Application rangeThis standard is valid on all site from HPE.This standard is valid for HPE staff and also for staff from subcontractors of HPE.2. IntroductionPreventing accidents and environmental damage are the basic aspects of HPE's HSE plan. Theaim of this programme is to define basic principles and procedures in the areas of safety, healthand environmental protection and make them available for all involved.Anyone working on the site is entitled to a safe working environment and suitable tools and equipmentwith which they can do their job without damage to their health, without risk to their life andwithout harming the environment.All managers on the site will plan and implement the working procedures so that employees aresubject to as little stress as possible. In addition, the management must provide a healthy, safeworking environment to ensure efficient operation."Safe working" must be considered essential by all involved. This is just as important as quality,cost and deadline requirements. Failure to comply with this requirement will not be tolerated.We take it for granted that all involved will adhere to our safety, health and environmental protectionrequirements as set out in their contracts.This HSE plan sets out the minimum standards that may have to be adapted to project-specificconditions. Should local laws or regulations deviate from this the more stringent regulation must beapplied.This HSE plan is a component part of contracts with subcontractors.2.1.

Delivery scheduleDetailed assembly schedules for the individual work steps have been worked out by HPE and therelevant subcontractors and kept at the site. The internal assembly schedules form the basis fordrawing up the risk assessments as well as assembly and work instructions by the site managerand the HSE staff.2.4. HSE strategyHPE's HSE strategy is set out in the basic HSE declaration, in which HPE's safety, health and environmentalprotection 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 HSEstrategy. The basic HSE declaration must be approved and signed and kept on the site.In its capacity as main contractor HPE has worked out the following strategic targets and a 10 pointprogramme.HPE's HSE strategy is supported by defined HSE standards that prescribe compliance with andimplementation of specific requirements and activities.HSE strategy All staff must understand the HSE strategy and be aware of it in terms of their responsibilities. Compliance with all HSE rules and regulations in force is mandatory. The safety and health of staff while the work is being carried out have priority. All subcontractors must adhere to the HSE plan while working on the site. The use of resources must be optimised. Materials and the environment must be protected from damage. A constant improvement of the HSE plan is to be aimed for.10 point programme for the effective implementation of the HSE strategy:1. The selection of competent managers and competent staff in order to ensure safe workingand compliance with the rules and regulations. A training programme for all staff will be devisedand implemented.2. This standard will serve as a basis for compiling a project-specific HSE plan.3. The instruction of staff on site and work-specific risks and the compilation of a training planthat will provide training for hazardous work.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 6 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

A continuous assessment of working conditions beyond the implementation phase on thesite by a larger-scale risk and stress analysis, by job-related fitting and working instructionsand by regular checks, inspections and safety discussions.5. The introduction of a permit to work system, PTW, in co-operation with the client, for examplefor: excavation, demolition and hot-work-activities as well as working in restricted spaces.6. The regular inspection of the plant including all machines, appliances, vehicles, tools, loadcarrying equipment, personal protective equipment and other equipment in order to ensuresafe conditions on the site.7. Ensuring effective communication between the site manager and the HSE specialists.8. Staff will receive an occupational health check up.9. Consistent protection of the environment on the site.10. The notification and examination of unforeseen incidents and accidents and a statisticalevaluation as a basis for improvement measures.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 7 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Dok.-Nr. / Doc.-No.HPES-306-001-Standard HSE Plan englischThe monthly report (incl. working hours and accident-related working downtime) must be sent toHPE-HS by the HSE manager by the 3rd working day of the following month (see Appendix 11 andSection 2.4.5).The Client’s HSE policy should also be taken into consideration with HPE's HSE strategy. Safety: no accidents and unforeseen incidents. Health: no complaints, illnesses and absences resulting from them. Environment: no complaints and pollutant emissions.2.5. SCCAll HPE staff on sites must have a valid safety certificate at SCC level/ document 17 or 18.Contractors/ subcontractors must have a certified health and safety at work management system(AMS) for the whole period that the job is being carried out and must prove this on request. Generallyaccepted certification procedures (e.g. SCC, OHSAS, SeSaM, BG procedures etc.) will beaccepted as proof. In some cases an assessment can be carried out in accordance with SCC doc. 10in consultation with and with the approval of HPE-PH. The contractor shall bear any costs for this.HPE is entitled to carry out checks on the validity of the information provided by the contractor at thecontractor's office premises at any time after prior notification. HPE will inform the contractor promptlyof the results of the evaluation of the check list.Subcontractors are responsible for ensuring that their subcontractors can also produce valid SCCcertificates. Appropriate lists must be sent to the HPE site HSE.2.6. Collaboration with our clientThe contract or the construction site regulations govern the collaboration with the client on HSErelatedissues.2.7. Valid rules and regulationsFor the project responsible people must be nominated who will ensure that safety, health and environmentalprotection regulations and the client's corresponding regulations are legally compliedwith (see Section 2.5 Organisation).Under the terms of the contract all subcontractors on the site must be informed of country-specificlegislation and standards. The following laws and regulations must be obeyed when carrying outthe work (this may not be a complete list):See 5.1 SpecificationsIt is every subcontractor's duty to look into the relevant legislation for the implementation of the project.In the event of differing regulations, the regulations that describe a higher protection goal must alwaysbe used.2.8. Safety in the planning phase2.8.1. HSE PlanGeneralBefore starting work on the site HPE will compile a safety, health and environmental protection programme(HSE plan) and agree it with the client.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 8 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Dok.-Nr. / Doc.-No.HPES-306-001-Standard HSE Plan englischRisks and hazards are associated with any building activity. Based on guidelines, basic principlesand procedures the HSE plan describes the procedure that is used to detect and eliminate theseforeseeable risks and hazards.The specifications of the HSE plan must be applied by all subcontractors on the site under theterms of our contract.The HSE plan is based on already existing systems, such as SCC or OHSAS 18001.The HSE plan relates exclusively to the implementation phase on the site.Requirements for the HSE planThe client's HSE plan will serve as a basis and framework for the HSE plan.In turn the subcontractors must compile any amendments to this HSE plan as part of their services.HPE's 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 bebrought together as an HSE document when the building work has finished. Collaboration with subcontractorsis described in Sec. 3 .2.8.2. Requirements for the SiGe- planAnother important guideline for health and safety at work on the site is safety and health coordination(SiGe- co-ordination) normally by the client. A focal point of SiGe- co-ordination by theclient is the interfaces between the contract sections on the site. For this purpose an agreementwith the client on SiGe- co-ordination will be aimed at.The SiGe- plan will contain at least the following components:Description of the work to be carried out.Summary of the subcontractors involved in carrying out the work.Description of the basic HSE principles including the various procedures, processes, organisationalstructure, training, etc. in accordance with the actual processes on the site.Description of the emergency regulations for hazardous situations that could occur in his areasof work. Each emergency regulation suggested by the subcontractor must be submitted to theclient for checking.Complete determination and assessment of risks in compliance with the relevant legislation andusing the following principles:As far as possible avoidance of risks by eliminating the direct cause.Taking the latest available technology into consideration under the terms of health andsafety at work.Collective protection is to take before individual protection.Taking the best available technology into consideration under the terms of environmental,waste and waterways protectionName of the HSE specialist for the planning phase,Name of the HSE specialist for the implementation phase,Ways in which collaboration between the main contractor and subcontractor and his subcontractorswill be carried out on the site, which precautions will be taken for this and in which waythese precautions will be monitored.Methods of briefing and instructing his contractors and his subcontractors.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 9 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Safety in the assembly and commissioning stageLegislation requires every subcontractor to identify dangerous work processes. Under the terms ofits contract HPE must prove that hazards and risks including the corresponding risk-reducingmeasures have been taken into consideration for the work.Accordingly each subcontractor will be asked to compile corresponding risk assessments for theirwork. These risk assessments will become components of the HSE plan will and be provided forthe client by HPE.Risk assessments must only be carried out by people qualified to do this.The risk assessment and evaluation system for the site is divided into 7 levels:1. Pre-qualificationSubcontractors must undergo a pre-qualification before starting work. This will include:- Information on subcontractors,- Work to be carried out including monitoring,- The names of the staff to be used including their qualifications (e.g. SCC certificate, screening,proof of professional training, first aid training etc.),- Subcontractor's SCC certification (or comparable),- 9001 QM certificate,- Reference list.Only after the pre-qualification documents have been checked can access to the site be granted.2. Wider-ranging risk assessmentThe wider-ranging risk assessment offers a good overview of the whole project. General risks aredescribed and appropriate measures to avoid or reduce them mentioned. (Example Appendix 10).The wider-ranging risk assessment will be compiled by HPE-PH and distributed to the client andthe subcontractors and will be used as a basis for compiling the subcontractor documents.3. Technical assembly specifications (TMS)The TMS contains a description of the assembly sequences of the individual units and will also beused as a basis for compiling the subcontractor documents.4. Job-related assembly instructions with risk analyses (Method Statement with RiskAnalysis)Based on the wider-ranging risk assessment, job-related assembly instructions with risk analysesmust be compiled by the relevant subcontractors. Before work starts these documents must be sentto HPE and approved (for an example see Appendix 9). The document will be compiled in twostages:- first of all the form (Appendix 9) will be filled in with the date, the known assembly steps will becreated and the risks arising from them before and after corrective measures and submitted to HPEfor checking- by no later than 1 week before work starts the final form, to which other risks will be added, will alsobe checked by HPE (see also Sec. 2.4 and 3.3).Job-related assembly instructions with risk analysis deals with a specific, potentially dangerousworking procedure, such as an individual assembly procedure or working in restricted spaces.

Dok.-Nr. / Doc.-No.HPES-306-001-Standard HSE Plan englischthis working procedure is divided into separate work steps. Then, gradually, the hazards and risksincluding the appropriate protective measures are determined. Each subcontractor will undertake toinstruct his staff on the principle of the job-related assembly instructions with risk analyses beforework starts and will prove this. In connection with this the PTW system must be seen.The job-related assembly instructions with risk analyses are normally compiled by the subcontractorsas a scheduling aid, as instructions for safe implementation of the work and as part of the workapproval system (cf. Sec. 5.3). With this HPE will be informed of the various work steps, the risks,the responsible people, the participants' necessary qualifications and about the required safety precautions.The client's CLIENT site supervisor and HPE's main contractor reserve the right to specify for allwork whether job-related work instructions must be compiled before the start. In this connectionSec. 5.3 must be noted in particular.5. Subcontractors' amendments to the HPE HSE plan4 weeks before starting work each subcontractor will submit his amendments to the HPE HSE planto HPE for approval. The amendments must comply with HPE's HSE plan (particularly sectionnumbering and contents). Essential points are, for example.: internal assembly scheduling of the relevant subcontractors representation of the internal HSE organisation, naming the HSE staff proof or training and qualification of the staff job-related assembly instructions with risk analyses work and operating instructions for staff holding regular safety-, inspection-, discussion- and other meetings communication and reporting, notifying unforeseen incidents and accidents list of hazardous chemicals used on the site emergency planningThe subcontractor must update his amendments if local regulations or the client's regulations,HPE's regulations or the conditions on the site change.6. regular checks and safety and co-ordination meetingsThe third level is composed of regular checks and safety and co-ordination meetings. Interfaces betweenthe different trades and work areas are an essential component here. Regular inspectionsare carried out sometimes announced and sometimes unannounced by the client's representatives,by HPE and the relevant subcontractors. In addition HPE will carry out regular audits. Thus the definedHSE standard will be guaranteed and constantly improved.The regular checks, inspections and safety and co-ordination meetings will be understood as acomponent part of a continuous improvement process of the HSE management system.a) Initial instruction of all employees on the siteApart from the initial instruction by the client, all HPE and subcontractors' employees will be instructedin the safety requirements of the site before the relevant work begins. The relevant subcontractorswill support this.b) Kick off meeting before work begins on the siteA kick off meeting will take place between HPE and the subcontractors before work begins on thesite. The following points will be dealt with during this meeting: Presentation of the most important contents of the HSE plan by HPE HSE staff. Briefing of a responsible subcontractor representative regarding the HSE plan by HPE's HSEstaff. Presentation of the subcontractor's HSE documents by a responsible representative and jointevaluation of the documents.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 11 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Minutes must be compiled for each toolbox meeting which show the people presentand if necessary important agreements.For their part, all subcontractors must organise HSE training sessions and toolbox meeting forthe staff they employ on the site and prove this to HPE. Comprehensive training material can beprovided on request by the HPE PHC department.Frequency of subcontractors' toolbox meetings: Normally at least once a week.Participants:HSE manager or HSE staff, responsible HPE site manager, responsible subcontractor's sitemanager and HSE staff.Time:before work starts on the site (but at least five working days in advance).d) Regular co-ordination meetingsRegular co-ordination meetings will take place at different levels with the client's managers,HPE's managers and the subcontractors involved. With regard to HSE more important problemsand interfaces will be the priority at these meetings.Participants:Responsible site manager, HSE managerFrequency:Normally once a week or as required7. LMRA (last minute risk assessment)The 7th level is the LMRA that is carried out daily before work starts on the site. This deals specificallywith the current work, the corresponding procedures and, for example, the current risks fromother trades. The LMRA must be recorded in writing (for an example seeAppendix 14).Main document sequence before workstarts1) HPE assembly description(Technical assemblyTMS specifications)2) Subcontractor's assemblydescription inc. risk analysisPermitgran-3) Work permit4) Last Minute RiskAssessment LMRAWork startsVOR180_1 Seite / Page 12 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Co-operation between the site construction manager and HSE staffClose co-operation between the site management and the HSE staff is a basic pre-requisite for agood HSE standard on the site.HPE's or the relevant subcontractors' site management is responsible for safety, health and environmentalprotection on the site. HSE staff will advise the site managers on matters of safety,health and environmental protection.HSE staff are entitled to give instructions if there is imminent danger, otherwise, they act in an advisorycapacity.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 17 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Dok.