Environmental and Social A business plan for Environmental and Social to prevent and/or reduce
policy losses in an organization.
An Environmental and Social policy set out general approach and

management commitments together with the arrangements that must be put
in place for managing Environmental and Social matters in the business. It
is a unique document that says who does what. The policy is usually made
up of three parts:
(1) A Statement of Intent. A written policy statement which shows the staff,
and any other person, the company’s commitment to Environment and
Social matters management and its continuous improvement, providing the
general Environmental and Social objectives of the organization.
(2) Organization details. This section identifies the Environmental and

Social roles and responsibilities of everyone in the organization and
identifies the channels of communication within the organization.
(3) Arrangements. This section explains how the company policy will be
implemented with the practical means for achieving the identified
Environmental and Social objectives.
Hazard Something with the potential to cause harm or damage to environment or
cause adverse health effect on a person.
HSE Supervisor: As part of the HSE team verify the correct implementation of the
Environmental and Social policy, plans and procedures, and make sure that
employers and workers put them into practice and follow safety laws; it is a
key role to prevent accidents, injuries and health concerns in the workplace.
Incident Undesired event with a set of conditions or circumstances that have the
potential to cause injury or ill health.
Work-related event(s) in which an injury, ill health, property damage,
environmental incident or fatality occurs, or could have occurred.
An incident where no injury, ill health, or fatality occurs may also be
referred to as a “near-miss”, “near- hit”, “close call”. An emergency
situation is a particular type of incident.

subcontractor, sub-subcontractor and so forth.
Tool Box Meeting "Toolbox Talks", "Toolbox Topics", "Safety Chats", "Tailgate Meetings" is
(TBM) a brief safety talk or meeting about a specific subject at the beginning of the
shift. These talks can be done in a variety of ways but are typically a brief
(5-10 minutes) interactive discussion meeting on a safety-related topic.
Toolbox Topics are used to cover a variety of short safety training subjects
and to remind employees each day before they go to work about the
importance of being safe.
We Talk Safety A tool that allows Management and line supervision to set up a systematic
(WTS) approach to constructive correction of unsafe behaviour as well as being a
tool for praising safe work. The safety conversation shall be carried out by
the Line Supervisor and a management representative.
Injury or illness An injury or illness is considered work-related if an event or exposure in the
work environment caused or contributed to the condition or significantly
aggravated a pre-existing condition.
Near Miss An event or circumstance which has the potential to cause serious physical
(NM) or psychological injury, unexpected death, or significant property or
environment damage, but did not actualize due to chance, corrective action,
and/or timely intervention. A near miss is a free lesson in proactive risk
management and error prevention.
Environmental Incident An incident or set of circumstances which results in a leak, spillage or other
release or deposit of a substance. Relates to exceeding allowed emission
limits to ground, air and water.
Fatality (FTL) An accident that causes loss of life.

4.4 Project General Description
The Project Site is located on the coast immediately south of the existing Al Dur Power and Water Plant
Phase I facility, which is around 34 km south of Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain. The site elevation is
approximately three (3) to fifteen (15) meters above sea level (high astronomical tide) and has an area of
approximately one hundred ninety-two thousand five hundred squared meters (192,500m2).
The location of the Site is set out in the map below:
Figure 1 – Project Geographical Location
Al-Dur II IWPP project includes the design, construction, commissioning and testing of a high efficiency gas
fired power generation facility and a desalination facility. The scope of the Project includes not only supply
of the main power generation production facilities on the Site but also all equipment and services necessary
for the complete installation and safe and prudent operation and maintenance of the Plant. The project
schedule is shown in the appendix 7 for reference.
The Project will be developed as an Independent Water and Power Project (IWPP) comprising of a natural
gas combined cycle gas turbine with a net power capacity of 1,524MW and a seawater reverse osmosis
desalination plant with a 50MIGD net capacity. The Project will be developed on a Build Own and Operate
(BOO) basis.
The Project will make use of the existing seawater intake and outfall components, currently in use for the
operation of the Al Dur Phase I. Hence, the scope of the Project will include the survey and assessment of
11/113
the site on-shore components, the development, design, engineering financing, construction, commissioning,
operations and maintenance of the IWPP as well as project infrastructures and facilities.
4.5 Main System
The Plant configuration is as follows:
 Four gas turbine units;

 Two condensing steam turbine units;
 6 Synchronous Generator for Gas Turbines and Steam Turbines
 Four Heat Recovery Steam Generators;
 2 Induced draft seawater cooling towers
 1 desalination plant with seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) technology, including a sea water intake
pumping system;
 The gas turbines of the Plant is designed for dual fuel capability. The Plant is designed to run with
natural gas and is expected to operate on imported RLNG in its life time.
Descriptions of the Project’s facilities, infrastructure, processes and technologies are provided in the
subsections below.
4.5.1 Power Generation
Power Generation Units

The Power Generation Unit will consist of four (4) gas turbine generators (GTG), four (4) Heat Recovery
Steam Generator (HRSG) systems and two (2) steam turbines (ST) (arranged in a 4-4-2 configuration)
designed to generate up to 1,524.6 MW (net) of power. The turbines will operate on natural gas only and will
operate on simple or combined cycle modes.
Under combined cycle operation, the exhaust gas system from the GTGs will direct hot exhaust gases into
the HRSG in order to produce steam to operate the Steam Turbines. After the exhaust gases have passed
through the HRSG boiler, they will be emitted through the main stack associated with the HRSG. The bypass
stacks will enable the plant to run under simple cycle operation when required. When operating in simple
cycle, the entire HRSG and steam turbine system will be bypassed resulting in emissions from the bypass
stacks associated with the GTGs. Four 60m high by-pass stacks, 1 per GTG, and four 60 m high main stacks,
one per HRSG are included in the proposed design. The GTGs will be supplied by Siemens and will be
SGT5-5000 types. The STs will also be supplied by Siemens and will be SST5-5000 type. The project
Sponsors concluded that Siemens with the largest advanced F-class 50Hz fleet, are the best fit for the Project
as it provided the best GT performance and the best optimized combined cycle performance.
Fuel
The project will operate exclusively on natural gas, supplied by Tatweer Company and will be delivered via
the existing gas receiving station that is in place at Al Dur Phase 1. It is anticipated that RLNG fuel will be
utilised in the future, which would also be delivered via the same existing gas receiving facility.
There are no provisions in the projects design or requirements by EWA for backup liquid fuel. However, the
Project will incorporate emergency power supplies through smaller diesel generating units to ensure the safe
and shutdown of all components in the event of emergency. As such a small diesel fuel tank will be
incorporated on-site and will be re-fuelled by road tanker (as applicable).
12/113
Emissions Monitoring and Abatement Technologies
In order to ensure that the operation of the plant is compliant with the applicable regulations on emissions
discharges, the plant will be powered by natural gas as the primary fuel which will eliminate emissions of
sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulates. The Siemens GTGs will be equipped with low NOx burners and will
have emissions monitoring via Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) on both the main and
bypass stacks, for monitoring concentration of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Carbon Monoxide (CO).
Power Block Cooling

