Safety Requirements

Adani is committed to achieve its goal of ‘zero’ - zero fatality, zero injuries and zero excuses. To achieve
this, every Contractor is responsible and accountable to ensure zero tolerance to any violation with
respect to the safety protocols of Adani. In the process of undertaking the Scope of Work, the Contractor
shall ensure strict compliance with applicable safety standard requirements and business specific
standards, or procedures as may be provided by Adani Businesses. In the event of any inconsistency
between the provisions stipulated herein and the requirements specified in any other documents
provided by Adani, the provisions stipulated herein shall prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.
Critical safety requirements which are required to be complied by the Contractor are as follows:
1. Safety Plan
Contractor shall submit a detail Safety Plan indicating how they will be deploying the safety
requirements outlined below in the execution of the given project scope under the current service
order. They shall be required to continuously demonstrate compliance to their plan from start to
end and shall be monitored through routine inspection, safety risk field audit against their plan and
these requirements besides applicable legal and other regulatory requirements.
2. Work Permit System (PTW)
The Contractor shall be familiar with permit requirements and shall be responsible for ensuring
compliance with its requirements. No work shall be carried out without work permits authorized by
Adani unless exempted at the Site. There is an integrated work permit for all non-routine activities
(except work pertaining to operation and maintenance which may have SAP generated PTW) which
takes care of all related safety standards. The work permit shall be issued with a validity of only
one shift which can be renewed shift-wise. Except in the cases of routine jobs, where an integrated
work permit is provided, no work permit shall be issued unless the Contractor has a handwritten
job specific Job Safety Analysis (JSA) approved by Adani’s Employees, preferably in the local
language prevalent at the Site. All the non-routine work (except work pertaining to operation and
maintenance) performed after 10pm shall require a separate “Night Work Permit” to be issued by
Adani and the same must be obtained and acknowledged by the Contractor. For avoidance of
doubt, it is clarified that when night work is required, a period of ‘overlap’ shall be scheduled such
that the day and night engineers can discuss the work and align themselves on the Work to be
performed under such night work permit. For Sunday and holidays, separate work permit shall be
required which shall be authorized by Adani ’s concerned line manager. PTW would hold its validity,
till working team is continued to be guided by an approved supervisor.
3. Work at Height (W@H)
3.1. The Contractor shall have a written plan for W@H, in addition to the relevant certificate(s),
certifying the right to W@H. Such plan shall ensure that:
