Attention : Mr. Roderick Jacobs – Contractor’s Representative

Subject : Sub-Clause 4.8 [Health and Safety]- Emergency Preparedness and


Response Plan - Rain Contingency Measures

Dear Sir,

The Employer herewith highlights the increased likelihood of adverse weather events which
could potentially be experienced in the region. The safety of the Contractor’s Personnel and
the mitigation of any potential impacts to the Project is of paramount importance.

The Employer’s Requirements in this regard are prescribed by RSG procedure RSG-HS-
ADM-0007_Emergency Preparedness and Response Procedure, which requires Contractors
to prepare specific site Emergency Preparedness and Response Procedure as well as RSG
procedure RSG-HS-GEN-0003_RSG Contractor Health and Safety Requirements, clause
6.4 Emergency Response and Planning.

We highly recommend the following safety measures:

1. Monitor weather updates: Stay informed about severe rainstorms by monitoring local
weather updates from Civil Defense.

2. Secure the Site: It's important to secure loose materials, equipment, and tools before the
storm arrives. Any materials that could be picked up by strong winds and become hazardous
flying objects should be stored or tied down. Special precautions are necessary for materials
stored on top of the cliffs and materials stored near the ocean. All materials in these areas
should be relocated. Whenever possible, avoid stocking materials in those areas. To avoid
material damage, it's best to avoid stocking material in lower zones and in contact with the
ground.

2239 Al Urubah Rd - Al Olaya Dist. – Floor 58, Kingdom Tower, Unit No. 9640 Riyadh 12214 – 9597 - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
3. Brief Contractor’s Personnel: Conduct a safety briefing with all workers to inform them
about potential risks and the necessary precautions to be taken. Emphasize the importance
of personal safety and ensure everyone understands the safety guidelines. In case of a flood
on the site, it is important to take necessary actions to ensure everyone's safety.

4. Temporary shutdown: In the event of severe rainstorms, it is advisable to shut down


operations, particularly if high winds or flooding are expected. This measure will eliminate the
risks associated with ongoing construction activities and contribute to the overall safety of
personnel and equipment.

5. Evacuation plan: Establish an evacuation plan in case of emergencies, such as sudden


flooding and high winds. Ensure that all workers are briefed on the plan, including designated
evacuation & pick-up points and emergency contact information. Make sure that the
contractor has a designated emergency standby team (this team should have supervision,
labour, electrician, and plumper’s – a minimum, but not limited to). Make sure that all
personnel know where to go in case of a serious event.

6. Working at height activities, scaffolding, and lifting: Ensure that scaffolding and cranes
are properly secured and stabilized before the storm. Strong winds can greatly impact their
stability and cause serious risks if they collapse or become dislodged. In the event of severe
wind or rain, it's important to halt any activities that involve working at heights. Additionally,
it's essential to ensure that all tower cranes are parked in a free-swing position.

7. Adequate drainage: Maintain proper drainage pathways on the site to prevent water
accumulation and flooding. Clear any debris that may obstruct rainwater flow. Ensure that
contractors have standby pumps on-site to evacuate or remove water if necessary. Check
that all pumps are properly working and physically present on the site. In case of emergency,
it is advisable to have water bowsers available on standby.

8. Personal protective equipment (PPE): Ensure all workers have appropriate PPE, such
as waterproof clothing, non-slip boots, and protective eyewear.

9. Barriers and warning signs: Establish visible barriers and warning signs near potentially
hazardous areas or where construction activities have been suspended. This will help prevent
unauthorised access to these areas and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

10. First aid and emergency response: Keep first aid kits readily available on the site and
ensure that workers are trained on basic first aid procedures. Additionally, establish
communication channels (2way radios, SAT phones) and assign a safety officer responsible
for promptly reporting any accidents or emergencies to the RSG delivery teams.

11. Electrical: check all electrical installations to make sure that all cables, DBs and
generators are properly isolated/protected. Ensure proper cable management and avoid
electrical cables on the ground. Check if all earthing/grounding is as per the requirements.

