PS1:  Social and Environmental Assessment and Management Systems

The Operators prepared Environmental Impact Assessments (“EIAs”) for each of the six facilities and submitted the EIAs to the competent authority for environmental certification in compliance with the laws of Peru and the terms of the contract with Essalud. The respective EIAs were prepared following the rules and procedures of the National System of Environmental Impact Assessment which required inclusion of the following mandatory elements: summary, description of the proposed activity throughout the project cycle, social and environmental baseline study, identification and characterization of impacts throughout the project cycle, public participation plan, environmental management plan (“EMP”), environmental surveillance plan, environmental monitoring program, contingency plan, abandonment or closure plan, schedule and budget.

Villa María Hospital, Callao Hospital & Callao Primary Care Center: The same consultant was hired to prepare the EIAs for all three facilities. The risks and impacts associated with greenfield construction and operation of the three are similar in nature, with the scale of impact lesser for the primary care facility. The EMPs for the three facilities outline programs for managing impacts related to air emissions, noise and wastes. Mitigation measures were developed based on considerations of viability, effectiveness, benefits, community consultation and design, including technology, engineering specifications, logistic requirements, cost, project cycle and responsibilities. The Operators will hire an Environmental Supervisor responsible for implementation and/or supervision of implementation of the EMP during construction and operation phases. The following action plans are committed to being prepared and implemented: construction occupational health and safety (“OHS”) plan, hospital OHS plan, and hospital EMP (Villa Maria and Callao Hospital). A hospital occupational health unit and safety committee will be established to implement and monitor the OHS plan. Environmental education, awareness and training programs for workers, technicians and professionals will be provided during construction and operation phases.

Trecca Tower Medical Center: A manager for Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and social affairs will be appointed that reports directly to General Manager of the Operator. The EHS and social affair manager will be responsible for reporting on compliance with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and laws of Peru, implementation of procedures and activities identified in the EMP, coordinate industrial safety, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and social issues across the organization, and coordinating contractors implementation of the EMP. The EMP will be implemented as seven programs: mitigation; monitoring; social and community affairs; OHS; construction materials management; management of machines, equipment and vehicles; and contingencies. During construction, the mitigation program will consist of sub-programs for wastewater, air emissions (noise, and gases and particulate matter), and wastes (non-hazardous, hazardous and construction debris). Sub-programs during operation will consist of wastewater, noise and wastes (health care waste and domestic waste). All staff will receive mandatory EHS and OHS training as relevant to their position.

Central & Sabogal Distribution Centers: The EMP provides for a series of programs to manage the impacts associated with logistics handling, infrastructure materials and solid wastes, including plans for the management of expired medicines and other products considered hazardous, solid wastes, monitoring, contingency and closure. The Operator has developed a corporate training program for all employees that is inclusive of EHS and OHS.

PS2:  Labor and Working Conditions

Work place hazards for construction workers, distribution center staff, health care providers, cleaning and maintenance personnel, and personnel involved in handling, treatment and disposal of hazardous material and health care waste are associated with industrial accidents, air emissions, exposure to infections and diseases, life and fire safety, hazardous material and health care waste. These hazards are considered moderate (excepting hazardous material and health care waste, which is considered high) and will be mitigated through preparation and implementation of management plans for OHS, life and fire safety, and hazardous material and health care waste that designate responsible staff and define processes and procedures for the prevention of occupational hazards, industrial accidents and occupational diseases.

The Operators will be responsible for developing a human resources policy and procedures inclusive of provisions explaining employee rights under the labor and employment laws of Peru (including their rights to wages and benefits), collective bargaining, non-discrimination, retrenchment and a grievance mechanism in compliance with PS2.

Villa María Hospital, Callao Hospital & Callao Primary Care Center: A temporary workers camp will be erected to accommodate construction workers. An OHS management plan will be developed in compliance with PS2 and World Bank Group prior to construction and operation phases. The OHS management plan will include a baseline and risk assessment to facilitate identifying risks and preventive and corrective measures in the short and medium term. Training will be provided to construction workers on security, health and hygiene, infectious disease, personal protective equipment, silicosis, ergonomics, reporting of industrial accidents and prevention and control measures. The Operators will establish an occupational health unit responsible for implementation of health and safety programs during operation. These programs will be designed to reduce risks of accidents and provide training to staff on occupational risk factors that cause accidents, accident and injury recording and accident investigation. Monitoring the microbiological quality of indoor air and inert surfaces will be conducted on a quarterly basis, in concert with performing disinfection and other control measures.

