1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this method statement is to outline the general requirements & precautionary
measures which will be taken into consideration for the structural steel assembly & erection
works for C2 ASU Pearl GTL Project by GAMA Qatar.

2. SCOPE
This method statement identifies the general steps, arrangements & precautions for the
structural steel assembly & erection works at the C2 ASU Pearl GTL Project site.

3. HSSE
All works shall be in compliance with the State of Qatar laws and regulations, Ras Laffan
Industrial City and International standards, codes, Linde Engineering AG and QSGTL and/or its
PMC requirements and instructions.
In addition all employees and Gama subcontractor employees on site will have through Linde
Engineering AG Site Safety Induction and Gama Qatar Safety induction for site safety, health,
environmental and security prior to work activities. Other training courses will be attended as
required by Linde Engineering AG and QSGTL and/or its PMC as required.
At a minimum a Risk Assessment will have been prepared by the Risk Assessment Team
(RAT) ranking the hazards associated with project works and control measures to be taken to
mitigate the hazards to an acceptable level.
Each work scope or task will have a completed and approved Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
identifying the potential hazards and control measures that will be implemented to protect
people and environment. Supervisor as the basis of conducting his daily Pre-Task meeting and
his weekly TSTI will use the JSA.
In addition to the above, employees conducting survey works will wear required PPE and
highly visible vest where traffic or other hazards may exist. For additional safety requirements
for a particular or specific task please refer to the JSA prepared for that task.
