SUMMARY. The purpose of this Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. (HDEC) Corporate Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Manual is to define the HSE Management System for planning, execution, evaluation and improvement for effective HSE Management and the safe execution of the work.

1.2

This Manual also contains the HSE Procedures necessary to assist Project Management in controlling HSE aspects during the Engineering, Construction and Commissioning activities.

1.3

Extracts from this manual will also provide assistance in the HSE Training programme to be developed on site by members of the Project Management Team.

1.4

Although the Manual is intended to comprehensively define HSE aspects relating to the majority of the Engineering, Construction and Commissioning operations within the scope of HDEC, this does not relieve persons in charge from their responsibility of identifying hazards and reducing risks by enforcing the necessary HSE Procedures.

1.5

Copies of this Corporate Manual will be issued to all Divisional Heads, Project Managers and HSE Managers.

1.6

HDEC acknowledges the importance of establishing effective communication procedures on HSE throughout its organisational structure. Furthermore, it is Company Policy to encourage proposals from its employees on how to maintain and improve standards of HSE within the Companies work activities.

1.7

Recommendations and comments to improve this Corporate Manual are welcome from all parties concerned, especially those directly involved with Engineering, Construction and
