Topic 7. INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS

The communication of relevant H&S related information among various levels and functions of RSG may be done
through inductions, bulletin boards, communication posters, behavior observations, suggestion boxes, newsletters, work
team briefings, Project H&S meetings, H&S Department meetings, team building meetings, milestone celebrations and
feedback sheets. The choice of communication and consultation methods remains with the H&S Director and may vary
on a case-by-case basis.
7.1 Enterprise Level
7.1.1 Company Announcements

A primary source of daily or weekly communications distributed through email to all company employees from Internal
Communications Department. The H&S department utilizes this media source to distribute frequent H&S requirements
or information. 7.1.2 Company Intranet Site - H&S Digital Communications Board/Page

A primary source of communication for RSG is the Intranet Site where RSG communicates daily to all employees and
houses information on safe work practices and procedures, hazard assessments and information including statistical
performance, weather station monitoring (heat stress), etc.
This platform is also used to provide the most current statistical H&S updates on individual masterplans and projects.
7.1.3 Email

The purpose of email communication is largely to provide valuable new information, clarify goals, strengthen
accountability and prevent misunderstandings at the workplace. Email serves as an effective way to send one-way
messages or engage in multiple interactions with all RSG employees. This communication channel shall be used by RSG
to make it easier to share information online and collaborate with team members.
7.1.4 Townhall Meetings

Townhalls are a critical part of engaging employees. Also known as all-hands meetings or all-staff meetings, they bring
together an entire company to discuss important topics and align everyone to a common goal. RSG shall use interactive
elements to promote twoway conversations between managers and employees via townhall meetings. Typically, the
townhall meetings shall be hosted by RSG Senior Management and attended by all employees. The meetings will be held
to align both company employees’ goals, close gaps between company and employees, and build company culture.
7.2 Construction & Operations
7.2.1 H&S Communication Meetings

H&S Communication Meetings are either “stand alone” H&S meetings OR are included as a mandatory meeting segment
within meetings which are owned by other RSG departments/teams.

Furthermore, all meetings with over 5 employees in attendance shall start with a "Safety Moment". A safety moment is
a brief discussion on a safety-related topic is often used in work environments that may present risk to workers, such as
industrial or construction settings. They are designed to remind employees about safe practices and issues related to
safety. Safety moments often cover topics such as how to prevent dangerous falls, lift heavy loads safely or avoid
hearing loss in the workplace.

In addition to informing employees about specific safety issues, they also aim to contribute to a corporate safety culture
that values and reinforces safe practices. Safety moments may even include tips for overall safety outside the workplace.
They are often told as a narrative, such a true story about a safety related incident.
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
The following are a list of H&S Communications Meetings, either H&S Meeting or H&S Segment in the meeting which
shall be conducted in accordance with RSG’s Contractor H&S Requirements:

• Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS) Management Meeting
• Progress and Health & Safety Meetings

• Executive Management Walks
7.2.2 Health and Safety Signage and Communication Boards

Health and Safety Boards include information pertaining to workplace inspections, H&S newsletters, copies of Safety
legislation, alerts, emergency numbers, members of the Joint Health and Safety Committees, trained First Aiders, etc.
Access points and site rules shall be pictorial, available in multiple languages and shall be clearly displayed on the site.
Directional and informative signboards shall be suitably determined and installed within the site area in accordance with
local jurisdiction and relevant authority safety regulations. The health and safety boards will be in prominent locations in
all workplaces of the company.

7.2.3 H&S Alerts, Bulletins, Best Practices & Lessons Learned

In addition to regular scheduled communications as referenced above, the H&S Department, as needed, will issue
communications to all employees and stakeholders on health and safety related matters that may be time sensitive or
require immediate dissemination. Examples include updates on serious incidents or near misses, significant events
which have direct impact on H&S programming and structural or resource changes which may impact how employees
are supported from a H&S perspective.

7.2.4 Email/Written Correspondence

Email/written correspondence is the most widely used tool for business communication at the workplace. Therefore; it
becomes imperative that RSG H&S make the best possible use of emails to communicate effectively at the workplace.
Written correspondences help promote communication and clarity in everyday tasks. RSG H&S will use this tool to make
requests and deliver specific information to project contractors and stakeholders.

