Purpose
This HSE Program Site is defining minimum standards. It complies with local legislation and CLIENT's
regulations. If local legislation changes or new CLIENT's HSE rules have to be implemented, the HSE
Program Site shall be updated accordingly.
This HSE Program Site is established in order to ensure that the project related HSE aspects are
understood, thoroughly considered, planned, implemented and executed. Nothing in this HSE Program
must be used to release the various CONTRACTORs out of their genuine responsibility with regard to
statutory regulations and rules. In case of any conflict with relevant regulations, CONTRACTOR must
inform COMPANY without delay.
COMPANY will have the overall responsibility within its scope of work towards CLIENT and coordinate
CONTRACTORs' interfaces with respect to HSE.
Every CONTRACTOR is responsible for its SUB-CONTRACTORs and has to transfer the requirements of
this HSE Program Site to its SUB-CONTRACTORs.
This Program will be reviewed and updated as the project proceeds in order to improve and provide
actual site conditions up to the commissioning phase.

1.3

Validity
This HSE Program is valid during the construction, pre-commissioning and commissioning phase of CO2
Purification and Liquefaction Plant at Sabic/United Site in Al Jubail, Saudi-Arabia..
These HSE requirements are part of the contract between CONTRACTOR and COMPANY. They are
attached to Exhibit D.
The HSE Program for COMPANY is based on its IMS-Management System and its related documents as
well as the contract with CLIENT.

1.4

Must and Should


Within this HSE Program Site, the term must indicates a mandatory requirement. The term should
indicates a best practice.

Project Specific Site HSE Policy


The HSE Philosophy for Construction and Commissioning is to minimize risks by integrating safety, health
and environmental aspects into the construction concept and defining precise responsibilities and
controls. Therefore, the construction schedule should be developed in such a manner that hazardous
influences on other disciplines and third parties will be prevented. Risk Assessments will be carried out for
all activities, including work interfaces and any special hazardous works.

2.4

Project HSE Objectives


The implementation of the HSE Program Site should help in achieving the following objectives:

Zero incidents, i.e.


o No unsafe actions, unsafe conditions and near misses
o No incidents with first aid treatments as a consequence
o No injury to people
o No damage to materials, property or harm to the Environment
o No uncontrolled emissions
o No unplanned fires
No violation of COMPANYs nor CLIENTs HSE regulations
No external complaints as a consequence of odors, lighting or noise nuisances from the
construction site
No complaints about the management of waste materials
No exposure to hazardous materials
No exposure to excessive noise
No damage to COMPANY's reputation

(COMPANY and CONTRACTORs) before starting work (see Appendix 3 'Risk Control Concept').
The CONTRACTORs are responsible for carrying out their project specific Risk Assessment for their
work. The Risk Assessment must comprise at least the following aspects:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Definition of work systems (e.g. scaffolding, excavating ) including the description of the
method applied (e.g. manual lifting or crane lifting)
Identification of hazards
Evaluation and assessment of risks
Identification of applicable regulations, standards
Definition of necessary protective measures

The Risk Assessment form can be either according to CONTRACTOR's standard or according to
COMPANY's Job Safety Analysis form (see &AE-W-QR 9604 'Job Safety Analysis').
The Risk Assessment must be handed over to the Site HSE Manager who will approve it. The approval is
a mandatory prerequisite to start work.
Mutual risks due to interfaces will be verified based on the HSE Coordination by COMPANY (See section
6.2).
The CONTRACTOR must plan and arrange its work execution in such a way that there is a minimum of
risk.
As a general guideline the risks must be reduced down to a maximum extent by:

combating the risk at source,

implementing collective protective (engineering, organizational) measures or

providing individual protective measures (e.g. PPE, training, labeling etc.)


Typical hazards, potential risks and related measures present at site must be specified by CLIENT.

6.1.3

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)


A JSA always has to be carried out when planning critical work tasks with high risks that have not been
sufficiently described and controlled through procedures, method statements, risk assessments or further
regulations. (see Appendix 3 'Risk Control Concept').
These 'High Risk Activities' are listed in LS 940-03 "List of hazardous work".
If existing procedures, method statements, risk assessments or further regulations exactly describe the
job related risks involved and the measures to take, it is not necessary to prepare a separate JSA.
The JSA - if required - is a mandatory precondition for issuing a work permit.

A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) must contain at least the following aspects:
1.

