Page 23 of 99
TURAIF, BP
Open acetylene valve a quarter turn only, to give a pressure not exceeding 15 psig and for
quick closing of valve during emergency. Oxygen cylinder valve may be opened completely.
All oxygen and fuel gas cylinders to be used in the project shall have approved flashback
arrestors fitted to the gauges of the cylinders. Flashback arrestors shall be inspected and
maintained as per the manufacturer’s specification and recommendations.
Nothing shall be placed on top of oxy-acetylene manifolds that will damage the manifold or
interfere with the quick closing of the valve.
Approved acetylene wrench shall be provided and kept available at the cylinder valve at all
times during cutting operation.
Be sure work piece is securely held down (both sides of the cut, if practical).
When using electric grinder, always allow newly mounted wheels to run at operating speed,
with guard in place, for at least one minute before grinding.
Prior to use of grinders, check the cable and plug for any defect and ensure that guards and
stabilizing handle are in place. Always wear eye and face protection when grinding.
Don't force a wheel onto the grinding machine or alter the size of the arbor hole. Don't use a
wheel that fits the arbor too loosely. If the wheel doesn't fit the machine, get one that does.
Ensure that the RPM rating of the wheel exceeds the rating of the machine.
Don't force the grinding wheel to the work piece to prevent “kick back” of the machine which
may result to an injury. Let the machine do its work.
Keep a stable and comfortable position when performing grinding. Don't stand directly in front
of a grinding wheel when a grinder is started.
3.7.1.3 Use of Fuel Gas

Fuel gas must not be used from cylinders through torches or other devices which are
equipped with shut off valves without reducing the pressure through a suitable regulator
attached to the cylinder valve or manifold.
Before connecting a regulator to the cylinder valve, the valve shall be opened slightly and
closed immediately to allow freeing the valve of dust or dirt that might otherwise enter the
regulator, otherwise known as ' cracking '. The person cracking the valve must stand on one
side of the outlet not in front of it. Cracking must be performed in an area away from ignition
source.
The cylinder valve must always be opened slowly to prevent damage to the regulator. For
quick closing, valves of fuel gas cylinders shall not be opened more than 1 ½ turns.
Page 24 of 99
TURAIF, BP
Acetylene cylinder must always have an approved acetylene wrench readily available for
immediate use.
Before a regulator is removed from a cylinder valve, the cylinder valve shall always be closed
and the gas released from the regulator.
3.7.1.4 In Case of Fuel Gas Leak

If, upon opening the valve on a fuel gas cylinder, there is a leak found around the valve stem,
the valve shall be closed and the gland-nut tightened. If this action does not stop the leak, the
use of the cylinder must be stopped and the cylinder tagged “Do Not Use” and removed from
service.
In the event that a fuel gas leaks from the valve rather than from the valve stem, and the gas
cannot be shut off, the cylinder shall be immediately tagged “Defective, Do Not Use” and
subsequently removed from service and moved to a quarantine area where it will not create a
danger to the workers.
If a leak develops at a fuse plug or other safety device, the cylinder must be immediately
tagged “Defective, Do Not Use” and removed from service and moved to a quarantine area
where it will not create a danger to the workers.
In case of a fuel gas leak, quickly prompt nearby personnel to immediately abort any
introduction of ignition source in the immediate area. Other potential ignition sources such as
power tools shall be unplugged; however, it must be done with extreme caution since
removing a plug from an outlet can itself produce a spark.
Should a leak cannot be exactly located, apply a diluted soap solution in the valve / manifold
area and look for sign of bubbles. A bubble will indicate the exact location of leak.
3.7.1.5 Compressed Gas Cylinders – Handling, Use, Storage and Transport

Handling, use, storage and transport of compressed gas cylinders e.g. oxygen, acetylene,
argon, nitrogen and similar compressed gas cylinders shall be in full accordance with the
applicable procedure of Client and relevant provisions of this program. As minimum, the
requirements prescribed under this section, for handling, use, storage and transport of
compressed gas cylinders shall be observed.
Oxygen cylinders in storage shall be separated from fuel-gas cylinders or combustible

