Al Taweelah Alumina ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY & HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLAN
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Environment, Safety and Health Management Plan (ES&HMP) is written specifically for Al
Taweelah Alumina.
The plan documents the management system that will be implemented to effectively eliminate or
control incidents that may have an adverse effect on the health and safety of team members or the
public, damage to plant and equipment, disruption of operations or impact on the surrounding
environment. The ES&HMP describes the intent of each element of the system with further detail
contained in the referenced Project procedures, plans and related systems and programs.
This ES&HMP is based on the Bechtel corporate philosophy of Zero Incident Performance. It is
consistent with the Bechtel Environmental, Safety and Health Management System and complies
with defined Owner standards, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, OHSAS 18001
Occupational Health and Safety Management System and the Abu Dhabi Environment, Health and
Safety Management System.
1.1 Application
This plan applies to all construction aspects of the Project including office based activities. The plan
is written for the BPJV but shall be the minimum standard for Contractors to adapt and amend for
their scope of work. Where specific BPJV approval authorities are stated in this plan, these
authorities are not transferable to the Contractor.

Al Taweelah Alumina ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY & HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Project is being built for the Owners, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) by BPJV. BPJV have
been appointed the Principal Contractor with a scope of services that includes detailed engineering,
procurement and construction management (EPCM). The construction services are executed by
Bechtel and Petrofac in a joint venture.

Figure 1 – Map showing the Al Taweelah Alumina Refinery location and BRSA location.
14 major contractors will undertake the construction activities with construction expected to
commence in the 1st quarter of 2015 and mechanical completion to occur in the first quarter of 2018.
Construction activities will generally be conducted between 6am and 6pm each day however, some
night works will occur for activities such as concrete pours or other heavy manual work to assist with
preventing heat related illnesses. It is expected that at construction peak approximately 8,000 people
will work on the Project.
Contact details for the Owner and BPJV are contained within Exhibit A
Confidential © 2014 Bechtel/Petrofac Joint Venture for Al Taweelah Alumina. All rights reserved.
Electronic documents, once printed, are uncontrolled and may become outdated.
Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
Al Taweelah Alumina shall meet all federal (UAE) and Emirate specific (Abu Dhabi) standards and
incorporate those requirements into the Project Specific ES&H procedures (see Exhibit E for a
mapping of Project procedures against legal requirements). Where Owner, legal and regulatory
ES&H requirements exist and overlap with the BPJV approach the more stringent, or best industry
practice will apply.
The key regulatory authorities for ES&H requirements at Al Taweelah Alumina are the Abu Dhabi
Environment, Health and Safety Center and the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi. The BPJV ES&H
Manager, in consultation with the Owner’s ES&H Manager, will jointly liaise with these authorities on
matters relevant to the Project and ensure an open and transparent relationship is maintained.
A register detailing the legal requirements for the Project shall be maintained and updated whenever
changes are identified.
Records will be maintained of all reports, communications to and site visits of statutory
representatives.
Records of legal changes will be maintained and those changes will be communicated to all relevant
personnel and staff working on the Project. Document version controls shall be used to detail
legislative changes within individual documents.

Electronic documents, once printed, are uncontrolled and may become outdated.
Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
Team Leaders will actively participate in regular meetings, reviews, workplace inspections and
forums as indicated in Exhibit C - Key ES&H Engagement Requirements. These activities and
participation levels will be monitored by the Project Manager and the ES&H Leadership Team and
shall be amended to reflect Project needs, identified trends, Owner requirements or corporate
requirements.
One of the Project’s most important values is conducting business with the greatest care for the
health and safety of our team members, the environment and the people in the community in which
we work. As a foundation for this value a Zero Incident Philosophy has been adopted for the Project
as the basis of the Project’s management. The philosophy is included as Exhibit B to this plan.
The Zero Incident Philosophy will be displayed in prominent places throughout the site and
communicated through the Project orientation programs.
BPJV personnel make a personnel commitment to Safety, Quality and Ethics via a personal Safety,
Quality and Ethics plan. A copy of an individual’s plan should be displayed in their work space as a
constant reminder of their commitment and goals. The principal value in this exercise comes from
the fact that plans cannot be written without giving some thought to personal attitude to health and
safety and areas of opportunity for improvement. This provides an opportunity to reflect upon
personal behaviour and commitment and to consolidate thoughts in a single, simple, short
statement.
4.1 Strategy
The Bechtel ES&H Management System, Standard Application Programs (SAP), Core Processes
(CPs) and Construction Standard Work Process and Procedures (SWPPs), Abu Dhabi EHSMS,
Environmental Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD), all other applicable legal requirements and Owner
requirements will form the basis of the Project ES&HMP.
Deviations from Al Taweelah Alumina standards will be reviewed and approved by the BPJV ES&H
Manager prior to implementation.

Electronic documents, once printed, are uncontrolled and may become outdated.
Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
Where a contractor’s procedure exceeds the minimum requirement of any Project procedure, or
covers a specific application not covered by Project procedures, the BPJV ES&H Manager will
review the procedure for use on the Project.
Procedures will be reviewed annually at a minimum to include improvements and reflect changing
conditions.
The ES&H Leadership team will be responsible for developing, communicating and implementing
short term strategy and improvement plans
Where work is conducted within the existing EGA Operating areas, operations procedures will be
adopted.
The Project leadership team will establish key objectives and performance targets for the Project to
achieve the overall objective of Zero Incidents. These targets will include positive, preventive or
safety-enhancement actions (lead) and measurements of past events or non-compliances (lag)
indicators.
Injury and illness statistics including Lost Time injuries, Restricted Work Day Injuries, Medical
Treatment injuries and heat stress cases
Recordable injury frequency rates
Number of days lost to injuriesNumber of audit non-compliances
Number of environmental incidents
Near miss/property damage incidents
Due to the size and complexity of the Project, the lead and lag indicators required to be reported
may change over time. As such, the reporting requirements will be detailed within the weekly and
monthly ES&H reporting templates issued to Contractors.
The objectives and targets will be reviewed by the ES&H Leadership Team on a quarterly basis and
used to develop an annual ES&H Implementation Plan. The objectives and targets will be Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Related (SMART) and communicated to all team
members.

A key feature of organisational capability is its adaptability to quickly and efficiently detect hazards
and control the changing operating environment as well as take advantage of opportunities without
exposing the Project to undue risk. This is achieved by having robust systems in place that routinely
test the environment and extract the appropriate information so informed decisions can be made in a
timely manner at all levels throughout the organisation.
The Project Manager will ensure that appropriate resources are made available for the effective
implementation of ES&H requirements. These resources will include:
Human – appropriate personnel available with the correct skills in the correct roles for
implementation and process control
Physical – robust designs/ planning and access to fit for purpose plant and other
equipment necessary for the implementation process
Financial – funding required for effective implementation is made available
Systems – robust operational and Environment, Safety and Health Systems
Clear assignment of accountability and responsibilities throughout the BPJV Project management
teams, supervisors and team members means that each person knows what they are expected to do
and what they are accountable for.
Responsibilities will be assigned to positions within the organisational structure, not individuals and
will be defined in a way that is appropriate for the position’s area of control. There will be no change
to the organisational structure without review of the impact to the ES&HMP responsibilities,
accountabilities and assignments in accordance with the change management process.
Each BPJV person delegated with a responsibility under the ES&HMP will have the qualifications,
experience and personal capability to fulfil their duties. They will have the necessary authority,
competency, resources and experience needed to complete their objectives.
ES&H responsibilities within the Project will be defined in each individual Project plan and procedure.
These responsibilities, and those of other team members, will be clearly stated in Project orientations
together with the Project’s behavioural expectations, goals and objectives.
Team Members with responsibilities beyond those of a team member will have their responsibilities
explained to them by their manager, with support from the ES&H Manager, as part of the Project on-
boarding process.