Definition of work systems (e.g. scaffolding, excavating ) including the description of the
method applied (e.g. hand digging or mechanical excavation)
Identification of hazards
Evaluation and assessment of risks
Identification of applicable regulations, standards
Definition of necessary protective measures.
Definition of responsibility for the protective measures

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

The level of detail of a JSA is higher than that of a risk assessment, since specific safety measures for the
respective activity have to be defined rather than general safety controls (e. g. exact definition of anchor
points for the use of a safety harness vs. the general statement to "wear a safety harness").
The JSA must be documented in the form according to &AZ-W-QR 9604 'Job Safety Analysis' or
equivalent.

6.1.4 Special Requirements for the Management of Lifting Operations


6.1.4.1 Classification
Mobile and tower crane lifting operations (A to E) are divided into three 'lift classes' (Minor, Major, Critical).
Based on the classification, documents as shown in the following table must be prepared by
CONTRACTOR. Work permits must be issued by COMPANY as indicated.

two types of drawing i.e. both elevation and plan views:
elevation view shall show the following:
the make and model of the crane with boom
boom length
radius
crane capacity for the configuration used
tabulation of weights of all accessories and components that constitute load on the crane boom
lifted equipment information including weight, height, diameter, point of support, centre of gravity
and degree of dress out
tabulation of load on tailing crane, configuration and capacity
identify any obstruction

initial horizontal position of item to be lifted
All lifting studies should be submitted to COMPANY's Site Manager for review and acceptance at least ten
(10) calendar days prior to making the lift. All lifting study have to be approved by CLIENT's Project
Management Team.

6.1.4.3 Pre-Lift Meeting


For 'Critical Lifts' a 'Pre-Lift Meeting' must be held with those responsible for ensuring the crane lifting
activities are performed in a safe, efficient and effective manner. The meeting can cover a number of lifts
on the same day/shift. At least the following personnel must participate in the meeting:

COMPANY's Construction Manager or delegate (i. e. appropriate Discipline Superintendent)


CONTRACTOR's responsible supervisor
CONTRACTOR's lifting coordinator (e. g. for tandem lifts)
CONTRACTOR's crane operators
CONTRACTOR's riggers
CONTRACTOR's signalmen

6.1.4.4 Monitoring of Lifting Operations


COMPANY's Construction Manager or delegate (i. e. appropriate Discipline Superintendent) must be
permanently present during 'Critical Lifts'. At other times periodic monitoring is acceptable.
During a 'Critical Lift' COMPANY's Construction Manager or delegate (i. e. appropriate Discipline
Superintendent) must monitor the work to confirm that:

it is being performed as planned


everyone involved is complying with safety controls and their role's requirements

For prolonged or multiple lifting activities periodic monitoring is acceptable.


During other (non-critical) lifts COMPANY's Construction Manager or delegate does not need to be
permanently present, however, it is recommended that they periodically monitor performance and
compliance levels as applicable and reasonable.

HSE Coordination
Due to the hazards of simultaneous operations of the CONTRACTORs it has to be ensured that all
hazards are identified and mitigating measures are defined before the related activities commence. The
required safety precautions must be implemented in the work permits (see Appendix 3 'Risk Control
Concept').
For the coordination of works the following steps will be carried out:

On projects with several interfaces between CONTRACTORs an HSE Coordination Plan (see
Appendix 4) will be prepared by COMPANY in cooperation with CONTRACTORs' Site Managers
and updated on a regular basis according to the progress of construction works
Regular Coordination Meetings

The HSE Coordination Plan must comprise a plot plan and a table.
The plot plan gives information about the disciplines working on the construction site in the validity period
of the plan. Each discipline will be assigned to a different color. Areas where different disciplines work at
the same time will be marked by the colors of the different disciplines in this area.
The table will give information about timing of work, hazards and planned measures.
Only major tasks will be considered. Single tasks must be managed in the daily coordination meetings.
All radiographic examination must be displayed in a regularly updated NDT Coordination Plan by
CONTRACTOR in addition to the HSE Coordination Plan.
6.3

Work Permit System


Within fenced areas considered as "Green Fields", which are entirely under COMPANY's responsibility,
COMPANY's Safe Work Procedure &AE-W-SC 9601 "Permit to Work System" must be applied after
approval of CLIENT. According to this specification the following work permits are necessary:

General Work Permit


Special Work Permits (this applies for all 'High Risk Activities' according to LS 940-03 "List of
hazardous work"):
Photography Permit

Although the work permits can be valid up to one week (with daily confirmation of continued applicability
including validation of unchanged conditions), this must never include work on non-working days
(weekends, holidays etc.) and work during night shifts. For this purpose always a separate permit has to
be obtained from COMPANY. Types of Work Permits and validity must be in adherence to SHEM-8.10
Work Permits.
Within areas considered as "Brown-Fields" CLIENT's Work Permit System and Forms (SHEM-08.10 Work
Permits) must apply.
