1. INTRODUCTION

2. The purpose of this Samsung Engineering Co., Ltd. (SECL) Corporate Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Manual is to prevent any accidents or conditions that could result in injury, illness, and damage to SECL, subcontractors, owner, and any third-party personnel and property.

3. The heart of the HSE manual is the firm commitment by all members of SECL to prevent accidents and conditions that lead to injuries, damage the environment or result in loss or damage to property.

4. It is our philosophy that every accident is preventable, that zero accident is a realizable goal, and that we, as construction professionals, can be satisfied with nothing less.

5. Each employee must accept the responsibility and be held accountable for the safety performance of any activity under their direction.

6. LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT

7. SECL management (Directors, Project managers, Site managers, Department and Functional managers) are committed to designing, engineering, procuring, constructing, and commissioning in a manner that is uncompromising on issues of health, safety and environment.

8. Senior management of SECL will personally practice HSE leadership, demonstrate visible commitment to the project’s HSE policy and strategic objectives, and provide resources to foster a project culture that embraces and accepts nothing but optimal HSE behavior. This will include:

Developing, signing, distributing, and emphasizing the project’s HSE policy at the outset of the project;

Exercising leadership that exemplifies the fullest commitment to all aspects of health, safety, and environmental concern, both personally and from a corporate perspective;

Integrating HSE responsibilities through the implementation of the behavior-based HSE program, HSE leadership workshops, and HSE leadership behavior reviews;

Through management example and directive, endorsing and ensuring the incorporation of HSE considerations into all project decision making processes;

9. SUMMARY

10. The objective of this SECL Corporate Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Manual is to define the HSE Management System for planning, execution, evaluation and improvement for effective HSE Management and the safe execution of the work.

11. This Manual also contains the HSE Procedures necessary to assist Project Management in controlling HSE aspects during the Engineering, Construction and Commissioning activities.

12. Extracts from this manual will also provide assistance in the HSE Programme to be developed on site by members of the Project Management Team.

13. Although the Manual is intended to comprehensively define HSE aspects relating to the majority of the Engineering, Construction and Commissioning operations within the scope of SECL, this does not relieve persons in charge from their responsibility of identifying hazards and reducing risks by enforcing the necessary HSE Procedures.

14. Copies of this Corporate Manual will be issued to all Divisional Heads, Project Managers and HSE Managers.

15. SECL acknowledges the importance of establishing effective communication procedures on HSE throughout its organizational structure. Furthermore, it is Company Policy to encourage proposals from its employees on how to maintain and improve standards of HSE within the Companies work activities.

16. The Manual will be reviewed at regular intervals with the inclusion of all necessary amendments.

17. The SECL Head Office HSE Department will make revisions to this document and circulate them to all concerned.

18. SCOPE

19. This Corporate HSE Manual provides the nucleus for the development of the Project Specific HSE Manual and combined with the SECL Corporate HSE Policy, Site HSE Plan, the SECL Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) and SECL Occupational Health and Safety Management System form the complete HSE program for the evaluation, control and Management of all industrial and Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental risks during SECL’s Engineering, Construction and Commissioning activities.

20. OBJECTIVES

21. SECL will work to achieve appropriate sustainability objectives for the project and local environmental and social conditions and review the project design, construction, and start-up continuously against these sustainability objectives.

22. In view of these considerations, SECL has established specific objectives to be achieved, documented, and assessed on a continual basis. These objectives included the following:

Promote and proactively pursue the goal of zero incidents;

Minimize health risks to workers and local residents;

Comply with the environmental impact mitigation recommendations of the project’s EIS (i.e. Environmental Impact Statement) and develop/implement a mitigation program that minimizes environmental impacts.

Endeavor to satisfy government regulatory and legal requirements to the extent they are available and comply with Project Owner policies and procedures;

Undertake early and systematic identification of potential hazards across all disciplines and areas of exposure using standardized hazards analysis and hazards identification and protocols such as HEMP (Hazards and Effects Management Process) and HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study);

Record, track, and document all actions to mitigate identified hazards across all phases of project;

Emphasize design as the best preventative measure to reduce risk and adverse HSE effects;

Document consideration of measures to reduce risk to levels As Low As Reasonably Practicable (the ALARP principle);

Minimize to ALARP levels the consumption of materials, fuels, and energy and discharges of air emissions, effluents, and solid wastes (through waste minimization, reuse, recycling, design and operational controls, and consideration of life cycle costs in project material and equipment decisions);

HSE MANUAL

Develop appropriate sustainability objectives for the project and local environmental and social conditions and review the project design, construction, and commissioning continuously against these sustainability objectives;

Maximize the local staff involvement in developing and implementing the project’s HSE management system and facilitate HSE training through participation;

Ensure that the contractor selection process includes examination of Contractor historical HSE performance;

Emphasize the consistency and adequacy of contractor, vendor, and supplier HSE management systems;

Implement a behavior-based HSE program providing ownership and accountability of HSE by employees and workers;

Conduct regular senior management reviews and audits of the effectiveness of the HSE management system in fulfilling policy, objectives, and performance criteria; and

Use well-defined tools, procedures, and instructions for achieving the above.

23. The core principle of the SECL HSE management program for the contracted project is that HSE excellence will be fully integrated into all project planning and execution activities and decisions. In this way, SECL aims to achieve HSE performance that its participants can be proud of, earn the confidence of society at large, be a good neighbor, and contribute to sustainable development.
