The document is Eskom's Life-Saving Rules standard (240-62196227, Rev 6), not the tender specification. It applies to all Eskom employees, agents, consultants, and contractors at all Eskom sites. It enforces zero tolerance for behaviours that could cause serious injury or fatality. The five rules are: 1) OPEN, ISOLATE, TEST, EARTH, BOND, AND/OR INSULATE BEFORE TOUCH - no work on electrical networks without proper training, permits, risk assessments, and PPE. 2) HOOK UP AT HEIGHTS - no work at height without medical fitness, risk assessment, training, and fall arrest systems. 3) BUCKLE UP - mandatory seatbelt use in all vehicles. 4) BE SOBER - no working under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 5) ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE A PERMIT TO WORK - no work without the required permit. Violations result in disciplinary action, and contractors must remove and discipline employees who violate these rules.

{"name":null,"email":null,"phone":null,"department":"....................................................................... 5","address":null}

Bidders must be pre-qualified scrap dealers. Compliance with Eskom's Life-Saving Rules is mandatory; violations will result in disciplinary action and potential suspension of contractor activities.

Eskom and its subsidiaries will conduct business with respect and care for people to ensure that no

operating condition or urgency of service endangers the life of anyone or causes injury or damage

to the environment. Eskom is committed to preventing all work-related injuries. In fulfilling this

commitment to protect people, the environment and property, management will provide and

maintain a safe and healthy work environment, in accordance with industry standards and in

compliance with legislative requirements.

At-risk behaviour leads to incidents. Life-saving Rules are safety rules that have been created to

enforce zero tolerance for serious at-risk behaviours. These rules have been determined in terms

of the consequences of the behaviours they describe, that is, if a particular set of behaviours or

actions has a very high probability of causing disabilities or fatalities when performed.

The Eskom Life-saving Rules complement our existing safety best practices and are safety rules to

be followed at all locations.

The Life-saving Rules apply to all Eskom employees, agents, consultants, and contractors. Visitors

to Eskom should also respect and adhere to these rules as applicable and could be instructed to

3. Document Content

Life-saving Rules are safety rules that, if not adhered to, have the potential to cause serious harm

to people. The consequences of a person knowingly and wilfully violating these rules will result in a

disciplinary process in accordance with the Eskom Disciplinary Code and Procedure.

The objective of this standard is to clarify Eskom’s intention to enforce “ZERO TOLERANCE” with

respect to behaviour resulting in serious risk to an individual at the workplace.

It must be noted that the content of this standard does not detract from the requirements for safe

behaviour for all other work-related activities or other safety requirements, but emphasises the

importance thereof.

the apparatus is safe to work on;

g) All the appropriate PPE (including face shield and insulated gloves for low voltage work) are

worn.

3.1.2 Rule 2: hook up at heights

Working at height is a significant part of work in Eskom Holdings and is regarded as a high-risk

activity, and as a result all precautions must be taken to prevent incidents while working at height.

Wherever reasonably practicable, preference must be given to the performance of work at ground

level as opposed to work in an elevated position. Where work in an elevated position is necessary,

the requirements in this document shall apply.

No person may work at height where there is a risk of falling unless:

irrespective of when the substance was used.

standards and procedures. Outline the key principles or rules to support the implementation of the

standard statement.

3.2 Consequences of violating a Life-Saving Rule

In terms of general health and safety in Eskom, if any of the Life-saving Rules are violated, it will

be treated as a serious misconduct, and result in a disciplinary process in accordance with the

Eskom Disciplinary Code and Procedure.

It must be highlighted that Eskom takes a ZERO TOLERANCE stance to violation of these rules.

Depending on the circumstances, Eskom reserves the right, where a contractor

manager/supervisor allows the violation of a Life-saving Rule, to suspend the contractor’s activities

while determining an appropriate sanction.

In the light of a contractor employee allegedly violating a Life-saving Rule, the contractor shall

immediately remove the employee from site and initiate the disciplinary process. The contractor

shall investigate any violation of a Life-saving Rule and initiate the disciplinary process within five

(5) working days of the violation. The contractor shall after the disciplinary process furnish Eskom

with a copy of the sanction.
