HAZARD ANALYSI S

Proposed Proposed Site Safety Safety Advisor Advisor (and Safety Officers) Officers),, shall conduct conduct a walk-throug walk-through h of  the project site and shall identify potential hazard areas and/or situations, and record the findings findings on on the Plot Plan. Plan. A report report will be submit submitted ted to the CM and and as and when when require CM Safety Staff will join the walk-though. Once the hazards have been identified, they are to be classified as Class “A”, “B” or “C” to describe the potential severity as noted below: •

Class “A” Hazards. A condition or practice likely to cause permanent disability, loss of life or body part and/or extensive loss of equipment or materials.

•

Class “B” Hazards. A condition or practice likely to cause serious injury or  illness (resulting in temporary disability) or property damage that is disruptive, but less severe than Class “A”.

•

Clas Classs “C” “C” Haza Hazard rds. s. A condition or practice likely to cause minor (non-disability) injury or illness or non-disruptive property damage.

HAZARDS TO BE ADDRESSED

Outlined below are the various types of o f hazards typical in a construction site. In the event a hazard has not been covered in the findings during HIP walk-through, the following will be a guide to ensure all hazards are covered:

CLASS “A” HAZARDS Activities

Description of Potential Hazard & Preventive Measures

• Temporary & Permanent Electricity

•

•

•

•

•

Distribution of electricity in the construction site is different from a permanent installation. Hazards will arise when unskilled or unqualified electricians carry out electrical work. The use of  Lock-Out and Hold Tags maybe called for on certain operations. The use of GFCI’s is required on all Construction sites. Crane & critical lifts like equipment that will be Cran Cranee & Cri Criti tica call Lift Liftss utilized for dynamic compaction & dynamic replacement are major hazards. Where large or  heavy pieces of equipment, inexperienced workmen, uncertified operators and unapproved equipment are combined, accidents can occur. Procedures as outlined in CLIENT Construction Safety Manual & Crane Safety Handbook must  be followed. Exceeding the safe working load of rigging Slings & Lifting Gear equipment, using un-inspected or damaged slings or using untrained personnel can cause accidents. Compliance with approved procedures as outlined in the latest CLIENT Construction Safety Manual and Crane Safety Handbook is a must. Welding, cutting and brazing are safe operations Weldin Welding, g, Cut Cuttin ting g & Brazin Brazing g if carried out in the correct manner. Where equipment is defective, or there is no wellarranged plan to carry out this type of work, hazards can arise. Ensure that only safe equipments are being used and works carried-out  by competent personnel. The use of sub-standard material, combined with Scaf Scaffo fold ldin ing g & Lad Ladde ders rs inexperienced, untrained and not certified workmen, presents a hazard when using a scaffold and ladder. Only competent, trained, certified workmen will erect scaffolding, supervised by Certified Scaffolding Supervisor  and inspected by a Certified Scaffolding Inspector. Careful erection and inspection of  scaffolding is essential to prevent accidents. o ground containing an excavation can be relied Manholes Manholes/Ex /Excava cavation tions, s, Pits, Pits, Tre Trenchi nching ng & upon to support its own weight. No pit or  Shoring manhole can be considered safe. Rescue equipment and a procedure for a rescue operation Page 6 of 59

• Road Construction & Re-routing of  Existing Roads {As prescribed By CLIENT}

• Concrete, Concrete Forms & Shoring

• Sandblasting

• Thrust Boring

Description of Potential Hazard & Preventive Measures

must be in place prior to start of any work these areas. Should work be carried out in close proximity to existing obstructions, specifically, hydrocarbon related pipe bridges, caution shall be taken to ensure that damage is not caused to CLIENT facilities, or Contractor’s equipment or  employees during excavations or lifting operations. Goal posts shall be installed to establish a safe distance between work area and overhead obstruction. Several factors must be taken into account before any road is blocked or re-routed. Prior to the method of blockage being decided, or prime importance are the methods of construction and the surround hazards, i.e. high water table and  pump requirement, traffic flow at various times of the day, etc. CLIENT and Safety Section shall  be notified prior to any proposed road blockage or re-routing and traffic plan shall be submitted for review/approval. Road blockage/re-routing shall be made to comply with CLIENT General Instructions. This covers several area of work, all of which  present hazards. The placement of reinforcing steel, concrete, vertical shoring, formwork and shuttering, are but a few to the concerns that should be considered in any HIP. Accidents can  be caused by employee’s actions/inactions, and/or  unanticipated failure of mechanical devices, concrete forms or shuttering. Sandblasting can cause hazards not only to the operators, but also assistants and other people in the area, if hydrocarbons are present, if  sandblasting equipment is incorrectly grounded or  if proper protective is not worn. Boring underneath roadways can cause subsidence, cave-in, damage to other underground utilities and can create traffic flow disruption. Prior to carrying out this work, a method statement, including detour plan, shall be submitted to CLIENT/Safety Section for  review/approval. Page 7 of 59

