2.1 Unintentional Acts

These may result from lack of due diligence or human negligence. These acts include poor supervision or inadequate planning, lack of training or competence, equipment failure or improper use, or failure to follow procedures, thereby resulting in accidents, injuries, or property damage.

2.2 Deliberate or Negligent Acts

These are deliberate acts taken by people with intent to cause harm or damage. These acts include willful violation of safety procedures, reckless behaviour or misconduct, or substance abuse on duty. Such actions are strictly prohibited and subject to disciplinary measures.

6.1 Safety First

No task, deadline, or commercial objective is more important than the health and safety of people. All work must be properly planned and executed in a manner that prioritizes safety at all times. Where a conflict arises between safety and operational demands, safety must take precedence. Employees are empowered to stop any activity they consider unsafe without fear of reprisal.

6.2 Zero Harm

The Company is committed to a zero-harm philosophy, which means that all injuries, occupational illnesses, and incidents are considered preventable. We strive to eliminate hazards and reduce risks to the lowest practicable level, recognizing that achieving zero harm requires constant vigilance, discipline, and commitment from all personnel.

6.3 Prevention over Reaction

We adopt a proactive approach to health and safety by identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing control measures before incidents occur. This includes proper planning, risk assessments, method statements, regular inspections, and continuous monitoring of work activities. Preventing incidents is more effective and responsible than reacting after they occur.

6.4 Shared Responsibility

At Roarik, we believe that health and safety is a collective responsibility. Every employee, contractor, and stakeholder has a duty to work safely, follow established procedures, and look out for the safety of others. A strong safety culture depends on active participation and accountability at all levels.

6.5 Compliance

We are committed to complying with all health and safety laws and regulations, including the Factories Act 2004, the Employee Compensation Act 2010, the National Policy on Occupational Safety and Health 2020 and any other law or regulation which may hereafter become operative. In addition, we adopt recognized best practices to ensure that our operations meet or exceed minimum legal requirements. Compliance is the foundation of our health and safety management system.

6.6 Continuous Improvement

Continuous improvement of our health and safety performance is achieved through regular reviews, audits, incident investigations, training, and the implementation of corrective and preventive actions. We learn from experience, adapt to changing conditions, and continuously enhance our systems, processes, and work pattern.

7.1 Mandatory Safety Requirements

All personnel are mandated to comply with the following requirements at all times:

• All personnel must strictly adhere to established health and safety policies, procedures, method statements, and supervisory instructions. No task is undertaken without a clear understanding of the applicable safety requirements. Where procedures are unclear, guidance is sought before proceeding.
• Personnel must wear and properly use all required Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) relevant to their tasks and work environment, including but not limited to helmets, safety boots, gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. PPE must not be altered, misused, or removed while exposed to hazards.
• All unsafe conditions, unsafe acts, incidents, injuries, and near misses must be reported promptly to a supervisor or designated safety officer. Early reporting is essential to prevent recurrence and to enable timely corrective action.
• Personnel are required to attend all mandatory safety inductions, training, briefings, and toolbox talks. Active participation is expected, and lessons learned must be applied in daily work activities.
• All work areas must be kept orderly and free from unnecessary hazards. Materials, tools, and equipment must be properly stored, and waste must be disposed of appropriately to prevent slips, trips, falls, and other avoidable risks.
• Every individual has the authority and obligation to stop work where there is a reasonable belief that conditions are unsafe or pose a risk to health and safety. Work will not resume until the hazard has been assessed and appropriate control measures have been implemented.

7.2 Prohibited Conduct

• The use, possession, or consumption of alcohol, illegal, drugs, or any substance that may impair judgment, coordination, or performance while on duty, on Company premises or on project sites is strictly prohibited.
• Personnel must not remove, alter, disable, or misuse safety devices, protective systems, warning signs, or equipment provided for health and safety purposes.
• No personnel will ignore, bypass, or deliberately fail to comply with established health and safety procedures, method statements, or supervisory instructions. Unauthorized deviations from approved work methods are strictly prohibited.
• No machinery, tools or equipment will be operated by any person unless they are properly trained, competent, and authorized to do so.
• Deliberate failure to report unsafe conditions, incidents, or near misses, or the concealment of such information, is strictly prohibited.
• Interference with emergency procedures such as obstructing emergency exits, ignoring alarms, or failing to comply with emergency instructions is prohibited as this may endanger lives.
