provided at site by the Client.Injured persons will initially be
provided with necessary first aid and will be sent to nearest
hospital depending on the severity of the injury.
FIRE PREVENTION & FIRE PLAN
AL TAGHTEIA CONTRACTING will ensure that its employees comply
with the Clients current fire prevention requirements at the
project site, by understanding the basics of fire risk, precautions
to prevent a fire and actions to take if a fire breaks out.
FIRE PREVENTION
The following points are normally considered: AL TAGHTEIA
CONTRACTING will ensure that adequate fire extinguishers of the
correct type are provided at site, if not already provided by the
Client. Adequate number of fire extinguishers will be installed and
maintained at site wherever there is a potential fire hazard. AL
TAGHTEIA CONTRACTING will ensure that the burning of waste, debris
or any other material on the site premises is prohibited. The
storage of flammable materials, chemicals, paints etc. will be in
accordance with the Clients fire prevention requirements, only in
areas clearly demarcated for the purpose. Any accidental fire
occurring on the premises will be reported to the Clients
representative immediately, and written report will be provided
within 48 hours, as per the standard site procedure. Special care
will be taken for hot works (welding and gas cutting). All the used
flammable liquid containers will be collected immediately and
brought back to a safe storage place as demarcated by the Client
and suitably disposed off. Flammable liquid containers will not be
left unattended at site without their lids. Hot Works (defined as
any work requiring burning, welding, brazing, portable grinders or
any other flame or spark producing equipment ) will be commenced by
AL TAGHTEIA CONTRACTING only after obtaining a written hot works
permit valid for a particular area. AL TAGHTEIA CONTRACTING will
ensure that all fire extinguishers in use at the project site will
have been serviced appropriately and will bear a label giving the
date of such service. Any used extinguisher will be recharged
immediately. Welding and flame cutting works will be carried out
only after taking the necessary precautions mentioned in the hot
work permit. Oxygen and acetylene cylinders will not be taken
inside any confined areas. The cylinders will be kept upright /
vertical always and will be prevented from accidental falling. They
will be stored separately in the designated storage area. All fuel
cylinders will be provided with flash back arrestors. Training on
the use of fire extinguishers will be conducted to all the
employees as a part of the induction session by the Client, in
addition to the initial basic training imparted to AL TAGHTEIA
CONTRACTING employees. Smoking will be totally banned at site.
FIRE PLAN:
In the event of an accidental fire, the following are
recommended: Stay calm and do not run. Sound the fire alarm or
inform others by shouting FIRE! and call the Safety Manager or
emergency services of the Client for immediate help. Attack the
fire with the fire extinguishers provided at the site, using them
as instructed. Arrange to remove all the flammable materials away
from the fire area if possible. In the event that the fire cannot
be extinguished or controlled, call Civil Defence Fire Department
on 997 Move away from the area of danger to the safe area Evacuate
the building only through stairs to the assembly point identified
for all personnel at ground level. Report to your group leader /
immediate supervisor at once on your safe arrival to the designated
assembly point for head count.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE
Emergency evacuation procedure in case of fire will be as per
the Clients procedure and will be reviewed periodically to suit the
site condition as the construction work progresses. In case of an
emergency due to a hazard at site, the warning sound of the whistle
/ siren will be a signal for all AL TAGHTEIA CONTRACTING personnel
to cease work at site. Mock evacuation drill will be conducted by
the Client at regular intervals as per need. Access to all works
areas will be kept free from obstruction at all times. Proper
directional signage will be provided to identify the location of
exits. All site personnel will be educated about the standard
evacuation procedures and assembly point locations during safety
induction by the Client.
ACTION IN THE EVENT OF MINOR INJURY ACCIDENT
In case of an accident in the vicinity of the work place, the
Supervisor and a representative of the Client will be immediately
informed. Drinks or food to the injured is to be avoided. Send the
injured person to the first aid room for treatment. Once the
injured is given first aid, shift him to a comfortable place, if
required. If the injury calls for external medical assistance, the
injured person shall be sent to nearest hospital immediately by
suitable means. Ensure that all concerned (Project Manager / Site
Engineer and the Clients Safety Officer are informed about the
incident. Assist the Safety Officer in investigating the accident
and to identify the root cause of the accident to prevent it in
future.
ACTION IN THE EVENT OF MAJOR INJURY ACCIDENT
If any serious accident occurs at the work place, the following
points are generally observed /adhered: Stay calm, do not panic.
Inform the Supervisor and Clients Site Safety Officer. Do not touch
the injured person if he has been electrocuted. If any material is
lying on the injured person, assist others in removing it. Do not
move the injured person unless it is very essential to do so as the
person may be hurt further by unnecessary movements. Move him only
if there is further risk of injury to the casualty at the scene of
accident. Do not crowd around the injured, blocking the flow of
fresh air in the area. Do not give any drinks or food to the
injured unless directed by competent persons.
