9. Permit to Work
The Work Permit System incorporates procedures, commonly used in industrial facilities
to ensure that necessary communication takes place and hazards are controlled.
CUSTOMER’s restricted areas are potentially hazardous. However, knowledgeable
people using proper procedures can perform work tasks efficiently and safely. The
CUSTOMER work permit procedure is important in maintaining a safe work environment
and is a requirement for all CUSTOMER jobs in restricted areas.
9.1 Definitions
9.1.1 Restricted Areas

Restricted areas are those areas or activities which have been
designated by department managers as requiring the work permit system.
These include (but are not limited to) all areas where hydrocarbons,
flammable liquids or gases, or oxidizing agents are handled, stored,
piped, or processed in significant quantities; and critical non-hydrocarbon
operations.
The following are examples of restricted areas: petroleum processing

plants; pump stations; tank farms; loading piers; hydrocarbon pipelines;
oil wells; gas plants: specified locations on marine vessels; gasoline
service stations; areas where explosives and industrial X-ray or
CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
radioactive materials are used or stored; work areas under or near power
lines; confined space entry; and material supply storage areas.
9.1.2 Issuance and Approval
The authorized receiver (authorized craftsman) must request a work

permit from a certified issuer (operation supervisor) before doing any
work in a restricted area.
The issuer will grant the work permit after he has visited the site with the
receiver, review the hazards applicable to the particular job, and is
satisfied that the work can be done safely. If the work contemplated
involves any change, addition, or deletion in the facility, the work should
be reviewed by an engineer and appropriate authorization is necessary.
Both the issuer and the receiver must hold valid work permit certificates
issued by CUSTOMER.
9.1.3 Precautions
• Checklist
Each permit contains a checklist of precautions against common
hazards. Such a list cannot include precautions against all hazards. It
is the duty of both the issuer and the receiver to review the job,
anticipate what hazards might arise, check for flammable gases in the
area and see that proper precautions have been specified on the
permit before it is signed.
• Clear Area
One specific precaution applying to all work is to clear the area of
people not required for the job to avoid their being exposed to
unnecessary hazards. If people enter an area where they could be
exposed to undue danger, the work should be stopped until they are
cleared from the area.
• Work Stoppage
If conditions change or become unsafe during the course of work, the
issuer or local supervisor may stop the work and cancel the permit.
The receiver has the responsibility to stop the work and advise the
issuer or supervisor any time he feels the HSE of the job does not
meet the conditions of the work permit.

10.8.2 Snakebite
Treatment of Snakebite (first make sure that no further bites
can occur.)
• The victim must lie down and remain in this position. Reassure
them to keep him calm. Arrange treatment as soon as
possible.
• The bitten area should be carefully washed to prevent tetanus.
• Do not cut, do not suck with your mouth,
• Correctly apply an elastic bandage to snakebite. The method
of Dr S.K. Sutherland, of Australia should be used. This
requires the application of a tight bandage completely around
the affected limb (along its entire length). Proper bandaging
reduces the speed that venom spreads. However, an
improperly applied elastic bandage may become a tourniquet
and cause the loss of a limb so do not apply a tourniquet.
• Immobilise the limb with a splint as well, and maintain the victim
in a horizontal position.

Factors Contributing To Fires

To eliminate chances of fire, its causes must be identified .The most
common ones are summarized below:
CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
• Electrical Safety
This is a leading cause of fire. Most electrical fire start in wiring
and motors, and can be prevented by proper maintenance.
Special attention is needed for equipment in hazardous processes
and in storage area.
• Sabotage
This covers fires maliciously set by intruders juveniles, disgruntled
employees, and arsonists. Watch and guard services; installed
fences and other security measure can prevent them.
• Smoking
Smoking must be strictly prohibited in storage area. It can be
permitted in clearly designated safe areas only.
• Friction
Hot bearing, mis-aligned or broken machine parts and poor
adjustment of power drives can result to fire due to friction. This
can be prevented by a regular inspections, maintenance and
lubrication.
• Cutting & Welding

Sparks, arcs and hot metal from cutting & welding operation are a
potential source of fire; work permit & other precautions can be
used for prevention.
• Burner Flame
Improper use of portable torches, dryers, ovens, portable heating
units and burners can cause fire and can be prevented by proper
design, operation and maintenance.
• Exposure
These are fires spreading from nearby properties. Blank walls
furnish the most effective barriers. Protect wall openings with open
sprinklers or wired glass, depending on the severity of exposure.
• Combustion Sparks
Sparks and embers, released from incinerators, furnaces,
fireboxes, various process equipment, and industrial trucks can
cause fires. Use well designed equipment and well-enclosed
combustion chambers with spark arresters, as needed.
CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
• Mechanical Sparks
Sparks from foreign metal in machines can result in fires. These
can be prevented by keeping stock clean; removing foreign
material by magnetic or other separators.
• Static Sparks
Ignition of flammable processes getting out of control, chemicals
reacting with other materials, and decomposition of unstable
chemicals can cause fires. These can be prevented by proper
operation, instrumentation and controls; and by careful handling
and storage, particularly avoiding conditions of heat and shock.
• Lightening
Direct lightening strokes, sparks from one object to another
induced by nearby lightning stroke, and induced surges in circuits
and electrical equipment due to lightening can cause fires. These
can be prevented by the use of lightening rods, arresters, surge
capacitors, and grounding. Unusual causes and relatively
unimportant causes not included in the other classifications.
• Smoking policy
Smoking and carrying of “strike anywhere” matches, lighters, and
other spark-producing devices must not be permitted in storage
tanks areas. The size of the restricted area will depend on the
type of products handled, the design of the building, and local
conditions.
Suitable “NO SMOKING” signs shall be posted conspicuously in
buildings and areas where smoking is prohibited.
• Smoking And It’s Restrictions

Carelessly discarded cigarettes, pipe embers, and cigars are a
major source of fire. Smoking must be prohibited, especially in
places where flammable liquids or combustible products are
manufactured, stored, or used.
• No Smoking” Area
“No smoking” areas shall be marked with prominent signs and
everyone, including Area Incharges and visitors, must adhere to
the regulation. It may be necessary to use more than one signs to
draw attention to the “NO SMOKING” areas. Adhesive stickers
shall be placed on containers, storage cabinets, or doors to areas
where there is danger of fire or explosion.

CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
• Smoking Material
Employees are prohibited from carrying matches, lighters, and
smoking material of any kind into the danger areas. Smoking must
be allowed only in fire-safe areas. Employees shall be encouraged
to discard matches and smoking materials in a safe container
rather than on the floor. This practice will discourage employees
from throwing match and cigarettes into places which may not be
free of hazards.
Note : For every major activity, hazard analysis and control sheets will be
prepared, encompassing description of work, identification of
hazards, their ranking in terms of probability and severity and
control measures. Some of such sheets already prepared are
attached as sample while the rest are under preparation. See Part

8. Noise
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to outline the hazards associated with noise and
the preventative measures that are to be taken to reduce risk to health.
8.2 Scope
The procedure covers all areas where the work is being carried out and includes
consideration for adjacent population areas.
8.3 Definition
8.3.1 Noise is defined as unwanted sound, which at certain volume levels may
cause irreparable damage to hearing.
8.3.2 Frequency is the pitch measured in Hertz, calculated from the rate of
pressure fluctuations of sound waves.
8.3.3 dB refers to a unit of sound pressure fed into an electronic weighting

network which provides an approximate sound level calculated over the
total frequencies.
CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
8.3.4 dB (A) refers to the characteristics of sound which are filtered to replicate
the noise heard by the human ear.
8.3.5 Attenuation is the reduction of noise achieved by hearing protection, each

type of ear protector should have attenuation table which illustrate the
noise reduction at different frequencies, e.g. 30 dB(A) at 5,000 Hz.
8.4 Reference And Guidelines
8.4.1 Introduction
• The phenomena of noise induced hearing loss has only, relatively

speaking, been recently analysed and understood. The causation
factors of working in industries where high levels of noise are
generated are now clearly understood, and the long term
consequences created from working in such high risk
environments placing greater levels of care on employing
companies.
• The physiological damage of working in environments where high

