IDSMS-01 Inspection Department Safety Management System Manual

INTRODUCTION
Inspection Department has developed the following written safety management system manual to help us to achieve our safety vision: Believe in safety to finish each day incident free for the well being of ourselves, families, company and society (on and off-the-job). This written program also serves to define our safety management system, aligned with the principles of the Saudi Aramco Safety Management System Manual.

Priority of Safety and Loss Prevention


Inspection Department is committed to active safety and loss prevention as we recognize it is integral to our business activities and goals. Therefore, we will work to ensure safety is equally integrated into our management activities and given priority when in competition with other business factors. We will work to involve employees in the overall safety process, recognizing their full participation is essential to our safety success. We fully support the expectations set forth in the Saudi Aramco Loss Prevention Policy in Fig 1 below and will actively implement its provisions through our safety management system.
Saudi Aramco Loss Prevention Policy Saudi Aramco will conduct its business in a manner which prevents incidents or accidents which cause loss of life, bodily injury or illness, or damage to property, assets or the environment. As reflected in Saudi Aramcos Corporate Values, the Company will continuously maintain the highest standards of safety, security, health and environmental protection. Accordingly the Company will: Advise all employees and contractors of their loss prevention responsibilities and regularly measure their performance; Evaluate, identify and eliminate or manage safety risks prior to beginning any new operation or activity and continue to review such risks, complying with all applicable laws and regulations; Communicate loss prevention objectives and procedures regularly to employees and all affected parties; Train employees and provide resources to maintain job competencies, including loss prevention responsibility and accountability; Design and construct Company facilities utilizing recognized best technology and practices to safeguard property and people; Operate and maintain our facilities to assure safe operations; Require that contractors, suppliers, and others adhere to the Companys loss prevention policies, procedures and goals; Prepare for emergencies and other contingencies and respond promptly and effectively to any incidents or accidents resulting from operations; Report all incidents, review performance, and communicate progress; Promote off-the-job safety and community awareness and community awareness; and Review the Companys loss prevention program and performance continuously.

Our Safety Management System


The Saudi Aramco Safety Management System (SMS) Manual sets forth safety and loss prevention expectations for individual departments and managers throughout Saudi Aramco. The Inspection Department SMS Manual was developed to define Inspection Department safety management system, including key processes. This written program addresses the assessed safety risks of this department and is aligned with the eleven elements of the Saudi Aramco Safety Management System. The Eleven Elements of the Saudi Aramco Safety Management System 1. Leadership & Accountability: 2. Risk Assessment and Management: 3. Communications: 4. Competency and Training: 5. Asset Integrity: 6. Safe Operation: 7. Contractors, Suppliers, and Others: 8. Emergency Preparedness: 9. Incident Reporting and Analysis: 10. Community Awareness and Off-the-Job Safety: 11. Continuous Improvement:

1. Leadership & Accountability:


Inspection Department Manager has overall accountability for implementing the safety management system and in turn, overall safety performance. In providing visible leadership of the safety effort, the manager establishes forums to manage safety such as the Safe Operations Committee (SOC) and provides training and resources necessary to achieve the safety vision of the department. The Dhahran Area Loss Prevention Division (DHALPD) staff is available as a resource to the manager and others to assist in implementation of the safety management system and other safety goals.

IDSMS-01 Inspection Department Safety Management System Manual

Safety Responsibilities We recognize that safety is an individual responsibility as success in safety requires all personnel to fulfill their expected safety responsibilities. Fulfilling safety responsibilities is a condition of employment for company managers, supervisors and employees and a contractual obligation for contractors. Fig 2 below clearly communicates our expected and foundational safety responsibilities. Manager/Supervisor Safety Responsibilities:

Communicate safety rules and standards to all personnel; Provide appropriate resources, tools and training for employees; Award contracts using safety, health and environmental criteria; Conduct documented safety meetings; Correct unsafe conditions and acts promptly; Conduct routine safety and environmental inspections and tours; Maintain facility emergency plans and conduct regular emergency drills; Investigate injuries, spills and other incidents; Periodically review facility and employee safety performance.

Employee Safety Responsibilities:


Maintain knowledge of safety requirements including emergency response actions; Comply with rules and standards in performance of their job; Communicate safety rules and standards to contractor personnel; Participate in safety meetings; Inspect and maintain facilities in environmentally sound and safe condition; Report injuries spills, unsafe conditions and incidents immediately; Assist in incident investigations as necessary.

Contractor Responsibilities:
Ensure that their employees and their contractors are trained in SA safety rules and competent in their craft or skill; Comply with all SA rules, policies and procedures; Report injuries, spills and incidents immediately to S person-in-charge; Report unsafe conditions promptly to SA person-in-charge; Operate SA equipment only with SA approval; Hold pre-job meetings and other safety meetings during the job.

Accountability for Safe Operation of Vehicles Inspection Department places accountability for safe operations of company vehicles solely on the employee whose job requires operation of a Saudi Aramco vehicle or rental car while on company business. Inspection Department utilizes a Safe Driving Contract to establish this form of accountability. As the company vehicle is not the property of the employee, it is fair to remind him that certain safety responsibilities and adherence to rules are reasonably expected. This Safe Driving Contract, shown below in Fig 3, helps to establish accountability for safe operations of vehicles. This form is reviewed and signed by new or transferred employees to Inspection Department who are required to operate vehicles. This contract is part of the New Employee Orientation Process described below. Other communication tools and processes to influence offthe-job vehicle safety and traffic safety in general are described later in this program.

SAFE DRIVING CONTRACT Inspection Department


As an operator of company vehicles, I hereby agree to abide fully with the safety responsibilities associated with safe vehicle operation. I also agree to fully comply with established Saudi Aramco safety rules for vehicle operation and all posted traffic rules on highways and roads.

Performance Planning Process Each year, Inspection Department management will set clear loss prevention goals and objectives. The SOC will be utilized for proposal and approval of such annual performance objectives, e.g., implementation of new orientation process. Additionally, a proper mix of leading (reflects

IDSMS-01 Inspection Department Safety Management System Manual

activities) and lagging safety performance (reflects lagging failure data) indicators will be utilized to gauge organizational safety performance as discussed below. Resources As listed above in the safety responsibilities of manager, supervisor, employee, contractor, they will ensure that appropriate training, materials, and personal protective equipment is available for all employees. Additional technical resources will be requested as necessary from such groups as Area LPD staff or from other technical units. Performance Measurement Inspection Department has established processes to ensure safety performance measurement is properly applied for the organization. Additionally, proper appraisal of individual safety performance will be conducted as part of the Saudi Aramco Performance Management Process (PMP). Organizational Safety Performance A typical mix of leading and lagging indicators will be proposed and adopted annually through the SOC. Potential leading or proactive safety performance indicators are: % training completed % safety meetings completed Number of inspections (QSI) completed Ratio minor/major injuries reported

Potential lagging or reactive safety performance indicators are: Industrial disabling injury (IDI) rate Number of Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA) Property damage (Dollar value)

Individual Safety Performance - PMP All employees within Inspection Department receive annual performance appraisals via the Saudi Aramco Performance Management Process (PMP), including safety performance. Safety performance should be measured against total safety performance reflected by the safety responsibilities listed above in section 1, not just number of injuries/incidents. As these responsibilities reflect primarily proactive safety actions on the part of supervisors and employees, the following factors should be considered for individual safety performance, in order of importance:

Page 8 of 24 Printed copies of this document are uncontrolled.

Document Responsibility: Manager, Inspection Department Issue Date: 9 August 2010 Next Planned Update: 5 August 2013

IDSMS-01 Inspection Department Safety Management System Manual

1. Proactive attitude accepts safety responsibilities for self, upholds policy, % training, % meetings attended/led 2. Compliance in area observed behavioral compliance to safety rules, uphold rules in area to others 3. Correction/follow-up corrects safety items and open review items promptly 4. Housekeeping reflects safety standards maintained in area 5. Injury data rate, severity, trends, repeat injuries, ratio minor/major injuries

Employee Involvement Inspection Department recognizes the importance of employee involvement in achieving safety success. Involvement may come in many forms. Examples include: suggestions; participation in safety meetings; participation in investigations; process improvements; and education campaigns. Supervisors will strive to involve employees and utilize them as an important resource, yet not delegate direct safety responsibilities. Reward and Recognition Programs In accordance with the principles of employee reward and recognition in the SMS Manual and existing GI, Inspection Department has established a safety recognition program. This activity is also a part of continuous safety improvement discussed in section 11. The intent of the program is to recognize primarily team safety achievement and celebrate safety success. Its purpose is not to displace the other important elements of the safety program as working safely is a condition of employment within Saudi Aramco. Therefore, the annual award is an award to be earned by the entire department in recognition of an injury-free year, not a prize. The SOC will review progress and approve selection of awards for all department employees, contingent on achieving no injuries resulting in days away from work. Employees are encouraged to submit safety-related suggestions as part of the existing company innovation process. Additionally, exceptional safety initiatives by individuals or groups of employees may be selected and recognized by the SOC and Department Manager. Such initiatives must be self-initiated, contribute to significant safety gains and be verifiable in producing results. Discipline Process In Inspection Department, working safely is a condition of employment and individual safety responsibilities are well defined. Therefore, discipline as a safety training tool available to the supervisor should be rarely applied. When applied, its purpose is to achieve a desired behavior with a positive outcome, not to punish an employee for having an injury as it is too late at that point. Potential examples of where discipline may be applied include repeated failure to comply with established safety rules, failure to report injuries or incidents immediately, repeated injuries or incidents of the same kind, or horseplay. The level of disciplinary action taken will be determined

by supervision in accordance with the severity of the offense and existing Saudi Aramco policy, e.g., verbal warning, written warning, suspension, and termination.

2. Risk Assessment and Management:


There are inherent risks faced by employees and contractors in Inspection Department, even in office settings. The process of ongoing risk assessment is an integral part of our safety management system and is summarized below in Fig 4. As seen in the Standards section of the process template below, risks and management approaches will be reviewed at least annually concurrent with the review of the overall written program.
Process Name: Inspection Dept. Risk Assessment Process Number: RA-001 Process Owner: Nabil Al Dabal. ( Manager, Inspection Department) Date: Mar 08 2010 Process Scope: All department activities and locations. Process Purpose: To ensure ongoing assessment of safety risks in the department and apply sound management principles contained in Element 2 of the SMS Responsibilities: Dept. Manager appoints Safe Operations Committee (SOC) members to review team Review Team presents Annual Risk Assessment Report to full SOC for review/approval SOC makes necessary adjustments to program/safety management system LPD provides basic training in risk assessment techniques

Standards: Annual review at minimum or as determined by need Revised risks and program published by January 31 of new year

Training: Safe Operations Committee trained in basic risk assessment and management

Documentation: Annual Risk Assessment Report maintained in SOC files

Fig 4 Inspection Department Risk Assessment Process The identified safety risks for the department and personnel are associated with injury prevention and the principles of behavioral safety. In summary, they are: 1. Vehicle Safety (data indicates highest % of occupational fatalities in company) 2. Office Safety (electrocution, falls, workstation ergonomic risks identified) 3. Fall Protection (data indicates highest % of disabling injuries in company)

3. Communications:
Communicating our Safety Standards There are a variety of communication tools and processes in Inspection Department to ensure our safety standards are clearly communicated to employees and contractors in our work areas. These are further described below. Safe Operations Committee (SOC) The Inspection Department SOC is the primary communication forum for safety management direction and performance. The SOC also serves as a forum to review and decision process improvements, later to be properly communicated to all employees. The SOC meets on a regular basis and is chaired by the Department Manager. The intent of Inspection Department SOC is to be proactive in applying modern safety management principles versus a traditional reactive approach, e.g., review of incident reports. To ensure this approach, a charter is utilized for the SOC, shown in Fig 5.

