Once a risk is deemed tolerable it is continuously managed through proper controls and normal precaution.

Each activity should be listed on the form in the order it is accomplished. Avoid the common errors of making the breakdown so detailed that an unnecessarily large number of steps result, or making the job break down so general that basic steps are omitted. If a large number of steps result from the analysis (over 15), you should consider breaking that job into more than one JHA. It is important that the JHA accurately describes the work. Keep in mind that any JHA that is too broad is also a poor JHA. Identifying the Hazards Associated with each Job Step After all basic steps of the operation have been listed; next we need to examine each job step to IDENTIFY HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH JOB STEP. The purpose is to identify and list the hazards, which are possible in each step of the job. Some hazards are more likely to occur than others, and some are more likely to produce serious injuries than others. Consider all reasonable possibilities when identifying hazards. To make this task manageable we will work with basic types of accidents. The question we will ask ourselves is, “Could any of these accident types or hazards inflict injury to a worker?” The second JHA form is a list of potential hazards that are not all encompassing, but can be used to assist in the thought process. Controlling each Hazard The next part of the JHA process is to develop safe practices to eliminate or reduce potential accidents or hazards that have been identified for the job step: Less Hazardous Way to do the Job. Can a less hazardous way to do the job be found? Can an engineering revision take place to make the job or work area safer? Is there a better way to do the job? This requires determining the work goal and then analyzing various ways to reach the goal to see which way is safest. Is the work saving tools and equipment available that will make the job safer? Physical Conditions Can the physical conditions that created the hazard be changed? Physical conditions may be tools, materials, and equipment that may not be right for the job. These conditions can be corrected by engineering revisions, administrative revisions, or a combination of both. Change of Job Procedures If hazards cannot be engineered out of the job, can the job procedure be changed? Be careful here because changes in job procedures to help eliminate the hazards must be carefully studied. If the job changes are too difficult, long, or uncomfortable, then the employee will take risks or shortcuts to avoid these procedures. Caution must be exercised when changing job procedures to avoid creating additional hazards. For details see Job Hazard analysis table below. CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT GUIDE When there is a potential exposure to chemicals through inhalation, ingestion, skin absorption, or injection, personal protective equipment shall be utilized. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is any barrier worn on the body to reduce or eliminate a hazard. INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED will conduct a hazard assessment to identify the appropriate PPE for each work activity. Supervisors will perform a job specific orientation to inform his subordinate of the PPE requirements resulting from the hazard assessment. Examples of such PPE are: Hardhats, Safety goggles, Steel toe rain boot, Nose mask Safety shoes, Hand gloves Ear Muff Cover all TIPS ON SAFE HANDLING OF CHEMICALS Many chemical vapours travel close to the ground and accumulate in areas. Be aware of potential accumulation areas. Some chemicals are detectable by odour; however, do not rely on your sense of smell. Detection devices may be required to determine the presence of some chemicals. Many chemicals have immediate exposure effects. If there are any questions pertaining to chemical, refer to the MSDS for the chemical and / or your supervisor. Individual responsibility Use appropriate PPE Refer to the relevant SHOC card before using or coming in contact with. Chemical drum to be moved with aid of manual handling equipment are not allowed. Ask if you are not sure , never assume Accident Exposure / Spillage Know what to do (SEE SHOC CARD) Know location of safety, showers/eye washes and escape paths to be used in the event of spill or contamination. Disposal Disposal methods for chemical indicated on SHOC cards. Empty drum be removed from work sites for disposal in accordance with policy. CHAPTER 5 PLANING AND PROCEDURES EMPLOYEE BEHAVIOR Each employee has a personal responsibility to perform his or her job in a safe, professional manner. Horseplay, such as practical jokes, wrestling, fighting, hazing, etc., will not be tolerated and is prohibited. When working together, protect not only yourself, but avoid actions that might cause problems for your fellow employee. Smoke only in designated or approved areas. Long hair and/ or jewelry can be a hazard around machines with rotating and moving parts. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED desires to be an environmentally friendly company. We are concerned not only with the health and safety of those on our premises but also with those away from our premises who could be affected by our operations. It is important that any waste, which we generate, is disposed of correctly so it does not create an unacceptable risk to others and the environment. Your responsibilities are to follow established company rules pertaining to all disposal operations. Report any leaks or spills to your supervisor immediately. All containers for waste disposal must be labeled so they may be disposed of properly. Do not dispose of waste substances into sewers or surface water drains unless it has previously been approved to do such in agreement with established company procedures. If you are unfamiliar with proper disposal procedures, seek guidance from your supervisor prior to disposal activities. BASIC HSE RULES FOR ALL JOBS Know how to do the job. Examine new assignments to determine possible safety hazards. Help new or inexperienced employees by teaching them how to perform the job in the correct manner. Point out potential hazard. Use Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) to teach new or inexperienced employees job safety. If you are unsure about the safety of any operation, ask your supervisor. Take action to correct unsafe conditions in your area. Respect fellow employees. Warn them before proceeding with any operation that will affect their safety. Know local rules for emergency situations. A good practice is to think out in advance what you should do in various emergencies. Use safe working procedures at all times. Use stairs, walks, and gangways provided – do not take shortcuts, do not jump from elevated places. Running is prohibited, except for emergency purposes. Employees shall not wear any jewelry (other than wristwatches) while in areas requiring the use of hand tools, power tools, machinery and or equipment. Housekeeping is the responsibility of every employee. Upon the completion of each job, left over material and trash shall be removed. Tools and equipment shall be put in their proper place. Used or replaced parts shall be disposed of properly. Keep your work area clear of spills, i.e., oil, chemicals etc. Manholes, open hatches, loose grating and miscellaneous openings create hazards. Always keep openings covered or place guards or barriers around them. Dispose of waste material in designated containers. Report any cleanup problems that you cannot take care of yourself, but first secure the area. Use only INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED approved cleaners for cleaning purpose. Use approved soaps and cleaners provided for cleaning skill. Do not use solvents. Change oil-soaked or contaminated clothing. It may cause skin irritation and is a fire hazard. Learn how to lift properly and obtain help when moving or handling objects that are too heavy to move safely. Use proper tools and equipment maintained in good working condition. Use the right tool for the job. Dress properly with your PPE before job Horseplay is prohibited INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED approved first aid kits and first aid-trained personnel shall be available on all work locations. Walking on tank tops is prohibited except in designated walking areas or where fall-protection is provided. When operating in the vicinity of electric overhead lines, assume that all lines are energized. Never bring any conductive object (crane boom, back hoe, etc) closer to unguarded, energized overhead lines than the distances given below: CHAPTER 6 EMERGENCY RESPONSE Even with the most stringent preparations, emergencies still happen. It is the duty of each employee to be ever alert; to recognize emergencies, and to be prepared to take the proper action when an emergency occurs. Some emergencies require immediate action; others require studied action. Good judgment applied in each case will indicate the proper action necessary. This Emergency Plan (EP) is in place to ensure employee safety from fire and other emergencies. It provides a written document detailing the actions and procedures to be followed in case of emergency. SAFETY DRILLS Safety meeting shall be scheduled and conducted by the Department, or supervisor, on a monthly basis (at a minimum). Attendance is mandatory unless excused by a supervisor. The minutes of each meeting and names of those in attendance shall be documented. SITE EMERGENCY PROCEDURE The following procedure shall be followed strictly in the event of any emergency. In the event of an accident on site every employee should: Keep cool and avoid panic - Alert other workers around the scene of the accident. - Call the first Aider - Evacuate victim to retainer ship clinic to receive medical attention. - Make contact with base office to report the incident. - Report also to the client Representative on site. - Wait for further directive from management and clients Representative. EMERGENCY/CONTINGENCY PLAN In order to effectively handle emergencies, this plan and procedure shall be applied. To be able to do this satisfactorily, a good knowledge of foreseeable or likely emergencies is required. Our assessment of the whole job reveals three possible emergency situations these are work injury, fire out break, electric shocks and assault. WORK INJURY EMERGENCY First Aider will approach victim and render first aid treatment using available facility (first aid box) provided. Where further treatment is required, victim shall immediately be evacuated to our company retainership clinic. In serious cases where MEDEVAC facility would be needed, a call shall be made to clinic or section head and he will be given essential information about the accident. The company’s Managing Director and Project Engineer shall equally be informed. FIRE OUT BREAK EMERGENCY In the event of a small fire, it would be put out using portable fire extinguishers. Big fires require more technical approach and the trained fire fighter shall be invited to deal with the situation. Equally a call shall be made to inform the Project Engineer, Fire Dept, and retainership clinic Base office. In case of fire workers are advised to act as follows. Raise alarm to warn people in the vicinity Shut off power supply and remove any combustible materials near the fire Fight fire with appropriate firefighting equipment if it is safe to do so. Inform supervisor immediately Call fire services Leave scene of incident if life appears to be in danger and gather at the muster Point at the sound of the alarm for roll call Do not go back to work until told to do so. ASSAULT EMERGENCY In case of assault by host community or attack by men of the underworld the following attitude shall be displayed: - Do not retaliate any action from the attackers Watch the number of persons involved in the attack. Listen carefully and note their demands Immediately after the attackers have gone carry out muster action to ensure that all persons on site are safe. Follow established procedure for MEDEVAC if any person is injured. Obey as instructed by the attackers BASIC EVACUATION PROCEDURES All employees must study the evacuation plan, know the proper exits, corridors and responsibilities of their section. Each employee should know where to report upon evacuation, and should stay there until roll call is taken or a supervisory authority gives further instructions. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO RE-ENTER THE BUILDING ONCE EVACUATED, UNLESS AUTHORIZED AND UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. At “no time” will anyone be allowed to stand in, or block any exits or corridors, nor will they be allowed to remove any equipment such as files, etc. These areas must be kept clear for emergency personnel in rescuing, firefighting or removal of dangerous substances. The appropriate agency (either Fire or Police) will have the authority over employees in giving guidance for the direction of traffic flow for evacuation. The removal of office equipment, appliances, files, etc., will only be removed by the Fire Department or with the Fire Department’s granted authority to Company Officers. Department Managers or Supervisors will take the roll call at the employees assigned assembly point. In the event that a person is not accounted for, or there is some reason to suspect that an employee is in the building, “immediate notification” should be made the Fire Department. The removal of vehicles from the parking lot will be under the direct control and authority of the Fire Department. (In some cases the Fire Department may request that vehicles be removed so that heavy apparatus and equipment can be placed for the firefighting purposes if necessary. In other cases, due to time and attack procedures, the Fire Department may request that no vehicles be removed so no obstruction will interfere with the operations of the oncoming Fire Department vehicles with hose lines and other emergency equipment). EMERGENCY PROCEDURE In case of emergency, the staff of INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED shall be trained to respond immediately. The following emergency lines shall be notified. FIRE 112 MEDICAL 112 SECURITY 112 RETAINERSHIP CLINIC: KEZ CLINIC, 16 CHIEF WOPARA STREET, RUMUOMASI, PORT HARCOURT RIVERS STATE Tel: 084- 231055, CHAPTER 7 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN The nature of our business is such that the by-products/wastes could pose a threat to flora and fauna (plant and animals). In view of this however, we shall lay much emphasis on environmental concerns. As such we shall ensure the following considerations while working on a project. Carefully estimate the environmental hazards associated with our daily activities and make every necessary effort to minimize the negative environmental impact of such activities. Set up monitoring and assessment machinery. Carry out environmental pollution and protection audits seeking for remedial action where necessary. Some adverse environmental effects could be cause from used oil, which has formed sludge, mishandling of waste materials and scrap items. Proper and adequate care shall be taken to avoid the careless discharge of by-products into the environment. As such we shall ensure that disposal of waste are done by conventional methods, and that all work sites are reinstated to their original or better form before our final demobilizing from the project site. Toxic substances will be stored in such a way as to prevent accidental discharge into the environmental. In work areas where there are flammable gases, specific tests will be carried out and specific instruction will be obtained from the client before take- off of the project. Movement of people will be restricted from areas designated as hazardous and unsafe. Store materials very safely. Incident report must be prompt and accurate. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS These fall into three main categories in accident causation. Physical Category: Noise, vibration, radiation, illumination and temperature extremes. If operations on a machine produce high noise levels that can damage the workers' hearing, his communications with others may be impaired. Thus, the workers may be unable to warn one another of a hazard in time to avoid an accident. Chemical Category: Toxic fumes, vapours, mists, smokes and dust. In addition to causing illness, these elements often impair a worker's skill, reactions, judgment or concentration. A worker who has been exposed to the narcotic effect of some solvent vapours may experience an alteration of his judgment and move his hands too close to the cutting blade or unguarded part of a machine. Biological Category: Biological factors are those which are capable of making a person ill from contact with bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms or from contact with fungi or parasites. WASTE MANAGEMENT Waste management is a trivial issue; however, many times it is a contributing factor to occupational injuries and illness. Due to our type and location of operation i.e. Civil Engineering construction, we gather our waste into approved containers and at designated areas. Which in turn are disposed off by the refuse collection contractors who will now sort them and they will be taken to approved dumping site. That notwithstanding, we are concerned not only with the health and safety of those on our premises but also with those away from our premises, who could be affected by our operations. It is important that any waste, which we generate, is disposed off correctly so it does not create an unacceptable risk to others and the environment. The responsibilities of our work force with respect to managing waste as started in our policy are: Report all waste Waste must be disposed at the appropriate rate. Do not on your own dispose of waste substance in sewage or surface water drains. TYPE AND WASTE DISPOSAL TRACKING RECORD ACTIVITY Building Constructions Maintenance WASTE TYPE VOL. OF WASTE Broken blocks, In Wheel barrow and Sand and Aggregated debris Scrap Wood and In Wheel barrow Timbers Paper, Rags, Office In Wheel barrow wastes, Can, Bottles, etc. In Wheel barrow Scrap metals Excavated soils Tippers vegetation DISPOSAL & PLAN Cart away form site for use as road filling materials Cart away from site for disposal in Client Site of Government approved disposal site Segregate for recyclable and package others for disposal to approved disposal facility. Dispose to Recycling facility Use in forming location bund wall CHAPTER 8 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH The management will ensure that there is/are retainer-ship clinic available for use by personnel. The names and addresses of the clinic be made known to all staffers. All staff of the company shall be medically certified by the acknowledgement retainer-ship clinic. The certificates of fitness duly signed and stamped by the clinic shall be documented in the office and sites of work. For very major projects, INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED will establish site clinics, fully equipped and with site nurse. But for all projects, there should be on site, fully equipped first aid box available and first Aider. HEALTH AND IT’S OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this HSE Plan is the safe commencement and execution of this project without any accident. This can be achieved in the following ways: Have an accident-free operation during our working, travelling and domestic life. Reduce the rate of lost time injury (LTI), if any, to its barest minimum. support the campaign to keep the environment clean Increase the HSE awareness of the company. Incorporate HSE in our monthly, weekly and daily site meetings, as an Agenda for discussion Enforce the constant use of appropriate 'Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the right tools for the job. Ensure that permit to work is enforced at the work-sites Provide adequate First-Aid Boxes and trained First Aider in the work-sites. FIRST AID BOX/ACCESSORIES A first aid box will also be provided on site for use by the first Aider/site nurse in administering first aid treatment when the need arises. The content of the first aid box shall include the following in accordance with client's standards: 1. Paracetamol Tabs (Used for the relief of body pain. 2 tabs for 3 times daily.) 2. Oral rehydration (Used to replace lost body fluid. Mix with a sachet with 2 mineral bottles filled with clean water.) 3. Crepe Bandage (To keep dressing and splint in position.) 4. Cotton Bandage (To keep dressing in position.) 5. Triangular Bandage (Used as a sling to support part of the body.) 6. Cotton Wool Ball (Used for cleaning of wounds.) 7. Gauze Swabs (Used for wound covering.) 8. Hibitane lotion (Used for wound cleaning.) 9. T.B.C Lotion (Used to stain superficial abrasion.) 10. Handy Plaster (To cover minor wounds.) 11. Methy sal (Ben Gay) Topical application for the relief of muscular aches and pain. At the commencement of the project, sufficient quantities shall be provided, but as work progresses, stock will be replenished based on the advice of the site nurse. In order to monitor dispensing of drugs and treatment, a first aid register will be provided for recording all cases. House Keeping on Job Sites It is necessary to keep a clean and tidy work environment for the comfort and convenience of the workers as they arise in the work site and convey wastes so gathered to the clients approved dump site or borrow pit for final disposal. a. Good housekeeping shall be maintained in stores, yards, building, vehicles, and job sites. Supervisors shall be responsible for proper housekeeping in or around the work they are supervising. b. Walks, aisles, stairways, fire escapes, and other passageways shall be kept clear of obstructions and tripping hazards, fire extinguishers, etc shall be kept clear of obstructions. c. Tools and materials shall not be placed where they fall and strike anyone. d. Nails in boards, such as those removed from sheathing, scaffolds, forms, and packing boxes, shall be removed and boards carefully stacked or stored, if they are to be reused. If such boards are to be added to a scrap pile for burning, nails should be bent over or removed. e. Scrap materials of salvage value shall be promptly stored until suitable arrangements are made. f. Dirty and oily waste rags, trash, and other waste materials shall be deposited in approved containers and