1.0. INTRODUCTION
Hazard Identification and Task Risk Assessment (HITRA) is used during the planning and execution stages
of Commissioning Control of Work (CoW) to identify hazards associated with performing tasks. It prescribes
the control measures to implement during task execution to prevent or eliminate, isolate or minimize task
risks so that work is executed in a safe, systematic and compliant manner. This document should be read in
conjunction with Khazzan Commissioning Control of Work Procedure KZ01-CG-PRO-53-0107 and the
Energy Isolation Process KZ01-CG-PRO-53-0111
1.1. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to describe how to identify work-related hazards and assess risks
associated with activities undertaken as part of the Khazzan Project Commissioning scope. It provides the
necessary detail to illustrate ‘what good hazard identification and task risk assessment looks like’.
The HITRA process forms an essential part of the Commissioning Control of Work (CoW) process.
1.2. Scope
This procedure applies to work undertaken –inside the CPF boundary limits. See Figure 1 below illustrating
the CPF Commissioning CoW document structure. An equivalent approach managed by BP for GWES
Category 1 scope.
All activities within their area of responsibility comply with this procedure
Delegation of any of the CoW role’s responsibility is documented
CoW audit, assurance and self-verification systems are in place, including lessons learned and continual
improvement processes
Sufficient resources (time, people and budget) are allocated to implement this procedure
Personnel involved in facilitating HITRA are properly trained and competent
Periodic self-verification against the requirements in this procedure is undertaken
Responsibility can be delegated but not accountability. This delegation must be documented (Refer to CPF
Commissioning CoW ProcedureKZ01-CG-PLN-53-0107.
Ensure that an adequate number of competent persons are appointed to manage the work and the
associated risks, as defined in this procedure
Confirm that a process is in place to manage the appointment of competent persons as:
o Authorizing signatories for Level 1 and Level 2 HITRAs,
o Level 1 HITRA completers,
o Team Leaders to facilitate the Level 2 HITRA process.
Ensure that the HITRA process is in place and followed consistently
Review and self-verify the HITRA process to confirm that the quality of the HITRAs and areas of
improvement have been identified and implemented
Ensure that the HITRA process is subject to regular monitoring and Self Verification , acting upon the
results of Self Verification to maintain the integrity of the system and proposing any recommendations for
system improvement
Ensure that formal records of all TRAs are maintained
Ensure that the training and competency standards, and formal authorization of personnel, as defined in
this document and in Control of Work Procedure (KZ01-CG-PLN-53-0107) are followed
Manage the TRAT
Note: The SA is the Single Point of Accountability for CoW on their site. The responsibilities but not the
accountabilities can be delegated to a competent person with proper documented approval from the SPA.
Review and authorization of all Level 1 & 2 HITRA should be commensurate with the level of risk. It is
incumbent on the SA to request a higher level of risk assessment should they consider that risks have not
been fully addressed.
Responsibility can be delegated but not accountability. This delegation should be through documented
approval from the SA.
The Area Authorities are responsible for ensuring that the requirements of this procedure are adhered to for
all TRAs conducted within their area of responsibility. The AA or their competent delegate (AAD) shall be
trained and competent to lead the team in performing a Level 2 HITRA. They shall be responsible to:
Ensure that everyone associated with the work activity is aware of the requirements of HITRA, permit to
work conditions and any risks or hazards
Ensure that the appropriate level of risk assessment is conducted for the task
Organise and participate in the HITRA process
Ensure that the Performing Authority (PA. Refer to Section 2.5) participates in risk assessments and
conducts Tool Box Talks associated with the work activity
Ensure that the HITRA is communicated to the workforce in commonly used language(s)
Ensure that the risk assessment requirement is included in the planning for each work activity
Ensure that a pre-job site visit is conducted with the PA to identify all hazards and appropriate controls
that need to be included in the Work Permit or risk assessment
Ensure that the appropriate level of HITRA has been carried out for the task
Ensure that all the appropriate control measures have been put in place prior to a permit being issued,
confirming that the PA fully understands the scope of work and tasks involved
Ensure that active permits and hazard control measures are effective at the work site and can continue
simultaneously with other PTW tasks
Ensure that the PA is competent to perform the task and HITRA
Promote the culture to “STOP the Job” if anyone feels unsafe.
The PA shall be competent to supervise performance of the task and be very familiar with the equipment
and tools being used. The PA may be the person carrying out the task or supervising a group of people
carrying it out.
