7. Operational HSE Requirements

7.1 Competency Training
Training shall be given as and when required to maintain high levels of competency. No person shall
perform any job function for which he has not been fully trained and accepted, by testing, with his
supervisor. To be competent they must have the training (certified where required by law) and experience
to understand when a situation is controlled and what to do if it is not.
The following categories have specialised training/evaluation and will carry an ID card as proof that they
are ‘competent’ in the eyes of the company.
• Drivers
• Machine operators (Bench saw, Disc cutter, Table saw etc).
7.2 Hazardous Operations
All operations will be checked for risk level status following ATLAS-HSEP: Hazard Identification and Risk
Assessment Procedure. This will first generate the Hazard Identification Form. A risk assessment and
possibly a method statement may also be generated as dictated by the findings of a HAZID Form.
This process will be undertaken by the Project Manager with the support of the HSE Team and other
specialists as deemed appropriate. Site specific control measures will be devised, as required, to reduce
risks. The Site Agents will ensure all team members are trained in all control measures. The Site specific
control measures will form the basis of Site inspections and audits.
Personnel asked to carry out hazardous operations must be fully aware of the hazards, the control methods
to be used and be fully conversant with any equipment in use during the operations. Emergency procedure,
spill response, medical requirements and contact numbers must be notified to all personnel involved.
The person in charge of the operation/task must give a toolbox talk to all concerned personnel on the
findings of the HAZID Form and/or the Risk Assessment. On completion, a roster to confirm attendance
must be signed by all attendees and filed with the Site HSE File.
7.3 Hazardous Materials
Prior to any hazardous materials being delivered to Site the stores section must obtain a Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) and a copy must be filed with the HSE Rep and Site nurse (if available). The data
therein must be checked to ensure that:
a) All necessary HSE precautions for the material are taken

b) All necessary PPE is available for workers
10

Rev. No.: 00
c) Correct and sufficient first aid requirements are available

d) The correct use and storage of the material
e) Material is included in the Risk Assessment and Method Statement for any task
f) Correct and appropriate disposal of the material, bi/products or waste
When the materials are issued the stores section must provide a copy of the MSDS to the task supervisor
that will be using it. The MSDS must also be known and understood by anyone completing a risk
assessment for a task that utilises a hazardous coded material. This will be made obvious, in most cases,
by the hazard labelling on the product.
7.4 Machinery, Tools and Equipment
All machinery, tools, and equipment will be kept in good condition, provided with proper guards, and
serviced as per manufacturer’s recommendations. Records for servicing, repairs or modifications are kept
in the central stores and can be viewed, by anyone with a genuine interest, upon request.
All personnel operating such machinery will be trained in its use; anyone found operating without training
or instruction would be reprimanded as per ATLAS-HSEP- HSE Disciplinary Procedures.
It is the responsibility of Foremen and Charge-hands to ensure the personnel being utilised for a task are
trained to use the machinery, tools and equipment necessary for that task to be achieved. In addition they
must also ensure that all steps, to reduce the risk to an acceptable level, have been carried out and that
any additional controls or PPE requirements are in place prior to commencing operations.
7.5 Pneumatic and Hydraulic Tools and Equipment
Pneumatic and hydraulic powered equipment carries a greater risk for injury to the operator thus strict
adherence to manufacturer’s recommendations, good working practices and the law must be observed.
Goggles or face shield and eye protection are mandatory when operating pneumatic and hydraulic powered
equipment.
All personnel operating pneumatic or hydraulic powered machinery will be trained in its use; anyone found
operating without training or instruction will be reprimanded as per ATLAS-HSEP- HSE Disciplinary
Procedures.

Rev. No.: 00
7.6 Small Electrical and Hand Tools
Temporary wires, extension leads, electrical cables and hoses will be kept off the walking surfaces and
routed in an orderly manner so as not to present a slip, trip or falling hazard. Where such leads cross a
road, walkway or access the person in charge of its use must ensure that it is protected sufficiently so as
not to allow any unnecessary wear and tear and to reduce the risk of it causing an incident.
All repairs will be carried out by qualified personnel and noted in the logbook held by the central stores.
Breaks in wires must either be vulcanised repairs or the lead replaced with new flex/cable.
All small electrical tools and equipment must be rated for 110V. Any hand tools requiring voltage exceeding
110V must be notified to the Client’s Representative and dispensation requested. Where supply is taken
from 240V, step down transformers must be used.
If any other supply (240V, 330V, 440V) is used the entire electrical distribution system must have Earth
Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCB) fitted and tested by a competent electrician.
All personnel operating electrical tools will be trained in its use; anyone found operating without training or
instruction would be reprimanded as per ATLAS-HSEP- HSE- Disciplinary Procedures.
trained to use the small electrical and hand tools necessary for that task to be achieved. In addition they
must also ensure that all steps, to reduce the risk to an acceptable level, have been carried out and that
any additional controls or PPE requirements are in place prior to commencing operations.
7.7 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
All people working for ATLAS and any other contractor on the THE LOFT will be appropriately dressed for
the job they are performing. Mandatory PPE for Site areas is safety footwear (steel toed), fluorescent vest
and hardhat.
The supervisor, of the worker requiring it, must provide additional job specific PPE. In turn the employee
must maintain and use the correct PPE that is provided to him. It is the responsibility of the Site store
keeper to ensure adequate supply of PPE for the number of workers at Site.
The Foremen and Charge-hands, with the assistance of the HSE section, must check that all personnel
are in compliance with Policies, Procedures, Plans and relevant regulations during all work/operations and
tasks.

7.8 Working at Night (or in places of low illumination)
Illumination levels will be kept within safe parameters and will be checked regularly, by the PMT and HSE
Representative, with a lux level meter.
Item Lux required

Interior and general movement 5 lux
General exterior work, unloading, handling materials, etc. 10 lux
Clearing, rough works, interior work places, etc. 15 lux
Interior Work 100 lux
Interior workshops Activity 400 lux
Drawing boards (architects), fine work 600 lux
Records will be kept of any checks and readings. If the levels are below those examples given above it is
the responsibility of the Site Agent to add more temporary lighting.
Work place lighting must be sufficient, well planned, of the right type and in the correct place for it to be
fully effective. This will be determined during the risk assessment process for any task and ought not to
introduce an increased risk of electric shock.
7.9 Working With Temporary Platforms
Temporary platforms, towers and access staging must be fully assessed through the risk assessment
process. If a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) is to be used the operators must complete and be
certified by the hire company or another competent person.
A register must be maintained by a competent Engineer who can inspect the structure prior to use, after
changes and on a weekly basis.
7.10 Scaffolding
The type of scaffolding in use on the GUCCI is a mixture of tube & fit with several different systems.
Scaffolding must be built, by competent scaffolding personnel, The Scaff-tag system must be used as
well as “scaffold under construction” signs during erection and dismantling.
ATLAS staff will supervise all erection, dismantling and maintenance of the scaffolding required during the
construction process. Before the scaffold is loaded a thorough inspection will be carried out by the
competent supervisor (certified by an approved third party) and signed off for use.
A copy of the scaffolding register will be kept at Site and another given for the Site HSE file. All the required
details will be available on the scaffold design drawings and any vague or ambiguous detail will be
confirmed in writing by the scaffolding supplier’s design office before loading.

Rev. No.: 00
7.11 working at height

When a person is working at any height from the floor level where there is possibility to fall, then he is
considered to be ‘working at height’. At this point a temporary or mobile platform, barriers, guard-rails shall
be established.
Where a standard working platform, barrier, guard-rail or safety nets are not practicable, and risk of falling
still exists, a safe system of work must be designed by the PMT whilst following local guidelines. This safe
system may require the use of safety harnesses and lanyards and fall arrest blocks, but should be a last
resort.
The danger of any such fall arrest equipment is it only protects a person if they wear a harness and connect
the lanyard or fall arrest block. Any such system requires a high degree of training and supervision.
Scissor lifts and telescopic cherry pickers may be used at various stages of the project. Only those
personnel given training, from the supplier, are permitted to operate and manoeuvre them for any purpose.
Working platforms, Mechanical lifts and scaffolding are preferred before the use of ladders. Wherever
ladders are in use strict adherence to local guidelines, UAE law and the colour coding system must be
enforced.
7.12 Dust Controls
During dust storms, personnel shall be supervised to ensure that they work in a consistently safe manner
and if required the use of eye protection and / or dust masks are to be worn.
NOTE: work must be stopped if visibility or working conditions become unsafe due to dust and/or high
winds.
The potential for dust generation from work activities will be considered in Environmental Management.
7.13 Noise monitoring and controls
General noise levels will be monitored near to the source at a distance of 1, 2, and 5m. Five minutes of
reading time will be taken and the peak sound pressure will be taken. Working noise levels must also be
controlled so they do not affect surrounding works. Enclosures such as shrouds should be put around
generators for example; to be sure they are kept within safe guidelines for safe noise levels.
Noise generated in work activities will be assessed by specific assessment. The PPE with correct
attenuation for hazardous noise levels will be selected from this assessment.
The first action level is 80dB (A) - Warning signs must be displayed, Workers notified and encouraged to
use the hearing protection provided
14

Rev. No.: 00
Second action level is 85dB (A) – Steps have to be taken to design out noise issues. In addition signage
and training must be given to those affected. NOTE that hearing protection is mandatory.
Environmental noise aspects and monitoring, concerning residential and/or neighbouring facilities, will be
dealt with Environmental Management to maintain municipality regulations.
8. Emergency, Evacuation and Medical Requirements
A general plot plan showing the THE LOFT project location. In addition to this, a Site specific emergency
and evacuation plan will also be in place, and will notify every one of the assembly points and escape
route(s). In addition to this, the route from the Location to the local hospitals can also be found.
The HSE Rep must check and maintain:
• Assembly points with, green ‘Assembly Point’ signs, correctly located and kept clear with
demarcation line if required.

Basic fire fighting will be taught to a minimum of 2% of the workforce. The Project Manager shall ensure
that there is sufficient coverage throughout the Site. Fire extinguishers shall be placed and maintained at
the Site office, Site workshops and near to distribution boards. In addition to this, all mobile plant and any
other place that is deemed appropriate shall have access to fire fighting equipment.
In the event that a fire is too large or complicated to tackle all personnel must retire a safe distance with
the means of escape behind them. Assembly points will be appointed and signs erected to show the
15

Rev. No.: 00
location. In the event of a fire personnel will be asked to go to the assembly point where a role call will be
done to identify anyone missing
The role call will be carried out by the fire marshal who will take charge until the arrival of the emergency
services.
A person nominated by the fire marshal shall be sent to the Site entrance to direct the emergency
services to the correct location with, small amount of delay as possible.
8.2 Medical and First Aid Facilities
A first aid room should be at the area offices at site and will be manned by a qualified first aid provider.
The contents of the first aid room will be as per UAE Labour Law, first aid boxes that will be placed in
clearly identifiable and readily accessible locations.
First aid supplies will be replenished on a regular basis, as reported by the HSE Advisor and a company
nurse, to ensure the supplies are maintained to meet the requirements of the UAE Labour Law. First aid
boxes will be checked monthly and records kept by the company nurse to ensure compliance.
All minor first aid cases shall be recorded in a first aid treatment log as well as more serious first aid that
is rendered by a company nurse being recorded at the first aid station. Both records will feature on the
Site weekly report compiled by the HSE Rep.

10. Welfare Facilities
10.1 Potable Water
An adequate supply of cool drinking water will be made available on Sites and workshop areas by
installing water coolers and/or thermos flasks (IGLOO). The IGLOOS must be thoroughly checked and
cleaned, by the gang Supervisors, to ensure prevent contamination.
During the hotter months best practices will be followed and isotonic drinks will be made available to the
workforce to assist in electrolyte replenishment. A specific water deployment and management plan will
be devised and reviewed separately to this HSE Plan.
All heat related cases (serious, moderate, or minor) will be reported to the ATLAS HSE Department for
tracking and strategy development information.
