1.3. COMPLIANCE WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS

CONTRACTORS working on the Lusail Project site shall comply with these Requirements, LREDC Construction

documentation and reporting requirements; training requirements and environmental risk mitigation
measures required for execution of a range of construction activities. The requirements specified in the
OCEMP are mandatory.
The OCEMP specifies a number of important environmental management deliverables from project
stakeholders. Each Contractor / Developer involved in the execution of construction related works shall be
required to provide a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP), specific to their activities. The
purpose of the CEMP is for the Contractor / Developer to identify the likely environmental impacts from
their contract activities, and to describe the appropriate management measures to reduce the impacts to an

their CEMPs are endorsed by a third party independent environmental consultant.
Each Contractor / Developer shall appoint a full-time dedicated Environmental Manager who shall be based

Average No of persons employed
CONTRACTOR shall maintain up to date records of all incidents and make all records available for review by

A description of the above-listed incident types which are reportable to the Qatar Administrative Authority
has been provided below:

FATALITY

Regardless of the nature of any fatality, be it work related or not work related, each Contractor is required
to notify LREDC immediately via phone, after contacting the Security Control Room. Both work related and
non-work related fatalities inside the Lusail Project Boundary will require the provision of information to

REQUIREMENTS

14.1 GENERAL
CONTRACTOR shall comply with the HSE General Requirements as may be amended or supplemented from
time to time. Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company (QD) as Master Developer to the Lusail Project is
responsible for HSE issues at all LREDC Projects. Consequently, QD requires the CONTRACTOR to enter into a

 Lusail Real Estate Development Company LREDC Construction – HSE General Requirements

HSE Performance Deductions Agreement and the CONTRACTOR shall enter into this agreement when
required to do so by LREDC.
Should the CONTRACTOR fail to comply with, implement, impose, or is deemed to be in breach of any of
these Requirements, LREDC shall, without prejudice to any rights afforded to it, (whether contractual or
otherwise) be entitled to:
1. Provide to the CONTRACTOR Performance Deduction Receipt Form identifying the discrepancy/
violation, required corrective action(s), and required remedying completion date(s). The LREDC
REPRESENTATIVE may conduct corrective action verification inspections following the report of
corrective action completion by the CONTRACTOR;
2. Should the CONTRACTOR fail to implement the required corrective action(s) prior to the due date as
notified by the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE or if a repeat instance of similar discrepancy/ violation be
identified, the CONTRACTOR will be issued a second notice informing the CONTRACTOR of the
violation;
3. Where the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with these Requirements, impose the Performance
Deductions as outlined in Sub-Clause 14.2 of the HSE General Requirements in accordance with the
HSE Performance Deductions Agreement. Notwithstanding the fact that LREDC imposes
Performance Deductions in accordance with these Requirements and the HSE Performance
Deductions Agreement, LREDC may incur charges, claims, costs, damages, losses fees and/or
expenses as a result of and arising from the CONTRACTOR’s violation of these Requirements in
excess of the Performance Deductions. Therefore LREDC reserves its right to seek and recover such
additional compensation for such charges, claims, costs, damages, losses, fees and/or expenses that
may be incurred. Furthermore, LREDC may seek appropriate contractual and/or legal recourse
against the CONTRACTOR as it deems appropriate. LREDC may update these requirements from
time to time.
4. Developer shall sign and return the Performance Deduction Receipt Form and submit to HSEQ
Director for necessary action.
IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE FAILURE BY THE CONTRACTOR IS OR IS DEEMED TO BE LIFE THREATENING THE
CONTRACTOR SHALL SUSPEND ANY WORK AFFECTING OR AFFECTED BY SUCH LIFE THREATENING
SITUATION.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Requirements:
CONTRACTOR’s failure to comply with these Requirements shall entitle LREDC and/or the LREDC
REPRESENTATIVE to:

(ii) Revoke the permits afforded to the (including access to the site) at any time there is a
violation of these Requirements;

losses and/or expenses arising from such rectification work shall be solely borne by the
CONTRACTOR, and recoverable from the CONTRACTOR by LREDC. If the CONTRACTOR fails
to compensate LREDC for any rectification work, and/or to pay any agreed compensation
arising from our violations of these Requirements, within 3 days of the notice by LREDC to
do so (or less if the urgent rectification is required), LREDC shall be entitled, but not

Any imposition of or failure by the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE to issue notification of a HSE breach or a failure
by LREDC to impose a Performance Deduction shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR of any of his obligations
under its contract.
In the event of the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE taking action in accordance with this Clause 14, the
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any additional costs or extension to the time for completion of their
contract.
Furthermore, none of LREDC or the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE(s) shall be liable for, nor shall the CONTRACTOR
be entitled to, any damages, costs, expenses, losses, or compensations for any impacts to its work, project
or reputation, following any Payment Deduction(s), suspension, stoppage of work, or permit revocations by
LREDC or the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE(s) (as appropriate).

14.2 PERFORMANCE DEDUCTIONS

Performance Deductions shall be paid by the CONTRACTOR for its failure to comply with these
Requirements, and these are subject to LREDC review and approval. The CONTRACTOR acknowledges that
the Performance Deductions are not a pre-estimate of loss or damage which may be suffered to person or
property as a result of non-compliance with the Regulations. The CONTRACTOR agrees that the
Performance Deductions are therefore in addition to, and not in substitution of, LREDC’s rights at law and
shall not be interpreted as full and inclusive compensation to LREDC or any other party against any damages
or losses to person or property, including but not limited to LREDC’s infrastructure or any improvements to
the LREDC Project.
If failures or violations of these Requirements are not corrected within the timescale required by the LREDC
REPRESENTATIVE, subsequent compensation “Performance Deductions” shall be imposed upon the
CONTRACTOR at LREDC’s discretion.
The Performance Deduction shall be applied for the first instance of failure. Where repeated instance of
Requirement violation occurs, or multiple instances of the same violation occur at the same time and
location, the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE may apply Performance Deductions equal to the sum of the
Performance Deduction multiplied by the number of instances of violation.
14.2.1 This list is non-exhaustive. Further compensation may be required to be paid, where the cost to
LREDC and other affected parties exceed the amounts referred to below. The amounts below are in
addition to any amount that may be prescribed by contract, Qatari law or other regulations which may be
collected by LREDC or any competent authority.
14.2.2 The table below has specifically remained silent on other HSE violations that may occur. Those will
be dealt with using the remedies available under the specific construction contract or sale and purchase
agreement as relevant.
14.2.3 If a Performance Deduction has been imposed on a CONTRACTOR, where the Performance
Deduction has exceeded the amount of QAR 50,000, LREDC reserves the right to suspended any and or all
works until payment has been made. None of LREDC or the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE(s) shall be liable for, nor
shall the CONTRACTOR be entitled to, any damages, costs, expenses, losses, or compensations for any
impacts to its work, project or reputation, following any Payment Deduction(s), suspension, stoppage of
work, or permit revocations by LREDC or the LREDC REPRESENTATIVE(s) (as appropriate).
