This is Eskom's Occupational Health and Safety Incident Management Procedure (Document 32-95, Revision 9). It is not a tender scope description. The document:

• Sets out the high-level intention and requirements for managing incidents (near misses, property damage, injuries, occupational diseases/illnesses, fatalities).
• Aims to reduce risk, ensure effective incident management, accurate classification and recording, prompt investigation, proactive near-miss reporting, and learning from incidents.
• Applies throughout Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd, its groups, divisions, subsidiaries, and entities where Eskom has a controlling interest. It applies to Eskom employees, contractors, and affected members of the public.
• Is based on Eskom's SHEQ Policy and commitment to Zero Harm.
• Supersedes other procedures for OHS incident interpretation.
• Became effective on 1 April 2021.

While specific gardening service eligibility criteria are not provided in this document, contractors must demonstrate: compliance with Eskom's OHS procedures; capability to implement incident management processes; understanding of OHS definitions and classifications; ability to use SAP EH&S for incident recording; commitment to Zero Harm philosophy; and willingness to participate in Eskom's OHS monitoring and audit processes. Contractors working at multi-employer sites must comply with this procedure for Eskom reporting purposes.

This document is an Occupational Health and Safety Incident Management Procedure, not a tender technical specification. The content describes:

• Eskom's SHEQ Policy principles.
• The scope, purpose, and applicability of the incident management procedure.
• Detailed definitions of incidents (accident, fatality, first-aid injury, lost-time injury, medical injury, OHS event, near-miss, occupational disease, public incident, serious incident).
• Roles and responsibilities of Responsible Managers.
• The incident management process steps: identification, emergency response, notification, prioritisation, classification, recording, investigation, corrective actions, close-out, and communication.
• Investigation requirements and committee compositions for different incident severities.
• Corrective action management and hierarchy of controls.
• Communication protocols for incidents.

The document details investigation and corrective action processes as part of incident management quality:

• All investigation reports are controlled disclosure documents.
• All health and safety incidents (excluding certain non-work-related ones) must be investigated.
• Ineffective corrective actions from previous incidents must be considered during repeat incident investigations.
• Contractors conducting their own investigations must submit reports to the relevant OU/BU or the Department of Employment on request. Eskom may participate.
• Investigation reports must include incident details, consequences, risk of reoccurrence, root causes, system failures, corrective actions, and lessons learnt.
• Corrective actions must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timeous (SMART).
• The effectiveness of corrective actions must be verified, and ineffective actions must be revised.
• Risk assessment must ensure corrective actions do not create additional risks.

The document outlines compliance with Eskom's internal Occupational Health and Safety Incident Management Procedure. Key points:

• The procedure applies to Eskom employees, contractors, and members of the public affected by Eskom's activities.
• Contractors must comply with this procedure unless explicitly stated otherwise.
• Responsible Managers must ensure understanding and compliance, communicate duty of care, and implement monitoring.
• Compliance is audited through a tiered audit process.
• The procedure references numerous legislative acts and Eskom standards, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act, COIDA, Mine Health and Safety Act, and others.
• Non-compliance with specific procedural requirements (e.g., misleading information, withholding evidence, victimisation, incorrect notification, wrong classification, failure to investigate or implement corrective actions) is treated as a violation and may lead to disciplinary hearings.

This is the core Occupational Health and Safety Incident Management Procedure. It includes:

• Detailed definitions of OHS incidents, injuries, and events.
• Roles and responsibilities for preventing incidents and harm.
• The full incident management process: identification, emergency response, notification, prioritisation, classification, recording, investigation, corrective actions, close-out, and communication.
• Specific requirements for emergency response, evidence preservation, and stakeholder notification.
• Investigation committee compositions for different incident severities (OU/BU, serious, corporate/fatality).
• Protocols for interactions with government agencies and contractors.
• Guidance on disciplinary hearings related to OHS incident management non-compliance.

