 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES

Head Protection

Safety hats or helmets are rigid headgear made of materials designed to protect
the head from impact, flying particles, electric shock, etc. Each helmet consists
of a shell,a suspension cradle, and a chin strap.

Employees working in areas where there is danger of head injury from impact;
from falling or flying objects; or from electrical shock and burns, shall be
protected by protective helmets as per standards or equivalent.

The suspension cradle gives a helmet its impact distribution qualities. It is

therefore essential that it be properly adjusted to the wearer's head so there is a
gap of at least one and a half inches between the top of the suspension cradle
and the helmet shell.

Ancillary equipment such as ear muffs, welders shields, etc. can be obtained to
fit on helmet shells. Holes should not be drilled into helmet to facilitate use of
such equipment as this can seriously impair both the mechanical strength
and the electrical resistance of the helmet.

Safety hats or helmets shall not be painted.

The complete helmet should be cleaned regularly with soap and water.
Helmets should be scrapped following any penetration, high impact, or
subjection to extreme heat.

A safety helmet should be worn by all persons at all times when on a

construction job site; in an operating plant area; or whenever there are
overhead hazards.
 Hand Protection
The kind of gloves used depends primarily upon the material or equipment
being handled and can be resistant against one or more of the following: heat,
acid, caustic, slipping, wear, fire, oil, sharp edges, general wear and tear,
cold, etc. Gloves should not be used near moving machinery as they can be
caught and trap the hand before it can be withdrawn from the glove.

Foot Protection
Foot protection used must be manufactured to the referenced standard.
Safety footwear is available in many styles, with special soles to resist oil,
abrasion, heat, and other abuses to which the footwear may be subjected.
Comfort is particularly important for the wearer, so safety footwear must fit
properly.

Approved safety footwear are sturdy work shoes with leather uppers and/or
leather composition with steel toe caps. Soles and heels are "non"-slip type.
Fashion type safety "toe" shoes with canvas, nylon and/or other soft
composition uppers or soles are not considered safety shoes
Hearing Protection
Increasing attention is being paid to the problem of excessive noise in
industry. Noise can be defined as "any unwanted sound". The
intensity of noise is commonly expressed in terms of decibels (dBA)
and measured by a sound level meter. Medical authorities state that
continual exposure to noise levels above 90 dBA for an eight hour
day, five day work week may endanger a person's hearing. The safe
period of exposure to a noise level is inversely proportional to the
level of the noise.

Hearing loss will result from over-exposure to excessive noise levels.

Only after engineering and mechanical methods of reducing noise
levels have been explored, should consideration be given to providing
hearing protection to individual workmen.

Whenever it is infeasible to reduce the noise levels or duration of

exposure to within the limits, hearing protection devices shall be
provided and used. There are two types of hearing protection
available, the plug type and the cup (or muff) type. The proper
individual fitting of both types of hearing protection is critical as any
sound leakage can seriously impair efficiency of these devices.

Ear Plugs
Ear plugs are placed into the canal of the outer ear. Materials used for
these plugs are rubber, plastic, wax, foam or Swedish wool.
Disposable types are preferred as they give good protection and are
very sanitary.

Ear Muffs
Ear muffs cover the external ear to provide an acoustic barrier. The
effectiveness of ear muffs varies considerably due to differences in
manufacturer, size, shape, seal material, shell mass, and type of
suspension. Head size and shape can also affect their performance.
Liquid or grease filled cushions between the shell and the head are
more effective than plastic or foam-filled types, but they would
present material leakage problems.

maintained in a sanitary condition.

An adequate supply of drinking water must be available. Common

drinking cups or dips are prohibited.

First aid facilities must be supplied and arrangements made for

medical care and for emergency situations.

Where necessary, safe smoking areas must be provided, with the

HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

This plan establishes guidelines for the proper storage, handling, and disposal
of flammable/combustible liquids and potentially hazardous wastes generated
by the Project during the course of construction.

A. GENERAL

ARCC will maintain a bookcase, centrally located, of all hazardous waste and
waste areas on the project and document all disposals.
ARCC is responsible for maintaining a copy of Material Safety Data Sheet(s) of
all hazardous waste on site for own reference and employee training. A complete
set of MSDS copies shall also be kept at medical facilities and the medical staff
must be fully familiar with the contents thereof.

B. RESPONSIBILITIES

1. ARCC designated supervisor will construct the flammable, combustible

liquid and hazardous waste collection storage area according to
applicable standards set forth.

2. Project Site Supervision have the responsibility to ensure that all

flammable and combustible liquids on the Project are appropriately
stored and all project generated hazardous waste is taken to the
hazardous waste collection drum for pickup and disposal.

3. The ARCC Safety Engineer will supervise the procedures and coordinate
the pickup and disposal of hazardous waste.

C. DEFINITIONS

1. Hazardous Waste

Wastes (includes liquids, semi-solids or combination gaseous material)

or a combination of solid wastes which, because of the quantity,
concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, may
pose a substantial health hazard to man and/or his environment when
improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise
managed.

2. Flammable Liquid

Any liquid having a flash point below 60 C (140F).

3. Combustible Liquid

Any liquid having a flash point at or above 60 C (140F) and below 93 C (200F).

Arabian rock contracting Co. (ARC)

 4. Flash Point

The minimum temperature, at which a substance gives off a flammable

vapor which, in contact with a spark or flame, will ignite.

5. Spill or Leak

Any release of hazardous material or hazardous waste into the

environment.

D. EQUIPMENT

A fire extinguisher will be mounted no closer than 8 metres (25 ft). and no
further than 24 metres (75 ft.) from the Flammable, Combustible Liquid and
Hazardous Waste Collection Storage Area.

E. SIGNS

Signs will be mounted one on each side. Each sign will be visible at all times.

SMOKING WITHIN 16 METRES (50 FT.)"

F. HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION

1. A adequate drum container will be provided by the existing facility for

collection and storage onsite of hazardous wastes. The container must be
labeled "HAZARDOUS WASTE." A schedule for pickup and disposal
at suitable intervals has been coordinated with the Responsible person.

2. A receptacle must be provided for the collection of used containers of

hazardous wastes (i.e., paint cans, aerosol cans, oil cans, etc.). The
receptacle will be located in the Flammable, Combustible Liquids and
Hazardous Waste Accumulation Storage Area. All containers must be
completely empty before placing in dumpster.

shall surround the perimeter of the storage area for spill confinement.

2. Ground Cover - A non-permeable ground covering shall be placed on the

storage area floor to prevent spills from contaminating ground soil.

3. Drain Pipe - A drain pipe shall be positioned to facilitate and control

drainage of water and/or contaminants from the flammable storage area.
The drain pipe must be a type that can be capped for control of drainage.

Arabian rock contracting Co. (ARC)

 pH and total organic carbon need to be analyzed before disposal.

4. Perimeter Barrier - The perimeter will be identified by orange safety

netting or similar or better material with stakes at proper intervals to
support the barrier.

5. Access - The entrance should be of sufficient width so that project

forklifts might enter and pick up heavy loads. Heavy drums or
containers will be put on pallets to allow safe handling by project
forklifts.
