HSSE Review of Projects (PHSSER)
This Group Defined ETP has been approved by the GVP Safety
and Operations for implementation across the BP Group.
BP GROUP
ENGINEERING TECHNICAL PRACTICES
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
Foreword
This Group Engineering Technical Practice ETP GP 48-01 was initially published in April, 2001. This
version incorporates the following changes:
• Modifications to align with framework and terminology of Group Defined Practices.

• Clarification of accountabilities and responsibilities for PHSSERs.
• Establishing the role of Project PHSSER Coordinator who has responsibility for
application of this GP within the operation.
These changes were so extensive that revisions have not been indicated in the margin as is normal
practice.
BP is committed to providing BP employees and those employees of other companies working on BP

premises with a safe and secure work environment in which no one is subject to unnecessary risk. BP
recognises that safe operations depend on projects getting the design right, providing reliable
equipment, and constructing facilities according to specifications. BP also relies on competent people
and an active HSSE culture. No project activity is so important that it cannot be done safely.
BP projects need to enable BP businesses to comply with a variety of HSSE requirements including
international treaties and conventions, country/state laws and regulations, regional directives, local
ordinances, lender agreements, industry commitments, and BP standards. Failure to meet these
requirements can adversely affect BP business, significantly damage BP reputation, and result in
severe civil, administrative, or criminal penalties.
In addition to fully complying with legal requirements, BP projects strive to reduce the environmental
and health impact of BP operations through proper design that ensures responsible use of natural
resources and the reduction of waste and emissions. These challenges apply to all parts of BP’s
business and to all facilities, plants, refineries and offices, wherever BP operates in the world.
This GP defines BP’s process for project HSSE reviews. The overall objective of the PHSSER process
is to ensure the client BP Operation that HSSE sensitive issues have been identified and the
appropriate project, HSSE, engineering, and operational systems have been or will be developed to
prevent, mitigate, or control the identified risks. Assurance is provided by reviewing projects at
various key stages in their development.
PHSSERs are an essential element of a project’s HSSE Plan and PHSSER reports are an important
element of the Decision Support Packages (DSP) required at each gate of the Capital Value Process
(CVP). PHSSERs heighten the awareness of HSSE risks and help make HSSE an integral part of the
gated decision and approval processes for projects within CVP.

1. Scope
a. This GP defines the process and detailed procedures for the conduct of Project HSSE
Reviews (PHSSERs).
b. The PHSSER process consists of up to seven formal reviews scheduled near the conclusion
of each CVP stage and major project milestones in the Execute stage.
c. These reviews are conducted by a team of specialists, independent of the project, whose
objectives are to verify that the project has identified and fully addressed all aspects of
HSSE and process safety relevant to the project and CVP stage.
d. This GP applies to major projects as required by E&P Major Projects Common Process
(MPcp) and R&M Projects Common Process (Pcp) [15]. Application to other projects and
modifications to existing facilities is to be defined by the segment engineering authority
(EA).
2. Normative references
None.
3. Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this GP, the following terms and definitions apply:
Action plan
A formal, documented plan prepared by the BP Operations team in response to each accepted
PHSSER recommendation developed by the PHSSER Team. The action plan describes the action to
be taken, person accountable, and required completion date.
Actions (high priority)

High priority actions are those that need to be completed before a project can proceed to the next stage
of CVP or the next major milestone in the Execute stage.
Asset leverage early risk team (ALERT)

A structured and facilitated session designed to discuss the risk and uncertainties of a project. ALERT
is usually conducted in the Appraise stage of project development to enable early management
intervention and to promote development of effective risk management and opportunity capture plans.
Appraisal plan
The appraisal plan is a formal document that outlines scope of activities and estimated expenditure in
the Appraise and Select stages. The focus of the appraisal plan is to enable an informed decision on
project viability and concept selection.
Basis of design (BOD)

The BOD document defines the respective technical basis for the project. It represents conversion of
business requirements (given in the statement of requirements) into a technical basis for the project.
Biodiversity
Variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic
ecosystems, and ecological complexes of which they are part. This includes diversity within species,
between species, and of ecosystems, It is also about people and our need for food security, medicines,
fresh air and water, shelter, and a clean and healthy environment in which to live.

5 June 2008 GP 48-01
BP Operations
BP Strategic Performance Units, Business Units, projects, facilities, sites and operations.
Brownfield
Site previously and/or currently developed for which development activities have substantially
changed the natural character of the site. Brownfields include industrial sites or complexes and other
sites with the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
Brownfields are also characterised by an existing infrastructure that will interface with the project.
Capital value process (CVP)

BP gated business process used to frame its business decisions. CVP is a structured and integrated
approach to project selection, development, and execution that results in enhanced capital productivity.
CVP provides a dual focus of “choosing the right project” and “developing and delivering the project
right”.
Compliance matrix
A systematic method to identify:
a. Applicable HSSE regulatory, contractual, or other agreement requirements.

b. Required tasks to meet the applicable requirements.
c. Accountable person to complete the task.
d. Operating control (e.g., operating procedure or document that provides details on
successfully completing the task).
Construction HSSE plan

The construction HSSE plan outlines the HSSE organisation, policies, procedures, etc. that will be
implemented to manage HSSE risks associated with construction activities.
Constructability review
Constructability reviews are a systematic review of the project with the goal to optimise the use of
construction knowledge and experience in planning, engineering, design, fabrication, and installation
to achieve overall project and safety objectives. These reviews typically include items, such as:
a. Equipment and personnel access to the work site.

b. Equipment layout.
c. Seasonal construction considerations.
d. Tie in points.
e. Installation sequence.
f. Fabrication methodology.
g. Energy isolation.
h. Pre-shutdown and post-shutdown work.
Decision support package (DSP)

A supporting element of the CVP process, the DSP is a compilation of key project information and is
used to document project team recommendations and their rationale to the approving authority to
support the case for proceeding through the CVP stage gate. A key element of the DSP is the business
case, that may include as attachments an “authority to negotiate” or a financial memorandum.

Entity (BP entity or Operating entity)

Whilst these terms are not used in this GP they have a specific meaning in OMS. If this GP refers to
BP Operation it should be interpreted as BP Entity or Operating Entity when working to OMS.
Environmental impact assessment (EIA)/Environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA)

A formal process used to predict environmental and social consequences of the stages of any
development project. A process that attempts to identify, predict, and assess the likely consequences of
proposed development activities. EIA (or ESIA) ensures that potential problems are foreseen and
addressed at an early stage in project planning and design.
Environmental identification (ENVID)

A structured process for identifying environmental concerns.
Exclusion zones
A perimeter established for an operating site or project in which non-essential personnel are evacuated
during periods of higher risk operation, such as startups, shutdowns, and process upsets.
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)

A hazard identification technique in which known failure modes of components or features of a
system are considered in turn and undesired outcomes are noted.
Finding
A finding is made if there is an apparent gap between practice and any BP standards, practices,
expectations, regulations, or site procedures.
Front end loading (FEL)

FEL comprises the activities that occur prior to sanction that are intended to fully define requirements
to be performed.
Gatekeeper
Designated individual responsible and accountable for the decision made at the end of each CVP
stage. This person also secures resources and funds for the next CVP stage of a project once it is
approved or sanctioned to move forward.
Greenfield
Land not previously developed beyond that of agriculture or forestry use. Virgin land and land on
which no urban development has previously taken place. Often is on the periphery of an existing
builtup area or marine areas that have not been subject to offshore oil or gas development. Areas that
lack infrastructure, such as water, power, pipelines, and roads. Another characteristic is that a
greenfield site will require development of the organisation and HSSE infrastructure to support
operation of the facility.
Guidance on certification (GOC)

GOC defines procedural and certification requirements for inspection and test activities for fabrication,
construction, precommissioning and commissioning, leading to “handover” of “works” to the
operating authority.
Hazard
Condition or practice with the potential to cause harm to people, the environment, property, or BP’s
reputation.

5 June 2008 GP 48-01
Hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis [12]

A systematic, qualitative technique to identify and evaluate process hazards and potential operating
problems. The methodology uses a series of guidewords to examine deviations from normal process
conditions.
HAZID
A structured study performed on the process, typically early in design, to identify process hazards.
HAZID studies are very broad in scope. The HAZID is sometimes called a preliminary hazard
analysis.
Hazard/risk register [5]

A tool (spreadsheet or database) containing risks identified for a project, with a description of each
risk, documentation of information relevant to ownership, assessment, and project response of each
risk, and the appropriate level of safeguards to manage risks. The register should include significant
hazards identified by the initial risk assessment/opportunities during the Appraise stage, Major
Accident Risk (MAR) studies, project hazard analyses, and other project HSSE studies.
Heath impact assessment (HIA)

HIA is a combination of procedures, methods, and tools by which a policy, program, or project may be
judged as to potential effects on the health of a population and the distribution of those effects within
the population.
Health risk assessment (HRA)

HRA, in an occupational context, considers the ways in which the work environment and actual tasks
to be performed potentially affect health of workers. HRA may need to cover individual cases or may
be generic for a group of people doing the same tasks in the same place. HRA should continue for the
life of the project and needs to be appropriate for the degree and complexity of the activities being
performed.
Inherently safer design (ISD) [9]

ISD is the design principle, the intent of which is described in GP 48-04, paragraph 5.1.a as follows:
“The intent of inherently safer design (ISD) is to eliminate the hazard completely or reduce its
magnitude sufficiently to eliminate the need for elaborate safety systems and procedures. Furthermore,
this hazard elimination or reduction would be accomplished by means that were inherent in the
process and thus permanent and inseparable from it.”
Job safety analysis (JSA)/Job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA)

JSA and JSEA are techniques used to identify actual or potential safety/health (JSA) and
environmental hazards (JSEA) associated with significant activities of a particular job. Once these
conditions are identified, recommendations are developed and documented to provide workers an alert
to safety/health and environmental hazards.
Layers of protection analysis (LOPA) [13]

