safeguards, ventilation, etc.
Administrative control, such as providing proper work procedures,
observation of HSE requirements and rules, etc.
Ensuring all exposed personnel wear and use proper Personal
Protective Equipment
The control system commences at the procurement stage, at which all
vendors and Subcontractor will be required to submit Material Safety
Data Sheets for all hazardous substances that they will be supplying.
Copies of these data sheets (including methods of treatment of
injuries sustained by hazardous substances) will be forwarded to the
Site HSE Manager who will retain a master file.
Subcontractor will be required to carry out assessments in co-
ordination with the Site HSE Manager and Field Supervisors
(Commissioning Engineers) and in compliance with recognized
standards.
Only when all parties are satisfied there are no suitable alternative
safer materials, and, that the control measures are adequate, will
the materials be permitted on the worksite and used.
Such control measures will address transport, storage, labeling,
packaging, handling, disposal, personnel protective equipment and
emergency procedures and training therein.
Persons using such substances will be trained/ informed on acquainted
with the associated hazards and the necessary control measures
through pre-task instruction and ready availability of method
statements and data sheets.
The hazardous substances covered will also include products from
construction processes (such as welding fumes and solvent vapors).
The disposal of waste material will also be considered, e.g. spent
lubricating oil.
Storage of hazardous substances on site will be kept to a minimum, as
agreed by the Contractor.
The requirements of Control Procedure of Substances Hazardous to
Health (to be developed later) will apply.
36 Environmental
The most effective way to manage the environment is to avoid
spillages. Where this is not entirely possible mitigation measures
will be put in place.
The Project HSE Plan contains further details on environmental
management needs and will be read in conjunction with this
Construction HSE Procedure.
The Contractor and its Subcontractor will follow Project soil erosion
control plans that are in place to identify and address appropriate
erosion control measures.
The Contractor and Subcontractors will comply with CA's ESIA and will
adopt the specific procedures.
37 Environmental Requirements and Protection
These reports identified the environmental sensitivities and impacts
relevant to this Project and to protect the environment by a
hierarchy of measures based on firstly prevention, followed by
mitigation or compensation.
These measures define the environmental requirements.
38 Impacts and Environmental Assessments
These assessments will be used in the preparation of permit
applications for the disposal of construction wastes, both solids and
liquids, and permits related to the disposal of excess soil, to
ensure full control of any environmental impacts, during the
construction phase.
39 Air Emissions
Emissions during construction and commissioning will arise from the
vehicles used for transportation and from the diesel generators.
Dust and noise surveys will be carried out in the vicinity of the
construction site. The Contractor will carry out surveys.
Countermeasures for construction emissions are as follows:
All internal combustion engines will be suitably serviced and
maintained to reduce polluting emissions.
Dust control will be accomplished by properly wetting the work
area by water truck, etc., prior to commencing the work and/or
other approved measures.
40 Pre-commissioning and Commissioning
8. Risk Assessment
The identification, assessment and management process for Engineering
and Construction shall be regulated by specifically developed
procedures based on the plant characteristics, location, applicable
legislation, and CA's requirements shall apply.
Risk identification, assessment and management shall be an integral
part of the pre-commissioning and commissioning activities. Based on
the results of this process at the Home Office, the Pre-commissioning
group may propose changes in design (pre-commissioning and
commissioning in, or close to, general construction areas or punch
listing in pre-commissioning and commissioning areas), for example
addition of isolation valves. The following tools shall be used
Review of the studies conducted during the engineering phase of
the project, such as QRA
Participation in the 3D Model Reviews
Constructability reviews
Check lists
Job Risk Analysis
Pre-start check list
Job Task Analysis
Health Risk Assessment
Workshops for specific areas of risks or hazards
At the Site, risk identification, assessment and control shall be
regularly carried out, in particular for the coordination between the
pre-commissioning and commissioning crews and the construction crews
working in, or closed to, areas that have been energized. Specific
risk assessment workshops shall be conducted by HEC with the
participation of CA and Subcontractors for such items as energization
of the facilities and introduction of hydrocarbons. The results of
the workshops carried out before the start of construction, i.e.,
recommendations and action items, shall be regularly reviewed by the
Pre-commissioning Manager to ensure that the assumptions made at the
workshops on the working areas and the construction schedule are
still valid.
CONSTRUCTION SAFETY PLANNING
42 Crane/Lifting Equipment/Lifting Gear
Risks associated with lifting are significant and, coupled with the
considerable scope of such activity, represent a substantial area of
potential loss exposure.
Consequently, the Contractor will utilize stringent control on both
the lifts themselves and the hardware involved.
Therefore, all cranes, Hiabs, piling rigs, etc., will be inspected,
load tested and all certification checked by the Contractor prior to
entry onto the worksite.
The Heavy Lift Supervisor will maintain records of such inspections.
All proposed Subcontractor prior to mobilization would assess
crane/lift operators for competency and ensure that all certification
is valid for the equipment being used.
This will comprise the submission of a valid national operators
license and also the successful completion of a local competency
test.
All lifting equipment to be added to the Contractor's lifting
register and Colour Coded based on 6 month inspections/re-
certifications by a competent person.
If successful, operators will only be permitted to operate the
equipment for which they have been assessed.
43 Temporary Electrics
Contractor will prepare site specific procedures defining electrical
safety requirements and precautions for those employees working near
electrically operated equipment tools, or with cause to work on or
near electrically operated equipment tools, or with cause to work on
the construction power supply system.
9. Electrical Hazards:
The construction site will present a number of potential hazards
from the use of electrical tools and equipment and the electrical
power supply which extends throughout the work site and each of the
working areas.
The hazards from electrical fault or mishap on the construction site
are severe and ever present. They include:
Electrocution or electrical shock which may kill or cause
serious injury.
Overhead electrical conductors may cause burn injury and ignite
flammable materials.
Switching or sparking of ordinary electrical equipment in
flammable atmospheres may cause fires and explosions, even a
small spark from a battery operated appliance may have
sufficient energy as a source of ignition.
Electrical arcing and flashover from improperly operated
switches, etc. may cause burn injuries.
Accordingly, proper care will be exercised when installing,
operating and working around such electrical equipment and systems
on the site.
10. Electrical Safety Measures:
The electrical safety procedures to be applied on site and will
include training/orientation of both Safety Supervisors and the work
force in the hazards that can be encountered and the safe working
measures needed to protect against injury or damage
44 All Vehicles And Traffic Control
Traffic on the worksite will be minimised so as to avoid unnecessary
hazards and congestion at the workplace, with entry onto worksite
being controlled via the issue of vehicle passes.
Speed limits will be enforced by the Contractor Security Department.
Specific accesses and egresses for pedestrians will be maintained at
all times, as will routings for emergency vehicles. Any vehicle
wishing to block roads for any period of time will first obtain a
road closure permit from the Contractor.
Subcontractor will be made aware of all such closures and heavy
equipment routings at Subcontractor daily HSE meeting.
The Contractor and Subcontractor will develop Road Safety Policies to
minimize possibilities of traffic accidents on the public highway,
e.g.:
Driving times
Age
Driving hours
Route and resting plan
45 Welding and Heat Operation
The purpose of this welding and heating operations instruction is to
outline the Safety requirements for managing and controlling
operations involving the use of welding equipment on this Project.
The main hazards likely to be encountered during welding and burning
processes can be identified as follow:
High Temperature causing risk of fire and burns.
Fumes emitted from the process likely to cause injury to health.
Radiation causing 'arc eye' and burns.
Oxygen deficiency or enrichment, particularly within an enclosed
space.
Electric shock
Explosions during the welding and cutting of drums, tanks or
vessels which have contained flammable materials.
These instructions provide general considerations for the control and
use of welding and burning plant and equipment used on site which is
based upon Permit to Work Camps, Offices.
Fire watchers shall be placed whenever welding or cutting is
performed in locations where a risk assessment shows an increased
likelihood.
46 Excavation Procedures
Excavation procedures(0304-ZB-136) will be developed to address soil
classification, benching, shoring, air sampling, and entry and exit
routes, spoils location, and traffic and equipment management.
COMMISSIONING SAFETY PLANNING
Commissioning Group will pay particular attention to identify any
additional flanging, spading or valve isolation requirements to
ensure the integrity of live systems in an area where construction
work is still being carried out.
Development of diesel and water management plans, and waste disposal
procedures will be carried out.
The safety and welfare of the work force and the need to protect
equipment must be considered paramount and highlighted in any work
permit that is issued.
48 Work Permit Control
a) Once a system has been handed over from Construction to
Commissioning and comes under the care and custody of
Commissioning, the Commissioning Manager will be responsible for
issuing work permits that will govern all activities to be
carried out in the areas being commissioned.
b) A Permit Office will be provided to manage the issue regarding
the Work Permits.
49 Prevention of Contact
"Ingestion "Eating and drinking will be only allowed in designated"
" "areas. "
"Skin Contact"Measures must be taken to prevent hazardous materials "
" "from contacting the skin and provide first aid or "
" "medical treatment in the case of accidental contact. "
" "Non-porous gloves and goggles are minimum "
" "requirements. "
"Burns "All process equipment in accessible areas operating at"
" "temperatures above about 70oC is normally insulated to"
" "ensure personnel protection. Lines and equipment in "
" "cryogenic service are also insulated for heat "
" "retention and for protection against cold burns. "
" "General-purpose gloves will be worn. "
"Eye Contact "Eye irritants can cause permanent damage to the eye "
" "very rapidly. All eye injuries will receive immediate "
" "medical attention. Eye wash bottles and water coolers "
" "will be located on plant against recognized approved "
" "standards where materials such as acids, alkalis, "
" "amines can be encountered. Safety glasses must be worn"
" "and goggles must be worn on the helmet in all "
" "commissioning areas. "
50 Maintenance of Safety Equipment
All safety equipment will be checked on a monthly basis and must be
maintained in a condition ready for use.
Fire extinguishers must be checked at monthly intervals and recharged
or replaced immediately after use. All air and water hose equipment
must be returned to their original place after use. Access to such
equipment must not be obstructed. When a fire extinguisher is used
the occurrence of a fire will be reported in an incident report.
No work on any live equipment will be done without a properly
authorized permit to work issued by the Commissioning Manager or his
designees.
51 Housekeeping
Loose materials etc., will never are left in a manner causing a
tripping hazard on platforms, access ways, etc.
Access to ladders and fire escapes must be kept accessible at all
times. Waste and refuse must be put in proper designated areas or
containers.
START-UP PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PLANNING
53 Work Permit Control
All work will have a Work Permit issued by the CA operations. All
conditions on the work permit will be strictly adhered to such as
fire extinguishers to be in place and drainage systems covered.
54 Emission to Atmosphere
Hot liquids or vapours must never be discharged directly to the
atmosphere. All measures must be taken to prevent or control
emissions. Where temporary noise pollution exceeds 85 dBA, temporary
silencers will be used.
55 Toxic Gases
Vessels may contain highly toxic gases. Inert gases such as nitrogen
pose a particular hazard of asphyxiation. Extreme care must be taken
in the venting purging, cooling and opening of such equipment.
56 Working Practices
1) No burning, welding, cutting, grinding, or other hot work will be
allowed in live areas unless properly authorized by a permit to
work issued by the CA Operation representatives.
2) No person will be permitted to work within a flammable
atmosphere. Where appropriate proof tested flammable gas detector
of calibrated will be employed to minimize the risks from any
leakage by providing adequate warning.
3) Authorized personnel in compliance with a permit to work will
only work electrical equipment on.
4) Do not use hydrocarbons to clean machinery or for any other
cleaning purposes. Use a permitted cleaning agent instead.
5) When pressurized systems are to be worked on a procedure with a
method statement must accompany the work permit.
6) Environmental requirements for collection of cleaning agents to
be determined
7) Guards around moving shafts or couplings, which have been removed
must be replaced when repair work is completed and before
equipment is energized.
8) During flushing or air blowing, areas where liquids or gases are
exiting must be barricaded off and warning signs, written in
English and local languages displayed.

PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM
A permit to work system will be implemented on the Project, to ensure
that those tasks attracting elements of risk will be subjected to
thorough and systematic planning and preparation prior to their
authorization to proceed.
The Contractor will continually update the precise scope of the
application reflecting the differing needs of the various
construction phases and also the need to interface with the permit to
work systems to be implemented during commissioning and start up.
Notwithstanding this, certain activities mentioned below are required
to obtain a Work Permit issued by Contractor issuers.
Confined Space Entry,
Radiography, pneumatic testing,
Removal of grating and handrails on structures, etc.,
Electrical work require to de-energize or isolate electrical
equipment/components,
Explosive Device, use of cartridge-operated tools,
Pressurized Testing
The underlying philosophy of the Contractor permit to work system is
that Subcontractor task supervisor receives a permit only after it
has been reviewed by The Contractor Discipline Supervisor and
approved by the relevant Area Construction Manager (Commissioning
Manager).
Further, the permit program provides a form of method statement, job
safety analysis that clearly identifies measures to be adopted by
Subcontractor and his employees.
Only persons who have successfully completed the Contractor permit to
work training module will be permitted to initiate, receive, review
or authorise permits.
The system that allows central control and ongoing monitoring of
higher risk activities to ensure that activities are;
1) Authorized by the appropriate site supervisory personnel
responsible for the particular area or for control of hazardous
activities,
1) Carried out by qualified personnel using appropriate safety
precautions
2) Ensures that those activities with potentially hazardous
interactions do not take place at the same time.
70 Cold & Hot Work Permit
Cold Work Permit
2) General construction/commissioning work and maintenance not
involving the breaking of containment of hydrocarbon system
3) Working with radioactive sources: Radiography Certificate also
required
4) Working with nitrogen gas
5) Excavations: Excavation Certificate also required
6) Working with mineral fiber
7) Handling or use of hazardous substances
8) Spray painting/coating
9) Work affecting the availability of fire and gas detection system,
e.g. flammable gas detection, fire detection and Uninterruptible
Power Supplies (UPS)
10) Work affecting the availability of fire protection gaseous system
(CO2)
11) Work affecting the availability of process safety and protection
arrangement, e.g., Emergency Shutdown Valve (ESDV) systems, blow
down and drains systems
12) Work affecting the internal or external communications systems of
the installation/site
13) Working on computer controlled systems
14) Removal of handrails, gratings, hatches and fixed ladders
15) Work at height greater than 1.8 meters
16) Pressure testing of plant and equipment
17) Bleeding down vessels to drains or to atmosphere
18) Use of equipment or work in Non-Hazardous Zones involving:
a) Dry grit/shot blasting
b) Cartridge operated tools
c) Use of torque wrenches in Hazardous Zones
19) Electric work
Hot Work Permit
1) Work involving naked flame
2) Welding
3) Use of portable grinder (electrically and air power)
4) Use of heat shrink blowers and electric power tools in Hazardous
Zones
5) Nitrogen/ Gas leak testing of plant and equipment
71 Confined Spaces Permit
A space that is large enough and so configured that an employee can
bodily enter and perform assigned work.
1) Confined Space permits are required for any confined space entry
operations
2) A confined space is a place, which if substantially (though not
always entirely) enclosed, and where there is a reasonably
foreseeable risk of serious injury form hazardous substances or
conditions within the space or nearby. Examples of confined
spaces are closed tanks, vessels, sewers, open-topped tanks,
vats, pits, and closed and unventilated or inadequately
ventilated rooms
3) Some places fall within the definition of a confined space only
occasionally, perhaps due to the type of work to be undertaken
e.g. spray painting in a room. Spaces may become confined due to
a change in the condition inside or change in the degree of
enclosure or confinement that may occur intermittently.