Safety Films and Slogans Safety films are available from; The Audiovisual Film Library Room A-116 LIP Bldg 3150, Dhahran Phone: 872-9051 / 872-9067 Fax: 872-9073 Hours: 8:00-11:30am and 12:00-3:00pm, Saturday to Wednesday Safety Suggestions Employees are encouraged to make suggestions which they feel might enhance safety, productivity or efficiency. Suggestion forms are available for this purpose. If a suggestion is implemented, the employee will be recognized by management. Employees will receive feedback on all suggestions submitted. Education Campaigns Occasionally the company or the department individually will promote a safety education campaign for a particular risk, e.g., fire safety or fall protection safety. These are designed to costeffectively concentrate on a particular safety issue on a large scale for maximum impact as endorsed by management. Therefore, Inspection Department will participate in such education campaign as a visible supporter of such campaigns and will contribute resources as necessary.

4. Competency and Training:


Safety Training Inspection Department has established a Safety Training Matrix for required (R) and optional (O) or recommended safety training of employees, shown below in Fig 6. The SOC has developed this curriculum based on a training needs analysis with the assistance of the LPD and will review the matrix annually. As outlined above in Safety Responsibilities, it is the responsibility of each supervisor in Inspection Department to ensure his employees are properly trained in safety. It is likewise, the responsibility of each employee to apply himself to knowledge of safety issues, integral to the job. In addition to communicating the basic safety rules and information, the supervisor will review any additional required or recommended safety training an employee may need, e.g. First Aid/CPR. One specific example is Driver Improvement Training, required of any employee who operates a company vehicle. Assistance on a training curriculum or a particular course should be requested from the LPD or T&CD.

6. Safe Operation:
The Inspection Department will define the measures needed to establish and maintain operational control procedures to ensure monitoring and operating instructions are properly identified, issued and controlled. The objective is to ensure that all relevant documents necessary for proper task performance and facilities management are created and available in order to mitigate and control, to the extent possible, the Inspection Departments significant health, safety and environmental aspects.

7. Contractors, Suppliers, and Others:


Inspection Department utilizes contract employees directly in accomplishing our work activities and has other contractors typically in our work areas. Our commitment to prevention of injury among contract employees is the same as for our employees. Where we have direct influence over the selection of qualified, safe contractors, we will consider safety of a contractor company equally in the evaluation and contract award process. We will communicate our rules and standards and other safety expectations to contractors who are under our direction, including the reporting of incidents and unsafe conditions to our supervisors immediately. Each Contractor company must have a documented Safety Program.

8. Emergency Preparedness:
Inspection Department will communicate the basic emergency response plans for buildings where it is not the proponent owner, e.g., Community Services, of the building and organize (floor wardens) to execute the plan properly. Additionally, employees will participate in the emergency drills scheduled by the proponent owner. In buildings where Inspection Department is the sole proprietor of the building, an emergency plan will be developed with the assistance of FPD and Community Services including organization, resources, training and communications. A minimum of one fire and/or other type emergency drills per year will be scheduled for these structures as approved by the unit supervisor. The SOC will review the adequacy of such plans annually. Environmental Impact In accordance with the Loss Prevention Policy and related environmental policies, we are committed to minimizing environmental impact in our work activities. Environmental impact is often directly linked to a safety failure, e.g., spills or housekeeping clutter and paper, and can therefore be minimized. There are many safety issues associated with proper waste management and handling practices of the materials we utilize in our work areas such as printer cartridges or certain chemicals. In general, Inspection Department will promote a Reduce, Reuse and Recycle philosophy to minimize overall impact and waste in our work areas.

IDSMS-01 Inspection Department Safety Management System Manual

9. Incident Reporting and Analysis:


Measurement and Analysis While we will plan for safety performance as with a mix of leading and lagging performance indicators, we also need the proper reporting processes to allow analysis and improvement. Open reporting of injuries and incidents must be encouraged. The following summarizes the key Saudi Aramco processes necessary to know where we are in safety and track progress. Injury Reporting and Investigation Process reporting of all injuries, no matter how slight, followed by Supervisor investigation and corrective actions to prevent recurrence. These are reviewed for quality by next-level supervisor. Overall, the Department Manager and SOC will monitor the process for severity, trends and ratio of reported minor/major injuries as indicative of severity and open reporting Vehicle Collision Reporting and Investigation Process similar to above for all vehicle collisions, no matter how slight Near Miss Reporting and Investigation Process similar to above but with investigation by a team formed by unit supervisor and including no names of involved personnel on the form Fire Reporting Process same Report of Property Damage form required by Risk Management Division for insurance purposes for damage above $10,000

The SOC will review measured performance against input from these processes and other leading indicators to make adjustment in program direction as necessary. The LPD is available to assist with analysis and recommendations as necessary.

10. Community Awareness and Off-the-Job Safety:


Community Safety Involvement Inspection Department recognizes the importance of being a good neighbor in the communities where Saudi Aramco operates and supports campaigns to promote safety awareness in communities. Unit supervisors and employees alike are encouraged to support and participate in such campaigns, e.g. Traffic Safety. Additionally, the SOC will review proposals for more formal involvement in selected campaigns where appropriate. Off-the-Job Safety Inspection Department safety vision is to have all employees finish the day injury free. By that, we mean the 24-hour day, not just the work day. Therefore, we are committed to influencing safe behaviors of our employees and their families at home and away from work. We recognize we cannot direct an employees activities away from work, but we can consistently influence such activities in a positive manner. Often, the risks at home are very similar to those communicated at Page 17 of 24 Printed copies of this document are uncontrolled.

Document Responsibility: Manager, Inspection Department Issue Date: 9 August 2010 Next Planned Update: 5 August 2013

IDSMS-01 Inspection Department Safety Management System Manual

work and naturally influence will occur, e.g., fall protection, electrical safety. Supervisors will work to influence unsafe activities and educate employees through safety meeting topics and education campaigns. Off-the-job safety materials will be acquired from LPD, FPD and other organizations to help educate employees and their families on risks and proper precautions.

11. Continuous Improvement:


Inspection Department should never be satisfied with safety performance until injuries are totally eliminated in the workplace and off-the-job as well. This requires a commitment to continuous improvement and several tools and processes are available to the department to drive such improvement. Reward and recognition programs described earlier are one example. Other examples include, but are not limited to: safety self assessment, benchmarking of other similar organization safety programs, external safety management reviews and overall review of the existing program (safety management system). Self Assessment Inspection Department utilizes a Basic Self Assessment and/or Detailed Self Assessment checklists to review it safety programs and processes. Unit supervisors are encouraged to review these same expectations for managers to determine if improvements in individual processes or programs are necessary. Recommendations for such improvements will be forwarded to the SOC for review and approval. Benchmarking Benchmarking is the practice of comparing an existing product or performance against one of similar intent to further improvement a benchmark. Within Saudi Aramco, there are similar nonoperational organizations who can provide materials for benchmarking of their overall safety management system or certain elements or individual processes, e.g., vehicle safety. The SOC will approve and direct official benchmarking efforts but informal benchmarking and comparison by employees and supervisors is openly encouraged.

External Safety Management Reviews External reviews of our existing safety management system (program) can provide a valuable outside look at Inspection Department. Saudi Aramco Executive Management Safety Reviews produce visits to facilities to gauge safety progress and may include some of our employees. Additionally, other safety management reviews typically administered by LPD are organized to examine the safety management system in place for organizations such as our department. If examined by any of these type reviews, Inspection Department will support this effort fully with prompt responses to recommended actions, approved by the SOC.
