Our company recognizes that effective safety in construction is an important and

necessary goal to be achieved and establishes safety success as the prime objective of each
project assignment. The success of this safety execution program depends on its
implementation at every level of the project by all organizations and personnel present.
and identifies and presents the strategies for executing the Health and Safety
requirements for this project. The development of this program defines the expectation
with regard to Health and Safety requirements and processes to be implemented on site in
order to meet Client’s expectation with zero accident philosophy. Documentation
demonstrates the adoption of a "Zero Accident" philosophy; that all work-related
accidents, incidents, injuries and illnesses are preventable, and which promotes the
following:
• The immediate identification and elimination of unsafe work practices and conditions in the work
place;
• Awareness of individual responsibility and increased supervisory attention to detail;
• Elimination of human error as a source of accidents, irrespective of rank or position in Handasati.
• Building a team awareness where each worker contributes to the effort and each supervisor is
fully aware of the capabilities and limitations of their own team;
• A culture in which everyone accepts responsibility and accountability for their own and each co-
worker's health and safety, and the protection of the environment

5 INCIDENT / ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION, REPORTING & FOLLOW-UP
We are often able to identify future hazard areas and apply preventive measures through analysis
of previous accidents. However, effective remedial action can only be applied when the basic
problem is clearly defined by investigation and submission of detailed factual reports. The
evaluation of these facts and the real cause of any incident shall assist in directing our incident
prevention activity in the most efficient way.
Investigation into an incident often reveals that human error is a major contributing factor in
its cause. Due to this, it is not HANDASATI policy during investigations to apportion blame to
individuals, but to foster a culture of openness and honesty with a view to continuous
improvement.
This procedure is to be utilized for all events and incidents that result in causing harm to people, cost
and/or property damage, and environmental incidents to ensure immediately reporting to the applicable
persons.
Responsibility of the incident management in the field belongs to HANDASATI and contractors will
provide timely reporting of incidents.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that the determination of main causes and appropriate solutions are
determined and the prevention of re-occurrence.
This operation should be used for the following:
• Fatality
• Workplace injuries and illnesses
• Security deterioration
• Environmental incidents (Spills and Leaks)
• Vehicle accidents, etc.
5.1 DEFINITIONS
DESCRIPTION DEFINITION
An Incident which has resulted in actual Injury and/or Damage (Loss) to Assets, the

Incidents
adverse environmental impact.
POLICY
Any work-related injury or illness which results (or would have resulted) in the injured
worker being unable to perform one or more assigned tasks at least one normal shift
following the day the injury occurred. This applies whether or not the injured/ ill
person planned to be at work during the following days.
The counting of days lost begins the day after the injury or occupational illness
occurred and includes all subsequent days until a return is made to work. Includes all
Restricted weekends and holidays. In cases of severe injury or illness stop counting after 180
Work Day days.
Case (RWDC)
If the worker leaves the company for some reason unrelated to the injury or illness,
such as retirement, a plant closing, or to take another job, stop counting days away
from work or days of restriction/ job transfer.
If the worker leaves the company because of the injury or illness, estimate the total
number of days away or days of restriction/ job transfer and enter accordingly (up to a
maximum of 180 days).
Any work-related injury or illness, which renders the injured person temporarily
unable to perform any regular job or restricted work within 24 hours of the moment
that the occupational injury was received or illness determined.
The criteria "24 hours" include rest days, weekend days, scheduled holidays, public
Lost Workday
holidays or subsequent days after ceasing employment.
Case (LWDC)
** A Lost Workday Case is not the same as a Lost Time Injury (LTI) as it does not
include fatalities. Also, a single accident can give rise to several lost workday cases,
depending on the number of people injured as a result of that incident.
The total number of workdays lost through occurrence of occupational

injuries/ illnesses.
** In cases where employment is terminated after an Injury/ illness occurred (other

than fatality or Permanent Total Disability), this would include any previously
Lost Workdays
scheduled workdays lost that were planned prior to termination, or an estimate of
workdays that would be lost after termination.
In cases of death or permanent total disability no lost workdays are recorded.
Any work-related injury or illness which results in the complete loss, or

permanent loss of use, of any part(s) of the body or any permanent
impairment of function or parts of body, regardless of any pre-existing disability of the
Permanent
injured member of impaired body function.
Partial
Disability
**A PPD is not related to the ability of the injured person to do is normal
(PPD)
work, e.g. it is classified as a PPD if he has lost a finger, toe, arm, limb, etc. but (upon
recovery) is still able to do his normal work or any other work that permits for the
partial disability.
POLICY
Any work-related injury or illness, which permanently incapacitates an
Permanent
employee from doing any work and results in termination of employment or
Total Disability
medical severance.
Any work-related injury or illness which results (or would have resulted) in the injured
worker being unable to return to work for at least one normal shift following the day
the injury occurred. This applies whether or not the injured/ill person planned to be at
work during the following days.
The Project Manager of the project where the incident occurred is both responsible for
ensuring the initial incident report is generated and conducting the investigation.
The counting of days lost begins the day after the injury or occupational illness
occurred and includes all subsequent days until a return is made to work. Includes all
weekends and holidays. In cases of severe injury or illness stop counting after 180
days.
Lost Time
It is sum of cases involving Fatalities and Days Away From Work (DAFWC) both.
Incident (LTI)
Note: Time away from work on the day of the incident is not considered in determining
LTI. Time spent travelling, undergoing evaluation, awaiting medical evaluation results,
or otherwise seeking medical treatment should not be counted as LTI when
considering LTI classification.
If the worker leaves the company for some reason unrelated to the injury or illness,
such as retirement, a plant closing, or to take another job, you stop counting days
away from work or days of restriction/ job transfer.
If the worker leaves the company because of the injury or illness, you must estimate
the total number of days away or days of restriction/job transfer and enter accordingly
(up to a maximum of 180 days).
‘Medical treatment’ means the management and care of a patient to combat disease
or disorder – it does not include:
a) visits to a physician or other licensed health care professional solely for
observation or counselling;
b) the conduct of diagnostic procedures, such as x-rays and blood tests, including
the administration of prescription medications used solely for diagnostic purposes
(e.g., eye drops to dilate pupils); or
Medical a) ‘First Aid’ as defined later in this Section
Treatment b) Any loss of consciousness arising from work-related circumstances even if worker
Injury (MTC) makes quick recovery and return to normal work in same shift.
A Medical Treatment case can be best described as:

If a work-related injury or illness results in medical treatment beyond first aid but does
not involve death, one or more days away from work, one or more days of restricted
work, or one or more days of job transfer, it is considered Medical Treatment, whether
or not it is administered by a physician or other licensed health care professional.
POLICY
A work-related death arising from injuries or occupational illness. Deaths from natural
Fatality causes or suicide while at work would not be recorded.
In cases of death or permanent total disability no lost workdays are recorded.
Using a non-prescription medication of non-prescription strength (for medications
available in both prescription and non-prescription form, a recommendation by a
physician or other licensed health care professional to use a non-prescription
medication at prescription strength is considered medical treatment for record-keeping
purposes);
Administering tetanus immunizations (other immunizations, such as Hepatitis B
vaccine or rabies vaccine, arising from a work-related incident are considered medical
treatment)
Cleaning, flushing or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin
First-Aid Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-Aids™, gauze pads, etc.; or using
butterfly bandages or Steri-Strips™ (other wound-closing devices such as sutures,
staples, etc. are considered medical treatment)
Using hot or cold therapy
Using any non-rigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wraps, non-rigid
back belts, etc. (devices with rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilize parts
of the body are considered medical treatment).
Using temporary immobilization devices while transporting an incident victim (e.g.,
splints, slings, neck collars, backboards, etc.)
Any abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational
injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. It
includes acute and chronic illness or disease caused by inhalation, absorption,
Occupational ingestion, or direct contact. Examples are below:
Illness  Industrial Dermatitis

11. EXCAVATIONS
Responsibilities
 The Permit issuer & receiver shall conduct a joint pre-start inspection to locate underground
utilities and assess any other hazards that may be present.
 The Permit issuer must conduct a gas test for hazardous atmospheres when necessary (depth
>1.2 m).
 PTW Issuer is responsible for detecting utilities and gas testing.
 Supervisors must ensure that all safe procedures are followed at all times by monitoring and
directing the workforce.
 Safety personnel shall conduct regular inspections to verify compliance with procedures.
 Unit heads shall communicate this procedure to their subordinates and have ultimate
responsibility for ensuring that it is enforced.
Purpose
Damage to underground utilities is the main cause of exposure to hazards. Knowing the
underground utilities are located in or near the digging jobsite is essential if dangerous, deadly,
or destructive accidents are to be avoided. These hazards include: electricity, gas, fire, water,
chemicals, toxic atmospheres, biohazards, asbestos expo-sure, disruptions of essential services
etc. Other hazards associated with excavation of underground utilities include working with
mobile equipment, confined spaces, work-ing in excavations and overhead hazards. Awareness
and application of procedures specific to these hazards should be followed.
Planning & Preparation

prevent trench collapse.
 When the depth of an excavation exceeds 1.2 m it must be tested for hazard-outs
atmospheres by an authorized person.
Digging with Hand Tools
 Safe digging practice involves the use of hand tools and shall be adopted when in the vicinity
of underground services.
 Hand dig to expose the utility.
POLICY
 Check for damage when utilities are exposed

 Use insulated tools, such as shovels with wooden shafts, to stop electricity travelling up them
in the event of striking an electrical service.
 Use flat-edged tools (such as spades or shovels) in preference to pointed tools (such as bars,
picks and forks).
 Do not throw or spike any tool into the ground.
 Apply only gentle hand or foot pressure to a hand tool, when encouraging it to penetrate the
soil that is being dug.
Digging with Mechanical Equipment
 Vehicles & Heavy equipment must be kept a minimum of 2 m from the edge of the excavation
unless the correct shoring is used.
 No excavating around a utility should occur without a banksman
 Establish acceptable signals between banksman and operator.
 Banksman& Operator must observe and guard against striking overhead utilities and
structures.
 Banksman must be visible to the operator and stand in a safe location clear of the swing zone
 Banksman is responsible for directing and signaling the operator when the operator’s view of
the utility is obstructed.
If damage is caused to a Utility

POLICY
13. Hazardous materials & Waste management
Responsibilities
Stores Supervisors must ensure that all received chemicals or hazardous material has an MSDS
that was supplied by the manufacturer or supplier of the chemical.
Employees must read the MSDS and be familiar with procedures for the material they are using
Supervisors must ensure that employees follow safe procedures and use appropriate PPE
Safety group will inspect stores and sites to ensure these procedures are followed.
General Guidelines
Almost everyone works with or around hazardous materials every day. Many of these materials
have properties that make them hazardous: they can create physical (fire, ex-plosion) and/or health
hazards (toxicity, chemical burns). However, there are many ways to work with chemicals which can
both reduce the probability of an accident and reduce the consequences to minimum levels should an
accident occur. Risk minimization depends on:
 Safe practices,
 Appropriate engineering controls for chemical containment,
 The proper use of personnel protective equipment,
 The use of the least quantity of material necessary, and
 Substitution of a less hazardous chemical for the more hazardous one.
 The following sections provide general guidelines for chemical safety. To obtain specific
information about a chemical, refer to that chemical’s SDMS.
Chemical Safety Guidelines
 Assume that any unfamiliar chemical is hazardous.

 Know all the hazards of the chemicals with which you work.
 Consider any mixture to be at least as hazardous as its most hazardous component.
 Never use any substance that is not properly labeled.
 All chemicals must be labeled in English and Arabic.
 Follow all chemical safety instructions precisely.
 Minimize your exposure to any chemical, regardless of its hazard rating.
 Use personal protective equipment, as appropriate.
 Use common sense at all times.
POLICY
SEC Distribution Material Specification (SDMS)

Before using any chemical, read the container label and the appropriate SEC Distribution Material
Specification (SDMSs). Container labels and SDMSs are good sources of information for
chemical safety. They provide the following information:
 Hazardous ingredients
 Exposure limits
 Physical and chemical characteristics, including the following:
o Boiling point
o Vapor pressure
 Physical hazards, including the following:
o Flammability
o Explosiveness
o Reactivity
 Health hazards, including chemicals that are:

o Toxic
o Carcinogens
o Irritants
 First-aid procedures
 Proper leak, spill, and disposal techniques
 Proper storage and handling procedures
 Other special provisions
Stores/Departments ordering chemicals must request the SDMS and ensure it is pre-sent when
chemicals are delivered. SDMSs must be kept with the chemicals both at the store and at the point
of use.
Safe Handling Guidelines
Employees should treat all chemicals with caution and respect.
When working with chemicals, remember to do the following:
 Remove and use only the amount of chemicals needed for the immediate job at hand.
 Properly seal, label, and store chemicals in appropriate containers. Keep the containers clearly
marked and in a well-ventilated area.
POLICY
  Check stored chemicals for deterioration and broken containers.
 Clean up spills and leaks immediately.
 Know what to do in an emergency.
 Do not store chemicals near heat or sunlight or near substances which might initiate a
dangerous reaction.
 Do not transport unprotected chemicals between the work area and other are-as. Use a tray,
rack, cart or rubber carrier.
 Do not pour hazardous chemicals down sinks or drains.
 Do not put fellow workers or yourself in danger.
Hygiene and Chemical Safety

