Safety manager is responsible and updating of documents and there are risks inherent in all there
are risks inherent in all construction activities. All risks cannot be eliminated. Those risks that cannot
be eliminated shall be mitigated and managed down to acceptable levels. Risk Assessment allows
identifying the hazards at the workplace and implementing effective risk control measures to goal of
“Incident Free” Work Site. The aim of the risk assessment process is to remove a hazard or reduce
the level of its risk to a tolerable level by implementing control measures, as necessary.
2.6.2 Method Statement and Risk Assessment Analysis and Safe sequence of Work.
All SUBCONTRACTORS shall prepare and submit to CGC for review a method statement
per activity to be performed prior to commence of the works. This method statement must
describe in detail how each activity is going to be carried out as well as what tools, equipment
and machinery is going to be used.
Along with that method statement, a general Risk Assessment and Safe Sequence of Work
shall be performed. In a daily basis foremen and supervisors and SO will do a specific safe
sequence of work and Risk Assessment which they describe the activity to be done and the
preventive measures to be taken (See Appendix 11.Risk Assessment Analysis and Safe
Sequence of Work Template).
This Risk Assessment and Safe Sequence of Work shall be explained to the crew before
starting activities. Sign Register (foremen/workers) will be kept in the same Safe Sequence of
work with RA. The Risk assessment Analysis is a further opportunity to re-visit the
concerned subject to see if anything had been missed from the current risk assessment or to
ascertain if there have been any material changes to the conditions since the current risk
assessment was completed. This RA is a process to identify the hazards of coming activities.
Upon the basis of the method statement, which will have split each activity step by step
identifying its potential hazards, the RA will identify and establish the measures to be taken in
order to eliminate or control those risks and hazards so as to take them to ALARP level.
SUBCONTRACTOR will not start work until the site has been inspected by CGC to ensure
that it is safe to start work and that all requirements contained in the RA Analysis have been
complied with.
Some special activities where the hazard or particular conditions of the workplace
recommend its application shall be subject to a Safe Work Permit.
The works are being performed in RC specified Safe Work Permit area/s (Construction
Permitted Area), will be required a work permit for any work. The Work Permit /STARRT card
must be issued daily by CGC prior to work each day.
CGC shall ascertain, in advance, whether any work is in a designated Safe Work Permit
area.
Supervisory personnel or other qualified staff must always be present at the work site while
any work is progress.
The work area designated for the project shall be controlled by CGC Permit to Work
The work permit is a way to ensure that activities have been planned and organized in
advance to establish the necessary safety measures to ensure the best conditions to perform
the activity in order to eliminate risks to ALARP(As Low As Reasonably Practicable) levels.
In order to establish the necessary safety measures there shall previously been identify and
analyzed the risks of the works. Therefore work permits shall always go together with the job
safety analysis for this activity that will be further explained in Section “Risk Assessment
Analysis”.
These work permits will be obligatory for certain high risks construction activities no matter
what area the works are being performed in, being the following:
- Excavation activities.
- Electrical work.
- Road closure
- Line Breaks
- Elevated work…etc
All the permits/STARRT CARD are issued for a certain period of validity and new permits
shall be issued or validity period shall be extended if the work is not completed in this period.
CGC reserves the right to withdraw work permits/STARRT CARD without prior notice for
ES&H reasons. Under these circumstances, works will be stopped immediately, machinery
will be disconnected and all personnel will be evacuated from said area, if necessary.
Workers who do not observe safety regulations may be requested by their companies to
leave the worksite.
Whenever the works are being performed in RC specified Safe Work Permit area/s, levels of
Safe Work Permits are listed below:
Level I
Jobs determined to be in Level I would not require a Safe Work Permit. CGC is encouraged
to use his own permitting systems. Typically Work under this level would be very specific to a
continuous or long term operation that has its own specific set of safety requirements. These
requirements are expected to be well communicated and understood by a work group familiar
and experienced with the specified task. These tasks would also be isolated from other Work
activities which could impose additional hazards.
Conditions:
• No operating process Units in the affected area
• No other CGC or disciplines working in the affected area
Level II
For jobs under the Level II, CGC will issue the Safe Work Permits/STARRT CARD with RC
providing the signatory authority. These permits can be for more than a daily time period but
not to exceed one week. General Safe Work Permits/STARRT CARD under this level will be
for designated boundary areas as approved by RC. Typically these would be Tank Farms,
specified structures or other main process components such as furnaces, compressors etc.
Level III
For all activity there is specific permits STARRT card influenced by the immediate hazards in
the area and which the worker is exposed. These permits, STARRT will almost always be daily
and specific to a discipline or even crew.
2.6.4 Lock Out and Tag Out Systems
Lock Out and Tag Out system will be used as additional requirement of Safe Work Permit to
avoid workers being injured while working on equipment electrical systems or live systems.
The detailed procedures hazardous energy (LOCK OUT/TAG OUT) which is part of the
ES&H Management System (Standard) shall be implemented on site.
Performance monitoring consists, firstly in a checking activity carried out by Site personnel to
measure, record, track and report ES&H performance against targets set in this Construction
ES&H Plan and subsequent SUBCONTRACTOR´S Site ES&H plans. Furthermore, it
pursues maintaining control of ES&H -critical activities, in order to check that works are being
executed in compliance with health, and environmental standards.
Monitoring inspections are continuously carried out by CGC and SUBCONTRACTOR ES&H
Teams by means of observational data collection during every day walk around or
observational tours and managing workforce involvement to help in the identification of
situations of non-compliance, unsafe conditions and improvement actions at any time. All
incidents and follow up actions shall also be monitored.
- Point out any unsafe situation, unsafe conditions and unsafe acts.
- Request that unsafe situations, unsafe conditions and unsafe acts are corrected.
- Inform RC and CGC Site ES&H Manager of any unsafe situation.
- In the event of serious and imminent hazard, immediately stop the activity. Not only that,
all personnel should intervene when an unsafe act or condition is observed.
Safety violations shall be identified and notified in writing. The severity of the violations and
hazards to which workers are exposed and actions to be taken are the following:
- Minor Violations
For hazards that do not result in fatality or personal injury but affect employee health and
safety, SUBCONTRACTOR shall be notified in writing.
- Major Violations.
For hazards that may cause fatality and/or serious damage to persons or property,
SUBCONTRACTOR shall be notified verbally and in writing of the recommended actions to
be taken.
Inspections for seen during the Construction works in area and Phase are described below.
Daily ES&H Inspections shall be carried out by CGC ES&H Supervisors,officer and
SUBCONTRACTOR ES&H Officers to point out unsafe situations or hazardous conditions in
order to ensure that no safety problems exist and corrective actions are taken where
required.

Application tool or any other similar system.
Weekly ES&H Inspections shall be carried out by CGC Site ES&H Manager and CGC ES&H
Supervisors jointly with SUBCONTRACTOR ES&H Representative and ES&H Officers. RC
ES&H Representative will take part in the weekly tours if he considers necessary.
Records of weekly inspections & follow up of corrective actions shall be maintained and
shared to promote ES&H improvement (see section “Weekly Inspection Reports” of this
document).
Monthly ES&H Area Audit, Inspection or Assessment shall be carried out by CGC Site by a
competent ES&H Auditor assigned by CGC Site SES&H Manager. It shall be participate by
the area responsible personnel in both CGC and SUBCONTRACTOR. The result of this
assessment will be associated to the ES&H Balance and Consequences Program.
Records of Monthly ES&H Area Audit or Assessment & follow up of corrective actions shall
be maintained and shared to promote ES&H improvement.
The CGC management team (Site or Construction Manager, Construction Supervisors and
Site ES&H Manager) make regular walk around to observe and report unsafe acts and
conditions. These observations and corrective actions are recorded and issued to the
responsible supervisors for action as well as addressed in ES&H meetings.
2.7.5 Internal ES&H Audits and Inspection.
Construction activities will be subject to internal scheduled CGC audits. All areas shall be
audited quarterly in order to ensure satisfactory control of Project ES&H Standards and

and unsafe acts) and therefore performance targets for action (action plans and/or training)
with the purpose of continuous safety improvement.
All SUBCONTRACTORS are required to have their own Behavior Based Safety Program.
The program Construction Safety Application is a tool which has the purpose to register all
health, safety and environmental observations detected on site during inspection rounds and
the registration of accidents. Furthermore, the application may be used to filter safety data,
elaborate reports of deficiencies by SUBCONTRACTOR for immediate action, elaborate
graphs, etc.
Observations must be carried out on critical jobs/tasks in each area as the highest priority
,changes priority changes in procedures or equipment are to be given the next priority,
followed by general procedures, instructions, and safe work practices.
The CGC Site Manager is responsible for providing sufficient resources to comply with this
practice. Observers shall be the ES&H team. Each employee is responsible for participating
and cooperating with those conducting the Construction Safety Application.
Daily ES&H Inspections shall be carried out by observers and the results of these inspections
will be recorded throughout the Construction Safety Application. Inspections will be
conducted at least weekly by CGC Site Manager or his designee (Weekly ES&H
Inspections).
The formal process of observing a job or task from start to finish and comparing it with a
known requirement. This is carried out by first obtaining the requirement for the job/task and
becoming familiar with the required steps.
This should be carried out in an open and non-threatening manner, and this is best achieved
by discussion with the persons doing the job before performing the observation.
While observing the job, notes will be taken regarding actions or inactions that require
correction.
When carrying out any observation it is important to make this a worthwhile experience for
both the observers and the person(s) performing the job/task; this can be achieved by
following some basic rules as follows:
- Observers introduce themselves to the person doing the job/task (unless already a part
of the work crew) and explain the observation process.
- Set the scene by explaining what you would like to do in an open, honest, and friendly
manner.
- If you are given a genuine reason why you should not be doing this observation at that
time, arrange a time suitable to both parties.
- Observers watch work activities and record what is observed.
- The process is a no name – no blame process. The process is fact find not
fault- finding, so no employee names are put on the checklist.
- Focus on the problem, not the employee – don’t be critical.
- When making written comments, don’t use names or apportion blame.
- Keep questions simple and to the point.
- The observers will speak to the employees who were observed at the end of the
observation process to provide feedback outlining actions/inactions observed, and to
provide a heightened awareness level for actions/inactions that were observed that had
a potential for injury.
- Seek verbal feedback from the employee doing the job/task and listen to what is said.
- Verify understanding by asking questions until clear.
- End on a positive note and try to remain enthusiastic.
- Employees on the crew will then be given the opportunity to clarify issues and make
suggestions for improvement of the observation process, and identify barriers to working
safely on the job.
The data collected while performing observations will be used to identify barriers to working
safely so that they can be addressed.
The data will also be tracked as a proactive measure of safe behavior on the site. Reports
and observation information will be shared with employees at “toolbox meetings.”
2.11 Accident, Incident, Injury and Near Miss
Due to CGC goal being to decrease accidents, incidents and near-misses, CGC must have
an effective proactive improvement program. List of the different measures in the proactive
program may include but not be limited to:
- Meetings
- Training
- Toolbox Talks
- Accidents Reports
- Site inspections
- Audits
In addition to ensure this prevention CGC shall include the root cause analysis in the
accidents and incidents reports. The intent on the RCA is to determine the root cause (s) of
the violation to determine the corrective course of action to prevent recurrence.
Accident is any unintentional or unplanned event that causes personal injuries, material
losses and/or damages to environment.
Incident is any unintentional or unplanned event that has actual negative consequences
could have resulted in personal injuries, material losses and/or damages to the environment.
Near miss is any unintentional or unplanned event that has the potential for negative
consequences (did not result in injury, illness, or damage).
Information on the accidents, incidents, injuries and near misses will be used as a learning
experience for all CGC /SUBCONTRACTORS.
Information on the accidents, incidents, injuries and near misses will be used as a learning
experience for all CGC/SUBCONTRACTORS. It will be recorded in the data base and
analyzed every week. The analysis shall be reported in the weekly ES&H Management
Meeting, and ES&H Committee Meeting. Any significant increase on the graph or significant
issues arises; it is the discretion of the CGC ES&H Management to call for an urgent
Management meeting to the extent of involving the SUBCONTRACTOR Corporate
Management.
CGC shall verbally notify to RC within one hour, all accidents incidents, injuries and near
misses. An Initial Incident Written Report shall be reported within 24 hours.
In order to take the adequate corrective measures, SUBCONTRACTOR shall verbally and
immediately notify CGC Site ES&H Manager of any accident/ incident and near miss
occurred within his work area. Subsequently and within (as per RC ES&H manual)
SUBCONTRACTOR ES&H Representative shall complete an Initial Incident Written Report
on the accident/ incident and near miss form ( see Appendix 06. Preliminary
Incident/Accident Report Template) that will be submitted to CGC Site ES&H Manager.
Results of weekly ES&H inspection carried out by CGC site ES&H manager and ES&H
supervisor jointly with subcontractor ES&H representative shall be recorded in writing by
using the form foreseen to the purpose .The weekly inspection report shall be discussed
weekly at the ES&H meeting and attached to the monthly progress report.

accordance with the international acceptable standard.
The minimum PPE for personnel outside a purely office environmental are: hard hats, safety
glasses with rigid side shields, gloves, safety-toed shoes/ boots, full length trousers/ long
sleeve shirt.
Special protective equipment may be used for any operation involving noise exposure in
excess of 85 dBA, respiratory hazards (dust, fumes, vapors, mist) chemical handling,
abrasive blasting, painting/coating or other hazardous/toxic material, such as: ear plugs/ muff,
face shields, respirator, specialty clothing determined by the hazard and fall arrest
equipment.

fumes, vapors, mist) shall used the necessary respiratory protection base on the
recommendation of the MSDS.(Material Safety Data Sheet)
Primary fall prevention is the elimination of all exposures by means of guardrails systems,
Scaffolding or alternate work methods such as pre-assembly at ground level. Secondary fall
protection is the utilization of personal fall arrest equipment as a backup to primary fall
prevention systems or in the absence of them.
Control measures to manage the risks of working at any height shall be identified by
risk assessment. As a minimum, employees shall comply with 100% Fall Protection
Policy that states: “Whenever employees are working from an unprotected elevation of
1,8 meters or more, fall-arrest/protection equipment (approved harness with shock

Implementation – General
Site Engineers and supervisors will design work methods to eliminate, as far as is
reasonably practicable, the need for employees to manually handle any heavy load.
Mechanical aids will be designed into work methods with adequate access and scaffold design
to eliminate the need for employees to over exert or over stretch.
Supervisors will be trained in the Manual Handling Risk Assessment techniques and conduct
risk assessments. Exhibit A provides step-by-step instructions for conducting such
assessments.
Where manual handling is unavoidable, the supervisor will conduct a risk assessment and
follow up with a STARRT session with employees before work starts.
Storage areas must be designed to reduce risk to personnel from moving heavy loads and
over-reaching.
All back injuries will be promptly reported to the supervisor and thoroughly investigated.
Appropriate action(s) will be instituted accordingly to prevent similar injuries in the future.
2. Manual Material Handling Basics
When manual lifting is anticipated, the following guidelines are provided to minimize the
potential for back injuries.
2.1. Assess the Load:
To assist all employees, it is essential to assess the load prior to attempting any manual
handling task. The following questions should be considered:
Are slings attached to make it easier for loading?
Are handhold points strategically placed to assist the best body position for the
load, preventing excessive bending and stretching?
Is the load weight evenly distributed?
Is the load free of debris, dust, oil, etc.?
Is the work surface sound and free of obstructions (e.g., trip, fall hazards)?
Are storage areas and vehicle access routes identified and clearly marked?
Is access and manual handling to different levels restricted (can mechanical lifting
be utilized instead)?
Does work area have sufficient lighting?
Once these basic questions have been considered, take appropriate steps to minimize
the weight of the load by:
Minimize the packaging of the load – make it smaller.
Specify lower package weights to suppliers.
Sort loads by category.
Make it easier to grasp – assess handle, grip, indents on cartons, etc., to make
lifting the load easier.

9. CGC site nurse will conduct/participate in health related training according to the
type of work and condition of the workers (heat stress, cold stress, emergency
awareness, evacuation drill etc.).
10. During extremely hot and humid weather, CGC will closely monitor the heat
index at the actual work location and use the Heat Index Chart for guidance.
CGC will use a functional device for measuring relative heat readings. See
appendix 2
Metabolic – this is the heat generated by the body functions which increases with the
workload.
Environmental – these are the factors leading to heat illnesses – high temperature and
humidity, direct sun or heat, limited air movement, physical exertion, poor physical
health, taking medicines, lack of knowledge and insufficient water intake.
The body tries to maintain its normal internal temperature of 37 C [98.6 F] to protect
the central core containing the vital organs, the heart, kidneys and the brain. The
brain cannot survive when its temperature exceeds 44 C [111.2 F]. For the majority of
persons this means we are comfortable working in an environment between 13C - 23
C [55 F - 73
F],at
45%humidity.
It has been researched and documented that the risk of accidents increases as
temperatures approach 35 C [95 F].
When the blood’s temperature rises above 37 C [98.6F] the brain initiates the body’s
control mechanisms. These results in the heart pumping more blood, the blood

vessels expand, the blood circulates closer to the surface of the skin and the excess
heat is lost to the air through convection, radiation, conduction and evaporation
(sweating).
Convection is the transfer of heat by movement of air next to the skin; the higher the
air speed, the greater amount of heat loss by convection. But when air temperature is
hotter than the body temperature, the loss of body heat is not possible by this
mechanism.
Radiation is the transfer of heat to cooler objects through space. If the surroundings
are cooler than the body, the body’s heat will transfer to these surroundings, but if the
surroundings are hotter than the body, the body will absorb the heat.
Conduction is the transfer of heat between objects that are in contact with each
other. The air temperature must be cooler than the skin for this to occur.
Evaporation is the cooling of the body that takes place when sweat evaporates from
the skin. Millions of sweat glands are found over the body. Sweat evaporates from the
skin cooling the skin surface. Sweating does not cool the body unless the
sweat can evaporate from the skin. The drier a climate the more sweat will be
evaporated from the body. When the humidity is low, a large amount of evaporation
takes place and increased cooling results. In a humid climate evaporation of sweat is
difficult since the surrounding air is already saturated with water.
When air temperatures are as warm, or warmer than the skin, evaporation of sweat
becomes the only effective way to cool the body.
Sweat consists mainly of water. Lack of water replacement is the major factor in heat
illnesses. In normal conditions, the body loses 2 ½ litres of bodily fluids per day; whilst
working in hot climates, the body can lose up to 1 ½ litres of sweat per hour.
Therefore persons must drink at least enough water to replace the water that is lost
through sweating and normal other losses [respiration, urine and faeces]; ideally fluids
should be taken every 20 minutes throughout the day.