levels of noise exists, can be simply explained as the damage
caused to the fine hairs in the Cochlea, part of the hearing
mechanism sited in the inner ear. These hairs are joined to nerves
transmitting the sensation of hearing to the brain, prolonged
exposure to high levels of noise will result in auditory fatigue and
eventual failure of function for those fine hairs. This may result in
temporary deafness called a ‘ Temporary Threshold Shift’ or
permanent deafness which includes the occupational illness of
‘Noise Induced Hearing Loss’.
Managing Contractor and Descon site management.
• Supervision when planning the work shall take into account the
anticipated ‘ noise levels that persons under their control may be
exposed to.
• Where any concerns exist, shall consult with the HSE department
and arrange for noise analysis to take place.
• Will provide adequate and suitable hearing protection for the work
being performed, recognising the attenuation factors of the
different ear protectors.

CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
8.4.3 HSE Department

• Shall advise on the procurement of hearing protection.
• Shall carry out noise assessments where and when necessary,

and produce noise contour maps with octave band frequencies
analysed.
• Shall ensure that the appropriate signs are displayed for areas
where high levels of noise exit.
• Prepare toolbox talks and other training material for briefing the
workforce.
8.4.4 Instructions
• The action point for noise on the PROJECT is 85 dB(A), noise
levels 85 dB(A) and over will require the provision of signs,
mandatory hearing protection and an analysis of the noise
emissions.
• The maximum noise levels to which anyone may be exposed to

are 115 dB(A) continuous and 135 dB(A) impulse or short
duration. This includes personnel wearing hearing protection.
• Instances where personnel are exposed to high levels of noise will

require screening to assess if any impairment has occurred.
• In areas where noise may interfere with communications, suitable

alternative arrangements shall be in place for alerting the work
parties in the event of an emergency.

4. Heat Stress
4.1 General
4.1.1 Heat stress is usually the result of work being performed at elevated
temperatures. Contributory factors may also include a decrease of natural
body ventilation by protective clothing e.g. chemical & impervious suits.
4.1.2 Note: If the body’s physiological processes fail to maintain a normal

body temperature because of excessive heat, a number of physical
reactions can occur ranging from mild (such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety,
and decreased concentration, dexterity, or movement) to fatal, because
heat stress is one of the most common and potentially serious illnesses
that Construction workers encounter; in areas where high temperatures
are normally encountered, regular monitoring and other preventative
measures are vital.
It is the responsibility of the line management to ensure that personnel under

their control are educated in recognising and understanding the treatment for the
various forms of heat stress, and that supervisor actively monitoring the work
force for signs and symptoms of heat stress.

CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
4.4 Types of Heat Stress
4.4.1 Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is an acute and dangerous reaction to heat stress caused by

a failure of the heat regulating mechanisms of the body, e.g. a breakdown
of the employee’s temperature control system that causes sweating. Body
temperature rises so high that brain damage and death will result if the
person is not cooled quickly.
• Symptoms
Red, hot, dry skin, although the person may have been sweating
earlier; nausea; dizziness; confusion; extremely high blood
pressure, rapid respiratory and pulse rate; unconsciousness or
coma.
• Actions
Casualty must be cooled down and medical aid sought
immediately with the person transported to the site medical
facilities.
4.4.2 Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is a state of very definite weakness or exhaustion
caused by the loss of fluids from the body. This condition is much less
dangerous than heat strokes, but must be treated early on to prevent
eventual deterioration to heat stroke.
• Symptoms
Pale, clammy, moist skin, profuse perspiration, and extreme
weakness. Body temperature is normal, pulse is weak and rapid,
breathing is shallow. The person may have a headache, may
vomit, may be dizzy.
4.4.3 Heat Cramps

Heat cramps are caused by perspiration that is not balanced by adequate
fluid intake. Heat cramps are often the first sign of a condition that can
lead to heat stroke.
• Symptoms
Acute painful spasms of voluntary muscles; e.g., abdomen and
extremities.
CUSTOMER
LOGO
PROJECT TITLE
4.4.4 Heat Rash

Heat rash is caused by continuous exposure to heat and humid air and is
aggravated by chafing clothes. The condition decreases ability to tolerate
heat.
• Symptoms