7.2.5 Health & Safety Campaigns

The overall goal of a health & safety awareness campaign is to get employees to contemplate safety in situations where
they may have become complacent, or just weren’t thinking about safety in the first place. H&S messages from RSG are
an important part of every awareness campaign and are emailed to all employees on a weekly basis.

RSG H&S awareness campaign shall have various elements e.g., signs, posters, banners, and focused briefings. This
program shall promote employee awareness of H&S goals and daily risks, hazards, and exposures on the project as well
as in the office. In addition to topics selected by RSG H&S Management each month, the project team shall supplement
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE

the awareness program with information specifically applicable to the scope of works, project activities and experiences.
Additional H&S messages are also communicated via email, as required.

7.2.6 H&S Observations, Inspections & Audits

the level of management commitment, compliance with H&S standards and internal procedures, safe work activities,
proper tools and equipment, safe site conditions, and safe work behaviors.

Further information is detailed in specific health and safety procedures.

7.2.7 H&S Awareness Posters, Banners, Stickers, Infographics

Requirements
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to establish Red Sea Global (RSG) contractual requirements for the Contractor’s
management of health and safety on site. These contractual requirements form the minimum acceptable safety-related
administrative standards and are intended to supplement, not replace, the Contractor’s own safety programs.

This document aims to promote and enforce high standards of health, safety and welfare and is to be used on all
programs as a minimum requirement. It provides the Contractor with general guidance on RSG health and safety
standards and requirements, which are aimed at reducing and/or eliminating incidents or accidents. This document also
guides the Contractor in the development of their Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan (CPHSP).

This document shall apply to all Developers, Consultants, Contractors, Sub-contractors, and other third-party delivery
partners and suppliers working in accordance with RSG organizational framework and is issued in accordance with RSG
Health and Safety Leadership Policy (RSG-HS-PLC-0001), HSMS and all applicable legislation and regulations.

1.2 Scope
RSG is fully committed to a strong Health and Safety Program that protects its staff, its property, stakeholders, and the
public from accidents. Every employee is entitled to work under the safest conditions possible and, as such, every
reasonable effort shall be made in the interest of accident prevention, fire protection, and health, safety, and
environmental preservation. RSG requires its employees as well as consultants and contractors working on RSG project
to adhere to the company’s standards of practice for health and safety.

Health and safety preservation and public safety are a core value equal in importance with productivity, quality, and
ethical standards. No employee, Consultant, Contractor, or any third party working on any RSG program shall be
expected, or knowingly allowed, to work in a manner which contravenes the intentions and the spirit of RSG’s Health
and Safety Program, or in contravention of any local regulation, code or legislation.

The Health and Safety Program is developed to protect valued human resources and reduce costs associated with
accidents, including employee injuries, property damages, and accidents involving the public and the environment.

RSG is committed to working in a spirit of consultation and cooperation with all Contractors. Furthermore, RSG
recognizes and respects that worker have rights to Refuse, the Right to Know, the Right to Participate, and the Right to
Work, without being subjected to discriminatory action.

Compliance to the provisions of this document does not in any way relieve the Contractor from their responsibility to
comply with all other RSG policies, procedures, specific contractual health and safety requirements, and the governing
laws and regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these
regulations and that of any other legally binding documents pertaining to the same provision, the most stringent
requirement shall prevail. Furthermore, where reference has been made in the Contractor H&S Requirements to
another document, the latest approved version of that document shall apply. The Contractor and their sub-contractors
shall be contractually required to deliver, as far as reasonably practicable, the requirements set out in this document
and other associated standards.
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
As these requirements cannot address every possible condition, the work activity or situation which may arise on RSG
projects, all parties are required and expected to exhibit competence, exercise best management and safe work
practices regarding the health and safety of their workers and work activities.

RSG will only engage Contractors that can demonstrate a similar commitment to health and safety and can support this
commitment through demonstration of comprehensive management systems and safe systems of work.