Power block cooling will be provided on a closed loop basis by mechanical induced draft counterflow
cooling towers. The project will include either 40 or 48 cooling cells. The circulating water will be pumped
to the top of each cell to a distribution header from where it is discharged through spray nozzles. The water is
cooled by evaporative (main effect) and sensible cooling as it descends.
The use of the closed loop cooling system will minimise the need for water and reduce the residual influence
of thermal effluent on the receiving marine environment. Based on an ambient sea temperature of 30ºC, the
incorporation of minimal blowdown from the cooling towers is expected to result in a thermal temperature
increase (ΔT) of 2.1ºC when mixed with other discharge streams prior to the outfall.
4.5.2 Water Desalination
Sea Water Reverse Osmosis

The Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO or RO) plant performs the main function of separating the dissolved
salts from the seawater to generate permeate water that is used in potable processes following further
remineralisation. Separation is achieved by forcing seawater through membranes, with high pressure being
used to drive the process. In contrast to normal osmosis, the reverse osmosis process results in the separation
of almost all the dissolved salts and also removes bacteria as well as other ions.
The RO plant will consist of 2 independent blocks (50% of the total project capacity each) and each be
configured with multiple independent trains. Each train will consist of a series of pressure vessels, a cartridge
filter, a high-pressure pump, an isobaric energy recovery device and one or two booster pumps. An energy
recovery has been included in the design to reduce the required pumping energy.
The RO membranes separate the water into two streams; the permeate (which has passed through the
membrane and has had most of the dissolved constituents removed) and the concentrate/brine (which
contains the dissolved solids). The seawater concentrate is returned to the sea through the exiting outfall and
the permeate is treated in a second pass to make it potable.
Pre-treatment system
A pre-treatment system will be incorporated to ensure that the necessary volume of seawater is available for
the RO membranes and that specific requirements in relation to chemical / biological parameters (as
indicated by the manufacturer) are maintained at all times.
Pre-treatment system for each of the Desalination Units will consist as a minimum the following:
 Coagulation and flocculation;
 Dissolved Air Flotation system followed by Dual Media Filters;
 Filter backwash and air scouring system;
 Sludge handling and treatment system; and
 Potabilization.
13/113
Potable water produced via the RO process has a low mineral composition. Drinking water therefore requires
the addition of mineral content via the following:
 Carbon dioxide dosing system suitable for drinking water purpose;

 Lime stone filter system (or) lime water dosing system with facilities to prepare lime water;
 Potable Water chlorination system (using food grade hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide); and
 pH correction system and other necessary dosing system.
To ensure that the minimum requirements for potable water quality are met, three analysers will be installed
to monitor quality. The first analyser will be at the Potable Water storage tank located immediately after the
potabilization process. The other two analysers will be located after the storage tank and before the Al Dur
Forwarding Station (Water Delivery Point) in order to re-confirm the condition of the potable water.
4.5.3 Common Facilities (Al Dur IWPP Phases I & II)
Seawater Intake, Screening, Chlorination and Pumping

The project will make use of existing seawater intake (in use by the Al Dur Phase I), eliminating the need for
additional offshore construction activities. As such, only minor onshore works will be required to connect
the existing infrastructure to the Project and to include additional infrastructure (pumps, bar screen with
mechanical rakes for debris collection, debris pit, motorised mesh screen with automatic backwash, etc.).
The total intake water for the Al Dur Phase II Project has been estimated in 32,514 m3/hr.
It is noted that the existing seawater intake includes a sub-surface pipeline with intake headers approximately
1.5km offshore perpendicular to the coastline from the Al Dur Phase 1 Project. Seawater intake pipelines
will be routed from the existing Seawater Intake Infrastructure to the Project site using a corridor of
undeveloped land between the shoreline and the boundary of the Al Dur Phase 1 and the Project. The
connection from the existing Seawater Intake Infrastructure to the new CCGT and SWRO will supply of raw
water for the cooling requirements of the CCGT and potable water production by the SWRO. Seawater must
be conditioned to ensure it is of a suitable quality for use in the CCGT and the SWRO plant. The chlorination
requirements of Al Dur Phase II intake water supply have already been considered during Al Dur Phase I,
and an electro-chlorination facility is already in place and in use by the Al Dur Phase I. Like the entire
intake/outfall arrangement, this was designed to have sufficient capacity to meet the chlorination requirement
of both Al Dur Phase I and Phase II.
Seawater Outfall
The thermal and brine effluent will be discharged to the Arabian Gulf through the existing seawater outfall at
Al Dur Phase 1, eliminating the need for additional offshore construction. Seawater outfall pipelines will be
routed from the Project to the existing Outfall connection at the outfall channel.
The total discharge to the sea is estimated in 20,929m3/hr (brine and minimal thermal effluent) including
approximately 0.01 ton/h of treated wastewater.
Gas Supply
The Natural Gas supply headers for the Project are already constructed and in operation as a common line for
the Al Dur Phase 1 project. Branch connections are provided in the existing Gas Facilities to which the Al
Dur IWPP Phase 2 project will connect to.
4.5.4 Additional Project Components
The following main additional components will be included as part of the Project:
14/113
 400 KV GIS Substation.
 Two-lane dual carriageway access road from the existing road located in the western extent of the plot.
 Internal 7m wide road for accessing existing seawater intake connections from the Phase 2 Project.
 Wastewater: The following liquid waste water facilities are included in the design.
 Oily waste water collection and treatment system.
 Collection of chemical drains, regeneration waste of demineralization plant, neutralisation /
attenuation of all chemical wastewater streams.
 RO pre-treatment wastewater treatment system (including separate collection system and adequate

