 Project Personnel: are responsible to carry out their tasks in a responsible manner when handling
hazardous material as described and required in this Instruction.

INSTRUCTION
1.1 General Information on Hazardous Materials
Hazardous materials are used in activities undertaken by LCI Operations. These materials have the potential
to cause environmental harm by contaminating land, air and waterways and harming flora and fauna when
transported, handled, stored and disposed of incorrectly. However, with the correct information and proper
care, the environmental impact can be minimised.
Hazardous material is used as a general phrase throughout this Instruction to refer to both hazardous
substances and dangerous goods.
Hazardous substances are chemicals which have been classified according to their health effects, but they
also have the potential to cause environmental harm. These substances may be toxic, harmful, corrosive or
an irritant. The main forms are solids, liquids and vapours / gases. Examples include: chemicals in
laboratories, cleaning agents, disinfectants and detergents, diesel and other fuels, solvents, and reagents.
Dangerous goods (DG) are chemicals with the potential to cause immediate harm to people, property and the
environment due to the possibility of a fire, explosion, and release of toxic, flammable, or corrosive materials
during a storage or handling incident. Stringent statutory requirements usually exist for their transport and
storage. Examples of DG include: liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), unleaded
petrol, kerosene, acetone, hydrochloric acid, lead acid batteries, acetylene, and compressed air.
On all LCI Operations, hazardous materials may only be used for the purpose, and in the manner specified, by
the manufacturer.

1.2 Identification of Aspects and Potential Impacts

In order to reduce the impact to the environment from hazardous materials used by LCI Operation, it is
important to first identify activities that have use or have the potential to produce hazardous materials that can
become a source of pollution (aspects). Once these have been identified, an assessment of the significance
of their impact must be determined.
In this respect:

PT. Leighton Contractors Indonesia Page 3 of 18

BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

 The Project Environmental Management Plan (PEP) and Environmental Aspects Impact Registers (Risk
Assessments) must be completed, with the Project identifying all potential impacts and specifying
actions to manage and reduce impacts. Compliance is required with BU3-HSE-PRO-001- HSE Risk
Management.
 Job Safety and Environmental Analysis must be conducted to identify any potential impacts associated
with tasks that are not covered within the Aspect Impact Register and PEP.
 Compliance is essential with any local legal and other requirements for the management of hazardous
materials, for example, Client procedures, and practices for hazardous materials’ management and
statutory licences / permits necessary for transporting and storing hazardous substances.
Whilst conducting the risk assessment process the following aspects and impacts, as a minimum should be
considered (there may be others that are identified from the process):
 Selecting, purchasing and transport of hazardous materials;
 Storage (including bulk storage), handling and disposal of hazardous materials;
 Diminished air quality as a result of air borne contaminants (e.g. gases & emissions from processes);
 Land and water contamination from spills and inadequate waste disposal;
 Harm to flora and fauna.
Where impacts are assessed as significant or higher, the Project Manager should review the controls outlined
in this Instruction – additional ones may be required.

1.3 Approval, Selection and Procurement

The approval of the Project Manager, or competent delegate, is required to bring hazardous materials onto site
– this requirement also applies to free samples, products for one-off use and products that are being
trialled.
The application should include a copy of the Manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a risk
assessment of the new chemical, along with proposed controls. When approval has been obtained, the
purchasing process may continue and the substance brought to site in the quantities stated.
The following principles are to be used during selection and purchasing decisions to minimise the
environmental impact of hazardous materials to be brought onto site:
 Only purchase if there is a genuine need for the specific product and in quantities needed – avoid an
overstocking situation arising;
 Ensure the site has the capacity to control environmental impacts of the product – is monitoring
equipment available? Can waste from the product be disposed of appropriately given available
facilities?
 Substitute less hazardous, more environmentally friendly alternatives where they are available and
suitable - can less concentrated substances do the same job?; and
 Give preference to products that offer opportunities to minimise waste – are products with less /
recyclable packaging available?

1.4 Information about On-Site Chemicals

The Project Manager will ensure there is sufficient information available on site so that hazardous substances
may be managed to minimise environmental impact and prevent harm to people. As a minimum, the following
sources of information shall be available:
 Material Safety Data Sheets for all on-site hazardous materials;
 Chemical Register of all on-site hazardous materials;
 Chemwatch database;
Appropriate labelling of containers that hold hazardous materials.

BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

1.4.1 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

A MSDS provides information on the properties, uses and management of a hazardous material. They shall
be available for all hazardous materials used by the project.
A master copy of all MSDS shall be kept at known, central location (s) such as with ERT and the HSE
Department. The MSDS should not be older than 5 years and be easily available to workers, translated if
necessary, at the point of use.
If an MSDS has not been provided for a new hazardous material on site, one shall be obtained. Check
Chemwatch or contact the manufacturer / supplier who generally has an obligation to provide these –
hazardous material shall not be used until the MSDS is available.

1.4.2 Hazardous Materials Inventory / Register

A register of all hazardous materials on site shall be established and maintained as per the requirements in
BU3-HSE-SOP-FRM-054A Chemical/Hazardous Substances Inventory Register. Chemicals used on-site
by sub-contractors shall be incorporated in the register. A copy of all MSDSs shall be maintained as an
integral part of the register.
The PM shall appoint a delegate to keep the register up-to-date and arrange for periodic audits to be
conducted of the register. The register shall be accessible to all mineworkers.

1.4.3 Chemwatch
This is an electronic database of hazardous substances subscribed to by LCI Operations. It can be used to
provide information about chemicals and to record all hazardous materials used by each project. In addition, it
can be used for labeling, to develop registers / inventories and to perform risk assessments.
Chemwatch is available to personnel on site with access to a computer terminal - contact the HSE Manager
for login details and information about the full possibilities for using Chemwatch.

1.4.4 Labelling
Information about hazardous materials is available on their containers – appropriate labeling is typically a
statutory requirement for the effective management of hazardous materials in many countries in which
LCI operates.
The label provides details about the name of the chemical, ingredients, manufacturer, emergency contact
details and risk and safety phrases (eg, heating may cause explosion / keep away from heat) - supervisors
and workers shall take all reasonable steps to ensure labels are not interfered with during the course
of their work and the information on them remains clear and unobscured.
Information contained on labels must be replicated on all containers holding decanted hazardous materials,
when they are no going to be used immediately – do not use substances in unlabelled containers. Instead,
immediately: remove from general use, mark the container as “Unknown substance do not use” (or similar
marking to identify possible danger), and arrange for appropriate disposal in hazardous waste.

1.5 Transportation of Hazardous Materials

1.5.1 General Precautions
The general precautions to be followed when transporting hazardous materials include the following:
 secure the load – whether using large or small, motorised or manual equipment, always make sure the
load is secure;
 clear obstacles – ensure the route you are going to take is clear of hazards and obstacles;
 segregate incompatible substances – never transport incompatible substances at the same time;
 clean up any spillage – always stop and either clean up or barricade any spillage when it happens;

BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

 drivers are to be competent, appropriately licensed and fit-for-work – tired drivers have accidents and
spillage during an accident can cause environmental damage to local flora, fauna, soil and
waterways;
 daily pre-start inspections of, and scheduled maintenance regime for, transport equipment, eg, check
brakes, valves and pumps on trucks;
 good housekeeping – keep transport equipment clean and tidy to remove possible ignition sources;
 appropriate label, symbol and signage are attached at the transporter, example of symbol and label at
transporter refer to Appendix 3.
Refer to AS2809 Road Tank Vehicles for Dangerous Goods – Tankers for Compressed Liquefiable Gases for
guidance on the design of vehicles and equipment to transport hazardous materials.

1.5.2 Off-site Carriers (delivery / disposal)

Off-site transportation of hazardous materials, either delivering them to site and disposing of them from site,
will usually be undertaken by a sub-contractor. To meet due diligence, the Project Manager shall establish that
the sub-contractor has appropriate controls in place to manage safety and environmental risks that may arise
during the transportation of hazardous materials.
As a minimum, subcontractors must be able to demonstrate they:
 comply with the legal requirements of the national hazardous materials transportation system, eg, hold
appropriate licences (transport licence, hazmat drivers licence may be required) and have appropriate
placarding and labels on transport vehicles / containers;
 give due consideration to the route to be taken and appropriate packaging for transport – both influence
the significance of the environmental impact of an accident;
 have management systems for environment, health and safety;
 have access to an appropriate emergency response capability; and
 possess specific controls for specific hazardous materials being transported.
Refer to BU3-HSE-SOP-210 Waste Management for further guidance on disposal requirements.