a)

CLASS “A” HAZARDS Activities

• Hot Taps

• Personal Safety

• Paints & Coatings

• Explosive Material

• Piling Operations

• Asbestos & Other Fibers

• Demolition

Description of Potential Hazard & Preventive Measures

Installation of hot taps by inexperienced workmen, H2S presence, working in confined areas and unmaintained hot tap machines, can all cause accidents. Incorrect types or sub-standard personal  protective equipment can lead to accidents. All PPE must be made to comply with ANSI or  OSHA Standards. This includes hard hats, safety glasses, safety shoes/boots and full body harnesses. Paints and coatings, improperly handled, stored,  prepared and applied, can cause harmful conditions. Ventilation is a prime area of concern in the application of any paint or coating being applied on the Construction site. Note: See “Chemicals” section of this program for details on maintaining a MSDS. Additionally, special attention must be taken in the storage of paints & coatings. Handling, storage, transportation and misfires using explosives all can cause hazardous conditions. Widely used in constructions operations, piling without good experienced workmen, well maintained equipment and with the stress and vibration imposed on that equipment, can lead to hazardous conditions. Asbestos has been widely used in the construction industry, and is the generic name given to a number of inorganic fibrous silicate minerals. Disposal, storage, handling, ventilation, transportation and over exposure can all cause hazardous conditions. Many factors must be considered prior to any demolition including the structures age, method of construction, state of preservation, its previous use, the type of material used in the construction and/or renovations and the surrounding environment (see the notes on “Asbestos & Other  Fibers” above). Accidents can happen when due consideration is not given to all the foregoing, as Page 8 of 59

CLASS “A” HAZARDS Activities

• Chemical

• Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)

• Fuel

• Plant Operation & Hydrocarbon

• Ionizing Radiation

Description of Potential Hazard & Preventive Measures

well as cleansing and degreasing equipment. Any chemical should be treated as hazardous. Handling, storage, identification and labels which are incorrectly tagged and spillages can cause extremely hazardous conditions. Follow  procedures as outlined in Contractors Safety Plan. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be established and maintained by the Contractor. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), widely used in the construction industry, is normally odourless, colorless and heavier than air. In commercial usage, an odorizing agent is added to facilitate detection of accidental gas escapes. Incorrect handling, storage or labelling can cause extremely hazardous conditions. Fuel incorrectly stored or mishandled can cause accidents. Refuelling operations require special attention. Fuel must not be stored or transported in plastic containers. All containers, including fuel tanks, must be grounded and bonded to the equipment into which fuel is being transferred. Berms are required to contain spillages in larger  fuel storage tanks. Construction operations could affect the movement of hydrocarbons if not planned and  performed in accordance with the standard operating procedures. Ionizing industrial radiation, such as “X-Rays” generated by equipment or gamma rays emitted spontaneously by radioactive materials, are widely used for non-destructive testing, without damaging the tested materials. However, they can  penetrate the human body, unknown, as the senses cannot recognize them, causing living cells in the  body harm.

Page 9 of 59

b)

CLASS “B” HAZARDS Activities

Description of Potential Hazard & Preventive Measures

• Heavy Equipment Operation

Heavy equipment operated by uncertified operators, equipment lacking maintenance or lack of a back-up spotter (banks-man) are potential hazards. These operations could be reclassified as Class “A” if the  physical layout of the area offers additional hazards, such tank farms, congested traffic flow, etc. Equipment shall only be operated by certified and competent operators who know the limitation of his equipment.

• Material Handling

Material handling forms a large part of construction work. How these materials are handled and stored can have a considerable effect on the job safety. The type of material being handled may require up-grading to Class “A” Hazard and handling should also be upgraded accordingly.

• Hand/Power Tools

Power tools allow many jobs to be carried out more efficiently and with greater speed and accuracy. However, hazards will arise when unskilled and untrained workers are allowed to operate hand/power  tools. Proper training and experience must be the criteria for allowing a worker to use hand/power tools.

• Site Office & Lay-down Yard

Site offices and lay-down yard, including flammable storage facilities shall be constructed with safety and efficiency in mind. Negligence of such factors could lead to unfortunate incidents. All utilities shall be made to comply with CSM requirement. Proper operation and maintenance shall be established. Layouts shall be submitted to CM /Safety Section for review/approval  prior to construction.

• Mechanical Equipment

Mechanical equipment can cause hazard if the operators are not properly trained and the equipment is  poorly maintained. Only trained operators shall operate  properly maintained equipment.

CLASS “C” HAZARDS Activities

• Sanitation & Housekeeping

6.0

Description of Potential Hazard & Preventive Measures

A major factor influencing the health of  individuals is sanitation & housekeeping. Diseases and sickness could easily be transmitted without the practice of proper  sanitation and hygiene. And no work can be considered as complete unless housekeeping is done and done regularly. Waste disposal system shall be established and maintained, insect, rodent and pest control shall also be conducted regularly.

TRAFFIC:

The general traffic plan applicable for this project at the commencement of the work shall be the result of a careful study in the actual traffic flow in the area. Considering th e nature of the project area, an accurate traffic plan will be prepared by the field Safety Supervisor, specifically on the working areas and will be distributed at various departments at site and implemented accordingly, prior to start of work.

Excavators Excavations are carried out using very specialized equipment that basically falls into two categories: 1) fixed position machines, and 2) moving machines. The choice of equipment to be used is determined by the size of the project, topography, volume of earth to be hauled out and many other factors. Fixed position machines include, but are not limited to, face shovels, backhoes, draglines and grabs. The “fixed” excavator loosens the soil and loads from a stationary position. They are useful to  perform specific excavation tasks at a single location. Their loss of mobility is compensated by the fact that greater force can be applied at the excavation face. “Moving” machines include, but are not limited to, bulldozers, loaders, Page 33 of 59

trailers and trenching machines. They remove, transport and deposit excavated material all in one cycle of operation. They are used in applications where large volumes of earth need to be moved over uneven ground. In this process, they also help to level the ground over which they operate. Operators of excavators must possess a valid Saudi Arab Government license for the rd machine and a valid independent 3  party Certification. Outriggers must be fully extended when operating a mechanical excavator so fitted. An attendant must be appointed and be available at all times during excavation to assist and guide the operator. Excavators with a swinging motion must have a clearance of at least 0.6 meter (2 feet) from any fixed object. Booms on excavators must be latched before travel. Do not excavate closer than 10 feet to the nearest pipeline or other equipment in place. Saudi Binladin Group shall control all excavation work associated in this project.

METHODS Different types of emergencies might occur during the course of the project, with our   previous experience in working on the same type of work, and in the same work  locations, combined with relevant provisions from SBG’s (HSE) Safety Plan; we developed and maintained the following emergency response procedures to emergency cases that has the possibility of occurring in the jobsite.

6.1

6.1.1

Emergency Response Procedures:

Identification & Classification of Emergency Response Levels — Saudi Binladin Group & Sons Co., have identified four (4) response levels according to the nature of the  problem and are deemed applicable to all Saudi Projects: Level 1  —  Minor Incidents  — incidents that have no serious risk to facilities or   personnel and can be handled by personnel in the immediate work area. Such incident shall be resolved and documented and to be reported to the concerned person of the company, as well as CM.

C-6

Level 2  —  Emergency — incidents that require assistance of CM and Safety Section and can be controlled by local resources and services within the vicinity (this does not require total site evacuation, however, in case of fire, it will require initiation of alarm and evacuation of affected facilities, medical treatment and hospitalization of injured  personnel.) Level 3  —  Search and Rescue — shall be initiated when an employee’s expected arrival time at his destination is overdue or he needs assistance in a remote area and/or in the desert. This may also require assistance from CM. Level 4  —  Disaster   — incidents that cannot be controlled by local resources and needs CLIENT’s assistance or calling 9998(Airport) for further assistance. It is the highest level of emergency that requires the initiation of alarms or siren, total evacuation of the worksite and requires all personnel to proceed immediately to the designated evacuation assembly areas.

