1. INTRODUCTION This HSE Plan is the plan for the CLEVELAND CLINIC (CCAD) construction project applicable to all work areas that forms part of the project and is based on the applicable laws of the UAE and more specifically, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. All subcontractors shall comply with this plan. They will not operate separate plans and they shall provide their own safety personnel who meet the competency requirements set out below. This plan covers the requirements of the accident prevention rules and safety program to be applied to the activities of SISJV that will be performed for the CCAD construction project Company. The primary purpose of this plan is to provide a guideline for preventing any accidents which may injure Employees or damage properties at the construction site. SISJV and his subcontractors shall abide by all safety rules and other regulations imposed at the site by the Laws of the country and the provisions of applicable laws, rules and regulations, including rules and procedures from the client (ALDAR) and the consultant (JACOBS).

Scope

The purpose of this HSE Plan is to describe the Health & Safety provisions that will be employed in the Construction of the Works as per the Contract requirements and those required by the Authorities. The HSE Plan represents the plan for conducting safe work, preserving personnel, property, and equipment. The ultimate goal is to eliminate at the very source all danger to the health, safety and physical integrity of anyone. Each employee on the Project is responsible for his own health & safety and for the people around him. It is therefore of paramount importance that each employee on this project fully understands all project HSE rules and standards; and those HSE rules and standards specifically concerned with the work they perform.


Page 7


This HSE Plan is intended to be complimentary to the general code of practice and to the existing statutory regulations of Local Authorities, inclusive Labour Legislation with regard to medical, first aid, safety, and training requirements. SISJV is responsible for managing and coordinating all activities of construction, subcontractors, suppliers, and any contractor working in the same area.

All sub-contractors shall adhere to this HSE Plan and propose their HSE Officer or so acting for approval prior to commencement of the work on Site. This HSE Plan will be adapted and complemented from time to time by the HSE Manager or his deputy as and when required (i.e.: Change of Scope of Works – detected dangers not known at the time when this plan was prepared). This HSE Plan shall also apply to subcontractors. This HSE plan covers all activities of SISJV as well located on Sowaah Island as on the Yas Island area. Every 3 months this plan will be evaluated in coordination with the consultant HSE manager and reviewed as needed.

1.4

Objective

The objective of this HSE Plan is to ensure that all construction activities relating to the CCAD project are carried out in accordance with the relevant legislative and contractual requirements and that no injury to personnel or damage to property is caused. Therefore, the SISJV will ensure that all persons on the project are aware of their HSE responsibilities. Short term program may be set on a monthly basis in order to achieve needed safety outcomes, based on trend analysis, incidents or other requirements. See in appendix B a sample of HSE monthly program. Each individual on the jobsite must do his best to ensure that all sources of danger are reduced to manageable levels, not only to protect his own life, health and material possessions, but, as importantly, to prevent harm from occurring to colleagues. Every person has a right to have his life and health respected and his property protected.

1.5

HSE Planning

In order to ensure all hazards and risks are adequately addressed during the construction phase, HSE planning within SISJV is a pro-active process consisting of four phases: Engineering, Administration, Performance Monitoring and Improvement as part o f the safety management process. The four-phase HSE planning forms a continual loop following administration so that the system is continually improved by incorporating lessons learnt, new techniques and any revisions to the scope of work. HSE planning is a continual process with inputs from policy, regulations, and objectives, scope of work, method statements, HSE inspections, audit results and feedback from performance measurement that will be used to improve the plan. HSE planning inputs are analyzed by process owners and the HSE Manager is to prepare safety and environmental improvement methods for incorporation into operational procedures.

