Heat Stress

Hot weather is here. Hot weather conditions may have an impact on our

ability to conduct our work safely. We need to be aware.

Take Food

Eat regular meals to replace electrolytes in your body.

Do not skip morning meals (breakfast).

Take Water

Drink plenty of cool water, even if not thirsty. Beverages

such as cola, iced tea and coffee should be avoided.

Take Rest

Take rest breaks in designated rest shelter.

Heat Stress Flags

Watch the heat stress flags and heat stress indicator.

Discuss during the TSTI how your team will manage the

hear before starting work.

If you feel unwell- seek immediate medical assistance.

Procedures are important but not sufficient

ISO14001:2004 has been developed to help

organizations to:

To achieve continual improvement of its

environmental

performance, and

Minimize harmful effects on the environment

caused by its activities.

Environment Management System

(EMS) ISO14001


13/54

ISO14001 requires companies to create a systemthat integrates environmental considerations intoevery level of the company

These goals will be accomplished by implementing:

Environmental Policy

Planning

Implementation and Operation

Checking and Corrective Action

To protect Flora & Fauna

To evaluate corrective actions

To minimize the production of waste and the

consumption of materials, fuels & energy.

To stay out of court (National & International)

To improve a company profile For the next generation

Why Environmental Monitoring?


17/54

Air Quality & Dust1. Direct Impact on Health & Security

2. Qualitative Monitoring & Dust Sampling

3. Dust Control Measures include:

Reducing Speed of Equipment on Site Use of WaterSprinkling to Keep Roads Damp

Environmental Monitoring & Control


18/54

Effects of Dust

Reduced Visibility

Eye irritation

Breathing Difficulties Skin Irritation



19/54


20/54

Keep road wet using watertrucks.

Reduce speed of vehicleson site.

Use of chemical stabilizersfor roads (e.g. calciumchloride, tar, etc.)

Work within enclosure (e.g. for abrasive

blasting)

How to Minimize Dust Emissions



21/54

Abrasive Blasting

Creation of fugitive dust

clouds

Minimization through working within

enclosure

High Concentration of

airborne particles

Selection of abrasive

agent very important



22/54

PPE - Protection from

Particulates

Dust masks are adequate in most

cases (e.g. dusty roads, windstorms)

In high particulate concentration

(e.g. abrasive blasting work in

enclosed area) you need to

wear Fresh air supply (Hood).



23/54

How Do we Monitor Dust? Qualitative Monitoring (visual)

Dust (PM10) Sampling

RLICCriteria:PM10 250 ppm

Main Dust Control Methodsused:

Reducing Speed of Equipment on Site

Use of WaterTrucks to Keep RoadsDamp

** Particulate Matter 10micron or less



24/54

Exhaust Emissions

Visual & Mechanical Inspections

Info on Fleet & Equipment from Subcontractors

Use of standardized conversion factors:Carbon Monoxide

Nitrous Oxides

Methane &

Others



25/54

Exhaust Emissions of Diesel Engines

Carbon Particles (soot)

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

Poly-Aromatic Hydrocarbons



26/54

PPE - Protection from Exhaust Emissions

Dust mask are sufficient to protect from

particulates (soot)

Will also be helpful with VOC as many volatileswill bind to particulate matters

For high concentrations of volatile, mask

equipped with cartridges for organic vapours are

required



27/54

Two factors determine how hazardous noise is:

Intensity (Loudness) measured in dBA

Time of Exposure measured in Hours and

Minutes

The louder the noise, the more hazardous it is. Also,

the longer the exposure time, the more hazardous

the noise is.

A Noise Dose combines both loudness and time

and is a convenient way of describing the relative

hazard of the noise.

Noise Basics & Monitoring



28/54


29/54

Auditory nerves can be permanently damaged fromprolonged exposure at 90 dB (e.g. heavy vehicle)

120 dB can cause pain and ringing in the ear (e.g.

riveting hammer) Sharp pain and extensive destruction of theauditory nerves occurs at 140 dB (e.g. jet enginewithin 30 m)

At 150- 160 dB massive destruction of the auditorynerves and persistent ringing in the ears will occurimmediately (e.g. 30-caliber shotgun blast next toear)

Noise Facts



30/54

A 5-decibel reduction can cut the risk of

hearing loss in half

P

rolonged exposure to loud environmentcuts down productivity, creates stress and

can lead to accidents

PPE:Wear EarProtection when noise

level is 85 dBA and above (ear plugs or

ear muffs)

This was especially emphasized at the startof project.

ESHIA (Environmental Social & Health

Impact Assessment) was done todetermine potential problem areas.

Relocation ofTop Soil for future use.

Reinstate all areas (laydowns etc) to theiroriginal state.

Flora, Fauna & Topsoil

endangered species e.g.

CHANCE FIND PLAN- 5887-ON-PL-HM-025

Antiquity- anything discovered, which has

been inherited from past civilizations and

generations and relates to art, science,literature, customs, beliefs, daily life, public or

other events and which dates back at least

forty years and is of artistic or historicalvalue.

Archeology


38/54

It has been determined that there is littlechance that there is anything at Ras Laffan

(RLIC) itself.

Should you come across something that is buried or

in the ground i.e. bones, ruins, gold, silver,diamonds, pearls, money etc

Chance Find


39/54

1. Mark the location.

2. DONOT touch or

move it.

3. Inform your

supervisor of whatyou found.

4. Call the HSSE

Department

immediately!

STOP!

There may be a reward!

WHAT IS WASTE?

Any material that is

unused and rejected

as worthless or

unwanted

Waste Management


41/54

Waste Management GoalsEnsure compliance with local regulations &

Project requirement

Minimize environmental impact of waste

generated through the project

Maximize reduction, reuse and recycling of

waste

Ensure environmentally sound disposal of all

waste.

Why Segregate Waste?1. Avoid mixing incompatible substances

2. Optimize reuse and recycling possibilities

3. Helps in ensuring adequate containmentis used

4. Ensure waste is transported and

disposed of in an environmentally

sensible way

Waste Management


45/54


46/54

Segregate all waste at source

Store in adequate containers

Send only to authorized dumps

Ensure waste records are kept

Ensure transporter has license to collect

wastes

Maximize on reuse and recycling

Remember the waste hierarchy

Non-centralized store of

fuel or lubricant oil

Store so they do not pose arisk to the environment

As a minimum use drip

trays to contain potentialleaks

Avoid overcrowding of trays X