disposed of as soon as practicable. g. Employees shall co-operate in keeping rest rooms, drinking cups, locker rooms, and other facilities in a neat and sanitary condition. CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED set out specific objectives, strategies and targets to ensure safe operations. Operation activities are planned and executed in accordance to government and CLIENT safety standard procedures KEY OBJECTIVES Motivate and guide employees through HSES plans to ensure that safety performance exceeds that of previous years. Disseminate all safety information to personnel and sub-contractors Appraise competency level of personnel Improve community relationship interaction to check utmost result in the New Year. For the purpose of getting this target the following definitions are necessary:FATALITY:A death resulting from work injury regardless of the time intervening between injury and death. LOST TIME INJURY: (LTI) Work related injury which rendered the injured unable to perform regular job or restricted work on any day after the day on which the injury occurred. RESTRICTED WORK CASE (RWC) A work related injury which result in a work assignment after the day on which the accident occurred, does not include all duties of the person’s regular job. FIRST AID CASE (FAC) Any one time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters and so forth which do not ordinarily require medical cure. NEARMISS ACCIDENT A near miss accident is an accident which does not result in any injury or damage. HAZARD MANAGEMENT Hazard management Form. All unsafe act, unsafe condition, health pollution, environment disorder, security lapses or any breach of HSE rules / regulations are recorded in this form Similarly potential HSES hazards are identified as well as immediate corrective action taken. Action to prevent reoccurrence and action line is also captured. Hazard management Register. This is complied weekly by the site engineer uplifting HSES lapses and potential hazard brought to his attention through the hazard management form, up to the week in question. The project engineer (CLIENT) also keeps this form (Attach Hazard management Register) Incident Notification Form INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED recognises the need to learn from the past to avoid having reoccurring accidents. Find attach incident notification form. HSE TARGETS The INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED HSE target is geared towards managing risk within INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED, to assure the protection of all her staff, sub contractors, assets, reputation and also the protection of the environment she operates within. The INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED HSE target is an integral part of the INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED’ HSE manual and incorporates the means of meeting the requirements of its client and community. The purpose of the target is to ensure that all activities within the function are planned carried out, controlled and directed in a manner that meets our objectives. This will further demonstrate that all procedures are in place and working effectively.

The company’s Safety Officer has the responsibility of relaying all accident details to our Managing Director and client’s representative. Our representative will carry out a thorough investigation of the accident to determine the underlying causes and advice on the necessary action to prevent future reoccurrence. Such investigation report will be submitted immediately to the Project Engineer. In accident cases involving a Lost Time Injury (LTI),and fatal accident, the Managing Director will lead the investigation team. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION Introduction One of the essential features of effective safety management is the thorough investigation and follows up of accidents. The main objective of accident investigation is to prevent recurrence of similar accidents by identifying deficiencies and recommending remedial actions. Follow up should ensure that those actions are implemented. Most accidents have more than one cause. Studies have shown that the accidents can have 20 factors and underlying causes often exist away from the site of the accident. Proper identification of such causes requires timely and methodical investigation, going beyond the immediate evidence and looking for deep rooted conditions which may form the basis for future accidents. The right approach to any accident or near miss is that it could be an indication of deficiency or failure in the management of the operation. Every accident should be investigated, although the level of investigation and detail of the investigation will vary and will depend on the actual or potential injury, damage or loss. Management must support and be involved in investigations and be prepared to act on resulting recommendations. Commitment is best demonstrated when a thorough and objective investigation is carried out by capable investigators and prompt action is taken to correct deficiencies. The Investigation Process The accident investigation process comprises the following consecutive stages: Accident report Inquiry Board Meeting Establish the facts Analysis of Investigation findings, Positive Recommendations and Follow up. 1. Accident Report An accident report form should be filled within 24 hours of an accident. Even though the personnel involved in the accident may not be available to assist in the making of an accident report, it is important to make a preliminary report as soon as possible: Advise operations so that alerts can be sent immediately to all other locations. The accident report should be factual, and avoid hearsay, assumptions, and preliminary conclusions. The accident report must be signed by the site manager before it is forwarded to higher levels of management. 