INTRODUCTION

 Effective safety management system is required to

prevent hazardous incidents and to eliminate and
mitigate their consequences. This presentation
emphasizes the need for application of management
control for tackling the risks associated with
handling/working with or near to hazardous substances.

 Make aware of various safety practices which needs to

be practiced and training given to all employees.

 Make aware of the various OISD standards and norms

connected with safety in a POL marketing locations.

 Identify areas of detailed training required to employees

handling hazardous substances.
SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

 Managing safety practices should cover all aspects of

the the plant and facilities to control loss of personal
equipment, material and environment

 A Objective is to follow a standardized system of

procedures which would continued to be be followed
by one and all unless a change in the system is duly
authorized by a competent person.

 OISD STD/GDN on various topics are available for

use in Oil Industry.

OISD standards / manufacturers recommendation.
 Maintenance/ inspection to be ensured on a regular basis
and documented
 Equipment data sheets should be maintained along with
history cards of various maintenance activities carried
out.

regular basis.
 Records to be maintained for every activity
undertaken.
INCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND
ANALYSIS
 Incident investigation is a critical feedback
regarding system of control of a hazard.
 All incidents including near misses must be
