9. Safety Precautions
9.1. General Policy
It is the general policy of CHEC to provide all employees, subcontractors and any other

persons with reason to attend our working place the following:

 Safe access to and from the working place;

 A safe place to work;

 A safe system of work.

All CHEC staff involved in field work should constantly remind themselves of these

requirements and be aware that each of them has a role to play in bringing this about

by the correct mental approach. In particular, the following should be given careful
consideration:

 Maintain good housekeeping;

 Teamwork is essential; be aware of the activities of others;

 Adhere to safe working practices;

 Work in pairs whenever possible;

 Whilst working be aware of where your colleagues are working;

 Plan and practice your escape routes and emergency procedures regularly;
9.2. Induction

Personnel on site shall undergo an initial site HSE induction from Contractor. Before

entry to the working areas are gained, this shall be site specific and details the hazards

most likely present within the site, the emergency procedures, and site-specific

restrictions.
9.3. Personal Protective Equipment

Appropriate PPE shall always be worn by personnel when on site and involved in

survey operations. This will include, but not be limited to, coveralls, safety helmet,

safety boots, and gloves if handling wire or equipment. Other items of PPE shall be

worn as applicable.
9.4. Environment Protection

 During surface clearance CHEC shall dispose vegetation and relevant rubbish to

proper locations.

 Upon slurry incurred during foundation excavation works, if not suitable for

backfilling CHEC shall dispose to proper locations.

 During concrete casting CHEC shall strictly control the remaining concrete

treatment and dump it into proper locations.

 CHEC shall checkup all machinery equipment on a daily basis to avoid oil

contamination.

 Other requirements shall be referred to the Safety file.