1.5.1

Phase One: Engineering

Phase 1 is the phase where work place activities and their associated hazards are identified, assessed and classified. Priorities and objectives are assigned and an HSE plan is prepared. HSE planning inputs include information from workers, accident and incident records, local regulations, scope of work, existing building best practices, material specifications and recommendations for using materials and machines safely. HSE planning inputs are analyzed by process owners and the Safety Officer prepares HSE improvement methods for incorporation into operational procedures and method statements. Method statements will include safety work procedures for each operation. HSE planning outputs include risk classification registers, HSE plans/ programmes, safety checklists, permit-to-work procedures and job method statements


Page 10


1.5.2

Phase Two: Administration

Phase 2 is the phase of the HSE planning including communicating the results of phase one, explaining the plan to the work force and other interested parties and providing the resources needed to achieve the HSE objectives. Resources include the provision of:  HSE awareness training on safe working practices;  Site rules, applicable regulations and procedures;  Facilities for handling materials;  Safe plant and machinery;  Signage to warn people of potential hazards;  Personal Protective Equipment to cover residual risks;  Emergency mitigation facilities such as: Emergency and evacuation plans;  First Aid facilities and trained First Aid personnel;  Spill containment and clean up materials. 

1.5.3

Phase Three: Performance Measurement & Monitoring

Phase 2 is the phase of the HSE planning including communicating the results of phase one, explaining the plan to the work force and other interested parties and providing the resources needed to achieve the HSE objectives. Phase three is the phase where HSE performance data are obtained from the results of plan implementation. Data includes HSE inspections, audit results, HSE incidents or accidents, nonconformances and corrective actions taken, HSE violations and disciplinary actions taken. The performance data is analyzed and the resulting information is output to the phase four. The recognition should, on the other hand, be given to workers following the rules to reinforce good behaviour. An incentive procedure is available within t he IMS system and is to followed

1.5.4

Phase Four: Improvement

Phase four is the phase consisting of a management review where decisions are taken to implement recommended HSE improvement actions resulting from the information obtained from phase three. During management review, decisions will be made on priorities and resources needed to improve the effectiveness of the HSE management system. New work place activities are subjected to hazard identification and risk assessment; and the results are used to update the revised safety plan from phase 4 and the cycle is repeated from phase 1.

HSE Meetings

HSE meetings on a construction project are an essential tool in continued development of a mutual understanding of HSE objectives and program. They provide an environment in which individual commitment, effort, and ideas can be continuously correlated toward improvement in HSE programs and achievements. Records of Safety Meetings shall be filed; site HSE meetings will take place monthly.

3.4.1

Induction Meeting

Before starting working at site, any new employee will be informed about the HSE site rules in force. The induction meeting will be provided by the Project HSE Officer and be recorded on the Induction Training Record. This procedure is mandatory and applies to all construction activities. This is to be carried out prior to the start of any work activities. This procedure does not replace any statutory training requirements. Minimum site-specific sections of the induction: Site Management Organisation Structure Duties & Responsibilities Emergency Arrangements i.e. First Aid, Fire and Security etc. Health & Welfare Facilities Site Specific Health & Safety Procedures / Rules Access & Egress to the site including Traffic & Pedestrian Routes Permits to Work Accident / Incident Reporting Procedure Method Statements / Risk Assessments (for supervisors). Control of Substance Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Personal Protective Equipment Contract / Client requirements Emergency call out (for supervisors)

Notification of New Starters to Site The Project/Construction Managers shall make suitable arrangements for the purpose of notification of new starters either employees, or subcontractors. This will ensure that all new starters are aware of the requirement to attend an induction course at the start of their first day of work.

Delivery of Course A member of the HSE department shall deliver the induction course.

Levels of Induction HSE Induction This is the induction course that is mandatory for all persons working on CCAD, including subcontractors, consultants and client. Emergency induction and visitors HSE Brief All visitors shall be required to report to the main Security and sign in and shall be given a site-


Page 25


specific visitor brief which is valid for 48 hrs. The individual shall be escorted by a person from the team concerned for this visit who has completed the full site induction at all times when on site

Objectives On completion of the site H&S induction course participants should be aware of: General hazards relevant to a construction workplace Understand their HSE obligations Be aware of good site practices in HSE The importance of Incident / Accident Reporting The safety procedures used within CCAD The site specific HSE rules The CCAD Project Safety Disciplinary Procedure

Language / Reading / Writing Difficulties SISJV recognises that situations may arise where individuals have difficulties with language, reading or writing abilities and will make arrangements to identify any person/s who may require assistance and the necessary provisions implemented.

RECORDS Every person who attends induction must be issued with an identification sticker to appose on the helmet All records / documentation relating to these procedures shall be maintained at the site office and will be made available for auditing purpose at all times.

3.4.2

Toolbox Talk

Regular toolbox talks will be conducted for each crew (i.e. carpenters, welders, electricians, etc). The talk will be short, approximately 10 minutes at the start of each day. All unsafe conditions or unsafe work practices noted on the Project that may affect the workers will be brought to their attention. The proposed methods for eliminating these practices or co nditions will be discussed.

3.4.3

Toolbox meeting

Regular toolbox meetings will be conducted two times a week for the workforce. The meeting will be documented with specific topics according to the monthly safety program. Site staffs are to take part of weekly safety meeting where the toolbox meeting topic will be exposed as well as unsafe conditions or unsafe work practices noted on the Project that may affect the workers will be brought to their attention. The proposed methods for eliminating these practices or conditions will be discussed.


Page 26


Employees will be encouraged to make HSE suggestions at these meetings. When hazardous materials or conditions are about to be encountered or when crews appear to be careless about HSE matters, additional toolbox meeting will be scheduled.

3.4.4

HSE Consultation and communication methods

The effectiveness of the HSE plan requires open communication within the work forces. The Health & Safety Employee’s Representatives are consulted regularly. A prime purpose of the project HSE Plan will be to open communication channels for HSE dialogue between all parties concerned with HSES. The indoctrination [briefing] for all personnel will emphasize that two-way communication is essential for HSE success and will advise recipients how they may initiate such dialogue and their right to raise HSE issues for discussion with their supervisors. Site rules and safety noticed are to be placed on the notice boards for dissemination to the employees.

3.4.5

HSE Publicity and motivation

Since HSE success is of paramount importance among the project deliverables, it implies that HSE must remain in the forefront of each project participant’s attention. Dissemination of HSE information through an established publicity program generates interest among project personnel and provides a format for continuing circulation of HSE information, such information should be posted on site notice boards: 1. An advice method regarding modifications to the existing HSE program in addition to the established communication through HSE and supervisory staff. 2. Information regarding project execution activities from a HSE viewpoint. 3. Recognition of HSE accomplishments on the Project. 4. General HSE industry information that could serve to maintain and increase the HSE awareness and attention of the project’s work force.

3.4.6

Safety Motivation, Incentives, and Recognition

A Key motivation in HSE success is the development of continuing pride by all the work force, group or personnel, in the achieved target. The HSE Plan will include a program of recognition and awards to individuals and/or groups who have reached defined, significant HSE milestones or who have made outstanding contributions to the project HSE program. All individuals, groups, and firms in the project organisation will be eligible for participation in the program. Awards will be presented and celebrated at award congregations and the details of the achievements will be published on project notice boards. Participation at award congregations will also include, when appropriate, not only management staff members but also the Client/ Engineer’s Representative.

3.5

Safety committee

3.6

HSE Inspections and audits

In the sense that a prime HSE objective is to instil continuous HSE awareness to all project personnel on the worksite, every person on the worksite should pay attention to HSE at all times and this is an important element of HSE monitoring. As part of the HSE monitoring process, periodic site safety inspections shall be carried out to identify and evaluate the workplace hazards and implement corrective measures where required. The safety officer is to carry out daily site inspections. Site supervision will accompany the safety officer on HSE inspections in their area of responsibility at least one per week. The project manager is to carry out at least one monthly site safety inspection. Regular HSE inspections and audits will be conducted by Contractor Staff who is not engaged on the Project. The frequency of HSE inspections and audits will be determined by the following: Any frequency prescribed by regulation or request from the consultant,  

The introduction of new processes, procedures or equipment that has a potential of introducing new hazards to the workplace, or reassigning permanent or intermittent workers



The occurrence of incidents or accidents or occupational diseases,



When workplace conditions warrant an inspection.

As a minimum standard, monthly safety inspections shall be conducted on sections of the project that shall consist of the project management, HSE Managers and invited members of the consultant and client should they wish to attend.


