HSE

The ACK POWER TECHNOLOGY LTD represents a visionary to foster sustainable growth and promote positive impact within the industry and the community. This concept goes beyond profit-seeking and aims to balance economic, environmental, and social considerations to create a holistic ecosystem.

HSE INTRODUCTION

JOB SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (JSEA)

With the trial journey of Jamuna bridge rail way project, SIF feel proud and honored being a part of this historic partner.

The HES Representative in conjunction with the Project Management Team shall develop a preliminary Job Safety and Environmental Analysis (JSEA) for the project work activities.

Having performed the JSEA and assessed the risk, control measures shall be determined. Where possible the risk should be minimized and/or eliminated through changes to the work process. Where this is not practicable other forms of control may be required. SEA will be reviewed and addressed at the toolbox meeting with work crew to adequately manage the hazards and risks associated with the project.

ORGANIZATION AND RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENTS

HEALTH AND SAFETY PERSONNEL

ACK Power Technology Ltd will engage suitably qualified and experienced personnel to fill the following positions to ensure that health and safety issues are prevented and/or managed on the project: HES Representative HES Supervisor(s), and Paramedic In addition, suitably candidates will be encouraged from the workforce to be trained as First Aiders to compliment the growing ranks of already qualified First Aiders within the ACK Power Technology Ltd pool of personnel and workforce.

A HES Budget will be developed to ensure that both the corporate and HES objectives of the HES Management System requirements on the project can be achieved. The following comprise cost categories around which the budget for health and safety will be allocated on the project:

Health, Environment and Safety Budget

  • HES Personnel.
  • Risk Management Activities.
  • Health and Safety Communications.
  • Meetings Training (includes Inductions)
  • Auditing.
  • Safety Improvement Programs (includes Safety Behavior Program, Transport & Travel Management).
  • Personal Protective Equipment.
  • First Aid.
  • Fire / Emergency.
  • Equipment Equipment & Plant Safety Program.

JOB SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (JSEA)

The HES Representative in conjunction with the Project Management Team shall develop a preliminary Job Safety and Environmental Analysis (JSEA) for the project work activities.

Having performed the JSEA and assessed the risk, control measures shall be determined. Where possible the risk should be minimized and/or eliminated through changes to the work process. Where this is not practicable other forms of control may be required. SEA will be reviewed and addressed at the toolbox meeting with work crew to adequately manage the hazards and risks associated with the project.

TRAINING

ACK Power Technology Ltd Project Management team has the responsibility to ensure its management, supervisors and employees have the necessary skills and knowledge and are competent to advise and enforce compliance of this Project HES Management Plan (PHSEMP).

In understanding the requirements for employee selection, competency and training it is important to recognize that almost all personnel involved in construction, operation and maintenance can create a safety hazard if they are not competent, qualified and suitably trained to carry out their role.

ACK Power Technology Ltd employees engaged to work, as part of the Project, will attend the project specific safety induction before commencing on site work. This induction will be reviewed and updated to suit the changing project conditions. The HES Representative shall develop and implement induction requirements for project staff and personnel. The HES Representative shall develop a register of inducted personnel. It is the project management’s responsibility to ensure that personnel do not commence field operations until inducted.

All personnel shall be required to complete an Induction Attendance form prior to the induction. All licenses and certificates of competency held must be recorded on the Induction Attendance form.

An integral part of the induction process will be the explanation of the following:

  • Objectives of the project.
  • Project safety objectives.
  • Emergency Response Procedures.
  • Site-specific hazards.
  • Site safety rules.
  • Smoking policy.
  • Alcohol and other Drugs Policy.
  • Hazard Identification and reporting.
  • JSEA preparation.
  • Toolbox meetings.
  • Incident reporting and investigation.
  • Site orientation.

Following the main induction all personnel are to have a familiarization tour of the Project accommodation and the following is to be pointed out

  • Emergency Procedure and facilities e.g. First Aid, Fire Extinguishers, Assembly Points, etc.
  • Hours of Work.
  • First Aid Representative.
  • Personnel in crew.
  • Location of Amenities.

The HES Representative shall implement the requirements of the Project Line Safety Training Proced

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT

ACK Power Technology Ltd Project Management team will conduct a construction hazard analysis workshop prior to commencing construction activities. Hazard analysis should include Engineering, Construction and Operational personnel where applicable.

ACK Power Technology Ltd Project Management team shall identify hazards and risks using a systematic approach. Hazard identification and reviews are to be conducted throughout the project lifetime; outcomes from these will be incorporated into action registers.

A Hazard Review will be performed on any project work that has the potential to affect or create a new Major Accident Event (MAE). A MAE is any one incident with the potential to cause a fatality, or significant permanent environmental damage. MAE’s where identified will be recorded in the Hazard Register.

ACK Power Technology Ltd Project Management team will ensure that a Pre-Construction Hazard Assessment is performed on any work activity that could be classified as hazardous.

ACK Power Technology Ltd shall provide if any temporary protective shielding is required to protect construction activities from nearby operations. ACK Power Technology Ltd shall provide for, and maintain, all signs, lights, barriers and traffic barricades needed to inform drivers of hazards to guide traffic safely past temporary obstruction and to protect workmen.

Daily work activities shall be subjected to a Job Safety & Environment Analysis (JSEA) involving all those taking part in the work activity. General work activities that require more detailed guidance shall be subjected to a Safe Work Instruction (SWI). Following Hazard assessment, possible control measures must be defined for situations of unacceptable risk. A hierarchy of control measures to eliminate or minimize the risk should be followed in the priority order noted and consists of:

  • Elimination
  • Substitution
  • Isolation
  • Engineering controls
  • Administrative controls
  • Use of personal protective equipment

Each of these controls should be applied in the above order as far as possible to reduce the risk to as Low as Reasonably Practical (ALARP). It may be necessary to use a combination of these to eliminate the risk or reduce it to an acceptable level.
