Accident An Incident which has resulted in actual Injury and/or Damage (Loss) to Assets, the Environment, Social programs, Reputation or to 3rd Parties
Activity Work to be carried out as part of a process, characterized by a set of specific inputs and tasks that produce a specific set of outputs to meet Project requirements
As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)
Acronym of As Low As Reasonably Practicable ALARP is a demonstration that the risk of a favorite option, are
acceptable and/or comparable to other similar
developments. It requires consideration of all the hard and soft issues related to the range of options and a judgment decision with the full knowledge of all the option and their associated risks and costs. Represents the level or risk reduction at which the time, trouble, difficulty and cost of further reduction measures become unreasonable disproportionate to the additional risk reduction to be obtained. ALARP is determined through cost benefit analysis)
Assessment The process of analyzing and evaluating hazards, and involves causal and consequence analysis, and requires
determination of likelihood and risk
Cause Cause is an event that could result in the release of the hazard
Competent Person A person who, because of qualifications and experience, has the skills necessary to perform the stated duties (In the case of excavation this is to be a civil engineer with a minimum of 2 years practical experience in assessing ground conditions).
Consequence Consequence is the result of the release on the workforce, local population, or the environment
Cost Benefits Analysis Cost benefit analysis is the means by which the relative cost and benefits of a number of risk reduction measures are evaluated
Critical Facilities and Operation
Those in which there is a serious risk from incidents related to Health, Safety and Environmental
Employee Any person engaged in activities for the benefit of the Project or CONTRACTOR (SUBCONTRACTOR) and who receives payment, even on a temporary basis. This includes so called Day Labourers employed by the Project or
CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTORS and LOWER TIER SUBCONTRACTORS
Employment All work or activity performed in carrying out an assignment or request of the Project or Contractor, Subcontractor, including related activities not specifically covered by the assignment or request. This includes driving to and from a workplace
Excavation Any operation in which the earth is penetrated or removed, including (but not limited to): trenching, opening of pits, drilling bore holes, pile driving, digging of foundations, driving of earth stakes and pickets. An excavation is any man-made cavity or depression in the earth’s surface Excavation Permit A form that documents the work to be done, the checks that
have been carried out and the safety precautions to be taken, duly authorized by the CONTRACTOR/EMPLOYER AND/OR EMPLOYER PMC or delegate
Exposure Hour Exposure hours are the total number of hours worked including overtime and training but excluding leaves, sickness and other absences
Exposure Incident (Blood Borne Pathogens)
It is defined as a specific eye, mouth, or other mucous membrane, non-intact skin, or parental contact with blood, or other potentially infectious materials that results from an employee’s duties.
Illness, regardless of the time intervening between injury and death
Fatal Accident Rate (FAR)
The Rate is the number of work-related Fatalities per 100 million exposure hours
First Aid Case (FAC) A one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, and so forth, which do not ordinarily require medical care. Such treatment and
observation is considered first aid even though provided by a physician, or registered professional personnel
Good Samaritan Act Is first aid, given in an emergency, by either a trained or untrained person not designated as a first aid provider by his employer and whose duties do not normally require
providing first aid
Heat Stress A potentially serious condition resulting from strain on the temperature regulating capacity of the body, caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures or other confounding environmental factors
Hazard Hazard is the potential to cause harm, including ill health and injury, damage to property, products or the
environment, production losses or increased liabilities Incident An Incident is an unplanned event or chain of events, which
has, or could have caused injury or illness and/or damage [loss] to people, assets, the environment or reputation Injury Any injury such as a cut, fracture, sprain, amputation etc.,
which results from a single instantaneous exposure Lost Workday Case
(LWDC)
A Lost Workday Case is any work-related Injury, which in the opinion of a project appointed Medical practitioner, renders the injured person temporarily unable to perform any Regular Job or Restricted Work on any day after the day on which the injury was received. In this case “any day” includes rest days, weekend day, scheduled holiday, public holiday or subsequent day after ceasing employment. This definition deviates from OSHA guidance, which considers restricted work as a lost workday case. A single incident can give rise to several Lost Workday Cases, depending on the number of people injured as a result of that incident
Medical Treatment Case (MTC)
A Medical Treatment Case is any work-related Injury that involves neither Lost Workdays nor Restricted Workdays but which requires treatment by, or under the specific order of, a physician or could be considered as being in the province of a physician. Medical Treatment does not include First Aid even if this is provided by a physician or registered professional personnel
Injury or Occupational Illness and/or damage [loss] to people, assets, the environment or reputation, has not caused injury and or damage to assets, to a third party, or to the environment but had the potential to do so but which did not.
It is an event that signals a system weakness that if not remedied could lead to significant consequences in future. As such a near miss can be seen both an opportunity to improve safety practice based on a condition and an incident with a potential for more serious consequence. In this context “an incident” or “condition” is anything that a witness views worthy to address to eliminate a potential to cause harm. By this definition a wide variety of occurrence are defined as near miss.