Semi-quantitative method to assess adequacy of protection layers and determine performance
requirements for SIS.
Life cycle assessment

A technique for assessing plant and hardware from the time of inception through design, construction,
operation, and decommissioning. Also the same period of time from inception, through production,
marketing, sale, and eventual disposal of products, including their reuse or recycling.

subcontractors have been created by repeated subcontracting of the work.
Major accident hazard (MAH)

MAH is a hazard capable of causing a major accident, as defined in GP 48-50 [14]. MAH for PHSSER
purposes include:
a. Loss of containment of hydrocarbons and other hazardous materials.

b. Logistics involving marine and helicopter operations.
c. Structural failures and heavy lifting operations.
d. Extreme weather conditions and earthquakes.
e. Security, including terrorism, sabotage and theft.
Major accident risk (MAR) [14]

The combination of likelihood and consequence of major accidents, as defined in GP 48-50. This is
usually expressed in graphical format as an F-N curve for risks to people and as an F-E curve for risk
to the environment.
Major project
Any MPcp or Pcp project with a potential capital investment above a specified monetary threshold
(BP net) or of strategic importance.
Major projects common process (MPcp)

An E&P Segment process designed to support major projects in pursuit of the goals to create

Nonessential personnel
Personnel who are not identified by the site or project as essential personnel that need to be onsite
during higher risk transient operations (i.e., startups, shutdowns, upsets, and emergencies) to ensure
the safety of the operation.
PHSSER authority
Subject matter expert on project HSSE reviews identified by BP Operations leader to be the technical
authority on matters associated with implementation and compliance with this GP.
Pre-mobilization construction review

A review conducted prior to a project or contractor mobilising to the field to commence work. The
review examines project and contractor preparedness for construction, including a review of the
construction HSSE plan that describes the HSSE organisation, HSSE procedures, policies, etc., that
will be implemented to manage the construction activities and HSSE risks.

5 June 2008 GP 48-01
Pre-startup safety review (PSSR)

A system to confirm, before the introduction of hazardous materials, that new or modified facilities
comply with design specifications; adequate procedures are in place; appropriate hazard analyses or
management of change reviews have been conducted; and training of affected personnel has been
completed.
Process hazard analysis (PHA)

A structured review of the process to identify potential undesired events that could lead to a hazard,
and the analysis of the mechanisms by which these undesired events could occur, with the intent of
preventing the event or reducing its consequences. PHA is typically used to reference the hazard
identification study of an operating facility.
Process safety
Process safety is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of hazardous operating systems
and processes by applying good design principles, engineering and operating practices. Process safety
deals with the prevention and control of incidents that have potential to release hazardous materials or
energy. Such incidents can cause toxic effects, fire, or explosion and could ultimately result in serious
injuries, property damage, lost production, and environmental impact.

5. General application
a. Projects shall embed HSSE principles of this GP throughout project appraisal, selection,
design, and execution.
This enhances HSSE performance of the project and its subsequent operation and
enables HSSE risks to be resolved at the most effective point in a project lifecycle.
Page 14 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
b. BP Operations leaders shall have accountability for implementation of this GP within BP

Operations.
c. Each BP Operation leader shall appoint a person who will have responsibility for
application of this GP within the Operation. In this GP this role will be referenced as the
project PHSSER coordinator.
d. BP Operations leaders shall appoint a PHSSER authority to function as the subject matter
expert and technical authority on matters associated with implementation and compliance
with this GP.
PHSSER authority may be appointed at segment, SPU, or BU levels, depending on
what is practical.
e. Each BP Operation leader, with the guidance of the appropriate BP Operation EA, should
define a strategy for application of this GP.
1. Strategy should also address projects that fall outside the scope of this GP and define
the process for HSSE review of those projects.
This recognises that project management framework for smaller projects can differ
between sites and provides an option for sites to develop a strategy that consolidates
or simplifies some of the formal HSSE reviews.
2. Included in the strategy should be a definition of how such a site will provide HSSE
assurance for simple plant and/or asset changes. This strategy should take into
account the ability of the site MOC and PSSR process to ensure that the full range of
HSSE issues, including potential new HSSE compliance obligations, are addressed.
3. The appropriate BP Operations EA is responsible for approval of the strategy and
should ensure that the strategy is appropriately applied.
4. The appropriate BP Operations EA should consult with the PHSSER authority, as
necessary, regarding application of this GP and development of the strategy for
project HSSE reviews to ensure that potential HSSE risks are taken into
consideration.
f. BP Operations leaders shall apply this GP to ensure;
1. Full understanding of HSSE hazard potential so that HSSE risks are effectively
managed.
2. Applicable HSSE compliance requirements and BP standards are met to deliver
acceptable HSSE performance.
g. Each BP Operation leader should decide how to best apply the PHSSER process to account
for unique circumstances of the project.
h. HSSE compliance requirements for projects shall be reviewed in the chosen PHSSER
reviews.
6. PHSSER management
6.1. Review initiation

a. BP Operations leader shall assign a project PHSSER coordinator who shall be responsible
for ensuring that the PHSSER process is properly executed for each stage review.
Principal objectives of each PHSSER stage differ, and the coordinator of each stage
may be different. For example, a project HSSE manager or EA may be the
coordinator of the pre-sanction PHSSER. The Operations manager may be the
coordinator of the pre-startup PHSSER and the appropriate EA for the Operate
PHSSER.
Page 15 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
b. Project PHSSER coordinator should consult with the appropriate BP Operations EA,
appoint a PHSSER leader, and ensure sufficient independence of the review team.
c. Project team shall be accountable for providing sufficient lead time for the PHSSER leader
to prepare and for supporting availability of adequate resources necessary for an effective
PHSSER.
6.2. Terms of reference

a. PHSSERs shall be performed against an agreed terms of reference that defines scope of
work, study objectives, time scale, and team members.
Typical contents of terms of reference are shown in Annex D.
b. The project PHSSER coordinator and PHSSER leader shall approve the terms of reference
for the PHSSER.
6.3. PHSSER team

a. PHSSER leader and PHSSER team membership shall be selected in accordance with
requirements of each review stage and nature of the project.
b. PHSSER team members shall be independent of the project to provide an objective and
comprehensive HSSE review.
Representatives of the project being reviewed are not part of the PHSSER team, but
their participation and sharing of information during the review are critical for an
effective review.
c. Project PHSSER coordinator, in conjunction with the PHSSER leader, shall select the
PHSSER team. The team should be as small as possible but shall be consistent with
possession of the following expertise:
1. A full understanding of the development and its technology.
2. A comprehensive appreciation of the host site and its existing activities.
3. A full awareness of the BP Group, industry, regulatory, and HSSE contractual
expectations.
4. Sufficient expertise, as listed in Annex B, to conduct a credible and reliable HSSE
review.
If practical, some continuity of the review team from one stage to the next is
desirable.
Review members typically include project management, an operations
representative, and HSSE specialist(s).
d. Team members should be selected with the required expertise to support the terms of
reference.
The required review team is generally different for each stage review. For example,
the detailed engineering PHSSER requires construction safety expertise; whereas
the pre-startup PHSSER requires commissioning, startup, and operations expertise.
e. Project representatives should provide the PHSSER team with logistics, information
gathering, and scheduling of review sessions and interviews.
f. For developments with high environmental sensitivity, the PHSSER team should include
the proper BP environmental expertise and discipline balance to confirm that
environmental, regulatory, HSSE contractual, and reputation risks are being effectively
managed consistent with BP environmental requirements. [6]
g. The function of the PHSSER team is to identify potential problems and shortcomings.

5 June 2008 GP 48-01
For projects in some regions of the world, the PHSSER team may need to challenge
the project whether local laws and regulations are sufficient or whether
international standards should be applied.
h. PHSSER team should not develop detailed technical solutions to any problems that it
identifies.
i. PHSSER leader should consult with appropriate specialists outside of the core PHSSER
team if the experience of individuals on the review team is not sufficient to address an
issue and specialist advice is needed.
j. PHSSER team members may be contractors/consultants if BP expertise is not available.
6.4. PHSSER leader

a. Project PHSSER coordinator shall select a PHSSER leader who is:
1. Independent of the project and not directly associated with eventual operation of the
development.
It is desirable for the leader to be familiar with the type of facility/process.
2. Trained and/or practiced in the project HSSE review process.
3. On the “list” of PHSSER leaders.
4. An employee of BP.
5. Capable of communicating critical findings to appropriate level of management.
b. Project PHSSER coordinator should consult with the PHSSER authority to confirm the
leader is trained and has skills and competencies to conduct the review.
A core competency of a PHSSER leader is to have the interpersonal skills to lead a
multidiscipline team to achieve objectives of the study.
c. Before the team is convened, the PHSSER leader should formulate a topic listing to act as
the framework of review. This listing should take into account:
1. PHSSER terms of reference.
2. Nature and circumstances of the project.
3. Stage objectives listed in Clauses 8 through 12 and detailed in Annex A.
A well researched project specific topic listing is essential for a good quality HSSE
review. Team activities and supplemental guidewords, which can be used as a
starting point for preparation of topic listings for each review stage, are included in
Annex A.PHSSER leader has the flexibility to adjust review topics to consider
unique HSSE aspects of the project and to ensure an effective review and alignment
with the status of the project.
d. PHSSER leader shall be accountable for:
1. Delivery of a quality PHSSER review.
2. Achieving the objectives outlined in the PHSSER terms of reference.
6.5. Information requirements

a. Project PHSSER coordinator and the PHSSER leader should agree on information
(including pre-read) that will be available at the PHSSER sessions.
Guidance for typical information that might be needed at each HSSE review stage is
included in Annex A.
b. Project team should make information available for PHSSER review.
Page 17 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
c. If key information is not available, PHSSER leader and team shall assess the importance of
the information to the integrity of the PHSSER and decide whether to issue a
recommendation to develop the information or postpone the PHSSER until the information
is provided.
6.6. Notification for HSSE non-compliance

