control is felt to be appropriate.
Work not requiring a PTW (routine work) will still require a method statement and JSA, and will require a daily pre-
work START meeting involving all those engaged in work. The START meeting will be conducted by the NEX
Supervisor, foreman in charge of the work in order to communicate the work scope, work hazards and required
precautions / safe work method to be followed.
17.2 Application Procedure for Permit to Work System
Application of the required Hot Work Permits will depend on the location and the coverage of clients permit to work
system.
17.3 Application of PTW system within contractor/employer controlled areas
The Contractor PTW System shall only be used in the Contractor Controlled Area as long as there is a physical
barrier between the contractor area and the employer area.
All work executed by NEX within any EMPLOYER controlled area will require an EMPLOYER/CONTRACTOR issued
Operation Permits. Permits shall be submitted for approval as per the CONTRACTOR/EMPLOYER PTW system as
described in the CONTRACTOR PTW System procedure (S-000-1654-0200V). All permits shall be submitted through
the Zone PTW Coordinator. The PTW Coordinator will be responsible for verifying the permit is completed to the
required extent prior to submission.
18 Hazard & Risk Management
Page 46 of 81
The objectives are to identify the hazards created at work and evaluate the risks associated with these hazards, to
determine what measures they should take to protect the health and safety of employees and other workers, having
due regard to legislative requirements;
18.1 Definition
A HAZARD is something with the potential to cause harm. This can include articles, substances, plant or machines,
methods of work, the working environment and other aspects of work.
A RISK is the likelihood of potential harm from that hazard being realized. The extent of the risk will depend on:
 the likelihood of that harm occurring;
 the potential severity of that harm, i.e. of any resultant injury or adverse health effect; and
 the population which might be affected by the hazard, i.e. the number of people who might be exposed.
18.2 Hierarchy of Control
Hierarchy of Control is the order in which a workplace risk should be tackled in order to eliminate/reduce the risk.
They can be used individual or in combination with each other to try and reduce the risk to as low as reasonably
practicable.
Elimination/Substitution
The first priority for control of any significant risk to health is to try to eliminate completely the agent responsible to
avoid exposing employees to the risk first, before any other control measures are considered.
Isolation/Segregation
The aim here is to isolate the hazard physically to ensure that no person is exposed to risk. Total enclosure or
containment is the best form of risk control since no one can then be exposed to the hazard.
Engineering Controls
Page 47 of 81
These involve designing safety into plant and equipment through the construction of machines, vehicles, containers,
etc. with particular features, as well as adding particular safety equipment to processes in order to remove or reduce
risks.
Administration
A safe system of work is a formal procedure designed to eliminate or control hazards. This will include the physical
layout of the job, the sequence of operations, the provision of tools and equipment and communication of relevant
notices, warnings and special instructions.
It is a planned procedure to prevent harm from occurring and would normally consist of a Method Statement and
Risk Assessment and would sometimes include a Permit to Work.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Despite the control measures outlined, it may still not be possible to reduce exposure to a risk. Under such
circumstances it becomes necessary to consider protecting the individual rather than the working environment. Many
different types of personal protective equipment are available and selecting the correct one is important.
18.3 Roles & Responsibilities

Site Management
 To ensure that a system for carrying out work method statements and risk assessments is in place and
is being applied as part of the hazard control and analysis strategy.
 To review the effectiveness of the system to ensure that a safe system of work is in place.
Supervisors and Superintendents
 To ensure that the requirements of this procedure are known and understood by all employees on site.
 To review and comment on all method statements and risk assessments as applied to critical tasks and
activities such as heavy lifts, complex rigging studies, unusual tasks and other events as necessary.
 To assist in developing work method statements and risk assessments.
 To liaise with other discipline/task supervision to ensure that conflicts of interest are accommodated.
Page 48 of 81
 To ensure that the requirements identified during the development of the method statement and Risk
assessment are adequate in terms of detail and are being effectively communicated to all personnel
involved with the task.
HSSE&S Manager and the HSSE&S Department.
