4.5. NOTIFICATION OF HAZARDS 4.5.1. Each subcontractor shall notify EL SEIF in writing of the existence of any hazardous conditions, property, or equipment at the work. However, the subcontractor shall take all necessary precautions against injury to any employees until corrected by the responsible party. 4.5.2. If the premises are not cleaned as required, then EL SEIF shall notify the subcontractor that the premises are not being maintained in the condition required. Should the subcontractor fail to initiate substantial progress toward cleanup of the premises within twenty-four (24) hours following receipt of said notice, EL SEIF may elect to provide the necessary labor, materials, and equipment to achieve the same and deduct the full cost thereof from any moneys due the subcontractor.

5.

GENERAL SAFETY AND HEALTH PROCEDURES 5.1. EXCAVATIONS 5.1.1. EL SEIF and all subcontractors shall comply with the standards of the Qatari Labor Laws/Local Laws and this Project Safety, Health and Fire Prevention Manual. 5.1.2. A trench is referred to as a narrow excavation in which the depth is greater than the width; although the width is not greater than 5 meters. An excavation is any man-made cavity or depression in the earth's surface. This can include excavations for anything from cellars to highways. 5.1.3. The Project requires that all excavations over 1.5 meters deep be sloped, shored, benched, braced, or otherwise supported. When soil conditions are unstable, excavations shallower than 1.5 meters also shall be sloped, supported, or shored. 5.1.4. One method of ensuring the safety of workers in a trench or excavation is to slope the sides to a safe angle. The angle varies with different kinds of soil and shall be determined on each individual project. When an excavation has water conditions, silty material, or loose boulders, or when it is being dug in areas where erosion or slide planes are apparent, the safe angle shall be flattened. 5.1.5. A second method of support is shoring-sheeting, tightly placed timber shores, bracing, trench jacks, piles, or other materials installed in manner strong enough to resist the pressures surrounding the excavation. 5.1.6. A trench box, a prefabricated, movable trench shield composed of steel plates welded to a heavy steel frame may also be used.


11


Rev: 00

5.1.7. All excavations of a depth of one (1) meter or greater shall be reviewed by EL SEIF Safety and excavations greater than 1.5 meters, shall require a task safety analysis prior to the work. 5.1.8. Underground lines, equipment and electrical cables shall be identified, located and marked prior to beginning excavation work. 5.1.9. Physical barriers shall be placed around or over trenches and excavations. Barriers shall be temporarily removed only when necessary to provide access to personnel or equipment. Once the equipment or personnel have entered or exited, the barrier shall be immediately replaced. Flashing light barricades shall be provided at night when work is performed or traffic is anticipated near by at night, or as designated. 5.1.10.A stairway, ladder, ramp or other safe means of egress shall be located in trench excavations so as to require no more than 8 meters of lateral travel for employees. Any ladder shall extend a minimum of 1.0 meter above the ground level. 5.1.11. When mobile equipment is operated adjacent to an excavation, and the operator does not have clear and direct view of the excavation edge, a warning system shall be used such as a spotter person(s) to warn the operator, barricades, or mechanical signals, or stop log. 5.1.12.Employees shall not be permitted to work in excavations if there is an accumulation of water or in excavations in which water is accumulating, unless precautions have been taken to protect the employee.

5.2. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT All employees shall use the protective equipment as prescribed by the Qatari Labor Law and rules and regulations as stated in the EL SEIF Safety, Health and Fire Prevention Manual to control or eliminate any hazard or other exposure to illness or injury. Any employee who willfully refuses to use the prescribed protective equipment designed to protect him or willfully damages such equipment shall be subject to disciplinary action, which may include immediate removal from the job site. 5.2.1. Hearing Protection Appropriate hearing protection shall be worn in work areas where noise levels exceed 85 dab time weighted average (TWA). 5.2.2. Eye and Face Protection Eye protection includes approved safety glasses with side shields of monologues meeting the safety Standards. Eye protection will be required as appropriate for the task being performed. Dark protective eyeglasses shall not be worn inside buildings. 5.2.3. Hard Hats All construction employees shall wear approved non-metallic hard hats. All employees and visitors shall wear approved hard hats


12


Rev: 00

when entering areas of construction or overhead hazards. Hard hats shall be void of any type of defects and should not be altered. 5.2.4.

Respirators Approved respirator shall be used when excessive dusts, mists, gases or other atmospheric impurities are determined to be harmful to health.

5.2.5.

Safety Harness and Lifelines Safety harnesses and secured safety lanyards shall be used by all employees working from unguarded surfaces when falls to a different level present a hazard.
