Project Description
The project involves the engineering and widening of the Berg –
Obbicht section of the Julianakanaal, as part of the measure to
adapt the Julianakanaal for shipping class/CEMT class Vb with
limited draft. The Berg-Obbicht section will see various canal
widening activities, which can be categorized into three types of
work, namely:
• Deepening: Lowering the canal bed including the water-
retaining layer present within it;
• Widening: Relocating the canal banks/embankments, with
a new water-retaining layer to be established on the new
bank;
• Dredging: Lowering the canal bed (mainly sludge) at
locations where the existing water-retaining layer is
at sufficient depth.

What to Do in Case of an Accident/Emergency?
➢ An emergency first aider is present on every project. This is
primarily the Coordinator of Execution mentioned in this
brochure, but other members of the Van den Herik project
organization are also first aiders. Their phone numbers are
provided in this brochure as well as on the Emergency Card,
which can be found in every living and working area of the
project.
➢ In addition to the Emergency Card, a route description to the
nearest general practitioner and hospital is available.
➢ In the project office and on board, at least one ‘A’-type first
aid kit is available..
➢ Fire extinguishers are present at various indicated locations.

In the Event of a (Serious) Accident:
➢ Immediately notify the supervisor (If First Aider)
➢ The supervisor will then act as a First Aider or call upon
another First Aider from the project organization
➢ The First Aider will, if necessary, call emergency services.

Quality
We are committed to quality. To demonstrate this, we conduct
various inspections and audits during the realization of the
project. Therefore, it is essential that everyone immediately
reports any observed deviations or shortcomings. Through
these reports, we achieve a better product for our customer
with fewer failure costs

Health and Safety
For the safest possible execution of the work, the project's
Health & Safety (V&G) plan includes a chapter on
construction site facilities. This chapter outlines the tools and
provisions necessary for a safe workplace. A Health & Safety
Coordinator for the 'Execution Phase' has been appointed for
the project. The Health & Safety coordination during
execution is the responsibility of the Coordinator of Execution
(Execution Phase Coordinator). The implementation of the
safety policy is periodically evaluated through VGM
inspections.

Environment
Caring for the environment requires efforts from all of us. On-
site, containers are provided for the separate disposal of
rubble, wood, small chemical waste, etc. Additionally, we
prevent harmful substances from leaking into the soil or water
(such as diesel and coolant). Immediately notify the
supervisor if you discover any leakage (keep oil spill control
materials on hand)

Flora en Fauna
Pay attention to the presence of protected species in
accordance with the Flora and Fauna Act..

Safety is a collective responsibility. Let’s work together to
bring this project to a safe conclusion. SAFE WORKING IS
SOMETHING WE DO TOGETHER!

1. Introduction

You are provided with the Construction Site Rules, which are based on legal requirements and
standards, supplemented by project-specific requirements.

Everyone is expected to be familiar with these HSE rules and to act in accordance with them. The
safety specialist from JUKA will monitor compliance. Appropriate measures will be taken in case of
non-compliance by employees, including subcontractors.

In addition to these construction site rules, it is essential that before starting work, every employee
completes the safety test (via the construction pass) and prints their certificate (project pass) if the test
is passed. If the employee can present their project pass, they will receive a JUKA attendance sticker,
which must be visibly attached to their safety helmet.

If employees are found on JUKA's construction site who have not completed the test, they must stop
their work and complete the test first.

All employees must also be equipped with the prescribed Personal Protective Equipment (see
"Chapter 6 Personal Protective Equipment").

When working on client or third-party sites, the local rules and regulations must also be followed. For
high-risk activities, additional instructions will be provided before the work begins.

3. Workplace Inspections

In accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, an optimal level of safety, health, and
environmental management must be pursued and maintained on the worksite. It is therefore essential
that operational managers, as the primary responsible persons, regularly inspect the workplace.
These "workplace inspections" must be conducted at least monthly by the supervisors using a
checklist. During the inspections, attention is given to:

− Order and cleanliness;
− Hazardous situations and actions;
− Handling of hazardous or environmentally harmful substances;
− Status of rescue equipment (first aid kits, fire extinguishers, etc.);
− Improvements following previous workplace inspections;
− Compliance with safety, health, and environmental regulations.

Compliance with safety rules, such as the use of personal protective equipment and the condition of
tools and equipment, is a critical part of the inspections.

Employees, temporary workers, and subcontractors are required to cooperate with workplace
inspections and to promptly provide any information requested by the inspectors.

Copies of the completed workplace inspections must be submitted monthly to the safety officer of
JUKA.

16. Versie: 1.1 Datum: 14-8-2024


9. Enforcement and Sanction Policy

Enforcement
Compliance with the safety, health, and environmental (VGM) rules is monitored during worksite
inspections, by KAM and V&G officers, and by an independent authority. All imposed sanctions are
reported to the client

Sanction Policy
▪ JUKA aims to ensure optimal safety and health for all workers throughout the duration of the
project. A sanction policy has been introduced to enforce the rules. It is clear that JUKA does not
tolerate unsafe behavior from anyone performing work; this sanction policy provides the means to
impose sanctions on anyone who does not adhere to the site rules. The sanction policy is divided
into different stages, with the stage determined based on the severity of the violation..

▪ Procedure/Steps for Applying the Sanction Policy:

▪ 1e. Verbal Warning;
▪ This can generally be given multiple times (2-3 times) for minor mistakes that are immediately
corrected. The supervisor assesses this.

▪ 2e. Verbal Warning with Witness;
▪ The site manager or safety officer issues a verbal warning to the individual, preferably in the site
office, in the presence of the Head Foreman or Project Manager. This verbal warning is recorded
in the safety register.

▪ 3e. Attend "Safe Work in Construction" Course
▪ The individual attends a course to increase safety awareness. The course costs are covered by
JUKA. The individual is not paid for the course hours. This ensures contributions from both sides
to enhance safety awareness. An entry is made in the register.

▪ 4e. Written Warning;
▪ The individual is informed that they are receiving a written warning. The warning should preferably
be sent the same day via email to the employer's office with a copy to the individual themselves
(entry in the register).

▪ 5e. Removal from the Site with Written Confirmation:
▪ The individual is removed from the project. The removal must be confirmed the same day via e-
mail to the employer's office. The individual will no longer perform work for JUKA.
▪ In cases of serious violations, steps 1, 2, and 3 may be skipped. In cases of violence, alcohol
abuse, or drug use, immediate step 5 is taken upon compelling evidence..
▪ Repeated Application to Subcontractors::
▪ If the sanction policy needs to be applied multiple times to the personnel of the same
subcontractor, a meeting is held between the project director and the technical manager with the
subcontractor’s management..
▪ Repeated Application to Own Employees (Contract Partners):

17. Versie: 1.1 Datum: 14-8-2024


If the sanction policy needs to be applied multiple times to employees of contract partners, a meeting
is held between the project director and the technical manager with the management of the contract
partner.