“Supervising Safely” or the AL Taweelah Field Leaders Orientation supplemented with additional,
Contractor specific training.
Various forums will be used to promote ES&H through communication, awareness, planning and
continuous improvement activities. These will include but not be limited to:
the ES&H Leadership Team
Contractor ES&H committees
People Based Safety (PBS) program
daily STARRT meetings
weekly toolbox meetings
Contractor pre-bid and kick off meetings
Contractor coordination and progress meetings
Project ES&H Team coordination meetings
ES&H bulletins and alerts
ES&H noticeboards
signs, labels and tags
This team will be chaired by the BPJV Site Manager with the remainder of the team being made up
of an Owner representative, BPJV ES&H Manager and Contractor's Site Managers. The team’s
primary function is to provide strategic direction for the entire Project with the focus on:

Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
The ES&H Leadership Team will meet weekly during the initial stages of the Project and thereafter
every fortnight. Further details on the ES&H Leadership Team are contained within the Consultation
/ ES&H Leadership Team Procedure (25875-000-GPP-GHX-00009).
This process is a key component of the Project’s ES&H program and a cornerstone of employee
involvement, consultation and behaviour management. It involves trained craft members conducting
observations on other craft members or groups, providing feedback on safe behaviours, identifying
error precursors and organisational weaknesses which could cause human error and coaching on at
risk behaviours. In order to positively influence ES&H performance, the PSS Team will work towards
completing a minimum of 400 PBS observations per 200,000 hours worked.
The PBS team will be championed by the BPJV Construction Site Manager and actively supported
by the ES&H Leadership Team and Contractors. To support the effort, each major Contractor will
have one on-site dedicated PBS Coordinator on staff.
PBS Team identified initiatives, trends and opportunities for improvement will be tabled with the
ES&H Leadership Team for review and agreement on implementation.
Further details of the Project’s PBS program are contained within the People Based Safety
Procedure (25875-000-GPP-GHX-00047).
Contractors with more than 50 employees will establish their own ES&H Committees to promote
internal awareness, communications and resolve issues within their area of responsibility.
Committees will comprise of contractor elected representatives, contractor management, contractor
Superintendents and ES&H Advisors.
Contractor committees will participate and review behaviour observation data, corrective action logs,
pre-STARRT and toolbox meetings to identify, and where possible, action, improvement opportunities.
Issues unable to be resolved at this level will be referred to the ES&H Leadership Team through the
Contractor’s Site Manager.
Contractor committees will meet once a month and their performance will be monitored by the ES&H
Leadership Team.
5.8 Communication
Two-way communication between all levels of the workforce and management is very important for
achieving the desired ES&H culture and outcomes.

These activities shall have control measures detailed in the ES&H Risk Register and within specific
Project procedures. The activities shall be subject to more frequent ES&H assessments in order to
verify and monitor that the required control measures have been implemented.
Any situation that has the potential to significantly impact the execution of the Project will be
identified on the Project risk register. This register contains all significant risks to the Project
including ES&H risks.
Additionally, a construction ES&H risk register will be developed which will contain all ES&H risks
identified for the Project. This risk register will identify the controls required to mitigate or minimise
the risks identified and a copy will be provided to all Contractors to ensure they are advised of any
controls that they must implement. The most current revision of the ES&H Risk Register is available
at any time from the BPJV ES&H Manager.
The Project engineering and design team will be responsible for the conduct of design and
constructability reviews. Risk controls that are required to be implemented by the construction team
will be incorporated into the Project ES&HMP, plans and procedures.
Risk assessments will be undertaken at the design, selection, procurement stages of acquiring plant
and equipment to avoid introducing uncontrolled hazards to the Project.
All documentation regarding the technical and operational specifications of plant and equipment will
be obtained and reviewed before a commitment is made to purchase or accept the plant and
equipment on site. All plant and equipment selected, designed and procured for a Project will comply
with relevant Local and ISO Standards, technical codes and guidelines.
Where work is completed in Brownfield areas and the work includes operational plant modification
and tie-in activities requiring shutdowns; it is crucial that consideration is given to the interface
between the contracted work and the daily operations of the site and the new or changed hazards
that are created.
The diagram below illustrates the relationship and interface between the Project activities and the
operational process, and the potential for the generation of new hazards.

Electronic documents, once printed, are uncontrolled and may become outdated.
Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
A risk assessment workshop will be conducted with operation team members to ensure that hazards
introduced by the interface of construction and operations are managed. An individual risk
assessment will also be conducted for each modification or tie-in to operational process plant.
Contractors are to develop Construction Work Plans for any high risk or technically challenging
scope of work or task identified by either the Contractor Project Manager or BPJV Management. The
proposed Construction Work Plan will then be reviewed for risk at a Risk Assessment Workshop.
The Risk Assessment Workshop will identify and analyse the controls required to safely complete
the particular scope of work. The information identified during the Risk Assessment Workshop will be
used to update or modify the Construction Work Plan as required
These mandatory workshops will involve the Project management team involved in the particular
contract, the contractor’s management and supervision as appropriate. At these workshops the
contractor’s work environment and work methodology will be reviewed, potential hazards identified,
risks assessed and actions agreed to mitigate the risks.
All risks identified in the workshop will be communicated by the contractor, to the contractor’s work
groups. Execution of work within the contract scope will be monitored through ongoing ES&H and
risk management, the application of audit processes, actioning improvement plans and ongoing
communications.
For Contractors whose work is not considered high risk or technically challenging, a scope of work
risk assessment shall be developed by the Contractor to document all risks and controls associated
with the proposed work. This risk assessment shall be submitted to the BPJV ES&H Manager at
least 7 days prior to commencing work on site for review and approval against Project requirements.

Electronic documents, once printed, are uncontrolled and may become outdated.
Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
JHAs will be completed by a cross section of the work group, the team leader and the Contractor
ES&H Advisor. The risk register and any relevant Construction Work Plans or higher level risk
assessments will be reviewed and the work site visited prior to completing the JHA to ensure higher
level controls are incorporated into the JHA.
All JHAs will be reviewed by the BPJV for accuracy, completion, and appropriate use of Project
procedures and other hazard controls before being signed by the team leader. The relevant
Superintendent will review and approve the JHA to ensure the content is appropriate and correct.
JHAs will be submitted to the ES&H Manager, or their nominee, for review prior to the job
commencing.
JHAs will be available at the workface and the contents communicated to all team members working
on that job. The ES&H Manager will maintain a register and copies of all JHAs.
The STARRT process will be implemented on the Project to promote team work, identification,
communication of hazards and controls, quality and application of the pre-task risk identification and
planning process.
Each team member or team assigned a specific task will complete a STARRT card prior to the
commencement of that task. Where there is interaction between a number of trades, separate cards
are to be completed for each work group and discussed by the whole team to ensure full
understanding of the task and hazard controls.
Contractor Supervisors will review their team’s STARRT cards prior to the task commencing to check
that all hazards have been identified and controlled and that team members fully understand the
hazards and their controls. Contractor Supervisors will sign the card as agreement to the
requirements of the job and any hazard controls implemented.
A hazard reporting and control process will be utilised to report and track the rectification of hazards
during construction.
Hazard reports will be entered and tracked to completion with progress monitored through weekly
contractor coordination meetings. Hazard report logs will also be submitted to the BPJV ES&H
Manager electronically each week for review and retention.
The minimum personal protective equipment (PPE) required on site will be:
hard hat
steel toe capped, lace up protective footwear (gumboots are permissible for those persons
working in wet conditions however, the gumboot must have a steel toe cap)
safety glasses with side shields
long sleeved shirt and long trousers OR Long sleeved coveralls. Note: clothing shall have
reflective tape on the torso or a high visibility vest shall be worn.
gloves are to be carried at all times and used for all manual tasks.

a welding visor is to be worn when conducting hot work. Specific details of the requirements for PPE
on the Project are detailed within the Project’s PPE procedure (25875-000-GPP-GHX-00088).
7.0 PLANNING
A review has been completed of the Bechtel and Owner requirements, legislative and local
Standards to compile Project procedures applicable to the identified construction risks.
The Project ES&H management plan and procedures will be implemented by all contractors. No
further management plans are required to be developed by contractors for the Project and no
procedures other than those approved by the ES&H Manager for use on the Project will be utilised.
A list of approved contractor procedures will be maintained by the ES&H Manager.
The monitoring and implementation of the ES&HMP will be through regular auditing of processes in
accordance with the self-assessment audit schedule of Exhibit D, hazard and housekeeping
inspections and behaviour observations.
This ES&HMP establishes program elements that apply throughout the lifecycle of the Project and
forms the basis for development of related Project procedures and plans, Environment, Safety and
Health related training and work practices during definition, construction and commissioning phases.
Safety and environmental integrity in design will be covered inside the engineering procedures.
Emergency Response capability will be provided by the Owner’s Emergency Response Team which
has the appropriate equipment, facilities and trained personnel and is capable of providing

Owner’s Operations Control Room. The phone number is to be identified in the Emergency
Preparedness procedure.
Emergency response drills and exercises will be scheduled and conducted regularly, including
liaison with and involvement of external response organisations and other stakeholders, as
appropriate. Any liaison with external organisations shall be facilitated by the Owner. Lessons
learned from emergency response drills, exercises and incidents will be documented, incorporated
into revisions of procedures and resources, and shared with stakeholders and others as appropriate.
Sufficient qualified first aid trained team members will be provided for each work area or team. The
Project will work towards a goal of one (1) qualified first aid person for each fifty (50) team members
or part thereof per work area. Such first aiders will be currently certificated to Senior First Aid level by
a UAE accredited body.
It will be a requirement that when any team is working in isolation or in a remote area (notably, the
BRSA), there shall be qualified first aider and a suitable first aid kit immediately available. This is to
be identified at the JHA development stage.
All injuries and illnesses shall be immediately taken to the Site Medical provider regardless of
whether a qualified first aider has already provided treatment.
7.3.2 Fires
Immediate response will be provided by the use of portable fire extinguishers. Contractors will
supply and maintain appropriately rated fire extinguishers consistent with the level of risk in each
area or for each task and Team Members shall be trained in their use. For fires that exceed the
immediate capabilities of the Contractor an emergency will be declared in line with the emergency
preparedness procedure requirements.
The primary means of declaring an emergency at a Project will be by the Project’s emergency phone
number.
Notification of an emergency will be made by the first person to identify the emergency situation.
A site evacuation process will be developed as part of the emergency preparedness procedure to
ensure the timely evacuation of all Project team members. A process for accounting for all persons
on the Project site to ensure they can be accounted for will also be established.
Signs and notices will be distributed through offices and crib facilities and displayed on noticeboards
to advise the following:

noticeboards. Any changes or additions to the assembly points will be communicated in the daily
information sheet.
Evacuation drills will be co-ordinated on a six monthly basis to test procedures and knowledge.
Opportunities for improvements will be identified and implemented.
Changes that may impact the safe execution of the Project will be reviewed to ensure that all
changes are analysed systematically, authorised by an appropriate authority, and implemented in a
manner that does not present an unacceptable risk to the workforce, the Owner, the environment or
the community. As a minimum:
Changes to the Project design basis or design criteria will be managed by Engineering
with input where required from Procurement and the Owner
Changes to ES&H legislation or Owner ES&H requirements will be managed by the ES&H
Manager
Changes that impact the Project Risk Register will be managed by the Risk Owner
Changes to an approved Construction Work Plan will be jointly managed by the Contractor
and BPJV Superintendents.
Changes to a task in the field will be managed using the re-STARRT process and
implemented by the Team Leader responsible for the work. Where the change involves
the introduction or change of a high risk activity or environmental risk or control, the BPJV
Superintendent shall review and approve the change.
Documents, plans and records will be updated to be consistent with the change.
A training needs analysis will be conducted to identify specific ES&H training requirements based on
this plan. Task-specific training will be identified through the analysis and a formal plan developed
defining the training course, presentation means, time required and target audience.
Contractors will develop training matrices for their scope of work which shall also identify applicable
legislative requirements and the matrices will be forwarded to the Project Training Co-ordinator for
consolidation and coordination.
All training shall be documented by the Contractor delivering the training and include the title of the
course, attendees full name and employee number, the name of the trainer, the date of the training
and a brief description of the training content.

The review of competency of these roles is conducted prior to a person conducting the role on site.
A site-wide orientation will be implemented for all Team Members. The orientation will be
supplemented by Project approved contractor-specific, task-specific and/or area-specific
orientations.
Team members and visitors will be made aware when inducted, and with follow up communication
and/or training, of relevant ES&H requirements, hazards, risks and controls and be given the
necessary competencies to conduct their activities and behave in a safe and responsible manner.
The following orientations are required to be completed by team members before authority to work
on the Project is approved.
BPJV and Contractor Team Leaders or other persons in a role that can directly influence craft, will
attend a Field Leaders Orientation on their first day to provide them with the essential skills and
knowledge to execute their ES&H and Leadership responsibilities. This orientation is designed as an
addition to the Project orientation and is to complement basic competency requirements and the
application of these principals to the Project.
This orientation will include all elements of the Project orientation and the following additions:

The Project will implement a Life Criticals Program to set clear expectations around key safety
procedures and define clear consequences if those expectations are not met. The Life Criticals are
safety requirements that, if not complied with, could result in death or serious harm.
These requirements will initially be conveyed at Orientation and then further communicated
throughout the life of the Project via posters, toolbox talks and pre-start meetings.
Any reported violations of a Life Critical requirement will be fully investigated. The consequences for
the Team Member violating the requirement will be decided by BPJV in consultation with Contractor
management following the investigation and may include site access removal. The Employer of the
person may also instigate disciplinary action up to and including, termination of employment.
The requirements of the Life Criticals Program are detailed in the Life Criticals Procedure (25875-
000-GPP-GHX-00060).
All ES&H forums including the ES&H Leadership Team and Contractor weekly coordination
meetings will involve Owner representation. Owners should also be intimately involved in the setting
of ES&H milestones and the recognition and celebration of achieving significant goals, exceptional
performance and initiatives.
In a proactive effort to achieve and promote zero incidents the Project will encourage the sharing of
ES&H information and technologies with both Owners and Contractors. This information can include
safety bulletins, lessons learned and alerts where applicable.
In addition any programs or technologies that are created on the Project that can benefit any
company at the site can be shared in a cooperative effort to promote a stronger ES&H culture.
A close out plan will be developed, reviewed and agreed upon by the Regional ES&H Manager. In
addition to the close out plan the Project will organise close out meetings with the Owner to
handover required ES&H materials and records.
Additionally, at the end of the Project information gathered over the life of the Project will be provided
to the Owner including:
Electronic documents, once printed, are uncontrolled and may become outdated.
Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
The nature, location and markings of significant services, including fire-fighting services
Information and as-built drawings of the structure, its plant and equipment and

Contractors to the Project will be evaluated to identify those who can demonstrate ES&H
performance that compliments the zero incident goal and Project objectives using pre-qualification
and selection processes.
Pre-bid and kick off meetings and pre-construction risk assessment workshops will be conducted
with Contractors prior to mobilisation to identify risks and issues and clarify the scope of work, the
expectations for behaviour and management of people and hazards.
Contractors’ performance will be regularly monitored through the allocation of dedicated Project
management teams, weekly coordination meetings, ES&H committees, audits, behaviour
observations and inspections. Contractors will be audited in accordance with the schedule contained
within the Project ES&H implementation plan.
In order to administer the requirements of the ES&H system, Contractors shall ensure each work
area has at least 1 full time, site based ES&H Advisor and maintain a ratio of 1 ES&H Advisor per 50
employees (or part thereof) for the duration of their work on site. Contractors shall appoint a qualified
ES&H Manager with at least 3 years Management experience and 5 years ES&H experience when
the scope of work requires 100 employees or more to work on the Project or when the scope of work
is considered high risk in nature. The ES&H Manager shall not be counted as an ES&H Advisor to
meet the 1:50 ratio.
All ES&H Advisors shall have formal ES&H qualifications and a minimum 3 years documented
experience in the scope of work being performed and may be subject to BPJV ES&H Manager
approval.
ES&H risks associated with suppliers of goods and services will be assessed and managed.