Trecca Tower Medical Center: An OHS management plan was presented in the EMP. The contractor will be responsible for preparing and implementing the construction phase OHS management plan during under supervision of the Operator’s EHS manager. The unfinished construction site presents an unsafe environment and will be cleared prior to rehabilitation activities. Medical examinations of construction workers will be required to be performed by a licensed physician and medical monitoring will continue throughout the construction phase. Worker health and safety training will also be provided that includes responsibilities in preventing accidents and maintaining a safe working environment, health and safety standards and procedures, emergency response and contingencies, and procedures for reporting accidents and unsafe conditions and practices. Personal protective equipment will be required to be worn and its use monitored on a daily basis. Scheduled periodic inspections will be performed according to an inspection plan.

OHS hazards during operation, including exposure to radiological diagnostic equipment and bio-hazardous medical waste, will be managed through implementation of specific measures for radiology professionals and waste operators. Procedures have been developed and proper use of personal protective equipment will be required in order to undertake activities related to radiological equipment or health care waste. Protocols for use of sharps will be implemented to reduce risk of needlestick. Continuous medical surveillance of health care workers will be conducted and workers with changes to chronic health or acute contact with bio-hazardous material will be monitored. All staff will be adequately training in the management of health care waste.

Central & Sabogal Distribution Centers: The Operator will prepare an OHS management plan for construction and operation phases that includes a risk assessment of occupational hazards, preventative measures, reporting and training consistent with PS2.

PS3:  Pollution Prevention and Abatement

Construction phase:

Key pollution risk and impacts during construction phase for all facilities are generally related to dust, air emissions, water quality, waste and traffic resulting from activities generally including: demolition, clearing and transportation of debris, grading, soil excavation, material handling and transport, trenching, construction of structures, finishing and completion, dismantling and removal of equipment and machinery and installation of power lines. These risk and impacts are generally expected to be of limited duration with low to moderate effects, excepting hazardous industrial waste which is expected to have moderate to high potential effects, and will be avoided, reduced or mitigated through implementation of the respective EMP’s for each facility, and compliance with the laws of Peru, PS3 and World Bank Group EHS guidelines.

Particulate matter and gaseous air emissions generated from dust and operation of heavy machinery and vehicles will be mitigated through dust control measures such as water spray and proper maintenance of heavy machinery and vehicles. Air quality at Villa María Hospital, Callao Hospital and Callao Primary Care Center will be monitored for fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxide and lead at two stations different stations on 3 separate occasions during this phase. Trecca Tower Medical Center air quality monitoring for particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides will be conducted at two different stations throughout the duration construction. Air quality monitoring at Central and Sabogal Distribution Centers will be conducted annually.

Wastes generated during construction will be mitigated through implementation of waste management programs focused on minimization, classification, segregation, storage, transport and disposal. Categories of waste that will be generated include organic waste, inorganic recyclable waste, non-hazardous industrial waste and hazardous industrial waste. Hazardous industrial waste will result from exposure to hazardous materials, including hydrocarbon and solvent contaminated soil, concrete, asphalt, filters, containers, rags and derivatives. These wastes will be segregated and stored in designated color-coded containers onsite, with transport contracted with a licensed company for final disposal in an approved industrial landfill. Organic and non-hazardous industrial waste, including debris, construction materials, and domestic wastes will be collected, stored and transported for final disposal in an approved municipal landfill.

Operation phase:

Key pollution risk and impacts during the operation phase for all facilities are generally related to air emissions, wastewater, wastes and traffic resulting from operations and maintenance of facilities and providing health care services. These impacts will be avoided, reduced or mitigated through implementation of the respective EMP’s for each facility, and compliance with the laws of Peru, PS3 and World Bank Group EHS guidelines.