6.1.2

Reporting Emergencies — all personnel, during one of the Tool Box Talks, were briefed on how to report incidents. Person or persons who first discover the incident should immediately report to any of the responsible persons as shown in the attached listing. Responsible person, whom the incident is reported, will immediately take action or  contact the appropriate personnel or department available, who could best respond to the incident effectively.

6.1.3

Sounding The Alarm — in incidents where the attention of all site occupants or site  personnel are required, the alarm (siren) shall be sounded, to inform everybody within the vicinity of the emergency and guide them on the specific action they need to take. Alarm system shall be regularly tested and tagged and can be heard throughout the site.

6.1.4

Assessing the Situation & Mobilization of Resources — Site Safety Advisor, along with the responsible persons of the site, shall assess the emergency and shall act accordingly. Ensure enough resources are being mobilized and suitable measures applied.

6.1.5

Suppression/Control of Incident — ERT shall take control of the situation and ensure appropriate suppression/control of the incident had been applied with. Provide additional resources, if required, to control the situation or when condition becomes hazardous or  there is likelihood of escalation. Monitoring and supervision of applied actions shall be continuously conducted until such time the situation is under control.

6.1.6

Post-Incident Actions: -

The ERT Team Leader gives the “stand down” order to emergency response team, with a few team members maintaining a fire watch (if fire incident) and prevent reignition. Restore normal operations when deemed safe to do so.

C-7

6.2

1.2

General Rules for Scaffolding

1.2.1

Foundations

1.2.1.1

The foundations shall be adequate to carry the load and, as far as possible, level.

1.2.1.2

A base plate shall be placed under every standard irrespective of the foundation surface. A sole plate shall be placed under every base plate where the foundation is other  than concrete or metal plate decking. This rule shall apply to open deck grating.

1.2.1.3

1.2.1.4

Sole plates, where required, shall be placed underneath the base plates on two adjacent standards, normally at right angles to the face of the scaffold. The sole  plate will extent 600mm either side of two adjacent standards which it supports.

1.2.1.5

Under no circumstances will any excavation be performed within 3m of the foundations of a scaffold to prevent undermining.

1.2.2

Standards (Tube & Coupler Scaffolds)

1.2.2.1

Standards shall be plumbed vertical. G-3

1.2.2.2

The spacing between standards is determined by the intended use of the scaffold. Under no circumstances will the bay length exceed those distances given in Table 1.1.

1.2.2.3

Joints in standards can be made with sleeve couplers or spigots (joint pins). Joints must be staggered, i.e. they must not occur at the same level in adjacent standards.

1.2.3

Ledgers (Tube & Coupler Scaffolds)

1.2.3.1

Ledgers must be plumbed level and fixed to the inside of standards using right angle, load-bearing couplers.

1.2.3.2

The vertical distance (lift height) between ledgers must not exceed 2m.

1.2.3.3

Joints in ledgers will be made with sleeve couplers; spigots (joint pins) are not acceptable. All joints must be staggered. Table 1.1 General Requirements for Tube and Coupler Scaffolds

Transoms

1.2.4.1

Transoms should, whenever possible, be secured to standards using right angle couplers. They may however, be laid across ledgers and secured with putlog clips  provided that they are not more than 300mm from each pair of standards.

1.2.5

Ties

1.2.5.1

Ties must be fixed at every second lift and every second standard.

1.2.5.2

Where a scaffold has been sheeted out with tarpaulins, consideration will be given to additional wind loading and the insertion of additional ties.

1.2.5.3

All ties will be positive two way ties i.e. they will prevent movement of the scaffold either  into or away from the building. Positive two-way ties are: Box tie Screw or anchor ties

Through tie Ties secured with couplers

1.2.5.4

All ties must be secured as near to the node point as is possible. No other coupler will  be acceptable.

1.2.5.5

The anchorage point to which a tie is secured must be of sufficient strength to withstand the load imposed upon it. Under no circumstances will guardrails be used as an anchorage point for ties.

1.2.5.6

As a general rule, ties must always be inserted. Where this is not possible, one of  the following actions may be taken. On small scaffolds not extending above three lifts, adequate stability of the scaffold can be achieved by rakers. The raker will be secured with right angle couplers to the ledger at the second lift. The load in the raker will be distributed through a base plate or if required a sole plate. The foot of the raker will be tied back to the main scaffold. Rakers will be inserted at the same standard spacing as ties. Where a scaffold extends above three lifts, a well-braced buttress shall be erected along the total length of the structure. The buttress shall be erected to a height no lower than the third lift from the top of the scaffold. The scaffold will then be raked back from the second top lift to the buttress, using right-angled couplers.

1.2.5.7

No raker shall extend more than 3m without being tied back at its mid point.

1.2.6

Braces

1.2.6.1

All scaffolds will be braced in both directions. Braces, whether façade or ledger to ledger, will extend to the full height of the structure. G-5

1.2.6.2

Façade braces will be repeated at a maximum distance of every 10m.

1.2.6.3

Ledger to ledger bracing will be repeated at every alternate set of standards.

1.2.6.4

Joints in façade braces will be made with sleeve couplers; spigots are not acceptable.

1.2.6.5

Where braces are fixed to transoms, the transom itself must be fixed with right angle couplers.

1.2.7

Working Platform

1.2.7.1

Working platforms will normally be five boards wide but may be reduced to three  boards where the scaffold has been erected for inspection purposes only.

1.2.7.2

All working platforms will be close boarded with boards butted end to end.

1.2.7.3

Each individual board will be securely lashed.

1.2.7.4

Guardrails will be fixed to the inside of the standards on all working platforms to a height of between 1.10m (minimum) and 1.50m (maximum). The space between the top of the toe board and the underside of the guardrail will not exceed 690mm.

1.2.7.5

An intermediate guardrail will be fixed to the inside of standards in every instance.

1.2.7.6

Toe boards including stop end boards will be fitted to all working platforms. The minimum height will be 150mm.

1.2.7.7

If materials are to be stacked above the height of the toe board, a suitable barrier  (brick guards) will be erected.

1.2.7.8

Ladder access openings will be not more than 500mm wide (2 boards) and will be as short as possible in the other direction.

1.2.7.9

The maximum span of any board forming the working platform will be 1.20m.

1.2.7.10 The minimum overhang of any board will be not less than 50mm and the maximum overhang will not exceed 150mm. 1.2.7.11 No more than 2 boards’ width will be supported on needle transoms unless the transoms are fixed with right angle coupler and ‘picked up’. 1.2.7.12 Sign boards in appropriate languages shall be permanently displayed on each working  platform. These shall state the maximum allowable weight of tools and materials and the maximum number of men per bay appropriate to the type of scaffold.

G-6

1.2.8

Ladder Access Platforms

1.2.8.1

The vertical height between ladder access platforms will not exceed 9m.

1.2.8.2

Ladder access platforms will be close boarded and will have guardrails and toe  boards secured as described in section 1.2.7 above.

1.2.9

Ladders

1.2.9.1

Ladders will project beyond working platforms or ladder access platforms by a minimum distance of 1.05m (five rungs).

1.2.9.2

Ladders will be based on a sound footing. They will be lashed or secured by a  proprietary clamp at both the foot and near the top.

1.2.9.3 The angle at which the ladder is set will (with the exception of scaffold towers)  be 75 or 300mm out for every 1.20m of vertical length. 1.2.9.4

Long ladders will be supported and lashed at their mid point to remove any bounce.

1.2.9.5

Ladders may be of aluminium. Only properly constructed and manufactured ladders shall  be used. ‘Home made’ ladders are strictly forbidden.

1.2.9.6

All ladders will be of good repair and sound construction. They will be checked for  damage, faults and wear & tear by the Competent Scaffold Inspector before use.

1.2.9.7

Ladders will not be painted or treated in any other way likely to conceal defects.

1.2.9.8

Stiles will not be excessively warped.

1.2.9.9

Rungs will not be excessively worn, broken or missing.

1.2.9.10 Metal tie rods will be in place. 1.2.9.11 Ladders may be on the outside of a scaffold for the first two lifts above ground level. In every other instance, the ladder run will be internal to the scaffold. 1.2.10

Protective Fans

1.2.10.1 Where it is likely that material may fall from a scaffold and where people are working or passing in close proximity to the structure, a protective fan will be erected. 1.2.10.2 Protective fans will not be used to store scaffolding or other materials.

G-7

1.2.10.3 The protective fan shall not be more than 5m above ground level, shall be at least 2m wide and at an angle not exceeding 20 to the horizontal. 1.2.11

Check Fittings

1.2.11.1 Without exception, check fittings will be used whenever a scaffold tube is punched up,  picked up, rakered or hanging. 1.2.12

REQUIREMENTS FOR  HOT WEATHER AND HEAT STRESS

K-1

1.0

PURPOSE 





To provide a safe working surrounding by establishing a procedure that addresses temperature extremes and reduces exposure to the effects of heat related hazards. To provide adequate access to drinking water and regimen for working in high heat areas To monitor workers and ensure they are consuming adequate amounts of water.

2.0

SCOPE

2.1

To inform all supervisors of their responsibilities to the workforce and regulate exposure to heat situations.

3.0

REFERENCES HSE Requirements as stipulated in Contract Documents. All applicable Saudi Arabian Regulatory Authority requirements and regulations

4.0

DEFINITIONS, TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS

HEAT STRESS is usually the result of work being performed at elevated temperatures. Contributory factors may also include a decrease of natural body ventilation by protective clothing e.g. chemical & impervious suits. NOTE: If the body’s physiological processes fail to maintain a normal body temperature because of excessive heat, a number of physical reactions can occur  ranging from mild (such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and decreased concentration, dexterity , or movement) to fatal. Because heat stress is one of the most common and potentially serious illnesses that construction workers encounters, in areas where high temperatures are normally encountered, regular  monitoring and other preventative measures are vital. 5.0

RESPONSIBILITIES It is the responsibility of each Manager. Department Head, Engineer, foreman, charge-hand to ensure that their workers are informed of the physical hazards to Heat Exposure. Supervision shall actively monitor the work force for signs and symptoms of heat stress. The Site HSE Advisor / Doctor shall ensure that the requirements of this procedure are communicated throughout the organization through education (toolbox talks) and will liase with medical department in identifying and trends and concerns with regard to cases of heat stress. Medical personnel shall ensure the sufficient quantities of electrolyte and other  forms of treatment are available in the medical center for the handing of any  patients suffering from any heat related illness.

K-2

Project Management and supervision are responsible for ensuring that personnel under their control are educated in recognizing and understanding the symptoms and treatment for the various forms of heat stress. 6.0

PROCEDURE There are several health hazards associated with excessive exposure to heat and sun. Recognize the effects of the following heat exposures: Heat Cramps This is a result of the loss of salt in the working muscles, usually a part of heat exhaustion. Acclimatize yourself during hot weather and consume lots of water, juice, or a sport drink before work. Other drinks like Coke, Tea and Coffee contain caffeine, which if consumed in excess amounts, also accelerates fluid loss in the urine. Heat Exhaustion

This is caused by the excessive loss of body fluids from sweating. The individual sweat which causes dehydration and the symptoms are dizziness, become nauseated or very tiered. Rest and plenty of water usually produce quick recovery to this common heat ailment. Heat Stroke

This is the most serious hot weather health problem. The individual’s tolerance to heat stops. The individual has hot, dry skin with a high core temperature, chills, and mental confusion. If the individual is not cooled off quickly, the result can be brain damage or even death. The individual with a medical history of heat stroke is more likely to have a recurrence under the same conditions. Ensure workers are acclimatized to the heat. Provide shelters where workers can find shade and protection from direct sunrays. Provide periodic water breaks where workers can drink before, during and after  work. Establish a work regimen where workers can be rotated, allowing short rest periods to prevent harmful effects due to Heat. Categorize the work load as the type of work being performed. Light – supervising, Medium – regular work  Heavy – digging, concrete work welding and grinding Provide water access in strategic points that are accessible to the worker. Establish access points to water for workers that are working at heights. Supervisors must monitor their work force by looking for signs of dehydration, especially in older persons or workers that have h ealth problems. If possible, regulate work hours where exposure to high heat will not be during  peak heat hours.

