Preliminary Hazard Identification Plan (HIP)

Installation of new set of pumps & associated electrical / instrument jobs in Juaymah gas plant

In accordance with the Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual (4 th Ed., 1993), Chapter1, Section 1.3.2, a Preliminary Hazard Identification Plan (HIP) will be provided by the
Saudi Aramco Project Management Team (SAPMT) to all prospective bidders of a Saudi Aramco Project Contract. This HIP may not be complete. It is the responsibility of all
bidders to use this HIP as a starting point for development of the final HIP required of the successful bidder for inclusion in the Contractor Safety Plan. Add any other items to this
list that your company may consider as hazards or serious safety problems during the project. It will be your responsibility, if the successful bidder, to include the costs of safely
resolving these hazards and problem areas. Therefore, it is in you best interest to have as complete a list as possible prior to presenting your final bid.