If in the course of a PHSSER review the PHSSER team identifies a potential non-compliance
with legal requirements or HSSE contractual commitments, the PHSSER leader shall promptly
notify the BP Operation leader and BP Legal.
6.7. PHSSER stage reports

a. Upon completion of each project HSSE review, findings and recommendations shall be
formally recorded in a written report addressed to the client (normally the BP Operations
leader) and copied to project team and key stakeholders.
b. Each final project HSSE review report shall be subject to approval by the PHSSER leader
and sent to an agreed distribution list.
c. Project PHSSER coordinator should provide guidance on distribution of reports within
their BP Operation.
d. Report should be prepared as a resource for the project team and the next stage review
team.
e. PHSSER report shall document scope of the review, project systems, and plans that
address topic list items to an acceptable level, conclusions of review, findings, and
recommendations of the review.
f. Report should summarize the status of the project at the time of the review. Refer to
Annex C.
g. PHSSER reports shall be considered final only after the PHSSER leader and the project
PHSSER coordinator have agreed upon final BP Operations responses in the form of an
action plan. The appropriate BP Operations EA should be consulted for final resolution if
an action plan cannot be agreed upon between the PHSSER leader and the project
PHSSER coordinator.
h. Stage reports shall be produced in time to allow recommendations to be addressed before
the next review stage is initiated.
6.8. PHSSER findings

a. PHSSER team shall prioritize PHSSER recommendations based on the targeted timing to
complete the action item.
PHSSER findings may also be prioritized on the relative severity of the finding
b. Project team shall develop a project response to each accepted PHSSER recommendation
in the format of an action plan that describes actions to be taken, person accountable, and
required completion date.
c. Project PHSSER coordinator and the PHSSER leader shall agree on the action plan.
d. BP Operation leader shall endorse the agreed action plan and followup with the project
team. The BP Operations leader shall be accountable for ensuring that actions are
completed by the required completion date and are fully documented.
e. If an action plan cannot be agreed between the PHSSER Leader and the Project PHSSER
coordinator, appropriate BP Operations EA shall be consulted for final resolution.
f. High priority actions shall be resolved before a project can proceed to the next stage of
CVP or the next major project milestone in the Execute stage.
Page 18 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
g. BP Operations leader shall engage the appropriate BP Operations EA and PHSSER leader
to verify completion of high priority actions from the PHSSER review to ensure that the
identified issues have been adequately addressed.
h. Findings and conclusions of each project HSSE review shall be made available as input to
the gatekeeper so that the status of HSSE issues is taken into consideration in the decision
whether the project is ready to proceed to the next CVP stage.
i. PHSSER recommendations subsequently rejected by the project should be subject to
approval by the appropriate BP Operations EA and the rationale for rejection should be
documented.
j. Projects shall document completion of all agreed upon actions. Developing a plan for the
action does not constitute completion of the action.
k. Actions shall be reviewed in the subsequent stage PHSSERs to confirm appropriateness of
the resolution.
l. Subsequent PHSSER teams should review previous PHSSER reports to:
1. Ensure continuity of the review process.
2. Be able to ascertain relevant developments since the last review.
3. Confirm that agreed upon actions have been adequately closed out.
m. PHSSER leader should consult with previous PHSSER leader to clarify that actions have
achieved the intent of the previous PHSSER team.
n. Prior to startup, the BP Operation leader shall review PHSSER actions and confirm closure
of those actions required to be completed prior to startup.
6.9. HSSE stage review records

a. Each project HSSE stage review should include, as a part of its review record, a list of
documents examined by the PHSSER team, including:
1. Drawings.
2. Specifications.
3. Calculations.
4. Hazard and risk evaluations.
5. HSSE plans and procedures.
b. This list should reference document numbers and where the documents can be found in
project files or handover dossier.
The full portfolio of project HSSE review reports and associated working files is an
essential element of the project handover dossier.
7. PHSSER process
7.1. PHSSERs and CVP

a. The PHSSER process consists of up to seven formal reviews scheduled near the conclusion
of each CVP stage and major project milestones in the Execute stage as indicated in
Figure 1 and Annex A.
b. The full scope of PHSSER issues, detailed in the seven PHSSER stages, and relevant to the
project, shall be covered in the PHSSER reviews of the project, unless the BP Operation
leader has obtained and documented the approval of the appropriate BP Operation EA.
Page 19 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
c. The principal objectives from Annex A for each stage are included in Clauses 8 through
12. The study objectives can be accomplished by performing team activities detailed in
Annex A.
d. The objectives, list of team activities, and supplementary guidewords provided in Annex A
are the framework for the review process.
The scale, circumstances, and HSSE impact potential of projects vary greatly, and
the review strategy adopted for a particular project should acknowledge the nature
of the development concerned. It is acceptable for review stages to be combined into
a fewer number of reviews if the nature of the project warrants and if the full scope
of PHSSER issues are addressed.
7.2. PHSSERs and timing of the project HAZOP studies

