1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to promote the Health and Safety of Contractors and Nordisk Vindkraft employees by setting out the general requirements when working on Nordisk Vindkraft Generation sites including detailed requirements to avoid danger from specific hazards.

This document should be read carefully by all persons visiting operational sites and its receipt acknowledged in writing in connection with a specific Contract. No variation will be permitted without the express permission of the Nordisk Vindkraft.

This document should be read in conjunction with the Generation Health and Safety documentation held on site.

2.0 SCOPE

This procedure should be supplied to all Contractors tendering for any of the Company’s Contracts. A copy should be issued to the Safety Representative of each Contractor on a site, at the commencement of a project, and a written receipt obtained and filed by the Site Engineer. (Refer to Appendix 1).

It should be noted that this procedure and the References given below do not cover all possible site activities and it therefore remains the Contractors responsibility to ensure that their works are carried out in a safe manner which complies with legislation current at that time.

This procedure and the References given below relate to Generation activities carried out within Scandinavia. Contractors shall be responsible for complying with equivalent and relevant legislation in force within the country in which the project is to be carried out.
