SAFETY:
We impart safety awareness to our technicians through safety classes.
All will be aware of the materials they are handling and the risk
factors involved in the storage and usage. M.S.D.S. will be always
displayed at the material storage places.
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment’s) will be always used at job
sites and workshops.
Good ventilation, clean working area, proper disposal of used
materials and supplies are always on priority list. Good house-
keeping is a must to our team.
Apart from the PPE special safety equipment’s will be insisted upon
depending on the site requirement.
Fire extinguisher will be always kept at material storage places.
The following requisites and will be taken care of for a quality and perfect
job.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Excellent adhesion of fiberglass repair / lining is dependent on
surface preparation. The surfaces to be repaired or lined should be properly
prepared. Grinding the surface area prior to fiberglass application is well
recommended. Uneven surface should be leveled by resin putty application.
It must be cleaned and free from foreign materials such as oil, wax, dirt, etc.
Flanges to be replaced will be cut from the line and the new flange will be
joined by using butt and wrap joints procedures, where both ends of the
flange and pipe to be joined will be cut on V shape prior to fiberglass
application.
FIBERGLASS APPLICATION:
After ensuring that the surface is ready for repair/lining, catalyzed
resin primer is applied on the surface. A layer of CSM 450, chopped strand
mat is laid on the surface. A resin mixed with catalyst is applied evenly by
lamb wool roller or by brush. Special care has to be taken in averting over
situation. This step has to be followed by application of aluminum roller to
removed trapped air bubbles and obtain flat even surface. Tools used must
be cleaned to avoid contaminating the laminate. Visual inspection is very
important during this application especially on corner areas wherein air
trapped bubbles are always present and to ensure that all fiberglass
reinforcement are properly saturated oriented to avoid bulging on the
laminated surface. After inspection, catalyzed resin is applied on the surface
and a second layer of oven Roving 600 is laid on the surface and saturated
with catalyzed resin. Again, repeat the same procedure on the first layer, a
third layer of CSM 450 will follow, repeating the same procedures as before
until the required thickness is achieved. Finally, a top layer of surface mat
will be applied to protect the laminate using the same version of resin. This
will be applied to protect the laminate using resin mixed with paraffin wax.
The following are the categorized application procedure for fiberglass lining
on flat surface & fiberglass lining for joining the pipes and fittings.
The pipe end will be cut properly and the edge will be made thin by grinder
application. V' cut will be made on the pipe ends in such a manner to maintain
the gap between the pipe ends to a maximum of 6mm when joined together. The
face of the pipes will be cleaned and coated with resin.
Further, the gap will be fil1ed with catalyzed resin putty and excess of putty
will be removed.
Movement of pipe during pipe joining will be prevented by blocking the
pipes with straps and applying hot patches on certain parts until the actual joint
is made.
The width and thickness of the patch will be determined according to the
diameter of the pipe and depending upon the service pressure.
Further the surface will be coated with catalyzed resin. The first layer of mat
will be laid, maintaining narrowest width, using lamb-wool roller or paint brush.
The required thickness will be maintained by putting
fiberglassreinforcements one above the other. The sequence of CSM & WR will be
determined according to the requirements.
While laying the width of the adjacent layers will increase gradually. The air
bubbles will be removed by serrated aluminum rollers. Sufficient time interval
will be given for the isotherm.
While applying the following sequence will be ensured and further grinder
application and cleaning will be done.
Reinforcement will be maintained as much as continuous and the overlaps
will be properly oriented to avoid bulging.
After building up the required thickness and after the laminate ooled, final
coating will be applied using catalyzed resin mixed with paraffin wax to seal off
the laminate.
All the above steps will be under th supervision of qualified team leader and
the jobs will be carded'. out by skilled fiberglass technicians of proven ability.
YANSAB inspection team will be informed for each repair/installation the
final curing team for each job
Further, it is needless to mention the fact that the selection of the right
people for the right job is a basic requisite of all the jobs. For every job we
deploy the right skilled persons having proven ability and experience in
similar jobs. Supervisors deployed will have accurate and scientific judgment
about the job they are handling.

Hazard identification: process of recognizing that a hazard exists and defining
its Characteristics.
Risk Assessment: it is the technique of evaluating not just the likelihood of an
event occurring, but also what the outcome will be in terms of injury, loss
damage or harm.
5. PROCEDURE
a. This procedure regulates the responsibilities and actions to be taken with
regards to perform, systematically, work place Hazard Identification & Risk
Assessments. Following are the steps for performing Hazard Identification &
Risk Assessments;
d. All applicable local authorities Approvals, Licenses, and Permits for Risk
assessments shall be identified. Local regulatory requirements on Risk
assessments shall be included in the relevant management system(s)
procedures and shall be complied. (Reference document # Legal
Requirements identification and Compliance Evaluation Procedure (SOC- HSP-
02).
f. The level and extent of derail of the risk assessment process will be
proportionate to the risk i.e. the higher the risk, the greater the derail.
Chemical Hazard: Hazards are associated with those solids, liquids, gases,
fumes...etc. The potential to cause inquiry or hard to those exposed.
Biological Hazard: Hazards are more specialized but include moulds, fungus,
spores…etc. (legionella, wails, disease…)
Ergonomics Hazard: hazards are the potential to harm due to poor work place
design. The consideration of the man/machine interface e.g. computer
workstations, lifting and handling, slipping and tripping…etc.
h. EVALUATION OF THE RISK: After the hazards have been identified by the
working group, judgment on task will be made based on knowledge and
experience of the activities within the work place. They identify relative
importance of the risk by determining:
i. Identified risks shall be evaluated as per the evaluation criteria given below
and results shall be documented in Hazard Identification and Risk
Assessment Form (SOC-HSF-001).
PROBABILITY
R = S X P L(1) M(2) H(3)
SEVERITY
H(3) 3 6 9
M(2) 2 4 6
L(1) 1 2 3
RISK (R = S X P) DESCRIPTION ACTION
3‐4 MEDIUM Risk requires planned approach to control the hazard. Action
taken must be documented in Hazard Identification and Risk
Assessment Form (SOE‐HSF‐001/1)
j. DETERMINATION OF CONTROLS
The risk control process starts by considering the highest ranked risks, working
down to the least significant. Each risk should be examined having regard to the
"hierarchy of controls". This provides a method of systematically evaluating each
risk to determine, firstly, if the causal hazard can be eliminated and otherwise, to
find the most effective control method for each risk.
Both Elimination and Substitution control the hazard itself. They are, therefore,
more effective in reducing risk than controls which reduce exposure and which
therefore do not reduce the hazard itself (such as modification or isolation).
At all times, is the use of safe work practices. This should include the use of written
procedures to indicate:
How tasks are to be undertaken;
Who is permitted in the work area;
What the requirements for operating different types of equipment are;
Operator competencies; and
Any training and supervision needed.
Documenting risk control: The risk control process should be fully documented
and these records kept with other relevant risk management records.
k. Upon taking the risk control measures the severity and/or probability of the risk
involved will be reduced thereby the risk level will be minimized. The residual risk
that would exist if all control measures are implemented, is assessed using the Risk
Rating Table (5.9.2.1.) and is recorded on Hazard Identification and Risk
Assessment Form (SOC-HSF-001). The severity and probability of the residual risk
are assessed but not recorded.
l. Client’s safety requirements, guidelines and legal requirements shall be taken into
consideration to finalize the control measures. SOE HSE department maintains the
safety procedures / guidelines of main Clients for reference.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE) PROGRAM
REVIEWED BY:
APPROVED BY:
1. Policy
It is the individual responsibility of all personnel on SOC. Locations and facilities to dress in a
manner that ensures personal safety, which includes wearing and taking care of the
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
The Company will provide the appropriate PPE and Training to all Company Personnel.
2. Scope
3. Purpose
To ensure that all personnel are adequately protected from environmental elements and
relevant work place hazards where it is not practical to reduce relevant exposure to
acceptable levels by using engineering control or practices.
4. Responsibilities
Safety Manager Conduct JSA then determine the needed PPE quality and quantities
The store keeper issue the PPE according a request signed from the safety manager
5. Procedure
Training needs to cover both theory and practice on the PPE for special PPE
Employee informs his supervisor to get a new PPE in case of wear or tear.
Head Protection:
Prevention of head injuries is an important factor in every safety program. Head injuries are
caused by falling or flying objects, or by bumping the head against a fixed object.
Resist penetration;
Absorb the shock of the blow.
This is accomplished by making the shell of the hat of a material hard enough to resist the
blow, and by utilizing a shock-absorbing lining composed of headband and crown straps to
keep the shell away from the wearer’s skull.
SUITABLE SELECTIONS:
CLASS B OR E FOR PEOPLE WHO IS WORKING WITH HIGH VOLTAGE ANSI Z 89.2
a. All personnel will wear approved safety glasses complete with side shields when
working at the worksite locations and or workshops except in designated areas
approved by the YANSAB. These areas will be clearly marked to indicate that safety
glasses are not required in this area.
b. Safety Goggles will be worn during any activity such as chipping, grinding,
hammering, changing tong dies, etc. which may result in a foreign body in the eye.
c. The wearing of contact lenses is permitted except in areas of dust and fumes, when
wearing breathing apparatus or by people performing or assisting with welding
operations.
d. Eye wash stations will be strategically positioned inside each unit.
e. Safety Goggles or a face Shield will be worn when handling corrosive/harmful
products.
f. A welding shield with hardhat combined, will be used when performing arc welding ( if
any).
g. Shaded goggles will be used for oxy-acetylene cutting.
h. Prescription safety glasses will have approved side shields securely fitted or
permanently attached side shields.
Foot Protection:
Statistics showed that most of the workers in selected occupations who suffered foot injuries
were not wearing protective foot-ware.
For protection of feet and legs from falling or rolling objects, sharp objects, molten metal, hot
surfaces, and wet slippery surfaces, workers should use appropriate foot guards, safety
shoes, or boots.
Safety shoes should be sturdy and have an anti-resistant toe. In some shoes, metal insoles
protect against puncture wounds.
Employees are required to use appropriate hand protection when their hands are exposed to
hazards such as:
Gloves made from a wide variety of materials are designed for virtually every workplace
hazard. They may be divided into four groups:
Sturdy gloves made from metal mesh, leather, or canvas provide protection against cuts,
burns, and sustained heat.
Leather gloves. Leather gloves protect against sparks, moderate heat, blows,
chips, and rough objects. Welders in particular need the durability of higher-
quality leather gloves.
Aluminized gloves. These gloves usually are used for welding, furnace, and
foundry work because they provide reflective and insulating protection against
heat. Aluminized gloves require an insert made of synthetic materials that
protect against heat and cold.
Aramid fiber gloves. Aramid is a synthetic material that protects against heat
and cold. Many glove manufacturers use aramid fiber to make gloves that are
cut-and abrasive-resistant and wear well.
Other synthetic materials. Several manufacturers make gloves with other
synthetic fabrics that offer protection against heat and cold.
2- Fabric and Coated Fabric Gloves:
These gloves are made of cotton or other fabric to provide varying degrees of protection.
Fabric gloves. These gloves can protect against dirt, slivers, chafing, and
abrasion. These gloves do not provide sufficient protection, however, to be
used with rough, sharp, or heavy materials.
Coated fabric gloves. Manufacturers normally make these gloves from cotton
flannel with napping on one side. By coating the unsnapped side with plastic,
fabric gloves are transformed into general-purpose hand protection offering
slip-resistant qualities. These gloves are used for tasks ranging from handling
bricks and wire rope to handling chemical containers in laboratory operations.
Gloves made of rubber (latex, nitrile, or butyl), plastic, or synthetic rubber-like material such
as neoprene protect workers from burns, irritation, and dermatitis caused by contact with oils,
greases, solvents, and other chemicals. The use of rubber gloves also reduces the risk of
exposure to blood and other potentially infectious substances. Some common gloves used
for chemical protection are described below. (In addition, table 4 rates various gloves as
protectors against specific chemicals.)
Butyl rubber gloves. These gloves protect against nitric acid, sulfuric acid,
hydrofluoric acid, red fuming nitric acid, and peroxides. Highly impermeable
to gases, chemicals, and water vapor, butyl rubber gloves also resist
oxidation and ozone corrosion. In addition, they resist abrasion and remain
flexible at low temperature.
Natural latex or rubber gloves. In addition to resisting abrasions caused by
sandblasting, grinding, and polishing, these gloves protect workers hands
from most water solutions of acids, alkalis, salts, and ketones.
Neoprene Gloves. These gloves have good pliability, finger dexterity, high
density, and tear resistance which protect against hydraulic fluids, gasoline,
alcohols, organic acids, and alkalis.
Nitrile rubber gloves. These sturdy gloves provide protection from
chlorinated solvents such as tri chloroethylene and per chloroethylene. In
addition, nitrile gloves resist abrasions, punctures, snags, and tears.
The air-purifying devices clean the contaminated atmosphere. Chemicals can be used to
remove specific gases and vapors and mechanical filters can remove particulate matters.
This type of respirator is limited in its use to those environments where the air contaminant
level is within the specified concentration limitation of the device. These devices do not
protect against oxygen deficiency (percentage of oxygen by volume is less than 19.5 percent
oxygen).
Mechanical-filter cartridge
Chemical-cartridge
Combination mechanical-filter/chemical-cartridge
Gas Masks
Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPR)
2- Air-supplying Devices:
Air-supplying devices are the class of respirators that provide a respirable atmosphere to the
wearer, independent of the ambient air. Air-supplying respirators fall into three groups:
Supplied-air respirators
Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
Combination-SCBA and supplied-air respirators
This respirator is designed for use for particles such as those from grinding, sanding,
sweeping, sawing, bagging, or other dusty operations.
Proper Selection:
Respirators shall be selected on the basis of hazards to which the worker is exposed. In
selecting the correct respirator for a given circumstance, many factors must be taken into
consideration:
In order to make subsequent decisions, the nature of the hazard must be identified to ensure
that an overexposure does not occur.
One very important factor to consider is oxygen deficiency. Air-purifying respirators can be
used only at atmospheres containing greater than 19.5 percent oxygen.
The user must be instructed and trained in the selection, use and maintenance of respirators.
Every respirator user shall receive fitting instructions including demonstrations and practice in
how the respirator should be worn, how to adjust it, and how to determine if it fits properly.
Fit Testing:
Fit testing is done to find both a style and a size of respirator that fits the individual best and
is most comfortable. There are two types of fit testing: Quantitative fit testing and qualitative
fit testing.
Field Testing:
Once the fit test has been performed and a respirator selected, the user should perform “field
tests” on his respirator each time before entering the toxic atmosphere. These consist of both
a negative-pressure test and a positive-pressure test.
Negative-Pressure Test:
In this test, the user closes off the inlet of the canister, cartridge(s), or filter(s) by covering
with palm(s) or squeezing the breathing tube; inhales gently so that the face piece collapses
slightly; and holds the breath for about 10 seconds. If the face piece remains slightly
collapsed and no inward leakage is detected, the respirator is probably tight enough.
Positive-Pressure Test:
The positive-pressure test is conducted by closing off the exhalation valve and exhaling
gently into the face piece. The fit is considered satisfactory if slight positive pressure can be
built up inside the face piece without any evidence of outward leakage.
Hearing Protection:
Exposure to high noise levels (more than 90 decibel) can cause hearing loss or impairment. It
can create physical and psychological stress. There is no cure for noise-induced hearing
loss, so the prevention of excessive noise exposure is the only way to avoid hearing damage.
OSHA identifies 90 decibels based on an eight-hour time weighted average (TWA) as the
absolute “safe” level of noise exposure. 85 dB is considered as the action level.
8 hour 90 dB
4 hour 95 dB
2 hour 100 dB
1 hour 105 dB
½ hour 110 dB
¼ hour 115 dB
Hearing protectors shall be made available and shall be worn by all employees exposed to
an 8-hour TWA of 85 dB or greater.
1. Ear Muffs
2. Ear Plugs
3. Ear Canal
Hearing protectors will always have an assigned Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) which should
be printed on the packaging of each hearing protector.
NRR is the amount of decibels by which a given device will reduce noise exposure, by
subtracting the NRR value from the noise exposure levels.
6. Recordkeeping

A medicinal product
Extraneous articles - articles placed in a waste container not covered by the description
of waste cited on the waste transfer note.
Hazardous Waste Consignment Note and Controlled Waste Transfer Note - The
regulations require that all producers, transporters and receivers of waste must
complete, sign and keep a transfer note that contains an accurate description of the
waste to enable the contractor to handle the waste correctly and lawfully. There is an
additional regulatory requirement to keep a copy of the description of the waste that is
transferred for a period of 3 years.
Responsibilities
The General Manager / Project Manager are ultimately responsible for ensuring
that waste is managed in accordance with legislative requirements.
The Waste Manager is responsible for arranging the disposal of redundant equipment
in accordance with the provisions of this procedure.
Contractors have a responsibility to ensure that all waste they produce during their
activities on the Organisation’s sites is managed safely and in accordance with
legislative requirements.
It is the responsibility of all employees to segregate and store waste in the appropriate
containers at designated areas.
Procedures
Waste Production
Waste produced by routine office activities shall be minimised through re-use and
recycling wherever practicable.
Items classified as waste will be handled with a duty of care in accordance with
legislative requirements.
All waste will be stored in a safe and secure manner pending collection by third
party contractors for recovery, recycling or disposal.
Liquid wastes shall be stored in containers appropriate for the properties of the
waste. Such containers will be stored in a suitably bunded area.
At locations where provision is made for the segregation of waste for recycling
the containers will be clearly and appropriately labelled.
Waste produced on site by the Organisation, will only be transported off site by a
registered waste carrier. A copy of the waste carrier’s valid registration certificate must be
obtained. Historical records of waste transfer should be retained for three years.
Copies of valid waste management licenses for the final destination of all wastes shall be
maintained on sites and records retained for three years.
Controlled waste will be segregated at source, into wastes requiring disposal and those
for which recycling has been arranged. An estimate of the weekly volume of waste for off-
site disposal/recycling will be recorded. The estimate will be based on a visual
examination of the quantity of waste in waste storage containers prior to their removal off-
site.
Containers will be inspected for extraneous articles within at least 24 hours before
collection, where possible and practical. Extraneous articles will only be removed where it
has been identified that it is safe to do so.
All waste transferred off-site will be accompanied by a waste transfer note, completed and
containing information in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements and codes
of practice. For regular collections from the same source, a ‘season ticket’ may be used to
cover all such transfers during a period not exceeding 12 months. Copies of waste transfer
notes will be available at all times and retained for three years.
Audit trail
An Audit Trail of waste production, storage and disposal will be completed on a
periodic basis to establish regulatory compliance in line with the Duty of Care
requirements.
