1. Introduction
The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) for FY 2013 – 2014 has been prepared by the K- Electric Limited (KE – the company) as part of its reporting commitments to the International Finance Corporation (IFC). This is Eighth Year post-financing report and describes the degree to which the requirements specified in the Action Plan and Annexure ‘E’, specified in section 5.03(d) of the Loan Agreement document, have been met and to describe non-compliance and what is being done to address such non-compliance.
This report is not only KE’s disclosure of its environmental, health, social and sustainability (EHSS) initiatives to the stakeholders but, also, is a performance benchmarking document. Thus, the AMR will enable the company to reflect back and improve on its various ESS initiatives undertaken to incorporate the element of sustainability in its business functions and operations.
2. Scope and Timing
The AMR encompasses all the activities associated with KE, including operations, generation, transmission and distribution, capacity enhancement projects and social and environmental initiatives from 1st July 2013 to 30th June 2014. The report has been independently verified to ensure that the reporting is factual and accurate and that a fair description of KE’s overall performance in meeting the loan agreement requirements has been provided.
The AMR 2013-14 is built upon IFC’s Performance Standards (PS). IFC’s PS have been designed and developed to assist its clients in rolling out their respective business functions and operations in a sustainable way. Together, the eight (08) PS provide guidance and direction on EHSS aspects, that the client is to meet throughout the lifecycle of a project financed by IFC. Therefore, at KE, these PS are used as a benchmark to manage company’s environmental and social risks, which may arise as a result of its operations. In this report, first, a brief snapshot of KE, as a utility company, is presented. Second, the overview of KE’s EHSS regime and activities carried out during the FY 2013 -14 is presented. This is followed by KE’s EHSS initiatives benchmarking against each of the IFC’s PS. Page | 1
3. K-Electric: Energy that moves Life
K-Electric Limited (KE), formerly known as Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), is the only remaining vertically integrated power utility in Pakistan with exclusive licensing rights for Karachi, a customer base of 2.4 million. The city of Karachi is central to Pakistan’s economy. Around 90 percent of the head offices of the banks, financial institutions and multinationals operate from Karachi. In addition, 40 percent of large scale manufacturing employment is Karachi based. Against this background and as the sole electricity provider to the city, KE is of strategic importance not only to Karachi but also to the country, Pakistan.
KE was incorporated in 1913 (pre-independence) as a public utility company. However in 2005, KE was privatized. Outlook of KE’s entire power value chain is;
Presence Across the Entire Power Value Chain Generation Transmission Distribution All power units and grid station are monitored by a centralized Load Dispatch Centre using state of the art SCADA system Own Generation
Grid Stations End User Power Purchase
Generation Capacity MW Capacity: Capacity: KE Internal 2,422 62 grid station KE Coverage area: 6,500 sq km IPPs and others 365 128 power transformers 11kV distribution capacity of 4,973 MVA NTDC (National 650 Network of 220, 132, and 66 kV circuits through 15,588 PMTs and sub stations Grid) 1,249 KM of overhead and underground 11kV: 7,900 KM cables (67% underground) Total 3,437 cables 0.4kV: 12,044 KM (90% overhead) Figure 1: K-Electric Presence across the Entire Power Value Chain
KE has shown a noticeable improvement in its business operations and services since the takeover by the current management back in April/May 2009. Since then, KE’s generation capacity has increased by 1,000 Megawatts (MW). Through improved system, KE has witnessed 22 percent efficiency gain in FY 2013 – 14 since 2009.

Moreover, KE increased the reliability of its transmission network, with 189km of old Extra High Tension (EHT) line rehabilitated and an additional 62km of EHT lines added. Similarly, the company turned around its ‘Transmission and Distribution (T&D)’ system and managed to reduce its T&D losses by ten percent since FY 2009. Currently T&D losses stand at 25.30 percent as compared to 35.9 percent in FY 2009. T&D Losses (%) – Rolling Average

various other awards in the field of occupational health and safety, fire safety and environment (for details refer to attached Annex – A).
New Identity: The FY 2013-14, amongst other things was important as K-Electric completed its 100 years of continued existence. Therefore, while entering the new century, a renewed pledge to realign the company’s identity with the company’s vision, a new corporate identity was established. On January 20, 2014, KESC evolved into KE.
Figure 2: KE’s New Brand Identity The three feathers in KE’s new identity have been inspired by Pakistan’s national bird ‘Partridge’. The yellow feather represents ‘energy’, blue ‘community’ and the green is for the ‘environment’. The new corporate identity underpins the company’s resolve to carry out its operations in a sustainable way to meet the energy demands of current and future generations.
4. KE’s Environmental, Health, Social and Sustainability (EHSS) Initiatives
This section presents the highlights of KE’s EHSS initiatives during the FY 2013 -14.
4.1. Compliance Evaluation
KE’s infrastructure and operations were in compliance with the IFC Performance Standards (PS) during the reporting period. As mentioned above, IFC PS assists the clients to adopt a more socially and environmentally inclusive business model. Based on this, the summary of KE’s compliance status vis-a-vis IFC Performance Standards is given below in Table - 1;

SNo IFC Performance Standards KE’s status Remarks PS1: Social and Environmental 1 Compliant - Assessment and Management Systems 2 PS2: Labour and Working Conditions Compliant - PS3: Pollution Prevention and Partially Continuous Improvement 3 Abatement Compliant Process* PS4: Community Health, Safety and Partially Continuous Improvement 4 Security Compliant Process* PS5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary 5 Compliant - Resettlement PS6: Biodiversity Conservation and 6 Sustainable Natural Resource Compliant - Management 7 PS7: Indigenous Peoples Compliant - 8 PS8: Cultural Heritage Compliant - Table 1: KE’s compliance status against IFC Performance Standards
* Although KE is in compliance with the PS # 3 and 4, however since these are continuous improvement processes therefore they have been graded as ‘Partially Compliant’.
Additionally, KE has complied with the major actions and interventions required under IFC’s Action Plan (Revised: October 2009). Remaining actions have been revised through a mutually agreed Action Plan October 23, 2009 and are ongoing and at various stages of compliances. The up-dated status on IFC’s Social and Environmental Management Plan for April – June 2014 is attached as Annex – B.
Moreover, KE is conducting all of its business operations as per National and Provincial regulations to which it subscribes. As a result of company’s strong emphasis on adopting and following best available health, safety and environment (HSE) regime across the board, there were no fines and/or penalties levied against the company during the reporting period (FY 2013 – 14). Summary of company’s compliance status with applicable and relevant National and Provincial regulations is given below in Table - 2;

4.2. Environmental Management and Assessment
KE, in accordance with its HSEQ Policy (Annex – C), has carried out its business functions and operations as per applicable National/Provincial environmental laws and regulations to which it subscribes. In this regard, KE follows Pakistan Environmental Protection Act of 1997, to benchmark and report its environmental performance and compliance. However, it is important, to highlight the enactment of Sindh Environmental Protection Act 2014 (SEPA’14) by the Provincial Assembly (Parliament) of Sindh in March 2014. Against the backdrop of 18th Constitutional Amendment, the subject of ‘environment’ stands devolved. Therefore, Government of Sindh (GoS) approved SEPA’14. However GoS has yet to notify Sindh Environmental Quality Standards (SEQS).
4.2.1. Environmental Studies – IEE/EIA
KE rolled out four new projects, during the reporting period. For three projects, KE submitted individual Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) reports to the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) (Executive Summaries attached as Annex –D). For the fourth project, based on its scope, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report was submitted (Executive Summary attached as Annex – E). For this EIA study, as per PEPA’97/SEPA’14 policy on stakeholder participation and public disclosure, project’s public hearing was arranged on August 20, 2013 at Karachi. In this regard, the EIA’s public
Page | 6
hearing notices were published in local language as well as English newspapers (Notices attached as Annex – F).
SEPA approved all four projects and accorded ‘Non-Objection Certificate (NoC)’ to the projects (NoCs of all the four projects attached as Annex – G).

4.2.2. Emission and Effluent Monitoring
KE, on monthly basis, has been monitoring air emissions and effluent discharges from its five generation plants in compliance of National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) of PEPA’97, during FY 2013 -14. This activity was carried out, by an approved third party environmental laboratory/Consultant. Quarterly reports were shared with SEPA as per reporting/compliance commitments. Based on the monitoring results, KE’s (five) generation plants were in compliance with the NEQS during the reporting period. No fines and/or penalties were served to the company by SEPA on the basis of nonconformity with the environmental standards during the FY 2013 - 14.
Monitoring results of all the five generation plants for 2nd Quarter of 2014 are attached as Annex – H (monitoring reports for previous quarter have already been shared).
4.2.3. EMS: ISO 14001 and OHSAS: 18001 Certifications and Hazardous Waste Management
KE while improving upon its environmental management systems was successful in acquiring EMS ISO 14001:2004 certifications for two of its generation plants in the FY 2013 – 14 (Certificates attached as Annex – I). Therefore, now, all of KE’s generation plants are ISO 14001 certified, which resonate company’s resolve to pursue its business operations in an environmentally friendly manner.
Page | 7
In addition, during the reporting period, one of KE’s generation plant (Korangi Town Gas Turbine Power Station) got its OHSAS 18001:2007 certification. Another generation plant (Korangi Combine Cycle Power Plant) renewed its OHSAS 18001 certification. Thus, all of KE’s generation plants are OHSAS 18001 certified by the end of FY 2013 – 14.
The overview of KE’s ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications is presented below;

Moreover, KE as per the findings of an independently carried out Environmental, Health and Safety audit (2010) of its Transmission and Distribution assets has rolled out a ‘Hazardous Waste Management’ programme. Main features of this programme were; to identify the presence of hazardous chemicals and materials in KE’s operations, and propose corrective actions for the same. In this regard, use of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and asbestos were found to be of primary concern. Based on these recommendations, the company has adopted a phase wise approach to address the environmental, health and safety challenges posed by PCBs and the asbestos.
Addressing PCBs issue, a representative samples of oil from 132/11 KV step-down transformers, capacitor banks and surrounding soil from eleven Grid Stations were collected for laboratory analysis to find out the presence of PCBs. As per the laboratory analysis report, only, one oil sample out of twenty samples contained PCBs traces (Summary Report attached as Annex – J). The PCB contaminated equipment was isolated
Page | 8
and disposed off as per KE’s waste management procedures (attached as Annex – K). Also, to eliminate the risk of PCB contamination in future, KE has been using mineral oil – which is PCBs free oil. Furthermore, in June 2014, KE entered into a partnership with the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) and Picture 2: PCB Sampling for Laboratory Analysis Global Environment Facility (GEF) for a project which aims to reduce and eliminate Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Pakistan. This, international, collaboration is a testimony of KE’s endeavours vis-a-vis environmental protection.
For asbestos management, the company issued a corporate level Asbestos Management Procedure on April 1, 2014 (Procedure attached as Annex- L). This provides a set of guidelines for preparing Site Asbestos Management Plan (SAMP) and to standardise asbestos management practices across the company. Further, in order to ensure coordinated and consistent approach in asbestos management, a company-wide training was organized for more than 200 employees during the reporting period.
Similarly, KE in line with its Climate Change policy, developed and issued a corporate level management procedure for Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) – 23,900 times more potent
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) in comparison to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) on June 25, 2014 (attached as Annex - M). KE uses SF6 at high voltage interface between the generation and transmission systems for insulation, arc quenching and current interruption in gas- insulated switchgear and circuit breakers. By developing these management procedures, it is envisaged to establish and maintain a system for minimising the risks of releasing SF6 gas into the environment as a result of KE’s operations. Implementation on procedure has commenced and baseline records / SF6 inventories were under development by the relevant departments.

4.2.4. Earth Day Celebrations at KE
KE, building upon its environmental initiatives, celebrated the ‘Earth Day’ in April 2014. Around 1000 trees were planted across KE’s various offices and at different tertiary level education institutions in Karachi. An awareness raising session to protect environment and natural resources was also held at BQPP – II. In addition to above mentioned environment management initiatives, following trainings were held across KE during the reporting period to promote environmental consciousness amongst the employees (Details attached as Annex – N).
1. Awareness Session on Environmental Incidents and Impacts 2. Awareness Session on EHS Audit Compliance for Distribution 3. Waste Management 4. Implementation of Environmental Management Plan 5. Awareness Session on EIA and IEE
4.2.5. Environmental Award
KE’s vision towards Environment and Sustainability, and its pursuit towards the achievement of sustainable development were recognized at the national level, when for the fifth consecutive year, KE was awarded the “10th Annual Environment Excellence Award 2013”. This award was presented by the National Forum for Environment and Health (NFEH), affiliated with the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) and jointly supported by the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency. The award ceremony was held on July 5, 2013 Picture 3: Environmental Excellence Award 2013 at Karachi and a total of 170 companies from the country participated.
4.3. Health and Safety
KE, under the present management since 2009, has initiated the implementation of a comprehensive Health and Safety (H&S) regime across the company. KE’s Corporate Page | 10
Health, Safety, Environment and Quality department (Corp. HSEQ) since its inception has been instrumental in deploying multipronged strategies to address H&S challenges in an organisation, where previously, the H&S culture was nonexistent. The Corp. HSEQ department has a team of 43 dedicated professionals to assist, guide and educate other departments/business units on H&S aspects. In addition, the Corp. HSEQ team has been facilitated by departmental safety coordinators.
4.3.1. Health – ‘We Care’ Programme
KE gives priority to matters related to its employees’ health and general well-being. Against this backdrop, KE initiated ‘We Care’ Programme to provide, its employees, preventive vaccination and medication against the leading causes of diseases in Pakistan. This programme, also, compliments Government of Pakistan’s immunisation drive.
KE, under its health programme, organised a medical camp in collaboration with Pfizer Limited (Pharmaceutical Company) in November 2013. 100 of company’s employees went through different medical tests during that session. Moreover, KE in April 2014 entered into an agreement with UNICEF to raise awareness of vaccines for preventable diseases. This, particular, initiative aims to disseminate a series of motivational awareness messages, about diseases such as Polio on the monthly electricity bills reaching to 2.3 million households across Karachi and some areas of Sindh and Baluchistan.
In addition, a total of 1066 vaccinations of staff and families were carried out in FY 2013 -14. Also, 349 hygiene inspections were carried out during the reporting year. This was coupled by 92 training sessions on ‘First Aid and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)’ covering 3090
employees. These interventions Picture 4: Karachi (April 2014): Agreement Signing Ceremony for Polio Awareness Campaign resulted in 73% reduction in Hepatitis B registered cases.

4.3.2. Safety Programme – Inspections, Trainings and Activities
KE’s safety philosophy is ‘Nobody Gets Hurt’. Primary focus, of this, is to provide safe working conditions to the employees and secure power network to the consumers. To ensure this, KE has developed an overreaching Safety Management System. Main features of SMS are;
- Safety Trainings for the employees, - Using Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs), - Promoting the ownership of safety responsibilities and accountabilities at all management levels through Annual Performance Appraisals, safety awards/rewards and reprimand system, - Lessons learnt through formal investigations of accidents, - Regular safety audits, and - Risk management etc.
To benchmark the Safety Management Safety Trainings System, special emphasis was laid on Employees Trained Training Hours 27,732 safety trainings and awareness 22,767 programmes during the reporting 16,801 11,415 period. As a result of this around 16,801 employees went through
different safety trainings for 27,732 2012-13 2013-14 training hours on a whole spectrum of Graph 3: Safety Trainings FY 2012-13 vs FY 2013-14 topics related to H&S. As compared to last year, FY 2013 – 14 witnessed an increase in safety training regime.
In this regard, to align company’s safety drive with internationally accepted best practices, KE celebrated ‘World Safety Day’ on April 28, 2014. To mark and highlight the significance of safety practices in work space, weeklong activities across the company were carried out. This includes, awareness raising sessions on safety topics, safety parades and distribution of Pamphlets containing safety messages against electrical risks and protection against field hazards.
Page | 12
Moreover, the Corp. HSEQ team along with its safety coordinators carried around 1,029 safety inspections in FY 2013 - 14 of KE’s installations, establishments and assets across the city of Karachi. The aim of these safety surveys and inspections was to map and check nonconformity of different departments against company’s HSEQ policy and applicable national and/or international regulations/standards. Timely actions were taken to address and rectify the points/observations raised through these inspection reports (A Safety Inspection Report is attached as Annex – O).
Reinforcing safety culture, KE’s business units and departments were apprised on the usefulness of incorporating safety initiatives like near miss reporting, tool box talks, evacuation drills, job specific trainings, internal audits and safety walks into their daily official operations and functions. As a result, to illustrate, T&D department carried
323,539 tool box talks and 43,926 safety walks during the reporting period.
As a result of these actions, KE’s 90 Megawatts (MW) Korangi Town Gas Turbine Power Station acquired its OHSAS 18001:2007 certification on November 27, 2013. Another Power Plant (220 MW Korangi Combine Cycle Power Plant) got its renewal certificate of OHSAS 18001 on July 26, 2013 (Refer Table – 4). Thus by the end of FY 2013 – 14, all of the five generation plants were OHSAS 18001 certificated which underpins company’s thorough H&S regime.
The steps taken to improve safe working conditions at KE resulted in the reduction of employee accidents by 32 percent while public accidents reduced by 67 percent as compared to the previous year. Although, KE has been able to demonstrate improvement on its health and safety portfolio, nevertheless the company appreciates the room for further improvement. Therefore, KE has rolled out different initiatives to improve its safety performance.
4.3.3. Safety Improvement Initiatives
Learning from incidents and accidents by carrying root cause analysis and investigations is important for improving operations and business procedures. Therefore, KE has rolled out various safety improvement initiatives to address the gaps and refine company’s existing safety procedures.

‘Safe Card’ - Hazard Reporting: KE is the first and only power utility in Pakistan to offer a 24/7 on-line reporting medium to its customers and general public to raise safety and electric hazards alarms/reports (http://www.safecard.kesc.com.pk/bill/safecard.aspx). During FY 2013 – 14, KE received 546 ‘Safe Card’ alarms/reports on safety hazards like broken conductors, tilted poles, exposed cables, tree branches touching conductors etc. The analysis of the observed trend is given in Graph: 4. Graph 4: Safe Card trend analysis 59 percent observations were addressed and closed within three hours of their reporting. 82 percent reduction in public accidents was noticed during FY 2013-14 compared to the FY 2010 – 11: the launch year of ‘Safe Card’ reporting system. This reflects ‘Safe Card’ effectiveness to improve company’s systems’ safety. This initiative, also, reflects on KE’s openness to take a step further in improving its safety performance by engaging with the stakeholders (consumers and general public).

PMT & Pole Grounding: As a part of public safety enhancement, during FY 2013 -14, a total of 1,145 Pole Mounted Transformers (PMTs), 213 Substation and 26 Ring Main Units were grounded. The campaign was, specially, targeted to congested low income areas prone to accidents. This initiative has also contributed in improving company’s safety performance.
Promoting the use of PPEs: Considering the safety of employees, KE is continuously increasing its focus on the use of PPEs. Company Employees and OSP (third Party employees), as per policy, need to wear proper PPE before executing their job on site. In this regard, the company ensured to provide standardized personal protective equipment to its employees by spending Rs. 37 million on PPEs in FY 2013-14. Violators go through strict disciplinary action.
4.3.4. Recognition of KE’s Occupational Health and Safety Regime – Awards
For the third year running, KE in December 2013 was awarded the National Fire and Safety Award for having an effective Fire and Safety Management System. The award was an acknowledgement of the progress made by KE in promoting and implementing “Fire Safety” initiatives throughout the organisation. The award was jointly sponsored by the National Forum for Environment and Health (NFEH) which is supported by the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) and Fire Protection Association of Pakistan (FPAP), a member of the Confederation of Fire Protection Associations International (CFPA-I) and CFPA-Asia.
Moreover, the Employers Federation of Pakistan (EFP) in collaboration with International Labour Organisation (ILO) awarded KE the ‘Third Prize’ in the category of Oil, Gas and Energy, at its Ninth Occupational Health, Safety and Environment Award ceremony held in April 2014. This prestigious award has been won for the first time by KE. This award is a recognition of the company’s best safety practices for its employees’ and its management’s commitment for continual improvement in the field of Occupational Health, Safety & Environment (OHS&E).

4.4. Corporate Social Responsibility
The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is based on the notion that society and businesses are mutually dependent. KE appreciates this and has been playing its part to give back to the society through incorporation of ethical, social and environmental values in its systems and operations. Main focus of KE’s CSR activities during FY 2013 – 14, was to strengthen projects/institutions that were delivering social and health care services to the vulnerable people (especially women and children) / low income groups in the city of Karachi. Under its CSR programme, the company during the reporting period, signed five Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with the following social and health care institutions;
a) The Kidney Centre, Karachi: The Kidney Centre provides renal care, mainly, to the poor patients for free or minimal charges. Since the center is providing necessary medical care to the vulnerable segments of the society, KE in September 2013 signed an MoU with the
Kidney Center to share the costs of its electricity expenses. b) Behbud Association – Karachi: KE, in December 2013, signed another MoU under its CSR programme with ‘Behbud Association’ to provide free of cost electricity to the charitable organization providing multi-faceted services to the needy and underprivileged sections of society particularly women and children since 1970.

Secondary reasons include preference to the use of gas and minimizing the use of furnace oil. Oil has approx 28 percent greater CO2 emission factor. During FY 2012-13, KE faced gas supply decline, due to which a slight increase in the use of furnace oil was observed. However owing to the fact that highly efficient, 560 MW BQCCP was commissioned, efficient use of available gas allowed KE not only to maintain, but improve environmental performance of its generation plants. Over the past four years, use of furnace oil has reduced by 28 percent (FY 2010-11 vs FY 2013-14) whereas preference has been given to natural gas whose consumption went up by 15 percent (FY 2010-11 vs FY 2013-14).

Heritage Foundation of Pakistan to work on different initiatives that aims to protect city’s architectural heritage and cultural identity.
6. Challenges and the Way Forward
KE has come a long way with respect to improving its EHSS performance. The company is meeting with the applicable EHSS regulatory parameters and no fines were incurred by KE during the reporting period. In addition, the trend of employee and public fatalities is also decreasing. That said there remain some key challenges.
a) Liquidity Crunch-Circular Debt: The total outstanding receivables of KE have mounted to over 78 billion rupees in receivables from Government and related sovereign entities (i.e. Strategic Customers, federal and provincial bodies).This has resulted in a serious liquidity crisis at KE, inhibiting company’s potential to undertake business improvement and enhancement schemes. On its part, KE remains in continuous negotiations to get at least some amount released on time to time basis. b) Gas Supply Issues: KE has repeatedly demanded from the Government of Pakistan the regular supply of gas to provide affordable electricity to its consumers. The company appreciates that the electricity produced from expensive fuel (Furnace Oil is four times higher than gas) results in electricity theft and non-payment of the electricity bills by the people. After persistent efforts, now an MoU have been signed with the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited to ensure a minimum level of uninterrupted gas supply. c) Poor Law and Order Situation: Although city’s security situation improved during the year, but still areas like Orangi Town, Korangi, Baldia, Gadap, Landhi, Lyari, SITE, Malir, Shah Faisal, Korangi etc remained as hot spots causing long delays in rectification of faults, installation of new connections & system improvement work. This can lead to any untoward accident. Therefore, KE is engaging the people from such areas/communities to win their respect and confidence to work in their areas for systems’ improvement. d) Theft and Illegal Connections: Theft of extra high tension overhead conductors’ wires and cable leads from substations, especially in rural and coastal areas is not only illegal
Page | 39
but also a life hazard. In addition, people in low income areas restore to take illegal connections. These practices make them vulnerable and expose them to electrical hazards. Cognizant of this, KE has initiated a public awareness campaign to educate masses about the dangers involved in stealing company’s assets. e) Employees’ Mindset: KE has a comprehensive reward and reprimand policy vis-a-vis the use of PPEs and adhering to the laid down safety procedures. Nevertheless, keeping in view the educational background of company’s Non Management Staff (NMS) and the overall non-existent safety culture prevailing in the society, casualness on part of NMS at times has been observed. To address this, company is ensuring regular refresher trainings for NMS and increasing the frequency of spot checks. In addition, considering the safety of employees, KE is continuously increasing the budget to provide world-class PPEs/SPEs to its employees. KE spend Pak Rs. 37 million on PPEs in FY 2013-14. This PPE budget has been increased to Pak Rs. 58.4 million for FY 2014-15, showing an increment of 58 percent.