Topic 2 HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY AND STRATEGY

2.1 Health & Safety Leadership Policy
RSG leadership understands and is personally committed to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all its
employees, service providers and stakeholders. Our aspiration is to create an Incident and Injury Free environment for
all those who work on or interact with our business operations. Our policy integrates with our values to provide and
maintain safe and healthy workplaces and communities for all stakeholders, including the general public, employees,
partners, supply chain and those who may be affected by our undertakings.

RSG leadership has made a commitment to Health & Safety as our priority, which will not be compromised to further
commercial, financial or operational gain. We believe in exceptional levels of performance in protecting people and the
environment. Every incident is preventable, as safety is first in all our business undertakings and decisions. Every
employee is responsible for the safety of themselves and those they work with. We strive to actively demonstrate our
commitment to these values and to help our colleagues to achieve safe outcomes in everything we do.
This policy has been developed to demonstrate the organization’s commitment towards Health & Safety and will strive
to achieve the following.
• Ensuring visible and demonstrated commitment from leadership is at the forefront of all activities.
• Providing the appropriate resources, and ensuring all employees are trained and competent to fulfill this
policy.
• Endeavoring to have zero work-related injuries or illness to employees as a result of our activities.
• Establishing SMART objectives and aggressively pursuing every opportunity towards continual improvement of
our Health & Safety Management System.
• Fulfilling legal requirements by complying with all local KSA laws and decrees and adopting health and safety
international best practices.
• Developing an uncompromising safety culture where our people embrace ownership of the safety of
themselves and others.
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
• Ensuring its leaders adopt and model appropriate behaviors and champion health and safety efforts by
employing risk management techniques to effectively control unacceptable risk to safety.
• Recognizing and celebrating outstanding contributors to our success in achieving excellence in Health and
Safety performance

2.2 Mobile Device Usage Policy

The purpose of this policy is to reduce the risk of injury, either directly or indirectly, when using mobile devices. There
are several dangers associated with using mobile devices. They can visually or mentally distract users preventing them
from staying vigilant and aware of the dangers in the surrounding area, which puts the user at risk. In addition, the use
of mobile devices can distract drivers/operators of vehicles putting other workers in the area at risk. Restricting the use
of mobile devices, including hands-free devices by drivers and operators, will increase the level of concentration and
safeguard our workforce.

While walking on a project site, personnel should avoid using mobile devices, i.e. making a call, sending a text, etc. If
there is a need to make or receive a call while on site, or to use your mobile device for any other purpose, the person
should stop and find a safe area to do so. Distracted walking can be just as dangerous as distracted driving when
walking on an active construction site.

The Red Sea Global rules contained within this Mobile Device Policy are in line with international best practice and
comply with local regulatory requirements.
• Under no circumstance is anyone allowed to use a mobile phone or other mobile device while driving a vehicle
and performing work activities on behalf of Red Sea Global, or at any Red Sea Global Project site; this includes
the use of handsfree systems.
• The use of mobile phones or mobile devices is not permitted while operating any construction equipment, this
includes but is not limited to heavy earth moving equipment, aerial work platforms, dump trucks, forklifts, etc.,
this includes the use of handsfree systems.
• The use of a mobile device is allowed for navigation purposes only. When using a mobile device for navigation,
the user must input the location before beginning the journey and secure the device in a holder to ensure the
user’s eyes remain on the road. Holding a mobile device in your hand for navigation purposes is prohibited.
RSG Health and Safety Leadership Policy (RSG-HS-PLC-0001) and Mobile Device Usage Policy (RSG-HS-PLC-0002) are
communicated to all employees and stakeholders and are available to our visitors, the public and other interested
parties. It will be reviewed annually to ensure it is appropriate and relevant to our values and commitments. It will be
reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant to the organization.

2.3 Health & Safety Leadership and Accountability

The Contractor shall be committed to leading health and safety through working in partnership with the project-wide
stakeholders, Consultants, Sub-contractors and applicable authorities. The Contractor shall demonstrate commitment
to the health and safety of all stakeholders and workforce working on or associated with RSG and, at the same time,
demonstrate leadership in achieving the following objectives:
•A safe and healthy workplace
• Employees are consulted on their working conditions.
• Employees are heard and influence their working conditions.
To ensure that everyone returns home from work unharmed at the end of each working day, the Contractor shall
conduct forums and meetings involving RSG and project stakeholders to:
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
Raise health and safety issues.

As part of RSG business, the commitment to health and safety performance is absolute. The aspiration is to lead health
and safety and provide work environments and performance considered as leading in the construction industry.
Our health and safety expectations are driven by visible and demonstrated leadership. To achieve its health and safety
objectives, RSG has developed and commenced a dedicated programme supported by Three (3) Cornerstone Health and
Safety Pillars.
The primary objective of this programme is to ensure that no one gets hurt or suffers ill health as a result of working on
any project. The justification Is founded on the moral obligation, as industry leaders, to provide a safer, healthier and
better standard of working environment for our people.

2.4.2 H&S Pillar II - Seven Health and Safety Management Philosophies

All Contractors and its sub-Contractors and suppliers are to adopt and visibly demonstrate the following seven health
and safety management philosophies and embed them into the culture of their respective project organizations and
construction activities:

STEWARDSHIP
Making sure you and everyone in your team goes home safely
We all have the responsibility to ensure best health and safety business practices are
encouraged, supported and followed to ensure at the end of the day, every employee
makes it home safely to their families.

IF NOT ME THEN WHO?

It’s not my job! Yes, it is. Everyone has a certain level of responsibility for health and safety.
Do not expect others to take necessary action when you should or can do it.

DON’T WALK BY!

If you observe a health and safety hazard, just don’t walk by and expect someone else to
deal with it. Take the time to address the hazard, and if you cannot, then report it
immediately to someone who can. Do not walk away until you are certain the issue has
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
been addressed or is being addressed.

TRACK – TO SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK

Utilize TRACK to assist you through the process of developing safe systems of work. Think
Through the Task;
Recognize the Hazards; Assess the Risks; Control the Risks; Keep Health and Safety First in
all Things
STOP WORK AUTHORITY
All employees, service providers, Contractors and visitors have the authority and obligation
to stop any activity or task that is unsafe. Once the activity or task has been stopped, report
it to the proper manager
REPORT INCIDENTS
All incidents, no matter how minor shall be reported immediately to their immediate
supervisor. Reporting incidents including near misses shall be encouraged and no one
should feel threatened to report incident.
CLEAN AS YOU GO!
Housekeeping is one of the single most fundamental elements of any health and safety
programme. We do not encourage cleaning at the end of the day or week, but clean as
you go to ensure sites are maintained at all times.

2.4.3 Pillar III - Ten (10) Life Crucial Health and Safety Rules

To ensure the protection of the health and wellbeing of all projects related staff is safeguarded, the Contractor in
partnership with the project-wide stakeholders, Consultants, Sub-contractors shall abide by RSG Ten (10) Life Crucial
Health and Safety Rules with zero deviation, which are as follows:

1) Work at Height – Falls and being struck by a dropped object are among the top causes of workplace injuries and
fatalities in construction.

2) Trucks and Heavy Equipment – The majority of truck and heavy equipment fatalities involved ground personnel
being crushed or run over.

3) Light Vehicle Operation – Vehicle fatalities are on the rise and distracted driving is the leading cause.

4) Marine Activity – Marine infrastructure ranks as one of the most hazardous occupations in construction. Water,
waves, weather all pose additional conditions and can change quickly.

5) Cranes and lifting – Do not position under or near a suspended load.

6) Trenching and Excavation – Cave-ins can be fatal. A cubic meter of dirt can weigh as much as a small car.

7) Electrical Work – Arc flash can produce temperature equal to the sun’s surface. Don’t risk injury or death. De-
energize equipment before performing work.
 HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
8) Hazardous Energy Control – Most incidents occur due to improper energy isolation and inadequate verification.
Always verify that systems are de-energized prior to starting work.

9) Material Handling – Serious injuries can result when materials are stored improperly. Be aware of body placement
and potential movement.

10) Confined Space Entry – Two-thirds of all confirmed space fatalities involve untrained personnel attempting rescue.
Never attempt a rescue without appropriate training and equipment.

All Contractors and their subsequent supply chain will be audited against their adherence and implementation of RSG’s
‘Ten Life Crucial Health and Safety Principles.’
