Subcontractors' EH&S plans shall state this authority. Company The prime responsibility for safety, health, welfare and environment on site rests with the Project Construction Manager. Responsibility for the implementation, acceptance and enforcement of the EH&S plan is with the construction line supervision. They are the key to the effective prevention of accidents and the preservation of the environment through effective control of site operations. The Company Safety Engineer has responsibility in providing management and line supervision with the necessary services, guidance and promotion activities relating to an effective EH&S implementation. The standard responsibilities and authorities of the individual Company site functions can be found in ref. 16.3. Any project specific deviations from the standard shall be addressed here. Subcontractor The subcontractor’s Manager in charge at site is responsible for EH&S for his specific scope of work and for proper communication with Company and other subcontractors. He is also responsible for the proper dissemination of applicable rules, regulations and instructions among his and his subcontractor’s personnel. Each subcontractor establishes a safety plan and he shall appoint a site EH&S representative and must see to it that its line managers on the site are properly aware of their EH&S responsibility and that all EH&S requirements are communicated to their personnel. (Check for specific project authority regulations concerning the minimum number of employees above which a full time qualified EH&S Representative must be appointed by the subcontractor.) Education and training of personnel is one of the most important aspects of an effective EH&S implementation. It is every subcontractor’s responsibility to ensure that his employees have had the necessary education and training to execute the work. Company will require subcontractors to document that these requirements are met. 3.4 All Personnel at Site

Without the proper EH&S motivation, the employees as well as the supervisors may develop poor work habits and conditions. Thus, the injury rates may increase and the quality and productivity may decline. EH&S, as the work progresses, is a step-by-step matter and must be continually emphasized. Therefore, an EH&S promotion program will be initiated on this project to enhance personnel EH&S motivation. Promotion will be obtained through publicity bulletin boards, signs, posters and the like. Furthermore an EH&S Awareness and Recognition Program has been developed. (Check what is applicable for specific project.) Personnel safety slogans and poster contests will be used with appropriate awards to help reinforce personnel safety consciousness. (Check applicability for this specific project.) Company and subcontractors management staff shall support motivation of personnel EH&S awareness by encouraging a good attitude and by personal contact and recognition. Personal contact shall include project management attendance at EH&S meetings and tours of the site and expressed interest and concern for EH&S. Company’s and subcontractors Construction Management staff are the most vital parties in this system that is designed to stimulate and reward the personnel for exemplary performance in the execution of their tasks with the proper awareness of EH&S. Tools to further motivate personnel are: 

Bulletin Boards

Bulletin boards are used to advantage in displaying safety posters, safety bulletins and (for instance) damaged safety protective equipment, such as safety glasses, hard hats and face shields that have prevented workers from being injured. Bulletin boards are not to be cluttered and the material they display shall be changed frequently.  Gate Board Near the entrance of the site or at Company’s work area a board displaying safety statistics must be placed. In this respect due observation has to be made of any client rules/ instructions. 4.7.2 EH&S Information

Repeated violation of the site EH&S requirements by any personnel can lead to permanent removal of such personnel from the site.

7. Work Permits 7.1 Work Under Permit Conditions 7.1.1 Introduction Adjust this paragraph in order to implement the correct work permit system Work permits are used to authorize work in certain dangerous circumstances or locations e.g. an operating plant, deep excavations, confined spaces, unknown underground condition of a site, work on facilities that have already been handed over to the client and any other work at other hazardous locations or in circumstances requiring a permit. Subcontractor is responsible for taking all precautions and for the safe execution of the work. The issuing and receipt of work permits or safety permits for work in areas where such permits are required does not relieve subcontractor from its responsibilities. It is forbidden to start any work without a work permit if a work permit is required for the specific activity. The applicable work permit system is included in attachment 6. (Check attachment no.) Subcontractor's supervisors are responsible for ensuring that their personnel, working under a work permit, follow the relevant regulations and instructions. Personnel must check the work permits for clarity and all signatures placed before they start working. If there are any questions about the work permit, they must contact their supervisor. Work Outside Normal Working Hours During the project it may be necessary to work outside “normal working hours”. If this situation occurs the work must be executed in accordance with the applicable authority regulations and with the work permit system. Supervision is a mandatory requirement under those circumstances 7.1.2 Work Permits This paragraph is optional for mentioning several work permit systems or some specific situations like working in special areas (substations, caverns, etc.).

