1. INTRODUCTION
The implementation of the Adrar Emoles 3 Exploration Permit will generate potential
risks to the human and biophysical environment in the area concerned.
In order to ensure that these identified risks and impacts are taken into account, this
Health, Safety and Environment Management Plan has been drawn up.
The general objective is to define all the conditions necessary to ensure the safe
implementation of the project.
Specifically, this plan will:
• Identify project risks;
• Plan the measures to be put in place to control the risks and situations arising
from the project activities;
• Inform, raise awareness and train staff on the risks associated with the work
and the need to use protective equipment;
• To protect the health and safety of workers and surrounding populations in the
context of project activities;
• Define and describe the responsibilities and obligations of each stakeholder
with regard to health, safety and security during the execution of the project;
• Define and describe the responsibilities and obligations of each stakeholder
for engagement with local communities during project implementation;
• Put in place the rules for planning and coordinating work safely;
• Implement actions in case of accidents and incidents.
The Health, Safety and Security objectives can be summarised as follows:
• To achieve the principle of "zero fatalities", which implies the rapid elimination
of accident factors through the analysis of causes;
• Minimise the time staff are unfit for work, due to work-related and non-work-
related injuries and illnesses, by providing an adequate medical service;
• Promote compliance with the safety policy on and off the job;
• Improve working conditions for staff;
• Ensuring good health;
• Ensuring the preservation of assets.

people's living conditions;
• To contribute significantly to the improvement of tax revenues at local, regional
and national levels as well as to socio-economic development through
investments in various sectors;
• Redevelop all the sites operated at the closure of the project.
2.2. Expected results
The main results expected from the implementation of the project are:
• the permanent surface infrastructure (base camp, administrative and technical
buildings, sanitary facilities, water and electricity networks, ponds, various
7
 workshops and garages, shops and warehouses for various products and
equipment, waste rock and tailings disposal areas, etc.) are built and/or
installed;
• the underground mine (access ramp (tunnel), galleries, shafts/ventilation
holes) and all associated facilities (garage, workshops, crushing plant, various
cables, signalling, instructions, etc.) are constructed and/or installed;
• the ore processing plant and the various support services (administrative and
technical blocks, workshops, garage, warehouse, various networks, contact
for the production of sulphuric acid, hydraulic works, slurry pits, slurry pits,
various storage areas for inputs, etc.) are built;
• the ore extracted is processed, the uranate obtained is smelted and
transported to potential outlets;
• temporary and permanent jobs are created and the living conditions of the
people in the area are improved;
• a significant contribution to the improvement of tax revenues at local, regional
and national levels as well as to socio-economic development through
investments in various sectors is made;
• all operated sites are redeveloped at project closure.

2.3. Description of the deposit

All known uranium deposits in Niger are located in sandstones and conglomerates of
the Tim Mersoi basin. They are all classified as belonging to the tabular sedimentary
types.
Sandstone-hosted uranium deposits are marked by epigenetic concentrations of
uranium in fluvial/lacustrine or deltaic sandstones deposited in fluvial continental
environments frequently in transition zones from higher to lower flow regimes, such as
along paleo ridges or domes. Roll-front deposits contain impermeable shales or
mudstones overlying or underlying or separating the mineralised sandstones and
ensuring that fluids move along the sandstone bodies.
In sandstone-type deposits, uranium is usually precipitated by oxidising fluids from
reducing agents such as plant material, amorphous humate, sulphides, iron minerals
and hydrocarbons. The oxidation and reduction facies display typical colours and can
assist in the selection of exploration targets. Fluid migration and deposition of uranium
leaves a colour change from red hematite (oxidised) to grey-green (reduced). The
main uranium minerals in most sandstone-type deposits are uraninite, pitchblende,
coffinite
In general, it can be noted from north to south in eastern Niger that uranium
mineralisation appears to occur in increasingly younger strata. This is most likely a
combination of a change in source zones and uranium supply over time, and the fact
that in the south the younger strata are exposed at the surface, necessitating
increasingly deeper drilling in the southern areas (e.g. Carboniferous - older targets).
The best grade and tonnage of uranium in the Adrar Emoles 3 deposit is found in the
sandstone of the Tchirezrine 2 formation, the same formation that also contains the
large ORANO Imouraren deposit, located about 40 km northwest of Adrar Emoles 3.

