Safety Philosophy Hazard Recognition

The safety philosophy of UOP is to protect its employees and those people who may be impacted by our work. The Safety Statement signed by UOPs President is just as true today as it was when the statement was written and signed in 1992. Honeywell believes in safety before production, profits or anything else. They also stress that safety is not only the right thing to do - it is expected. Management has since demonstrated its commitment to safety through its actions. Unsafe actions or conditions detected by UOP employees must be properly addressed before UOP employees are to continue with their duties. Management has supported its employees who have taken action up to and including leaving the operating area until the safety concerns have been satisfactorily addressed. One way for you to protect yourself is to be able to recognize unsafe acts and conditions. Throughout this manual is guidance regarding safe actions and conditions that must be followed. If acts of others or conditions of the work site does not follow this guidance, the site is to be informed and actions to correct the situation implemented before continuing your work. You could be subjected to unsafe conditions if the site does not have: access to information (MSDSs) regarding the chemicals and materials used at the site that you may be exposed to; proper lockout/tagout procedures for equipment that you may work on; defined emergency response plans; proper confined space entry procedures; fall protection procedures and/or equipment.

Recognition of hazards and safe working practices will be discussed later in this manual.

Site Safety
This section deals with safety concerns and situations that you may encounter at a worksite, be it a refinery, fabrication shop, or construction site. Every time you leave the office environment for business related activities, you should keep safety in the forefront of your thoughts. Each environment has unique hazards and special safety precautions. It is your responsibility to follow them, at the same time being alert for unknown hazards. Common refinery hazards include: fired heaters & boilers electrical nitrogen low pressure vacuum system air & oxygen steam water If you are unsure of a safety procedure, JUST ASK.

Contractor Safety Orientation

Although the Contractor Safety paragraph of the OSHA Process Safety Regulation (29 CFR 1910.119 (h)) is written for contractors working at processing plants, the philosophy behind the paragraph is good safety practice. Therefore, while working in non-processing areas such as fabrication shops or construction sites, awareness of good safety actions and conditions for all personnel working away from the office is supported by UOP Management. This manual includes aspects of safety and health that you may encounter while working at sites away from the office. UOP personnel who plan to visit and/or work at an operating, construction, or fabrication site must have a valid Field Safety Training card (good for 3 years), as required by OSHA and UOP . At UOP you are provided with instructions for obtaining , the appropriate training and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in preparation for working at others sites.

Power Safe Work Practices

The whole idea behind the Power Safe Work Practice is to ensure that any equipment that UOP employees may work around at anothers site cannot unexpectedly operate. The most common term used for safeguarding equipment is lockout/tagout. Electricity is the most commonly used source of power. For motors and other equipment operated by electricity, it is important to ensure that the proper breaker has been tripped off and a lock put on the breaker box. Everyone working on the equipment will need to add their own locks, which includes your locks, if necessary. This ensures that someone cannot inadvertently open the breaker box and activate the power to the equipment while you are working on said equipment. This would be like trying to fix a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink and having someone flip the disposal switch instead of a light switch while your hand is in the disposal. Other forms of power include air (pneumatic), nitrogen, or steam that can drive equipment. For these types of power sources, UOP requires that the lines from the source to the equipment be blinded and/or disconnected.

Hazard Communication
OSHA Regulation Communication of hazards is a key element to help ensure safety for any person working at an operating plant, fabricator shop, or construction site. OSHA issued the Hazardous Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), to keep workers safe on the job and guarantee all of us the right to know about all potential hazards that exist in the workplace. Facility Responsibilities The operating facilities that we visit in the USA must (and overseas should) list all the chemicals located in their facility, determine the hazards associated with each chemical, use labels on containers, and have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) available. Your Responsibilities Your HazCom responsibilities while at others sites are described below: 1. You must be familiar with the general contents of an MSDS and how to read it. Key Information you should look for includes: Identification name Manufacturers name Emergency list of hazardous ingredients Fire and explosion data Health and hazard data

2. You must be able to detect when you could be exposed to chemicals. Each chemical has a permissible exposure limit (PEL), below which it is safe to work in. If you think you could be exposed to a hazardous chemical: Ask site management for an MSDS for that chemical, Ask for personal or area monitoring data for the chemical(s), Compare the monitoring results with the MSDS PEL and verify that you will be working under safe exposure limits, Advise site management that corrective action is needed if the level exceeds the PEL. 3. You must be familiar with labels used on any containers of hazardous substances. OSHA requires that labels properly identify the container contents, show appropriate hazardous material warnings, and specify the name and address of the materials manufacturer. There are two main types of labels that exist in industrial facilities today, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS). The chart below shows how this information is conveyed:

Both systems use a 0 to 4 rating system. The higher the number is, the greater its hazard. HMIS uses colored bars, while NFPA uses colored diamonds.
7

An example of a NFPA label information is shown below: Note: Both MSDSs and labels contain a wide number and variety of terms. The HazCom Glossary which accompanies this booklet is a guide to understanding the many terms and abbreviations used.

Fire Hazards - Flash Points 4 - Below 73 0 F (230 C) 3 - Below 100 0 F (37.80 C) 2 - Above 200 0 F (93 0 C) 1 - Will not burn Health Hazards 4 - Deadly 3 - Extreme danger 2 - Hazardous 1 - Normal material Reactivity 4 - May detonate 3 - Shock or heat may cause detonation 2 - Violent chemical change 1 - Unstable if heated 0 - Stable

Precaution Symbols Flammable Explosive Corrosive Poison Specific Hazards OX - Oxidizer ACID - Acid ALK - Alkali COR - Corrosive W - Use No Water - Radiation Hazard

Respiratory Safety
Respirators Required Toxic atmosphere Hazardous dusts, mists, fumes Pre-Use Safety Check Only use the type and model you have been qualified to use. Ensure correct cartridge or filter for the specific hazard Know and understand filter/cartridge change out schedule Check all straps, seals, and face pieces for damage Conduct fit check before entering work area a) Close off the inlet opening of the canister or cartridge(s) b) Inhale gently so that the facepiece collapses slightly, and hold your breath for ten seconds c) If the facepiece remains in its slightly collapsed condition and no inward leakage of air is detected, the tightness of the respirator is considered satisfactory Check alarms on SCBAs (self contained breathing apparatus) Operation Safety Do not enter Respirator Required Areas without the proper respirator Exit area immediately if problems with breathing occur Clean & Disinfect after use and when needed Store away from light & heat Store in protective covering Store in natural position to prevent distortion A fit test shall be conducted once every 12 months and should be repeated before that if significant facial changes occur (change in weight of 10% or more, significant scarring, etc.).
9

Fire/Emergency Safety
OSHA requires employers to have a written emergency action plan if they have 10 or more employees. You should make yourself familiar with these plans when you visit others sites and follow them in case of a fire or any other emergency. You must be aware of where you are at in the facility and how to quickly evacuate. You should know other details of the emergency action plan including alarm systems, reporting procedures, and types of potential emergencies. Effective communications in an emergency situation is vital. Immediately report emergencies to site personnel.

10

Fire Extinguisher Safety

Types of Portable Fire Extinguishers Class A - Ordinary combustibles (paper, wood, rags etc.) Class B - Flammable Liquids Class C - Electrical Equipment Class D - Combustible Metals. Portable fire extinguishers for Class D hazards are required in those combustible metal working areas where combustible metal powders, flakes, shavings, or similarly sized products are generated at least once every two weeks. Class K - Kitchen fires Combination Types - ABC and BC General Principles of Fire Extinguisher Use 1. Remove extinguisher from mounting 2. Pull pin - this allows you to activate the extinguisher 3. Aim - hold hose and point at the base of the fire 4. Squeeze - the trigger mechanism to release the extinguishing agent 5. Sweep - back and forth at the base of the fire 6. Use quick short bursts - stand away from the fire -

11

Confined Spaces
Many people die in workplace confined spaces each year in the U.S. and around the world. Causes include asphyxiation, burns, electrocution, and exposure to toxic chemicals. When more than one person died in a confined space incident, more than half of the people have been would-be rescuers. Consequently, years ago, OSHA passed the Confined Space Regulation (29 CFR 1910.146). The definition of a confined space is a place where any one or more of the following exist: A worker can enter the space and perform his work The space is not designed for continuous worker occupation It is hard for a worker to enter or exit the space.

If any of the conditions noted below exist in a space, then OSHA considers it a permitted confined space, which requires testing and issuing of a permit for the space by the site management. Do not enter the confined space if the testing and permitting have not been completed. Witness or verify that the confined space you will be entering has been properly tested.

12

Hazardous Atmosphere (or Potentially Hazardous) An oxygen concentration outside the normal breathing range of 19.5% to 23.5%. An exposure to a toxic chemical above its OSHA PEL. Any chemical concentration between 10% of its lower flamability level (LFL) and its upper flamability level (UFL). Reduced visibility (e.g., burning of combustible material inside the space). Engulfment If a person could drown from a release of liquids or get buried or suffocate due to a release of solids (e.g., ash, sawdust). Entrapment If a person could become trapped in tapered-down floor. You may be considered an authorized worker in a permitted confined space. You are to follow all the permit conditions and only work when an authorized attendant is stationed outside your confined space to monitor your work conditions, which is essential to safety.

13

Common Hazardous Substances

This is a brief overview of some potential chemicals you may encounter on-site. Included are uses, characteristics, and exposure protection/consequences. This listing is by no means complete, so exercise caution and good common sense while working with anything that may be considered hazardous. If you are unsure of a potential hazardous substance, request an MSDS. H2S and O2 personal monitors are very useful to give warning signals when there is a danger. Contact your HS&E Representative to check these out.

Gas Process Hazards

* Only found in small units with direct-fired reboilers. Not usually found in licensed units. ^ Can be present in feed and product from PolySep Membrane. The process itself does not add or generate these components. The number one hazard for the PSA Unit is the moving parts (valves). Care must be taken to not adjust or work on valves while the valve is in service. There is a high risk of injury to finger, etc, if this is not followed.

18

Personal Safety
This section deals with safety concerns and situations that you may encounter at a worksite, be it a refinery, fabrication shop, or construction site. Also included are helpful hints while traveling and general reminders we all tend to forget once we leave home. For information on obtaining personal protective equipment, please contact your HS&E professional or administrative assistant. Like your parents always asked you, Did you leave your manners at home?, lets not forget to bring safety with us when we leave the office.

19

Eye Protection
Eye protection comes in different forms for different purposes. Safety glasses are required for work around all operating, construction, and fabrication sites and should comply with ANSI Z87.1. Goggles are to be used when catalyst or adsorbent fires may be present or when dusty weather conditions may exist. They are NOT a replacement for safety glasses Contact lenses are not allowed. Use prescription safety glasses.

Hard Hats
Hard hats, complying with ANSI Z89.1, are to be used at operating and construction sites. They should be worn brim-forward so that any liquid spills will be deflected away from the face area. Your hard hat should have an inside support structure which is designed to absorb the shock of a falling object. The integrity of the hat should not be compromised by punching holes for ventilation or any other reason. Bump hats are not acceptable and do not provide protection from falling objects. Note: Even if you are hardheaded, it will not protect you from personal or mechanical mishaps -- WEAR THE HARD HAT! Wear your chin strap, if provided with the hard hat, so that if you do fall, the hard hat will stay on your head.
20