materials especially oil or grease. Oxygen and acetylene cylinders must be separated at least
6 meters apart or isolated by 1.5 meter (minimum) high non-combustible material with at least
1/2 - hour fire rating.
Page 25 of 99
TURAIF, BP
Empty and full cylinders shall be stored separately with empty cylinders plainly marked with
"EMPTY" and full ones “FULL” to avoid confusion and mix up.
Warning notices such as: "Danger, No Smoking" will be provided and maintained in all
compressed (oxy-acetylene) gas cylinders' storage areas.
All compressed gas cylinders including empty ones shall be kept upright and chained at all
times and properly capped when not in use. At no circumstance, cylinders will be located or
stored closer than 15 meters (50 feet) from sources of heat or ignition such as open flame
operation, generators, welding machines, compressors, ovens, etc.
Flammable and highly combustible substances such as thinner, paint, gasoline, oil, grease,
etc. shall not be stored within 15 meters, (50 feet) of compressed gas cylinder storage areas.
No compressed gas cylinders of any kind shall be placed, stored, or left in a confined space
including vessels, tanks, pipes, deep excavations and similar enclosed work area, whether
empty or full due to potential hazard of leakage.
Compressed gas cylinder storage area shall be located in an open / well-ventilated area, with
sun protection (shed). When stored inside the building, cylinders shall be located in a well-
protected, well-ventilated and dry location area. Regardless of the storage location,
compressed gas cylinders shall be stored where they are not subject to being knocked over
or damaged by passing or falling objects.
Compressed gas cylinders shall not be located where they can become part of an electrical
circuit. Electrode must not be struck against the cylinder to strike an arc.
Cylinders when transported, shall be secured, kept upright and have their caps properly in
place. Cylinders maybe moved by tilting and rolling on bottom edge slightly upright but never
dragged.
All compressed gas cylinders i.e. oxygen, acetylene, argon, nitrogen, etc. shall be clearly
identified by color and name of the contents.
Lifting / hoisting compressed gas cylinders shall be done ONLY by means of approved
material basket or cradle. Hoisting by choker slings directly attached to the cylinders in any
way is STRICTLY prohibited.
Before cylinders are moved, transported or lifted, regulators shall be removed and protective
caps put in place. Before removing regulators, valves must be closed and the gas totally bled
off.
Flashback arresters shall be installed on all oxy-acetylene cutting sets.
Page 26 of 99
TURAIF, BP
3.7.1.6 Grinders and Abrasive Wheels

All grinders shall be equipped with protective guard allowing only the working segment of the
wheel or disc to be exposed. This guard shall never be removed. Deliberate removal of this
guard or use of grinder without such guard shall be subject to stern disciplinary action.
Ensure that the design classification of abrasive wheel / cutting disc is appropriate for the
material to be ground or cut. (i.e. Aluminum Oxide wheel - denoted by letter "A" for high
tensile strength material; Silicon Carbide - denoted by letter "C" for low tensile strength
material, etc.).
Check and ensure that the grinding tool is of approved voltage and equipped with “Dead-Man”
switch, "press" ON – “release” OFF switch.
Under no circumstances shall, the spindle speed of grinding machine (RPM) exceed the
rotating speed marked on the cutting/ grinding disc. Always use a grinding wheel with an RPM
rating more than the rating of the grinding machine.
Grinders shall be switched off and held until the rotation of wheel is completely stopped
before they are placed down.
Abrasive wheels that have been dropped shall no longer be used as the impact may result in
breakage during the actual use.
Abrasive wheels must be ensured free of cracks or damage before they are mounted by
means of a "Ring Test". This is to be achieved by gently "tapping" the side of the wheel with a
light non-metallic object such as handle of a screw driver at about 1 - 2 inches from the
periphery and 45o off the vertical centerline (each side). Tapping is repeated after every 45
degrees rotation of the wheel until completed. (A sound of undamaged wheel will give a clear
metallic tone and a cracked one will produce a "dead sound” and not a clear ring.)
Any and all portable power outlets for electrically operated grinders must be GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected.
Qualified & competent electrician shall be designated to inspect and tag electric-powered
tools on a monthly basis. Defective tools shall be tagged “DEFECTIVE-DO NOT USE”.

