tasks on the same project site.

MELAN SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT PLAN |

 MELAN ELECTROMECHANICAL SOLUTION PLC

As part of the job preparation and induction process onsite risk assessment must be performed in
order to determine the following:-
Identify the hazards – identify all the hazards associated with the tasks andsituations
that could potentially cause harm.
Assess the risks – consider what could happen (i.e. the consequence) ifsomeone is
exposed to a hazard and the likelihood of it happening.
Control the risks – list appropriate control measures. The methods ofcontrolling risks
are ranked from the highest level of protection and reliability tothe lowest.
A. Elimination (the most effective control measure) – the hazard or hazardous work practice is
removed.
B. Substitution – the hazardous process or material is replaced with one that is less hazardous.
This will reduce the hazard, and so reduce the risk.
C. Engineering – engineering control measures are used to minimise the risk.
D. Administrative – involves the use of safe work practices to control the risk.
E. Personal protective equipment (PPE) – the last resource of risk control which must never be
used in isolation of other risk controls.
F. Review the control measures – continually review the control measures implemented to
control the risk(s). When the control measure is not effective in controlling the risk
G. All team members entering the construction site read understand and sign onto the risk
assessment, permit and any other documents as required.
H. where a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) for a specific task is available, anyhazards
that are not identified by the SWMS must be recorded on the risk assessment.

Note:-A risk assessment and Permit to work should be carried out for all tasks which will be
discussed with members of HEINEKEN Ethiopiastaff and the Melan, any queries or concerns
will be raised with the site manager who will ensure it is dealt with Staff and Melan will be
inducted onto site by the principal Melan and will follow all site rules and safety procedures.

8 Safe Work Procedure

8.1 LOTO System

A standard lockout/tagout procedure starts with identifying all potential power sources for the
equipment being worked on. Before an authorized worker shuts down and close the Electrical
line Fluid valves, he or she must be completely informed about the type and magnitude of the
work to be performed. The worker must also be aware of the hazards of the energy to be shut
down and the method to control the power and fluid.

Good housekeeping is an essential component in the prevention of fires. Fires can start anywhere
and at any time and may require different types of fire suppression chemicals. Therefore, it is
important to know what materials are burning and the type of fire extinguisher to use in that
situation.
Always keep fire extinguishers visible with easy access. To maintain peak efficiency, fire
extinguishers must be properly stored and maintained. Where temperature extremes are a factor,
ensure that care is taken in selecting the right extinguisher. Although fire extinguisher use seems
basic, workers should receive training in the effective use of fire extinguishing equipment.
Extinguishers have a very short duration of discharge—usually less than 60 seconds. Be sure to
aim at the base of the fire.
Fire extinguishers must always be
Visible
Marked
Easily accessible
Well-maintained
Refilled or replaced immediately after use.
They must be inspected for defects or deterioration once a month by a competent worker who
records the date on the tag.