Good personal hygiene will help minimize exposure to hazardous chemicals.
When working with chemicals, follow these guidelines:
 Wash hands frequently and before leaving the work area. Also, wash hands before eating,
drinking, or smoking.
 Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Do not use the clothing again un-til it has been
properly decontaminated.
 Follow any special precautions for the chemicals in use.
 Assume that all chemical lines are attached to a supply and contain chemical. Physically confirm
that a chemical line is empty, clean, and not under pressure before opening or cutting into the
line.
 Do not wear contact lenses near chemicals, especially corrosives or volatile sol-vents.
 Do not keep food or food containers anywhere near chemicals.
Hazard Communication Program

The Hazard Communication Program consists of the following:
 Employee training (including recognition of signs of exposure). This is given via the mandatory
sec Hazcom training, and also HANDASATI in-house training.
 This training is required annually for all HANDASATI Employees
 Labeling procedures
 SDMSs for chemicals at each workplace
 Instructions on how to read and interpret SDMSs
 Chemical inventory reporting procedures
POLICY
  Recordkeeping requirements
 Emergency response procedures
An integral part of hazard communication is hazards identification. Everyone who works with
hazardous chemicals, or near an area where they are used or stored, should know how to read and
interpret hazard information. CHP labels and signs (see illustration) are used to alert employees to
the known hazards in a particular location.
Types of Hazardous Materials

Corrosives
A corrosive chemical destroys or damages living tissue by direct contact. Some acids, bases,
dehydrating agents, oxidizing agents, and organics are corrosives.
Examples of Corrosives
Examples of acidic corrosives include the following:
 Hydrochloric acid
 Sulfuric acid
Examples of alkaline corrosives include the following:
 Sodium hydroxide
 Potassium hydroxide
Safe Handling Guidelines for Corrosives

To ensure safe handling of corrosives, the following special handling procedures should be used:
 Always store corrosives properly. Refer to the SDMSs and the Chemical Storage section of this
manual for more information.
 Always wear gloves and face and eye protection when working with corrosives. Wear other
POLICY
personal protective equipment, as appropriate.

 To dilute acids, add the acid to the water, not the water to the acid.
 Corrosives, especially inorganic bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide), may be very slippery; handle
these chemicals with care and clean any spills, leaks, or dribbles immediately.
 Use a chemical fume hood when handling fuming acids or volatile irritants (e.g., ammonium
hydroxide).
 A continuous flow eye wash station should be in every work area where corrosives are present.
An emergency shower should also be within 100 feet of the area.
Flammables
A flammable chemical is any solid, liquid, vapor, or gas that ignites easily and burns rapidly in air.
Consult the appropriate SDMSs before beginning work with flammables.
Conditions for a Fire
Improper use of flammable liquids can cause a fire. The following conditions must exist for a fire to
occur:
 Flammable material must be present in sufficient concentration to support a fire (i.e., fuel).
 Oxygen or another oxidizer must be present.
 An ignition source must be present (i.e., heat, spark, etc.).
 When working with flammables, always take care to minimize vapors which act as fuel. Good
Housekeeping will help to minimize the likelihood of fire.
Safe Handling Guidelines for Flammables

Follow these guidelines when working with flammable chemicals:
 Handle flammable chemicals in areas free from ignition sources.

 Use ground straps when transferring flammable chemicals between metal containers to avoid
generating static sparks.
 Restrict the number of stored flammables and minimize the number of flammables present in a
work area.
 Remove from storage only the amount of chemical needed for a task.
Solvents
Organic solvents are often the most hazardous chemicals in the work place. Solvents such as
ether & alcohols, for example, are highly volatile or flammable. Some solvents are nonflammable,
POLICY
but when exposed to heat or flame, may produce carbon monoxide, chlorine, phosgene, or other
highly toxic gases.
Always use volatile and flammable solvents in an area with good ventilation or in a fume hood.
Never use highly flammable solvents in a room with open flames or an-other ignition sources
present.
Solvent Exposure Hazards
Health hazards associated with solvents include exposure by the following routes:
Inhalation
Inhalation of a solvent may cause bronchial irritation, dizziness, central nervous sys-team
depression, nausea, headache, coma, or death. Prolonged exposure to excessive concentrations
of solvent vapors may cause liver or kidney damage. The consumption of alcoholic beverages can
enhance these effects.
Skin contact
Skin contact with solvents may lead to de-fatting, drying, and skin irritation.
Ingestion
Ingestion of a solvent may cause severe toxicological effects. Seek medical attention
immediately.
NOTE:
Do not depend on your sense of smell alone to know when hazardous vapors are present.
The odor of some chemicals is so strong that they can be detected at levels far below
hazardous concentrations.
Reducing Solvent Exposure

To decrease the effects of solvent exposure, substitute hazardous solvents with less toxic or
hazardous solvents whenever possible.
NOTE:
The best all-around solvent is water; use it whenever possible.
Toxic Chemicals
The toxicity of a chemical refers to its ability to damage an organ system (kidneys, liv-er), or
disrupt a biochemical process (e.g., the blood-forming process). But, just as there are degrees of
being harmful, there are also degrees of being safe. The biological effects of all chemicals are
dependent on the following:
POLICY
Consideration of dose (the amount of a substance to which one is exposed),
 Time (how often, and for how long during a specific time, the exposure occurs),
 Route of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, absorption through skin or eyes), and

 Many other factors such as: gender, age, general health and nutrition, lifestyle factors, and
exposure to other chemicals.
Exposure to toxic chemicals can occur by:
 Inhalation
 Dermal absorption (absorbed through the skin)
 Ingestion
 Injection (skin puncture, cut, etc.)
NOTE:
Inhalation and dermal absorption are the most common methods of chemical exposure in the
workplace- always wear your PPE.
The following sections provide examples and safe handling guidelines for the following types of
toxic chemicals:
 Toxicants
 Carcinogens
 Irritants
IMPORTANT:
Minimize your exposure to any toxic chemical and never work alone when handling Toxic
POLICY
Chemicals!
Acute Toxins
Acute toxins can cause severe injury or death as a result of short-term, high-level exposure.
Examples of acute toxins include the following:
 Hydrogen cyanide
 Hydrogen sulfide
 Nitrogen dioxide
 Organophosphate pesticides
Chronic Toxins
Chronic toxins cause severe injury after repeated exposure. Examples of chronic toxins include the
following:
 Mercury
 Lead
 Formaldehyde
Carcinogens
Carcinogens are materials that can cause cancer in humans. Examples of carcinogens include the
following:
 Asbestos
 Benzene
 Tobacco smoke
 Chromium
Zero exposure should be the goal when working with known or suspected carcinogens. Workers who
are routinely exposed to carcinogens should undergo periodic medical examinations.
Irritants
Irritants cause reversible inflammation or irritation to the eyes, respiratory tract, skin, and mucous
POLICY
membranes. Irritants cause inflammation through long-term exposure or high concentration
exposure. Examples of irritants include the following:
 Ammonia
 Formaldehyde
 Halogens
 Sulfur dioxide
 Phosgene
Cleaning Agents
Many of the chemicals contained in cleaning agents are corrosive. Follow these guide-lines when
working with any cleaning agent:
 Always read and understand the label instructions or the SDMS before using any cleaning agent.
 Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves for the job (e.g., neoprene, nitrile, or rubber).
 Do not leave aerosol cans in direct sunlight or areas where the temperature may exceed 120F or
40C. Heated aerosol cans may explode.

Spill Response
Spills are likely whenever chemicals are used. Personnel should be trained and equipped to handle
most of the spills in their work area. Most SEC facilities have their own spill response developed and
trained personnel to handle spills. If a spill occurs follow SEC policies and procedures and refer to
emergency response procedures in this manual.
Spill Prevention and Planning
Prevention is the best safety strategy for any environment. Use safe handling procedures and be aware
of the potential hazards associated with chemicals. For example, before working with any chemicals,
review the appropriate SDMS.
Spill Response Kit
HANDASATI work areas that contain potentially hazardous chemicals will have a chemical spill
response kit. This kit will include the following:
 Disposable laboratory/surgical gloves

POLICY
  Disposable vinyl gloves
 Safety goggles
 Absorbent (e.g., spill pillows, vermiculite, litter box filler, etc.)
 Plastic scoop
 Plastic trash bags
Managers of HANDASATI Areas where hazardous chemicals are used or stored are re-possible for
obtaining spill response supplies.
Responding to Chemical Spills
The following sequence provides a brief overview of proper chemical response procedures:
 Notify others in the immediate area that a spill has occurred. Evacuate the area if necessary.
 Attend to injured and exposed people.
 Identify the spilled chemical(s).
 Based on the hazards and the personal protective equipment needed (e.g., respiratory
protection), determine if you can safely clean the spill or if assistance is necessary. (Most spills
can be cleaned safely by the people who were using the chemical.)
If you determine that you can safely clean the spill without emergency assistance, follow these
guidelines:
 Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment.

 Have another person stand by during the cleanup.
 Clean up the spill and collect all wastes for proper disposal.
 Ventilate the area, as necessary, before it is reoccupied.
 Decontaminate reusable cleanup supplies such as scoops, rubber boots, etc.
 Restock the chemical spill kit and return it to the normal storage location.
Do not take unnecessary risks with chemical spills. Contact emergency response personnel (110) and
POLICY
HANDASATI Safety Group whenever a spill involves the following:
 Large volume of spilled material

 Very hazardous material
 Very hazardous conditions (e.g., fire, explosion, toxicity, etc.)
 Strong odor
 Personnel injury or exposure
Chemical Storage
Proper chemical storage is as important to safety as proper chemical handling. Often, seemingly logical
storage ideas, such as placing chemicals in alphabetical order, may cause incompatible chemicals to be
stored together.
Follow these guidelines for safe chemical storage:
 Read chemical labels and SDMSs for specific storage instructions.

 Store chemicals in a well-ventilated area; however, do not store chemicals in a fume hood.
 Maintain an inventory of all chemicals in storage.
 Return chemical containers to their proper storage location after use.
 Store glass chemical containers so that they are unlikely to be broken.
 Store all hazardous chemicals below eye level.
 Never store hazardous chemicals in a public area or corridor.
 Store hazardous chemicals only in SEC –approved cabinets.
Separating Hazardous Chemicals

In addition to the guidelines above, there are storage requirements for separating hazardous chemicals.
Because an alphabetical storage system may place incompatible chemicals next to each other, group
chemicals according to their hazard category (i.e., acids, bases, flammables, etc.).
Follow these guidelines to ensure that hazardous chemicals are stored safely:
 Separate acids from bases. Store these chemicals near floor level.
POLICY
  Separate highly toxic chemicals and carcinogens from all other chemicals. This storage
location should have a warning label and should be locked.
 Separate acids from flammables.
 Do not keep peroxide-forming chemicals longer than twelve months.
 Flammables should be stored in an SEC-approved flammable storage cabinet.
Receiving Chemicals
All chemicals purchased must have an MSDS. Warehouse employees are to ensure that all received
chemicals or hazardous material has an MSDS supplied by the manufacturer or distributor of the
chemical.
Waste Handling & Disposal
All waste must be handled and disposed according to SEC regulations. Before disposing of any

General
This section covers Fire Prevention program to enhance awareness on

the measures to prevent fires and protect against all their possible harmful effects, in order to
avoid injury to personnel and loss of time and materials.
POLICY
before the Job Starts
Construction within a petroleum industry complex requires careful planning since plants and
Support facilities being constructed are frequently next to those already in operation. An accident
At a construction site can have serious effects on a nearby oil or gas facility and vice-versa,
Because of a large amount of fuel present at both locations. The factors which must be
Considered before the job starts include:
 Site preparation
 Work permit schedules
 Types of work permits required
 type/quantity of equipment required on-site.
 As part of this process, the contractor must take into account the potential hazards that can
be
 Encountered on site; protection of machinery and equipment control of ignition sources;
storage
 Of flammable and combustible materials: housekeeping; staff training; and end-of-shift

checks.
Layout
Good layout helps ensure the project can be carried out efficiently. Principles shall be set for the
Project layout and organization to help minimize fire risks.
Equipment Protection
Some items of plant and equipment need special handling and care after they arrived on site and
Until they are commissioned. Guidelines shall be given to ensure protection of this equipment.
Control of Ignition Sources
In compliance with work permit procedures and conditions protects against possible ignition of oil
Or gas from process operations, HANDASATI shall also take steps to prevent ignition of construction
Materials, lubricants, and fuels used in the job itself.
Flammable Liquids
Guidelines for addressing flammable liquids shall be given in accordance with provisions for Fire
Prevention Section 11.5 Flammable Liquids and NFPA 30.
Combustible Materials
Potential fire fuels or combustibles such as packing material, scaffold plan, form lumber, Electrical
insulation, tires and other rubber goods shall require daily site clean up to reduce fire Hazards.
Housekeeping
POLICY
Good housekeeping shall become an integral part of fire prevention activities.
Emergency Equipment

PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to define and document all health and safety related aspects,
impacts and risks at HANDASATI.
This procedure ensures that all health and safety related aspects of the company’s operations
and activities are identified and the significance of their impacts is assessed to permit
improvement objectives and the implementation of necessary control measures.
This also includes a register of health and safety aspects and impacts to demonstrate compliance
with the requirements of OHSAS 18001.
SCOPE
This Procedure applies to all activities being carried out by HANDASATI and its sub-
contractors while performing construction, commissioning and installations activities
at site/ offices/ yards.
RESPONSIBILITIES
CEO
 Ensure that systems are implemented to maintain compliance with all applicable Health,
Safety & Environment regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the standards.
Corporate HSE Manager
 Responsible for reviewing and updating the health and safety risk register. This shall be
undertaken on particular basis and also following the introduction of new system, change
to any process, or when existing risk control measure are not considered adequate i.e.
following any accident/incident.
DEFINITIONS
Impact - Effect on the organization’s policy commitments and objectives, its interested parties,
the organization itself and/or on the environment.
Risk - Likelihood of an event occurring and the consequence of that event will have an impact on
the objectives.
NOTE 1: Risk is normally determined in terms of combination of the likelihood of an event and its
consequences.
NOTE 2: An event may be the occurrence of an aspect with the associated impact as its
consequences.
Process - Sets of interrelated or interacting activities which transform inputs into outputs.
Note: Processes may be classified in a number of different ways. A distinction is sometimes made
between operational processes which are directly concerned with the planned outputs of the
POLICY
organization, and management processes which provide the framework that enables the
operational processes to take place.
Job safety analysis: A formal process to identify the dangers of specific job tasks in order to
reduce the risk of injury to workers. It involves breaking down the steps of performing a job,
identifying hazards at each step, and creating controls to keep workers safe while performing that
task. A job safety analysis is sometimes referred to as a job hazard analysis, or JHA.
Risk assessment: A formal process to identify potential hazards related to an activity or

operation, analyze the level of risk associated with those hazards, and propose controls to reduce
the level of risk. Oftentimes, a risk assessment will use a risk scoring system to assign numerical
value to each risk depending on the severity and likelihood it will occur.
sometimes made between operational processes which are directly concerned with the planned
outputs of the organization, and management processes which provide the framework that enables
the operational processes to take place.
PROCEDURE
The various Health, Safety and Environment aspects/risks are identified and rated using the
separate rating criterion. Environment aspect has separate criterion that is written a different
procedure. The cut off score for environmental aspect and safety risk are different.
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
The Management Representative (MR) along with Core Team is responsible for carrying out an
annual review of the overall hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA) of all construction
operations and activities of HANDASATI.
 Hazards are defined as those operations or activities over which the HANDASATI has
either control or significant influence and which have the capacity to affect the health and
safety of the personnel.
 Separate reviews shall be carried out as required to assess the hazards related to any new
projects, intended changes in construction operational practice, alterations to legislation
and other foreseeable factors.
 The results of all reviews shall be recorded in the Hazard Identification and Risk
Assessment Form / Register. The M.R. is responsible for ensuring that this document is
kept up to date.
 The annual review shall be timed to produce a list of prioritized hazards for consideration
during the setting of HSE objectives and targets for the following year.
Assessment of the Significance of Hazards/Risks
In order to identify the hazards which have likely to have an impact to the health and safety of
the workers, screening of activities was carried out during initial status review based on the
following:
POLICY
 Study of all routine, non-routine and emergency activities
 Study of all processes and operations carried out in the construction operations
 Study previous accident reports including accident/incident investigation reports
 Study inputs from Safety Audits, Routine Inspection, Minutes of the Safety Meetings, etc.
 Study of existing HSE procedures and practices
 Review of facilities available at work sites
 Study of activities of all people having access to the work site (employees, contractors
and visitors)
 Study of hazards posed by chemicals being stored, handled and processed
 In order to objectively analyze and assess the risks, rating criteria is considered. The
ratings thus derived are recorded in appropriate columns in the Risk Register
 The ratings are multiplied to arrive at the Risk Score
 Based on these significant hazards and the policy statement, suitable Occupational Health
and Safety (OHS) Objectives are formulated in order to manage the OHS Hazards in the
construction operations.
POLICY
HSE RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS

The detailed process flowchart for the completion of a RA is shown in Figure 1 below. The
following sections provide supporting descriptions of each stage in the process.
POLICY
Risk rating and identify standard control measures
The next phase is to assess the level of the risk associated with the task, using a risk matrix table.
The RA team shall rate the risk for each hazard and hazard effect identified and written on the
RA form. The risk rating shall be specified using the terms shown in the Risk Matrix by assessing
the likelihood of Occurrence (P) and the Consequences of the hazard (C), in order to give an
overall risk rating (R): P*C=R. The evaluation of the consequence shall be qualitative, and the
consequences shall be classified according to the following matrix:
Table 1- CONSEQUENCE

POLICY
Guidance on the consequences and probability of particular hazard are based around the
simple matrix below
Table 2 – PROBABILITY
1 Very An incident which is not expected to occur under any normal
Unlikely circumstances and would only result from a combination of extremely
improbable factors. The probability of an “Unlikely” incident occurring is
regarded as less frequent than 10-5 per year.
2 Unlikely An incident is not expected to occur under normal circumstances but may
occur under exceptional circumstances. The probability of a “Remote”
incident occurring is regarded as being between 10-5 and 10-4 per year.
3 Possible An incident which has the possibility of occurring under normal
circumstances. The probability of a “Possible” incident occurring is
regarded as being between 10-4 and 10-2 per year.
4 Likely An incident which is likely to occur at some point or regularly during
normal circumstances and would require no extraordinary factors for its
occurrence. The probability of a “Probable” incident occurring is regarded
as being between 10-2 and 10-1 per year.
5 Very An incident which is almost certain going occur during normal
Likely circumstances if conditions remain unchanged. The probability of a “Very
Likely” incident occurring is regarded as being between 10-1 and 1 per
year.

