The slide provides an overview of the OXAGON Coast Guard Facilities construction project by Al Fahad Company, highlighting key personnel Env Mgr Gupta Prasad and PM Ayham El Ghol. It details an incident on 09-Dec-2025 at 12:01 AM in the Laydown Area (GPS N 27°34'10.4", E 35°32'23.6"), notified to NEOM Environment on 10-Dec-2025 at 2:40 PM.

Project and Incident Overview

• Project: Construction of OXAGON Coast Guard Facilities
• Contractor: Al Fahad Company Trading Industries & Contracting
• Key Personnel: Env Mgr Gupta Prasad | PM Ayham El Ghol
• Incident: 09-Dec-2025, 12:01 AM, Laydown Area
• Location: GPS N 27°34'10.4", E 35°32'23.6"
• Notification: 10-Dec-2025, 2:40 PM to NEOM Environment

A routine PMT inspection discovered torn cement bags spilling onto the soil. The Environmental Engineer and ERT immediately contained the area by cordoning it off and covering it, with no injuries or ecological impacts reported.

Incident Summary

• Routine PMT inspection found torn cement bags spilling on soil.
• Immediate containment executed by Env Engineer & ERT.
• Area cordoned off and covered to prevent spread.
• No injuries or ecological impacts reported.

The slide provides visual evidence of spilled cement bags discovered in the laydown area. It shows cleanup in progress by the ERT team, with the post-containment area secured and covered.

The slide classifies the incident as a Chemical Spill on Land (EI3) with a Class B risk level, meaning moderate, controllable impact with no permanent damage. It confirms full compliance with NEOM-EV-PRC-013 guidelines.

Classification of Incident

• Category: Chemical Spill on Land (EI3)
• Risk Level: Class B (moderate, controllable, no permanent damage)
• Fully compliant with NEOM-EV-PRC-013 guidelines

The Root Cause Analysis (RCAT Findings) slide outlines three key issues. It cites inadequate storage controls without containment or weather protection, insufficient inspection of packaging deterioration, and lack of job knowledge on handling procedures.

Root Cause Analysis (RCAT Findings)

• Inadequate storage controls: no containment or weather protection.
• Insufficient inspection and monitoring of packaging deterioration.
• Lack of job knowledge on handling and response procedures.

The "Contributory Factors" slide outlines key issues leading to an incident. It lists lack of secondary containment or engineering controls, inadequate monitoring and inspections, improper storage and housekeeping, and no prior spill prevention training.

Contributory Factors

• Lack of secondary containment or engineering controls.
• Inadequate preventive monitoring and inspections.
• Improper storage and housekeeping practices.
• No prior spill prevention awareness training.

The ERT and Environmental Engineer secured the spill area, removed damaged materials and contaminated soil for disposal, and cleaned and covered the affected site. Toolbox talks were held for workers and supervisors, and spill pallets with secondary containment were provided for storage materials.

Immediate Corrective Actions

• ERT and Environmental Engineer secured and contained the spill area.
• Removed damaged material and contaminated soil for safe disposal.
• Cleaned affected area and covered with plastic sheeting.
• Conducted toolbox talks for laydown workers and supervisors.
• Provided spill pallets and secondary containment for storage materials.

The slide lists preventive actions like daily inspections of laydown and storage areas and limiting on-site storage to immediate needs. It also covers long-term measures, including chemical handling training on 22-Dec-2025, routine environmental audits, and enhanced site-specific emergency response planning.

Preventive and Long-Term Actions

• Conduct daily inspections of laydown and storage areas.
• Limit on-site storage to immediate requirements only.
• Deliver training on chemical handling (22-Dec-2025).
• Implement routine environmental audits and monitoring.
• Enhance site-specific emergency response planning.

The "Supporting Documentation & Evidence" slide features a grid of five key items: incident photos capturing spills and cleanup, RCAT forms with root cause findings, toolbox talks records, witness statements, and training schedules. Each is represented by an icon and brief description to highlight visual and procedural evidence for incident management.

The spill was contained without escalation via prompt corrective actions. Ongoing supervision, infrastructure, and training reduce risks, upholding NEOM's environmental commitment through proactive sustainability excellence.

Conclusion & Lessons Learned

• Spill contained without escalation.

• Prompt corrective actions implemented.
• Ongoing supervision, infrastructure, & training reduce risks.
• Upholds NEOM's environmental commitment.

Lessons Learned: Proactive Excellence in Sustainability
