I. Executive Summary

The objective of this HSE plan is to promote Health, Safety & Environment of person working with
AFCONS INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED (AFCONS) and prescribe certain rules, procedures and
safe practices in order to comply with the applicable laws, Client / AFCONS HSE policies & to create
a working environment free of condition and factors that might contribute to an accident or injury /
Illness. The project specific HSE plan will provide guide line for safe execution of project.

The management and monitoring of the processes contained within these procedures are the
responsibility of the AFCONS. The implementation of these procedures will provide the platform on
which we seek to attain and maintain high standards of health, safety & environmental performance.

The avoidance of accidents and the promotion of a safe and healthy workplace must be a common
objective for all the Sub-contractors. A safe working environment will be achieved through the active
and equal participation of all employees (and those subcontractors undertaking work for AFCONS) in
identifying hazards, and then introducing control measures to ensure positive elimination or reduction
of the risk presented by them.

5. Electric Shock Procedure

1. A person being shocked needs to be disconnected from the source of electrical power.
 Immediately call for emergency assistance Health Center and Security
 Do not endanger yourself. If the victim is still in contract with the electricalcurrent,
you must be careful to avoid being shocked yourself. You cannot help ifyou become a
victim, too.
 Do not touch the victim. The current can pass through you also.
 Do not touch the source of electricity.
 Break the current. Before you can do anything else, you must get the victim freefrom
the current.
2. Locate the disconnecting switch/breaker and turn it off. Alternatively, if the disconnecting device
cannot be located, the victim can be pried or pulled from the circuit by an insulated object such as
a dry wood board, piece of nonmetallic conduit, or rubber electrical cord.
3. Victims need immediate medical response: check for breathing and pulse, then apply CPR as
necessary to maintain oxygenation.
4. If a victim is still conscious after having been shocked, they need to be closely monitored and
cared for until trained emergency response personnel arrive. There is danger of physiological
shock, so keep the victim warm and comfortable.
5. Shock victims may suffer heart trouble up to several hours after being shocked. The danger of
electric shock does not end after the immediate medical attention
 If the victim is not breathing, begin rescue breathing
 If it is needed, begin CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
 Do not attempt to move the victim unless he/she is in further danger. Other injuries
mayhave occurred that you are unaware of.
 Cover the victim in a blanket and stay with him/her until help arrives. Do not
leavehim/her alone. Take steps to prevent or lessen the severity of shock

6. Food Poisoning
Food poisoning can be caused by several different bacteria, such as salmonella or botulism. Although
certain types of food poisoning can be fatal, most cases run their course in a couple of days.

Symptoms of food poisoning are similar to those of the flu, except for fever, which is more likely to
occur with the flu, and should be treated the same. They usually begin from two hours to two days
after eating the tainted food and include:

 Headache
 Nausea
 Diarrhea and/or vomiting
 Stomach cramps or pain
 More serious symptoms can include blurred vision, fatigue and a dry mouth.

Procedure to be followed in case of a Food Poisoning

 Sip water or diluted juice as soon as vomiting has decreased.


 If symptoms continue for more than 24 hours, or if you are unable to tolerate any
fluids, contact your primary care doctor or visit the emergency department.
 Seek emergency care if you become dehydrated.

 Most adults can handle one day without nutrition, but continued vomiting to the point
of dehydration requires medical attention.
 Finally, be aware that adults can handle dehydration better than small children and
that high fever also can indicate a more serious illness.
