It applies from inception to completion of the contract/transaction.
Scope outlines key responsibilities of procurement professionals, contract/project managers, line management, suppliers, and OHS professionals.
Minimum OHS requirements must be addressed during project initiation, tender enquiry, supplier registration, site access, performance monitoring, contract completion, and work stoppage instances.
Purpose is to guide Eskom employees in OHS-related activities from procurement to contract end, ensuring standardisation.
Applicable throughout Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd, its divisions, subsidiaries, and entities where Eskom has controlling interest.

Contract custodian must ensure contractor non-conformances on OHS obligations are addressed, recorded, and submitted to Procurement for future reference.
After procurement concludes for national/divisional contracts, handover to site OHS professional where work/service is conducted.
For national/divisional contracts, when supplier mobilises to site, Eskom site manager takes responsibility ensuring supplier works according to approved OHS plan and provides oversight supervision.
Health and safety specification and baseline risk assessment must be made available to appointed additional contractors.
37(2) agreement must be signed by contract custodian and contractor/supplier when signing contract.
Continual OHS performance monitoring: Eskom conducts risk-based inspections, audits, and blitz inspections; construction work contractors audited per legal requirements; non-construction work audit frequency determined by risk.
Contract custodian must ensure monitoring mechanisms (audits, reviews) instituted with OHS professional support to ensure compliance.
Management of contractors: contract custodian ensures principal contractor notified of accountability for employees/contractors/suppliers and their compliance.
Non-conformances dealt with via approved Eskom contractor management processes (e.g., supplier reconsideration review committee).
Post contract review: contract custodian informs supplier about OHSKPIs before work commences; OHS professional assists setting KPIs and prepares OHS component for review.

Roles and responsibilities defined for designers, procurement practitioners, contract custodians, line managers, OHS professionals, construction and safety agents, and suppliers.
Designers must incorporate OHS requirements into design, considering risks.
Procurement practitioners ensure OHS professional part of multidisciplinary team, OHS requirements provided before enquiry release, and OHS professional participates in meetings leading to contract award.
Contract custodian ensures contract specifies OHS management, OHS professional part of cross-functional team, project-specific OHS requirements provided, OHS costing included in bill of quantities, OHS file evaluated before work commencement, OHS plan audited for compliance, and 37(2) agreement signed.
OHS professionals ensure relevant OHS procedures part of procurement enquiry, compile scope-specific OHS requirements, audit OHS plans, monitor performance, and determine if work falls under construction regulations.
Construction and safety agent responsibilities aligned to Construction Regulations, including preparing baseline risk assessment, providing health and safety specification to designer, facilitating inclusion in tender documents, ensuring principal contractor registered with compensation fund, and conducting periodic audits.
Supplier must provide valid documentation, comply with OHS legislation and Eskom requirements, be conversant with OHS legal obligations, and meet site-specific OHS requirements before work commencement.
Contractual Terms
Source: Contract and Contractor OHS Management.pdf
Contract awarding: All findings in the OHS tender evaluation report must be addressed with the supplier at negotiation; if contract signed before gaps are closed, they become contract conditions with a timeframe.
Contracts must state no work commences before OHS file approval.

This standard outlines Eskom Transmission’s environmental requirements for contractors and suppliers, ensuring sustainable procurement practices and compliance with Zero Harm SHEQ principles.
Suppliers must establish and maintain an Environmental Management System (EMS) for goods, works, or services provided.
The six-phase environmental contractor management model includes: design phase, tender enquiry/evaluation/award, supplier registration, site mobilisation/access, contract execution/monitoring, and post-contract review.
Key roles: Procurement Practitioner, Business Unit Manager, Environmental Practitioner, Contract Custodian, and Supplier/Service Provider.
Appendices provide templates for environmental aspect registers, EMPs, risk assessments, tender returnable forms, and method statements.
Important Dates
Source: Environmental Requirements for Contractors and Suppliers.pdf (unknown)
Tenderers have 7 days to submit outstanding environmental requirements after evaluation if not initially met.
Site visits (if applicable) must be conducted under supervision of the contract custodian and commercial practitioner before tendering.
Clarification meetings include an environmental agenda; records are kept by the commercial team.
All required documentation must be submitted to Transmission within 7 days after contract award.
Environmental file evaluation must be completed before supplier mobilisation; practitioners require at least one week’s notice post-award.
Contact Information

If environmental requirements are not met during evaluation, you have 7 days to submit outstanding documents; failure to do so retains your original score.
All clarifications must be directed to the Eskom Representative (Buyer) listed in the tender document. Direct communication with Environmental Practitioners is prohibited.
Submit all required documentation to Transmission for evaluation within 7 days after contract award.
Supplier may be removed from Eskom’s database (no future business) if found guilty of: three major environmental non-conformances in one financial year, two or more contraventions of environmental legislation, violation of Eskom Life-saving Rules, or submission of fraudulent environmental documents. Reinstatement is possible if cleared.
No Transmission employee may directly terminate or suspend a contractor; referrals must go to the Reconsideration of Supplier Status Committee.
Evaluation Criteria
Source: Environmental Requirements for Contractors and Suppliers.pdf (unknown)
Suppliers must be registered on Eskom’s Transmission vendor database unless exempted.
Suppliers must demonstrate compliance with environmental legislation and Eskom’s environmental standards, providing valid, authentic documentation for evaluation.
Environmental requirements are evaluated based on risk level:
High-risk contracts (widespread/permanent ecological damage or major public health hazards): 'all or nothing' approach. Suppliers must score full points or submit outstanding documents within 7 days; failure retains the original score.
Medium-risk contracts (regional/local impacts, remedied within one year): contractual requirements, may allow for negotiations.