15.9 Prevention and Response to Spills and Accidental Discharges
The most common environmental emergency in construction site is the oil and chemical spill, which is a
potential cause for soil contamination, groundwater and water pollution. Spills of hazardous materials may
include:
 Gasoline
 Diesel
 Adhesives
 Hydraulic oil
 Lubricating oil and grease
 Cleaning solvents
 Paint and paint thinners
 Concrete from release agents
 Sewage Water
 Chemical Substances used in the Pre-Commissioning and Commissioning Stage
The ERP must be prepared to cover all potential risks of accidents or spills and will be made known and
available to all workers within the construction site. Key personnel will know and understand their
responsibilities as well as coordinate their response actions with their subordinates.
Each individual will be introduced to their Line Supervisor and HSE team members during the induction
training. Emergency services shall be notified as necessary by the Supervisor or HSE Team members.
A variety of equipment and personal protective equipment may be needed to support a chemical or oil spill
incident response. A list of equipment is detailed below:
• Sand
• Sand bags
• Buckets and shovels
• Storage containers
67/113
• Spill kit
Sand stocks will be dry and buckets and shovels readily available. Mechanical loading shovels, excavators
and dump trucks may also be available for sand distribution and clean up. Storage containers for
contaminated materials and earth will be in place, located in the waste storage area, labeled and treated as
hazardous waste. These material are to be used to contain and clean up pollution/spills, proper care will be
taken to dispose of any absorbent materials properly. The Supervisor and Environment Coordinator will keep
stocks well maintained and replenished.
In the event of a chemical or oil spill, the following measures will be taken:
• Notify Supervisor or Environment Coordinator
• Only attempt containment and clean-up operations of spilt substances when it can be performed
safely
• If spilled material is flammable, eliminate sources of ignition near spill area
• Evacuate personnel and neighbours if they are at risk
• Secure the area and establish perimeter control at a safe distance from the spill.
Oil Spill Response Options
Remedial action to collect and remove all materials contaminated by the oil spillage or leakage event is to be
taken immediately. The following actions are required:
 Any oil remaining on the ground is to be collected using oil spill kit. The spill is to be surrounded by
the kit and then the area of the spill is to be slowly reduced by enclosing the absorbent. The absorbent
pads will be used to absorb the oil. Once all of the oil on the ground surface has been collected, the
absorbent agents themselves are to be appropriately stored and disposed of.
 All contaminated materials are to be handled as hazardous waste. The contaminated material shall be
collected and appropriately stored. A hazardous waste vendor will collect this material.
 Contaminated materials will be stored in plastic barrels with tightly closing lids. These barrels are to
be stored in a concrete lined bund if available. In absence of such a bund at the site, a double plastic
lined bund will be used. Barrels will be placed on plastic or wooden pallets in the temporary double
plastic lined bund and not directly on the plastic.
 All contaminated materials that cannot be collected and disposed are to be cleaned in-situ. This
cleaning is to be undertaken by an approved service providers.
Chemical Spill Response Options
The following actions are to be taken in case of a chemical spill:
 Only attempt containment and clean-up operations of spilt substances when it can be performed safely.
 If spilled material is flammable, eliminate sources of ignition near spill area.
 Liquid spills – The spill path will be blocked or diverted and then soaked up using an absorbent material
such as sand.
 Gaseous leaks – A gaseous leak must be stopped at the source as soon as possible and will then be
dispersed in the air.
 No spills will be rinsed away.
68/113
 Contaminated soils and clean-up materials from spills will be handled properly using personal
protective equipment, stored in a suitable container that is labeled and stored in the appropriate location
for subsequent disposal.
 Any stockpiles of remnant contaminated materials will be covered.
 Contaminated materials will be stored in plastic barrels with tightly closing lids. These barrels are to be
stored in a concrete lined bund if available. In absence of such a bund at the site, a double plastic lined
bund will be used.
 Barrels will be placed on plastic or wooden pallets in the temporary double plastic lined bund and not
directly on the plastic.
15.10 Evacuation Exercise
Contractor will identify suitable and appropriate assembly point areas.
These areas will be communicated to all employees and visitors.
Evacuation routes must be identified and marked by all Subcontractors to the closest designated assembly
points.
The Identified areas must have a sign so that employees can clearly identify the area in case of an
emergency.
If evacuation from the project is total, the main site offices shall be informed and the designated meeting
point shall be identified previously by the EPC Contractor Management Team.
The evacuation will be started on the orders of the Emergency Manager in charge, who will be responsible
for vacating the plant.
The order to evacuate will be made by activating the corresponding alarm or will be given verbally.
Members of the Evacuation Team or the Emergency Manager-in-charge shall ensure that all the employees
have left their work stations. They should then be counted at the specific assembly point in order to ensure
that no one is missing. Should anyone be missing or absent, the Emergency Teams shall be duly informed of
this fact.
Regular practice of evacuation drills will be conducted biannually to ensure that all personnel are aware of
evacuation routes and assembly point and what to do in case of emergency.

marks in previous audits.
During this internal E&S Audit, the HSE Team shall:
 visit all the areas of the project

 have meetings with staff in charge of the E&S of the subcontractors
70/113
 ensure the fulfilment of the specifications of the CESMP
 analyze any deviations
 decide if deviations call for no-compliance notice
 open non-conformities (if needed)
 follow up on the non-conformities
 prepare a report (summary, conclusions, correctives actions)
 report the status/situation to the Project Manager and/or the HSE Manager
Environmental compliance audit checklist is shown in the appendix No. 10:
16.2 External Audits
EPC Contractor shall coordinate a 3rd party HSE & SR Audit to its HSE & SR Management System,
including the HSE & SR Management System of the Subcontractors. This external audit shall be carried out
every 6 months. This audit shall be conducted by a 3 rd party consultant with recognized international
reputation and with thorough knowledge of Bahrain regulations as well as Lenders requirements (IFC
Standards). The audit may include the participation of Owner HSE Department staff.
16.3 Control of Non-conformance
The EPC Contractor shall be responisble for developing an Environmental & Social Non-Conformity Report
Form as part of the Project-specific ESMS. This report shall be part of the E&S Audit Procedure (AD2-C3-
00-YDC-GGP-CON-00037) and shall be used to identify the root cause of the issue so that the deviation can
be corrected and the potential for any future instances can be prevented. The personnel responsible for E&S
issues on site is responsible for reporting E&S Non-Conformancies. It shall be noted that Non-
conformancies can be raised not only from formal auditing process but also from daily E&S observations
identified during daily, weekly, monthly walkthroughs, management visits and/or any other source of
identification of deviations to the E&S Management System.
Findings or Deviations shall be evaluated on the basis of the following classifications:
Table 14 – Type of HSE and S&E Audit Findings

Non-conformities (N): Failure to fulfill one or more requirements of the management system or
a situation that raises significant doubt about the ability of the client's
management system to achieve its intended outputs.
The causes of the identified nonconformities must be analyzed and

the planned corrective actions effectively implemented.
The auditor generally verifies the effectiveness of corrective action in an

on-site follow up audit unless verification is possible on the basis of
submitted new documentation.

