1.0 SCOPE
This Site She Plan applies to all work on the site controlled by BOC Ltd on the Westbury LNG plant site. The construction of the BOC Westbury LNG plant will be the responsibility of GLP Pty Ltd. The construction site is adjacent to the Tasmanian Alkaloids facility and is directly accessible from Birralee Road approximately 100m West of the site. The LNG plant will be connected by a 100m pipeline to the offtake from the Tasmanian Gas Pipeline. The plant will process Natural Gas (NG) to LNG. The LNG is then stored at a temperature of -160oC. The LNG will then be filled into road tankers for transport offsite.
2.0 SHEQ POLICY 2.1 All work at this BOC site falls under the SHEQ policy of The Linde Group. Available on a case by case basis,
by request. 2.2 The Linde Group believe that all individuals and contractors are responsible for the Safety and Health of
themselves and all others working at site and for avoiding adverse environmental impact. 3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE SAFETY, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT (SHE) MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 3.1 The overall responsibility for SHE management on the LNG construction site lies with GLP Pty Ltd BOC’s
representative, Simon Smith – Project manager will ensure matters relating to SHE shall be followed. 3.2 The overall responsibility for SHE management on the LNG operating site lies with the Tonnage Operations
Team of BOC Ltd. 3.3 Each contractor is responsible for the management of SHE for their own work and shall collaborate with BOC
Gas and all other contractors to ensure that SHE issues are effectively managed across the whole site. 3.4 Regular and clear communication between all on site is an essential pre-requisite for good SHE performance.
In addition to daily discussions and notifications of work, a management meeting between the BOC Representative and representatives of all contractors operating on the site will be held weekly. The first agenda item for that meeting will be SHE.
3.5 When any contractor employs directly or via subcontractors more than 25 staff on the site they shall provide a
full time SHE Manager on the site. Contractors shall ensure that any such SHE Managers appointed shall have full authority on matters of SHE. Contractors shall add an additional safety officer for each additional 25 staff they have on site. If shift work is being undertaken then the SHE management cover must be present at all times that work is being undertaken with suitable handover processes.
4.0 SITE RULES AND DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS 4.1 Company and individual compliance with the SHE rules contained in this Site SHE Plan is a condition of
employment on the site.

4.2 Recklessly endangering the safety of others, tampering with equipment or repeated failure to comply with these SHE rules will lead to removal of the individual or contractor from the site.
5.0 SITE SHE PRACTICES The following practices shall be used on site. 5.1 Site Inductions
5.1.1 All personnel shall undergo an induction to the site before they are allowed to be put to work. Such an induction should cover these site specific SHE rules, emergency procedures, incident notification and familiarisation with the layout of the site and site management structure.
5.1.2 If the individual is to be a permit acceptor (see 5.3 below) then this training should also be provided. 5.1.3 A record should be kept of who has completed the induction process and the individual should sign
the record to that effect.
5.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
5.2.1 All personnel on the site shall wear, at all times, a construction hard hat (non-metallic), safety glasses and fully enclosed, steel-toe safety footwear.
5.2.2 Additional PPE will be worn when instructed, by either the BOC Representative or contractor
management, dependent on the specific hazards to be faced
i) across the whole site, or ii) in specific locations, or iii) on specific tasks.
5.2.3 PPE that will be considered by management in accordance with 5.2.2 above include, but are not
limited to:
i) Gloves for manual handling tasks ii) Safety glasses when dust or other wind-blown material is present iii) Ear protection when working close to machinery >85dBA iv) Welding shield, leather gauntlets etc. for hot work (welding/cutting) v) Full skin coverage when working in intense sunlight vi) Fall protection when working at heights (see 5.5 below) vii) Breathing masks when working with dust/friable material viii) Flame retardant clothing ix) Appropriate PPE when working with hazardous materials (see 9.1 below)
5.2.4 All PPE shall be provided by the individual’s employer.
5.3 Permit to Work System

5 of 12 J:\JOBS\43283480\6 Deliv\DPEMP\Appendices\Appendix J (Part 1) Site SHE Plan-Westbury LNG March 2009.doc
5.3.1 The site runs a Permit to Work (PTW) system which shall be complied with. All tasks requiring a permit will not be undertaken without a permit issued by an approved issuer and received by a trained acceptor.
