1. 0 INTRODUCTION

This Project HSE Management Plan and Procedure summarizes the applicable health and safety regulations and procedures for the ZCL Chemicals API Manufacturing Facility Project. It will be periodically reviewed and updated in order to be adapted to changes that arise in the Project. Any infringement of the provisions of this Plan will result in disciplinary measures up to and including expulsion from the Project site.

The Plan is not exhaustive therefore, all Aevitas Pharmagro employees, client representatives, Contractors, suppliers, personnel and visitors must be familiar with the applicable legal requirements that are not explicitly mentioned in this document. In case of divergence between the requirements of the Project Health Safety and Risk Management Plan and the applicable local legislation, the stricter requirement will apply. When a reference to a standard is mentioned in this Plan, an equivalent standard may be substituted.

The fundamental objective of this Plan is to eliminate hazards to the health, safety and physical integrity of workers.

It outlines the measures to be implemented, programs to be set up and human resources to be deployed in order to prevent incidents.

Consequently, incident prevention on the Project site will be a priority not only during the construction period, but also during all other phases of the Project.

This Plan will help us achieve the Projects ZERO INCIDENT objective. Note that information concerning this Plan will be communicated to Contractors or subcontractors during bid solicitations and will be appended to contract documents.

This Plan is a tool that will be disseminated widely on the Project. All Contractors, suppliers, personnel and visitors must comply with its requirements, in order for the Project to be carried out safely and without incidents. In case of a dispute, Aevitas Pharmagros Plan will take precedence over all Contractor Health, Safety and Environment Plans.

2. 0 SCOPE

The Aevitas Pharmagro management team is committed to a healthy and safe working environment. The success of the Health, Safety and Environment Program depends on its implementation at every level throughout the organization and all personnel engaged in every project, facility and office. Experience shows that sound accident prevention techniques and principles result in a healthy, safe and productive workplace. To ensure the realization of this objective, this Project Health and Safety Risk Management Plan and Procedure is established to provide awareness and participation by all persons.

Prior to commencement of any work, all Aevitas Pharmagro employees, staff, management, its subcontractors, and their supervisors shall review and understand the contents of this Plan. The use of this manual will promote safety and environmental compliance as well as provide a consistent approach to achieving injury/incident-free performance.

All Sub-contractors will be responsible for safe work practices and conditions of their employees and subcontractors, and will ensure that the work does not result in hazards to themselves or to others. Every worker on at all sites will be required to adhere to the procedures and safe practices as defined by this Project Health and Safety Risk Management Plan & Procedure.

The overall goal of this plan is to maintain quality and integrity in all facets of construction, operation, and all other activities while maintaining the health and safety of all clients' personnel and the protection of property and environment.

This will be achieved by adopting policies of accident/incident prevention as follows:

1. Eliminating unsafe conditions. Accidents are caused by unsafe physical condition of equipment or mechanical, electrical exposure to the working environment.

2. Minimization of unsafe acts by providing competent supervision to ensure that workers use proper techniques and methods.

3. Taking advantage of every opportunity to correct unsafe acts or conditions before an injury occurs.

4. Avoiding, minimizing the negative impacts of actions on the natural environment.

5. Ensuring compliance to regulatory and industry standards.

3. 0 PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

3.1 The Sub-Contractor has overall responsibility for the health, safety and environmental elements under its control in accordance with Aevitas Pharmagro's Project Health Safety and Risk Management Plan and Procedures. This responsibility will be maintained throughout its association with Aevitas Pharmagro.

13.1 Incident Definitions

1. Fatality

A fatality is a death of a worker on the project or at the workplace resulting directly from an occupational illness or occupational injury. All fatalities will be classed in a separate category on the accident statistics (zero severity).

2. Critical Injury

A critical injury is one of a serious nature that:

a. Places life in jeopardy;

b. Produces unconsciousness;

c. Results in substantial loss of blood;

d. Involves the fracture of a leg or arm but not a finger or toe;

e. Involves the amputation of a leg, arm, hand or foot but not a finger or toe;

f. Consists of burns to major portion of the body; or,

g. Causes the loss of sight in an eye.

13.2 Environmental Discharge

An environmental incident involves spillage of 25L or more of contaminants and may impair environmental quality. Any incident which requires reporting to regulatory authorities is by definition an environmental incident, regardless of the quantities involved.

13.3 Occupational Injury

An occupational injury results from a work-related accident or exposure on the project or at the workplace that requires "first aid" or "medical aid" treatment (see following definitions for both).

13.4 Occupational Illness

An occupational illness results from an exposure to a chemical or physical agent on the project or at the workplace that causes illness that requires first aid or medical aid treatment.

13.5 First Aid Case

Any one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters and so forth. This treatment is considered first aid even though provided by a physician or registered medical professional personnel.

13.6 Medical Aid Treatment Case

A medical aid case is any occupational injury/illness that involves neither lost workdays nor restricted workdays but which requires treatment by a physician or licensed health care professional at the physician's office or at a clinic or a hospital.

13.7 Lost-time Injury

A lost-time injury is an occupational injury or illness which renders the affected worker unable to report for work for more than the scheduled two days following the injury. For example, a worker is injured at work on a Monday and is off work the following two days - Tuesday and Wednesday and returns on the Thursday, the same week, would not constitute a lost time injury.

13.8 Lost time Day(s)

Lost time day(s) are the day(s) counted as a result of the injured worker, who is rendered unable to work following (the two day recover period post accident are not counted) and only day(s) counted are for the time the worker is off. Unscheduled work days (i.e. Saturdays and Sunday) are not counted as lost time days.

1. All lost workdays and restricted days associated with a lost time case are assigned to the calendar year and month in which the accident occurred. Reasonable estimates may be made as a final record to close out fiscal year statistics.

2. If a case involves medical treatment or loss of workdays prior to termination or layoff, then the case and days are entered appropriately as a medical aid or lost-time injury. The recording of days against the case stops as of the date of termination or layoff even though the employee may not be released for full duty.

13.9 Restricted (Modified) Work Cases

A restricted work injury is an occupational injury or illness where the worker returns to work and conducts a task that is within his post accident physical capacity. Restricted work cases are classified as a medical aid cases.

13.10 Reporting Standards

Any incident which had the potential to cause serious injury. Fatalities will be classified in a separate category, which will not be included in the injury severity calculations.

1. Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Lost Time Injuries by 200,000 and dividing that result by the number of work hours expended during the time period of the report.

Number of Lost Time Injuries * 200,000

Number of hours worked

2. Injury Frequency Rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Lost Time Incidents and Medical Aids by 200,000 and dividing that result by the number of work hours expended during the time period of the report.

Number of Lost Time Injuries * No. of Medical Aid Cases * 200,000

Number of hours worked

3. Injury Severity Rate is calculated by multiplying the total number of workdays lost to injury and illness by 200,000 and dividing that result by the number of work hours expended during the time period of the report.

Number of Days Lost * 200,000

Number of Hours Worked

4. First Aid & Medical Aid Log is maintained by Aevitas Pharmagro and the Contractor's Medical Attendant for all treatments administered to site personnel for on-site and off-site treatment respectively throughout the project.

13.11 Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Reporting

14. Subcontractors shall remain aware of these aspects of occupational health and safety, implement risk control measures and provide the required protective devices for the protection of the worker.

20.2 Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

Subcontractors that are assigned critical tasks must complete a job safety analysis before carrying out the work. Such analyses must be done when activities are performed on the work site as per risk assessment section of this HSE Program.

Job safety analyses will be completed by the Aevitas Pharmagro HSE Manager/Engineer, sub-contractors HSE representative and supervisor / foreman in conjunction with the workers. The goal is to not only inform all workers involved and to make them aware of the risks associated with a critical task, but also to find appropriate measures of protection to prevent any hazards.

The following situations qualify as a critical task:

1. Tasks that can create a serious accident if it is not executed properly;

2. New tasks that workers are not familiar with;

3. Tasks that require a large number of people;

4. Tasks with a high risk of hazard due to the nature of the work;

5. Changes to any aspect of the work:

6. Unforeseen changes to the work estimate;

7. Significant changes to the work environment;

8. Unforeseen changes to the work team structure.

20.3 Procedures

The Aevitas Pharmagro HSE Manager/Engineer, sub-contractors HSE representative and supervisor/foreman break down the task into steps, in order to highlight the critical elements for each one.

