5 LEADERSHIP

5.1 Leadership and Commitment

5.1.1 Leadership and Commitment for the IMS


The Company’s top management is committed to the development, implementation and
continual improvement of the IMS. This commitment is reflected in the IMS Policies and
IMS objectives.

The importance of meeting or exceeding client expectations, preventing ill health and
injuries of all individuals under its control, preventing pollution and complying with all
relevant legal and other requirements is communicated within the Company at all levels
and all those with management responsibility are encouraged to lead by example and
ensure that all employees take responsibility for all IMS aspects under their control.

The top management ensures the availability of required organisational structure and
necessary resources in terms of material, personnel and information for effective
implementation of the IMS.

5.1.2 Client Focus


The Company’s top management ensures that client satisfaction is enhanced through the
implementation and continual improvement of the IMS.

5.2 IMS Policies


The IMS Policies are the top management’s statements of commitment and a clear
reminder of focus and direction for all Company employees. They provide a framework
for establishing and reviewing quality, health, safety and environmental objectives and
for the continual improvement of the IMS.

The IMS Policies are communicated to all persons working for or on behalf of the
Company or any other interested party through official management presentation to the
entire staff, site specific inductions. They are displayed in the reception area of the Head
Office and all project sites and included in this document in Annex I – IMS Policies.

The IMS Policies are approved by the BOD and reviewed annually in the management
review meetings for appropriateness to the Company’s vision and business objectives, as
well as to the nature and scale of risks and to environmental impacts of its activities.

5.3 Organizational Roles, Responsibility, Accountability and Authority

5.3.1 Organization
The management is responsible to ensure that the roles of all company personnel are
well defined and communicated. This is achieved by establishing the Corporate
Organization Chart which describes the lines of communication in corporate level and the
specific Project Organization Charts which are developed separately to describe the
general lines of communication in project sites.

The Corporate Organization Chart is approved by the BOD, reviewed annually and
revised, when deemed necessary, for effective operation. Project organization charts are
prepared by Project Managers considering the individual requirements of each project.
All HOD’s are encouraged to develop and maintain updated organization charts for their
departments.

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 18 of 53

The current organisation satisfies to a great extent the operational and communication
needs of the Company as its structure facilitates internal communication, immediate
decision and effective control of the IMS implementation while it also provides the
necessary flexibility, minimising bureaucracy and avoiding overlaps.

5.3.2 Accountability and Authority


The top management defines precise levels of authority for a wide spectrum of activities
performed in corporate level and for activities performed on project sites. The
operational work instructions OI.01.01 “Levels of Authority” and OI.08.01 “Purchasing
and Hiring Authority Matrix” describe the limits that a certain position within the
Company may operate both in corporate and site level. Levels of authority are reviewed
annually and revised as necessary.

5.3.3 Duties and Responsibilities


The top management ensures that Company personnel in all levels have specific duties
and responsibilities. In order to achieve this a set of detailed job description that are
reviewed periodically and revised as necessary has been developed.

5.3.4 Consultation and Participation of Workers


Participation and consultation is an essential part of the IMS, especially with regard to
managing health & safety risks. Objectives may be achieved only when everyone
involved in the work communicates with each other to identify potential non-
conformances, hazards and risks, talks about any health & safety concerns and works
together to find solutions. This includes cooperation between the people who manage or
control the work and those who carry out the work or who are affected by it. Site specific
health & safety consultation is conducted with the use of:

H&S Representatives (HSR’s)


Health & safety committees
Generally HSR’s are selected amongst workers to ensure that workers are consulted
when there are changes affecting health & safety and that they participate actively in:

Hazard identification, risk assessments and determination of controls


Incident investigations
Developing and reviewing policies and objectives relevant to health & safety
Health & safety committees hold meetings on a regular basis with the attendance of
HSR’s selected from different sites. They put forward the views of the workers they
represent to the committee. Minutes taken at these meetings are then distributed to the
sites and discussed with the workers during tool box talks.

Issues concerning the work force are brought to the attention of the top management
during the management review meetings. Feedback received from workers is discussed
and any actions to be taken are recorded in the minutes of the meetings and forwarded
to the HSR’s for relaying back to the workforce.

Consultation may not occur in cases where immediate action needs to be taken as there
is an issue that is causing or has the potential to cause imminent risk. In such cases any
actions taken are relayed to the human capital at the next opportunity. Details are
included in the procedure OP.11.04 “Communication, Participation and Consultation”.

