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 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.

9.1.4 Twelve Rules On Work Permit Procedure

A serious injury or illness is one that requires;
The services of a doctor at the site and/or immediate and urgent transfer of the sick or
injured person to a medical facility

Incharge HSE
Make immediate area safe;
Arrange best possible interim medical arrangements for patient during transfer to
hospital or while attendance by doctor is being arranged
Advise Field Response Team Leader, request assistance as appropriate

Field Response Team Leader

Arrange ambulance and doctor.


Advise local hospital of imminent arrival of victim and nature of injury/illness if known
Advice CUSTOMER FRTL
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 causes 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.
Transport the victim to a vehicle by stretcher, if possible. If absolutely necessary, a victim
may be carried. The victim should not walk, and should never run.
Remove the victim to hospital for treatment or observation as quickly as possible. The
victim should remain under medical observation for twenty four hours.

Notes:
If attacked by a spitting cobra, flush the eyes immediately with copious amounts of water or
any fluids available. After sufficient flushing, apply antibacterial eye drops.
Note and record any symptoms and changes in the snakebite victim. These include quality
of vision, respiration rate, emotional changes, nausea etc.
Do not apply ice to the site of the bite as this may cause further tissue damage.
Bring the dead snake along for identification if possible, then the appropriate antivenin can
be administered, if necessary.

10.8.3 Road Accident

Upon receiving notification of a road accident involving a IKAN vehicle:


Site ambulance, medic and first aid kit to be dispatched to location immediately.

Details on who is doing the work and the respective disciplines, numbers involved,
date of preparation and reference number to be supplied by the individual
responsible for managing and controlling the work - an outline definition of the work
scope to be provided, and then any risks identified in terms of high potential,
should be highlighted and addressed as part of the stage two procedure on risk
assessment.
It is essential for the purpose of this procedure that all tools and equipment are
listed and a Performa providing a list of considerations should be reviewed against
the previous sections and after undergoing the approval route of this procedure, an
assurance regarding communication should be made that parties involved with the
task are fully aware of the steps, procedures and considerations necessary to
undertake the task.

12.4.2 Stage - 2
Risk Assessments
Following the completion of the work method statement Performa, an evaluation
will be made as to any identified hazards which shall be ranked in order of
magnitude against the list of hazards.
The rankings are given as low, medium and high in terms of probability and
severity, the assessment should therefore be based on what the hazards are and
what potential exists for injury or property damage. In other words risk rating i.e
low, medium and high = severity x probability.

12.5 Control Of Hazard


The hierarchy of Risk/Hazard Control is used to determine risk reduction
measure in order of their effectiveness, as follows:
12.5.1 Elimination or substitution of the task / job step or substance.
12.5.2 Engineering Control Including guarding and mechanical aids such as scaffolding,
extraction ventilation and alike
12.5.3 Administrative Controls
Including permits, training, signage, reduction in time or personnel exposure

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 intruder’s 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, misaligned 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.
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

Doc. No: IKAN-M-02 W.e.f: 01-08-2013

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.
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 VI (Attachments).

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.
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 analyzed 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’.
8.4.2 Responsibilities
 Managing Contractor and IKAN site management.

 Shall carry out noise assessments where and when necessary, and produce
noise contour maps with octave band frequencies analyzed.
 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.
4.2 Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the line management to ensure that personnel under
their control are educated in recognizing and understanding the treatment for the
various forms of heat stress, and that supervisor actively monitoring the work

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
1. Pale, clammy and moist skin.
2. Profuse perspiration and extreme weakness.
3. Body temperature is normal, pulse is weak and rapid, and breathing is
shallow. The person may have a headache, may vomit, and 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.