Page 28


Monthly inspections are carried out by the Construction Managers and their findings recorded and deviations prioritised for close –out based on severity and potential risk. Daily and weekly inspections are carried out by site HSE staff for any unsafe acts or unsafe conditions. Safety observation logbook are completed and submitted to site staff or if case of no suitable action taken to the construction manager on a weekly basis. Deviations will be prioritised for close –out based on severity and potential risk. Copies of the inspection reports will be kept in the site safety files for record purposes and follow up. These reports will be analysed in order to determine trends and in so doing preventative measures can be taken in order to change negative trends. It is the site staff or if requested the Construction Managers responsibility to follow up and ensure deviations have been closed out.

Construction of scaffolds is to allow people to execute their works at height in a safe way. Therefore, all scaffolding constructions will comply at least with current industry best practices, standards, and this procedure. Special attention will be paid to a number of minimal technical specifications, which are specified below. All scaffolds shall be tagged at each access point (ladder), indicating whether it can be accessed or not. The red tag will indicate that the scaffold is unsafe for use until the scaffold has been inspected, corrected, and re-inspected until it passed for safe use. When the scaffold is safe and inspected, a green tag card will be inserted, indicating the date, name and signature of the authorised and competent scaffold inspector. All scaffolds that will remain in use longer than a week will be inspected weekly by a competent scaffold inspector.


Page 38


If no green scafftag is connected to a scaffold, or if the interval since the inspection exceeds one week the scaffold is unsafe to use. The scaffold will be used again only after proper inspection and adequate tagging. In addition, all scaffolds shall be re-inspected and confirmed as safe to use after bad weather or other incident that could affect its safety, e.g. high winds. All scaffolds shall be built on a stable base. If necessary, special measures will be used, such as spread beams under the supports. All scaffolds platforms will be able to carry a minimum required load to allow safe working. If scaffolds are to be used to lift heavy materials, a calculation note, proving the construction strength will be prepared. After the approval, the scafftag can be inserted, indicating safe access. All work floors will have railings and toe-boards. This means a plinth of a height of minimum 15cm, a knee rail at the height of 0.765 m and a handrail at 1.15 m shall be installed. All accesses to platforms will be by means of ladders or stairs (inside or outside the scaffold). No access is allowed by climbing over railings. When raising or lowering materials, scaffolders must be clipped on at all times, or working on a safe handling platform with a double guarded-rail provided. Neither equipment nor material shall be thrown up or down “bombing”.

4.5.3

Scaffold safe system of work.

All scaffolds are required to be maintained in good working condition. The scaffold inspector in the different construction teams shall inspect scaffold weekly. Scaffolds will be visually checked every day prior to beginning activities by the foreman. See appendix G for the inspection templates.

Preparation The work should be assessed to ensure that all health and safety risks are identified and suitably controlled. Supervision should aim to organise, plan and manage their work to minimise any risk, with a goal of zero accidents / incidents. Scaffolders should be selected who have appropriate attitude, aptitude, fitness, training, and experience for the particular task to be completed, and have received appropriate and recorded training. Supervision should be provided that is appropriate to the work situation and the number and skills of the work team. All scaffolders must wear and use the minimum fall arrest equipment, which has been inspected prior to use.


Page 39


4.5.4

Method work

Erection Scaffolding should be completed progressively with scaffolders installing a single guardrail on all lifts to provide protection whilst at work; Scaffolders must be clipped on when installing components outside of guardrail. Traversing along scaffolding elevations outside of the single guardrail must be limited to the maximum length of materials used.

Alteration to scaffolds The single guardrail must remain to ensure that scaffolders are protected when carrying out alteration works. Scaffolders should be working from a minimum three-board platform or more for wider structures when carrying out these operations.

Dismantling All dismantling activities should be carried out progressively, reversing the erection process. Therefore, guardrails should be included as early as possible in to the erection process and removed as late as possible during dismantling, reducing the need for scaffolders to climb the scaffold structures.

Decking Scaffolders should use as a minimum 600mm wide platforms placed centrally (e.g. 3 x 195mm scaffold boards) Boards used for decking should always be adequately supported by transoms and bearers i.e. every 1.5 m or 1.2 m as appropriate.

