6.4 Construction Equipment Safety Inspections

Check if items have to be added/removed

Each major item of construction equipment is subject to inspection by Company upon entering the site. Subject inspection will be a visual one with verification of the required documentation. The Company inspection in no way relieves the subcontractor from his responsibilities to only use equipment meeting the minimum criteria for safe application.

The inspection is performed to establish whether the equipment is in safe working conditions and equipped with the necessary safety accessories and devices. An up-to-date test certificate, if applicable, must be available.

Upon Company’s request equipment operators and drivers are obliged to show their permits and/or licenses required for operating such equipment. Passenger automotive vehicles include all automobiles, pickup trucks, vans, buses and the like. The required safety equipment or functions and the operational standards shall be in accordance with the legal requirements of the country of operation as well as any client requirements for operating such vehicles in a running plant.

6.5 EH&S Non-Conformances

In the event that subcontractor has not taken any or all necessary EH&S precautions and/or does not meet relevant requirements, the work shall be immediately stopped by the subcontractor EH&S Representative, Company or client staff. Work shall not be resumed until all requirements and precautions have been met.

If there is repetition of an unsafe condition by subcontractor or if a serious unsafe situation arises or if subcontractor repeatedly does not take all necessary precautions with respect to EH&S, the Company Safety Engineer will issue an "EH&S

Non-Conformance" (ref. 16.14) (check ref. no.) on the subcontractor. The Non-Conformance will state by when and by whom the non-conformance must be rectified. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against the subcontractor and/or subcontractor's personnel if the non-conformance has not been rectified in the time given.

Repeated violation of the site EH&S requirements by any personnel can lead to permanent removal of such personnel from the site.
