1 Scope of Application This standard applies on all sites from MHPSE. This standard applies for MHPSE staff and for staff of subcontractors MHPSE.

2 Objective Preventing accidents and environmental incidents are the basic aspects of MHPSEs’ HSE plan. The objective of this program is to define basic principles and procedures in safety, health and environmental protection and make them available for all involved persons. Everyone working on the site is entitled to a safe work place environment and suitable tools or equipment to do their job without damaging their health, risking their life’s and harming the environment. All managers on the site will plan and implement the working procedures, so that employees can do their job with as little stress as possible. In addition, the management has to provide a healthy, safe workplace to ensure efficient operation. "Safe working" must be considered essentially by all involved persons. This is just as important as requirements regarding quality, cost and planning. Failure to comply with these requirements is not tolerable. We take it for granted that all involved persons will adhere to our safety, health and environmental protection requirements as described in their contracts. This HSE plan pointed out the minimum standards that have to be adapted to project-specific conditions. Should local laws or regulations deviate from this, the more stringent regulation must be applied. This HSE plan is a part of contracts with subcontractors.

2.1 Project overview

Client: Project name: Project location: MHPSE: Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH Schifferstrasse 80 47059 Duisburg Tel.: +49 (0)203 8038 0 Info: www.eu.mhps.com

2.2 Location of the site



2.3 Scope of delivery

Detailed erection planning’s for the individual work steps have been described and are retained on site by HPE and their subcontractors. These internal erection planning’s are the basis for the risk assessments as well as for erection and work instructions for the site management and the HSE staff.

2.4 HSE strategy

MHPSEs’ HSE strategy is described in the HSE company policy, in which MHPSEs’ safety, health and environmental protection system is outlined. The management system forms the framework for this. HPE will ensure that all staff and subcontractors employed on the project are familiar with the HSE strategy. The HSE company policy has to be kept on site, approved and signed. In the role of a main contractor, HPE has worked out the following strategic targets and a 10 point program. MHPSEs’ HSE strategy is supported by defined HSE standards that prescribe compliance with and implementation of specific requirements and activities. HSE strategy - Compliance with all HSE rules and regulations. - Health and safety of staff during work have priority. - All subcontractors must adhere to the HSE plan while working on the site. - The use of resources has to be optimized. - Materials and the environment must be protected. - A constant improvement of the HSE plan is strived. - All staff has to understand the HSE strategy and be aware of it in terms of their responsibilities.

10 point program for the effective implementation of the HSE strategy: 1. The selection of competent managers and staff to ensure safe working and compliance with the rules

and regulations. A training program for all staff is implemented.

2. This standard will serve as a basis for compiling a project-specific HSE plan.

3. The instruction of staff on site includes the work-specific and site specific risks. Therefor a training plan is created, which includes training parts for hazardous work.

4. A continuous assessment of working conditions beyond the construction phase on site by a main risk

assessment, by job-related construction and working instructions and by regular checks, inspections and safety discussions. Further a continuous assessment of working conditions by LMRA will take place.

5. The implementation of a permit to work system (PTW) in cooperation with the client, for example:

excavation, demolition and hot-work-activities, openings as well as working in confined spaces.

6. Regular inspection of the site including all machines, devices, vehicles, tools, load handling device, personal protective equipment and other equipment to ensure safe conditions on site.

7. Ensuring effective communication between the site manager and the HSE specialists.

8. Staff will receive an occupational health check-up.

9. Consequent protection of the environment on site.

10. The notification and examination of incidents and accidents and a statistical evaluation as a basis for

improvement measures. The following targets should be achieved by the HPE - HSE strategy: - Safety: no accidents and incidents - Health: no illnesses and resulting absences - Environment: no environmental incidents



2.5 SCC

All HPE staff on sites must have a valid safety certificate at SCC level/document 17 or 18. Subcontractors must hold a certified health and safety management system for the whole period of construction and must prove this on request. A copy of this proof is to be given to the HPE HSE department prior to start of work. This also applies to a renewal of the certificate. Generally accepted are certifications, e.g. SCC, OHSAS, SeSaM as proof. In some cases an assessment can be carried out in accordance with SCC doc. 10 in consultation with and with the approval of HPE-HS. The contractor shall bear any costs for this. A minimum of 90 % of the subcontractors’ employees have to hold a valid safety certificate on SCC-level doc. 17 or 18. HPE is entitled to carry out checks on the validity of the information provided by the contractor at the contractors’ office premises at any time after prior notification. HPE will inform the contractor promptly of the results of the evaluation of the check list. Subcontractors are responsible for ensuring that their subcontractors can also show valid SCC certificates. Appropriate lists have to be sent to the HSE department on the HPE site.

2.6 Cooperation with our client

The contract or the site regulations regulates the cooperation with the client on HSE-related issues. This Standard HSE Plan must be adapted corresponding to.

2.7 Valid laws and regulations

For the project responsible persons must be nominated who will ensure that safety, health and environmental protection regulations and the client's corresponding regulations are legally complied with (see Section 3.1 Organization). Under the terms of the contract all subcontractors on site have to be informed of country-specific laws and standards. The following laws and regulations must be obeyed when carrying out the work (see 9.1). In case of differing regulations, the regulations that describe a higher protection target have to be used.

2.8 Safety in the planning phase

2.8.1 HSE plan

General Before starting work on site HPE will create a safety, health and environmental protection program (HSE plan) and coordinate it with the client. Risks and hazards are associated with any construction activity. Based on guidelines, basic principles and procedures the HSE plan describes the procedure that is used to detect and eliminate these foreseeable risks and hazards. The specifications of the HSE plan must under the terms of our contract be applied by all subcontractors on site. The HSE plan is based on already existing systems, like SCC or OHSAS 18001. The HSE plan exclusively relates to the construction phase on the site. Requirements to the HSE plan The clients’ site regulations will serve as a basis and framework for the HSE plan. In turn the subcontractors have to compile any amendments to this HSE plan as part of their services. MHPSEs’ HSE plan and the subcontractors' amendments will each apply as self-sufficient documents. Any written matter and documents about the construction time created in this connection will be brought together



as an HSE document when the construction work has been finished. Cooperation with subcontractors is described in Sec. 3.

2.8.2 Requirements for the SiGe-plan

Another important guideline for occupational health and safety on site is the safety and health coordination (SiGe-coordination) normally performed by the client. Focal point of SiGe-coordination by the client is the interface between the contract sections on the site. For this purpose an agreement with the client on SiGe-coordination is desirable. All relevant documents required to assess the SiGe-plan have to be submitted to HPE.

2.9 Safety in the erection and commissioning phase

Legislation requires every subcontractor to identify dangerous work processes and describe it in a risk assessment. These risk assessments are checked by HPE HSE and made available to the client. Risk assessments can only be carried out by qualified persons. The risk assessment and evaluation system for the site is divided into 7 levels:

1. Pre-qualification Subcontractors must undergo a pre-qualification before starting work. This includes: - Information on subcontractors, - Work to be carried out including monitoring, - The names of the staff including their qualifications (e.g. SCC certificate, first aid training etc.), - Subcontractors’ SCC certification (or comparable), - 9001 QM certificate, - Reference list.

Only after the pre-qualification documents have been checked access to the site can be granted (see Sec. 3.4.1).

2. General risk assessment The general risk assessment offers a good view on the whole project. General risks are described and appropriate measures mentioned to avoid or reduce them (see Sec. 8.2). The general risk assessment will be generated and actualized by HPE-HS.

3. Technical erection specifications (TMS) The TMS contains a description of the erection sequences of the individual units and will also be used as a basis for compiling the subcontractors’ documents.

4. Job-related erection instructions with risk analysis (Method Statement with Risk Analysis) Based on the general risk assessment, job-related erection instructions with risk analyses must be created by the relevant subcontractors. Before start of work these documents have to be sent to HPE and approved (see Sec. 8.2). The document will be compiled in two stages: - first of all the risk assessment will be filled with the by this date known erection steps and the resulting

risks before and after corrective measures and submitted to HPE for checking - by no later than 1 week before start of work the final risk assessment will be submitted. This form will also

be checked by HPE (see Sec. 4.3.2).

Job-related erection instructions with risk analysis deals with a specific working procedure, such as an individual erection procedure or working in confined spaces. Here this working procedure is divided into separate work steps. Then gradually the hazards and risks including the appropriate protective measures are determined. Each subcontractor is under an obligation to instruct his staff on the principle of the job-related erection instructions with risk analysis before work starts and has to prove this. This for example includes the PTW system (see Sec. 6.3).



The job-related erection instructions with risk analyses are normally created by the subcontractors as a tool, as instructions for safe implementation of the work and as part of the PTW system. Hereby HPE will be informed of the various work steps, the risks, the responsible persons, the participants' necessary qualifications and about the required safety precautions. The clients’ and HPE site management reserve the right to specify for all work whether job-related work instructions must be created before the start.

5. Subcontractors' amendments to the HPE HSE plan 4 weeks before start of work each subcontractor will submit his amendments to the HPE HSE plan to HPE for approval. The amendments have to comply with MHPSEs’ HSE plan. Essential points for example are: - internal erection planning of the relevant subcontractors - presentation of the internal HSE organization, naming the HSE staff - qualification matrix - job-related erection instructions with risk analysis - working and operating instructions for tools, equipment and hazardous materials - regular safety-inspections, -discussion and other meetings - communication and reporting, notifying incidents and accidents - list of hazardous materials used on site - emergency planning

The subcontractor must update his amendments if local regulations or the clients’ regulations, MHPSEs’ regulations or the conditions on site change.

6. Regular checks and safety and coordination meetings Here the interfaces between the different trades and work areas are an essential part. Regular inspections are carried out announced and unannounced by the clients’ representatives, by HPE and the relevant subcontractors. In addition HPE will carry out regular audits. Thus the defined HSE standard will be guaranteed and constantly improved. The regular checks, inspections and safety and coordination meetings will be understood as a component part of a continuous improvement process of the HSE management system. a) Initial instruction of all employees on site Apart from the initial instruction by the client, all HPE and subcontractors' employees will be instructed in the safety requirements of the site before the relevant work begins. The relevant subcontractors will support this. b) Kick off meeting before start of work on site A kick off meeting will take place between HPE and the subcontractors before work begins on site. The following points will be dealt with during this meeting: - Presentation of the most important contents of the HSE plan by HPE HSE staff. - Instruction of a responsible subcontractor representative regarding the HSE plan by MHPSEs’ HSE staff. - Presentation of the subcontractors’ HSE documents by a responsible representative and joint evaluation

of the documents. c) Toolbox meetings MHPSEs’ tasks include defining topics for regular HSE trainings and toolbox meetings. Toolbox meetings are short, regularly occurring meetings at which specific HSE matters are discussed. Minutes must be created for each toolbox meeting which show the topic, staff present and if necessary important agreements. For their part, all subcontractors must organize HSE trainings and toolbox meeting for the staff they employ on site and prove this to HPE. Comprehensive training material can be provided on request by the HPE HS department. Frequency of subcontractors' toolbox meetings: Regularly at least once a week. Participants:

HSE manager or HSE staff, responsible HPE site manager, responsible HPE field manager, responsible subcontractors’ site manager and HSE staff of subcontractor.

d) Regular coordination meetings Regular coordination meetings will take place at different levels with the clients’ managers, MHPSEs’ managers and the involved subcontractors. With regard to HSE more important problems and interfaces will be the priority at these meetings. Participants: Responsible site manager, HSE manager Frequency: Regularly once a week or as required 7. LMRA (last minute risk assessment) The LMRA is carried out daily before work starts on work place on site. This deals specifically with the current work, the corresponding procedures and for example the current risks from other trades. This means that with a changing workplace a new LMRA has to be created. The LMRA must be recorded in writing (see Sec. 8.2, VO-306-003-08).

Main document sequence before start of work

2.9.1 Assembly activities

2.10 Visitors

All visitors must undergo an initial instruction to be allowed to go on site. They will be issued with a visitor pass. All visitors of HPE will be issued with basic PPE equipment to visit the site (this does not include office areas see Sec. 6.6). Visitors must be accompanied when on site. The person visited bears responsibility for the visitor, especially regarding correct HSE behavior.

2.11 Violations of HSE regulations (measures to implement the site regulations)

Compliance with the HSE plan is monitored by constant checks and inspections by HPE. Disciplinary measures are taken by HPE's site management. Violations of HSE regulations are normally punished in three stages (see Sec. 8.2).



3 Organization and Responsibility

3.1 General

MHPSE and the respective subcontractors have to ensure that the proper implementation of the work during the term of the contract is monitored by a sufficient number of experienced, qualified supervisors on site.

there is imminent danger. - Qualification in accordance with/ based on:

Germany: "Specialist in Health and Safety at Work" Netherlands: middelbare VeiligheidsKunde

3.5.6 Cooperation between the site management and HSE staff

Close cooperation between the site management and the HSE staff is a basis for a good HSE standard on site. MHPSEs’ or the relevant subcontractors' site management is responsible for safety, health and environmental protection on site. HSE staff will advise the site managers on matters of safety, health and environmental protection.



HSE staff is entitled to give instructions if there is imminent danger otherwise they act in an advisory capacity.

3.6 HSE-audits/management-review

As part of MHPSEs’ work management system HSE audits are organized in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the HSE system and to work out measures to be implemented as part of the continuous improvement process.

3.7 Site regulations

Normally the site regulations are compiled by the client. Always the current version is to be used. (see Sec. 8.2)

3.7.1 Site procedures

Site procedures are supplements to the site regulations. These procedures are handed out to the subcontractors in the actual version in addition with the site regulations.

3.8 Evacuation and emergency planning

3.8.1 General

The client is responsible for the basic evacuation and emergency plan and supplemented with the regulations for the specific work area. The evacuation and emergency plan will constantly be updated. Subcontractors' managers will be informed about the specifications and updates. All staff has to be informed about this by their supervisors by instruction. Each subcontractor will appoint a manager to deal with evacuation and emergency planning matters. An arrangement for a deputy has to be made. In the case of an evacuation this person will make sure that everybody is at the assembly point. He will also start first aid measures and will help the sites’ rescue team. All managers must take part in exercises whenever the rescue team, the medical emergency service or the fire department require it. In the case of emergencies the whole staff has to follow the instructions of the rescue service. The evacuation and emergency planning will be disclosed by MHPSE when erection starts and agreed with the subcontractors. Each piece of emergency equipment must be marked clearly and adequately.

3.8.2 Alarm/Test alarm

A test alarm will be carried out at regular intervals by the client or MHPSE. When the alarm sounds all people must switch off their machines and other equipment, turn off gas bottles etc. and then meet at the specified emergency assembly points. There your name will be taken in order to get an idea of the number of people missing. You must look out for people who have not heard the alarm. The person responsible for emergency planning for each subcontractor must determine who is present at the assembly point and who isn't. After the evacuation MHPSE and the subcontractors must discuss and record in writing any possible improvements to the evacuation procedure. Emergency telephones must be provided on the construction site.

3.8.3 Emergency numbers

The emergency numbers for - the local fire department



- fire, accident, danger - safety at work and - environmental protection

are recorded differently in the emergency plan depending on the site and the contractor will inform his staff of them.

3.8.4 Reporting channels in the case of emergencies

The following must be done when making an emergency telephone call: - call and say that there is an emergency or an incident or - inform the control room of the site in which work is going on - WHEN did the incident happen - give the location WHERE the emergency or incident happened, e.g. road, building, side of building, floor,

platform - describe WHAT happened, e.g. accident or danger because of fire, gas, water - describe the situation, e.g. give details of and number of injured, type of injury, rescue required - give the location of the guide - tell WHO called, give the name and telephone number of where the call was made - stay on the telephone until the message has been understood and confirmed - WAIT for queries.

Further procedures can be added at operational level.

3.8.5 Action to be taken in the event of an incident

In the event of an incident (e.g. emergency, dangerous situation, malfunction) the following action have to be taken apart from the created, escape and rescue plans set out for the danger area: - stop all work immediately - switch off all electrical equipment (work equipment, heating equipment) - switch off ventilation equipment - close all windows and doors - leave the danger area immediately - across to the wind direction if there are gases and fumes - use the safety facilities for this purpose - look for the specified assembly points - ensure that everybody is there and inform the local fire department - follow the instructions of the supervisory staff - keep emergency exits clear - keep exits, stairs, emergency exits and fire extinguishing equipment clear - do not use lifts - park vehicles on the right hand side of the street and leave the key inside - turn off the car engine and lights - keep calm

The instructions of the people responsible for regulatory and safety tasks must be obeyed. Stopping in or walking or driving through blocked off areas (blocked off with poles or barrier tape) is strictly forbidden. Infringements may be punished by being banned from the site.

3.9 First aid

The client or MHPSE is responsible for organizing a central first aid station. In addition, each subcontractor has to have his own first aid equipment that must meet the requirements of local legislation. In accordance with local legislation each subcontractor must appoint a certain number of first aiders, which must be demonstrated to MHPSE. These persons must take part in the site's rescue team drills. Each injury must be recorded and dealt with by expert personnel and recorded in the sites’ first aid log book. In an emergency everybody is bound to give first aid. In addition the necessary rescue measures, such as calling the fire department or an ambulance must be performed. MHPSE must be informed.



3.9.1 Medical Treatment

The medical treatment is to ensure by nearby hospitals or special medicals. Telephone Numbers are to declare by emergency plan.