4.6 Excavations This procedure covers all activities that will involve works at least 50cm below ground level. All excavations deeper than 1.2m shall require shoring, stepping, sloping or benching as identified by a competent person in collaboration of the Construction Manager. In all such cases, the Safety Officer shall agree the method of prevention of collapse. On-site, it must be assumed that all excavations may encounter subterranean services or other hazards, such as contaminated soil. In all cases, preparatory checks are required. These may include reviews of drawings, and trial pits excavations. Excavations are normally subject to excavation permits, but this is not always necessary. Excavations may be carried out manually or by mechanically means. Manual excavation involves the use of ‘blunt” digging implements such as a shovel, and is to be implemented in all cases where there is a reason to believe that buried services are present that could be damaged by more aggressive digging. In manual excavation tools may not be struck or their effectiveness otherwise enhanced by mechanical means. In areas that are suitable for mechanical excavation, all hand operated and mechanical tools may be used.


Page 40


In all cases where groundwater may be encountered, adequate measures must be implemented to remove any water ingress into the excavation. Depending on the nature of the water and the presence of any contamination, the water may require sedimentation and/ or filtering before disposal. The applicable UAE Legislation is contained in the Ministerial Order No. (32) Year 1982 – Article (15), (19) and (20) Guidance is provided in H&SaWM, Section 4 complete

4.7

Equipment – Hand Tools

All hand tools, portable power tools, and equipment shall be maintained in a safe and proper working condition. No home made or modified tools shall be used. The applicable UAE Legislation is the Ministerial Decision No (32) Year 1982 – Articles (10) & (13). The Federal law No (8) Year 19890 – Article (96) applies too. Tools designed with guards, handles and electrical trip switches including dead man switches shall be quipped with such devices at all times. These shall not be removed or by-passed. Employees shall be trained/ instructed in the proper use of tools. All defective tools shall immediately be removed from service for repair. Tools shall be inspected for damage o r defects daily and prior to use. Extension cords and air hoses shall be protected from damage and shall be routed through the job in such a way that they do not form a tripping hazard and are not subject to damage or are damaged by any activity. The site store man is to set up a register of all small stores on site. A monthly check is to be carried out on all small stores for serviceability. Equipment that is found to be faulty or in a poor condition is to be removed from site. Extension cords and air hoses shall never be placed on stairs; walkways, grate floor, ground, or floors where these can create a hazard or suffer damage. Cords and air hoses shall, as far as is practically possible, never be placed on the ground or walkways, on surfaces or emergency exits. Air hoses shall be fitted with whip checks at each coupling joint. In close cooperation, the store and plant divisions will inspect all tools and equipment periodically. Hand and small powered tools will be inspected every day prior to beginning activities. A deeper 3monthly inspection will be documented and will apply a colour coding.

4.8

Nuisance Control (noise – dust)

Measurements, monitoring, and evaluation are key elements of noise and dust pollution management. This process is intended to ensure that all activities are being conducted in accordance with the local laws, established policies, and procedures.


Page 41


Control measures such as noise barriers shall be utilized where practical to prevent the spreading and increase of noise. If it is possible to isolate or insulate the sound, reduction devices shall be considered when practical. Noise measurements shall be carried out where noise is produced and at other work places where operatives may be subject to higher level than their work generates. Dust created by on-site traffic will be controlled by spreading water by truck. The applicable UAE legislation is the Ministerial Order No (32) Year 1982 – Article (1), Article (5) d, and Article (15)

