12 HEALTH AND SAFETY BASICS

ALCOHOL & DRUGS
Possession, distribution or being at work while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is forbidden.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
All personnel, including visitors, who work on or visit our construction sites shall wear as a minimum:

．Safety shoes
．A hard hat
．High visibility jacket
and task-specific PPE when required as defined by task specific risk assessment:
．Safety glasses
．Hearing protection
．Safety gloves
For activities in third party premises, specific PPE must be defined after task risk analysis.

TRAFFIC
Obey traffic regulations both on-and off-site.

Horizontal and vertical walkways and travel paths should be designed to prevent slip, trips and falls. Walkways be made of suitable materials and should be well lit for pedestrian traffic and work activities.

Each site must have a plan to segregate mobile equipment and vehicle roadways from pedestrian traffic.

PRE-TASK BRIEFING
The workers start their day with a warm-up and daily briefing.

They will formally share any experiences from the previous day whilst being allocated new tasks for the day ahead(incl. potential risks identifications.)

RISK ANALYSIS
No work can commence without:
．A clear definition of the task
．An assessment of safety and health risk(short or long-term) associated with method statement, the working environment and mitigation measures.
． A formal training for task and risk overview is to be conducted

Any technical or organizational changes of a task shall only proceed with a re-assessment of the risks and amendment in the plan; with an upgrade of training if required.

ERGONOMICS
To maintain health and well-being of employee, tasks that generate constraints must be analyzed to remove, replace or reduce the ill health impact.

In particular, mechanical means must be embedded into the design principle to limit the effects of vertical of horizontal handling operations.

STABILITY
Temporary structures, equipment of plant (form panels, formwork, precast elements, scaffolding, etc.) must be installed and stabilized as per approved technical guidance and method statement. Their stability must be maintained throughout all phases and differing

locations of the work environment.

HAZARDOUS ENERGY CONTROL
Work on energised systems can only be performed after formal switching off and isolation has been proven.

Do not perform any work on electrical systems without checking first that it has been rendered de-energised/isolated by the appointed personal and placed in a locked off position. The appointed person and the person performing the work must check physical isolation.

TOOLS
No work can be carried out without appropriate tools that are designed for the task and its environment. These must be inspected regularly and maintained appropriately.

COLLECTIVE PROTECTION
All work at height that should be carried out from a fixed or mobile platform of from a scaffold with guard or handrails designed for the task and shall be subject to inspection before use.

Access to working platforms must be built from a metallic stabilized structure designed to prevent falls. Temporary stairs or stair towers must be used as a means of access to working platforms. Use of ladder or stepladders as working platforms is prohibited.

WORK AT HEIGHT
On working platforms an all-around fall protection system must be used where practicable.  Protection systems must be stiff and fit for purpose to protect from falls from heights, falling objects or projectiles.

INTERVENTION
In the event of seeing unsafe acts or conditions, it is everyone’s duty to intervene:
． Stop, analyze and correct if possible,
． Otherwise stop the job and report to your management.
