FOREWORD

Safety Rules are provided to ensure that work can be undertaken without hazard from power
station equipment.

The Safety Rules are mandatory. It is the duty of every person who may be concerned with
work on the system to make themselves thoroughly familiar with the Safety Rules and
appropriate support documents. In addition all persons have a general duty to be conversant
with and to observe statutory requirements relating to any activities with which they have an
involvement.

It shall be the duty of every employee to take reasonable care for the health and safety of
his/herself and other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work.

If, whether intentionally or through neglect or carelessness, an employee fails to observe the
Rules, or unnecessarily endangers the personal safety of either themselves or others, that
employee will be liable to disciplinary action and render his/herself liable to prosecution.

These Rules are based upon the Health and Safety policy statement.

and
ii. Safety Rules Codes of Practice

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. INTERPRETATIONS

1.1 When 'shall' is used in these Rules with no qualification, this indicates a
mandatory requirement with no discretion permitted and no judgement to be
made.

1.2 When 'shall, where practicable' is used to qualify a requirement, a slightly less
strict standard is imposed. It means that where it is possible to achieve in the
light of current knowledge and invention, but bearing in mind the hazards
associated with work to be undertaken, then the requirement must be met. One
is not allowed to avoid the requirement on the grounds of difficulty,
inconvenience or cost.

1.3 When 'shall, where reasonably practicable' is used to qualify a requirement then
a judgement must be made as to what is reasonable, taking into account the
magnitude of the risk on the one hand and the cost, time and trouble, or effort
necessary for averting the risk on the other hand.

1.4 When used in these Rules, the term 'work' may include testing.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 All persons with responsibilities under these Safety Rules must possess
sufficient knowledge and/or experience to avoid Danger. They must have
received training for the roles they are to perform under the Safety Rules.
2.2 Any person receiving instructions in the application of these Safety Rules shall
report to the person giving those instructions any objections on safety grounds
to carrying them out. Any such objections must be dealt with in an Approved
manner.

2.3 If a hazard arises or is suspected during the course of work which could give
rise to Danger, the work shall cease, the situation shall be reported immediately
and all persons withdrawn from the Plant and Apparatus concerned.

2.4 In addition to these Safety Rules, other associated rules issued by the Company
or other authorities and the requirements of supporting mandatory documents
must be complied with.

3. GENERAL SAFETY

3.1 In addition to the requirements for establishing Safety from the System
specified in these Safety Rules, General Safety must be maintained at all times
at and in the vicinity of the place of work. Supervisors must ensure that General
Safety is established, monitored and maintained. During the course of work,
members of the Working Party must maintain General Safety and ensure that
other work areas are not adversely affected by their activities.

3.2 The discharging of responsibility for General Safety will be achieved as part of
the normal pattern of management delegation and control by ensuring that all
activities are in accordance with appropriate guidance or written
instructions/procedures.

4. EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1 Work on Plant and Apparatus which is part of the System and to which these
Rules cannot be applied, or for special reasons should not be applied, should
be carried out in accordance with an Approved written procedure.
