RISK AND HAZARD ANALYSIS

This plan aims at describing water management of the project site.

Project Safety Risks have been identified and reviewed prior to the works commencing, as
specified in DHI-EHS-HSM-001 EHS Risk Management. During that process it was
decided over which aspects of the projects activities controls should be placed to minimise,
or, where practicable eliminate, the risks to health, safety and security as a result of those
activities.
HSM is developed with specific references to the project H&S requirements set by the
contract and specific requirements. The HSP and HSM identify and detail key areas
affecting the H&S for the project and document the project H&S management system that
will be implemented to effectively satisfy Doosan, Project Owner and legislative
requirements in the prevention and management of workplace H&S issues and accidents /
incidents.
At the project commencement, the Site Manager, in conjunction with the project team,
including the project EHS Manager shall ensure the following are considered:

Perform and complete form in the DHI-EHS-HSM-001 EHS Risk Management;

Review the adequacy and compatibility of H&S documentation;
Finalize the HSP and HSM to address the required controls;
Develop a program for the implementation of H&S controls;
Identification and acquisition of any controls, processes and equipment;
Clarification and acquisition of Standards/Specifications/Codes; and
Implement a system of identification and filing of H&S records.

The Site Manager ensures these activities are documented and nominated activities are
performed and completed in a timely manner.
In addition a detailed EHS risk analysis has been carried out during which Risk
Assessment Reports were prepared to determine controls considered appropriate to cover
the risks identified. This task is conducted by means of a meeting of key competent
personnel.

Risk Assessment Report (RAR) Hazard Identification

Risk Assessments Reports Form and if necessary, together with Job Safety, Environmental
Analysis (JSEA) Form are carried out before work is undertaken and then reviewed
regularly. Supervisory personnel are responsible to complete Safety Verification Checklist
as a final check before work proceeds. If a serious accident occurs and/or any significant
changes occur that substantially affect the method of work, then a review of the
assessment must be undertaken. The procedure to be followed when conducting Risk
Assessment/JSEA is within DHI-EHS-HSM-001 EHS Risk Management.

6.2

Job Safety, Environmental Analysis (JSEA) Risk Assessment

JSEA is used where applicable to assist in the identification and satisfactory control of
workplace hazards and risks. JSEA breaks a planned activity into manageable steps,
identifies the hazards associated with each step and ensures that appropriate controls and
checks exist to eliminate or as a minimum control the hazards/risks to an acceptable level
of risk.
Members of the project construction and EHS Teams perform a review of all known 'high'
risk activities associated with the project in accordance with manual DHI-EHS-HSM-001
EHS Risk Management. Following identification of all such 'high' risk activities, the teams
are to ensure identification, elimination, reduction, control or protection from such hazards
and carry out a JSEA. Once developed in the proposal stage, the applicable JSEA shall be
further reviewed and revised at site by members of the project team.
A JSEA shall be completed for all activities that:

Are identified as having a high potential for causing serious and/or equipment and
material damage;

Deviate from non-standard practices;

Commencement of a new or complex task; and

Have residual risk factors greater than Level 2 following DHI-EHS-HSM-001 EHS
Risk Management

Identification process
There are four steps in the JSEA activity:

Break the job into basic steps;

Identify all hazards for each step;

Identify systems and checks to eliminate or control each hazard; and

Define responsibilities for implementation of hazard control.

Job Safety, Environmental Analysis Worksheet

The Construction Supervisor responsible for the planned work activity shall
complete a JSEA Work Sheet.

The Construction Supervisor shall liaise with the personnel required to perform the
work, the respective construction manager and the project EHS Manager.

Subcontracted Activities
The Site Manager or nominee reviews the Subcontractors EHS programme. Acceptance of
the EHS programme is recorded by the Site Managers signature on the plan or by
following the Method Statement approval process.
Subcontractors are required to produce work Method Statements for each of their activities
of significant risk. The Site Manager or construction manager, EHS manager and Quality
Manager review the work Method Statement(s). When they consider it acceptable, it is
copied and distributed to Construction Supervisor, the site engineer and the Subcontractors.
Where Doosan considers a Subcontractors H&S Plan / Work Method Statement
unacceptable, the Subcontractor is required to meet with Doosans Construction Manager
and Supervisor to discuss the proposed work method and to determine and document
appropriate controls so that a practical Work Method Statement (WMS) can be produced
for use on the project. In some cases it may be necessary for Method Statements to be
approved with comments, in such cases the comments must be adhered to in full by the
Subcontractor.
An activity covered by a WMS will not be allowed to commence until the Project
Manager considers the method proposed for the activity acceptable.

