Scaffoldings (scaffolds) and ladders are used to access elevated work places in
safe condition.

A scaffold is a temporarily /or permanent erected structure which allow persons to

work on or is used to support materials, plant or equipment. Scaffolds may be
made of steel tubes, couplers, fittings and decking units, which should comply
with recognized legislation and standards. Scaffolds are classified, depending on
the load they will be intended to support, from light duty to heavy duty.

Portable ladders can be made of light metal. They shall be of sturdy construction
and be in good condition for safe use. Portable ladders shall not be used for
permanent access or long duration work; in that case scaffolds shall be used.

10.1. Erection of Scaffolds

Scaffolding shall be erected by competent scaffolders using good quality
components manufactured in accordance with BS standards.

Scaffolders shall have received adequate training or shall be able to demonstrate

their knowledge, ability and experience in scaffolding erection.

10.1.2. Scaffold duty

Scaffolds are classified according to the load they are intended for. Depending
on the scaffold duty, the following characteristics should not exceed determined
values, which can be found in professional documentation and standards.
ㄱ Height of scaffold assembly,
ㄴ Length of bay,
ㄷ Number of platforms,
ㄹ Number & length of bracing,

13.0 Safety Policy for Radiography

In connection with safety against the direct and indirect ionizing radiation's Naftkav
follows safety policy governed by atomic energy organization of Iran, which in turn is
under direct supervision of international committee of radiation protection (ICRP)

13.1 Ionizing Radiations

13.1.1. Ionizing radiation's, such as X-Rays generated by different types of

equipments and Gamma ray with which are generated by radioactive
isotopes e.g.; Ir 192 which is widely used in the NAFTKAV site for non-
destructive testing of various welds, pressure vessels, steel structures
etc. The material tested does not retain any radioactivity when testing is
completed.

13.1.2. For all practical purposes, the harmful radiation's like X-rays and
Gamma ray emitted by radioactive sources have properties that should
be understood. Even tough they have the ability to penetrate the body
they con not be perceived by any of the five senses; they can be
absorbed and scattered by matter; they travel in straight lines at the
speed of light; they ionize gases; they affect photographic film emulsions
and by far the most important they are harmful to living cells. Radiation
dosages are cumulative and do not dissipate for a period of time.

13.2 Methods of protection against radiation

13.2.1 Distance, time and shielding are the main methods of reducing radiation
exposure

13.2.2 In the use of X-ray equipment, precautions against emitted radiation are
necessary when electric power is turned on.

13.3 Classified Persons

13.3.1 Any person who work, and is expected to deal with ionizing radiation
must be classified. He must have undergone a semi-annual medical
examination and his base line blood must be known.

13.3.2 Classified persons can receive the maximum permissible dose of 2.5
mR/H (25 micro Sievert/h), but the cumulative dose must not exceed 50
mSV per calendar year for the dose to individual organs or tissues, other
than the lens of the eye for which the value in 15 mSV in a year.
 HSE PLAN
DOCUMENT TITLE
Health, Safety and
Page: 50 of 74
Environment Plan

13.3.3 Competent persons and radiographers are classified persons. A

classified person must wear a film badge, which is renewed every six
months and a personal dosimeter at all times when performing industrial
radiography operations. At the end of each work shift he should record
the absorbed dose.

13.3.4 A competent person who has the health physic certificate from Iranian
atomic energy organization and trained for this specific purpose.

13.3.5 Radiographers and their assistants are personnel who are directly
concerned with radiation in their work.

13.3.6 Non-classified persons are members of the general work force who are
not exposed to ionizing radiation as part of their jobs. These persons
must not at any time to be exposed to more than 0.75 mR/H in air (7.5
micro Sievert/h).

13.4 Responsibilities

13.4.1 The radiography supervisor has the full responsibility in all matters
concerning the safe use, storage and transportation of Gamma sealed
sources and industrial X-ray machines and equipment.

13.4.2 Competent persons

13.4.2.1 He will carry out work place audits to ensure compliance with
instruction and standards and report the results of these audits to the
site safety officer.

13.4.3 Radiographer

13.4.3.1 At the start of each shift, the radiographer will ensure all
equipments are in safe working order, any malfunctions will be
reported to the competent person immediately.

13.4.3.2 The radiographer will also make sure that he and his assistant
are wearing a valid film badge and a dosimeter, which has been
charged and zeroed.
 HSE PLAN

13.4.3.3 One radiation survey meter will be available for each source in
use.
13.4.3.4 Equipment will be transported to the work site with the safety locks
in place. Under no circumstances equipment is to be transported in an
assembled condition.
13.4.3.5 Upon arrival at the job site and prior to operating with any sealed
source, the radiographer will ensure that non-classified persons will not
be subjected to more than the permitted level of radiation of 0.75 mR/H
in air (7.5 micro Sievert/h).
13.4.3.6 To keep non-classified personnel out of the radiation area, warning
signs (in English and Farsi) will be clearly displayed and a colored tape
barrier should be erected around the perimeter. Flashing lights should
also be used in the hours of darkness.

13.5 Storage of radioactive isotopes

13.5.1 Storage of isotopes will be so arranged that the radiation level on the outside
of the storage place does not exceed 0.75 mR/H in air (7.5 micro Sievert/h)
13.5.2 Signs or notices will be place in a prominent position with the legend
"Warning Keep out", "Radioactive material storage" in English and Farsi and
be accompanied by the international trefoil symbol.
13.5.3 Barriers and notices will be erected at the entrance of the storage
place at a distance dictated by the radiation level which must not be more
than 0.75 mR/H in air (7.5 mS/h).

13.6 Use of radioactive isotopes

13.6.1 Any radiography activity or where the radioactive isotope is to be

removed from the source room should be under written permission.
13.6.2 The source container shall be checked at the following intervals with a
radiation monitor to ensure that the source is safely stored:

1- Before removing from source room.

2- After arrival at work yard prior to commencement of radiography.
3- On completion of each exposure.
4- Before returning container to the source room.

13.6.3 Each person who is required to manipulate the equipment or who is in

any way employed in the process involving the use of or transportation of
isotope, will receive specific instructions from a competent person.