3.9.2 Site rescue team

Depending of the size of the site there normally is a site rescue team that is organized by the client.

3.10 Rescuing from heights

For the following events: - rescuing and securing injured people at height - initial care at the place of the accident - fastest possible transport to ground level, for example:

rescuing from the stanchions by getting out and abseiling to the outer edges of the stanchions,

rescuing from the stanchions by being lowered within the stanchions up to the next manhole and then evacuating via crossbars and connecting bridges to the lift,

rescuing from installation sites outside the stanchions by abseiling,

rescuing by using a crane and people conveying equipment etc. Trained high level rescue experts are required who are normally organized by the client.

4 Subcontractors' Obligation

Necessary operations for realization of this standard.

4.1 Responsibility

If employees of more than one subcontractor are working on a workplace the subcontractors are engaged to work together on the implementation of the safety and health protection regulations. If this is necessary for the safety and health protection of employees at work, depending on the type of work, the subcontractors must inform themselves in particular and their staff of the risks for the safety and health of employees associated with the work and agree on measures to prevent these risks. Depending on the type of work the subcontractor must ensure that the employees of other subcontractors who are working in his operation have been given reasonable instructions on the risks to their safety and health while they are working in his operation. When using subcontractors, MHPSEs’ field manager is responsible for coordinating the work of the different subcontractors on the site. HSE staff will advise the field manager on matters of safety, health and environmental protection. This requirement will be taken into consideration at the various internal coordination meetings between the MHPSE managers and the subcontractors. Within his area of work each subcontractor bears full responsibility for the health, safety and wellbeing of his employees. The above paragraph applies in turn to any other particular subcontractor awards. The principal and MHPSE will try to separate the work of the different subcontractors on the site. In order to minimize the dangers of different subcontractors working at the same time in one place the work permit system is implemented on the site (see Sec. 6.3). Safety and health protection coordination on site is normally performed by the client.

4.1.1 Subcontractors’ responsible person/language skills

All work has to be done under the management and supervision of a responsible person on site who is authorized to represent the contractor (e.g. site manager). The subcontractor must give the name of the responsible person and his deputy to the site contact person who is responsible for implementing the order not later than 10 working days before work starts (see Sec. 8.2). The responsible person and his deputy must have the necessary reliability, technical qualifications and physical suitability and have sufficient language skills to understand the instructions of the responsible



MHPSE persons in the language used on site and to be able to pass these on to the employees used by the subcontractor in a language that they will understand. If it is to perform his work necessary the responsible person must entrust other supervisors (SV’s) with the management and supervision of the work on site and give the names of these in writing to the responsible contact person on site for the implementation of the order before work begins. The SV’s must be instructed by the responsible person in accordance with the instructions given him by MHPSE and in the same way must be suitable for managing and supervising the work on site (including language skills). This means they must have the necessary technical knowledge and knowledge about safety at work. If the responsible person uses one or more SV’s, he remains responsible for their supervision, a clear selection of their tasks and authorizations and for a controlled cooperation. If a SV is prevented from performing his duties and if no other SV can be used, the responsible person or his deputy must perform their tasks by themselves. The subcontractor must by suitable regulations ensure that the responsible person and the SV’s that may be entrusted with them can take on the tasks and authorities. In particular they must be entitled to the required authority with regard to the subcontractors’ employees and also to his subcontractors’ employees. While the work is being carried out either the responsible person, his deputy or an SV commissioned by him, must be present and constantly within reach on site. All the subcontractors’ employees must be able to understand emergency instructions and be able to read warning notices and other instruction notices on site. In addition, the subcontractor and his staff must be familiar with the meaning of the safety notices on site.

4.2 Subcontractors' HSE staff

4.2.1 Amount of safety specialists

The number of HSE staff who is supplied by the subcontractors depends on the type of work to be done and the associated assessment of working conditions. The following table gives the recommended amount:

Employees HSE mgr HSE officer

<10 0,4 1)

>10 1

>50 1 0

>100 1 1

>200 1 2

>300 1 3

The employees must work in full time (except for 1)

). Depending on the results of the risk analyses and the subcontractors' HSE performance, if necessary the amount of HSE staff on site may be higher or lower. The MHPSE HSE manager must conduct the assessment.

4.2.2 Qualification of health and safety at work specialists

see Sec. 3.5.5

4.2.3 Cooperation between the site construction management and HSE specialists

see Sec. 3.5.6

4.3 Documents and records to be provided

4.3.1 Pre-qualification documents

Must be submitted 6 weeks before the kick off meeting.



4.3.2 Job-related erection instructions with risk analysis (general)

Job-related erection instructions with risk analysis must be submitted to MHPSE 4 weeks before start of work. Work can only start after the documents have been checked and approved.

4.3.3 Supplementary documents for the MHPSE HSE plan

Must be submitted 4 weeks before the kick off meeting.

4.3.4 Job-related erection instructions with risk analysis (detailed)

Must be submitted 1 week before start of work.

4.3.5 Reports

Monthly reports The data required for the monthly report (normally amount of hours, events, amount of staff) have to be sent to MHPSE on the 1st working day of the following month. Accident and incident investigations and reports Information on accidents, serious material damage (> 10.000 €) and fires have to be sent to MHPSE immediately as a rapid notification. Reports must be compiled as quickly as possible (in no more than 1 day) and forwarded to MHPSE.

4.3.5.1 Notifying and analyzing adverse events

The contractor agrees to process and analyze incident data in MHPSEs’ statistics.

4.3.5.2 Accidents

Each accident must be immediately recorded by the relevant subcontractor and forwarded to MHPSE. This document is the basis for MHPSEs’ accident report that is given to the client and included in the statistics. It must completely be filled out especially a description of how the accident happened as well as measures taken to avoid a similar accident in future. The subcontractor must immediately inform the responsible contact person of the site about any accidents and damage so MHPSE can comply with the local obligation to notify the authorities. For slight injuries Sec. 4.5 restricted work cases has to be noted!

4.3.5.3 Other incidents

The notification and analysis of other incidents must be used logically (see Sec. 4.3.5).

4.3.6 Checking the HSE records

The subcontractors’ (including their subcontractors') HSE records are checked during audits or random test checks.

4.3.7 Operating instructions

Necessary operating instructions must be created by the subcontractors. MHPSE reserves the right to create its own operating instructions and to introduce them as binding instructions.

4.4 Instruction obligations

HSE management systems and legislation prescribe that all subcontractors must only employ appropriately qualified, trained staff for the respective work. This is to ensure that work on site can be carried out safely and without any negative consequences for the environment. MHPSE and the subcontractors must prove to the client that they have carried out the training program in accordance with their internal health and safety management system.



At least one manager from each subcontractor has to take part in an HSE instruction held by MHPSE before start of work on site (see Sec. 8.2, VO-306-005-01). Each subcontractor is responsible for instructing his staff about the content of the clients’ general and specific site regulations as well as MHPSEs’ HSE-plan before start of work. Subcontractors' duties regarding health and safety must be passed on to the relevant responsible person by each subcontractor in writing (see Sec. 4.1.1). Every employee has to hold a valid personal safety logbook. Informing and instruction When informing his employees the subcontractor must take the required precautions to ensure that the employees - are given adequate information, particularly on the associated risks that arise from the available tools in

their direct work environment even if they do not use these tools themselves and - if necessary, provide operating instructions for the tools used in their work in a form and language that

they can understand. The operating instructions must at least contain information on the conditions of use, foreseeable malfunctions and the experience available regarding the use of the tool.

When instructing, the subcontractor must take the required precautions so that - employees who use tools are given adequate instruction particularly about the risks associated by using

them and - staff who is responsible for carrying out repair, servicing and conversion work are given adequate

special instruction.

4.4.1 Training matrix

Before starting work the subcontractor must submit the planned training or instruction measures as a matrix (see Sec. 8.2, VO-306-005-02).

4.4.2 HSE motivation

The subcontractor is obliged to motivate his staff with regard to correct HSE behavior. Incentives or other measures are welcomed.

4.5 Restricted work cases

Subcontractors have to set up and maintain restricted workplaces for staff that is slightly injured or able to work to a limited extent. These do not necessarily have to be on site, it is also possible to set them up in the home office.

4.6 Other agreements

Outside working hours at least one person from each subcontractor must constantly be available by phone. This availability should be set out on a roster. Any HSE-specific data should be forwarded to MHPSE in electronic form.

5 Health protection

5.1 Check ups

The subcontractor is responsible for ensuring that only such staff is used who have successfully undergone the currently required occupational medical check-ups.

5.2 Work at heat

All workplaces have to be designed so that due to the combination of stress by heat, labor and if necessary clothing no health hazards will be created. There is the danger that the heat from the body in addition with the heat from outside can’t be transferred to the surrounding air.