Timing of HAZOP studies should be declared in the project HSSE strategy and presented in the
Select stage PHSSER. Subsequently, if endorsed, timing intentions should be declared at the
end of Select peer review, together with the projected impact this will have on FEL.
Declaration of timing intentions for the project HAZOP allows both the peer review
and the gatekeeper to have the opportunity to build this into their early expectations
for FEL for the sanction case.
7.3. PHSSERs and MAR [14]

a. GP 48-50 requires that certain activities and projects be assessed for potential MAR.
b. The output from the project MAR assessment should be used at the Appraise and Select
stages, and major accident potential should be a significant factor in the identification and
selection of project options.
c. If the lowest MAR option has not been selected, the reasons for this should be justified and
documented.
d. At the end of the Select stage, the project should be below the “Group Reporting Line” as
defined for the project in accordance with GP 48-50.
e. During Define and Execute, there will be opportunities to further reduce MAR as decisions
are made on detailed aspects of design and operation.
8. Appraise stage
8.1. PHSSER objectives

1. To confirm that significant HSSE issues which could affect the viability of the potential
project have been identified and that the information required to assess risks, liabilities,
regulatory compliance, HSSE contractual commitments, and adverse impacts is either
available or measures are in place to obtain it. Confirm that HSSE risks (including
MAR) are taken into account in the evaluation of project options.
2. To confirm that an adequate risk management plan is in place which will assure
compliance with regulations and BP policies and protect BP reputation.
8.2. PHSSER strategy

It is an option to combine the Appraise stage PHSSER with other project reviews
such as the CVP Appraise stage peer review or Appraise ALERT session.
a. If the Appraise stage PHSSER is combined with other project reviews, these reviews shall
cover HSSE topics outlined in Annex A for the Appraise stage.
b. The review team shall include members with appropriate HSSE expertise.
Page 20 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
c. Findings, recommendations, and project responses from these reviews shall be fully
documented, tracked to closure, and maintained in project files subject to subsequent
PHSSER reviews.
The agreed upon terms of reference may reduce the scope of the Appraise stage
PHSSER if the host site is established and BP has previously used the technology.
9. Select stage

1. To confirm that actions from the Appraise PHSSER have been closed or are being
suitably progressed. Review options evaluated by the project and confirm that HSSE and
ISD [9] have been taken into consideration in the selection process.
2. To confirm that all HSSE concerns relating to the characteristics of the full lifecycle of
the project, novel technology, and nature of the location have been identified.
3. To verify that processes are in place to ensure that all applicable regulations, HSSE
commitments in contractual agreements, BP standards, BP requirements, and BP HSSE
expectations have been identified.
4. To confirm that an adequate HSSE plan has been established.
5. To review the potential MAR of the selected project option, and confirm that an
adequate plan has been established to eliminate or mitigate MAR.
6. To confirm that process safety studies, including a HAZOP strategy, have been defined
and that it is appropriate for the project.
7. To confirm that the project has established processes to achieve compliance with IM
requirements.

PHSSER should take place near the end of the Select stage after selection of the project option
and location and in time for key findings to be available to the Select peer review.
10. Define stage - Pre-sanction PHSSER

1. To confirm that actions from the previous PHSSER have been closed or are being
suitably progressed. Review any significant changes to the project since the previous
stage for potential HSSE concerns that were not addressed by the previous PHSSER.
2. To verify that HSSE studies, including specialist reviews, have been satisfactorily
addressed and followed up.
3. To ensure that HSSE related aspects of engineering designs eliminate or mitigate MAR;
meet or exceed BP and regulatory requirements; and meet HSSE commitments in
EIAs/ESIAs and contractual agreements; and that satisfactory project codes and
standards and design philosophies have been established.
4. To confirm that IM/engineering assurance processes are in place, including processes for
competency assessment of engineering design contractors.
5. To confirm that MOC procedures are in place.
6. To ensure that documentation requirements have been addressed.
7. To verify that resourcing and training strategies have been established.
Page 21 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
8. To confirm that project plans are in place to ensure HSSE preparedness for
commencement of construction.

a. The pre-sanction PHSSER should be initiated after completion of the primary part of the
project HAZOP studies (i.e., on “approved for design” P&IDs covering the work described
in the approved statement of requirements) and near the end of Define to confirm
satisfactory completion of the HAZOP, assess its quality, and review impact of major
findings.
This recognises that there may be a need for multiple HAZOP studies extending into
project execution. For novel technology or if a contractor switch between Define
and Execute is planned, there can be a case for delaying formal line by line HAZOP
until Execute. Similarly, for vendor packages in which detail is not available, those
sections of the HAZOP may be delayed until Execute.
b. Depending on the timing of the project initial mobilisation to the field and schedule for the
pre-mobilization construction review, the pre-sanction or detailed engineering PHSSER
shall examine the project planning and/or the results of the site pre-mobilization
construction review.
Some projects begin their construction activity well before the detailed design has been
completed. In such cases, the detailed engineering PHSSER can be conducted in several
steps or this portion of the review can be performed at the pre-sanction stage PHSSER.
The PHSSER would confirm that the project addressed HSSE issues related to field
mobilisation prior to mobilisation.
If the principles of individual system design are fully defined before the project is
sanctioned and if those who developed the proposal are to be directly involved in detailed
design, some elements of the detailed engineering PHSSER can be satisfactorily
undertaken at the pre-sanction PHSSER.
11. Execute stage
11.1. Detailed engineering PHSSER
11.1.1. PHSSER objectives

1. To confirm that actions from the previous PHSSER have been closed or are being
suitably progressed. Review any significant changes to the project since the previous
stage for potential HSSE concerns that were not addressed by the previous PHSSER.
2. To confirm that appropriate HSSE studies (including HAZOPs) are completed within the
prescribed times, their recommendations are being tracked, and actions potentially
affecting the design have been completed and are incorporated into the project design.
3. To confirm that MOC procedures are being applied and appropriate hazard review of
changes has been instigated to maintain HSSE integrity.
4. To confirm that a plan is in place and is being implemented for conformance with IM
requirements, including verification that engineering controls and checks are in place.
5. To confirm that an HSSE management system, including an HSSE plan, is being
implemented effectively to manage HSSE risks during construction.
6. To review the products of detailed engineering to confirm that that they are appropriate
for construction and that they incorporate features for prevention, reduction, and
mitigation of HSSE risks (including MAR).
Page 22 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
7. To verify the project and operation planning for startup, including: development of
procedures; training and competence; precommissioning and commissioning activities;
and compliance with regulations and HSSE commitments in contractual agreements.
11.1.2. PHSSER strategy

a. Detailed engineering PHSSER should take place towards completion of detailed
engineering around the time that AFC P&IDs and cause and effect drawings are issued and
before significant above ground construction activities commence at site.
b. On smaller projects in which detailed engineering is sufficiently advanced prior to
sanction, this PHSSER can be combined with the pre-sanction stage PHSSER.
Detailed engineering and construction PHSSERs provide an early look at
installation, startup planning and preparation, and key decisions on how HSSE
aspects of the project will be managed by the site, including which HSSE regulations
apply in the startup phase. This helps avoid surprises in the late Execute stage,
which could delay startup.
11.2. Construction PHSSER

1. To confirm that actions from the previous PHSSER and other HSSE studies, including
HAZOP have been closed or are being suitably progressed.
2. To verify that project integrity management processes, including engineering and quality
controls, are sufficient to deliver plant and/or asset integrity.
3. To confirm that the MOC procedure is being applied.
4. To confirm that construction and installation workforce training and competency
assessment processes are in place.
5. To verify that an HSSE management system, including a construction HSSE plan is in
place, has been implemented, and assures HSSE performance during construction.
6. To review project’s and operation’s plans for precommissioning, commissioning,
installation, and pre-startup; and progress on training, development/competency
assurance, and update or development of operating procedures. Verify that an
appropriate programme of safety reviews has been established and is progressing.
Confirm that appropriate interface procedures and processes are in place for any project
activities to be performed within or close to existing operations.
7. To review progress on the site HSSE management systems, HSSE procedures, and
development/update of the HSSE compliance matrix.

a. PHSSER should be conducted during the construction phase, typically soon after
commencement of significant piping installation.
b. PHSSER should be conducted at construction site.
For projects in which the majority of construction takes place during a turnaround,
it may be practical to combine aspects of the construction PHSSER with the pre-
startup PHSSER.
For offshore projects, construction and installation can be separate and sequenced
activities involving different workforces, sites, and HSSE risks.
Page 23 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
11.3. Pre-startup (prior to introduction of hazardous materials)

1. To verify that the project, operations, and site are fully implementing a robust process to
confirm preparedness and obtain approvals for startup, including confirmation that all
HSSE issues and actions have been satisfactorily addressed, completed, and
documented.
2. To verify integrity of design has been maintained and that deviations from design have
been satisfactorily addressed and will not compromise HSSE performance. Confirm that
processes are in place to maintain plant integrity in operations in accordance with IM
requirements.
3. To verify that precommissioning and commissioning have been satisfactorily completed
sufficiently for the introduction of hazardous materials.
4. To confirm that commissioning and operational personnel are adequately trained,
competent, equipped and that necessary procedures are available.
5. To confirm that BP Operations has made adequate preparations for startup.
6. To confirm that emergency response plans and procedures have been established and
tested.
7. To confirm that notifications and requirements for regulatory and HSSE contractual
compliance have been completed and handed over to operations for ongoing
compliance.

