1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this Health Safety and Environment (HSE) Plan is to identify HSE requirements and
describe Health Safety and Environment and Security aspects of the Jeddah Stormwater Drainage
Program (JSDP) and how they will be managed. It shall be designed to enable those involved in the
Program to have an incident and injury free environment/workplace and to prevent harm to the
environment.
The plan establishes the procedures by which the Program Manager will monitor Consultant and
Contractor compliance with their statutory and legislative obligations. It will also detail the basic
requirements with respect to any Contractor Construction Phase Health, Safety & Environment Plans
developed for the project. This Plan is not an alternative to legislative compliance which will always take
precedence. It is intended as a tool for the contractor to support those requirements.
The standards, policies and procedures in these sections form the basis of the Health Safety and
Environment Management system and shall be applied to the JSDP intended audience.
The document is intended to be used by the Project Team including the following Program Participants:
• Program Manager: JSDP
• Program Management Consultant: AECOM
• Construction Contractor
• Sub-Contractors.
The objective is to ensure that all Program Participants use common terminologies, procedures,
forms/formats, systems, project management tools and also have the same understanding of the
project requirements.

1.2 Abbreviations

List of acronyms used in this document is given in the preceding pages of the Quality Plan.

2.2 Program Health, Safety and Environment Principles and Objectives

2.2.1 Health, Safety and Environment Principles

Significant hazards associated with the final design and scope of works must be addressed in the
project Risk Register. The following activities must be carefully planned and the hierarchy of risk control
applied to them:
• Demolition works;
• Work involving high pressure systems;
• Underground/over ground utilities;
• Temporary works;
• Work at height;
• Electrical;
• Traffic;
• Frame erection, façade work, roof work;
• Ground works - including contaminated ground, excavations and piling operations;
• Heavy mobile work equipment operations;
• Manual Handling;

Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 10 of 50

• Lifting operations - including crane management and slinging loads;


• Operations likely to endanger the public;
• Work involving asbestos and other highly toxic substances; and
• Work in extreme temperatures.
Within the items above there are 16 key hazards which are presented as a ‘high risk’ on a risk register,
thus requiring a risk mitigation strategy. The activities are not banned or prohibited, but every effort
must be made to mitigate or eliminate them. Their use will only be accepted when they are unavoidable
and when designers can demonstrate that they have considered every possible alternative. When any
hazard is still present, designers must still do everything they can to minimize the risks.
In establishing the risk mitigation strategy, designers must:
• Recognize that a hazard has been created and that they are responsible;
• Accept that there is a duty to eliminate, minimize or mitigate it by design; and
• Strive to change the design itself such that a less hazardous alternative is found.
Key hazards are as follows (to include but not limited to):
• Reversing vehicles (serious personal injury/property damage);
• Creation of confined spaces (restricted access/egress, oxygen deficiency/enrichment, toxic
fumes);
• Presence of workers onsite (slips/trips/falls/abrasions/strains/skin cancer/burns/dehydration);
• Dewatering (vibration/collapse);
• Excavations and tunneling (disintegration/collapse, falls, striking underground services);
• Pressure testing pipelines (pressure release/crush injury/property damage);
• Building materials in excess of 20 kg that have to be repetitively man handled;
• Lifting operations (uncontrolled lifts/movement of equipment or loads causing damage to plant
and or serious injury);
• Work on, over or next to live vehicle carriageways (struck by vehicle/noise/pollution/falling
materials);
• Work at height (edge/fall protection);
• Hazardous Chemicals (harmful or toxic gases/fire/explosion, serious illness);
• Extreme temperature (Heat stress/Heat exhaustion);
• Concrete to be broken down by manual techniques (hand held vibrating plant and tools that may
cause hearing loss and or Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS));
• Drilled holes for fixings and fittings - using hand held percussion drills into concrete and/or
masonry; and
• Scrabbling (removal of a thin layer of concrete) using hand held vibrating tools (HAVS and
silicosis).
Our commitment is to achieve zero deviations from applicable health, safety and environmental
requirements. Program Management Staff are responsible and accountable for implementation of
effective systems and procedures to achieve this commitment.

Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 11 of 50

Our commitment also includes the responsibility to detect, correct, and prevent any deviation from
applicable requirements. Prompt reporting of deviations is essential to enable swift correction and
effective prevention. Communication, consistency, and collaboration are our essential tools for success.

2.2.2 Objectives

The Program Management Team has the following objectives with respect to HSE on the Project:
• Identify and eliminate potential for significant injuries, incidents and occurrences;
• Minimize occurrences of minor accidents;
• Conform to Local and International Legislation, Standards, Best Practice and Instructions;
• Meet Client expectations and contractual requirements;
• Encourage training, skills awareness and Best Practices;
• Maintain reporting and record keeping;
• Be committed to continuous improvement in the management of hazards;
• Recognize and reward good safety behavior.
• To instruct all levels of the Program in the overall working of Program HSE Management so that
individuals understand their own obligations towards meeting the objectives of the organization;

contractors’ HSE performance. This is completed through reviewing documents submitted by the
contractors, such as:
• Daily Reports
• Weekly Statistics
• Monthly Reports
• Incident Investigation Reports
• Near Miss Reports
• Method Statements and Risk Assessments
• Improvement/Prohibition Notices
• Observation reports
Templates of these forms will be distributed.

Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 12 of 50

Monitoring and analyzing the information collected is used to assess HSE performance trends with
regards to achieving the HSE Management Plan Objectives and Targets.
In addition, the Program will use the following documentation to evaluate KPI’s:
• HSE Observation Reports, including close out
• HSE Site Inspection Reports
• Safety Breaches
• Improvement Notices
• Prohibition Notices
• Contractor Statistics Reports
These forms will be distributed via the Project Information Management System (PMIS).
Program Key Performance Indicators have been set and actual performance will be measured at
intervals throughout the Project.

2.2.4 Incident and Injury Free

The Program Team is committed to creating an incident and injury free environment wherever it has a
presence and therefore:
• Shall strive that all parties work together to ensure that the Program does not simply rely on
safety processes to prevent injury but, holds the prevention of all incidents and injuries as a core
belief;
• Shall empower all employees to lead in making this vision real;
• Shall proactively work with all parties to make this vision a reality;
• Shall own and act on this vision. This requires a mind-set intolerant of any injury or incident,
regardless of frequency or severity; and
• Shall not ignore or walk past any unsafe conditions or practices without stopping to ensure they
are corrected or acted upon.

2.2.5 Enforcement Authority

JSDP has the sole responsibility and authority to approve, and or stop work. AECOM Arabia is
authorized to stop the work of contractors.

2.3 Health, Safety and Environment Procedures and Forms

Procedures and Forms have been developed that supplement the information provided in this Plan. A
list of the Procedures that are included is provided as Appendix A. A list of the Forms are provided as
Appendix B.
The Contractor is responsible for following the Procedures that are listed in Appendix A or providing

7. Accident and Incidents


Accident and Incidents requirements are dictated in the Accident and Incidents Procedure.
Much is learned through experience. A thorough investigation and analysis of an accident can help to
prevent future accidents. To learn by experience, however, means that a system for the retrieval of
information must be set up and statistical records must be kept of injury, death and property damage.
With such a system operational, information can be collated and analyzed to show accident patterns.
The contractor can then emphasize those areas in which safety education and training is needed most.
The contractor is responsible for reporting accidents to JSDP and in some cases to the Saudi Arabia
Government as required. This section covers these reporting requirements and the principles behind
accident investigation and analysis.

7.1 Required Reports

Contractor shall ensure that an immediate report is made to JSDP in the case of all:
• Fatal injuries
• Injuries requiring medical attention which result in lost time
• Damage over SR 10,000 to contractor's plant or equipment
• Damage, in any amount, to JSDP equipment or property
• Fires
• Damage and near misses to cranes and heavy equipment
For accidents involving Contractor employee fatalities, serious injury to two or more Contractor
employees, or damage to JSDP equipment or property, a preliminary written report shall be submitted
within 24 hours followed by a detailed written report submitted within three days to the Company
Representative. In addition, JSDP may convene an engineering review or investigation committee.

Document No. Revision No. Issue Date

RV-MAN-0190 1 14-Feb-2012
Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 32 of 50

Contractor shall maintain, in a format approved by the JSDP Safety Representative, a current record
showing all:
• Work injuries
• Fires
• Incidents of property damage over SR 10,000
• Motor vehicle accident
• Incidents involving damage to JSDP equipment and property
• Damage and near misses to cranes and heavy equipment
The record shall be available for inspection at all times and shall be submitted to JSDP on request.
A final written report shall be prepared and submitted to JSDP HSE Manager. In the case of serious
accidents, however, a detailed account of the circumstances, witnesses' statements and descriptive
photographs are required.
In addition to the reports required above, the contractor must keep a record of all injuries and damages.
A copy of this record shall be sent to the proponent department and to the contractor's project
management. Monthly summary reports are required in addition to the individual reports.

7.2 Accident Investigation

The point of an accident investigation is to prevent recurrence of similar accidents; to determine facts
rather than to find faults. The main reasons for conducting an accident investigation are:
• To find the causes so that similar accidents may be prevented;
• To determine the point at which "unplanned" events took over from the "planned" sequence of
events; and
• To recommend what corrective action should be taken.

7.3 Responsibilities for Investigation

7.3.1 Supervisor/Safety Representative

The supervisor and/or safety representative shall carry out an immediate investigation of any accident
which occurs within his area of responsibility. The preliminary accident report must be completed and
submitted within 24 hours to the JSDP HSE Manager. A final report on the incident shall be submitted
within three days detailing any additional information and corrective action needed.

7.3.2 Project Manager

The Construction/ WER Manager shall review all accident reports to ensure that all the necessary
corrective action has been taken and that he has addressed any items that may require action on his
part.

Document No. Revision No. Issue Date

RV-MAN-0190 1 14-Feb-2012
Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 33 of 50

7.4 Cases to be Investigated

Incidents that result 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 also be thoroughly investigated.

7.5 Accident Investigation Guidelines

The scene of an accident must be left undisturbed until the Construction (WER) Manager and HSE
Supervisor have conducted the investigation. In some cases the accident site must be rendered safe so
as not to contribute to further accidents. However precautions shall be taken to keep the accident
scene intact as much as is possible, to assist local police in their investigation.
The investigation should include, but not be limited to the following:
• Questioning the man in charge and finding out what was planned.
• Finding out the injured man's job or the normal configuration and function of the damaged
equipment or plant.
• Questioning the injured man as soon as possible.
• Questioning the witnesses separately as to what they actually saw, not what they think
happened.
• Studying the equipment or plant layout and noting any signs of misuse.
• Finding the explanation of any irregularities.
• From the information obtained, establishing the reason why the "unplanned" event took over
from those that were "planned".
• Recommending items of corrective action and methods of implementing them to prevent the
recurrence of the incident.
• Making a scaled drawing of the accident scene and supplement that with supporting
photographs.

8. First Aid
Contractor(s) will provide an adequate number of suitably trained First Aide Staff and first aid facilities
appropriate to their work activities, potential risks and project location.
Adequate and appropriate first aid provisions will be based on:
• The number of employees;
• The nature of the construction;
• The size of the construction project and the scope of the works;
• The working hours;
• The distance from outside medical services;
• Rapid access to first aid for all employees; and
• Adequate first aid coverage for all areas of work regardless of expanse of area.

Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 34 of 50

8.1 First Aiders

First Aiders should have completed an approved course of training such as those organized by the Red
Crescent or other internationally approved societies. A refresher course should be undertaken every
year and will require re-certification after three years. One first aider must be provided for every 50
employees. Adequate First Aid coverage must be maintained in relation to the number of personnel
employed in the shift and weekend working. The name of the responsible first aider(s) and emergency
numbers must be prominently displayed where applicable on a first aid notice. When more than one
First Aider is assigned to the Project, a board will be provided in a conspicuous place, posting the name
of the First Aider on duty and the schedule of other First Aiders. First Aid personnel shall wear GREEN
helmets which incorporate a first aid sticker.
A First Aider, shall always be wearing PPE with appropriate insignia which can easily identify his
designation.

8.2 Nurse

A full-time nurse is required on site when the workforce exceeds 250 persons. All nurses employed
should be registered with the Saudi Council of Health Specialties and have appropriate industrial
training and experience. Consideration should be given to an emergency response first aid vehicle
provided with a first aid box and with a trained nurse in attendance which can be sent to the scene of
an injury instead of the injured being handled and transferred to the fixed site first aid room.

8.3 First Aid Kits

First aid boxes clearly marked with a red crescent on a white background provided in the First Aid
Room. The contents of first aid boxes and first aid kits should be regularly checked for replenishment of
supplies.
For 250 persons a quantity of First Aid materials is to be held in bulk within the First Aid room.
Sufficient numbers of portable kits must be retained to cover all on site First Aid requirements.
This list will be supplemented by other emergency equipment as deemed necessary by the Safety
Team on Site.

RV-MAN-0190 1 14-Feb-2012
Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 37 of 50

prior to accessing the site and translations of all the Site Rules in the most common language and
writing should be provided for the benefit of the operatives and be displayed on the site HSE notice
board (if available).
Refer to Contractor’s Site Requirements Procedure.

9.6 Related Facilities

The safe processing and movement of testing samples and material from Testing Laboratories or Batch
Plants is the primary JSDP objective. Any construction operation which could affect the safety of
processing and movement must be planned and performed in accordance with the operating
procedures of the area in which the job is located.
Every plant or facility has operations to a specific set of operating instructions and the operating
supervisor for that area has full responsibility for safety precautions. With this responsibility, the
operator-in-charge also has authority to issue work permits and stop any work if it is not in accordance
with proper procedures.
It is therefore necessary for anyone expecting to work in an area where testing samples or materials
are handled to know the rules and regulations and obey them.

10. Permits to Work


Permits to Work requirements are dictated in the Work Permit System Procedure.
A permit to work system must be implemented by the Contractor and identified in risk assessments and
method statements. The permit to work system will be one permit one shift / one day unless authorized
by the Project Management team. The following activities require a permit system to commence work:
Excavation Piling
Confined space Electrical equipment and Isolation
Hot works Tunnelling
Use of hazardous substances Crane lifting
Cutting, brazing, welding Working at Heights
Utility Shut-down/diversions Demolition
Blasting Work near or under water
Dewatering

11. Hazard Identification and Assessment


Hazard Identification and Assessment is one of the foundations for a HSE Program. There are several
steps or a basic methodology involved in identifying hazards and assessing the risks associated with
those hazards. The following steps are typically fundamental to the hazard identification process:
• Define your objectives - what are the pertinent needs of the HSE program based on operating
specifications;

Document No. Revision No. Issue Date

RV-MAN-0190 1 14-Feb-2012
Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 38 of 50

