4. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES

4.1 Refueling

Refueling is a high-risk activity and the potential for spills and leaks to occur is high.
Pollution prevention is dependent on the strict adherence to the following
procedures:
• Refueling personnel will be subject to specific training on appropriate refueling
techniques minimizing the potential for environmental impact. This training will ideally
be a practical on-hands session.

• Spill Kits, absorbent granules, sand bags or any other appropriate spill control
equipment will be carried and be readily available at all times during refueling

• It is preferable for all equipment to be refueled at a common designated area with

appropriate secondary c o n t a i n m e n t and spilled material recovery i n place.
• No smoking will take place within 50m of the refueling activity

• The equipment and fuel bowser will preferably be parked in an area that is level
and at a safe distance - >50m - from drains and watercourses (including dry
watercourses)
• Refueling line will be kept as short as possible

• Drip tray/plastic sheeting is to be placed under discharge nozzle

• Fuel pumping will be ceased prior to a potential fuel overflow

• The refueling process will be attended to at all times by appropriately trained

Responsible Persons and no delivery valves will be jammed open

• Delivery hoses will be turned off and locked when not in use

• Hoses and valves will undergo regular, and recorded, maintenance checks

• All leaks and spillsIncident

will be Reporting
addressedProcedure
in compliance with the Project , or CRCC
Incident Reporting & Investigation and Spill Response procedures.

4.2 Storage

The avoidance of environmental damage, as a result of the inadequate storage or

misuse of any substance hazardous to health, will be ensured through strict adherence
to the relevant Client procedures and the principles identified in project specific risk
assessments.

• Each storage container will be clearly labelled with its contents

• Usually, the main substances to be used on the work site that require special and
segregated storage are diesel, paraffin, lubricating oils, Xylene, epoxy paints, thinners
and blasting grit (based on copper slag but with no copper content).
• Such hazardous materials will be stored in suitable containers, in accordance with their
MSDS requirements. Paints, thinners, and blasting grit will be stored in steel lockers
designated for this purpose and locked at all times when not in use.
• Cylinders will be stored on a prepared base and surrounded by a secure, chain
link fence of about 2m height. Signs will be displayed indicating the presence of
LPG (if present) and prohibiting smoking and naked flame within the area. An adjacent
safety zone will be maintained around the store.

• Diesel fuel will be stored in large purpose-built tanks in a designated corner of the
Laydown Area with clear labelling
• Impermeable bunds will be provided for long term fuel storage areas. All hoses will
be stored inside the bund.
• The floor of the storage area for hazardous substances, especially liquids, w ill be constructed
of concrete and sloped so that any spillage will flow to a sump contained within the bund.
Secondary containment has to be 110% of the aggregate volume of stored inventory
within the bun<::t..

• Oil and lubricants will be stored within the confines of the bund

• In areas with potential loss of containment risk, emergency procedures will be present
and pollution control equipment provided, such as Spill Kits and absorbent
granules. These will also be carried by all of CRCC vehicles on the site and by refueling
bowsers.
• No potentially polluting materials or substances will be stored near
watercourses or in such a situation that these can fall or be carried into a watercourse
. Areas of peaty soil and wetlands will also be avoided. Any inadvertent drainage
from the storage of such materials will not be allowed to enter a watercourse.

• Any storage container found to be leaking will cease to be used for storage of
dangerous/hazardous goods until the leak has been repaired

Incident Reporting Procedure

5. SAFETY WITH FUEL ON SITE.

Procedure for storing fuel on Construction Sites.

➢ Where the circumstances require, fuel may be stored in an approved mobile refueling tank.
➢ Mobile fueling tanks must be stored in an area where it cannot be hit by vehicles or other
equipment. The fuel storage area also must be located away from drainage channels.
➢ Where a mobile refueling tank is in use and there is a danger of spillage contaminating a
stream, waterway, or sewer, the refueling tank shall be at a location that complies with
diking requirements unless double-wall tanks are used.
➢ All mobile refueling tanks are to be properly labelled in accordance with the Transportation
of Dangerous Goods Regulation.
➢ Fire extinguishers shall be located near the fuel storage areas and be of a suitable type and
size to permit the evacuation of workers during a fire.
➢ Any worker who may be required to use a fire extinguisher shall be trained in its use.
➢ Smoking will not be permitted in the area of the fuel storage facility and “No Smoking” signs
will be posted. Smoking will not be permitted during any fueling operation. “No Smoking”
signs are to be maintained in good condition.
➢ Waste oils, lubricants, greasy and oily rags, or other materials subject to spontaneous
combustion will be retained in a labelled container used for that purpose exclusively and will
be properly disposed of at frequent intervals.
➢ Appropriate emergency spill equipment will be available in the fuel storage area.
➢ No “hot work” shall take place within 3 meters of a storage zone.