Initial Environmental Examination of
Extension of 220 MW Korangi Combine Cycle Power Plant (KCCPP)
Executive Summary
K-Electric (formerly known as Karachi Electric Supply Company) was incorporated on 13th September 1913 under the Indian Companies Act, 1882 as amended to date vide the Companies Ordinance 1984. The Company is listed on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad Stock Exchanges. The Government of Pakistan took control of the Company by acquiring majority shareholding in 1952. The Ministry of Water and Power had looked after the affairs of The Company at federal level since 1952 until its privatization in 2005.
The new management’s objective is to make the Company a Customer centric entity. In this regard the new privatized management is in the process of updating and modernizing the infrastructure and operations of the Company. To sort out the current power crisis, the KE Management has planned a comprehensive program for the enhancement of its generating capacity, which is being implemented by adding clean and more energy efficient combined cycle units at existing thermal power stations on a fast track basis and allow the reputed global companies to install and connect their power generation with KE system on rental basis.
This proposed project is for the installation of extension of the combine cycle power plant-II at KTPS.
Existing Project capacity is 220MW at the Korangi Thermal Power Station. After Completion of project extension plant capacity will be 248 MW.
The proposed project’s sole purpose is to utilize the heat generated from the plant and produce more electricity from the heat which is being lost at the present plant. It will be a cost effective technique to produce electricity from potential energy means. The system would work in such a way, that the initial plant will generate electricity from its engines and release excessive heat, this heat will be channeled into a closed cycle system where this heat will represent potential energy and it will be converted into electrical energy, thereby the name Combined Cycle Power Plant.
In compliance with the government’s regulatory requirements, and following its own Corporate Policy and Climate Change Policy, KE has engaged the services of Global Environmental Management Services (GEMS) Pakistan to conduct an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) of the proposed project.
The whole plant is located along the coast of Arabian Sea. A thorough baseline survey had been conducted which included the biological, physical and socio-economic surveys. However, the proposed project lies within the vicinity of an already existing power plant and it has been carefully examined that it will not cause any major impact on the environment. A human settlement, namely Ibrahim Hydri goth, is located adjacent to the area which represents fishermen and it is observed that the community might be influenced by KE activities especially by socio-economic perspective. There are some minor impacts which will be temporary during the construction phase and can be easily mitigated.
The operational phase is considered to have almost no environmental impact functionality. However, safe working practices are highlighted at all times within the proposed project area. KE itself represents strong Environmental, Health and Safety policies and regulations within its plants and moreover they work for improvement as suggested by the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
After assessing the proposed project activities and investigating the project area, the environmental consultants, Global Environmental Management Services (Pvt.) Limited (GEMS) have concluded that:
“If the activities are undertaken as proposed and described in this report, and the recommended mitigation and environmental management measures are adopted, the project will not result in any long‐term or significant impacts on the local community or the environment. In fact once the project is operational it will have a positive social impact as it will help in reducing the gap in electricity demand and supply which has become a major social problem in the current scenario”. Initial Environmental Examination of
Site Gas Turbine Station Upgradation Project
Executive Summary
Electricity plays a pivotal role in fulfilling the needs of everyday life. There has been an enormous increase in the demand of energy in recent years as a result of industrial development and population growth, in comparison to enhancement in energy production. Supply of energy is, therefore, far less than the actual demand, resultantly crisis has emerged. The acute power shortage in Karachi is because of a considerable gap between demand and supply of electricity in the city. Keeping in view the power crisis in Karachi, K- Electric (formerly known as Karachi Electric Supply Company) has started working to add power generation capacity to the existing KE’s generation infrastructure and minimizing the losses by revamping of transmission lines and grids.
KE intends to convert SITE Gas Turbine Power Station “SGTPS” from open cycle to combined cycle power plant in order to increase the plant capacity as well as to make power generation more environmental friendly manner. Power plant upgradation component involves; installation of 32 Heat Recovery Steam Generators on all 32 Gas powered Generator Sets and installation of one Steam Turbine Generator with associated components. On completion, the project shall be able to add 10 MW to the national grid by utilizing the waste heat of flue gasses, in addition to existing 88 MW capacities. Revamping of grid component involves conversion of existing Air Insulated Switchgear system to Gas Insulated Switchgear system. After the completion of power plant component, the power station shall be classified as a combined cycle power plant.
In order to get environmental approval, KE has planned to conduct Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) study for the proposed project prior to start of construction activities. The study has taken into consideration all the relevant national legislations, regulations and guidelines related to the power generation plants. The study was followed by site visits, details of construction activities and operations of sites. Environmental and socio-economic baseline has been taken from different journals, books and other literature available related to the project site.
Impact of the proposed project has been assessed for construction and operations which will be controlled through mitigation measures. Mitigation measures are proposed mitigation through environmental management and clean practices. The exposure of noise generated during operations will be controlled through providing PPEs to the workers. All vehicles, generators and other equipment used during the construction will be properly tuned and maintained in good working condition in order to minimize emission of pollutants.
Environmental management plan (EMP) has been proposed in order to ensure that the measures are practically implemented during the construction and operation of the project. Responsibilities of the project proponent and the contractor has been clearly defined and allocated to ensure effectiveness of the plan. EMP will serve as a tool for effective communication of environmental issues between the proponent and the contractor during the construction and operations phase of the project. Project proponent will undertake overall responsibility for compliance with EMP and will carry out verification checks to ensure that the contractors are effectively implementing mitigation measures.
KE and their subsequent contractors are required to follow the EMP strictly. It is also recommended that where necessary, KE’s management shall amend this EMP as per gaps arise. Initial Environmental Examination of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report discusses the Environmental Impact Assessment of Proposed sites. Baldia to Valika Transmission line and existing Jacob line grid line diversion project.
The proposed project of 132kV Single Circuit Power transmission (overhead & underground) network of KESC of about 9.5km will be constructed from Baldia to Valika.
The proposed project is the diversion of existing 132kV Single Core Oil Filled Underground Cable from Garden East Grid to the Jacob line grid station.
Aim of the project is to manage overloading on the existing transmission lines/ Network and to improve electric supply quality of the adjoining areas as well as to cater the future load growth
PROPONENT INTRODUCTION
KESC is one of the city's largest employers: around 11,600 people currently working for the company. It is also one of the oldest companies in Karachi and was established in the city even before the creation of Pakistan in 1947. Incorporated on September 13, 1913, under the Indian Companies Act of 1882, the company was nationalized in 1952 but was re-privatized on November 29, 2005. KESC came under a new management in September, 2008; a significant number of professional managers with experience in running utility and other large companies have joined and will be running it until the company is turned into a best practice utility. KESC is listed on all three of Pakistan's stock exchanges: the Karachi Stock Exchange, Lahore Stock Exchange and Islamabad Stock Exchange.
At present, KESC is the only vertically-integrated power utility in Pakistan and manages the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. KESC covers a vast area of 6,000 square kilometers and supplies electricity to all the industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential areas that fall under its network.
KESC believes that it have a responsibility to offset carbon emissions and to conserve national energy resources. KESC have recently launched the AZM tree plantation drive and the Graffiti-free Karachi project.
NEED OF THE PROJECT
Site A
The project is prepared to reduce overloading of the existing transmission line/Network and to improve electric supply quality of the adjoining areas as well as to cater the future load growth in the area namely Ittihad town, Naval colony, Saeedabad, Manghopir, Qasba Colony and Orangi town.
Site B
The project is prepared to improve the reliability of Garden Grid Station and further to utilize the vacant Gizri Bay for future extension of transformer at Jacob line Grid Station to cater the load growth.
PROJECT AREA
Site A (power Transmission line) found in Badia town adjacent Gulshan e Ghazi Block C to Valika grid station adjacent Allah Bachayo Goth Manghopir.
Site B (Line Diversion) found in Jacobline of Jamshed Town adjacent CDGK parking plaza at New M.A. Jinnah road.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The EIA study consists of two Sites which are describe below into two sections in same chapter.
Section A
The proposed project of 132kV Single Circuit Power transmission (overhead & underground) network of KESC of about 9.5km will be constructed from Baldia to Valika grid station. Approximate Underground length is 5.9km and Overhead portion is 3.4km. The Detail of this project is given the following sections. Transmission line will be installed (underground and overhead) parallel towards existing transmission line from Baldia Grid Station to Valika Grid Station. Transmission line routes can be seen in Exhibit: 2.1
Section B
The proposed Lines diversion project is the diversion of existing 132kV Single Core Oil Filled Underground Cable from Garden East Grid to the Jacob Line Grid Station with necessary jointing / terminations for connection to the existing 132kV Underground Circuit after isolation from its 132kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) Bay with Copper Tubular Bus-Bars in open air.
UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION
Electric power will be transmitted through Baldia grid station by underground power cables because project site is unplanned, residential setup with less right-of- way to install overhead transmission. Underground Transmission line of 132kV single core oil filled cable of 5.9km (5900m) will cover Gulshan-e-Ghazi Road (Baldia Town) to Orangi Town Area. All construction, commissioning and installation of cables will be done according to KESC Technical Procedure (TP) 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 & 14.
An overhead power line is an electric power transmission line suspended by towers or utility poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by air, overhead power lines are generally the lowest- cost method of transmission for large quantities of electric energy. Towers for support of the lines are made of steel (either lattice structures or tubular poles). The bare wire conductors on the line are generally made of aluminum (either plain or reinforced with steel, or sometimes composite materials), though some copper wires are used in medium-voltage distribution and low-voltage connections to customer premises.
An overhead transmission power line about 3.4km will be installed and jointed from the end point of Underground Cable to Valika Grid Station. It will be installed along with old Overhead Transmission line. Overhead transmission work will be done according to KESC Technical Procedure (TP) TP 9.9 to 9.11.9.
LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT
The EIA of the proposed KESC Project activity will be subjected to the pertinent legislative and regulatory requirements of the Government of Pakistan including State laws. Legislation presents a synopsis of environmental policies, legislation and other guidelines that have relevance to the proposed project.
The proposed project falls under the project category of SCHEDULE II “Transmission lines (11KV and above) and Grid Stations1” as per the guidelines issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act 1997 (PEPA 1997). According to these guidelines, projects under this category require an EIA to be conducted.
The Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997 (PEPA 1997) is the basic legislative tool empowering the government to frame regulations for the protection of the environment. The PEPA 1997 is broadly applicable to air, water, soil, marine and noise pollution. Penalties have been prescribed for those contravening the provisions of the Act. Under the provisions of the Act, federal and provincial EPAs have been formed which ensure enforcement of the Act in their respective areas of power.
The two primary deliberations of the Act are the conduct of projects only after approval of environmental assessments from the relevant EPA and adherence with National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS).
Under section 12 of PEPA, no project involving construction activities or any change in the physical environment can be taken unless an IEE or EIA as required is conducted and a report submitted to the federal or provincial EPA.
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
The appraised land cover of Karachi city indicated that the major share by area is comprised of mountains / barren land and seawater (79.9%); urban land use (15%) and vegetation canopy (4.9%). However, urban land cover is growing day by day.
The district of Karachi South lies between the low land of Lyari river and Malir River. Karachi may be broadly divided into two parts; the hilly areas in the north and west and an undulating plain and coastal area in the south-east. The hills in Karachi are the off-shoots of the Kirthar Range. The highest point of these hills in Karachi is about 528m in the extreme north. All these hills are devoid of vegetation and have wide intervening plains, dry river beds and water channels. Karachi has a long coastline in the south. The famous sea beaches include Hawks Bay, Paradise Point, Sands Pit, and Clifton. China Creek and Korangi Creek provide excellent calm water channels for rowing and other water activities. Away from the shoreline are small islands including Shamsh Pir, Baba Bhit, Bunker, Salehabad and Manora.
The Manghopir zone forms the highest terrain of the area. The highest peak is 233 above mean sea level and located at north of paradise point in jhill. The range is cut by numerous faults with horizontal displacement. These displacements have provided natural asses and have made accessibility easy across the rage at sona, lal bakhar, gloamani, etc. the dips of the bed are gentle and climb is not difficult except due to growth of thorny bushes and cactus. These hills aligned northeast- southwest from mangho pir to cape monze from water shed of the study area.
Geology of the local area is underlain a lower Indus basin described as Indus river alluvial early Eoicene early deposition of sediments includes silt, sand stone, conglomerate, limestone with low compact and cementing materials. Surface feature describe as syncline delta and valley region and anticline ridges exposed. As stratigraphic description there are two formations Gazij and Manchar formation dip gently northeast to southeast in offshore.
The exposed geological material in the area (Manghopir) is generally silty sand, sandy gravel and silty clay which is either product of in-situ weathering or deposited by the action of gravity and water. Below this over burden of silty sandy gravel soil, alternating layer of sedimentary rock comprising of sandstone, shell mudstone, siltstone and limestone are present. The rock formation of this area (Manghopir) is from Nari Formation of Oligocene age and partially from Gaj Formation of Miocene age. The Nari Formation consists mainly of sandstone, siltstone and shale with subordinate limestone while the Gaj Formation consists of shale with subordinate limestone. Both of these Formations were deposited in shallow marine environment. The shallow marine dispositional conditions in evidenced in the area by the presence of reefal limestone in in different members of the Nari and Gaj formations and by the presence of well developed cross bedding and ripple marks in some rocks of Nari and Gaj formation. Preliminary soil investigation will be carried out by the contractor after award of contract at design stage.
The area’s climate is broadly classed as hot and arid. The yearly (1992-2001) maximum average temperature in the area remains approximately 32.3°C. Hottest months of the year are May, June and July; coldest, are December, January and February. Humidity levels in the project area are high in the mornings as compared to the evenings Maximum humidity occurs in the month of August whereas minimum occurs in the month of April.
Average annual rainfall in the district is about 166mm. The rain fall is scanty and is un- predictable. The rainy season stretches between July, August & September.
There is no significant natural freshwater source in the project area. The Indus River about 120km to the east of Karachi city and the Hub River, a perennial stream that originates in Balochistan and marks the boundary between Karachi Division and Balochistan are the sources of fresh water in Karachi.
Groundwater resources in Karachi Division are limited. The aquifers close to the coastal belt are mostly saline and unusable for domestic purposes. Proposed Site A of Jacob line Grid station is near the sea and therefore the groundwater is estimated to be at a depth of 15-20 ft in this area. Site B Baldia-Valika Grid at Manghopir, there is GARAM CHUSHMA (Hot Spring) in which groundwater is heated by geothermal forces and brought to the surface.
BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Data for the EIA was gathered from both primary and secondary sources. Baseline field survey was conducted in July 2012. Sampling locations for the identification of floral and faunal assemblages has carefully been selected so that maximum number of species can be observed within the project area. The summary of biodiversity found during the site visit is Present in form of table.
SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The Proposed Project spread our three towns of Karachi. Underground and Overhead Transmission line will be constructed to connect Baldia-Valika Grid.The route of power line will starts from Baldia KESC Grid Station situated in UC 1 Gulshan e Ghazi of Baldia Town, following Gulshan-e-ghazi road lies between UC 3 Hanifabad & UC 4 Muhammad Nagar and also crossed UC 10 Gabol Colony of Orangi Town to reach Valika Grid Station situated at UC 8 Mangopir of Gadap Town by crossing Orangi town. The major places in the vicinity of Underground Transmission line from KESC Baldia- Valika Grid station Project area are Police training college Saeedabad, 19-D, G-7 & N-5 Last stop, Memon Market, Madina Excellent High School, Bangla Bazar, Government Girls College, Aziz-e- Millat School, Sindh Qatar Hospital and Jamia Masjid Subhani. Major Places at the vicinity of Overhead Transmission line are People Steel Mill, Ijtama Gah, Javedan Cement Factory, Naya Nazimabad, Maghopir Shrine Sindh and Qatar Government Hospital.
The Jacob line KESC Grid Station adjacent to CDGK Parking Plaza situated on New M. A. Jinnah Road, considered in Jamshed Town but it lies between Jamshed Town, Saddar Town and back side of the Grid station is the Karachi Cantonment area “A”
Karachi is one of the world's largest populated cities, spread over 3,530 square kilometers. The city credits its growth to the mixed populations of economic and political migrants and refugees from different national, provincial, linguistic and religious origins largely come to settle here permanently.
Site A
The beginning of Underground Transmission line is from Baldia Grid Station situated at UC-1 (Gulshan-e-Ghazi) Baldia Town then following Underground transmission route is the intersection of UC-3 (Hanifabad) , UC-4 Muhammad Nagar and UC-10 (Gabol Colony). These are dense populated areas with the population (forecast in 2008) of UC-1 (Gulshan-e-Ghazi) 89,813, UC-3 (Hanifabad)
95,571, UC-4 (Mohammad Nagar) 112,060 and UC-10 (Gabol Colony) 98,645 respectively. Hazara, Pakhtun, Urdu and other communities are living in this vicinity The Overhead Transmission line route starts from Transition Station (where it will be connected to Underground Transmission line) to Valika Grid Station.
The proposed Overhead Transmission line is situated at UC-8 (Mangopir) Gadap Town which has the population of about 62,197. The Average household size is 5-7 members per family. Almost medium and lower class families are living in these areas.
Baldia, Orangi and Gadap town are very busy residential and commercial areas of Karachi. These are the residential areas but also know as Commercial at low scale with a number of markets or other business activities. There are some markets, bangla and memon market in the close vicinity of the proposed project area.
The educational facilities in Karachi at present are over and above the National Standards of Educational Facilities. Educational facilities in Karachi Metropolitan areas including are in excess due to commercialization of education and active role of private sector. Private organizations NGOs, autonomous bodies have all taken part in providing private educational facilities, so the measure should be taken to improve standard & quality of education. Major popular school of project area Khyber Muslim School, Millat Excellent High School, Aziz-e-Millat School, Sunrise English Secondary School, Government Monotechnic Institute, government degree Girls College, City District Government School and Government Girls Intermediate College.
The adequate health facilities are also visible in project area, again mainly with private set up. There are some 5-15 main health facilities available in Baldia and Jacobline, out of which some are very near to the proposed project area.
Site B
The proposed project site is located at the intersection of UC 8 (Jacob line) of Jamshed town and UC 9 (Saddar) of Saddar town, back side of the project is Karachi Cantonment. The population (forecast in 2008) of UC 9 (Jacob line) is approximately 114,887; UC 8 (Saddar) is 114,802 and Karachi cantonment is 58000 respectively. Average household size is 5-7 members per family. Almost medium and lower class families (Mix communities) are living in these areas.
Jamshed and Saddar Town are very busy residential and commercial areas of Karachi. This is a commercial area with a number of shopping malls. There are some shopping malls in the close vicinity of the proposed project area. However if we calculate all the shopping malls of Saddar, the nearest major shopping mall is Gul Plaza, Murshid Bazar, Bohri Bazaar, Regal Market, Zaibunisa Street, Rainbow Centre, Mobile & Electronic Market etc which is one of the most famous shopping mall of Karachi. Famous Saddar DHOBI GHAT is at the back side of Grid Station.
The livelihood of the people in the project area is mixture of elite, middle and lower class population, hence very diverse. The livelihood of elite people mainly depends on business, private and Government jobs, however medium and lower class people on shops, jobs and labor.
The major source of drinking water in the project area is the KWSB. People of this area also use water supply line and underground water, for drinking purpose but mostly for gardening, sanitary or cleaning purposes. According to the people of this area, there is shortage of water. The water through KWSB in most of the areas comes daily or on alternative days for around one hour. If there is load shedding at that time, people cannot store the water. In this case people have to purchase water through tankers. The underground water of the area is brackish and hard in nature.
Educational facilities in Karachi Metropolitan area including Saddar & Jacobline are in abundance to commercialization of education and active role of private sector. Private organizations NGOs, autonomous bodies have all taken part in providing private school educational facilities, so the measure should be taken to improve standard & quality of education. St Patrick’s, St Paul’s, St Joseph & BVS are the famous private schools situated in this area. Government Islamia Girls College is near to Jacobline grid station.
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
The consultants organized meetings with primary and secondary stakeholders of targeted areas including local residents, business community and civil servants. The team visited various prominent places in the project area to meet with the targeted audience.
The public consultation meetings were arranged at shops, outside house / flat or on roads. In a metropolitan city like Karachi and due to current law and order situation none of the residents allowed the team to enter inside their house, neither it was possible to arrange a Focus Group Discussion at some central place with a group of 6-8 people together. Individual meetings were arranged at shops, tea hotels, outside the house or on the street / market, or in the office / working premises individually or in small groups of 3-4 persons.
Participants in general raised some common concerns regarding the project and pointed out few common problems which Karachi people are already facing. Some of them also appreciated the project by saying that this project will be beneficial in catering the load problem in designated areas. Neither Non- governmental organization nor Community Based Organization was found in the area.
CONCLUSION
The EIA of the proposed Baldia-Valika Transmission Line and Jacobline-Garden east diversion line in Karachi area has achieved the following goals:
Identification of national environmental regulatory requirements that apply to the proposed project activities; Identification of the environmental features of the project area including the physical ,biological and social disturbance and likely impact of the project on the environment; Recommendation of appropriate mitigation measures that KESC will incorporate and ensure as per this EIA into the project to minimize the adverse environmental impacts.
"If the activities are undertaken as proposed and described in this report, and the recommended mitigation measures and environmental management plan is adopted, the project will not result in any long-term or significant impacts on the local community or the physical and biological environment of the project area in Karachi.

7.1.2 Non- Hazardous Industrial and Commercial Waste:
This includes any non-hazardous wastes that have physical and chemical characteristics, or both, that are different from domestic wastes such as construction wastes, glass, scrap metal, wood, used containers, tires etc. These materials generally pose little risk to the environment and can be disposed of via approved and authorized contractors as per the local legislations.
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
KESC-SP-12 0 28th Jan, 2011 8 of 17 HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department 7.1.3 Hazardous Waste:
Waste is classified as being hazardous because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics which:
· May cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality,
· May cause an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness,
· May pose threat to human health or the environment.
KESC defines hazardous wastes in accordance with the EPA Hazardous Substance Rule 2003, as any waste (i.e. solid, liquid or gaseous) having the following properties:
· Explosive.
· Radioactive (which includes X Rays Films).
· Ignitable or flammable liquids and solids.
· Substances liable to spontaneous combustion.
· Substances which, by interaction with water, are liable to become spontaneously flammable or give off flammable gases.
· Poisons with acute and chronic (delayed) toxicity.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
KESC-SP-12 0 28th Jan, 2011 11 of 17 HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department 7.3.1 Waste Segregation, Packaging & Labeling: Wide ranges of solid wastes are generated by the activities undertaken at KESC Premises. These wastes require different disposal options, from basic land filling to reprocessing for recycling or specialized waste disposal such as incineration.
7.3.1.1 Segregation: By effectively segregating waste types on site we can:
· Avoid contaminating “clean” waste with contaminated or hazardous materials.
· Minimize the quantities (and hence cost) of waste requiring specialized disposal.
· Ensure that the waste disposal option is suited to the waste type.
· Minimize the potential for environmental damage at the waste disposal site.
· Minimize the potential for safety incidents.
· Have more scope for developing on-site management systems.
· Waste should be segregated at the generation source.
7.3.1.2 Packaging & Labeling: A container of a hazardous substance shall be of such size, material and design as to ensure that –
· It can be stored, transported and used without leakage, and safely;
· The hazardous substance therein does not deteriorate in a manner as to render it more likely to cause, directly or in combination with other substances, an adverse environmental effect. The following information shall be printed conspicuously, legibly and indelibly on every container of a hazardous substance –
· Name of the hazardous substance;
· Name, address and license number of the licensee;
· Net contents (volume or weight);
· Date of manufacture and date of expiry, if any;
· A warning statement comprising – (i) The word “DANGER!” in red on a contrasting background; (ii) A picture of a skull and cross-bones; WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
KESC-SP-12 0 28th Jan, 2011 12 of 17 HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department (iii) Pertinent instructions for use, storage and handling and safety precautions relating thereto.
7.3.2 Waste Elimination and Reduction: The volume of waste produced should be reduced through:
· Material elimination
· Inventory control and management
· Material substitution
· Reduction in the consumption of natural resources.
· Process modification
· Improved housekeeping
· Purchase of materials in bulk.
· Use of reusable rather than disposable containers.
· Avoiding purchase of goods with excessive packaging.
· Avoiding wastage of materials.
· Better handling and storage practices to prevent damage.
7.3.3 Re-use: Wherever possible items should be reused rather than discarded, eg:
· Reuse of containers such as bins and barrels.
· Recovery and reuse of refrigerants during maintenance.
· Handle and store packaging material in way so that it can be reused either at site or by others if sold.
· office waste (printing toner, paper) Materials that can be reused should be segregated from the waste stream, cleaned and repaired prior to storage for future reuse. However, containers of hazardous chemicals (e.g. fumigation chemicals) if not required at site – may be damaged prior to disposal or as advised in the MSDS or as per procedure (if any).
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
KESC-SP-12 0 28th Jan, 2011 13 of 17 HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department 7.3.4 Recycling / Recovery: This is the conversion of waste into usable materials and/or the extraction of energy or materials from waste including:
· Paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, wood, glass/plastic bottles
· scrap material
· Waste oil i.e., recovery of oil from vehicle, produced water, tank bottoms and oil based mud.
· All metals.
7.3.5 Treatment and Disposal:
7.3.5.1 Treatment: In situations where source reduction, reuse and recycling/recovery options have been fully explored and cannot be implemented feasibly, treatment of the waste must be considered as an alternative option to minimize waste volumes and/or toxicity. Potential treatment options to destroy, detoxify and/or neutralize waste residues include processes such as:
· Physical methods e.g. gravity separation, filtration, centrifugation, soil washing, solidification, stabilization, encapsulation.
· Biological methods e.g. waste water treatment, composting, tank-based reactors, land farming via bio-remediation and/or phytoremediation.
· Thermal methods e.g. destruction via incineration, burning, thermal desorption, detoxification.
· Chemical reaction e.g. neutralization, stabilization, extraction, precipitation.
7.3.5.2 Disposal: Disposal must be seen as the last resort and should be practiced only when the hierarchy of waste management methods has been fully evaluated (see Figure 1). Depositing of waste on land, in water or other means must use appropriate methods such as:
· Surface Discharge
· Deep Well Injection
· Landfill
· Fuel Blending WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

7.4.1 Handling: Refer to section 5.0 (Health, Safety and Environment Requirements) and following sub sections;
5.3 Use of PPE
5.4 Training
5.5 Safety precaution for workers dealing with Hazardous Substances
5.6 Emergency Response Plan
7.4.2 Storage:
· All waste will be stored in a safe and secure manner pending collection by third party contractors for recovery, recycling or disposal.
· All waste will be stored in a manner that prevents its escape.
· Wherever possible, access to waste containers will be restricted to the Organization’s designated employees, contractors and contracted waste collection contractors.
· Ensure that only appropriate general solid wastes are added to the solid waste container. Certain wastes such as hazardous wastes, appliances, fluorescent lamps, pesticides, liquid waste etc. may not be disposed of in solid waste containers
· Separate recyclable waste (i.e. paper, plastic, empty glass bottles, tins, metals scrap etc.) from other waste. Do not mix wastes; this can make recycling impossible and complicate disposal.
· Where possible boxes and other containers should be flattened to save space inside containers.
· All waste containers and bins should have lids and these should be kept closed at all times in order to minimize odor and prevent wastes being blown out.
· The containers should be watertight, with the use of lids being essential during periods of rainfall.
· Lubricant waste can be recycled, therefore care should be taken for its storage and handling, so that it does not get contaminated or mix with water or other materials e.g. paper, cardboard etc. Filled barrels should be stored with lid closed. Lubricants should be stored separately according to its type/ specification. WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
KESC-SP-12 0 28th Jan, 2011 15 of 17 HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department 7.4.2.1 Secondary Containment:
· All waste receptacles containing liquid waste materials shall be stored in a suitable spill containment facility.
· Where possible, receptacles (e.g. 205 lits. drums, etc) should be stored undercover to prevent the ingress of storm water and the deterioration of the waste receptacle.
7.4.3 Transport:
7.4.3.1 Non Hazardous Waste:
In most cases, transport for disposal of non hazardous waste will be to a designated municipal facility and the majority of such waste will go for recycling. The collection and transport of such waste will generally be arranged through IM. It is necessary to establish disposal facilities locally where every type of waste should be segregated. Onsite burning or disposal of solid waste will only is allowed with approval and a permit from the applicable regulatory agencies.
7.4.3.2 Hazardous Waste: An application for grant of license for transport of a hazardous substance shall be as per the requirements of EPA- Hazardous Substance Rules 2003, and shall provide the following details –
· Name and address of the person from whom the hazardous substance is to be collected; · Name and address of the person to whom the hazardous substance is to be delivered; · Quantity of hazardous substance to be transported; · Mode of transport, including full particulars and specifications of the motor vehicles or Other conveyance; · Route to be adopted between the origin and destination; and · Date and time of proposed transportation. · Marking and signs as per MSDS.

ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
Title
KE-SP-027 00 1 of 18 Corporate HSEQ Date of Issuing Document No. Version Page Version department
1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of Asbestos Management Procedure is to provide guidelines for preparing Site Asbestos Management Plan (SAMP) for employees with control of premises to comply with the asbestos prohibitions and prevent exposure to airborne asbestos fibers while Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) remain in the workplace. 2.0 SCOPE
This Asbestos Management Procedure applies to locations where asbestos containing materials are present. 3.0 DEFINITIONS
Asbestos means the fibrous form of mineral silicates belonging to the serpentine and amphibole groups of rock-forming minerals, including amosite (brown asbestos), anthophyllite, chrysotile (white asbestos), crocidolite (blue asbestos), tremolite, or any mixture containing one or more of the mineral silicates
Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) means any material, object, product or debris that contains asbestos.
Asbestos Waste means all removed ACM and disposable items used during the asbestos work, such as plastic sheeting used to cover surfaces in the asbestos work area, disposable coveralls, disposable respirators, and rags used for cleaning.
Friable (Asbestos) means asbestos-containing material which, when dry, is or may become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Airborne Asbestos Fibers means any fibers of asbestos small enough to be made airborne. For the purposes of monitoring airborne asbestos fibers, only respirable asbestos fibers.
Respirable Asbestos Fiber means a fiber of asbestos small enough to penetrate into the gas exchange regions of the lungs.
Air Monitoring means airborne asbestos fiber sampling to assist in assessing exposures and the effectiveness of control measures.
TWA means Time Weighted Average calculated over 8 hours per day and 40 hours a week
PEL means Permissible Exposure Limit
HEPA Filter means High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter. HEPA Filter is described as a filter which is up to 99.97% efficient to remove 0.3 m size or larger particle from the air passing through filter.

4.0 AIRBORNE ASBESTOS FIBERS EXPOSURE HEALTH RISKS
Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) can release asbestos fibers into the air whenever they are disturbed, and especially during the following activities:
• Any direct action on ACM, such as drilling, boring, cutting, filing, brushing, grinding, sanding, breaking, smashing or blowing with compressed air. • The inspection or removal of ACM from workplaces (including vehicles, plant and equipment); • The maintenance or servicing of materials from vehicles, plant, equipment or workplaces; • The renovation or demolition of buildings containing ACM. Non-friable ACM that has been subjected to extensive weathering or deterioration also has a higher potential to release asbestos fibers into the air.
Asbestos is a carcinogen and the inhalation of asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.
4.1 MESOTHELIOMA
Mesothelioma is a cancer of the outer covering of the lung (the pleura) or the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum) and is usually fatal. Mesothelioma is caused by the inhalation of needle-like asbestos fibers deep into the lungs where they can damage mesothelial cells, potentially resulting in cancer. The latency period is generally between 35 and 40 years, but it may be longer, and the disease is very difficult to detect prior to the onset of illness. Mesothelioma was once rare, but its incidence is increasing throughout the industrial world as a result of past exposures to asbestos.
4.2 LUNG CANCER
Lung Cancer has been shown to be caused by all types of asbestos. Average latency period of the disease, from the first exposure to asbestos, ranges from 20 to 30 years. Lung cancer symptoms are rarely felt until the disease has developed to an advanced stage.
4.3 ASBESTOSIS
A form of lung disease (pneumoconiosis) directly caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, causing a scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue, which decreases the ability of the lungs to transfer oxygen to the blood. The latency period of asbestosis is generally between 15 and 25 years. Asbestos poses a risk to health by inhalation whenever asbestos fibers become airborne and people are exposed to these fibers. Accordingly, exposure should be prevented. 5.0 RESPONSIBILITIES

