1. STATEMENT OF POLICY
1.1. OBJECTIVES
The Elimination of accidents in the Project. There are three sound reasons for this objective: 1.1.1. No endeavor is worthy if it should cause human suffering through disabling injury or loss of life. 1.1.2. A good safety record reflects the quality of management, supervision and the work force. It also serves to promote business and thereby contributes to the continuing growth and success of the company. 1.1.3. Poor accident experience increases costs and results in a loss of profits.

1.2. GOALS
The safety goals of this project are to achieve zero fatalities, zero permanent disabilities, zero lost- time accidents, and a safety performance level below 50% of OSHA heavy construction average injury rates.

1.3. STATEMENT OF POLICY


1.3.1. EL SEIF is guided by an established accident-prevention policy. This policy is based on a sincere desire to eliminate personal injuries, occupational illnesses and damage to equipment and property, as well as to protect the general public whenever and wherever the public comes in contact with, or is affected by the facilities construction activity. 1.3.2. EL SEIF will maintain a safety and accident prevention program which meets the requirements of the Host Country, local codes, and all other authorities having jurisdiction over the Work 1.3.3. Management and supervision are charged with the responsibility of preventing the occurrence of incidents or conditions that could lead to occupational injuries or illness. While the ultimate success of the Safety, Health and Fire Prevention Program depends upon the full cooperation of each individual employee, it is management's responsibility to ENFORCE Safety Procedures and good practices. 1.3.4. Safety shall be considered an integral part of quality control, cost reduction and job efficiency. 1.3.5. Every supervisor shall be responsible for the safety performance demonstrated by the employees under his supervision. Employees are responsible to abide by procedures, use tools and equipment safely, follow the rules and use personal protective equipment provided.

1.3.6. Even though we believe our Program to be most effective, we recognize that such program must continuously evolve and be reviewed and modified to meet changing project conditions. Our policy is to accomplish work in the safest possible manner consistent with good practices. Management and supervision at every level is charged with the task of translating this policy into positive actions.

1.4. PURPOSE AND SCOPE


1.4.1. EL SEIF requires that a consistent Construction Safety, Health and Fire Prevention Program be employed during all activities of its employees, agents, and subcontractors. This Construction Safety, Health and Fire Prevention Manual represents El Seif expectation for efforts conducted by itself and its subcontractors at all times. 1.4.2. In performance of contracting activity, commitment shall be established for accident prevention and fire prevention. Safety shall be of high priority to eliminate personal injuries, occupational illnesses and damage to equipment or property, as well as protecting the general public whenever they may be affected by the work. 1.4.3. Management and supervision shall recognize the responsibility for compliance to all established codes, regulations, standards and procedures. 1.4.4. In performance of the work, EL SEIF and its subcontractors shall meet the requirements of the Host Country, local codes and all other authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. 1.4.5. A training program, starting with the basic Safety Induction program, shall be effectively established for each employee soliciting their full cooperation and compliance.

1.4.6. EL SEIF and its subcontractors shall plan storage, and disposal of
any chemicals, refuse, waste, or other materials generated or used in the performance of the work in accordance with this Safety, Health, and Fire Prevention Manual.

An excavation is any man-made cavity or depression in the earth's surface. This can include excavations for anything from cellars to highways. 5.1.3. The Project requires that all excavations over 1.5 meters deep be sloped, shored, benched, braced, or otherwise supported. When soil conditions are unstable, excavations shallower than 1.5 meters also shall be sloped, supported, or shored. 5.1.4. One method of ensuring the safety of workers in a trench or excavation is to slope the sides to a safe angle. The angle varies with different kinds of soil and shall be determined on each individual project. When an excavation has water conditions, silty material, or loose boulders, or when it is being dug in areas where erosion or slide planes are apparent, the safe angle shall be flattened. 5.1.5. A second method of support is shoring-sheeting, tightly placed timber shores, bracing, trench jacks, piles, or other materials installed in manner strong enough to resist the pressures surrounding the excavation. 5.1.6. A trench box, a prefabricated, movable trench shield composed of steel plates welded to a heavy steel frame may also be used.