6 PLANNING

6.1 Actions to Address Risks and Opportunities

6.1.1 General
Upon planning of the IMS AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. considers:

The internal and external context of the Company


The needs and expectations of interested parties
Legal and other requirements
Having full understanding of the above, all associated risks and opportunities that need
to be addressed are identified and assessed and respective controls are determined in
order to:

Ensure that the IMS can achieve its intended outcomes


Enhance desirable effects
Prevent or reduce undesired effects
Maintain and improve the Company’s ability to consistently provide products and
services that meet or exceed expectations in terms of quality, health & safety and
the environment
Respective controls of risks and opportunities are determined based on their potential
impact on the conformity of the Company’s products and services and their effectiveness
is evaluated periodically.

Risks and opportunities are classified in three major categories:

Commercial
Health and Safety
Environmental
Although the approach is the same in all three cases (identification – assessment –
determining controls) the above risks are considered separately.

6.1.2 Commercial Risks Identification and Assessment

6.1.2.1 Commercial Risks and Opportunities Identification


Commercial risks and opportunities are identified both in corporate and project site
levels. In the corporate level commercial risks and opportunities are included in the
annual corporate Business Plan. Site level risks and opportunities identification is
described in detail in the operational procedure OP.13.03 “Risk Management”.

6.1.2.2 Assessment of Commercial Risks and Opportunities


All identified commercial risks and opportunities are assessed to determine any possible
outcomes and classified according to their probability and impact to the Company’s
operations. The assessment system in place leads to the identification of all major risks
and opportunities of the Company in the market. Documented commercial risk and
opportunity registers include planned control measures.

Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 20 of 53

6.1.2.3 Cost Estimate of Commercial Risks and Opportunities


A potential revenue or expense is assigned for all major commercial risks and
opportunities. Where feasible this includes analytical calculations. When this is not
possible the respective figures are estimated by assigned personnel.

6.1.3 Hazard Identification and H&S Risk Assessment


A documented procedure OP.11.07 “Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control”
has been developed that takes into account the following:

Routine and non-routine activities performed in the Head Office and project sites
Activities of all persons under the Company’s control, including suppliers and
subcontractors and all others having access to its workplaces such as visitors
Human factors such as behavior and capabilities
Hazards created within the workplaces by work related activities
Hazards originating outside the workplaces adversely affecting the health & safety
of persons under the control of the Company
Hazards originating by infrastructure, equipment and materials at the workplaces,
whether provided by the Company or by others
Any temporary or permanent changes, proposed changes or modifications to the
scope of work, methods, procedures or any other element of the IMS and their
impact on operations, processes and activities
Any applicable legal obligations with regards to risk assessment and operational
control
The work organization and design of processes, procedures, etc. including their
adaptation to human capabilities

6.1.3.1 Hazard Identification


The first step in assessing the risk associated with occupational health & safety is the
identification of all hazards specific to the Head Office and to each project site prior to
commencement of any work. The hazard identification is initially undertaken by the
project HSE Managers or other nominated persons using site drawings, client meeting
minutes, site walks at project locations and review of any reports commissioned by the
clients during the projects design phase. Subsequently a list of hazards, both present
and expected is prepared.

During the construction phase workers are also included in the hazard identification
process by providing their perspective and suggestions during audits, inspections and
risk assessments.

All hazards and risks are registered in the “Master Hazard - Risk Assessment Register”
that encompasses all work activities associated to the Company and possible impacts on
its employees, suppliers, subcontractors, visitors and any other who may be affected by
its activities. This register is compiled using known and identified risks included in risk
assessments conducted in the past for specific repeated operations, by records made of
past incidents, by published reports and guides.

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 21 of 53

Project hazard / risk registers are also compiled for each project the Company
undertakes using the information on the master register along with other information
specific to the project. These registers list the nature of the hazard, major risks, planned
control measures and whether there is a legislative control that must be applied.

6.1.3.2 Assessment of H&S Risks


Documented risk assessments are generally undertaken by management and
supervisory staff however workers are also being consulted through their Health &
Safety Representatives. Any personnel required to undertake risk assessments receive
training which includes:

Identification of hazards
Assessment of risks
Application of suitable controls in accordance with the established hierarchy of
controls and complaint with legislation and other requirements set by codes of
practice and industry guides
Systems for monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of the applied controls

Documented H&S risk assessments include planned control measures.

6.1.4 Determination of Legal and Other Requirements


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. implements a documented procedure OP.11.06 “Legal and Other
Requirements” to identify and assess all legal and other requirements applicable to its
activities in Qatar, to ensure that those requirements are communicated to all persons
under its control and other relevant interested parties and to evaluate compliance.

Managers review all local legislation, including health, safety and environmental
legislation using the available on line services (i.e. AL – MEEZAN – provided by the Qatar
Ministry of Justice and NATLEX – established by the International Labour Organization)
as well as seeking consultation from the Company’s Legal department.

The Company has identified and complies with all relevant legal requirements that are
applicable to its activities. A list of applicable laws and regulations “Legal and Other
Requirements Register” is maintained by the QHSE Manager.

All HOD’s are responsible to ensure that changes to legal requirements applicable to the
functions of their Departments such as new laws or revisions of existing laws are
monitored and inform the QHSE Manager who is responsible to keep the register
updated.

Other requirements identification is described in section 8.2.2 of this manual.

6.1.5 Environmental Aspects

6.1.5.1 General
An environmental aspect is something that has the potential to cause impact on the
environment and an impact is the effect that the aspect may have on the environment. A
documented procedure OP.11.08 “Environmental Aspect Identification Risk Assessment
and Control” has been developed to:

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 22 of 53

Identify the environmental aspects of the Company’s construction activities,


products and services, including indirect aspects that may be influenced, such as
those arising from its suppliers / subcontractors
Determine those aspects that have or may have significant impact on the
environment
Provide documentation requirements

6.1.5.2 Environmental Aspect Identification


Aspect identification takes into account any abnormal conditions and reasonably
foreseeable emergency situations as well as changes (planned or new developments)
and consists of two stages:

Head Office and project information review and identification / classification of


activities required for the operation of the Company
Categorization of activities where possible in a manner that it makes it easier to
fully understand the environmental impacts of each activity. It is usual that single
activities have multiple aspects

All aspects and risks are registered in the “Environmental Risk Assessment Register” that
includes all work activities associated to the Company and possible impacts on the
environment. The whole process of the master register and project registers is similar to
the one described in section 6.1.3.1 above.

6.1.5.3 Impact Assessment and Risk Evaluation


The impacts associated with each aspect are identified and documented. Impact
identification considers both positive and negative environmental impacts associated
with the aspect. The impact identification is undertaken with the following steps:

Aspects are reviewed against specific environmental categories (air quality, noise
and vibration, waste management, etc.)
The significance of each environmental impact is assessed on the basis of
likelihood / probability of occurrence, consequence and associated risk

6.2 IMS Objectives and Planning to Achieve Them

6.2.1 IMS Objectives and Targets


A documented procedure OP.11.03 “Objectives and Targets” has been developed to
establish, implement, maintain and review quality, health, safety and environmental
objectives and targets. The objectives are consistent with the IMS Policy and SMART:

S - Specific, significant
M - Measurable, meaningful
A - Achievable, acceptable
R - Realistic, reasonable
T - Time-based, tangible

Communication, review and attainment of these objectives and targets is a major part of
the Company’s commitment to continual improvement.

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 23 of 53

The Company has established and maintains quality, health, safety and environmental
programmes in order to define the actions required for achieving its objectives, to assign
responsibilities at all levels and to set the time frame for the objectives to be achieved.

6.2.2 Planning to Achieve IMS Objectives


The planning of the IMS considers:

Necessary actions to be taken in order to achieve the Company’s objectives


Required resources for these actions
Responsibilities and accountabilities of staff
Specific timelines for required actions
Methods of evaluating the actions taken

6.3 Planning of Changes

that the integrity of the system is maintained when changes to the IMS are planned and
implemented and that the Company:

Meets its quality, health & safety and environmental objectives


Complies consistently with all legal and other requirements

Upon significant changes the Company examines their purpose and potential
consequences and reassesses the availability of resources and the appropriateness of
allocated responsibilities and authorities.

8 OPERATION

8.1 Operational Planning and Control

8.1.1 General
AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. plans, implements and controls the processes required for realizing
products and services. For the Company the term “product” includes several types of
projects depending on the type of contract:

Design and build projects, AKTOR being the Main Contractor, the Main Contractor
in an joint venture or a subcontractor
Construction projects for building and engineering works designed by the
Employer, AKTOR being the Main Contractor, the Main Contractor in an joint
venture or a subcontractor
Facility Management projects, AKTOR being the sole service provider or in a joint
venture

In each case there is a need for developing tailor made, project specific documents
(plans, schedules, procedures, risk assessments etc.) for planning, organizing, realizing,
controlling, verifying, validating and/or modifying activities carried out on sites.

In planning of project realization AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. determines for each project
specific:

Quality, occupational health & safety and environmental objectives


Quality benchmarks, hazards and environmental aspects
Resources required
Monitoring, measurement, inspection & testing, verification and validation
activities and procedures including risk assessments
Records required to demonstrate compliance to project specifications, legal and
other requirements

8.1.2 Controls to Reduce Commercial Risks


Appropriate actions to reduce commercial risks and pursue or extend all identified
opportunities are determined, and reviewed, as applicable, for their effectiveness.