5.3 Weather conditions

The necessary protective measures for building in the cold season must be specified by the respective subcontractors as part of a workplace-related risk assessment. Work places and traffic routes must be safe to walk on and not slippery. They must be kept free of snow and ice by the relevant subcontractors and lighten sufficiently. The snow-clearing and lighting of the traffic routes for public is normally done by the client. Stationary work places must also be protected from the weather and if necessary heated. Suitable protective clothing must be provided for the employees by the relevant subcontractors. Tools and construction equipment must be protected so that they can be operated safely (e.g. remove ice from windscreens, loosen operating levers and ensure there is no danger of slipping on areas that are walked on or walked up). Take care when operating construction equipment on frozen earth. Engines must be operated in accordance to the operating instructions. Frozen earth must be protected from collapsing (when it melts).

5.4 Social facilities

Offices, break rooms, toilets, washing facilities, showers etc. have to be available in sufficient amount and must be cleaned and maintained regularly. Sufficient heating and lighting must be provided. Toilets must be provided in the direct vicinity of the workplace. The number of them depends on the number of persons employed. Local laws and regulations must be complied with. As a rule of thumb toilet facilities should be provided at least in the ratio of one toilet to twenty employees. This is unless local regulations require a higher number. In the boiler house sufficient toilets have to be provided. The waste water quality must comply with the requirements of the dewatering system. The first aid facilities are part of the social facilities.

5.5 Pest control

A pest control plan must be established if necessary in close cooperation with the client. Subcontractors must not use any materials or companies without MHPSE's permission. Checks are necessary here.

6 Occupational safety

6.1 General

This section sets out the minimum requirements for safe working on site. Should local laws or regulations deviate from this the more stringent regulation must be applied.

6.1.1 Collective protective measures

The use of collective protective measures must be preferred to the use of individual protective equipment. The following order will basically apply when selecting protective measures: T Technical solutions first O Organizational measures are in second place P Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used when technical or organizational measures

cannot be used. Basically the unrestricted obligation to wear PPE applies on site (see Sec. 6.6.1).



Work areas that constitute an obstacle or danger for third parties have to be made safe by the relevant subcontractor. These areas must, for example, be blocked off for a sufficient distance and marked by warning notices. The use of danger tape is not allowed for barricading purposes. In particular erection work in height must be firmly blocked off to a sufficient distance and marked with warning notices. Lifting loads above traffic routes and the working areas of other subcontractors is not allowed. Such areas must be blocked off for a short time and unblocked again immediately after work is done. For the duration of their work in danger working areas the respective subcontractors must provide suitable protective devices, such as side protection, covers or barriers. These protective devices have to be checked continually and if necessary repaired. In addition this protective device must be kept in place beyond the period of the particular work so that it can also be used by others. Endangered areas must basically be firmly blocked, marked and lightened. Before for example removing openings or side protection stable barriers must be set up at a sufficient distance. These barriers must only be removed after the work has been completed. Suitable measures against falling must be taken before removing protective devices. Openings ≥ 0,3 m are to cover so that the cover is stable enough and cannot be removed. The other way is to protect with side protection. Protective measures must only be removed with the agreement of MHPSE!! Under certain circumstances protective equipment will be provided by MHPSE. Any costs incurred will be borne by the relevant subcontractor.

6.1.2 Housekeeping

Housekeeping on site is necessary, so that safe work can be accomplished. Each subcontractor is responsible for housekeeping in its work area. If several subcontractors work in an area and the housekeeping is not sufficient in this area MHPSE will assign a third party to do the housekeeping. The costs will be split and given on the subcontractors. Working areas, passages, stairs and all other areas must be kept free of rubbish, equipment and materials. Storage areas must be clean and the materials stored there kept tidy and in a stable condition. The load-carrying capacity of the underground is to be considered. Screws and other small parts must be stored and transported in plastic/metal boxes or in non-tearable bags. Storing in cardboard boxes is forbidden. Waste containers have to be placed in accessible places on site and be used for the disposal of scrap material and other waste (see Sec. 7.4). Liquids and materials (e.g. paints, solvents, thinners, oils and grease) or containers that contain chemicals have to be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Transport routes must be kept free of cables and hoses. They must be fastened at a height of approximately 2 m, so that they are not an obstacle on the ground. Preferably S-shaped hooks should be used. Social rooms must be kept free of rubbish, packaging and hazardous substances. Left-over material that is no longer being used must be removed immediately from the work areas.

6.1.3 Storage areas and storing materials

The subcontractors' storage areas are marked. Each subcontractor is encouraged only to use the areas allocated to him, to deal with them economically and to keep them tidy at all times.



If subcontractors' materials or storage containers are not located within the allocated area they will be relocated by the MHPSE site management without prior warning at the subcontractors’ expense or removed from the site. The contractor shall bear any costs for this. Each subcontractor's storage area must thoroughly be fenced. A board with the name of the relevant subcontractor and name and telephone number of the responsible site manager must be fixed. Permission must be obtained from MHPSE before material can be stored anywhere else than in the allocated areas. Only sufficient material to cover the daily requirements must be brought in from the stores. Materials must be stored tidily and safe for tilt. Traffic routes and work areas must be kept free. The MHPSE site management must be informed immediately of any interference.

6.1.4 Storing gas bottles and combustible materials

This section deals with any portable gas bottles, LPG (propane, butane) containers, diesel containers, solvents and other combustible materials. All subcontractors are responsible for ensuring that their materials comply with the following principles: - Gas bottles and other gas-filled containers must be protected against mechanical, chemical and thermal

effects. - Substances that react with each other must be stored separately (For combustible and fire-promoting

gases a minimum distance by 2 m exists). - Combustible materials must be stored in adequate, ventilated metal containers that are labeled with

"Combustible materials". - Gas bottles must be stored upright and in a stable position (secured with a chain). If they are used

underground the bottles must be fitted with special gasket closures. It is forbidden to store gas bottles under ground level.

- “Hot-work activities” must not take place nearby combustible materials or fuels. - A suitable fire extinguisher must be kept nearby any area where combustible material or fuel is stored. - Any gas bottles, temporary equipment and containers of combustible or toxic materials must be labeled

with the owners’ name.

6.2 Site coordination

The client is normally responsible for the coordination of the whole site. In accordance with the site regulations the client will provide a SiGeKo, who creates and updates the SiGe-Plan.

6.3 Work permit system (PTW system)

The permit to work system is used to monitor specific work that is considered potentially dangerous. In addition close cooperation between the site management and the employees carrying out the work on site must be guaranteed. This applies to each subcontractor. Work permits are only issued if a risk analysis has been carried out before work starts (see Sec. 4.3.4). The client in cooperation with MHPSE will determine what type of work requires a work permit before start of work on site. Normally work permits are required for the following work: Erection phase - Excavation work - Hot work - Working in confined spaces, also boiler stanchions - X-ray work - Working in height - Pressure tests - Openings - Working with access equipment

Commissioning The following general work requires a PTW: - Cold commissioning (without operating material)



- Hot commissioning (with operating materials and plant parts that are prepared for operation) - Optimizing the plant parts/test run of the plant parts - Test run of the plant - Approval test (testing the guaranteed quantities)

A complete list of work that requires a permit will be published by the site regulation or created by MHPSE. Work permits are only valid for the specific work in a specific place for the specified people carrying out the work. Work permits must be kept in the place the work is being done and showed on request. After the work has been completed the work permit must be handed back to the subcontractors’ responsible person. The misuse of the work permit system will entail disciplinary measures and could lead to the reference of site.

6.4 Traffic

6.4.1 Entrances and exits

Entrances and exits are normally monitored by an external security service which is engaged by the client.

6.4.2 Access control

The companies' employees must be registered in writing by MHPSE two weeks before starting work at the site. Following a safety-related site instruction (initial instruction) a personal site pass will be issued. The supply of materials must be notified to the MHPSE site manager at least 24 hours in advance in writing. Private cars may not access the site and must be parked outside. All subcontractors' vehicles must have the name of the relevant company, telephone number and name of the related person on them. The access permit must be fixed in the vehicle so that it is visible. Material and equipment carried on trucks must be secured in accordance with the regulations. Material, such as earth, sand, waste etc. must be covered before leaving the site. Overcoming material must be indicated by a red flag. Motorized machines must not be left unattended during operation. At interruption and end of work the machine has to be turned off and the ignition key has to be removed. The dimensions of the access routes to the MHPSE work area or the particular work area must be sufficient to ensure that there is no hindrance by or to other vehicles. If possible crossings must be created. The maneuvering and reversing of trucks and vehicles with trailers must be possible without any risk. Reversing must be avoided as far as possible. In principle a suitable flagman or spotter must therefore be used. Traffic routes must be marked. All access ways must be kept in good condition. Traffic routes must not be blocked by waste, materials, cable runs or other obstacles. Special attention must be paid to the suitable routing of power cables. A special attention has to be paid on appropriate routing of electric cables. Driving over unprotected cables is not permitted. Trenches, shafts and holes in the ground must be covered in accordance with the regulations with a solid cover that cannot be moved or they must be blocked with a sufficient distance between them and the cordon. Edges on traffic routes on the site, on roofs, in the building or on working platforms must be provided with side protection or blocked. Working areas and traffic routes in the subcontractors' own work areas must be lighten and checked regularly. Formation of dust must be kept to a minimum. In order to prevent formation of dust roads and paths in our construction section must be sprinkled with water if necessary. Dry sweeping is not permitted. If necessary the surfaces must be wet or hovering devices must be used. If possible rain water should be used. Flooding by rain water must be avoided.



6.4.3 Traffic routes, site traffic

Access roads and internal roads must be protected from damage. Any dirt must be removed immediately. Any environmental-related contamination has to be notified to MHPSE. Traffic on the site roads must not be obstructed or endangered by temporarily stored materials and construction equipment. MHPSE must be notified immediately of any traffic influencing measures (e.g. construction work in road areas such as duct work, setting up platforms for platform for lifting persons, cranes, scaffolding) in order to ensure the public safety.

6.4.4 Special transports

For the special transportation of bulky or heavy goods the subcontractor must inform the client in advance about the road conditions and take all necessary safety precautions. In particular care must be taken with narrow areas, transit heights, superstructures (e.g. pipe bridges), control and electrical cables etc. Accompanying personnel must be requested in advance from MHPSE in order to manage and secure special transports (e.g. site security).

6.4.5 Traffic regulations

On site and in the external car parks special company regulations apply to all road users. In particular all vehicles and machines must be in a safe operational condition at any times. The maximum speed is 20 km/h unless there are any regulations to the contrary. Rail vehicles in principle have right of way. Rail junctions have no special marking. The rail service manager must be informed of any restriction to the normal clearance on the rails.

6.4.6 Driving and parking vehicles

Access to site or to a defined place must only be made via the traffic routes provided for this. Vehicles must only be parked where they do not hinder or block the flow of traffic, the rail tracks, the fire department, fire extinguishing equipment (e.g. hydrants), emergency exits, entrances or exits.

6.4.7 Working in track area

Work on the track area can only be carried out after consultation with the client and the approval of the rail service manager. A sufficient safety distance from the outer edge of the rail must be observed if it is necessary to stop and park near the tracks. The structure gauge of the tracks must be kept clear at all times. The subcontractors have to inform his staff of any special dangers in the track areas including any associated precautions.

6.5 Temporary equipment

Temporary equipment is equipment that will be removed during or after the construction phase.

6.5.1 Heating and ventilation

The same regulations regarding climatic conditions apply to temporary as they do to standard equipment.

6.5.2 Drinking water supply

The same regulations regarding drinking water supply apply to temporary as they do to standard equipment.

6.6 PPE standard

6.6.1 Protective equipment

Personal protective equipment must comply with the requirements of European Directive 89/686/EEC.



Personal protective equipment must have the CE mark and be in a good condition. Personal protective equipment, basic equipment: - Safety helmet/hard hat (consider helmet marking obligation!). - Suitable eye protection - Work gloves - Protective footwear with mid-sole and toe protection - High visibility clothing - Long sleeved and long pants protective clothing

The PPE catalog for MHPSE staff is specified in chapter 8.2, VO-306-008-02. The need to wear other personal protective equipment for specific work (for example noise protection, skin protection, respiratory protection) arises from the relevant subcontractors’ risk assessment. One or two-piece work dress must be worn by operative workers of the subcontractors. Suitable full protection face masks must be worn for grinding and cutting work. Ear protection is to be offered from 80 dB(A), from 85 dB(A) ear protection is required. The subcontractor will provide the necessary personal protective equipment for his employees and will check that the equipment is used and maintained correctly. In special cases MHPSE can provide the necessary personal protective equipment. Any arising expenses will be debited to the respective subcontractor Persons, who work besides moving machines, carry tight fitting work clothes, which cannot get caught in the moving parts of the machine. Clothing splattered with oil, paint, thinners, solvents etc. should no longer be worn. It must be removed from the skin immediately and then changed.

6.6.2 Safety harness

As a general rule the use of safety harness is only permitted as an exceptional case and only for a short period of time. A suitable technical measure has priority. The required attachment points have to be specified by the supervisor. Staff must be suitable and trained in the use of safety harness. During the work a constant supervision of the working staff is necessary. Safety harness with: - Restraint systems - Catching systems - Rescue systems

They must comply with EN 795. The Safety harnesses have to be inspected periodical by a qualified person. This inspection is to be documented (inspection tag and inspection document). Damaged safety harnesses are to withdraw from further use.

6.7 Working in confined spaces

The definition of the term "confined space" used in this context is characterized by several characteristics: - Access to confined spaces is often only possible using special equipment or - a lack of oxygen or - an accumulation of harmful or explosive gases or - the temperature is higher or lower than under normal circumstances or - in some circumstances deposits of hazardous substances can be found in the "confined area" or - storage tanks, silos, reaction vessels, pipes, drainage pipes etc. or - unventilated spaces, depending on the circumstances of the current work or - boiler stanchions, see Sec. 5.7.1.

Isolating transformer or safety extra low voltage must be used for electrical work in confined spaces.



All confined spaces must be clearly marked so that they will not be entered by unauthorized personnel. Working in confined spaces is associated with special risks for any member of staff. One week before starting work the subcontractors have to submit the risk assessment/work instructions in order to receive the appropriate work permit. Possible risk factors are for example asphyxiation by toxic gases, fumes or lack of oxygen, sediments, slippery or bulky material, various internals, risk of explosion, electrical voltages, radiation, cleaning agents etc. The work permit is only valid for the duration of one work shift and must be renewed by the shift supervisors. The permit must be attached beside the entrance to the room together with a list of workers employed there. A rescue concept referred in the concrete case is to be provided before start of the work and rescue equipment is necessary. Before work starts and during the work the atmosphere in "confined spaces" may be checked for oxygen content and any poisonous gases. If someone gets access to a confined space, a safeguard post must be stationed at the entrance to the danger area. The subcontractor must ensure that communication between the persons is possible at any time. The safeguard post may not do other activities which could divert its attention from person concerned. All employees are to be instructed for the activity in „ confined spaces “comprehensively. In addition regular rescue practice is to be accomplished.

6.7.1 Boiler stanchion, boiler, DENOX

Working alone in a boiler stanchion, in the boiler or DENOX is generally forbidden. Isolating transformer or safety extra low voltage must be used for electrical work. The work permit “access permit” is to be used. A clearance measurement normally is not required if it is ensured that no accumulation of harmful substances can take place. A safety harness must be worn. Safety/evacuation equipment is to be reproached and used in the case of an emergency. The rescue of a casualty must be at any time possible.

6.8 Hot work operations

All subcontractors will provide adequate fire protection precautions. Fire protection has to be regulated comprehensively in the subcontractors' HSE plans. Each subcontractor will keep his own fire extinguishing equipment in his site facilities and in his work areas in accordance with local regulations. The clients’ or MHPSEs’ fire extinguishing equipment must only be used in an emergency. Emergency telephones must be available on site. All fire extinguishers must be checked regularly and labeled in accordance with local regulations. The position of fire extinguishing equipment has to be marked by signs. Staff must be trained in handling of fire extinguishers and other extinguishing equipment by the respective subcontractors on the site. Alarms must be tested at regular intervals. If necessary a fireguard will be specified in the work permit. For hot work operations with a low risk of fire the executor can be specified as the fireguard. Fireguards have to be trained especially. The fireguard will remains on the location permanently. After completing hot work operation or after the fire has been extinguished he will remain at his post for the time specified in the work permit. Traffic, rescue, escape routes and emergency exits are to be kept free at all time. Highly flammable materials may only be stored in small quantities.



Places where combustible gases or materials are used or stored must be labeled appropriately and suitable fire extinguishers have to be available. Combustible materials or gases must be stored separately. If this is not possible a sufficient distance (min. 2 m) between the materials has to be maintained. The storage area must be ventilated continuously. For all hot work operations, such as welding, flame cutting, grinding, casting, steel ball blasting etc. procedures for preventing fire or explosions must be in place. The following safety rules apply: - Employees must have a valid permit to work (PTW) before carrying out the work. - If by the type of workplace required welding blankets must be used to prevent the risk of fire by spraying

sparks. - An approved fire extinguisher must be available in the activity area. - Gas and oxygen hoses must be in a good condition and be checked for defects before use. - Gas and oxygen bottles may only be present at the workplace if they are required for the activities

carried out. - Gas and oxygen bottles must be set up in a way that they are protected against falling, e.g. by a chain

and cannot be hit by falling objects. They always have to be reachable and be removed quickly and easily in the event of a fire.

