1. Introduction

‘The company’ operates an integrated management system (IMS) for Quality, Health, Safety
and the Environment. This system is fully compliant with International Standards.

At the top of this system is a policy statement (see Appendix A) that is issued and signed by
the company Chief Executive Officer and communicates our commitment to all issues
relating to these critical areas.

The company IMS is the platform upon which the company bases all its operations.

This site specific safety plan (SSSP) has been prepared as ‘Particular Contract Specification-
and in accordance with the company’s IMS and refers to company policies and procedures
that are relevant to this project.

Appendix B shows the companies procedures that are relevant to this safety plan.

2) Site Induction

SSSP-634 3 of 26
The company will ensure that all employees and contractors and those involved in our activities
and operations will be inducted at site prior to commencing work. This site induction is mandatory.
Specific training for all employees and others forms part of our general health and safety training
program as outlines in section eleven (11) of the safety plan.

Site induction will be primarily related to:

o Emergency evacuation and fire safety procedures


o First Aid procedure and location
o Information of significant hazards
o Accident and Incident Reporting Procedure

All induction training will be recorded and be specific for each individual site.

8. Risk Assessment / Job Task Analysis

Risk assessments will be carried out in accordance with company procedure and form. See
Appendix B.

9. Hazard Correction

SSSP-634 11 of 26
Company risk assessment will identify typical project hazards; identify the risk level
(classification) and the corresponding corrective measures.

When a new hazard is identified on site, work is stopped immediately and the following
steps are taken:

o Work is stopped and personnel are moved away from hazardous area.
o Where possible the hazard is removed immediately.
o If the hazard cannot be removed then risks are identified and risk control measures
are put in place. Work will not be recommenced until a competent person has
identified that risks have been reduced to as low as reasonably practicable.

SSSP-634 22 of 26
Appendix B – Risk Assessment/Risk Management/Procedures

Contractors maintains procedures for the ongoing identification of health, safety and environmental
aspects or hazards, the assessment of risks, and the implementation of control measures. The
procedures shall cover:

o Routine and non-routine activities of personnel having access to the workplace (including
subcontractors and visitors)

o Abnormal and/or emergency conditions.

o Facilities at the workplace, whether provided by the Company or others.

The methodology for hazard identification and risk assessment must be defined with respect to its
scope, nature and timing to ensure it is proactive rather than reactive, it must:
o Be documented

o Provide for the classification of risks and identification of those that are to be eliminated or
controlled.

o Be consistent with operating experiences and the capabilities of risk control measures
employed.

o Provide input into the determination of facility requirements, identification of training needs
and/or development of operational controls.

o Provide for the monitoring of required actions to ensure both the effectiveness and
timeliness of their implementation.

Results of risk assessments and the effects for control measures must be considered when setting
HSE objectives and targets. All such information must be documented and kept up-to-date.

Prevention and Risk Control

General principles of risk reduction methodologies must be used in the management of health,
safety and environmental hazards. These principles include:

o Avoiding risks

o Evaluating the risk that cannot be avoided.

o Combating the risk at source.

o Adapting to technical progress.

o Replacing the dangerous by the non-dangerous or the less dangerous.

o Developing a coherent overall prevention policy that covers technology, organization of


work, working conditions and working environment.

o Giving collective protective measures priority over individual protective measures.

SSSP-634 23 of 26
o Giving appropriate training and instructions to employees.

Where the need for additional control measures is identified, a systematic review of all control
options must be carried out, with the objective of controlling the risk to As Low As Reasonably
Practicable (ALARP). The control measures must be based on hierarchy principles as follows:

o Elimination of the hazard.

o Substitution.

o Engineering controls (plant & equipment)

o Administrative controls which include procedural, methodological and supervisory controls.

o Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Where the risk is unacceptable, control options that can be implemented immediately must be
addressed first, e.g., eliminate by stopping the activity or introduce appropriate personal protective
equipment while alternative or engineering solutions are investigated.

If improvements in engineering controls are considered appropriate but it is not practicable to


implement these measures immediately, a programme of work must be drawn up that takes into
account plans for future implementation. Such a programme will demonstrate a commitment to
continual improvement.

Operational Control

All Company activities that have significant health, safety and environmental risks, as identified
through risk assessments, must be planned and controlled. The company shall establish and
maintain operational control procedures that would specify how relevant activities would be
conducted. Such procedures will include operating criteria and actions to be taken if these
operating criteria are exceeded.

Procedures must also be established for workplace design, process, installations, machinery,
operating procedures and work organization. Where applicable, emphasis must be given to
integration of Company procedures with operational procedures of customers.

Operational Control is dependent on the activities being undertaken and their associated risk.
Controls may be in the form of specified methods for performing tasks, mechanical control
systems, administrative controls, maintenance checks, alarms, use of protective equipment, etc.

Operational control procedures must be communicated to all relevant parties including suppliers
and contractors.

Operational control procedures must take into consideration future changes in operational
activities that may also modify its HSE risks.

Appendix C – Accident Investigation

The Company will investigate all accidents, incidents and near misses the following is a clarification
of Accident, Incident, Near Miss and Occupational Illness.

i An Accident is an unwanted event or series of events that has lead to loss


of some kind – e.g. injury, illness (tie off work), asset damage.

ii An Incident is an unwanted event or series of events that has the


potential lead to loss of some kind.

iii A Near Miss is an incident which under different circumstances could


have caused an accident – e.g. tripping and slipping without injury.

4) Occupational Illness is any work-related abnormal condition or disorder,


other than an injury, which is mainly caused by exposure to environmental
factors associated with the employment. It includes acute and chronic
illness or diseases that may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion
or direct contact.

The company provides an accident reporting system which is explained to


all employees and contractor during induction.

When an accident, near miss or incident is discovered it is immediately


reported to the supervisor who will inform the relevant emergency services,
i.e. first aid, fire, police and also senior management. The company will
vigorously investigate all incidents, accidents and near miss to look for the
rood cause and to ensure corrective actions are put in place and to learn
from any mistakes, human error or valuations.