6.2 RISK ASSESSMENT
The asbestos risk assessment process, in line with company’s Risk Management Procedure (KE-SP-006) involves identifying, analyzing, evaluating, controlling and monitoring sources of asbestos within ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
Title
KE-SP-027 00 6 of 18 Corporate HSEQ Date of Issuing Document No. Version Page Version department
buildings/plants, equipment or other structures. The presence of asbestos within a building is considered a hazard, but the level of risk associated with the hazard is related to the presence of airborne fibers. The identification of asbestos within a building doesn’t automatically necessitate its immediate removal. Asbestos that is in a stable matrix, or effectively encapsulated or sealed, and remains in a sound condition while left undisturbed, represents low risk to health.
If materials of unknown composition, or materials suspected of containing asbestos, are encountered on site, and are not documented in the existing asbestos register, such materials are to be sampled and treated as asbestos until sample analysis confirms otherwise.
A qualitative risk assessment is undertaken each time an asbestos survey of buildings or structures is conducted. Each asbestos situation is allocated a high/ significant, medium or low risk rating. These ratings are defined as follows:
Significant / High risk: Friable ACM that has deteriorated significantly. The material is readily accessible and prone to further disturbance, or unsealed friable asbestos material located in air conditioning systems.
Moderate risk: minor deterioration of the ACM is evident and/or the ACM is prone to mechanical disturbance due to routine activity and/or maintenance.
Low risk: ACM shows no signs or very minor signs of damage/deterioration. Regular access to the ACM is unlikely to cause significant deterioration, if the material is adequately sealed.
Factors which may be included in risk assessment are Friability of the material, its present Condition, Surface-treatment, Likelihood for Disturbance and concentration of Asbestos Fibers in air. For Asbestos Risk Assessment, risk assessment form of HSEQ Risk Management Procedure (F-SP-006-1) is modified and annexed as KE-SP-027-F01 for future use and reference. A quantitative analysis method to analyze risk is defined below;
Friability (F) Score Example Low 1 Strong products such as floor tiles, artex and cement. Medium 2 Non-cement boards (like AIB), ropes, gaskets, millboard and paper. High 3 Insulation products (other than boards i.e pipe lagging), sprayed asbestos, packing.
Condition (C) Score Example No damage 0 Low damage 1 Slight damage, scrapes, damaged edges. Medium 2 Broken with fibrous areas reveled. The majority still being intact. High 3 Badly damaged with debris.
Surface Treatment (ST) Score Example Composites 0 Floor tiles and cement ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
Title
KE-SP-027 00 7 of 18 Corporate HSEQ Date of Issuing Document No. Version Page Version department
Enclosed/sealed 1 Enclosed highly friable materials (sprays, lagging), sealed (painted or papered) medium friable materials (insulation boards), unsealed low friable materials (cement boards, artex) Bare (medium) 2 Unsealed medium friability materials (insulation boards) Bare (high) 3 Unsealed high friability materials (sprays, laggings)
Disturbance Likelihood (L) Score Example Unlikely 0 Not likely to any manmade or natural disturbance (indoor) Moderate 1 Less accessed and prone to manmade or natural disturbance Likely 2 Frequently accessed but does not involve working with ACM Certain 3 Frequently accessed and involves working with ACM
Exposure (P) Score Example PEL & Below PEL 1 TWA 8 hour or less Above PEL but below 2 TWA 30 minutes or less Excursion Limit Above excursion limit or 3 Frequently accessed but does not involve working with ACM above PEL and TWA not less than 30 minutes
RISK (R) LOW MEDIUM HIGH R = P X (F+C+ST+L)
RISK SCORE 1-4 5-16 17-36
The risk assessment of ACM is to be reviewed when:
• There is evidence that the risk assessment is no longer valid • There is evidence that control methods are not effective • A significant change is proposed for the workplace or work practices or procedures relevant to the risk assessment • There is a change in condition of the ACM • The ACM have been removed, enclosed or sealed. • Otherwise risk assessment reviews should be conducted every 12 months. For detailed risk management procedure consult Risk Management Procedure (KE-SP-006)
6.3 CONTROLLING ASBESTOS HAZARDS
Control measures shall be implemented based on the level of risk of exposure to asbestos containing materials at sites / locations. The control measures must be aimed at eliminating risk arising from ACM and prevent exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. After elimination, the methods adopted should follow ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
Title
KE-SP-027 00 8 of 18 Corporate HSEQ Date of Issuing Document No. Version Page Version department
the remaining levels within the hierarchy of controls. The following information should be used to determine the correct control method for effective ACM management.
• If ACM is friable and not in a stable condition, and there is a risk to health, it must be removed by an EPA certified third party contractor, capable of handling asbestos in a safe manner as soon as practicable. • If ACM is friable but is in a stable condition and is accessible, consideration should be given to its removal. If removal is not immediately practicable, short term control measures, such as sealing and enclosure, may be used until removal is possible. • If ACM is not friable and is in a good stable condition, minimizing disturbance and encapsulation may be appropriate controls. • Any remaining ACM is to be clearly labeled where possible and regularly inspected to ensure it is not deteriorating or otherwise contributing to an unacceptable health risk. • ACM needs to be removed before demolition, partial demolition, renovation or refurbishment if it is likely to be disturbed by those works.
6.3.1 ELIMINATION / REMOVAL
Removal is the preferred control option because it removes the hazard from the workplace. The removal process does pose an increased risk to personnel engaged in the removal. Asbestos Removal work is to be performed by an EPA certified third party contractor, capable of handling asbestos in a safe manner.
Asbestos removal work must be conducted in accordance with the best industrial practices complying minimum requirement established in this procedure or site Asbestos Management Plan whichever more stringent.
6.3.2 ENCAPSULATION / SEALING
Encapsulation refers to the coating of the outer surface of the ACM by the application of some form of sealant compound that usually penetrates to the substrate and hardens the material. Sealing is the process of covering the surface of the material with a protective coating impermeable to asbestos. Either of these options helps protects the asbestos from mechanical damage and is designed to reduce the risk of exposure by preventing the release of asbestos fibers into the airborne environment. This control method is not considered to be an acceptable alternative to repairing or removing severely damaged asbestos materials.
6.3.3 ENCLOSURE / ISOLATION
This method involves installing a barrier between the ACM and adjacent areas. This inhibits further mechanical damage to the asbestos and some friable products may be candidates for enclosure if removal is not an option. The type of barrier installed may include plywood or sheet metal constructed as boxing a cladding around the asbestos.

KE-SP-027 00 9 of 18 Corporate HSEQ Date of Issuing Document No. Version Page Version department
6.3.4 SAFE WORK PRACTICES
The asbestos register for the site must be maintained and consulted prior to commencing work, if that work could result in the generation of airborne asbestos fibers. If, after consultation with the register and conducting a risk assessment, it is determined that the type of work and the location of work to be performed would result in an unacceptable level of risk, other controls are required to be implemented.
Maintenance tasks that may involve ACM at sites are to be addressed under controlled conditions, to prevent and minimize the risk of exposure of the maintenance personnel or any other person to airborne asbestos fibers. Safe work practices should be established according to the nature of job and work area.
6.3.5 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) AND SAFETY SIGNS
The PPE requirements for work involving ACM at sites are to be based on the relevant risk assessment conducted by a suitably qualified person. Protective clothing and equipment is to be worn at all times during work in the asbestos work area. Any PPE worn during asbestos disposal is to be treated as asbestos waste and disposed of in the approved waste bags.
6.3.5.1 Overalls
• Disposable overalls. Type 5 (BS EN ISO 13982-1) are suitable. Cotton overalls hold dust and need specialist laundering • You may need waterproof overalls for outdoor work • If the cuffs are loose, seal them with tape • Avoid wearing a long-sleeved shirt - these are difficult to cover properly • Wear the overall legs over footwear. Tucking them in lets dust into footwear • Wear the hood over the RPE straps • Dispose of used overalls as asbestos waste Caution: Never take used overalls home. The laundering of contaminated protective clothing in workers’ homes is strictly prohibited.
6.3.5.2 Gloves
• If you wear protective gloves, use single-use disposable gloves. If you must use latex gloves, use only ‘low protein powder-free’ gloves. • Dispose of used gloves as asbestos waste. 6.3.5.3 Footwear
Boots are preferable to disposable overshoes which cause a slipping risk. Caution: Never use laced boots; these are very difficult to clean properly.
6.3.5.4 Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
Title

7.0 OVERVIEW - SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE GAS
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) gas is inert, colorless, tasteless, odorless, non-flammable, non-toxic, 5.5 (approximately) times heavier than air and chemically stable in the normal conditions. The gas is liquefied at -62oC under atmospheric pressure and 0oC under pressure of 12 kg/cm2 respectively. It is
used within electrical equipment as an insulant. SF6 gas in high concentrations acts as a simple asphyxiant and oxygen levels should be kept above 18% at normal atmospheric pressure. A threshold limit value (TLV) of 1000 ppm volume has been established for places of work in which personnel spend up to eight hours per day, five days a week.
7.1 EFFECTS OF SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE GAS
High concentrations of SF6 gas can occur in non-ventilated open SF6 installations and at ground level of narrow compact rooms, as well as in spaces below ground level (e.g. basements, cable ducts). If
SF6 gas escapes without being able to mix turbulently with ambient air, it may, because of its high density, accumulate at floor level and enter lower located rooms. Ventilation is required to readily mix the gas with ambient air and achieve the threshold limit value (TLV) of 1000 ppm volume.
SF6 Monitoring & Management Procedure
KE-SP-028 00 25th June, 2014 4 of 20 Corporate HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department
7.2 EFFECTS OF SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE BYPRODUCTS
At high temperatures (above 500°C), i.e. when exposed to an electric arc, some decomposition of SF6 takes place, producing compounds that may be toxic. The solid products resulting from the
decomposition of metals subjected to electric arcs in the presence of SF6 gas exist in form of whitish powder that hydrolyses in the presence of moisture to form a sticky grey deposit that is normally
acidic. Solid byproducts such as Aluminum fluoride (AlF3) and Copper fluoride (CuF2) dusts have an irritating action on the skin, eyes, respiratory and mucous membranes. If copper salts are inhaled in sufficient concentration so that it reaches the gastrointestinal tract (via cough and mucociliary mechanisms), they act as irritants producing salivation, nausea, vomiting, gastric pain, hemorrhagic gastritis, and diarrhea.
Gaseous Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) byproducts such as Sulfur tetra fluoride (SF4), Silicon tetra fluoride (SiF4), Sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2), Sulfur dioxide (SO2), and Hydrogen fluoride (HF) are extremely irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat. Other human health effects of these gases include pulmonary edema, skin and eye burns, nasal congestion, and bronchitis due to their corrosive characteristics. In the rare event of any SF6 decomposition products being present in the atmosphere, warning indications are apparent at very low concentrations, in the form of a pungent and nauseous odor. This is evident well before any toxic effects can take place.
8.0 MANAGEMENT OF SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE GAS
8.1 PLANNING
In planning maintenance strategies for sites containing SF6 gas, the type of site, age of site, and prior incidents must be considered. The gas must be monitored via routine site inspections. The gas
pressure for every site containing SF6 must be recorded on the inspection sheet.
All new sites containing SF6 gas must be fitted with low pressure alarms, and where required, lockout circuitry. As part of the maintenance procedures for the site, the alarm systems must be checked to ensure that they are in working order. Gas pressure gauges must also be checked for functionality when maintenance on the site is performed.
8.2 IMPLEMENTATION
The monitoring of SF6 gas shall be performed as per the maintenance instruction. Any gas instrument (gauge, test equipment) that needs to be calibrated will be done so in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
The monitoring report will be maintained by the Process In-charge who will also update the site management records. He must notify the HSEQ Manager / Coordinator of any problems found, and must complete an SF6 Incident Reporting Form (KE-SP-028-F01).
8.3 MANAGING IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS
8.3.1 Registering event, necessary actions and implementation
Based on the monitoring activities and reports, the Process In-charge shall determine what action is necessary and register an event. He will be responsible for issuing a Request for Works specifying what action should be taken. The HSEQ Manager / Coordinator shall implement actions to provide the specified result.

10.0 HANDLING OF NEW SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE GAS
This section covers the filling of switchgear compartments with new SF6 gas from a cylinder when the equipment is already partially full of gas or following erection or maintenance when the
equipment is at atmospheric pressure without SF6 gas. This section, however does not give full details for specific makes of switchgear as this is covered in detail in the manufacturer’s instructions issued for the particular make and type of switchgear.
When filling switchgear with SF6, precautions to avoid injury to the workforce must be taken. The precautions include, without limitation: a) The concentration of SF6 in an indoor environment is below the maximum permissible concentration of 1000 ppm volume. If concentration exceeds, the area should be ventilated
to restore the concentration to below 1000 ppm volume. The SF6 concentration should be periodically measured with an appropriate SF6 detector. b) The remaining workforce is removed from the immediate area in case fragmentation of porcelain on the switchgear occurs on filling. This may occur due to transport damage or damage caused during erection or maintenance activities.
10.1 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The following items will be required during the filling operation: a) Cylinders of SF6 gas; b) Manual handling equipment for gas cylinder; c) SF6 regulator; d) 20 metres (Minimum) of flexible hose with special fittings; e) SF6 detection device; f) Dew point meter; and g) Relevant manufacturers’ instruction for make and type of equipment.