or cause adverse ES&H impacts over their lifecycle.
Processes will be in place to ensure the ES&H performance of suppliers, contractors and partners
and their compliance with ES&H obligations specified in their contracts, are monitored and reported.
Each contractor will be assigned a Superintendent who will act as a single point of contact for all
contractual issues and who will facilitate weekly contract coordination meetings. Contractors will also
be assigned an ES&H resource who will act as the single point of contact for all ES&H issues and
who will provide coaching and instruction in the application of the ES&HMP and processes,
participate in area inspections, conduct audits and provide feedback on performance.
Outputs will be reviewed at contractor progress meetings which will be chaired by the BPJV
Superintendent responsible for contractor performance.
Further details of performance management are contained within Project procedure 25875-000-
GPP-GHX-00017 – ES&H Assessment and Performance Management.
11.1 Implementation
Contractors will submit an implementation plan based on the Project plan and the ES&H
requirements outlined in the contract documents, ES&HMP and Project procedures provided to all
bidders within 30 days of mobilisation to site. As part of the plan an overall risk analysis is to be
included for the defined scope of work. ES&H implementation plans will be reviewed and approved
by the ES&H Manager.
Depending on the complexity and size of the scope of work, the requirement for the supply of an
implementation plan may be waived by the Site Manager on the understanding that the specific
scope of work will fall directly under the Project plan.
ES&H implementation plans will be regularly audited and implementation progress tracked and
reported.
11.2 Monitoring
The implementation and effectiveness of the Project’s and Contractor’s ES&HMPs and standards in
eliminating or controlling risk will be monitored by Project management utilising a range of both lead
and lag indicators.

Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
The ES&H Leadership Team will constantly review past performance and identify opportunities for
improvement. These improvements will be implemented through:
All craft Team Members working at a Project site will be required to complete a pre-employment
medical assessment by a licensed Physician at their point of origin prior to orientation and
mobilisation. The assessment will be based on the physical demands and working environment
conditions expected of the proposed position and will meet the requirements of Abu Dhabi Code of
Practice # 5.0 “Occupational Health Screening and Medical Surveillance” and Abu Dhabi Code of
Practice # 11.0 “Safety in the Heat” .
A risk assessment of occupational health risks will be conducted as part of the contract scope of
works and the contractor mobilisation process. The risk assessment will be used to identify specific
exposures to various occupational groups and classify exposures in accordance with the predicted
level of risk utilising existing data and evaluations.
A sampling schedule based on residual risk i.e. after the application of controls and assessment of
known exposures based on empirical data, will be subsequently developed by the responsible
Contractor. Sampling and analysis of samples shall only be conducted by qualified Industrial
Hygienists.
Medical surveillance requirements for specific exposures will be determined for those individuals or
groups that approach known occupational exposure limits for specific hazards, including hazardous
substances, radiation, noise, vibration etc.
The Project’s testing and monitoring regime will be established based on:
Those situations where workforce health surveillance is identified and appropriate systems
implemented. Team members will have access to their own individual results
prevalence and incidence of work-related illness will be recorded, assessed and reviewed
Records of ongoing testing and monitoring will be maintained by the responsible Contractor and
shall be submitted to the BPJV ES&H Manager for collation and sharing. Appropriate processes will
be implemented by the responsible Contractor to ensure the reliability of data, such as the calibration
of instruments, test equipment, and software and hardware sampling.

Further details of the Project’s Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene requirements are
contained within the Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene procedure (25875-000-GPP-GHX-
00043).
11.5 Inspections
The Project’s audit and inspection regime will be established to check compliance and performance
of executed work and activities are to plan. The inspection regime includes:
statutory inspections
audits related to the risk register
work area inspections
safety compliance inspections, e.g. firefighting equipment
equipment compliance/ fitness for purpose
hazards and housekeeping
The inspection and audit schedule is included as Exhibit D and further details of the requirements for
audits and inspections are contained within the ES&H Assessment and Performance Monitoring
procedure (25875-000-GPP-GHX-00017). Copies of all inspections and audits will be provided to the
BPJV ES&H Manager to allow for trending and filing for legislative purposes.
All significant ES&H incidents will be investigated and analysed to determine the contributing factors
and underlying causes using a Root Cause Analysis process or other approved process. All other
incidents are considered to be Level 1 or 2 incidents and will be investigated using the 5 why’s
process. Training in incident investigation requirements shall be provided to BPJV and Contractor
Team Leaders and ES&H Advisors by the ES&H Manager.
The investigations will be completed to determine preventative actions and will be tracked and
monitored at each week’s contractor coordination meeting and Project ES&H Advisor coordination
meeting.
Project and contractor ES&H Advisors will be trained as lead investigators. Supervisors will be
provided with basic investigation and analysis skills. All training sessions will be facilitated by a
Project approved facilitator.
The Bechtel corporate reporting systems including 0-60 incident notifications and the Web Safety
Data System (SDS) will continue to be maintained in parallel with Project requirements. A copy of
the initial notification form and investigation will be provided to the Owner to meet their own internal
reporting requirements.
The BPJV ES&H Manager, or delegate, in consultation with and approval from the Owner, will act as
a single point of contact for the reporting of significant health, safety or environmental incidents and
breaches of environmental licenses to statutory authorities and stakeholders including the Abu Dhabi

Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
Environment, Health and Safety Center and KIZAD. The reporting of incidents to these external
stakeholders shall be in accordance with the Stakeholder’s requirements and timescales.
All injury frequency rates will be calculated using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) formula of (Number of injuries and illnesses X 200,000) / Employee hours worked) =
incidence rate.
The findings, conclusions and recommendations reached as a result of inspection and testing,
audits, reviews and incident investigations will be documented and appropriate corrective actions
identified, with the aim of ensuring a repetition will not occur.
Before planning corrective and preventive action, sufficient investigation should be completed to
identify both the immediate and the underlying causes of the incident or non-compliance.
Corrective actions are those that are to be implemented to correct damage that has occurred as a
result of the incident or injury. Preventative actions are those that prevent the incident re-occurring.
ES&H Advisors will monitor the control measures that are proposed to be put in place to ensure
compliance with the Project standards. Additional control measures may be proposed following the
review and analysis of all corrective actions.
All actions and controls necessary to prevent recurrence are to be determined in line with the
hierarchy of controls and assigned to individuals to close out within the agreed timeframes.
The Project is committed to the prompt rehabilitation and return to work of any team member injured
during the course of their employment. Contractors will coordinate their own rehabilitation processes
with the oversight of the BPJV ES&H Manager who will also coordinate the rehabilitation needs of
BPJV team members.
Where a team member’s injuries are such that the person is capable of performing alternative duties
those duties will be provided where possible.
Where a team member is injured through a non-work related activity, such as weekend sports,
similar services will be provided with respect to alternative duties and return to work. Team
members are required to report such injuries so that they are not assigned tasks that may aggravate
the injury or result in the team member or others being placed at increased risk.
The management of the return to work of injured or ill team members will be the responsibility of
individual employers who will nominate a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator.
Contractor’s rehabilitation programs will be consistent with legislation and will be submitted to the
BPJV ES&H Manager prior to mobilisation for approval.

Electronic documents, once printed, are uncontrolled and may become outdated.
Refer to the electronic documents in the project electronic database for current revisions.
Weekly, monthly and quarterly ES&H reports will be produced by each contractor and submitted to
BPJV. Data from these will be used by BPJV to compile weekly and monthly ES&H reports for the
Owner and any external reports required.
The Project will produce a detailed monthly report which will include performance against key
performance indicators for the Project, a summary of ES&H initiatives and actions and brief details of
any incidents. The report will cover input and output metrics, significant incident summaries and
significant ES&H activities. The report will also indicate participation rates of teams in the various
ES&H program elements and will provide input to the incentive programs.
Further requirements for auditing and review are contained with ES&H Assessment and
Performance Monitoring Procedure (25875-000-GPP-GHX-00017).
ES&H audits are conducted monthly on a schedule with the audit focus selected to be
commensurate with the level of consequence, severity or risk exposure i.e. risks with a greater
consequence are audited more frequently on the audit schedule. ES&H audits are supplemented
with detailed and documented work area inspections each week which also form part of the Project’s
formal assessment program.
Exhibit D lists the frequency of audits for specific activities or risks identified for the Project. Items
identified as Critical Risks (i.e. those risks on the Project Risk Register) will be audited every 3
months to ensure that the control measures implemented to mitigate those risks are in place and
effective.
External audits will be carried out by persons independent of the Project’s activity, with the technical
and functional expertise to enable them to undertake a valid assessment. External audits expected
during the Project include:
Records and results of all internal and external audits will be maintained. Corrective action and/or
improvement plans will be developed, recorded and implemented to address non-conformities
identified.