Remember, safety should always be a top priority during severe weather conditions. To keep
everyone safe, it is important to adhere to all local regulations and guidelines regarding
construction site safety.

2239 Al Urubah Rd - Al Olaya Dist. – Floor 58, Kingdom Tower, Unit No. 9640 Riyadh 12214 – 9597 - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The Contractor shall prepare an Emergency Response Plan for the project for review by RSG
to verify the suitability and capability of its emergency response arrangements. The
Emergency Response Plan shall be revised, whenever necessary, and updated every 6
months. The plan shall be audited periodically to ensure compliance with the standards.

The Contractor holds the responsibility of ensuring that their employees are aware and
understand what actions to take and when to take them in the event of an emergency. The
Contractor must provide their employees with the necessary information, instruction, and
training to enable them to respond appropriately in such situations. This requirement is
essential to ensure that the employees are fully equipped to respond to emergencies
adequately.

Yours sincerely.

Contractor Health and Safety Requirements

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to establish Red Sea Global (RSG) contractual requirements for the Contractor’s management of
health and safety on site. These contractual requirements form the minimum acceptable safety-related administrative standards and
are intended to supplement, not replace, the Contractor’s own safety programs.

This document aims to promote and enforce high standards of health, safety and welfare and is to be used on all programs as a
minimum requirement. It provides the Contractor with general guidance on RSG health and safety standards and requirements, which
are aimed at reducing and/or eliminating incidents or accidents. This document also guides the Contractor in the development of their
Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan (CPHSP).

This document shall apply to all Developers, Consultants, Contractors, Sub-contractors, and other third-party delivery partners and
suppliers working in accordance with RSG organizational framework and is issued in accordance with RSG Health and Safety Leadership
Policy (RSG-HS-PLC-0001), HSMS and all applicable legislation and regulations.

1.2 Scope
RSG is fully committed to a strong Health and Safety Program that protects its staff, its property, stakeholders, and the public from
accidents. Every employee is entitled to work under the safest conditions possible and, as such, every reasonable effort shall be made
in the interest of accident prevention, fire protection, and health, safety, and environmental preservation. RSG requires its employees
as well as consultants and contractors working on RSG project to adhere to the company’s standards of practice for health and safety.

Health and safety preservation and public safety are a core value equal in importance with productivity, quality, and ethical
standards. No employee, Consultant, Contractor, or any third party working on any RSG program shall be expected, or knowingly
allowed, to work in a manner which contravenes the intentions and the spirit of RSG’s Health and Safety Program, or in contravention
of any local regulation, code or legislation.

The Health and Safety Program is developed to protect valued human resources and reduce costs associated with accidents,
including employee injuries, property damages, and accidents involving the public and the environment.

RSG is committed to working in a spirit of consultation and cooperation with all Contractors. Furthermore, RSG recognizes and
respects that worker have rights to Refuse, the Right to Know, the Right to Participate, and the Right to Work, without being
subjected to discriminatory action.

Compliance to the provisions of this document does not in any way relieve the Contractor from their responsibility to comply with all
other RSG policies, procedures, specific contractual health and safety requirements, and the governing laws and regulations in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these regulations and that of any other legally
binding documents pertaining to the same provision, the most stringent requirement shall prevail. Furthermore, where reference
has been made in the Contractor H&S Requirements to another document, the latest approved version of that document shall apply.
The Contractor and their sub-contractors shall be contractually required to deliver, as far as reasonably practicable, the requirements
set out in this document and other associated standards.

2 HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY AND STRATEGY


2.1 Health & Safety Leadership Policy
RSG leadership understands and is personally committed to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all its employees,
service providers and stakeholders. Our aspiration is to create an Incident and Injury Free environment for all those who work on or
interact with our business operations. Our policy integrates with our values to provide and maintain safe and healthy workplaces and
communities for all stakeholders, including the general public, employees, partners, supply chain and those who may be affected by
our undertakings.

RSG leadership has made a commitment to Health & Safety as our priority, which will not be compromised to further commercial,
financial or operational gain. We believe in exceptional levels of performance in protecting people and the environment. Every
incident is preventable, as safety is first in all our business undertakings and decisions. Every employee is responsible for the safety
of themselves and those they work with. We strive to actively demonstrate our commitment to these values and to help our
colleagues to achieve safe outcomes in everything we do.
This policy has been developed to demonstrate the organization’s commitment towards Health & Safety and will strive to achieve the
following.

• Ensuring visible and demonstrated commitment from leadership is at the forefront of all activities.

• Providing the appropriate resources, and ensuring all employees are trained and competent to fulfill this policy.

• Endeavoring to have zero work-related injuries or illness to employees as a result of our activities.

• Establishing SMART objectives and aggressively pursuing every opportunity towards continual improvement of our
Health & Safety Management System.

• Fulfilling legal requirements by complying with all local KSA laws and decrees and adopting health and safety
international best practices.

• Developing an uncompromising safety culture where our people embrace ownership of the safety of themselves and
others.

• Ensuring its leaders adopt and model appropriate behaviors and champion health and safety efforts by employing
risk management techniques to effectively control unacceptable risk to safety.

• Recognizing and celebrating outstanding contributors to our success in achieving excellence in Health and Safety
performance

2.2 Mobile Device Usage Policy


The purpose of this policy is to reduce the risk of injury, either directly or indirectly, when using mobile devices. There are several
dangers associated with using mobile devices. They can visually or mentally distract users preventing them from staying vigilant and
aware of the dangers in the surrounding area, which puts the user at risk. In addition, the use of mobile devices can distract
drivers/operators of vehicles putting other workers in the area at risk. Restricting the use of mobile devices, including hands-free
devices by drivers and operators, will increase the level of concentration and safeguard our workforce.

While walking on a project site, personnel should avoid using mobile devices, i.e. making a call, sending a text, etc. If there is a need
to make or receive a call while on site, or to use your mobile device for any other purpose, the person should stop and find a safe
area to do so. Distracted walking can be just as dangerous as distracted driving when walking on an active construction site.

The Red Sea Global rules contained within this Mobile Device Policy are in line with international best practice and comply with local
regulatory requirements.

• Under no circumstance is anyone allowed to use a mobile phone or other mobile device while driving a vehicle and
performing work activities on behalf of Red Sea Global, or at any Red Sea Global Project site; this includes the use of
handsfree systems.

• The use of mobile phones or mobile devices is not permitted while operating any construction equipment, this includes but
is not limited to heavy earth moving equipment, aerial work platforms, dump trucks, forklifts, etc., this includes the use of
handsfree systems.

• The use of a mobile device is allowed for navigation purposes only. When using a mobile device for navigation, the user
must input the location before beginning the journey and secure the device in a holder to ensure the user’s eyes remain on
the road. Holding a mobile device in your hand for navigation purposes is prohibited.

RSG Health and Safety Leadership Policy (RSG-HS-PLC-0001) and Mobile Device Usage Policy (RSG-HS-PLC-0002) are
communicated to all employees and stakeholders and are available to our visitors, the public and other interested parties. It will be
reviewed annually to ensure it is appropriate and relevant to our values and commitments. It will be reviewed annually to ensure
that it remains relevant to the organization.

2.4.2 H&S Pillar II - Seven Health and Safety Management Philosophies

All Contractors and its sub-Contractors and suppliers are to adopt and visibly demonstrate the following seven health and safety
management philosophies and embed them into the culture of their respective project organizations and construction activities:

STEWARDSHIP
Making sure you and everyone in your team goes home safely
We all have the responsibility to ensure best health and safety business practices are encouraged, supported
and followed to ensure at the end of the day, every employee makes it home safely to their families.

IF NOT ME THEN WHO?


It’s not my job! Yes, it is. Everyone has a certain level of responsibility for health and safety. Do not expect
others to take necessary action when you should or can do it.

DON’T WALK BY!


If you observe a health and safety hazard, just don’t walk by and expect someone else to deal with it. Take
the time to address the hazard, and if you cannot, then report it immediately to someone who can. Do not
walk away until you are certain the issue has been addressed or is being addressed.

TRACK – TO SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK


Utilize TRACK to assist you through the process of developing safe systems of work. Think Through the Task;
Recognize the Hazards; Assess the Risks; Control the Risks; Keep Health and Safety First in all Things

STOP WORK AUTHORITY


All employees, service providers, Contractors and visitors have the authority and obligation to stop any activity
or task that is unsafe. Once the activity or task has been stopped, report it to the proper manager

REPORT INCIDENTS
All incidents, no matter how minor shall be reported immediately to their immediate supervisor. Reporting
incidents including near misses shall be encouraged and no one should feel threatened to report incident.

CLEAN AS YOU GO!


Housekeeping is one of the single most fundamental elements of any health and safety programme. We do
not encourage cleaning at the end of the day or week, but clean as you go to ensure sites are maintained at
all times.

Contractor Health and Safety Requirements
2.4.3 Pillar III - Ten (10) Life Crucial Health and Safety Rules

To ensure the protection of the health and wellbeing of all projects related staff is safeguarded, the Contractor in partnership with
the project-wide stakeholders, Consultants, Sub-contractors shall abide by RSG Ten (10) Life Crucial Health and Safety Rules with zero
deviation, which are as follows:

1) Work at Height – Falls and being struck by a dropped object are among the top causes of workplace injuries and fatalities in
construction.

2) Trucks and Heavy Equipment – The majority of truck and heavy equipment fatalities involved ground personnel being crushed
or run over.

3) Light Vehicle Operation – Vehicle fatalities are on the rise and distracted driving is the leading cause.

4) Marine Activity – Marine infrastructure ranks as one of the most hazardous occupations in construction. Water, waves,
weather all pose additional conditions and can change quickly.

5) Cranes and lifting – Do not position under or near a suspended load.

6) Trenching and Excavation – Cave-ins can be fatal. A cubic meter of dirt can weigh as much as a small car.

7) Electrical Work – Arc flash can produce temperature equal to the sun’s surface. Don’t risk injury or death. De-energize
equipment before performing work.

8) Hazardous Energy Control – Most incidents occur due to improper energy isolation and inadequate verification. Always verify
that systems are de-energized prior to starting work.

9) Material Handling – Serious injuries can result when materials are stored improperly. Be aware of body placement and
potential movement.

10) Confined Space Entry – Two-thirds of all confirmed space fatalities involve untrained personnel attempting rescue. Never
attempt a rescue without appropriate training and equipment.

All Contractors and their subsequent supply chain will be audited against their adherence and implementation of RSG’s ‘Ten Life
Crucial Health and Safety Principles.’

3 HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT APPROACH

3.9 Health and Safety Performance


RSG will develop a number of both leading and lagging KPIs. The use of both leading and lagging KPIs will provide a balanced
scorecard, thereby helping RSG to understand health and safety performance in relation to strategic goals and objectives.
Health and safety performance indicators of the Contractor will be monitored and measured by RSG through the use of custom H&S
dashboards and digital health and safety software systems. A programme-wide performance monitoring system is a critical tool of
the programme controls process to develop, disseminate, and integrate timely and accurate performance information. It allows for a
disciplined approach to analysing and adjudicating competing operational requirements, communicating a common plan, and
enabling overall programme information flow. It also facilitates accurate predictive analysis for early and decisive corrective actions
needed to deliver a programme which meets the overall vision and objectives.

The collected data and performance appraisals will be used by RSG to form a database of information from which all reporting can be
produced. This will enable RSG to generate reports and performance dashboards at various levels of granularity as required – from
very specific project performance against a unique target, to aggregated programme-level performance against a theme or in total.
The information, monitoring data, performance reporting requirements, and templates mentioned in the following sections will form
part of the performance monitoring system, thus they are subject to updating or amendment once the overall performance
monitoring and reporting system is defined.

The identified KPIs will allow RSG to the monitor, support, and target both programme and project performance. The KPIs may
change and be updated as needed by RSG

The identified KPIs will be monitored by RSG through the reporting mechanisms, audit, and inspections. The information will be
provided to the RSG Senior Management team and the various health and safety representatives. RSG will use this information for
setting priorities and actions for continual improvement