Villa María Hospital & Callao Hospital: Wastewater, air emissions, hazardous material and health care wastes were identified as pollution control risks and impacts during operation. Risk and impacts associated wastewater and air emissions are expected to have moderate effects, and hazardous material and health care waste high potential effects.

Wastewater will be collected and discharged to the municipal sewer system. Grease traps, oil separators and other control measures will be installed to reduce potential impacts. Collected grease and other organic materials will be incinerated and effluent will be monitored twice a year for oil and grease, total suspended solids, temperature, pH, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand and flow.

Air emissions resulting from operation of the generators, boilers and incinerators will be mitigated through design, selection and installation of equipment with specifications for emissions below standards for gases, particulate matter and odors as provided in the laws of Peru and World Bank Group EHS Guidelines. Each facility is expected to operate two incinerators that will use a pyrolysis process to chemically decompose organic and health care waste at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, transforming the waste into gases, ash and small quantities of liquid. The gases will be admitted to the atmosphere via a stack on the roof and ashes will be collected, stored and disposed as hazardous waste. Air emissions from the generators, boilers and incinerators are expected to be within permissible limits and will be monitored for fine particulate matter, lead, arsenic, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and sulfur dioxide annually.

Waste generated during operation will be mitigated through implementation of a waste management program focused on minimization, classification, segregation, storage, transport and disposal. Categories of waste that will be generated include organic waste, inorganic recyclable waste, non-hazardous industrial waste, hazardous industrial waste and health care waste. Health care waste will include bio-hazardous medical waste. These materials will be segregated, controlled and disposed via on-site incineration. Hazardous industrial waste generated during operation is expected to include lighting fixtures, batteries, greases, solvents, cleaners, incinerator ash, laboratory chemical waste and pharmaceutical waste. These waste streams will be segregated and recycling options will be considered prior to contracting a licensed transporter for final disposal in an approved industrial landfill the alternative. Organic and non-hazardous industrial waste will be collected, stored and transported for final disposal in an approved municipal landfill. Waste generation and implementation of the waste management program will be closely monitored during operation.

Callao Primary Care Center: Particulate matter and gaseous air emissions, and hazardous material and health care waste were identified as pollution control risks and impacts during operation. A health care waste management plan will be prepared and implemented prior to operation. Bio-hazardous medical waste will be disposed via an onsite incinerator which produces ash and gaseous emissions. All other waste streams will be characterized, segregated, managed, transported and disposed offsite based on hazard. Air emissions from operation of a incinerator and generators are expected to produce minimum particulate matter and gaseous emissions. Siting of the incinerator was conducted based on analysis of alternatives with respect to impacts to the environment, health, zoning and land availability. Air emissions will be monitored on a continuous basis for fine particulate matter, lead, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and sulfur dioxide.

Trecca Tower Medical Center: Wastewater, hazardous material and health care waste were identified as pollution risks and impacts during operation. No air emissions are expected as the center will not feature boilers or incinerators. Two types of wastewater will be generated, sanitary wastewater and from wastewater special services, such as laboratories. Both effluent streams will receive pre-treatment prior to discharge to the municipal sewer system. Grease traps will installed and maintained on a six month schedule, with the filtered material transported to a landfill for disposal. Wastewater generated from special services will receive physical and chemical pre-treatment consisting of a grit filter, sedimentation tank, clarification tank and disinfection prior to discharge to the municipal sewer system. Hazardous material and health care waste will be managed through implementing a health care waste management program. The wastes will be classified and segregated as either bio-hazardous waste, hazardous chemical waste or common solid waste, with color coded containers placed in all appropriate locations throughout the center. All staff will be training with respect to the proper classification and management of waste streams. The center will feature a dedicated central storage facility designed to accommodate the waste streams generated. All waste streams will be collected by licensed transporter for final disposal in an approved landfill. Manifests of all waste shipments will be maintained and reviewed regularly.

