23 Material Handling and Storage

How construction materials are handled can have a considerable effect on the efficiency of production and on the safety record
of the site. Because of the temporary nature of site work and the frequent change of the workplace, it is not possible to
mechanize material handling to the same extent, as it would be in a more stable operation. However, there are many areas in
which labor intensive, inefficient, costly, and frequently

dangerous, manual material handling work can be replaced by the use of machines. To have an effective material handling and
storing safety and health program, managers must take an active role in its development. First-line supervisors must be
convinced of the importance of controlling hazards
associated with materials handling and storing and must be held accountable for employee training. An ongoing safety and health
program should be used to motivate employees to continue to use necessary protective gear and to observe proper
job procedures.
Instituting these practices, along with providing the correct materials handling equipment, can add a large measure of worker safety
and health in the area of materials handling and storing.
23.1Planning
Successful mechanization of material handling requires that the correct machines be available and properly
used.
The storage and movement of the various materials must be carefully arranged to make optimum use of the
machines so that efficient service can be provided and ensure that all vehicle, crane and heavy equipment
operators hold current Saudi Arab Government License and Saudi Aramco Certification where required.
Planning for materials handling operations begins as the production schedule is being drawn. Ensure that the
layout of storage areas provides for adequate access for necessary mechanical equipment.
Selection of the storage area should be made with due consideration for drainage and protection from rain and
sandstorms. Open storage areas should be planned to minimize the reversing and maneuvering of trucks especially into and out of
confined areas.
Access ways must be wide enough to allow for the passage of fire trucks. Fire-fighting equipment should be located throughout the
area.
Cribbing timber, racks, or pallets should be used to ensure that all materials are stored off the ground.
Protection should be provided for materials such as cement, insulation, and other bulk material, which could be
damaged by moisture.
All machinery, equipment, and valves should be maintained fully assembled and securely closed. All machined
surfaces must be Flammable stores shall be kept separated.

Such a policy should greatly reduce losses due to pilferage or damage. Once these factors have been
established, the staffing of the storage areas can then be considered. covered and fully protected from exposure to the weather.
23.2 POTENTIAL HAZARDS
Handling and storing materials involve diverse operations such as hoisting steel with a crane, driving a truck
loaded with concrete blocks, manually carrying drums, barrels, kegs, lumber or loose bricks. The improper
handling and storing of materials can cause costly injuries.
Workers frequently cite the weight and bulkiness of objects being lifted as major contributing factors to their
injuries. The second factor frequently cited was body movement. Bending followed by twisting and turning were
the more commonly cited movements that caused back injuries.
In addition, workers can be injured by falling objects, improperly stacked materials, or by various types of
equipment. When manually moving materials, however, workers should be aware of potential injuries, including
the following:
 Strains and sprains from improperly lifting loads, or from carrying loads that are either too large or too heavy
 Fractures and bruises caused by being struck by materials, or by being caught in pinch points.
 Cuts and bruises caused by falling materials that have been improperly stored, or by incorrectly cutting
 ties or other securing devises
Since numerous injuries can result from improperly handling and storing materials, it is important to be aware of accidents that may
occur from unsafe or improperly handled equipment and improper work practices, and to recognize the methods for
eliminating, or at least minimizing, the occurrence of these accidents.
23.3 Methods of Prevention
General safety principles can help reduce workplace accidents. These include:
 REQUISITION
Project Name: RIYAS NGL FRACTIONATION FACILITIES PROJECT . No.:
Rev. No.: 01
INDUSTRIAL SUPPORT FACILITIES (ISF)
Date: 11/26/2023
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 49 of 134

 Good work practices.

 Ergonomic principles.
 Training and education.
Whether moving materials manually or mechanically, employees should be aware of the potential hazards
associated with the task at hand, and how to exercise control over their workplaces to minimize the danger.
23.4 Moving, Handling and Storing Materials
When manually moving materials, employees should seek help when a load is so bulky it cannot be properly grasped or lifted, when
they cannot see around or over it, or when a load cannot be safely handled. When an employee is placing blocks under raised loads,
the employee should ensure that the load is not released until his hands are clearly removed from the load. Blacking materials and
timbers should be large and string enough to support the load safely. Materials with evidence of cracks, rounded corners, splintered
pieces, or dry rot should not be used for blocking. Handles and holders should be attached to loads to reduce the chances of getting
fingers pinched or smashed. Workers should also use appropriate protective equipment. For loads with sharp or rough edges, wear
gloves or other hand and forearm protection.
When the loads are heavy or bulky, the mover should also wear steel-toed safety shoes or boots to prevent foot injuries if the worker
slips or accidentally drops a load. When mechanically moving materials, avoid overloading the equipment by letting the weight, size
and shape of the material being moved, dictate the type of equipment used for transporting it. All materials handling equipment has
rated capacities that determine the maximum weight the equipment can safely handle and the conditions under which it can handle
those weights. The equipment-rated capacities must be displayed on each
piece of equipment and must not be exceeded except for load testing. When picking up items with a powered industrial truck, the load
must be centered on the forks and as close to the mast as possible to minimize the potential for the truck tipping or the load falls. A lift
truck must never be overloaded, because it would be hard to control and could easily tip over.
Extra weight must not be placed on the rear of a counterbalanced forklift to offset an overload. All stacked loads must be correctly
piled and cross-tiered, where possible. Stored materials must not create a hazard. Storage areas must be kept free from accumulated
materials that may cause tripping, fires, or explosions, or that may contribute to the harboring of rats and other pests. When stacking
and piling materials, it is important to be aware of such factors as the materials height and weight, how accessible the stored materials
are to the user, and the condition of the containers where the materials are being stored. All bound materials should be stacked,
placed on racks, blocked, interlocked, or otherwise secured to prevent it from sliding, falling or collapsing. When stacking materials,
height limitations should be observed. For quick reference, walls or posts may be painted with stripes to indicate maximum stacking
heights.
Used lumber must have all nails removed before stacking. Lumber must be stacked and levelled on solidly supporting bracing. The
stacks must be stable and self-supporting. When masonry blocks are stacked higher than 6 feet, the stacks should be tapered back
one-half block for each tier above the 6-foot level. Bags and bundles must be stacked in interlocking rows to remain secure. Bagged
material must be stacked by stepping back the layers and cross-keying the bags at least every ten layers. To remove bags from the
stack, start from the top row first. Boxed materials must be banded or held in place using crossties or shrink plastic fiber. Drums and
barrels must be stacked symmetrically. If stored on their sides, the bottom tiers must be blocked to keep them from rolling. When
stacked on end, put planks, sheets of plywood, or pallets between each tier to make a firm, flat, stacking surface. When stacking
materials two or more tiers high, the bottom tier must be chocked on each side to prevent shifting in either direction. When stacking,
consider the need for availability of the material. Material that cannot be stacked due to size, shape, or fragility can be safely stored on
shelves or in bins. Structural steel, bar stock, poles, and other cylindrical materials, unless in racks, must be stacked and blocked to
prevent spreading or tilting.
Pipes and bars should not be stored in racks that face main aisles; this could create a hazard to passers-by when supplies are being
moved.