- Acetylene and propane gas bottles must be equipped with a flashback arrest. - After finishing work or his shift the executor has to check his workplace on possible fire risks. The gas

bottles have to be turned off. Hoses and burners have to be made pressureless. Turn off the spindles of the pressure reducing equipment and turn electrical welding equipment off.

See hot work operations

6.9 Cleaning closed systems

Before insertion the cleaning processes (e.g. purging, pickling, blowing out) are specified by MHPSE. Only chemicals, which are registered according to REACH are to be used (see also Sec. 6.21). In addition, the removal of purging water and waste water that occurs during pickling must be treated in accordance with specifications of MHPSE.

6.9.1 Pickling

Pickling is a chemical surface cleaning process before commissioning. It removes residues and enables a controlled buildup of a protective layer. Typical pickling procedure steps for example are: - pre-purging with deionized water - purging with a surface-active medium - purging with deionized water - heating of the system - dynamic acid treatment - replacing the acid and purging - alkaline treatment and passivation

Apart from hydrofluoric acid other substances such as hydrochloric acid are also used. Depending on the type of process, the required additional temporary installations have to be planned. Liquid chemicals are normally supplied in 1,000 l IBC’s. The ground should be flat and have a sufficient load-bearing capacity. Due to the endangerment, an alarm plan is to be developed in previous. This alarm plan is to be mediated to the executers, the first aiders and the paramedics at the place of location. The necessary basin for pickling waste water is to be marked out with a fence. The basin for pickling waste water is to provide with exit assistance (ladder, rope) as well as with min. 2 life belts.

6.9.2 Blowing out

Blowing out is a method of removing foreign objects from the plant component. It is used to protect turbines which react very sensitively to foreign objects. The steam is fed at high pressure through the pipe system and associated parts. As a rule the area around the steam boiler or the complete boiler house and areas in front of the connection openings must be considered at risky and be blocked. Safety measures must be kept in place until cooling is complete. Mufflers should be considered. In general a sound pressure of more than 120



dB (A) is possible. Hot steam may precipitate as mist in the environment. Clouds may be colored with paint residue or corrosion protection. The client is to be informed by MHPSE.

6.10 Civil engineering and excavation work

6.10.1 Excavation work

Excavation work is covered by the sites’ work permit system. Infrastructure documentation for underground installations such as cables, pipes etc. must be available on the site. In addition the exact position and condition of these cables have to be checked precisely in advance. Also, in consultation with MHPSE and the client, hazardous substance registers and a test for explosive ordnance has to be evaluated. If there is a suspicion on hazardous substances or explosives measures have to be defined to ensure that nobody comes into contact with them. Excavations and trenches must be secured by side protection or be blocked off. Performing earthworks in the vicinity of underground systems as well as digging exploration trenches should be done manually. If the trench reaches a depth of more than 1 m from the ground level the walls have to be sloped and an entrance into the trench has to be built. The distance between different trench entrances should not exceed 20 m. The access of the trench then is only allowed by using the entrance. At sloped trenches check the condition of the trench lining after rain, frost or after a long break from work. When building a trench with vertical walls and a depth of more than 1 m, it is required to protect the employees with e.g. a prefabricated enclosure. On the top edge a protective strip of at least 0.6 m has to be built and be kept free of excavated material as well as of not used material. If the trench is no deeper than 0.8 m the protective strip only has to be on one side. If the earthworks are performed with mechanical equipment, the working area is to be determined and properly marked. At sloped trenches an excavator at least has to keep the following distances from the trench: - up to 12.0 t overall mass a minimum of 1.0 m - from 12.0 t to 40.0 t overall mass a minimum of 2.0 m

6.10.2 Drilling and pile driving work

Drilling and pile driving is covered by the site's work permit system. Infrastructure documentation for underground installations such as cables, pipes etc. must be available on the site. In addition the exact position and condition of these cables have to be checked precisely in advance. Also, in consultation with MHPSE and the client, hazardous substance registers and a test for explosive ordnance has to be evaluated. If there is a suspicion on hazardous substances or explosives measures have to be defined to ensure that nobody comes into contact with them. The position and impact of ground water, surface water courses etc. must be taken into consideration in order to avoid accidents and contamination. Noise arising from the work has to be kept to a minimum. All materials, especially reinforcing steel, must be stored in a safe way to avoid injuries.



6.11 Electrical work

6.11.1 Electrical equipment

Mobile electrical equipment must be regularly checked by an electrician to ensure that it will be in a good condition. For the inspection intervals an approximate value of three months is valid. The subcontractor is responsible for setting the inspection intervals. The intervals have to be reduced where there are high operational demands. 1 year is set as an approximate value for the inspection interval for stationary electrical installations and equipment. If the checked equipment has been assessed as flawless and has a label to this effect the test certificate shall be deemed as passed. The test logs must be kept on the site and if necessary shown to MHPSE. The user has to visually check all mobile electrical equipment and, in principle, all tools before use to see whether there is any detectable damage or defect. Electrical tools must be isolated and have a CE mark. After finishing work all electrical appliances and machines have to be switched off.

The electric power supply must only be installed by competent electrical specialists. It must be in accordance with the local regulations. The use of electrical equipment may only take place under the protection of residual current circuit breaker. The condition of cables and electrical equipment always has to be flawless. Special measures are to be met, in order to protect electrical devices against mechanical damage as well as against humidity. The structure clearance of traffic routes principally is to be kept free from cables. Connections must be manufactured with suitable connecting devices, which cannot be inadvertently pulled out or separated. Inspection intervals given by the risk assessment, legislation or the manufacturer have to be observed. Inspection logs must be handed over MHPSE.

6.11.3 Lighting

Temporary lighting must only be installed by competent electrical specialists. In accordance with regulations the light sources have to be bright enough to make a safe working possible in dark building parts or in the darkness. Cables must be placed in a safe way so that they cannot be damaged. Tripping hazard must be avoided. Cables must not lie in the water and must generally be kept in a dry condition. They must be hung up at hooks in at least 2 m height so no one can trip or that the cable could be damaged by a vehicle. Traffic routes and superordinate areas normally are lit up by the client. Working areas as well as traffic routes in the own work area are to be lit up from the respective Subcontractor.

6.12 Noise protection and reduction

Measures: - Exceeding the lower trigger values of 80 dB(A):

Instruct staff

Provide ear protection - Exceeding the upper trigger values of 85 dB (A):

Here the same conditions apply as in MHPSEs’ or the subcontractors' offices (e.g. fire extinguisher, testing of electrical appliances and equipment, fire loads etc.)

6.15 Cranes and crane operation

Before starting crane work on the site each subcontractor has to submit an installation plan for his cranes showing the size, installation site and turning radius as well as a PTW for crane operations. Cranes may only be installed after this plan has been approved and the permit to work has been given. Before a crane can get into use all the forms regarding the qualification and suitability of the crane driver and the crane as well as the lifting equipment has to be provided. The various cranes are coordinated by the clients’ or MHPSEs’ crane coordinator. The relevant subcontractor must provide his own crane coordinator for his own work if more than one crane is used or complex lifting procedures are being carried out. Before start of work a rule of priority for the cranes must be provided and be agreed upon with all involved parties. If there is more than one crane on the site they must be given specified numbers. In addition communication between the individual cranes has to be possible, e.g. by radio. The respective frequency will be notified by the client or MHPSE. The crane drivers must be able to communicate with each other in a language in which all of them are proficient. The crane drivers have to be trained for their job in accordance with local legislation and must be able to prove this with certificates. They must have been instructed and have been assigned in writing by the respective subcontractor. All cranes must comply with the requirements of local regulations. Appropriate proofs of the inspection intervals as well as of the installation and function tests have to be kept on site. It must be possible to examine the inspection logs on the site. After each crane is set up a copy of the relevant crane log must be submitted to MHPSE or the client. Ride on loads and standing under floating loads is strictly forbidden The lifting equipment has to be in good condition and labeled with the main characteristics. The lifting equipment must be checked every working day to ensure it is in perfect condition. In addition the lifting tool has to be inspected depending on the conditions of use but at least annually by a qualified person. The test logs have to be kept on the site and if necessary shown to MHPSE. Damaged chains or hooks must be removed from the site immediately. The hook lock must be functional at all times. Cables must be checked for broken wires, kinks, crushing and breaks. Only proper lifting tools can be used. If necessary spreaders and/or edge guard must be used in order to protect the chain hoist or the load from damage. For extensive hoisting operations a detailed lifting plan must be agreed in advance with MHPSE and the client. For work with cranes in a distance from less than 10 m to each other the approval of the construction supervision of the client is to be obtained in advance.



