11 DON’T WALK BY (DWB) /HSE DISCIPLINARY CODE AND AWARDS
Don’t Walk By (DWB) will be utilized to formally notify the supervisor(s) of issues (unsafe condition and
act) as backup to Work Stoppage. Note that work may be stopped at any time if there is imminent danger
present.
11.1 Don’t Walk By (DWB)
The Don’t Walk By (DWB) system provides triplicate self-carbonating pocket-sized booklets to all
construction and QAQC team members to record site safety issues and to be able to timely issue reports
to staff and subcontractors of any HSE violations both on our projects and in our Labour Camps and
concerns plant and site logistics as well as Construction activities.
Every Arabtec Construction, QAQC and Safety Team member is expected to carry one of these booklets
in their pocket at all times.
Whenever an unsafe act or condition is noticed then the observer should explain the observation to the
nearest responsible Foreman, Charge-hand, or Supervisor or Subcontractor, ask him to rectify the
situation. The Observer should either wait while the issue is made safe or return within a reasonable
and practicable time frame to confirm that the issue has been made safe. If he is unable to stay or return
within a short period to confirm closure, or if the responsible Foreman, Charge-hand, or Supervisor or
Subcontractor is unwilling to rectify immediately then the DWB form is to be used.
These notices are primarily for non-compliance to safety or environmental problems for which time may
be allotted for correction. Continued HSE breaches will result in contractual penalties being occurred.
If there is no improvement from the sub-contractor then the HSE department will recommend they be
removed from the project.
11.2 Work Stoppage Notice
In cases of clear, imminent and present danger the Observer must write and issue the DWB and then
stop the works/actions and, if applicable, instruct people to move out of the danger area.

18 ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
18.1 Heat related illness
Although human beings possess considerable ability to compensate for naturally occurring heat stress,
many occupational environments and/or physical activities expose workers to heat loads which are so
excessive as to threaten their health and productivity. Interventions fall into five categories: maximizing
heat tolerance among exposed individuals, assuring timely replacement of lost fluid and electrolytes,
altering work practices to reduce exertion heat load, engineering control of climatic conditions, and use
of protective clothing.
Factors outside the worksite, which may affect thermal tolerance, should not be ignored in the evaluation
of the extent of exposure and developing preventive measures. For example, the total burden to the
body and the potential risk of heat disorders will be much higher if heat stress continues during off-duty
hours through work at second jobs, strenuous leisure activities, or living in hot quarters. In addition, the
state of the body is linked to patterns of eating and drinking, which may also change with season or
religious observances. Worker in hot trades should be generally healthy and possess suitable physical
attributes for the work to be done. Obesity and cardiovascular disease are conditions that add to the
risks, and individuals with a history of previous unexplained or repetitive heat illness should not be
assigned to tasks involving severe heat stress.
Various physical and physiological characteristics which may affect heat tolerance are discussed below
and fall into two general categories: inherent characteristics beyond the control of the individual, such
as body size, gender, ethnicity and age; and acquired characteristics, which are at least partly subject
to control and include physical fitness, heat acclimatization, obesity, medical conditions and self-induced
stress.
Employees throughout the project will be informed of the nature of heat stress and its negative effects
as well as the protective measures provided in the workplace.
They should be taught that heat tolerance depends to a large extent upon drinking enough water and
eating a balanced diet.
In addition, employees will have an understanding of the signs and symptoms of heat disorders, which
include dizziness, faintness, breathlessness, palpitations and extreme thirst.
All employees will understand the basics of first aid treatment this will be done via tool box talks given
by the site First Aider.
A heat stress management plan has been implemented on site.
The following details are an important part of any programme for hydration maintenance:
 Safe, palatable water must be located at each work area, this will be in the form of igloos.
 Water coolers will be placed in each rest area.
 Water coolers will be shaded or cooled to 15 to 20c (iced drinks are not ideal because they tend to
reduce intake.
 A rest area will be provided that will give shade and be air conditioned
 Sub-contractors will be required to submit Heat Stress plan prior to the summer months
 Arabtec Construction will comply with the summer time working hours as and when issued by the
government.
18.2 High Winds and Dust:
 When high winds create a hazard to the work being performed i.e. .instability in elevated areas,
limited visibility due to dust or particles in the air, unmanageable materials, supervision will stop work
activities, and they will reassign work areas, properly store and secure materials which might blow
way, injure someone or damage equipment.

address
 Appropriate materials will be made available on the project to facilitate the securing of property,
materials and equipment.
Although the storm may have passed, hazards may still exist because of unstable structures or other
hazardous conditions. Therefore, a safety and property damage assessment will be conducted by the
Construction team and passed to the HSE team on site, for planned clean up prior to the start-up of
normal construction activities.
18.3 Rain:
The main issues to be considered on site are excavation flooding, excavation wall collapse, drowning,
structure collapse and electrocution. If there has been heavy rain all excavations will be checked before
the work can commence, care should also be taken when working on scaffolding due to potential
slipping.
18.4 Dust Storms:
Weather forecasts are required to be monitored for the likelihood dust storms. Management will monitor
the severity of the reports and also site conditions, action should be taken to remove persons to safe
areas if the dust levels could put health and safety at risk.
19 HAZARD AND RISK MANAGEMENT
19.1 Hazards and Potentially Hazardous Work Operations
Arabtec Construction will identify hazards and potentially hazardous for all work operations. For each
work operation identified involving a previously identified hazard, Arabtec Construction shall conduct a
Risk Assessment, which shall:
