and local authorities (which have the competency to check compliance with Project provisions regarding the
storage, transportation, and final disposal of hazardous materials), and also to sanction deviations from legal
framework).
The operational cooperation procedures in the construction site will be set in the Statement of Works that will
be an Appendix to the Commercial Contract to be signed between the Beneficiary and the Contractor. The
Contact Point Unit for each construction site, as defined in the Contractor Management Plan, is the structure
responsible for the implementation and monitoring of the provisions in the Statement of Works.
5.2 Company Roles & Responsibilities
Transgaz HSE management roles and responsibilities during the Project construction phase are detailed in
the BRUA PMU - Regulation of organization and functioning. Further information is also provided in other
documents listed in the F-CESMP document.
With regards to this CESMP, Transgaz S.A. is responsible for key management activities including:
• Development of bidding conditions regarding hazardous materials management;
• Professional training of a Transgaz Hazardous Materials representative on site;
• Monitoring Contractor performance, supervision and control of Contractors;
Specific roles and responsibilities within the Company presented in Table 5.2 will apply.

substance (whether liquid, solid, gasseous or vapour) that could result in detrimental impacts to the environment and/or local
communities (G.E.O. 195/2005 on environment protection, as further amended and supplemented)

5.3 Contractor Roles & Responsibilities
Overarching Contractor HSSE requirements are defined in the relevant articles of their contracts and
associated mandatory Annexes. Each contractor must also implement all relevant requirements of the
CESMPs, including this Hazardous Materials CESMP. Contactors are also responsible for ensuring that any
subcontracted work meets these requirements. In addition, within the Project, responsibility for hazardous
materials management lies with the Contractors according to the principle "polluter pays".
Contractors will be required to present to the Beneficiary, represented in the Project by PMU BRUA, in
accordance with the requirements, their proposed approaches to:
• Management of hazardous materials on site, including handling and storage;
• Spill recovery and emergency response;
• Any other conditions outlined in this CESMP or its appendices.
Further specific responsibilities of the Contractor/sub-contractors are outlined in the Appendices to this
CESMP and in Table 5.3 below.
Role Responsibility
- Manager - Ensures that all construction activities are performed in compliance
responsible for with the requirements of this Plan.
environmental - Produces a Hazardous Materials Management Plan in line with this
matters Plan.
- Ensures the proper handling, labelling, storage and management of
hazardous materials.
- Ensures the proper disposal of hazardous materials in line with
national / EU legislation.
- Identifies registered and appropriately managed disposal facilities for
hazardous materials; and undertakes a review of facilities as part of
Project supplier management processes.
- Ensures all staff receive the necessary training in relation to
hazardous materials management.
- Performs regular audits of the working sites to ensure all activities are
being undertaken according to the requirements of the Hazardous
Materials Management Plan.
- Ensures that all information regarding hazardous materials is properly
recorded and reported. Ensures the transport of hazardous materials
is undertaken by an authorized firm(s), according to the required legal
provisions.
Objective Approach
1: Risk Based Monitoring programs to address material issues based on the use of the ‘source-
pathway-receptor’ approach in the EIA. These are commensurate with:
the scale and nature of the activity,
the assessed potential level of impact (and uncertainty thereof), and
the sensitivity of the local environment within the activity area of influence
2: Compliance Additional monitoring programs to meet specific regulatory needs.
Based
By adopting the above approach, the monitoring plans should meet both Transgaz’s requirement to
understand and manage the Project’s potential impacts for each construction activity/ location and any
specific requirements of the Romanian authorities. The specific monitoring requirements for this Hazardous
Materials CESMP are presented in Appendix 2.
6.3 Management System Verification Monitoring
Management System verification monitoring requirements, as detailed in the F-CESMP Document, are
divided into three levels as shown in Table 6.3 below.
Table 6.3 Auditing Management System
In addition to the above, there are also expected to be regulatory audits and lender compliance monitoring
visits. The nature and structure of these will be confirmed with regulators and lenders.
Table 6.4 Key Performance Indicators for Project Hazardous Materials Management
The specific auditing and monitoring requirements for the verification of each of the management measures
described within this Hazardous Materials CESMP (Appendix 1) are identified in Appendices 1 and 2. This
includes identification of the relevant audit tier level (1 to 3) to be undertaken.
