1.1. CONTEXT

1.1.1. Project display

The SAG consortium, formed by Meridiam and GSEZ (ARISE) has been requested by the
Gabonese government to implement the project to redevelop and operate the so-called
Transgabonaiseeconomic road, linking Libreville to Franceville. The Transgabonaiseis Gabon's
major road axis, approximately 828 km long, itfollows the national roads RN1, RN2, RN3 and
RN4.
Meridiam and GSEZ (ARISE) both have experience in structuring and delivering large projects in
the country. The projectisdevelopedwithin the framework of a 30-year public-private partnership
contract by which the State grants the Partner the design, redevelopment, financing, maintenance,
operation and maintenance of the Transgabonaise.
Between Libreville and Franceville, the projectisdividedintothree stages, shown on the mapbelow:
1. Stage 1: Libreville - Alembé;
2. Stage 2:Alembé - Mikouyi;
3. Stage 3:Mikouyi - Franceville.

Figure 1 - Illustration of the 3 stages of the project

1.1.2. Scope of this management plan

Within Stage 1 of the project, the EPC will be in charge of the contract for the design and
redevelopment / construction of PK24 to PK105 of the N1 national road, connectingNkok to
Kango, passing throughNtoum, Kougouleou and Ndouaniang.
This management plan covers the activitiesrelating to the redevelopment / construction
workscorresponding to this segment rangingfrom PK24 to PK105, illustrated on the mapbelow.

Figure 2 - Illustration of the section of road covered by this management plan

The works consist of the repair or improvement of the roadway, hydraulicworks (drainage, etc.), the
installation of safety and signaling equipment.
The EPC will design, build, test and complete all installations and systemsnecessary to carry out the
work.
The redevelopment and improvementworks, as specified, will be carried out within the framework
of the existing right-of-way, avoiding the acquisition of land, except for places where the wid this
insufficient and where provisions for correcting the route, d Improvement of intersections /
geometriccharacteristics of the road are considerednecessary, feasible and affordable. This is the
case, for example, of the doubling of lanesplannedbetween PK24 and PK40.

2. HEALTH AND SAFETY EMERGENCIES

2.1. GENERALITIES

2.1.1. Goals

This chapter aims to implement the necessary measures in order to anticipate all the situations
which would cause an emergency situation such as an explosion or even a fire in construction areas
or parking or guard areas.
These chapters will provide adequate human and material resources in order to reduce the response
time and thuslimit the accident to the smallest possible area. This chapter helps to limit indirect
impacts on the human and natural environment, in particular impacts on health.

2.1.2. Measures

This program will:

 Train operators in case of emergency response. These trainings will giverise to special
training sessions;

 Establish inspection programs;

 Identify on a map the locations of hazardous materials and the activities in which they are
used for rescue operations;

 Describe the firefighting equipment, fireextinguishers, safety data sheet, etc. ;

 Certify the availability of Personal Protective Equipment and the necessary equipment in the
event of an intervention in an emergency situation;

 Describe the planned organization in the event of an intervention (internal and external
notification procedures, responsibilities, decision-making process, emergency exits and
post-accident operations);

 Describe the coordination of planning with a view to informing the public, response
organizations, indicating first aid and emergency medical treatment, and finally reviewing
and updating the response plan in the event of an emergency regularly to take in to account
all the realities on the ground. Ensure that this information is communicated to employees;

 Establish an emergency response register.

11 | P a g e
2.2. INTEVERNERS

The main stakeholders for the management of emergency situations within the emergency response
team willbe:

2.3. HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS

The main crisis situations identified during the construction phase likely to impact the health and
safety of people, and requiring the implementation of intervention and emergency procedures are
listed below:

 Serious injury to a workerworking on the site;

 Serious injury to a local resident due to site activities;

 Natural event of storm type, flooding;

 Collapse of structure on site;

 Fire on the site or near the site;

 Civil unrest / violence;

 Conflicts with the neighborhood of the building site (local residents).

This list will be constantly updated according to the news of the site.

2.9.4. Collapse of building, hangars and structures etc.

Guidelines for the person who is locked inside the collapsed building
1. Position your self immediately under tables, desks or other items that will provide protection
from shards of glass and debris. If you are in a building that is experiencing full or partial
collapse, use your best judgment to determine whether it is safer to evacuate the building
immediately or to take cover and stay in the building.
2. If you are in an affected building and itissafer to evacuate, immediately evacuate the
building, advising others to do so when you leave. Evacuate in the direction as close to the
affected area as possible. Do not use the elevators. Help injured people as long as you are
able to do so. Once outside, go to an area at least 300 meters from the building.
3. If a bombmay have caused the explosion during the collapse (there may have been an
anonymous call, priorthreats, a context of litigation with malicious groups, etc.), do not
activate the alarms / siren. Fire because it could detonate other bombs.
4. Do not block accessroads or parking lots adjacent to the building, as emergency personnel
may need them.
5. Whenyou are able to do sosafely, call the Main Controller and the Incident Controller.
6. Do not enter the affected building untilyou are instructed to do so.

If the incident is major, the Principal Controller (Project Manager) will declareit as an
emergency
and the EPC emergency response system willactrespectively.
Emergency response
I. Immediatelyinform the nearestfire station and police department.
II. Clear the access for the free flow of rescue vehicles.

III. The rescuer must also rush to the scene and immediatelysend the seriously injured to hospital.
The other injured will be taken to the first aid center for initial treatment and advised for
further treatment in hospitals, if necessary.
IV. The rescuer will provide CPR if the victimisunconscious.
V. Use an emergency vehicle and any other vehicle available for hospitalization of injured
persons.
VI. Use all our devices / vehicles / EDM for rescue imprisoned staff.

VII. If available, enlist the help of construction crewsworkingnear the project.

IX. Do not allow a seriously injured person to be moved unless there is an immediate life-
threatening situation (eg, fallingdebris)

31 | P a g e
2.9.5. Gas leak

A minor gas leakis a small volume leakthat can be easily contained, affecting only a small area. For
gas cutting, the EPC will use an LPG cylinder. Gas escaping from the LPG cylinder poses an
explosion hazard.

Emergency response procedure:

1. Notify the Incident Controller to report a gasleak.
2. The incident controller will report this to the main controller.
3. Members of the Incident Response Team will evacuate operatives and others.
4. If outside, staff and operatives will move in the wind against odors.
If the situation could result in danger, the Principal Controller must declare an emergency and
he must immediately in form the nearest fire department.
Guidelines for persons at the time of gas leak detection:
I. Uponentering the site / building, if yous smell gas, turn off the regulator and wait until the area
is clear. Ventilation will help him considerably.
II. Never look for a leakwith a match. Use soapy water, and if youfind a leak, immediatelyshut off
the power.
III. Pay close attention to leaking liquid propane and butane. Severe burn scaused by freezing will
occur on contact with the liquid.
IV. If a cylinder is leaking fluid while it is lying on its exterior, hold the cylind eruprigh tbefore
closing the cylinder.
V. If a line isint errupted and the power cannot be removed, the line cans be crimped with a pair of
pliers.
VI. A leak that cannot be stopped can often be cut by binding the area with a damp cloth. This will
freeze and temporarily prevent further leakage. Use thick gloves during this attempt.
VII. If itis not possible to stop the leaking cylinder put it in a safe place outside, keeping people and
ignition sources at least 20 metersaway.
VIII. In the event of a fire around a cylinder, make sure the cylinder stays cool by spraying itwith
a stream of water.
IX. If a cylinder valve cannot be closed and the gas is burning, keep the cylinder cool by throwing
it out, but do not attempt to extinguish the flame as the build-up of flue gases may explode if
re-ignited.
X. Never try to ignite a gas leak.

As the projectisprimarily a bare land project, therewillbeseveral occasions whereworkerswill enter

areas which are the source of living grounds for certain dangerousanimals. Snakes, scorpions and
insects commonly infest these areas. Therefore, workers maybe at potential risk of bites or stings.

General guidelines for a bite or sting:

 Wash the wound and keep the area lowerthan the heart, calm the victim and takethem to the
hospitalimmediately.

 Loosen tight clothing, minimize use of infected end. Do not try to remove their clothes
because by moving to do so, it will cause the movement of the venom along the blood
stream. Use a gutter if necessary to immobilize it.

 Lightly compress the bandage at the end above the wound. The bandage should be very
tight.

 Clean itwith a sponge and save the sponge for later testing.

 Wash with soap and water if available after secretions.

36 | P a g e

o DO NOT cut the bite or stingwith a knife or blade.
o DO NOT try to aspirate the venom.
o DO NOT giveanything to the victim by mouth.
o DO NOT give stimulants or medications to the person unless a doctor tells you to.
o DO NOT elevate the bite or sting area above the person'sheart level.

2.9.10. "Missing person"

A person is considered missing when they are absent fromwheretheyshouldbe and no one
knowswherethey are.

Confirmation procedure if a person is missing.

 Check the person's support plan, area newspaper, or other relevant sources to see if the
personis at a pre-arranged meeting or appointment.

