Al-Hammam Murray Telecom Co. Ltd.

We have always placed major emphasis on safe operations and continue to make the best investments towards the prevention of accidents. Our philosophy centers on planning ahead and "learning from other's mistakes.” We hold each manager accountable for his line of operation and from the many mistakes a person could make, we consider the most serious offense to be failing to keep his subordinates informed and well educated on the aspects of safe operations. We hold a firm commitment to preventing loss, damage or death on and off the work site.

Simple procedures we implement ensure that our commitment to safety and loss prevention is met on a daily basis. Some of the methods we utilize are as follows:

New Employee Orientation Program - Our Safety & Loss Prevention Manager, the Personnel Supervisor and one of our Sr. Project Engineers present the orientation. Each employee upon arrival is given an “Employee Operation Manual”, which details potential hazards on the job as well as off the job. Topics are discussed in an open forum whereby new employees are encouraged to participate by asking questions or by making suggestions. Topics discussed include Safety & Loss Prevention, Laws and Regulations of the Host Nation, Mentor Program Overview, Employee Incentive Program, Administrative policies such as Over-time, Mail, Housing/Recreation and Mess Facilities.

Mentor Program - We implement a Mentor Program, whereby each new employee is assigned to an employee who has served with the company for more than two years. The mentor is offered an incentive and assigned the responsibility of ensuring that the new employee is properly trained on safe practices on the job and general orientation on a daily basis for a probationary period of three months. This program also creates a team spirit and encourages leadership initiative for existing employee.

Safety & Loss Award Program - The Safety & Loss Award Program is a safety incentive program. The Safety Award is given to all employees who have not had any safety infractions within a three-month period. The award is a combination of an Award Certificate and a fixed lump sum cash reward.

Construction Safety Manual (for each job description) - The Al-Hammam Murray Telecom Co.Ltd.Construction Safety Manual has been approved by all of our main clients including Saudi Aramco,Saudi Telecom Co. Ltd. (STC),SCECO and SABIC. The manual is issued to all foremen and above.

Hazardous Look Ahead - This is a form that is completed prior to the commencement of the workweek. The Safety Engineer, in coordination with the Sr. Project Engineer is responsible for ensuring that this form is duly completed and distributed in a timely manner. The Hazardous Look Ahead identifies any and all potential hazards within two weeks. This is a bimonthly report.

Daily Tool Box Meetings - This is a meeting that takes place on a daily basis, prior to the start of the operation day or just before executing hazardous work activities. The meeting is conducted by all foremen and addresses any and all potential hazards that may be incurred during the day.

Safety Statistics & Infractions - We post safety statistics for each project on dining facility notice board. In addition to this, we also post names of personnel who have violated any safety procedure on or off the job. This provides additional incentive to employees to always be alert and aware in order not to make a mistake and thereby have their name posted for all to see. At the end of the project, a running summary of safety infractions throughout the year is compiled and posted for all to see in the main camp accommodations.

Flexibility - We maintain a flexible Safety & Loss Program, in order to incorporate our client’s suggestions and internal procedures. We believe our latest Construction Manual includes all of the detailed elements required for any major undertaking.

We have been awarded 3 million Safe Man-hour Awards from Saudi Aramco for the Ras Tanura Refinery Upgrade, Riyadh Refinery and Rabigh Refinery Shutdowns. We have also been awarded safety awards from various SABIC companies.
