This includes the following: Conduct monitoring and on-site audits to verify implementation of the ESMP (see Monitoring provisionsin Chapter 6.2, Table 1) and report on findings to the PIA.Communicate any environmental issues and incidents to the PIA immediately.Support the PIA with the training of the construction workers to raise awareness in the fields of E&Stopics and in general implementation of this ESMP.All employees of the Contractor are responsible for the implementation of this ESMP. Contractor’s Health, Safety,Environment & Social (HSES) Manager is responsible for monitoring. Contractor’s site supervisors and engineersare responsible for overseeing the sub- Contractors performance with respect to E&S management andimplementation of this ESMP. These responsibilities will be communicated to the staff during the site induction.3.3TRAININGThe PIA will provide an Induction Training to all its employees and Contractor personnel working on the Projectbefore early works start. This Induction Training shall be conducted for all new workers, also if they join theconstruction site later during construction activities. The goal of the training is for PIA employees and Contractorpersonnel (including sub-contractors) to understand: The mitigation measures included in this ESMP and how it will be implemented on site includingresponsibilities;Construction ESMPpage 6 of 16Reconstruction of Block N56 Package 7

The sensitivities of the area (if any) in which the Project will be constructed and operated;Occupational Health and Safety (H&S) rules at the construction site (e.g. personal protective equipment,rules of conduct, first aid);The Project’s Grievance Mechanism and the basic worker’s rights (see 8 Core Labour Standards below);How to deal with enquiries/ questions/ grievances by the public/ local stakeholders;Interaction rules with the people living close to the construction site (Code of Conduct) and how to dealwith unauthorised visitors to the site;How to deal with unforeseen incidents/ emergency situations;The roles and responsibilities within the PIA, the Contractors, sub-Contractors and workers with respectto environmental and social issues;Site induction shall be given also to all visitors and recorded in visitor induction register.Contractor’s site supervisors and engineers will give tool box talks to operatives on key issues such as spillresponse and waste management, on a basis of one per month and as near miss trends are identified. Followingtopics should be tackled: HousekeepingWaste Management (hazardous waste, waste segregation)Ecological AwarenessWater PollutionDust and Air QualitySpill ControlNoiseUse of PetrolWashing Down Plant and MachineryReporting of IncidentsOperatives attending the tool box talks will be required to sign an attendance register. The register together withtopics raised during the meeting should be kept on site as the record of toolbox talk.The PIA keeps records of the training sessions. The training will be repeated as needed during the constructionactivities.4.PROJECT STANDARDS (NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL)For each project respective national legislation needs to be respected: National legal context with regard to e.g.:o Labouro Occupational and Community Health and Safetyo Environmento Land Acquisition and compensationo Permit and Monitoring requirementso Contractor managementThe management and mitigation measures outlined in this document (especially Chapter 6) are aligned withinternational best practice standards for the management of E&S risks.

The PIA will also seek for feedback from the communities aboutthe Project. As part of its community liaison process, the PIA will implement a Grievance Mechanism to ensurethat all stakeholder comments, suggestions and objections are captured and considered. It will allow the affectedcommunity and the workers to express their concerns and any complaints directly to the PIA. Contact details andinformation on the procedure, including grievance form, will be distributed to the local communities. It isenvisaged that in general, grievances will be responded to within 20 working days after receipt.All comments and complaints will be investigated by the PIA and appropriate action taken as necessary. Recordsof all complaints and actions will be maintained on site.UNRWA engages with a wide variety of stakeholders at the national and local level, including the DirectorateGeneral for Urban Planning (DGUP); the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR); the Department ofGeneral Antiquities (DGA); the Lebanese Palestinian Dialogue Committee (LPDC); the Lebanese Armed Forces(LAF); the Palestinian Embassy; representatives of local Lebanese municipalities; and the Camp leadershipincluding the NBC Factions and Popular Committee.6.REGISTER OF E&S ASPECTS6.1PLANNING AND DESIGNThe Project will be planned and designed by the PIA with the following basic considerations: The Project will be designed with a view to:o Ensuring that key/ routine maintenance and operations can be implemented by thecommunity/beneficiaries.o Appling low-maintenance solutions in the design of buildings, e.g. based on other buildings ofthe same type in the region.o Accounting for proper ventilation and adequate resistance to severe weather or natural disasters.o If feasible, developing a maintenance plan with the beneficiaries of the building.Planning the Project to make use of local resources to avoid construction traffic and associated impacts tothe communities.Planning the Project so as to minimize use of natural resources (material, water, land).Planning the Project in a climate-friendly way so as to minimize its carbon footprint and tap into themitigation potential of the building and construction industry.Engaging with the people living in the area around the Project site (including neighbours, local decisionmakers) early in the planning process and throughout construction activities to inform them about theplanned construction and also seek for their feedback around potential sensitivities. Site visits anddiscussions with the local population should be conducted throughout the design and planning phase. Agrievance mechanism will be designed and established for workers and the public during the planningphase already.Hiring unskilled workers and skilled workers, if available, from the local communities to encouragesocial growth and development in the region.Construction ESMPpage 8 of 16Reconstruction of Block N56 Package 7

6.2Conducting Induction Training for workers as outlined in this ESMP before start of construction.Establishing core E&S procedures already at the planning stage. This includes as a minimum:o Incident Reporting (fatal accidents, medical treatment cases; first aid cases; restricted work injuries;near misses; environmental events)o Grievance Mechanism (one combined mechanism for workers and community)o Recruitment Procedure for the upcoming construction phase.o Training Procedures/ Training material as outlined above (Occupational H&S; Community H&S;environmental sensitivities)o Work site/ construction site risk assessment and corresponding Construction H&S PlanCONSTRUCTIONThe Table 1 below sets out all E&S commitments that are to be fulfilled by the Contractor - supported by the PIA- during the construction activities.