Hearing Conservation
UOP strongly supports hearing conservation programs, as outlined in OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910.95. These programs are divided into two parts. hearing testing and personal protective equipment. UOP employees who work in the field are expected to participate in a hearing testing program. This testing is conducted by the UOP Medical Department. Through periodic testing, employee hearing damage, if any, can be tracked and corrective action taken to prevent further damage. The best method for retaining ones hearing is to use proper personal protective equipment when the noise levels are anticipated to exceed 85 dBa, the level established by OSHA as safe in an 8-hour time period. There are various types of hearing protection that can be worn. UOP recommends the use of earplugs that will reduce the damaging frequencies while still allowing conversations by others to be heard. Other hearing protection offered by the site may be used, as long as the fit is proper and the seal prevents a hazardous amount of noise from entering the ear. A good check to determine if you have the plugs or ear muffs tight is: If your voice seems louder to you, If you can still hear and understand the conversation around you. Early Warning Signs (Say what?): Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) Sounds are muffled Difficult to understand speach, unable to hear background noise You keep turning up the volume on the radio and television (and no longer complain your teens music is too loud). 21

Safety Shoes
Safety shoes are the best protection against foot injuries when working in operating units and construction sites. Many varieties exist depending on what you could be exposed to: Safety-toed = most commonly used and required by many clients; Nonconductive = when working around electrical sources; Rubber = when working around acids, caustics, and solvents.

Your shoes or boots must be steel-toed, include a heel, and have an oil-resistant sole. Over-the-ankle shoes are required for refinery work. The advantages of this is to protect your little piggies, prevent slips, and be able to dent inanimate objects during times of frustration. Shoes may also be used in self-defense.

22

Clothing Concerns and/or Nomex Coveralls

Loose and baggy clothing should be avoided around operating equipment (including neckties). Jewelry and watches should not be worn. Long pants and long-sleeve shirts are recommended. Nomex-type coveralls have been proven to protect persons from severe burns when exposed to a fire situation. If your work involves an operating unit, Nomex coveralls are UOP-required protection for operating plants. Fire retardant coveralls are not the same as Nomex. Special note: in order for the Nomex to work, it needs to cover the body. Rolling up your sleeves and creating cutoffs will not provide any protection. At best, it will give you a farmers tan; at worst, flash fires will cause severe burns (worse than sunburn!).

23

Lifting Materials
Wherever your assignment takes you, exercise good practice and common sense when lifting materials to avoid back injuries. Here are some lifting suggestions for your work where lifting is required: Use proper lifting techniques (see below) Dont overload boxes or other items - make multiple trips Call for help in moving large, awkward, or heavy items Place items frequently used in your work area within your reach Stretch before each lifting task to loosen muscles

Ideal Way to Lift an Object & Reduce the Risk 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Stand close to the object Stagger your feet for better balance Squat down, bending your knees Keep your stomach muscles tight maintaining the natural S curve of the back Grab the load firmly Keep the load close to your body Stand up slowly, keeping your back straight Do not twist your upper body while carrying the load. Turn with your legs or feet Set the load down slowly, bending your knees and keeping your back straight
24

Elevated Work/Fall Protection

There may be times when your work will require climbing vessels or working above grade. If your work will take you at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) above grade or a solid platform, you are required to use fall protection. Fall protection takes the form of a harness and a lanyard that will connect to a solid structure, typically above where you are working. In the event that your feet slip or a temporary work platform that you are using collapses, the lanyard and harness will prevent you from falling to the ground and receiving serious (and sometimes fatal) injuries. Fall protection harnesses and lanyards, if not furnished by the site where you are working, may be obtained from UOP Contact your HSE professional for more informa. tion and to arrange for the proper fall protection equipment.

Scaffolding
Hazards include: contact with electricity arc flash burns falling objects (both ways) faulty construction Preventing hazards, look for the following: firm foundation adequate load capacity proper construction (no missing or broken parts) If you walk or work under a scaffold, your probability of bad luck rises and odds are you may even be injured.
25

Fall Protection

Its a good idea to inspect your harness/lanyard both before and after use. Look for mildew, cuts, wear, and other damage or deterioration. If you dont know your harnesss history, look for an inspection tag or have a qualified person check the equipment out before you use it. Look for potential hazards that could cause a fall or contribute to potential injuries. Such things include personal factors such as illness, medication, lack of concentration, jet lag, and unsafe acts, as well as environmental factors like weather, poor work surfaces or conditions, and constructed obstacles. Sabotage rarely enters into falls. No one on site values you that little. So go ahead, place a high value on yourself and inspect the equipment, the environment, and your person.

26

Ladder Safety

Check the ladder for solid mounting, sure footing, corrosion, loose bolts, broken rungs, and general filthy conditions. Use the three-point contact system while climbing. That means have at least three limbs in contact with the ladder. A limb consists of a leg with foot or an arm with hand. Hooked elbows, bent kneecaps, and contorted necks do not qualify. Avoid carrying items up or down. Always face the ladder. Only 1 person on the ladder at a time. It really is okay to ask someone to hold the ladder for you. It is advisable to wear long pants and boots if you are doing any sort of climbing.

27

Travel Safety
This section will focus on various general safety tips and advice while enroute to your destination and during offhours. The key to traveling safely is to always be alert, use your best judgement, and proceed with caution into any new or unusual situation. Before departure, check the UOP Travel & Security Updates. You can also visit the Control Risk Group at www.crg-online.com.

An easy way to remember some of these travel safe tips is to use common sense and look for all potential hazards (both environmental factors and personal protection). Always be on guard and never assume you can handle any situation (an outdated macho attitude). For International Business Travel - carry your SOS card that provides healthcare and emergency services while traveling. This card will be in your FST manual handouts or you can contact your HSE Representative or Travel & Security Team.
28

Air Travel Security

Travel by commercial airliner is still one of the safest methods of transport, not only between countries but within the country. However, unexpected dangers can be minimized by following these guidelines:

Travelers should strictly limit the number of persons who will have knowledge of their travel plans. Increased security requires you to check in at least two hours prior to the scheduled departure. Get there in sufficient time to check through security and passport control. The objective is to proceed as quickly as possible through security and away from the public areas. Do not leave briefcases, laptop computers, or luggage unattended at any time. Do not take unnecessary credit cards, membership cards, or cards which identify the traveler as a military or government reservist or retiree. Stay away from windows, trash cans, and storage lockers which pose bomb related risks. Have two photocopies of the information pages of your passport and include current visas. Photocopies of your birth certificate or certificate of citizenship are also advisable. Place one copy in your checked luggage and carry the other in your briefcase. Its also a good idea to leave one back home with family and your secretary.

29

Security While Driving

Wear your seat belt! Do not get into a taxi or car without first checking to see if there are seat belts. Check the front and rear passenger areas before getting into your auto or taxi. Avoid leaving anything on the seats - secure it in the trunk. Drive with your doors locked. Open windows only enough for sufficient air ventilation. Know how to get to your destination. Study the route beforehand (on a good map) and identify alternate routes. When you park your auto, always lock the doors and trunk. When you return to the vehicle, inspect the backseat, all locks, and the area surrounding and underneath the auto for signs of interference. Avoid traveling alone during the late, dark hours. Wherever possible, arrange to travel in groups. Should there be positive indications that your auto is being followed, do not stop until: a. You are in sight of a police officer, b. At a police station or army barracks, c. At a crowded shopping center, etc.

30

Security While in Hotels

When registering, avoid using position titles which indicate a level of importance. If necessary, use a common functional title. Avoid rooms which are accessible from ground level or adjacent balconies. If possible, try to obtain rooms on the third through sixth floors. These can be reached by emergency equipment. Make a complete check of the room each time you enter. Do not open the door for callers before you have fully identified them. If in doubt, call the reception desk. Check for the emergency exit nearest to your room. Count the number of doors between your room and the exit. If you need to evacuate using a stairway, use the inside railing. Do not leave valuables or sensitive documents in your hotel room unattended. Use the hotel safe or local UOP and/or affiliate office, if available. Carry envelopes for this purpose. Do not permit Housekeeping to clean your room while you are in it. They usually leave the door open. Go to the lobby or other public area while the room is being cleaned. Familiarize yourself with hotel fire emergency procedures and escape routes.

31

Medical Tips
A Broad Overview Pre-Departure Planning
If you are planning to visit a foreign site, be sure to visit the Medical Department in order to review your immunizations and be aware of any current health concerns of the locale. Keep in mind that you may contract a Post Travel Illness.

Food & Beverages

Avoid drinking tap water. Do not use ice. NEVER brush your teeth with tap water. Avoid raw or undercooked foods. Eat hot foods and limit fruit to the peelable kind. Dont buy food from street vendors. Always wash your hands with soap and water before eating.

Medical Help
Carry a medical kit with you. Make sure that your personal medical information card is up-to-date.

32

Bed Bugs
How to avoid them in hotels
Inspect the following thoroughly for signs of bed bugs when you first arrive in a room. Bedding (especially near any attached type of bed headboard) Luggage holding rack Night stands by any bed (remember to check underneath and inside drawers if possible) Closet shelves Dresser drawers Along carpet edges under and near (e.g., within about 5 feet of) any bed.

Report any evidence of bed bugs to the management immediately for their corrective actions. Just moving to a different room may not be the total answer. You should repeat the thorough inspection of any new or different room you are offered. When you pack to leave, inspect your luggage carefully first, and inspect every item as you pack to help detect any bugs or their signs. Laundering most cloth items with typical hot water and detergent followed by drying on low heat for at least 20 minutes (or standard dry cleaning) should kill all bed bugs in or on such items. Sealing freshly-laundered items inside a plastic bag should help keep any more bed bugs from getting in those items later to hide (and be carried back with you). Initially detecting and then excluding the bugs is

usually the best strategy.

Insects (Flying Bugs)

Avoiding Bites (less obvious)

1. Wear socks, shoes, pants, and long sleeve shirts

2. Use insect repellant with DEET, reapply often 3. Avoid perfumed soap and deodorants 4. Keep clear of slow (or non) moving water
33

Exposure to Heat
Influencing Factors: 1. High ambient temperature reduces the bodys ability to lose heat by radiation 2. High relative humidity reduces the bodys ability to lose heat through evaporation 3. Exercise and activitycan lose more than 1 liter of sweat per hour 4. Age (very old/very young) 5. Preexisting illness and/or conditions 6. Certain drugs/medications Signs and Symptoms 1. Skin may be pale, cool, and wet, or red, dry, and hot 2. Muscular cramps 3. Weakness or exhaustion 4. Dizziness or faintness 5. Rapid heart rate 6. Decreased level of responsiveness Action to Take 1. Remove the person from the hot environment and place in a cool environment (air conditioned) 2. Apply cool packs or wet towels/sheets to the persons neck, groin, and armpits 3. Cool person by fanning (may be ineffective in high humidity) 4. Place in recovery position

34

Jet Lag
Minimizing 1. Drink lots of water, avoid alcohol, and use caffeine strategically 2. Adjust your diet 3. Exercise moderately 4. Use relaxation techniques and napping.

Head Colds
If you really must fly, try using a decongestant or nasal spray before taking off and landing. Although, if you have a fever, earache, or sinus pain, go get a medical excuse.

Travelers Diarrhea
It is advisable to treat the diarrhea, but not to prevent it. Begin replacing fluids with purified water to avoid dehydration. Stick to bland foods and try frequent small meals. Good advice: carry soft toilet paper and stay within safe running distance to a bathroom.
35

DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)

DVT is known as deep vein thrombosis and has been associated with prolonged immobility such as commercial flying. The results are blood clots that can break loose and move to vital organs. To reduce the risk of developing DVT, drink plenty of fluids,wear loose fitting clothing, walk, and stretch every so often.

Flying Exercises
Flex your knee (one at a time) by lifting toward your chest and bending at the same time. Try staightening your knee (one at a time). Try simulating exaggerated walking while sitting on the plane (toe up, heel down then reverse).
