The Site Manager must perform a site HSE tour on a weekly basis. The inspection consists of a walk around the site (typically not exceeding 1 hour). The Site Manager must be accompanied by the Site HSE Representative who will note any observations. Hazards must be dealt with quickly and on the spot, wherever practical.

Monthly in offices

Weekly at site / manufacturing facilities.

4.5.2 The responsible manager for each area of work must conduct an HSE Inspection of the work area. Opportunity should be given for worker representatives to be involved. These inspections must as a minimum, address the topics on the GPI standard inspection checklists, however, it is preferred that the site should create a checklist specific for their own needs.

4.5.4 The Site HSE Representative will support the area supervisors/workers representatives in this task. The Site EHS Representative must collate all the inspection reports after the inspection and review them.

4.6 Detailed HSE Assessment

The HSE Audit Protocol has been developed by HSC to evaluate the performance of HSE for all its sites. (Annexure A attached at the end of the Manual).

The Audit Protocol is broken down into 3 Chapters:

HSE management

Health & Safety

Environment which are broken down into several procedures.

The management level for each theme is evaluated by a score from 1 to 4.

The general design approach of the HSE Audit Protocol is the following:

Level 1: The unit failed to take action as per the requirement of the theme. The level is called “Lack of awareness”.

Level 2: Standards are established, the situation in relation with the theme is known. Corrective action developed. The level is called “Awareness” and the level is called as Managed below HAESUNG CONSTRUCTION, INC. Standard”.

Level 3: Implementation done as per the corrective actions developed as per requirement of the theme, this level is called “maintained at per “HSC Standard”

Level 4: Continuous improvement (proactive) is proved, HSE is included in the management, and practices in place are optimized and are subject to benchmarking which situates them above good engineering practice and standard practices in the theme. The level is called “Excellence/Best Practice”.

Scoring basis

Assessor should have reasonable confidence that required processes are in place.

It is the auditor’s role to recognize if missing information is not highly significant or if a criterion is missing due to a gap in the system.

Themes which are NOT ASSESSED shall be scored as N/A.

The score given for each chapter is the average of the theme’s scores.

Utilization & Frequency of Audit

The HSE audit protocol has been developed with the objective that it will become a tool for self-assessment as well as formal Assessments and a management tool for the improvement of the HSE, performance.

Each Unit will be assessed by an external evaluator at least once a year. Each unit should also make a its own assessment at least once a year as per Annexure A attached at the end of this manual.

Significance of the HSE audit score:

The score obtained by the unit/establishment will have a direct link to the overall performance of the unit & PROJECT.

5.0 Records:

Internal assessment records.

External assessment records.

GPI records.