Lifting work may be carried out up to wind force 6. Beyond that the crane operator is responsible to stop crane work as a result of weather conditions. Down times will be documented.

6.17 Shutting down

When shutting down installations, equipment and their parts safety measures must be taken. These should prevent the machine being turned on again accidentally. This for example means: put padlocks on main switches, lockable control boxes, insert locking discs.

6.18 High working areas

6.18.1 Scaffolds

All materials for scaffolds and the requirements for the qualification of the scaffold erector and his workers have to comply with the requirements of local regulations. The scaffold erector is responsible for erecting and dismantling the scaffold safely. The user of the scaffold is responsible for preserving and using the scaffold safely. Scaffolds must only be erected by professional suitable persons. The work has to be supervised by a suitably qualified, authorized person on site. If personal protective equipment to prevent falling (safety harness) is used additional training/exercises are required. A plan for erecting, modifying and dismantling the scaffolding (assembly instructions) must be compiled based on the scaffold manufacturers’ instructions for erection and use. This has to be done by the responsible scaffold erector or an authorized, specified person. This plan must be available to the supervisor. The workers have to be instructed about this. The responsible subcontractor for erecting scaffolds has to inspect the scaffold after assembly by an authorized person based on a plan for the erection, modifying and dismantling the scaffolding (assembly instructions) and the instructions for erection and use. The responsible subcontractor who uses the scaffold must inspect the scaffold for operational safety before using it for the first time by an authorized person to ensure that it is fit for the duty. Scaffolds are to be registered at the MHPSE scaffold coordinator before erecting. The MHPSE scaffold coordinator keeps a scaffold logbook with the following data: - Location - Date of erection - Date of delivery - Inspection date (normally weekly) - Date of dismantling - Scaffold number

The scaffolding logbook should be recorded in electronic form (see Sec. 8.2, VO-306-004-01). The scaffold erectors’ system should be used as a basis for the electronic system. The data should be updated once a week between the scaffold erectors’ and the MHPSE version. Basic elements of safe scaffolds are: stability, rigidity, anchoring, 3 part side protection, if necessary fall protection on the inside using internal side protection or panels, as far as possible full-boarded covering, corner protection, accessibility, if applicable providing protective scaffolding, If required protection against falling parts. The scaffolds have to be approved and labeled (Scafftag) by the scaffold erector. The assumption for use is to be confirmed by the scaffold user on the scafftag in writing. Unfinished areas have to be blocked off. Unlabeled scaffolds must not be used.

6.18.2 Use of Ladders

Basically the principle "stairs before ladders" applies. The use of ladders must be kept to a minimum. Ladders may only be used for a short time to bridge the gap between small differences in height.



Ladders may not be used as a place of work. Before each use it must be checked whether a ladder is the best and safest way to access working area or temporary place of work. In some cases, for example, mobile scaffolds may be a better solution. All ladders have to be kept in good condition. The rungs must be securely attached. Damaged ladders must be removed immediately and repaired or replaced. All ladders must be inspected by authorized personal at regular intervals. The written inspection log has to be kept on the site. Ladders have to be positioned safe and be secured against slipping. The correct clearance angle of the ladder and the correct position of the worker must be checked regularly. The ladder must protrude at least one meter above the point where the worker gets off. Metal ladders must not be used for electrical work. Ladders out of use have to be removed. Ladders may be no more than seven meters high and only used with foot extenders. Pickling or hot liquids must not be used or transported on ladders.

6.18.3 Fall protection system

Side protection - barriers Fall protection by side protection or barriers is for example required at: - workplaces at or above water level or other solid or liquid substances in which people could sink

regardless of the vertical drop - traffic routes at or above water or other solid or liquid substances in which people could sink regardless

of the vertical drop - exposed stairways and landings, wall openings and on control platforms for machines and their

accesses with a vertical drop of more than 1.00 m - work places and traffic routes on roofs with a vertical drop of more than 3.00 m - all other work places and traffic routes with a vertical drop of more than 2.00 m - masonry work and work at windows with a vertical drop of more than 5.00 m

Side protection dimensions Guard rails and middle rails must be secured in a way they cannot accidentally be removed. The toe boards must not tip. Without static proof the following may be used as guard rails and middle rails: - with a post spacing of up to 2.00 m boards with a minimum section of 15 x 3 cm - with a post spacing of up to 3.00 m boards with a minimum section of 20 x 4 cm or Ø 48.3 x 3.2 mm

steel pipes or Ø 48.3 x 4 mm aluminium pipes. Toe boards must extend beyond the deck for at least 15 cm. Minimum thickness 3 cm.

Fall guards Side protection on the edge can be dispensed with on work places and traffic routes on surfaces with an incline of no more than 20 degrees if a fixed barrier is installed at least 2.00 m from the edge, e.g. handrails, chains, ropes but not barrier tape. Side protection or barriers can only be dispensed if they are not possible for technical reasons, e.g. working on the edge and instead catching devices (safety scaffold/roof safety scaffold/catching nets/protective walls) are available. Rope guards may only be used if catching devices are inappropriate. The supervisor must specify the stop mechanisms and ensure that safety harnesses are in use.

6.19 Radiography tests

Radiography tests basically require a permit to work. The work is coordinated by the SiGeKo/Permit Manager. All official regulations that govern the use, storage and handling of a radiation source must be complied with. Dealing with radioactive materials is basically only permitted if corresponding handling permits are available in the subcontractors’ name and a copy of the notice has been submitted to the radiation protection officer the site. Only officially recognized specialists are allowed to directly deal with radioactive materials.



Subcontractors that work with radioactive materials must notify the client in writing of the time and the localization and the subcontractor’s radiation protection officer at least one working day before start of work. Before carrying out radiography tests on welded seams in particular the responsible radiation protection officer must check whether safety-related EMR measuring equipment in the vicinity of the test location can be affected. Places where a radioactive radiation source is used must be properly indicated and secured. Site-specific regulations must be observed. Material tests with X-rays or gamma rays must be carried out either outside normal working hours or, if possible, in special areas to which unauthorized personal does not have access. A precise procedure description with a risk analysis must be compiled by the subcontractor carrying out the work which designates the work procedures, the used equipment and the safety zones and special protective measures in place. This document has to be submitted to the responsible authorities. One week before work starts the proposal and the documents must be handed over to MHPSE. Storage of radioactive materials on the site is forbidden. This permission to carry out the aforementioned work does not replace the pre-requisites that need legal approval under the terms of the X-ray and radiation protection regulations.

6.20 Fire and explosion prevention

Subcontractors are responsible for checking whether sufficient precautionary measures have been taken to prevent fire in their relevant work areas. The fire prevention topic is dealt with in detail in the subcontractors' HSE plans. In compliance with local legislation each subcontractor must provide his own fire extinguishing equipment in his storage and work areas. The clients’ or MHPSEs’ fire extinguishing equipment must only be used in an emergency. All fire extinguishers must be checked regularly and labeled in accordance with the requirements of local legislation. The location of the fire extinguishing equipment must be marked by signs. Staff must be trained in handling of fire extinguishers and other extinguishing equipment by the respective subcontractors on the site. A work permit is mandatory for all hot-work-operations. If necessary a fireguard will be specified in the work permit. For hot work operations with a low risk of fire the executor can be specified as the fireguard. Fireguards have to be trained especially. The fireguard will remains on the location permanently. After completing hot work operation or after the fire has been extinguished he will remain at his post for the time specified in the work permit. Traffic, rescue, escape routes and emergency exits are to be kept free at all time. Highly flammable materials may only be stored in small quantities. Places where combustible gases or materials are used or stored must be labeled appropriately and suitable fire extinguishers have to be available. Combustible materials or gases must be stored separately. If this is not possible a sufficient distance (min. 2 m) between the materials has to be maintained. The storage area must be ventilated continuously. After a fire or another incident MHPSE may also carry out its own accident analysis. All of the subcontractors’ staff involved has to attend this analysis if the HSE managers on the site require it.

6.20.1 Fire protection and fire fighting

The contractor is responsible for complying with all fire protection-related laws and regulations and for complying with the fire protection regulations on site.



The local fire department must be called in with the requisite speed for any precautionary fire prevention or precautionary hazard prevention matters.

6.20.2 Fire drills

Fire drills should be accomplished at least twice a year.

6.20.3 Fire prevention measures

- Set up fire protection plan (with fire extinguishing equipment locations). - Block off danger areas, look out for ignition sources, when indicated appoint a fire guard. - Always store combustible materials separately from gas bottles or pressure tanks. - Store combustible and oxidizing gases separately. - Extinguishing agents: sand, water, fire blanket, fire extinguisher (portable). - Use only suitable fire extinguishers. - Put fire extinguishers in a highly visible, easily accessible place. Have them inspected and serviced

regularly. - Attach instruction for use on fire extinguishing equipment. - Train staff in how to handle fire extinguishers. If necessary carry out fire drills on large sites. - Fire extinguishers must be checked every two years by an expert inspection to ensure that they are

working all the time.