Central & Sabogal Distribution Centers: Sanitary wastewater, expired products and solids wastes were identified as pollution control risks and impacts during operation. Sanitary wastewater will be discharged to the municipal sewer system. Protocols will be developed for the storage, transport and final disposal (secure landfill or destruction) of expired medicines and hazardous products. Wastes will be classified and segregated as either common solid waste, or pharmaceutical and chemical waste. Both waste streams will be collected using licensed transporters for final disposal at approved landfills. Air quality, noise and waste management will be monitored annually.

PS4:  Community Health, Safety & Security

Key community health and safety risks and impacts during construction and operation include life and fire safety, earthquake, noise and vibration, air emissions, hazardous industrial waste and health care waste, traffic and security from activities generally including: construction, operation of boilers and incinerators and providing health care services. These impacts will be avoided, reduced or mitigated through implementation of the respective EMP’s for each facility, and compliance with the laws of Peru, PS4 and World Bank Group EHS guidelines. Mitigation of impacts related to air emissions; hazardous industrial waste and health care waste are discussed in PS3.

The Lima metropolitan area is located in a seismically active zone where the probability of earthquake is high. To reduce community health and safety risk associated with earthquake and natural hazards, public facilities will be designed, constructed and operated in compliance with the laws of Peru, including local building codes, fire department regulations, and legal/insurance requirements and in accordance with an internationally acceptable life and fire safety standard. The Operator of each public facility (excluding Distribution Centers) will establish a life and fire safety plan that identifies responsible individuals, applicable codes, standards and regulations, and define policies and procedures for risk reduction, mitigation and emergencies. Elements of the plan should incorporate design features of the building, including sprinkler and alarm systems, as well as a schedule for maintenance and testing of these systems, and periodic review and updating of the plan.

Villa María Hospital & Callao Hospital: Life and fire safety (including earthquake), noise and vibration, traffic and security were identified as community risks and impacts associated with construction and operation of the facility. Risk and impacts associated with life and fire safety (including earthquake) are expected to have high potential effects, and effects related to noise and vibration, traffic and security are considered moderate to low.

Life and fire safety (including earthquake) risks are associated with infrastructure safety, accident, fire and natural hazards will be mitigated through implementation of a contingency plan, as well as building design and engineering. The contingency plan will be prepared based on risk analysis and establishes action planning for emergencies, identifies the personnel and institutions involved, characteristics of alarm systems and internal and external communication, response procedures, equipment and materials, and training requirements, monitoring, evaluation and budget of the incidents to the stages of construction, commissioning, operation, and closure of the project.

Noise and vibration control measures will be adopted during the construction phase, including insulation barriers, fences, security notices, and isolation of the area with safety straps to reduce potential nuisance to neighboring areas. During operation, noise and vibration impacts are identified with operation of the generator, boilers and incinerators and will be mitigated by installation of a metal base with shock absorbers on the boilers and incinerators to avoid contact with the ground and reduce vibration. The generators will be enclosed by a 3 m reinforced concrete wall and trees will be planting along the property boundary to reduce noise emissions. Ambient noise will be monitored at a frequency of 3 times during the construction phase and annually during operation.

Increased traffic and congestion is expected during construction and operation phases resulting from the disruption of local traffic patterns during construction and provision of health services during operation. Construction activities related to the transport of materials and mobilization of equipment and machinery will be few in number and of variable duration. These impacts will be mitigated through placement of highly visible signage in and around the work site. During operation, traffic congestion is expected to result from entry and exit of vehicles for patients and staff concentrated between 7:30 AM and 10:00 AM and between 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM. Each hospital will have procedures for evacuation and what to do in the case of an emergency approved by the applicable regulatory bodies.

Security Arrangements: Security for each of the hospitals and the primary care center will be controlled from a centralized computer monitoring system and will include: parameter surveillance, closed circuit TB, information security , fire alarms, gas leak detectors, internal sprinkler systems, automatic smoke extraction systems, emergency broadcast systems, emergency internal communication systems, personnel and auxiliary service elevators. Armed security personnel are expected to be used. The sponsor and operator have represented to MIGA that security arrangements and specifically the use of armed security personnel will be consistent with PS4.

Callao Primary Care Center: Life and fire safety (including earthquake), noise and vibration, traffic and security were identified as community risks and impacts associated with construction and operation of the facility. Risk and impacts associated with life and fire safety (including earthquake) are expected to have high potential effects, and effects related to noise and vibration, traffic and security are considered moderate to low.

Life and fire safety (including earthquake) risks are associated with infrastructure safety, accident, fire and natural hazards will be mitigated through implementation of a contingency plan, as well as building design and engineering. The contingency plan will be prepared based on risk analysis and establishes action planning for emergencies, identifies the personnel and institutions involved, characteristics of alarm systems and internal and external communication, response procedures, equipment and materials, and training requirements, monitoring, evaluation and budget of the incidents to the stages of construction, commissioning, operation, and closure of the project.

Noise and vibration impacts during construction are expected to be of variable magnitude and short duration producing moderate effects. Impacts will be mitigated through attenuation measures including isolation of the work site with containment barriers or walls, as well as security warnings and signage. Monitoring will be conducted at a frequency of 3 times during the construction phase and annually during operation.

Increased traffic congestion is expected as a result of disruptions of local traffic patterns during construction and increased vehicle use during operation. Construction impacts are expected to be of low magnitude and variable duration with low to moderate effects. These impacts will be mitigated through placement of highly visible signage in and around the work site. During operation, traffic congestion is expected to result from entry and exit of vehicles for patients and staff concentrated between 7:30 AM and 10:00 AM and between 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM.     

Security Arrangements: See Villa María Hospital.

Trecca Tower Medical Center: Life and fire safety (including earthquake), noise and traffic were identified as community risks and impacts associated with construction and operation of the center. Potential effects related to life and fire safety (including earthquake) and traffic are expected to be high, and effects related to noise are considered moderate to low.

Life and fire safety (including earthquake) risks are associated with infrastructure safety, accident, fire and natural hazards will be mitigated through implementation of a contingency plan, as well as building design and engineering. The existing structure will be reinforced by structural evaluation, as well as earthquake resistant design standards based on the laws of Peru. Life safety measures include the installation of two external stairs for evacuation and sprinkler system. The contingency plan was developed to ensure effective emergency response, hazard minimization and continuity of operations and identifies hazards and risks, procedures, responsible staff, equipment and training needs. The Operator will appoint a Director General of Emergency to manage and coordinate the emergency response program.

Noise impacts are expected to be most severe during the construction phase. Prevention measures such as fencing, barriers and buffer zones will be used to reduce impacts and noise emissions will be monitored throughout construction period at three different stations.

Significant traffic congestion is expected as a result of facility operations from staff and patients. The building design accommodates approx. 256 vehicles. A traffic impact study management plan was developed for the site and has proposed measures to mitigate the increased demand resulting from this large outpatient center.

Security Arrangements: Once in operation, the Trecca clinic will count on the following security features: (A) a physical security system consisting of (i) security coordinator on premises 24 hours a day, (ii) private security agents (one for each pedestrian and vehicular entrance, one for the building parameter 24 hours a day, one per floor of the building for 12 hour day shifts, one per two floors of the building for 12 hour night shifts), (iii) electronic security system, (iv) a magnetic or PIR Electronic sensor at the Entrance to each restricted area (Systems, treasury, etc.), (v) CCTV System (including 143 cameras located at any area car or person entrance or exit, common areas, waiting areas, critical areas – plus or minus 15%), and (vi) a Central Security Control.

Central & Sabogal Distribution Centers: Life and fire safety (including earthquake) were identified as community risks and associated with construction and operation of the Distribution Centers. A contingency plan will be developed that contains actions to perform in the event of disasters and emergencies, as well as identifying responsible staff for forming an emergency response brigade.

Security Arrangements: The Central Distribution Center is protected by a closed circuit CCTV system with 32 strategically located cameras, providing 24 hour monitoring, in addition to an electric perimeter fence, central alarm, biometric access control, thirteen security guard locations around the warehouse, a manager and employees dedicated to risk control and prevention. The Sabogal Distribution Center has seventeen security cameras, two agents and a central alarm monitored 24 hours. Armed security personnel are expected to be used. The sponsor and operator have represented to MIGA that security arrangements and specifically the use of armed security personnel will be consistent with PS4.
