BKKS has a specific Sub-Contractor quality assessment procedure in place. BKKS requires that all its subcontractors achieve and maintain the same high HSE standard and requirements as those of BKKS.

BKKS, prior to starting individual projects, especially in live and operating plants, ensure all tasks and working processes have been job specifically risk assessed (RAMS) and job safety analyzed to follow the actual scope of work step by step before commencement. For work at Karachaganak, BKKS adopt the KPO HSE procedure KPO-HSE-PR-017-Activity Risk Assessment.

These Method Statements and Risk Assessment Procedure are always job specific and analyze (job safety analysis) the actual scope.

This Risk Assessment Procedure along with the KPO Permit to Work (PTW) requirements are undertaken on a daily basis on all individual job sites and scope of works.

BKKS has complied with the RAMS and PTW Procedures and safe work systems from the commencement of work, within the Karachaganak Field.

BKKS implement an Integrated Management system to ISO 14001 which includes working to IOSH 18001 Environmental management. All appropriate documentation, for reducing our environmental impact during the execution of services within this specified scope will be implemented with particular reference to the Power Plant and Steam Plant. All applicable waste passports and waste disposal licenses and sub-contract agreements will be put in place.

A constant review of Maintenance and Operations activities to establish where BKKS can reduce, limit or eliminate waste will be undertaken. Where an environmentally friendly alternative is available, it will be used.

Maintenance and operations will ensure that, through effective maintenance and adept operation of the plant, the turbines remain as efficient as possible to reduce emissions to the environment.

All chemicals will be covered by our company COSHH procedures. Storage, handling and disposal will be dealt with in the appropriate manner to reduce the environmental impact to as low as reasonably practicable.

As per the our company HSE policy and safety standards, one of BKKS’s priorities is to ensure that the above mentioned job specific BKKS HSE Plans, work related procedures and safety programs always align with our Client’s requirements and fully comply with RoK related standards.
