recurrence?
d. To recommend remedial action.
e. To publish findings in a report distributed as appropriate.
It is the responsibility of the location supervisor to initiate the report and the Safety
Department to investigate the accident as soon as practically possible. Accident
investigation and reporting will provide a systematic and effective method for
recording and investigating occupational illness and work related accidents which
have or could have caused injury, damage or loss in order to identity causes for
occupational illnesses, accidents and prevent similar or associated occurrence in the
future.

(whether permanent or temporary works)
*NOTE: All electrical work will be covered by the Permit to Work System, which
will include the Lockout/Tag out System. In this case, the consultant
Permit To Work System shall be complied with.
PROCEDURES
a. Equipment
Equipment will be inspected and tested according to Contractors preventative
maintenance practices and all recognized standards. During operation of these
procedures, if items are found to be faulty, they will be removed from service
immediately. If they cannot be repaired they will be removed from Site. Records
will be kept to show such action.
b. Insulation
During routine inspections and tests, the insulation of electrical items will be
checked. Where it is found to be damaged or incomplete the item will be
removed from service. All wiring will be insulated and where there is a
possibility of physical damage the wiring must be further protected by metal
conduits or armoring. Insulation will be provided at all locations where it is
possible for workers to come into contact with live equipment.
c. Earthing
Earth cables will be tested for continuity and resistance to ensure that they are
effective for that particular application. Remedial action will be taken where they
are found inadequate or ineffective. Until such remedial action is taken the item
of equipment will be taken out of service.
Earthing or bonding conductors must be of adequate cross-sections area for the
safe carriage of any expected fault current for the time it takes the fuse to operate
and disconnect the supply.
d. Isolation Procedures
Detailed as a part of the Permit to' Work System. Isolations are intended to
prevent accidental contact with live electrical equipment.
Work cannot officially be carried out on electrical systems until a Competent
Person has indicated, in writing, on a work permit, that he has isolated the
system by means of locks, using the lock out/tag out procedure. The person
issuing the work permit must witness the isolation.
e. Work in the Vicinity of Live Equipment
366694660.doc Page 36 of 86

These will be constructed of non-conducting material and will be clearly visible.
Access below the power lines will be restricted by barriers to where the "goal
posts" are located.
f. Excavations
Excavations normally come under the permit to work system. Where there are
known or suspected underground services the work will be regulated by the
permit to work system.
The underground service will be uncovered by hand digging first. it will then be
clearly marked for the benefit of all workers especially machine operators.
g. Unauthorized and untrained people

Job Safety procedures will indicate the duties of all workers involved. Job
supervision must be adequate to enforce procedures and guard against
Unauthorized or untrained workers from performing certain tasks. Workers will
be instructed in how to recognize the tasks they are authorized to undertake and
to understand the possible consequences of disregarding regulations.
8.10 PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM
QBEC personnel assigned to supervise works that are required to be executed under
permits shall attend the Permit To Work (PTW) system-training course as conducted
and organized by RAS LAFFAN. Only those people authorized and trained in
accordance with PTW system may supervise works that are to be permitted.
The objective of the PTW is to ensure that written permission and authorization is
given to carry out the defined work which is potentially hazardous and that all
possible measures are taken to maintain the safety of the personnel and equipment
that may be affected by the works.
A copy of the work permit must be given to the foreman, charge hand, or supervisor
(PTW certified) assigned to carry out the work for their reference. It shall be
displayed at the work location in the approved permit holder.
Please refer to the PTW Procedure of the consultant.
8.11 EXCAVATION
Numerous underground services often exist on construction sites. In such cases,

refer to ' Buried Services'. All Greenfield sites should be checked out to ensure no
services pass within the area. Local plans should be obtained from all utility units.
For "Greenfield" areas, follow the general requirements listed below;
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (CHECK LIST)

angle to prevent cave-ins. (The safe angle varies with different types of soil, exposure
366694660.doc Page 38 of 86
Revision 12
to elements and superimposed loads. There is no single angle of repose. Soil

classification must be identified to select safe sloping and benching methods.)
8.12 FIRE PREVENTION

Fire prevention means taking necessary action to prevent fire and explosion. One of
the most important parts of any job plan action is to eliminate the potential of
accidental fire and explosion.
When the potential of fire and explosion is removed from the work or activity, a
major hazard is eliminated. This prevents injury to workmen, damage or loss to
property.
Normally, portable fire extinguishers are adequate on construction sites. Other fire
fighting services, such as use of fire-water mains/hoses or fire trucks will also be
needed.
FIRE WARDENS
A Fire Warden and alternative Fire Warden will be appointed for each office and
work area. Their names will be posted in visible locations.

