The document does not specify eligibility for the scrap removal tender. It implies that any contractor working on Eskom sites must adhere to the Life-Saving Rules and related safety procedures, and must manage their employees' compliance.

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

leave the Eskom premises with immediate effect should they refuse to do so.

2. Supporting Clauses

Eskom, and Eskom’s intention to enforce “ZERO TOLERANCE” with respect to non-adherence to

2.1.2 Applicability

This standard shall apply throughout Eskom Holdings SOC Limited, its divisions, subsidiaries, and

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.

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:
