Legal compliance must be maintained with local laws and regulations affecting the activities of the
site/workplace including building and construction codes, regulations, orders, and rules.
DAR ENGINEERING shall continually identify project HSE risks and seek effective and reliable means to
control these risks to an acceptable level. From these identified HSE risks, additional policies, procedures,
equipment, compliance programs, or special training required to control the risk of project activities shall
be developed, communicated, monitored, and adjusted.
Hazard analysis and risk assessment planning, the basis of the risk register, is an ongoing process occurring
throughout the life of the project. Hazard analysis and risk assessment planning should address items such
as: routine and non-routine activities; activities of all persons having access to the workplace (including
contractors, lower-tier contractors, visitors, and client representatives); any outside hazards that might
impact the workplace
or the people in the workplace; hazards associated with materials or equipment being used in the
workplace; any changes or modifications, processes, contractual requirements, safety system changes; and
any human factor or capability issues.
The objective of a Risk Assessment is to identify project-related hazards and develop methods to deal with
those hazards. DAR ENGINEERING shall ensure identification and mitigation of all the risks on the project
by compiling HSE Risk Register for both Office and Site and by ensuring that the Contractors compile
activity-based Risk Assessment related to their works and as per requirements of the Contract.
All Risk Assessments and associated Method Statements shall be submitted for review prior to the
commencement of the works. DAR ENGINEERING shall ensure that the Contractors shall proceed with the
work / operation in hazardous locations until the Risk Assessment and associated work Method Statement
have been reviewed and No objection status has been given in Aconex by DAR ENGINEERING or ROSHN.

The Contractor is responsible for the formation of a formal Accident / Incident Review Board, the
investigation, and preparing and submitting the Accident / Incident Investigation Report for all
As little time as possible should be lost between the moment of an accident or near miss and the beginning
of the investigation. In this way, one is most likely to be able to observe the conditions as they were at the
time, prevent disturbance of evidence, and identify witnesses. The tools that members of the investigating
team may need (pencil, paper, camera, film, camera flash, tape measure, etc.) should be immediately
available so that no time is wasted.
Many models of accident causation have been proposed, ranging from Heinrich's domino theory to the
sophisticated Management Oversight and Risk Tree (MORT).
The simple model shown in Figure attempts to illustrate that the causes of any accident can be grouped
into five categories - task, material, environment, personnel, and management. When this model is used,
possible causes in each category should be investigated. Each category is examined more closely below.
1..8 Task
Here the actual work procedure being used at the time of the accident is explored. Members of the accident
investigation team will look for answers to questions such as:
1..9 Material
To seek out possible causes resulting from the equipment and materials used, investigators might
ask:
Was there an equipment failure?
What caused it to fail?
Was the machinery poorly designed?
Were hazardous substances involved?
Were they clearly identified?
Was a less hazardous alternative substance possible and available?
Was the raw material substandard in some way?
Should personal protective equipment (PPE) have been used?
Was the PPE used?
Were users of PPE properly trained?
1..10 Environment
The physical environment, and especially sudden changes to that environment, are factors that need to be
identified. The situation at the time of the accident is what is important, not what the "usual" conditions
were. For example, accident investigators may want to know:
1..11 Personnel
The physical and mental condition of those individuals directly involved in the event must be explored. The
purpose for investigating the accident is not to establish blame against someone but the inquiry will not be
complete unless personal characteristics are considered. Some factors will remain essentially constant
while others may vary from day to day:
1..12 Management
Management holds the legal responsibility for the safety of the workplace and therefore the role of
supervisors and higher management and the role or presence of management systems must always be
considered in an accident investigation. Failures of management systems are often found to be direct or
indirect factors in accidents.
Before attempting to gather information, examine the site for a quick overview, take steps to preserve
evidence, and identify all witnesses. In some jurisdictions, an accident site must not be disturbed without
prior approval from appropriate government officials such as the coroner, inspector, or police. Physical
evidence is probably the most non-controversial information available. It is also subject to rapid change or
obliteration; therefore, it should be the first to be recorded. Based on your knowledge of the work process,
you may want to check items such as:
Although there may be occasions when you are unable to do so, every effort should be made to interview
witnesses. In some situations, witnesses may be your primary source of information because you may be
called upon to investigate an accident without being able to examine the scene immediately after the
event. Because witnesses may be under severe emotional stress or afraid to be completely open for fear
of recrimination, interviewing witnesses is probably the hardest task facing an investigator.
Witnesses should be kept apart and interviewed as soon as possible after the accident. If witnesses have
an opportunity to discuss the event among themselves, individual perceptions may be lost in the normal
process of accepting a consensus view where doubt exists about the facts.
1..15 Interviewing
Interviewing is an art that cannot be given justice in a brief document such as this, but a few do's and don'ts
can be mentioned. The purpose of the interview is to establish an understanding with the witness and to
obtain his or her own words describing the event:
DO…
Put the witness, who is probably upset, at ease.
Emphasize the real reason for the investigation, to determine what happened and why?
Let the witness talk, listen.
Confirm that you have the statement correct.
Try to sense any underlying feelings of the witness.
Make short notes or ask someone else on the team to take them during the interview.
Ask if it is okay to record the interview if you are doing so.
Close on a positive note.
DO NOT…
A third, and often an overlooked source of information, can be found in documents such as technical data
sheets, health and safety committee minutes, inspection reports, company policies, maintenance reports,
past accident reports, formalized safe-work procedures, and training reports. Any pertinent information
should be studied to see what might have happened, and what changes might be recommended to prevent
recurrence of similar accidents.
1..17 Knowing the factors when making the analysis and conclusions
At this stage of the investigation most of the facts about what happened and how it happened should be
known. This has taken considerable effort to accomplish but it represents only the first half of the objective.
Now comes the key question--why did it happen? To prevent recurrences of similar accidents, the
investigators must find all possible answers to this question.
You have kept an open mind to all possibilities and looked for all pertinent facts. There may still be gaps in
your understanding of the sequence of events that resulted in the accident. You may need to reinter view
some witnesses to fill these gaps in your knowledge.
When your analysis is complete, write down a step-by-step account of what happened (your conclusions)
working back from the moment of the accident, listing all possible causes at each step. This is not extra
work: it is a draft for part of the final report. Each conclusion should be checked to see if:
It is supported by evidence.
The evidence is direct (physical or documentary) or based on eyewitness accounts, or
The evidence is based on assumption.
This list serves as a final check on discrepancies that should be explained or eliminated.
The most important final step is to come up with a set of well-considered recommendations designed to
prevent recurrences of similar accidents. Once you are knowledgeable about the work processes involved
and the overall situation in your organization, it should not be too difficult to come up with realistic
recommendations. Recommendations should:
Be specific.
Be constructive.
Get at root causes.
Identify contributing factors.
Resist the temptation to make only general recommendations to save time and effort.
Install mirrors at blind corners where required throughout the worksite (general)
Never make recommendations about disciplining a person or persons who may have been at fault.
This would not only be counter to the real purpose of the investigation, but it would jeopardize the chances
for a free flow of information in future accident investigations.
In the unlikely event that you have not been able to determine the causes of an accident with any
certainty, you probably still have uncovered safety weaknesses in the operation. It is appropriate that
recommendations be made to correct these deficiencies.
1..19 Closeout
After the final Report, the incident accident investigation shall be closed:
Close out report shall be prepared and submitted to ROSHN showing action taken as
recommended in the investigation report.
Lesson learned shall be share with DAR/ROSHN to share throughout project.
OHSE documents, plans, JHA shall be updated if any shortcomings are found in incident
investigation report.
1..20 Injury and damage reporting
DAR ENGINEERING shall ensure that an immediate oral report and preliminary written report is made to
the Company Representative in the cases of all:
For accidents resulting in project fatality, serious injury to contractors/cub-con employee(s), or damage to
equipment or property, a written report shall be submitted promptly to the DAR ENGINEERING/ ROSHN. In
addition, ROSHN may convene an DAR ENGINEERING review or investigation committee in accordance with
the requirements, Notification Requirements for Incidents (including Fires), Guide for Committees
Investigating Major Incidents and Engineering Reviews of other Incidents.
Contractors shall maintain, in a format approved by the Company Representative, a current record showing
all:

Manual
Prior to calling a stop work, contractors’ employees and subcontractors must attempt to remove,
mitigate or isolate the hazard in conjunction with the controlling site supervisor.
If the contractors’ employees and subcontractors are not satisfied with the mitigation measure,
then they have the authority to stop work. The contractor’s employee must notify their safety
officers / safety managers of the stop work event immediately.
Establish the requirements for contractors’ personnel to stop work if they believe a danger exists

be delivered from this supply via a (readily available) filtration unit for that purpose. Such drinking water
will be daily freshly distributed in heat-insulated containers to "remote" workplaces. Certification of
filtration system tests results shall be approved by Client before distribution. And portable drinking water
should be tested on regular basis to check its portability and compliance with client requirements. All the
test resulted, and certificates should be properly documented.
5. Waste control
Waste shall be stored in designated area from where it shall be discarded as per ROSHN Environment
Procedures.
6. Cleaning of facilities
Contractors will provide separate team for housekeeping and project environmental department will
maintain inspection and record.
Tools, ropes and other materials not in use will be stored away and all rubbish cleared up
promptly.
Slippery surfaces will be treated immediately, as they are extremely dangerous;
Oily or greasy surfaces will be gritted or treated with industrial salt or sand (or other type of
appropriate absorbent material)
Drip trays will be sand filled and set beneath all machinery to prevent the development of oily,
slippery surfaces and, especially on pontoons, to minimize fire hazards
All spillages will be cleaned up as soon as practicable, spill kits will be available onsite and
include booms that can be deployed on water.
Contractor to ensure to create a safe and healthy work environment for all its employees. Workplace
present special hazards to the individuals those working there, necessitating the application of engineering
controls, administrative controls, and the use of personal protective equipment to protect against
workplace hazards. The use of personal protective equipment is an integral part of minimizing hazards but
should only be considered after all other controls have been exercised. The Subcontractor shall provide
personal protective equipment (PPE) for Subcontractor’s personnel such as safety belt, eye protection,
respiratory equipment, and hard hats. Subcontractor shall train their employees to wear appropriate
personal protection equipment that is maintained in good condition. Subcontractor's employees shall not
commence work until proper protective equipment is always worn while on-site. All employee staff and
visitors shall always wear the appropriate specific PPE when they are on the work SITE.
The purpose of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program is to protect employees from risk of injury
or death by creating a barrier against workplace hazards. The PPE program addresses eye, face, and head,
foot, and hand protection. Components of our company’s Respiratory Protection Program and the Hearing
Conservation program are also a part of this program.
1..3 Responsibilities
The Safety and Health Manager will be responsible for assessing the hazards and exposures that may
require the use of PPE, determining the type of equipment to be provided, and purchasing the equipment.
Input from managers, supervisors, and employees will be obtained and considered in selecting appropriate
equipment. Managers/supervisors will be responsible for training employees in the use and proper care of
PPE, ensuring that all employees are assigned appropriate PPE, and ensuring that PPE is worn by employees
when and where it is required.
The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) forms the final line of defense between employee and
hazard and applies to all employees at the work site, including the Contractor, visitors and client or
customer representatives.
Contractors follows a Four-Point PPE Practice: Hard hat, steel toe boots, high visibility jacket and safety
glasses. If any materials are to be handled, then gloves shall be worn as well
Specific PPE shall also be specified in Method Statements and Risk Assessments such as glove type (i.e.
material, level of protection, etc.). Where possible, hazards will be eliminated or controlled to reduce the
risk associated with a specific task.
These controls include:
Elimination of the hazard
Isolation of the hazard
Administrative Controls
Contractors will make available all required PPE for its employees. All employees will receive training in
the use, care, maintenance and storage of the PPE issued to them.
All personal protective equipment will be within the requirements of the local HSE legislation, industry best
practices and standards. Where site-specific PPE requirements exist all the employees, Contractors, visitors
and Stakeholders on the Project, will follow those requirements.
No piece of PPE will be modified or changed contrary to the manufacturer’s instructions or specifications
or HSE legislation.
All PPE that is of questionable reliability, damaged or in need of service or repair will be removed from
service immediately.
Defective PPEs to be removed from site to prevent it from being in circulation
Eyesight
Color vision
Fit
Contractor will submit a Separate Night work Plan with Method of Statement and Risk Assessment. If there
are...
Environmental conditions (e.g., Air temperature, radiant heat, humidity, air flow).
Physical work (e.g., Strenuous or light).
Work organization (e.g., the duration, exposure to heat, time of day); and Clothing (e.g.,
heavy protective clothing).
1.1. Acclimatization Process for New comers inside Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
According to the available literature, workers in hot climate countries, similar to the study cohort, can
heat acclimatize faster than those in other Western countries.
New employees are at the highest risk for heat illness. Acclimatization is crucial to working in hot
conditions
what do you need to carry around with you at all times to ensure your comfort, like water, , an
umbrella, gloves… Whether you can continue with your exercise routine outdoors or if it is simply too
hot to bear. How long can you stay out in the sun without feeling terrible or when are the best times
to go outside.
Allow workers to acclimatise to their environment and identify which workers are acclimatised/assessed
as fit to work in hot conditions.
Managers should have a formal acclimatization plan for employees working in the heat. Starting new
employees at full intensity is not safe.
Adjustments to the acclimatization Contractors schedule may be needed depending on the worksite’s
situation and on individual factors.
A combination of these conditions can cause heat stress or heat stroke and the effects can range from
simple comfort to life-threatening illnesses. Heat stress reduces work capacity and efficiency.
Control measures for preventing heat stress will include:
The Contractor HSE Manager shall ensure that there are always adequate stocks of the safety
apparel on site to accommodate visitors to site.
The PPE’s will be inspected to ensure that it comply with Approved International standards
e.g., ANSI or EU.
During construction activity it is not anticipated that any person will be exposed to noise levels
that are in excess of 85 dB (A) on an 8- or 10-hour time weighted average (TWA)
An important factor in preventing HAVS is by reducing the time which employees are actually
exposed to vibration. The daily exposure limit value for whole body vibration is 1.15m/s2 and the
daily exposure action value for whole body vibration is 0.5m/s2. The daily exposure limit value for
hand-arm vibration is 5m/s2 with the daily exposure action value for hand-arm vibration is
2.5m/s2
Contractor Supervisors are to ensure a vibrating tool is shared between a team of employees, as
opposed to it only being used by one person all day; by rotating such personnel to other areas of
work will considerably lessen the effects of vibration on the actual user, lessening the chances of
ill-health effects by the use of the vibrating tool.
Typical sound levels of construction equipment are as follows; however, information must be
sought from the Manufacturer or Construction Plant Hire Company regarding specific machines:
Acute short-term exposures to impact noise exceeding the threshold may be experienced during
some activities, which shall be managed by the Contractor by reducing employee exposure, and
enforce the wearing of personal protective equipment when working in proximity of the
operations as per Roshn procedure RRE-HC-HC1-A00-NSP-RRE-HSE-PRO-00024 Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) Standard.
It is anticipated that some static equipment situated on lay-down areas may produce a noise level
in excess of 85 dB (A). Supervisor must therefore locate any potential noise sources a minimum
distance of 30m away from offices and other facilities normally occupied. For all maintenance staff
of these equipment, permanent and suitable hearing protection must be provided.
When areas have been identified that meet the above criteria in above paragraph Contractor must
conduct a noise level survey and risk assessment by a competent person for that area using a
calibrated noise/sound level meter; records to be kept and made available to Employer or its
Representative on request
44. MEPI
To minimize the risk of injury to pedestrians within the site, designated pedestrian footpaths with adequate
lighting will be provided by DAR ENGINEERING. These designated pedestrian footpaths will be identified by
either hard barriers or plastic mesh fencing and appropriate signage will be provided. Pedestrian routes are
to be kept clear of any potential tripping hazard. Where designated pedestrian routes need to cross site
haul roads, a designated pedestrian crossing with appropriate signage will be provided.
The principal pedestrian routes on site will be indicated on a drawing showing haul roads and pedestrian
routes within the TMP. These routes will be subject to change to suit the progress of works on site. Where
significant changes are made, the haul road/pedestrian routes drawing will be updated and reissued.
45. Scaffolding.
A temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance,
and repair of structures
For all external working at height where the risk assessment shows that Scaffolding is to be constructed;
only "Open Tube & Clamp" or "System" Scaffold is acceptable.
For Contractors, all planning for Scaffolding shall include risk assessments and safe sequence of work
which are to be included in the Construction Phase OH&S Plan.
All Scaffolds over 10m long, over 8m in height, hung, cantilever or suspended Scaffolds must be designed
by a qualified, professional structural engineer. All calculations and the design drawing(s) must be
included in an Appendix of the Construction Phase OH&S Plan, that can be extracted and used as a
Scaffolding Plan. Once erected, designed Scaffolds must be approved and signed off by the structural
engineer as being built to the design.
Protection of persons against falling materials should be provided by the use of nets, brick guards, toe-
boards, fans and by the use of barricades at ground level where practicable. All fans must be designed by
a qualified, professional structural engineer. All calculations and the design drawing must be included in
the Construction Phase OH&S Plan.
Special attention must be given to loading and unloading of materials and the removal of waste debris
from the Scaffold. All loading bays intended to be incorporated into large Scaffold structures must be
designed by a structural engineer, and the design and calculations made available to Employer or its
Representative for approval prior to erection. Waste chutes are considered best practice for large waste
removal at height.
The distance apart of transoms must not result in a bay length of greater than
General purpose Scaffold (2.0Kn/m2) – general construction work, rendering, plastering 2.1m
Heavy duty Scaffold (2.5Kn/m2) – block work, brickwork, heavy cladding 2.0m
All working platforms must comply with ROSHN HSSE Procedure : RRE-HC-HC1-A00-NSP-RRE-HSE-
PRO-00031 Working Platforms Standard
All Scaffolds must be prevented from collapsing or tipping by secure attachment to the bearing surface or
to another structure by the means of the following methods:
Reveal tie
A tube may be wedged or jacked tight into opposing faces of an opening. The reveal tie should be
attached to the reveal tube within 150mm of the end of the opening face.
Through tie
This type of tie relies on a tube, usually placed vertically inside an opening. The tube should preferably
rest as close to one edge of the opening as possible.
Box tie
This forms an assembly of tubes and couplers around columns or other parts of a structure. It must be at
the level of a Scaffold lift and joined to both inside and outside ledgers or uprights.
All mobile towers should be properly constructed as per Manufacturer's instructions by competent
persons.
The mobile tower structure must be of sufficient strength and rigidity for the works. It must be secured in
position, castor wheels locked before anyone accesses the tower, and if the working platform is over 3m
in height, the tower must have outriggers added.
Placing steps, ladders or other platforms on the working platform to gain additional height is dangerous
and therefore prohibited.
Under no circumstances must any attempt be made to climb up the outside frames of a mobile tower,
and all access must be made by use of a ladder (on the internal of the structure) or purpose-built frame.
No ladder of any description must be leaned against the outside of a mobile tower. To do so would cause
the tower to become unstable and add to the risk of overturning the tower.
No attempt should be made to move tall, fully-erected towers. The tower must be reduced to a safe
height appropriate to the ground conditions. Normally as guidance, the height should not exceed 2 1/2
times the minimum base dimension. Move the tower manually from the base only; not by vehicle or
construction plant. No persons or materials must be on the tower during movement.
