prevent loss in the project, when HSE
cases may occur, EPC CONTRACTOR shall pay attention and get focused on the corrective
actions derived from the analysis of HSE incidents. These HSE incidents will be
considered as lagging indicators and they will be monitored and track through proper
statistics monthly. The type of lagging indicators to consider are the following:
-Lost-time Incidents
-Lost workdays
-Lost-time Incident Frequency
-Medical Treatments
-Restricted Work Cases
-Total Recordable Incident Frequency
-First Aids
-Near Misses
-Dangerous occurrences
-Property damage
-Environmental Potential Risks (biodiversity, waste, resource efficiency, chance finds)
-Environmental Incidents
-Vehicle traffic incidents
-Fires
-Unsafe Acts
-Unsafe Conditions
-Social Issues (Stakeholder, working conditions, community H&S, chance finds)
In order to assess and to identify trends, the man-hours generated by the man power
working in site will be recorded on a daily basis and reported on a monthly basis.

1) to anticipate and avoid adverse impacts on the health and safety of affected
communities during the project life from both routine and nonroutine circumstances
and

2) to ensure that the safeguarding of personnel and property is carried out in


accordance with relevant human rights principles and in a manner that avoids or
minimizes risks to the affected communities.

Briefly, contractor to do the following:

 Assess the security risk their operations may have or could create for
communities.

 Develop ways to manage and mitigate these risks.

 Manage private security responsibly.

 Engage with public security; and


• Consider and investigate allegations of unlawful acts by security personnel.

Grievance mechanism for security concerns Communication and discussion with


workers and communities regarding security arrangements.
Consideration of allegations of unlawful acts by security personnel

Address Grievances:

When security problems arise or communities have complaints, companies should


ensure that they have a method to respond.

This generally involves:

Receiving Complaints:
How can communities share information about allegations or incidents? (What is the
Contractor’s grievance mechanism?) How are complaints recorded and information
collected?
How are complaints considered? What type of inquiry is undertaken for more serious
issues? (What is the company’s inquiry procedure?) Companies should record their
information, analysis, and any conclusions or recommendations in a basic memo or
incident report.

Reporting
Alleged illegal acts should be reported to the proper authorities.

Acting and Monitoring


What can be done to prevent recurrence? Are remedial actions needed for affected
parties? Companies are encouraged to identify lessons learned and to integrate these
into future practices and, where appropriate, to communicate them to external
stakeholders.

Contractor should “not sanction any use of force except when used for preventive and
defensive purposes in proportion to the nature and extent of the threat.”

45. SPILL PREVENTION CONTROL


CEEC aims at zero spills through following best practices in engineering and adopting
suitable environmental management measures.

During operational activities every effort will be made to implement measures and
actions to contain uncontrolled spills (and prevent its escalation) by all CEEC personnel.

All personnel performing or supervising the various phases of work will be familiar with
international and local standards and have gained sufficient operational experience to
be able to take preventive measures in all types of high-risk situations. Likewise, all
vehicles, vessels, and equipment will be kept in efficient working order and good
maintenance conditions.
This will reduce dramatically the likelihood of spill due to both human errors and
malfunctioning.
The following paragraphs describe the strategies that will be adopted to prevent the
most critical spills.
 Any hazardous material will be managed in such a manner to minimize to the
fullest extent possible the potential for harm to human health or the
environment.

 The operator of hazardous material drum or other moveable container storage


areas shall provide these areas with secondary containment. The secondary
containment will be provided by:
o an outer shell or multiple-wall tank, where the volume of secondary
containment will be at least 100% of the volume held in the primary
container,
or
o a bounded area that is impervious to the hazardous material being stored
and where the volume inside the secondary containment will be greater
of 10% of the total volume of hazardous material storage within the
containment area plus water accumulation from a 100 mm storm event

 The operator of fixed hazardous material storage tanks containing materials that
are liquid at standard conditions (0C, 101,325 Pa) shall provide secondary
containment and leak protection as follows:

CEEC Page 196 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

o an outer shell or multiple-wall tank, where the volume of secondary


containment will be at least 100% of the volume held in the primary
container,
or
o bounded area which is impervious (such as an HDPE liner of a minimum
thickness of 1.5 mm) to the hazardous material being stored and where
the volume inside the secondary containment will be greater than 10% of
the total volume of hazardous material storage within the containment
area plus water accumulation from a 100mm storm event.