Environmental Regulation Summary

2.1.1

Vietnam Environmental Regulations

The National Assembly approved the National Law on Environmental Protection (NLEP) in
1993, which is a framework law with general provisions that typically relate to compliance
with a series of standards. A new NLEP was passed in November 2005 in order to replace
the current law with more specific and stricter provisions.
Environmental management responsibility is devolved from the MONRE at the national level
to the Department(s) of Natural Resources and Environment (DONREs) at provincial level
and supported by other state bodies where appropriate as shown in Figure 2.1.

Figure 2.2 shows the hierarchy of legislative decision making in Vietnam. The National
Assembly is the highest law making body. It passes the broad statutes and enabling
legislation. The Government then turns these into policy decisions and decrees. Each
ministry is then responsible for drawing up circulars in its own area of competence, while
Peoples Committees do the same at the provincial level.

Responsibility for implementation of environmental policy and monitoring at local level is

assigned to the provincial assemblies through their DONREs.
Vietnam is very much at the beginning of the development and implementation of
environmental laws and regulations. In addition, implementation at the local level tends to
be low due to low levels of resources and trained staff within the DONREs and the lack of
adequate monitoring capabilities within the authorities. Monitoring and enforcement
therefore tends to relate to administrative non-compliances.
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process is also used as a means of regulating
facilities. EIAs have been enacted retrospectively for existing facilities in Vietnam and
mitigation measures in the EIA have been used as a regulating tool by the local DONREs.
Decree 29/2011/ND-CP includes provisions on State administration, environmental impact
assessments, the prevention and rectification of the deterioration of the environment,
financial resources for environmental protection, reporting and monitoring the
implementation of environmental regulations and the enforcement thereof. The Decree sets
out obligations to all entities (including foreign investment entities) that operate in Vietnam.
According to Decree 21/2013/ND-CP providing functions, responsibility, authority and
organisational structure of MONRE, MONRE is Vietnams highest central environmental
authority regulating environment, meteorology, hydrology, map surveying and cartography,
soil, water and mineral resources. It has an overall mandate for environmental strategy,
legislation and policy formulation, environmental institution building, environmental impact
assessment, environmental research, environmental quality standards, data collection and
management. It also supervises and supports the activities of the provinces with regard to
environmental, hydrological, meteorological, cartographical and natural resources
management and their implementation of national policy and regulations.
MONRE is empowered to carry out inspections of industrial premises and is required to coordinate with the specialised inspectors in the sector ministries concerned. The inspectors
have powers to levy fines, and industrial operators must facilitate the inspectors in carrying
out their functions.
A total of 8 agencies and 9 departments are under the management of MONRE and provide
support to the Minister in relation to environmental management. Furthermore, a number of
institutes, research centres and companies also fall under MONRE as presented in the Table
2.1.

solid waste and construction waste and landfill development. In practice the task of waste
collection and disposal is delegated to local environment companies established by the
Provincial Peoples Committees to handle all aspects of waste collection, transport and
disposal.
The Ministry of Transport (MOT), which is responsible for controlling and monitoring pollution
from vehicles and cargo vessels; the movement of environmentally harmful substances; and
for responding to incidents such as spillages from ships or road vehicles.
General Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, which is responsible for the National
Program on the gradual replacement and disposal of ozone depleting substances (ODPs).
Following restructuring of MONRE in March 2013, the PPCs were required to do the same
with DONREs, which were entitled to government funds for the staffing. The responsibility of
DONRE is regulated in Circular 03/2008/TTLT-BTNMT-BNV on guiding functions, tasks,
powers and organizational structure of the specialized agencies on Resources and
Environment of People's Committees at all levels.

Summaries of Environmental Plan Requirement

Expected impacts from the construction activities include emissions to air from flaring and
operation of gas engines, as well as potential impacts to the bio zone from the routine
discharge of wash water. Construction and operation of the Vinh Tan 4 Plant are expected to
have impacts to water, storm water runoff, hazardous substance, waste, noise, air, land, and
etc.
Impacts arising from construction and operation of the Vinh Tan 4 plant have been assessed,
evaluated and developed mitigation plan through the EIA. The summaries of EPC contract
environmental plan requirements are as follows:
Water Supply and Wastewater Discharge: Based on the EIA, water supply and production
activities in the area of Tuy Phong are mainly from the use of surface and ground water part.
For drinking water, Doosan will purchase a licensed bottle water to ensure all staffs health
management. All domestic and drinking water will be monitored.
Construction impacts are expected from surface runoff, groundwater seepage, hazardous
material spills, vessel maintenance and discharges of wastewater from concrete mixing,
equipment washing, dust suppression, oily water and sanitation. All discharges will meet
local standards limits. Sanitary wastewater will be treated in septic tanks followed by
biological treatment, while potentially contaminated wastewater will be treated in the oily

water treatment unit (e.g. oil water separator). The equipment refuelling and maintenance
area will be designated. Hazardous materials storage and generators will have secondary
containment to avoid risk of soils. Monitoring will be performed biannually and periodic
review will be conducted by Doosan.
Storm Water Runoff Management: Construction areas will be managed to prevent and/or
minimize contamination of storm water with potential pollutants (e.g. hazardous material
storage, fuel and oils, waste management, material stockpiles). Preventing erosion will also
minimize turbidity in storm water run-off discharging from the construction areas, ultimately
controlling impact to receiving waters including the marine environment.
Hazardous Substance Management: The Hazardous Substances Communication Plan and
Material Safety Data Sheets management will be implemented to Doosan and all
subcontractors with guidelines to inform their employees of known chemical hazards that
may exist in the work place. All subcontractors shall submit MSDS of chemicals and obtain
approval from Doosan prior to bringing any chemical substance on the site. In addition, all
chemical containers shall store on permanent storage areas have minimum conditions, area
covered or indoors with impervious secondary containment.
Management of Waste: Construction activities are expected to generate significant volumes
of waste and debris, while commissioning are expected to generate waste oil, sludge, filters
and hazardous waste streams. Waste Management Plan will be developed to identify waste
streams, reuse, and reduction strategies, on-site storage requirement, accidental release
mitigation measures, available carriers and transport, and final waste treatment requirements
and standards. A periodic audit will be performed of the hazardous waste and documented
to verify that the requirements of applicable regulations by Doosan.
Environmental Emergency Planning: The environmental emergency planning for material
storage, control oil of supplies and equipment, chemical and other hazardous substance will
be developed and implemented at the site. This plan will be encompassed potential
environmental emergencies, spill prevention measures, and communication plans.
Noise Mitigation: The project will comply with the applicable regulation (QCVN
26:2010/BTNMT) noise limits. Construction noise level will be monitored at the property
boundaries and mitigated through equipment selection, maintenance and abatement devices.
Noise level will be monitored biannually.
Transportation and Traffic Mitigation: Traffic impacts during construction include circulation
and road safety, particularly related to expected frequent heavy truck movements at the site.
Community safety measures will include the implementation of a this such as identify traffic,
parking and pedestrian zones, vehicles inspections and limiting vehicle speeds on public
roads and onsite.
Air pollution Control: Fugitive dust generated during construction will be mitigated through
application of best practices. Power Facility testing emissions will be mitigated through
applicable regulations air emission limits. Fugitive dust level will be monitored biannually.

Social Environment and Engagement: To reduce potential impact on the local communities,
enhance local benefit and involvement, a grievance mechanism will be developed and
implemented during construction and commissioning. It will be included reporting mechanism
to senior management of Project Owner and affected communities.
Documentation and Reporting Requirements: All environmental managements should have
documented (i.e., written) information (in paper or electronic form) that describes the core
elements of its EP and EM and includes references to associated documentation. The
management should also develop a system to ensure that all critical documents are
available to all personnel who rely on them and that obsolete documents are removed and
not used in error. The overall goal of document control is that the most current and correct
document is immediately available to those who need it.
Personnel Environmental Training: The management should ensure that employees at all
levels of the organization understand the goals and principles of the EP and EM and the
ways in which their job activities impact the environment and the achievement of project
goals. All personnel within the organization should have at least a basic understanding of
the environmental issues associated with the organizations operations, while personnel
whose work may directly affect environmental performance should be trained to ensure they
can competently complete their assigned tasks.
Oversight: The environmental oversight plan will be developed and implemented. The
oversight program shall consist of oversight meeting, inspection, audit, and worker sanction.
Environmental Plan Change Management: Any revision The EP and EM shall be approved
by Project Owner and immediately communicated all staffs including subcontractors as soon
as possible.
Responsibility for Implementation of the EMP and Reporting Requirement: The EIAs
environmental management plan shall be update of implementation progress on the
Quarterly Progress Report.

material stockpiles). Preventing erosion will also minimize turbidity in storm water run-off
discharging from the construction areas, ultimately controlling impact to receiving waters
including the communities.

If deemed necessary by Site Management, an erosion and sediment control plan

may be necessary, please refer to local permit / regulations detailing specific local
controls and discharge limitation parameters.

For any activities include site disturbances, the following erosion and sedimentation
control measures shall be implemented (Construction Manager is responsible for
ensuring subcontractors also following this measures):

14 May 2014
REV 01

Apply water for dust suppression whilst ensuring that water runoff is controlled
and does not cause erosion elsewhere on site;

Protect nearby storm sewer curb inlets, if required based on the scope of
construction works, with stone-filled or gravel filled geo-textile bags or
equivalent measures;

Inspect the control practices a minimum of twice a week and after each storm
event, making any needed repairs immediately; and

(2 X 600MW)

Toward the end of each work day, sweep or scrape up any soil/debris from the
works without flush with water.

Storm/ surface water shall be collected where possible and recycled as far as is
reasonable practicable. Contamination shall be prevented to external areas in excess
of local regulatory limits.

The details specific controls described in DHI-EHS-EM-004 Storm Water Runoff

SECTION 7

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE MANAGEMENT

This procedure sets out the mandatory project requirements to minimise the risk of
employees and environment being exposed to substances that may impacts.
Hazardous substances are chemicals or other substances that can harm to health and
environment. Examples include (depending on the concentration and ingredients):

Acids
Caustic Substances
Pesticides
Insecticides

Cleaning Agents

Disinfectants
Some industrial fibres
Solvents/Thinners
Dyes

Plastic Compounds
Timber and Leather Preservatives
Adhesives
Paints

Peroxides

To ensure the risks associated with the use of hazardous substances are minimised,
no hazardous substance with significant risk will be brought on site without approval
from Doosan. Its subsequent use will be subject to appropriate controls to ensure
personnel know how to use the substance safely and only use the substance with the
correct PPE where appropriate. It is the company bringing the materials to the site,
responsibility to inform Doosan of the hazardous nature of the product.

It is mandatory that before any substance likely to affect EHS is brought to the site, a
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) shall be provided prior to the product arrival and
a copy maintained. Where the supplier cannot provide any further information due to
local limitations, the internet may be used to find the product or an exact alternative
which is of the same composition etc.

Copies of the MSDS sheets are to be held with the EHS department, First aid room,
storekeeper and area of use.

To ensure safe handling by all workers, risk level label shall be clearly marked on
each chemical container.

Secondary containments shall be arranged for hazardous material.

Appropriate training shall be conducted for users and other workers.

19.1.1.2 *A: discharge to water bodies used for domestic water supply
19.1.1.3 *B: discharge to water bodies not used for domestic water supply

The QCVN 24:2009/BTNMT specifies value limits for the parameters and concentrations of
substances in industrial. This standard is applied to control the quality of industrial wastewater
before being discharged into water bodies used for domestic water supply sources, other usage
purposes with lower quality requirements or into wastewater receiving resources. Total values for
industrial wastewater are calculated as below:
Cmax = C x Kq x Kf
Where:

Cmax is the maximum allowable concentration of pollutants in industrial wastewater when

discharged into receiving water body (mg/l);

C is the concentration of pollutants in industrial wastewater as stated in Table 1.6;

Kq is the coefficient of flowrate or volume of the receiving water body as stated in Table 1.7

Kf is the coefficient of flowrate of the discharge wastewater as stated in Table 1.8;