2. Inquiry Board Meeting: The inquiry board should be made up of: The Supervisory Engineer The next Line Manager The Location and/or District Safety Officer Other Field Service Managers and Staff Experts from outside the location as necessary these people must be from within the INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED Where the incident calls for an independent report to be submitted to a client or the local authorities. In the last case, it is useful that the instructors are consultants rather than employees. In such a case their report can be considered independent. Generally, it is best to limit the attendance to those directly involved or those who can give positive input. Too many people from too high a level will restrict the flow of information. a. Function of the Inquiry Board Establish the Facts Analysis of Investigation findings Make Positive Recommendations Ensure Proper Corrective Action and follow up is done. b. Timing Investigations should be carried out as soon as possible after the accident. The quality of evidence can deteriorate rapidly with time, and delayed investigations are usually not as conclusive as those performed with dispatch. A prompt investigation is a good demonstration of Management concern for safety. c. Scope The scope of the Investigation can be divided into four areas: Personnel Technique Third Party/Environment Organization In each of these areas, conditions, actions or omissions may be identified which could be factors contributing to the accident or to subsequent injury, damage or loss. 3. Establish the Facts The objective of the investigation is to collect as many facts as possible which may help understanding of the accident and the events surrounding it. The initial stages of every investigation should gather and record all the facts which may be of interest in determining causes. At this point it must be emphasized that the purpose of the Inquiry Boards is NOT TO ESTABLISH BLAME or decide PUNISHMENT. It is to determine corrective ACTION. A trap to avoid in any investigation is that of reaching conclusions too early, and consequently failing to keep an open mind and to consider the full range of possibilities. a. Background Information It may sometimes be appropriate to obtain background information before visiting the accident site. For example: General procedures for the type of operation involved; Records of instructions/briefings given on the particular job being investigated; Location plans; Command structure and persons involved. b. How to gather facts In investigating an accident a systematic approach has to be taken to establish all the relevant facts about how the accident occurred. In order to complete a thorough investigation the following approach should be taken: Inspection of the accident location Interviewing of all personnel involved Establishment of underlying causes. 4. Inspection of the Accident Location Important evidence can be gained from observations made at the scene of the accident, particularly if equipment remains as it was at the time of the accident. Similarly, witness' statements can usually be better understood and verified if discussed at site. It is not possible to set rules on 'freezing' equipment and/or keeping people at a location, but as far as possible the site should be kept 'as is' until at least a preliminary investigation has taken place. This is not always feasible, as rescue operations or the presence of residual hazards and/or congestion may justify moving some of the equipment. Local legislation may prescribe that for certain classes of accident, e.g. fatality or motor vehicle accident; nothing may be moved without prior permission from nominated persons. Photographs and/or video film will assist investigation and may have use later for training purposes. Sketches can be useful in the absence of film or photographs. The investigators should be looking for any conditions in the immediate environment which could have contributed to the accident. Items to check include: Position of sun/time of day Effects of weather, wind, rain, dust clouds Road topography Road verge, condition Position of all equipment at site of accident Condition of equipment facilities Illumination of location/site State of housekeeping Presence/absence of warning notices Presence of witnesses, unauthorized people Evidence of spills/release, colours/discoloration Use of excessive forces. a. Interviews Interviews should be carried out individually so that witnesses are not influenced by each other. Witnesses should be asked to go step-by-step through the events surrounding the accident, describing both their own actions and the actions of others. The value of a witness's statement can be greatly influenced by the style of the style of the interviewer, whose main task is to listen to the witness' story and not to influence him/her by making comments or asking leading questions. This requires patience and understanding. If the investigation is a team effort, great care should be taken not to make a witness feel intimidated by too many interviewers. It should be remembered that an investigation team is often seen in a prosecuting role, and there may be a reluctance to talk freely if people think they may incriminate themselves or their colleagues. An investigator is not in a position to give immunity in return for evidence, but must try to convince interviewees of the purpose of the investigation and the need for frankness. At the end of an interview, the discussion should be summarized to make sure that no misunderstandings exist. Any anomalies in the statement or conflict with other evidence should be discussed, the interviewee being invited to clarify points as necessary. b. Conflicting Evidence It is not unusual for different witnesses to have different account of the accident. Human memory is notoriously erratic, and even if not motivated by self-protection or other subjective arguments, one person's recollection of an accident can differ from another's in quite important details. Investigators should note any significant differences in accounts of an event. Faced with conflicting witnesses' statements, investigators should look for the similarities between the statements and commonalty with other evidence. CHAPTER 10 HSE AUDIT, REVIEW AND INSPECTION HSE Management shall form an integral part of overall site operation and made alive responsibility. Supervisors who directly assign duties to workers must advise them on safety precautions compliance as the job progresses. The Safety Officer shall carry out general HSE audit inspection weekly. Company management team shall carry out monthly HSE audit on site. There shall also be technical safety audit on equipment done by trained professionals. All the observations made during the audit shall be documented and communicated through the line and shall be followed up. Reports on the various audits shall form integral part of the agenda in safety meeting and tool box talk. The following committees will be established and recognized by management and workers alike. (a) The Advisory Committee - will operate on a trip-partite basis and shall operate at a higher level of safety policy making. They shall comprise of representatives from the inspectorates, trade union and personnel department. (b) The Consultative Committee - this shall be responsible for specific health, safety and environmental problem. It shall be their duty to gather the available expertise together, consult that expertise and then decide on a course of action. The onus though is always on the individual to take some form of action to resolve a problem. (c) The Recommendations Committee - this has the authority to discuss problems and to recommend to management appropriate course of action. It may not have authority to see that its recommendations are in fact adopted. (d) The Executive Committee - this shall be chaired by a Chief Executive with the authority to ensure that decisions reached by the committee are implemented. It may have a budget to finance its day to day business. Their task and targets are as follows: The promotion of co-operation between management and employers in safety and welfare. Instigating, developing and carrying out measures deemed necessary to at work. Studying accident and health statistics and trends. Examining safety inspection/audit reports and making recommendations improvement. Assist in the development of health, safety and environmental rules and Maintaining a watching brief on safety training and publications. matters affecting health, ensure health and safety for correction or practices. Below is Audit plan for INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED schedule of HSE Performance Review & Audit Plan PERIOD AUDITORS First quarter January – march MD, safety officer and site engineer Second quarter April – June Safety office, foremen, and site nurse Third Quarter July – September Admin manager, safety officer and QC Fourth Quarter October - December Safety officer, site engineer and MD CHAPTER 11 WORK METHOD/CRITICAL ACTIVITY INTRODUCTION Accident don’t just occur, they are caused. Statistics has shown that most accidents occurred because the proper working procedures were not adopted. All INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED staff is aware of this trend. We have taken time to analyze the scope of work for and to develop work procedures aimed at successful completion of the job. The work procedures are segmented as follows. Pre-mobilisation inspection Site mobilisation. Provision of HSE requirements Permit to work (PTW) excavation permit system Site clearing Procurement of materials Miscellaneous work / alterations Landing scraping Demobilization Commissioning and hand over. PRE-MOBILISATION INSPECTION Pro to sending our staff, materials, plant and equipment to site, a team of engineers from OUR CLIENTS will carry out inspection on all items to be used to ensure that they are in good working order, safe property certified and insured. This inspection forms part of the mobilization which can only be certified complete with all necessary personnel and equipment, materials and site facilities are present on site and work is ready to commence. INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED wants to assure HER CLIENTS that all materials required for the proper execution of projects will be available when required MOBILISATION This shall involved the mobilization to site all necessary personnel, equipment and materials and generally made ready to commence work PROVISION OF HSE REQUIREMENT The management of HSE related issues has been an integral part. INDEXPRO INT’L SERVICES LIMITED business and as such all HSE requirement will be provided prior to the commencement of the project bearing in mind that all hazards have been systematically identified and the full implication of all their potential effects known and addressed. This includes all implications of hazards on all person affected by operations, this impact on the environment and host communities.
