2.3
PRE-QUALIFICATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS
Exposure to international projects has led to believe that subcontractors and the local work
force vary greatly in their experience and approach towards safety and health control in
plant construction.
The performance of subcontractors and locally hired direct workers has a significant impact
on the success of our HSES control program, project quality and schedule. Hence, it is
prerequisite to conduct a prior qualification assessment for major construction sites for the
safety performance of any potential subcontractor.
The following features are noted in the qualification of subcontractors:
Safety Organization;
Their own Safety, Health Environment and Security program;
Availability and qualification of safety and other key personnel
Past safety records and commitment to promote and maintain their HSES program.
The quality, condition and availability of equipment and tools.
* NOTE: Detailed HSES requirements for Subcontractors are to be included in

each contract inquiry package.

identification prior to being issued for site use.
A master record of all inspections must be maintained by the subcontractor's Safety
Officer/Supervisor.
Each grinding machine must be fitted with the correct guard covering and
protecting two thirds of its rotating wheel/disc.
All portable hand-held grinding machines must be fitted with a handle (supplied by
the manufacturer).
All grinding machine operators must be adequately trained in their safe use.

Abrasive wheels (stones) fitted to pedestal type machines must be kept in

good condition by a "Competent Person". Chipped or damaged stones must
be removed and destroyed.
Abrasive stones (normally used for sharpening tools) must only be used on the
front edge, not the sides. This common bad practice reduces the thickness of
the rotating stone and increases the risk of it breaking-up/shattering.
Abrasive stones must be "trued-up" with a proper "dressing" tool.
The tool-rest platforms must be set as close as possible to the rotating stone
and adjusted as necessary as the stone wears.
All pedestal/static grinding machines must be fitted with an unbreakable
glass/plastic screen, which can be adjusted, to protect against flying
objects/particles.
The wearing of eye protection is mandatory.
Ensure a signboard for appropriate PPE is posted (eye/face protection, dustmasks and ear-plugs).
Grinding machines must not be left running when not in use.
Areas surrounding pedestal/static grinding machines shall be kept clear of
obstructions, tripping hazards, etc., and swept-up daily.
Adequate ventilation/extraction will also need to be considered in high
activity work zones.
CHECK-LIST (GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS)
Conduct regular inspections/spot-checks to ensure that only trained workers
are operating grinding machines.
Make sure that operators are switching-off the electrical power
supply/removing the plug before replacing grinding wheels/discs.
Check that operators are properly attired and that they don't have loose or
baggy clothing that may become entangled while operating their machines.
Check PPE compliance of the operator and those working in close proximity. If
the area is congested portable screens/shields should be considered.
Ensure that operators are using the correct tool for changing grinding discs on
portable machines, as supplied by the manufacturer Not a hammer and chisel
Make sure that portable machines are not being stored in site tool-boxes that
are also being used to store other heavy-duty tools and equipment, where
they could be subject to damage.
Inspect electrical connections, make sure they are not loose. Also check the
supply cable and any extension leads for wear/damage.
Observe operator handling, make sure they are not using the electric cable to
lower portable machines from work-platforms/scaffoldings, etc. Also check
that operators are allowing revolving discs to stop moving before laying them
down.
Check whether machines are excessively vibrating due to worn bearing
conditions.
