 12. Emergency Procedures: each person in the work party is to be familiarized with the operation and location
of all safety equipment provided in the hot work area (fire extinguishers, telephones and alarm buttons) and
to be aware of all emergency procedures.

9.9 FIRE WATCHER DUTIES

1. The employee assigned should have no other duties while actual cutting or welding is being done.
2. Must be present and undistracted at all times with the welder (when specified in the permit) and be able to
switch off the electric welding set, or shut off gas bottles in an emergency or in case of any alarm. Give hands-
on training and verify that he is capable of shutting down the welding machine or closing the bottles. Verify by
having him give a demonstration.
3. Must ensure that the work area and the adjacent areas are maintained in a safe orderly condition, i.e. sparks
are not falling onto unprotected areas.
4. Particular care must be exercised if hot work (i.e. welding, burning, etc.) is being done on module walls,
roofs, where heat/sparks/flame could penetrate into adjacent area.

9.10 WORK PERMIT General Considerations

1. The rig will use the company Work Permit system that is governed by the Work Permit Form.
2. The Work Permit system is not just another paperwork project. Rather it is a system that helps guarantee
the following:
a) Relevant Safety Systems and Barriers in place to prevent injury, damage, or loss.
b) Communications between department heads, supervisors, and personnel to avoid conflicting
simultaneous operations.
c) Proper closure of a project to reestablish normal operations after work is completed or ensure another
Work Permit is issued at the beginning of the next hitch.
d) Responsibilities and Prerequisites for a Work Permit System. These are required to ensure the proper
operation of a Work Permit System.
3. The Operations Superintendent / OIM is responsible for the implementation, operation and training of
supervisors and personnel in the Work Permit system.
4. The Plant / Rig will have adequate stocks (pads) of Work Permit Forms. A Work Permit Form contains an
original followed by 2 copies (Three sheets in all.)
A SAFETY BOARD IS REQUIRED IN THE CONTROL ROOM / OIM’S OFFICE TO DISPLAY THE
ORIGINAL OF THE THREE SHEETS OF THE WORK PERMIT. THE ORIGINAL WILL BE DISPLAYED IN
SUCH A WAY THAT ANYONE IN THE OFFICE WILL BE ABLE TO EASILY SEE THAT WORK
REQUIRING A PERMIT IS IN PROGRESS.

9.11 GENERAL WORK PERMIT SAFETY REGULATIONS

1. All welding equipment must be shut off when not in use.

2. Keep accesses and escape routes clear.
3. Pressurized gas cigarette lighters and matches should not be carried by anyone welding or cutting.
4. Any potentially dangerous incident must be reported to the supervisor who shall inform the relevant Dept.
Superintendent / OIM.
5. Never cut containers and drums.
 6. In hazardous areas, the atmosphere must be checked using an explosimeter. The percentage of Lower
Explosive Limit measured must be less than 1% for hot works and less that 10% for cold works.
7. Particular attention must be taken when work takes place in classified hazardous zones.
8. Areas saturated with oil should be washed down and cleaned thoroughly to remove any ignitable
substances. A gas test should be made if the presence of gas is suspected.
9. Ensure that drain systems in work areas are operationally safe, clear, covered and will not create a
hazardous condition during hot work.
10. As required, a test for gas will be done before commencement of hot work and periodically as specified on
the permit.
11. If continuous gas monitoring is required, then position a gas detector, with audible alarm, reasonably close
to the work, on the upwind or positive ventilation side of the job.
12. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to isolate fixed automatic detectors. In these cases, it is
essential to ensure that full sensing coverage of the area is maintained, e.g. by having a fire-watcher and
using portable gas detectors etc.

9.12 HOUSEKEEPING FOR WORK PERMIT OPERATIONS

1. Housekeeping is a foundation for quality, safety and efficiency work that personnel must be trained to
perform and maintain.
2. Good housekeeping should be maintained around welding areas to control fire hazards and ensure the work
is done safely.
3. Clean and organize the work area before commencing hot work.
4. Clean and organize the work area at the end of the job and before shift change.
5. Remove all flammable and combustible materials from the work area (this includes empty drums,
pressurized containers and gas bottles not being used for job).
6. Gas bottles should not normally be inside enclosed spaces. They should be positioned outside and securely
lashed in the upright position.
7. Where cables and hoses have to pass though doors, keep door opening to a minimum and ensure that door
opening is maintained in such a way that there can be no damage to cables or hoses.
8. Use protective screens or safety barriers to protect others.