 Askother people during the day or residential service if the person has toldanyonewherethey
are going.

 If this information is not recorded, inform the HR manager of the day or his assistant,
whothenbecomes the researchcoordinator.

 Inform all persons in the immediatevicinity.

 A full search of buildings and grounds should eorganized immediately.

 Inform the nearest village / community chief.

2.9.11.1. Serious injury of a local resident

A local resident can beinjuredduring contact with the site, for example:

 By collision with a light or construction vehiclenear the site or in the event of an intrusion;
 By collision withan out of control construction machine;
 By a projection towards the outside of the site;
 By the effects of an uncontrolledfire.
In the event of a medical emergency involving a local resident, take the person out of danger and
first inform the person in charge of the emergency medical team. The first aid attendant available on
site will assist the injuredperson (s) and provide first aid, in accordance with the definedprocedure.
If an emergency ambulance isrequired, call the nearest SAMU or hospital,

2.9.11.2. Case of a fire generated on the site that could impact resident soutside the
site

By site wemean:
 The construction site of the Transgabonaise.
 The life bases located at PK-50 and PK-95.
A fire occurring on the construction site or on one of the life bases can, if itis not controlled,
generate dangerous effects on the population. To prevent this risk, in order to protect populations as
quickly as possible, the following measures will be deployed:
 A security perimeter will be set up around the site;
 The nature and extent of the perimeter will be worked out by the operational fire
intervention team, with regard to the location and size of the fire;
 EPC people will be placed around this perimeter to preventany local residents from entering
the perimeter.

2.9.11.3. Case of an event outside the site thatcould impact the personnel inside the
site

A procedure will be established between each site of the construction site (the road, life bases, etc.)
and the administrative point of attachment with the local authorities.
This procedure will be the object of defining the modalities according to which the sites will be
warned in the event of external events which could impact the site (for example a fire outside the
site, the appearance of civil disturbances…).
Communication will be by landline or mobile phone between the local authorities and the EPC
manager of the place concerned.

Defective material will be immediately disposed of in the garbage so that it is not used by mistake.

2.12. TRAINING AND RETRAINING

2.12.1. Emergency situations training

The EPC will conduct regular prevention trainings sothat all staff and workers are aware of
emergency situations and the procedures to befollowed, in order to minimize the impact on staff and
communities.
Employee emergency response training will cover the following topics:
 The function and elements of the emergency response plan.

 Types of potential emergencies.

 Notification, warning and communication procedures.

 Emergency responseprocedures.

 Evacuation & Assembly.

 Use of current safety equipment.

2.12.2. Exercises

Capacities to manage emergencies will be developed through necessary simulation exercis

esrepeated periodically.
The exercises will take the form of different scenarios, including:
43 | P a g e
  A regularfire drill (every month);

 A simulation of a worker or local resident accident repeated every month;

Exercises will be carried out periodically on each site. The HSE officers will be responsible for
planning these exercises and analyzing how they unfolded. The exercises make it possible to check
the knowledge by the workers of the measures to be adopted in the event of a Fire.
In addition, the exercise can be repeated jointly with local firefighters and local authorities.
During the exercises, the points to check are the following:
 Each act or knows his` role and reacts appropriately to the emergency situation encountered,

 The human and material resources necessary to resolve the emergency are available in
sufficient number and in the right place;

 If the exercise was carried out jointly with the emergency services and the public
authorities:thereis good coordination between internal and external actors;

 The emergency was resolved quickly;

An observer for this simulation exercise will be appointed, he will submit an observation report, an
example of which is provided in the Appendix.
Following the exercise, the “Simulation exercise analysis report” form will be completed in order to
be able to analyse its progress. It may be necessary to repeat the exercises as soon as an
insufficiencyisobserved, and thenperiodically.

2.13. MAINTENANCE AND RESUMPTION OF ACTIVITIES AND EMERGENCY

PLANS

During the emergency, the activity on the site concernedmaybefully or partiallymaintained, or it

must becompletelyinterrupted.
The decision rests with the management of the EPC, depending on the level of emergency.
At the end of the emergency situation, in the event of a partial or total interruption, the total activity
can only resume when the conditions defined in chapter 4 will beverified.

3.1. GENERALITIES

3.1.1. Goals

This plan aims to implement the necessary measures in order to anticipate all the situations that
would cause an emergency situation such as an accidental spill of hazardous materials or wasteinto
the environment at the level of work sites or work areas. parking or guarding.
This plan will make it possible to have adequate human and material resources in order to reduce
the intervention time and thus limit the accident to the smallest possible area. This plan helps to
limit the impacts on the biophysical environment and to limit the indirect impacts on the natural
environment, in particular the impacts on health and on ecosystems.

