This HSSE booklet is intended to a

personal guide to HSSE subjects,

issued to everyone who works directly

or indirectly for CB&I in order to help

to prevent accidents, improve

occupational health care, personal

security and an awareness of the

environment.

direct connection to efficiency and

economy.

of 58

This booklet will not answer all your

HSSE issues. For further details refer

to the “Safety Representatives” or to

your supervisor or Safety

representative. However, it provides a

basis for good working practices.

POLICY TO BE PLACED HERE.

of 58

1.0 THE LAW: The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 is the principal statute for ensuring that appropriate Health & Safety standards exist within the United Kingdom. This is also supplemented by other more detailed specific legal requirements, for example the Office, Shops & Railway Premises Act 1963. The law says “you must take reasonable care of the Health & Safety of yourself & of other persons who may be affected by your acts & omissions at work”. It goes on to state that “You must not intentionally

of 58

or recklessly interfere with or misuse anything provided in the interest of Health & Safety or Welfare”. For example you are not allowed to misuse or interfere with fire equipment, which is there to help protect people if a fire breaks out. 2.0 HEALTH & SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES: C.B.&.I. Business Units recognize the legal obligations placed upon them by the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 & all other related Acts & Regulations & accordingly, the following responsibilities have been identified.

At Business Level:

The Project Director or equivalent business head is responsible for all matters relating to Health & Safety within his operations.

At Workplace Level.

Appointed Management representatives are responsible for the practical implementation of the requirements of all relevant Health & Safety Legislation, & for compliance with all Company

of 58

Policy, procedures & practices which apply to the activities being carried out at that workplace.

At Individual Level:

All employees have the Statutory duty to take reasonable care of themselves & others who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work, to co-operate on all matters of Health & Safety & not to interfere with or misuse anything provided in the interests of Health Safety & Welfare. Employees must refer all matters of concern relating to HSSE or welfare to their immediate Superior in the very first instance. 3.0 HSSE ORIENTATION / INDUCTION All personnel working during the Construction Phase of the Project & visitors to the site shall be required to attend an HSSE Orientation/Induction briefing prior to commencing work. All attendees will be assessed to ascertain their level of understanding of the induction content & shall sign an attendance log following satisfactory completion of the induction programme.

of 58

The programme shall be repeated at a minimum of 12 monthly intervals or following major changes to Legislative or on-site conditions, working arrangements, whichever is the sooner. Special emphasis shall be given on the proactive role expected by all personnel working on the project & their ability to stop work. The open communications policy shall ensure that people are not put into hazardous situations. C.B.&.I. shall ensure that “all new starts” are sufficiently mentored at their workplaces for an adequate period (maximum 5 days) shall be acceptable, however, the period shall be commensurate with the activity & risks either from that activity or other potentially impacting works. Upon satisfactory conclusion of the Induction Training, personnel shall be issued with Permanent I.D. cards by security for access to the Project site. VISITORS: All visitors to the Project Site shall also undergo a HSSE Orientation/Induction based upon being accompanied at all times.

of 58

NOTE: No visitor(s) shall be allowed onto the site unless accompanied at all times. There shall be no dispensation for this rule, should a visitor attend site on a regular basis he/she shall attend the full HSSE Orientation/Induction. 4.0 Alcohol & Substance Abuse. Introduction A formal policy has been developed with the PRINCIPAL INTENTION of protecting the Health, Safety & Welfare of all members of C.B.&.I. staff (Permanent or temporary), Contractors, Sub-contractors & any visitors to the Project Site. Background: As detailed within the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, there are obligations placed & imposed on

of 58

both the employees & employer to have regard to Health, Safety & Welfare. The terms & conditions of employment, under which we currently work, require all employees to report for work in a fit state to undertake their duties. Promotion of Health, Safety & Welfare: It is recognized that alcohol; & substance abuse can potentially affect all employees irrespective of position within the Company. The workplace may provide opportunities for detection & provision of help/treatment.

5.0 HSSE Training In the construction industry, and more

specifically our Project, frequent HSSE

training is provided regularly on an

ongoing basis. This will encompass

awareness & trade, Skill set training. All

HSSE Training provided will be evaluated

as to its effectiveness. Contractors &

Subcontractors will implement their own

HSSE Training programs.

of 58

6.0 Incentives

CB&I and its contractors will operate

various incentive schemes to reward

good HSSE compliance & behaviour.

