1.0- INTRODUCTION:
The Health, Safety, Environment and Security (HSE&S) Handbook is designed to provide necessary information
to guide and assist employees and their supervisors to implement and maintain safe working practices.
HSE plan is aimed to improve the overall management and coordination of health, the safety and environment
through the construction various phases to eliminate or reduce the accidents or ill‐health environmental
accidents occurrence.
Glassline strives to provide the safest environment possible both for all its employees and the people they
serve. In order to uphold the goal of keeping our workplace safe and healthful for our staff Glassline have
implemented this safety policy all over their projects and factories.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
This manual will describe Glassline plan to encounter any chance of accidents on the One Tower project and to
show the preventive actions to be adopted by all the construction team to avoid any accidents and to keep the
working site healthy and clean.
Since the façade installation is done on high places and handling the glass or GRC panels requires special care
due to the breakage and increased incidents risks Glassline workforce uses special personal protective
equipment to avoid and accidents.
Below PPE are essential to be worn by all personal on site at all times:
While working on high places and installing glass heavy panels workers should wear the below additional PPE:
In an office, workshop, or on site, you should observe the following HSE&S rules:
‐ Lookout for hazardous conditions and report them immediately. It is everyone’s responsibility.
‐ Familiarize yourself with the fire drill and evacuation procedures.
‐ Always escort visitors, making them aware of the HSE&S procedures, and guide them to the designated
assembly points in case of emergency evacuation.
‐ Wear the proper clothing and use the personal protective equipment necessary for your job.
‐ If you are uncertain about how to do the job, ASK your supervisor.
‐ Respect all security arrangements on the premises.
‐ Report all minor accidents and seek immediate first aid for the most minor injury. Know whom to contact if
someone is injured.
‐ Report ALL accidents immediately.
‐ Observe all warning and hazard notices.
‐ Remember site untidiness is a significant cause of accidents.
‐ Be tidy in your work, Clean up after yourself daily.
‐ Work ONLY in accordance with the requirements of any Permit to work procedure that is being applied.
‐ Don’t smoke in non-smoking areas.
‐ Don’t overload electrical supplies and appliances.
‐ Observe all speed limits and traffic controls.
‐ Don’t climb, sit or stand on unstable materials. Use stepladder.
‐ Don’t play practical jokes and indulge in horseplay. Such behaviour often leads to serious accidents.
‐ Maintain cleanliness while using the toilet and welfare facilities.
‐ Walk-don’t run-always look where you are going.
‐ Use personal protective equipment provided, as required.
‐ Take care when you are lifting. Keep a straight back and get a secured hold. If in doubt seek help.
‐ Don’t leave material or equipment in access ways or exits.
‐ ALWAYS read and follow the instructions given on containers and on Material Safety Data Sheets. If
misused some contents can be hazardous to health.
‐ NEVER wedge open fire doors. Always keep them closed.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Our Health, Safety & Environment Policy is based on and supported by the following eight
Principles:
Implementation Responsibility
The Management of Glassline at all levels is responsible for the implementation of the HSE Policy. Every Unit,
Workplace, Site shall prepare a responsibility matrix with respect to this Policy. Such HSE responsibilities shall
form an integral part of the overall job responsibilities of all employees. All Standards, Rules and Procedures on
HSE, including those that may be specific to a site are integral to this Policy. All employees are required to
strictly adhere to them and ensure their proper implementation.
This section summarizes the main requirements for controlling and supervising site activities to ensure safe
systems of work are followed. It helps the reader to identify health and safety hazards found on many sites and
advises on how to control the risks that can arise. It then outlines the requirements for monitoring and
reviewing to ensure site health and safety is maintained through to completion of the job.
The book cannot address every hazard, but it does focus on those matters that are the common causes of death,
injury and ill health. It provides guidance on how to eliminate the hazards, or where this cannot be done,
reduce the risk. Advice is given on protecting those who are directly employed to do the work, others working
on the site, visitors to the site and members of the public who could be affected.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Accidents
Falls: People fall because access to and from the workplace is not adequate, or the workplace itself is not safe.
The importance of providing good access to a safe working position (eg a platform with toe boards and guard
rails) cannot be over-emphasized.
Falling material and collapses: People are struck by material falling from loads being lifted and material that
rolls or is kicked off work platforms; others are struck or buried by falling materials when excavations,
buildings or structures collapse. Structural collapses can range from walls, which fall because their
foundations are undermined by nearby excavations, to buildings, which collapse during alteration works
because the structure was weakened and/or overloaded. Structures can also collapse unexpectedly during
demolition if action is not taken to prevent instability. Scaffolds collapse because ties are either forgotten or
removed too early during striking, or the scaffold is overloaded. Structures under construction may also
collapse, eg steel frames that have not been adequately braced, or formwork that is prematurely loaded.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Electrical accidents: People suffer electric shock and burns when they use unsafe equipment and when they
contact overhead power lines and buried cables.
Trips: Trips are the most common cause of reported injuries on construction sites, with over 1000 major
injuries each year. Most of these can be easily avoided by effective management of access routes such as
corridors, stairwells and footpaths.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Health
The construction industry has a poor health record. Construction workers are likely to suffer ill health as a
result of their work in the industry after exposure to both harsh working conditions and hazardous substances.
Smoke: Exposure to smoke can cause serious respiratory diseases such as asbestosis and cancer.
Manual handling: Lifting heavy and awkward loads causes back and other injuries. Some injuries can result
from a single lift, but more commonly, long term injury develops as a result of repeated minor injury due to
repetitive lifting.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Noise and vibration: High levels of noise can cause hearing loss and repeated use of vibrating tools can cause
hand-arm vibration syndrome (damage to nerves and blood vessels – most commonly in the hands and
fingers).
Chemicals: Exposure to materials such as cement and solvents can cause skin problems such as dermatitis.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Only qualified and trained employees should carry operations. All Lifting equipment should be certified before
use.
A trained Banks‐man should ALWAYS be present during lifting operation to ensure safety of the Operation.
Only equipment with a valid test certificate must be used. All loose lifting gears must go through examinations
at intervals not longer than six months. All lifting gear must be color coded, stamped or marked with a unique
I.D. Number and their Safe Working Load (SWL).
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Prior to entry for work or testing, involved personnel are required to attend a pre‐job safety meeting. The
meeting shall place emphasis on the following:
In addition to the above even if the personal has finalized the safety conduction successfully, weekly if not daily
safety meeting or tool box talks should be conducted by the Safety officer for all the workers.
Tool box talks should have topics (falling objects, electricity,…), the purpose of the talks is to keep the workers
and all personal updated in the safety protection and HSE field and To ensure that employees are competent
and adequately trained to perform their duties safely.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Below are some common topics to be discussed during the safety meetings:
Glassline is committed to providing and maintaining a First Aid policy to minimize the effects of job‐related
injuries and illnesses.
The Company will provide and maintain first aid services, supplies, and equipment as required by occupational
health and safety regulations. First aid services, supplies, and equipment will be made available to all workers
during working hours.
Use appropriate PPE such as facemasks, latex gloves and safety glasses when a worker is bleeding.
Make sure that any cuts or abrasions on the first aider do not come in contact with the injured worker.
Use a bag and mask or a pocket mask for artificial respiration.
Clean up blood carefully and, with a suitable disinfectant and using proper precautions, clean all areas
contaminated with blood.
28 August 2018 Health and Safety Plan
Carefully dispose of blood-soaked materials in double-wrapped plastic bags. Where required by legislation,
bio-hazardous bags must be used.
If deemed appropriate, a contract cleaner may be hired to clean up blood at a worksite.
The first aid attendant will provide first aid and be in charge of all first aid treatment until medical help arrives.
After the first aid attendant has provided treatment, the first aid attendant will record the necessary
information.
First aid records must be available at all times for inspection by the supervisor and Regional Safety Manager.
First aid reports, by regulation, must be made available to provincial authorities to review upon request.
All first aid records and incident data fall under the protection of provincial freedom of information and
protection of privacy legislation and must be considered confidential.
