that are to be lifted and anything attached to it and used for lifting is of adequate
strength.
Assessments will be made prior to work commencing to assess whether the
crane and lifting equipment are suitable for the tasks intended. Account will be
taken of the combination of forces to which the crane and lifting equipment might
be subjected including stability considerations such as ground conditions,
loadings, wind and work methods.
Lifting operations will be planned so that lifting equipment is positioned or
installed to minimize the need to lift loads over people.
At all times suitable measures will be taken to prevent lifting equipment coming

Office equipment will be maintained in good condition and positioned to allow
adequate clearance for staff. Sharp objects such as broken glass, razors etc.
must not be deposited in waste bins - remember someone has to empty these
containers. Paper should always be placed in the bin for recycling. The
instructions which accompany printing and photocopying machines, particularly
the requirement to switch off the machine before clearing paper paths, cleaning
parts, or making adjustments must be followed. Never attempt to repair machines
unless trained and authorized to do so. A stepping stool or step ladder must be
used to reach high objects.

prior to commencement of out of hours or other shift work.

HSE Policy Page 21 of 26

 Hadeed Steel Industries FZC.

Where necessary HSI will monitor the effect of out of hours or other shift work on
those participating, in the event of any problems becoming manifest appropriate
action will be taken.

assessments will be carried out to ensure that all that is reasonably practicable is
done to prevent any person falling whilst at, or accessing, their workplace. No
work will be carried out at height if it is reasonably practicable to do it another
way.
Where personnel are required to work at heights in mobile elevated work
platforms or similar access plant &/or equipment then they will wear a full body
harness and suitable restraint lanyard(s) of an appropriate length which must be
attached to a suitable anchor point at all times.
Suitable fall arrest equipment will be selected and provided to personnel where
the risk assessment deems it necessary.
Operatives will receive any necessary instruction, training and be made aware of
any foreseeable dangers in the use of equipment for work at height.

out in as safe a way as is reasonably practicable. Account will be taken of the
prevailing weather conditions and planning will include for emergencies and
rescue. Collective protection will be given priority over personnel protection
measures.
Actions will be taken to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, any
materials, tools or other objects falling and causing injury.
When considering work at heights the following hierarchy for managing and
selecting equipment will be used:-
• if possible avoid work at heights
• where it cannot be avoided use work equipment or other measures to
avoid falls
• if the risks of falls cannot be eliminated take steps to minimize the
distance and consequences should a fall occur
All work at height will be carried out by suitably trained and competent personnel.

3.33 Young Persons at Work

HSI will ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place for young people at
work including those on work experience.
HSI will:
• Assess the risks to young people before they start work.
• Ensure that the risk assessment takes into account specific factors,
including their immaturity, inexperience and lack of awareness. (This risk
assessment will determine, with respect to work experience, whether the
placement can go ahead).
• Introduce control measures to eliminate or minimize the risks.
• Ensure that the young person’s Supervisor is aware of his additional
responsibilities.

4.0 Safety Legislation

Federal Law No. 8 Year 1980, The Labor and Social

Affairs implementation thereof.
The labor and social affairs law of 1980, is aimed at securing the health and
Safety and Welfare of people at work, and also the protection of their people not
at work, against risk to their health and safety arising out of or in connection with
working activities.

It places duties on every employer concerning Health, Safety and Welfare, and it
also places duties on every employee to cooperate with employers in this respect
in particular, the Labor Law 1980, obliges the Company to formulate and monitor
a Safety Policy and to draw it to the attention of all its employees.

The law covers all “person at work” whether, they are employers or employees
under the Safety Legislation, improvement Notices or Prohibition Notice may be
served by the inspectorate if it is considered that there has been a contravention
of the Safety Legislation of the labor law and there is risk of personal injury.

A Company or an individual employee may be charged and convicted by a