The Company assigns a risk response plan for all major commercial risks. This may
include a risk response strategy, a risk contingency plan or both. One of the following
approaches may be selected:

Avoid
Mitigate
Accept
Contain
Transfer
A detailed description of the above approached is included in the procedure OP.13.03
“Risk Management”.

Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 33 of 53

8.1.3 Controls to Reduce H&S Risks


The ways that the Company controls H&S risks are ranked from the highest level of
protection and reliability to the lowest as shown below.

This ranking is known as the hierarchy of risk control. When Company staff is managing
risk it is a requirement to work through this hierarchy and always aim first to eliminate a
hazard, which is the most effective control. If this is not reasonably practicable, the risk
is minimised by working through the other alternatives in the hierarchy.

Level 1 control measures

The most effective control measure involves eliminating the hazard and associated risks.
This is achieved by several ways such as avoiding introducing the hazard into the
workplace in the first place or in the case that the hazard may not be eliminated by
eliminating as many of the risks associated with the hazard as possible.

Level 2 control measures

In cases that it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate the hazards and associated
risks, the risks are minimised using one or more of the following approaches:

By substituting the hazard with something safer


By isolating the hazard from people which involves physically separating the
source of harm from people by distance or with barriers
By using engineering controls which are physical in nature, usually mechanical
devices or processes

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 34 of 53

Level 3 control measures

These control measures do not control the hazard at the source. They rely on human
behaviour and supervision, and used on their own, tend to be least effective in
minimising risks. Two approaches to reduce risk in this way are:

With the use of administrative controls, work methods or procedures that are
designed to minimize exposure to a hazard.
With the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

Administrative controls and PPE are used only as an interim measure until a more
effective way of controlling the risk can be used, to supplement higher level control
measures (as a back-up) and when there are no other practical control measures
available (as a last resort).

8.1.4 Controls to Reduce Environmental Risks


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. determines and plans operations associated with the identified
significant environmental aspects and ensures that they are carried out under specified
conditions. Operational control is described in detail in the procedure OP.11.08
“Environmental Aspect Identification Risk Assessment and Control”.

8.2 Requirements for Products and Services

8.2.1 Client Communication


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. ensures regular communication with clients so that the Company is
immediately informed of the client’s satisfaction as to the progress and the quality of the
project, client enquiries, amendments and how such amendments are to be handled as
well as any other data relevant to the project progress.

Apart from the top management, only Project Managers / Directors, who are the
authorized Company Representatives, are eligible to communicate in writing with clients.
Documented records are maintained regarding client feedback including client
complaints.

Serious issues that arise from communication with the clients are used as main input
during the IMS management reviews.

8.2.2 Determination of Requirements Related to Products and Services


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. determines the requirements related to the project and confirms
the Company’s capability to fulfil those requirements before entering into a contract. For
each project the following are identified:

Requirements specified by the client (quality, health & safety, environmental,


financial, plant & equipment, etc.)
Requirements not specified by the client but necessary for the specified or
intended use of the project
Applicable statutory and regulatory requirements
Any other additional requirements based on experience from similar projects

Revision: 03 Page: 35 of 53

8.2.3 Review of Requirements Related to Products and Services


Management reviews other requirements derived from clients and other interested
parties such as public authorities, communities, consultants etc.

Review of the requirements related to the project starts from the tendering stage.
Tender requirements are not identical; however it is most usual that at this stage the
following documents are developed:

Contract Risk Assessment


Project Construction Method Statement
Project Tender Budget
Project Tender Schedule
Preliminary Project Quality Plan
Preliminary Health & Safety Plan
Preliminary Environmental Plan
Preliminary Sustainability Plan (if required)

A documented procedure OP.03.01 “Preparation & Submission of Bids” has been


developed to define the tender process and deliverables.

Upon contract award client and statutory requirements including safety and
environmental risks and the resources required for safe and timely execution of the
project are reviewed by the Project Manager and the project team. Records required
demonstrating compliance to project specifications, legal and other requirements are
also reviewed and supplemented if required. All main activities and methods to be
followed are planned and scheduled and preliminary plans and schedules developed at
the tendering stage are reviewed and finalized.

During the execution of the works the contract is reviewed by the Commercial
department, in order to ensure that:

Client requirements are clearly understood, adequately defined and documented


Any requirements differing from those in the tender are resolved
The Company and its subcontractors / suppliers have the ability to meet the
contractual and other requirements

The results of contract reviews and all relevant correspondence with the Client, the
Engineer and subcontractors / suppliers are filed accordingly, along with the minutes of
all official meetings.

8.2.4 Changes to the Requirements for Products and Services


During the execution of a contract one or more of the following changes to the
requirements related to the Company’s products and services (variations) may occur:

Variations initiated by the Client


Variations for the convenience of the Company
Value engineering
Provisional sums
Adjustments for changes in cost

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 36 of 53

Change management is a critical issue for the Company’s ability to deliver high quality
products and services. Variations are identified and processed according to the
respective commercial operational procedures.

8.3 Design and Development of Products and Services

8.3.1 General
Design management is of major importance to the Company and for this reason it has
been classified as one of the core processes of the IMS. Engineering is managed on each
site and not by a central department. This is necessary as each project has unique
design requirements and parameters that cannot be handled centrally.

8.3.2 Design and Development Planning


The design process may be performed in-house by qualified, competent personnel with
experience in the relevant field or assigned to recognized external design firms and other
design specialists who are suitably qualified for the required design activities, depending
on the nature and complexity.

In any case the Company determines the design stages, the review, verification and
validation of each stage and the responsibilities and authorities for such planning. The
Company also ensures effective communication, between any involved company
personnel and external collaborators, during the aforementioned stages.

8.3.3 Design and Development Inputs


Inputs concerning project requirements related to the design are determined during
contract review. Such inputs may be preliminary / schematic design, IFC drawings,
material specifications, project operation and performance objectives, relevant legislation
and standards as well as information from previous similar projects.

The project Technical Office Manager is responsible for reviewing design input and for
identifying incomplete, ambiguous or conflicting requirements. In such cases requests for
information are raised to the client and where deemed necessary the Project Manager
obtains further clarifications or information prior to proceeding with any design
development activities.

In the case that AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. has no input to the design (e.g. working as a
subcontractor) the project team reviews the shop drawings and identifies any omissions
or conflicts prior to proceeding with any construction works.

8.3.4 Design and Development Controls


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. performs regular reviews during the planning stage to assess the
ability of the design process to meet the requirements and to take necessary corrective
actions when problems are identified.

Participants in design reviews include representatives from all functions concerned with
the design stage being reviewed.

During the planning stage, AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. determines that verification of design
and development output is performed during project realization, through joint

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 37 of 53

inspections carried out and approved by the Engineer. Records of such verification
results are maintained as well as of any corrective actions taken in case of deviations.

Validation of design and development output is performed by independent Qatar


registered qualified engineers, or by other qualified individuals at planned stages of the
project. Relevant design validation records are also maintained.

Records of design reviews, verification, validation and any corrective actions taken are
maintained.

8.3.5 Design and Development Outputs


The design output is documented and expressed in terms of detailed specifications, shop
drawings, calculations and any other document necessary to allow the interpretation of
the design in a clear, concise and unambiguous manner. It meets the input
requirements, provides sufficient information for purchasing and service provision,
contains reference to acceptance criteria and specifies those characteristics which are
essential to the safe and proper, as intended, operation of the project.

8.3.6 Design and Development Changes


Design changes and modifications may be a result of a change initiated by the client or
of a corrective action implemented in order to rectify a detected non-conformity. Design
changes are covered by the same criteria and treated as original project requirements.

All design changes are reviewed, verified and validated prior to their implementation as
per operational procedure OP.07.01 “Field Change Request and Drawing Modification”.
Such review may include an assessment of their impact to the health and safety of the
workers and the environment. Records of such design change reviews are maintained.

Whenever a change in the design takes place all relevant personnel, including
subcontractors and suppliers are notified. Records of such notifications are also kept.

8.4 Control of Externally Provided Products and Services

8.4.1 General
Failures in purchasing often have great cost and time impact to projects. Therefore, it is
of great importance to the Company to ensure that materials, products and services
ordered to be incorporated in the project conform to specified requirements. The same
applies for materials, equipment or services not intended to be incorporated in a project
but are essential for smooth function such as plant and equipment, furniture,
consumables, IT equipment etc.

8.4.2 Type and Extent of Control of External Provision


The type and extent of control that AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. applies to its subcontractors
and suppliers depends on the effect of the purchased product / service to the project.
The Company has established specific criteria for selecting, evaluating and re-evaluating
its suppliers and subcontractors for their quality, health & safety and environmental
performance as well as other factors such as reliability, flexibility, financial security, etc.
and maintains relevant records.

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 38 of 53

The Procurement Manager maintains a list of approved suppliers / subcontractors


(including designers) in the Head Office and forwards it to each project Procurement
Manager every time it is updated.
Several documented operational procedures have been developed to define the inputs
and outputs of the purchasing process. Evaluation of new suppliers and existing
suppliers’ evaluation is described in OP.08.04 “Selection and Evaluation of
Subcontractors and Suppliers”.