a. The terms of reference for the pre-startup PHSSER shall include a review of the PSSR.
b. PHSSER should confirm the adequacy of the PSSR but not duplicate the detailed review.
For major projects it may be appropriate for there to be at least two phases to the
pre-startup review. In such cases, the first phase takes place early enough (typically
2 mo to 3 mo and sometimes longer for greenfield developments) before the
introduction of hazardous materials. This allows time for any gaps in training,
documentation, etc., to be addressed. The second phase is immediately prior to the
introduction of hazardous materials. This is to confirm that necessary preparations
are complete and that previous findings have been closed out.
For offshore projects, it may be appropriate to conduct the pre-startup PHSSER in
two phases, with the initial phase before the sail of the rig and the second phase
prior to introduction of hazardous materials.
A series of pre-startup PHSSERs may be undertaken for projects to suit the
commissioning timetable, if some elements are to be started while others are still
being constructed.
12. Operate stage

1. To verify that HSSE performance of the operating facility meets the design intent and
BP, regulatory, and HSSE contractual compliance requirements.
2. To confirm that the operating facility has adopted and embedded HSSE design
philosophies, safeguards, processes, and tasks established by the project for ongoing
HSSE performance of the operating facility and to meet regulatory and contractual
obligations.
Page 24 of 65
5 June 2008 GP 48-01
3. To ensure that HSSE lessons learned from the execution of the project and early
operation of the plant and/or asset are captured and shared across the BP Group.

a. The Operate stage PHSSER should take place within 12 mo of project startup.
The Operate PHSSER can be combined with the CVP Operate stage peer review as
long as HSSE issues are incorporated into the peer review agenda and the peer
review includes members with appropriate HSSE expertise.
b. Lifecycle considerations shall be discussed as a part of each project HSSE review.
There is a risk for long term costs and potential HSSE liabilities well beyond the life
of the facility, unless projects consider the full lifecycle of the facility/site in project
design and planning for HSSE.
c. HSSE reviews shall be conducted on projects that decommission a facility.
CVP does not explicitly address, as a final stage of CVP, the end of lifecycle
decommissioning and closure of a facility. Decommissioning is typically handled as
a separate project in CVP. Although detailed objectives and activities in Annex A
specifically do not address decommissioning projects, the principles and framework
for HSSE reviews established by this GP should be applied. PHSSERs should ensure
that all HSSE issues are identified, plans are established for mitigating HSSE risks
during decommissioning, and programmes are developed for managing long term
HSSE concerns. Further advice can be obtained from the PHSSER authority who is
a resource for guidance on these studies, as well as other specialised project HSSE
reviews.

Note: Timing of the HAZOP study
1. The pre-sanction PHSSER should be initiated after completion of the primary part of the project HAZOP studies (i.e., on ”approved for design” P&IDs covering the work described in the
approved statement of sequirements), near the end of Define to confirm satisfactory completion of the HAZOP, assess its quality, and review impact of major findings. This recognises that
there may be a need for multiple HAZOP studies extending into project execution. For novel technology or if a contractor switch between Define and Execute is planned, there can be a case
for delaying formal line by line HAZOP until Execute. Similarly, for vendor packages if detail is not available, those sections of the HAZOP may be delayed until Execute.

9 Designates recommended PHSSER team composition. Additional specialists may be required, depending on the nature of the
project.
Notes:
1. PHSSER team members should be independent of the project. An individual may have expertise that fulfils more than one role.
The table does not list project team membership that should attend to support PHSSER.
2. See 6.4 for PHSSER leader competency requirements. It is typical to employ a different PHSSER leader for each PHSSER stage.
3. Duties of the scribe could be distributed to one or more team members.
4. HSSE specialist should have working knowledge of the technology and host site regulatory regime. The HSSE specialist could be
a health, safety, security or environmental specialist, depending on project specific issues. More than one specialist may be
required to ensure that HSSE issues are covered. Specialists may be required for projects that operate in HSSE sensitive regions
or have major HSSE risk.
5. Process engineer should be familiar with the technology used.
6. Operations representative should be independent of the host site.
7. Appraise stage PHSSER can be conducted as part of the Appraise peer review or ALERT session provided that team includes
team members with appropriate HSSE expertise. BP Operation should consider engaging a highly experienced team to set up the
project for success.
8. Operate stage HSSE review can be conducted as part of the Operate peer review provided that the peer review team is
independent of project team and includes team members with appropriate HSSE expertise. The project process engineer should
attend the Operate stage PHSSER.
9. It may be appropriate to include the appropriate BP Operation EA as team member to ensure that integrity management issues are
covered. Appropriate technical specialists may include representatives from partners, contractors, vendors, and licensors.
10. For pre-startup stage, PHSSER leader should be independent of both the project and the host site.
11. Pre-startup PHSSER team shall ensure that QA/QC issues are adequately covered.
12. Project management on the PHSSER team should be independent of the project being reviewed.
13. A security specialist should be assigned to Appraise, Pre sanction, Construction and Pre-startup PHSSER teams for greenfield
projects with significant security risks. For all other projects, project security risks should be agreed upon between project
leadership and the appropriate security advisor, prior to the Appraise PHSSER. Security input, if required, should only be
provided by a security specialist.
14. The list of typical PHSSER team members does not include the project team members who also need to support the PHSSER, but
are not considered members of the PHSSER team.