• Job Task Analysis - look at all hazards associated with job tasks such as people, process,
procedures, tools, facilities, equipment use and environmental concerns ;
• Perform a risk analysis exhibiting both qualitative (likelihood, frequency, severity) and
quantitative determinations (1, 2, 3, 4 with 1 being minor and 4 being serious);
• Prioritize hazards to ensure the most serious hazards are addressed first ;
• Development of action plans to address all hazards through procedures and control measures ;
• Assignment of control measures through Engineering, Administrative and Personal Protective
Equipment controls; and
• Evaluate and assess hazards often to ensure control measures are working.
Hazard Identification requires continuous assessment and improvement to ensure all hazards are
identified and controlled when new work starts or work processes change. In addition, if current
mitigation tactics are not working and the action plan does not produce the intended effect, the process
may need to be modified. The drive for continuous improvement is critical in making the HSE program
better over time and in ensuring hazards are reduced or eliminated.
Each craft or crew shall have a supervisor dedicated to HSE. Every site supervisor shall be familiar with
contents of the HSE Plan and hold a documented ten-minute safety discussion at least one day in each
working week. These meetings shall be monitored by designated Program Management staff and key
project personnel, as detailed in the Contractor’s HSE Plan.

12. Contractor Risk Analysis Requirements


The Contractor will develop these plans and remain responsible for ensuring compliance with these
plans. The Program will monitor the application of these plans. The core document must include as a
minimum:
• Acknowledgement of the risks, constraints and interface issues identified and applicable to the
work to be carried out;
• Identification of any other significant risks identified by the Contractor; and
• Any potential interface issues with other works Contractors, client personnel or activities and the
public.
Risk Assessments and Method Statements
The objective of a risk assessment is to identify project-related hazards and develop methods to deal
with those hazards.
All risk assessments shall be reviewed and revised by the Contractor as necessary to accommodate
any changes in methods of working, plant, equipment, materials and/or site development. Before any
work commences on site, the Contractor shall nominate a competent person to be responsible for co-
coordinating risk assessments of all operations where risk is foreseeable and ensuring that the
appropriate control measures are established and incorporated into safe systems of work.
The method statements for operatives should be made simple for ease of understanding. Method
Statements should follow the Method Statement Checklist (Form). It is the Contractor’s responsibility to
ensure that all personnel have been briefed in the safe method of works for the activity; the method

20. Traffic and Pedestrian Control


The requirements for Traffic and Pedestrian Control are dictated in the Traffic and Pedestrian Control
procedure.
The Contractor engaged in roadwork is not only responsible for the safety of his own men, he also has
an obligation to protect the public from potential construction hazards, during the day, at night and in all
weather conditions. Consequently, the marking of construction sites and the safe and efficient diversion
and control of traffic must be properly planned and executed. Traffic Management /Road closure plans
must be submitted to the JSDP Traffic Management Engineer who will approve the Traffic Plan; the
Contractor will in turn submit the Traffic Plan to the Traffic Police of Jeddah. No road closures are to
take place until permission has been granted and the permit issued by the Traffic Police Department.
JSDP Traffic Management Engineer will provide guidance and formats to the Contractor for the Traffic
Plans if necessary. Contractor shall comply with the following general conditions:
• Contractors shall provide their own barriers, lights & signage. These items must be in
accordance with Traffic Management Plans, Police permits and relevant Saudi Arabia
Procedures relating to traffic management.

21. Project Close-out


Completing a project requires procedures to close out project contractual and administrative activities.
The closeout process ensures all documentation is finalized, closes the final snag list items and any
contractual obligations. A project is ready for closeout once it has been successfully transitioned from
the project organization and accepted by the end user organization. Project closeout begins at
beneficial occupancy or project termination, and is complete after all physical, regulatory, contractual,
and financial closeout activities are complete.

22. Health, Safety and Environment File


A HSE file shall be required at project close out, the HSE file provides information required for future
construction work, which includes cleaning, maintenance, alterations, refurbishment and demolition.
Information in the file alerts future contractors to risks and provides guidance on how to work safely.
This also provides information for future construction health and safety plans.
The HSE file should include information about the following topics, where this may be relevant to the
health and safety of any future construction work. Contractors shall collate the information for inclusion
within the HSE File and submit this to the employer’s representative at the end of the project.
