D. Health & Environmental Program

i. Dust Control

An adequate supply of N-95 rated mask will be provided and maintained and where required, the
supervisor will ensure affected site personnel wear them. Wetting of open (unpaved) ground as in
fabrication yards and site temporary facility will be done as frequently as necessary to minimize dust.

Vehicle speed on open (unpaved) areas will be as slow as possible to minimize dust production and
blowing.

Doors and windows of portable offices will be kept closed or sealed to minimize dust accumulation in the
indoor areas. During sandstorm conditions, sandstorm (goggles) will be provided to and worn by site
employees.
ii. Personal Hygiene & Housekeeping

With an ever-increasing amount of hazardous substances being used in the construction and building
industry, the need for personal hygiene standards is paramount.

Hygiene - Basic principles of hygiene should be observed. These include;

a) Wash hands with soap and water before preparing, handling or eating food
b) Use of amenities to maintain personal cleanliness
c) Use of garbage bins in conjunction with a regular disposal system;
d) Hygienic drinking fluids
e) Toilet facilities for the number of workers at the site
Housekeeping - Good housekeeping is the first principle of accident prevention and is conducive to the
safety of all persons in the work place.

a) Work areas are to be kept clean and free of debris and all waste material.
b) Walkways, stairways, passageways and exits must be kept clear to provide unimpeded access or
egress at all times.
c) Spillages of oil, acid or other liquids must be cleaned up immediately.
d) Protruding sharp objects are to be eliminated or removed as soon as they are exposed. This
includes nails in wood, sharp metal edges, scrap metal tins, and broken glass.
e) Food scraps and other refuse must be placed in receptacles provided and emptied regularly.
f) Waste combustible materials must be placed in metal receptacles with a metal lid and
emptied regularly.

E. Ergonomics

a. Manual Handling

Manual handling encompasses more than just lifting or carrying an object. Manual handling can include a variety of
activities for example pulling a control lever, restraining a farm animal or operating power tools. Manual handling of
loads may cause cumulative disorders due to gradual and cumulative deterioration of the musculoskeletal system
through continuous lifting / handling activities, e.g. low back pain. It can also cause acute trauma such as cuts or
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 40 of 97

fractures due to accidents. Employers are required to carry out risk assessments, and take action to protect workers
from the risks of manual handling.

Prevention measures include:

a) Designing and organizing tasks to avoid manual handling completely, or at least restrict it.
b) Using automation and lifting equipment.
c) Organizing manual handling tasks in a safe way, with loads split into smaller ones, and proper rest periods
provided.
d) Providing information and training to workers on tasks, and the use of equipment and correct handling techniques.

Manual handling occurs in almost all working environments (factories, warehouses, building sites, farms, hospitals,
offices etc.). It can include lifting boxes at a packaging line, handling construction materials, pushing carts, handling
patients in hospitals, and cleaning.

b. Manual Handling Hazardous

There are several factors that make manual handling hazardous, and increase the risk of injury. These are called
risk factors. The risk factors, particularly for back injury, are related to 4 aspects of manual handling: the load, the
task, the environment and the individual.

c. The load - The risk of back injury increases during lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling of loads, if the load
is:

o Too heavy - There is no exact weight limit for manual handling. A weight of 20 to 25 kg is heavy to lift for most
people, especially if the load is handled several times in an hour. Note that pushing or pulling often imposes
less loading on the body than lifting or carrying.

o Too large - One basic rule for lifting and carrying is to keep the load as close to the body as possible. In order
to get a broad load close to the body, the worker has to open the arms to reach and hold the load. The arm
muscles cannot produce force when reaching as effectively as with the arms held in close. Thus, the muscles
will get tired more rapidly when handling a large bulky load.

o Difficult to grasp - Loads that are difficult to grasp can result in the object slipping, causing sudden movement of
the load. Gloves usually make grasping more difficult than with bare hands. Providing the objects with handles
or using aids for gripping (e.g. when carrying plate material) reduces the load on the worker. Loads with sharp
edges or of dangerous materials (solids or liquids) can injure workers, especially in the event of a collision.

o Unbalanced, unstable or if the contents can move - With unbalanced objects, it is difficult to hold the center of
gravity of the load close to the middle of the body. This leads to uneven loading of muscles, and fatigue.
Unstable or moving content, such as a liquid, causes uneven loading of the muscles and sudden movements of
the load can make workers lose their balance and fall.

o Difficult to reach - Loads that can only be reached with outstretched arms, or by bending or twisting the trunk,
require more muscular force. The spine may easily be hurt if the trunk is bent or twisted while lifting.

Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 41 of 97

d. The task - The risk of back injury increases if the task:

o Is too strenuous - Tasks may be very demanding if they have to be carried out too frequently or for too long
with insufficient rest or recovery time (e.g. continuous lifting or carrying for long distances, or activities
where the working speed is imposed by a process which cannot be altered by the worker).

e. The environment - The following characteristics of the work environment may increase the risk of back
injury:
o Space available - A lack of space to carry out manual handling may lead to inappropriate body postures and
dangerous imbalance in the loads.
o Floor - Handling loads on different working levels or on floors that are slippery, uneven or unstable (such as
working platforms or fishing boats) may increase the risk of accidents and back injury.
o Climate - The physical climate (temperature, humidity and ventilation) may affect the risk of back injury. Heat
makes you feel tired, and sweat makes it hard to hold tools, requiring more force. Cold can make your hands
numb, making it hard to grip.

o Lighting - Insufficient lighting may increase the risk of accidents when handling loads. It may also make you
work in awkward positions to see clearly what you are doing.
f. The individual - There are also some individual factors that can influence the risk of back injury:

o Experience, training and familiarity with the job (for example, new episodes of low back pain are common in the
first year of employment).
o Age (the risk of low back disorders increases with the number of years at work: the first episode of low back
pain occurs in most people by the age of 30).
o Physical dimensions and capacity (length, weight, strength, etc.).
o Personal lifestyle (smoking may, for example, increase the risk of low back disorders).
o History of back disorders (this is a predictor of future back injuries).
o Willingness to use personal protective equipment (for example, clothing and footwear).

g. Risk assessment of manual handling activities

Employers are required to assess the health and safety risks resulting from working tasks and activities, and
including manual handling. A risk assessment is a careful examination of what in the work could cause harm to
people. It can then be decided whether sufficient precautions have been taken, or whether it is necessary to do
more to prevent harm. The challenge is to eliminate, or at least reduce, the potential for accidents, injury or ill health
that arise from working activities and tasks.

Simple steps can be followed to carry out an effective risk assessment in the workplace:
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 42 of 97

o Look for the hazards that could cause accidents, injuries or ill health, taking into account the load, the task, the
environment and the operatory.
o Decide who might be harmed and how: evaluate the potential consequences of the hazards.
o Decide whether the existing precautions are adequate or whether more should be done find ways to reduce the
risk.
o Monitor the risks, and review preventive measures.

h. Correct handling techniques

o Lifting - Before lifting the load, you should plan and prepare for the task. Make sure that:
 You know where you are going
 The area around the load is clear of obstacles
 Doors are open and there is nothing on the floor that could trip someone or make them slip
 You have a good grip on the load
 Your hands, the load and any handles are not slippery
 If you are lifting with someone else, both of you know what you are doing before you start, you should
adopt the following technique when lifting the load:
 Put your feet around the load and your body over it (if this is not feasible, try to keep your body as close
possible to the load and in front of it)
 Use the muscles of your legs when lifting
 Keep your back straight
 Pull the load as close as possible to your body
 Lift and carry the load with straight arms.

o Pushing and pulling - Pushing and pulling handling devices such as trolleys and barrows are particularly
strenuous for the back, shoulders and arms. It is important that:
 Pushing and pulling is done using the body’s own weight: when pushing you should lean forward, when
pulling you should lean backward
 You have enough grip on the floor in order to lean forward/backward
 You avoid twisting, turning and bending the back
 Handling devices have handles/hand grips that you can use to exert force. Handle height should be
between the shoulder and waist so that you can push/pull in a good, neutral posture
 Handling devices are well-maintained so that the wheels run smoothly
 Floors are hard, even and free from rubbish (good housekeeping).

i. Prevention measures

The negative health effects of manual handling can be prevented by trying to eliminate or at least reduce the risk
factors involved. The following hierarchy of prevention measures should be used:

j. Elimination

First, can the work be designed and organized in such a way that manual handling can be avoided completely, or at
least restricted (e.g. using powered or mechanical handling equipment such as conveyor belts, lift trucks, electric
hoists or gravity-inclined roller track)

k. Technical measures
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 43 of 97

If manual handling cannot be avoided, automation, mechanization and the use of lifting and transport equipment
should be considered (e.g. conveyors, hoists, cranes, vacuum lifting devices, lift tables, pallet trucks, lift trucks,
barrows, trolleys). However, attention should be paid to ensure that new work risks are not created (e.g. through
noise, or hand-arm vibration).

l. Organizational measures
Organizational or administrative measures should only be considered if elimination of manual handling is not
possible, and if technical measures are not effective in reducing the risks involved in manual handling. Heavy or
frequent manual handling tasks should be carried out by several people or, if possible, the amount that is handled
should be reduced or the load split into smaller ones. The rate of manual handling should not be set by a machine,
supervisor or colleagues. The time taken to carry out manual handling tasks should be extended by taking breaks,
or by alternating them with other tasks so that the muscles have time to recover.

F. H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide)

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) also known as hydro sulfuric acid or sewer gas, occurs naturally in crude petroleum,
natural gas, volcanic gases, hot springs and is produced by decomposing organic material. It is an odorless and
highly flammable substance. This highly toxic material is a common byproduct in industries such as food
processing, coke ovens, tanneries, and petroleum refineries.

H2S Poisoning
Exposure to high concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide may result in loss of consciousness or in some cases, death.
The substances toxicity is caused by its effect on cellular respiration (similarly to carbon monoxide & Hydrogen
cyanide).

At low concentration levels H2S is detectable (10-20 ppm) by its pungent smell. However, continued exposure may
numb the sense of smell creating the illusion that the danger has passed.

Symptoms of H2S Exposure

Low Concentrations

Exposure to low concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide may result in:

a) Sore throat
b) Cough shortness of breath
c) Irritation of the eye, nose & throat
High Concentrations
Brief Exposure to High concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide may result in:
a) Loss of consciousness
b) Death

H2S Danger
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 44 of 97

Hydrogen sulfide is heavier then air and thus accumulates in pools in poorly ventilated areas. For this reason the
gas may accumulate in high concentrations. Potential danger places are found in places where organic matter is
decomposing.

Potentially dangerous sites include:

a) Sewage treatment plants
b) Agricultural - manure storage or livestock confinement
c) Textile industries
d) Petroleum or natural gas mining
e) Petroleum or natural gas refining
f) Landfills
Treatment of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) exposure
Workers who are overcome by hydrogen sulphide must be quickly and carefully rescued to ensure that additional
victims are not created in the process. Workers who do not have the necessary protective equipment must not
attempt to rescue others. Rescue workers must be provided with, and wear, a positive pressure supplied air
respirator and other personal protective equipment appropriate to the hazards that are present. Resuscitation must
be prompt and close medical supervision of the individual is required for at least 48 hours following exposure.

First aid measures

Immediately remove the victim from further exposure. Designated rescuers must wear properly fitting, positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and other required safety equipment appropriate to the work
site.
a) If the worker is not breathing, apply cardio-pulmonary resuscitation in the nearest safe area.
b) Remove contaminated clothing, but keep the individual warm.
c) Keep conscious individuals at rest.
d) Be aware of possible accompanying injuries (e.g., the victim may have fallen when they were
overcome) and treat them accordingly.
e) If the victim’s eyes are red and painful, flush with large amounts of clean water for at least 15 minutes.
f) Ensure the worker receives medical care as soon as possible. The worker must not be allowed to
return to work or other activities.

The following table describes the symptoms that may occur at specific H2S levels:

Concentration in parts per

Observations and health effects
million (ppm)*

Less than 1 Most people smell “rotten eggs.”

3 to 5 Odor is strong.

Nose and throat feel dry and irritated. Eyes sting, itch, or water; and “gas eye”
20 to 150 symptoms may occur. Prolonged exposure may cause coughing, hoarseness,
shortness of breath, and runny nose.
150 to 200 Sense of smell is blocked (olfactory fatigue).
Major irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs occurs, along with headache,
200 to 250
nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Prolonged exposure can cause fluid buildup in

INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 45 of 97

the lungs (pulmonary edema), which can be fatal.

Symptoms are the same as above, but more severe. Death can occur within 1 to
300 to 500
4 hours of exposure.

Above 500 Immediate loss of consciousness. Death is rapid, sometimes immediate.

H2S risk factors

The following factors may increase the risk of workers being exposed to unsafe levels of H2S:
a) Confined spaces — Workers who enter a confined space such as a sewer or tank could be overcome by H2S.

b) Smoking and other ignition sources — H2S explodes easily near lit matches, cigarettes, pipes, and other
sources of spark or intense heat. The gas can explode when its concentration in the air ranges from about 4%
(40,000 ppm) to 46% (460,000 ppm).

c) Worker attitude — Workers are more likely to be harmed if they don’t know the hazards of H2S, or if they’re so
used to working with H2S they become lax about safety.

d) Still air — the gas can build up to unsafe levels if there is no breeze or air movement.
e) Contact lenses — Workers who are exposed to H2S should be aware that wearing soft contact lenses may
pose a risk. Soft contact lenses may absorb irritants and hold irritants such as H2S against the eye.

Reducing the H2S risk

The risk of unsafe levels of H2S can be reduced with the following controls:
a) Engineering — where practical, install effective exhaust ventilation.
b) Isolation controls — Isolate workers from dangerous work areas.
c) Regular maintenance — to lessen the risk of leaks, regularly checks pipes, valves, tanks, and containers of
dangerous gases and liquids.
d) Education — Workers must be taught how to prevent and recognize H2S poisoning, and how to give first aid to
those overcome by the gas. Workers must be taught — and practice — how to use protective breathing
equipment.
e) Monitoring — H2S levels must be monitored where there is a risk of H2S exposure.
f) Labeling and posting — Where H2S is used, collected, or produced, all piping and valves that carry the gas
must be clearly identified. Workers must also have easy access to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for
H2S. Wherever an H2S leak or buildup is possible, warning signs bearing “Hydrogen Sulfide” plus precautions
must be posted just outside or at the entrances to the area.
g) Emergency plans — Where H2S is used, employers must train workers in H2S hazards, emergency
procedures, escape routes, and the location of emergency equipment and safe areas.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 46 of 97

h) Confined space precautions — Confined spaces must be tested, ventilated, and confirmed safe before workers
enter them.

i) Proper storage — Keep cylinders containing H2S clean, isolated, shaded, and in a ventilated area. In case of
fire, remove the cylinders (if it is safe to do so) and cool with water.

 Overleap is a table with approximate noise values associated with construction equipment, and noise
limitations and requirements.

a. Noise/ Illumination

Workplace Noise Hazard

Workplace noise hazard is excessive noise generated by work activities such as machineries, operations and
processes. Typical high noise works include machine stamping, use of pneumatic blower, grinding and machine
sawing.

Excessive noise is defined as an equivalent sound pressure level of 85 dBA ( decibels) or more over an 8-hr work
day. If you have to raise your voice when talking to a person who is 1 m away from you, the noise level is likely to be
above 85 dBA.

Short, infrequent exposures to loud noise can cause temporary hearing loss. However, prolonged exposures to
excessive noise can cause permanent hearing loss/noise-induced deafness (NID) which is irreversible.

How to Manage Workplace Noise Hazard and Prevent NID?

Before starting any work which has the potential to generate excessive noise, a risk assessment should be
conducted to determine the risk of noise exposure, and measures should be taken to minimize the risk.

To effectively manage noise hazard, workplaces with workers exposed to excessive noise should implement a
Hearing Conservation Program (HCP). The basic components of a HCP include:

a) Identification of noise hazard and evaluation of noise risks. If 10 or more employees are exposed or likely to be
exposed to excessive noise at your workplace, you should appoint a competent person (Noise Monitoring
Officer) to conduct noise monitoring once every 3 years, or earlier when there are significant changes to
machineries, equipment or processes.

b) Noise control

If 50 or more employees are exposed or likely to be exposed to excessive noise, you should appoint a
competent person (Noise Control Officer) to advice on proper noise control measures.
c) Hearing protection
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 48 of 97

Employees who are exposed to excessive noise should be provided with suitable hearing protectors such as
earplugs or earmuffs.

Control of Noise Processes

Some of the noise control measures which can be implemented to reduce employees’ exposure to excessive noise
include:

a) Specify low noise machineries and equipment during purchase.

b) Perform periodic maintenance of the machineries and equipment, including replacement of worn parts,
adjustment of loose parts and lubrication of moving parts.
c) Relocate noisy machineries and processes to a lesser or non-occupied area.
d) Locate noise sources away from hard reflective surfaces, and from the corner of a room.
e) Minimize the number of noisy machineries running at any one time.
f) Provide and ensure usage of hearing protectors to reduce noise exposure before engineering and
administrative controls are administered, or when controls are not feasible.
In addition, the following control measures are recommended for the common noisy processes:

Grinding

a) Use low noise, flexible grinding discs.

b) Use grinding machines with an automatic balancing system.
c) Operate the grinding tool at an optimal speed recommended by the manufacturer.
d) Select the correct grinding disc for the intended usage.

Pneumatic Blowing

a) Replace existing nozzles with low-noise air nozzles.

b) Fit silencers or pressure regulators at the exhaust.
c) Reduce the air pressure to a level appropriate for the intended usage.

accumulation of leaking gas. A leak could cause an explosion.

g) Before connecting regulators to cylinders, open cylinder valve slowly to blow out any foreign particles.

b. Tools & Portable Power Tools

Tools will be equipped with proper safeguards and used only in applications for which they were designed. Portable
power tools will be of the double insulated type or three-wire grounded type, and will not be rated or used at a
voltage exceeding 125 volts (see section II-10.3, Power Tools, General, of the SA Construction Safety Manual). All
electrical outlets servicing these power tools will be protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) which
meet Saudi Aramco standards. All tools (including portable power tools) will be free from any defect and maintained
in a good operating condition. Saudi Aramco reserves the right to reject, remove from site or destroy tools and
portable power tools found to be defective or of substandard quality. “Homemade”, including “Shop-made”, tools are
strictly prohibited.

SINO HYDRO will ensure the following safety measures as a minimum, for all jobs where hand tools and portable
power tools are used. Tools do not cause injury. It is people using the wrong tool for a job, using tools in poor
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 55 of 97

condition, using tools the wrong way, or failing to store and maintain tools properly that provides the dangerous
element for accidents with tools.

Following these common sense and safety rules, your job with tools will be safer.

i. Hand Tools

The misuse of common hand tools is a major source of injury to the workers. In many instances, injury
results because it is assumed that “anybody knows how to use” common hand tools. Observations of the
records of injuries show that this is not the case.

As supervisor, you should study and train new employees and re-train old employees on correct
procedures for using tools and advise them on the hazards of the job and insist on their using the safest
equipment for each task. All tools will be inspected prior to use on a daily basis.
a) All edge cutting tools should be used in such a way that, if a slip occurs, the direction of force will be
away from the body.
b) Hand tools will be regularly cleaned and, where necessary, slightly oiled to prevent corrosion.
c) Non-conductive and properly insulated hand tools will be used in areas where activities are exposed to
electrical risks.
d) Appropriate hand tools will be used depending upon the nature of work, as determined by SINO
HYDRO & Subcontractors foreman or supervisor.
e) All applicable requirements of the Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual on Hand Tools and
Power Tools will be adhered to on the project.
f) Home-made” or cannibalized hand tools are prohibited.

ii. Power Tools

Portable power tools are divided into four primary groups according to the power sources; Electric,
Pneumatic, Internal combustion, and cartridge (powder actuated).

The tools are used exclusively for penetration work and cutting. A portable power tool presents similar
hazards as a stationary machine of the same kind. Typical injuries caused by portable power tools are
burns, shock, particle in the eyes, fires, falls, explosion of gases, and falling tools.

The extreme mobility of power driven tools can easily come in contact with the operator’s body. At the
same time, it is difficult to guard such equipment completely.

All companies and manufacturers of portable power tools attach to each tool, a set of safety rules for
operating the equipment safely. It is every individual’s responsibility to read the manufacturer’s instruction
before operating any power tools. This data to be prominently displayed either on a name plate of the
power tools or kept in a file for power tools.

All portable power tools used on site will be of good quality, free from any defects, all power tools will be
double insulated or used in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit interrupter (GFCI). Power tools will not
exceed 125volts and conform to standard lay down in the Aramco Construction Safety Manual Section 11,
Chapter 10.3. Handheld power tools having the capability of being locked in the “ON” position must have
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 56 of 97

this ability neutralized. Lock-on buttons may be removed or the tool may be re-wired by a competent
electrician.

a) A periodic inspection of all power tools will be conducted by an Electrical Supervisor to ensure proper
maintenance.

b) Rotating tools such as grinders will be switched off and held until rotation has completely stopped
before they are set down. All portable power tools will be equipped with properly functioning "dead
man" switch.
c) Only competent persons will be allowed to operate portable power tools.
d) Frayed cords or damage plugs will be promptly removed from use and replaced.

e) ONLY the designated competent maintenance personnel will repair defective power tools.

f) No grinder will be used without a guard properly in place. A grinder without a guard will be immediately
removed from the site. All grinders will be marked with the designated maximum running speed and
must be ensured that the maximum speed of the spindle does not at any time exceed the maximum
speed marked on the grinding disc or wheel.

g) Electrical hand tools, power cords and outlets must be kept dry and will not be used unless protected
with GFCI.

h) Extension cords will be of three-wire conductor type and will be kept as short as possible. Cords which
are subject to physical damage such as when laid across roads and access ways, will be appropriately
protected or where possible, rerouted.
i) Use both hands, have good footing and be comfortable. Do not try to operate power tools while in a
bind, be ready to release the power switch or trigger.

j) Keep all loose fitting clothing as well as hair clear of rotating parts on tools and equipment’s.

k) Use proper eye/ face protection, inform people around you to protect themselves from possible flying
objects.

l) Keep tools in peak condition. Don’t force the tools or use “cheaters” to increase working

m) Limit beyond the capacity of the tools. Don’t abuse tools; use them properly.

iii. Pneumatic Tools

Only trained personnel will be allowed to operate pneumatic tools such as an impact wrench, jack hammer,
chipping hammer, etc. The tool is fitted into the gun and receives its impact from a rapidly moving
reciprocating piston driven by compressed air at about 90 psi pressure.

Handling of heavy jackhammers causes fatigue and strain. Two chippers should work away from each
other, that is, back to back, to prevent face cuts from flying chips. Workers should not point a pneumatic
hammer at anyone, nor should they stand in front of operators handling pneumatic hammers.

Many accidents are caused, because the operator may lose balance and fall when operating the
jackhammer. Follow the Safety precautions prior to use.

a) Those connections will be made by a proper hose coupler and additionally secured by safety wire.
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 57 of 97

b) Pneumatic tools when used at elevated locations will be tied off with a string against a stable structure
or support to hold the tools in the event of accidental fall or loss of control of the operator.

c) The operator will ensure a firm grip and control of pneumatic tools during the operation.

d) Hearing protection (ear plugs) will be worn by the operator and affected personnel where the use of
pneumatic tools creates a high noise condition.

iv. Inspection of Tools

All hand tools, power tools and pneumatic tools will be inspected before and after use and before storage.
Any defective tool will be immediately withdrawn from use, marked "DO NOT USE" and returned to store
room for necessary repair or disposal. SINO HYDRO store keeper will check every returned tool and
ensure that defective ones are plainly identified and isolated from the others. He will also ensure that
complete records of tools issued, repaired or disposed of is available for inspection.

The monthly safety inspection color code to be implemented by a competent person as per applicable tools
and equipment’s will be referenced on the following.

MONTHLY SAFETY INSPECTION COLOR CODE

GREEN RED BLUE YELLOW

SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

b. Ladders

SINO HYDRO will ensure that only metal, fiberglass, or timber ladders meeting Saudi Aramco standards are provided and
used for ingress to and egress from work places, where other means of ingress and egress are not available. (See section II-
9, “Elevated Work Areas, Ladders and Scaffolds,” of the Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual and the Saudi Aramco
Scaffold Safety Handbook).

SINO HYDRO will ensure that each supervisor is responsible for ensuring that every man working under his direction or
control has a safe working place and a safe means of getting to and from every working place. Where work cannot safely be
done on the ground or from part of building or permanent structure, scaffolding, ladder, or other means of support will be
provided and properly maintained.

Falls from ladders are caused by improper use or a defect in the ladder’s structure. Falls from ladders can be eliminated by
the following rules and requirements, SINO HYDRO will ensure that the following safety measures are observed.

i. Ladders and Step Ladders

The safety of ladder depends on four important factors, that is, selection, condition, position, and use.
Ladders will comply with referenced Saudi Aramco requirements and all other Construction Safety Manual
requirements.
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 58 of 97

Job made ladders will be constructed to conform exactly to Aramco standards. Job made ladders brought
on site will be inspected before use by the SINO HYDRO competent person/Safety Supervisor to ensure
its conformance to Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual.
All straight ladders will be tied off at top and bottom.

ii. Selection

All ladders must be of proper length for the job to be done. If it is to be used for access to a working place,
it will rise to a height 3’ feet above landing place.

Metal ladder, or ladders with metal reinforced side rails, and ladders which are wet will not be used near
electrical equipment

iii. Condition

Each Ladder will be examined before use, those with split or broken side rails, missing, broken, loose,
decayed or damaged runs or cleats will be tagged and removed from service.

iv. Position

Side rails of a ladder will be equally supported on a firm level surface, Box, blocks, barrels, etc. will not be
used as a means of support. Whenever possible, ladders will be set at an angle of 75 degree to horizontal
ground (i.e., one foot out to four feet up).

Both side rails of a ladder will be evenly supported at the upper resting place. Side rails must be securely
tied off to prevent movement. Where secure fixing is impracticable, other measures must be taken to
prevent movement by securing at the base, using side guys, or stationing a man at the base.

Where there is a possibility of a ladder being struck by moving vehicle or equipment, a stand by man
should be placed on guard or space at the base should be securely fenced off. If you erect a ladder
close to a door way, the door should either be locked or kept in an open position with a man on
guard or properly barricaded.

Where ladders have to be suspended, both side rails will be lashed top and bottom so as to provide equal
support. Where long ladders are used, they will also be lashed at the center to prevent lateral movement.

v. Use

Where an extension ladder is fully extended, the minimum overlap depends on the extension ladder length,
and overlap should be as follows:
a) 9.75 to 10.97 meters = 1.22 meters overlap
b) 10.97 to 14.63 meters = 1.52-meter overlap
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 59 of 97

c) Splicing or lashing ladder together will not be permitted.

Before mounting a ladder, personnel will check their shoes for freedom from grease, oil or mud.

If a Ladder is to provide the only means of egress or access from a working area for 25 or more
employees, or if simultaneous two –way traffic is expected, a double cleat ladder will be installed.
Single cleat ladder will not exceed 4.5 meters (15 feet) in length between supports (base and top landing).

Ladders will be properly secured.

Inclined ladders will be positioned such that it makes an angle of approximately 1:4 of the working length of
the ladder with the horizontal.

All ladders (vertical or inclined ladders) will extend at Site 36 inches above the stepping off point or landing.

Spliced ladders are prohibited.

Ladder landings will be provided at Site every nine (9) meters (30 feet) of height and equipped with
complete guard rails and toe boards. There will be no continuous length of ladder in excess of 30 feet
without a landing.

Access ladders will not be obstructed at any time and will be kept free of any tripping hazards.

Ladders with any sign of defect will be immediately marked and disposed of or removed from the work site.

vi. Electrical Installation & Equipment

All material and equipment used in temporary electrical installations will meet Saudi Aramco standards, including
SA Construction Safety Manual (Section IV-1, Electricity), SINO HYDRO will ensure that all 125-volt, single phase
15 and 20 ampere receptacle outlets, which are not part of the permanent wiring of any building or structure will
have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) for personal protection.

Every piece of electrical equipment is a potential source of electric shock. Even through an electric shock is too
small to cause injury it may trigger an involuntary reaction that results in physical injury; for example, after touching
a live wire, a person may lose his balance and fall off a ladder or scaffolding.

Obviously, design, layout, installation, and preventive maintenance programs can minimize such incidents on live or
‘hot’ electrical equipment. An effective electrical safety policy coupled with an employee training and hazard
awareness program can further prevent electrical shocks.

To minimize electrical related injuries, it is important to follow basic safety precautions to avoid such an accident. All
temporary electrical installations and equipment on the project will conform to Saudi Aramco CSM and National
Electrical Code (NEC).
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:

INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 60 of 97

Voltage specifications for the job will be 110/220 volts will be considered for construction tools. Extension cords will
be kept clear of walkways, water pools, and other locations where they may be exposed to damage, create trip
hazards, or set up other hazardous conditions. Color tagging, following inspection by a qualified electrician, of hand-
held power tools, GFCI units, all electrical equipment/boards, outlets, extension cords, table saws, appliances, and
etc. is required monthly. It is understood a color scheme has been provided and this requirement is subject to
change.

vii. Minimum safety measures that SINO HYDRO will ensure on the project include but not limited to the following:

- Power sources and portable electric power tools shall be of a single voltage (220 V nominal) within a
single job site or operating area. Portable electric power tools shall match the supplied power source
voltage.
- Portable electric power tools shall be certified by an independent testing and certification service such
as Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL), Factory Mutual (FM) or KEMA-KEUR (or equivalent* as specified
in writing by the SA Loss Prevention Department) and shall bear the appropriate certifying agency
mark. See Figure 11.2.

* Note: CE marking is not equivalent to an independent certification by a recognized body. CE marking

(Conformity European) indicates only the manufacturer’s declaration of conforming to the legal
requirements to achieve CE marking.

a) Distribution of electrical power on construction site is different from permanent installation. Distribution
boards and supply cable must be properly installed and protected from accidental damage.

b) All materials used will be of an approved type and in good condition.

c) All portable electric tools must be well maintained and provided 3 core grounded cable and proper
plugs. Approved double insulated or all insulated tools may be used without a ground wire. Double
insulation does not protect against defects in the cords, plug, and receptacle. Continuous inspection
and maintenance are required.

d) When cords are not in use, they should be disconnected and neatly stored. Cords should be stored in
a dry room they should not be exposed to excessively cold or hot temperatures.

e) A visual electrical inspection should be made of the extension cord each time it is used. Cords with
cracked or worn insulation or damaged ends should be removed from service immediately. Cords with
the grounding prong missing or cut off must also be removed from service.

f) All connections will be made with approved and proper connectors. When cords must cross
passageway, whether vehicular or personnel, cords should be protected and identified with
appropriate warning. Cords should be used in this manner only for temporary or emergency use.

 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 75 of 97

Fuel
Heat
Oxygen

The basic strategy of fire prevention is to control or isolate sources of fuel and heat in order to prevent
combustion. If all three are not present in sufficient quantities a fire will not ignite or a fire will not be able to
sustain combustion

- Materials and equipment will be maintained and used in order to prevent the possibility of fire spread or
explosion
- Inspect all areas of your workplace for fire hazards on a regular basis.
- Educate employees about fire hazards
- Have the right fire extinguishers for the fire hazards in your workplace.
- Have maintenance check extinguishers regularly
- Store materials safely. Keep storage areas well ventilated and free of ignition sources.
- Dispose of wastes promptly and correctly. Don’t allow combustible waste materials to build up
- Emphasize good housekeeping.
- All work areas should be clean and free of fire hazards
- Make sure ventilation systems operate effectively to remove flammable vapors, gases, and combustible dust
from the air Service machines regularly. Set up an adequate maintenance schedule, and make sure
employees follow it.
- Materials will not be stored in a manner that obstructs or conceals fire points, sprinkler heads, alarms,
emergency exits, electrical panels and walkways, floor openings or hoist-ways
- Consideration will be given to the fire loading imposed in an area by the placement of materials
- Pay careful attention to electrical safety. Check electrical circuits, outlets, wires, and plugs regularly so that
an electrical problem does not start a fire. Firefighting equipment will be readily available and accessible.
Areas around fire extinguishers, hydrant, hoses and other firefighting equipment will be kept free of
obstruction. As per GI-178.001, SINO HYDRO will inspect the firefighting equipment and maintain record
and provide to the SAPMT upon request
- SINO HYDRO will trained the designated site personnel in the use of various types of firefighting equipment
on site as per Chapter I-7, Fire Prevention, of the SACSM
- Smoking will be permitted only in designated areas.

SINO HYDRO will provide and maintain in good working order suitable firefighting equipment as per provisions
stated on Section I - 11.8 Emergency Equipment, of the Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual. All SINO
HYDRO personnel will be properly trained in the use of such equipment. Storage lay down and fabrication yards will
be laid out in accordance with Saudi Aramco Standards (SAES-B-017; SAES-B-019) and NFPA 231 with respect to
the spacing of rows, fire lanes and compatibility of material.
Reference: G.I. 1781.001, Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Fire Protection Equipment; G.I. 1787.000, Report
of Fire, Emergency or False Alarm; and section I -11, Fire Prevention, of the SACSM.

Fire spreads from an ignition source to a fuel source or other fuel sources by Conduction, Convection and
Radiation.

a) Conduction - Transfer of heat through contact with solid material.

b) Convection - Transfer of heat through heated air.
c) Radiation - Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves given off by flames.

j) During the mobilization stage or site preparation, the anticipated minimum quantity of fire extinguishing
equipment required will be determined.
xxxi. Temporary site facility layout:
This facility will be laid-out and constructed such that, the following factors are taken into account:
 Stationary equipment i.e. generators, power distribution panels are obstruction free and separated
from flammable and combustibles.
 Designated area for hot work operations such as welding, cutting, grinding, etc. are isolated from
flammable or combustible materials such as paints, solvents, acetylene or work area that may create
or increase potential risk to fire such as carpentry shops.
 Orderly arrangement of equipment, materials and portable buildings to prevent congestion of activities
and traffic.
 As soon as the temporary site facility is completed, the required quantity of fire extinguisher equipment
will be installed without delay at the strategic locations as planned.
 After the temporary facility is provided with adequate fire extinguishing equipment, it must be insured
that enough spare fire extinguishing equipment is available, for use at the work site.

xxxii. Hot Works:

The following rules are adhered to when a Hot Work is being preceded:

a) No hot work will be conducted in the presence of or close to flammable or combustible materials.
b) Materials used for wind protection, or spark containment for welding work will be made of fire proof type
material, i.e. silica fire blanket, or properly secured light weight corrugated steel sheets.
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:

INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 77 of 97

c) A fire watch will be designated wherever hot work is performed, to monitor the condition of affected and
surrounding area, stop hot work if necessary and ensure that the crew is in total compliance with the fire safety
requirement as written on the work permit.
d) One unit of 9 kg. ABC dry chemical fire extinguishers will be provided for each location where hot work is being
performed.
e) A post-inspection will be conducted by the concerned crew and responsible supervisor at the affected vicinity
after all hot work, and before quitting time, to detect possible smoldering fires due to stray hot slag.
f) The responsible foreman and crew will conduct routine daily inspection of first-aid and fire extinguishers at the
work area.
g) Fire watch to be assigned at all welding operations. The Fire watches will be knowledgeable of his
responsibilities and will remain at the site of the welding for at least one and half hour following the cessation of
welding works.

xxxiii. Smoking:
Smoking will be allowed in designated smoking areas approved as per SA Facility Instructions.

xxxiv. Reporting a Fire

All fires including those extinguished by SINO HYDRO will be reported to Saudi Aramco Site
Representative. A preliminary report will be submitted followed by a detailed report. All fire incidents will be
reported and documented as per GI 1787.000 - Report of Fire Emergency or False Alarm.

xxxv. Fire Extinguisher and Training

SINO HYDRO will ensure that all site personnel on the project are trained in the proper usage of fire
extinguishers.

Fire extinguisher
There are three type of fire extinguishers normally found at the construction site: Water type, Carbon
dioxide, dry chemical –“B” and dry chemical powder (DCP) types. All employees should be aware of the
firefighting equipment available on site and be familiar on how to use it.
a) Water type Fire Extinguisher
Class A fire: Pressurized water system to be used only on a fire involving ordinary combustible
materials such as wood, paper, clothing, and some rubber and plastic materials.

b) Carbon Dioxide Type Extinguisher

Class C fire: The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) type extinguisher is normally used for controlling electrical
fires. Fire involving energized electrical equipment, such as motors, switch gears, circuits and control
panels are to be extinguished using carbon dioxide or DCP fire extinguisher.

CAUTION: A carbon dioxide Extinguisher should never use in closed area where people are present,
because the gas displaces oxygen from the immediate environment. When oxygen level in the
environment is reduced sufficiently to put out a fire, the oxygen level is also incapable of supporting
human life.
c) Dry Chemical – “B”
Class B type Fire: A dry chemical type extinguisher is normally used in controlling of Flammable or
combustible liquids, Flammable gases, Grease, and similar materials, and some rubber and plastic
materials.

occurs.
Learn your emergency procedures, if in doubt, ask your supervisor. Always know your fire instructions.
Find out how to sound the alarm and be sure about the fire escapes, emergency exits and master point
stations.
A fire plan indicating locations of fire extinguishers, fire water barrels with buckets, access ways, trash
collection points, office buildings shops, etc. will be established and kept displayed at the site office
complex. Assembly points will also be indicated in the plan.

Fire can be extinguished by any one or any combination of the following:

a) Removing the heat
b) Removing Oxygen
c) Removing Fuel

xxxvii. Fire Watch

1. Introduction

The construction environment is complex, physically demanding, and hazardous, and workers engaged in
construction operations must be physically, mentally, and emotionally qualified to perform their jobs safely.
Employee fitness can affect the worker's own safety as well as that of coworkers. This is particularly important if
any employee: operates powered, hazardous, or dangerous equipment or vehicles, or performs other
hazardous or dangerous duties; has a contagious, communicable, or infectious illness or disease; or has any
other physical or mental condition that could impose a significant risk of harm to the employee or others.

2. Required Disclosures

The Company has established the following rules for the protection of all employees and non-employees who
may be on our premises or working with our employees.

3. Employees with Hazardous/Dangerous Duties

If the employee’s job requires the operation of powered, hazardous, or dangerous equipment or vehicles, or is
otherwise hazardous or dangerous, the employee must immediately notify his immediate supervisor or the
Human Resources Department, prior to commencing any work of the following:

a) Whether he is using any prescription or over-the-counter medication that may cause drowsiness, ability to
concentrate and/or focus, light-headedness or dizziness, or any other symptom that could impair the
employee’s ability to properly and safely operate the equipment or vehicle or to perform
hazardous/dangerous duties, or that contains a caution about or prohibition against operating equipment or
vehicles;

b) Whether he has any condition (such as lack of adequate sleep, fatigue, side effects of alcohol or drug
consumption, anxiety, stress, distraction due to personal problems, or impairment of the employee’s
physical or mental fitness for duty for any reason), and regardless of whether the employee is or is not
taking prescription or over-the-counter medication for same, if the employee’s current physical or mental
condition could impair the employee’s ability to properly and safely operate the equipment or vehicle or to
perform hazardous/dangerous duties;

c) Whether he has any physical or medical condition that normally requires medical and/or personal
monitoring, special diet, or the use of mitigating or assistance devices (other than ordinary eyeglasses and

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 82 of 97

If any employee learns that he may have a contagious, communicable, or infectious illness or disease of a
temporary nature (such as influenza, staph infection, measles, chicken pox, SARS or severe acute
respiratory syndrome, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis A and B, colds, Avian or bird flu, swine flu, and other
viruses), the employee is not to report to work, but is required instead to immediately notify the Human
Resources Department by phone of the situation and for further guidance and instructions. If any employee
learns that another employee may have a contagious, communicable, or infectious illness or disease of a
temporary nature, the employee who learns of this information is to immediately notify the Human
Resources Department.
b) Safety Threat.

If any employee believes that he or any other employee may constitute a risk of serious harm to the safety
or health of the employee or others (e.g., physical or mental impairment to safely function in the workplace
and safely perform essential job duties, threats or acts of violence, suicidal thoughts or acts, etc.), the
employee is to immediately notify the Human Resources Department of the situation and for further
guidance and instructions.

5. Procedure

In the event of a disclosure required by this policy or if the Company has reasonable cause to believe that an
employee may pose a risk of harm to the health or safety of the employee or others, the Company will evaluate
the situation to determine if the employee is fit for duty and/or might cause a significant risk of substantial harm
to self or others. The Company may require a statement from the employee’s health care provider that the
employee’s continued employment poses no significant risk to the health or welfare of the employee, other
employees, or third parties, and such other information as may be relevant. In addition, the Company may
require a fitness for duty and/or direct threat/safety evaluation by the employee’s or a Company-designated
health care provider.

If the Company determines that the employee is not fit for duty and/or may pose a significant risk of substantial
harm to self or others, the Company may remove the employee from work, assign other duties that the
employee is able to safely perform, place the employee on temporary leave, and/or take such other action as
may be appropriate.

Employees will not be denied access to the workplace solely on the grounds that they have a contagious,
communicable, or infectious illness or disease. However, the Company reserves the right to exclude a person
with such a medical condition from workplace facilities and contact with others if the Company finds that, based
on a medical determination, such restriction is necessary for the welfare of the person who has the medical
condition or if necessary for the health and welfare of others.

xl. Work Permit

Work Permit System allows central control and monitoring of activities/works on site and to particularly ensure that
activities are authorized, carried out by qualified personnel. A written permit to work system provides formal written
procedures and formal actions to ensure that potentially hazardous activities are carried out as safely as possible.

The work permit is a written document and includes:

 Competent persons to carry out the work activities.
 Warns of possible hazards associated with the work.
 Clearly states the HSE precautions to be taken for the work to be carried out safely.
 The permit specifies the particular equipment and construction methods to be implemented.
 The extent of the work.
 Conditions to be observed.
 Duration of the permit.

xli. Type of Work Permit

1. Cold Work Permit - A cold work permit is required for work or activity inside the site that does
generally not produce a source of ignition such as general work, painting and cleaning etc.

2. Hot Work Permit - A hot work permit is required when tools and equipment that produce a source
of ignition (flames, sparks and electrical arcs), are used inside area such as welding, gouging and
cutting etc.

For hot works inside a confined space, a confined space entry permit will be taken first before
any hot work permit can be received. All requirements for entry to a confined space will be
complied with and completed before entry will be allowed.

3. Confined Space Entry Permit - A confined space entry permit is required for worker activity in all
areas of confined space hazards atmospheres. Hazardous atmospheres are normally found in
confined space areas. These areas may contain toxic/flammable gases and oxygen deficiency
lower than 19.5%. For example, working in Storage tanks, manholes and man way, underground
utility tunnel & vaults.

4. Release gas Work Permit - The purpose of the Release of Hazardous Liquids or Gases Permit
process is to ensure proper planning and precautions during work activities where the potential
release of hazardous liquids or gases may occur. A Release Permit is required for potential
releases and includes the actual or possible release of low flash point (below 54 °C/130 °F)
liquids, liquids at or above their flash point, or injurious materials in amounts that could create a
hazard. This permit is not intended to authorize a release but to ensure proper precautions are in
place for a potential release.

xlii. Validity of work permit

According to site condition, one shift of the work may be defined as the working hours from 06:00 hours to
18:00 hours. SINO HYDRO may consider that Work Permit will be valid for one shift, twelve (12) hours.

CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 84 of 97

xliii. Work Permit Extension

Any activity that is beyond the normal working shift will be referred to as extended works. The Work Permit
will be re-validated after reviewing/signing of the work permit. All work permits issued for a specified
duration of the work can be extended via proper procedure up to maximum seven (7) consecutive working
days. In addition, any extension of work permit must be authorized and signed by the Work Permit Issuer.
xliv. Work Resumption

The Permit Issuer will approve resumption of work by signing and notifying the time and date of
revalidation.

xlv. Suspension of Work Permit

Any work permit will be suspended whenever an unidentified & potential hazard is found without adequate
control measures to be provided, whenever the control measures are not being complied with, or whenever
the requirement of the permit was not complied by those who are performing the specific work.

xlvi. Cancellation of Work Permit

The cancellation of work permit will be signed by the Permit Issuer in the presence of Permit Receiver.
Whenever a Work Permit is to be cancelled/ or withdrawn. The cancelled Work Permits cannot be used
and new Work Permit will be required.

xlvii. Completion

At the completion of the Work Permit, the Permit Receiver will close the permit and endorsed to Permit
Receiver for his confirmation.

Note: Completed Permits will be kept in a master file to maintain history of work carried out. These
documents in some cases can be used in Litigation and should be treated as Legal documents.

xlviii. Handling of Issued Work Permit

The receiver of a work permit will keep a copy of the work permit in his possession or within reach at the
job site for the duration of the job so that it may be presented for safety inspection or cancellation. He must
remain at the job site for the whole duration of the work. He may leave the job site temporarily by handing
over the work permit for the short period to another authorized receiver after getting permission from the
issuer.

xlix. Closing Out and Filing Work Permit

Work permit will be closed out after each work has been completed. This should be done at the issuer’s
office as soon as possible after the completion of the job. All rules relating to SA Work Permit closing out
procedure will be observed.

l. Gas Testing

Gas testing will be done by a certified gas tester, and will be completed prior to work permit signature.
Before starting any hot work, check the space for any flammable or explosive mixture and for oxygen
content. In all cases both the work permits issuer and receiver will hold the responsibility for the control of
all work permits issued on site. All operations connected with the construction, maintenance and inspection
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 85 of 97

of plant and equipment must be carried out with full regard to safety of personnel and equipment. The
permit to work is used to specify the detailed condition of work and must be strictly observed.

li. Heat Stress

Four environmental factors affect the amount of stress a worker faces in a hot work area: temperature, humidity,
radiant heat (such as from the sun or a furnace) and air velocity. Perhaps most important to the level of stress an
individual faces are personal characteristics such as age, weight, fitness, medical condition and acclimatization to
the heat.

The body reacts to high external temperature by circulating blood to the skin which increases skin temperature and
allows the body to give off its excess heat through the skin. However, if the muscles are being used for physical
labor, less blood is available to flow to the skin and release the heat.

Heat-related illnesses

a) Heat rash (plugged sweat glands)

b) Heat cramps (sweating has caused salt loss)
c) Heat exhaustion
d) Heat stroke (very serious— fatal)
lii. Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is when your body cannot keep blood flowing both to vital organs and to the skin for
cooling.

Symptoms:
a) Weakness, feeling faint
b) Headache
c) Breathlessness
d) Nausea or vomiting
e) Difficulty continuing work.

Treatment:

Get medical aid and cool down (move to a shaded area, loosen clothing, drink cool water). It takes 30
minutes at least to cool the body down from heat exhaustion, and if it’s not treated promptly, it can lead to
heat stroke.

liii. Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. We can die from it. Body has used up all its water and salt and
cannot cool itself. Body temperature rises to dangerous levels.

Symptoms:

a) Confusion and irrational behavior

b) Convulsions
c) Unconsciousness
d) No sweating—hot, dry skin
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 86 of 97

e) High body temperature—40°C or more.

Treatment:

If a co-worker shows symptoms of heat stroke, the respondent should act fast.

a) Call the local emergency number or get the worker to a hospital.

b) Take aggressive steps to cool the worker down (immerse in a tub of cool water or cool shower, spray
with a hose, wrap in cool, wet sheets and fan rapidly).
c) If the worker is unconscious, don’t give anything to drink.

liv. Ways to Prevent Heat Stress

a) Drink plenty of cool water (one small cup every 15-20 minutes)
b) Wear light, loose-fitting, breathable (like cotton) clothing.
c) Take your breaks away from heat sources or direct sunlight. (Allow your body to cool down).
d) Avoid eating large meals before working in hot environments.
e) Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages (these beverages make the body lose water and increase
the risk for heat illnesses).
lv. Stop Work Authority (SWA)

This program formally establishes the Stop Work Authority (SWA) of all Company employees to suspend individual
tasks or group operations when the control of HSE risk is not clearly established or understood.

It is the policy of Company that:

a) All employees and have the authority and obligation to stop any task or operation where concerns or
questions regarding the control of HSE risk exist.
b) No work will resume until all stop work issues and concerns have been adequately addressed, and
c) Any form of retribution or intimidation directed at any individual or company for exercising their
authority as outlined in this program will not be tolerated.

lvi. Roles and Responsibilities

a. Employees

In supporting safe execution of work, all personnel, have the following responsibilities:

 The responsibility and authority to stop work or decline to perform an assigned task without fear of
reprisal, to discuss and resolve work and safety concerns. The Stop Work may include
discussions with co-workers, supervision, or safety representative to resolve work related issues,
address potential unsafe conditions, clarify work instructions, propose additional controls, etc.

 The responsibility and authority to initiate a Stop Work IMMEDIATELY, without fear of reprisal,
when the employee believes a situation exists which places himself, a coworker(s), or the
environment in danger or at risk.

 The responsibility to report any activity or condition the employee believes is unsafe or for which
they have initiated a Stop Work. Notification should be made to the affected worker(s) and to the
supervisor or their supervisor’s designee at the location where the activity or condition exists.
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 87 of 97

b. Management / Supervisor / Person-in-Charge

Management and supervision are committed to promptly resolve issues resulting from an employee-
raised Stop Work. Management (e.g., Directors, Managers, and Supervisors) responsibilities are to:

 Resolve any issues that have resulted in an individual stopping a specific task(s) or activity.
 Notify the employer’s Safety Representative and the Client Safety Representative, when
bargaining unit personnel are affected, if a raised stop work issue has not been resolved.
 Ensure no actions are taken as reprisal or retribution against individuals who raise safety
concerns or stop an activity they believe is unsafe.
 If a stop work is not brought up by a bargaining unit employee, but does impact bargaining unit
personnel, then also notify the union safety representative.

c. Safety Representatives

HSE in support of operations is responsible for monitoring compliance with the requirements of this
program, maintenance of associated documents, processes and training materials, identification of
trends, sharing of learning and publication of required scorecards.

 Assist employees, supervision and management in the resolution of safety issues and concerns.
 Immediately contact management and work to resolve issues when an employee has called a
situation to their attention that has not been resolved.
 Discuss resolution with employees involved in a work stoppage where resolution was completed
after their shift or when they were unavailable, or where he/she acted as their representative in
reaching resolution.
 Work as the agent of an employee that prefers to remain anonymous to work directly in the
resolution of the stop work.

lvii. Intervention Protocol

In general terms, the SWA process involves a stop, notify, correct and resume approach for the resolution
of a perceived unsafe work actions or conditions.

Much like behavior based safety processes, a workforce that clearly understands how to initiate, receive
and respond to a “stop work” intervention is more likely to participate. Though obvious to some, the
following protocol creates an environment where people know how to act and respond.

Though situations may differ, the following steps should be the framework for all stop work interventions.
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 88 of 97

Steps:

When a person identifies a perceived unsafe condition, act, error, omission, or lack of understanding that could result in
1.
an undesirable event, a “stop work intervention will be immediately initiated with the person(s) potentially at risk.
If the supervisor is readily available and the affected person(s) are not in immediate risk, the “stop work action” should
2. be coordinated through the supervisor. If the supervisor is not readily available or the affected person(s) are in
immediate risk, the “stop work” intervention should be initiated directly with those at risk.
“Stop work” interventions should be initiated in a positive manner by briefly introducing yourself and starting a
3. conversation with the phrase “I am using my stop work authority because…”. Using this phrase will clarify the user’s
intent and set expectations as detailed in this procedure.
Notify all affected personnel and supervision of the stop work issue. If necessary, stop associated work activities,
4.
remove person(s) from the area, stabilize the situation and make the area as safe as possible.
5. All parties will discuss and gain agreement on the stop work issue.
If determined and agreed that the task or operation is OK to proceed as is (i.e., the stop work initiator was unaware of
6.
certain facts or procedures) the affected persons should thank the initiator for their concern and proceed with the work.
If determined and agreed that the stop work issue is valid, then every attempt should be made to resolve the issue to all
7.
affected person’s satisfaction prior to the commencement of work.
If the stop work issue cannot be resolved immediately, work will be suspended until proper resolution is achieved. When
opinions differ regarding the validity of the stop work issue or adequacy of the resolution actions, the location’s “person
8.
in charge” will make the final determination. Details regarding differences of opinion and resolution actions should be
included in the documented report.
Positive feedback should be given to all affected employees regarding resolution of the stop work issue. Under no
9. circumstances should retribution be directed at any person(s) who exercise in good faith their stop work authority as
detailed in this program.
10. All stop work interventions and associated detail will be documented and reported as detailed in this program.

lviii. Follow-up

It is the desired outcome of any ‘stop work’ intervention that the identified safety concerns be addressed to
the satisfaction of all involved persons prior to the resumption of work. Although most issues can be
adequately resolved in a timely fashion at the job site, occasionally additional investigation and corrective
actions may be required to identify and address root causes.

“Stop Work” interventions that required additional investigation or follow-up will be handled utilizing existing
protocols and procedures for incident investigation and follow-up.
lix. Recognition

In order to build and reinforce a culture in which SWA is freely exercised and accepted, line supervisors
are encouraged to positively recognize employee and contractor participation in the program.

Minimally, each line supervisor should informally recognize individuals when they exercise their authority to
“stop work” or demonstrate constructive participation in a “stop work” intervention. This informal
recognition need be no more than an expression of appreciation for a job well done or the awarding of a
nominal item (hat, gloves, flashlight, gift certificates, etc.) of recognition.
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 89 of 97

The HSE department will regularly publish selected “stop work” actions that occurred throughout the
company, recognizing those responsible for their support of the SWA program and contribution to HSE
continuous improvement.

lx. Training

Training regarding this SWA Policy and Program will be conducted as part of all new employee and
contractor orientations. Additionally, a review of the SWA Policy will be completed as part of all field
location safety briefings and regularly in safety meetings.

 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 92 of 97

promptly to the Company Representative. In addition, Saudi Aramco may convene an engineering review
or investigation committee in accordance with the requirements of G.I. 6.000, Notification Requirements for
Incidents (Including Fires); and G.I. 6.003, Guide for Committees Investigating Major Incidents and
Engineering Reviews of Other Incidents.

Sino hydro will maintain, in a format approved by the Company representative, a current record showing
all:

 Work Injuries
 Fires
 Incidents or property damage over SR10,000
 Motor vehicle accidents (MVA)
 Incidents involving damage to Saudi Aramco equipment and property
 Damage and all accidents involving cranes and heavy equipment (G.I. 7.026, Cranes and Heavy
Equipment Accident Reporting Procedures)

This record will be available for inspection at all reasonable times and will be submitted to Saudi Aramco
upon request. (As reference: Section I-3, Accident Investigation, Analysis and Reporting of the Saudi
Aramco Construction Safety Manual).

i. Investigation

Incident that results in property damage or serious injuries to personnel and hospitalization of two or more
employees must be fully investigated and reported. Unless the real cause is known, the hazard cannot be
controlled in the future. The near miss incident is equally important from the point of view of prevention and
should be thoroughly investigated. The responsibility to investigate all accidents, incidents and to submit
reports and recommend corrective action is incumbent on the site safety supervisor.

Accident investigative techniques:

 Visit the scene of the incident and examine any plant or equipment for damage or misuse.
 Question witness about what happened, how it happened and why.
 Question any injured person when possible.
 Ascertain the events that led to the incidents and any irregularities in the operations.
 Describe the operation that was taking place and the sequence of events which led to the incident.
 Assist the site Safety Supervisor to examine any plant or equipment involved in the accident and to
question witnesses

Accident investigative techniques are many and all may be successfully employed in varying
circumstances, the overriding factor, however, must always be that accident investigation is to determine
the cause and preventive requirements not to apportion blame.

ALL INCIDENT NOTIFICATION, REPORTING & INVESTIGATION with Sino hydro will be communicated in reference with
Aramco GI, 6.000

INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 95 of 97

 Procedure

Incentive and recognition scheme

Sino hydro strongly believes that recognizing a safe work behavior provides a far more positive effect than imposing
penalties to violations or poor safety performance. To support this belief an incentive scheme / procedure below is
outlined.

Individual or groups who have exhibited positive HSE performance shall be chosen by the project management from
among the candidates to receive the award.

The award shall be delivered publicly during the toolbox meeting to positively promote the safety culture and awareness.
The award shall be attended by the supervisors and SAPO representative preferably.

This procedure shall be implemented each calendar month of the year. Award shall be conducted on the last toolbox
meeting schedule of the month.

Monetary amount shall be as approved by the project manager.

 Disciplinary action

To support the incentive and recognition procedure and to cover employees who have exhibited safety behaviors below
the expected safety level that could cause harm to themselves or the others, a disciplinary action procedure is set. This
procedure is established to deal with non-compliance issues and refusal to comply.

 Attention of identified individuals who have committed a safety infraction or violation shall be called and shall be
verbally informed of the infraction to prevent further incident.
 Infraction shall be reported to site safety supervisor or safety officer for further action or recommendation to
prevent repetition. A written Action Form shall be issued to the employee noting the infraction or violation
committed and recommendation.
 Immediate site supervisors may fill the Action Form and recommend disciplinary action for their direct workers.
 Site safety supervisor/ safety officer / immediate supervisors shall exercise sound judgment in recommending
disciplinary actions. Warnings are advised for first to third offense on non-critical violations.
 Subject employee shall attach his signature to confirm that he was informed of the violation and the
recommended action. Refusal to sign does not invalidate the recommended disciplinary action.
 For salary deduction applicable violations, a copy of the Action Form shall be attached with the daily timesheet
and shall be forwarded to the HR Department for necessary salary deduction.
 Salary deduction shall be no less than the amount equivalent to two-hour salary to three days salary of the
employee.
 Suspension shall be one day to no more than five days without salary during the suspension.
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 96 of 97

 Removal of employee from site if necessary, can be recommended with applicable suspension without salary
within the suspension period.
 Immediate supervisors tolerating safety violations of employees shall incur twice the penalty of the employee.

Violation 1st Offense 2nd Offense 3rd offense 4th Offense

Non wearing of PPE Warning 2hrs - 1day 1 day - 3days deduction Removal + suspension
deduction
Non-compliance with Warning + 2hrs-1day 1day - 3 days 3 days – 5 days deduction 5 days deduction with
housekeeping deduction deduction suspension
Refusal to comply Removal + suspension
Tampering of safety Devices and Warning 2hrs- 1day 1 day – 3 days deduction Removal + suspension
equipment deduction

Note: These are sample recommended disciplinary action. Safety violations that endanger the safety of workers are
subject for more severe penalties. Immediate supervisors who are found to have tolerated or have allowed the violation
to occur are subject to twice the penalty of the violator.

Site safety supervisor reserves the right to implement additional penalties.

 Records

Original copies of Action Forms and copies of recognition certificates shall be kept with the site safety office. Copies
shall be forwarded to Sino hydro HR Department to reflect on the individual’s Performance Appraisal Record.

49. SHORT SERVICE EMPLOYEE (SSE) PROGRAM.

Sino Hydro. shall establish a short service employee (SSE) program. This program shall include identification of
new or inexperienced personnel so others may take extra care in their presence and provide additional
assistance. The SSE program shall define the criteria for an inexperienced worker based on duration of
employment, change of job scope and/or length of industry service.
All new or inexperienced workers shall be classified as a SSE for a predetermined duration (e.g., 3-6 months) and
shall be assigned a mentor during this time.
Before work commences, contractor shall inform the Saudi Aramco Proponent Organization (SAPO) of the
maximum ratio of SSEs to experienced workers that will be present at the job site at any given time. The SAPO
reserves the right to require an alternate maximum ratio of SSEs.

50. IMPROVEMENT.

50.1 General.

The Sino Hydro will consider the results from analysis and evaluation of OH&S performance, evaluation of
compliance, internal audits and management review when taking action to improve.
Examples of improvement include corrective action, continual improvement, breakthrough change, innovation
and re-organization.

50.2 Incident, nonconformity and corrective action

Separate processes may exist for incident investigations and nonconformities reviews, or these may be combined
as a single process, depending on the organization’s requirements.
Examples of incidents, nonconformities and corrective actions can include, but are not limited to:
 Project Name: KING SALMAN ENERGY PARK REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING Date: 07/23/2022
CONTRACTOR SITE SAFETY PLAN Page 97 of 97

a) incidents: same level fall with or without injury; broken leg; asbestosis; hearing loss; damage to buildings or
vehicles where they can lead to OH&S risks;
b) nonconformities: protective equipment not functioning properly; failure to fulfil legal requirements and other
requirements; prescribed procedures not being followed;
c) corrective actions (as indicated by the hierarchy of controls; see 8.1.2): eliminating hazards; substituting with
less hazardous materials; redesigning or modifying equipment or tools; developing procedures; improving the
competence of affected workers; changing the frequency of use; using personal protective equipment.
Root cause analysis refers to the practice of exploring all the possible factors associated with an incident or
nonconformity by asking what happened, how it happened and why it happened, to provide the input for what
can be done to prevent it from happening again.
When determining the root cause of an incident or nonconformity, Sino Hydro will use methods appropriate to
the nature of the incident or nonconformity being analyzed. The focus of root cause analysis is prevention. This
analysis can identify multiple contributory failures, including factors related to communication, competence,
fatigue, equipment or procedures.
Reviewing the effectiveness of corrective actions refers to the extent to which the implemented corrective
actions adequately control the root cause(s).

50.03 Continual improvement

Sino hydro will be continual improvement issues include, but are not limited to:
a) new technology;
b) good practices, both internal and external to the organization;
c) suggestions and recommendations from interested parties;
d) new knowledge and understanding of occupational health and safety-related issues;
e) new or improved materials;
f) changes in worker capabilities or competence;
g) achieving improved performance with fewer resources (i.e. simplification, streamlining, etc.).
