Description of key Environmental and Social Issues and Mitigation:
AHI has presented plans to address these impacts to ensure that the proposed project will upon implementation of the specific agreed measures, continue to comply with the environmental and social requirements - GOP laws and regulations and IFC Performance Standards. The information about how these potential impacts will be addressed by AHI is summarized in the paragraphs that follow.

- Social and Environmental Assessment and Management Systems

AHI has a management system to manage Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) performance of the company. The Chief Executive Officer of AHI in coordination with the Chairperson of the Safety Committee is responsible for a Safety Management Program which provides oversight of environmental, social and health and safety. Daily activities are coordinated by a Safety Officer who reviews changes in laws, regulations, and standards; assesses the need to make changes to general safety, equipment, procedures, training, and performs other activities essential to implement the Safety Management Program. The Safety Officer is also responsible for conducting risk assessment (job hazard analysis) and for coordinating the annual review of all programs under his oversight. AHI’s management program includes operational policies and procedures that are implemented at the facilities level by department directors and managers who report to the Safety Officer. Policies and procedures are in compliance with applicable GOP regulations for operation of these facilities and consistent with good international industry practice.

Human resources are managed effectively at AHI through the HR Department. Training of staff is done on a routine basis in compliance with GOP workplace regulations and is summarized in training manuals available to the staff. Department managers are responsible to ensure that employees are adequately trained to perform their work safely. Subcontractors are contractually obliged to have adequately trained workers.

AHI has a monitoring program for EH&S issues that are managed in compliance with GOP regulations. Reporting requirements are consistent with national laws and regulations, and are used for continual improvement of training programs especially in health and safety. Internal audits are conducted periodically with oversight of senior management. As required by GOP regulations, AHI provides external status reports such as those for environmental and health and safety performance to the relevant government authorities, who, in turn, disseminate information to the public, as necessary.

- Labor and Working Conditions

Labor practices and working conditions, including occupational health and safety, at AHI’s operations comply with GOP regulatory requirements. AHI has a Human Resources policy that is consistent with GOP labor laws. The Company’s human resource policy is included in employment contracts, and addresses working conditions, terms of employment, and wages and benefits. This information is also provided in the form of an employee handbook at the time of induction into the company. Subcontractors, including construction workers on site, are required to comply with all AHI labor requirements specified in contractual arrangements.
