Evaluation Criteria
Source: Eskom life-saving rules.pdf (unknown)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.
Technical Specifications
Source: Eskom life-saving rules.pdf (unknown)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.
2.1 Scope
This standard shall apply at all Eskom sites with the intention to promote a safe working
environment for all Eskom employees, agents, consultants, and contractors. Visitors to Eskom
should also respect and adhere to these rules, as applicable.
2.1.1 Purpose
This standard clarifies the five most prominent causes of serious injuries and fatalities within
Eskom, and Eskom’s intention to enforce “ZERO TOLERANCE” with respect to non-adherence to
these rules, due to the potential consequences of serious injury or fatality at the workplace.
2.1.2 Applicability
This standard shall apply throughout Eskom Holdings SOC Limited, its divisions, subsidiaries, and
entities wherein Eskom has a controlling interest and/or Eskom contractors, unless specifically
exempted by Sustainability Systems, where the business transacted may be of a completely
different nature to the core business of Eskom.
2.1.3 Effective date
This document will be effective from the date of authorisation.

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;
f) He/she makes the specific electrical environment safe prior to performing the work; and
g) All the appropriate PPE (including face shield and insulated gloves for low voltage work) are

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:

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.