7.0. Safe Systems of Work/ Risk

Assessment

The objective of CB&I, as the custodian

of the Principal Contractor HSSE

program is to prevent injuries and to

allow you to do your job efficiently and

safely and to minimise any impact we may

have upon the environment. Therefore it

is imperative that all workers follow the

systems of work in place to ensure that

of 58

the potential for accidents, incidents is

eliminated by maintaining compliance

with the project HSSE Plans, procedures

& supporting processes. The company &

Contractors will undertake formal risk

assessments in relation to the works,

tasks being carried out. You must always

follow the requirements of the risk

assessment & supporting method

statements & procedures.

of 58

8.0. Violations

A system of disciplinary measures are

established which is fair & uniformly

administered throughout the site. These

will be detailed as part of the HSSE

Induction prior to working on the Project

Site.

The disciplinary procedure shall:

Observe UK Legal & HSSE

Requirements;

Be in accordance with the

Project HSSE Plans &

procedures;

Be fair & equitable to all

employees;

Be undertaken with full

disclosure to any relevant

trade unions.

The purpose of safety rule enforcement

is the protection of all employees.

of 58

13.0 PPE Inappropriate footwear or shoes

must not be worn. Wear proper

Safety Footwear with steel toe-

caps, Hardhat, Hi Visibility

clothing and Safety glasses on the

job.

NOTE: The above are mandatory

for the Project Site Other items

of PPE for various tasks,

specialist operations will be

identified, your supervisor will

inform you on the type of PPE

required following the Risk

Assessment process. If the PPE

gets damaged or lost, report this

to your Supervisor immediately

of 58

15.0 Getting it Right; It is important to emphasize the following:

Work will not be conducted without a formal pre-job risk assessment & a supporting task briefing appropriate for the level of risk.

All personnel will be trained & competent in the work, duties that they undertake.

PPE will be worn as per the risk assessment & minimum Project Site requirements.

Emergency Plans, developed from a detailed review of all potential Emergency situations 7 scenarios, will be in place before the commencement of work.

Everybody has an obligation & right to stop any work that is unsafe.

of 58

17.0 PERMIT TO WORK: The Permit to Work system is applied to all main construction activities, & other activities which involve non-routine tasks. The PTW system is managed by a PTW Coordinator in accordance with the project PTW Procedure. Before conducting any work that involves confined space entry, work on any energy systems, ground disturbance, where buried hazards may exist or radiographic works, hot works in potentially explosive environments a permit must be obtained that:;

Defines the scope of work(s)

Identifies all hazards & assesses risk(s)

Establishes control measures to eliminate or mitigate hazards

Links the work to other associated work permits or (S.I.M.O.P) simultaneous operations.

Is fully authorized by the responsible person(s)

Communicates the above information to all concerned & involved in the works.

Ensures stringent control mover the return to normal operations.

18.0 CONFINED SPACES

of 58

Working within confined spaces can be very hazardous, therefore every Safety precaution must be taken & stringently adhered to at all times . There are several Regulations covering entry into confined spaces which must be followed. Entry into confined spaces cannot proceed unless:

All other options have been ruled out.

A permit is issued with the full authorization of a responsible person(s).

The permit conditions are communicated to all affected personnel & posted, as required.

All persons involved are fully trained & competent to perform the work.

All sources of energy affecting the space have been fully isolated.

Testing of the atmospheres is conducted, verified & repeated as often as determined by the Risk Assessment .

Stand-by personnel are stationed.

Unauthorized entry is PREVENTED.

19.0 ENERGY ISOLATION

of 58

As per the Permit to Work System in place, Any

isolation of energy systems; mechanical, electrical,

process & hydraulic, pneumatic & others cannot

proceed unless:

The method of isolation & discharge of

stored energy are agreed & executed by a

competent person(s)

Any stored energy is discharged.

A system of locks & tags is utilized at all

isolation points.

A test is conducted to ensure that the

isolation is effective.

Isolation effectiveness is periodically &

stringently monitored.

of 58

20.0 GROUND DISTURBANCE -

EXCAVATIONS

Any work that involves a man made cut or cavity,

trench or depression in the earth’s surface formed by

earth removal cannot proceed unless:

A full hazard & risk assessment of the work

site is completed by the competent

person(s)

All underground hazards, i.e. pipelines,

electric cables etc, have been identified,

located & if necessary isolated.

Where persons are to enter an excavation:

A confined space entry permit must be

issued if the entry meets the confined

spaces definition.

Ground movement must be controlled &

collapse prevented by systematically

shoring, sloping, benching, etc, as

appropriate.

Ground & environmental conditions must

be continuously monitored for change.

of 58

21.0 WORKING AT HEIGHTS

of 58

10.0 Utilities Employees or Contractors must not

handle or tamper with any electrical

equipment, machinery, or air or water

lines in a manner outside of the scope of

their duties unless they have received

instructions and authorisation from their

supervisor.

11.0 Incident Reporting

If you are injured on the job, report the

injury immediately. t!

report the injury when it occurs, even if

you believe that medical treatment is not

of 58

necessary. If medical treatment is

required, it will be provided.

Remember – We all believe in the

NO BLAME culture – to enable the root

causes to be identified and prevention of

a recurrence.

12.0 Manual Handling When lifting any thing, use the power of

your legs and not your back. If you keep

your back in its natural curvature by

bending your legs, it's difficult to suffer

a back injury.

13.0 PPE Inappropriate footwear or shoes

must not be worn. Wear proper

Safety Footwear, Hardhat, Hi Vis

clothing and Safety glasses on the

job.

of 58

14.0 Dropped Objects Materials, tools, and other objects shall

not be thrown from structures until

proper precautions are taken to protect

others from the falling objects.

15.0 Safe Systems of Work In line with the CB&I Project Health and

Safe Policy, all employees are expected

to work in a safe manner at all times. All

tasks will be carried out in line with the

following:

1. The task must be assessed and the

activity thoroughly planned.

2. The workforce must be organised and

sure of their roles.

3. The planned procedures or method

statements must be adhered to

during the work.

4. Any changes to the work scope will be

identified to the workforce and

thoroughly explained.

of 58

5. If the activity is to be suspended for

any time e.g. meal breaks etc. the

workplace is to be left in a safe and

secure manner.

6. All tasks to be completed to the

highest standards.

Permit to Work

These are often required by customers

for two main reasons; firstly to maintain

control of work being carried out on

their worksite and secondly to ensure

that all necessary HSSE precautions are

carried out. It should be noted that a

work permit does not guarantee HSSE

compliance; an accident can occur at any

time and site rules must always be

adhered to.

Work Permits are issued for the

following types of work:

Hot Work

Confined Spaces

of 58

Electrical Work

Excavations

Cold Work

It identifies conditions and limits

potentially harmful effects on the

person carrying out the work by

specifying HSSE precautions to be

adhered to during of the work carried

out. It gives a comprehensive and

detailed record of all ongoing work,

control of the work situation and avoids

conflicting or incompatible work being

carried out simultaneously.

16.0 Radioactive Equipment By law all work carried out using

radioactive equipment must be

supervised by an authorised person.

Training given to authorised persons

contains all necessary rules and

regulations and should be fully

understood and adhered at all times.

of 58

17.0 Housekeeping Housekeeping is

important to everyone's

safety so take time to

keep your work area

clean. If you see a

hazard, correct it. If

you can't correct the

hazard yourself, report

it to either your

supervisor or your

Safety Representative

so that it can be

corrected.

Waste must be segregated as it is

Project Policy to recycle as much

waste as possible. Hazardous wastes

will be stored separately in specially

marked containers.

of 58

Do not bring personal valuables to

site, CB&I provides a secure

environment with 24/7 security

patrols. Report any problems to

security.

18.0 Chemical Handling When handling chemicals or hazardous

substances be sure to use personal

protective equipment as necessary and

follow the instructions provided on the

chemical label / MSDS. The spillage of

any substances can cause harm to the

environment or be life threatening to the

local wildlife therefore

please take care.

19.0 Ladders & Scaffolds When using ladders, inspect the ladder

before using it to make sure it is in good

condition and will carry the load.

of 58

Using the proper ladder on the job is

equally important. Never stand on the

top two steps of a ladder, and when using

straight ladders, make sure the ladder

extends at least 1.2 metres above the

landing, or where the ladder is positioned

on the structure.

