Setting Clear Requirements

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose
This specification describes PDO's minimum requirements for managing wastes,
which result from PDO’s activities products or services, that have the potential to be
hazardous to human health or to harm the environment.

1.2 Changes to the Specification

This Specification replaces the requirements in the Waste Management Manual
(TSE/ENV/95/004 Revision 2) and the Chemical Management Manual Vol 1
(TSE/ENV/95/003).

1.3 Scope
This Specification applies to all Hazardous and Non-Hazardous waste generated
through PDO, Contractor and Sub-Contractor activities.

1.4 Waste Definitions and Classifications

1.4.1 Non-Hazardous Wastes.

Ministerial Decision MD 17/93 ‘Regulations for the Management of Solid Non-
Hazardous Waste’ defines non-hazardous solid waste as any solid or semi solid
material which does not pose any danger to the environment or to human health, if it
is dealt with in a safe scientific way. MD 17/93 requires occupants of industrial
premises to store and dispose of non-hazardous waste such that there is no nuisance
or hazard to public health.
Within PDO non-hazardous waste can be any of the following:

 Domestic waste  Kitchen refuse

 Non-hazardous waste chemicals  Non-hazardous empty drums
 Office waste  Scrap metal
 Water based drilling mud cuttings  Tree/grass cuttings
(WBMC)
 Water based drilling mud (WBM)  Others

Domestic Waste
Domestic waste includes kitchen refuse and tree/grass cuttings. Office waste
includes paper and other wastes generated in an office environment. Domestic and
office waste may include recyclable materials such as paper, steel cans, aluminium
cans, printer toner cartridges and disused computers.

Non Hazardous Industrial Waste

Non Hazardous Industrial Waste includes uncontaminated iron scrap, electrical cable,
tyres, wood and paper.

1.4.2 Hazardous Wastes

Ministerial Decision MD 18/93 ‘Regulations for the Management of Hazardous Waste’,
defines hazardous waste as any liquid or solid waste, which because of its quantity,
physical, chemical or infectious characteristics, can be hazardous or potentially
hazardous to human health, to plants or animals and to air, soil or water.

SP-1009 REVISION 4.0 Page 1

 HSE – SPECIFICATION
Setting Clear Requirements

Hazardous waste can arise from commercial, industrial, agricultural or any other
activities. It includes explosive, radioactive, flammable, toxic and corrosive
substances which may cause disease, as well as any substances identified as
hazardous by a decision from the Minister.
Hazardous waste can be hazardous or potentially hazardous when improperly
handled, stored, transported, treated or disposed of.
Within PDO, hazardous waste can include the following:

 Oily sand / soil  Oily sludge

 Hazardous waste chemicals  Waste lubricants
 Hazardous Lab waste chemicals  Hazardous empty drums
 Sewage Sludge  Clinical waste
 Batteries  OBM and OBM cuttings
 Tyres  Pigging sludge
 NORM  Others
 Oil Based Mud (OBM) 

This Specification does not address aqueous wastes (such as production water,
sewage effluent and reverse osmosis plant discharges) or gaseous wastes. Aqueous
wastes are addressed in SP 1006 Specification for Aqueous Effluent. Gaseous wastes
are addressed in SP 1005 Specification for Emissions to Atmosphere.

a) Sewage sludge
Sewage sludge is defined as treated sewage in semi-liquid form (e.g. septic tank
sludge) or in dried form (e.g. dried sewage sludge from STP sludge drying beds).

1.5 Deliverables

1.5.1 Records:
Records shall be maintained to document the implementation of this Specification.
Records shall also be maintained to document waste management practices (refer to
CP 122 HSE Management System Manual, Part 2, Chapter 6).

Moving all wastes (hazardous and non-hazardous) from one location to a waste
disposal facility or to another location, requires a PDO Waste Consignment Note
(specified below). In addition, discrete chemicals identified as ‘waste chemicals’
require a Chemical Disposal Advice Form.

a) Waste Consignment Note.

A Waste Consignment Note (see Figure 1) shall be raised by the waste generator for
both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Separate Waste Consignment Notes are
required for hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. A Waste Consignment Note shall
accompany a waste load and shall be signed when the waste has been received at
the disposal location.

A signed copy shall then be returned to the ‘Waste Originator’ as proof that the waste
arrived safely at the correct place. The Waste Contractor will provide the Waste
Originators with a monthly summary of waste received.

SP-1009 REVISION 4.0 Page 2

 HSE – SPECIFICATION
Setting Clear Requirements

Chemical Disposal Advice Form

Discrete chemicals, which have been identified as ‘waste chemicals’ require a
Chemical Disposal Advice Form (Figure 2) and disposal advice from Production
Chemistry.

The originator of the waste chemical is to fill in a Chemical Disposal Advice Form.
Once approval of the Form has been obtained, the waste chemical can be moved
from the waste originator to the designated disposal site. Movement of the waste
chemical must be accompanied by both the approved Chemical Disposal Advice Form
and a Waste Consignment Note.

1.5.2 Reports
Waste management data shall be submitted to the CSM Department monthly, in the
format specified in Appendix B.

Any non-compliance with this Specification shall be notified, investigated and

reported per the ‘Non Compliance Report Form’ in CP 122 HSE Management System
Manual, Part 2, Chapter 6.

1.6 Responsibility