 To assist Management in ensuring that the requirements outlined in this procedure are understood and
are being implemented.
 To provide technical input into the formulation of the method statements and risk assessments and
review prior to its distribution.
 To audit the task against the requirements specified to ensure compliance.
 To carry out reviews of risk assessments on a regular basis.
18.4 Risk Assessment Process
Identify the Hazards
The hazards to be identified are those associated with machinery, equipment, tools, procedures, tasks, processes
and the physical aspects of the plant and premises which are being assessed.
The hazards identified should be those which can result in significant harm.
Identify those who may be harmed
The person who may be harmed by the hazard includes employees, other workers in the workplace and members of the
public. The following workers might be particularly at risk, young or inexperienced workers, night workers, those who
work alone and disabled staff.
Evaluate the risks from identified hazards
The risks from the identified hazards need to be evaluated i.e. review the likelihood that harm will occur and its severity,
and assess whether existing precautions are adequate or whether more precautions are needed.
If for each hazard listed the precautions taken:
Page 49 of 81
 meet the required standards set by a legal requirement
 comply with a recognized industry standard
 represent good practice
Reduce risk as far as reasonably practicable and the company has provided adequate information, instruction or
training and adequate systems or procedures; then the risks can be described as adequately controlled, and the
precautions existing need to be noted.
Where the risks from the identified hazards are not adequately controlled, then further actions need to be taken. The
‘Hierarchy of Risk Control’ can be used to aid in the process.
Record the Findings
The significant findings should include a record of the preventative and protective measures in place to control the risks
and what further action, if any, needs to be taken to reduce risk sufficiently.
Review and Revision
Risk assessments need to be reviewed and if necessary modified on a regular basis. The time of the reviews is
dependent on the nature of the risks and the degree of change likely in the work activity.
Risk assessments must be reviewed if there is any change in equipment, substance or procedures that may
introduce significant new hazards. Factors that would require an automatic review include:
 A change in legislation.
 A change in control measures.
 Any significant change in work practices and processes.
 Installation of new machinery and equipment.
 New information becomes available on the hazards or risks.
 Recurrent accidents or patterns of ill-health.

19 Road Safety
19.1 Project Roads.
The speed limit for the project is to be limited to a maximum of 30 Km/hr or less depending on the situation at the
site. Roads which have conditions where potentially hazardous work is being undertaken (e.g., culverts, where
personnel are close to the access road), shall have a speed restriction of 20 Km/hr (12 mph), and signs will be
placed at both ends of the specific work area.
Where maintenance crews are working close to traffic, additional precautions will be taken to keep visibility and
early warning at a maximum. These may include local watering of dust generating areas, wearing of high visibility
vests and posting of additional traffic controllers at the extremities of the work environment.
Spotters and other people working near heavy equipment are required to wear high visibility vests or clothing and
utilize the correct signage at all times.
19.2 Traffic Controller
The primary function of a traffic controller is to guide the flow of traffic (low loaders, trucks, transporters,
automobiles, etc.) safely and expeditiously through or around work areas or where traffic lanes are intermittently
blocked or not clearly defined.
Traffic Controllers are used to control traffic flow through work areas at decreased speeds to reduce the hazards to
personnel working in the area. The traffic controller must be clearly visible from a distance to permit appropriate
response to instructions by a vehicle operator.
19.3 Hand Signalling Devices
Hand signaling devices (Colored-flags) shall be used in controlling traffic through work areas. Flags used for
signaling purposes shall be made of a good grade of fluorescent material, and securely fastened to a staff. Yellow
flashing lights must be used during periods of darkness.
19.4 Training
Traffic Controllers should be given instruction and training by their Supervisor to develop a clear understanding of
their duties and responsibilities.
The basic minimum training given should include:
Page 51 of 81
 communications;
 attitude;
 safety equipment;
 tools;
 hand signals
 location or positioning;
 action(s) for directing traffic; and
 Emergency procedures.
Project/Site Management and or Section Heads must approve and verify that appropriate training has been
conducted for each Traffic Controller prior to their being assigned on public roads.