6. REFUELING.

The act of refueling can lead to fires and explosions if the fuel is somehow ignited. This has the
potential to turn into a catastrophic event which can cause severe burns or death to people, not
to mention damage to equipment, materials and buildings on-site, which has financial
consequences.

There are a number of precautions which need to be followed whenever refueling is taking place.
These include not having engines or motors running whilst putting fuel in, and not smoking when
refueling or wherever fuel is present. If the fuel were to come in contact with a flame, spark or hot
surface it can instantaneously ignite and cause a major fire.

Those performing the refueling should have been provided with health and safety training in order
to understand the potential risks, as well as instruction on the correct operation of the machinery,
such as the correct method of refueling that particular piece of equipment and how to switch it off
fully before commencing with the refueling.

Incident Reporting Procedure

7. REFUELING TO HEAVY EQUIPMENT’s.

When refueling equipment or machinery follow proper procedures:

➢ Store flammable or combustible liquids in approved containers, in tanks located

underground, or in aboveground portable containers. All fuel storage tanks must be
grounded.
➢ Transport fuel to the equipment in approved containers or tank trucks designed for this
purpose. All containers used to handle gasoline must be approved by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL), Factory Mutual (FM), or some other recognized testing organization.
Never use plastic containers, glass bottles, or other makeshift containers to store or
handle gasoline and other flammable materials.
➢ Always turn off the motor before refueling.
➢ Do not smoke or use open flames within 50 feet of areas where fuel is stored and where
machines or equipment are refueled.
➢ Determine where the fuel fill opening is located with respect to a hot engine, exhaust
pipe, or other ignition source. If it is located where fuel could spill and contact the ignition
source, the equipment should be allowed to cool off before refueling begins.
➢ Connect or bond equipment to the dispensing container or truck to prevent static
electricity. Bonding is achieved by connecting bonding wires between the dispensing
container and the vehicle or equipment. Dispensing devices and nozzles must be
approved by UL, FM, or some other approved testing organization. Approved hoses and
nozzles attached to fuel pumps should be equipped with bonding wires to bond the
equipment to the supply vehicles when the nozzle contacts the metal fill spill spout.
➢ Store a fire extinguisher, rated not less the 20 BC, within 75 feet of the refueling station
and know how to use it.
➢ Always clean up spills before starting the engine.
➢ Wash off gasoline from your hands or skin with soap and water.
➢ Change your clothes immediately if you get gasoline on them.
➢ Shut off fuel pumps and close all containers when you are finished refueling.

8. REFUELING TO GENERATOR’s.

➢ Each generator is run daily between 06.00 am and 19.00 pm to verify and maintain
proper operation. Fuel capacity is checked at this time. During emergency operation, the
generator is monitored on a more frequent basis.
➢ A portable 50-gal diesel fuel tank with electric pump (12v) is used to refuel the
generators. The tank is transported to the generator location when refueling is required.
The operator has a spill kit available during refueling.
➢ Note: The portable 50-gal tanks are filled up by the Grounds /Automotive division using
the fuel-dispensing pump in the Facilities compound. Records are maintained for usage
and consumption.
➢ Each generator has a site gauge. The operator monitors the site gauge and tank space
at all times during refueling.

➢ If a spill occurs, theIncident Reporting

operator uses theProcedure
spill kit and absorbent material to contain and
clean up the spill. This contaminated material is then sent to the Grounds/Automotive
division for disposal. All personnel responsible for refueling of generators are trained on
SPCC.
➢ Each generator consists of a double-lined fuel tank to serve as containment in case of
rupture. Refer to the Aramco G.I 0002.401, Inland oil spill contingency plan.

Incident Reporting Procedure

11. PROCEDURE FOR GROUNDING AND BONDING DURING REFUELING.

The process of bonding and grounding creates a path for the charge to travel to the ground. This path
eliminates the buildup of static electricity and allows it to safely dissipate into the ground. When
properly done, changes will dissipate as fast as they are generated.
➢ Grounding is a technique that “bleeds off” the charges and directs them harmlessly to the
earth. A ground wire and clamp are attached from the container that the liquid is being
transferred from (e.g., 55-gallon metal drum) to a ground. This can be a metal grounding rod
driven several feet into the earth, the cold-water pipe running through the room, or even a
part of the building structure itself. It is important to be sure the wire connects cleanly and
firmly to both the ground and the container.
➢ Bonding is the process of connecting two or more conductive containers together. This
ensures there is no difference in the electrical potential between the two containers.
Therefore, static electricity will not build up and create a spark. Some liquid transfer pumps
have self-bonding hoses that contain conductive wire or fibers that bond the nozzle to the
pump and prevent static from accumulating as liquid flows. When properly bonded, the
electrons will flow harmlessly from the liquid, through the wire, and to the ground. The drum
and container have the same electrical potential and a spark will not jump from the dispensing
nozzle to the can.