Any damage to scaffolds, false work, or

other supporting structures shall be

immediately reported to your supervisor

and repaired before use.

20.0 Working at Heights In some areas it is not always practicable

to provide safe access when working at

height (over 2 metres)

In these cases you will be provided

with a safety harness and Lanyard.

Check to ensure you are wearing

the harness correctly; Check the

of 58

Harness inspection tag – to see

that it has been inspected in the

last 6 months.

Check for any signs of wear and tear.

Locate a sound anchor point once at the

workface to clip the lanyard onto – if

none - stop the task and inform your

Supervisor

21.0 Vehicles and Traffic Safety belts fitted in company vehicles

must be used by the driver and

passengers. It is the driver’s

responsibility to ensure that this rule is

adhered to.

The driver of the company vehicle is

entrusted with the responsibility for its

proper use.

Vehicle accidents must be reported

promptly. (see Section 11)

of 58

22.0 Defensive Driving The definition of defensive driving is:

“Driving to prevent collisions in spite of

the incorrect actions of others and

adverse conditions”

It is the driver’s responsibility to

anticipate and avoid at all times those

situations, which are dangerous to him,

and to the company’s equipment in

charge. To do this requires that he

drives and operate the equipment in a

safe manner; that he inspect the vehicle

and auxiliary equipment to assure it will

operate safely; that he keep alert in all

situations whereby he might be unduly

exposed to personal injury from any

cause. Care must also be taken to

prevent the theft from company

vehicles, keep valuables hidden from view

and always lock the vehicle.

of 58

The basic responsibilities for safe

driving:

Everyone who drives a company vehicle

must become thoroughly familiar with all

government traffic regulations. “Tail-

gating” is prohibited. Cars do not follow

closer than a two second gap.

23.0 Ignition sources No source of ignition shall be applied to

any enclosed tank or vessel, even if

there are some openings, until it has

been first determined that no possibility

of explosion exists.

A Permit to Work for the work is to be

obtained from your Supervisor.

Persons using welding equipment must

always be concerned with the potential

for starting fires from the sparks or

flash.

of 58

Never weld around combustible or

flammable material and, if necessary,

have someone standing by with a fire

extinguisher during welding operations.

24.0 Tools & Equipment

When using tools and equipment, maintain

these tools and equipment in good

serviceable condition. Damaged tools or

equipment must be removed from service

and tagged "defective."

Only appropriate tools shall be used for

a specific job. (A screwdriver should not

be used in place of a chisel.)

Portable electric tools shall not be lifted

or loaded by means of the power cable.

Use ropes, not the power cables for

lifting or lowering electrical tools.

of 58

Before electrical tools are used, they

must be inspected to make sure the

power cable and plugs are in good

condition. Damaged or frayed power

cables must be replaced before use.

25.0 Lifting Operations Know the weight of the load to be

lifted and ensure that it does not exceed

the safe working load (SWL) of the

tackle and crane.

Use only authorised tackle, which is

marked with the SWL. Unmarked tackle

should report to the supervisor.

Inspect all tackle before use. Report

damaged tackle have it scrapped.

Never tie knots in slings or shorten

by wrapping them around crane hooks or

by using a nut or bolt.

of 58

Never use rusty wire ropes, or fibre

ropes, which have been in contact with

acids or alkalis.

Rings and shackles must ride freely

on the crane hook. Never lift with the

point of the hook.

Never puts sharp ends in wire ropes.

Always protect slings from sharp

corners.

Check that all parts of the load are

safely slung. Keep hands away before

lifting and stand clear while the load is

being lowered.

Never stand under suspended load.

Do not trap slings under loads. Use

dunnage to give clearance for sling

removal.

Us only the correct signals and make

sure that they are clearly understood by

the crane driver.

of 58

Never store lifting tackle in your own

locker. It must be freely available for

regular inspection.

Never store lifting tackle on the

floor.

Cranes

Only authorised personnel are allowed

to operate a mobile crane.

Never drag a load with the crane.

Never carry load over people.

Only respond to signals from one

authorised slinger-unless it is the

Emergency Stop signal, which can be

given by anyone.

26.0 Overhead Power Lines

Most incidents involve high-voltage lines

supported on wooden poles, but the

dangers of other power lines such as

those supported on steel towers or steel

of 58

poles and concrete structures must not

be ignored.

By taking adequate measures we can

prevent this danger of death

All areas where contact is possible

should be adequately marked, with

marker poles and max. heights shown.

Be aware of line heights: 275 or 400 kV: Minimum clearance 7 m

132 kV: Minimum clearance 6.7 m

33 kV 11 kV Low voltage

Vehicle mounted cranes can reach up to

6m

However, always check with your local

Electricity Authority for confirmation!

Use of machinery

Accidents can be prevented if the

following operations are not carried out

within a horizontal distance of at least 9

m from power lines on wooden poles or at

of 58

least 15 m from lines on metal towers.

These distances should be measured

from the line of the nearest conductor

to the work, projected vertically

downwards onto the floor, and

perpendicular to the route of the line.

Risks can be reduced by:

taking care not to damage poles and

stays;

making sure machinery can operate

safely near any overhead lines;

fitting shorter radio aerials or

repositioning existing ones on high

machines so they cannot cause danger;

not storing pipes or other materials

and equipment near or under power lines

and their supports;

designating safe areas for high-risk

operations, e.g. boom folding, telescopic

handler use, tipping trailers.

of 58

Training Everybody who works near overhead

power lines with a machine or equipment

needs to know what the dangers of

overhead lines are, the precautions to

follow and what to do if they do contact

a power line.

27.0 Rotating / Moving Equipment Only those persons who are trained and

authorised may operate machinery or

equipment.

Loose or frayed clothing, long hair,

dangling ties, finger rings, necklaces, and

other potentially hazardous items may

not be worn around moving machinery or

other areas where they become

entangled.

Machinery shall not be serviced, repaired

or adjusted while in operation, or shall

of 58

oiling of moving parts be attempted,

except when equipment that is designed

or fitted with safeguards to protect the

person performing the work. Fuelling of

equipment must not be undertaken

without the use of drip trays, any

accidental spillages must be reported to

your supervisor.

28.0 Isolations Where appropriate, physical isolation

procedures must be used.

If you see a piece of equipment or a

machine that is locked off and tagged,

do not attempt to operate this

equipment.

A lock and tag or just a tag means that

someone is working on that machine and

could possibly be injured if the

of 58

equipment were to be inadvertently

started.

29.0 Trapping Employees shall not work under vehicles

or other equipment supported by jacks

or chain hoists without protective

blocking that will prevent injury if jacks

or hoists should fail.

30.0 Excavations All excavations must be visually

inspected before backfilling to ensure it

is safe to backfill.

Excavating equipment must not be

operated near tops of cuts, banks or

cliffs if employees are working below.

Tractors, bulldozers, and back hoes must

not operate where there is a possibility

of overturning in dangerous areas, such

of 58

as edges of deep fills, cut banks and

steep slopes.

31.0 Site Traffic Obey all warning signs and signals !!!!

Do not bring unauthorised persons on

site without informing security.

of 58

Watch out for moving vehicles and

equipment on the job site.

Often this equipment is noisy and the

operator may not be able to hear or see

you.

of 58

You have the responsibility for watch out

for moving equipment.

32.0 Environment Environmental Management during the

construction of the Project will be

managed in accordance with the following

Environmental Management Plans.

Environmental Management and

Monitoring (EMM)

kept separately.

of 58

32.7 Oil Spill Response

- If you observe any spill or leakage,

immediately inform your manager.

- Remove leaking or empty oil drums

from the site immediately.

- Be careful about filling and re-

fuelling activities, which together with

any storage tanks, shall be confined to a

location remote from any environmentally

sensitive receptors.

of 58

33.0 Summary

There are many more HSSE practices

and rules that could be listed, but it's

impossible to list them all.

Actually, HSSE is simply using common

sense and good judgment.

If something appears to have the

potential for injury or harm, then that's

the time to take steps to make sure the

injury or harm doesn't occur.

of 58

Teamwork - everyone's

co-operation and a special

effort can result in a safe and

helpful work environment. If

you take HSSE seriously,

you'll have a much better

attitude about yourself and

your job.

Take time for HSSE, because

it really does make a

difference.