BEFORE ANY HOT WORK IS PERFORMED ON PIPELINES SYSTEMS, THE PIPE MUST BE
CLEARLY MARKED BY THE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR.

9.13 FIRE PRECAUTIONS IN WORK PERMIT OPERATIONS

1. A fire hose, pressurized up to the nozzle, is to be laid out ready for use if required in the permit.
2. A spare fully charged and appropriate fire extinguisher, additional to those permanently installed, is to be
positioned near to the hot work area.
3. The deluge system on drill floor must be pressurized at all times and capable of manual operation.
4. Ensure that wooden scaffold boards in hot work area are fire-resistant. Preferably use metal boards.
5. Position fire blankets below hot work area, to protect from sparks and welding scatter.
6. Blankets are to be kept wet with the water and must be clean and free from diesel/hydrocarbon spillage.
7. Construct screens around work area to contain sparks and welding scatter.
9.14 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN WORK PERMIT OPERATIONS

1. When arc welding, the welder should use a shield or helmet (correct shade of filter) that will protect both
the eyes and the skin.
a) Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff less trousers, and high
shoes.
b) Safety goggles with side shields should be worn during the grinding operations.
c) Persons assisting welders should wear proper personal protective equipment.
d) Ventilation or proper respiratory protection should be utilized when cutting or welding which might
produce harmful fumes.
2. Over water (approved work vest) or above deck levels (anti-fall devices).
a) Anti-falls system should be used.
b) See “working at heights” procedures.

9.15 JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS (JSA)

1. A JSA will be prepared for all tasks where there is a risk of injury to personnel or damage to property or
the environment. JSA is a process where the hazards associated with each step of a job are identified and
control measures are put in place to lower the risk to the personnel, property, or the environment. All work
permits need to be documented with a JSA.
2. Information is recorded using the JSA worksheet. The worksheet includes the signatures of those that
participated in the analysis.

10. SAFETY AUDITS & RISK ANALYSIS

10.1 RIG AND ACCOMMODATIONS SAFETY INSPECTIONS

Regular plant / rig safety inspections will be carried out using checklists following safety audit schedule.
At minimum, one audit per week will be carried out.
Such inspections are carried out under the responsibility of the Plant Manager / OIM who may delegate parts of
the inspection.
Checklists are available in the Group HSE manual.
These will be revised periodically as necessary under the direction of the Plant Manager / OIM in cooperation
with the Safety Department.

10.2 RISK ANALYSIS

Each operation must be audited and analyzed to identify correctly the risks involved.
Audits will determine the risks and the likelihood of accidents based on those identified risks and potential for
accident.
Risk analysis sheets must be used during job’s preparation and pre-job meetings.
After a job is completed one full analysis must be performed to update the risk analysis sheet.

11. ACCIDENT AND NEAR MISS INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING

See group standard procedures for reporting accidents

All accidents and near misses must be reported to the Plant Manager / OIM and the HSE Manager.
  The area Superintendent if they occur on the plant site,
 The Tool pusher if they occur on the rig site,
 The Camp boss if they occur at the camp site,
 Potential Contractor's supervisors for their own personnel.

Accident / Near Misses will be reported to Base immediately by phone and within 12hours of occurrence on the
ACCIDENT / NEAR MISS / INCIDENT REPORT form Part A.
The reporting must be done first by the chief of the victim, and then analyzed and commented by the here
above persons in charge who will give the report by hand to the dept. Superintendent / OIM together with their
comments.
The Superintendent / OIM will forward the report and his own conclusions and action plan to the Plant CEO,
Plant Manager /Drilling & Production Manager/Rig Manager, the Personnel dept., and the HSE Manager.

Accident investigation must take place as soon as possible after the accident and after the first report has been

 Keep good relationships with local population in order to assess immediately damage, to mitigate it and to
compensate when justified according to the current local practices.
 Consider the cleanup of the worksite as a part of the job whatever its nature (maintenance, construction, etc.).
 Use chemicals with care promoting satisfactory handling, storage & disposal practices, and keeping outlet
concentrations at an environmentally acceptable level.
 Minimize generation of hazardous wastes and dispose them through the best, financially acceptable practices.
 Prevent oil spills occurrence by regularly auditing the installations.

13.2 TASKS
13.2.1 INFORMATION DUTIES
a) Information in case of spill
In case of oil spill, it is a MUST to advise the Plant Manager / OIM who will forward to the base and the
HSE Manager all available information on the spill (causes, times, nature, extent...).

It is an offense against the laws to try to dissimulate an oil spill caused by our self or to not report an
oil spill caused by others.

b) Information on chemicals
In line with the general effort to reduce pollution by chemicals, it is requested to maintain on site a list of
the chemicals to be used as well as the corresponding Safety Environment Data Sheets.
 13.2.2 OIL SPILL
To report oil spills is a major duty of the OIM / Offshore Operations Superintendent whatever the size and
the case.

13.2.3 OTHER OIL DISCHARGES

Main sources of other oil discharges are:
 Process discharges
 Logistic discharges
 Maintenance discharges

a) Process discharges
This concerns mainly fluids directed to the barge tanks and which are finally transferred to the onshore
facilities for further management.

b) Logistics discharges:
This concerns mainly:
. Transportation by boat
. Handling and storage of lube oil
For the rig, the policy is to minimize all discharges by way of proper engine adjustment, refueling
procedure.
Control must be achieved and ship must be stopped because of abnormal pollution.
Handling and storage of lube oil will be achieved in order to prevent leaks.
If leak detected, the content will be immediately re transferred to new containers.

c) Maintenance discharges
The main point of concern is waste oil. Maintenance of engines must be done at a suitable location, in
order to recover the waste oil, when replaced. The waste oil must be transferred to the waste oil
container for disposal ashore.

13.2.4 CHEMICAL AND LUBRICANTS

In line with the general effort launched to minimize the impact on the environment, it is requested to pay
attention to:
 Handling and storage conditions
 Proper use
 Proper disposal of expired product, if any, for all chemicals under his responsibility
 Proper disposal of spill residues and lubricant wastes.

a) Handling and storage conditions:

The general rules of handling and storage have to be used. Suitable containers must be provided, according
to transportation and storage conditions. Proper labeling will be clearly painted on top and on side of the
container.
To face a possible case of leak, empty drums are kept.

b) Proper use:
Use of chemicals will be allowed only if justified either by experience or by test. Priority will be given to
low toxicity products.
 The supplier is obliged to submit a material safety/environment data sheet giving the same information
systematically. Failure to do so especially in the case of toxic product being used would be considered as a
breach of contract.
The data sheet should contain general data concerning physical-chemical characteristics of the products
including the information necessary for the proper handling, storage and elimination of the product.
These data sheet must be filed in HSE Manager / OIM office, Hospital and in sack room.
All personnel who mix or handle chemicals must know the data sheets contain.
Uses of toxic chemicals without previous information are generally considered as a case of breach of
contract.

c) Disposal of expired product:

It is our duty to properly dispose the chemicals whose quality is no more sufficient for application. Disposal
procedures can be obtained from manufactures.
Unless duly approved it is strictly forbidden to dispose chemicals at sea.

d) Records will be kept in order to achieve a proper management of chemicals:

 Available
 Consumption of chemicals, including lubricants.
 Disposal

As a general rule, the generation of wastes, particularly hazardous wastes, must be minimized. Once
generated, a suitable disposal procedure has to be applied. All waste generated by the rig must be recorded.

a) For storing separately the metallic scrap, empty basket for site storage will be provided.
When full, the basket will be transferred to shore for disposal.

b) Disposable wastes:
Disposable wastes are considered as food produces, which are biodegradable.
They may be thrown to the sea.

c) Other solid wastes:

According to site, the remaining solid, non-burnable wastes will be disposed ashore.
