Once the BA reaches the “BLACK” (color – “5”) category, i.e. highest level of safety violation,
“Termination” notice to BA will be issued from the office of the Head of Department (equivalent
to Addl GM/ GM/ Sr. GM level) and further, if required, continuation / extension of contract will
only be initiated by Functional Head of the department (equivalent to Sr. GM / VP level) and

TPCODL encourages the reportage of the safety violation during the contract work by BA. Any
TPCODL employee can register a safety violation against the BA in the “Safety Violation Form”
annexure 10. Initially the observer has to fill the form and handover the counterfoil (lower
portion) of the document to the supervisor of the BA, inform the site engineer of TPCODL and
send the top portion of the Safety Violation Form to SAFETY group for the further necessary
action against the BA. The cumulative nos. of Safety Violations pertaining to any particular
BA shall be calculated on yearly basis.

Safety violations resulting in incident / accident will be treated as per gravity of the injury /
fatality and its impact as well as type i.e. minor or Major. Consequences of incident / accident
are shown in the matrix (figure 6.3(2) for major and 6.3(3) for minor) below. In case of any
accident, findings and recommendations of Accident Enquiry Committee will be final and binding
and will supersede the arbitration clause of GCC.