23.5 Ergonomic Safety and Health Principles

Ergonomics is defined as the study of work and is based on the principle that the job should be adapted to fit the person, rather than
forcing the person to fit the job. Ergonomics focuses on the work environment and items such as design and function of workstations,
controls, displays, safety devices, tools, and lighting to fit the employees’ physical requirements and to ensure their health and well-
being. Ergonomics includes restructuring or changing workplace conditions to make the job easier and reducing stresses that cause
cumulative trauma disorders and repetitive motion injuries. In the area of materials handling and storing, ergonomic principles may
 REQUISITION

Rev. No.: 01
INDUSTRIAL SUPPORT FACILITIES (ISF)

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 50 of 134

require controls such as reducing the size or weight of the objects lifted, installing a mechanical lifting aid, or changing the height of a
pallet or shelf. Although no approach has been found for totally eliminating back injuries resulting from lifting materials, a substantial
number of lifting injuries can be prevented by implementing an effective ergonomics program and by training employees in
appropriate lifting techniques.
In addition to using ergonomic controls, there are some basic safety principles that can be employed to reduce injuries resulting from
handling and storing materials, these include taking general fire precautions and keeping aisles and passageways clear. In adhering to
fire safety precautions, employees should note that flammable and combustible materials must be stored according to their fire
characteristics. Flammable liquids for example must be separated from other material by a firewall. In addition, other combustibles
must be stored in an area where smoking and using an open flame or spark-producing device is prohibited. Dissimilar materials that
are dangerous when they are exposed to each other must be stored apart. When using aisles and passageways to move materials
mechanically, sufficient clearance must be allowed for aisles at loading docks, through doorways, wherever turns must be made, and
in other parts of the workplace. Providing sufficient clearance for mechanically moved, materials would prevent workers from being
pinned between the equipment and fixtures in the workplace, such as walls, racks posts, or other machines. Sufficient clearance will
also prevent the load from striking an obstruction and falling on an employee. All passageways used by employees should be kept clear
of obstructions and tripping hazards. Materials in excess of supplies needed for immediate operations should not be stored in aisles or
passageways,
and permanent aisles and passageways must be marked appropriately.

23.6 Training And Education

A formal training program will be introduced to help reduce materials handling hazards. The content of the training will emphasize the
factors that will contribute to reducing workplace hazards including the following:
 Alerting the employee to the dangers of lifting without proper training
 Showing the employee how to avoid unnecessary physical stress
 Teaching workers to become aware of what they can comfortably handle without undue strain
 Instructing workers on the proper use of equipment
 Teaching workers to recognize potential hazards and how to prevent or correct them
 Because of the high incidence of back injuries, safe-lifting techniques for manual lifting should be demonstrated and practiced
ats the work site by supervisors as well as employees.
 A training program to teach proper lifting techniques should cover the following topics:
 Awareness of the health risks to improper lifting
 Knowledge of the basic anatomy of the spine, the muscles, and the joints of the trunk, and the contributions of intra-
abdominal pressure while lifting
 Awareness of individual body strengths and weaknesses, determining one’s own lifting capacity
 Recognition of the physical factors that might contribute to an accident, and how to avoid the unexpected
 Use of safe lifting postures and timing for smooth, easy lifting and the ability to minimize the load moment effects
 Use of handling aids such as stages, platforms, or steps, trestles; shoulder pads, handles, and wheels
 Knowledge of body responses-warning signals-to be aware of when lifting

25.2.2 Personal Hygiene & Housekeeping
With an ever-increasing number of hazardous substances being used in the construction and building industry, the need for
personal hygiene standards is paramount.
Hygiene - Basic principles of hygiene should be observed. These include;

 Wash hands with soap and water before preparing, handling or eating food
 Use of amenities to maintain personal cleanliness
 Use of garbage bins in conjunction with a regular disposal system;
 Hygienic drinking fluids
 Toilet facilities for the number of workers at the site

Housekeeping - Good housekeeping is the first principle of accident prevention and is conducive to the safety of all persons in
the work place.

 Work areas are to be kept clean and free of debris and all waste material.
 Walkways, stairways, passageways and exits must be kept clear to provide unimpeded access or egress at all
times.
 Spillages of oil, acid or other liquids must be cleaned up immediately.
 Protruding sharp objects are to be eliminated or removed as soon as they are exposed. This includes nails in
wood, sharp metal edges, scrap metal tins, and broken glass.
 Food scraps and other refuse must be placed in receptacles provided and emptied regularly.
 Waste combustible materials must be placed in metal receptacles with a metal lid and emptied regularly.
25.3 Ergonomics
25.3.1 Manual Handling.
Manual handling encompasses more than just lifting or carrying an object. Manual handling can include a variety of activities for
example pulling a control lever, restraining a farm animal or operating power tools. Manual handling of loads may cause cumulative
disorders due to gradual and cumulative deterioration of the musculoskeletal system through continuous lifting / handling activities,
e.g. low back pain. It can also cause acute trauma such as cuts or fractures due to accidents. Employers are required to carry out risk
assessments, and take action to protect workers from the risks of manual handling.
Prevention measures include:
 Designing and organizing tasks to avoid manual handling completely, or at least restrict it.
 Using automation and lifting equipment.
 Organizing manual handling tasks in a safe way, with loads split into smaller ones, and proper rest periods provided.
 Providing information and training to workers on tasks, and the use of equipment and correct handling techniques.
Manual handling occurs in almost all working environments (factories, warehouses, building sites, farms, hospitals,
offices etc.). It can include lifting boxes at a packaging line, handling construction materials, pushing carts, handling
patients in hospitals, and cleaning.
 Manual Handling Hazardous
 REQUISITION

INDUSTRIAL SUPPORT FACILITIES (ISF)

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 54 of 134

There are several factors that make manual handling hazardous, and increase the risk of injury. These are called risk
factors. The risk factors, particularly for back injury, are related to 4 aspects of manual handling: the load, the task,
the environment and the individual.

 The load - The risk of back injury increases during lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling of loads, if the load is:

 Too heavy - There is no exact weight limit for manual handling. A weight of 20 to 25 kg is heavy to lift for most people, especially
if the load is handled several times in an hour. Note that pushing or pulling often imposes less loading on the body than lifting or
carrying.

 Too large - One basic rule for lifting and carrying is to keep the load as close to the body as possible. In order to get a broad load
close to the body, the worker has to open the arms to reach and hold the load. The arm muscles cannot produce force when
reaching as effectively as with the arms held in close. Thus, the muscles Shall get tired more rapidly when handling a large bulky
load.

 Difficult to grasp - Loads that are difficult to grasp can result in the object slipping, causing sudden movement of the load. Gloves
usually make grasping more difficult than with bare hands. Providing the objects with handles or using aids for gripping (e.g.,
when carrying plate material) reduces the load on the worker. Loads with sharp edges or of dangerous materials (solids or
liquids) can injure workers, especially in the event of a collision.

 Unbalanced, unstable or if the contents can move - With unbalanced objects, it is difficult to hold the center of gravity of the load
close to the middle of the body. This leads to uneven loading of muscles, and fatigue. Unstable or moving content, such as a
liquid, causes uneven loading of the muscles and sudden movements of the load can make workers lose their balance and fall.

 Difficult to reach - Loads that can only be reached with outstretched arms, or by bending or twisting the trunk, require more
muscular force. The spine may easily be hurt if the trunk is bent or twisted while lifting.

 The task - The risk of back injury increases if the task:

 Is too strenuous - Tasks may be very demanding if they have to be carried out too frequently or for too long with insufficient
rest or recovery time (e.g., continuous lifting or carrying for long distances, or activities where the working speed is imposed by
a process which cannot be altered by the worker).

 The environment - The following characteristics of the work environment may increase the risk of back injury:
 Space available - A lack of space to carry out manual handling may lead to inappropriate body postures and dangerous
imbalance in the loads.
 Floor - Handling loads on different working levels or on floors that are slippery, uneven or unstable (such as working
platforms or fishing boats) may increase the risk of accidents and back injury.
 Climate - The physical climate (temperature, humidity and ventilation) may affect the risk of back injury. Heat makes you
feel tired, and sweat makes it hard to hold tools, requiring more force. Cold can make your hands numb, making it hard
to grip.

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 55 of 134

 Lighting - Insufficient lighting may increase the risk of accidents when handling loads. It may also make you work in
awkward positions to see clearly what you are doing.
 The individual - There are also some individual factors that can influence the risk of back injury:
 Experience, training and familiarity with the job (for example, new episodes of low back pain are common in the first year
of employment).
 Age (the risk of low back disorders increases with the number of years at work: the first episode of low back pain occurs
in most people by the age of 30).
 Physical dimensions and capacity (length, weight, strength, etc.).
 Personal lifestyle (smoking may, for example, increase the risk of low back disorders).
 History of back disorders (this is a predictor of future back injuries).
 Use personal protective equipment (for example, clothing and footwear).

 Risk assessment of manual handling activities

Employers are required to assess the health and safety risks resulting from working tasks and activities, and including manual
handling. A risk assessment is a careful examination of what in the work could cause harm to people. It can then be decided
whether sufficient precautions have been taken, or whether it is necessary to do more to prevent harm. The challenge is to
eliminate, or at least reduce, the potential for accidents, injury or ill health that arise from working activities and tasks.
Simple steps can be followed to carry out an effective risk assessment in the workplace:
 Look for the hazards that could cause accidents, injuries or ill health, taking into account the load, the task, the
environment and the operatory.
 Decide who might be harmed and how: evaluate the potential consequences of the hazards.
 Decide whether the existing precautions are adequate or whether more should be done find ways to reduce the risk.
 Monitor the risks, and review preventive measures.

 Correct handling techniques

1. Lifting - Before lifting the load, you should plan and prepare for the task. Make sure that:
 You know where you are going
 The area around the load is clear of obstacles
 Doors are open and there is nothing on the floor that could trip someone or make them slip
 You have a good grip on the load
 Your hands, the load and any handles are not slippery
 If you are lifting with someone else, both of you know what you are doing before you start, you should adopt the
following technique when lifting the load:
 Put your feet around the load and your body over it (if this is not feasible, try to keep your body as close possible to
the load and in front of it)
 Use the muscles of your legs when lifting
 Keep your back straight
 Pull the load as close as possible to your body
 Lift and carry the load with straight arms.

2. Pushing and pulling - Pushing and pulling handling devices such as trolleys and barrows are particularly strenuous for the
back, shoulders and arms. It is important that:
 REQUISITION

INDUSTRIAL SUPPORT FACILITIES (ISF)
Date: 11/26/2023
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 56 of 134

 Pushing and pulling is done using the body’s own weight: when pushing you should lean forward, when pulling you
should lean backward
 You have enough grip on the floor in order to lean forward/backward
 You avoid twisting, turning and bending the back
 Handling devices have handles/hand grips that you can use to exert force. Handle height should be between the shoulder and waist
so that you can push/pull in a good, neutral posture
 Handling devices are well-maintained so that the wheels run smoothly
 Floors are hard, even and free from rubbish (good housekeeping).

3. Prevention measures
The negative health effects of manual handling can be prevented by trying to eliminate or at least reduce the risk factors involved.
The following hierarchy of prevention measures should be used:

4. Elimination
First, can the work be designed and organized in such a way that manual handling can be avoided completely, or at least restricted
(e.g., using powered or mechanical handling equipment such as conveyor belts, lift trucks, electric hoists or gravity-inclined roller
track)
5. Technical measures
If manual handling cannot be avoided, automation, mechanization and the use of lifting and transport equipment should be
considered (e.g., conveyors, hoists, cranes, vacuum lifting devices, lift tables, pallet trucks, lift trucks, barrows, trolleys). However,
attention should be paid to ensure that new work risks are not created (e.g., through noise, or hand-arm vibration).

6. Organizational measures
Organizational or administrative measures should only be considered if elimination of manual handling is not possible, and if
technical measures are not effective in reducing the risks involved in manual handling. Heavy or frequent manual handling tasks
should be carried out by several people or, if possible, the amount that is handled should be reduced or the load split into smaller
ones. The rate of manual handling should not be set by a machine, supervisor or colleagues. The time taken to carry out manual
handling tasks should be extended by taking breaks, or by alternating them with other tasks so that the muscles have time to

25.4 H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide)
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) also known as hydro sulfuric acid or sewer gas, occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases,
hot springs and is produced by decomposing organic material. It is an odorless and highly flammable substance. This highly toxic
material is a common byproduct in industries such as food processing, coke ovens, tanneries, and petroleum refineries.

H2S Poisoning
Exposure to high concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide may result in loss of consciousness or in some cases, death. The substances
toxicity is caused by its effect on cellular respiration (similarly to carbon monoxide & Hydrogen cyanide).
At low concentration levels H2S is detectable (10-20 ppm) by its pungent smell. However, continued exposure may numb the sense of
smell creating the illusion that the danger has passed.

Symptoms of H2S Exposure

Low Concentrations
Exposure to low concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide may result in:
 Sore throat
 Cough shortness of breath

 Irritation of the eye, nose & throat

High Concentrations
Brief Exposure to High concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide may result in:
 Loss of consciousness
 Death

H2S Danger
Hydrogen sulfide is heavier than air and thus accumulates in pools in poorly ventilated areas. For this reason, the gas may accumulate
in high concentrations. Potential danger places are found in places where organic matter is decomposing.
Potentially dangerous sites include:
 Sewage treatment plants
 Agricultural - manure storage or livestock confinement
 Textile industries
 Petroleum or natural gas mining
 Petroleum or natural gas refining
 Landfills

Treatment of hydrogen Sulphites (H2S) exposure

Workers who are overcome by hydrogen Sulphite side must be quickly and carefully rescued to ensure that additional victims are not
created in the process. Workers who do not have the necessary protective equipment must not attempt to rescue others. Rescue
workers must be provided with, and wear, a positive pressure supplied air respirator and other personal protective equipment
appropriate to the hazards that are present. Resuscitation must be prompt and close medical supervision of the individual is required
for at least 48 hours following exposure.

First aid measures

Immediately remove the victim from further exposure. Designated rescuers must wear properly fitting, positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and other required safety equipment appropriate to the work site.
 If the worker is not breathing, apply cardio-pulmonary resuscitation in the nearest safe area.
 Remove contaminated clothing, but keep the individual warm.
 Keep conscious individuals at rest.
 Be aware of possible accompanying injuries (e.g., the victim may have fallen when they were overcome) and treat them
accordingly.
 If the victim’s eyes are red and painful, flush with large amounts of clean water for at least 15 minutes.
 Ensure the worker receives medical care as soon as possible. The worker must not be allowed to return to work or other
activities.

The following table describes the symptoms that may occur at specific H2S levels:
Concentration in parts per
Observations and health effects

Nose and throat feel dry and irritated. Eyes sting, itch, or water; and “gas eye” symptoms may
20 to 150 occur. Prolonged exposure may cause coughing, hoarseness, shortness of breath, and runny
nose.

150 to 200 Sense of smell is blocked (olfactory fatigue).

Major irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs occurs, along with headache, nausea, vomiting,
200 to 250 and dizziness. Prolonged exposure can cause fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema), which
can be fatal.

Symptoms are the same as above, but more severe. Death can occur within 1 to 4 hours of
300 to 500
exposure.

Above 500 Immediate loss of consciousness. Death is rapid, sometimes immediate.

H2S risk factors

The following factors may increase the risk of workers being exposed to unsafe levels of H2S:
 Confined spaces — Workers who enter a confined space such as a sewer or tank could be overcome by H2S.
 Smoking and other ignition sources — H2S explodes easily near lit matches, cigarettes, pipes, and other sources of spark or
intense heat. The gas can explode when its concentration in the air ranges from about 4% (40,000 ppm) to 46% (460,000
ppm).
 Worker attitude — Workers are more likely to be harmed if they don’t know the hazards of H2S, or if they’re so used to
working with H2S they become lax about safety.
 Still air — the gas can build up to unsafe levels if there is no breeze or air movement.
 Contact lenses — Workers who are exposed to H2S should be aware that wearing soft contact lenses may pose a risk. Soft
contact lenses may absorb irritants and hold irritants such as H2S against the eye.

