Chapter four: Risk Assessment and management

Introduction
Risk management is applied during all phases from development through implementation
and execution of duties whether system, process or services related.
Risks will be identified, assessed, documented and managed in a way which will allow
proactive measurement and analysis to reduce, mitigate or where possible, eliminate
risks.
Risk mitigation will be managed through a hierarchy of controls below;
Elimination:
▪ Avoid the risk by eliminating the hazard
Reduction/Substitution:
▪ Change the activity or process to one that is less harmful
Engineering:
▪ Isolation or Separate people from the hazard or limit the number of people exposed to
the hazard
▪ Enclosure - physically guarding the hazard i.e. Pulleys and Belts
• Signage/warnings and/or Administrative:
▪ Remove person
▪ Use procedural controls e.g., Safe Working Permits, Work Instructions
▪ Reduce contact - reduced hour of work or exposure to hazard. • Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)
▪ Protect people from harm by providing appropriate PPE.

Continuous risk assessments will be conducted daily during the Toolbox Talk meetings
and will be recorded in the Toolbox Talk books which will be in the possession of the
Site Manager on site. All the employees on site will be involved through participation
during these risk assessments and discussions.
All employees will sign for acknowledgement an acceptance of these risk assessments to
verify that it was discussed with them and that they understand the controls to be put in
place to mitigate and manage these

Risk Assessment
We shall ensure that before the commencement of any construction work and during
such construction work, risk assessments will be performed by a competent person
appointed in writing, these risk assessments will form part of the health and safety plan to
be applied on the site, and will include:
▪ The identification of all risks and hazards to which persons may be exposed to;
▪ An analysis and evaluation of the risks and hazards identified based on a documented
method;
▪ A documented plan and applicable safe work procedures to mitigate, reduce or control
the risks and hazards that have been identified;
▪ A monitoring plan; and ▪ A review plan.
We shall ensure that as far as is reasonably practicable, ergonomic related hazards are
analyzed, evaluated and addressed in a risk assessment;

All contractor and subcontractor supervisors will ensure that all employees under his/her
control are informed, instructed and trained by a competent person regarding any hazard
and the related work procedures and or control measures before any work commences,
and thereafter at the times determined in the risk assessment monitor and review the
application thereafter
Chapter five Implementation schedule
CHAPTER FIVE: CONTRACTOR’S ENVIRONMENT AND
SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (C-ESMP)
5.1 Overview of the C-ESMP
China Jiangxi was contracted to undertake Plant, Design, Supply, and Installation Works
for the Construction of the 33kv Medium Voltage Power Lines and Associated Low
Voltage (LV) Networks for the Grid Extension Under ERT III for Two Lots; Lot 1: Fast
Track Line 3 (Wandi- Yumbe- Moyo) 340.17 KM, REA-ERTIII/WRKS/18-19/00544/a.
Rural Electrification Agency which is the client expects the contractor to complete the
assignment within 15 months from 15th March 2020). The project area covers several
villages in several Sub-Counties along the lines. These are appended to the stakeholder
engagement plan.

Prior to commencement, an Environmental Impact Assessment study was undertaken by


Rural Electrification Agency. It is therefore feasible to design a comprehensive
Contractor’s Environment and Social Management Plan (C-ESMP) for the operation of
the project to ensure all the activities are done in a manner that protects the natural
resources and other properties that fall along the project lines. These measures include
those aimed at safety at the site office, transportation of equipment and poles, excavating
pole pits and securing them, operation within the wetland and many others. A stand-
alone C-ESMP is annexed to this strategic implementation plan.

An assessment of the powerline extension activities was carried out to look out for
adverse social and environmental impacts and the identified social and environmental
issues associated with different activities were characterized as insignificant, low
negative and high negative depending on the nature, type, and significance level of
impact on the environment. Appropriate mitigation measures have been proposed for the
adverse impacts.

Positive impacts include: Job creation and Business to material suppliers.

The key potentially adverse impacts include:


 Failure to recruit local labour
 Accidents during delivery of project equipment
 Sexual exploitation
 Crime, drug abuse and prostitution
 HIV/AIDS risk
 Labour exploitation
 Contamination of soil, water and air by the equipment yard and worker’s camp
 Noise from project workers
 Falls from working at heights
 Sanitary hazards
 Contracting Covid-19
 Pressure on social infrastructure
 Accidents and dust associated with haulage of earth construction materials
 Siltation of surround environment due to storage of construction materials such as
gravel
 Creation of quarries and borrow pits
 Cutting down of vegetation along RoW
 Damage of physical cultural resources
 Contamination of water sources
 Gender impacts (GBV, lack of gender friendly facilities)
 Air quality (dust emission)
 Environmental contamination caused by decommissioning phase among others.

This document is intended to bring together the measures proposed to mitigate


environmental and social impacts, present the proposed team work structure to govern the
implementation of the C-ESMP; define the specific actions to be taken, roles and
responsibilities for these actions, timetables for implementation, and associated costs. It
also describes the capacity building and training requirements for the implementation of
the C-ESMP.

A comprehensive mitigation plan has been proposed in this C-ESMP to cater for various
types of negative social and environmental impacts likely to appear during project
implementation stage. The mitigation plan will help to minimize the overall
environmental and social impacts arising from the project.

This C-ESMP is a live document and will be reviewed and updated where necessary to
reflect changes introduced by the project team, site specific outcomes, non-conformances
and recommendations arising out of inspections, meetings and audits.

5.2 Objectives of C-ESMP

Overall objective of the C-ESMP is to ensure that the environmental, social, health and
safety issues likely to arise from the implementation of the project are addressed and
appropriate mitigation actions are integrated into the project implementation to protect
the environment. The C-ESMP outlines the institutional arrangements relating to: (i)
identification of environmental and social impacts arising from the operation of the
project (ii) the implementation of proposed mitigation measures (iii) monitoring of
mitigation measures (iv) capacity building of relevant staff and, (v) the budgetary
allocations for implementation of proposed mitigation measures.

This C-ESMP has been prepared to achieve the following specific objectives:
 Ensure that environmental management is being performed effectively in
accordance with technical requirements and relevant laws and regulations;

 Ensure that the project operates in a socially benign manner that does not affect
individuals or groups of people in the project area;

 Monitor compliance with social and environmental legal/ regulatory frameworks


at both national and international levels;

 Monitor environmental components predicted to be significantly affected, and to


measure the changes that occur;

 Define details of who, what, where and when environmental management and

5.4 Monitoring Program
The monitoring program aims at ensuring that all proposed/designed mitigation measures for the
project are implemented effectively and sufficiently. It also ensures that, project activities
comply and adhere to social and environmental provisions and standard specifications of both
National and International (World Bank, IFC etc.) levels. The monitoring program will be a
responsibility of CJIC, REA, NEMA, ERA, Local Government officials in the beneficiary
Districts, Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development and any other lead agencies as may
be identified arising out of project activities from time to time. Key monitoring indicators
include; occupational health and safety training records, waste management plan, fire safety
measures like fire extinguishers, first aid kits, records of community engagement activities.

5.5 Capacity Building and Training


Capacity building measures will be required to ensure that employees/workers involved in
implementing the various C-ESMP components have the technical, management and other skills
to fulfill their roles. The major key focus areas for capacity building will emphasize on CJIC C-
ESMP Team.

5.6 The Stakeholder Engagement Plan


This Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) seeks to contribute to a coordinated and continued
engagement of all relevant players (including affected persons and interested parties) throughout
the project cycle. The purpose of the SEP is to present a strategy for engaging stakeholders of the
project to ensure that they understand the project and can provide their feedback and input into
the project. This SEP describes the nature of stakeholders as well as their information
requirements, timing and methods of their engagement throughout the lifecycle of the project. A
detailed stakeholder engagement plan is presented in the C-ESMP.
Specifically, therefore, this stakeholder engagement plan aims to;
 Identify and outline effective strategies of collaboration among stakeholders of the
project
 Promote widespread acceptability and participation of the project interventions
among the target beneficiaries
 Identify potential barriers that will negatively affect the accelerated implementation
of the project and address them collectively