-Nr. / Doc.-No.HPES-306-001-Standard HSE Plan englisch3.1.6. HSE audits/ management reviewAs part of HPE's work management system HSE audits are organised in order to evaluate the effectivenessof the HSE plan and to work out measures to be implemented as part of the constantimprovement process. These audits are carried out by HPE's experienced, independent HSE safetyengineers.Accidents and near accidents must be systematically recorded, investigated and documented bythe subcontractors and HPE must be notified.A constant improvement process is a priority. The experiences of the building project should beused for future projects.3.2. Subcontractors' obligations3.2.1. Responsibility"If employees of more than one subcontractor are working on one site the subcontractors areobliged to work together on the implementation of the safety and health protection regulations. Ifthis is necessary for the safety and health protection of employees at work, depending on the typeof work the subcontractors must inform themselves in particular and their staff of the risks for thesafety and health of employees associated with the work and agree on measures to prevent theserisks.Depending on the type of work the subcontractor must ensure that the employees of other subcontractorswho are working in his operation have been given reasonable instructions on the risks totheir safety and health while they are working in his operation." (Employment Safety Act § 8)When using subcontractors HPE's construction manager is responsible for co-ordinating the workof the different subcontractors on the site. HSE staff will advise the construction manager on mattersof safety, health and environmental protection. This requirement will be taken into considerationat the various internal co-ordination meetings between the HPE managers and the subcontractors.Within his area of work each subcontractor bears full responsibility for the health, safety and wellbeingof his employees. The above paragraph applies in turn to any other particular subcontractorawards.The principal and HPE will try to separate the work of the different subcontractors on the site. In orderto minimise the dangers of different subcontractors working at the same time in one place theaforementioned work permit system will be implemented on the site (cf. Sec. 5.3).Safety and health protection co-ordination is normally performed by the client on the site. For thispurpose the client will try to obtain an agreement on safety and health protection co-ordination. Coordinationat HPE level (including subcontractors) will be organised by HPE.3.2.1.1. Contractor's responsible person/ language skillsAll work must be done under the management and supervision of a responsible person on site whois authorised to represent the contractor (e.g. site manager). The contractor must give the name ofthe responsible person and his deputy to the site contact person who is responsible for implementingthe order no later than 10 working days before work starts on the form indicated in Appendix13.The responsible person and his deputy must have the necessary reliability, technical qualificationsand physical suitability and have sufficient oral and written language skills to understand the in-VOR180_1 Seite / Page 18 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

TheSV’s must be instructed by the responsible person in accordance with the briefings given him byHPE and in the same way must be suitable for managing and supervising the work on site (includinglanguage skills). This means they must have the necessary technical knowledge and knowledgeabout safety at work.If the responsible person uses one or more SV’s, he remains responsible for their supervision, aclear demarcation of their tasks and authorisations and for a controlled co-operation. If a SV isprevented from performing his duties and if no other SV can be used, the responsible person or hisdeputy must perform their tasks themselves.The contractor must ensure by suitable regulations that the responsible person and the SV’s thatmay be entrusted with them can take on the tasks and powers. In particular they must be entitledto the required authority with regard to the contractor's employees and also to the contractor's -subcontractor's employees. While the work is being carried out either the responsible person, hisdeputy or an SV commissioned by him, must be present and constantly within reach on the site.All the contractor's employees must be able to understand emergency instructions and be able toread warning notices and other instruction notices on the site. In addition, the contractor and hisstaff must be familiar with the meaning of the safety notices on the site.3.2.2. Subcontractors' HSE staff3.2.2.1. Number of safety at work specialistsThe number of HSE staff who are supplied by HPE and the subcontractors depends on the type ofwork to be done and the associated assessment of working conditions. The following table givesthe recommended numbers:Employees HSE Mgr HSE officer10 1>50 1 1>100 1 2>200 1 3>300 1 4The employees must be full time (except for 1) ).Depending on the results of the risk analyses and the subcontractors' HSE performance, if necessarythe number of HSE staff on the site may be higher or lower. The HPE HSE manager mustconduct the assessment.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 19 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

The operating instructions must at least contain informationon the conditions of use, foreseeable malfunctions and the experience available regardingthe use of the tool.When briefing in accordance with § 12 of the Health and Safety at Work Act, the subcontractormust take the required precautions so that employees who use tools are given adequate instruction particularly about the risks associatedwith using them and the staff who are responsible for carrying out repair, servicing and conversion work are givenadequate special instruction.3.2.4.1. Training matrixBefore starting work the subcontractor must submit the planned training or briefing measures as amatrix (see Appendix 15).3.2.4.2. HSE motivationThe subcontractor is obliged to motivate his staff with regard to correct HSE behaviour. Incentivesor other measures are welcomed.3.2.4.3. Tidiness, cleanliness and disciplineTidiness and cleanliness on the site are necessary pre-requisites to ensure that work can be carriedout in a safety-conscious manner.If the subcontractor does not keep his working area tidy, HPE will engage a separate subcontractor.The costs will then be passed on.3.2.5. Adapted workSubcontractors must set up and maintain adapted workplaces for staff who are slightly injured orable to work to a limited extent. These do not necessarily have to be on the site. It is also possibleto set them up in the head office.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 21 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Social facilitiesOffices, break rooms, toilets, washing facilities, showers etc. must be available in sufficient numbersand 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 thenumber of people employed. Local laws and regulations must be complied with. As a rule of thumbtoilet facilities should be provided at least in the ratio of one toilet to twenty employees. This is unlesslocal regulations require a greater number.In the boiler house sufficient toilets must be provided every 20 metres.The waste water quality must comply with the requirements of the drainage system.Parts of the social facilities are the first aid facilities (cf. Sectionl 8.4).Special regional or project-specific features3.3.3. Pest controlA pest control plan must be established if necessary in close collaboration with the client. Subcontractorsmust not use any remedies without HPE's permission. Checks are necessary here.3.4. Occupational safety3.4.1. GeneralThis section sets out the minimum requirements for safe working on the site. Should local laws orregulations deviate from this the more stringent regulation must be applied.3.4.1.1. Collective protective measures:The use of collective protective measures must be preferred to the use of individual protectiveequipment. The following order will basically apply when selecting protective measures:TOPTechnical solutions firstOrganisational measures are in second placePersonal protective equipment must be used when technical or organisational measurescannot be used.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 22 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Dok.-Nr. / Doc.-No.HPES-306-001-Standard HSE Plan englischBasically the unrestricted PSA obligation to wear S3 protective shoes (up to the ankle), protectivehelmet, goggles and a high visibility jacket) applies.Personal protective equipment must be provided by the respective subcontractor for his employees.Work areas that constitute an obstacle or danger for third parties must be made safe by the relevantsubcontractor. These areas must, for example, be blocked off for a sufficient distance andmarked by warning notices.In particular assembly work taking place high up must be firmly blocked off to a sufficient distanceand marked with warning notices. Lifting loads above traffic routes and the working areas of othersubcontractors is not permitted. Such areas must be blocked off for a short time and unblockedagain immediately after work is finished.For the duration of their work in hazardous working areas the respective subcontractors must providesuitable protective devices, such as side protection, covers or barriers. This protective equipmentmust be checked constantly and if necessary repaired. In addition this protective equipmentmust be kept in place beyond the period of the particular work so that it can also be used by others.Hazardous areas must basically be firmly blocked off, marked and lit in accordance with the regulations.Before uncovering openings or removing side protection, for example, sturdy barriers must be setup at a sufficient distance. These barriers must only be removed again after the work has beencompleted. Suitable measures against falling must be taken before removing protective devices.With holes in the ground in any case ensure that people cannot walk across them and cover themso that the cover cannot be removed or protect with side protection.The following are considered to be holes Openings 9.0 m 2 or Openings bordered by a straight line where one edge is 3.0 m long.Protective measures must only be removed with the agreement of HPE and the constructor. PTWmust be complied with.Under certain circumstances protective equipment will be provided by HPE. Any costs incurred willbe borne by the relevant subcontractor.3.4.1.2. Tidiness on the siteWorking areas, thoroughfares, stairs and all other areas must be kept free of building rubble,equipment and materials. Storage areas must be clean and the materials stored there kept tidy andin a stable condition.Screws and other small parts must be stored and transported in plastic boxes or metal containers.Storing in cardboard boxes is forbidden.Waste containers must be placed in accessible places on the site and be used for the disposal ofscrap materials and other waste.Liquids and materials (e.g. paints, solvents, thinners, oils and grease) or containers that containchemicals must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.Transport routes must be kept free of cables, hoses, wires and other temporary systems. Theymust be fastened at a certain height so that they are not an obstacle on the ground or to the lightsof the traffic route.

If several subcontractors are workingin the same work area and the tidiness in this work area is not sufficient, HPE will engage athird party to make the area tidy again. The costs will be passed on pro rata to those that causedthe mess.3.4.1.3. Storage areas and storing materialsThe subcontractors' storage areas are marked. All subcontractors are required only to use the areasallocated to them, 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 willbe relocated by the HPE site manager without prior warning at the subcontractor's expense or removedfrom the site. The contractor shall bear any costs for this.Each subcontractor's storage area must be carefully fenced off. A board with the name of the relevantsubcontractor and name and telephone number of the responsible construction manager mustbe affixed.Permission must be obtained from HPE before materials are stored anywhere other than the allocatedareas. Only sufficient material to cover the daily requirements must be brought in from thestores.Materials must be stored tidily. Traffic routes and work areas must be kept free. The HPE constructionmanager must be informed immediately of any interference.3.4.1.4. Storing gas bottles and combustible materialsThis section deals with any portable gas bottles, LPG (propane, butane) containers, diesel containers,solvents and other combustible materials. All subcontractors are responsible for ensuring thattheir materials comply with the following principles: Gas bottles and other gas-filled containers must be protected against mechanical, chemical andthermal effects. Substances that react with each other and in doing so could emit heat or poisonous fumes orgases must be stored separately. Combustible materials must be stored in adequate, ventilated metal containers that are labelledwith "Combustible materials". Gas bottles must be stored upright and in a stable position. If they are used underground thebottles must be fitted with special sealed closures. Gas bottles must not be stored underground. “Hot-work activities” must not take place in the vicinity of places where combustible materials orfuels are stored. A suitable fire extinguisher must be kept in the vicinity of any area where combustible materialsor fuel are stored. Any bottles, temporary equipment and containers of combustible or toxic materials must be labelledwith the owner's name.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 24 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Weather conditionsThe necessary protective measures for building in the cold season must be specified by the respectivesubcontractors 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 ofsnow and ice by the relevant subcontractors and lit sufficiently.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.Appliances and construction machinery 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 onareas that are walked on or walked up). Take care when operating construction machinery on frozenearth. Engines must be operated in accordance with the operating instructions.Frozen earth must be protected from collapsing (when it thaws).3.4.2. Site co-ordinationThe client is normally responsible for the co-ordination of the whole site. In accordance with the siteregulations the client will provide a SiGeKo.3.4.3. Work permit system3.4.3.1. Work permit system (PTW system)The permission to work system is used to monitor specific work that is considered potentially dangerous.In addition close co-operation between the construction management and the employeescarrying out the work on site must be guaranteed. This applies to each subcontractor.Work permits are only issued if a risk analysis (cf. Sec. 1.9) has been carried out before workstarts.The client in consultation with HPE will determine what type of work requires a work permit beforework starts on the site. Normally work permits are required for the following work:Construction phase Excavation work Hot-work-activities Working in confined spaces, also boiler supports X-ray work Working high up Pressure tests Floor openingsCommissioningThe following higher level work requires a PTW: Cold commissioning (without operating material) Hot commissioning (with operating materials and plant parts that are prepared for operation) Optimising the plant parts/ test run of the plant parts Test running the plant Approval test (testing the guaranteed quantities)VOR180_1 Seite / Page 25 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Work permits must be kept in the place the work is being done and produced on request.After the work has been completed the work permit must be handed back to the subcontractor'sresponsible person. The misuse of the work permit system will entail disciplinary measuresand could lead to expulsion from the site.3.4.4. Traffic3.4.4.1. Entrances and exitsEntrances and exits are normally monitored by an external security service which is engaged by theclient.3.4.4.2. Access controlThe companies' employees must be registered in writing by HPE two weeks before starting work atthe site. Following a safety-related site briefing (initial briefing) a personal site pass will be issued.The supply of materials must be notified to the HPE site manager at least 24 hours in advance inwriting.Private cars may not access the site and must be parked outside. All subcontractors' vehicles musthave the name of the relevant company on them.

Working in confined spacesThe definition of the term "confined space" used in this context is characterised by several specialfeatures: Access to confined spaces is often only possible using special equipment or a lack of oxygen or an accumulation of noxious or explosive gases or the temperature is higher or lower than under normal circumstances or in some circumstances residue 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 work to be carried out or boiler stanchions, see Sec. 5.7.1.Safety extra low voltage must be used for electrical work in confined spaces.All confined spaces must be clearly marked so that unauthorised people may not go in them. Workingin confined spaces is associated with special risks for any member of staff.One week before work starts the relevant subcontractor must submit the risk analysis/ work instructionsin order to obtain the relevant work permit.Possible risk factors are, for example, asphyxiation by toxic gases, fumes or lack of oxygen, sediments,slippery or bulky material, various fixtures, 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 shiftsupervisors. The permit must be affixed next to the entrance to the room together with a list of thepeople working there.A rescue plan relating to the specific case must be drawn up before work starts and rescue equipmentis necessary.Before work starts and while the work is going on the atmosphere in "confined spaces" must bechecked for oxygen content and any poisonous gases.Should anybody go into a confined space a flagman must be posted at the entrance to the dangerarea. The subcontractor must ensure that it is always possible for the person in the confined spaceand the flagman to communicate with each other. The flagman must not do anything else that coulddivert his attention from the person involved.All employees must be extensively trained for working in "confined spaces". In addition regular rescuedrills must be carried out.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 30 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

A clearance measurement is normally not requiredif it can be demonstrated that there can be no accumulation of harmful substances. PPEafmust be worn. Safety and rescue equipment must be on hand and used. It must always be possibleto save an injured person.3.4.8. Hot-work-activitiesAll subcontractors will provide adequate fire protection precautions. Fire protection must be regulatedfor comprehensively in the subcontractors' HSE plans.Each subcontractor will keep his own fire extinguishing equipment in his site facilities and in hiswork areas in accordance with local regulations. The client's or HPE's fire extinguishing equipmentmust only be used in an emergency. Emergency telephones must be available on site.All fire extinguishers must be checked regularly and labelled in accordance with local regulations.The position of fire extinguishing equipment must be indicated by notices.Staff must be trained in the use of fire extinguishers and other extinguishing equipment by the respectivesubcontractors on the site. Alarms must be tested at regular intervals.If necessary a fire watch will be specified in the work permit. For working with high temperatureprocesses where there is a low risk of fire the person carrying out the work can be specified as thefire watch. Fire watches must be specially trained. The fire watch will remain in the vicinity permanently.After the work involving high temperature processes has been completed or after the firehas been extinguished he will remain at his post for the time specified in the work permit.The traffic routes, escape routes and emergency exits must be kept clear at all times.Only small amounts of slightly inflammable materials may be stored.Places where combustible gases or materials are used or stored must be labelled appropriately andfire extinguishers will be available. Combustible materials or gases must be stored separately. Ifthis is not possible a sufficient distance between the materials must be maintained. The storage areamust be ventilated continuously.For all work involving heat, 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 work approval permit before carrying out the work. If the type of workplace requires it welding blankets must be used to prevent the risk of fire fromsparks spraying out. An approved fire extinguisher must be available in the workplace. Gas and oxygen pipes must be in a good condition and be checked for defects before use. Gas and oxygen bottles must only be in the workplace if they are required for the work to beperformed. Gas and oxygen bottles must be installed in such a way that they are reasonably protectedagainst falling over, e.g. by a chain and in such a way that they cannot be hit by falling objects.They must always be easy to reach and must be able to be removed quickly and easily in theevent of a fire. Gas and oxygen bottles must have a gas bottle key so that the gas bottle cut off valve can beturned off.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 31 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Cleaning closed systemsBefore hiring, normally cleaning processes, such as rinsing, pickling and, if necessary, air cleaningis specified by the HPE project manager, if necessary with the help of CM.Normally only chemicals that are registered in accordance with REACH can be used (see alsoSec.5.21 Hazardous substances).In addition, the removal of rinsing water and waste water that occurs during pickling must be treatedin accordance with VGB-R 513 "Internal cleaning of water pipe steam generation plants andpipes".3.4.9.1. PicklingPickling is a chemical surface cleaning process before commissioning. It removes residue and enablesa controlled build up of a protective layer.Typical pickling procedure steps are, for example:- pre-rinsing with deionised water- rinsing with a surface-active agent- rinsing with deionised water- heating the system- dynamic acid treatment- replacing the acid and rinsing- alkaline treatment and passivationApart from hydrofluoric acid other substances such as hydrochloric acid are also used. Dependingon the process, the required additional temporary installations are planned. Liquid chemicals arenormally supplied in 1,000 IBC’s. The floor should be level and have a sufficient load capacity. Becauseof the risks, as a precaution, an emergency plan should be developed and discussed at theinstallation site with the staff and mainly with the first alders and the rescue workers.3.4.9.2. Blowing outBlowing out is a method of removing foreign bodies from the plant component. It is used to protectturbines which react very sensitively to foreign bodies. The steam is fed at high pressure throughthe pipe system and associated parts. As a rule the area around the steam boiler or the completeboiler house and areas in front of the connection openings must be considered at risk and cordonedoff. Safety measures must be kept in place until cooling is complete. Mufflers should be considered.In general a sound pressure of more than 120dB (A) is possible. Hot steam may precipitateas mist in the environment. Clouds may be coloured with paint residue or corrosion protectionmaterial. Neighbours and the authorities should be informed.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 32 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Before starting excavation work ascertain the type and location of supply and disposal lines. Ascertain and mark the course of the line.Digger used as a lifting tool Hydraulic diggers must have overload warning devices and if necessary be fitted with devicesto ensure the hoses cannot break. Turn the overload warning devices on. Use permissible attachment points. Do not swing the load over people. If necessary guide the attached load with guide ropes. People helping to guide the load and riggers must be in the digger driver's line of sight andstay outside the lane.Loaders/ GradersProtective measures A roll over protective device in compliance with the standard must be fitted as well as seatbeltsin machines with a drive power of more than 15kW. The existing seatbelts must be worn. People riding on the machine must use the seats provided for this.When using Before reversing make sure that there is nobody standing in the danger area. Adjust mirrors. When driving loading appliances keep the operating equipment close to the floor. Only lift this just before you reach the vehicle to be loaded. When on a slope always keep the loads facing uphill. When travelling in a public traffic area cover the cutting edges or teeth of the equipment. At tipping points there is the risk of toppling over. If necessary use parking stops. If loaders are used as excavating devices in front of a rock face the height of the face mustnot exceed the reach height of the machine by more than 1.00m. With machines with articulated jointsthere is an increased risk of toppling over when the joints are articulated.The articulated joint must be immobilised for servicing and repair work.3.4.16.4. Hand toolsStop using damaged hand tools immediately and repair them properly.Do not carry pointed items and sharp tools loose in the pockets of work overalls.Ensure that you are at the correct working height, that you are on a stable surface and havesufficient freedom of movement.When working at a height hand tools and small parts must be used with some sort of securingdevice so that they cannot fall.3.4.17. Shutting downWhen shutting down installations, equipment and their parts safety measures must be taken. Theseshould prevent the machine being turned on again accidentally. This means, for example: put padlockson main switches, lockable control boxes, insert locking discs.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 40 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

ScaffoldingAll materials for scaffolding and the requirements for the qualification of the scaffolder and hisworkers must meet the requirements of local legislation.The scaffolding subcontractor is responsible for ensuring that the scaffolding is erected and takendown safely and for ensuring that it is constantly safe for users.Scaffolding must only be erected by suitable technically qualified people. The work must be commissionedby a suitably qualified, authorised person on site. If personal protective equipment toprevent falling is used additional training/ exercises are required.A plan for erecting, converting and taking down the scaffolding (assembly instructions) must becompiled based on the scaffolding manufacturer's instructions for erection and use by the subcontractorresponsible for the scaffolding work or an authorised person specified by him for this.This plan must be available to those carrying out the work. The workers must be briefed about this.The subcontractor responsible for setting up the scaffolding must have the scaffolding erected byhim inspected after assembly by a person authorised to do this based on a plan for the erection,conversion and taking down (assembly instructions) and the instructions for setting up and using.The responsible subcontractor who uses the scaffolding must have it inspected for operationalsafety before it is used for the first time by an authorised person to ensure that it is suitable for thework to be carried out. This person must also keep a "scaffolding log" in which the: scaffolding number location erection date transfer date test data (normally weekly) dismantling dateare recorded. The scaffolding log should be recorded in electronic form.The subcontractor's system should be used as a basis for the electronic system. The data shouldbe updated once a week between the subcontractor's and the HPE version.Essential elements of safe scaffolding are: stability, rigidity, anchoring, 3 part side protection, ifnecessary anti-fall guards on the inside using internal side protection or panels, as far as possiblefull-boarded covering, corner protection, accessibility, if necessary providing protective scaffolding,if necessary guards against falling parts.VOR180_1 Seite / Page 41 ÷ 56HPES-306-001-e-Standard HSE Plan Ausg. / Issue 03.2011

Unlabelled scaffolding must not be used.3.4.18.2. Use of LaddersThe basic principle "steps before ladders" applies. Ladder use must be kept to a minimum. Laddersmay only be used for a short time to bridge the gap between small height differences.Ladders may not be used as a place of work. Before each use it must be checked whether a ladderis the best, safest way to access the relevant working area or temporary place of work. In somecases, for example, mobile scaffolding may be a better solution.All ladders must be kept in good condition. The rungs must be securely attached. Damaged laddersmust be removed immediately and repaired or replaced. All ladders must be inspected at regular intervals.Test logs must be kept in writing and be available on the construction site.Ladders must be positioned safely and secured so that they cannot slip. The correct pitch of theladder and the correct position of the worker must be checked regularly. The ladder must protrudeat least one metre above the point where the worker gets off.Metal ladders must not be used for electrical work.Ladders that are not being used must be removed.Ladders may be no more than seven metres high and only used with foot extenders. Pickling or hotliquids must not be used on ladders.3.4.18.3.
