Burson Supersedes: 29-Jul PURPOSE To outline the requirements for a Construction Hazard Analysis (CHA)/Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Practice for all Merck Global Engineering Services (GES) projects. This document will be used as a resource to develop a process to plan, organize, and communicate safety aspects of project work activities/tasks. The goal is to establish a consistent CHA/JSA process across all projects and have all Merck GES Project Teams proactively work as a single, unified unit toward elimination of incident potentials from all work activities/tasks. 2.0 SCOPE This construction hazard analysis CHA/JSA Practice applies to all Merck Global Engineering Services Projects contractor/subcontractor work and all other activities under the project scope deemed necessary. 3.0 DEFINITIONS Field JSA (Field Job Safety Analysis) - A copy of the JSA that is posted in the workplace. Field JSA s are reviewed and signed by each worker performing that task prior to start of work associated with a JSA. JSA (Job Safety Analysis) - Identifies hazards associated with specific work tasks identified in the CHA list and provides protective measures to prevent injury or incident associated with those work tasks. See Appendix B: JSA Form. JSA Library - Is a reference located on the GES Safety Website to be utilized as a source for developing specific JSA s for particular work activities. Construction Hazard Analysis (CHA) -. Is a JSA submittal register or master list identifying all known hazardous tasks for a particular contract scope of work. The CHA list corresponds to level 3 or 4 schedule activities. Each item on the CHA list will correlate to a single JSA. See Appendix A: CHA Form. This is completed during the preplanning stage. CHA/JSA Process Focuses on job tasks to identify hazards Focuses on the relationship between the worker, the task, the tools and the work environment. Identifies steps to eliminate or reduce hazards to an acceptable level of risk Defines protective measures required for the task Defines the procedures or specific steps required Identifies safety training requirements Assigns responsibilities

2 Page: 2 of 5 Construction Hazard Analysis (CHA)/Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Submittal Log - (Requirement will vary depending on size and complexity of project). Log is maintained by Construction Management / General contract firm and includes at a minimum the following information: CHA/JSA Submittal Dates Subcontractor CHA/JSA Review Dates Authorization to Proceed by Construction Manager JSA Control Number Task Start Date 4.0 PRACTICE This Practice focuses on the implementation of safe practices and the identification and elimination of unsafe conditions during the preplanning phase of a project by aligning all CHA/JSA submission requirements with the project schedule. The key premise here is that there is no unplanned work being executed without completing a hazard and risk assessment, developing a safe plan and discussing that plan with the employees and or craft workers involved prior to starting work each day. The Construction Manager must perform an overall CHA for the project and that each subcontractor also perform a CHA and produce corresponding JSAs for the work under their scope. Where a project is self-managed by Merck GES, the Project Manager shall complete tasks normally required of the Construction Manager. Below is a detailed description of the process and responsibilities. 4.1 CHA PREPLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Contract awarded It is important to have this Practice incorporated in to the bid packages and explained to the Sub Contractor during the bid cycle. The Construction Manager (CM) shall initiate the CHA/JSA process immediately after award of contract to Subcontractor. Safety Kickoff Meeting Safety Kickoff meeting involving the (CM), subcontractor and Merck GES is convened. JSA/CHA Practice and site specific safety plans are explained and date required for the CHA list is determined. It is recommended that the Safety kickoff meeting be scheduled approximately one (1) week after contract award. A copy of this Practice and forms should be provided to the subcontractor by incorporating them in to their actual subcontract requirements. Draft CHA list The subcontractor shall forward both a construction schedule and a draft CHA list (use Appendix A as a guide to develop list) to the CM on the due date required i.e. approx. 2 weeks after contract award. The CHA list should be based from a level 3 / 4 schedule document, and identify those tasks of a hazardous nature or require thorough pre-planning due to work restrictions or arrangement at a minimum. Medium to High Risk activities, non-routine tasks and specific tasks where injury trends have been noted will be required within the CHA/JSA. For some projects the Merck Project Manager and /or CM may require that every level 3 /4 task require a JSA. Step 4 CHA list / JSA Review Meeting The subcontractor, CM and Merck teams review the draft CHA list and scheduled activities to determine if all appropriate work tasks have been included in the draft CHA list. JSA submittal

3 Page: 3 of 5 staging should be discussed during this meeting (approval / review process for work involving a JSA). Step 5 Final CHA List Final CHA list to be distributed to the CM and Merck team as required and kept as the project reference documents for JSAs. This must be complete well before work commences. It should be noted that there may be additional JSAs required after the CHA list has been finalized. Any non-planned JSAs should be included with the Final CHA list documentation as soon and practical. The development of any additional JSAs should follow the same process as described below. 4.2 JSA DEVELOPMENT AND APPROVAL PROCESS Step 6 Draft JSA Subcontractor team develops JSA as per the CHA list (JSA template Appendix B may be used as a guide document). The JSA review process will commence at this point. Step 7 Subcontractor / CM Review CM reviews JSA and passes comments directly to subcontractor. Subcontractor changes JSA according to comments and resubmits to CM. Step 8 Step 9 Merck Review CM forwards final draft to Merck for review. Note: For smaller projects the Merck Manager may elect to not review every JSA. This requirement will be outlined in the Project Safety Plan. An alternative for daily review is to review critical JSAs or carryout spot checks to determine JSA quality. JSA Release for Work CM releases the JSA with the appropriate control number to subcontractor and updates the JSA log. Note: Work may not proceed until the field JSA has been through the review process and is issued with a control number. Step 10 JSA Briefing Prior to work preceding the subcontractor is required to carryout a JSA briefing with employees. JSA briefing attendance must be recognized by employees engaged in that work activity signing attendance. Step 11 Work site accountability The subcontractor will ensure that their foreman/superintendent reviews the work area in accordance with the JSA and initials the JSA daily. Where a deviation in the field occurs, the JSA for the task should be referred to in all cases. Where the particular work activity has not been considered in the initial JSA, a review or separate JSA should be developed. Ensure that no unplanned work is performed.

4 Page: 4 of RESPONSIBILITIES 5.1 GLOBAL SERVICES (GES) Assist the Construction Manager in review of overall JSA Practice effectiveness and suggest improvement Attend Safety Kickoff Meetings Review all CHA submissions Review critical/high hazard JSA submissions as identified in the CHA or as required for non-scheduled JSAs Incorporate JSA field compliance inspections in site audits Ensure all proposed CHA/JSA submissions are incorporated in the overall integrated project schedule Designate a single point of contact for CHA/JSA related matters 5.2 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FIRM Designate a single point of contact for CHA/JSA related matters Include the CHA/JSA Practice in safety exhibit for bid Incorporate CHA/JSA discussions into subcontractor prebid, descope and kick-off meetings Include CHA/JSA submission and review in the project schedule Facilitate CHA/Schedule Meeting with Subcontractor Ensure timely submissions of CHAs/JSAs Lead the CHA/Schedule Coordination Meetings Review all CHA/JSA submissions Ensure a JSA is completed and followed for each work activity identified in the CHA Monitor contractor field compliance, ensuring each requirement of the JSA is in place and followed Adjust the requirements of the JSA as determined by changes in procedure, environment and/or as circumstances warrant. Project Managers and superintendents must notify the safety staff of issues or concerns as they arise and log changes / revisions to the JSA Ensure Project Managers, engineers and superintendents are trained on the CHA/JSA Practice/process Assist in the development of CHA/JSAs as requested Review the quality of the JSAs prior to forwarding JSA to Merck GES for review as necessary. (Note: per individual site / project review program) Release the work to proceed by issuing a field JSA with corresponding control number Maintain a CHA/JSA submittal and master log. This log tracks the date the CHA/JSA is submitted, the review time of both Construction Manager and Merck (as required) and the release of work to commence. 5.3 SUBCONTRACTORS: Attend Safety Kickoff Meeting Designate a single point of contact for CHA/JSA related matters Forward the CHA list to CM as per procedure Attend a CHA/Schedule Coordination Meeting Work with their field staff to complete a JSA for each hazardous work activity identified on their CHA Review current and new JSAs with the field staff

5 Page: 5 of 5 Ensure that each employee has been properly trained in the JSA process. Ensure that applicable JSAs are effectively communicated and understood by each employee in his/her crew through JSA briefing Ensure all workers sign the field copy of the JSA prior to start of work. Any new employee must add their signature to the JSA Ensure that the field copy of the JSA is clearly posted in the work area and replacement copies are posted if one is lost or damaged or no signature space remains Effectively enforce the requirements of the JSA Identify changes in procedure, environment, process, etc. which will affect the requirements of the JSA, warranting a review and/or updating of the JSA Notify their safety/field supervisor if a new JSA needs to be completed due to changing work conditions. Initiate a new JSA for any unforeseen or non-routine work activity which was not included in the initial CHA/JSA submission during preplanning.