8
In contrast to the carboniferous mineralisation in the Arlit area, the uranium in the
Tchirezrine 2 formation occurs mainly as hexavalent uranium minerals in an oxidised
environment. Uranophane is the most abundant mineral. It can form small aggregates
or appear as a continuous coating parallel to the layering. Uranophane is commonly
associated with chrysocolla and in small quantities also with boltwoodite.
Metatyuyamunite has also been found. Coffinite exists in the residual reduced areas,
as well as chalcocite and native copper. Pitchblende was observed in small quantities.
This mineralisation occurs in two main forms: interstitial in the sandstones, and
massive sulphide mineralisation in the microcracks with galena and blende.

place.

15
5. RESCUE AND EVACUATION ARRANGEMENTS
Each person intervening on the project site (employee, subcontractor, service
provider, accompanied visitor, control mission, etc.) must know the means and the
way to call for help, the assembly points and the conduct to follow according to their
skills and functions.

5.1. Alert procedure

As prevention is one of the best options for safety, the HSE manager will ensure that
workers know what to do in the event of an incident or accident.
To this end, emergency preparedness for the worker should be provided by the HSE
officer.
The main objective is to avoid improvisations that worsen the consequences of an
accident. The aim is to show what to do and what not to do in the event of an incident
or accident. To do this, it is necessary to:
• make staff aware of the risks of panic that may arise in the event of an
accident;
• comment on the "Accident Calls" poster displayed in workplaces;
• indicate access to workstations to facilitate the organisation of rescue
operations.
Of course, workers prepared in this way do not replace first aiders, whose special
training remains indispensable.
Finally, each worker on the site should be aware of the following points depending on
the undesired events.
In case:
• Accident: notify the safety department or follow the posted instructions;
• Fire: Fight the fire and notify safety personnel on site;
• Siren: Go to the nearest assembly point.

5.2. Assembly points

Depending on the organisation of the whole site, assembly points should be defined.
Signs indicating these places should be made and placed.

5.3. Lists of first aid workers

As part of the implementation of this plan, the project must have a list of trained first
aiders. This list must include the following information Names and surnames, duties
and place of employment.
The HSE manager ensures that the list of first aiders on the project sites is updated in
real time.

16
5.4. Medical equipment
5.4.1. Infirmary
In accordance with the regulations and depending on the number of employees on the
site, an infirmary will be set up in accordance. Indeed, paragraph 1 of Decree No. 2017
017-682/PRN/MET/PS of 10 August 2017 on the regulatory part of the Labour Code
stipulates that: "There must be provided at least : in 1st category establishments, the
permanent service of one doctor and two (2) nurses up to one thousand (1000)
workers, one additional doctor for every 500 workers and one additional nurse for
every 300 workers; when the establishment comprises less than one thousand (1000)
workers and is located less than twenty-five (25) kilometres from an official medical
centre or a centre of activity of a private doctor, it may be classified as 2nd category
by decision of the Minister in charge of Labour, after the opinion of the Minister in
charge of Public Health."
This infirmary will be set up in a four-compartment container comprising: a waiting
room; a consultation room equipped with furniture and medical equipment; a treatment
room and a rest room.
For the purposes of the operation of this establishment, the GAC will comply with the
texts in force, in particular the conditions of recruitment of care personnel in
companies.
5.4.2. First aid kit
First aid kits for first aid will be provided in some of the light and heavy vehicles
operating on the various project sites.
No medication is accepted in the first aid boxes, unless prescribed by the occupational
physician.
The use of emergency boxes must be systematically reported to the HSE manager for
replenishment.
The contents and durability of these emergency boxes will be checked regularly. If an
item is found to be missing, it will be replaced as soon as possible.

5.5. Evacuation procedure

In the event that the infirmary does not have the means to receive a patient following
a serious accident or a serious health problem, the HSE manager informs the site
manager of the need to evacuate the patient to a health centre that will be agreed
upon, particularly in Agadez.
In this case, the person in charge of the infirmary fills in an evacuation request form
which will be submitted by the HSE to the site manager for approval.

5.6. Fire
The HSE manager maintains a list of officers with firefighting skills
5.6.1. Prevention and fire-fighting measures
Effective means of fire prevention and fire-fighting should be available. They should
comply with national legislation and approved standards.

17
They should be placed within easy reach to facilitate their accessibility and use in case
of emergency. They will consist of: Sandbox, Fireproof suit, ABC powder extinguisher
(6 and 9 kg), Safety shower.
Fire-fighting equipment should be inspected, maintained and tested in accordance
with the manufacturers' recommendations and the relevant regulations.
5.6.2. List of firefighting equipment:
A situation of the firefighting equipment distribution plan will be developed and
maintained by the HSE manager.
5.6.3. Fire prevention
The best way to fight a fire is to prevent it. Fires can be prevented or their damage
greatly reduced by applying storage rules and by thinking through each stage of the
operation. This includes removing waste, separating flammable liquids from
combustible products such as boxes of cardboard and paper, storing a limited amount
of flammable products and keeping traffic areas unobstructed and clean.
Check the site and observe if there are broken electrical wires; if there is an electric
motor that can generate sparks near flammable liquids; if there are bottles of
flammable substances too close to the heat; if the work area is cluttered, etc. It is
strictly forbidden to light fires inside the work site or to cause bush fires. Prevention
measures will be posted wherever necessary on the Company's facilities.
5.6.4. Reflexes in case of fire
In case of fire:
• Protecting the area;
• Use on-site extinguishers at the base of the fire;
• Notify the emergency service and wait for instructions.
5.7. Emergency service
The emergency service will consist of the personnel listed in the table below.

6.2. Health
 Routine and emergency medical service
The Project will organise a routine and emergency medical service in all its facilities
(base camp, offices, work sites). This service will include :
• An infirmary during the construction and operation phases of the project;
• An occupational health agreement with an occupational physician;
• A sufficient number of trained permanent first aiders whose contact details
are readily available;
• First aid kits and adequate first aid kits in vehicles and machinery;
• An agreement with the hospital in Agadez for the management of cases
beyond the competence of the site's infirmary.
 Operation of the infirmary
The infirmary will operate as follows:
19
 • Presence of a permanent nurse: who will provide basic care and dressings.
His/her services will be limited to cases of minor accidents and illnesses that
are not proven to be dangerous or contaminating.
• Temporary hospitalisations will be carried out depending on the case, notably
required to take medication or to carry out dressings.
• Supplies of medicinal products defined according to the epidemiological map
of the region and the staff's health status sheet will be carried out regularly.
• An occupational physician will visit the infirmary once a week to consult with
staff and provide occupational medicine.
 Medical evacuation service
Evacuations will be carried out to health centres agreed with GAC or the service
provider, as appropriate. In the event of complications or aggravation of the injuries of
an accident victim, the victim may be evacuated to other centres in Niamey.

6.3. Management of Hazardous Materials and Substances in Service

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the products in this range will be available from the HSE
Manager and displayed in appropriate places accessible to user personnel.
In collaboration with the medical team, he will draw up summary tables to help manage
the risks arising from contact with the human body.
The Medical Team should be equipped for primary care in case of poisoning
(antidotes, oxygen, etc.)

6.4. Dust
Appropriate measures shall be taken to control inhalable and respirable dusts in all
workplaces, in particular in areas where such dusts
may be generated, e.g. at loading, unloading and transhipment
points of materials and wastes, at crushing plants and on taxiways.

6.5. Ionising radiation

Within the framework of the activities on the project site, the necessary measures will
be implemented to combat the effects of ionising radiation. The competent authority
will be consulted on the national legislation and standards for
radiation exposure. In concrete terms, the following measures will be defined and
applied:
• Monitoring and dose assessment measures;
• Technical measures, including;
• Administrative protection measures;
• Personal hygiene measures.

6.6. Hygiene
The base's facilities will include toilet facilities for all company personnel.

20
Cloakroom facilities will be provided at the expense of the contractors to allow workers
to exchange clothes.
The cleanliness of the facilities will be ensured by a team of maintenance staff who
will be responsible for their daily maintenance.
As a result, identified bins or skips will be placed in the designated areas to
accommodate ordinary waste consisting mainly of organic material for office areas.
This type of waste will be collected, stored and disposed of according to the
recommendations of the waste management plan.
On site, the work areas will be cleared of all residues (off-cuts of planks, iron, cables,
etc.) during the work and at the end of the day. This waste will be piled up, collected
and stored according to the recommendations of the Environmental Management
Plan.
Workstations will be left clean and tidy.
Awareness-raising campaigns on personal hygiene and cleanliness will be conducted
among staff.
Drinking water will be available to all workers.

6.7. Policy on alcohol, drugs and unauthorised substances

The possession, consumption or distribution of alcohol, drugs or unauthorised
substances is strictly prohibited at all workplaces in this project.
Employees who arrive at work or perform their duties under the influence of these
products will be severely punished.
All necessary measures will be taken to detect, monitor and prevent any infringement
of this prohibition.
The detection methods will consist of a systematic search of luggage at the entrance
to the facilities or the findings of the HSE manager during surveillance rounds.
All employees of the company, of a contractor and of its subcontractors are subject to
this prohibition.
Awareness-raising pictograms will be displayed on site explaining the harmful effects
on health and prohibiting the introduction and consumption of alcohol, drugs and
unauthorised substances on GAC premises.

6.8. Order and cleanliness

Arrangements will be made for:
• Improve working conditions;
• Reduce the risk of all types of accidents;
• To facilitate travel;
• Save time and costs;
• Waste management at all levels to avoid clutter;
• Do not pour any product without the agreement of the site manager;

21
• Please take all measures to avoid any pollution, even accidental;
• Use the bins provided for each waste product.

22
7. SECURITY MEASURES

7.1. HSE points

The HSE points will be held during the technical meetings of the site on a frequency
to be determined and will concern the situation of the questions on the HSE aspects
established by the HSE manager. They allow the site manager to inquire about HSE
issues on the site and to take the necessary measures in accordance with regulations,
the client's expectations, the donors' procedures and GAC's HSE policy.
HSE points allow:
• ensuring compliance with the rules on safety, health and working conditions;
• check the application of the measures decided at the HSE meetings;
• update the risk map and the measures to be adopted;
• to ensure that the HSE Plan is harmonised and updated in line with the
activities on the site;
• to define common rules intended to contribute to the coordination of measures
taken to ensure compliance with safety and health protection measures;
• to examine work-related accidents or incidents that occur at the workplace and
to participate in the investigation of serious accidents,
• propose additional safety training and review regulatory training;
• Continuous review of health and safety measures;
• ensuring compliance with Health and Safety measures for workers
The HSE manager follows up on site the actions retained following the HSE points
and integrates them into his situation presented during the site meetings

7.2. Reception of the worker on the site

The HSE manager ensures that every worker arriving on site is informed about the
HSE measures to be applied in the work area, the general instructions and the HSE
plan.
This training concerns permanent staff, subcontractors, unqualified staff and visitors,
particularly with regard to reception and traffic procedures on the site.
The purpose of this training is to instruct on the precautions to be taken to ensure
one's own safety and, if necessary, that of others on site.
This training must enable the worker to carry out his work under the best HSE
conditions, both for himself and his colleagues, and to carry out his visit for the visitor.
The security reception is an important moment, too often neglected. It allows a good
integration into the company, the project and the team. All personnel working on the
site will therefore undergo a type of safety induction training beforehand.
This reception has two aspects:
23
 • one material (administrative formalities, provision of tools or individual
equipment);
• the other human.
Depending on the newcomer, the basics of the "Hygiene-Health-Safety Reception"
training or awareness-raising may cover, among other things
• The presentation of the site;
• The HSE policy in place;
• Description of medical facilities and evacuation plan;
• Disciplinary measures in case of violation of safety rules;
• Collective and individual protective equipment;
• Emergency procedures;
• Security gatherings (security minutes);
• Accident/workplace accident/fire alert procedures;
• HSE guidelines;
• A training course on the reception of the work station which will deal with the
technical aspect and the respect of the safety rules;
• Specific risks related to the workplace;
• Health and safety measures specific to the site;
• Etc.
In order to ensure the regular functioning of the procedures put in place and to enable
their internalisation, simulation sessions will be organised.

7.3. Safety minutes

Safety minutes will be conducted by the team leaders (team leaders, site managers,
department managers, etc.) in each section at a frequency to be determined by the
subcontracting companies in agreement with the HSE manager. An attendance list will
be signed to serve as a record.

7.4. Specific training

Depending on the findings of the internal and external (by regulatory bodies)
inspections carried out, the relevant contractor companies will organise specific safety
training. This training will be provided by the HSE manager, a service provider or by
internal staff with good experience in the subject matter of the training.
All training will be coordinated by the HSE Manager and programmes may include
• Rescue and first aid at work ;
• The use of various devices and tools;
24
 • Stress in the workplace ;
• Risks related to the activities ;
• The line of conduct and road safety ;
• Fire prevention and control ;
• Etc.

7.5. Staff information and communication

To ensure staff information and communication, signs will be installed at the work
areas on the site. They will indicate:
• The place concerned;
• Safety results (in accidents at work and days off work);
• Mandatory PPE;
In addition, signs with essential safety and prevention notices will also be placed in
appropriate places that can be easily read by all.
The rules recalled concern:
• Wearing PPE;
• Prohibition of public access to the site;
• Seatbelt use in vehicles;
• Compliance with speed limits;
• Not drinking and driving and not drinking and driving at work.
Finally, the various officials will be provided with modern means of communication
(mobile phones) enabling them to seek advice or receive any information related to
accident prevention.

7.6. Protection of personnel on site

7.6.1. Collective protection
Collective protection equipment will be installed wherever necessary and used by
workers against hazards (falling from heights, falling objects, etc.). All collective
protection equipment is subject to periodic monitoring.
The partial or total dismantling of collective protection is strictly forbidden without
compensatory measure(s) and without the agreement of the site manager and the
HSE Manager.
Any person who notices a collective protection defect must immediately notify the site
manager or the person in charge of the work being carried out.

25
7.6.2. Personal Protection
To ensure the personal protection of workers, the wearing of PPE will be one of the
fundamental elements of HSE actions at the GAC site. This includes wearing the
following basic mandatory PPE:
• Safety helmet;
• Safety shoes;
• Working clothes;
• Safety waistcoat.
Specific PPE, therefore depending on the position, will be provided to the staff
concerned on request. These are (es):
• Safety glasses with side protection;
• Earplugs, earmuffs or headphones;
• Handling gloves;
• PVC safety boots;
• Gloves of different types (welder, PVC);
• Respiratory protection mask (dust, gas, etc.);
• Specific protective glasses (grinding, welding, flame cutting, etc.);
• Aprons and other specific work clothing;
• Rain sets;
• Etc.
The HSE manager will ensure the supply and distribution of this PPE.
7.6.3. Staff transport
The transport of personnel to and from the work sites will be provided by vehicles
equipped for the transport of personnel, thus ensuring their safety.
For holidays or recuperation, the subcontracting companies will establish agreements
with the transport companies of their choice to bring the workers to Agadez.
Depending on their destination, each company will bear the corresponding transport
costs.

7.7. Main registers to be kept at the work site

To ensure good control of information on hygiene, health and safety on the site,
registers that are continuously maintained and filled in will be set up for each
workstation. These will include the following registers:
• Fire prevention plan;
• Register of the Labour Inspection (administration and HSE);
26
• Safety and control register for machinery and installations (electrical
installations, lifting equipment, safety devices, cables - chains - ropes - hooks,
mobile cranes, compressed gas containers, self-propelled trucks, etc.);
• Maintenance and intervention register (kept in the maintenance department
office);
• Register of periodic inspections (kept in the Material Services office);
• Near miss, accident, near miss and incident register;
• Fire register (HSE Officer);
• Register of minor accidents (infirmary);
• Complaint Register (HSE Officer);
• First aid register (infirmary).

27
8. HAZARD PREVENTION MEASURES

8.1. Cohabitation of pedestrian equipment:

Traffic will be regulated in accordance with the needs of the site to avoid the risks
associated with machine/pedestrian cohabitation.

8.2. Machinery and vehicles

All personnel (GAC, subcontractors, etc.) will respect the highway code on the public
space and the traffic rules on the site. Signage and internal instructions must be strictly
respected.
The following provisions must be observed:
• Mandatory wearing of seat belts while driving ;
• The 30 km/h speed limit;
• Supervision of the manoeuvres of large machines;
• Authorisations to operate large machinery;
• Regular monitoring of the sensitive points of the equipment (lighting, glass
surfaces to ensure good visibility, etc.).

8.3. Handling
Materials, products and waste will be moved with the help of machinery.
Manual handling is only used for occasional operations with small loads and small
spaces.
Gloves must be worn during handling.
Staff should adopt a good posture to avoid the risk of low back pain.

8.4. Crane guiding Slinging

The main risks are:
• Impact with the load (with the installation or a person) ;
• Load drop;
• Hand contusions, entrapment;
• Collision.
The obligations to be respected are:
• Use and wearing of appropriate protective equipment (collective and
individual);
• Trained and identified chief of labour;
• Know the load to be moved;
• Mark out the safety zone;
• Do not use the telephone while driving.

28
During the manoeuvre, it is strictly forbidden:
• Move the load over the workstations;
• Use the equipment without specific training.

8.5. Periodic General Checks

Machines with annual or biannual periodic checks will be used. The HSE manager will
carry out regular inspections.
Reports of machine checks are kept by the equipment manager with a copy to the
HSE manager.

8.6. Care and maintenance

All machinery (fixed and mobile), including that of subcontractors, will be regularly
maintained and kept in good working order.

8.7. Signage, marking, access, lighting

8.7.1. Signalling
The presence of the works and the construction site rights of way are indicated. The
signs and their layout comply with the rules and good practices in force in this area.
8.7.2. Access
Entry to and exit from the rights of way are in forward gear. Truck accesses are
designed to avoid manoeuvring.
When lorries arrive or leave the site, which requires manoeuvring, a person in high-
visibility clothing helps the driver to manoeuvre safely for both road users and site
personnel. During the manoeuvre, visual contact between the driver and the
pedestrian is permanent.
Reverse driving must be exceptional (technical necessity) and assisted by a person
(pedestrian) equipped with high visibility clothing.
8.7.3. Beaconing
Depending on the case, two types of markings should be used:
• Light marking: (tape) to indicate a temporary low-risk area (cutting work, lifting,
etc.);
• Hard markings: (barriers, scaffolding elements, netting) to physically prevent
people from passing (e.g. hole in a deck, heavy handling, etc.).