The document explicitly states that environmental requirements have been excluded from this revision of the procedure (as per revision history note for October 2017).

The document outlines procedural terms for incident management, not tender contractual terms. Key points relevant to contractors:

• In case of legal notifications (OHS Act sections 31/32, summons from NPA, potential liability), the relevant OU/BU must immediately contact Eskom's Legal Department.
• Disputes regarding incident classification are referred to the Safety Data Integrity Committee (SDIC) for review and direction.
• For serious incidents or fatalities, if potential liability exists, the OU/BU must provide a motivation to Legal and Sustainability Systems Departments for advice.
• Where the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA) applies, its investigation process is followed.

• Closing date: 01 April 2023.

• Complete the tenderer details section:

• Name of tenderer.
• Tenderer representative.
• Representative signature.
• Date.

additional period if Eskom requests the tenderer to do so. A tenderer that agrees to extend

This is Eskom's Life-Saving Rules Standard. It outlines the company's commitment to safety and the six critical rules designed to prevent serious injuries and fatalities. The rules apply to all Eskom employees, agents, consultants, and contractors working at Eskom sites. The document provides definitions, roles, and detailed requirements for each rule.

The document states an effective date of authorisation but no specific tender closing date, briefings, or site visits are mentioned in the extracted content. The tender's closing date is provided in the tender record as 2026-08-14.

While explicit financial or operational criteria are not in this document, any eligible contractor must: 1) Accept and comply fully with this Eskom Life-Saving Rules Standard. 2) Have a proven Health & Safety management system aligned with ISO 45001 and the OHS Act. 3) Ensure all personnel are medically fit, trained, and competent for tasks (e.g., working at height if applicable). 4) Have a disciplinary process to handle rule violations by their employees as per Eskom's requirements. 5) Understand that violation can lead to suspension of site activities and removal of personnel.

The tender requires strict adherence to Eskom's Life-Saving Rules and associated safety standards. Key points for bidders:

• The Life-Saving Rules apply to all contractors and their employees working at Eskom sites.
• The six Life-Saving Rules cover: electrical safety (isolate, test, earth), working at height, vehicle seatbelt use, sobriety on site, permit-to-work systems, and safe live working procedures.
• Contractors must ensure their personnel are trained, competent, medically fit where required, and use approved safety equipment.
• Pre-task risk assessments and fall protection plans are mandatory for relevant tasks.
• Eskom enforces a zero-tolerance policy for violations, leading to disciplinary action and potential suspension of contract activities.

For live work, the methodology requires adherence to basic live work principles, maintaining minimum approach distances, and never mixing live and dead work on the same site simultaneously.

The standard indicates compliance is monitored through annual audit and inspection plans. It references superseded versions and an acknowledgement form as supporting documents.

The document specifies extensive health and safety compliance obligations for contractors:

• Contractors must comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and a suite of Eskom standards and procedures, including those for contractor health and safety, substance abuse, incident management, and personal protective equipment.
• The definition of 'Contractor' is broad, covering any employer performing work for Eskom.
• Violation of Life-Saving Rules is treated as serious misconduct, triggering a disciplinary process. Contractors must investigate violations within 5 working days, remove employees from site, and provide Eskom with disciplinary outcomes.
• No specific requirements for CSD, tax, B-BBEE, CIDB, or CIPC are mentioned in the provided text.

This is the core content of the Life-Saving Rules Standard. It mandates:

• A zero-tolerance stance on violations of six key safety rules.
• Contractors are fully bound by these rules and associated Eskom procedures.
• Detailed requirements for electrical safety, working at height, vehicle safety, sobriety, permit-to-work, and live working.
• Contractors must ensure employee training, competence, and use of correct PPE.
• Violations lead to immediate disciplinary action, removal from site, and reporting to Eskom.

The document references ISO 9001 and Eskom's SHEQ Policy as normative standards. No detailed scoring criteria for tender evaluation are provided.
