1 Introduction
The present HSE Management Plan is an integral part of the Health and Safety and Environmental
Management System that has been developed to address the Health and Safety and the
environmental requirements of the Construction Project of Akhalkalaki HPPs which will be
implemented by the “Infra Construction – TK Group” LLC (9.1 MW installed capacity, including:
installed capacity of Akhalkalaki HPP 1 is 7.5 MW and installed capacity of Akhalkalaki HPP 2 is 1.6
MW). This particular revision is developed with emphasis to mobilization and preparatory works which
are necessary to be completed prior of commencement of the Main construction activities. Therefore,
this document presents the live document which shall be updated as project progresses.
Akhalkalaki HPP construction project is planned in Samtskhe-Javakheti region, on the territory of
Akhalkalaki Municipality.
Akhalkalaki 1 HPP will be constructed on Paravani River section between 1616 m and 1555 m
altitudes, and Akhalkalaki 2 HPP will be constructed on Korkhi River section between 1627.5 m and
1555.4 m altitudes.
This HSE Plan is a flexible document that is reviewed on periodically basis and is amended where
necessary changes are identified. Additionally, amendments will be incorporated if and when any
Project changes or other information requires inclusion. Any proposed amendments to this Plan will
be submitted to AIS LLC for approval prior to issue.

3 Risk Management
The most important aspect of the HSE management of the project is the identification of hazards
related to health, safety and environmental aspects, the understanding and evaluation of the hazards
and assessment to establish the magnitude of the risks to the project assets (personnel, equipment,
environment, etc.) and to the others who may be affected by our activities. This process then leads to
the identification of the control measures required to protect company personnel and other parties
from harm during construction activities.
“Risk assessment” is the key tool that is used to facilitate the controls to avoid, minimize or otherwise
mitigate significant health and safety and environmental risks. From the carrying out of risk
assessments, the important issues that must be managed are identified, and appropriate control
measures are selected and implemented.
These measures include:
 Prevention of occupational risks;
 Provision of information to workers;
 Provision of training to workers;
 Organization and means to implement the necessary measures.
A summary of the General Principles of Prevention:

1. Avoiding risks;
2. Evaluating the risks, this cannot be avoided;
3. Combating the risks at source;
4. Adapting the work to the individual, especially as regards:
 The design of workplaces;
 The choice of work equipment;
 The choice of working and production methods, with a view, in particular, to alleviating
monotonous work and work at a predetermined work-rate and to reducing their effect on
health.
5. Adapting to technical progress;
6. Replacing the dangerous by the non-dangerous or less dangerous;
7. Developing a coherent overall prevention policy, which covers:
 Technology;
 Organization of work;
 Working conditions;
 Social relationships;
 The influence of factors relating to the working environment.
8. Giving collective protective measures priority over individual protective measures;
9. Giving appropriate instructions to employees.
3.1 Risk assessment steps and methodology

Risk Assessment involves five steps:
1. Look for and identify the hazards;
2. Decide who might be harmed and in what circumstances;
3. Evaluate the risks arising from the hazards and decide whether the existing precautions are
adequate or more should be done;
pg. 17
4. Record the significant findings (Risk assessment form);
5. Review the assessment if there is a significant change or evidence that the original
assessment was inadequate;
6. Risk assessment is prepared by HSE Site Manager.
Risk assessment is presented as an attachment at this plan. (Attachment 1).
3.2 Training and Instructions

Competency of the individual person is determined by the combination of:
 Knowledge, including academic, vocational and other official qualifications;
 Experience doing similar work or job-tasks;
 Training.
A person is deemed competent if his/her education, experience and training is sufficient for satisfactory
performance of work tasks with a thorough understanding of its health and safety hazards and risks, and with
work carried out in full compliance with health, safety and environmental requirements.
Training comprises:
 Information on conditions at the job-site, work activity (e.g. Method Statement), health, safety
and environmental hazards and other relevant considerations related to the job;
 Instructions on how to carry out work, including use of work equipment, working procedures,
health, safety and environmental precautions and other relevant directions;
 Classroom and theoretical training;
 “On-the-job” demonstrations, apprenticeships, trials/exercises and drills.
Training of personnel is managed by Training matrix. This provides the foundation for the training of
personnel, by defining the training requirements for each job role/position. The training subjects
considered are presented in IC TK Group’s training matrix.
Personnel shall be provided with training as defined by the Training Plan free-of-charge and,
wherever practicable, during normal working hours.
All persons are required to participate in training in accordance with the annual Training Plan.
3.3 General safety rules

4 Hazards related to construction site
In this section, the general hazards, risks and mitigation measurements will be described which are
related to current project.
4.1 Staff moving on the site

As part of the project, one of the most important issues related to safety is the movement of workers
on foot in the work area, due to the fact that heavy technic works in parallel mode in the area, there
are uneven roads. Also significant threat are potholes and ditches, where there is a risk of falling. In
order for the staff to work and move around the facility safely, the following rules must be followed:
 As far as possible pedestrian paths should be separated from the area of operation of heavy
equipment;
 Roads should be free from obstacles such as waste, temporary material warehouses and
temporary electrical wiring;
 If electrical wiring intersects pedestrian paths, they should be marked with warning signs, or
with high visibility objects (ribbons) so that they can be easily seen to prevent falling;
 Operators of heavy technics should give pedestrians warning signals if the technics are
crossing a footpath;
 In the case of wet surfaces, staff are required to move carefully to prevent foot slipping and
falling;
 Excavations and ditches should be fenced with warning tapes or barricades to ensure that the
shores are fixed.
4.2 Moving and operating heavy technic on the work site

Heavy machinery should be mobilized on the work site so as not to damage the asphalt pavement
near the work area, which means that the heavy equipment will be brought to the site by a lantern and
the equipment will be unloaded on the ground.
In the work area of heavy technic, staff will be restricted or prohibited from moving and working until
the technic has stopped working. Operators of heavy technic are required to issue warning signals if
they notice a person approaching a dangerous area on foot.
In case of intensive traffic, an additional person will be assigned to give stop / move signals to technic
operators and pedestrians with special signs.
If the work surface leaves the ground surface, vehicles will be washed to prevent asphalt from
damage by ground solid waste tires.
4.3 Excavation and soil works

Prior to excavation, the dimensions and volume of the trench should be known in advance. Prior to
excavation work, temporary and structural electrical and hydraulic wiring must be identified, which
may be spread over the land surface but not sufficiently visible to the excavator operator. The edges
of the excavation should be bounded with warning ribbon or barricades. Slopes, terraces or
pg. 20
reinforcing railings should be made to prevent the walls of the trench from collapsing.
Vibration and noise are generated during the crushing of solid ground and concrete structures with a
pneumatic hammer. The area where the hammer works will produce bullets, which pose a threat to
staff working in the surrounding area. Therefore, during the specific period when the above-mentioned
works are completed, the movement and work of the staff in the surrounding area should be limited.
Also, the work should be done during the part of the day that is allowed to perform noisy work. If the
noise level in the personnel work area exceeds 85db, personal protective equipment must be used.
4.4 Steel and rebar fabrication and reinforcement works

Iron fabrication includes welding and cutting works, as well as special deformation of the special
machine. Due to the specifics of the listed works, there are such dangers as the formation of sparks,
projective particles, hot surfaces, stretched potential energy. There is a risk of burns, bodies injury
and fire. Therefore, hot work should be carried out in a safe environment where there are no
flammable and explosive materials. Staff must have the appropriate personal protective equipment
and the equipment used for the work must not be artificially made and installed. Due to the fire risk,
portable fire extinguishers of the appropriate type should be available to the working group.
4.5 Formwork Installation and Concrete Pouring

Formwork installation is related to electrical hazards, working at height and fallen objects. To avoid
and mitigate accidents during the formwork material preparation and installation, staff will be trained
and supported with proper tools and devices.
Wood material will be fabricated on site to provide necessary sized parts for proper formwork
installation. Prior to commencing the formwork activities, staff will be instructed regarding the hazards
related to use of hand tools and sharp objects.
Equipment with factory made guarding only will be used for formwork installations. Materials will be
lifted safely, according to Lifting Operations procedure.
Concrete pouring is related to chemical hazards which can cause serious work related illness and
injuries. Personnel working on the concrete pouring works will be provided with coveralls or clothing to
cover all the body to prevent contact with hazardous chemicals.
Concrete trucks will be washed on the construction site to avoid environmental pollution.
4.6 Electricity hazards

Temporary and structural electrical equipment and wiring will be provided during the construction and
installation work. Electrical appliances and installations will be used, which, depending on the
specifics, will involve electrical risks, such as electric shock and fire.
To prevent this, electrical equipment and wiring must be installed securely, which means that the
wiring is located in a safe area, in particular:
 Where heavy equipment is not moving and there is no likelihood of underground or overhead
cables being broken and damaged by contact with heavy equipment parts;
 Electrical distributors used for outdoor use must be of the hermetic type to prevent moisture
from entering, which can lead to shortening and electric shock;
pg. 21
 Electrical wiring, headlights and distributors must be grounded;
 Warning signs should be located next to electric headlights;
 Electrical tools and extensions should be tested by color coding method;
 It is unacceptable to use tools with damaged or broken or tied cables;
 In rainy weather, the use of electrical appliances in the open air should be limited;
 When connecting to electrical equipment distributors, technical specifications for amperage
and voltage must be taken into account by a manufacturer.
4.7 Dangers associated with the use of hand tools

Staff working in the construction process use both mechanical and electric hand tools that have the
potential to cause severe damage to the body in the event of damage or misuse. The basic rules for
using hand tools are:
 Tools should be used for their intended purpose.
 It is not allowed to use damaged (having or not stable / unstable physical condition) tools.
 Tools should be stored in a safe place to prevent damage from external influences and
corrosion.
 Electrical appliances must be manufactured. It is not allowed to use artificially assembled
machines.
 Electrical appliances must have factory protection mechanisms.
 Electrical appliances should be stored in a dry and safe environment.
4.8 Cargo handling

Crane installations are used to dismantle, load and move various cargoes to the construction site.
Misaligned crane installations, loaded cargo, movement of a lifted cargo, faulty crane and traction
devices, crane contact with high voltage cables, and incompatibility of cargo weight with crane load
capacity may cause such incidents, which are a serious threat to the health and life of staff and
property and facilities in the surrounding area.
In order for the cargo operation to be performed safely, the following principles must be considered:
 The mobile and static crane unit must be located on a solid surface of the ground;
 The cranes for mobile cranes should be located on a solid surface of the ground and the
pallets should be arranged underneath or on the surface;
 The area covered by the cargo operation should be barricaded so that pedestrians will not
move;
 Hooks, earrings, cranes and belts must be in full and in good condition;
 Adjacent temporary and structural electrical cables should be identified to prevent contact with
them;
 The cargo place should be cleaned and ready to place the object;
 For communication between the crane operator and the loader / loader, hand-displayed signs
pg. 22
must be used, or if there is a large distance - radio transmitters;
 The center of gravity of the object must be taken into account when attaching the lifting object;
 It is not allowed to carry the cargo in the area where people are moving or working; In
populated areas and road sections;
 It is not allowed to stand under the load;
 Lifting loads should be managed remotely, with support ropes;
 Weather conditions and wind speed should be taken into account (allowed speed up to 12.8 m
/ s).
4.9 Working at heights

Falling from a height is one of the major risk factors on construction sites. In order to prevent incidents
related to work at heights, the working group and the construction site must be equipped with
equipment to protect against falling from a height. This includes personal and collective means of
protection, such as - belts fitted around the body with straps; Clamps, scaffolding and railings
attached to solid anchors.
The requirements of the Government of Georgia No: 477 provided for in the technical regulations shall
be taken into account when carrying out works at heights.
Edge protections should be set up at all stores and balconies at a maximally early period of the work.
Railings should be of solid material (iron, wood) and have the following details:
 Upper railing (common parking space at a height of 90-120 cm from the surface);
 Intermediate railing (located 50-60 cm from the total parking area);
 Lower horizontal pole (a 10 cm high borough designed to prevent objects from falling from a
height).
Fall protection products must be factory-made (protective belts, pull-out ropes and hooks). It is not
allowed to use handmade equipment. Clinging ropes shall be installed on solid anchors and shall be
inspected by test weight before use.
It is not allowed to be performed alone by one person at height. There must be one or more additional
members of the working group on site. In case of falling from the edge of the worker and hanging it on
the support belt with a seat belt, it should be possible to remove / remove it safely for an average of 4-
6 minutes.
Work platforms such as static, removable and hanging - should be inspected by a specialist before
use.
4.10 Chemical hazards

Consumption of materials such as paints, concrete and various paving materials should take into
account the risks of contact with chemicals. Various diseases can be caused by chemicals entering
the body, swallowing or inhaling.
The manufacturer must provide information on safety precautions for certain chemicals. During the
instruction, the staff should be informed about their safe consumption and in case of contact with the
acceptable measures.
pg. 23
Chemicals should be stored in an isolated and safe place where there is no likelihood of damage to
their storage. The storage area should be shaded and protected from the sun.
4.11 Biological hazards

Insects and reptiles pose one of the most serious health risks. Working personnel should be careful in
areas where materials are stored and remain unchanged for a long time. There are frequent cases of
reptile nesting under containers and materials warehouses where there is physical space to access
them. Working staff might get in touch to physical objects when approaching a risky area to alert
reptiles.
Prior to the commencement of the works, the places where insect nests are fixed the staff should be
warned about this. This should be identified during the inspection of the facility.
If a reptile bites a working person, the victim should be taken to a hospital immediately by ambulance.
4.12 Extreme temperature

Staff who work outdoors during the hot season of the year are at the risk of heat-related illnesses. In
order to avoid diseases caused by high temperatures, it is necessary to provide the work site with a
cool and shady shelter. The working group should rest regularly when working at high temperatures.
The work area should be provided with drinking water to prevent dehydration. Working staff should
wear season-appropriate cool clothing.
4.13 Waste generation and cleanliness

Inert (construction and soil waste), household and hazardous waste should be managed in
accordance with state regulations and Topsoil management plan. Waste generated at the
construction site must be disposed of in a timely and safe manner at the destination (waste disposal
areas). There is a high probability that the following dangers will arise at the unclean facility:
 Suppression of pedestrian and evacuation routes;
 Dangers of falling and tripping;
 Waste, as sharp forms as possible (wire waste, nail planks);
 Oil and chemical waste that could locally contaminate soil and air.
There is currently no separate working group in the company that will sort the facility completely.
Therefore, it is the responsibility for all employees to sort the waste generated by their work, except
for the inert waste, for the collection and disposal of which heavy technic is used.
4.14 Material management and storage

Listed below are the safety procedures that must be followed for the safe transportation and storage
of materials. Those rules should be considered with all representatives of the facility staff who have
direct contact with the transport, layout and consumption of materials:
 Never overload and use equipment / devices to carry weights that are not intended for them
(depending on the volume of the load crane).
 Allocate a special area to accommodate large volumes of cargo so that it is should not restrict
pg. 24
the evacuation route and the movement of work equipment.
 Do not stack materials on top of each other in a way that the object with less density and mass
is standing / lying on the object of less density and mass.
 Resistance to the gravity of the surface / platform must be taken into account when storing
materials.
 Do not stack materials on top of each other in such a way that the height of the layout is
formed, during which the probability of collapse of the stored materials increases.
 If the cylindrical objects are placed in a horizontal shape, the object must be installed at the
base (at the bottom) to protect against rolling.
 It is not allowed to place lubricants and fuel in the open air. They should be placed in a safe
place where no high temperature can be generated by sunlight and there is no possibility of
unforeseen physical action on them.
 Flammable materials should be stored at a safe distance from the area where hot work is
being carried out to avoid spreading flames.
4.15 Covid-19
When working in the construction industry, the following tips can help reduce the risk of exposure to
the coronavirus and all recommendations issued by the Government will be strictly followed:
 Encourage workers to stay home if they are sick;
 State requirements and regulations shall be strictly followed;
 Allow workers to wear masks over their nose and mouth to prevent them from spreading the
virus;
 Continue to use other normal control measures, including personal protective equipment
(PPE), necessary to protect workers from other job hazards associated with construction
activities;
 Advise workers to avoid physical contact with others and direct employees/contractors/visitors
to increase personal space to at least six feet, where possible. Where work trailers are used,
all workers should maintain social distancing while inside the trailers;
 Train workers how to properly put on, use/wear, and take off protective clothing and
equipment;
 Encourage respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes;
 Promote personal hygiene. If workers do not have immediate access to soap and water for
handwashing, provide alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol;
 Use Environmental Protection Agency-approved cleaning chemicals from List N or that have
label claims against the coronavirus;
 To the extent tools or equipment must be shared, provide and instruct workers to use alcohol
based wipes to clean tools before and after use. When cleaning tools and equipment, workers
should consult manufacturer recommendations for proper cleaning techniques and restrictions;
 Keep in-person meetings (including toolbox talks and safety meetings) as short as possible,
limit the number of workers in attendance, and use social distancing practices;
pg. 25
 Clean and disinfect portable jobsite toilets regularly. Hand sanitizer dispensers should be filled
regularly. Frequently-touched items (i.e., door pulls and toilet seats) should be disinfected;
 Encourage workers to report any safety and health concerns.
pg. 26
5 Personal protective equipment
To reduce such risks, which cannot be prevented by neutralization, replacement, administrative and
engineering control methods, personal protective equipment is used. PPE Transferred to all
employees.
Mandatory personal protective equipment:
 Helmets for self-defense;
 Glasses for eye protection;
 Shoes with metal elements (front of iron);
 High visibility vests.
Special personal protective equipment will be used when performing specific tasks when the use of
standard / mandatory PPEs is not sufficient. these are:
 Refractory and temperature-resistant gloves during welding working;
 The plastic shield of the face which is completed for protection when performing wound work,
which is completed with a rotary cutting disc tool;
 Ear plugs when working in areas where noise levels exceed the allowed.
6 Emergency situations and fire safety

The work carries out the risks of fire and accidents. The purpose of the IC TK Group is to reduce the
harmful effects on working staff and the environment, in emergencies such as fires, earthquakes,
floods, health damage and more. The company will prepare a plan for emergency action.
During hot work and in the event of an accident caused by a malfunction of electrical equipment, there
must be an evacuation plan, a drawing of the evacuation route, a safe area of assembly, and portable
fire extinguishers at the work site.
The evacuation routes must be permanently free from obstacles and the meeting place must be in a
safe place, at the entrance or outside of the facility.
7 First Aid
There should be a first aid kit at the work site. A medical box containing essential medicines and
supplies such as bandages, antiseptic solutions to clean the wound, eye wash station, etc. The
person who has undergone the relevant training has the right to provide first aid.
8 Reporting / accounting on health and labor safety issues

The HSE Site Manager is obliged to record the violations and incompatible conditions identified during
the work processes in order to take appropriate measures in a timely manner.
pg. 27
The report will be written and the report will provide information to supervisors - the head of
construction, construction / facility manager. The directors of the company should be aware of the risk
factors.
The report will be made daily through a special electronic form, which will describe the number of staff
and equipment working, the primary inspection of the facility and its results, will identify dangerous
cases and incidents and environmental issues.
9 Accounting and reporting of dangerous incidents

Dangerous incidents or accidents placed during the work process must be recorded and a database
therefore created and note a notification should be sent to the developer ASAP. There must be a
mean of reporting the facts in writing.
The following information should be indicated at the time of accounting and reporting of accidents or
dangerous incidents:
 Time of the incident / accident;
 People involved in the incident / accident;
 The specific location of the accident;
 Witnesses (if any);
 What type of case occurred;
 What type of health or property damage occurred in the event of the incident;