Page 32 of 99
TURAIF, BP
Proper tagging system shall be observed to properly identify and convey to the public and
potential users, the scaffold platforms’ status. Standard laminated "Scaff Tags” will be used by
the designated competent scaffold supervisor / foreman to confirm acceptance or non-
acceptance of the platform. On top of standard scaff tags, reinforcing "Danger / Instruction
/Caution Signs” will be affixed at the most conspicuous location of the scaffold structure, to
make visual verification of access platform status more easy and visible to the public and
potential users, such that :
 RED Scaff Tag - indicates scaffold is not yet ready for use, has been condemned for
use or declared totally unsafe for use.
 GREEN Scaff Tag - indicates safe status of the scaffold structure / platform and can be
used without tying up the full-body harness as long as they remain inside the railing
system.
 “Safety Harness Must Be Worn” Tag, (A the discretion of Client Scaffolding Specialist
or upon approval of the client, by RAWABI BUTEC’s Competent scaffolding Inspector)
indicates that the work platform or portion of the platform does not meet total guardrail
or full decking requirement and the planned work may be allowed with the use of fall
protection (full body harness) properly tied-up. This is commonly faced in the case of
elevated formworks, concrete pouring, piping erection, tank shell erection and similar
activities where certain gap or space must remain between the structure and the
internal edge of the platform, to allow normal execution of required work process such
as structure / equipment alignment and use of associated devices e.g. pumpcrete
hose, vibrators, etc. Use of full body harness is limited to competent persons only.
The scaff tag shall be properly signed off by the assigned competent scaffolding inspector
and shall be hanged conspicuously near its ground access or immediate landing. All scaffolds
shall be inspected and have their scaff tags signed off by the designated competent scaffold
inspector at least once a week.
Only complete and structurally sound scaffold shall be used. Partly erected or dismantled
scaffold shall have prominent warning notices indicating "DO NOT USE" or "NOT READY
FOR USE" and affixed with Red Scaff Tag.
3.7.3.2 Drop / Underhung & Special Scaffolds

All drop / under hung and special scaffolds 12 meters in height, shall be designed by
competent person (qualified engineer), erected or dismantled only by competent scaffolders,
well experienced on the particular nature of work. Erection and dismantling operations must
be performed under direct supervision of a competent scaffolding foreman or supervisor well
experienced in such operations.
Extra safety measures shall be taken into account on the hangers (suspended standards) of
drop / under hung scaffolds serving as the main structural supports of the whole platform.
Page 33 of 99
TURAIF, BP
These hangers secured above the work platform to a fixed structure i.e. beam, girder, etc.,
shall, as practically as possible, be doubly secured with load bearing couplers in a manner
such that, when one of two couplers fails, the remaining one will keep the hanger safely in
place or, when one of two load-bearing connections fails, the remaining connection will keep
holding the hanger and maintain the platform secured. When doubly securing a hanger to a
fixed structure cannot be attained after all practical options have been considered, temporary
positive stops or check couplers must be installed to compensate for a possible slip-through
of the tube from the main coupler. Check coupler must be a load-bearing type.
On all drop / under hung scaffold or suspended work platform, a lifeline or safety rope with a
minimum breaking strength of 2400 kg., secured to a substantial structure i.e. beam, column,
etc. (not to the guardrails), shall be provided. Full body harness' lanyard shall be kept hooked
onto such lifeline or safety rope while on the platform to safely suspend the wearer in case of
a fall. Lanyard shall not be secured to the guardrails or any part of a drop scaffold.
Drop scaffolds shall be provided with adequate and safe access to and from the work
platform. Such access must be continuous from the platform, without obstruction to the
ground. When the continuity of the direct access route is inevitably interfered with beams,
pipes, columns or other members of the structure, a safe alternate route of access must be
established. When such beams, girders or pipes serve as a means of or form part of means
of egress / ingress, provision for lifelines along and above such walking surfaces must be
made so that, the person is kept protected from accidental fall by keeping his lanyard secured
onto the lifeline while crossing / walking.
Where the drop scaffold is to be erected close to or partly resting on or connected to pipes or
structural members of a structure being constructed, i.e. beams, etc., it must be carefully
examined and ensured that such portions affecting the scaffold are properly secured and not
subject to accidental displacement prior to commencing erection.
All relevant requirements described under tube & coupler independent scaffolds shall be
employed / applied for drop / underling and special scaffolds.
One-foot long trapeze tubes shall be installed at the suspended standard (hanger)
approximately 600mm (2 feet) below the runners (ledgers) to assist in the erection,
dismantling or repair of the underling / drop scaffold. Trapeze tubes must be secured by load-
bearing coupler. Immediately under the load-bearing coupler connecting the trapeze tube, a
check coupler which is a load bearing coupler too, must be anchored against the suspended
standard (hanger). These two couplers must be in contact with each other. The trapeze tube
and its check coupler shall be installed right on the ground before connecting the hanger to
the support (I-beam or ledger).
Where required, a design and calculation by Site Engineering will be sought.

3.7.3.3 Tie-off Policy

Scaffolders and all other personnel working in an unprotected level at or above 2 meters in
height from the ground or floor, who are exposed to potential fall, shall wear full body harness
with shock absorbing lanyard as minimum. The lanyard shall be anchored at all times to an
anchorage point such as a lifeline or rigid structure or a stable part of the scaffold structure at
the highest point possible and not lower than shoulder level (where possible). Anchorage
point must be capable to withstand at least 2400 kilograms of force. Double-shock-absorbing
lanyard must be employed to attain 100% tie-off during the scaffold erection, dismantling or
repair. When so employed, the second lanyard must be properly anchored to the desired
anchorage point before the first lanyard is disengaged.
Wearing of fall protection (full body harness) is not required when working inside of a
protected (completely guard railed with toe boards) scaffold platform provided however, that
no parts of the person’s body whatsoever, is extended or exposed to a potential fall outside,
above or beyond the protective rails of the platform. This exception however, does not, in any
way apply to personnel working in a personnel platform or man-basket. Any person working
in a man-basket must, at all times, hook his lanyard.

3.7.6.6 Manual Handling

Manual load-handling operations shall be understood to mean any operation in which a
weight is carried or held by one or more workers, in addition to lifting, laying, pushing, pulling
or moving operations were inadequate ergonomic factors entail the risk of injury to the
workers, lower back or dorso-lumbar injury in particular.
Correct approach shall be applied in order to lift a load; as such the operator’s center of
gravity must be as close as possible to the center of gravity of the load.
The essential balance required for lifting a load correctly can only be achieved if the feet are
well positioned: Either side of the load; slightly apart; one slightly in front of the other.
Safe and proper lifting technique shall be applied in such a manner that the body shall be
positioned as close as possible to the load to be lifted, keep the back flat or straight; Bend the
knees not the back when lifting the load; Use the strongest muscle groups (arms, leg and
thigh muscles) to lift the load.
Picking an object in a wrong manner causes the muscles of the whole body to contract
involuntarily. To get a better feel of an object when picking it up is grip it with the palm of the
hand and the base of the fingers. To apply this principle on lifting relatively heavier load, first
set blocks or spacers underneath to give adequate clearance for the hands to position itself
for the grip.
Loads must be lifted keeping the back straight and properly aligned. To keep the back
straight, the abdominal muscles should be engaged and the chin slightly lowered.
Arching the back increases the risk of injury even when the weight is not very heavy. Twisting
the trunk of the body while carrying a load can also result to injury.
In this case, the movement should be broken down into two parts. First, lift the weight and
turn the whole body by shifting the feet a little distance at a time. Or, before lifting, position
yourself correctly in the direction to be taken so as to avoid turning the body while carrying the
load.
The leg muscles shall be used to give the first impulse to the weight to be lifted. In order to do
this, bend the knees without sitting on the heels as it would then be difficult to get up from this
position. Leg muscles shall also be used to push a vehicle or object.
Wherever possible, lifting load should be done with the arms straight. The weight should be
suspended by the arms and not lifted by them.
Page 48 of 99
TURAIF, BP
The load shall be carried in such a way that does not prevent the carrier from seeing what is
in front of him and that allows him to walk as safely and naturally as possible.
When lifting a drum or a box, one foot should be kept a little behind the other in order to be
able to step back quickly if the weight tilts.
When carrying a load, it should be held against the body supported by extended, unbent
arms. This procedure will prevent the unnecessary fatigue that would result from contracting
the arm muscles thus forcing the biceps to make an effort fifteen times the weight being lifted.
Using the weight of your body in manual handling tasks will significantly reduce the effort
required from legs and arms.
The weight of the body can be used to push movable object with the arms straight and held in
that position so that the body’s entire weight is transmitted to the object to be moved; to pull a
box or a drum to be tipped over; or to provide resistance to break the descent of a load, using
the body as a counterweight.

hazardous substances shall have JSA and Method Statement prepared and attached to the
MSDS. All work involving hazardous substances shall be performed in compliance with the
client Site HSE Procedure (Control of Material Safety Data Sheets).
8.2 JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS (JSAS)

Foremen / crew supervisors shall develop Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), on Client-approved
format, for their planned activities for the week. JSAs are particularly required for all new and
non-routine activities. Being proactive can help facilitate preparing JSAs.
In developing and enforcement of specific JSA, it is important that crew supervisors/ foremen
involve their respective workmen on hazard identification, elimination and control or mitigating
process.
JSA shall be made on such a format that will provide the following information, as minimum:
 Basic job steps (which describes specific work to be performed including tools,
equipment to be employed)
 Risk or potential hazards (e.g. fall hazards, oxygen deficiency, toxic gas, pinch points,
fire hazards, electric shock, nearby energized lines, etc.)
 Severity rating (i.e. from potential first-aid to catastrophic accident)
Page 71 of 99
TURAIF, BP
 Safe job procedure appropriate to the hazard predicted (e.g., Install guardrails; wear
body harness; entry permit/ atmospheric test, posting spotter / watchman, etc.)
appropriate to the hazards identified.
In developing JSAs supervisors/ foremen may consult with RAWABI-BUTEC or CLIENT
safety representatives or other site authorities / competent persons for related information
essential to complete the analysis.
JSAs must be prepared in such a manner as to present factual information (i.e. specific job
hazards / required appropriate measures) as a result of an actual survey of the work site and
associated equipment, by the responsible foreman / crew supervisor and careful study of the
planned activity. It must not be generic in nature.
RAWABI BUTEC Site safety personnel shall conduct spot audit of JSAs to ensure adherence
of respective work groups to the safety measures contained therein. Non-compliance will
result in the work of the responsible group being stopped.
Information contained in the JSAs will be the basis for developing Daily Safe Work Plan by
each crew supervisor / foreman. Contents of the Daily Safe Work Plan will be the basis for
daily toolbox talks by foremen / supervisors.
The overall Safety Action Plan, as well as applicable sections of the project-specific Safety
Program and Client’s procedure can serve as a good reference in developing JSAs.

10 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES

10.1 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

Emergency evacuation plan specific to the worksite will be parallel with the Client’s Worksite
Emergency Response Procedure. Following information presented in this section will serve as
a basis for finalizing the site-specific evacuation plans and at the same time, provide site
employees with the basic guideline and practices in responding to site emergencies.
All site employees shall be fully familiar with and adhere to an approved Emergency Plan on
the project. Information on project-specific Evacuation Procedure will be communicated to site
employees through Pre-Deployment Site Safety Orientation, weekly and daily toolbox
meetings.
A copy of a plot plan of the project showing specific locations of safe assembly areas, exit
gates, routes, etc. shall be maintained at Site Safety Department and posted at conspicuous
locations within the office complex for employees’ ready reference.
Every Foreman / Supervisor must be constantly aware of the actual number of his men in his
respective area. At the start of work shift, everyone must sign-in on the group's attendance
sheet and an actual number accounted for by responsible Foreman / Supervisor. Knowing
and checking the actual number of workmen under respective supervision at the start of work
shift is necessary in order to provide an accurate reference should an actual head count be
necessary in the event of an actual site emergency.
Where required, a daily work force report (actual number of men on site) shall be submitted to
Client on the schedule agreed upon on the project.
Before starting any activity at a new work location, the location and access routes to the pre-
determined Safe Assembly Area(s) shall be checked or familiarized with by the responsible
foremen / supervisors and the same shall be communicated to their workmen, to ensure an
organized action and prompt evacuation from the work area should the need arise. In addition
to the designated emergency access routes/assembly areas, an alternate safe access/
location shall be anticipated and, availed of when the situation so warrants (i.e. in situations
that the pre-determined routes/assembly areas become inaccessible or obstructed for some
reason).
Every personnel working on site shall check prevailing wind direction at the start of work shift
and from time to time during the course of work. Wind direction can be determined through
windsocks, which are located in the upper level of the site or nearby plants.
Page 78 of 99
TURAIF, BP
Constant awareness of both the specific site alarms applicable to the actual work site or plant
zone where activity is taking place and of the basic steps to be taken in case of site
emergency shall be exercised by every individual while on the project site.
Visiting RAWABI BUTEC Personnel and casual visitors on project site have to know the basic
Emergency Procedure being enforced on the project upon arrival at site and, under no
circumstances, shall roam around the work site / plant site without being accompanied by a
representative from the responsible department.
Individual alertness on emergencies shall not only be confined to responding to emergency

situations arising from or within the project site. The possibility of confronting emergencies
that could arise from external source or adjacent plants such as a toxic / gas cloud release,
spill of hazardous material etc. that can be wind-blown to the worksite shall also be
anticipated and appropriate immediate actions to be taken mentally rehearsed. Relevant
information on such potential occurrence (i.e. safe evacuation routes, exit gates) shall be pre-
arranged with Client’s representatives and incorporated into the site-specific contingency
plan.
10.1.2 Action To Be Taken

Upon declaration of an emergency or, on hearing the established site alarm or upon receipt of