POLICY
Risks are categorized as High, Medium, Moderate or Low depending on the score achieved
by multiplying consequence and probability. The risk value is indicated as follows:
6 ≤ R ≤ 25 High risk: is necessary to identify and plan improvements with protection

and prevention measures to reduce both the likelihood that the potential
harm (*). Execution time : immediate
9 ≤ R ≤ 15 Medium risk: is necessary to identify and plan improvements with
protection and prevention measures to reduce the likelihood "P" or the
potential consequence "C". Execution time : within one month
1≤R≤8 Moderate risk: is necessary to verify that potential hazards are under
control, and possibly improve the measures already in place. Execution
time : within three months
1≤R≤2 Low risk: potential hazards are under control. Execution time : within six
month
(*) The accident with risk of fatal consequences, even if improbable, is considered a priority
in scheduling preventive measure.
Process Step Deliverable: Updated risk assessment form to include the risk rating assessment.
Identify additional controls
The next step is to confirm whether the standard control measures identified for the work are
sufficient, or whether additional controls / risk reduction measures are required. These may result
from the work itself, the conditions that apply at the worksite, restrictions due to weather, effects of
other work in the area, etc. Once all the standard controls to reduce the risk have been identified,
the RA team should revisit the risk evaluation matrix to determine whether the level of residual risk
is acceptable. Acceptability shall be based on the following criteria:
 If the risk level with standard controls is low, additional controls would not normally be
required.
 If the risk level with standard controls is medium, the RA team shall consider carefully
whether additional controls can be provided to reduce the risk.
 If the risk level with standard controls is high, additional controls must be identified to
reduce the risk to a level no greater than medium. High risk cases may require specific RA or
additional studies that will be part of the overall RA documentation; those must be part of the
communication to the workforce.
 If it is not possible to identify controls that reduce the risk below high, or if the RA team
considers that the risk level is unacceptable even if assessed as medium, the task must not be
started.
Process Step Deliverable: Updated risk assessment form to include residual risk rating and
the additional control measures. During the risk assessment process described above all
control measures must be considered in the following order of preference:
POLICY
RISK REDUCTION HIERARCHY

1 Eliminate the risk by removing the hazard – “design out” the problem at the source
2 Reduce the risk by substitution of a less hazardous process, activity or substance
3 Isolate by effective controls such as enclosing the hazard, removing the person
from the hazard or reducing the person’s exposure time to the hazard
4 Install protective devices such as guards, emergency stops and trip switches etc
5 Enforce Permit-to-Work, special rules and procedures to closely control the
hazard(s)
6 Provide proper supervision, supported by training, instruction and relevant
information
7 Provide Personal Protective Equipment only as a “last resort” and in support of the
above control measures

21. HEAT STRESS MANAGEMENT PLAN
19.1 Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to give safety and health guidance to prevent injury and
suffering from the effects of heat to HANDASATI employees and its subcontractors who are
exposed to direct sunlight and hot working environment in Site.
This procedure describes the minimum requirements for recognizing, evaluating and preventing
heat-related illnesses at work locations. HANDASATI Site HSE Department shall facilitate and
provide employee training, program evaluation, and guidance.
19.2 Responsibilities
19.3 Site Management, Supervisors and Foremen
A. When the potential for heat-related illness exists, assigned personnel shall monitor the
environmental conditions (e.g., air temperature, relative humidity) and communicate the
current heat stress danger category and corresponding control measures to Project
Manager, Safety Staff, Medical Staff and Proponent representative.
B. Document heat stress mitigation measures in the specific work plan, which shall specify work
practices to be implemented at the site to avoid heat-related illness during periods of high
heat stress potential and may include the following:
 Scheduling the most strenuous work during the coolest times of the day (e.g., early
morning and evening/night).
 Providing measures such as shading and local ventilation when work in direct sunlight is
required.
 Monitoring employees for symptoms of heat-related illness.
 Rotating workers in and out of hot areas, as possible.

POLICY
 Communicating locations of designated break/recovery areas, emergency reporting
procedures and nearest medical facilities to workers.
 Scheduling work/rest rotations for workers according to the current heat index, which is
based on temperature and relative humidity (see Appendix A).
 Adjusting work/execution plans (e.g., use mechanical/powered equipment to replace

manual labor), as practical.
C. Do not let schedule or productivity demands supersede heat stress awareness or controls
used to prevent heat-related illness.
D. Conduct periodic (e.g., weekly) safety meetings/talks during hot weather emphasizing
heat stress hazards and precautions, with added emphasis on this risk during Ramadan if it
occurs in summertime.
E. Display educational information related to heat stress conditions, illness/symptoms and

preventive measures (e.g., Appendices A and B) on bulletin boards and break/recovery
areas, etc. In addition, distribute heat stress information at safety meetings/talks, etc., in a
form suitable for workers (e.g., laminated pocket cards).
F. Schedule heat stress training and monitor new workers and workers returning from
vacation to ensure they acclimatize at a progressive, controlled rate to the change in
environmental conditions.
G. Provide drinking water stations (e.g., coolers with chilled or ice water) for workers and
remind them to drink plenty of water even if not thirsty.
H. Replenish drinking water supplies as needed to ensure availability and provide more
frequent collection of sanitary wastewaters from portable
toilets.
I. Provide personal water bottles or insulated containers (2-liter capacity) to workers as

needed (e.g., during high heat stress danger categories).
J. Provide designated shaded and cool areas for periodic “cool down” breaks and recovery
from minor heat-related illness. Where possible, these areas are to be air conditioned.
K. Monitor the heat-related health condition of employees, as well as the effectiveness of any
engineering/administrative controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) being used.
L. Be able to recognize early signs and symptoms of heat-related illness and take
appropriate action to prevent serious heat illness (see Appendix B).
POLICY
M. Respond appropriately to any heat-related illness.
N. Be knowledgeable of emergency reporting and response procedures, including the

