LBC Project HSE Plan, Ewekoro Deep excavation > 1m depth Ground penetration When working beside or nservices Piling Including sheet piling for soil stabilization Hot works Work producing heat or sparks Confined space entry Entering into and working in a confined area Scaffolding Erection, dismantling, modification of scaffoldings Elevated Formwork Slips form, floor casting Critical rebar placement Silo bases, tunnels, massive concrete foundations and other Lafarge designated structures Radiogra

phy Activities involving radioactive sources Night work Special authorization isrequired for any night shift activities.

As a principle, a Permit to Work will be associated to each specific and clearlyidentified highrisk task. A Permit to Work will be a written and formal document, which authorizes certain people to carry out a specific work at a certain time and place, and defines the precautions to be taken before allowing work to star. WAH Permits to Work must follow the required Lafarge format detailed in the WAH Standard attached to this document. As a consequence, any Permit to Work willhave to include a related method statement and a risk assessment. No PTW will be validated without them. Submission to the Lafarges representative of task requiring Permits to Work are required one week ahead of the schedule time to executi

on. Failure to comply with this requirement can delay the work and all impacts are at the PWs expenses. The Permit to Work will be issued by PW and will need tobe countersigned by the Lafarge representative, for the task to be authorized. PWs supervisor responsible for the execution of the task, must check that the workis implemented in compliance with the conditions of the Permit to Work and thatthese conditions have not changed. Any changes must be captured on a new Permitto Work, approved by Lafarge, and communicated all personnel involved with thetask before work is allowed to continue. Lafarge have the right and will routinely check the Permit to Work. If conditions detailed in the permit are not beingfollowed, Lafarge has the right to stop the related task. A copy of the permit/procedure, risk assessment and method statement must always be posted in a weatherproof folder (provide by PW) at location of the work in order to allow Lafargeand PWs team to check it. Duration of a Permit to work: The maximum duration of a

permit-to-work is one week unless authorized by Lafarge in writing.

Page 26 of 55


27/56

LBC Project HSE Plan, EwekoroAt minimum, a carbonized triplicate system (3 copies of the permits to work) orsimilar Lafarge approved system should be utilized. 2.2 Method Statement

A method statement details the way a work task or process is to be completed. The method statement should also outline the hazards involved, and include a stepby step guide as to how to do the job safety, leading to the risk assessment pro

cess for each task. The method statement must also detail which control measureswill need to be introduced to ensure the safety of anyone who is affected by the task or process. PW must produce method statements for all major constructionactivities. These method statements are mandatory for any works that have a highrisk rating and for all activities presenting a potential risk for safety of personnel as listed in Chapter 2.1. Lafarge reserves the right to request a methodstatement for any task they believe requires this level of review. The method statement shall be reviewed and approved by all concerned parties within the PWs organization and signed by its Safety Manager. It will then be submitted to the Lafarge Site Manager for comments and approval. Related work must not be startedbefore the method statement is approved by Lafarge.

PW is also responsible to check that actual operations follow the method statement and to inform Lafarge in case of any changes. When there is a need for a deviation from the agreed to method, the work must be stopped and PW and Lafarge must meet to review and approve the changes. Afterwards PW may recommence the workprovided all safety requirements and associated documentation is in place. Onceapproved, the method statement must be strictly implemented and followed; any deviation must be discussed and approved by Lafarge before any changes can be made. During the course of the work, if further activities arise and are identifiedas having HSE risks, method statements must also be developed for these activities before the work continues. Safety work method statements must be attached toor incorporated into the associated site Health and Safety plan and be kept up to date for review by Lafarge at any time. All parties involved in the work mustalso be notified of any changes before the change can be implemented.

PW shall providea Lafarge approved communication system before any crane would be used on site.The area around the crane and under the path of a crane load must be roped-offwith white and red streamers or other approved methods. Crane outriggers must rest on firm ground, adequate for the load. If the supporting ground for the craneis soft, the lift shall not be made without properly applied crane mats or steel plates. No lift shall be made if the crane is not on level ground. Crane cables and slings must conform to all country and local regulations and must be inspected routinely as required by Lafarge. All cranes must be fitted with operational anti-two blocking safety systems. All cranes must be fitted and equipped with

functioning load indicators. All cranes must be fitted and equipped with levelling systems. All cranes must be equipped with proper pads to distribute the stabilizer loads. For heavy or critical lifts, no lift will be attempted when the wind speed is over 30 KPH and care must be taken where wind speeds over 15KPH are present. All loads must be supervised by only by competent certified riggers. Crane operators and riggers must undergo and pass a medical examination to confirmthey are medically fit for the tasks. Eye tests must be completed for any craneoperator and rigger. All riggers and Tower crane operators must also be checkedfor Vertigo, High Blood pressure, and other ailments that could affect their work.PW shall submit a list of the tests he plans to perform on crane operators andriggers to Lafarge for review and approval before the start of any lifting operations. The areas below operating cranes, including lift and swing radius areaswill be clearly defined and marked. Any drop zones must be established and cordo

