This attachment is Eskom's internal Occupational Health and Safety Incident Management Procedure (document 32-95, revision 9). It sets out how Eskom manages OHS incidents across its operations, including identification, emergency response, notification, prioritisation, classification, investigation, corrective actions, close-out and communication. The procedure applies to Eskom employees, contractors and affected members of the public, and is effective from 1 April 2021. It is not a tender-specific requirement document.

All health and safety incidents must be investigated, except non-work-related incidents occurring outside workplace boundaries. Investigation reports are controlled disclosure documents. Repeat incidents must consider ineffective corrective actions from previous incidents. Investigations must identify direct and root causes, system failures, and corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Contractors must cooperate with Eskom investigations; if they do not, Eskom will take further steps to identify causes and implement corrective actions. Corrective actions must be risk-assessed to avoid introducing new risks, and periodic status reports must be provided from SAP EH&S until all recommendations are closed out.

This attachment is Eskom's Occupational Health and Safety Incident Management Procedure (32-95, Rev 9). It defines the process for managing OHS incidents including identification, emergency response, notification, prioritisation, classification, investigation, corrective actions, close-out, and communication. It applies to Eskom employees, contractors, and affected members of the public. Key definitions include accident, fatality, first-aid injury, lost-time injury, medical injury, OHS event, near-miss, occupational disease, public incident, and serious incident. Responsibilities are assigned to Responsible Managers for implementing the procedure, communicating compliance, and ensuring understanding. Incidents are classified and recorded on SAP EH&S, with disputes referred to the Safety Data Integrity Committee (SDIC). Investigations follow specified procedures, with serious incidents requiring independent chairpersons and legal involvement. Violations include deliberate misinformation, withholding evidence, victimisation, and late notification.

The procedure requires that any OHS incident notification under sections 31 or 32 of the OHS Act, or any summons from the NPA, or any incident with potential liability, must be reported immediately to the Legal Department for attorney appointment. If legal representation is deemed unnecessary, the operating unit must provide a detailed motivation for assessment by Legal. For serious incidents, the investigation committee composition follows specific rules, and the operating unit where the incident occurred must support the investigation logistically and provide secretariat resources. In the case of employee or contractor fatalities, a corporate investigation is initiated by Sustainability Systems, with a preliminary investigation and report required beforehand. Where the Mine Health and Safety Act applies, its investigation process takes precedence.

This is Eskom's procedure for managing substance abuse in the workplace. It aims to comply with statutory requirements, provide a healthy and safe working environment, identify, control and prevent substance abuse, reduce losses and incidents, improve productivity, identify rehabilitation needs, offer employee assistance, prevent abuse of intoxicating substances, and encourage a healthy lifestyle. It applies to all Eskom employees, contractors, consultants, and visitors while on duty or reporting for duty at any Eskom premises or work site, and to all employees who drive vehicles on Eskom business, operate equipment or machinery, or perform tasks on Eskom sites.

Alcohol and drug screening/testing follows a defined process: candidate selection, timing, use of calibrated handheld instruments, a second confirmation test 30 minutes after a positive first test, and handling of positive results. Breathalyser instruments must be portable, have a measuring range of 0 to 1.50 mg/L or 0.000 to 0.300% BAC, operate in specified conditions, and meet other equipment specifications.

All testing and screening equipment must be calibrated and maintained per manufacturer's specifications. Testers and screeners must be competent, formally appointed, and receive refresher training every two years. A maintenance and calibration register must be kept.

Persons under the influence or intoxicated are not allowed access to the workplace or to continue duties. Alcohol and drug consumption is prohibited on Eskom premises or business. Screening and testing may be random or specific; refusal may lead to an adverse inference. Positive results lead to removal from the workplace and safe transport home. Testing applies pre-placement, compulsory, post-accident, on reasonable suspicion, ad hoc, return-to-work, and follow-up. Compliance with occupational health and safety legislation and Eskom Life-Saving Rules is required.

Employees are not paid for time lost while under the influence. Contractors and consultants must arrange transport for their personnel who test positive. Test information and medical records are kept confidential.

Roles and responsibilities are defined for line management, occupational health practitioners, EAP practitioners, SHEQS/safety risk managers, security management, employees, testers, and screeners. Positive test results must be reported, compliance monitored, and disciplinary processes followed, including follow-up testing and potential disciplinary action.