5.3.2 Permits are required for the following activities:
i) All excavations over 1.2m deep to ensure that correct approaches are being taken to identify buried service locations and provide excavation support.
ii) Confined space entry (Best Practice would have the confined spaces that will exist on the
project as construction progresses identified early on so that confined space avoidance and planning for the PTWs can be put in place well in advance).
iii) Radiation based NDT (X-ray or Gamma-ray). iv) Pneumatic pressure testing (Note: Hydraulic testing is not included as the stored energy is
significantly less and is the preferred method of testing wherever possible) v) Live line breaking at tie-in points etc. (Note: Prior to commissioning occurring on a site any
live line should, by definition, belong to someone else and be under the control of the operations PTW system from which the permit should be sought).
vi) Hot work (on a risk assessed basis). Before any hot work (welding, cutting or grinding) is
undertaken, agreement should be reached with the permit issuer as to whether a permit is required. This will be based on the proximity of flammable materials. Any hot work close to an energised oxygen or flammable gas system shall require a PTW.
vii) Crane lifts >25tonnes or >75% of the load limit of the crane (and for smaller lifts if the JHA
shows high risk – see 5.4 below). The PTW will be supported by a lifting plan. viii) System energisation (electrical or fluid pressurisation) and working on previously energised
systems. (Note: This will occur as the site moves into commissioning and must be working under the Operational PTW system by this time. Best Practice would put in place specific communication procedures for the first energisation, usually electrical, on a project).
5.3.3 All permits will be supported by a Job Hazard Analysis (see 5.4 below). 5.3.4 The permit issuer along with BOC and contractor’s management will monitor compliance with permit
conditions. (Note: As different PTW systems have different criteria and ways of operating this Plan cannot be more specific on the PTW details (eg. permit forms, display, length of validity, sign-off) but the above are minimum requirements).
5.4 Job Hazard Analyses (JHA)
5.4.1 All work must be properly pre-planned, risks identified and affective control measures put in place. The use of formal Job Hazard Analyses (also known as Job Safety Analyses) as detailed in 5.4.2 to
xxxx-xx-xx Westbury LNG SHE PLan
Draft 2-Mar-09
6 of 12 J:\JOBS\43283480\6 Deliv\DPEMP\Appendices\Appendix J (Part 1) Site SHE Plan-Westbury LNG March 2009.doc
5.4.6 is regarded as above minimum requirements but to be highly recommended. If not used then evidence of the pre-planning must exist.
5.4.2 All tasks should be covered by a JHA. These can be specific for the specific task or generic covering
routine tasks. The more hazardous and unique the task, the more likely it should be covered by a task specific JHA and, as per 5.3.3, all tasks requiring a permit shall have a JHA. Examples where a task specific JHA would be appropriate include:
i) Work including high levels of the following: pressure, electrical voltage, chemical
concentration, heights, noise, dust, vibration, etc. ii) Excavations, pile driving, excavations near existing underground lines or cables iii) Use of a crane supported work platform and other mobile elevated work platforms iv) Pneumatic or hydro testing of pipelines or equipment v) Critical lifts, major lifts, heavy lifts, high lifts or lifts over equipment vi) Erection of tall structures: elevators, tower cranes, ringer cranes, etc. vii) Elevated work where no engineered fall protection is provided viii) Work over or near water ix) Work over or near high voltage power lines x) Work involving specialized equipment xi) Use of toxic or hazardous substances, eg. chemical cleaning xii) Use of explosives or radiation sources xiii) Any new technology or tasks
5.4.3 The JHA for a specific task should be supported by a method statement for the task. 5.4.4 All JHAs should identify the task to be done, the tools/equipment that are going to be used, the
hazards that will be faced and the measures (PPE, PTW, barriers, equipment, training etc.) that will be employed to reduce the risks to those employed in the task and those working in the same area.
5.4.5 The JHA must be discussed, in advance, with each work crew who will be undertaking the task to
ensure they understand the task, the hazards and the measures to reduce risk. 5.4.6 The JHA should be reviewed and updated if any of the circumstances surrounding the task change. (Best Practice: The JHA should be written in discussion with those who will be undertaking the task).
5.5 Working at Height
5.5.1 All work 2m above grade or a fixed, full and complete platform shall be regarded as work at height. 5.5.2 Wherever possible work at height shall be undertaken from a fixed, full and complete work platform
with secure access/egress. 5.5.3 Where that is not possible, a full body harness with tie lines shall be used at all times. (Best practice
would require a fall arrestor system) 5.5.4 A platform is full and complete when it is fully boarded, with toe boards on all edges, a handrail at
least 1.2m high and a mid-height rail. All access ladders shall be tied securely to the structure.

5.5.5 Scaffolds and scaffold towers shall only be erected by qualified individuals and shall employ a red/green tag (or similar) system to show when the scaffold is complete and available for use. (Best Practice would avoid the use of yellow tags and would include weekly inspection of scaffolds by a qualified individual).
5.6 Excavations
5.6.1 All excavations greater than 1.2m deep shall be fully shored or the sides battered/ stepped and should have appropriate means of access/egress for those working in the excavation. (Best Practice: Access/egress should be available at a maximum of 8m intervals)
5.6.2 All excavations shall be barricaded at all times. (Best practice: Excavations up to 1.2m deep may
have tape barriers, those over 1.2m must have solid barriers.) 5.6.3 All machinery, apart from that performing the excavation, should be no closer than 4m to the edge of
any excavation. 5.6.4 Work areas in trenches shall be kept free from standing water by the use of appropriate pumps.
5.7 Hot Work
5.7.1 Any hot work (welding, cutting or grinding) shall only be undertaken by individuals trained to do so. 5.7.2 All oxy-acetylene welding/cutting equipment shall be fitted with flash-back arrestors. 5.7.3 Fire fighting equipment (blankets, extinguishers, hoses) will be placed in close proximity to all hot
work. 5.7.4 If hot work is being done at height then appropriate precautions will be taken to protect those working
below from sparks, slag etc. 5.7.5 A fire watch should be kept for 30 minutes after the completion of the hot work.
5.8 Crane Lifts
5.8.1 All lifting operations are potentially hazardous and must only be undertaken by those who are trained. 5.8.2 All lifting operations should use at least two lifting strops spread at an appropriate angle together with
a guide/tag line for manoeuvring the load. The strops shall be suitably rated for the load. Chains shall never be used for lifting smooth metal loads (eg. pipes). (Best Practice would require all lifting chains and strops to be uniquely tagged, daily inspected, certified and re-tested at regular intervals with site-wide colour coding to allow easy confirmation of in-date certification).
5.8.3 All crane operators shall be trained and all cranes shall be certified and inspected regularly (in
accordance with local regulations). Excavators shall only be used for lifting if certified so to do.

5.8.4 Out-riggers on cranes shall always be used. 5.8.5 For lifts above 25 tonnes or >75% of load limit of crane (and for smaller lifts with particular hazards
eg. close proximity of live equipment or poor ground conditions) a lift study shall be undertaken by a competent individual and a PTW issued. (See 5.3 above).
5.8.6 Lifting should not be attempted in wind speeds >35km/h.
5.9 Energising Systems
5.9.1 The energising of the permanent systems (be they electrical or pressurised pipes) marks the commencement of commissioning and shall only be done under PTW. (See 5.3 above).
5.9.2 All systems energised whilst construction work continues shall be clearly marked/signed and be
under the control of a competent person. (Best Practice would ensure retraining/re-induction of all staff on site occurs prior to commissioning).
5.10 Radiation Based NDT
5.10.1 X-Ray and Gamma-Ray NDT equipment shall only be used under PTW (see 5.3 above) and by properly trained individuals. This work will normally be done outside normal site hours to minimise the possibility of accidental exposure.
5.10.2 Properly calculated and confirmed no-access control zones around such NDT operations will be
established and rigorously enforced. 5.10.3 Due to the higher hazards associated with Gamma-ray NDT this will not normally be used. If
Gamma-ray NDT is required for a technical reason then this work must be planned in detail in advance with specialist input.
5.10.4 All sources must be managed in accordance with local regulations.
5.11 Site Transport & Traffic Management
5.11.1 Personnel are forbidden to ride on any mobile equipment where proper seating is not provided. Drivers and passengers must secure their seat belts.
5.11.2 All vehicular traffic shall stay within the traffic routes designated by the Linde Gas Representative.
These routes should be reviewed and amended as construction work progresses. (Note: These routes should aim, as far as possible, to keep vehicle traffic and pedestrians apart and, once commissioning commences, should be very restrictive).
5.11.3 No mobile equipment shall back up (reverse) without the assistance of a spotter/flagman.

Draft 2-Mar-09
9 of 12 J:\JOBS\43283480\6 Deliv\DPEMP\Appendices\Appendix J (Part 1) Site SHE Plan-Westbury LNG March 2009.doc
5.11.4 No one may operate mobile equipment without prior training, certification and approval to operate the vehicle. This applies to all mobile equipment including equipment such as fork trucks, lifts, cranes, dump trucks, etc.
5.11.5 Vehicular traffic shall not exceed the posted speed limit. The speed limit in the site is 10km/h. 5.11.6 If a delivery driver has to step out of his vehicle whilst on site he shall wear the appropriate PPE (see
5.2 above). If he does not have his own PPE then the contractor to whom the delivery is being made shall supply it.
5.11.7 All traffic coming on to and leaving site will be subject to search by security. (Best Practice would include a register of all site mobile equipment and the names of approved drivers).
5.12 Housekeeping
5.12.1 All staff and all contractors will:
i) keep their work areas free from rubbish; ii) ensure all materials are neatly stacked away from access routes, and iii) ensure that access routes are kept level and free from trip hazards.
5.12.2 No open fires are permitted on site. 5.12.3 Trailing cables and hoses shall be run so as not to cross access ways or, if that is unavoidable, will
be protected in such a way as not to create a tripping hazard or cause damage to the cable/hose. 5.13 Tools/Equipment
5.13.1 No hand-made/home-made tools shall be used on the site. In the event that a special tool is needed for a specific task for which no such manufactured tool exists; proper engineering design, specifications, and approval shall be obtained prior to construction of such a tool.
5.13.2 No frayed or repaired cables or hoses shall be used on the site. 5.13.3 Tools and powered equipment shall not be modified or tampered with. (Best Practice would limit electrical tools to 110V or below and require that all electrical equipment be checked by a competent individual before being brought onto site and have all temporary electrical systems fitted with RCDs, GFCIs or a similar protective devices).
6.0 EDUCATION & TRAINING 6.1 All staff should be trained and competent for the tasks that they are assigned. It is the responsibility of the
individuals and the contractor’s management to ensure this is the case.

10 of 12 J:\JOBS\43283480\6 Deliv\DPEMP\Appendices\Appendix J (Part 1) Site SHE Plan-Westbury LNG March 2009.doc
6.2 Continuing training of staff should be undertaken. At the very least each contractor should provide weekly short “tool box talks” to all staff to reinforce good SHE practices, remind of SHE rules, and review lessons from incidents etc.
7.0 FIRST AID FACILITIES 7.1 All contractors shall carry first aid facilities on site to allow non-specialist treatment (eg. sticking plasters, eye
wash etc.) 7.2 (Note: As overall site manager the BOC Representative should ensure contact has been made with the local
emergency services so that the site’s existence is known and we know where the nearest hospital is and how the emergency services can be contacted. This information should be provided to the contractor).
8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 8.1 All staff shall ensure that releases of pollutants to the ground, drains or water courses are prevented. 8.2 All containers of oil or other hydrocarbons greater than 100 litres shall be stored in appropriately bunded
facilities. 8.3 Any spill of pollutant will be reported immediately and steps taken by the contractor responsible for the spillage
to contain and clear up the pollutant. (Best Practice would also address the segregation of waste for recycling, solid/liquid waste disposal and atmospheric emissions). 9.0 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES 9.1 For any hazardous substance that is bought onto the site by a contractor the contractor will also provide at site
a copy of an appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Such MSDS documents should identify the hazards posed by the substance indicate the required handling procedures (including PPE) and provide first aid etc. measures to be taken in an emergency.
10.0 SITE SECURITY (Notes: The contractor will secure the site by fence, gates and security personnel). (Best Practice: Establish a site photo identification card process that will only allow designated individuals on to the site who have been through the induction process – see 5.1 above – which would give 10.2). 10.1 All contractor personnel will comply with the directions of site security personnel and will not arrange for non-
authorised personnel to enter the site. 10.2 (Best Practice: All staff will carry at all times the identification card which was issued after completion of site
induction and entry to site will only be permitted by means of that card. A register of all those on site on a given day should be available within one hour of work start time).
11.0 SMOKING, ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND WEAPONS

Draft 2-Mar-09
11 of 12 J:\JOBS\43283480\6 Deliv\DPEMP\Appendices\Appendix J (Part 1) Site SHE Plan-Westbury LNG March 2009.doc
11.1 Smoking on site is only allowed in the designated places. (Note: These would normally be away from the
working area (eg. adjacent to the messing facilities) and certainly away from all flammable materials). 11.2 It is not permitted to attend site under the influence of either alcohol or drugs or to bring either alcohol or drugs
onto site. Failure to comply will lead to instant removal from the site. 11.3 It is not permitted to bring any weapons on to site. 12.0 ACCIDENT/INCIDENT REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION 12.1 All accidents, incidents and near misses relating to Safety, Security, Health and Environment shall be reported
immediately to the BOC site Representative. These should include, but are not limited to, incidents that:
i) caused injury or ill health, even if only first aid treatment is required; ii) could have caused a serious injury or ill health; or iii) resulted in or could have resulted in significant property loss; or iv) caused an environmental release of pollutant; or v) could have caused a significantly damaging environmental release
12.2 Failure to report any such incident shall be regarded as a disciplinary matter. 12.3 All incidents resulting in a Lost Time Injury, significant property loss/damage or significant environmental
release should be investigated by the contractor to establish the root causes. (Best Practice: Investigate all Medical Treatment Cases and significant near misses).
12.4 The contractor shall report to the BOC Representative at the end of each month the number of hours that have
been worked by his staff and his subcontractors. (Note: Reporting of incidents within the Linde Group is covered by document GTOQ-02-01 Construction Site Incident Reporting but as this is an internal protocol it is not included within this Site SHE Plan). 13.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE 13.1 All contractors shall comply with the emergency procedures (site evacuation etc.) that have been defined by the
BOC site Representative. 14.0 SANITARY & MESSING FACILITIES (Note: Provision of adequate and suitable messing and sanitary facilities during construction will be provided by the contractor. Permanent facilities will be provided by BOC once the site is operational). 14.1 The contractor shall provide adequate and suitable sanitary and messing facilities for all staff he employs on
site, both those employed directly and as subcontractors. Such facilities shall be kept clean and tidy at all times and are subject to unannounced inspection by the BOC Representative who shall have unhindered access to the facilities at all times.
14.1 BOC shall provide adequate and suitable sanitary and messing facilities for all BOC staff employed on the site.

15.0 SIGNS 15.1 Appropriate SHE signs shall be used at the entrance to the site and at other appropriate locations to reinforce
these SHE rules. 16.0 REPORTING 16.1 The contractor shall provide to the BOC Representative immediately at the end of each month a statement
indicating the number of hours worked by their employees and sub-contractors together with details of all incidents (Lost Time, Medical Treatment and First Aid) for the preceding month.
Best Practice 16.2 The Contractor shall provide a daily record, at the end of each day, to the BOC Representative stating briefly
the work done that day, the number of staff on site broken down by trade and any issues encountered.
