manner end at the correct temperature. The changing of do thing or the storage of equipment and tools
will not be allowed in the canteen. Food waste will be disposed of as soon as possible. All personnel
should change their clothing and wash themselves before taking meals particularly when working in
environmental conditions, which have exposed them to bacteria and harmful substances.

VIII. SAFETY PROCEDURES

A.Permit to Work - The permit to work system ensures that the potentially hazardous elements of an
operation have been considered, the relevant parties Informed, and action taken to ensure that hazards and
associated risks are reduced as far as reasonably practicable.

Some of the operations requiring a permit to work are as follows:

- Hot Works

- Electrical (Use Working)

- Confined Space

- Use of Hazardous Substances

Permit to work systems and procedures constitute the most formal method of ensuring safe working practices
and safe systems of work on site.

The HSE Manager / HSE Engineer will ultimately be responsible for the permit to work procedure on site, and
shall ensure that all the hazardous circumstances have been checked with the Consultant’s HSE Manager/HSE
Engineer before commencing the work.

The HSE Manager / HSE Engineer must ensure that either a Method Statement or Risk Assessment accompany
the permit before been issued.

When carrying out works under a permit to work system, all personnel must be given specific instruction on the
relevant risks and hazards, precautions and emergency procedures that need to be taken during the works.

14
 Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.
A competent and suitably experienced Supervisor from the Contractor must oversee all work and associated
activities.

B. Lone Working - Out of hours working Is defined as ‘any work undertaken outside of the working day ‘whether
of a temporary or permanent nature. Out of hours working falls into three categories:

-Completion of work in progress which would normally be completed during the working day.

-Work specifically requested to be accomplished out of hours on a working day.

-Work specifically requested to be done on a nonworking day whenever possible.

If lone working is required out of hours ie. power floating, a safe method of working and emergency
communication must be set up and agreed with the Contractor beforehand.

Method Statements containing emergency procedures and Supervision will be provided to DAH and approved,
before permission for any out of hours working will be given.

Appropriate experienced supervision will be available to advise and control the work especially regarding access
and safety issues.

Before any lone working Is undertaken a risk assessment will be carried out identifying the hazards of the work,
assess the risks involved and devise and implement safe working arrangements to ensure that the risks are
either eliminated or adequately controlled, Lone workers will have full knowledge of the hazards and risks to
which they are being exposed.

C. Electrical Safety - The Project Manager, Site Manager and HSE Manager / Engineer are responsible for
ensuring that a safe system of work k implemented, monitored, and where necessary conveyed to the
Consultant to the workforce in respect to electrical safety on sites. Records on such
conveyance either via Tool Box Talk or documented Risk Assessments are to be retained in the Project HSE File.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) will be undertaken on all electrical equipment on a regular basis not exceeding
6 months. Labels will be applied to the relevant items and records retained it must demonstrate that all
electrical appliances brought onto the sites are fit for purpose, in good
repair and pose no significant risks to the users and others.

Equipment will therefore will be inspected and maintained on a regular basis I.e. every six months or when
electrical equipment is taken off site or returned to an independent hire company. it must be Inspected, any
faults recorded and suitable tagging information applied where necessary for re Issue. Records of maintenance
and repairs will be kept.

Installation, modification, or repairs of any electrical equipment in the offices or on sites will only be carried out
by a qualified competent individual and such work must comply with the requirements of applicable industry
standards and local legislation

All equipment must be treated as ‘live’ unless isolated and written confirmation is received to the contrary. A
permit to work system will be implemented.

15
 Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.
Where possible, only 110V equipment will be used to reduce the risk at source and help ensure the protection of
all workers on site. However, it may become necessary where special Items of equipment are installed that 240V
tools may need to be used, It is therefore Imperative that the HSE Manager/HSE Engineer is made aware of the
situation prior to work commencing and a safe system of work agreed. All 240-volt supply cables will be of the
armored type and fitted with RCDs. A Permit to Work System may be required If the Isolation cannot be achieved
when working on Individual circuits.

D. Electrical Lighting - Electrical installations will only be installed altered or maintained by competent individuals.

General access lighting must be supplied to any area devoid of natural light, to supplement poor lighting or for
after dark working.

The Project Manager / Site Manager will ensure that adequate and suitable lighting ¡s provided for safe access
and egress and that this is considered as part of the HSE plan, where necessary temporary emergency lighting will
also be considered.

General purpose lighting operating at 110v consisting of either guarded festoon cables or guarded Fluorescent
tube lighting will be fixed securely at high level. Moving of lights as work progresses will only be carried out by a
competent person.

In addition to general purpose lighting, the Project Manager will ensure that adequate task lighting is provided.
The provision of basic lighting will be confirmed at the per-start meeting by the Project Manager.

Site floodlighting and office lighting may be provided at 240v but must be installed in compliance with local
legislation and industry best practice.

Electrical power and lights to temporary accommodation In excess of >100v must be interrupted by a suitably
rated residual current device (RCD or ELCS).

Lighting provided In the vicinity of a flammable atmosphere will be speedily protected to avoid any fire or
explosion risks e.g. flameproof.

Low voltage lighting unless specially protected is not suitable for such purposes, it must be “intrinsically safe’. The
advice of the HSE Manager/ Engineer should be sought in all such cases.

E. Highly Flammable Liquids - The Project Site Manager will ensure there Is planned storage facility provided and
maintained, and that all highly flammable liquids are kept in these storage facilities until required.

There will be fire resistant absorbent material Is available to soak up any spillages of highly flammable liquids and
that this material Is Immediately disposed of safely after use.

16
 Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.
There will be a person designated to check any fire-fighting equipment, storage facilities, signs notices, containers,
etc. on weekly intervals and that action is taken to rectify any defects noted.

F. Working at Height’s - The Work at Height Regulations requires the risks of a fail to be prevented wherever the fall
is liable to cause injury. This applies to work at any height and therefore the 2-meter rule no longer applies.

Ladders and Stepladders - Ladders will only be used in situations where It Is impractical to erect a safer means of
access e.g. scaffolding or mobile scaffold towers etc. Where ladders are used, they will be checked of any defects
prior to use, records of any inspections will be kept by the

HSE department and copies made available to DAH upon request Ladders will not be used when:

- If damaged or defective.

- If it is not secured properly or has an unstable base.

- Where the work entails the use of both hands (except in certain circumstances).

- For the carriage of tools or materials where there is a risk of falls of persons

- Where there is a risk of damage to the ladder.

- Where the task to be carried out would require the operative to reach outside the line of the ladder which may
cause a risk of falls.

Made up ladders of screwed o’ nailed together components are strictly forbidden. Ladders must not be painted.
Ladders will be stored In a manner such that damage will not occur preferably in a dry area and supported In the
middle if over 6 meters in length.

G. Plant and Equipment - Electrically Operated Hand Held Tools and Equipment.

Ensure that all electrically operated hand tools will be Inspected and tested before Issue and will be clearly marked
with an identity number and due date of the next Inspection, Thereafter, electrical tests and Inspections will be
carried out every six months on all frequently used hand held electrical tools.

All operatives will be instructed or trained in the use of hand tools and the safe tag system during the first day of
induction. Further Instruction must be given during frequent toolbox talks, or as and when required.

All tools and equipment will be returned to a secure store at the end of each working day, and will be visually
inspected before re-use. Site supervisors will, as a part of their normal duties, inspect tools and equipment and
remove from use any faulty equipment found on site.

17
 Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.
The HSE Manager/ Engineer reserves the right to confiscate any equipment deemed unfit for purpose where a
significant risk to the health of any employee is evident.

H. Plant Operators - The HSE Manager / HSE Engineer must obtain proof of competence of any person employed to
operate plant equipment on behalf of the appointed Contractor.

No person can operate an Item of plant unless such proof has been obtained, and that they are authorized. Must
provide certification to Consultant for all plant operators engaged on the Project.

No person under the age of 18 years will operate any plant on site. The Contractor will select a competent person
to complete weekly checks on all plant vehicles on site, and ensure an inspection register Is maintained and copied
to DAH PMC upon request.

I. Concrete Pumps - Operatives (other than the driver/operator) working with concrete pumps must be adequately
trained in the handling and placing techniques of the boom and concrete operations.

Pumps will only be operated by trained and competent persons over 21 years of age. Pumps will be properly
maintained and checked before use.

An effective system of communication between the pump operator and the placing gang will be established.
Where any part of the boom or placement hose is out of sight of the pump operator, a competent flagman will be
used.

Concrete pumping units must be sited to allow safe access for truck mixers and care must be taken to ensure that
there Is no danger of a placement boom approaching too close to overhead electric cables or other obstructions.
Units will stand on firm level ground and outriggers will be extended to ensure stability.

Pump lines will be laid to form as little hazard or hindrance as possible and care will be taken to avoid contact
with, or close approach to overhead lines. Sharp bends and kinks in the hose are not permitted. All couplings,
adapters, nuts, and bolts including fixing pins, must be checked for security before pumping starts. Where it is
necessary to secure pump lines against movement, scaffolds or formwork WIU. NOT be used as an anchor unless
designed for the purpose.

All covers or acoustic panels on the pump unit will be closed when the pump is in operation.

The Contractor must provide PPE to all operatives engaged within the pumping of concrete. PPE must be of good
standard and must be worn/ used where a possibility of Injury exists. Pump receiving hoppers will be guarded
always during use. Pump line pressure gauges must be checked at the beginning of each shift. Access to the pump
by concrete vehicles Is to be kept clear always.

18

When cleaning out pump lines1 care must be taken so that material is ejected in safe direction and that
unnecessary danger Is not caused. If a bail is used for cleaning, a cage will be installed to contain the ejected ball.
Compressed air will not be used to clean the pump lines or to release blockages.

Slurry and washing down water will be kept away from the pump in a bunded area and not discharged into water
courses and sewers. The “cleaning out” procedure will be carried out by the pump operator only and strictly In
accordance with the approved method statement.

The pump unit will normally be cleaned with the machine running and the discharge outlet switch in position. If,
at any time, the discharge outlet must be removed, the pump must be switched off. Serious accidents have
occurred when the outlet has been removed for cleaning with the machine running and the operative’s hands
have been trapped by the gate valve. Only persons trained in the procedures involved will carry out these cleaning
operations.

XII. VEHICLE / EQUIPMENT SAFETY

The vehicle shall have the adequate capacity for the required duty and have been purposely designed for the
service as well as maintained in safe working order. As a minimum, the vehicle shall be equipped with the following
features;

 Left and right side view mirrors

 Rear window defogger
 Dual airbags
 Anti-locking braking systems (ABS)
 Side impact bars

The vehicle such as trailers, cranes, front end loaders, etc., include;

 Overhead protection canopy

 Automatically switch back-up alarm with intermittently sounding tone
 A horn, which is audible above engine noise
 Convex type rear view mirror
 Parking brakes
 Hearing protection & PPE required such as safety shoes, uniforms, hard hats

Each vehicle shall be equipped with fire extinguishers properly rated

A first Aid kit shall be carried in each vehicle

The drivers as well as the passengers must wear seat belt during the journey

For any motor vehicle parked on the road in the project sites, engine should be put off and ignition keys kept
inside the motor vehicles so that in an emergency the motor vehicle can be evacuated easily.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS;

All laws and regulation concerning driving must be followed, including;

 Driver must have valid Saudi license

 All traffic regulations must be obeyed.
 Motor vehicles must be maintained in road worthy conditions
 Lights must be used as required
 Following alcohol/drug prohibition
 Must have appropriate vehicle insurance
26
 Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.
 Motor vehicles must be parked only at the assigned places and applied brakes

XIII. DEFENSIVE DRIVING

The most important part of defensive driving is anticipating the actions of other drivers. Know how to react
(responsibly) to other drivers and changes in the driving environment. Watch for the pedestrian and bicyclists and
monitor yourself-your physical and mental condition affects how you drive.

Rear-ending other vehicles is a leading cause of vehicle accidents. Maintained a three-second following distance
to give you time to react and stop safely. Increase your following distance during adverse weather and when you
drive larger or heavier vehicles.

AGGRESSIVE DRIVING

Some drivers will do almost anything to get to their destination- tailgating, weaving in traffic, ignoring traffic lights
and the rights of other drivers. It’s called aggressive driving. It’s dangerous and causes an increasing number of
traffic crashes. Aggressive driving is different than media-inspired road rage, in which the driver uses a vehicle as
a weapon or physically assaults another driver. Road rage is a criminal offense. Plan ahead; allow plenty of time
to reach your destination, check traffic conditions before you leave.

DISTRACTED DRIVING

Now, everyone seems to be talking or texting on cellphones while they’re driving-but driving is not the time for
multi-tasking. You make more than 200 traffic related decisions per mile when you’re driving so it’s critical to
focus only on driving. Distracted driving is a factor in 25-30 percent of motor vehicle crashes. Driving should be
your only job when you’re behind the wheel.

Pull off the road when you need to talk, text, or read e-mail on your cell phone. The crash risk with a hand-free
model is just as great as using a hand-held phone.

DROWSY DRIVING

 Due to inadequate sleep

 Health problem and medication
 Fatigue and Mental stress
 Stressful road condition
 Shift work and extended duty

A Project specific Traffic Management Plan shall be created. The Plan will identify key safety issues, a pictorial
representation of the work location is preferred which can be readily displayed on site.