Previous stakeholder engagements and consultations have been undertaken at different levels and
stages of the project evolution. Consultation with stakeholders at community, district and
national level were undertaken in earlier processes such as preparation of the project documents
including the ESIA report, preliminary engineering designs and surveys. Different stakeholders
provided inputs into the project design/preparation. A number of issues were raised during those
consultation processes and, while some were addressed, others require continuous engagements
with different stakeholders during project implementation.
The following issues were raised during the previous inception meetings with top management
of the project districts attended by REA and Contractor.
Stakeholder Key issues
Deputy CAO and  It was suggested that, is important that the district selects
District Chairperson a focal person for the project so that it eases supervision
and resolution of conflicts and unexpected challenges that
the project may encounter. This focal person will be the
bridge between the district and the contractor.
 The leaders welcomed the project and noted that they
have been waiting for some time for it.
 The District team reiterated that the contractor should try
to control the behaviors of his workers so that the
community is not negatively affected by the project.
 The need to resolve the bitterness associated with the
compensation exercise where some PAPs were not happy
on compensation amounts so that this does not impact
project implementation dates.
 Also the need to deploy local workforce where they meet
the contractor’s requirements was emphasized by the
leadership.
CAO Yumbe and team  The contractor should mind about the environmental and
social issues
 There is need for sharing information with regard to
compensations made and about the project progress. This
will help avoid misinformation and rumours.
 The contractor should ensure that his workers do not
exploit and misuse their young girls. If anyone wants to
marry a girl, he should follow the culture and social set up
of the communities.
 The contractor should offer condoms to workers so as to
limit cases of unwanted pregnancies and spread of
sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/AIDS.
 The need to offer employment opportunities to the local
young girls and boys who are generally unemployed to
boost their income.
District LCV The district leaders warmly welcomed the project and
chairperson, deputy were happy about it.
LC5 chairperson and The contractor to continuously and timely communicate
deputy CAO Koboko with the district political leaders about the challenges and
progress of project so that they can get what to tell their

challenges.
REA team to carry out compensation in liaison with the
district leaders to avoid similar problems experienced
during the construction of the UNRA road where
compensation was never completed.
The need for the contractor to provide employment
opportunities to the people in the district so that they can
earn an income was emphasized.
The CAO and team,  Development in the district had been greatly affected by lack
Moyo District of stable electricity and it was his hope that this project will
solve the problem.
 The contractor should try and complete the project in time
since it will be of political advantage to the district political
heads to be re-elected in power for the next term.
 He promised to select the focal person for the project from the
district administration.

 Several youths expressed interest in job acquisition once the
project kicks off. Some youths indicated that they are idle and
drunk because of joblessness and associated frustration. Also,
some youths gave the team their names for possible job
placement once the project ground works start. Key among
these were youths at Namukere village opposite Omugo
Health Centre IV – Arua District, Masaloa East Village and
Coloa East village – Yumbe District
 Expressed knowledge about the project and were very
enthusiastic that it was kicking off
 There was a general outcry about constant power outages and
the communities welcomed the new power line. CJIC team
informed the community that this power line will supplement
the existing power line and jointly provide more stable power

The Arua-Yumbe-Moyo power line project will include a number of stakeholder engagements
during implementation to ensure that every stakeholder is aware of the project’s planned
activities, scope and expected results. Table 1 outlines the stakeholder engagement plan outlining
the timing and methods of engagement. The purpose of the engagement plan is to provide regular
information on the implementation progress and feedback to stakeholders and any other
emerging issues throughout the project cycle.

5.6.1. STAKEHOLDER IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS


5.6.1.1 Description of Stakeholders Roles and Responsibility
At national level, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD) Resources, Rural
Electrification Agency (REA), Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD)
– Department of Gender and Department of Occupational Safety and Health, National
Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and Members of Parliament (MP) from the
project areas are crucial stakeholders in the project implementation. At district level, the District
political and technical leadership and the supportive structures remain instrumental to the project
implementation and feedback. At community level, the Sub-County, Parish and village technical
and political leadership are important groups that will directly be active participants in the
project. In addition to the local council leadership, cultural leaders and religious leaders and
other institutions at the community level such as health and education institutions will also be
consulted. Moreover, the PAPs, project beneficiaries and the wider community are equally
critical stakeholders in the project.

It is from these categories at the local level, that GRCs were selected to play a role in addressing
some of the eminent challenges related to compensations.

5.6.2 Strategy for information disclosure
While all the project information is public, appropriate information to various targeted groups
will be provided including the availability of the grievance redress mechanism. A combination of
methods will be used to disclose information pertaining to the project in manner that is
commensurate with the nature of the identified stakeholders and environmental and social
sensitivity of the project. For community level stakeholders, information will mostly be disclosed
through public meetings, information briefs, notices, posters, illustration, and interactive events
organized within the communities. Deliberate efforts will be made to ensure that vulnerable
groups of people such as women and children, the elderly and disabled are adequately
represented and heard in such meetings.

5.6.3 Methods to be used in consultations/engagements


The ESHS team will employ a combination of methods to consult and engage with stakeholders
including interviews, focus group discussions, open meetings, field visits and use of IEC
materials. Use of local languages in community meetings will be necessary to ensure that
participants fully understand what is being communicated and allow for full participation in
terms of voicing views and providing feedback. Groups with specific information needs based on
disability, gender, age, mobility or morbidity will be accommodated through specific focus
groups so as to ensure equity in information sharing and exchange. It is envisaged that
consultations and sensitization will continue to be conducted in the target districts and locations
to enable participation of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups of people.

5.6.4 Feedback Mechanism
The feedback from consultations and engagements made at different levels will improve
implementation, efficiency and ensure that the project has an effective exit strategy. The
project will ensure that the consultation platforms provided for are well facilitated and
provide enough time and resources for stakeholders to give feedback. For community
meetings, feedback will be collated through designated rapporteurs and the GRM structures
will be designed to receive complaints as well as feedback.

5.6.7 Grievance Redress Mechanism


Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is required to ensure that Project Affected Persons
(PAPs) have the ability and opportunity to lodge complaints or concerns, without cost, in an
accessible manner, and with the assurance of a timely and satisfactory resolution of the issue.
The GRM process should also ensure that the redress is effectively rendered to Project
Affected Persons (PAPs). All PAPs will be informed of the grievance redress mechanism and
the procedures during consultations and meetings. Grievance/compliant forms (Appendix 1)
will be made available to every stakeholder to report any compliant to the immediate
supervisor or the ESHS team members. These will then be summarized and worked upon
accordingly in the shortest time possible.
In order to resolve all grievances effectively, the ESHS team will work closely with the
already established Grievance Redress and Management Committees that were set up in
earlier project stages. Overall, the GRM will handle all types of grievances arising from
implementation of the project activities under the Arua-Yumbe – Moyo electricity line
project including work-related grievances. All committees will be trained in management of
GBV cases and all referral pathways which will be developed in line with the requirements of
Good Practice Note addressing Gender Based Violence to ensure cases are successfully
concluded.

The implementation of the project may generate several complaints and grievances. Some
examples of possible complaints from communities may include:
i. Unfair compensation;
ii. Objections to use of someone’s land;
iii. Encroachment on private land;
iv. Delayed compensations;
v. Quality of infrastructure constructed;
vi. Gender based violence;
vii. Sexual exploitation and abuse;
viii. Theft of property during construction and public works etc.

Grievances from workers under the project may include:


i. Unfair dismissal from work;
ii. Suspected corruption cases;
iii. low wages;
iv. delayed wages;
v. overtime;
vi. Child labour;
vii. Gender based violence;
viii. Sexual exploitation and abuse;
Negotiation and agreement by consensus between the project implementing teams and
affected persons will provide as the first step to resolve grievances. The established
committees will ensure the capturing and resolution of all issues within the prescribed
timeframes. Communities and Project Affected Persons (PAPs) will be sensitized to make
use of the existing GRM committees. Furthermore, there will be workers GRM Committee
to manage grievances that may arise from workers from construction works among, other
works.
The grievance redress mechanism will be communicated to the communities, sub-contractors
and employees including all relevant stakeholders so that they are aware of its objective and
how the system will be functioning.

5.6.8 Monitoring and evaluation of the plan


The ESHS will develop tools for monitoring process of the social and environmental
monitoring of the activities. Weekly and Monthly analysis of the day today activities of
stakeholder engagements will be done and reporting on the progress of stakeholder
engagements will continuously be done up to the end of project implementation. There will
be monthly/weekly data collection on the progress of activities implemented against actual
activities planned.

Technical soundness of the processes and methods of implementation will be tracked too.
Lessons learnt and best practices will be documented for continuous improvement in
stakeholder engagement process. The data will be cleaned, edited and analysed for reporting
and for presentation to the consultant and REA management.
