equipment near Umm Qasr and the Southern Oil Fields. In addition, there may be similar activities taking place in areas such as airports and rail terminals which also contain a similar level of risk. The foremost risk associated with transportation support services is a heightened potential for incidents involving transport vehicles; therefore, operations regarding any vehicular resource will be conducted in full compliance with HASP driving policies including the following:
All

TRI-HAM and subcontractor drivers and vehicles will comply with the PMs requirements regarding vehicle safety management procedures. TRI-HAM staff will only use TH fleet vehicles when conducting business on behalf of the company. The fuel level on all site personnel transport vehicles are to remain above 50% of tank capacity at all times Mandatory use of seatbelts by all personnel, traveling in any vehicle personal or otherwise, at all times. All worksite vehicles will use hazards or orange strobes when traveling onsite. All vehicle operators will hold the correct license or certification for the vehicle they are operating. Drivers of vehicles permanently based on site will complete a daily vehicle safety check sheet. Operators of immobilized vehicles will immediately contact TH Ops to arrange a quick recovery. Where additional controls are required to reduce the risk of land transport accidents and incidents, OOG shipments for example, the DGFIP Hazards and Effects register will be used to conduct risk assessments. Other hazardous activities to be conducted under the TRI-HAM Transportation Support Services contract and covered in HSSE-D001 TRI-HAM Health and Safety Plan are as follows: Work regarding exposure to hazards such as chemicals, extreme weather or electricity. Mechanical Lifting Operations (forklifts and other such mechanical devices). Manual Lifting and Lifting and Twisting Loading/Off Loading in active construction zones Material Handling requiring traffic pattern alterations (vehicular and/or pedestrian). Loading and Unloading operations near bodies of water A constant, thorough exchange of information between TRI-HAM and the Project Manager should be sufficient enough to ensure that all organizational undertakings are managed in such a way as to ensure that all TRI-HAM and subcontractor personnel are made aware of the hazards involved. Specific procedures have been developed pertaining to all aspects of material handling and vehicle operations. These will be discussed with the PM and the SSRs as necessary so that all attainable industry and company safety standards have been met and will be adhered to and that TRI-HAM, through the careful selection and auditing of our sub-contractors, will ensure that they do the same.
