SAFETY EXECUTION
The control of accidents is the direct result of Management working together for a common objective – No Accident.
The leadership and tone for such an effort originate with Project Management and Contractor Management. The degree to which management accepts this responsibility will determine the success or failure of the entire Safety Program.
1. Orientation and Training
Instruction and training of employees are required. Apart from own orientation-training employees and will also attend training presented by Owner as required.
The following are mandatory training programs:
• Indoctrination / Orientation
All employees will attend a site-specific orientation presented by Owner prior to the start of work or as required by Owner when site conditions change such as when there is a change in the construction phase and/or during pre-commissioning and startup. The goals set for the project, the project safety rules and regulations and the No Accident philosophy will be communicated to all employees, supervisors, and managers. The course will also emphasize the importance of human life and promote employee ownership and accountability by utilizing behavior-based safety techniques.
• Supervisor Training
All supervisors will attend a special Safety Leadership Skill-path training course
presented by Owner that aims to equip supervisors with the knowledge and skills to fulfill their safety roles, duties and responsibilities.
• Safety Officers Training
All safety officers will attend a Safety Personnel Development course designed and presented by Owner. This course aims to equip the safety officers with the skills and knowledge to perform their duties. The course is similar to the supervisor training mentioned above but concentrates on the roles, duties, and responsibilities of safety officers. In addition, it includes safety administration and procedures and field execution safe work practices as per the project safety manual and procedures.
• Work Assignments
All work assignments shall include specific attention to safety. "Follow-up" monitoring is required in order to prevent accidents. (Safety Action Plan / Job Safety Analysis / Safety Task Assignments / Safe Work Plan / Permits).
• Meetings
Properly conducted and recorded weekly safety meetings will be required. Additionally, all meetings, staff, progress, and others will have a portion of the agenda devoted to accident prevention and a safety topic.
• Toolbox meeting
Toolbox meetings will be held daily by all supervisors as a coaching tool to help
modify the behavior of the employees to work safely, effectively assign permitted work and to constructively correct unsafe and to effectively acknowledge employees and crews for working safely.
• Specific Training
The Safety Procedures require that employees performing specific tasks or operating specific equipment be trained and certified or designated as a competent person as defined. The following training/certification programs will be presented as required and verified by Owner:
a) Equipment operators – specific to the type and or model of equipment operated.
b) Forklift operators – initial training specific to the model and annual refresher
training
c) Electrical Lock Out Tag Out
d) Working on or around energized electrical equipment/circuits
e) Confined spaces – Supervisor, Entrant, Attendee
f) Scaffold – Builder, User, Inspector
g) Trenching and Excavation – Competent Person
h) Fall Protection – Usage, Inspection, 100% fall protection and time-off policy.
All employees working at elevation must attend.
i) Respiratory Protection – Use, inspection, care
j) Hazard Communication
k) Personal Protective Equipment
l) First Aid – first aid, bleeding, CPR.

Supervisors shall complete the JSA form (Job Safety Analysis) identifying any hazards that may be associated with a task and the abatement measures required eliminating or protecting against the hazard. The JSA will be discussed during daily Toolbox
talks and may require actual demonstration of how to perform the task safely.

important milestone or transition points were reached. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss project wide and safety concerns and to identify areas for improvement and to determine, as a safety alignment team, ways of improving safety in the areas needing improvement including safety behavioral modification.