 Valves, fittings, and other appurtenances associated with hazardous materials


storage tanks or hazardous materials transfer (other than those associated with
fill and discharge pipelines) will be located within secondary containment.

 Stockpiles of solid hazardous materials which may produce hazardous leachate


with hazardous properties be stored, loaded, and unloaded in impervious areas
equipped with dikes, bunds, curbs or collection systems designed to retain
leachate and precipitation. The containment system will be of enough size to
retain the accumulation from a 100 mm storm.
 The operator of a facility shall maintain hazardous material stockpiles to prevent
wind dispersion of the material.
The general strategies to minimize spills are:
 Properly label containers
 Use appropriate segregation practices for hazardous materials (refer to MSDSs
recommendations)
 Locate all storage tanks and drums on paved areas, contained within a suitably
sized retention bund
 Keep Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) at storage areas
 Keep suitable spill clean-up materials spill materials close to the designated
storage area and ensure they are readily available to properly deal with any
accidental spillage
 To protect groundwater aquifers shall avoid locating the Storage areas near
entrances to sewers and drains and if possible, evaluate the inclination of the soil.

Date:24/08/2022

The following action will be implemented:


 Place retention tanks or drip trays below drum taps and fuel hoses to collect
every drip and leak.
 Use portable tanks placed under engine drain points to prevent any spilling of oils
during oil changes. The contents of these tanks will be transferred immediately to
sealed drums within the designated waste oil storage areas.
 All vehicles will be re-fueled outside or at designated re-fueling areas (see
following figure).
 Properly connect delivery pipes. Ensure the integrity of all terminals and in-line
connections.
 Operator shall always control the dispenser.
 Refueling activities shall not take place on site traffic access routes.
 Refueling shall not take place within 30 m of any hot work activity.
 The fuel tanker and receiving vehicle shall not be parked on any environmentally
sensitive surface.
 Check tanker delivery hose for residual fuel from last fueling operation. If there is
residual fuel, handle the delivery hose accordingly.
 Properly connect delivery pipes. Ensure the integrity of all terminals and in-line
connections.

45.1. General Control Measures

This section provides a general overview of response options to deal with possible
spills during site activities. These may include more significant spills arising from
accidents, or spills resulting from leaking fuel tanks, chemical drums, etc., that can lead
to large releases of material.
Any incidents where pollutant spills are involved require immediate response to stop
the source of the discharge, to limit the spread of material and to ensure the safety of
personnel and the sensitivity in the area where spill occurred.

To response a spill a suitable Response Team will be appointed in site for a prompt
response.

CEEC Page 198 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

CEEC will receive from Subcontractors a map with clear indication of the storage
areas. The map will indicate the positions of available spill kits; spill kits and fire
extinguishers will be clearly highlighted at site with proper signs.

CEEC and Subcontractors are not to carry on equipment repairs at site to eliminate
potential wastes or oil spills.

Such information will be shared with all the emergency team member.

For more serious incidents, additional resources and external emergency services may
be alerted (e.g. Pumps and Vacuum Tankers provided by external vendor).
Furthermore, it will be noticed that most of larger spills on the ground may be easily
avoided by adopting the recommended preventive practices.

During response operations, priority will be given to the protection of health and
safety of the personnel involved. Therefore, appropriate PPE will be worn during the
response activities.

I. SPILL IDENTIFICATION:
The first step after the occurrence of a spillage is the identification of its source. Once
the spill has been assessed, response measures will be immediately selected and
undertaken to mitigate its effects. Any response action may depend on the spill severity.

II. INCIDENT EVALUATION:


After spill identification, the severity of the spill will be evaluated to select the proper
response strategies.

The severity is strictly connected to the potential consequences, as indicated in the


paragraph.
The MSDS will be used for identifying the material hazardous characteristics.

In addition, the situation will be assessed to determine whether evacuation is required.


If necessary, traffic will also be re-routed.
CEEC Page 199 of 235
ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

Once these factors have been determined, the proper levels of response will be
determined. In any case, after stopping the release of material to the environment,
containment shall likely be the next step of response process.

III. SPILL RESPONSE EQUIPMENT:


As rapid containment of any spill is desirable, the equipment supplied must be of a
practical design that will adequately respond to the type of substance spilled.

Spill response equipment (spill kits) will be located at the workshop areas, oil/chemicals
storage areas and in all the site areas in which the potential to spill exist. They will be
made available and kept in good order to be used effectively.

There will be enough equipment made available at each site where a potential spill may
occur. A basic spill kits include absorbent materials (e.g., sand), shovels, and empty
barrels/bags for collecting contaminated soil, drip pans and trays. Or other further
equipment, as:
 absorbent pillows
 socks to stop or redirect flow of the spilled material
 sheets for small spill
 basic sorbents.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be provided for the Response Team appointed
in site, e.g.:
 Chemical Handling Gloves
 Chemical Resistant Boots
 Eye Protection (i.e., safety glasses)
 Coveralls
 Respiratory Protection
 Breathing Apparatus (as needed).

Water Supply Protection

Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

All chemicals and lubricants will be handled and stored properly to avoid free leakage in
the soil that may contaminate water bearing ground subsurface.

45.2. Prevention and Response to Spills and Accidental Discharges

The most common environmental emergency in construction site is the oil and chemical
spill, which is a potential cause for soil contamination, groundwater, and water
pollution. Spills of hazardous materials may include:
 Gasoline
 Diesel
 Adhesives
 Hydraulic oil
 Lubricating oil and grease
 Cleaning solvents
 Paint and paint thinners
 Concrete from release agents

The ERP must be prepared to cover all potential risks of accidents or spills and will be
made known and available to all workers within the construction site. Key personnel
will know and understand their responsibilities as well as coordinate their response
actions with their subordinates.

Everyone will be introduced to their Line Supervisor and Environment Coordinator


during the induction training. Emergency services shall be notified as necessary by the
Supervisor or Environment Coordinator.

A variety of equipment and personal protective equipment may be needed to support a


chemical or oil spill incident response. A list of equipment is detailed below:
 Sand
 Sandbags
 Buckets and shovels
 Storage containers

CEEC Page 201 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

 Spill kit

Sand stocks will be dry and buckets and shovels readily available. Mechanical loading
shovels, excavators and dump trucks may also be available for sand distribution and
clean up. Storage containers for contaminated materials and earth will be in place,
located in the waste storage area, labeled, and treated as hazardous waste. These
materials are to be used to contain and clean up pollution/spills, proper care will be
taken to dispose of any absorbent materials properly. The Supervisor and Environment
Coordinator will keep stocks well maintained and replenished.
In the event of a chemical or oil spill, the following measures will be taken:
 Notify Supervisor or Environment Coordinator
 Only attempt containment and clean-up operations of spilt substances when it
can be performed safely
 If spilled material is flammable, eliminate sources of ignition near spill area
 Evacuate personnel and neighbors if they are at risk
 Secure the area and establish perimeter control at a safe distance from the spill.

1) Oil Spill Response


Remedial action to collect and remove all materials contaminated by the oil spillage
or leakage event is to be taken immediately. The following actions are required:
 Any oil remaining on the ground is to be collected using oil spill kit. The spill is to
be surrounded by the kit and then the area of the spill is to be slowly reduced by
enclosing the absorbent. The absorbent pads will be used to absorb the oil. Once
all of the oil on the ground surface has been collected, the absorbent agents
themselves are to be appropriately stored and disposed.

 All contaminated materials are to be handled as hazardous waste. The


contaminated material shall be collected and appropriately stored. A hazardous
waste vendor will collect this Contaminated material will be stored in plastic
barrels with tightly closing lids. These barrels are to be stored in a concrete lined
bund if available. In absence of such a bund at the site, a double plastic lined
bund will be used. Barrels will be placed on plastic or wooden pallets in the
temporary double plastic lined bund and not directly on the plastic.

 All contaminated materials that cannot be collected and disposed are to be


cleaned in-situ. This cleaning is to be undertaken by an approved service
provider.

2) Chemical Spill Response


CEEC Page 202 of 235
ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

 The following actions are to be taken in case of a chemical spill.

 Only attempt containment and clean-up operations of spilt substances when it


can be performed safely

 If spilled material is flammable, eliminate sources of ignition near spill area

 Liquid spills – If the spill is liquid, its path will be blocked or diverted and then
soaked up using an absorbent material such as sand

 Gaseous spills/leaks – A gaseous leak must be stopped at the source as soon as


possible and will then disperse in the air

 No spills will be rinsed away

 Contaminated soils and clean-up materials from spills will be handled properly
using personal protective equipment, stored in a suitable container that is
labeled and stored in the appropriate location for subsequent disposal

 Any stockpiles of remnant contaminated materials will be covered

 Contaminated materials will be stored in plastic barrels with tightly closing lids.
These barrels are to be stored in a concrete lined bund if available. In absence of
such a bund at the site, a double plastic lined bund will be used

 Barrels will be placed on plastic or wooden pallets in the temporary double


plastic lined bund and not directly on the plastic.

Other measures to prevent spill


 The container should have identification and designated storage area.
 The opening of the container should be tightened and placed correctly.
 The container should be moved safely and reasonably during use.

46. WASTE MANAGEMENT


Waste Management Program provides direction and guidance for proper collection,
handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of wastes for the Offices, Lay-down Yard &
Project Sites and Camp Facilities.

This program will assist company operations in planning waste management strategies
and in compliance with Kingdom rules and regulations and contractual requirements.

This program will adhere strictly to the Company’s residential facilities, Site Offices, lay
down yard and project sites in complying with the requirements of client.

46.1. Waste Management Hierarchy

EPC Contractor shall follow following Waste Management Hierarchy on site:

Prevention

Reduction

Disposal

1. Prevention

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

CEEC Page 204 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

2. Reduction
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.

46.2. 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

47. POLLUTION CONTIGENCY PLAN

The Contingency Pollution Plan gives details with respect to any quantities of pollutants
and/or contaminants that could be discharged or escape during works. Also, establish
an awareness and plan of action in connection with spills, discharge or escape of
pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous materials at all CEEC assigned work areas. It is
the responsibility of all personnel to promptly report any spill and/or release of
hazardous material in their work area or in the immediate vicinity. This verbal report
shall be made by personal visit to client control room and by telephone to the following
personnel:

 Project Manager/ Site Manager/EHS Supervisor/Officer– CEEC

 Project Manager/ Site Manager/ EHS Manager – ACWA POWER

 Local civil defense authorities

Information given shall be concise indicating:

 Date/time the leak was perceived.

 Exact location.

 Type of material or substance released and whether it is


hazardous.

 What initial actions or measures were taken

Subsequently, a written report describing the details of incident and all related
circumstances shall be prepared by the EHS Officer/ Supervisor and countered signed
by the Project Manager. A copy of the report shall be submitted to client/ consultant not
later than 24 hours from the time the incident was detected.

If the release and/or spill are minor, the incident shall be documented and recorded
including the reasons. The report shall indicate: Date/time of occurrence, substance
released, estimated quantity, exact locations and the methods of disposal and/ or clean-

CEEC Page 214 of 235

up initiated on the affected area. The report shall also indicate the preventive measure/
steps to be taken to prevent such re- occurrences.

In case of major spills and/ or releases, particularly one which involves hydrocarbon,
the main focus shall be on the safety of all personnel in the affected area and vicinity. In
emergency situations, all equipment shall be shut down and the area is evacuated as fast
as possible. A written report shall be prepared and submitted per above.

47.1. Air Pollution Control

Air pollution involves release into the atmosphere of gases, finely divided solids, or
finely dispersed liquid aerosols at rates that exceed the capacity of the atmosphere to
dissipate them or to dispose them thru the incorporation into solid or liquid layers of
the biosphere. Air pollution results from a variety of causes, not all of which are within
human control. Dust storms in desert areas are natural phenomena to which aerial
transport can carry pollutants from one place to another. Air pollution may affect
humans directly, causing a smarting of the eyes or coughing.
Main emissions sources during site activities include:

 Dust emissions: dust generation from activities including excavation,


earthworks, vehicle movements and wind passing over ground and dusty
materials.

 Welding emissions.
 Emissions from vehicles: engine exhausts emissions from construction
vehicles and equipment.
 Emission from Painting activities.
 Emission from generators

i. Dust emissions
One of the major impacts related to the construction activities include air emissions
resulting from dust generation. Generation of dust may impact on public health,
valuable environmental habitats and, secondarily, on visual amenity.

The main activities that may generate dust are the following:
o Excavating, pneumatic rock breaking.
o Earthmoving activities from cranes, excavators, bulldozers.
o Handling and localized stockpiling of soil.
CEEC Page 215 of 235
ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

o Delivery of bedding and fill material to site.


o Levelling and rehabilitation of disturbed surfaces.
o Vehicles driving on unsealed roads and unconsolidated soil surfaces.
o Vehicle movement from vehicles used to transport labor workforce and
materials.
o Grit-blasting activities, performed on the various aboveground pipes to smooth,
shape and clean the surfaces prior to the pipes coating and painting using
abrasive substances and air activities

ii. Welding Emissions


Other emissions generated during the construction phase are fugitive emissions
from welding equipment. Particulate matter and hazardous air pollutants are the
major concerns in welding processes, but only the electric arc welding generates
these pollutants in considerable amounts (US Environmental Protection Agency,
1995) because of the high temperature at which the welding process is carried out.
Electrodes are converted into fumes producing iron, manganese, carbon monoxide
and nitrogen oxides.

Small scale welding processes have insignificant environmental impacts. However,


impacts of larger scale welding results in atmospheric pollution with metals, vapors,
and gases.

Radiation pollution is also expected from radiant energy such as heat and light.
Ground pollution is expected due to the generation of slag and residual materials. In
addition, impacts of welding are mainly related to health effects caused by exposure
to welding fumes and gases which are minimized by the correct use of PPE than to
effects on environment.

iii. Emissions from Vehicles


Principal contributing activities include:
 Emission form transportation associated with the release of exhaust
emissions from vehicles used to transport labor workforce and materials.
 Emission from construction equipment, associated with the release of
exhaust emissions from cranes, excavators, bulldozers, electrical generators
and other plant and equipment during construction.

CEEC Page 216 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

Atmospheric emissions from these activities include carbon dioxide (CO2), oxides of
nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Sulphur
dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (dust).

The construction machinery would involve the use of diesel-fueled mobile


equipment and generators, which may generate emissions and odors. Construction
machinery will be operated outdoors and would often be moving, therefore
increasing dispersion, and preventing high concentrations of emissions occurring.

Fugitive emissions from vehicles on the site are dependent on the following factors:
▪ Type of fuel
▪ Type of road
▪ Type and number of Vehicles.

This has a minor and temporary impact on local air quality.

Mitigation Measures
The impact assessed as medium.

Overall, since the construction phase of the project is temporary, vehicular dust
generation and exhaust emissions are unlikely to cause permanent deterioration in
ambient air quality levels in the project or surrounding areas.
The below mitigation and control measures to control or reduce vehicular emissions
and the dust (civil works and vehicular) at the site will ensure to minimize adverse
impact on air quality.
 All construction machinery and administrative vehicles shall be regularly
serviced and checked to guarantee good operation conditions.
 Vehicles shall be subject to appropriate routine maintenance programs.
 Vehicles engine should be shutoff in case of long pauses in site activities.
 Workers/material transport activities will be planned to rationalize direct and
indirect traffic.
 Ensure an adequate water supply on the site for effective dust/particulate
matter suppression/mitigation, using non-potable water where possible.
 Excavation and Backfill activities shall be conducted in accordance with relevant
standards

 Excavated areas must be compacted and contoured to minimize fugitive dust


emissions. Height of temporary stockpiles must be limited and aligned parallel
to the prevailing wind direction. Minimize drop height for material discharge.
 Ensure dust/ sand on roads leading to the sites is periodically and adequately
cleared.
 All truck exhaust filters shall be periodically checked and replaced in case
needed. This practice will assure the emission control for engine exhaust.
 Bulk storage of excavated material should, to the extent possible, be avoided.
 Tracks and roads should be watered regularly to minimize air borne dust. Water
is an effective dust suppressant and is recommended to be used or controlling
fugitive dust emissions from stockpiles, dirt roads and around excavated areas
 During transportation avoid overloading of trucks with sand, gravel and
aggregate and ensure sufficient free board. Trucks traveling to and from the
project site with these materials must be covered with tarpaulin to minimize
dust.

Generator Emissions
The primary pollutants from internal combustion engines are NOx, hydrocarbons, and
other organic compounds (HC), CO, and particulates, which include both visible
(smoke) and nonvisible emissions. Nitrogen oxide formation is directly related to high
pressures and temperatures during the combustion process and to the nitrogen
content of the fuel. The other pollutants, HC, CO, and smoke are primarily the result of
incomplete combustion. Ash and metallic additives in the fuel also contribute to the
particulate content of the exhaust. Oxides of sulfur also appear in the exhaust from IC
engines.

The Sulphur compounds, mainly Sulphur dioxide (SO2), are directly related to the
sulfur content of the fuel.

To keep emission of generators within regulatory limits, periodic generator


maintenance shall be performed that includes, changing of engine oil and filter,
cleaning of air filter, engine tuning, Periodic emission analysis. In case of any
abnormality generator will be replaced.

47.2. Noise Pollution Control.

Another pollution that may affect this project is Noise. The intensity of sound is
measured in logarithmic units known as decibels. Jackhammers, rotating machines,

CEEC Page 218 of 235


ASB 1&2-CEEC-HM-MAN-001
Rev:00

Date:24/08/2022

blowers continuously running exceed 80 decibels can cause permanent loss of


hearing. In addition to causing loss of hearing, there is some evidence that noise can
produce other deleterious effects on human health and on work performance.

Mitigation Measures:
Nevertheless, in order to minimize noise and on site for both environmental and
health and safety reasons, CEEC will implement a series of control and mitigation
measures listed below:
 Respect the speed limit at site, which reducing therefore both noise and dust.
 Use only well-maintained vehicles.
 In-site roads will be maintained flat and cleaned from sand, in order to reduce
both noise and dust.
 Avoid unnecessary engine operations and use only necessary vehicles.
 Limit, where possible, simultaneous noisy operations.
 High noise construction activities and areas should be identified and all
personnel (employees, contractors, subcontractors, and visitors) passing
through or performing work in these areas must be provided with appropriate
hearing protection devices such as ear plugs or earmuffs.
 High noise activities should be carried out during daylight hours only avoiding
prayers times and public holidays.

Such measures will allow also guaranteeing the compliance with the national noise
emission limits at site boundary.

47.3. Impact on Flora and Fauna

The main impact on flora and fauna during construction activities may derive from the
physical presence and therefore the loss of habitat. Flora/fauna disturbance may also
arise, indirectly, from all those site activities that produce noise and atmospheric
emissions and/or dust generation. In this way, all mitigation measures for reducing
noise, pollutant emissions and dust generation will act also as measures for reducing
impacts on flora and fauna.

It is recommended that any waste material on site be secured and stored in covered
containers to prevent exposure to potential pathogen carriers such as birds and insects.

Following the methodology, the impact has been assessed to be medium.

48. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING


In the following table are reported the recommended environmental monitoring
program related to the environmental aspects.

Aspect Monitoring Requirements

Air Quality Daily visual inspection of the site for dust generation
severity and application of suppressants, as required

Wastewater Treated sanitary wastewater will be sampled and analyzed


in order to verify the respect of the GAMEP’s Wastewater
Discharges Standard.

Noise Monthly site audit to confirm CEEC/sub-contractor and site


personnel compliance to noise mitigation requirements and
adherence to PPE requirements

Waste Management Monthly site audit to confirm the adherence of the site to
the Waste Management Plan requirements. All hazardous
waste must be manifested.

CEEC shall ensure that the below parameters will be monitored by third party as per