the H&S and E&S Observations statistics in which trends are identified based on the type of observations
73/113
identified on a monthly basis. These statistics are part of the H&S and E&S Section for the Construction
Progress Monthly Report.
17. Reports
17.1 EPC Contractor Weekly E&S report
The project HSE team will feedback to their respective HSE manager on a weekly basis Saturday to
Thursday. The following headings are to be used: Incident update, Areas of concern, Resource requirements
(to the HSE team), forthcoming week requirements, among others.
17.2 EPC Contractor Monthly E&S report
A project report containing E&S Performance will be issued on a monthly basis covering the following
items:
1) Key E&S items and activities occurring and undertaken during the period;
2) Status of compliance of the ESIA requirements.
3) A series of proactive and reactive performance measures detailing key findings and actions taken to
address any deficiencies or promulgate learning opportunities;
4) Suitable analysis and trending results for the E&S Observation Reporting system;
5) For record keeping purposes suitable proactive and reactive statistics;
6) Engagement status of each subcontractor e.g. work hours per SOR raised, inspections and meetings
attended;
7) Upcoming E&S challenges;
8) Hours worked in the field by both EPC Contractor and each subcontractor;
9) Any other reasonable E&S performance request from the Project Team.
17.3 Subcontractors Monthly E&S report
Contractors shall prepare their own monthly E&S report analyzing their own company performance and
identifying action to be taken to ensure continual improvement is achieved. A copy of this report should be
issued to the EPC Contractor HSE Manager within 1 week of the period end. This report should also include
progress against the Subcontractors E&S Action Plan.
17.4 Owners E&S Reporting requirements
EPC Contractor Monthly E&S Report shall prepare a monthly report with the E&S Reporting Requirements
specified by the Owner. EPC Contractor shall comply with this requirement as well as any other E&S legal
reporting requirement stipulated in the Bahraini laws applicable to the project.
EPC Contractor shall use the E&S reporting formats specified by the Owners.
17.5 Environmental and Social Key Performance Indicators Recording and Statistics
74/113
As part of the E&S Reports, EPC Contractor shall prepare the statistics of all the relevant Key Performance
Indicators.
EPC Contractor shall make use of the data available to continuously work to drive up standards in health,
safety, social and environment, employing a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) to track specific
objectives.
E&S KPI Targets shall be set up at the beginning of the project and compliance shall be verified on a
monthly basis by the HSE Manager. KPI Target compliance shall be reported on a monthly basis as part of
the Construction Progress Monthly Report.
KPI's are a valuable way of monitoring lagging or leading performance. Tracking them is an integral part of
EPC Contractor E&S Management System.
While lagging indicators can be used to track incidents that have occurred (past data) and assist in sourcing
the root of the problem, leading indicators are more predictive by nature, and will help EPC Contractor to
address and prevent potential issues and incidents from occurring in the first place.
A good KPI is a ‘SMART’ KPI:
Specific – it should be clear what is being measured

Measurable – it should be measurable against set standards
Achievable – target a realistic/achievable goal
Relevant – it should offer insight into overall safety performance
Timely – KPI’s should follow a set time-frame
The HSE Department will monitor several indicators that impact on the Environment, such as but not limited
to:
17.5.1 Leading Indicators:

 Number of E&S Training
 E&S Inspections
 E&S Programs implemented
 E&S Practices implemented
 Proactive Practices held
 Revision of E&S Procedures and CESMP
 Top Management Tours
 Preventive Maintenance
 E&S Campaigns
 E&S Audit and Monitoring
 Preventive Housekeeping
17.5.2 Lagging Indicators:
Although EPC Contractor will always strive to prevent loss in the project, when E&S cases may occur, EPC
Contractor shall pay attention and get focused on the corrective actions derived from the analysis of HSE and
75/113
E&S incidents. These HSE and E&S incidents will be considered as lagging indicators and they will be
monitored and tracked through proper statistics on a monthly basis. The type of lagging indicators to
consider are as follows:
 Electricity consumption
 Raw Water Consumption
 Potable Water Consumption
 Treated Waste Water
 Hazardous Waste Generation
 Non-Hazardous Waste Generation
 Waste Recycled
 Environmental Incidents
 Grievance cases
 Social complaints
In order to assess and to identify trends, the man-hours generated by the man power working in Al-Dur II
IWPP will be recorded on a daily basis and reported on a monthly basis.
18.0 Recruitment policy
In order to maximise the socioeconomic benefit, the project will seek to employ local workers where
possible and where appropriate, the project will offer training to enhance the development of skills within the
local workforce. The number of local population employed in the project need to be monitored to assess the
effectiveness of the Recruitment Policy that which will be developed for the construction and operational
phase of the plant.
There is a specific procedure (Recruitment Policy plan AD2-C3-00-YDC-GGP-CON-00077) describing the
approach.
19.0 Forced and child labour policy
Introduction
EPC Contractor ‘No Forced and Child Labour Policy’ is based on the Company’s commitment to find
practical, meaningful and culturally appropriate responses to support the elimination of such labour practices.
It has been formulated in consideration with the acts. It therefore endorses the need for appropriate initiatives
to progressively eliminate these abuses.
Policy
EPC Contractor does not employ any person below the age of eighteen years at the workplace. EPC
Contractor prohibits the use of child labour and forced labour at all its units. No employee is made to work
76/113
against his/her will or work as bonded/forced labour, or subject to corporal punishment or coercion of any
type related to work.
Implementation
This policy will be publicly available throughout the project and clearly communicated to all employees in a
manner in which it can be understood through induction programmes and policy manuals. The
implementation of the policy is the responsibility of the unit’s human resources department and the security
staff, who do not permit minors to enter the site as workers. There is zero tolerance policy towards its breach.
Employment contracts and other records, documenting all relevant details of the employees, including age,
are maintained at all units and are open to verification by any authorized personnel or relevant statutory
body.
Monitoring & Audit

Periodic checks shall be conducted by the Human Resources department to ensure there are no abuses of the
labour policies.
20. Disciplinary, Incentive & Recognition Programme
20.1 HSE and E&S Disciplinary
To ensure all employees/subcontractors/suppliers etc. adhere to the required HSE and E&S standards by
making them aware of any shortcoming and identifying the necessary improvements to be achieved, the
disciplinary action with enforcement policy shall be introduced.
The enforcement policy consists of NCR, warning notice (see figure No. 9), and both concerned departments
and subcontractors should note that, failure to comply with the requirements and time scale indicated in any
of these notices, will result in the matter being referred to project management. On being informed of the
violations, and after confirming that these have still not been attended to, Project Director will approve the
corresponding disciplinary action to the concerned subcontractor.
20.2 HSE and E&S Incentive
The EPC Contractor Good Practice Awards is one of the main elements of the Healthy Workplaces
Campaign, designed to highlight the best examples of managers and employees working together for risk and
loss prevention.
The awards aim to demonstrate the benefits of following good safety and health practices. Winners will be
expected to show strong management leadership and active worker participation in safety and health. EPC
Contractor will be looking for the best examples of mutual collaboration and benefit. Entries are welcome
from all employers and workers, safety and health professionals and practitioners, and those providing
assistance and information at the workplace level.
77/113
21.0 Employee’s Handbook
EPC Contractor shall develop an Employee’s Handbook with regard to Health, Safety, Social and
Environmental matters. For that purpose, EPC Contractor will take into account as base the following
documents:
 CIRIA’s Site safety handbook (fourth edition) (C669)

 CITB Construction Site Safety Environment Book (GE 700Es/14)
 CITB Construction Environmental Manual (CENVMAN)
 IFC Performance Standards
22.0 Environmental and Social Mitigation, Management Measures and

Monitoring Requirements
This Construction Environmental and Social Management Plan is the vehicle for implementing the EPC
Contractor’s Environmental and Social Management System. It is intended to set out the minimum standards
for all project related activities and to provide a framework for managing and mitigating the environmental
and social issues associated with the site.
The Construction Environmental and Social Management Plan has been prepared based on the guidelines
listed in the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for Al-Dur II IWPP based on the IFC
Performance Standards and the Bahraini legal requirements applicable to the project. The following sections
describe the Environmental and Social Mitigation and Management Measures that the EPC Contractor shall
implement during the Construction and Commissioning of the project as well as the monitoring requirements
stipulated in the project’s ESIA.
22.1 Air Quality
Air quality impacts associated with the project are to be managed during construction and commissioning.
Construction activities will result in increased air emissions from fugitive dust, particulates, fumes and
gaseous pollutants.
It is expected that the main activities, which will impact air quality through the generation of fugitive dust,
gases and other chemical substances, include:
 Excavation, stockpiling and other earthworks;

 Transportation of materials and personnel;
 Stockpiling of spoil material from excavation and dredging will generate airborne particulates that may
be dispersed under windy conditions.
 Unloading, transportation and handling of chemical substances during pre-commissioning and
78/113
commissioning activities.
 Burn of fosil fuels during the Commissioning and Startup activites of the Gas Turbines.
22.1.1 Mitigation and Management Measures:
The Appendix No. 2 – Section 1.1 and 1.2 of this plan describe the mitigation and management measures to
be implemented by the EPC Contractor with regard to Air Quality during the Construction and
Commissioning stages of the project.
Some of the relevant requirements that EPC Contractor will implement, among others, are the following:
 Water sprays for dust suppression will be used over aggregate storage piles, internal unsealed access
roadways and work areas. Application rates will be specific to atmospheric conditions and the intensity
of construction operations.
 Where applicable, sealed roads will be swept to remove deposited material that could generate dust.
 Dust generating activities (particularly clearing and excavating) will be avoided or minimized during
dry and windy conditions (15 km/h).
 Vehicle speed limits of 20 km/h will be imposed on all construction vehicles.
 Vehicle and machinery movements during the construction works will be restricted to designated areas.
 Construction vehicles will use sealed roads wherever possible to prevent any loss of load, whether dust,
liquid or soils.
 Rumble grids and wheel wash facilities will be used at each construction site exit to remove mud and
dust from vehicles and minimize material being transferred onto a public road or footpath.
 In the event of a spillage, spilled material will be removed as soon as practicable within the working day
of the spillage.
 Vehicles transporting material to and from the construction site will be covered immediately after
loading (prior to traversing public roads) to prevent wind blowing dust emissions and spillages.
 Tailgates of road transport trucks will be securely fixed prior to loading and immediately after
unloading
 Should visible dust emissions occur at any time, works generating the dust emissions will cease, so that
emissions of visible dust cease.
 There will be a progressive rehabilitation strategy for exposed surfaces. Revegetation activities will
proceed as soon as work activities are completed within a disturbed area.
 Inspection of hazardous chemicals systems with regard to fugitive emissions, small leaks and/or venting
of fumes to the atmosphere. Leak tests shall be carried out on a monthly basis and leaks shall be fixed
immediately.
 Transportation of chemical substances shall be according to the requirements of the SDS of the material.
 Individual drums of chemical substances shall always be with the cap/plug firmly tightened so they
don’t represent a spill risk and/or fugitive emissions concern.
 Loading and unloading of chemical substances shall be carried out through systems designed for such
purpose. Connections of hoses and/or any other chemical transference system shall always be in good
condition and firmly tightened. This activity shall be done in areas where good ventilation (natural or
forced) exists.
79/113
22.1.2 Monitoring Requirements:
The Appendix No. 2 – Section 1.3 of this plan describes the monitoring requirements to be implemented by
the EPC Contractor with regard to Air Quality during the Construction and Commissioning stages of the
project.
Some of the relevant monitoring requirements to be implemented, among others, are the following:
 Visible observations of dust will be made at all times during construction.

 Monitoring will be undertaken at all locations where construction activities could generate fugitive
emissions.
 Weekly and monthly monitoring is to be reported.
 Additional dust/hazardouschemicals monitoring may be required in response to any complaint or
following the issue of an NCR
 Exhaust will be monitored if visual checks reveal black smoke or bad odour fumes; this is particularly
applicable to fixed site plant and specialized equipment.
 Internal air quality will be monitored if activities are occurring in confined spaces.
 Monthly check of vehicle logs to ensure that servicing and maintenance checks of vehicles are
undertaken as they are due.
 Monitoring will be daily during significant dust generating activities or during periods of high winds
(>15 km/h), otherwise weekly. The HSE team will determine the frequency of monitoring, either
daily/weekly monitoring depending on the environmental condition and work activities. Wind speed and
direction will be observed prior to conducting dust generating activities to determine the potential for
dust nuisance to affect sensitive areas.
 The monitoring locations will be determined at the onset of construction activities, and the air quality
analysis results will be assessed against the relevant air quality objectives.
 Construction vehicles and other combustion sources such as generators and compressors are potential
sources of air pollution due to the generation of emissions including CO, NOx, SO2 particulates. All the
vehicles and generators will be maintained at least every six months.
22.2 Noise and Vibration
Noise and Vibration Management

The various construction plant and equipment required for the Project will generate noise that may create
nuisance to nearby sensitive receptors. Although there are no residential areas immediately adjacent to the
project site, noise levels generated by construction activities have an occupational risk on the workers.
Noise impacts must therefore be controlled to ensure that IFC standards are met at the boundary or where
there are sensitive receptors such as worker accommodation on site or at adjacent locations.
A program of construction noise monitoring will be required at representative and boundary locations on a
weekly basis to ensure that construction noise does not exceed the recommended limits.
Objectives
Identification, prevention and control of excessive noise and vibration during construction and maintain
80/113
noise levels within the construction zone in accordance with the requirements of the Bahrain Environment
Regulations and and IFC EHS General Noise Guidelines.
be implemented by the EPC Contractor with regard to Noise and Vibration during the Construction and
Equipment Management
 All vehicles and mechanical plant will be fitted with effective exhaust silencers and maintained in good
working order.
 All generators and compressors adjacent to the camps will be “sound reduced” models fitted with
properly lined and sealed acoustic covers that shall be kept closed when the machines are in use, and all
pneumatic tools will be fitted with mufflers/silencers of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
 Electrically powered plant will be preferred, where practicable, to mechanically powered alternatives.
All mechanically powered plant should also be fitted with suitable silencers.
 Machines used intermittently will be shut down in intervening periods or throttled down to a minimum.
Unnecessary idling, revving and inappropriate use of equipment is prohibited.
 All pumps will be fitted with effective exhaust silencers and maintained in good and efficient working
order. All dewatering pumps to be “sound reduced‟ models fitted with properly lined and sealed
acoustic covers.
 All stationary plant will be covered where practical. Where feasible, stationary equipment will be
orientated and located away from noise-sensitive locations.
 Where reasonably and practical, the overnight operation of generators and compressors will be
prohibited using a mains source instead. Where their use is required, measures will be employed to
avoid noise transmission beyond the site boundary.
 All construction vehicles will be serviced on a weekly basis to ensure their idling speeds are maintained
and tire-pressures inflated to reduce noise levels.
Noise Management
 Diversions and accesses will be carefully designed to include road layout that minimizes traffic delays
and allows the free flow of traffic. Access routes will be away from noise-sensitive locations.
 Special regard shall be paid to minimize noise at the site boundaries. Such measures shall typically
include: the sensitive location of site offices, the construction compound and stockpiles; the use of
mobile noise screens and the silencing of plant as described above.
 Where noise levels exceed 85dB (A) noise protection devices shall be provided to personnel on-site.
This will be recorded using the Monitoring Register.
 All areas where workers will be exposed to excessive noise levels, that is 85 dB(A) and above, will have
clear warnings signs. In these areas, workers will be required to wear appropriate personal protective
equipment such as ear plugs/protectors.
 All employees and subcontractors will be advised on the need to minimize noise levels during induction
training and toolbox talks.
81/113

requirements listed in the Al-Dur II IWPP’s Environmental and Social Impact Assessment in relation to
findings of archaeological heritage during the construction activities in the project, following the IFC
Performance Standards (PS8).
The purpose of the procedure is:
 to avoid significant adverse impacts to cultural heritage

 to describe the provisions for managing chance find through a process which will be applied in the event
that cultural heritage is subsequently discovered.
 to describe the Cultural Heritage mitigation and management measures to implement from the ESIA
report for Al-Dur II IWPP, derived from IFC Performance Standards.
The complete Chance find procedure is the standalone document AD2-C3-00-YDC-GGP-CON-00058.
General Management Criteria
As stated in Al-Dur II IWPP’s ESIA report Volume 2:
Based on the observations made during the site visits and a basic secondary research, there are no features
of cultural value or evidence suggesting the presence of archaeological features within the proposed Project
footprint.
98/113
No archaeological sites within or nearby the Project site have been referenced in publicly held data such as
the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities website.
Excavation and earthwork activities can result in damage and destruction of undiscovered archaeological
artefacts.
Given the absence of cultural heritage features and lack of evidence of previous land use before industrial
development took place in the area, the presence of archaeological features within the project footprint is
likely to be low.
A “Chance Find Procedure” will however be incorporated within the project CESMP such that in the
unlikely event any items of archaeological significance are discovered, these can be appropriately managed
by archaeological experts and identified, recovered and preserved.
Specific management methods and mitigation measures
The following points detail the management methods and mitigation measures/actions identified in case of
previously unknown cultural heritage (e.g. archaeological findings) is encountered unexpectedly in the
Construction phase.
a) Should an archaeological and cultural property be found on the Project Site during land excavations,
all the construction activities will be stopped immediately. EPC Contractor HSE Manager shall be informed
immediately. EPC Contractor HSE Manager shall contact the Owner’s project team who in consequence
shall contact the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities.
b) Where artefacts or archaeological remains are encountered, the site will be clearly signed/delineated
with high visibility flagging to impede access and prevent any damage or loss of the artefacts which have
just been found. Species shall not be disturbed until a competent professional assessment is made and
remedial actions consistent with Bahrain laws and regulations are fulfilled.
c) Contractor crew to be informed during morning toolbox meeting about any suspected archaeological
finds to avoid disturbance.
d) Further construction activities will be conducted along with the instructions of the authorities.
Implementation of the authority’s decision concerning the management of the finding shall be strictly
followed.
e) Construction works shall be resumed only after permission is granted from the relevant local
authorities. Constructions and physical interventions will not be allowed on the protected and cultural assets.
Substantial repair, construction, installation, drilling, partial or complete demolition, burning, excavation or
similar works will be considered as construction and physical intervention.
f) Record keeping shall be done with the support of the appendix 1 – Chance find form and appendix 2 –
Chance find register.
g) Chain of custody instructions for movable finds shall be done as per the guidance of the Bahrain
authorities.
8 Removal of any archaeological artefacts from the siteby site workers is strictly prohibited.