19.5 Traffic Controller Location
It is important for the traffic controller to remain in full view of all vehicles and to avoid standing in congested areas.
Under no circumstances should the traffic controller stand in the lane being used for moving traffic. They should
stand adjacent to lanes where equipment is traveling.
19.6 Procedures
The following methods of signaling shall be used:

 To stop traffic, the traffic controller shall face approaching traffic and extend the flag horizontally across the
traffic lane in a stationary position so that the full area of the flag hanging below the staff is visible. The free
arm may be raised with the palm turned toward approaching traffic.
 When it is safe for the vehicle operator to proceed, the traffic controller shall turn parallel to the traffic
movement. When the flag is used, drop the arm with the flag to lower it from the view of the vehicle
operator and motion traffic ahead with the free arm. The orange flag shall never be used to signal traffic to
proceed.
 To slow traffic with the flag, the traffic controller shall give the stop signal and then change to the signal to
proceed before the vehicle comes to a stop.
Page 52 of 81
19.7 Escort Vehicles
Escort vehicle when provided should be used in front of and when necessary, behind the vehicle or equipment being
escorted.
Other vehicles may be used as required to assist in the escort process.

Page 75 of 81
23.2 Heat Stroke
 Heat stroke is an acute and dangerous reaction to heat stress caused by a failure of the heat regulating
mechanisms of the body, e.g. a breakdown of the employee's temperature control system that causes
sweating. Body temperature rises so high that brain damage and death will result if the person is not
cooled quickly.
 Symptoms.
Red, hot, dry skin, although the person may have been sweating earlier; nausea; dizziness; confusion;
extremely high blood pressure, rapid respiratory and pulse rate; unconsciousness or coma.
 Actions.
Casualty must be cooled down and Medical aid sought immediately with the person transported to the site
medical facilities, Soak clothing and skin with cool water, use a fan to create air movement etc.
 Prevention.
Acclimatization, Close monitoring of workers, medical screening and instructing to drink plentiful water.
23.3 Heat Exhaustion
 Heat exhaustion is a state of very definite weakness or exhaustion caused by the loss of fluids from the
body. This condition is much less dangerous than heat stroke, but must be treated early on to prevent
eventual deterioration to heat stroke.
 Symptoms. Pale, clammy, moist skin, profuse perspiration and extreme weakness. Body temperature is
normal, pulse is weak and rapid, and breathing is shallow. The person may have a headache, may vomit,
and may be dizzy.
 Actions. Casualty must be moved to cool place for rest and drink fluids/water.
 Prevention. Acclimatization, Close monitoring of workers, and instructing to drink plentiful water to prevent
dehydration.
23.4 Heat Cramps
 Heat cramps are caused by perspiration that is not balanced by adequate fluid intake. Loss of salts, Heat
cramps are often the first sign of a condition that can lead to heat stroke.
 Symptoms.
Acute painful spasms of voluntary muscles; e.g., abdomen and extremities.
 Actions.
Casualty must take rest, drink plenty of water and eat more salty foods.
Page 76 of 81
 Prevention
Casualty must drink adequate water, adequate salt intake at meals but do not use salt tablets.
23.5 Heat Rash
 Heat rash is caused by continuous exposure to heat and humid air and aggravated by chafing clothes. The
condition decreases ability to tolerate heat.
 Symptoms.
Mild red rash, especially in areas of the body in contact with protective gear.
 Actions.
Casualty must be moved to cool place and keep skin clean and dry.
 Prevention
Casualty must Shower after working in hot environments and keep skin dry.
23.6 Heat Fatigue
 Heat fatigue is caused by continuous exposure to heat, Discomfort and stress from the heat, less than
what would result in other heat illnesses.
 Symptoms.
Decline in performance, particularly in skilled physical work, mental tasks and those requiring concentration.
 Actions.
Casualty must be medically treated.
 Prevention
The employees or work force must be acclimatized and trained. Adequate cool drinking water to be provided
at working area.
24 Emergency Preparedness
