This document is Eskom's internal procedure for managing substance abuse in the workplace. It applies to all Eskom employees, contractors, consultants, and visitors while on duty, reporting for duty, or visiting any Eskom premises or work site. The procedure aims to comply with statutory requirements, provide a healthy and safe working environment, identify and prevent substance abuse, reduce losses and incidents, and support rehabilitation through employee assistance.

All substance abuse testing and screening equipment must be calibrated and maintained according to the manufacturer's specifications. Calibration must occur at least every six months, and a complete record must be kept in a dedicated register. Instruments that have not been calibrated within the specified period must not be used. The sensor should have a warranty period of at least 24 months. Equipment must be stored safely, marked with unique identification, and used only by certified testers.

Eskom's procedure for managing substance abuse in the workplace, covering the rules for employees, contractors, consultants, and visitors; identification of persons under the influence; alcohol and drug screening and testing procedures; testing equipment requirements; refusal to undergo testing; call-out and standby procedures; disciplinary process; rehabilitation; and confidentiality.

Employees will not be remunerated for the period not worked as a result of being under the influence. Contractor management and consultants are encouraged to adopt a similar stance regarding their employees.

This attachment is Eskom's internal procedure 32-95 (Revision 9) for managing occupational health and safety incidents. It applies to Eskom employees, contractors, and the public affected by Eskom activities. The procedure sets out the full incident management workflow: identification, emergency response, notification and reporting, prioritisation, classification and recording, investigation, corrective actions, close-out, and communication. It defines incident categories (accident, fatality, first-aid injury, lost-time injury, medical injury, near-miss, occupational disease, serious incident) and assigns responsibilities, including reporting to the Compensation Commissioner and escalation to the Safety Data Integrity Committee. Contractors must comply with this procedure for Eskom reporting purposes, and must cooperate with Eskom investigations; failure to cooperate may lead to further contractual and legal steps.

Eskom enforces six Life-Saving Rules with zero tolerance at all its sites. The rules are: open, isolate, test, earth and create an equipotential zone before touching electrical apparatus; hook up at height; buckle up; be sober; ensure a valid permit to work; and ensure safe live working. Violations are treated as serious misconduct and trigger disciplinary action. Contractors must remove any employee who violates a rule from site and start disciplinary proceedings within five working days. Contractors must also ensure employees are trained, authorised, and medically fit for tasks, and that pre-task risk assessments are completed.

The tenderer must complete and sign Form A to acknowledge and accept Eskom's Supplier Quality Requirements as per specification 240-105658000 and the ISO 9001 standard. The form requires the tenderer to indicate, by marking with an X or -, the applicability of each quality requirement clause. Only one category may be selected; Category 3 is selected for this tender. The tenderer must also indicate whether a site assessment is applicable. The form covers pre-contract award quality requirements, post-contract award requirements (including contract execution, supplier quality performance monitoring, Eskom rights of access and information, preservation, quality audits, management of nonconformities, and special processes), and the ISO 9001 clauses and quality principles.

OHS compliance: bidders must be able to comply with Eskom's OHS risk assessment procedure.

Contractor baseline risk assessment: a contractor baseline risk assessment must be part of the OHS plan and is an essential consideration before contract award.

OH HIRA competence: occupational hygiene hazard identification and risk assessment must be performed by a competent person meeting the stated experience and training requirements.

Eskom has adopted a value of Zero Harm, requiring all business to be conducted with respect and care for people and the environment.

The OHS risk assessment process ensures that Eskom can proactively identify, predict, evaluate, and control the actual and potential impact on health, safety, environment, socio-economic conditions, and cultural heritage.

The process allows for hazards, risks, causes, and consequences to be identified and controlled, minimising negative impact and maximising benefits.

This promotes compliance with legal requirements and principles of occupational health and safety.

Risk assessment methodology: baseline risk assessments identify general hazards, while issue-based assessments evaluate task-specific risks, using a qualitative checklist method for pre-task assessments.

The process includes risk evaluation, control adequacy and effectiveness checks, and requires the development of method statements, SOPs, and emergency plans based on the assessments.

The Risk and Sustainability Division shall ensure that this procedure is complied with through conducting inspections and reviews to measure compliance.

The general manager (Risk and Sustainability) is accountable for the overall direction and function of Eskom's risk management programme and reports back directly to the holdings board, through the Board Risk Management Committee.

B-BBEE Minimum Level: 1

No specific requirements found

Risk assessment consequence ratings: 6 = multiple fatalities; 5 = fatality or life-threatening health effects; 4 = lost-time injury; irreversible health effects/occupational disease with permanent consequence; 3 = medical treatment case; occupational disease with reversible/non-permanent effect; 2 = first-aid treatment case and temporary discomfort case; 1 = no injuries or health effects (near misses).

Likelihood ratings: A = highly unlikely (more than a '100 year event', <5% probability); B = unlikely (could occur in 'years to decades', 5-20% probability); C = possible (could occur within 'months to years', 20-70% probability); D = likely (could occur within 'weeks to months', 70-90% probability); E = unavoidable (could occur within 'days to weeks', >90% probability).

Risk priority levels: I = very high, immediate action required; II = high, strong mandatory action required; III = medium, action required possibly at administrative level; IV = low, minor or no action required.

Risk treatment hierarchy: elimination (physically remove the hazard), substitution (replace the hazard), engineering controls (isolate people from the hazard), administrative controls (change the way people work), personal protective equipment (protect the worker with PPE).

Risk assessments shall be reviewed every two years where a frequency is not prescribed by specific regulations or standards.

Risk assessment results shall be documented and communicated to all affected stakeholders through OHS induction, tool box talks, emergency plans, signage, formal training, procedures, guidelines, and standards.

All projects, including non-construction work, must have OHS risk assessments conducted.

Contractors must comply with Eskom's risk assessment requirements and submit risk assessments before work begins.

The document applies throughout Eskom and its subsidiaries, and compliance is mandatory.

• Comply with Eskom OHS procedures and standards, including the OHS Risk Assessment Procedure (32-520), Life Saving Rules (240-62196227), Incident Management (32-95), Right of Refusal to Work (240-43848327), Vehicle and Driver Safety (240-62946386), PPE (240-44175132), Substance Abuse (32-37), Baseline Risk Assessment, Working at Heights (32-418), and the Peaking OU Contractor OHS&Q Management Plan (167A/13846).
• After contract award, align company processes to Eskom's OHS requirements.
• Ensure all employees undergo the relevant Eskom induction.
• The main contractor must demonstrate the process and criteria for appointing subcontractors, notify Eskom before appointing them, ensure they have adequate resources and competencies, and manage their compliance through audits and assessments.
• Non-conformance to Eskom or statutory OHS requirements will incur financial penalties.
• Work stoppages due to OHS issues do not warrant financial compensation claims against Eskom.
• Eskom may request testimonials/references and client contact details to verify the contractor's experience.
• The acknowledgement form (Annexure B) must be signed by an authorised person (CEO/Director/Managing Director) and witnessed by two witnesses.

The contractor must comply with Eskom OHS requirements, including procedures and standards such as the OHS Risk Assessment Procedure, Life Saving Rules, Incident Management, Right of Refusal to Work, Vehicle and Driver Safety, PPE, Substance Abuse, Baseline Risk Assessment, Working at Heights, and the Peaking OU Contractor OHS&Q Management Plan. After contract award, the contractor must align its processes to Eskom's OHS requirements. Penalties will be enforced for non-conformance to Eskom or statutory OHS requirements. Work stoppages due to OHS issues do not warrant financial compensation claims against Eskom. All employees must undergo relevant Eskom induction. The main contractor must demonstrate contractor/supplier selection criteria, notify Eskom before appointing them, ensure adequate resources and competencies, manage and monitor their compliance through audits, and handle non-conformances directly. Eskom may verify this and request testimonials/references.

The main contractor is responsible for managing subcontractors, including:

• Providing grounds for termination of work done by subcontractors.
• Handling all non-conformances/non-compliance by subcontractors (all tiers) directly, through performance and penalty processes.
• Eskom reserves the right to verify subcontractor management and may request testimonials/references and client contact details for similar work.

This guideline assists Supplier Quality Management (SQM) representatives in selecting appropriate and relevant supplier quality requirements, as per QM 58 specification, during external sourcing of products, services, and processes. It applies throughout Eskom Holdings Limited divisions and subsidiaries for all procurement transactions (tenders, RFQs, and contracts).

Supplier quality requirements are selected based on two elements: value and risk. Value thresholds follow the PPPFA: low value (R30,000 to R50 million) uses the 80/20 preference point system; high value (above R50 million) uses the 90/10 system. Risk is assessed by the impact on Eskom's core business (network vs non-network). Four categories of quality requirements apply:

• Category 1 (High Risk – High Value): ISO 9001 certification is mandatory; contract cannot be awarded without a valid certificate.
• Category 2 (Low Risk – High Value): ISO 9001 not mandatory, but quality requirements still apply.
• Category 3 (High Risk – Low Value): Quality management system must be established and documented.
• Category 4 (Low Risk – Low Value): For non-technical, off-the-shelf products or services.

This document is a guideline for selecting supplier quality requirements for Eskom tenders. It applies to all procurement transactions across Eskom Holdings divisions and subsidiaries. The selection considers the complexity, risk, value, and duration of the contract. For complex transactions involving installation, manufacturing, testing, or commissioning, a Quality Control Plan (QCP) or Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is required regardless of category.

The selection of supplier quality requirements is based on two main elements: value and risk. Value is determined from procurement and considers the tender or enquiry value, complexity, and duration. Risk is based on the technical specification or scope of work and its impact on Eskom's core business. Requirements are categorized into four categories: Category 1 (High Risk – High Value) requires ISO 9001 certification; Category 2 (Low Risk – High Value) applies when value is high but ISO 9001 is not mandatory; Category 3 (High Risk – Low Value) requires a documented QMS; Category 4 (Low Risk – Low Value) for non-technical, off-the-shelf items. Value thresholds follow the PPPFA: low value R30k–R50M (80/20), high value above R50M (90/10).

Quality requirements are selected based on value and risk. Categories:

• Category 1 (High Risk – High Value): ISO 9001 certification mandatory.
• Category 2 (Low Risk – High Value): ISO 9001 not mandatory.
• Category 3 (High Risk – Low Value): Quality management system must be established and documented.
• Category 4 (Low Risk – Low Value): Non-technical, off-the-shelf items.

For complex transactions (installation, manufacturing, testing, commissioning), a Quality Control Plan (QCP) or Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is required. Exemptions may apply for low-risk, low-value transactions using the Exemption Certificate (240-144723833).

Quality requirements are selected based on the value and risk of the tender. For Category 1 (High Risk – High Value), a valid ISO 9001 certificate is mandatory. For Category 3 (High Risk – Low Value), a documented quality management system is required. Exemptions from quality requirements may apply for low-value, low-risk transactions (above LPO limit but below R1 million) using the Exemption Certificate (240-144723833), typically for off-the-shelf items requiring no modification. All LPOs approved by cost centre managers are exempt from quality requirements.

For complex transactions including installation, manufacturing, testing, commissioning, a Quality Control Plan (QCP) or Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is required. All LPOs approved by cost centre managers are exempted from quality requirements. Other procurement transactions above LPO limit but less than R1 million with low complexity and low risk may be exempted using the Exemption Certificate, typically for off-the-shelf items requiring no modification. A business unit may develop a list of frequently purchased items requiring no quality assessment, approved by both quality management and line function.

This memorandum from the General Manager of the Peaking Operating Unit sets out PPE compliance obligations for all contractor and Eskom Peaking employees. It requires consistent application of the Eskom PPE Standard (240-44175132) to promote safety and prevent operational disruptions. Persistent PPE non-compliance has been identified during BSO activities, housekeeping, and plant walkdowns, and features in monthly outage management reports. Business Units must issue clear PPE compliance instructions.

Memorandum date: 04 February 2026

Contact: Avi Singh

Role: General Manager, Peaking Operating Unit

Telephone: +27 21 941 5800

Address: Peaking Business Unit Durbanville Office

Purpose: clarify roles, responsibilities, and consequence management for PPE compliance for all contractor employees and Eskom Peaking employees.

Applicable standard: Eskom PPE Standard (240-44175132).

Contract Custodians must:

• Include the PPE Standard in all Pricing Schedules/Bills of Quantities (BoQ) and enforce compliance.
• Identify minimum PPE requirements for contractor employees based on contract duration.
• Include non-compliance clauses in new contracts to prevent contractors charging standing time from work stoppage.
• Ensure contractors apply consequence management for non-compliant employees.

Contractor Companies must:

• Issue PPE based on risk assessments.
• Ensure PPE procured complies with the Eskom PPE Standard.
• Regularly inspect employee PPE for suitability and compliance.
• Provide training on PPE usage and maintenance.
• Apply consequence management for non-compliant employees.
• Sign off on PPE verification.
• Issue PPE free of charge as per General Safety Regulations.

Safety Department must:

• Ensure PPE costs are included in tender Pricing Schedules/BoQs.
• Create awareness on PPE compliance and Eskom procedures through SHE induction.
• Conduct contractor audits and inspections to monitor PPE compliance.

PPE compliance is mandatory for all contractor and Eskom Peaking employees.

Non-compliance consequences:

• Contractor employees not complying must stop work immediately and leave the site; supervisors, site managers, and contract custodians must be informed.
• If PPE was issued and the employee failed to use it, the employee must be suspended and consequence management implemented.
• If the company failed to issue PPE, work must stop until PPE is issued, proof submitted, and an NCR issued.
• Eskom employees not complying must stop work until an inquiry determines facts; if willful failure to use issued PPE, the manager must initiate consequence management and submit outcomes to the Safety Department.

PPE compliance is mandatory. Contract Custodians must include the PPE Standard in Pricing Schedules/BoQs and enforce compliance. Contractor Companies must issue PPE based on risk assessments, ensure PPE complies with the Eskom PPE Standard, inspect PPE, provide training, apply consequence management, sign off on PPE verification, and issue PPE free of charge. The Safety Department must ensure PPE costs are included in tender Pricing Schedules/BoQs, create awareness through SHE induction, and conduct audits. Non-compliant contractor employees must stop work and leave the site; if PPE was issued, suspension and consequence management follow. If the company failed to issue PPE, work stops until PPE is issued, proof submitted, and an NCR issued. Eskom employees not complying must stop work until an inquiry; willful failure leads to consequence management.
