1. INTRODUCTION
This HES management plan defines the safety standards and requirements of the Project. These
standards and requirements apply to all employees and visitors on the Project. All employees are
required to comply with the provisions of the plan.
Royal-Technic JV holds all managers and supervisors accountable for understanding and
implementing this SMP (Safety Management Plan). All employees will be responsible for
implementing, monitoring and improving the HSE Management Plan.
This SMP will be reviewed for its relevance following health and HSE audits. The Royal-Technic JV
HSE Representative will be responsible to undertake the review.
Royal-Technic JV ‘s vision is to achieve zero incident in all operations of this Project. The safety
objectives of this plan are to be used to raise awareness and establish a Health & Safety culture on
this Project that strives for continuous improvement.
• To enlist and maintain support for the health, safety and environment objectives of
the project at all levels within the organization.
• To provide and maintain safe systems of work.
• To clearly define areas of Health, Safety and Environment responsibility.
• To identify hazards, assess and control risks and implement and review Health and
Safety procedures.
• To ensure all project personnel complete the project specific induction.
• To have no fatalities.
• To thoroughly investigate all incidents including near miss events to prevent
occurrence.
• To involve all levels of the project management team and the workforce in periodic
audits and inspections of the project construction activities.
The introduction of alcohol, prohibited and prescribed drug into the workplace can pose potential
threat not only to the health, safety and wellbeing of the affected person but also to other personnel
and members of the public.
For this reason, Royal-Technic JV will not permit any person whilst at work to:
Violation of this policy will constitute sufficient grounds for disciplinary action which may lead to
dismissal.
Royal-Technic JV is committed to provide a safe and healthy workplace for all employees and
understands that smoking has the potential to impair a person’s ability to work safely thus increasing
the chance of potential accidents and injuries at the workplace.
Smoking is prohibited in all offices, project supplied vehicles/plant and work site except designated
places for smoking. The possession of any prohibitive articles (e.g., any smoking material, any device
adapted for the purpose for igniting smoking material) are strictly prohibited whilst within the
designated area.
If any personnel are found to be in breach of the smoking policy will be subjected to disciplinary
actions.
If any personnel require medical treatment for injuries sustained whilst working on the Project, he /
they will be referred to a preferred medical service provider/nearest Government Hospital for
treatment.
All first aid treatment given shall be recorded in accordance with the relevant Workplace
Health & Safety Regulations.
3. HSE TARGET
Royal-Technic JV is committed to achieve the target of ZERO incidents at the site of operation. In
order to achieve the target, Royal-Technic JV should plan and implement safety culture, appropriate
training of all employees, SSE program, BBS program, HID, job hazard and risk analysis, and other
safety measures and a safety incentive and reward campaign/program for continual improvement
of all these measures as detailed in later sections of this plan.
To achieve this target, all Incidents Frequency Rate must be equal to zero.
All Incidents:
• Fatality
3|Page
All Incidents Frequency Rate is calculated by the following formula as defined by OHSA:
(Total number of Fatalities, Days Away from Work, Medical Treatment Case, Restricted Work Case,
and First Aid Case in the period/number of hours worked in the period) × 200,000
FAC is the case where no medical treatment was given and restriction of work was limited to the day
of the incident.
MTC requires more elaborate treatment than the first aid cases. Medical treatment refers to
management and care of persons to combat work-related disease or medical disorders and excludes
visits for observation or counseling and diagnostic procedures.
A Days Away from Work case is when an employee is away from work for one or more days after
the day that a work-related injury or illness occurred. Incidents are still considered to be a DAFW
case even if the first day of work missed is several days/weeks/months after the initial date of the
incident or the employee is prescribed days off by a physician and the employee comes to work
anyway.
A restricted work case is when an employee because of work-related injury or illness was assigned
to another job on a temporary or permanent basis or worked at his/her permanent job but less than
a full day or cannot perform routine functions associated with his/her permanent job.
Fatality:
A fatality is the death of an employee engaged in a work-related activity that results from an incident
or exposure in the work environment.
4. COMMITMENT
Royal-Technic JV is committed to safety welfare of all employees and will demonstrate leadership by
achieving the highest possible standards in both occupational and natural environments. All
employees will be required to demonstrate their commitment by:
• Ensuring that decisions and practices are consistent with the stated vision, policy and
objectives (refer to the Company Policy statements).
• Making adequate resources available.
• Participating in construction hazard workshops and design safety reviews.
• Discussing safety with supervisors/employees.
• Visiting all work areas regularly.
• Wearing the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Carrying out safety observations and giving immediate feedback.
• Taking disciplinary action for violations of safety rules.
• Ensuring that safety is not compromised to meet schedule or budget.
• Making safety an agenda item at formalized meetings.
• Holding regular safety meetings (Toolbox and Project Management).
• Reviewing toolbox meeting minutes.
• Submitting Daily BBS and HID reports.
• Ensuring that all incidents are reported and investigated.
• Reviewing incident investigations and following up action items.
• Participating in regular inspections and audits.
A properly designed BBS process will involve workers from every level. The atmosphere of trust that
results from the non-punitive observation and feedback process leads to more worker involvement.
Workers will frequently start asking to be observed, and they will use the feedback to modify their
activity to make themselves and their fellow workers safer. As trust will increase, the reporting of
minor incidents will increase yet severity will decline.
The principles on which the foundation of proposed BBS process shall be built are:
5|Page
• Identification of Safety Standards and Requirements
Existing safety standards and requirements aid in developing the list of behaviors used in
the BBS process.
• Hazard Controls
The observation process shall provide ongoing monitoring of processes so that Hazard
Controls reflect the risks associated with work being performed.
• Operations Authorization
The BBS process shall help to provide behavior-related safety information necessary to
make informed decisions prior to initiating operations.
All behavioral safety processes have three major components:
• Development of a list of at-risk behaviors
• Observations
• Feedback
The process starts with a behavioral hazard analysis to identify at-risk behaviors. These can be
determined using daily BBS Reports from employees (by filling in BBS Form), accident-incident
reports, HID and job hazards analysis. Using the at-risk behaviors, a checklist shall then be
developed to assist in the observation of work behavior.
The following flowchart shows the proposed BBS process, which is a multi-stage process leading to
observation, feedback, and continuous safety improvement.
7. COMMUNICATION
Royal-Technic JV recognizes that communication is an essential and critical element in managing
safety. Daily and monthly meetings are to be held in a structured manner to communicate issues
from and to all levels of the workforce throughout the site. All structured meetings are to be minute.
Minutes from Safety Committee Meetings are to be communicated to all levels of the workforce.
The communication process will be adopted by the Project Management team for the purpose of
safety awareness will be based on:
A monthly Project Management Meeting is to be held where safety shall be the first order of business;
covering safety related concerns and updates on accident-incident investigations.
Toolbox Meeting
7|Page
A daily Toolbox meeting will be held where the day’s work requirements and safety and other
relevant information will be discussed. The following issues are to be addressed during the toolbox
meeting:
8. PROCESS CONTROLS
The Royal-Technic JV Project Management team will conduct a construction hazard analysis
workshop prior to commencing construction activities. Hazard analysis should include Engineering,
Construction and Operational personnel where applicable.
The Royal-Technic JV Project Management team shall identify hazards and risks using a systematic
approach. Hazard identification and reviews are to be conducted throughout the project lifetime;
outcomes from these will be incorporated into action registers.
A Hazard Review will be performed on any project work that has the potential to affect or create a
new Major Accident Event (MAE). A MAE is any one incident with the potential to cause a fatality,
or significant permanent environmental damage. MAEs where identified will be recorded in the
Hazard Register.
The Royal-Technic JV Project Management team will ensure that a Pre-Construction Hazard
Assessment is performed on any work activity that could be classified as hazardous.
Royal-Technic JV shall provide any temporary protective shielding required protecting construction
activities from nearby operations. Royal-Technic JV shall provide for, and maintain, all signs, lights,
barriers and traffic barricades needed to inform drivers of hazards to guide traffic safely past
temporary obstruction and to protect workmen.
Daily work activities shall be subjected to a Job Safety & Environment Analysis (JSEA) involving all
those taking part in the work activity. General work activities that require more detailed guidance
shall be subjected to a Safe Working Instruction (SWI).
Following Hazard assessment, possible control measures must be defined for situations of
unacceptable risk. A hierarchy of control measures to eliminate or minimize the risk should be
followed in the priority order noted and consists of:
1 Elimination
2 Substitution
3 Isolation
4 Engineering controls
5 Administrative controls
6 Use of personal protective equipment
Each of these controls should be applied in the above order as far as possible to reduce the risk to
as low as reasonably practical (ALARP). It may be necessary to use a combination of these to
eliminate the risk or reduce it to an acceptable level.
The HSE Representative in conjunction with the Project Management Team shall develop a
preliminary Job Safety and Environmental Analysis (JSEA) for the project work activities that are
included in a relevant WMS.
Having performed the JSEA and assessed the risk, control measures shall be determined. Where
possible the risk should be minimized and/or eliminated through changes to the work process.
Where this is not practicable other forms of control may be required.
JSEA will be reviewed and addressed at the toolbox meeting with work crew.
The HSE Representative shall ensure that the report forms are completed, accurate and fully
investigated.
Additionally, the HSE Representative shall raise an Improvement Notification Report (INR) where
improvements to management system documents are required as a result of audit. These corrective
actions shall be issued to the Project Manager with a statement of actions required; date to be
completed and date where follow-up will be performed to ensure effectiveness of the changes.
The Incident Tracking Register shall indicate the closing out of the corrective action.
Where HSE complaints are raised by the project personnel the HSE Representative shall follow-up
as necessary.
All personnel on site must comply with the PPE policies and procedures, and be issued with the
mandatory PPE requirements before commencing work on the site. The mandatory PPE requirements
on the site shall be:
• Work Boots;
• Safety Helmet where required by signage and/or JSEA;
• Eye Protection where required by signage and/or JSEA
• Hearing protection where JSEA and/or signs indicate hearing protection is required;
• Leather Gloves where required by signage and/or JSEA;
• Shirts with long sleeves. Cotton shirts to be used in restricted and ignition risk areas;
• Long trousers. Cotton trousers to be used in restricted and ignition risk areas; and
• High visibility vests to maximize their visibility.
Manual handling is one of the major activities of the Project. Manual Handling occurs on a
construction project many times per hour and subsequently the risk rating for this group of hazards
is high if nothing is done to control the hazards.
A procedure has been developed to assist in understanding the Manual Handling group of hazards
and how to address the control of these hazards (Safe Work Instructions: Manual Handling).
Royal-Technic JV HES Representative will review the hazardous substance site storage area during
the audits. The purchase and use of hazardous substances shall be carried out in accordance with
9|Page
the SWI: Storage and Use of Hazardous Substances. A copy of MSDS must be obtained before the
acceptance of hazardous substance on site and retained in the onsite MSDS register. All personnel
using hazardous substances shall be trained prior to the usage.
A procedure has been developed by Royal-Technic JV to assist in understanding the handling and
usage of hazardous substances and how to address these hazards (Safe Work Instructions: Storage
and Usage of Hazardous Substances).
Dangerous Goods are classified on the basis of immediate physical or chemical hazards, such as fire,
explosion, corrosion and toxicity, which may affect life, health, property or the environment. Many
hazardous substances are also classified as dangerous goods. A substance could be a gas, liquid,
solid, gas mixture, liquid mixture, or solids mixture.
The handling, storage and transport of Dangerous Goods shall be in accordance with relevant
regulations, codes of practice and project procedures.
A Dangerous Goods Assessment shall be conducted at all storage locations in accordance with the
relevant references.
All Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) that will be used or are likely to be used Radioactive Sources for
testing purposes shall submit for approval a Health & Safety Management Plan for the activity and
Emergency Response Plan prior to commencing any NDT activity on the Project. These documents
shall be prepared to document the methodology for the safe use of radioactive substances and
measures and actions to be taken in the event of an emergency.
Radiation sources shall not be brought onto or used on the project without the prior approval of your
end. The following details shall be submitted when seeking approval:
• Type of source
• Quantity of Source
• Owner’s Name
• Serial Name
• Where to be used
The JSEA shall be completed and reviewed before any radioactive work commences.
Royal-Technic JV Project Management shall ensure that all electrically powered tools, lamps,
extension leads, transformers and other such equipment are listed on a site register and are:
• Readily identifiable;
Specific training by a competent person to personnel on the hazards and procedures associated with
Induced AC Voltage prior to personnel working in areas, which may be affected by the effects of
Induced AC Voltage shall be conducted.
PL shall identify and appropriately signpost all areas where Induced AC Voltages could exist prior to
any work commencing in those areas. Prior to each crew moving into an area where Induced AC
Voltages may exist they shall be briefed at a toolbox meeting on the requirements, precautions,
procedures, etc to be adopted.
All work performed in close proximity to power lines shall be conducted in accordance with the
Working in Close Proximity of Power lines Procedure and the Power line owner or operator
requirements. The requirements of Permit to Work are to be implemented.
It is a project strategy not to create or work in any Confined Space. Entry into a confined space will
be prohibited unless a current confined space entry permit has been issued. A procedure has been
developed by Royal-Technic JV to assist the understanding of confined space entry and related
hazard control measures (SWI: Confined Space Entry). All confined spaces are to be clearly sign
posted.
Any work capable of producing an ignition source within any designated Hazardous Area Location,
shall be carried out under an authorised Hot Work Permit, issued under the Permit to Work system.
Supervisory and Inspection Personnel shall have the authority to order a cease to hot work activities,
where in their reasonable opinion the work cannot be performed safely and without risk to personnel
and/or property. Where a Supervisor or Inspection Person orders hot work activities to cease, all
personnel shall adhere to the order, cease all hot work activities immediately, and make the area
safe. Supervisory and Inspection Personnel shall immediately notify the appropriate Construction
Manager of the order to cease hot work activities.
• All combustible material shall be removed from the work area or made safe within a
minimum radius of 15 meters from the Hot Work (unless other suitable measures are in
place);
All fire extinguishers on site must have a current test tag fitted. Where test tags are missing or the
extinguisher has been used, they are to be replaced.
JSEA shall be completed and reviewed before any Hot Work commences.
All excavation and trenching works shall be performed in accordance with the regulatory and Royal-
Technic JV procedural requirements.
The cautionary measures stated in SWI: Trenching & Excavation shall be closely adhered to in all
11 | P a g e
Project workplaces where excavation occurs, and by all project personnel with the potential for
exposure to hazards resulting from excavation in those workplaces, including:
Excavation work may range from shallow trenching and simple foundation excavation to large bell
hole excavations for welding tie-in where the risk of serious injury is very significant.
Royal-Technic JV shall advise and display current registration and certification of any Designated
Plant as required under any legislative requirement. Lifting equipment shall be labelled with its Safe
Working Load (SWL) in accordance with BGFCL’s requirements.
All rigging work is to be carried out by competent riggers in accordance with BGFCL requirements.
All slings, shackles etc., are to be clearly marked with their safe working load (SWL) or working load
limit (WLL), rigging equipment is not to be used for other than its intended purpose.
Rigging and/or lifting equipment shall be checked prior to each time it is used. Any unsatisfactory
rigging gear is to be tagged “Out of Service” immediately.
Rigging and slinging equipment shall be inspected quarterly. Pre-use inspections shall be
undertaken.
Where a sling is to be used on site in any application the JSEA shall state control measures to be
taken to ensure the sling is not damaged.
10.14 Ladders
Ladders should be primarily used as a means of access and should not be used as a replacement for
guys, braces, struts, beams, skids, bridges, ramp or gangway. All ladders shall comply with and be
used in accordance with the instructions stated in SWI: Using Ladders.
Ladders that have been cut down or are damaged shall be tagged "Out of Service" and removed
from the workplace for repair or replacement.
Only abrasives approved for use shall be used. Approved protective clothing and equipment must
be worn at all times while operating blasting machines.

13. TRAINING
The Project Management team has the responsibility to ensure its management, supervision and
employees have the necessary skills and knowledge and are competent to advise and enforce
compliance of this Project Health, Safety & Environment Management Plan and the Company
Management System.
In understanding the requirements for employee selection, competency and training it is important
to recognise that almost all personnel involved in construction, operation and maintenance can
create a safety hazard if they are not competent, qualified and suitably trained to carry out their
role.
All employees engaged to work, as part of the Project, will attend the project specific safety induction
before commencing on site work. This induction will be reviewed and updated to suit the changing
project conditions. The HSE Representative shall develop and implement induction requirements for
project staff and personnel. The HSE Representative shall develop a register of inducted personnel.
It is the project management’s responsibility to ensure that personnel do not commence field
operations until inducted.
All personnel shall be required to complete an Induction Attendance form prior to the induction. All
licenses and certificates of competency held must be recorded on the Induction Attendance form
and copies of all such licenses and certificates attached.
An integral part of the induction process will be the explanation of the following:
Following the main induction all personnel are to have a familiarisation tour of the Project
accommodation and the following is to be pointed out:
Emergency Procedure and facilities e.g. First Aid, Fire Extinguishers, Assembly Points, etc
• Hours of Work
• First Aid Representative
• Personnel in crew
• Location of Amenities
The HES Representative shall implement the requirements of the Royal-Technic JV Safety Training
Procedure.
• Identify all contractual and regulatory requirements and define specific requirements
to ensure their compliance.
• Present an environmental analysis of construction activities and their potential effects.
• Detail the management strategies to be adopted to minimize the actual and potential
environmental effects arising from construction activities and possible (non-routine)
contingency events.
• Provide the necessary procedures for communication, documentation, and review of
environmental compliance activities.
Effective environmental management is an ongoing process. This EMP will be reviewed whenever
new environmental management practices or options are identified.
The work will be managed under Royal-Technic JV’s management systems. Royal-Technic JV is
committed to conducting its operations in a manner that protects and responsibly manages the
natural environment. Royal-Technic JV seeks to achieve this objective by:
15 | P a g e
• Ensuring that all personnel have adequate skills, knowledge and information to carry
out their tasks without harm to the environment.
• Conducting all activities in a manner that will promote the conservation of energy and
reduce the generation of waste and the discharge of contaminants to the environment.
The Environmental Policy is generally issued to all personnel via notice boards and through the line
manager to key personnel. The Royal-Technic JV’s Environmental Policy is attached to this
document.
The EMP objectives and goals have been developed for the Project to meet the following objectives:
• Minimize the extent and impact of clearing and grading on the right of way;
Earthworks and the movement of construction vehicles can cause soil disturbance such as
compaction and erosion. Alterations to the surface topography and hydrology can alter drainage
patterns and promote erosion. Run-off from exposed sodic soils can cause accelerated erosion
conditions of surrounding soils and subsequent vegetation loss. Management actions to minimize
the effects of soil disturbance in terms of soil compaction and erosion will be as follows:
• Where practical, route selection shall minimize the traversing of soils highly prone to
erosion.
• Where practical, civil construction shall be during the low rainfall season.
• The period for which the soil is left open to erosion shall be minimized.
• Access track drains shall discharge run-off water in a manner that does not lead to
sedimentation or erosion i.e. low gradient, broad outlets.
• Sediment or silt barriers such as sand bags shall be used where required.
17 | P a g e
• Trench and hydro test water shall be discharged through sediment filters.
The main air emissions during the construction phase will be dust emissions arising from earthworks,
the movement of construction vehicles, exhaust emissions from vehicles and machinery contributing
to greenhouse gas emissions. The management actions to minimize impacts of air emissions are
presented below:
• Water unsealed roads and construction site(s) during dry and windy conditions, as
required.
• Machinery and equipment shall be fitted with appropriate mufflers on the exhaust
systems. These shall be maintained and replaced if excessive noise is produced.
• Notify potentially impacted local residents if construction may lead to excessive dust
generation.
Noise and vibration will be generated during construction of the buildings. Construction noise has
the potential to impact on local residents, particularly at times when construction is required to be
carried out over 24 hour periods. The management actions to minimize impacts of noise & vibration
are presented as:
• Construction camp stores and stockpiles shall be located as far as possible from noise
sensitive areas.
Management actions to minimize the potential risk/impact of contamination from fuels, oils or
hazardous waste associated with construction on the environment and develop specific mitigation
measures where required are presented as follows:
• Dangerous goods shall be stored, handled and signed as per relevant legislation.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be located at the Site Office for all hazardous
and dangerous goods stored and used during construction. The Site Engineer is
responsible for compiling and updating the MSDS.
• Spills of hazardous materials will be contained and collected for treatment at a waste
disposal facility.
• Spill containment and treatment equipment and materials shall be available near
storage areas of hazardous materials.
• Totally enclosed containment shall be provided for all waste.
• All construction waste including litter, garbage, other solid waste, petroleum products,
and other potentially hazardous materials shall be removed to a municipal waste
disposal facility authorized to dispose of such materials.
15.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Procedure is to ensure that plans are in place to effectively control a hydrocarbon
or chemical spill situation whenever it arises.
15.2 Scope
All spills or suspected spills greater than 10L of hydrocarbon and chemical products, on land or into
the water, will be reported immediately to the Site Manager. The Site Manager will report the spill
immediately to the Project Manager. Appropriate Authorities will be informed only if the spill is
greater than 10L.
The report shall include details of the type of material spilled, the source of the spill and whether
the spill has reached the environment (e.g. drains, sumps or waterways).
• Fuel tank
• Mobile/stationery equipment
• Re-fuelling process
• Fuel cans
• Mobile/stationery equipment has been checked from plant department for any leaks
prior to mobilizing to site. In addition, bunds provided for all stationery equipment.
The bunds are emptied only after an inspection with HES representative to ensure that
oil/diesel traces aren’t visible.
• Fuel cans / barrels are safely stored in the hazardous material container.
• Inspections
19 | P a g e
15.5 Cleanup Procedure
The Site Manager or other designated person shall take charge of spill containment and cleanup.
Workers shall be assigned to assist with control and remedial measures. To facilitate quick response
Royal-Technic JV shall provide spill response kits. The spill cleanup procedure shall be:
• Always wear the appropriate PPE in accordance with MSDS requirements for the
material being cleaned.
• Deploy the booms around the outside edges of the spilled liquid.
• Ensure the booms are in direct contact with the applied surface.
• After containment, complete the cleanup process using available pads and pillows etc.
Reduce the surface area and facilitate further absorption by progressively pushing the
contaminated booms towards the centre of the spill.
• All used sorbents and clean up equipment, including the disposable PPE should then
be collected in the hazardous material bin and disposed in a municipal approved
disposal point.
16. DOCUMENTATION
The HSE Representative shall establish a controlled document register for nominated safety
documents.
• Incident Reports
• Attendance records
• Induction records
• Hazard reports
Royal-Technic JV has developed the above-mentioned documents, which are in the process of
continual improvement. Royal-Technic JV believes the success of the project will be dependent on
the adequacy of information in the field with respect to health and safety. The project manager will
delegate to the HSE Representative to keep the records relating to HSE issues.