10. Environmental Issues Check this chapter and add/remove items depending on the specific project. 10.1 Introduction Good arrangements for environmental care are a priority in efforts to protect the environment. It is important to create a good system for both hazardous and ordinary (waste) streams. This chapter contains rules, regulations and guidelines concerning environmental issues. To provide effective arrangements during the project it is important to implement existing client (replace with client name) rules and regulations. Furthermore authority regulations, procedures and permit systems have to be taken into account. Roles and responsibilities concerning the various environmental issues need to be defined before execution of construction activities. The contact person concerning environmental issues for the client is (fill in name contact person or if more than one person are involved fill in more names and their responsibility). The contact person concerning environmental issues for Company is the Company Safety Engineer unless otherwise specified. 10.2 Special Regulations Products/Materials

The following products/materials are not to be used: Per specific project an inventory must be given of products not to be used.    

asbestos halon leadchromate freon

10.3 Demolition/Removal As part of the project certain (existing) installations/buildings will be (partly) removed. (Check whether this is the case for this specific project.) Before removal of (parts of) installations/buildings an inventory has to be made of possible hazardous materials (asbestos, rest product) that will be part of the removed installations/buildings and to check whether specific regulations concerning specific materials by authority and/or client are applicable. The following rules, regulations and procedures are applicable: Give overview of rules, regulations and procedures applicable It is the responsibility of the subcontractor to make a working procedure to enable a controlled removal of hazardous materials during demolition activities. Subjects of attention for this procedure are:     

safety; health; prevention of contamination; removal/destination of demolition waste; administration of amount(s) of waste.

10.4 Maintenance/Repairs of Installations/Equipment Maintenance/repairs must be carried out with proper provisions in order to prevent contamination. Maintenance of equipment and cleaning of materials must be carried out in designated areas, on a leakage proof floor with provisions to collect liquid waste/runoff. Machines used for maintenance/repairs must be cleaned in designated areas to prevent spreading of waste. Collected waste water from cleaning of materials and/or machines must be cleaned, removed, or transported to plant waste facilities in accordance with client’s (replace with client name) rules and regulations. 10.5 Contamination 10.5.1 Prevention

In all circumstances contamination of surfaces, soil, groundwater etc. shall be prevented. In case contamination does occur measures shall be taken to remove this contamination as soon as possible. 10.5.2 Remedial Actions In case of contamination the Company Safety Engineer shall be informed. Actions to be taken concerning contamination must be carried out in accordance with authority and Company/client regulations. The following rules, regulations and procedures are applicable: Give overview of rules, regulations and procedures applicable In case of contamination of surfaces, soil, groundwater etc. due to unforeseen situations (spill etc.) it is the responsibility of the subcontractor to take proper actions to remove this contamination. The subcontractor shall provide a plan to the Company Safety Engineer for the execution of the remedial actions. Points to be addressed in this plan are but are not limited to:       

Safety measures (hygienic measures, safety control contaminated area and surrounding areas, etc.). Excavation of contaminated soil. Removal of contaminated water. Removal of other contaminated assets Prevention of the spreading of contamination to surrounding areas (transport through soil, air and by road etc.) (Temporary) storage of contaminated materials (soil, etc.). Destination/treatment of contaminated materials (soil etc.)/administration of quantities.

The Company Safety Engineer needs to approve the plan. After remedial activities have been carried out, the subcontractor shall provide the Company Safety Engineer with an evaluation report showing how measures have actually been carried out. 10.6 Waste Management 10.6.1 Introduction During construction work various waste (including rubbish) streams will occur. In order to handle these waste streams effectively a waste management system is needed. It is important to check whether client (replace with client name) exercizes a waste management system and to identify which parts of that waste management system should be integrated in the waste management system for construction. It is important to make proper arrangements concerning this matter with client (replace with client name) before start of construction activities. Roles and responsibilities are defined in ref. 16.2. (Check ref. no.) Company and the subcontractors for their work are responsible for an effective execution of waste management.

The Company Safety Engineer will monitor the performance of waste management. In this paragraph the main items for waste management are addressed. OPTIONAL A more detailed “Waste Management Procedure” is attached as attachment 9. (Check attachment no.; check whether a written client waste management procedure does exist or that a suitable waste management procedure by Company will be used.) 10.6.2 Administration To execute an effective waste management system it is important to keep proper administration of the various waste streams. If available give additional information about the administration system. For instance use of waste-cards, use of client’s system. The various waste (including rubbish) streams must be identified and for each waste stream a study should be made as to which provisions are required and which streams can possibly be integrated with clients waste management system. The following are examples of waste streams: (check this list and make corrections per specific project):         

demolition waste; office waste; canteen waste; construction waste; chemical waste; contaminated soil; water from wells in excavations below groundwater level; waste water; other liquid waste.

The above is an identification of main streams. Main streams can consist of various substreams like wood, stone, steel, insulation wool, asphalt, cardboard/paper, waste fluids, household waste, oil, degreasing agents, chemicals, paints, etc. For each substream a waste handling procedure shall be prepared or be available. 10.6.4 Waste Prevention/Reduction Handling of waste streams costs money. To reduce costs it is important to prevent creating waste and to reduce the amount of waste as much as possible. There are various ways to achieve this. Before a job is executed it must be considered how materials can be used as effectively as possible. Various materials may be re-used or recycled. Carrying out an effective waste prevention/reduction program will also depend upon local provisions and client’s waste prevention/reduction program. It is important to make an inventory of possible solutions.

To optimize the handling of waste streams it is each subcontractors’ responsibility to separate all waste by type of waste. The various waste streams must be defined before start of construction activities. 10.6.5 Waste Storage and Removal General Proper storage of waste is important for Environmental, Health and Safety. Subcontractors must at all times keep the site clean and free of waste material and rubbish. Before execution of construction activities an inventory must be made of specific authority and/or client regulations, procedures and permit systems in order to implement these in the waste storage and removal system. The following rules, regulations and procedures are applicable: Give overview of rules, regulations and procedures applicable Waste Storage Proper storage facilities need to be provided before start of construction activities. Storage facilities can consist of designated areas with sufficient provisions and/or containers with sufficient provisions. Subcontractors shall keep a record of chemicals in use or stored (including waste) on the site and indicate potential hazards and exposure limits as well as protective clothing/equipment necessary, fire prevention and first aid requirements. The record shall include chemicals used for cleaning, pickling, adhesives, epoxy resins and manmade fiber’s. All chemical containers shall be properly labeled and spillage and/or disposal in the environment must be prevented and, if occurred, reported to Company immediately. Additional rules are given in paragraph 14.2 (Fire Prevention). (Check paragraph number.)

Waste Removal Collection and removal of waste from site shall be done according to authority and/or client regulations and procedures. The procedure must include definition of responsibilities and state who actually “owns” the waste during the various stages of disposal.

Procedures shall cover the handling of the waste but also the safety provisions/measures to be taken as well as regulations for special equipment to be used. Waste streams need to be checked for these requirements. Waste streams for which no proper procedures exist will be handled according to procedures that shall be developed before start of construction activities. It is subcontractors’ responsibility to develop and present these procedures to Company for approval. Waste containers to receive and segregate waste shall be available in the various site areas and shall be emptied frequently. This will be the responsibility of Company. (Check for this specific project.) Each waste container must indicate for which category of waste it shall be used. It is subcontractors’ responsibility to enforce proper use of these waste containers. 10.7 Housekeeping Rules Subcontractors shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the site and the temporary facilities are maintained in a safe, clean, healthy and sanitary condition and that the environment is preserved. Rules of cleanliness and orderliness shall be enforced amongst all personnel working at the site. Site entrances and (emergency) exits shall be kept free. Safety and fire extinguishing equipment shall be accessible at all times. Subcontractors must keep roads and walkways clean and every effort shall be made to remove mud, loose grid, slush, snow and other slippery substances that may be caused by subcontractors’ activities.