ned off prior to any lift. Any personnel not related to the lift activity must be removed from these areas during the lift. Crane activities will be suspended in the event of poor weather conditions. Cranes shall be evaluated for aircraft flight pattern issues and identified, as needed, with flagging and/or beacon. Inthe event of the use of a crane PW submit a documented crane plan before utilizing any crane on site. The crane plan must be reviewed and approved during the preConstruction Safety Review. A daily documented safety inspection shall be completed and maintained for each crane and made available for review by Lafarge whenrequested. No lifting shall be made that exceeds 90 percent of the manufacturesrated capacity of the crane, as indicated on the cranes capacity (load) chart(s).Crane load charts specific to the crane must be available inside the crane operators cab or the crane must be immediately taken out of service.Page 40 of 55

LBC Project HSE Plan, Ewekoro A communications system acceptable to Lafarge must be developed for multiple crane operations. When two cranes are working in the same area, a procedure must also be submitted explaining the method of coordination to be used between the cranes to ensure any possibility of a collision is prevented. Mobile cranes are only to be used with outriggers fully extended and tyres off the ground unless manufactures recommendations allow other means. If the full range of motion of the li

ft is not visible to the operator, a signal man or radio communicator must be provided. All loads shall have a tag line attached to the load when possible. Mustbe designed and engineered by competent person with a professional licence specific for that activity. Must be installed by competent personnel. Must be inspected and approved for use by a person in accordance with requirements and frequency stipulated by the local laws and regulations. Must be certified as fit for the use intended by a competent person. Must be load tested after full assembly. Must meet all specified rigging and safety requirements. Must be periodically inspected in line with the cranes maintenance plan and any related local or countryregulations. Minimum inspection periods cannot exceed one month.Slings, Rigging and Lifting Equipment:

Qualified and properly certified riggers will only be allowed to rig material orequipment to be lifted by a crane. All slings, rigging and lifting equipment will be inspected in accordance with British standard, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.552 or equ

ivalent standard as approved by Lafarge. All wire rope slings must be factory manufactured and certified by a competent authority. No handmade or hand woven slings shall be utilized on any Lafarge site. All slings must be tagged to indicatetheir lifting capacity. All slings, rigging and lifting equipment shall be inspected by a qualified person (as the term qualified person is defined by OSHA), daily before each use. A colour coded tagging system must be used for the inspections and tracking of the slings. All slings, lifting tackles and shackles shall beinspected every 3 months. All Slings must be tagged and colour coded to indicate that they have passed inspection and are permitted for use. If any slings arefrayed or have red strings showing that they were overstressed, they will be taken out of service. If the slings show signs of any heat related stress, they will be taken out of service. Wire rope rigging will be checked for broken wires orstrands, bird caging, flat spots, burn marks, or melting. If any of these conditions are found, they will be taken out of service. All rigging equipment shallhave the safe lifting capacity displayed by means of a tag or other marking. Lifting equipment such as shackles, manufactured spreader bars, chain falls or comea-longs will be inspected for any type of distortion, cracking of the metal andany flat or worn spots. If any of these are found the equipment will be removedfrom service.

LBC Project HSE Plan, Ewekoro PW shall be required to submit to Lafarge professionally engineered drawings ofany field fabricated spreader bars or lifting devices. These devices must be designed or approved by a Professional Engineer and must be inspected and certifiedprior to use. (Including welding inspection, load testing and load calculation). PW is required to ensure that any lifting lugs, pick points, slings and lifting devices are in good condition and robust enough for the intended load. All sli

ngs or cables must be used in a way to ensure the handling of the load will occur without any risk potential spillage. A signal-man must be on hand when movingloads with slings or cables and the whole area must be roped off. All loads mustbe lifted vertically if possible. If a skewed lift cannot be avoided, there shall be a presence of a PW supervisor managing it and taking all possible specialprecautions. Taglines must be provided and utilized where possible to guide andcontrol loads. Sling must be protected against any sharp edges to avoid damage.Synthetic Slings should be used to lift steel or other equipment if the paint could be damaged. PW shall be able to provide copies of certification for any lifting and rigging equipment. All clips and shackles must be installed properly inaccordance with best practices. The riggers must be capable of properly assessing the loads, determine the proper type of slings, shackles and related tackle re

quired. They must also be able to determine the centre of gravity of the load, assess the weight of the load, the lifting capacity of the sling and accessoriesdepending upon the type of lifting method utilized. All winches must be anchoredin position, properly. Any pulleys or sheaves must be secured safely. All lifting wire rope must be regularly inspected and be replaced if the strands of the wire rope are found to be damaged. All inspections must be completed by competent, certified persons.
