Excavators
Excavations are carried out using very specialized equipment that basically falls into two
categories: 1) fixed position machines, and 2) moving machines.
The choice of equipment to be used is determined by the size of the project, topography,
volume of earth to be hauled out and many other factors. Fixed position machines
include, but are not limited to, face shovels, backhoes, draglines and grabs. The fixed
excavator loosens the soil and loads from a stationary position. They are useful to
perform specific excavation tasks at a single location.
Their loss of mobility is compensated by the fact that greater force can be applied at the
excavation face. Moving machines include, but are not limited to, bulldozers, loaders,
Page 33 of 59
trailers and trenching machines. They remove, transport and deposit excavated material
all in one cycle of operation. They are used in applications where large volumes of earth
need to be moved over uneven ground. In this process, they also help to level the ground
over which they operate.
Operators of excavators must possess a valid Saudi Arab Government license for the
machine and a valid independent 3rd party Certification.
Outriggers must be fully extended when operating a mechanical excavator so fitted. An
attendant must be appointed and be available at all times during excavation to assist and

5.1
SBGs environmental policy is reproduced below from the Corporate Quality Manual.
SBG is committed to conducting all of its activities with the proper regard for the
environment in which we work. This not only means the prevention of pollution,
or its minimisation where prevention is impossible, but also compliance with our
contracts and all laws and legislation relating to the environment wherever we
conduct our business.
All of our construction and related activities are assessed for any adverse impact
on the environment and measures taken to control them, documented in method
statements on a project and in the Operations Plan for our offices and other
facilities. In addition, each project or facility is set targets to measure
performance against our policy and senior management regularly reviews these
with the aim of continual improvement of the system.
SBG is also committed to enhancing the environment where possible by the
minimum use of resources through the reduction or elimination of waste, the
recycling of waste and the use of appropriate technology. Accordingly, all
personnel are required to implement the environmental management system in so
far as it applies to their work and to contribute actively to its improvement during
the course of their duties.
5.2
6.0
6.1
The Project Manager will ensure that the Permanent Works are constructed such that
they have the minimal adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact
assessment will be performed on all aspects of the work described in each method
statement. The resultant Environmental Impact Statement, developed to eliminate the
impact or reduce it to a tolerable level, is included in the method statement and is
approved prior to the work commencing.
6.2
It is also SBGs policy that other activities on the project such as the plant workshop
and the workers site also adopt environmentally responsible work practices in
accordance with our environmental management system. Where appropriate,
environmental impact control programmers for standard activities will be issued to
assure compliance with our requirements.
E- 3
6.3
All work and support activities shall aim to avoid or reduce to a practical minimum
common pollution such as dust, noise, waste and gases such as NO (nitrogen oxides),
SO2 (sulphur dioxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide). To reduce air pollution to a minimum
there will be no unnecessary idling of vehicles.
6.4
All subcontractors appointed to construct the Permanent Works are assessed and
selected in accordance with general procedure on the basis not only of their capability to
meet both the quality requirements and the programme but also to meet acceptable
environmental standards and local legislation.
6.5
Each subcontractor is required to work in a way that is compatible with our system. A

On small scaffolds not extending above three lifts, adequate stability of the
scaffold can be achieved by rakers. The raker will be secured with right angle
couplers to the ledger at the second lift. The load in the raker will be distributed
through a base plate or if required a sole plate. The foot of the raker will be
tied back to the main scaffold. Rakers will be inserted at the same standard
spacing as ties.
Where a scaffold extends above three lifts, a well-braced buttress shall be erected
along the total length of the structure. The buttress shall be erected to a height
no lower than the third lift from the top of the scaffold. The scaffold will
then be raked back from the second top lift to the buttress, using right-angled
couplers.

and treatment for the various forms of heat stress.
6.0
PROCEDURE
There are several health hazards associated with excessive exposure to heat and sun.
Recognize the effects of the following heat exposures:
Heat Cramps
This is a result of the loss of salt in the working muscles, usually a part of heat
exhaustion.
Acclimatize yourself during hot weather and consume lots of water, juice, or a sport
drink before work. Other drinks like Coke, Tea and Coffee contain caffeine, which
if consumed in excess amounts, also accelerates fluid loss in the urine.
Heat Exhaustion
This is caused by the excessive loss of body fluids from sweating. The individual
sweat which causes dehydration and the symptoms are dizziness, become nauseated
or very tiered. Rest and plenty of water usually produce quick recovery to this
common heat ailment.
Heat Stroke
This is the most serious hot weather health problem. The individuals tolerance to
heat stops. The individual has hot, dry skin with a high core temperature, chills, and
mental confusion. If the individual is not cooled off quickly, the result can be brain
damage or even death. The individual with a medical history of heat stroke is more
likely to have a recurrence under the same conditions.
Ensure workers are acclimatized to the heat.
Provide shelters where workers can find shade and protection from direct sunrays.
Provide periodic water breaks where workers can drink before, during and after
work.
Establish a work regimen where workers can be rotated, allowing short rest periods
to prevent harmful effects due to Heat.
Categorize the work load as the type of work being performed.
Light supervising,
Medium regular work
Heavy digging, concrete work welding and grinding
Provide water access in strategic points that are accessible to the worker.
Establish access points to water for workers that are working at heights.
Supervisors must monitor their work force by looking for signs of dehydration,
especially in older persons or workers that have health problems.
If possible, regulate work hours where exposure to high heat will not be during
peak heat hours.
K-3
Preventative measures:
Employees shall have access to cool potable water at their place of work Water
coolers shall be provided for all crews.
Shaded areas shall be provided for rest periods and instructions given to workers
that resting adjacent to, or under plant and equipment is strictly prohibited.
First Aid equipment provided on site shall include treatment for dehydration e.g.
electrolytes.
General
All of the above conditions must be reported to the medical center and treated as
soon as possible. Medical staff or first aiders will send regular communiqus on the
subject of heat stress and inform management of any concerns. The contents of this
procedure will be communicated and emphasized to site supervision during training
sessions and at the contractors regular HSE meetings.

system that causes sweating. Body temperature rises so high that brain damage and death will
result if the person is not cooled quickly.
Typical symptoms are red, hot, dry skin, although the person may have been sweating earlier;
nausea; dizziness; confusion; extremely high blood pressure, rapid respiratory and pulse rate;
unconsciousness or in a coma.
The casualty must be cooled down and medical attention sought immediately, with the patient
transported to the clinic for treatment.
Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is a state of very definite weakness or exhaustion caused by the loss of
fluids from the body. This condition is much less dangerous than heat stroke, but must be
treated early on to prevent eventual deterioration to heat stroke.
Typical symptoms are pale, clammy, moist skin, profuse perspiration, and extreme weakness. Body
temperature is normal, pulse is weak and rapid, and breathing is shallow. The person may have
a headache, may vomit, and may be dizzy.
Remove the casualty from the heat, provide plenty of fluids to drink and allow rest.
Heat Cramps
Heat cramps are caused by perspiration that is not balanced by adequate fluid intake. Heat cramps
are often the first sign of a condition that can lead to heat stroke.
Typical symptoms are acute painful spasms of voluntary muscles; e.g. abdomen and extremities.
The casualty should drink plenty of water if the problem is too much salt due to sweat not
being replaced by drinking water. If the problem is a lack of salt (this is usually the case
when the person has been working for a long time in a heavy protective suit) a commercially
available carbohydrate-electrolyte replacement liquid should be given.
Heat Rash
Heat rash is caused by continuous exposure to heat and humid air and aggravated by chafing
clothes. The condition decreases the ability to tolerate heat.
Typical symptoms are a mild red rash, especially in areas of the body in contact with protective
clothing. Expose the affected skin to allow cooling and drying.