The PA can be responsible for more than one task at a time providing they can safely manage the tasks
simultaneously. This should be discussed and agreed with the Area Authority
All personnel under their supervision comply with this procedure when involved in risk-assessed activities
Level 1 HITRA is completed where required and that adequate consultation has taken place, typically with
AA and the line supervisor
The necessity of Level 2 HITRA is identified and participate in Level 2 HITRA
Risk assessment has been performed and a toolbox talk conducted
Where other persons are involved in the task, they fully understand the scope of the work and the
hazards and controls for the job by holding a toolbox talk meeting. This includes ensuring that all of those
involved in the specific work activity sign the worksite hard copy of the Work Permit
The controls identified in the HITRA are effectively in place and that the activity is executed in accordance
with this procedure
Work activity is STOPPED if an unsafe situation occurs
Work activities have been reviewed and pertinent information exchanged with all other affected parties
Appropriate authorisation is obtained prior to the commencement of work
The proposed controls reduce the risks associated with the task; consider the controls specified by any
relevant local procedure and the capability of the person in charge.
Work is stopped immediately when there is any change to the Work Permit conditions, including an
emergency, and that hazards and risks are reassessed before the work is resumed
A culture prevails to “STOP the Job” if anyone feels unsafe.
Lead the assigned team in performing a Level 2 HITRA as described in this procedure
Ensure the team understands the assessment process and its objectives
Take responsibility for maintaining the quality of the HITRA
Ensure that the assessment team includes personnel with the necessary experience, knowledge and
competence for the task involved
Ensure that the HITRA includes a worksite visit prior to issuing PTW
Ensure that all members of the HITRA team have full opportunity to contribute and that the details of the
assessment are agreed by all team members
Ensure that the details of the assessment are accurately recorded and correspond with the agreed level
of risk
Take appropriate guidance on health, safety and environmental legislation and consequent limits on
operation
This section outlines the HITRA process for systematically examining a task to identify the hazards, evaluate
the risks and specify appropriate controls.
Level 1 TRA includes a detailed overview of the task to identify the hazards involved and required controls.
It is conducted by one or more competent persons, typically the Performing Authority (PA) and / or the Area
Authority (AA).
Level 2 TRA includes a structured semi-quantitative assessment, conducted when the Site Authority (SA) or
AA determines that there are greater hazards or complexities associated with the task, necessitating a more
rigorous assessment. Level 2 TRA is performed by a TRA team.
The PA then uses the controls listed to show how the hazards will be managed. Once again, the PA should
not be constrained by the list and must use their judgement to identify any other control measures and
record on the space provided on the permit.
The AA with the PA will review task details, hazards and control measures described on the permit along
with any documentation. Prior to the commencement of the job, they will visit the worksite to confirm all
hazards have been identified and adequately controlled.
During Commissioning, where there will be repetitive low risk tasks carried out such as instrument loop
checks, or uncoupled motor runs; a Level 1 risk assessment may be carried out and recorded on a specific
L1 risk assessment pro forma, included in Appendix G These risk assessments shall be held in the PtW
office and given a unique reference number. The assessment shall be reviewed, copied and attached to
subsequent equivalent permits as required. This will ensure a level of consistency in low risk activities.
Additional site specific hazards can be added directly to the permit as required.
This approach shall also be followed when considering Risk Assessed Procedures and the existing HITRA
shall be reviewed for applicability and any lessons learned from previous application of the procedure.
Figure 2: Example from Cold Work Permit - Hazards and Controls Checkboxes
If the proposed controls are adequate for the identified risks of the task, and the task can be conducted
safely, the task risk assessment is approved. If, considering any residual risks, the authorised signatory
doubts that the risks are adequately controlled by the proposed means, they will request a Level 2 HITRA.
Those who conducted the Level 1 HITRA may also participate in the Level 2 HITRA.
The Level 2 method uses a risk assessment proforma sheet and a suite of matrices to help to determine the
consequences and likelihood of hazardous conditions in a consistent and repeatable manner.
To complete a Level 2 risk assessment, a team is formed with a minimum of 3 persons with suitable
experience, led by a competent Level 2 HITRA facilitator appointed by the AA. The objective of forming a
team is to bring together understanding and experience of the task to examine all the hazards and devise a
set of controls that will ensure that the level of risk is reasonable.
Where larger tasks, series of tasks or significant introduction of energy is planned the potential to require
Level 2 HITRAs should be identified early, to allocate time in the plan to complete the HITRAs.
A Level 2 HITRA can be carried out at any stage in the work process if the PA, AA, a member of
management or any other personnel believes that significant risks exist which will not be adequately
controlled without a more rigorous assessment and the application of additional controls. The AA is
responsible for deciding whether a L2 HITRA is required.
The decision about when Level 2 Risk Assessment is required is somewhat subjective, depending on the
people involved, but the following rules should be applied to ensure a consistent level of assessment is
being carried out across the organization.