Reducing the H2S risk

The risk of unsafe levels of H2S can be reduced with the following controls:
 Engineering — where practical, install effective exhaust ventilation.
 Isolation controls — Isolate workers from dangerous work areas.
 Regular maintenance — to lessen the risk of leaks, regularly checks pipes, valves, tanks, and containers of dangerous gases
and liquids.
 Education — Workers must be taught how to prevent and recognize H2S poisoning, and how to give first aid to those
overcome by the gas. Workers must be taught — and practice — how to use protective breathing equipment.
 Monitoring — H2S levels must be monitored where there is a risk of H2S exposure.
 Labeling and posting — Where H2S is used, collected, or produced, all piping and valves that carry the gas must be clearly
identified. Workers must also have easy access to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for H2S. Wherever an H2S leak or
buildup is possible, warning signs bearing “Hydrogen Sulfide” plus precautions must be posted just outside or at the
entrances to the area.
 Emergency plans — Where H2S is used, employers must train workers in H2S hazards, emergency procedures, escape
routes, and the location of emergency equipment and safe areas.
 Confined space precautions — Confined spaces must be tested, ventilated, and confirmed safe before workers enter them.
 Proper storage — Keep cylinders containing H2S clean, isolated, shaded, and in a ventilated area. In case of fire, remove the
cylinders (if it is safe to do so) and cool with water

25.5 NOISE SURVEY, PREVENTION AND CONTROL

1. Project/Construction Managers/Superintendents/Foremen and SINOHYDRO’s Subcontractors, when planning the work:
 ensure all equipment are well maintained, generators are noise controlled
 ensure noise monitoring/analysis is ensured for all expected for potential high noise equipment like generators with
internationally recognized
 ensure preventive maintenance on all machinery and equipment as per manufacturer’s recommendations
 shall take into account the anticipated `noise levels that persons under their control may be exposed to;
 Shall provide adequate and suitable hearing protection for the work being performed recognizing the attenuation factors of
different ear protectors and shall consider the opportunity to provide an alternative access to sensitive areas.

2. Accordingly, SINOHYDRO Site Safety Department:

 Shall ensure cross checking on all requirements are ensured and being followed
 Shall advice on the procurement of hearing protection.
 Shall carry out noise assessments where and when necessary and produce noise contour Maps with octave band
frequencies analyzed.
 Shall ensure that appropriate signs are displayed for areas where high level of noise exists.
 Prepare for toolbox talks and other training materials for briefing the workforce.

3. Instructions:
 The action point for noise on the Project is 85 dB (A), noise levels 85 dB (A) and over Shall require the provision of signs,
mandatory hearing protection and an analysis of the noise emissions.
 The maximum noise levels to which anyone may be exposed to are 115 dB (A) continuous and 135 dB (A) impulse or short
duration. This includes personnel wearing hearing protection.
 Instances where personnel are exposed to high levels of noise Shall require screening to assess if any impairment has
occurred.
 In areas where noise may interfere with communications, suitable alternative arrangements shall be in place for alerting
the work parties in the event of an emergency.
 Overleap is a table with approximate noise values associated with construction equipment, and noise limitations and
requirements.

4. Noise/ Illumination
Workplace Noise Hazard
Workplace noise hazard is excessive noise generated by work activities such as machineries, operations and processes. Typical high
noise works include machine stamping, use of pneumatic blower, grinding and machine sawing.

Excessive noise is defined as an equivalent sound pressure level of 85 dBA (decibels) or more over an 8-hr work day. If you have to
raise your voice when talking to a person who is 1 m away from you, the noise level is likely to be above 85 dBA.

Short, infrequent exposures to loud noise can cause temporary hearing loss. However, prolonged exposures to excessive noise can
cause permanent hearing loss/noise-induced deafness (NID) which is irreversible.

How to Manage Workplace Noise Hazard and Prevent NID?

Before starting any work, which has the potential to generate excessive noise, a risk assessment should be conducted to determine the
risk of noise exposure, and measures should be taken to minimize the risk.

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 60 of 134

To effectively manage noise hazard, workplaces with workers exposed to excessive noise should implement a Hearing Conservation
Program (HCP). The basic components of an HCP include:
 Identification of noise hazard and evaluation of noise risks. If 10 or more employees are exposed or likely to be exposed to
excessive noise at your workplace, you should appoint a competent person (Noise Monitoring Officer) to conduct noise
monitoring once every 3 years, or earlier when there are significant changes to machineries, equipment or processes.

 Noise control
If 50 or more employees are exposed or likely to be exposed to excessive noise, you should appoint a competent person
(Noise Control Officer) to advice on proper noise control measures.
 Hearing protection
Employees who are exposed to excessive noise should be provided with suitable hearing protectors such as earplugs or
earmuffs.

Control of Noise Processes

Some of the noise control measures which can be implemented to reduce employees’ exposure to excessive noise include:
 Specify low noise machineries and equipment during purchase.
 Perform periodic maintenance of the machineries and equipment, including replacement of worn parts, adjustment of loose
parts and lubrication of moving parts.
 Relocate noisy machineries and processes to a lesser or non-occupied area.
 Locate noise sources away from hard reflective surfaces, and from the corner of a room.
 Minimize the number of noisy machineries running at any one time.
 Provide and ensure usage of hearing protectors to reduce noise exposure before engineering and administrative controls are
administered, or when controls are not feasible.
 In addition, the following control measures are recommended for the common noisy processes:

Grinding
 Use low noise, flexible grinding discs.
 Use grinding machines with an automatic balancing system.
 Operate the grinding tool at an optimal speed recommended by the manufacturer.
 Select the correct grinding disc for the intended usage.

Pneumatic Blowing
 Replace existing nozzles with low-noise air nozzles.
 Fit silencers or pressure regulators at the exhaust.
 Reduce the air pressure to a level appropriate for the intended usage.

ii. Power Tools

Portable power tools are divided into four primary groups according to the power sources; Electric, Pneumatic, Internal
combustion, and cartridge (powder actuated).

The tools are used exclusively for penetration work and cutting. A portable power tool presents similar hazards as a stationary
machine of the same kind. Typical injuries caused by portable power tools are burns, shock, particle in the eyes, fires, falls,
explosion of gases, and falling tools.

The extreme mobility of power-driven tools can easily come in contact with the operator’s body. At the same time, it is difficult
to guard such equipment completely.

All companies and manufacturers of portable power tools attach to each tool, a set of safety rules for operating the
equipment safely. It is every individual’s responsibility to read the manufacturer’s instruction before operating any power tools.
This data to be prominently displayed either on a name plate of the power tools or kept in a file for power tools.

All portable power tools used on site Shall be of good quality, free from any defects, all power tools Shall be double insulated or
used in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit interrupter (GFCI). Power tools Shall not exceed 125volts and conform to
standard lay down in the Aramco Construction Safety Manual Section 11, Chapter 10.3. Handheld power tools having the
capability of being locked in the “ON” position must have this ability neutralized. Lock-on buttons may be removed or the tool
may be re-wired by a competent electrician.

a) A periodic inspection of all power tools Shall be conducted by an Electrical Supervisor to ensure proper maintenance
b) Rotating tools such as grinders Shall be switched off and held until rotation has completely stopped before they are set
down. All portable power tools Shall be equipped with properly functioning "dead man" switch
c) Only competent persons Shall be allowed to operate portable power tools
d) Frayed cords or damage plugs Shall be promptly removed from use and replaced
e) ONLY the designated competent maintenance personnel Shall repair defective power tool
f) No grinder Shall be used without a guard properly in place. A grinder without a guard Shall be immediately removed
from the site. All grinders Shall be marked with the designated maximum running speed and must be ensured that the
maximum speed of the spindle does not at any time exceed the maximum speed marked on the grinding disc or wheel.
g) Electrical hand tools, power cords and outlets must be kept dry and shall not be used unless protected with GFCI.
h) Extension cords Shall be of three-wire conductor type and shall be kept as short as possible. Cords which are subject to
physical damage such as when laid across roads and access ways, shall be appropriately protected or where possible,
rerouted.
i) Use both hands, have good footing and be comfortable. Do not try to operate power tools while in a bind, be ready to
release the power switch or trigger.
j) Keep all loose-fitting clothing as well as hair clear of rotating parts on tools and equipment’s.
k) Use proper eye/ face protection, inform people around you to protect themselves from possible flying objects.
l) Keep tools in peak condition. Don’t force the tools or use “cheaters” to increase working
m) Limit beyond the capacity of the tools. Don’t abuse tools; use them properly.

i. Pneumatic Tools

Only trained personnel Shall be allowed to operate pneumatic tools such as an impact wrench, jack hammer, chipping
hammer, etc. The tool is fitted into the gun and receives its impact from a rapidly moving reciprocating piston driven by
compressed air at about 90 psi pressure.