location of the nearest medical facility with a qualified medical doctor who can provide
proper treatment for a victim of severe heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
19.4 Employees
A. Follow instructions for controlling heat stress, including taking periodic “cool down” breaks
and drinking enough water (see Appendix A). Begin drinking water early in the day.
B. Wear appropriate clothing (e.g., light colored, lightweight, breathable, loose clothing is best).
C. Know and be alert for signs/symptoms of heat-related illnesses in themselves and others. See
Appendix B.
D. Take appropriate action upon developing symptoms of heat cramps, heat exhaustion or heat
stroke. See Appendix B.
19.5 Heat Stress Danger Category
 When the potential for heat-related illness exists, the actual heat index (see Appendix A)
shall be periodically determined (e.g., every hour) at the work site using calibrated
weather monitoring equipment. In the absence of local environmental monitoring, air
temperature and relative humidity may be obtained at a nearby location within Saudi
Arabia (e.g., SA’s “Weather Now” website: http://weathernow.SEC.com.sa). Use of this
website, etc., shall not absolve HANDASATI and its subcontractors from the obligation to
provide its own independent weather monitoring equipment.
 The heat stress danger category, obtained from the current heat index (see Appendix A),
shall be declared at the job site when the potential for heat-related illness exists.
 The heat stress danger category (see Appendix A) shall be used to determine control
measures as specified in this chapter.
 The current heat stress danger category and corresponding control measures shall be
communicated to employees as conditions change (e.g., by use of color-coded flags,
information signs, mass distribution of SMS mobile phone text messages to site
supervisors and other personnel in SA non-restricted areas).
POLICY
19.6 Control of Heat Stress
During periods of high heat stress potential (i.e., danger category III or IV in Appendix
A) at the work site, the following measures shall be implemented as applicable to control
heat stress. As with any hazard, feasible engineering controls are the primary control
measure, followed by administrative (work practice) controls and personal protective
controls, in that order of preference.
19.7 Engineering Controls
A. Shade
Designated shaded break/rest areas shall be provided at a distance not greater than 100 m (330
ft) from personnel working in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. When feasible, shade
is to be provided for work areas, including single shades to accommodate flagmen, etc.
B. Local Ventilation
When the air temperature is less than 37 °C (99 °F), fans or portable air movers may be used to
reduce heat stress by increasing the air flow in the work area.
C. Portable Air-Cooling Systems

Portable blowers with built-in air chillers shall be used as needed (e.g., when confined spaces
and enclosed work areas have ambient temperatures exceeding 43 °C [110 °F]) to provide
cooling for confined spaces and similar enclosed work areas.
19.8 Administrative Controls
A. Scheduling
Schedule work for the cooler times of the day, especially during the month of Ramadan if it falls
in the summer.
B. Acclimatization
Deliberate acclimatization shall be used to expose new employees to work in a hot environment
for progressively longer periods. New employees in jobs where heat levels may produce heat
stress shall be exposed to 20% of normal exposure on day one, with a 20% increase in exposure
each additional day.
C. Water Replacement (Hydration)

Workers shall be encouraged to drink plenty of water prior to the start of each shift. Ample
supplies of cool drinking water shall be located within 100 m (330 ft) walking distance of each
worker and in all designated break/rest areas. Workers shall drink small amounts of water on a
frequent basis based on the actual heat index at the work site (see Appendix A). Sports drinks,
juices and electrolyte replacement/rehydration mixes may also be made available to workers in
order to help maintain the body’s water and salt levels. However, workers shall not consume
more of these drinks than plain water. Workers shall not take salt tablets due to potential
adverse side effects (e.g., nausea/vomiting, dehydration).
POLICY
D. Work/Rest Rotations
Work and rest rotations shall be based on the actual heat index at the work site. See Appendix A.
Work rotations shall be established for workers performing remote activities in high heat stress
exposures (e.g., flagmen). Workers shall be allowed additional break time and water as they
deem necessary for their health.
E. Personal Monitoring
Employees shall work in teams and shall observe each other for signs of diminished capacity and
heat-related illness. Prescribed check times and monitoring controls shall be used to determine
whether a worker is experiencing diminished capacity or symptoms of heat stress.
F. Red Heat Stress Danger Category IV Work Practices

The following additional precautions shall be taken while a red heat stress danger category IV,
“Extreme Danger,” (see Appendix A) exists at the work site:
 Competent supervisor and site management shall assess the risks associated with work to be
performed in direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Based on the resulting risk
assessment, HANDASATI management shall determine if the work shall continue if it does
not fall in the following categories:
(1) deemed necessary for continuing activities and/or plant operations

(2) emergency maintenance or
(3) rescue operations.
 Engineering controls such as shade and ventilation/cooling systems are required for work
activities that involve increased risk (e.g., work in confined spaces, at elevated locations or
involving high physical exertion).
 Workers exhibiting symptoms of serious heat-related illness shall immediately seek medical
attention and be allowed to fully recover before returning to work.
 Workers shall be provided break periods during work activities. The duration and number of
breaks shall be established during the daily work planning based on type of work activities
and control measures provided. Work durations shall be monitored to ensure proper breaks
are taken.
 Workers shall be advised to drink one cup of water every 10 minutes. Each worker shall be
provided with his own personal water bottle/insulated container (2-liter capacity) and have
it with him at all times. A “no water, no work” policy shall be strictly adhered to.
 No person shall work alone (i.e., isolated) while a red heat stress danger category IV
condition exists at the work site.
POLICY
 Extra precautions shall be taken when flame-resistant clothing (FRC) are required to be
worn while a red heat stress danger category IV exists at the work site, as such fabrics can
intensify heat stress. Other types of fabrics which may increase heat stress (e.g., polyester,
nylon) shall not be worn while a danger category IV exists at the work site.
G. Recovery
Any employee experiencing symptoms of a heat-related illness (see Appendix B) shall be allowed
to fully recover in an appropriate recovery area before returning to work. Recovery areas shall
be shaded, cool and supplied with water. Victims of severe heat exhaustion or heat stroke shall
be immediately evacuated to the nearest medical facility with a qualified medical doctor who can
provide proper treatment. Such incidents shall be properly reported.
H. Special Considerations during Ramadan

Appropriate planning and heat stress mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the specific
work plan (e.g., HIRA) for workers who are fasting during Ramadan if it occurs during the
summer. Supplies of cool drinking water shall be made available for workers as needed during
Ramadan (e.g., for a worker experiencing symptoms of a heat-related illness).
I. Other Administrative Controls

Other administrative controls shall be used as appropriate to reduce heat stress, including using
powered equipment to replace manual labor, limiting worker occupancy duration within
confined areas and modifying work plans.
19.9 Personal Protective Controls
A. Ice Cooling Garments
Commercially available ice vests, neck/wrist wraps, etc., may be provided to employees as
needed (e.g., who work for extended periods inside a confined space during hot weather). Ice
packets shall be replaced as required.
B. Clothing
Light colored, lightweight, breathable clothing that covers as much of the body as possible,
including the head, shall be worn when working in direct sunlight. Since FRC and other synthetic
fabrics (e.g., polyester, nylon) increase heat stress, appropriate planning and mitigation
measures shall be incorporated into the specific work plans (e.g., Job Safety Analysis) for
personnel wearing this type of clothing while working in conditions with a high heat stress
potential.
C. Wetted Clothing/Towels
During periods of high heat stress potential, employers are to provide employees with wetted
terry cloth towels and/or allow them to wet their normal work clothes as necessary to provide
cooling for their body. Cool water supplies (not ice water) separate from drinking water shall be
used for this purpose (e.g., containers of clean water with a faucet/spigot for sanitary
distribution, instead of dipping).
POLICY
19.10 Training
51.6.1 Heat stress awareness training shall be provided just before and during the hot
summer months to all applicable personnel (e.g., who work outdoors) and those who
manage personnel and have responsibilities for establishing heat stress mitigation
measures.
Heat stress awareness training shall include the following elements:
 Hazards of heat stress.

 Recognition of signs and symptoms of heat stress. See Appendix B.
 First aid procedures for heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses.
 Employee responsibilities in avoiding/responding to heat-related illness.
 Supervisor responsibilities in avoiding/responding to heat-related illness.
 Dangers of the use of drugs, including prescription and over-the counter medicines,
in hot work environments.
 Measures employees can take to minimize the effects of heat stress (hydration, work
pace, use of wet towels, good nutritional habits, etc.).
 Personal monitoring and buddy system controls.
Note:
 Training shall emphasize that heat stress can affect an individual’s ability to reason
clearly. This may cause a person to fail to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat
stress. For this reason, self-monitoring shall be augmented by prescribed check
times and monitoring controls.
 Check times are intervals at which a heat stress-trained supervisor or observer

(including a coworker) checks to see if there are obvious symptoms of heat-related
illness or if there is any sense of diminished capacity in himself and his coworkers,
rather than waiting for symptoms to appear.
 First aid and other emergency res-ponders shall be properly trained in the
recognition and treatment of heat-related illnesses.
POLICY

Appendix B
POLICY
Heat Related Illnesses

1. Heat Cramps
Although heat cramps are not dangerous, they are an early warning sign for heat exhaustion and
that the body’s ability to cope with heat is being exceeded.
Causes:
• Occurs when the body loses too much salt through sweating.
• Attributed to an electrolyte imbalance caused by sweating.
Symptoms include:
• Painful cramping of the muscles (e.g., arms, legs or stomach).
• Hot, moist skin.
• Slightly elevated body temperature.
Treatment includes:
• Stop all activity.
• Rest in a cool, shaded area (e.g., designated break/recovery area).
• Loosen clothing, Drink water.
• If symptoms persist, seek medical aid.
Another early indication that heat stress conditions may be present is the appearance of heat rash,
which is an itchy rash that occurs when the skin becomes swollen and plugs the sweat glands. This is
not a life-threatening condition.
2. Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is the body’s response to an excessive loss of water and salt by sweating. Heat
exhaustion poses a higher risk to older employees and those with coronary artery disease or
emphysema (a lung condition causing breathing impairment).
Causes:
 Occurs when the fluids and/or salt lost in sweating are not replaced.
 Enlarged surface blood vessels.
Symptoms include:
 Heavy sweating, Intense thirst and cool, moist skin.
 Weakness and dizziness, Headache and blurred vision.
 Nausea and vomiting, Pale or flushed appearance.
 Mood changes such as irritability or confusion, Rapid pulse and Fainting.
Treatment includes:
 Move the victim to a cool, shaded area (e.g., designated break/recovery area).
 Call for medical help.
 Loosen the victim’s clothing, Remove unnecessary clothing.
 Shower or sponge the victim’s skin with cool water.
 Have the victim drink water or sport drinks that have electrolytes (e.g., Gatorade).
POLICY
Notes:
1. Heat exhaustion can rapidly progress to heat stroke if not properly treated. People suffering from
heat exhaustion must not be expected to take care of themselves because they may lack
coordination and become confused. Heat exhaustion requires fast response to prevent worsening
heat stress problems.
2. Remember that sweating only cools the body if the sweat evaporates. If it cannot evaporate, it
cannot cool. Thus, even under moderate or cool working conditions, it is possible to suffer heat
stress if you are inside protective clothing that interferes with your body’s cooling or working in
high-humidity conditions.
3. Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is a medical emergency and death or permanent tissue damage may occur if treatment
is not given promptly. Collapse is often misinterpreted as a heart attack or head injury.
Causes:
 Occurs when the body no longer sweats and holds so much heat such that the body’s system of
temperature regulation fails and body temperature reaches dangerous levels.
 Body depleted of salt and water.
Symptoms include:
 Dry, hot skin with no sweating.
 High body temperature (above 40 °C [103 °F]).
 Strong, rapid pulse, Chills, Weakness, nausea, vomiting.
 Mental confusion, Seizures or convulsions, Collapse, loss of consciousness.
Treatment includes:
 Immediately call or arrange for professional medical help.

 Cool the victim down as much as possible while waiting for medical help:
Move the victim immediately to a cool, shaded area.

Loosen or remove heavy clothing.
Have the victim lie flat with feet elevated
Fan and mist the victim’s body with water.
Monitor the victim’s breathing.
Have the victim drink water or sport drinks that have electrolytes (e.g., Gatorade).
Do not give fluids if the victim is unconscious.
Notes:
 Sometimes, heat stoke occurs after the person has already developed heat exhaustion, but heat
stroke can also strike suddenly with little warning.
 Regardless of the worker’s protest, no person suspected of being ill from heat
stroke shall be sent home or left unattended unless/until a medical doctor has
specifically approved such an action.