This section provides guidance on the use of an energy source approach to identify hazards and clarifies
the differences between hazards and risks.
4.1. Hazards
Hazards are anything with the potential to result in harm such as injury, illness or damage.
NOTE: Through Commissioning, the absence of hydrocarbons and associated SIMOPs makes the process
of hazards identification and risk assessment less complex than Operational facilities.
Affected Hazards: The energy sources affected by the work, e.g. commissioning fluids and the system in
which they are transported and contained (e.g. operations equipment).
Applied Hazards: Uncontrolled or unwanted contact with an energy source that may occur while setting
up tools and equipment at the job site.
Ambient Hazards: The site conditions that may cause uncontrolled or unwanted contact with an energy
source (e.g. weather conditions or concurrent work).
Other considerations may include;
The worst reasonably credible consequences should be identified and recorded for each hazard. There may
be more than one consequence per hazard. Refer to Appendix C: Impact Assessment Table for guidance on
determining the level of impact for each of: Health and Safety, Environment or Financial consequences.
The worst reasonably credible impact, should anything go wrong (taken from Appendix C) AND the
probability of such an impact being realized (from Appendix D)
The result is a numerical risk ranking which must be recorded and approved according to the requirements
found in Appendix E.
For example, impact level F and probability level 4 gives a ranking of 6, which falls in Risk Area II, requiring
approval by Site Authority.
The HITRA Facilitator works systematically through the list of hazards to specify all the methods necessary
to control each of the associated risks. Existing controls are recorded along with any additional controls that
the team considers necessary to achieve a sufficient level of overall control. The hierarchy of controls
shown below should be used as a guide to confirm that a full range of options is considered.
Note: As consequences are deemed reasonably credible, then control measures should be
reasonably practicable. They should be chosen to adequately reduce the identified risk.
Two types of control measures should be identified from a Level 1 or Level 2 HITRA process:
Prerequisite controls that should be in effect prior to job execution. These may or may not include a
PTW.
Supplementary controls that should be applied during the job. Consideration should be given whether
supplementary controls introduce another hazard, while in effect.
Before the task is authorised to start, the person controlling the work activity should confirm that:
Controls Check
If any control measures are practicable to implement and would reduce the residual risk, they should be
recorded.
If further control measures cannot reduce the risk to a level that allows the task to be completed safely,
the HITRA team cannot authorize the task and should refer back to the work requester.
B. The HITRA team will document:
The assessment including all the identified control measures that should be in effect for the defined task.
The residual risk level for each identified hazard, with the highest residual risk defining the level of
approval. (Appendix E)
C. Agreement on risks and controls
Approval to proceed is sought when the HITRA team unanimously agrees that the hazards and risks are
controlled to the point that the task(s) can be conducted safely
D. Documentation and records
The HITRA team shall record the findings in the HITRA format included as Appendix G
E. Approval levels are explained in Appendix E.
Before work commences, the risk assessment shall have been approved based on the residual risk and
according to the approval matrix Appendix E.
The success of a HITRA depends on the effective communication of its results, so that people who execute
the job are fully aware of and thoroughly understand the hazards and the controls in effect.
The HITRA document is used as the basis for workforce communications so that all personnel concerned
have an understanding of the following:
Be satisfied that all the defined controls are actually in place and effective (even though the task has been
duly authorised)
Feel empowered (and obliged) to voice any concerns to their supervisor and not start the job if they do
not think it can be completed safely
6.1. General
All personnel involved in the HITRA process are trained on HITRA process & procedure and competent.
The competency of all relevant personnel shall be established during the planning process for a particular
risk assessment. The AA shall ensure that the personnel involved in the activity have the correct
competencies through training records or requesting individuals to produce relevant certification.
While it is simple, successful application of the HITRA method depends upon participants having industry
experience, different perspectives and understanding of relevant hazards, realistic consequences and a
hierarchy of risk reduction measures (hierarchy of controls is shown in Section 4.5 above).
All personnel involved in the HITRA process should complete the fundamental training module (Refer to
Section 6.2 below for links) which covers:
Definitions of hazard, consequence, probability, risk, control, hierarchy of controls and risk matrix

Before selection for training, Level 2 HITRA Facilitators should be able to demonstrate an extensive
knowledge of the work environment. They should be able to apply informed judgment when using checklists
and other available tools.
Personnel identified to be Level 2 facilitators, shall carry out further training to HITRA Level 2 facilitator level.
Personnel shall only take on the roles of authorised signatory or HITRA Facilitator after successfully
completing the supplementary training and competency assessment.