5 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT


Page 46


5 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 5.1

General

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) comprises devices for individual use, intended for protecting the worker’s physical integrity against the normal aggressions of his work. Each employer is totally responsible for providing personal protective equipment for the protection of their employees as needs or requested. SISJV and all Sub-Contractors will supply all the PPE necessary for the proper and safe carrying out of the Works. The equipment must always be in good working condition and suitable for the activity in question. The use of the PPE by employees is compulsory in activities where it is prescribed. The refusal to use this equipment in such a situation can result for the employee in question being dismissed or access to specific areas may be refused. The use of PPE supplied by the Employer is a Legal Requirement under the Federal Law No. 8, 1980; employees who do not adhere to this Legal Requirement will be sanctioned. The PPE will be regularly inspected and maintained in good condition. It is also the employer’s responsibility to ensure that his employees are well trained and use properly the personal safety equipment at all time in the Site and out of site while working. The safety Officers will check that the specified protection equipment is available, is used and that the personnel using them are fully informed and instructed on the correct methods of use. The HSE Officer will report to the concerned Supervisor any operative not using his PPE correctly. He will also record the same on his report. A register is to be kept of all specialist PPE and a record kept of the training given to the employees on fitting and use as per the manufactures guidelines.

5.2

Main PPE Items and their uses

PPE shall be used in accordance with the Legal Regulation Ministerial Order No. (32) Year 1982 – Article (1), (6), (9), (22). The choice of PPE will also be guided by H&SaW as follow: Section 12 Paragraph 3

5.3

Main PPE Items and their uses

5.3.1

Head Protection

Safety hats or helmets are rigid headgear made of various materials and designed to protect the heat from impact, flying particles, electric shock, or any combination of the three. Each helmet has two parts, a shell and a suspension cradle. Any modification of the safety helmet, especially punching ho les in shell, is prohibited.

5.3.2

Eye and Face Protection

Protection of the eyes and face from physical or chemical agents are of prime importance in an industrial environment. And also, due to intensive sun exposure, uncontrolled dust and high humidity, locally used cotton Scarf should be issued to open area workers during construction period. To select the type of protection will depend on the properties of possibly imposed hazard, but it should be borne in mind that all eye protection and most face protection devices must be considered as optical instruments. They must be selected, fitted, and used with regard to both the type of hazard and the optical condition of the user. Industrial grade safety glasses (eventually with shield) required at all times during working hours in shop or in construction site. A. Welding and cutting B. Excavation C. Driving nails D. Grinding E. Drilling

5.3.3

Hand protection

The kind of gloves used depends primarily upon the material or equipment being handled. Gloves should not be used near rotating machinery as they can be caught and trap the hand. Suitable gloves should be worn on most construction work.

5.3.4

Foot Protection

The safety shoe or boot is fitted with a metal toecap. The toecap is capable of withstanding both compression and impact loads. Safety footwear for construction work must be able to withstand a compressive load of 1,100 kg and an impact load of 33 kg. Foot guards must be worn when using jack hammers, tampers and similar equipment.


Page 48


5.3.5

Safety Harness

Lifelines and Lanyards should be worn while working elevation is 3 m high form ground or platform level and no guardrail could have been put in place prior to the activity. Lifelines, safety belts, and lanyards shall be used o nly for worker safeguarding. Lifelines shall be secured above the point of operation to an anchorage or structural member. Safety lanyard shall be a minimum of 14mm nylon, or equivalent, with a proper length of falling distance.

5.3.6

Respiratory Protection

Where processes create atmospheric Contaminant, which may be hazardous to the health of employees, the first consideration always should be the application of engineering measures to control release of the contaminants. In some cases, engineering control measures are not practical and the worker should therefore be supplied with personal respiratory protective equipment. Ventilators, fans, air moves, dust mask or a combination of these should be used in dusty atmospheres. Users of dust masks, breathing air masks and respirators must be fit- tested and trai ned in their use.

9. HSE MONITORING ARRANGEMENTS AND TOOLS. 9.1

Purpose

The purpose of this section is to provide a view of the monitoring system on site to ensure a close follow-up of the safety regulations, rules and prac tices during the work activities.

9.2

Safety inspection system.

As the construction site is every day changing, every safety officer on site has the duty to check for the safety arrangement on site and to keep daily up -to-date observations log book. Every month each safety officer to receive a new observations log book. The observations are compiled in a weekly activity report to be submitted during the safety weekly meeting with the consultants and client’s representatives. This weekly activity report is also explained during SISJV internal management meeting to highlight to project management the trend of the safety o bservations. In addition of the above mentioned safety inspections, project and construction managers are to document a monthly safety inspection in their area/ scope of activities.

9.3

Pre task briefing

Site staff must incorporate safety instructions in routine orders and see that they are carried out. They also have to suitably brief workers under their contro l so that work is carried out without excessive risk or in an uncontrolled manner. Therefore, they will give pre task briefing and document the attendance sheets based on a job safety analysis (JSA) made prior and close to the beginning of their activities. See appendix J for the proposed template to be used on CCAD.

9.4

Permit to work system

HSE department to implement work permit procedure for the following activities: Hot work, confined space, lock out/tag out

9.4.1

PURPOSE

To establish the control requirements for the use of permit to work systems within the Project. This procedure is mandatory and applies to all operations/activities on The Project.


Page 63


A permit-to-work system is a formal written system used to control certain types of work that are potentially hazardous. A permit-to-work is a document, which specifies the work to be done, and the precautions to be taken. Permits-to-work form an essential part of a safe system of work for many construction activities. They allow work to start only after safe procedures have been defined and they provide a clear record that all foreseeable hazards have been considered. A permit is needed when work can only be carried out if normal safeguards are dropped or when new hazards are introduced by the work.

9.4.2

RESPONSIBILITIES

Project Manager / Construction Manager The Project Manager/Construction Manager shall ensure that any requirement for permit to work systems are identified from the hazards identified and the results of the risk assessment or tender/contract documents and is developed and put in place prior to start of any work.

HSE Manager The HSE Manager shall advise and assist in the development of any permit to work systems to ensure that they are suitable for use and comply with any statutory requirements or HSE guidance as may be required.

Supervisors The Supervisors are responsible for monitoring the compliance of any permit to work system, ensuring that control measures are implemented and the permit used as per procedural requirements.

9.4.3

PERMIT TO WORK PROCESS

The implementation of any permit to work system shall be carefully planned, developed and implemented taking in to consideration the following sections.

Description of the Work The permit shall include a clear description of the work to be undertaken and any associated hazards. The following should also be taken into consideration: Can plans and diagrams be used to assist in the description of the work to be done its location and limitations? Is any plant adequately identified, e.g. by discrete number or tag to assist issuers and users in correctly taking out and following a permit? Does the work require a method statement? If so has one been prepared, reviewed and accepted.


Page 64


Essentials of the Permit-to-Work All good Health and safety Guidance confirms that a permit-to-work must help communication between everyone involved. It should be designed by the company issuing the permit taking into account individual site conditions and requirements. Separate permit forms may be required for different tasks, such as hot work and entry into confined spaces, so that sufficient emphasis can be given to the particular hazards present and precautions required. The essential elements of a permit-to-work form are as follows: A. Permit title B. Permit number (reference to other relevant permits or isolation certificates) C. Job location D. Plant / Equipment identification E.

Description of the work to be done and its limitations.

F.

Hazard identification including residual hazards, & hazards introduced by the work.

G. Precautions necessary – person who carries out precautions, e.g. isolations, should sign that precautions have been taken. H. Protective equipment including personal protective equipment. I.

Authorization – signature confirming that isolations have been made and precautions taken, except where these can only be taken during the work; date and time duration of permit.

J.

Acceptance – signature confirming understanding of work to be done, hazards involved and precautions required. Also confirming permit information has been explained to all workers involved.

K. Extension / shift handover procedures – signatures confirming checks made that plant remains safe to be worked upon, and new acceptor / workers made fully aware of hazards / precautions. New time expiry given. L.

Work Completed – signed by acceptor certifying work completed. Signed by issuer certifying work completed and plant ready for testing and re-commissioning.

M. Cancellation – certifying work tested and plant satisfactorily re-commissioned.

9.4.4

RECORDS

All records / documentation relating to these procedures shall be maintained at the site and will be made available for auditing purpose at all times.

9.5

Tools and equipment inspection.

Poor conditions of tools or equipment can result in accident with severe injuries. Therefore, it is at all time needed to have tools and equipment in the best working setting. In order to ensure such good conditions, a 3-monthly inspection system will be implemented on CCAD.