These include:
Unsafe conditions Unsafe behaviours/acts
Minor accident/injuries that had potential to be more serious Events where injuries could have
occurred but did not
Events where property damage results Events where a safety barrier was
challenged
Events where a process safety function was challenged
Events where potential environmental damage could result
Occupational Illness It is any work-related abnormal condition or disorder, other than an Injury, which is mainly caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with the employment. It includes acute and chronic illness or disease, which may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion or direct contact. Whether a case involves a work-related Injury or an
Occupational Illness is determined by the nature of the original event or exposure, which caused the case, not by the resulting condition of the affected employee. An Injury results from a single event. Cases resulting from anything other than a single event are considered Occupational Illnesses
Third Party Third Parties are persons or organizations, which are not employed by or contracted to the Reporting EMPLOYER AND/OR EMPLOYER PMC or CONTRACTOR
Permanent Partial Disability
Any Work Injury, which results in complete loss, or
any permanent impairment of functions of parts of the body Permanent Total
Disability
Permanent Total Disability is any work-related injury, which permanently incapacitates an employee and results in termination of employment
Regular Job A Regular Job is one, which has not been established to accommodate an injured employee. It should be an existing job or task within the EMPLOYER AND/OR EMPLOYER PMC or CONTRACTOR’s organization, which the injured person is deemed competent to perform
Reputation The estimation in which persons or organizations are held; character; good name
Restricted Workday Case (RWDC)
A Restricted Work Case is an injury that results in a work assignment after the day the incident occurred that does not include all the normal duties of the person’s Regular Job. The restricted work assignment must be meaningful and pre-established or a substantial part of a Regular Job
Risk Risk represents the probability that an undesirable event will occur, combined with consideration given to the severity of the consequences of the event
Risk Classification Risk classification is a rating system used to represent the relative risk associated with a particular hazard. For the Project, the risk rating system shall be as prescribed by Risk Assessment Matrix
Road Traffic Accident An Incident that has involved a vehicle and which has resulted in Injury, Illness and/or damage [loss] to people, assets, the environment or the EMPLOYER AND/OR EMPLOYER PMC’s reputation
Scaffolding Scaffolding is defined as a temporary structure which provides access, or from which persons work, or which is used to support materials, plant or equipment. It can be divided into two types:
Unit formwork, Kwickstage, All Round or other types of purpose made frames or units.
Tube & Fittings: Individual tubes, of varying lengths, held together by individual couplers.
Scaffolding Tag A white plastic holder, marked in red, with the international prohibitive sign and the words “Scaffolding tag, Do not use Scaffold”, with an insert card, green on one side and yellow on the other (or equivalent system acceptable for
CONTRACTOR and EMPLOYER AND/OR EMPLOYER PMC)
including ill health and injury, damage to property, products or the environment, production losses or increased liabilities Trench A narrow excavation in which the depth is greater than the
width, although the width is not greater than 15 feet (4.5 m) Work Method
Statement
A Work Method Statement sometimes referred to as a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) or a Safe Work
Procedure, is a part of a workplace safety plan. It is
predominately used in construction to describe a document that gives specific instructions on how to safely perform a work related task, or operate a piece of plant or equipment. A work method statement is prepared for each task on a particular worksite.
Work related Fatality A related Fatality is a death resulting from a work-related injury or occupational Illness, regardless of the time intervening between injury/illness and death

RISK MANAGEMENT
9.1
General Hazards Identification and Risk Evaluation
Management techniques shall be adopted so that potential hazards are identified and evaluated prior to execution, thereby enabling either substitution or adoption of control techniques. These hazards may be identified at any stage of the Project e.g. existing drawings, site survey, investigations, constructability reviews, or emerge during the construction or commissioning phases.
Once hazards are identified, the risk to health and safety must be assessed. The assessment shall characterize the risk in terms of severity and probability. Knowledge gained through previous activities, resource studies, engineering studies, and other relevant Project evaluations will provide the basis for periodic assessment of the potential magnitude and likelihood of the occurrence of identified hazards.
Hazard assessments will be conducted to determine the level of risks, which can be summarized as:
Intolerable
Incorporate risk reduction measures Improve through HSE MS procedures
The worst-case consequences of each identified hazard will be assessed and a rank assigned. Effects are characterized as representing high, medium, or low risk or severity of consequences.
Where required by the risk assessment, a method statement shall be developed which at best would eliminate the risk or as a minimum, would contain the risk to an ALARP level.
CONTRACTOR will provide an “HSE Site Risk Management Procedure” in agreement with ADCO contractual requirement and CONTRACTOR’s standards. Risk assessment and preparation of Work Method Statements shall be undertaken in accordance with the following Risk management flow chart:
RISK MANAGEMENT FLOW CHART INITIAL Assessment PRIOR TO Site Mobilization Initial Information provided to Subcontractors
during bid stages. This
will only include high
risk rated items
TRA before Meeting held with all
Starting Subcontractors working in
ACTIVITIES one area
Method Statements passed
to all Field Supervisors
PRIOR TO
FIELD EXECUTION
CONTRACTOR’s Construction reviews the scope of work, identifies hazards and evaluates risks according to applicable corporate procedure and methodology.
Subcontractor undertakes detailed task risk assessments and provides method statements to demonstrate how risks will be mitigated
TCM and Subcontractors jointly review task risk assessments to ensure all interface are covered. Methods for mitigating risks are finalized.
Field Supervisors will make sure that mitigation measures are executed
9.2
Task Risk Assessment
The work Task Risk Assessment (TRA) is a structured, systematic technique for identifying the hazards associated with a work task, qualitatively assessing the risks and determining appropriate control measures.
Risk Evaluation and Management includes Methods and procedures for hazards and effects management; Assessment of exposure of the workforce to hazards and effects; Material data sheets for safe handling of chemicals; Hazards and effects management and the assessment of PPE requirements; Methods and procedures for waste management.
TRA must be conducted for all the jobs that fall in the one or more of the categories listed below, irrespective of Area Authority’s opinion:
All high risk tasks listed in PTW procedure
New tasks or tasks introducing new work methods, Non-routine or one-off tasks
Tasks involving a new procedure or changes in the procedure Tasks involving multi-craft
Simultaneous operations (SIMOPS)
Routine tasks being carried out in unusual circumstances e.g. new environment, new location etc.
Note: the Area Authority [as defined in the ADCO PTW procedure] is the
responsible person for ensuring that all tasks are assessed for the requirement for formal documented task risk assessment as per the requirements of above.
TRA must be carried out as a team exercise led by a TRA Team Leader and recorded in the Task Risk Assessment Form.
For all high risk jobs TRA must be authorized as per the level of authorization requirements stated in ADCO PTW procedure. Specific "Task Risk Assessment" and "Method of Statement" need to be scanned and added to the specific PTW, as Attachments, by the CONTRACTOR and its SUBCONTRACTORS.
Tool-box meetings must be used to summarize and highlight the essential points of the TRA, including any associated documentation.
Upon completion of the task an onsite de-brief among work team should take place to discuss and capture any learning. If there are any lessons learned then the TRA must be updated to reflect the most recent improvements with respect to hazard identification and hazard control or mitigation techniques.
CONTRACTOR will provide a detailed “Task Risk Assessment Procedure” in agreement with ADCO requirement and CONTRACTOR’s standards.
9.3
Work Method Statement
A Work Method Statement (WMS), sometimes referred to as a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS), it is predominately used in construction to describe a document
that gives specific instructions on how to safely perform a work related task, or operate a piece of plant or equipment. Method statements are widely used in construction as a means of controlling specific health and safety risks that have been identified (perhaps following the preparation of a task risk assessment) such as: lifting operations, demolition or dismantling, working at height (such as work on roofs), installing equipment, and the use of plant.
A WMS is prepared for each task on a particular worksite and is generally used as part of a safety induction and then referred to as required throughout a workplace. The WMS should outline all the hazards that are likely to be encountered when undertaking a task or process and should provide detailed guidance on how to carry out the task safely.
SUBCONTRACTOR shall provide for each planned activity a Work Method Statement (WMS) and related TRA for CONTRACTOR comments with due advance. The WMS is prepared by the SUBCONTRACTOR as a contractual obligation and reviewed by the CONTRACTOR team.
WMS is used as an awareness tool intended to reinforce and ensure
CONTRACTOR Supervisors and those of our SUBCONTRACTORs, execute the supervisory responsibility to analyze each work assignment for hazards and to give sound safety instruction to employees given the work assignments.
A WMS helps manage the work and ensures that the necessary precautions have been communicated to those involved.
The process of preparing a written WMS provides evidence that: Significant health and safety risks have been identified. Co-operation of workers has been ensured.
Safe, co-ordinated systems of work have been put in place. Workers have been involved in the process.
WMS should be written by a competent person who is familiar with the process being described and may need to be agreed between involved parties.
The contents of a WMS will vary with the work process being described however, they may contain:
Details of the organisation in control of the activity. Details of the individual responsible for the activity. A description of the activity.
A description of how the work will be managed.
The location of the activity, its boundaries, means of access and how it is segregated from other activities.
Plant and equipment required.
The procedure for changing the proposed method of work if necessary. A step by step description of the activities to be undertaken.
affected, including personal protective equipment and ventilation requirements.
Training procedures.
The need for specially-trained operators for certain activities.
Emergency procedures, including the location of emergency equipment. The handling and storage of materials and pollution prevention procedures. Temporary works designs.
The method for safeguarding existing structures.
9.4
Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk (STARRT)
The “Safety Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk” (STARRT) is a process that utilizes employees to identify and resolve environmental, safety, and health hazards
associated with a task prior to its being performed.
CONTRACTOR will provide a “Safety Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk (STARRT)” instruction in agreement with ADCO contractual requirements and CONTRACTOR standard.