3.1.2. Measures

This program will:

 Train operators in case of emergency response. These trainings will giverise to special
training sessions;

 Describe the pollution control equipment that will be put in place by companies at
storagesites: anti-pollution kits, safety data sheet, etc. ;

 Certify the availability of the necessary equipment in the event of an intervention in an

emergency situation;

 Describe the planned organization in the event of an intervention (internal and external
notification procedures, responsibilities, decision-making process, emergency exits and
post-accident operations);

 Describe the coordination of planning with a view to informing the public,

responseorganizations, indicating first aid and emergency medicaltreatment, and
finallyreviewing and updating the response plan in the event of a emergency regularly to
takeintoaccount all the realities on the ground. Ensure that this information is communicated
to employees;

 Implement a system of community awareness, notification and participation (nature of

project operations, preventive measures implemented, description of possible scenarios and
effects on the environment, behavior to be adopted in an emergency);

 Establish a register of accidental spills and contaminated soil as well as responses to

emergency situations.

45 | P a g e
In case of contamination:

 Identify the cause and rectify it;

 Identify the source, carry out tests, analyze the results and deduce whether any measures
need to be taken (exceeding thresholds, etc.);

 Perform a detailed risk assessment;

 Implement measures to reduce, eliminate or limit one or all three risk factors (contaminants,
receptors and routes of contamination)

 Implement risk management measures throughout the project;

 Raise awareness and protect personnel who will work near contaminated areas.

3.2. SPEAKERS

The main stakeholders for the management of emergency situations within the emergency response
team are:

 3.9.3. Chemical and oilspill

A spillis the accidental release of a chemical / oil (hydrocarbons) into the surrounding environment
(ground, parking lot, workshop, body of water, etc.). A spill should be cleaned up using this
procedure in cases whereit cannot be safely and immediately contained, or if any material enters the
drain, enters the ground, or mayevaporate. In the event of an oil spill in the water body,
immediately start the gully suction cup and move the flexible hose over the spill in the water body.
It is the responsibility of incident response teams to clean up and report anyspills.
In the event of a chemical / petroleum spill in / or outsideour site or in the water body, the site
emergency response team will be alerted to handle the situation in a safe and legal manner. You
willneed to consult the manufacturer's instructions and refer to the safety data sheet

Emergency response procedure:

I. If this is possible without putting yourself in a position of danger, it is necessary to try to cut
off the source of the leak.
II. Notify the Incident Controller to report a chemical leak.
III. The incident controllerwill report to the Principal Controller.
IV. Response team members will begin to prevent the spread of chemicals and clean up spills.
V. If the situation could lead to danger, the Principal Controller will declare it as an emergency
and immediately inform the nearest fire department.
Response to chemical and oil spills during transport:
I. Carefully drive a bulk tanker to a pre-identified open space.
II. Warn people to be at a safe distance. Close the area or restrictit with markup.
III. If the spillis of a flammable chemical (HSD), do not allow any activity that may cause a
spark in the vicinity of the spill.
IV. If this is possible without putting yourself in a position of danger, it is necessary to try to cut
off the source of the leak.
V. Extinguishany open flames nearby.
VI. If the spilled chemical is toxic in nature, do not stand upwind. Evacuate people in the
direction opposite to the downwind to the crosswind and the direction of the winds.
VII. If it's possible; Without endangering life, try putting sand in the event of a spill or using a
containment kit. This will help disperse the spills in a controlled manner.
VIII. Stop all traffic on the road coming into the vulnerable danger zone.
IX. If there are burned / poisoned injuries, referthem to the nearby hospital.

63 | P a g e
Action taken at the on-site diesel tank :
Ensure that all applicable regulations or guidelines regarding the storage of petroleum products are
followed.
At the time of installation, we will take the following measures:
- The tank implementation area must be easily accessible by vehicles (transporters, firefighters) to
facilitate product ingress and egress and response
- Avoid flood plains and areas with a shallow water table.
- Consider soils with a high rate of water infiltration that present a significantly increased risk of
groundwater contamination.
- Place the tank on an impermeable platform that can contain the volume of the tank to compensate
for any failure, it includes a channeling of river water that transits to a tank de-oiling;
- Equip the diesel storage site with two spill kits, fire extinguishers and sand trays

- Train site operators on the use of spill kits and fire extinguishers
- Post safety instructions and guidelines for all persons on the storage site

3.10. TRAINING AND RETRAINING

3.10.1. Training in environmental emergency management

The EPC will conduct regular prevention training so that all staff and workers are aware of
emergency situations and the procedures to be followed, in order to minimize the impact on the
environment.
Employee emergency response training will cover the following topics:
 Intervention training to stop a leak in progress.