8.18 PILE DRIVING

Pile driving machines are classed as "lifting appliances" and require inspection,
maintenance and periodic testing/certification.
Nowadays, most piles are made of precast concrete, varying in length, thickness and
weight and pile driving machines can be rigged/adapted with different size "drop-
hammers" to suit.
However while "driving" piles, machines become subject to extreme "shock-loading"

conditions, which cause "rapid" wear of moving parts, hoisting mechanisms/ropes
and leakage from couplings and hoses etc. When a failure occurs there will be a very
high risk of injury and damage to surrounding plant, thus the need for constant
inspection of machines by trained personnel is crucial.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (CHECK-LIST)
a. Ensure that pile driving machines are in good working condition accompanied
by their relevant inspection/test certificates (thorough examination is required
every 12 months).
b. All hoses should be supported/tied to prevent "whip lashing" if a connection

breaks.
c. All fluid-lines should have "easy to reach" shut-off valves.
366694660.doc Page 45 of 86
Revision 12
d. All sheaves/winch gear should be adequately guarded, to prevent entanglement.
e. If underground services exist, refer to section -BURIED SERVICES.
f. Ensure that proposed working area ground conditions are firm/level.
g. Piling machine operators will have a "certificate of competence", or other

approved qualification. Supervisors, banksmen and slingers must be trained and
attired with safety helmets, safety boots, gloves and hearing protection.
h. Piling machines must be equipped with a 6kg multi-purpose dry powder fire
extinguisher. When timber "driving spacers" are being used, a bucket of water
will be required for soaking/cooling purposes.
i. Ensure that piles are being stacked within easy reach of the piling machines (one
"leader" length is recommended) and that "tag lines" are being used when piles
are being lifted.
j. All other site personnel must be informed of the restrictions (piling zones),
appropriate barriers/signs to be observed and noise/hearing protection
requirements.
k. Check that piles are in good condition and that they have not been "fractured"
during transportation (damaged/fractured piles can break-up or shatter when
being lifted or "driven").
I. When pile driving commences, ensure that all workers are standing well-clear.
m. When not in use, "drop-hammers" should be lowered to the ground.
n. Noise levels from piling may exceed the 85dba limit, all persons who have to
work inside the zone must wear ear protection.
*NOTE: Piling machines/equipment must be regularly inspected for wear or

damage and be included in the Company's PLANNED MAINTENANCE
INPECTION PROGRAMME.

9.2 NOISE
As far as practical, QATAR BUILDING ENGINEERING COMPANY, will use the
best of methods to eliminate excessive/loud noise levels during both construction
and commissioning phases of the project. However in areas where this cannot be
reasonably achieved, hearing protection zones will be established and sign-posted
and PPE worn above 85db.
Certain tasks will be classed as high noise tasks and will require adequate hearing
protection. e.g. using percussion or pneumatic drills, operating bulldozers, air
blowing pipe work etc.
9.3 WASTE MANAGEMENT
Inadequate waste management may lead to significant environmental damage

and financial liabilities. It is therefore in the interest of QBEC and all its employees
to ensure that all times waste is handled in a proper manner.

detailing damage to any permanent or temporary structures, plant, scaffoldings,
ladders or access that may adversely effect safety. The different Managers will
ensure that arrangements are made for the effected area to be made safe before
re-opening that part of the site.
12.0 BURIED (UNDERGROUND) SERVICES
Majority of accidents involving buried services are caused by failure to locate

position of cables and pipes before excavation or by subsequent failure to take all
practical precautions while excavation is in progress. It is therefore essential that a
Safe System of work is laid down and implemented.