1.6 Storage of Hazardous Materials

The storage of hazardous materials depends on a number of factors; the two most important being the type of
material to be stored and the amount of material to be stored.
The type of material is important because some chemicals react with other chemicals and could cause
temperature changes, the release of toxic gases and even an explosion. Type material is also important
because some substances by their very nature are so dangerous that they have special storage requirements,
which are usually enunciated in their MSDS.
The amount of material to be stored is important as bulk storage of hazardous materials introduces specific
hazards which should be managed, including specific regulatory requirements in many countries in which LCI
operates.
The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate legal consents / permits are in place for
the storage of on-site chemicals. Depending upon arrangements at the project and national requirements, a
bulk storage permit and / or a permit to use hazardous materials may be required.

1.6.1 General Storage Precautions

When storing hazardous materials, the following general precautions should be followed to minimise risk to the
environment and people:
 all hazardous materials stores shall have restricted access where only authorised personnel may attend
and be clearly identified as such – the area shall be clearly demarcated and appropriate signage must
be erected, eg, “Restricted Area – authorised personnel only”.
PT. Leighton Contractors Indonesia Page 6 of 18
BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

 hazardous substances shall be stored or contained in accordance with manufacturer’s

recommendations and / or the requirements set out in the MSDS;
 ventilation – if working in an enclosed storage area, ensure that the doors and windows are open and all
available fans are turned on;
 access – keep the most commonly used substances at the front of the storage area and ensure there is
enough room to work;
 keeping materials segregated – avoid a reaction between incompatible substances by keeping paints
with paints and solvents with solvents, etc;
 use secondary containment where possible – for example small containers are sealed and stored with
suitable larger containers;
 use bunding to contain spills to prevent contamination of waterways and land (particularly any areas
identified as sensitive or protected during the EIA for the project);
 ensure emergency equipment is available and in good working order – spill kits, fire extinguishers and
first aid kits are to be kept stocked, conveniently located and checked regularly;
 making sure appropriate labels, signs & symbol are in place – materials need to be clearly labelled in
order to prevent the accidental dispensing / supply of the wrong substance and storage areas need to
be clearly signed. Refer to attachment 1 – 2 for label & symbol example;
 never store hazardous materials in any container which is not labeled or is incorrectly labeled, was
previously used for the storage of another product, is damaged in any way or is inappropriate for the
storage of the particular substance; and
 rehabilitation of storage areas shall to be an important activity during project decommissioning.
All LCI projects using hazardous materials will have reference information available to staff about incompatible
hazardous materials that must not be stored together and safe storage methods to be used for them.

1.6.2 New Storage Installations

The design of all new or modified facilities shall be subject to a specific design risk assessment. The findings
should be used to update the site’s Environmental Aspects and Impacts register.
The design and risk assessment process for new installations should take account of, as a minimum, the
following:
 information provided by the project’s aspects/impacts register;
 construction-related risks,
 volume and nature of hazardous materials to be used and stored on site - consider requirements for
separation and segregation and if incompatible goods are to be stored in the facility.
 safeguards should be designed into the facility to protect the environment if bulk storage is to occur;
 national requirements for hazardous storage facilities and this may include licensing of the facility;
 allow for sufficient storage and handing space, have good ventilation and facilitate safe separation
distances between incompatible materials;
 protection of both surface and ground water, and land and to minimise the environmental impact of
chemical spills;
 requirements to provide for response to credible hazardous materials emergencies with capacity for safe
refuge; and
 learning’s from any previous incidents involving hazardous materials.
Numerous international standards are available to guide the safe design of storage facilities for hazardous
materials. A number of these, such as AS 1940 and AS/NZS 3833, are listed in the reference section below.
When a bund is to be constructed to store hazardous materials, it should be designed:
 to be located away from streams, rivers or significant drainage lines;
PT. Leighton Contractors Indonesia Page 7 of 18
BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

 to contain at least 110% of the stored volume of the largest container;

 with impervious floors and walls;
 to manage drainage from the bund in the case of a rain event, spillage or leakage. Roofing should be
considered to protect contents from the elements and prevent pooling of water.
Portable bunds may be purchased but these tend to be acceptable where only a relatively small number of
drums are stored.
Underground storage systems should be avoided wherever possible. Where they are essential the installation
should have regard to the requirements of relevant International / National standards and meet the
requirements of the regulatory authorities.
Controlled records shall include the design and “as built” drawings of the storage facilities.
1.6.3 Existing Installations
An inspection of the existing storage installations should be undertaken at the commencement of a project to
establish suitability for the job and any potential liability.
The inspection should include a ground permeability and contamination assessment, conformance with
national and international requirements and regulatory requirements and modified to meet those requirements,
if appropriate.
Any defects and modifications required to meet standards or the requirements of the job shall be discussed
with the Client, prior to use.

1.7 Handling Hazardous Materials

Handling refers to shifting, loading, working with or decanting the substance.
1.7.1 General Handling Precautions
When working with hazardous materials, workers should abide by the following general precautions:
 Consult the handling requirements set out in the MSDS before handling hazardous materials -
especially after returning to work from an extended break or when significant time has elapsed since the
last time you worked with the chemical;
 Conduct a Take 5 before handling any hazardous material – Stop, think about, and assess the task at
hand. This will help to determine if a fuller examination of risks, which can be provided by a Job Safety
and Environmental Analysis, is needed;
 There shall be no smoking around flammable or explosive materials and signage shall be erected to
state this clearly for workers;
 There shall be no eating or drinking in the vicinity and containers used for hazardous materials shall not
ever be used for any food storage or preparation;
 The correct PPE, as identified on MSDS or on the labels of containers, shall be made available and
shall be worn, eg, goggles and face shields, waterproof clothing and gloves and respirators.
First aid facilities are to be located in, or in close proximity to, workplaces where hazardous goods are
handled. Workers should be able to access trained first aid officers.

1.7.2 Shifting, Loading and Unloading

When shifting, loading and unloading hazardous materials, the following safety measures shall be taken:
 Secure the zone by restricting access and erecting barricades;
 Double check that all bungs and lids etc are properly sealed - chemicals should not be carried
moved in open containers to avoid spillage, ground contamination and exposure to vapours /
fumes etc;
 Always inspect for evidence of leakage prior to moving – do not move if a leak is detected, find a safe
way to fix the leak, decant the substance or contain the spill first;
PT. Leighton Contractors Indonesia Page 8 of 18
BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

 Check the route is clear of obstacles and hazards;

 Secure the load when moving hazardous substances;
 If using a forklift, travel at slow speeds and only an approved lifting attachment should be used to avoid
the potential for puncturing the container by the forklift tynes;

1.7.3 Decanting
Transfer / decanting of liquids from large containers into smaller ones must occur within a bunded area or on
an impervious surface that drains to a collection point.
All decanted liquid shall be placed into labelled containers when they are not being used immediately by the
person decanting the substance. PPE shall be available as required by MSDS and be worn.
Where possible, the appropriate devices/structures shall be set up to minimise any possibility of accidental
spillage during decanting, e.g. bunding, drip trays etc.
Any area where decanting takes place shall be equipped with an appropriate spill kit and personnel trained in
its use.
1.7.4 Workshop and In-Field Servicing and Refuelling
All servicing and maintenance work, either in the field or in the workshop, shall be undertaken in a manner to
reduce the potential for the accidental release of hydrocarbons to the environment. Precautions to be taken
include:
 locate workshops and undertake field servicing at safe distances from local waterways / water supplies;
 service trucks to carry spill kits to clean up any hydrocarbon spills during field servicing;
 trays containing absorbent material will be placed under local work areas to collect drips or small oil
spills, for example, when removing hydraulic hoses and / or changing oil filters;
 all used absorbent material and waste oil will be safely stored in designated containers prior to off site
disposal;
 oily rags are not to accumulate on the back of service trucks or to litter the workshop floor – they should
be disposed of in hazardous waste receptacles as soon as practicable, which, at the least means by the
end of each day;
 for cleaning oily equipment or parts, it is preferred to use either high-pressure water cleaners or “quick-
break” degreasers (that drain to a separation unit) rather than solvent based cleaners. This will assist
the separation of oil;
 all service vehicles are to be kept clean and tidy – to avoid the accumulation of litter and dust as both
are possible sources of ignition. Vehicles are to be cleaned regularly in designated heavy vehicle wash
bays; and
 rehabilitation of workshop areas should to be an important activity during project decommissioning –
check specifications made by the Client in contractual documents.

1.8 Disposal / Return of Hazardous Materials

It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to establish the project’s waste disposal system – consultation
with the Client about their systems, requirements and facilities will be required.
The system should clearly identify main waste streams at the project (including any hazardous waste), identify
convenient waste collection points around the site (at the point of waste generation), arrange for waste
containers to be located at these collection points and arrange for transport off-site for recycling, re-use or
disposal.
The Project Manager shall ensure that only licensed carriers and facilities are used to transport and process
hazardous waste. Documentation shall be use to track hazardous materials from point of generation to point
of disposal.

BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

All workers have a general duty of care to behave in an environmentally responsible manner when disposing
of hazardous materials. To fulfil this duty, workers shall:
 follow the manufacturer’s instructions for managing disposal – check disposal information provided
on the MSDS located in the work area;
 follow relevant site instructions about waste disposal – BU3-HSE-SOP-210 Waste Management;
 identify and segregate waste from hazardous materials at the point of generation – do not co-mingle
hazardous waste with other waste streams;
 use disposal containers specifically provided at the project for hazardous materials – put the waste in
the correctly coloured container; and
 maintain good-house keeping around hazardous waste disposal containers – keep lids on to avoid
ingress of water and preventing local fauna from consuming/spreading contaminated materials.
Do not litter in the vicinity of hazardous waste materials as this can result in a possible ignition
source.
If in doubt, contact the site’s Environmental Representative for advice and information about disposal
arrangements for hazardous materials on-site and the HSE Manager for information about national, statutory
requirements for managing hazardous waste.
No outdated hazardous materials are to remain on site. They shall be disposed of in accordance with
specifications in the MSDS and through sub-contractors licensed to transport hazardous materials to licensed
waste processing facilities.
Records of disposal of hazardous materials shall be retained by the project (5 years). Details shall be kept of,
as a minimum: date, amount, carrier, type of waste, and final destination.

1.9 Environmental Emergencies

Examples of potential environmental emergencies associated with hazardous materials include:
 land and water contamination from spills;
 air contamination from the release of hazardous fumes / vapour / mist; and
 environmental damage (eg, to flora and fauna) from chemical fires.
The project, either on its own or in conjunction with the Client, shall maintain relevant Emergency Response
Plans and capability to respond quickly and appropriately to potential environmental emergencies that have
been identified for the project. This includes trained, competent personnel and suitable, well-maintained
equipment.
All environmental emergencies shall be treated and investigated as an incident to establish root causes and
prevent repeat occurrences. All environmental incidents shall be reported to the Project Manager and the
Company HSE Manager. Some may be reportable to national authorities – check local legislative
requirements for information on reportable environmental incidents.
All persons not directly concerned with the emergency response should be evacuated and excluded from the
area of contamination.
Further information about the management of emergencies can be found in the following instructions:
 BU3-HSE-PRO-010 Emergency management

1.10 Monitoring, Measurement & Performance

In order to monitor any environmental impacts arising from use of hazardous materials in LCI Operations a
formal program needs to be developed and implemented that relates to the significant impacts identified from
due diligence assessments, EIA’s, Aspects Impacts Register or JSEA’s developed during the Project Life
Cycle. In this respect all Projects must comply with the following Procedures:
 BU3-HSE-PRO-002 HSE Legal Compliance;

PT. Leighton Contractors Indonesia Page 10 of 18

BU3-ENV-SOP-011 Rev 01
12 January 2020
BU3 Standard Operating Procedure – Health, Safety and Environment

Hazardous Materials Management

 BU3-HSE-PRO-003 HSE Objectives and Performance;

 BU3-HSE-PRO-007 HSE Audits.
Depending upon the nature of the project, a typical environmental monitoring program should consider the
following activities:
 Audits / inspections / review of information available on site about hazardous materials and its general
accessibility;
 Periodic compliance checks and / or audits of the sub-contractor (s) transporting hazardous materials to
and from site should be undertaken for the duration of the contract;
 Scheduled and random inspections of site storage areas – check for breaks or cracks in the containment
system, liquid or material on the floor to indicate leaks or spills, ignition sources, incorrectly stored
material and damaged and unsafe storage racks and supports.
 Review / audit of compliance with legal and LCI requirements for the management of hazardous
materials – to detecting any correct any potential legal non-conformances;
 Safety behavioural observations of handling practices for hazardous materials; and
 Air / water quality monitoring to detect any contamination above threshold levels – baseline levels should
be established at the start-up of the project.

1.11 Non-compliance & Reporting

Where the monitoring or auditing programmes have identified environmental non-compliance to either internal
or external requirements for the management of hazardous materials, the following procedures must be
complied with:
 BU3-HSE-PRO-002 HSE Legal Compliance
 BU3-HSE-PRO-011 HSE Incidents Management
 BU3-HSE-PRO-013 HSE Reports
Any deficiencies in systems, suggestions for continuous improvement and non-conformances that are
identified during audits and inspections shall be formally recorded, their implications assessed, and corrective
actions prioritised and acted upon.
The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring close-out of actions arising from audits and inspections.

1.12 Training and Competencies

The Project Manager shall ensure that training is provided to all workers required to transport (on-site), store,
handle or dispose of hazardous substances. As a minimum:
