14.  ESH measures too generic  Disconnect between protection planned and contract  Contractors unaware/unable/uninterested  Roads departments not committed  Supervision consultants not committed (foreign and domestic)

15.  Need sound and specific mitigation measures, better documented  Ensure social and environment considered in design and are in contract  Use launch workshop to sensitize all actors  Accountability is needed – especially financial penalties

36.  EHS Guidelines need to be more focused and relevant ◦ Aim for intended audience: contractors ◦ Focus on most important areas ◦ Express as or link to technical specifications  Need to be linked to contract ◦ Bank’s SBDs need to be updated and EHS integrated ◦ Ensure EHS forms part of EMP which forms part of contract  Need to have EHS compliance costs in BOQ as provisional sum ◦ Otherwise committed contractors disadvantaged  Bank staff need to look at EHS during missions