6.20.4 Firefighting equipment

Work places must be equipped with fire extinguishers in accordance with the local specifications. Fire extinguishers must be procured, operated and checked in accordance with the local specifications and also the generally recognized rules of engineering. Deviations are permitted if the same level of safety is guaranteed in another way.

6.20.5 Reporting chain

Each fire and each explosion has to be reported immediately by the clients’ reporting chain for the site (e.g. the local fire department) giving exact details of the location. The available firefighting equipment has to be used and the traffic routes have to be kept clear to the best ability until the fire department arrives. The alarm plan has to be announced.

6.21 Hazardous substances

6.21.1 Harmful substances

The construction industry uses a wide range of materials like as cement, paints, cleaning materials and adhesives. Some of these substances may have harmful effects on health and the environment. However, if they are handled carefully, mindful of possible risks, the risk of damage can be kept to a minimum. Special training must be given to all people who use such substances and the work procedure must be checked particularly careful. All subcontractors are required to check in advance whether substances that are delivered to the site are potentially harmful to health or the environment. Hazardous substances and their amount have to be listed mentioning the possible risks (in terms of storing, using, spilling, releasing, waste products etc.). The relevant safety data sheets must be enclosed. The list is to be handed over to MHPSE before start of work with the associated safety data sheets and operating instructions. Only hazardous substances that are recorded in the REACH regulations (EC no. 1907/2006) may be used. Any hazardous substance must clearly be marked with at least the following information: Name of the substance, hazard symbol, hazard description and recommended safety measures, manufacturer or supplier. In addition, subcontractors must definitely ensure that staff and other people only have the lowest possible contact with hazardous substances, whether by inhaling, swallowing, touching etc. Hazardous substances



must be replaced by less hazardous substances if possible. If this is not possible they should be isolated by restricting the number of staff that comes into contact with them. In general careful handling and continuous checks by supervisors are mandatory. Above all normal hygiene regulations at work must be observed too, such as not eating, drinking or smoking, avoiding contact with the skin, storing contaminated clothes separately and in general taking particular care when handling, perform skin protection etc. A catchment tank must be used for liquids. Subcontractors are responsible for notifying MHPSE immediately of any spills of chemicals, oils, fuels, solvents, acids, pickling substances etc. In an emergency (fire, environmental damage) the internal emergency number must be called immediately (xxxxxxxxx).

6.21.1.1 Asbestos

During the redevelopment of old neglected deposits (e.g. a building demolition) of unknown quantity size and quantity the protective clothing/chemical protective clothing of the appropriate category has to be selected by a risk assessment in advance.

6.21.2 Storage of hazardous materials

The relevant technical rules are to be considered, like stack height, stock pile condition, etc. A temporary storage of wastes without use of container systems (e.g. on unfortified open area) is to be coordinated with MHPSE. The storage areas are to be secured. Impurities of the ground, the surrounding ground as well as drains are to be excluded. The storage area is to be specified by the Subcontractor together with MHPSE.

6.21.3 Explosive substances

All relevant regulations and the clients’ special instructions have to be observed for the storage of combustible and explosive substances of any kind and gas bottles. Storage locations outside the sites must be specified by the subcontractor. A warning notice "attention gas bottles" must be attached to the entrances of workshops and other closed rooms. In addition, next to the doors a notice with the ground plan of the building or the area and the specified locations of the gas bottles must be attached. Gas bottles must only be transported with the respective cap. Bottles must be secured during transport and storage.

7 Environmental protection

7.1 General provisions for environmental protection

The contractor must obey the relevant environmental protection laws and regulations (e.g. Federal Immission Protection Act, Waste Act, Federal Water Act). Special requirements must be recorded in writing or ascertained from environmental protection officers by the clients’ authorized agent. The rules on the companies’ emergency and hazard plan or comparable documentation must be obeyed. The client must be informed of any work that could have an effect on the environment. Particular attention should be paid to the following issues: - handling environmental relevant materials - air emissions - discharge in waters, waste water - ground and water protection - soil pollution - waste management - utilization/consumption of energies, raw materials and naturals resources - release of energy e.g. in the form of heat - release of noise (on site) - release of odors - release of vibrations



- start up and close down operations - consideration on disturbance - consideration on emergencies (emergency stop)

Precautions must be taken to prevent environmental pollution (e.g. air, noise, water, earth). MHPSE must be informed of any unforeseen events which affect the environment. All parties concerned must keep the effects on the environment as small as possible, by using environmentally compatible work methods, substances and mechanisms. - noise pollution is to be held to a minimum level - dust pollution is to be held to a minimum level - an increase of the traffic volume is to keep small by an extensive logistic advance planning - arising of wastes is to be kept as small as possible a strict waste separation will be done - contamination is to be avoided, the original state after a contamination is to redress - spacious effects (e.g. air pollution) is to be avoided

MHPSE will inform the client immediately. In case of an environmental pollution the correct preventive measures are to be taken for the solution of the problem, if necessarily with the help of a specialized company.

7.2 Public safety and environmental protection

If there is a risk of danger to the public by falling parts, transport procedures, pollution or risk of tripping etc. this area must be secured. In addition, MHPSEs’ site manager has to be informed immediately.

7.3 Protecting local vegetation

If there is the risk that local vegetation could be affected by work processes, MHPSEs’ permission must be obtained in good time before start of work. Each subcontractor will inform MHPSE in advance of environmental protection requirements for soil, body of water, vegetation, animals etc.

7.4 Disposing of, storing and recycling waste

The subcontractor must compile a disposal and recycling plan for the removal of waste. MHPSE has XXXX as a contractual partner for waste disposal. As much waste as possible should be sent for recycling. Thus, for example, waste wood and paper and cardboard should be sent to the paper industry, mineral waste prepared for road building, mixed waste further treated by XXXX and residual combustible substances used to burn waste. Waste must be separated accordingly. The containers are to be marked after the kind of materials which can be disposed of. The subcontractor has to inform at MHPSE about the existing waste management system on the site. The disposal of wastes, whose owner the subcontractor is, behooves to the subcontractor if nothing else is agreed by contract. The normal disposal is to be proven MHPSE and the client. The appropriate proofs (disposal proofs, release notes etc.) are to be submitted MHPSE and the client on request. The client and MHPSE reserve the right to control the wastes of the subcontractor before leaving the site. Resulting wastes, which are disposed of by the client, are to be treated according to clients’ requirements. To the subcontractor it is forbidden to take wastes of the client. Illegal depositing of wastes on site will be punished. The responsible person bears the cost of the removal.

7.5 Waste with a risk potential

Storing of flammable waste, oily rag and flammable materials is permitted only in the provided equipment and after consultation with MHPSE. These waste containers are to be marked accordingly.



7.6 Prevention of water pollution

If there is the risk that local body of water or groundwater could be affected by work processes MHPSEs’ permission has to be obtained in good time before start of work. Process water must be treated in accordance with the contractual conditions, the local laws and Hitachis’ environmental guidelines. The waste water quality must comply with the requirements of the drainage system. Each subcontractor informs of environmental protection requirements for soil, water bodies, vegetation, animals etc. at MHPSE in advance.

7.7 Sewers

Dumping substances (e.g. solid waste, waste, solvents) in bodies of water or the sewerage system is strictly forbidden. Site-specific regulations must be observed.

7.8 Refuel from site vehicles

For refueling site vehicles the regulations of the site are to be considered. When refueling vehicles, make sure that no fuel gets into the soil, sewerage system or bodies of water. Filling stations for own consumption and containers of combustible liquids must be approved by MHPSE and set up, secured and labeled according to the valid regulations.

7.9 Soil protection

If there is the risk that soil could be affected by work processes, MHPSEs’ permission must be obtained in good time before work starts. All storage facilities and containers must be built on a firm base, e.g. appropriate foundations. In accordance with local regulations liquids must be stored using a collecting tank that is designed for the quantity to be stored. Each subcontractor must provide material to neutralize and adsorb hazardous substances (also see Sec. 6.21.1).

7.10 Dust nuisance

The appropriate areas (e.g. roads) must be moistened to prevent dust nuisance.

7.11 Mineral dust

Before start of work it is to determine whether mineral dust will be set free by activities or procedures. The subcontractor can start activity after risk assessment is performed and the necessary preventive measures are met. Following issues are to be considered: 1. determination of the dust-loaded work areas or activities, 2. determination of material and activity-referred information, 3. risk assessment 4. definition of the preventive measures 5. verification of the effectiveness of the preventive measures 6. documentation

Suitable respiratory protection is to be made available by subcontractor.