4) An initial gas test must be recorded on the Confined Space permit
and must be continuous unless special dispensation is granted.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
An effective PPE program is an essential protection against those
hazards, which cannot be engineered out of the construction
environment.
Further, the conformance to the PPE program also provides a valuable
indicator of safety attitudes and behaviour of the workforce.
The Contractor and Subcontractor will ensure that all PPE is "fitted"
correctly to meet individual requirements.
All PPE will conform to either AS, BS, ANSI or DIN standards when
applicable, be suitable for the purpose, and will be maintained by
individuals to ensure that the integrity of such equipment is not
compromised.
In addition, such equipment will be provided free issue to all
Subcontractors, and replaced as required.
Certain items of PPE will be mandatory and worn at all times whilst
on the worksite, these will be:
Safety helmets
Safety footwear with steel toecaps
Safety glasses with side protection
Coveralls (minimum 60% cotton or 100% cotton)
Welders Coverall, Fire retardant
During the Commissioning phase in addition to the mandatory wearing
of P.P.E specified in above other items of appropriate type of
equipment required by/for the work will be in use.
Also, any persons working at an elevation of 1.8 meters or above will
wear a full-body safety harness with dual lanyards that will be
attached to an adequate load bearing anchor point or lifeline
appropriate fall arrest or on an incomplete structure when working
outside handrails.
However, the Contractor stresses that this is a residual form of
protection, the need for which will be avoided wherever practicable
by the use of safe working platforms.
COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Effective communications are vital to the successful implementation
of the health, safety and environmental plan.
Communications take many forms but their common objective is to
improve understanding of health, safety and environmental matters,
thus obtaining the support, co-operation and commitment of all
interested parties.
Contractor will ensure that all of its personnel are able to
communicate in a safe, clear and effective manner. It is imperative
that all personnel are given and understand written, visual and oral
instruction from management and supervisors.
Contractor will provide all resources necessary to ensure that
communications are understood among all personnel on any Worksite.
Contractor will carefully consider and specify the requirements for
communication between multi-national workforces and ensure that each
work crew shall use a common language or have an in-crew interpreter.
[Contractor HSE Site Communication Chain]
The above communication chain will be developed to incorporate
Commissioning team members as Project progresses.
74 Radio Contact
Adequate numbers of intrinsically safe portable radios (walkie
talkies), and chargers will be made available to the Construction and
Commissioning Group. These will all be correctly licensed according
to Algerian regulations and under the Contractor ARPT Radio licensed.
This requirement will extend to all Sub-contractors.
The radios will have channels allocated according to a radio channel
master plan to be developed by the CA and the Contractor.
Commissioning channels will accommodate the following requirements:
Commissioning, Contractor and CA
Emergency services
Subcontractor and vendors
For overlap with construction

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE
All site personnel will be advised of the actions to be followed in
the event of fire, gas/toxic release or any other emergency
situation.
Such advice will be given at site inductions and subsequent ongoing
safety training sessions.
The procedure will be included in the HSE booklet issued to all
employees and will also be published on notice boards, strategically
placed around the site.
Emergency telephone numbers will be listed. A basic map will be
provided which shows evacuation routes and assembly points.
Exercises in each facility shall be conducted at least every
quarterly basis (to be discussed with Company to increase frequency
at site) and the observation shall be recorded. The report should be
forwarded to the HSSE Department and any remedial actions required
shall be identified.
FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION
Whilst the risk of major fire damage in construction, pre-
commissioning and start-up areas is considered by the Contractor to
be reasonably minor, (with key risks presented by compressed gas
cylinders, painting and insulation materials and general debris and
rubbish), the risk in the camp and office areas is considered to be
high.
In order to prevent such hazards materializing, the Contractor will
implement a Project-wide fire prevention/protection strategy that is
characterized by the following general principles:
Minimal bulk storage on site of flammable substances in
appropriate containers
Isolation of flammables from sources of ignition
Training in fire prevention and suppression techniques
Integrity of electrical equipment
Permit to work control
Containment of sparks and flames from Hot Works
Escape route planning
Restricted smoking areas.
The employment and maintenance of fire extinguishers at strategic
locations throughout the worksite and also the deployment of a fire
and emergency response truck, which will remain permanently manned at
a strategic location, will support this approach.
This truck will be mobilized in response to all fires on site and
will be used during emergency response training exercises.
Prior to start of Start up, all operational fire protection equipment
must be in place.
The fire prevention/protection strategy will include all worksite
offices, warehouses, camp, etc., and will be developed to include
commissioning activities.
HSE AWARENESS
84 HSE Incentive Sheme
The purpose of HSE incentive scheme is one kind of motivation
technique for workers at site to promote individual safety
performance, increasing the production and reduce injuries which will
be done by providing individuals with a certain type of awards for
good performance.
85 HSE Awareness Program
Safety and training materials such as booklets, posters, visual aids,
etc. will be suggested by Contractor. Each subcontractor will be
expected to arrange for appropriate materials and should utilize the
materials suggested. Posters of all sizes must be displayed in the
appropriate languages at locations throughout the site.
Site HSE Manager shall maintain the HSE scoreboard and display it at
the key location of the project site facilities. Information of the
HSE scoreboard shall be updated on daily basis
Also Site HSE Manager shall arrange to issue HSE flyer for providing
details of the site accidents/injuries, summarizing details and
comments to avoid re-occurrence on the project site.
Warning signs will be displayed throughout the site, wherever any
hazard warrant their use. Bulletin boards will be used to advantage
in displaying safety posters.
MANAGEMENT OF WASTE MATERIALS

manholes, lift station pit with pumps, biological sewage treatment
plant and treated effluent underground piping to facilitate sewage
management a bioreactor will be installed for the construction
period.
90 Worksite Waste
All waste material will be identified and segregated.
Each Subcontractor will be responsible for the provision of such
facilities to segregate waste.
An adequate number of skips and bins will be located at key positions
on the worksite by Subcontractor based on their workload.
These items to be disposed of will be clearly identified according to
the classification of waste, which they will generate. Subcontractor
will be directly responsible for proper storage of waste in these
containers.
Domestic waste from the temporary facilities etc. on the worksite
will be handled in exactly the same manner as at the Labor Camp.
Hazardous waste will be stored in a closed secure container, clearly
marked, with Material Safety Data sheet, as hazardous material and
transported to the Contractor designated on-site storage.
All concrete debris and/or unused concrete will be deposited to an
area being located out of the site designated by the CA.
91 Housekeeping
All areas must be kept free from debris and waste material on an
ongoing basis. At the end of each working day a check will be carried
out by Subcontractor Task Supervisors to make sure that all waste
material has been gathered and deposed of in the allocated area.
All empty containers of hazardous material must be removed from the
work area as soon as is reasonably practicable. All empty gas bottles
must be returned to their storage area and stored in the proper
manner.
All spillages must be cleaned immediately in accordance with the
product manufacturers recommendations and reported to the Site HSE
Manager.

This will ensure that good housekeeping is practiced and also that
collection, segregation, storage and disposal of waste is properly
controlled to minimize the environmental impact of the Project.
Regular waste collections will be undertaken by a specified
Subcontractor, who will be approved by the relevant Authority to
carry and dispose of the various types of waste generated.
The waste management co-coordinator of each Subcontractor will
prepare a monthly report detailing the types and quantities of waste
removed from site and/or stored on-site during that period.
The Contractor Waste Management Controller will monitor all
collection points to ensure that there is no over-spill or backlog of
waste removal. In addition, they will spot check the waste control
against its description on the Manifest before it leaves the site by
