1. General
This document is to provide information to SUBCONTRACTOR for executing the WORK. It
gives minimum requirements and may be augmented by Company to give additional
requirements that are specific to a certain location or OWNER.
It does not release SUBCONTRACTOR in any way from his obligation to observe the
applicable legal regulations and requirements.
Key words are as defined in the General Conditions of Subcontract. Such words are
shown in capitals.
2. Safety Policy
2.1 Introduction
It is Company's policy to ensure that each person at the SITE works in a safe and
healthful environment. It is Company's objective to have an accident-free SITE.
To accomplish this, Company has their own Safety, Health, Welfare and Environmental
(SHWE) Program. The purpose of Company's Safety Program is primarily preventive.
Company aims to provide a work environment in which accidents cannot happen.
Conditions which may cause accidents must be located and corrected in a timely way in
order to accomplish this aim.
SUBCONTRACTOR shall prepare his own Safety Plan for the WORK which, as a minimum,
shall cover the requirements as specified in this document.
SUBCONTRACTOR's Safety Plan shall also cover any specific safety items which are
related to the type of WORK which SUBCONTRACTOR is executing.
SUBCONTRACTOR shall submit his Safety Plan to Company for approval. When necessary
Company will augment SUBCONTRACTOR's Safety Plan from their own Safety Plan for the
WORK.
Written safety programs do not always cover a specific work operation. It is expected
that SUBCONTRACTOR will consult with Company regarding safety aspects of all
nonstandard operations and shall perform work location and hazard analysis.
In the final analysis, a common sense approach on the part of everyone concerned is the
best asset in achieving an accident-free SITE.

aims to provide a work environment in which accidents cannot happen.
Full cooperation in implementing the EH&S program by all personnel on the site in the
performance of their activities is expected at all times. Personnel may be subject to
disciplinary action for infractions of the relevant rules and regulations.
In the final analysis, a common sense approach on the part of everyone concerned is the
best asset in achieving an accident-free site.
Environmental, Health and Safety Rules and Site Regulations have been established as
Companys minimum rules applicable to the work. Refer attachment 2. Subcontractors
may have similar and will have additional rules for their specific activities covered in
their safety plan..
3. Governing Rules, Organization and Responsibility

3.1 Governing Rules
The work shall be executed in strict accordance with all relevant laws as well as
regulations and provisions issued by competent authorities, Company and client (fill in
client name ) at any time during construction.
In case of conflict between the various rules and regulations, the more stringent shall
apply unless additional statements are made giving additional information about the
status of specific rules and regulations.
(Check whether this line of authority will be applicable for specific project.
Check what to do with client rules if conflicting).
3.2 Organization
For the Company Construction Management organization chart for this project see ref.
16.2.
The EH&S related responsibilities and authorities of the individual functions are
addressed/ referred in section 3.3.
3.3 Responsibilities
3.3.1 General
Company as well as the individual subcontractor(s) will take responsibility for an
effective implementation of the EH&S Plan. In order to achieve this effective
implementation, delegation of EH&S responsibilities is necessary.
All Company site management personnel have the authority to stop work if an unsafe
condition exists and have to ensure that immediate remedial action is taken.
Subcontractors must ensure that their supervisors have the same authority to stop work
and to initiate remedial action if an unsafe condition exists. Subcontractors' EH&S plans
shall state this authority.
Company
The prime responsibility for safety, health, welfare and environment on site rests with the
Project Construction Manager.
Responsibility for the implementation, acceptance and enforcement of the EH&S plan is
with the construction line supervision. They are the key to the effective prevention of
accidents and the preservation of the environment through effective control of site
operations.
The Company Safety Engineer has responsibility in providing management and line
supervision with the necessary services, guidance and promotion activities relating to an
effective EH&S implementation.
The standard responsibilities and authorities of the individual Company site functions can
be found in ref. 16.3.
Any project specific deviations from the standard shall be addressed here.
Subcontractor
The subcontractors Manager in charge at site is responsible for EH&S for his specific
scope of work and for proper communication with Company and other subcontractors.
He is also responsible for the proper dissemination of applicable rules, regulations and
instructions among his and his subcontractors personnel.
Each subcontractor establishes a safety plan and he shall appoint a site EH&S
representative and must see to it that its line managers on the site are properly aware of
their EH&S responsibility and that all EH&S requirements are communicated to their
personnel. (Check for specific project authority regulations concerning the
minimum number of employees above which a full time qualified EH&S
Representative must be appointed by the subcontractor.)
Education and training of personnel is one of the most important aspects of an effective
EH&S implementation. It is every subcontractors responsibility to ensure that his
employees have had the necessary education and training to execute the work.
Company will require subcontractors to document that these requirements are met.

Details about emergency and evacuation drills can be found in attachment 3.
4.7 EH&S Motivation/Information
4.7.1 EH&S Motivation
Personnel motivation is an important part of any EH&S program. Without the proper
EH&S motivation, the employees as well as the supervisors may develop poor work
habits and conditions. Thus, the injury rates may increase and the quality and
productivity may decline. EH&S, as the work progresses, is a step-by-step matter and
must be continually emphasized.
Therefore, an EH&S promotion program will be initiated on this project to enhance
personnel EH&S motivation. Promotion will be obtained through publicity bulletin boards,
signs, posters and the like. Furthermore an EH&S Awareness and Recognition Program
has been developed. (Check what is applicable for specific project.)
Personnel safety slogans and poster contests will be used with appropriate awards to
help reinforce personnel safety consciousness. (Check applicability for this specific
project.)
Company and subcontractors management staff shall support motivation of personnel
EH&S awareness by encouraging a good attitude and by personal contact and
recognition. Personal contact shall include project management attendance at EH&S
meetings and tours of the site and expressed interest and concern for EH&S.
Companys and subcontractors Construction Management staff are the most vital parties
in this system that is designed to stimulate and reward the personnel for exemplary
performance in the execution of their tasks with the proper awareness of EH&S.
Tools to further motivate personnel are:
Bulletin Boards
Bulletin boards are used to advantage in displaying safety posters, safety bulletins and
(for instance) damaged safety protective equipment, such as safety glasses, hard hats
and face shields that have prevented workers from being injured. Bulletin boards are not
to be cluttered and the material they display shall be changed frequently.
Gate Board
Near the entrance of the site or at Companys work area a board displaying safety
statistics must be placed. In this respect due observation has to be made of any client
rules/ instructions.
4.7.2 EH&S Information
In consultation with the Company Safety Engineer, it is the responsibility of

subcontractors to obtain and display EH&S information and promotional material.
The following information and promotional material will be obtained and displayed:
(Check for specific project.)
Governmental Safety Codes

Labor Inspection Pamphlets and Publications
(Local) Safety Institute Publications
Client's Safety Regulations
Recognized traffic signs to control travel of automotive equipment, vehicles and
pedestrians
Special Site Bulletins, newsletters, pamphlets

Miscellaneous Visual Aids as indicated below
Visual aids are an important part of every accident prevention program. The more
carefully they are selected, the better the results. Some of the visual aids that may be
used are:
Posters
Posters are to be displayed widely throughout the site. A bulletin board near the entrance
gate is an effective place to display safety posters. Posters are to be displayed in change
houses, field offices, warehouses and other conspicuous locations. Posters shall be
changed periodically. The local safety authorities should be contacted as to where
posters and publications can be obtained. Also, consult with the Home Office
Construction and Safety Departments.
Instruction Films
Instruction films are an asset in a construction accident prevention program. The Safety
Engineer should make inquiries as to the availability and source of films. Films are shown
preferably as part of a safety induction.
It can be considered to make a project specific instruction film.
Safety Signs
Safety warning signs made of material that will withstand weather conditions are to be
displayed throughout the site wherever physical hazards warrant their use. Special signs
such as "Men Working Overhead" or "Falling Material" are to be removed once the work
has been completed.
4.8 EH&S Recognition
All personnel must be continuously encouraged and motivated to work with proper
awareness of EH&S. For this reason and to create a competitive atmosphere among the
subcontractors and their personnel Company, in cooperation with the client and
subcontractors, has implemented an EH&S Incentive/Award Program.

condition of a site, work on facilities that have already been handed over to the client
and any other work at other hazardous locations or in circumstances requiring a permit.
Subcontractor is responsible for taking all precautions and for the safe execution of the
work. The issuing and receipt of work permits or safety permits for work in areas where
such permits are required does not relieve subcontractor from its responsibilities.
It is forbidden to start any work without a work permit if a work permit is required for the
specific activity.
The applicable work permit system is included in attachment 6. (Check attachment
no.)
Subcontractor's supervisors are responsible for ensuring that their personnel, working

10.6 Waste Management
10.6.1 Introduction
During construction work various waste (including rubbish) streams will occur. In order to
handle these waste streams effectively a waste management system is needed.
It is important to check whether client (replace with client name) exercizes a waste
management system and to identify which parts of that waste management system
should be integrated in the waste management system for construction.
It is important to make proper arrangements concerning this matter with client (replace
with client name) before start of construction activities.
Roles and responsibilities are defined in ref. 16.2. (Check ref. no.)
Company and the subcontractors for their work are responsible for an effective execution
of waste management.
The Company Safety Engineer will monitor the performance of waste management.
In this paragraph the main items for waste management are addressed. OPTIONAL A
more detailed Waste Management Procedure is attached as attachment 9. (Check
attachment no.; check whether a written client waste management procedure
does exist or that a suitable waste management procedure by Company will be
used.)
10.6.2 Administration
To execute an effective waste management system it is important to keep proper
administration of the various waste streams.
If available give additional information about the administration system. For
instance use of waste-cards, use of clients system.
The various waste (including rubbish) streams must be identified and for each waste
stream a study should be made as to which provisions are required and which streams
can possibly be integrated with clients waste management system.
The following are examples of waste streams:
(check this list and make corrections per specific project):
demolition waste;
office waste;
canteen waste;
construction waste;
chemical waste;
contaminated soil;
water from wells in excavations below groundwater level;
waste water;
other liquid waste.
The above is an identification of main streams. Main streams can consist of various
substreams like wood, stone, steel, insulation wool, asphalt, cardboard/paper, waste
fluids, household waste, oil, degreasing agents, chemicals, paints, etc. For each
substream a waste handling procedure shall be prepared or be available.
10.6.4 Waste Prevention/Reduction
Handling of waste streams costs money. To reduce costs it is important to prevent
creating waste and to reduce the amount of waste as much as possible.
There are various ways to achieve this. Before a job is executed it must be considered
how materials can be used as effectively as possible. Various materials may be re-used
or recycled.
Carrying out an effective waste prevention/reduction program will also depend upon local
provisions and clients waste prevention/reduction program. It is important to make an
inventory of possible solutions.
To optimize the handling of waste streams it is each subcontractors responsibility to

separate all waste by type of waste. The various waste streams must be defined before
start of construction activities.
10.6.5 Waste Storage and Removal
General
Proper storage of waste is important for Environmental, Health and Safety.
Subcontractors must at all times keep the site clean and free of waste material and
rubbish.
Before execution of construction activities an inventory must be made of specific
authority and/or client regulations, procedures and permit systems in order to implement
these in the waste storage and removal system. The following rules, regulations and
procedures are applicable:
Waste Storage
Proper storage facilities need to be provided before start of construction activities.
Storage facilities can consist of designated areas with sufficient provisions and/or

the waste during the various stages of disposal.
Procedures shall cover the handling of the waste but also the safety provisions/measures
to be taken as well as regulations for special equipment to be used. Waste streams need
to be checked for these requirements. Waste streams for which no proper procedures
exist will be handled according to procedures that shall be developed before start of
construction activities. It is subcontractors responsibility to develop and present these
procedures to Company for approval.
Waste containers to receive and segregate waste shall be available in the various site
areas and shall be emptied frequently. This will be the responsibility of Company. (Check

other company or organization without the prior written approval of Company, both in
respect to the portion to be assigned or subcontracted and the party to which VENDOR
proposes to assign or subcontract.

responsibilities, obligations or liabilities under the PURCHASE ORDER and VENDOR shall
bear the entire responsibility for his assignees or SUBCONTRACTORS, as the case may
be, and their respective employees in the same way as for his own employees. VENDOR
shall ensure that his obligations hereunder, insofar as necessary or practicable to secure
proper and timely execution of the WORK, shall be fully reflected as obligations of
assignees or SUBCONTRACTORS respectively in all assignments or subcontracts and that
relevant information and instructions from Company shall be passed on to these
assignees or SUBCONTRACTORS respectively.

assignment or subcontract shall provide for the possibility of its immediate termination in
the event of termination or cancellation of the PURCHASE ORDER.

Company or to OWNER, upon giving VENDOR at least ten (10) calendar days prior written
notice.
39. Force Majeure

extent that such loss, damage, delay or failure is caused by force majeure which is, for
this purpose, defined as occurrences beyond the control of the party affected, and which,
by the exercise of reasonable diligence, said party is unable to prevent.
