ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING
6.1
DEFENITIONS
An accident is an unexpected and unplanned event that disrupts the

normal flow of an activity or a process and may have resulted in bodily
injury or damage to property or equipment as well as the internal
procedure as defined in section 6. Accidents lower morale, waste
materials, and damage plants, impede progress and increase site costs.
Indirect costs can amount to as much as four or five times the cost of
compensation insurance. So when accidents happen, however minor, is to
be fully investigated in order to determine the cause and take necessary
measures to prevent recurrence of a similar event.
An accident/incident that occurs within a QATAR BUILDING ENGINEERING
COMPANY site involving personnel, subcontractors and visitors will be
immediately and thoroughly investigated and reported so that:
a. Prompt remedial action can be taken as appropriate to eliminate unsafe
practices and/or conditions.
b. Safety performance and accident trends can be analyzed from the
data.
Accident investigation should have the following objectives:
a To determine the sequence of events leading to the accident.
b. To deduce the reason(s) for the accident by analyzing each contributing
factor in sequence.
c. To draw conclusions which highlight the cause of the accident and
probability of recurrence?
d. To recommend remedial action.
e. To publish findings in a report distributed as appropriate.
It is the responsibility of the location supervisor to initiate the report and
the Safety
Department to investigate the accident as soon as practically possible.
Accident investigation and reporting will provide a systematic and
effective method for recording and investigating occupational illness and
work related accidents which have or could have caused injury, damage
or loss in order to identity causes for occupational illnesses, accidents and
prevent similar or associated occurrence in the future.
Project Manager is to be informed of any accident/incident occurring at
site and copied of accident report.

Page 37 of 90
SAFETY PLAN
a. Equipment
Equipment will be inspected and tested according to Contractors
preventative maintenance practices and all recognized standards.
During operation of these procedures, if items are found to be faulty,
they will be removed from service immediately. If they cannot be
repaired they will be removed from Site. Records will be kept to show
such action.
b. Insulation
During routine inspections and tests, the insulation of electrical items
will be checked. Where it is found to be damaged or incomplete the
item will be removed from service. All wiring will be insulated and
where there is a possibility of physical damage the wiring must be
further protected by metal conduits or armoring. Insulation will be
provided at all locations where it is possible for workers to come into
contact with live equipment.
c. Earthing
Earth cables will be tested for continuity and resistance to ensure that
they are effective for that particular application. Remedial action will be
taken where they
are found inadequate or ineffective. Until such remedial action is taken
the item of equipment will be taken out of service.
Earthing or bonding conductors must be of adequate cross-sections
area for the safe carriage of any expected fault current for the time it
takes the fuse to operate and disconnect the supply.
d. Isolation Procedures
Detailed as a part of the Permit to' Work System. Isolations are
intended to prevent accidental contact with live electrical equipment.
Work cannot officially be carried out on electrical systems until a
Competent
Person has indicated, in writing, on a work permit, that he has isolated
the
system by means of locks, using the lock out/tag out procedure. The
person
issuing the work permit must witness the isolation.
e. Work in the Vicinity of Live Equipment
All electrical systems will be labeled by signs indicating live systems.
Work adjacent to electrical systems will be subject to work permit
procedures, even where surrounding areas do not come under such
procedures.
Overhead power lines will be protected by warning barriers or
goal-posts".
These will be constructed of non-conducting material and will be clearly
visible.

f. Excavations
Excavations normally come under the permit to work system. Where
there are known or suspected underground services the work will be
regulated by the permit to work system.
The underground service will be uncovered by hand digging first. it will
then be clearly marked for the benefit of all workers especially machine
operators.
g. Unauthorized and untrained people
Job Safety procedures will indicate the duties of all workers involved.
Job supervision must be adequate to enforce procedures and guard
against
Unauthorized or untrained workers from performing certain tasks.
Workers will be instructed in how to recognize the tasks they are
authorized to undertake and to understand the possible consequences of
disregarding regulations.
8.10
PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM
QBEC personnel assigned to supervise works that are required to be

executed under permits shall attend the Permit To Work (PTW) systemtraining course as conducted and organized by RAS LAFFAN. Only those
people authorized and trained in accordance with PTW system may
supervise works that are to be permitted.
The objective of the PTW is to ensure that written permission and
authorization is given to carry out the defined work which is potentially
hazardous and that all possible measures are taken to maintain the safety
of the personnel and equipment that may be affected by the works.
A copy of the work permit must be given to the foreman, charge hand, or
supervisor (PTW certified) assigned to carry out the work for their
reference. It shall be displayed at the work location in the approved
permit holder.
Please refer to the PTW Procedure of the consultant.
8.11
EXCAVATION
Numerous underground services often exist on construction sites. In such

cases, refer to ' Buried Services'. All Greenfield sites should be checked
out to ensure no services pass within the area. Local plans should be
obtained from all utility units. For "Greenfield" areas, follow the general
requirements listed below;

thickness and weight and pile driving machines can be rigged/adapted
with different size "drophammers" to suit.
333404892.doc
Revision 12
Page 47 of 90
SAFETY PLAN
However while "driving" piles, machines become subject to extreme

"shock-loading" conditions, which cause "rapid" wear of moving parts,
hoisting mechanisms/ropes and leakage from couplings and hoses etc.
When a failure occurs there will be a very high risk of injury and damage
to surrounding plant, thus the need for constant inspection of machines by
trained personnel is crucial.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (CHECK-LIST)
a. Ensure that pile driving machines are in good working condition

accompanied by their relevant inspection/test certificates (thorough
examination is required every 12 months).
b. All hoses should be supported/tied to prevent "whip lashing" if a
connection breaks.
c. All fluid-lines should have "easy to reach" shut-off valves.
d. All sheaves/winch gear should be adequately guarded, to prevent
entanglement.
e. If underground services exist, refer to section -BURIED SERVICES.
f. Ensure that proposed working area ground conditions are firm/level.
g. Piling machine operators will have a "certificate of competence", or
other approved qualification. Supervisors, banksmen and slingers must
be trained and attired with safety helmets, safety boots, gloves and
hearing protection.
h. Piling machines must be equipped with a 6kg multi-purpose dry powder
fire extinguisher. When timber "driving spacers" are being used, a
bucket of water will be required for soaking/cooling purposes.
i. Ensure that piles are being stacked within easy reach of the piling
machines (one "leader" length is recommended) and that "tag lines"
are being used when piles are being lifted.
j. All other site personnel must be informed of the restrictions (piling
zones), appropriate barriers/signs to be observed and noise/hearing
protection requirements.
k. Check that piles are in good condition and that they have not been
"fractured" during transportation (damaged/fractured piles can
break-up or shatter when being lifted or "driven").
I. When pile driving commences, ensure that all workers are standing
well-clear.
m. When not in use, "drop-hammers" should be lowered to the ground.
n. Noise levels from piling may exceed the 85dba limit, all persons who