10.2 CERTIFICATION OF SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE GAS
Gas supplied with new equipment, must be accompanied with a test certificate to confirm that the
purity complies with IEC 60376 Specification and Acceptance of New SF6, providing maximum acceptable purity levels of new gas. If no test certificate is available, the gas must be tested prior to acceptance into store. When cylinders are likely to be held for lengthy periods in store, there should not be any deterioration of the gas and it can be used without any further tests being necessary.
11.0 HANDLING OF USED SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE GAS
This section deals with handling of SF6 gas that has been inside a switchgear gas enclosure. The SF6 gas may have become decomposed through arcing during operation or by contamination. The need
to handle used SF6 gas arises where: a) The gas has to be topped up in closed pressure systems; b) The gas has to be removed from the gas enclosure to allow maintenance, repair or extensions to be carried out; c) The gas has been wholly or partially expelled due to an abnormal release; or d) The gas has to be removed at the end of the life of an item of equipment.
Care should be taken to minimize the amount of used SF6 gas released into the atmosphere. Personnel working on or around an installation where used SF6 is being handled should not be exposed to the gas by its release.
11.1 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
11.1.1 Gas Reclamation Equipment (OPTIONAL): Reclamation of contaminated SF6 should be carried out by gas handling plant in combination with a filter assembly comprising a drier section (molecular sieve), absorbing filter section and a dust trap as illustrated below:
Gas Contaminated Drier Gas Filter Dust Trap Gas Handling Plant Molecular Sieve
NOTE: Refer to Manufacturer’s Instructions for gas recovery equipment to determine the type of gas filter material to be used and type of dust trap. The gas handling plant should be clear of remaining
SF6 to prevent mixing with contaminated gas. Use of cryogenic cleaning processes will enable flushing of contaminants. The gas must be drawn out of the SF6 compartment and passed through the filter of the gas handling plant prior to storage. It is preferable to remove as much gas as possible by reducing the pressure in the compartment to as low as practicable in order to minimize the amount of residue-contaminated gas discharged into the surrounding atmosphere.
The contaminated gas should then be circulated through the filter until the acidity is below 2 ppm HF equivalent. Assistance from a chemical laboratory will be required in measurement of acidity. The molecular sieve and other filtering material may need to be changed during the recycling process to
achieve the required acidity level depending on the level of contamination, or the amount of SF6 gas that has been filtered. (Refer to manufacturer’s instructions) All contaminated filtering material shall be treated and disposed of as described in Section 13.2. The gas handling plant should be flushed clean with dry nitrogen after the treated gas has been either
SF6 Monitoring & Management Procedure
KE-SP-028 00 25th June, 2014 10 of 20 Corporate HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department
transferred back to the SF6 compartment or other storage facility. If there is any doubt about the effectiveness of the flushing, test the acidity of the nitrogen gas to ensure adequate removal of
decomposed SF6.
It is also acceptable to transfer contaminated gas from the gas compartment into temporary storage containers and carry out gas treatment when time permits.
11.1.2 Sulfur Hexafluoride detection equipment: An SF6 detector capable of detecting 20 ppm volume, 200 ppm volume and 1000 ppm volume SF6 in air will be used.
11.1.3 Ventilation equipment: Equipment for forced ventilation of enclosed and inaccessible areas shall be of adequate capacity to provide satisfactory working conditions. The working conditions
relate to the maximum concentrations for used SF6 gas after maintenance or abnormal leakage (200 ppm volume) or internal fault or external fire (20 ppm volume).
11.1.4 Vacuum equipment: A high efficiency dedicated vacuum cleaner, equipped with a disposable HEPA filter capable of trapping particles in the micron range, and a non-metallic open- ended nozzle.
11.1.5 Cleaning materials: Disposable cleaning material, agents and/or solvents as recommended by the manufacturer. As a guide, the following items should generally be used:
. Water supply: A water supply for preparing neutralising solutions . Neutralising Agent: Sodium Bicarbonate or Sodium Carbonate . Solvent: For insulator surfaces: 95% ethyl alcohol & For gas enclosure surfaces and other metal surfaces: Voltz, Citrisol solvents or equivalent . Cleaning material: Lint free cloth or paper . Plastic bags: Sealable plastic bags are to be used for holding contaminated items awaiting treatment or disposal or both.
11.1.6 Facilities and services: When handling used SF6, it is recommended that the following facilities be provided:
a) A clear space, for the period of work on the SF6 gas-filled equipment, designated for the purpose of changing and storing protective clothing, having cold water supplies and containers for the storage of soiled protective clothing. The purpose of this space is to facilitate adequate hygiene by minimizing the spread of decomposition products and also to
assist in obtaining the high standard of cleanliness required during maintenance of SF6 equipment. It is important that this space is not used for eating, drinking or smoking or for the storage of outdoor clothing or other materials not associated with the maintenance of
contaminated SF6 equipment. The size of the space and its facilities will be dependent on the size of the installation and the mass of gas involved.
b) A cold water supply for the preparation of neutralising solutions.
c) A second area, with cold water supply and drainage, for cleansing of clothing, any filter materials and disposable cleaning materials. This area may be at a different location to the designated space in Item (a) above.
11.1.7 Filling procedures: All filling procedures are included as sub-sections 16.1 to 16.7 of this document.
SF6 Monitoring & Management Procedure
KE-SP-028 00 25th June, 2014 11 of 20 Corporate HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department
12.0 DISPOSAL OF SULPHUR HEXAFLUORIDE EQUIPMENT
This section describes procedure for the disposal and/or recycling of SF6 equipment that has been removed from service. The equipment required will be as per Section 11.0 for handling of used SF6 gas. The procedure for the end of life of equipment is in sub-section 16.6. Disposal of empty gas cylinders is described in section 15.0 of this document.
13.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT
Any waste produced must be managed in accordance with Waste Management Procedure (KE-SP- 12). Under no circumstances should treated or untreated filter material or contaminated waste material be burnt, as it may cause the emission of toxic gases. Gloves should be worn at all times when handling contaminated SF6 waste.
13.1 PACKAGING OF CONTAMINATED WASTE MATERIAL
All disposable clothing, rags, internal filters from serviced equipment, vacuum cleaner filters, filters
from the SF6 treatment plant and spent micro sieves should be placed in double layer plastic bags that can be sealed. The bags are to be clearly labelled with their contents.
Contaminated equipment that requires disposal should firstly be placed in double layer plastic bags that have been sealed and then within a rigid container, e.g. metal drum or wooden box. The empty area around the bags should be filled with a suitable material, e.g. newspaper, to prevent the equipment moving during transport and possibly puncturing the plastic.
If the equipment is too large to be placed in bags, then a container shall be prepared. The container shall be impermeable, e.g. large plastic or metal drums, or a wooden crate lined with heavy duty plastic. The equipment shall be secured or packed in such a way as to prevent excessive movement that could puncture the container. The containers are to be labelled with their contents.
All material for disposal should be sent to Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) approved contractors with personnel appropriately trained in disposal procedures.
13.2 TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED WASTE SF6
a) Prepare a neutralising solution of sodium carbonate (ordinary washing soda) in clean water, 3kg per 100 litres, by dissolving it in a suitable container, e.g. bare steel or plastics, and stirring to ensure that all crystals are dissolved. b) Place disposable vacuum cleaner filter bags or cartridges and all contaminated disposable materials, other than filter units or their contents taken from SF6 gas-filled compartments, into the neutralising solution. c) When filter units or their contents have been taken from SF6 gas-filled compartments for disposal, unless otherwise instructed by the manufacturer, prepare a second neutralising solution as above, with a volume five times that of the filter material, and place the filter units into the neutralising solution. d) Stir the neutralising solution(s) and contents of the container(s) for sufficient time to neutralise the arc decomposition products (approximately 15 minutes) checking that the solution remains alkaline (pH>7). e) If the solution is not alkaline add more sodium carbonate and continue the above neutralisation procedure. f) Pour the liquid portion of the used neutralising solution from the waste material in the container(s) into a foul water or sanitary sewer drain and flush it down with water.
SF6 Monitoring & Management Procedure
KE-SP-028 00 25th June, 2014 12 of 20 Corporate HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department
g) Remove the remaining solid materials from the containers (steps (b) and (c) above) and dispose of them according to local regulations or through a waste management contractor. Dispose of any remaining neutralising solution with entrained particles.
13.3 TREATMENT OF REUSABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND TOOLS
Items of reusable protective clothing may be laundered in the usual manner. If it is considered that the clothing is appreciably contaminated, a small quantity of sodium carbonate (ordinary washing soda) should be added to the wash water to ensure it is alkaline and to assist in the neutralisation of the arc decomposition products.
Boots, rubber gloves and tools, not suitable for laundering, should be wiped free of visible contamination using rags or clean paper tissues and then wiped over with a soft cloth moistened with sodium bicarbonate neutralising solution, as per sub-section 16.7, to neutralise any remaining contamination.
14.0 INVENTORY CONTROL
An inventory control system overcomes the need to monitor the existing gas in equipment by
controlling the gas movements to and from store. The loss of SF6 gas must be avoided and all gas used from store must be verifiable. The HSEQ Manager / Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that
SF6 Inventory Reporting Form (KE-SP-028-02) is completed at the end of each financial year.
14.1 INVENTORY RECORDS: Ongoing records must be maintained to show: a) Quantity of cylinders in stock b) Sequence numbering of cylinders c) Quantity of gas in each cylinder d) Quantity of empty cylinders returned to store e) Quantity of cylinders sent for disposal f) Retired gas cylinder sequence numbers g) Total quantity of gas in store h) Total quantity of gas dispensed from store i) Total gas in installed equipment
14.2 MAINTAINING SPARE GAS: The maximum quantity of gas maintained in a local store must be sufficient to refill the two largest devices in service only at any given Grid Station. Maintaining excess gas is a high environmental risk and is also unnecessarily cumbersome in store.
15.0 GAS CYLINDER STORAGE
All gas cylinders shall be painted with an identifying colour to identify them as being a controlled stock item and assigned an identifying number. Once the contents of a cylinder are used then the cylinder with the next sequential number is to be used.
Cylinders must be handled carefully and stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from flammable or explosive material. They should be protected from direct sunlight, mounted clear of wet ground and secured to prevent falling over, with their outlet valves upwards. Cylinders should be clearly labelled to identify their contents and should be physically separated into cylinders containing New Gas, Used Gas Ready for Reuse, and Used Gas Not Ready for Reuse.
As with any pressurised gas, there is risk of explosion of cylinders if they are excessively heated as might occur in a fire. Storage outdoors with suitable protection from weather and intense solar
SF6 Monitoring & Management Procedure
KE-SP-028 00 25th June, 2014 13 of 20 Corporate HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department
radiation is recommended. SF6 cylinders must be stored at least three metres from hazardous materials.
16.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
16.1 FILLING A COMPARTMENT CONTAINING AIR
Prior to any activities involving filling or extracting gas, the equipment must be isolated and de- energised in accordance with the Safety Rules. If the compartment has been open to the atmosphere for less than eight hours, proceed with sub-section 16.2.
If the compartment has been open to the atmosphere for more than eight hours, it will be necessary first to dry out the compartment using dry nitrogen as follows: a) Apply a reduced pressure of about 260 Pa (2.6 millibar) for two hours to the compartment using the vacuum pump on the gas handling plant or a separate vacuum pump. b) Fill with dry nitrogen of moisture content less than 120 ppm vol. (15 ppm weight) to a pressure of 120-150 kPa and let stand for five to six hours. c) Measure the moisture level of the nitrogen after five to six hours. If the moisture level is less than 300 ppm vol., exhaust the nitrogen. If the moisture level is greater than 300 ppm vol., repeat items (a) and (b). d) Apply a reduced pressure of 65 Pa to the compartment for 15 minutes. e) Fill with SF6 in accordance with 16.2.
16.2 FILLING A COMPARTMENT PARTIALLY FILLED WITH SF6
Prior to any activities involving filling or extracting gas, the equipment must be isolated and de- energised in accordance with the Safety Rules. The dew point should be checked to confirm acceptability of the gas prior to any topping up. As a minimum, the ambient temperature, the (as) found pressure and the (as) left pressure should be recorded.
a) Remove plug from the valve on the gas cylinder and clear any foreign material from the valve using high pressure air. Make sure the valve is not pointing towards anyone during this procedure. b) Apply a reduced pressure of about 260 Pa (2.6 millibar) for two hours to the compartment using the vacuum pump on the gas handling plant or a separate vacuum pump. c) Connect SF6 regulator to the gas cylinder valve and a purged flexible gas hose to the regulator. d) With regulator closed, open the valve on the cylinder and check the pressure in the cylinder. e) Open the regulator and pressurize the hose to about the same pressure as in the switchgear. f) Connect the hose to the filling point on the switchgear and open the valve on the hose to allow SF6 gas to flow into the switchgear. Slowly open the valve and fill the equipment. (Note: The wider open the regulator, the quicker the gas flow, but also the quicker the temperature of the liquid will fall due to loss of heat with evaporation and a temperature will be reached where no further evaporation will occur without addition of heat to the cylinder). g) If the gas pressure in the bottle drops to the same pressure as in the compartment but it has not filled to the required pressure, it will be necessary to check if there is still liquid in the cylinder by weighing the cylinder. h) If there is no liquid remaining in the cylinder, it will be necessary to extract the remaining gas from the cylinder using a gas handling plant. Obtain a new cylinder of SF6 gas and continue filling, repeating the procedure until the switchgear is filled to the required pressure.
SF6 Monitoring & Management Procedure

