1. Introduction
Jalalpur Irrigation Project Package Two (JIP P-II). The JIP P-2 is second segment of the Project
having length of 53 km canal is under construction, starting from 32°40'03.93''N & 73°22'31.39''E
and ending at 32°35'45.53''N & 72°54'07.31''. The area falls in Tehsil Pind Dadan Khan (PD Khan)
of District Jhelum. The project area can be accessed through Lahore-Islamabad Motorway (M-2)
by taking exit from Lillah Interchange. Alternatively, the area may be reached via GT Road from
Jhelum to Rasul Barraj or from Sarai Almgir to Head Rasul via Upper Jhelum Canal.
3. Scope
Scope of the audit is the CGGC-GRC JV camps, worksites of the under construction JIP P-2 main
canal, flood carrier channels, and other allied facilities.
4. Criteria
Criteria of the audit is Environmental management plan (EMP) of Package no: JIP/WKS/ICB-P2,
construction of Jalalpur irrigation canal and its system and approved Site-specific environmental
management plan (SSEMP) of CGGC-GRC JV.
Review of the documentations done on 22nd, 23rd of May, opening meeting and site visits started
from 24 till 26 of May, draft report preparation done on 27, 28 May and closing meeting with the
final report presentation on 29th of May 2023.
SSEMP plan of the project is a live document which need to be updated throughout the duration
of the project. The SSEMP plan is missing with the SOPs related to various construction activities
like excavations, work at height, concrete work, electrical system, lifting and hoisting, fire, safe
driving, equipment operations, inspection and maintenance etc.
The key to ensure the safe working environment for the workers is to have an updated Hazard
identification and risk assessment document and process. It is integral part of each method
statement and routine of each work supervisor to undergo through the process of job hazard
analysis prior to execution of the job and make sure to communicate with all his working crew.
Generalize risk assessment is in the SSEMP but there is no record or evidence found for site
specific risk assessment and hazard identification even in the method statements as well.
The purpose of the capacity building program of the workers is to ensure that workers are to be
made aware of the work-related hazards, well prepared for the tasks with particular attention
being paid to controls and preventive measures of the hazards and risks. Worker’s induction and
training is not addressed, no mechanism for induction of new workforce at the project site, neither
the trend of TBTs at site is established and nor the job specific trainings delivered on routine basis.
Inspections are the key part of the management plan to assess and confirm the activities are in
compliance with the requirements and expectations of EMP/SSEMP as well as to enhance the
system improvement and awareness of the site person. No record or evidence of formal and
scheduled inspections of machinery, electrical systems, workers camps, kitchen and fire safety
etc. observed.
Another important aspect and tools to engage the different levels of the project to ensure the
compliance of management plan and to bring the continuous improvement in the system is HSE
internal and external review meetings. This part is also neglected in the project which is obviously
the cause of poor HSE performance and achievement.
PPEs Compliance at site is very poor, no process of identification, provision and use observed at
the project site. The workers are not provided with the mandatory and job specific PPEs at site.
Wherever some of the workers are provided with the helmets are not reinforced to use during
the activities. During site inspections workers were observed working without safety shoes near
projected nails, rebars, working at height without body harness, involved in handling or use of
hazardous material without skin/eye/respiratory protection.
Provision of Welfare facilities are obligatory to the contractor and it is very basic human right of
the workers. Congested and crowded accommodations with poor sanitation facilities observed
in the camps especially for the labors. At workers camp II, no washroom provided to workers
living there, they are coercive to open defecation and urination. Used chemical tank provided for
drinking water.
Medical screening of the kitchen staff is not done and neither are they vaccinated. No use of
aprons or head cover observed while preparation of food.
First aid facility was available in base camp, dispensary with the basic first aid medication and
qualified and experienced dispenser is available. At site, no first aid box observed.
Housekeeping at various sites and in the camp require improvement, waste is being collected not
in separate bin and even medical waste mixed with kitchen and other office waste.
Emergency preparedness and response is also ignored during the construction of the project. No
drill conducted during the project life to test the EPRP prepared and response.
Incident reporting and investigation has vital role to prevent the reoccurrence and find out the
gaps in the existing system. No record or evidences found regarding incident reporting ion the
project.
Compliance of other SSEMP/EMP requirements like traffic safety, excavation safety, public
safety is very poor. Excavation without barrication and diversion without protection and signage.
In general, the overall compliance of SSEMP/EMP is very poor at the site, although some of the
good practices observed at the sites or in the camp during the visit which are enlisted below.