Handling of heavy jackhammers causes fatigue and strain. Two chippers should work away from each other, that is, back-to-
back, to prevent face cuts from flying chips. Workers should not point a pneumatic hammer at anyone, nor should they
stand in front of operators handling pneumatic hammers.

Many accidents are caused, because the operator may lose balance and fall when operating the jackhammer. Follow the
Safety precautions prior to use.

a) Those connections Shall be made by a proper hose coupler and additionally secured by safety wire.
b) Pneumatic tools when used at elevated locations Shall be tied off with a string against a stable structure or support
to hold the tools in the event of accidental fall or loss of control of the operator
c) The operator Shall ensure a firm grip and control of pneumatic tools during the operation.
d) Hearing protection (ear plugs) Shall be worn by the operator and affected personnel where the use of pneumatic
tools creates a high noise condition.

ii. Inspection of Tools

All hand tools, power tools and pneumatic tools Shall be inspected before and after use and before storage. Any defective
tool Shall be immediately withdrawn from use, marked "DO NOT USE" and returned to store room for necessary repair or
disposal. Sinohydro store keeper Shall check every returned tool and ensure that defective ones are plainly identified and
isolated from the others. He Shall also ensure that complete records of tools issued, repaired or disposed of is available for
inspection.

The monthly safety inspection color code to be implemented by a competent person as per applicable tools and
equipment’s Shall be referenced on the following.

32 Ladders.

Contractor and its Subcontractors will provide and ensure that only metal or timber ladders of Saudi Aramco approved types
(compliance with CSM Section II-3) are provided to ensure a safe means of access and egress to the work place.

32.1 GENERAL

Portable ladders and stepladders shall meet applicable ANSI or European (EN) standards, including proper labelling and
marking. It shall be understood that “American Standard” is not a proper label and may indicate a substandard ladder. Self-
supporting portable ladders shall be rated to support at least four times the maximum intended load. Portable ladders and
stepladders shall be maintained in good condition at all times. Joints shall be tight. Rungs, hardware and fittings shall be
securely attached. Movable parts shall operate freely without binding or excessive looseness.

Portable ladders and stepladders shall be inspected before each use. Damaged or weakened ladders shall be immediately
removed from project sites. Examples of unacceptable damage include:

 Split or broken side rails

 Missing or damaged rungs.
 Bent or missing hinges.
 Any other damage that hinders safe use of the ladder.

Wood and aluminium portable ladders and stepladders shall not be painted. Side rails shall have smooth surfaces (without
slivers) with no projections. Ladder rungs (or steps) shall be parallel, level and be uniformly spaced. Rungs shall be between
25 cm (10 inches) and 36 cm (14 inches) on center. A rung spacing of 30 cm (12 inches) is preferable. Minimum clear distance
between straight ladder side rails, or side rails in any section of an extension ladder, shall be 29 cm (11-1/2 inches). Rungs of
portable metal ladders shall be corrugated, knurled, dimpled, coated with skid-resistant material or otherwise treated to
minimize the possibility of slipping. Ladders shall be maintained free of oil, grease or other potential slipping hazards.

32.2 POSITIONING

Straight ladders and extension ladders shall be placed at a slope of 4:1 (i.e., for every 4 m [12 ft] of vertical rise, the base is set
1 m [3 ft] out). Straight ladders and extension ladders shall be placed vertically only if both side rails are rigidly attached to a
supporting structure (e.g., scaffold) at the top, middle and bottom of the ladder.

Ladders shall extend at least 1 m (3 ft) above the landing surface to which the ladder is used to gain access (e.g., platform,
eave or roof). Bases of ladders shall be equally supported on a firm level surface. Boxes, blocks, barrels, etc., and temporary
work platforms (e.g., scaffolds) shall not be used as a means of support.

Ladders shall not be used on slippery surfaces unless secured or provided with slip-resistant feet. Slip-resistant feet shall not
be used as a substitute for care in positioning, securing or holding a ladder that is used on slippery surfaces when
unavoidable. Bottom rungs of ladders shall not be more than 30 cm (1 ft) above the lower level used to mount the ladder. The
area at the base of a ladder shall be kept clear.

movement. When secure fixing at the top of the ladder is impractical, other measures shall be taken to prevent movement of
the ladder (e.g., securing the base of the ladder, using side guys, stationing personnel at the base).

Flagmen shall be stationed around the ladder base or substantial barricades with flashers erected when a ladder could be
struck by moving vehicles or equipment.

When a ladder is positioned in front of or near a doorway, the door shall either be locked shut or secured in the open
position, with a man stationed there to prevent personnel from using the door.

32.3 LADDER CLEARANCES.

Safe clearances shall be maintained to prevent personnel from bumping into or snagging onto projecting objects while
ascending or descending a ladder. Ladders shall have a minimum clear perpendicular distance of 76 cm (30 inches) from the
rungs to the nearest projecting object on the climbing side. When unavoidable obstructions are encountered, the minimum
clearance distance may be reduced to 61 cm (24 inches) if deflector plates are provided. The perpendicular distance between
ladder rungs/steps and any obstruction behind the ladder shall not be less than 18 cm (7 inches). The minimum clearance to
the nearest fixed object on each side of the ladder shall be 38 cm (15 inches) from the center line of the ladder. The minimum
clear distance between the side rails of adjacent ladders or stepladders shall be 41 cm (16 inches).

32.4 USAGE

attached stating that the ladder shall not be used near electrical equipment.

Aluminium ladders shall not be used where there is a likelihood of contact with materials that chemically react with
aluminium, such as caustic liquids, damp lime, wet cement, acids, etc.

Ladder sections shall not be spliced, lashed, tied or fastened together to provide longer sections. Personnel shall ensure that
their shoes and the ladder are free from grease, oil, mud, etc., before climbing a ladder. Only one person shall be on a
portable ladder or stepladder at a time. Personnel shall face the ladder and maintain three points of contact with the ladder
at all times. This requires two feet and one hand, or two hands and one foot, to be in contact with the ladder rungs and/or
side rails when climbing or descending a ladder.

Hands shall be free of materials while climbing or descending a ladder. Personnel shall not carry tools and materials in their
hands when climbing a ladder. Tools may be carried in secure pockets or on special tool belts.
Materials or tools shall be raised and lowered by rope. If work is performed while standing on a ladder and the individual is
more than 1.8 m (6 ft) above the ground/lower surface, a properly anchored personal fall arrest system shall be used, or if use
of a persona; fall arrest system is impractical one hand shall always be firmly grasping the ladder.

If the work is more than 1.8 m (6 ft) above the ground/lower surface and is long term in nature or requires heavy physical
exertion, other methods such as a scaffold or personnel lift shall be used instead of a ladder. The user of a ladder shall not
overextend his body (i.e., belt buckle [torso]) past the ladder side rails.
Ladders shall not be moved, shifted or extended while personnel are on the ladder.

20 ampere receptacle outlets, which are not part of the permanent wiring of any building or structure Shall have
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) for personal protection.
Every piece of electrical equipment is a potential source of electric shock. Even through an electric shock is too small
to cause injury it may trigger an involuntary reaction that results in physical injury; for example, after touching a live
wire, a person may lose his balance and fall off a ladder or scaffolding.
Obviously, design, layout, installation, and preventive maintenance programs can minimize such incidents on live or
‘hot’ electrical equipment. An effective electrical safety policy coupled with an employee training and hazard
awareness program can further prevent electrical shocks.
To minimize electrical related injuries, it is important to follow basic safety precautions to avoid such an accident. All
temporary electrical installations and equipment on the project Shall conform to Saudi Aramco CSM and National
Electrical Code (NEC).

Voltage specifications for the job Shall be 110 volts. 220 volts Shall not be considered for any construction tools.

electrician, of hand-held power tools, GFCI units, all electrical equipment/boards, outlets, extension cords, table
saws, appliances, and etc. is required monthly. It is understood a color scheme has been provided and this
requirement is subject to change.

33.1.1 Minimum safety measures that Sinohydro Shall ensure on the project include but not limited to the
following:

- Power sources and portable electric power tools shall be of a single voltage (220 V nominal) within a
single job site or operating area. Portable electric power tools shall match the supplied power source

Construction Plant and Equipment.

The sub-contractor shall supply all items of plant and equipment necessary to perform the work
and shall maintain all items in good order.

Sino hydro HSE team Shall inspect items of plant or equipment brought to site by the sub-
contractor for use on the project. If Sinohydro HSE team form the opinion that any item is
inadequate, faulty, and unsafe or in any other way unsuitable for the safe and satisfactory execution
of the work for which it is intended, the sub-contractor and the Contractor shall forthwith remove
the item from the site and replace it with a safe and adequate substitute.

Machine Guarding.

Sinohydro and Sub contractor Shall make sure all the machine rotating parts Shall be fully secured
and protection guards Shall be fixed as per manufacturer design to prevent the hazards.

Hazardous Machine Parts: All machines consist of three fundamental areas; the point of operation, the
power transmission apparatus, and other moving parts.

Each of these components can present hazards that require safeguarding:

 The Point of Operation: The point on the machine where work is performed on the material.

 Power Transmission Apparatus: All components of the mechanical system which transmit energy to
the part of the machine performing the work.

 Other moving parts: All parts of the machine that move while the machine is working. Machine
Guarding Requirements Safeguards must be installed and maintained so that they meet these minimum
general requirements:

 Prevent Contact: A good safeguarding system eliminates the possibility of the operator or another
worker placing parts of their bodies near hazardous moving parts.

 Secure: Operators should not be able to easily remove or tamper with the safeguard, because a
safeguard that can easily be removed and made ineffective is no safeguard at all.

 Protect from Falling Objects: The guard should ensure that no objects can fall into moving parts. A
small tool which is dropped into a machine could easily become a projectile that could strike and injure
someone.

 Create No Interference: Any guard that impedes an operator from performing the job quickly and
comfortably might soon be overridden or disregarded.

 Allow Safe Lubrication: Operators shall be able to lubricate the machine without removing the guards.

The Company has established the following rules for the protection of all employees and non-employees who may be on our
premises or working with our employees.

3. Employees with Hazardous/Dangerous Duties

If the employee’s job requires the operation of powered, hazardous, or dangerous equipment or vehicles, or is otherwise hazardous
or dangerous, the employee must immediately notify his immediate supervisor or the Human Resources Department, prior to
commencing any work of the following:

a) Whether he is using any prescription or over-the-counter medication that may cause drowsiness, ability to concentrate and/or
focus, light-headedness or dizziness, or any other symptom that could impair the employee’s ability to properly and safely
operate the equipment or vehicle or to perform hazardous/dangerous duties, or that contains a caution about or prohibition
against operating equipment or vehicles;

b) Whether he has any condition (such as lack of adequate sleep, fatigue, side effects of alcohol or drug consumption, anxiety,
stress, distraction due to personal problems, or impairment of the employee’s physical or mental fitness for duty for any
reason), and regardless of whether the employee is or is not taking prescription or over-the-counter medication for same, if
the employee’s current physical or mental condition could impair the employee’s ability to properly and safely operate the
equipment or vehicle or to perform hazardous/dangerous duties;

c) Whether he has any physical or medical condition that normally requires medical and/or personal monitoring, special diet, or
the use of mitigating or assistance devices (other than ordinary eyeglasses and contact lenses)

4. All Employees

a) Contagious/Communicable/Infectious Illnesses/Diseases.

If any employee learns that he may have a contagious, communicable, or infectious illness or disease of a temporary nature (such as
influenza, staph infection, measles, chicken pox, SARS or severe acute respiratory syndrome, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis A and
B, colds, Avian or bird flu, swine flu, and other viruses), the employee is not to report to work, but is required instead to
immediately notify the Human Resources Department by phone of the situation and for further guidance and instructions. If
any employee learns that another employee may have a contagious, communicable, or infectious illness or disease of a
temporary nature, the employee who learns of this information is to immediately notify the Human Resources Department.
b) Safety Threat.

If any employee believes that he or any other employee may constitute a risk of serious harm to the safety or health of the
employee or others (e.g., physical or mental impairment to safely function in the workplace and safely perform essential job
duties, threats or acts of violence, suicidal thoughts or acts, etc.), the employee is to immediately notify the Human Resources
Department of the situation and for further guidance and instructions.

5. Procedure

In the event of a disclosure required by this policy or if the Company has reasonable cause to believe that an employee may pose a
risk of harm to the health or safety of the employee or others, the Company Shall evaluate the situation to determine if the
employee is fit for duty and/or might cause a significant risk of substantial harm to self or others. The Company may require a
statement from the employee’s health care provider that the employee’s continued employment poses no significant risk to
the health or welfare of the employee, other employees, or third parties, and such other information as may be relevant. In
addition, the Company may require a fitness for duty and/or direct threat/safety evaluation by the employee’s or a Company-
designated health care provider.

If the Company determines that the employee is not fit for duty and/or may pose a significant risk of substantial harm to self or
others, the Company may remove the employee from work, assign other duties that the employee is able to safely perform,
place the employee on temporary leave, and/or take such other action as may be appropriate.

Employees Shall not be denied access to the workplace solely on the grounds that they have a contagious, communicable, or
infectious illness or disease. However, the Company reserves the right to exclude a person with such a medical condition from
workplace facilities and contact with others if the Company finds that, based on a medical determination, such restriction is
necessary for the welfare of the person who has the medical condition or if necessary for the health and welfare of others.

44. Permit to Work System

The Permit to Work system (PTW) is a written document that authorizes personnel to carry out the non-routine work, with
prior identification of the possible Hazards and the required precautions for the job to be carried out safely.

The PTW is a key element in ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to ensure the safety of personnel working within
the project, but it Shall rely on everyone involved to make the system work properly effectively. The objective of the
system can be achieved if ALL personnel connected with the task comply fully with the permit to work system. 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.

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

Essential features of a permit-to-work are:

• Clear identification of who may authorize particular jobs (and any limits to their authority) and who is responsible for
specifying the necessary precautions (e.g., isolation, air testing, emergency arrangements etc.).

• Provisions for ensuring that Sinohydro engaged to carry out work are included.

• Training and instruction in the issue of permits.

• Sinohydro Shall train and assign Work Permit Receivers, Issuer and / or gas testers, as appropriate shall have successfully
completed the certification exams conducted by SA Training and Career Development or in house training through SA approved
3rd party training center.

• Non- S a u d i Aramco contractors Shall be certified by Projects Review and Coordination Division, Saudi Affairs Service
Department as stated in SA GI 887.000

"THE ISSUE OF THE PERMIT DOES NOT, BY ITSELF, MAKE A JOB SAFE"

human occupancy, where entry, movement within, or exit is restricted. Use Saudi Aramco
form 924-4 (GREEN)
 A properly completed Confined Space Entry Permit shall be obtained to enter excavations equal
to or greater than 1.2 m (4 ft.) deep.
 A confined space entry permit shall be issued in accordance with GI 2.100 prior to entry into a
confined space located within a SA operated facility or at a project site after hydrocarbons have
been introduced. Other permits may be required (E.g. hot work permit or cold work permit),
depending on the type of work to be conducted within the confined space.
 Every job that requires a confined space entry shall have a designated confined space entry
supervisor (CSES).
 A standby man shall be assigned by the CSES at each designated entry point and shall
continuously monitor the confined space entry while personnel are inside the confined space.
In certain situations (E.g. multiple entry/exit points) more than one confined space standby
man is required.
 At least one fire extinguisher (30 lb.) shall be provided near each designated confined space entry
point if the space is where combustible or flammable material may be present (including
residue). Carbon dioxide (CO2) type fire extinguishers shall not be used inside enclosed
confined spaces.
 A confined space entry checklist shall be used by the CSES to help ensure safety requirements are
met.
 The completed work permit(s) (E.g. confined space entry, hot work), confined space warning
signs and barricades shall be posted outside the confined space to notify personnel that a
confined space entry is in progress and to prohibit entry by unauthorized personnel.
 When the potential exists for persons or objects to fall into a confined space, additional warning
signs and/or barricades shall be provided.
 Prior to entry, chemical and physical hazards shall be eliminated or controlled by one or more of
the following methods: equipment isolation (E.g., lockout/tag out), draining, water washing,
steam cleaning, purging, etc.

evacuation of the confined space.
 If the confined space entry activity is suspended, the entry point(s) shall be barricaded and a “NO
ENTRY” sign shall be posted.

Confined Space Supervisor (Entry Supervisor)

A trained competent person whose position is not less than a supervisor in the organization. Confined Space Supervisor
will be the one controlling the activities inside the confined space and who can decide whether the confined space is a
permit required confined space or not.

The issuer and receiver are jointly responsible for the safety of personnel and equipment in
the area. The issuer is responsible for specifying precautions so that the work can be done
without injury or loss. The
receiver is responsible for performing the work in accordance with the conditions and
requirements agreed upon with the issuer and specified in the work permit.
Before issuing the work permit all necessary actions to approve the proposed work
and/or possible configuration changes must be completed. The issuer must verify that the
receiver's certificate is valid and
approved for the type of work to be done: (i.e., hot work, confined space entry, cold
work, release of hazardous liquids or gases, or a combination of these).
The receiver requests the work permits from the operations supervisor of the facility (i.e.,
the issuer); and can complete the initiation part of the work permit form. The initiation part
of the work permit includes the
information section from the top of the form, to the section titled "Equipment used
at the site". The receiver must participate in any joint site inspection that is conducted.
The issuer Shall issue the work permit after he (or his designated representative) has
conducted a joint site inspection with the receiver as appropriate, performed the
necessary gas tests, listed applicable precautions and restrictions, and reviewed all aspects
of the job with the receiver.
Renewal of the work permit is permissible for two consecutive operating shifts. The renewal
requires the signatures of both the issuer and the receiver coming on shift. Normally, the
period covered by one work
permit shall not exceed 16 consecutive hours.

Certification of issuers and receivers of work permits

Work permit courses are conducted by the Loss Prevention Department. The purpose of the courses is to

acquaint potential issuers/receivers/gas testers with the work permit system, to administer written tests

construction, maintenance and inspection of plant and equipment must be carried out with full regard to safety of personnel and
equipment. The permit to work is used to specify the detailed condition of work and must be strictly observed.

45. Heat Stress

Four environmental factors affect the amount of stress a worker faces in a hot work area: temperature, humidity, radiant heat
(such as from the sun or a furnace) and air velocity. Perhaps most important to the level of stress an individual faces are personal
characteristics such as age, weight, fitness, medical condition and acclimatization to the heat.

The body reacts to high external temperature by circulating blood to the skin which increases skin temperature and allows the
body to give off its excess heat through the skin. However, if the muscles are being used for physical labor, less blood is available
to flow to the skin and release the heat. No work allowed During Summer restricted hours working under the direct sun light
from 12:00 to 15:00 hours from 15th Jun to 15 Sep as per SAG (Ministry of Labor Law).

Heat-related illnesses

a) Heat rash (plugged sweat glands)

b) Heat cramps (sweating has caused salt loss)
c) Heat exhaustion
d) Heat stroke (very serious— fatal)
45.1.1 Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is when your body cannot keep blood flowing both to vital organs and to the skin for cooling.

Symptoms:
a) Weakness, feeling faint
b) Headache
c) Breathlessness
d) Nausea or vomiting
e) Difficulty continuing work.
Treatment:

Get medical aid and cool down (move to a shaded area, loosen clothing, drink cool water). It takes 30
minutes at least to cool the body down from heat exhaustion, and if it’s not treated promptly, it can lead to
heat stroke.

45.1.2 Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. We can die from it. Body has used up all its water and salt and cannot
cool itself. Body temperature rises to dangerous levels.

Symptoms:

a) Confusion and irrational behavior

b) Convulsions
c) Unconsciousness
d) No sweating—hot, dry skin
e) High body temperature—40°C or more.

Treatment:

If a co-worker shows symptoms of heat stroke, the respondent should act fast.

a) Call the local emergency number or get the worker to a hospital.

b) Take aggressive steps to cool the worker down (immerse in a tub of cool water or cool shower, spray
with a hose, wrap in cool, wet sheets and fan rapidly).
c) If the worker is unconscious, don’t give anything to drink.
45.1.3 Ways to Prevent Heat Stress

a) Drink plenty of cool water (one small cup every 15-20 minutes)
b) Wear light, loose-fitting, breathable (like cotton) clothing.
c) Take your breaks away from heat sources or direct sunlight. (Allow your body to cool down).
d) Avoid eating large meals before working in hot environments.

Page 126 of 134

e) Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages (these beverages make the body lose water and increase the
risk for heat illnesses).

46. Stop Work Authority (SWA)

This program formally establishes the Stop Work Authority (SWA) of all Company employees to suspend individual
tasks or group operations when the control of HSE risk is not clearly established or understood.

It is the policy of Company that:

a) All employees and have the authority and obligation to stop any task or operation where concerns or
questions regarding the control of HSE risk exist.
b) No work Shall resume until all stop work issues and concerns have been adequately addressed, and
c) Any form of retribution or intimidation directed at any individual or company for exercising their
authority as outlined in this program Shall not be tolerated.

46.1.1 Roles and Responsibilities

a. Employees

In supporting safe execution of work, all personnel, have the following responsibilities:

 The responsibility and authority to stop work or decline to perform an assigned task without fear of reprisal, to
discuss and resolve work and safety concerns. The Stop Work may include discussions with co-workers, supervision,
or safety representative to resolve work related issues, address potential unsafe conditions, clarify work instructions,
propose additional controls, etc.

 The responsibility and authority to initiate a Stop Work IMMEDIATELY, without fear of reprisal, when the employee
believes a situation exists which places himself, a coworker(s), or the environment in danger or at risk.

 The responsibility to report any activity or condition the employee believes is unsafe or for which they have initiated
a Stop Work. Notification should be made to the affected worker(s) and to the supervisor or their supervisor’s
designee at the location where the activity or condition exists.

b. Management / Supervisor / Person-in-Charge

Management and supervision are committed to promptly resolve issues resulting from an employee-raised Stop
Work. Management (e.g., Directors, Managers, and Supervisors) responsibilities are to:

 Resolve any issues that have resulted in an individual stopping a specific task(s) or activity.
 Notify the employer’s Safety Representative and the Client Safety Representative, when bargaining unit personnel are
affected, if a raised stop work issue has not been resolved.
 Ensure no actions are taken as reprisal or retribution against individuals who raise safety concerns or stop an activity,
they believe is unsafe.
 If a stop work is not brought up by a bargaining unit employee, but does impact bargaining unit personnel, then also
notify the union safety representative.
c. Safety Representatives

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 127 of 134

HSE in support of operations is responsible for monitoring compliance with the requirements of this program,
maintenance of associated documents, processes and training materials, identification of trends, sharing of learning
and publication of required scorecards.

 Assist employees, supervision and management in the resolution of safety issues and concerns.
 Immediately contact management and work to resolve issues when an employee has called a situation to their
attention that has not been resolved.
 Discuss resolution with employees involved in a work stoppage where resolution was completed after their shift or
when they were unavailable, or where he/she acted as their representative in reaching resolution.
 Work as the agent of an employee that prefers to remain anonymous to work directly in the resolution of the stop
work.

46.1.2 Intervention Protocol

In general terms, the SWA process involves a stop, notify, correct and resume approach for the resolution of a
perceived unsafe work actions or conditions.

Much like behavior-based safety processes, a workforce that clearly understands how to initiate, receive and respond
to a “stop work” intervention is more likely to participate. Though obvious to some, the following protocol creates an
environment where people know how to act and respond.

Though situations may differ, the following steps should be the framework for all stop work interventions.
Steps:

When a person identifies a perceived unsafe condition, act, error, omission, or lack of understanding that could result
1.
in an undesirable event, a “stop work intervention Shall be immediately initiated with the person(s) potentially at risk.
If the supervisor is readily available and the affected person(s) are not in immediate risk, the “stop work action”
2. should be coordinated through the supervisor. If the supervisor is not readily available or the affected person(s) are
in immediate risk, the “stop work” intervention should be initiated directly with those at risk.
“Stop work” interventions should be initiated in a positive manner by briefly introducing yourself and starting a
3. conversation with the phrase “I am using my stop work authority because…”. Using this phrase Shall clarify the user’s
intent and set expectations as detailed in this procedure.
Notify all affected personnel and supervision of the stop work issue. If necessary, stop associated work activities,
4.
remove person(s) from the area, stabilize the situation and make the area as safe as possible.
5. All parties Shall discuss and gain agreement on the stop work issue.
If determined and agreed that the task or operation is OK to proceed as is (i.e., the stop work initiator was unaware of
6. certain facts or procedures) the affected persons should thank the initiator for their concern and proceed with the
work.
If determined and agreed that the stop work issue is valid, then every attempt should be made to resolve the issue to
7.
all affected person’s satisfaction prior to the commencement of work.
8. If the stop work issue cannot be resolved immediately, work Shall be suspended until proper resolution is achieved.

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN
Page 128 of 134

When opinions differ regarding the validity of the stop work issue or adequacy of the resolution actions, the location’s
“person in charge” Shall make the final determination. Details regarding differences of opinion and resolution actions
should be included in the documented report.
Positive feedback should be given to all affected employees regarding resolution of the stop work issue. Under no
9. circumstances should retribution be directed at any person(s) who exercise in good faith their stop work authority as
detailed in this program.
10. All stop work interventions and associated detail Shall be documented and reported as detailed in this program.

46.1.3 Follow-up

It is the desired outcome of any ‘stop work’ intervention that the identified safety concerns be addressed to the satisfaction of all
involved persons prior to the resumption of work. Although most issues can be adequately resolved in a timely fashion at the job
site, occasionally additional investigation and corrective actions may be required to identify and address root causes.

“Stop Work” interventions that required additional investigation or follow-up Shall be handled utilizing existing protocols and
procedures for incident investigation and follow-up.

46.1.4 Recognition

In order to build and reinforce a culture in which SWA is freely exercised and accepted, line supervisors are encouraged to
positively recognize employee and contractor participation in the program.

Minimally, each line supervisor should informally recognize individuals when they exercise their authority to “stop work” or
demonstrate constructive participation in a “stop work” intervention. This informal recognition need be no more than an
expression of appreciation for a job well done or the awarding of a nominal item (hat, gloves, flashlight, gift certificates, etc.) of
recognition.

The HSE department Shall regularly publish selected “stop work” actions that occurred throughout the company, recognizing
those responsible for their support of the SWA program and contribution to HSE continuous improvement.

46.1.5 Training

Training regarding this SWA Policy and Program Shall be conducted as part of all new employee and contractor orientations.
Additionally, a review of the SWA Policy Shall be completed as part of all field location safety briefings and regularly in safety
meetings.

39. General Safety Rules

Common sense and good judgment must be present in the application of our daily activities. Sinohydro Shall at all times comply with
and ensure that its employees, subcontractors and visitors comply with applicable Saudi Govt. Safety Regulations and all Saudi
Aramco’s Safety and Loss Prevention rules and Regulations.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, safety spectacles and safety shoes are mandatory for all personnel at all work
locations. Ear protection (ear plugs), respirators, face shields and similar personal protection Shall be worn whenever required.
46.1.6 Full body harness Shall be worn when working in elevated areas 6 feet and above, without complete guardrails.

46.1.7 No activity Shall take place in a restricted area unless a signed work permit is obtained by the Sinohydro work permit receiver

40. Incident Reporting & Investigation

We are often able to identify future hazard areas and apply preventive measures through analysis of previous accidents.
However, effective remedial action can only be applied when the basic problem is clearly defined by investigation and submission
of detailed factual reports. The evaluation of these facts and the real cause of any accident Shall assist in directing our accident
prevention activity in the most efficient way.

Sinohydro Shall ensure that an immediate oral report to SAPMT and preliminary written reports (PIR with in 24hrs and final
report shall be submitted with in 72hours) is made to the Company Representative in the case of all:
 Fatal injuries or illnesses
 Injuries requiring medical attention which result in lost time
 Damage over SR10,000 to Sinohydro plant or equipment
 Damage, in any amount, to SAUDI ARAMCO equipment or property Fires
 Damage and all accidents involving cranes and heavy equipment (GI. 6.000, Cranes and Heavy
Equipment Accident Reporting Procedures).
For accidents resulting in Sinohydro employee fatality, serious injury to Sinohydro employee(s), or damage
to Saudi Aramco equipment or property, a written report where applicable Shall be submitted promptly to
the Company Representative. In addition, Saudi Aramco may convene an engineering review or
investigation committee in accordance with the requirements of GI. 6.000, Notification Requirements for
Incidents (Including Fires); and GI. 6.000, Guide for Committees Investigating Major Incidents and
Engineering Reviews of Other Incidents.

Sinohydro Shall maintain, in a format approved by the Company representative, a current record showing
all:

 Damage and all accidents involving cranes and heavy equipment (GI. 6.000, Cranes and Heavy
Equipment Accident Reporting Procedures)

This record Shall be available for inspection at all reasonable times and shall be submitted to Saudi Aramco
upon request. (As reference: Section I-3, Accident Investigation, Analysis and Reporting of the Saudi Aramco
Construction Safety Manual).

c. Investigation

Incident that results in property damage or serious injuries to personnel and hospitalization of two or more
employees must be fully investigated and reported. Unless the real cause is known, the hazard cannot be
controlled in the future. The near miss incident is equally important from the point of view of prevention
and should be thoroughly investigated. The responsibility to investigate all accidents, incidents and to
submit reports and recommend corrective action is incumbent on the site safety supervisor.

Accident investigative techniques:

 Visit the scene of the incident and examine any plant or equipment for damage or misuse.
 Question witness about what happened, how it happened and why.
 Question any injured person when possible.
 Ascertain the events that led to the incidents and any irregularities in the operations.
 Describe the operation that was taking place and the sequence of events which led to the incident.
 Assist the site Safety Supervisor to examine any plant or equipment involved in the accident and to
question witnesses

Accident investigative techniques are many and all may be successfully employed in varying circumstances,
the overriding factor, however, must always be that accident investigation is to determine the cause and
preventive requirements not to apportion blame.

41. Night Work/Extended Hours Work
