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.

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

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.
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.

The First Aid notice should be translated into the languages of the majority of the labor on site.
Travelling first aid kits should be provided where employees work in small groups or where work is
performed in areas remote from a first aid box.
The site layout must be planned before any work is started. This will assist in making the job easier and
more efficient, thus increasing productivity and profit. Items to be considered under site layout include
the following: Prior to the commencement of any contractual activity at any site. The contractor shall
obtain through JSDP representative the required Land use permit (LUP). The LUP application shall
include drawings of the proposed facilities. The contractor shall ensure that any camp facility provided
meets the provision of Saudi Arabia Labor and Workmen Law and the Program HSE requirements. The
HSE Manager reserves the right to inspect contractor facilities.

Jeddah Stormwater Drainage Program (JSDP) (HSE) Management Plan Page No. 36 of 50
• Site Illumination - Adequate lighting must be provided in all areas of the job site. The National
Electric Code and National Fire Protection Association standards should be consulted for
specific areas.
The objective is to provide and maintain a consistently high standard of welfare facilities on the Project
site which meet or exceed local regulations, welfare facilities must be provided at all stages of
construction. This may require temporary facilities to be provided particularly at commencement and
completion of adequate standard and suitable for the numbers of personnel on site.
Basic arrangements to be considered are as follows:
• Adequate sanitary conveniences as per Saudi Arabia Laws & WHO;
• Adequate washing facilities; as per Saudi Arabia Laws & WHO;
• Prayer facilities;
• Shower facilities, where required by law, or due to the nature of the works;
• Provision of adequate (cool) drinking water;

• Shelter from wind, heat, sunshine and rain;
• Cooling and ventilation; and
• Protection of non-smokers.
The site safety rules are provided below and are for the protection of everyone, they apply to all
persons on the site, including visitors and non compliance will mean exclusion from the site. They must
be communicated in the Contractor’s site induction. Visitors should be handed a copy of these rules
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.
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.

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.

of such briefings must be maintained by the Contractor and made available to JDSP for audit purposes.
Specific HSE Procedures for many of these operations have been developed and are included for the
Contractor’s use.
15. Environment
The Contractor must comply with PME regulations on environmental protection and be aware of any
risks which may occur within or outside the agreed site area as a result of their activities. The
Contractor should have procedures in place to enable the monitoring of all discharges into the
environment, be they liquid, solid or gaseous and also should:
