1. OBJECTIVES

This plan covers a detailed procedure for waste collection, storage and disposal /recycling from our sites, offices as well as workshop. The WMP aims to establish the

procedures in managing general & construction waste and identify the waste strategiesto maximize waste reduction, reuse and recycling. This WMP is instrumental inachieving the waste diversion target by means of proper planning, waste minimizationand prevention strategies for specific materials which can be achieved by propersegregation, storage, reuse, transportation, recycle and disposal as the last option.

All Bauer staff will follow this plan according to the CWM waste reduction policyNADAFA/NWRP/1-Rev01 dated 29/07/12, AD EHSMS CoP 54.0 – Waste Managementand as per Local Authorities Regulations.

5. WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

5.1 Waste Management Hierarchy

The hierarchy of waste management strategy is shown below which will continually

be adopted throughout the company. The options considered preferable will have theleast environmental impacts and are more sustainable in the long term. The general

objective will be to reduce the amount of waste generated by starting at topmost

strategy which is elimination thereby reducing the waste handling and disposal cost

accordingly.

H

ighestPriority

Elimination Elimination of waste completely.

Reduction atSource

The avoidance, reduction or elimination of waste,generally within the confines of the work area, through

changes in processes or procedures.

Reuse,Recycling

The use, reuse and recycling of waste for original orsome other purpose such as input material or materialrecovery.

LowestPriority

Treatment The destruction, detoxification, neutralization, etc., ofwastes into less harmful substances.

Disposal The release of waste to air, water, or land in properlycontrolled or safe ways so as to render them harmless;

land disposal may involve volume reduction,encapsulation, containment and monitoring techniques,depending on the type of material.

5.2 Classification of Wastes

5.2.1 Hazardous Waste

These are materials, which constitute a high degree of hazard to the public

health and the environment. Hazardous waste includes materials, which areignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic, radioactive or infectious. These specially

include:

a) Ignitable waste (Oils)

b) Corrosive liquids

c) Reactive wastes (Chemicals)

d) Radioactive wastes

e) Municipal sludge



IMS/CP/915 of 12

5.2.2 Decomposable Wastes

These are non-hazardous solids and sludge, which are biological or chemically

reactive in the natural environment. Example including papers, wood, household

garbage, some metal, animal waste and digested sewage sludge.

5.2.3 Inert Wastes

These are wastes which are not biologically and chemically reacting in the

natural environment examples include broken glass, concrete and such

materials, broken clay and chinaware, most plastics and manufactured rubber

products and general construction debris.

5.3 Waste Segregation

As part of Bauer waste management plan, waste shall preferably be segregated atthe source. All general waste, food waste, paper & plastic shall be disposed in the

designated bins. All possible means and measures shall be ensured to implement

this strategy. Some segregation may be required at some times which shall be

performed accordingly. Construction waste is segregated in mobile skips as they

are generated from the construction site and taken directly to the Bauer designated

Waste Storage Area. Segregated waste will then be removed off-site for recycling

or disposal by approved ESPs.

5.4 Storage of Waste

All waste shall be segregated. The storage areas shall be easily accessible forcollection vehicles. The waste material shall be removed to the disposal site as

soon as possible after the waste generated.

All solid waste materials will generally be kept in skips / containers. Each

container will be labeled and/or code to sate the particular type of waste that is

permitted to be disposed therein. The use of light weight plastic bags or paper

bags shall not be allowed.

The location for the containers of waste materials shall be selected at proper

locations to prevent a general nuisance, the accumulation of refuse and the

creation of health and fire hazards. Containers for hazardous materials shall

contain tight fitting lids.

Locations will be marked for the storage of construction debris. These materials

shall not be allowed to accumulate to such level they pose a safety hazard. They

shall be removed from site at the earliest opportunity.



IMS/CP/915 of 12

There will be adequate provision to prevent the control of windblown material and

to prevent the spread of pests and foul odors.

5.5 Collection of Waste

All waste generated and stored at sites, workshops and offices shall be collected,

transported and disposed off on regular basis. An approved ESP will be contracted

to conduct collection, transportation and disposal of these trash as per local

requirements. It is necessary that a separate approval from local authorities to be

sought when hazardous waste is to be disposed.

For all locations, where contracted ESP will not be providing any services, the

wastes will be collected in plastic bags and transported to Main workshop for further

storage and disposal by contracted ESP.

5.6 Disposal of Wastes

Disposal is the final stage in Waste Management and all the wastes whether they

are from sites, workshops, offices or from any other sources are collected and

transported to a disposal site. It may be a landfill site or an incinerator or recycling.

A log register shall be maintained in order to record the disposal of different types of

wastes:

WATER WASTE: The water waste consists of the domestic sewage and other

water collected in septic tanks. These tanks will be made from either glassreinforced plastic or reinforced concrete. It shall be sent to sewage treatment

plants or drainage lines via septic collection tanker which shall suck off the waste

water on requirement basis.

SOLID WASTES: Theses solid wastes consist mainly of paper, household

garbage, food, plastic and packing materials. These materials will be contained in

steel skips which will be covered and labeled. The skips will be loaded on a

vehicle, transported and discharged into a designated to approved landfill site or

recycler facility.

HAZARDOUS WASTES: These wastes consist mainly of chemicals, waste oils

and paints. These will be collected and stored in impervious containers which will

be suitably labeled. The storage area for such wastes shall be clearly marked on

site. Such material will usually be disposed off after getting Hazardous materials

disposal permit. In certain cases, the materials will be returned to the supplier for

disposal or can be sent to an incinerator / treatment facility.

6. WASTE MINIMIZATION / REDUCTION PLAN

The following approach has been identified and will be implemented to minimize

waste generation:

Practicing ordering “just in time” reduces the storage period of materials on-

site, thus reducing possibility of potential damage and waste and theft.

As the workforce numbers increase on-site, support resources and services

increase, these include drinking water requirement, food waste removal.

Resource planning with respect to the labour force can minimise the amount

of workers required on-site, hence minimizing waste and reduce cost.

Good office practice must be implemented such as saving/using softcopy

document instead of hardcopy, minimize printing/photocopying, printing on

both sides of papers instead of single-sided and reuse single-sided papers.

Printers are capable for double-sided copying and printing.

Proper protection and storage of materials can reduce damage and maintain

the quality of materials. Protection of existing installed materials is also being

undertaken to avoid damage which will result in waste and cost.

6.1 3Rs program

All efforts must be made for waste minimization techniques like 3Rs (reduce,

reuse and recycling).

Reduce: We shall be reducing the waste generation by changing the design,

manufacturing and purchase process. Waste Reduction Action Plan isattached for the same. (Appendix B)

Reuse: is the preferred method of waste management since it prevents the

generation of waste in the first place. Reuse follows source reduction in the

waste management hierarchy. Normally discarded as waste, such as

appliances, furniture, glass jars, and bottles can be reused as originally

intended or as new products. Reusing by repairing them, donating them to

charity and community groups, or selling them also reduces waste. Reusing,

when possible, is preferable to recycling because this does not need to be

reprocessed before it can be used again.

Recycling: involves the sorting and collection methods of recyclables from the

waste stream, i.e. paper, plastic, wood, glass, steel, waste concrete etc.

6.2 Waste Segregation at source

All BAUER UAE staff will be provided extensive inductions and trainings to

perform waste segregation at source. It will be responsibility of individuals to

manually segregate their waste at the time of generation and dispose accordingly

into the designated or color coded skips / containers.

7. TRAINING

7.1 Training in Hazardous Materials/Waste

Training regarding safe handling of hazardous materials will be provided to the

project team. All staff will be trained in Environmental Incident Procedures as partof the Environmental Induction Training to ensure all staffs are knowledgeable on

response or action to be taken during such incidents. A more detailed and

specific training on Receipt, Storage, Handling and Disposal of Hazardous

Materials will be targeted to the following groups of personnel that have higher

frequencies and possibilities of handling and storing chemicals:

Emergency Response Team

Warehouse/Store Personnel

Receipt, Storage, Handling and Disposal of Hazardous Materials Training will

cover the following subjects:

Hazardous Materials Inventory

Waste Manifest

Recordkeeping/Documentation

Material Safety Data Sheet

Proper storage requirements including chemical compatibility

Spillage and Response

Emergency Response Kit

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Labelling of Hazardous Materials

7.2 Training in Correct Housekeeping and Proper Segregation of Waste

Training to ensure all workers are well-informed in the correct segregation of

waste and good housekeeping. Training will include discussions on strategies

that will be adopted in handling and managing waste from the building in an

efficient way to prevent double handling of waste. Regular sessions using

training materials and actual site situations will be delivered to Bauer

Housekeeping and Environmental team allocated for waste segregation

activities.

7.3 Training on Environmental Incident ProcedureThe Environmental Incident Training Procedure will include the following

subjects:

Potential types of incidents on-site (hydraulic fluid, diesel and petrol etc.)

Emergency contact numbers

Notification of incident

Environmental incident response procedures

8. CALCULATION OF WASTE DIVERSION]

The Waste Diversion will be not less than 20% or higher per annum in order to achieve

TADWEER requirements. To ensure that this target will be maintained, BAUER will

implement all relevant strategies and procedures discussed in this WMP.

Waste removed from the site will be recorded based on waste approximation method

which will reflect the volume of the material and with applicable conversion units in tons.

If the recycler/hauler has a weigh bridge, actual weight will be used for calculation.

Waste diversion maybe calculated either by volume or weight as long as it is consistent

all throughout. BAUER UAE may utilize any of these methods of calculation as long as it

is practicable based on the data available.

As per TADWEER requirements, percentage of waste diverted from landfill is the ratio

of the amount of waste recycled over total amount of waste generated including food

waste. The calculation excludes hazardous waste.

9. WASTE MANAGEMENT IN CAMPS

For camps, food waste shall be collected in large size of plastic bags and put into

covered containers outside the living area. A separate garbage room shall be build

to store these wastes. The waste shall be removed from that garbage room on daily

basis.

The sewage shall be connected to approved local government main sewage line /

collected in Sewage Treatment Plant. The treated water is disposed off for plantation

by local authorities after getting its biological report, suitable for environment. The

solid waste shall be stored in separate containers and shall be disposed off in

municipal landfill.

Domestic waste shall be collected from each living cabins and from trash containers

on daily basis in plastic bags. The waste shall be stored in camp garbage room to

dispose it off on daily basis.