K-3

Preventative measures:

Employees shall have access to cool potable water at their place of work Water  coolers shall be provided for all crews. Shaded areas shall be provided for rest periods and instructions given to workers that resting adjacent to, or under plant and equipment is strictly prohibited. First Aid equipment provided on site shall include treatment for dehydration e.g. electrolytes. General All of the above conditions must be reported to the medical center and treated as soon as possible. Medical staff or first aiders will send regular communiqués on the subject of heat stress and inform management of any concerns. The contents of this  procedure will be communicated and emphasized to site supervision during training sessions and at the contractors regular HSE meetings.

Guidelines for the Control of Heat Stress

Heat stress is defined as a medical condition ranging in severity from mild to fatal as a consequence of working at elevated temperatures where the normal body temperature has increased to a level requiring action. Supervisors at any management level are responsible for ensuring that their workforce are not subjected to heat stress by: The provision of adequate supplies of drinking water. Ensuring that all personnel, including those of  subcontractors under their control, are not working in conditions that are likely to lead to the incidence of heat stress. Monitoring their workforce during periods of high temperature, and at other  times such as Ramadan, for signs of heat stress and taking immediate action when necessary. Heat stress is usually the result of work being performed at elevated temperatures. Contributory factors may also include a decrease of natural body ventilation by heavy clothing or protective  personal equipment such as impervious suits. If the body's physiological processes fail to maintain a normal body temperature because of  excessive heat, a number of physical reactions can occur ranging in degree from mild, such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety and decreased concentration, dexterity, or movement, to fatal. Heat stress is one of the most common and potentially serious illnesses that construction workers encounter in areas where high temperatures normally occur and regular monitoring and other preventative measures are vital. All of the conditions described below must be reported to the clinic and treated as soon as possible. Medical staff are to send regular communiqués on the subject of heat stress and inform management of any concerns. Supervisors are to ensure that their workforce is fully aware of the causes and symptoms of  heat stress and the measures that can be taken to prevent or reduce the effects. Preventative Measures

Employees must have access to cool potable water at their place of work. Water and paper cups are to be provided for all crews. Shaded areas are to be provided for rest periods and instructions given to workers that resting adjacent to or under plant and equipment is strictly prohibited. Fans may be required to increase ventilation in such areas. Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is an acute and dangerous reaction to heat stress caused by a failure of the heat regulating mechanisms of the body, e.g. A breakdown of the employee’s temperature control

L-7

system that causes sweating. Body temperature rises so high that brain damage and death will result if the person is not cooled quickly. Typical symptoms are red, hot, dry skin, although the person may have been sweating earlier; nausea; dizziness; confusion; extremely high blood pressure, rapid respiratory and pulse rate; unconsciousness or in a coma. The casualty must be cooled down and medical attention sought immediately, with the patient transported to the clinic for treatment. Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is a state of very definite weakness or exhaustion caused by the loss of  fluids from the body. This condition is much less dangerous than heat stroke, but must be treated early on to prevent eventual deterioration to heat stroke. Typical symptoms are pale, clammy, moist skin, profuse perspiration, and extreme weakness. Body temperature is normal, pulse is weak and rapid, and breathing is shallow. The person may have a headache, may vomit, and may be dizzy. Remove the casualty from the heat, provide plenty of fluids to drink and allow rest. Heat Cramps

Heat cramps are caused by perspiration that is not balanced by adequate fluid intake. Heat cramps are often the first sign of a condition that can lead to heat stroke. Typical symptoms are acute painful spasms of voluntary muscles; e.g. abdomen and extremities. The casualty should drink plenty of water if the problem is too much salt due to sweat not  being replaced by drinking water. If the problem is a lack of salt (this is usually the case when the person has been working for a long time in a heavy protective suit) a commercially available carbohydrate-electrolyte replacement liquid should be given. Heat Rash

Heat rash is caused by continuous exposure to heat and humid air and aggravated by chafing clothes. The condition decreases the ability to tolerate heat. Typical symptoms are a mild red rash, especially in areas of the body in contact with protective clothing. Expose the affected skin to allow cooling and drying.
