2. SHE LEGISLATION

2.1 LABOUR LEGISLATION

Depending on the local situation legal conditions for labor circumstances applies to the installation,
commissioning, operation and maintenance of Plant and Machinery.
The ‘Arbeidsomstandighedenwet (Arbowet)’ describes the right HSC and duties for employers and
employees concerning their responsibilities for Safety, Health and Environmental affairs on the job. This
law or equivalent local law adheres to the installation job.
In cases local legislation is not available or is not meeting the minimum Concern requirements on SHE,
the Arbowet is put in place as reference for the Installation /SHE Plans. This subject has to be checked
prior to the arrangement of the Plans.

2.2 MACHINE LEGISLATION

Depending on the local situation legal conditions for Safety, Health and Environment applies to Plant and
Machinery; development of equipment and the construction of production facilities.
The CE (Conformité Européenne) Marking describes the requirements on Safety, Health and
Environment for machine or installation. This legal directive adheres to the Installation Job for countries
within the EEA (European Economic Area).
In cases local legislation is not available or is not meeting the minimum Concern Requirements on
Machine Legislation, the standard pr NEN EN 1672-1 (CE Marking) can be put in place as reference to
the Plans for Installation and SHE. (Check CE Marking requirements in advance).

2.3 SAFETY NORMATIVES

ISO 3864 and NEN 3011 serve as standards to Safety Signaling.
To various European countries the EEG directive 92/58 applies as law (to be checked).
HMESC 879803 is a corresponding Heineken standard for Pipe Markers.
ISO 5579 applies to radiographic examination of metallic materials by X- and gamma rays.
It is legally obliged to be aware of the risks that go along with the usage of a certain product. To that per
product a standard Transport Emergency Card (TEC) is required with up-to-date safety information. For
products for which TECs do not exist, Contractors shall take care of comparable information sheets.
The Safety Officer should maintain a register of chemicals (type, location and quantity).

Appendix A reflects an overview of Safety Signs deriving from ISO 3864, see also paragraph 7.10
for additional instructions on the usage of chemicals.

3. SITE ACCESS AND CONTROL

3.1 THE BREWERY SITE

The Brewery is being expanded on a site of approx. 290m x 240m. A fence (height approx. 2 mtr.)
surrounds the complete site and there is one main entrance. Also two guardhouses have been installed for
security reason. The Brewery Site will be secured by guards, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
3.2 SITE ACCESS
The only entrance is located at north east of the Site.
There is a barrier and a guardhouse behind the gate. This barrier is closed (= down) all of the time. It can
only be opened shortly to give access to an authorized vehicle. It is closed immediately afterwards.
Between the barrier and the guardhouse persons who are walking can enter the brewery site.
Only authorised people and vehicles – in possession of necessary autorisation - see paragraphs 4.3 and
4.4 - are allowed to access the Site. To notify all persons about this, a big signboard (1  2 Mt.) is located
at the gate with the text (in both English and in local language):

NO TRESPASSING
Contact guards for entrance permit

This means that everybody should register themselves (and their vehicle if applicable) to obtain a permit
at the guardhouse which is located at the main gate. Group transportation like vans and trucks are not
allowed to enter with persons inside. Persons should get off and get in/outside the gate and walk.
All employees/workers/vehicles entering or leaving the site may be subjected to inspection by authorised
guards or personnel of the Site.

3.3 SITE CONTROL

Each Contractor is responsible for the people working on the site under his supervision and has to give
full co-operation with the identification system for them. The system consists of a register of workers
names kept on Site by the Installation Representative. Each person receives a Workers Pass with
photograph.
Before starting the work, each Contractor shall take care of /indicate:
- Submission of two photographs of each staff member and worker for the identification system.
- Names and I.D. pass of personnel with their respective trades classification on the Site;
- Name and driving license of driver and registration number of vehicles regular accessing the Site;
- Any special equipment requirements, e.g. for cranes, mobile compressors, etc.
Contractor staff and workers will confirm themselves to the work site and specified access routes and
will not enter any other plant, utility and administration area, workshop or amenity area.
(Sub-)Contractors shall instruct their Vendors to deliver materials and equipment to the Contractor's
office on the job site. Deliveries shall not be made directly to the Site unless the Contractor's
Representative has arranged to meet the delivery. The Installation Representative must be given a list of
Vendors in advance so that he can make arrangements with the Security Officer. Persons who deliver
materials and equipment shall not wander about the site looking for a Contractor (Representative).
To Site Access and Control the various types of passes exist i.e. Workers Passes, Visitors Passes, Car
Passes, Office Passes and there can be others like e.g. Equipment Gate Passes, see paragraph 4.4.
Zoeterwoude, V-PVH Print date : 18-Oct-2013

 SHE Plan
The Security Officers are entitled to check at any time all persons, bags and vehicles before entering or
leaving the Site and also during their staying on the Site.

3.4 AUTHORISATION PASSES

All passes are to be worn and shown clearly during the stay on the Site and must be presented for
security check. The passes are Site property and must be returned upon termination or upon request by
the issuing authority. Lost cards should be reported to the administration office immediately.

1 Workers Passes

handed-in at the guardhouse when leaving the site. The next day the same pass has to be collected again
by informing the guard about your personnel number.

2 Visitors Passes
Visitors for the site must obtain a “Visitors pass”. This procedure must be followed for every visit. When
they register their personal name, company name, identification card number /business number /card and
purpose of the visit, they will receive a temporaryVisitors Pass with a unique number.
The visitors must present themselves immediately to the Installation Representative. The pass shall be
handed-in at the guardhouse when leaving the Site. The Officers register date, arrival and departure time.

3 Car Passes
In principle cars /trucks should be parked outside the Site. But in case a vehicle needs to enter, a “car
pass” must be obtained before entering. When the numberplate, name of owner/company has been
registered, the Officer will handout a Car Pass with a unique number. The pass should be positioned
behind the front window screen (right hand side) to be seen clearly. The Car Pass has to be handed-in at
the guardhouse when leaving the site. The Officers register date, arrival and departure time.
For cars which should enter the Site regularly, like for VBL Da Nang and Installation Manager, this car
pass will be personal / permanent and therefore can remain in the car when leaving the Site. Only the
Installation Representative is authorised to decide which cars will get a permanent pass.

4 Office Passes
Only the Site Office Personnel who wear an official Site Office Pass with photograph and who also have
a permanent Car Pass are allowed in without registration. Other Site Office Personnel should apply for a
Visitors Pass (see item 2). If they need to enter by car they should also obtain for a Car Pass (see item 3).

5 Equipment Gate Pass

Removal of Contractor's material /equipment must be covered by a "Contractor's Equipment Gate Pass".
If special items are brought in, which will be taken out of the site after the visit, the items should be
registered at the guardhouse. The Officer issues and signs an authorisation paper (“Permit for temporary
bringing of materials”) to bring in and to carry out the items as mentioned. When leaving the Site, this
paper must be handed-in to the Officer again. The Officer signs this paper for approval when OK.
A similar paper (“Permit to retrieve materials from VBL Da Nang Site”) is used for all materials that
will be removed from Site. Only the Contractor’s Representative can issue this permit. Permission for
removal should be applied for in advance and can only be authorised by the Installation Representative
/replacer.