Fixed or mobile Scaffolding with work platforms that are 4 meters or greater in height shall be:
Inspected daily.
Erected under the supervision a competent and experienced Scaffolder who holds a current
certificate of competency.
Certified by the Scaffold inspector or a competent person as being safe to use and in compliance
with relevant statutory requirements and standards.
Isolated by danger tags or warning signs if the Scaffold is incomplete or left unattended.
All Scaffolds constructed on Hofuf site shall:
Red Tag
The red tag is attached to inappropriate Scaffolds, which are not allowed for working activities and which
are going through assemblage or disassembling process.
Yellow Tag
It is attached to the places where use to full body harnesses is mandatory.
Green Tag
Is attached to appropriate Scaffolds which are allowed for working activities without Safety harness.
46. Ladders
Ladders shall only be used when other means of safe access are impractical. Usage of ladders shall be
limited to temporary access for short duration tasks when other safer means are not practicable. Ladders
shall be used with the following precautions:
Ladders to be placed on a level and solid footing and secured at the top and if practical at the
bottom.
Ladders to be set up at an angle of 4:1 (Vertical: Horizontal)
Timber or fiberglass ladders to be used for work adjacent to live electrical conductors or power
lines.
All ladders are to be of an industrial grade.
Three points of contact to be always maintained.
If the worker is required to use both hands to safely perform the work, then other methods of
safe access to be given priority.
Wrist lanyards to be used for any small hand tools whilst on a ladder.
If the worker is required to carry heavy / large tools or materials up or down the ladder, then
other methods of safe access to be given priority.
Ladder will be inspected, and color coded on a quarterly basis.
Control of Plant
Smoking is prohibited in all site offices, lunchrooms, toilet/wash facilities, and enclosed work areas.
Smoking will also be prohibited in work areas identified and sign posted as hazardous areas, e.g.,
Chemical / flammable liquid storage areas, bush fire risks. However, designated smoking areas will
be provided for smokers.
There shall be a minimum of 5m between all temporary buildings and structures.
All offices shall be fitted with smoke detectors and there shall be a “no smoking” policy
in all offices.
Materials shall not be stored in a manner so as to obstruct access to fire prevention/protection
equipment (detectors/alarms/panels), fire-fighting equipment, control valves, doors, motors,
aisles or hallways that serve as a means of gape.
Only plugs compatible with the electrical receptacles (sockets) are permitted
Cylinders are to be stored in a well-ventilated and shaded location, 25m away from all other
flammable stores.
LPG cylinders are to be kept in a separate storage area either 6.1m (20’) away from all other gas
cylinders, or a physical barrier a minimum of 5’ high must separate the two.
All cylinders must be protected against shock, especially falling, and high temperature extremes.
All cylinders (unless manufacturer instructions state otherwise – e.g. special gases) must be stored
and secured by means of a substantial chain or cable in the upright position, and fitted with valve
protection caps.
All cylinder storage areas shall be properly signed, and a “no smoking” policy within 25m
enforced.

Dust can be generated from natural sources (wind through a site or over an uncovered stockpile)
and also through anthropogenic sources (vehicle movements over unconsolidated ground).
Contractors are therefore to instigate the following mitigation measures to reduce air quality
impacts:
▪ Paved areas and roads used for, and adjacent to, construction traffic will be
maintained free of tracked soil or fill materials. At minimum, paved traffic areas,
driveways, sidewalks, and roads will be cleaned on a daily basis by wet spraying
and/or washing. More frequent spraying will be provided where necessary.
Adjacent paved areas and roads will be left clean at the end of each day;
▪ Stockpiled material shall be placed in sheltered/covered areas;
▪ Vehicle speeds shall be regulated on all un-surfaced roads to 25kph; Vehicles shall
▪ be restricted to defined access routes to minimize dust;
▪ Temporary access and haul roads shall be dampened down with water to
minimize dust from construction plant and vehicles on a frequent basis;
▪ Temporary access and haul roads shall be regularly inspected for integrity and
repair;
▪ Site exits are to incorporate wheel washes to minimize mud & dust being
transported onto public roads;
▪ Haulage trucks transporting bulk materials to, from and within the site shall be
covered with a suitable tarpaulin sheet;
▪ Road sweeping equipment shall be used to clean up public road adjacent to site
that has been affected by mud & dust from the works;
▪ Drop height of excavated materials onto the ground or into vehicles shall be
controlled to a minimum limit;
▪ Temporary cover and daily maintenance will be provided for soil or fill stockpiles
and keep active surfaces moist;
▪ Exposed excavations, disturbed ground surfaces, and unpaved traffic areas will
be maintained in a moist condition;
▪ Land clearing will be kept to a minimum so as to keep vegetation cover that will
stabilize the ground.
Smoke generated by bonfires (often when burning waste) is strictly prohibited on
construction sites.
53. Conservation:
C onservat io n planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction or
neglect
collection of environmental media (air, water, soil) for analysis of the quality of the environment, or may
include real-time monitoring using devices that detect exposures to hazardous agents
The Contractor shall take immediate remedial action if the threshold levels as given in Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia environmental legislation, codes and standards are exceeded. All such incidents and
the remedial action taken shall be documented.
Includes vibration of any frequency, whether transmitted through air or any other physical medium
Construction, building and demolition related noise can impact the health and wellbeing of people
and animals (considered to be sensitive receivers) when not managed appropriately. Vibration may
also interfere with DAR scientific equipment or damage buildings and underground services. Both
noise and vibration are considered as a nuisance by general public and protests about noise and
vibration are some of the most common complaints that environmental protection agencies and
municipalities receive. Environmental noise and vibration are now recognized as a public health
issue with possible serious or long-term health impacts.
Contractor can identify and adopt actions to minimize noise and vibration risks through:
Planning;
Site layout;
Management, selection and maintenance of equipment;
Noise reduction;
Conduct of workers onsite.
Contractor shall conduct a noise and vibration impact assessment to predict the characteristics of
noise and vibration generated by the planned works which should identify people and sensitive
environments that could be affected by the Works.
The results of the impact assessment should be used by the Contractor to:
Groundwater: a body of water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and in the
fractures of geologic formations.
Fresh Surface Water: all fresh waters on the ground and includes water within rivers, streams, lakes,
ponds, wetlands, marshes, wadis and man-made reservoirs.
Plant and vehicle maintenance areas will be located in designated impermeable areas with a fall
to a central gully. Water and oil will be collected and separated in an adjacent oil trap. The
location of these designated areas and oil traps will be presented in the Site layout drawing.
All stationary construction plant & equipment are to have either a secondary containment system
(e.g. bunds around semi-permanent generators), or metal drip trays placed beneath them during
If equipment’s have extensive dripping, the equipment shall be sent for immediate repair and
maintenance.
All vehicle servicing records and vehicle certificates will be held on site and made available to
Employer or its Representative on request.
The fuel, oil and chemical stores shall have secondary containment, and be stored on
impermeable bases within a bund to contain at least 110 % of the maximum capacity of the
storage facility (or 25% of total storage capacity where more than one container is stored), in
accordance to Kingdom of Saudi Arabian environmental legislation, codes and standards. Bunds
shall be emptied immediately after all rain events. All tank discharge pipes, valves and trigger
guns will be contained securely within the bund. The contents of any tank will be clearly marked
on the tank, and a notice displayed requiring that the valves and trigger guns be locked when not
in use.
Incompatible materials shall be separated (e.g. flammables and oxidizers) and shall be kept in
different containment areas. Used and waste fuel, oil and chemicals shall be clearly identified and
segregated within the containment area.
Adequate spill response kits, medical and fire fighting equipment shall be situated
throughout the area.
Designated areas will be established for vehicle and wheel washing. The wheel wash facility will
have an impermeable surface. Vehicle-washing effluent on the construction sites will be routed
to a suitable storage facility such that the effluent can be sent for treatment or evaporation if
necessary. Highways and roads around the construction sites will be monitored and roads to be
regularly cleared to prevent to build up of excess materials.