8.4.3 Information for External Providers


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. ensures that purchasing is carried out in a way that
nonconformities due to wrong data and specifications during contact with suppliers /
subcontractors / designers are avoided. Purchasing information contains detailed
description of the product / scope of works and approval requirements for the same,
including drawings, specifications and any specific requirements for qualification of
personnel involved, as applicable. The Company’s quality, health & safety and
environmental requirements are also included together with consequences of deviation
from applicable procedures.
Purchase orders, purchase agreements and subcontracts are reviewed for adequacy and
accuracy prior to their communication to the supplier / subcontractor / designer.
Qualified personnel perform inspections on purchased materials / equipment to ensure
that they meet the specifications and requirements specified on the purchase
documents. Such inspections may be carried out:
In the supplier’s / manufacturer’s premises prior to their dispatch to the project.
This may include scheduled site visits and Factory Acceptance Tests
In the project stores upon delivery on site

It is usual that the above inspections are witnessed by a client representative and
approval is granted on the spot. Whenever a problem occurs or additional information is
required the supplier is contacted immediately and appropriate corrective actions are
implemented.

8.5 Production and Service Provision

8.5.1 Control of Production and Service Provision


Upon contract award AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. plans and executes projects under controlled
conditions. Controlled conditions include communication channels, procedures, work
instructions, programmes, plans, equipment, etc. for the following stages of the project:
Site mobilization and start up
Execution of work according to the project schedule and budget
Coordination of work crews
Communication with the client
Interdepartmental communication
Execution of required inspections, measurements and tests
Supervision of work execution
Monitoring of project cost and processing of relevant data
Monitoring of the implementation of the IMS
Measurements / certifications of works executed
Maintenance of relevant files in the project records

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 39 of 53

The Company also plans the completion and hand over of projects under controlled
conditions according to procedure OP.12.07 “Head Contract Administration”. Controlled
conditions include:

Completion of all pending works


Completion of final project measurements
Site demobilization
Testing & commissioning completion
Qatar Civil Defense inspection
Compilation of taking over documentation dossier
Return of project bonds
Negotiations for resolution of pending disagreements
Financial closure of project
Project evaluation
Filing of project records

Facility management contracts are also executed under controlled conditions according
to project specific operational procedures, method statements and SOPs.

Where the results of construction / installation / supply processes and methods cannot
be fully verified by subsequent inspection and testing, (deficiencies that become
apparent only after the project has been used) processes are reviewed by qualified
personnel and revised as necessary.

Where conformance of the works cannot be verified by final inspection (covered works),
it is ensured that evidence is generated during the process as a means of verifying that
conformance has been achieved.

8.5.2 Identification and Traceability


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. identifies technical documents, materials, services and works
where appropriate throughout the duration of a project until the issuance of the Final
Acceptance Certificate by the Client. Identification and traceability, where applicable, is
achieved by:

Encoding all project technical documents as per respective disciplines according to


the project document and data control procedure
Marking of all materials incorporated in the project with a practical code,
according to the WBS code specified in the purchase orders
Assigning a WBS code to all works performed on site

8.5.3 Property Belonging to Clients or External Providers


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. pays special attention to the identification and traceability of
products (materials, equipment, etc.) supplied by the client. Such products are received,
stored and dispatched to the site in such a way that potential problems such as variance
from specifications are relayed immediately to and resolved by the client. Cases of
damage and/or loss are also immediately communicated to the client and appropriate
corrections and corrective actions are taken. Records of such communication and
corrective actions are maintained.

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 40 of 53

8.5.4 Preservation
Material receipt, handling, storage, preservation and release are carried out according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations and specified project requirements in a way that
wear, tear or any other damage to the material and adverse effects on the environment
and the health and safety of personnel handling the material are prevented. Dedicated
areas are arranged for hazardous materials, scrapped and / or rejected items.

Special care is taken in the following cases:

Handling of material or equipment where special handling requirements apply


Storage of material or equipment where special storage requirements apply
Handling and storage of hazardous material
Storage of material with short life time
Handling of material or equipment that their delivery to site is under the
responsibility of the Company

Storage space (stores) for the protection and safety of material and equipment is
available at all project sites and is inspected regularly by competent personnel to ensure
the compliance with project specifications and the good condition of the material /
equipment.

8.5.5 Post-Delivery Activities


The Company determines its post-delivery activities case by case for all contracts. Such
post-delivery activities include any works during the defects liability period of a contract,
as well as maintenance and operation activities for projects already handed over to the
Client.

8.5.6 Control of Changes


Any unplanned changes that have an impact to the Company’s ability to deliver a project
or service are reviewed and controlled. Records of such reviews are maintained including
the personnel who have authorized such changes and any actions taken.

8.6 Release of Products and Services


A documented procedure OP.11.12 “Inspection and Testing for Works” is being
implemented in order to ensure that contract requirements related to the characteristics
of the projects have been met.

It is usual that inspection and testing requirements are well defined in project
specifications. Project teams ensure that Inspection & Test Plans (ITP’s) and testing
procedures, where applicable, are developed in compliance with those requirements and
include in detail documents review, inspection and testing activities, works execution
acceptance criteria and control points.

In the case that materials / equipment / works do not comply with project specifications
and specified acceptance criteria are not met appropriate corrective actions are
implemented. Duly signed records demonstrating the compliance of materials /
equipment / works with project specifications are maintained.

There are inspection and testing requirements for materials incorporated to the project,
for construction works executed, for the functional behaviour of systems installed

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 41 of 53

(Testing and Commissioning) and for the final hand over of the project to the operator.
The required inspections are carried out at appropriate phases as follows:

Materials incorporated to the project:

Prior to their dispatch to the project


In the project stores upon delivery on site

Permanent materials may be inspected in the supplier’s / manufacturer’s premises prior


to their dispatch to the project in order to ensure that non-conforming products do not
reach the project site and save transportation costs and time. Factory Acceptance Tests
are carried out to ensure that systems or equipment comply with the project
requirements. Those tests may require ambient conditions difficult to achieve in the site
and therefore are executed in the manufacturers’ or independent 3rd party testing
agencies’ premises.

Material inspections are carried out also in project stores according to the respective
ITP’s.

During execution of construction works:

Internal inspections / tests carried out by the project Quality Department


Joint inspections witnessed by the Engineer

All construction works are inspected internally. Where the respective ITP provides
witness or hold points an additional joint inspection witnessed by the Engineer is carried
out. Succeeding works do not proceed until the specified acceptance criteria are met and
inspection reports are duly signed.

Testing & Commissioning:

Pre-Commissioning of project systems


Commissioning of project systems

Pre-functional checks are primarily static inspections to prepare the equipment or system
for initial operation. They are based on manufacturers’ data, drawings and specifications
and include the required installation, checkout, and start-up activities. The checks are
carried out to ensure that the components and systems are complete and initial start-
ups have been performed.

In some cases pre-functional checks have already been executed during the execution of
construction works testing phase and are not repeated unless it is necessary in order to
ensure the safe operation of the functional checks. In any case pre-functional checks
have to be successful prior to proceeding with the functional tests.

Functional testing is the dynamic testing of systems (rather than just components) under
full operation. Systems are tested under various operational modes, such as during low
cooling or heating loads, high loads, component failures, power failure, etc. The systems
are run through all the control system’s sequences of operation and components are
verified to be responding as the sequences state.

Final Hand Over Inspection:

Upon completion of the works a final inspection is carried out according to the provisions
of the contract. Minor deficiencies are listed in punch lists to allow further rectification

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 42 of 53

without affecting handing over of the project to the client / operator. Punch list items are
followed up and closed one by one and closed punch lists are included in the project
dossier.

8.7 Control of Nonconforming Process Outputs, Products and Services

8.7.1 Control of Nonconformities


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. has established and maintains a documented procedure OP.11.13
“Non Conformity and Corrective Action” to control actual / potential non-conformances,
to identify related responsibilities and authorities and to define the requirements for:

Evaluating proactively the need for actions in order to prevent the occurrence of
nonconformities
Identifying nonconformities including complaints from the client, authorities or
any other interested party
Investigating nonconformities, determining their root cause and taking actions in
order to avoid their reoccurrence
Correcting nonconformities and taking actions to eliminate or mitigate their
impact to the quality of the product, the health & safety of any individual affected
and the environment

Any nonconforming or potentially nonconforming situation is reviewed with the


concerned Department Head and the client, where applicable, and corrected accordingly.
In all cases nonconforming situations are analysed, their impact with regard to quality,
health & safety and the environment is assessed and a suitable corrective / preventive
action is planned and implemented.

Records of actual / potential nonconformities and any subsequent actions taken,


including concessions obtained, if any, are maintained.

8.7.2 Incident Investigation


The Company has established and maintains a documented procedure OP.11.14
“Incident Reporting & Investigation” to define the requirements for reporting, recording,
investigating and analysing incidents. The procedure aims to identify:

Any IMS deficiencies and other factors that may be causing or contributing to the
occurrence of incidents
The need for corrective action or opportunities for preventive action
Opportunities for continual improvement

Incident investigations are conducted as soon as reasonably practicable and the site
where the incident has occurred is not disturbed until a qualified inspector arrives at the
scene or at any other time that the qualified inspector directs. Preservation of incident
sites does not include certain actions such as assisting injured persons or other actions
necessary in order to make the site safe or to minimize the risk of a further incident.

The results of incident investigations are documented, maintained and communicated as


per Company procedure.

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS

Revision: 03 Page: 43 of 53

8.8 Emergency Preparedness and Response


A documented procedure OP.11.15 “Emergency Preparedness and Response” has been
developed to identify potential emergency situations and to define how to respond in
such situations.

Emergency response plans that clearly define roles and responsibilities in the case of an
emergency are developed for the Head Office and for every project site. Project site
emergency plans take great consideration to the fact that a number of different
contractors may be operating simultaneously in the same workplace.

Emergency response plans include contact details of the emergency crews, evacuation
procedures, assembly points, first aid, medical treatment and assistance, notification of
emergency services (Qatar Civil Defence, Police, hospitals, etc.) among other directions.

Where applicable, alertness drills are performed at regular intervals and the alarm and
warning systems provided are tested.

9 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

9.1 Monitoring, Measurement, Analysis and evaluation

9.1.1 General
A documented procedure OP.11.10 “Performance Measurement, Analysis and Continual
Improvement” is implemented to monitor and measure IMS performance on a regular
basis and to define the methods used to:

Demonstrate conformity to product (project) requirements, and to the


requirements of the IMS
Monitor the extent to which the IMS objectives are met
Analyze the effectiveness of the control measures in place
Assess the effectiveness of the IMS in terms of being proactive rather than
reactive
Ensure that the effectiveness of all core and support processes is continually
improved

This may include audits, inspections, site measurements, sampling and the use of
statistical methods.

IMS processes are regularly monitored through internal audits in order to evaluate their
ability to achieve planned results, to ensure compliance to all applicable requirements
and to identify areas for improvement. Where applicable the effectiveness of the IMS
processes is measured. The type and extend of the monitoring depends on the impact of
the process to quality, health & safety and environmental objectives and the associated
risk. When planned results are not achieved corrective action is taken as appropriate.

Appropriate process targets and Key Performance Indicators, as applicable, are defined
according to the procedure OP.11.03 “Objectives and Targets” and reviewed during the
management review meetings. Measurements data are collected by the respective Head
of Department, reviewed against planned results and evaluated. Raw data, process
evaluations and KPIs are presented to the top management using statistical tools like bar
charts, pie charts etc. These statistical reports are reviewed in the following
management review meeting to initiate suitable corrective actions like resetting of
targets, establishment of new process measures or any other appropriate action. The
details of actions taken are recorded in the management review minutes of meeting.

9.1.2 Client Satisfaction


Client satisfaction is of utmost importance to AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. and one of the most
critical elements of the IMS. The Company monitors information relating to its clients’
perception as to whether their requirements are fulfilled. Such information is collected in
a variety of ways such as:

Client satisfaction surveys,


Client awards, appreciation letters, references
Client complaints
Client loyalty
Meetings
Press releases, media advertisements, press conferences

This document is uncontrolled unless viewed in EDMS


Document: MAN.11.01 IMS Manual Date: 12.06.2019
Revision: 03 Page: 45 of 53

Client related feedback is evaluated and the results and findings of such evaluation of
client satisfaction are used as main input during the IMS management reviews. Based on
the outcome of the review appropriate corrective or preventive actions are taken in order
to enhance client satisfaction and the quality of the services provided by the Company.

9.1.3 Analysis and Evaluation of Compliance


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. determines, collects and analyses appropriate data to determine
the suitability and effectiveness of the IMS and to identify areas for improvement. This
includes data generated by process monitoring and measurement, internal audits,

9.2 Internal Audit


AKTOR QATAR W.L.L. conducts internal audits at planned intervals in order to collect
objective evidence and determine whether the IMS:

Complies with International Standards, namely ISO 9001:2008, ISO 45001:2018


and ISO 14001:2004
Is effectively implemented and maintained in order to meet the Company’s policy
and objectives.

Internal audits are conducted both at the Head Office and at project sites and the audit
reports are used as main input during the IMSMR’s. Audit findings are reviewed and
appropriate corrective or preventive actions are taken when necessary.

Internal audits’ scope may be limited to cover separately quality, health and safety or
environmental aspects but may also cover extended aspects of the IMS depending on
the process being audited. In any case audits are carried out by employees who are
competent and independent of audited workplaces and activities.

Internal audits are scheduled based on:

The importance or critical nature of each activity with regards to quality, risk and
environmental impact,
Findings of previous audits.

The Overall Audit Schedule of the company is drawn up every year. At the start of a new
project, specific audit schedule is also prepared as per project requirements.

A documented procedure OP.11.11 “Integrated Management System Audits” is being


implemented in order to define:

Internal audit scope, criteria, frequency and methods,


Competence and skills of internal auditors
