The company regards the successful management of safety and health as equal to all its

consider it as important as quality installation, maintenance, and servicing.

The co-operation of all workers, subcontractors and other service providers is vital for the

Consistent with SK Consortium’s commitment to provide the safest, most optimal

environment for the highest safety of employees possible, the company has set forth a

policy regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs on all properties and in all facilities

owned or operated by SK Consortium.

SK Consortium upholds and enforces local and state laws on alcohol and drug policies of

all governing bodies and our main proponents. SK Consortium encourages a work

environment where healthy life style choices are made and where the use of alcohol or

other drugs will not be permitted.

We recognize the right of adults of legal drinking age to choose to use or abstain from

alcoholic beverages. However, abusive consumption of alcohol is discouraged because it

can pose a threat to property and the health and safety of others. On this basis,

The Acceptable Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of SK Consortium is 0. 00%

SK Consortium is committed to recruit, maintain and continuously develop a

workforce that is free from any alcohol and drug abuse.

SK Consortium reserves the right to subject any employee to a random breathalyzer

or drug test based upon reasonable suspicion. Reasonable suspicion may include

but not be limited to involvement in an accident or damage to property, substantial

drop in work output/performance. Failure to take a requested test will be construed

or defined as serious misconduct which will be subject to disciplinary action.


DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY

SK Consortium will educate employees regarding the harm caused by the use of

illegal/ illicit and performance-enhancing drugs or alcohol.

Employee’s should report to the HR department any drug prescribed by a licensed

physician which may affect employee’s output unless otherwise HR, HSE and the

relevant He ad o f Depa r t m en t will then review the suitability of the employee’s

duties to eliminate the risk of injury.

Any individual found culpable of the usage of any illicit drug on the consortium’s

facility which is not prescribed by a licensed physician will be dealt with per the

consortiums by-laws which may include summary dismissal/termination of contract.

The policy shall be reviewed as appropriate.

It is the policy of SK Consortium that all employees are responsible for ensuring that the

workplace is free from sexual harassment. Because of SK Consortium’s strong

disapproval of offensive or in appropriate sexual behaviour at work, all employees must

avoid any action or conduct which could be viewed as sexual harassment.

Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, and

other verbal or physical conduct of a sexually harassing nature, when: (a) submission to the

harassment is made either explicitly or implicitly term or condition of employment;

(b)submission to or rejection of the harassment is used as the basis for employment

decisions affecting the individual; or (c)the harassment has the purpose or effect of

unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating,

hostile, or offensive working environment.

Any employee who has a complaint of sexual harassment at work by anyone, including

supervisors, co-workers or visitors, should first clearly inform the harasser that his/her

behaviour is offensive or unwelcome and request that the behaviour stop. If the behaviour

continues, the employee must immediately bring the matter to the attention of his/her

supervisor. If the immediate supervisor is involved in the harassing activity, the violation

should be reported to that supervisor’s immediate supervisor, the department personnel

officer, or the employee relations coordinator, who can be reached at +233287295675.

If a supervisor or personnel officer knows of an incident of sexual harassment, they shall

take appropriate remedial action immediately. If the alleged harassment involves any

types of threats of physical harm to the victim, the alleged harasser may be suspended


SEXUAL HARRASMENT POLICY

with pay. During such suspension, an investigation will be conducted by SK Consortium.

If the investigation supports charges of sexual harassment, disciplinary action against the

alleged harasser will take place and may include termination. If the investigation reveals

that the charges were brought falsely and with malicious intent, the charging party may

be subject to disciplinary action, including termination.

If an employee is dissatisfied with management’s response to his/her complaint, he/she

may contact Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) at Old

EXPERTISE

At SK Consortium, We aim to provide the deeper knowledge and understanding

required in order to work better and more safely. We are committed to delivering

excellent training and consultancy to your organization / Institutions. We will work with

our development partners and development team to develop and maintain courses,

support customers to ensure that there organization /Institutions get the best from our

services.

2.1 Our Approach and Methodology

We will execute this assignment in 6-phases.

Phase I: Initial Discussions

During this stage, we shall conclude the various assignment modalities, time frames,

participant lists, venue, equipment etc.

Phase II: Needs Assessment (for short courses)

We shall have discussions with a selection of prospective participants or a discussion

with right persons in Health, Safety, Environment, Quality and Loss Prevention

Departments to identify need areas. These diagnostic sessions would provide us with

in-depth awareness of Company/ Institutions peculiar issues relating to designing and

implementing the OHS training. This represents the first crucial step in ensuring that

the objectives of the training programme are met.

Phase III: Development of Training modules and Workshop Programme (for short

courses) SK CONSORTIUM – COMPANY PROFILE Page 13

The information from phase II, would enable us develop precise content areas and

detailed materials for the training programme. The training materials will cover

comprehensively, both concepts and practical application of the topics to be covered

with specific focus on your need areas. These would either be duplicated on CDs or

bound in the form of a manual depending on which option you prefer. Each participant

will receive either a manual or a CD or both as a training guide for use during the

workshops.

Phase IV: Delivery through Workshop Facilitation & Activity-Based Programmes

This training will not only attempt to impart knowledge but also aim at equipping

participants with the tools to appreciate, accept and better understand as well as

implement and improve the organisation’s HSE Methods in practical ways. We will

achieve this by making our workshops interactive, experiential, and contemporary and

most of all memorable. We will use a number of training methods including

brainstorming, videos, interactive sessions, real life cases as well as discussions and

lecture format within a workshop environment to enhance the learning process.

Phase V: Programme Evaluation and Training Report

In line with our business philosophy of continuous improvement and excellent service

delivery, we require trainees to provide an immediate assessment of our training

programmes at the end of the workshops by filling out a simple questionnaire. This

assessment will provide feedback on participant’s impression of the training in terms of

delivery, methods, material content and facilitators. The issues, challenges, participant

comments, suggestion as well as corporate contextual issues that emerge during the training


workshop will be presented to company HSE and Human Resource Department in the form

of report.

Phase VI Post-Training Impact Assessment

We shall return to company/Institution and carry out a random assessment of HSE

measures after the training programme. The aim of this is to ensure that participants

have made that important transition from training to knowledge skill use. We shall

provide a brief report indicating the challenges and successes we find on the ground

in the area of HSE procedures. HSE management systems will require a monitoring,

evaluation & control mechanism. We will be happy to assist.