22.13.1.1 Grievance Procedure
EPC Contractor shall establish a grievance mechanism designed to receive and facilitate resolution of
concerns and grievances on the Project’s environmental and social performance.
The mechanism will seek to resolve concerns promptly, using an understandable and transparent consultative
process that is culturally appropriate, readily accessible, at no cost, and without retribution to the party that
originated the issue or concern.
The steps to raise and follow a grievance is fully described in the document Grievance Management
Procedure AD2-C3-00-YDC-GGP-CON-00063.
The following is a summary of this procedure:
This Grievance Management Procedure is designed to facilitate the lodging, acceptance and closure of
grievances coming primarily from Affected Communities, but also from other interested stakeholders and
project workers.
Grievances may arise from local hiring, unplanned impacts and infrastructure damage as they relate to the
Project’s environmental and social commitments. The GMP is available to any party that wishes to
communicate a grievance to the EPC Contractor whether it be an individual, non-governmental organisation,
community based organisation, other community group, local or international employee. A grievance will be
considered genuine and evaluated if a party considers itself genuinely impacted due poor environmental and
social performance.
The GMP is available on a voluntary and non-excluding basis. It does not affect anyone’s rights to use the
Bahraini judiciary system in any way, nor does it replace the public mechanisms of grievance and conflict
resolution. However, EPC Contractor believes most grievances can be quickly resolved by discussing the
issues and agreeing mutually acceptable solutions in a less official setting.
EPC Contractor will assure the implementation of the Subcontractors’ own Grievance Procedures, which are
aligned with this procedure and are fully enforced. This is done by reviewing and approving their Grievance
Procedures, ensuring their teams in charge understand their responsibilities, and by ensuring that grievances
are being logged, followed-up and closed-out in a timely manner. EPC Contractor retains the right to
intervene if a Subcontractor has not closed-out any genuine grievances after the second attempt or within a
reasonable period of time.
Specific grievances in relation to labour or procurement contracts shall be followed up through the EPC
101/113
Contractor’s or Subcontractors’ Procurement or Human Resource Departments, as applicable.
Grievances will be handled through the HSE Department Manager of EPC Contractor and Subcontractors.
These teams will be trained prior to the start of the project and shall receive, centralise and process all
grievances for their area of responsibility. They will deliver grievances to the appropriate departments within
the EPC Contractor and/or Subcontractor organisations, implement systems to organise, track and document
all responses and deliver summary reports to management.
The HSE Manager will propose means to resolve grievances, monitor the Procedure, and hold regular
meetings to collect grievances in the field and provide feedback to communities. Grievances may also be
raised during formal stakeholder meetings which will be handled through this procedure.
EPC Contractor will inform the local communities, its workers and subcontractors’ workers about the
Grievance Mechanism and provide (on posters) contact details how people can launch a complaint via:
• The HSE Manager - verbally;

• Telephone;
• Email or
• Letter;
All contact details and means of submitting a complaint will be widely and regularly published, throughout
the duration of the project, through posters at key locations and verbally by EPC Contractor’s employees.
Contact Details
All stakeholders with internet access can contact EPC Contractor with a grievance or feedback through the
following contact information:

During the duration of the Project, the EPC Contractor’s HSE Department Office will be established where
individuals may lodge a grievance verbally, or in writing using the form in Appendix A. Also, grievance
boxes will be placed in the main gates in the Security Guard Offices. All Subcontractors shall place a
grievance box in their offices, as well.
Anonymous grievances are not expected to be common due to the community structure in the area.
Workforce grievances or feedback to be handled through anonymous locked drop boxes in worker
accommodation and canteens, or through a system designed by the EPC contractor and subcontractors.
102/113
Bulletin boards will be used to post responses to anonymous complaints as appropriate.
All forms will be in Arabic and English. For Subcontractors, forms should be in the language understood by
its workforce as well as Arabic and English. The HSE Manager of EPC Contractor and Subcontractors shall
have support from Public Relations Officers (PRO’s) for the translation of Arabic documents and/or for the
grievances conveyed verbally from the local community.
Grievance Handling and Resolution

Grievances should be handled according to the following steps:
a) The HSE Manager will learn as much as possible about the case, including:
• Who?
• What?
• Where?
• When?
• Why?
b) EPC Contractor shall acknowledge receipt of any grievance as soon as possible, but up to seven days from
the date it was submitted and shall inform the complainant about the timeframe in which a response can be
expected. For reasons of confidentiality and to protect the safety and security of EPC Contractor personnel,
the contact details of individual staff members will not be released to external parties / complainants.
c) The findings of all the investigations will be entered into the grievance file and used to determine
eligibility. If the Grievance is considered to be ineligible the HSE Manager will contact the complainant
within 3 working days and explain that the complaint was not recognised as eligible.
d) For all types of Grievances, the HSE Manager will listen attentively to the person while he/she expresses
his/her grievance. In many cases, simply listening with empathy helps to calm the situation.
e) During this first meeting if the grievance is resolved, the case is considered closed and it is registered as
such.
f) If a grievance is more complex, EPC Contractor and/or the Subcontractor shall conduct an investigation to
verify whether the grievance is genuine as related to project commitments. This is done in the presence of the
person or the representatives of the local community lodging the grievance. EPC Contractor will investigate
fully all grievances submitted, and will involve other departments, Subcontractors and senior management as
required in the process in order to fully understand the circumstances that led to the grievance being raised.
This should be performed in a timely manner to avoid delaying the resolution of a grievance. EPC Contractor
will aim to resolve any grievances within 30 days from the date that it was received. This timeframe can be
extended to 60 days for more complex grievances, if required.
g) The local authorities and/or representatives may be invited to attend the investigation if the grievance
requires their involvement.
h) The Government and Community Relations team will communicate and explain the grievance to the
appropriate person in EPC Contractor or in the Subcontractor organisation.
• Example, if the grievance involves one of the workers, they will contact the head of human resources
103/113
of his/her subcontractor, and also his/her direct supervisor, as well as the worker himself/herself. If the
complaint is environmental in nature it will be reviewed by an environmental professional within the team
and so on.
i) The HSE Manager will consult other departments to determine the practical corrective action(s) or
mitigation of the grievance.
• Nature of the corrective action;

• Time in which it must be implemented;
• Person responsible for implementation; and,
• Log information in the Grievance Registry.
j) Subcontractors ensuring compliance with construction related environmental and social commitments
shall:
• Consider proposed solutions with their construction team for agreement and execution;
• notify and discuss proposed corrective actions with EPC Contractor HSE Manager and Construction
Management and the party that raised the grievance within 7 days and agree an implementation schedule;
• Obtain written authorisation to proceed with the corrective actions, as needed, e.g. repair third party
infrastructure, etc; and,
• Execute corrective actions under supervision of EPC Contractor HSE Manager.
k) If the complainant accepts the corrective actions, they sign a letter of acceptance and the grievance is
closed subject to a 15 days monitoring period.
l) EPC Contractor and/or the Subcontractor shall implement the agreed actions/solutions.
m) If the proposed solution or executed solution is not accepted by the complainant, the grievance is elevated
to a Grievance Review Committee.
n) EPC Contractor and/or the Subcontractor HSE Managers will consider if improvement to procedures or
practices could reduce the probability of recurrence. EPC Contractor shall coordinate any changes to plans,
procedures and methods with the Subcontractors within contractual restrictions.
Grievance Review Committee (GRC)
The GRC will be set up by EPC Contractor to address complaints as a result of the project implementation.
The GRC will include the EPC Contractor HSE Manager, Public Relations Officer, other representatives
from EPC Contractor as needed, local authorities, Subcontractors representatives and at least two
representatives from local communities. A coordination of resolutions within the GRC will be the EPC
Contractor HSE Manager’s responsibility.
All grievances shall be dealt with on a case by case basis. However, all will require further discussions with
complainants and community members to mitigate perceptions that resolutions unfairly benefit EPC
Contractor and/or Subcontractor.
If attempts to resolve a grievance through the regular steps mentioned above do not result in an acceptable
grievance resolution, the grievance may be elevated to the Government authorities.
Documentation pertaining to an unresolved grievance will be given to the Government authority, who will
104/113
seek and give opinion about how to resolve the case and who will attempt to resolve the case through
conciliation.
As a last resort, aggrieved parties have a right to take legal action. This is a more formal rights-based
approach that shall only be taken if all other approaches have failed or when there are serious conflicts about
facts and data. The final decision will be taken by the arbitrator or courts based on compliance with laws,
policies, standards, rules, regulations, procedures, past agreements or common practice.
Grievance tracking
Once a verbal or written grievance is received, it will be screened for validity (e.g. to ensure that nothing is
blatantly false) and logged into a central grievance mechanism database. An extract of the database can be
found in Appendix B. Grievances shall be assigned a case number and records of communication /
consultation shall all be attached with the relevant entry and filed. The database shall be monitored regularly
for recurring grievances so that appropriate mitigation can be developed.
EPC Contractor anticipates that the following direct impact grievances could be categorised as follows:
• Possible impacts on marine life

• Possible impacts on fish and fisheries catch
• Job issues
• Third party injuries or conflicts
• Damages to infrastructure
• Loss of livestock (goats, camels)
• Damage and temporary interruption of access roads
• Road congestion
• Nuisance caused by noise or dust
• Unplanned use of land
• Environmental issues (soil and water contamination, erosion, damage to wildlife or vegetation,
hunting and fishing, improper right of way restoration, etc)
• Behaviour of personnel
• Community health and safety
• Cultural issues.
Categorising grievances will allow EPC Contractor to establish trends and adapt its own, and Subcontractor’s
management system where needed to improve environmental and social performance and reduce the overall
number of grievances resolved.
If a grievance is the result of a non-compliance to project environmental and social project commitments and
could result in harm to people or serious environmental impact, the HSE Manager will consult directly with
the Project Director and the Deputy Project Managers and may recommend a temporary suspension of an
activity. Any member of staff or Subcontractor has the right to refuse or stop work that is unsafe.
It is voluntary for the individual making the grievance to provide personal information.
Should EPC Contractor receive a grievance that is not related to Al-Dur II IWPP but with regard to the
neighbor sites around the project, the complainant will be advised with regard to what institution they shall
submit their grievance. These grievances will not be tracked.
Grievances Outside of the EPC Contractor Grievance Procedure
105/113
Following best practice, all grievances and claims from local communities should be accepted and no
judgment made prior to investigation, even if complaints are minor. However, several types of grievances
deserve special consideration and possible redirection to other grievance resolutions channels, such as:
a) Complaints clearly not related to the Project: It is sometimes difficult to determine which issues are
related to the project and which are not. If in doubt, employees designated to receive grievances should
accept the complaint and assess its legitimacy. Making upfront agreements with communities as to which
types of claims are and are not project-related will help avoid misunderstandings in individual cases.
b) Complaints constituting criminal activity and violence: In these cases, complainants should be
referred to the formal justice system.
c) Commercial disputes (i.e. subcontractor not paying to third parties): Commercial matters shall be
stipulated for in contractual agreements and issues shall be resolved through a variety of commercial dispute
resolution mechanisms or civil courts.
d) Issues related to Governmental policy and Government institutions: It is not uncommon for
communities to use EPC Contractor grievance mechanisms to bring complaints related to aspects of project
implementation that are a responsibility of, and implemented by, public institutions and their officials—for
example, issues related to the resettlement process handled by local governments for the project needs. The
private sector is not obliged to address such complaints. Communicating clearly to local communities about
the role, responsibilities, and limitations of the EPC Contractor Grievance Mechanism is a must, but it may
not suffice in practice. Governments may not have enough capacity (either resources or processes) to handle
grievances, or they may be inaccessible to affected communities. At a minimum, the EPC Contractor shall
decide to pass the grievances to authorities and let the communities know how to follow up.
Grievance Procedure for Workers
In parallel to the Grievance Mechanism for external individuals and communities, EPC Contractor will
ensure that a mechanism is in place to manage the grievances raised by the project workers (including, but
not limited to, reporting of HSE issues to the EPC Contractor management) that is in line with both Bahraini
legislation as well as IFC Peformance Standard 2, Labour and Working Conditions.
Grievances from the EPC Contractor-employed workers working on the construction site will be managed
directly by HSE Manager in coordination between the Public Relations Officer and the Human Resources
Manager.
At the same time, grievances from workers employed directly or indirectly by subcontractors will be
managed by each responsible party, the overall performance of which will be reported to EPC Contractor
Management on a regular basis.
The principles underlying the Grievance Mechanism for subcontractor-employed workers are the same as the
ones for external parties/stakeholders. In addition, workers will be guaranteed that the use of the grievance
mechanism will not affect in any way their retribution or working rights.
The grievance mechanism for workers will follow the same steps, as outlined in this Grievance Management
Procedure in accordance with Bahraini Labour Law and will be the responsibility of subcontractors’ Human
Resources Departments, including:
• Disclosure of the Grievance Procedure for workers.

• Receiving and recording worker-related grievances.
106/113
• Assessment and investigation of such grievances.
• Developing Resolution and Response to the complainant.
• Regular reporting to EPC Contractor.
• Close out of the complaint.
Worker grievances should be kept as confidential as possible, particularly in cases of alleged bullying,
harassment or whistleblowing.
Workers raising a grievance in good faith shall not be subject to any form of retaliation. Examples of such
possible grievances or concerns include possible violations of policies, rules, or legal requirements relating
to Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Social issues, and responsible operations.