8.8. Working at height

Risk: falling person or object
Preventive measures:
• Wearing a safety helmet;
• Wearing a safety harness;
• Marking of the work area;

29
 • Electrical lockout if working near potentially dangerous electrical installations.
• Ladder in conformity (presence of runners in good condition, rungs and
structure in good condition,...), hung (to be used only to access the work area);
• Platform, equipment and use in compliance;
• Authorisation to operate lifting equipment (permits will be issued prior to
handing over the work);
• Stable rolling scaffold with wheel lock;
• Use of stable stepladders equipped with a working platform surrounded by
railings;
• Authorisation to work at height;
• Recording in the work permit.
8.8.1. Scales
Ladders are primarily a means of access to equipment at a height and should not be
used instead of scaffolding, platforms or aerial work platforms, except for short-term
work.
• Use ladders in good condition, adapted (length) to the work to be done,
equipped with anti-slip systems;
• Check that the ladder is clean. No grease (e.g. grease);
• Secure the ladder at the top or place a person to hold the bottom of the ladder
for the duration of the operation;
• Use a ladder that is one metre higher than where you are climbing;
• Install a ladder at approximately 70°;
• Always climb up and down facing the ladder and hold on with both hands;
• Mount the equipment in a bag with a rope;
• Respect the 3-point rule.

8.9. Storage
Materials, equipment and waste will be stored in dedicated and purpose-built facilities.
8.9.1. Storage of flammable products
The storage of flammable products shall be carried out exclusively in appropriate
places equipped for this purpose. These places must be secured and equipped with
all the necessary fire prevention and fire fighting equipment.
Safety data sheets for the products will be displayed and clearly visible.
Finally, the actions and knowledge to be taken in the event of a fire will also be
displayed.

30
8.10. Loading and unloading
When loading or unloading, the truck must be stopped with the parking brake on and
the gear lever in neutral.
In case of slopes, chocks are used to complete the immobilisation. The engine is
stopped.
Personnel involved in loading or unloading must have the necessary training and
authorisation.
8.10.1. Fuel distribution
The person responsible for the management of the station (distribution point) will
ensure strict compliance with the relevant safety and environmental management
guidelines.
8.10.2. Lighting
Each work area will be sufficiently lit to provide a sense of visual comfort for all
operators.

8.11. Electricity
Electrical installations are designed, installed and maintained by qualified personnel.
The personnel are trained and have the appropriate authorisations.
All electrical cabinets are locked and padlocked (or equivalent). All work on electrical
equipment is carried out by an electrician.
The metal grounds are earthed.
Only electricians are authorised to work on an electrical installation.
An examination of the conformity of the electrical installations is carried out by an
approved body at the time of commissioning. This initial verification is the subject of a
report.

8.12. What to do in case of an accident on the project site

The right reflexes to cultivate in the event of an accident:
• In case of personal injury:
o Protecting the casualty;
o Call the first aider in the area, the nurse, the HSE manager who will call
for help;
o Helping the victim while waiting for help;
o After giving first aid, have the victim transported to hospital by the
competent services.
• In case of alarm:
o Do not panic;
o Take every precaution to ensure that the equipment is stationary and
safe;
o Go to the nearest assembly point.

CONCLUSION

Despite the significant positive impacts associated with the implementation of the
Adrar Emoles 3 Exploration Permit, the project will be a source of potential risks to the
health, safety and security of workers and neighbouring populations. The present
Health, Safety and Occupational Health Plan developed within the framework of the
said permit has made it possible to define the conditions necessary to ensure the
implementation of activities in complete safety. It concerns the provisions for rescue,
health and hygiene measures, safety measures and measures to prevent dangers.
In order to monitor the indicators linked to the implementation of the planned
measures, a Health, Safety and Security Action Plan has been drawn up based on the
following points: components, areas of measures to be implemented, objectives to be
achieved, monitoring indicators, person responsible for monitoring and frequency.