The Plan will include but not be limited to;

27
 Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.
- Site Layout

- Access and Egress Routes

- Direction of Traffic

- Mandatory Speed Limits (2Okph maximum)

- Loading and Unloading Areas

- Pedestrian Routes

- Parking Arrangements

The following control measures are mandatory and will be documented in the Plan,

- Reversing of all vehicles must be under the supervision of a nominated flagman or vehicle marshal.

- The density of vehicle movement must be planned to ensure that the capacity of the facility is not exceeded.

- Ground conditions and standards of house-keeping must be maintained such that safe access to vehicles can
be achieved.

- All non-essential personnel will be excluded from work areas where vehicles are being maneuvered or
worked upon.

- As far as is practicable, vehicles should be parked so that to exit the work area the first movement is forward.
This extends to private vehicles when parked.

28
 Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.

XIV. OTHER CONTROLS

Manual Handling - Where practicable, the Contractor will ensure that designated loading/unloading areas will
be made available on site and clearly identified.

Where uneven ground conditions prevail, efforts will be made to make good or relocate to an alternative
location. Good standards of housekeeping will be maintained always.

A hierarchy of risk mitigation control measures will be used for all manual handling operations.

As far as is practicable all loads will be minimized. Materials tri excess of 25kg will not be lifted by a single
individual Load sharing, e.g. tandem, group lifts will be encouraged.

Will ensure a suitable Risk Assessment covers all Manual Handling activities and provide onsite training In
respect to these tasks Tool Box Talks will cover Manual Handling operations and copies of such talks retained on
site for reference.

Health Hazards - Control of Substances Hazardous to Health

Create a library for all chemicals on site to eliminate, substitute or effectively control risks arising from the
handling, storage, use and dì5posaI of substances hazardous to heath. Prepare suitable COSHH Assessments
including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that identify the risks of such substances.

Where a hazardous substance can be substituted for a less hazardous substance, a less hazardous alternative
will be selected.

The Contractors Site Management are responsible for all COSHH matters including the validity of risk
assessments, providing suitable PPE, monitoring control measures and health surveillance where necessary.

All personnel should receive sufficient instruction, information and training in the identified method of work
with a specified hazardous substance.

Dust Control - The Site Manager / HSE Manager will the hazards associated with air pollution, in the form of
dust, gas or smoke, and the controls needed to keep these to a minimum always. Dust will be controlled at
source to prevent the spread of contamination around the area of the Project by dampening down the problem
areas or avoiding the use of plant and machinery in the areas concerned, where possible. When dampening
down methods will be used, rio run off into local water courses or sewers will be permitted

No burning of waste materials will be permitted on the Project. Waste materials will be disposed of using skips
placed as near as possible to the working areas.

The Contractor will be responsible for implementing the following dust measures:

- Consider other forms of working practices to reduce dust levels.

29
Saudi Readymix Concrete Co.
- Risk Assessments where excessive amounts of dust are generated.
- Provide training and Instruction for all site personnel I.e. toolbox talks, demonstrations.
- Monitoring of dust levels in the working areas may be required.
- Prevent exhaust from entering the working area.
- Dampening of floors prior to sweeping up operations.

When using compressed air lance for removal of dust particles and tying wire from formwork the debris must be
collected at one point and not allowed to be blown and dissipated into the air.

Where possible it should be physically removed by hand into buckets and then into containers.

Confined Space - A confined space can be defined as any space which has limited means of access and egress,
restricted natural ventilation, lack of oxygen and is not intended for continual occupancy by persons, e.g.
storage tanks, pits, trenches, ducts, some areas, or rooms within buildings, particularly below ground level,
sewers, tunnels, boilers, etc.

Hazards associated with confined spaces fall into 2 categories:

Conditions which exist in the confined space before work takes place, e.g. lack of oxygen, toxic chemicals,
explosive gases, contamination soil etc.

Hazards which can be introduced into the confined space by the work to be carried out or produced by others
working nearby e.g. fumes from welding operations, unsuitable electrical equipment, application and use of
certain materials etc. Testing of the atmosphere must take place if there Is any doubt.

Structural Safety – in conformance to the standard all component of the plant shall be in accordance to Safe
Practices.

 Silo platforms shall be protected with rail guarding system and toe board.
 Landing platform of all laydown containers shall have safety safe access ladder, protected with rail guarding
system and toe board.
 Fully bolting system in all connecting part, base structure, and others.
 Full weld on all connecting part and no tacking is allowed.
 Vibrating part shall be properly secure either full bot system of full weld, no testing on part shall be done
unless requirements are made.