 Training in the use of spill kits.

 Training in identifyinghazardpictograms and knowing which substances are compatible or

not with each other.

3.10.2. Exercises

Although the exercises are used for training purposes, their primary function is to test the adequacy
of the plan, available resources, equipment and the readiness of personnel. Exercises are a very
effective way to check the effectiveness of training and to make improvements by correcting
deficiencies found during practice.

64 | P a g e
Regular exercises must be carried out in order to involve as many people as possible, in various
situations. Before the exercises, briefings could be organized in order to recall the main principles
and to highlight the last modifications. Below are examples of exercises to organize:
 Situation of loss of confinement.
 Grouping exercise.
 Functional exercise.
 Evacuation drill.
 Complete exercise.
An exercise report is provided in the appendix.
For these exercises, different types of scenarios will be considered in particular:
 Small hazardous chemical spill (<10 L);
 Large spill of hazardouschemicals (> 10 L);
 Spillsgreaterthan or equal to 200 L;
 Spills in the terrestrialenvironment;
 Spill on a watercourse.
Response personnel will respect the following response priority:
 Environmental Protection ;

 Preservation of humanlife;

 Preservation of property.
Immediately after each exercise, a meeting isorganized to analyze and highlight all the positive and
negative points, to establish an action plan and to define any updates to the ERP.
The HSE director is responsible for:
 Exercise reports and organization of debriefing sessions;

 Analysis of exercise results and updating of the ERP if necessary.

3.11. MAINTENANCE AND RESUMPTION OF ACTIVITIES AND EMERGENCY

PLANS

During the emergency, the activity on the site concerned may be fully or partially maintained, or it
must be completely interrupted.
The decision rests with the management of the EPC, depending on the level of emergency.

65 | P a g e
At the end of the emergency situation, in the event of a partial or total interruption, the total activity
can only resume when the conditions defined in chapter Error! Reference source not found.Will
be verified.

4. INCIDENT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

4.1. INCIDENT DECLARATION (WITH LOCATION)

At the end of the emergency, a form will be used for the declaration of emergency situations. An
example of incident reporting and monitoring is given in the Appendix.

4.2. MONITORING THE EFFECTS OF THE INCIDENT

4.2.1. Monitoring the effects of a fire

Following a fire, it is necessary to check whether structures have not been damaged, so that their
stability would be likely to compromise the safety of workers.
Depending on the case, in-depthstudies carried out by a specialistwillbe carried out for a more
detailed expertise.

4.2.2. Monitoring the effects of an accident on an employee

Following an accident involving an employee, it is necessary to check the health of this person after
returning to the site, if necessary after a period of sick leave. A suitable medical follow-up can be
set up on thisperson, carried out by a doctor.
The objectis to check that this person is recovering well following their accident, and to avoid a

5. COMMUNICATION WITH LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITIES

In an emergency situation, external communication (to externalagencies or governmentauthorities,

to the attention of the media and the public) is of particular importance. It must berigorous,
consistent, regular and proactive. It isimperativelybased on proven and factual information.
Communication within the EPC is the responsibility of the Communications Coordinator.
As communication vis-à-vis the outside of the projectisensured by the Partner, a communication
procedureestablishedwith the EPC allows the Partner to collect the necessary information on the
crisis situation and the associated management.

5.1. COMMUNICATION WITH THE MEDIA

Good communication, in particularwith the media (in the event of a major accident), makesit
possible to control the information provided to the public. Indeed, when the media have confidence
in the information theyreceive, the reports and articles about the incident are generally more
accurate.
In the first hours of the emergency situation, communication revolvesaround 3 main topics:
 The eventsthat have occurred;

 The message of compassion towardsaffected populations and communities;

 Actions initiated.
Subsequently, itendeavors to respond in anticipation to the questions and expectations of the media
and the public. A question / answer document must bedrawn up and kept up to date in this regard.
The information shouldbeneithertooalarmingnor excessive.
In times of crisis, communication with the media is the responsibility of the Communication
Manager.

5.2. COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC

It is important that the public, during an emergency, beinformed in the mostprecise and
regularmanner of the evolution of the situation.
To avoid confusion and misunderstanding, youshould:
 That thereisonly one spokespersonwhowillbe the Head of ExternalCommunication;

 That information beprovidedonly by reading official press releases.

68 | P a g e
  Inform the nearest village / communitychief.
A model for an externalpress release isprovided in Annex 3.
