2 INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE

The objective of this Global Standard is to minimize the risks of working at height.

Mandatory is to:
 To assign a process owner for implementing this procedure;
 Apply the handbook “Safe working at height” during implementation;
 Implement all necessary safety measures to minimize risks when working at height;
 To have PPE available for all personnel working at height (both contractors and own employees);
 To make sure personnel is trained in safe working at height (both contractors and own employees);
 To inspect the working area before starting working at height;
 To have a rescue plan prepared before working at height.

3 SCOPE

This Global Supply Chain Global Global Standard

Safety is mandatory for all HEINEKEN Operating Companies and all non-HEINEKEN companies producing a
HEINEKEN owned brand (e.g. licensees).

Should local legislation in the country of production be stricter than this Global Standard, these requirements
must be met.

5.2 Process Steps

Step 1 Pre-conditions
When working at height, the following pre-conditions shall always be met:
A. Weather conditions must be stable. Work at height cannot be performed in case of snow and / or
ice in the working area, lightning, heavy rainfall and at wind speed of 7 Beaufort or higher.
B. All involved personnel (including contractors) must be specifically trained in working at height and
in the use of all needed equipment (ladders, scaffolds, platforms, PPE etc.);
C. Used equipment is safe. All equipment used for working at height shall be provided with an
identification tag. The production unit will maintain and periodically inspect all equipment.
 Fixed engineering installations;
 Temporarely engineering installations;
 Scaffolds;
may not be used, copied, and/or reproduced in whole or in part for any purpose, unless such usage, copying and/or reproduction has been specifically permitted in writing by Heineken Supply Chain B.V., The Netherlands.

 Fixed and movable ladders;

 PPE.
To assure the equipment is safe, maintenance and inspection will be executed as required by the
supplier. Damaged equipment shall not be used and should be reported and tagged immediately.

Step 2 Define type of work

The type of work to be executed at height is influencing the needed safety measures. Working at height can
be defined as routine work or non-routine work. Routine work can be defined as work with:
 A frequency scheduled ≥ 1/year;
 A duration ≤ 1 shift;
 A full SOP available;
 Workers are specifically trained;
 Known work conditions.

If these definitions are not met, work is considered as non-routine work.

Step 3 Define workload

The workload of working at height is also influencing the needed safety measures. Workload can be light or
heavy. Light work is defined as work with:
 A duration < 30 min;
 Loads carried < 10 kg;
 Fixed engineering safety measures (roofs, other locations at height);
 Stable weather conditions;
 At least 3 points of contact and a height less than 6 m (when using a ladder).

If these definitions are not met, work is considered as heavy work.

Step 4 Apply safety measures

Depending on the type of work and the workload, safety measures are defined. The following safety
measures shall be in place:

Light, routine work:

This document including all information, drawings, designs or plans contained therein, is the property of Heineken Supply Chain B.V., The Netherlands and all intellectual property therein, including all proprietary and confidential information, know-how, designs and/or data, remains vested in and

The applicable checklists, depending on the type of work (Appendix B, C, D, E and F) shall be applied before
starting working at height.

Light, non-routine work:

A safe work permit has to be requested. On top of this, a risk assessment has to be conducted. In this risk
assessment, the following aspects are considered:
 Safe access to working location at height;
 Weather conditions;
 Collective versus individual (PPE) safety measures;
 Roof and/or ceiling conditions;
 Interior and exterior wall conditions;
 Required training;
may not be used, copied, and/or reproduced in whole or in part for any purpose, unless such usage, copying and/or reproduction has been specifically permitted in writing by Heineken Supply Chain B.V., The Netherlands.

 Condition of required PPE.

Based on the risk assessment and the hierarchy of control, the proper safe way of working is selected and
additional safety measures are defined.

Heavy, routine work:

Heavy, routine work has to be executed according to a full SOP by trained personnel.

Heavy, non-routine work:

A safe work permit has to be requested. On top of this, a risk assessment has to be conducted. In this risk
assessment, the following aspects are considered:
 Safe access to working location at height;
 Weather conditions;
 Fixed and temporary engineering installations for working at height;
 Roof and/or ceiling conditions;
 Interior and exterior wall conditions;
 Required training;
 Required PPE.

Based on the risk assessment and the hierarchy of control, the proper, safe way of working is selected and
additional safety measures are defined. In case of heavy non-routine work, technical engineering measures
are mandatory. The results of the risk assessment shall be communicated with and acknowledged by all
involved workers.

Required training is both theoretical and practical and is covering the following subjects (if applicable):
 Recognizing hazards related to working at height;
 Knowledge of collective and individual safety measures;
 Safe use of working at height equipment, if applicable (e.g. ladders, scaffolds, aerial platforms);
 Safe use of PPE, if applicable (e.g. safety harness, lanyards, fall arrest systems);
 Safe use of rescue equipment, if applicable.

Step 5 Prepare a rescue plan

This document including all information, drawings, designs or plans contained therein, is the property of Heineken Supply Chain B.V., The Netherlands and all intellectual property therein, including all proprietary and confidential information, know-how, designs and/or data, remains vested in and

A specific rescue plan has to be prepared. This rescue plan is including the availability of trained rescue
workers and rescue equipment for working at height. The rescue plan is covering the availability of a safe
emergency exit, emergency response, rescuing workers at height, rescue equipment, first aid and medical
assistance. The emergency team and the first aid squad are informed on this rescue plan.

Step 6 Safety check of working area

Before working at height can be started, the working area shall be checked. This can be done by applying
the applicable checklists in Appendix B, C, D, E and F, applicable Safety Cards and by applying a Last Minute
Risk Assessment (LMRA).

In case of non-routine work, the safe work permit shall only be signed off after the safety check of the
working area is performed and no deviations has been detected. Pictures shall be taken to proof all safety

measures mentioned on the safe work permit are in place.

Step 7 Execute work at height

When all requirements of step 1 to 6 are met, the work at height can be executed. If working conditions are
changing during the job, work has to be stopped. After consultation of all stakeholders, additional safety
measures have to be considered or work has to be postponed.

6 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

This Global Standard/new requirements will be applicable from as from issuing date.

7 VERIFICATION

The following items have to be present in case of internal or external verification:

 Have process owner assigned;
 Have SOP’s in place for all routine work at height.

These documents have to be kept by the unit for at least 3 years.