Contractor shall undertake regular inspections of all sewage, wastewater tanks, refueling,
vehicle/equipment servicing, engineering workshops and chemical storage areas to ensure that
serviceability and containment is adequate.
All staff handling hazardous materials shall be trained in spill response, containment, material
handling and storage procedures. Personnel designated for the emergency response team shall
be trained in the response procedures in the event of a spill, including the use of the spill clean-
up kit, and removal of the hazardous waste.
Plastic sheeting shall be placed beneath mobile and static concrete mixers and concrete pump
trucks before start-up and during transfer of concrete to delivery location or other receptacles.
Waste: material, substance or by-product eliminated or discarded as no longer useful or required after
the completion of a process
Contractors shall introduce practices that minimize waste generation at source, by reducing
waste and introducing segregation of waste following the principles of waste management
hierarchy:
Reduce;
Reuse;
Recycle;
Recover;
Treatment;
Disposal.
During the Works, Contractor is to segregate waste into the following categories:
Municipal Waste;
Hazardous Waste;
Medical Waste;
Electrical and Electronic E-Waste.
Waste containers shall not be allowed to overflow, and regular collection shall be maintained.
Containers shall be regularly inspected to ensure containers are kept closed during accumulation,
and shall be tightly sealed prior to transportation off-site. There shall be a sufficient number and
size of waste containers proportionate to the Works to contain amount of waste generated.
All food waste shall be properly stored in containers with close-sealing lids to minimize pest
infestation and odor control.
Containers used for lightweight materials such as cardboard shall have tarpaulins or netting in
order to stop the waste being blown around site during inclement weather.
Waste oils, lubricants, paints etc. shall be stored in tightly closed, leak-proof containers
compatible to the hazardous waste to be stored. Containers will be clearly labelled to accurately
describe their contents and appropriate warning labels to be attached. Wherever possible,
chemicals shall be kept in their original containers.
Hazardous waste will not be placed in containers provided for non-hazardous waste.
Such errors may lead to hazardous waste being handled as non-hazardous, putting the handlers
at risk, or may lead to the waste being improperly disposed.
The area used for reuse and recyclable green waste should ideally be on an impervious concrete
base.
Any drums or containers that held a hazardous substance will be considered hazardous regardless
of the quantity of substance remaining in the drum or container. Any container or cylinder
awaiting disposal or being discarded that contains a hazardous compressed gas with a pressure
All waste will be collected and segregate and disposal as per ROSHN standard RRE-HC-HC1-A00-NSP-RRE-
HSE-PRO-00037 Waste Management.
Saudi Arabia has published a new Waste Management Law on September 15th 2021. This law aims to
regulate the transport, segregation, storage, import, export, safe disposal of waste and all other activities
related to it. This law replaces Municipal Solid Waste Management Law enacted by the Royal Decree no.
M/48 of 2013. All concerned parties must recycle, retrieve resources, and ensure safe disposal in order to
achieve better environmental and economical results.
According to article 11 of this law waste producers must conserve natural resources and materials, reuse
products, reduce waste, store it in the designated areas, and separate it for the purpose of reuse or recycle.
Article 14 holds the manufacturers/importers an extended responsibility for their products to ensure
financial sustainability in the waste management sector and therefore enforce the concept of circular
economy. The rules and procedures concerned will be determined in the executive regulation for this law.
Article 16 to 18 prescribe the different responsibilities of waste related service providers. For example,
disposal service providers must adhere to the disposal methods set by the national waste management
center (NWMC). As for hazardous waste transporters, they must use means of transportation that conform
with NWMC standards, place warning labels and ensure the existence of documentation about the
transported hazardous waste.
This law also regulates the import and export of waste as well as dealing with emergency situations. Article
19 prohibits the import of hazardous waste without a permit. It also prohibits the import of recycled waste
in addition to recycled used products, devices and equipment.
This law will take affect November 14th 2021.
