6.2.1 HOW TO MANAGE THE CHANGE THROUGH ORGANIZATION:
Consequences of the change through the organization:
When management changes fail, that will result in a lot of disagreement & dissatisfaction amongst the concerned
which can further lead to attrition through a negative discussion overall. It’s very important to do a drill down
analysis before introducing any change & must be supported with the relevant data or facts. And must be
anticipating the doubts, questions & disagreement may occur & prepare well for that before bringing in the
change. Also, need to have a strong logic of bringing in the change
Successful change management is more likely to occur if the following are included:
1. Benefits management and realization to define measurable aims, create a plan for their achievement (which
should be continuously updated), and monitor assumptions, risks, dependencies, dis-benefits and cultural issues
affecting the progress of the work.
DEWA Document No.:

implementation (what is in it for us) as well as the details of the change (when? where? who is involved? etc.).
3. Devise an effective education, training and/or skills upgrading scheme for the organization.
4. Counter resistance from the employees of companies and align them to overall strategic direction of the
organization.
5. Provide personal counseling (if required) to alleviate any change-related fears.
6. Monitoring of the implementation and fine-tuning as required.
Five Key Step to Manage the Change through Organization:

6.3.4.1 Fall Prevention Procedure
The fall prevention procedure has been prepared to enhance the standard of work at heights at workplaces.
This procedure illustrates a variety of fall control measures and work practices that can be adopted when the risk
of falling from heights, or into depth, is present. The control measures outlined in this procedure do not represent
the only acceptable means of achieving the standard to which the Code refers.
The Code provides guidance and clarifications on the DM COCSP for working at heights Regulations and should
be read in conjunction with relevant COCSP.
A fall prevention plan is a documented site-specific plan prepared for reducing or eliminating risk of falls.
The fall prevention plan may consist in parts of existing documentation (e.g., risk assessment). Work sites
required to have a safety and health management system may use the required documents to constitute a fall
prevention plan. Such documents should fulfill the following:
 Address fall from heights hazards comprehensively;
 Relevant to the specific workplace / work site covered in the fall prevention plan; and
 Readily available at the workplace / work site covered in the fall prevention plan.
In addition to having a plan, it is also important to have rescue equipment and supplies on site and ready to be
used.
 Rescue devices that can raise or lower a victim, such as a controlled rate descent device
 Ropes and lifelines rated for rescue and evacuation
 Rolling edge protectors or Velcro edge protectors to protect the rope from sharp edges and abrasion.
 Designated anchor points for rescue equipment (rated at least 3100 pounds)
 Anchor straps and carabiners for making an anchor point when one is not available or convenient.
 Rescue Kit, First aid kit and defibrillator readily available at site.
 Trained and competent person to rescue the person.
DEWA Document No.:

3091900013 - 3091900014 Rev.: 0 Date: May 19

The fall prevention plan must:
 Establish clear individual responsibilities for fall prevention at work sites or work sites;
 Integrate fall prevention into factories’ Safety and Health Management System for enhancement and
sustenance of work at heights safety;
 Provide a systematic approach for eliminating or reducing risk of falling from heights;
 Ensure that all reasonable fall prevention and protection measures and methods have been taken prior to
commencement of working at heights; and
 Ensure the adoption of a holistic approach to fall prevention and work at heights safety.
The fall prevention plan is to be developed by a competent person and approved by an authorized manager or an
equivalent competent person. Provisions must also be made for adequate supervision to ensure that the plan is
being implemented at the workplace.
6.3.5 Oil Spill Emergency response
We work to prevent incidents that may result in spills of hazardous substances. This means making sure our

In line with the HSE policy all concern shall analyze their process to identify impact on environment. Necessary
measures shall be taken to prevent or reduce the impact as low as reasonably practicable. Following measures
may be taken.
1. Soil Contamination: Spillage of fuel or other chemicals, biodegradable or non-biodegradable
components from instrumentation or electrical components will be avoided.
2. A detailed risk assessment has been carried out for all work activities and adequate control measures
will be taken before continuing job.
3. Any process which may possess a dust emission hazards will be done in a Covered area and frequent air
quality sampling will be done.
4. Use of energy and natural resources: By monitoring on the use of water, electricity, air, paper etc
5. Do not litter (Collect all debris to the collection point).
6. For control of noise at work site we will follow the following guidelines.
The action levels are as follows: -
a. First action level means a daily personnel noise exposure of 85dB (A) based on an 8-hour time weighted
average period per day.
b. Second action level means a daily personal noise exposure of 90dB (A) based on an 8 hr time weighted
average per day
c. Peak action level means a level of peak sound pressure of 140 dB (A)
DEWA Document No.:

3091900013 - 3091900014 Rev.: 0 Date: May 19

Noise level monitoring will be done and will be documented if found required. Where a worker is exposed to
noise in the excess of the action first action level but below the second action level it will be ensured that personal
ear protection will be provide at the request of the workers. Where the worker is exposed to noise level in excess
of the second action level or in excess of the peak action level it will be ensure that personal ear protection is
provided to every worker and the wearing of the personal ear protection is being enforced.
Terrestrial:
1. Residence camp will be away from coastal area.
2. Fuel storage area will be located away from marine area and onsite refueling will be controlled.
3. Good housekeeping will be maintained always.
Atmosphere:
1. Optimization of transport distance to minimize fuel consumption and thereby to reduce emission to air.
2. Diesel engines will be maintained properly to avoid black smoke emission.
3. Usage of power generators should be limited as per requirement only.
4. Dust mask will be provided to all personnel to minimize dust inhalations.
5. All the vehicles will be maintained in proper condition to minimize the air pollution.
Noise:
1. Road vehicle movements will be controlled to reduce noise impact.
2. Sign Boards will be placed to impose speed limits 25 km/hr on roads at hazardous area.
Dust:
1. Engineering controls must be used to control dust hazards which include enclosure, isolation and ventilation.
2. If a hazardous substance (Paints) cannot be eliminated or substituted, then fully enclosing it so workers do
not meet it is the next best method of control.
3. Isolation can be an effective method of control if a hazardous job can be moved to a part of the workplace
where fewer people will be exposed, or if the job can be performed at a time when fewer people will be
exposed.
4. Alternatively, the worker can be isolated from a hazardous job. Isolating a work process or a worker does not
eliminate the hazard; therefore, elimination is always a better choice than isolation.
5. General ventilation can be used for keeping the workplace comfortable, and local exhaust ventilation for
removing air pollutants.
6. Giving workers longer rest periods or shorter work shifts to reduce dust exposure time;
