 HSES Management Planning
• Health, Safety, Environmental & Security Management Plan
aims to control the implementation of the safety policies,
procedures and approaches to achieve safe project execution.
 Benefits Of Implementing HSES Management
Planning
• Reducing the number of injuries to personnel and operatives in
the workplace through the prevention and control of workplace
hazards;

• Minimizing the risk of major accidents;

• Controlling workplace risks improve employee morale and

enhance productivity;

• Minimizing production interruptions and reducing material and

equipment damage;
 Benefits Of Implementing HSES Management
Planning
• Reducing the cost of insurance as well as the cost of employee
absences;

• Minimizing legal costs of accident litigation, fines, reducing

expenditures on emergency supplies;

• Reducing accident investigation time, supervisors’ time

diverted, clerical efforts, and the loss of expertise and
experiences
 Define Safety, health, and environment policy and
requirements
• The implementation of safety, health, and environmental
management systems is equally important as any other business
functions of site operations.
• Commitment to comply with safety, health, and environmental
protection legislation and all contractual requirements as an
absolute minimum goal.
• A safety target is set in terms of incident rate to reflect the
safety performance of the construction project.
• A safety and environmental action committee ensures that the
policy, management system, objective, and targets are
understood, implemented, and reviewed regularly.
 Define Safety, health, and environment policy and
requirements
• The safety policy raises the awareness of safety and health and
provides information and instruction to employees on relevant
legislation and good work practices.
• The safety policy ensures training for all new employees and
the safety officer has to explain the policy to all workers before
they start work.
• Toolbox meeting feedback can be used to include worker’s
opinions for any policy update.
• Relevant safety revisions are brought to the attention of all
employees, in particular to the workers through toolbox talk
meetings.
 Assign the Safety organization roles, responsibilities
and authorities
• Display site organization charts on the notice boards indicating
the responsible safety advisor for every section of the project as
part of the site safety plan for the project.

• Each safety advisor and safety supervisor is to be assigned his

or her responsibility clearly through memo and orientation
training.

• The management should get feedback on safety matters from

workers through their involvement and toolbox meetings.
 Assign the Safety organization roles, responsibilities
and authorities
• Records of toolbox meetings must be maintained to record the
supervisors and safety advisors involvement with operatives
and to record the time and location of the meeting.

• The subcontractors should prepare the site-specific safety plans

for each of their construction activities
 Safety, health, and environment planning
• Identifying hazards, risk assessments and risk control.

• Legal and other requirements

• Objectives and targets

• Safety, health, and environment management program

 Safety, health, and environment planning
• Identifying hazards, risk assessments and risk control:

• Identifying of hazards and evaluation of associated risks are

necessary requirements for establishing health and safety
objectives and targets, and for setting priorities to control the
identified risks to employees and others on an ongoing basis
 Safety, health, and environment planning
• Legal and other requirements:

• Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1

• O.Reg 854 - Mines and Mining Plants
• Hazardous Product Act and WHMIS 2015 Regulation
• O.Reg. 860 – Workplace Hazardous Materials Information
Systems (WHMIS)
• Workers’ Compensation Act, R.S.O 1990, c. W.11
• Transportation Of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992
 Safety, health, and environment planning
• Objectives and targets
The action plan for achieving objectives and targets includes:
• Identifying the planned action;
• Designating responsibility for achieving objectives and
targets;
• Determining timeframe within which the objectives and
targets are to be achieved;
• Verifying completion.
 Safety, health, and environment planning
• Safety, health, and environment management program:

• Employee involvement is essential. Employees are required to

practice good housekeeping, participate in training, report hazards and
injuries, use personal protective equipment, and practice safe work
habits.

• Management is responsible and accountable for preventing injuries.

Leadership is all about people, and safety, at its essence, is respect
through action for the well-being of people.
 Safety, health, and environment planning
• Safety, health, and environment management program:

• Working safely is a condition of employment. Each employee is held

accountable for using sound judgment to prevent injuries.

• All operating exposures can be controlled and continually analyze the

process and procedures to maximize efficiency and reduce safety risks.

• An acceptable Safety, health, and environment program is achieved when

incidents and injuries are treated as intolerable, responsibilities and
expectations are clearly defined, communication is open, and the
organization is employee-centered.
 Implementation and operation
• Training, awareness, and competence .
• Consultation and communication.
• Safety, health, and environment documentation and document control .
• Operational control.
• Emergency preparedness and response.
 Implementation and operation
• Training, awareness, and competence:

• Employees from both the firm and subcontractors are provided safety,
health, and environmental training.

• Provide training and orientation courses to all workers working on-site in

addition to the compulsory Green Card Training.

• Pursue a 1 day mandatory safety training course organized by training

providers approved by the Labor Department or the Construction
Industry Training Authority and those who pass the test given at the end
are awarded a “Green Card” as a certificate.
 Implementation and operation
• Training, awareness, and competence:

• Workers are provided toolbox training on how safety is applicable to their

particular scope of work.

• Training courses need to be updated from time to time to suit the site work.

• Minimum training goal that every employee in a supervisory role be trained in

first aid.

• Safety training, the material being taught needs to be relevant be hazard and
harm specific, and emphasize an attitude of change to improve safety
performance.
 Implementation and operation
• Consultation and communication:

• During the construction phase of the project, the contractor will

be required to implement a Safety, health, and environment
communication plan that satisfies the Safety, health, and
environment management system communication standards.
 Implementation and operation
• Safety, health, and environment documentation and document
control:

• During the construction phase of the project, the contractor will

be required to implement a reporting and documentation system
that satisfies Safety, health, and environment management
system documentation and reporting standards.
 Implementation and operation
• Operational control:
Regularly review:

• Legal and regulatory requirements;

• Occupations, facilities, and activities where the level of risk is

such that further control measures are needed;

• Environmental aspect evaluations where the significance is such

that further control measures are needed.
 Implementation and operation
• Emergency preparedness and response:

• Identify the potential for and responses to accidents, incidents,

and emergency situations, and to prevent and mitigate the likely