For each step, the supervisor and his team will identify the associated risks. The objective here is to assess what elements could pose as a hazard to the workers. Such hazards include:

1. Physical: lighting, noise, falls, etc.

2. Ergonomic: body position, material transportation, etc.

3. Chemical: paints, acids, solvents, gas emissions, etc.

4. Biological: viruses, insect bites, etc.

5. Psychosocial: fatigue, worked hours, experience, etc.

Once the risk level is known, the team member will decide if such a risk is acceptable, and will identify any necessary measures to reduce the risk and proceed with the task. In the case where the team member determine that a task has an unacceptable risk level, they must decide on the mitigation measures to be taken to complete the task safely. Where necessary, it is important that the supervisor establishes additional mitigation measures to ensure that everything is in place to prevent any hazards while the critical task is carried out.

Once all the risk assessment process has been realized, the supervisor and his team have to determine the most adequate mitigation measure. If the risk cannot be completely eliminated, they must decide whether the risk can be reduced by:

1. Engineering measures (guarding, ventilation, etc.);

2. Administrative measures (procedures, work instructions, etc.);

3. Personal protection equipment (PPE).

Each worker who has participated in the JSA must sign the JSA form.

The supervisor/foreman must then submit the JSA form to Aevitas Pharmagro HSE Manager/Engineer with the work permit.

A.1 HOUSEKEEPING

Aevitas Pharmagro recognizes the importance of good housekeeping practices in its areas of work.

Subcontractors are responsible to ensure that its work and lay-down areas are maintained in an orderly fashion and free of debris at all times. Aevitas Pharmagro reserves the right to maintain good housekeeping by cleaning up the subcontractors work area and back charging for the service.

Gutkha, pan masala, tobacco and other such material is not allowed at site. Spitting at site is strictly prohibited. Waste bins shall be kept on different location at site, and regular removal of waste from waste bin shall be carried out to avoid over filling and spreading of waste at the site.

Floors, platforms, stairs and walkways will be kept free of loose materials at all times.

All equipment, tools and materials used on the site will be removed from the work area and returned to the proper storage area upon completion of each job.

Garbage, material, or tools will not be permitted to be thrown from elevations. Lower in containers or special chutes.

Nails shall not be left protruding from formwork of other material. They will be bent over or removed completely.

Materials will be well secured, especially at elevations, to avoid movement during windy conditions.

Areas in the proximity of emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers, hoses, and emergency personal protective equipment shall be kept clear at all times.

Hoses, cables and cords will be kept in an orderly manner to prevent tripping hazards. Electrical and welding cables will not be allowed to lie in pools of water. Where possible, cables will be suspended above the ground, or will be protected from mechanical damage if they cannot be suspended. Unused hoses and cables will be rolled up and stored. Unless cables and hoses remain in an orderly manner, they will be rolled up on a frequent basis as determined by Aevitas Pharmagro.

Oily rags will be disposed of in closed metal containers - not with other garbage.

Hydrocarbons or chemicals will not be intentionally spilled onto the ground or into the sewer system. Spills will be reported and cleaned up immediately.

Rubbish, debris, and other materials will not be permitted to blow around freely. Daily clean-ups will be performed to collect all wind-blown materials.

A.1.1 Materials Stockpiling

Workers should avoid circulating at the bottom of the slopes of stockpiled materials.

Materials should be stockpiled at least 1 meter or greater distance from trenches and openings.

Materials must be stockpiled on a solid, leveled and stable base and effectively blocked, if necessary.

Materials such as pipes must have a restraining system to prevent the pile from spreading or collapsing or pipes from rolling.

Remove pipes from ends of pile.

Do not stack pipe higher than 1.5 meters (5 ft.).

Stockpiled materials must be checked to ensure that pieces are not sticking out into driveways or walkways.

While working or walking on a pile of materials, soils, rock, etc. workers must ensure that the slopes are stable and that they can safely go up or down the pile.

Check all bundles for broken or weak tie wires or bands before attempting to unload. Place slings on structural steel before releasing binder chains.

Do not allow piles to exceed ten bags in height unless the face of the piles is supported by the walls of a storage bin or enclosure.

Cross-pile bagged materials on skids and pile only to a convenient height. The height depends on the nature and ability of the mechanical aids used and the weight of the bagged materials.

Do not stockpile material on a scaffold beyond the safe loading capacity.