i) When the required pressure has been reached as read on the gauge on the switchgear compartment, close the regulator. The required pressure for the ambient temperature should be read from the appropriate pressure or temperature graph for the compartment. (Refer to manufacturer’s instructions.) j) Check for gas leakage using one of the following methods appropriate to the particular gas compartment. o Record pressure and temperature at appropriate intervals (as per manufacturer’s instructions or when otherwise instructed by the HSEQ Coordinator) and make necessary temperature corrections to pressure readings. o Using a leak detector, check flanges, couplings, plugs, etc. for gas leakage. o Apply a leak detecting (soap) solution to flanges, joints, couplings, plugs, etc. to check gas leakage. k) Close the valve on the hose and disconnect the hose from the filling point on the switchgear. l) Close the valves on the regulator and on the cylinder.
16.3 TOPPING UP SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE IN CLOSED PRESSURE SYSTEMS
Prior to any activities involving filling or extracting gas, the equipment must be isolated and de- energised in accordance with the Safety Rules. Topping up SF6 in closed pressure systems should be carried out following manufacturer's instructions.
Gas obtained for topping up of SF6 equipment should be from a known storage facility with test certificates for purity of the gas. The manufacturer’s instructions should give permitted concentration limits for used gas before allowing the gas to be used again after storage. Concentration limits should be obtained for Moisture content; Oxygen content; Acidity; and Hydrolysable fluoride content, expressed as hf.
Top up SF6 equipment as per sub-section 16.2. If the gas is known to be used, handling precautions apply. Personal protective equipment must be worn.
16.4 REMOVAL OF SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE FROM CLOSED PRESSURE SYSTEMS
Prior to any activities involving filling or extracting gas, the equipment must be isolated and de- energised in accordance with the Safety Rules. Personal protective equipment must be worn.
Removal of SF6 gas from within closed pressure systems should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Removal of SF6 should be carried out through a gas handling plant to allow the gas to be stored. The gas handling plant should be used in combination with a filter assembly comprising a drier section (molecular sieve), absorbing filter section and a dust trap to remove any gaseous and solid decomposition products. The Process In-charge should record the ambient temperature, and atmospheric pressure. The records must be forwarded to the HSEQ Manager / Coordinator.
16.5 FOLLOWING ABNORMAL RELEASES
Prior to activities involving filling or extracting gas, the equipment must be isolated and de-energised in accordance with the Safety Rules. Abnormal release can occur due to leakage, internal fault or external fire.
16.5.1 Due to leakage: Leakage from SF6 equipment will be indicated by low gas pressure indicators and an alarm. During abnormal leakage where no abnormal arcing has occurred, the amount of
SF6 Monitoring & Management Procedure
KE-SP-028 00 25th June, 2014 15 of 20 Corporate HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department
decomposed products released into the air would be minimal. Before work commences, ensure that
the SF6 concentrations are below maximum permissible concentration for used SF6. Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn.
16.5.2 Due to internal fault: In the unlikely event of internal flashover in SF6 equipment gas enclosures, arcing will result in a rise of internal pressure that may cause rupture of any fitted pressure-relief devices and, with a reduced probability, may also result in burn-through of the gas enclosure. In these cases, SF6 gas and its arc decomposition products are released to the surrounding air, and the following actions should be taken depending on the particular environment.
16.5.3 Indoor installations or enclosed areas: No entry to the room or enclosed area shall be permitted without protective clothing and breathing apparatus until the decomposition products
have been removed, the area has been ventilated and the concentration of SF6 in air is tested to be less than 20 ppm volume. The presence of the pungent odour of decomposition products will be immediately evident and will provide a warning that rupture of a gas enclosure may have occurred. Personnel entering the room or enclosed area shall proceed as follows:
a) Wear personnel protective equipment (PPE). b) Display warning signs at all entrances. c) Enter and locate the point(s) of burn-through or rupture of the gas enclosure. d) Visually determine the location and extent of arc decomposition product deposits. e) Clean up the deposits, if still in powder form using an industrial vacuum cleaner; otherwise use lint-free rags to wipe off deposits. f) Following the removal of the deposits, force ventilate the room or enclosed area with a fresh-air blower. Areas below where the release occurred should also be ventilated as high
density SF6 may have accumulated at and below floor level. g) Using an SF6 detector, ensure that the concentration of SF6 in air is less than 20 ppm volume before allowing other personnel into the area. Areas below where the release occurred should also be tested. h) Place contaminated protective clothing, contaminated cleaning rags, and if used, the vacuum cleaner filter bags or cartridges in double plastic bags for disposal.
16.5.4 Outdoor installations: The SF6 gas, its decomposition products and much of the entrained solid arc decomposition product particles will normally disperse in air, but the area surrounding the release may be contaminated with solid arc decomposition products in the form of a whitish powder or an acidic sticky grey deposit. Personnel entering this area to inspect the damage or to determine the location and extent of any remaining arc decomposition products shall don protective clothing. When evidence has been found of arc decomposition products:
a) Cordon off the affected area if possible. Display warning signs at the approaches to the contaminated area. b) Clean up the deposits, if still in powder form, using an industrial vacuum. Use lint-free rags to wipe off excess deposits where possible. c) The contaminated areas should preferably be sprayed or wetted down with a neutralising agent as specified in sub-section 16.7. d) The area should be washed down with an ample amount of clean water.
16.5.5 Due to external fire: For persons fighting a fire, precautions normally adopted for protection against vapours from burning plastics will be adequate if equipment has to be approached. Following a fire in an indoor installation, precautions detailed in sub-section 16.5.3 are adopted.

16.6 TREATMENT AT END OF LIFE OF SF6 EQUIPMENT
Prior to any activities involving filling or extracting gas, the equipment must be isolated and de- energised in accordance with the Safety Rules.
16.6.1 Removal and treatment of Sulfur hexafluoride gas: The SF6 gas is to be removed as per sub- section 16.4. The gas may be re-processed for re-use or submitted to a manufacturer of SF6 for re- processing to new condition.
16.6.2 Treatment of the gas enclosure: The number of high-current interruptions by the equipment will determine the amount of decomposition products to be found in the gas enclosure. PPE must be worn as appropriate for the given situation to avoid injury. Outdoor equipment to be removed is to be roped off if possible. Warning signs will be displayed at approaches to the equipment to be removed. If working indoors, ensure that the working area is well ventilated.
Clean up the solid decomposition products from inside the gas enclosure using an industrial vacuum cleaner. Use lint-free rags to wipe off excess deposits where possible. The gas enclosures should be, where practical, filled with a neutralising agent. The gas enclosure is then to be washed down with an ample amount of clean water. All neutralising solutions and rinsing water should be disposed of according to local regulations. The equipment may then be dismantled, removed and handed over to SEPA (Sindh Environmental Protection Agency) certified contractor for ultimate disposal.
16.7 PREPARING A NEUTRALISING SOLUTION
Sodium bicarbonate is recommended for washing the skin. The neutralising solution should be mixed at a rate of 1 kilogram of Sodium bicarbonate to 100 litres of water. It can also be used as a neutralising solution for wetting down of outdoor equipment when mixed at a rate of 1 kilogram of Sodium bicarbonate to 10 litres of water.
Sodium carbonate is recommended for use as a neutralising solution for wetting down of outdoor equipment or for treatment of clothing, reusable PPE or tools and equipments that have been contaminated with decomposition products. The rate of mixture is 3 kilogram of Sodium carbonate to 100 litres of water.

SF6 Inventory Reporting Form
KE-SP-028-F02 00 25th June, 2014 19 of 20 Corporate HSEQ Document No. Version Date of Version Page Issuing department
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING:
a) Report Annual SF6 Emissions based on Annual Changes in SF6 Inventory
This form will be used to report the annual SF6 emissions based on the annual changes in SF6 Inventory.
Following data is required to complete the SF6 Inventory Reporting Form:
• SF6 gas in inventory at the beginning of the reporting year • SF6 gas in inventory at the end of the reporting year • SF6 gas additions to the inventory (e.g. purchases) • SF6 gas subtractions from the inventory (e.g. sales or returns) • Changes in installed capacity
Gas in inventory refers to SF6 gas contained in storage cylinders, and other storage containers. It 1 does not refer to SF6 gas held in operating equipment.
Gas additions and subtractions refer to SF6 gas placed in or removed from the stored inventory, respectively. Gas additions also include SF6 provided by equipment manufacturers with or inside new equipment.
Complete Tables 1 and 2 to estimate annual emissions. Use the Comments box to describe the means used to obtain a specific quantitative value (e.g. measured, estimated using rough data, or other comments including perceived accuracy of the form entries). Add additional comment sheets if necessary.
b) Accounting for Acts of Nature and Other Non-Preventable Events
An act of nature (e.g. lightning or earthquake) or other non-preventable event of equipment failure (e.g. from a severe electrical fault) that destroys or damages a piece of equipment might result in a 2 sudden, ‘catastrophic’ loss of SF6 to the atmosphere . If SF6 loss to the atmosphere occurs as a result of an act of nature or other non-preventable event, this loss should be reported on the form kept separate from normal annual emissions.
1 Reporting is required only on the change in inventory, not the absolute value. This method assumes gas is being added to equipment as needed to ensure adequate insulation. 2 The term ‘non-preventable’ does not include releases from properly functioning equipment (caused by static and dynamic operation) or leakage (e.g., caused by deteriorated and leaking gaskets or seals)

Training Report
Awareness on Asbestos Management
The issue of Asbestos Management has repeatedly been raised by Corporate Compliance and Environment Section (CHSEQ) through EHS Audit actions points and SLA criteria at all BUs
At beginning of this year GSM decided to go for asbestos removal and a survey, where it was assessed that prior to any such action they must be given a basic asbestos management training to effectively and efficiently perform the required task. Henceforth, nominations were acquired from Grids (GSM & GSP) and first session of two hour interactive training was imparted to management and non-management staff of the department.
Moving onwards with the program, Supply Chain departments which can come in contact with Asbestos and Asbestos Containing Materials that are Inventory Management, Transformer Workshop, Fleet Management and Real Estate were given due importance and a two hour interactive session was organized after revising the previous module in accordance with the audience.
A third revision of module was performed to address the audience of BU Generation. Two hour interactive sessions were organized covering management staff at BQPS-I, BQCCP, KCCPP, KTGTPS & SGTPS.
In the last phase, nominations from BU Distribution and previously left out supply chain department that is Procurement were invited. In the similar fashion fourth revision of the module was performed to address the electrical engineers. Two highly interactive sessions were organized for managers performing additional roles of HSEQ.
Apart from the specific issues of the areas related to Asbestos varying from BU Supply Chain, Generation, Grid and Distribution main components of the module were;
1. Identification of Asbestos, Industrial Terms and Uses
2. Risk Assessment, Identification and Implementation of Controls
3. Handling and Disposal of Asbestos
The modules used during the training have been shared with the participant through emails however to further formalize and strengthen the Asbestos management culture whose base is developed in these sessions, a corporate level Asbestos Management Procedure shall soon follow.
