11. Specific Staff Training Requirements

` At current status of site operations and for this specific task the following training is required at site
level:

 Safe and correct installation work and associated works.

 Safe use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
 Copies of all relevant competency certificates will be kept on file in the C&P site
H.S.E office.

12. Sequence of Works / Procedure of Work

Pressure testing of piping is a mandatory activity before finalization of any new or modified piping
system. It is the final check of mechanical integrity of the whole system. This test is carried out at a
pressure 1.5 times of the nominal design pressure of a system regardless of the service conditions of
a piping system.

A. Preparatory works prior to start the testing:

 All joints in a test section shall be accessible during tests and shall not be painted, insulated,
backfilled or otherwise covered until satisfactory completion of testing in accordance with the
requirements in the specification. All equipment and piping to be pressure tested shall be
thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, welding slag, construction debris, or other foreign matter.

 An important aspect is, that materials used in pressure systems comply with all the required tests, all
materials are certified and that the engineer has made the right choice of materials.

 Pressure test has to be performed after all hot works have been completed on a certain piping
system. Hot work includes everything related to welding or the post weld heat treatment (PWHT).

 Testing equipment such as pressure gauges should be within calibration/certification (as per
company procedures) and connected to the lowest convenient connection within the system to
ensure best results.

B. Testing:

 Pressure gauges should be fitted at both low and high point when testing large volume systems.

 After the system has been completely vented, all vents and drains should be plugged or blinded.
Verify that Valves are in place and open/closed as required.

Document No. DC2-ECI-CNP-MST-ME-00001 Page 9 of 22

 Client: Project Management: Consultant: Contractor:

 The system shall be filled from the lowest available point; all vents and high point connections shall
be open during this operation to allow the air in the system to vent off.

 Maintain pressure for 10 minutes and then gradually increase pressure in steps of one tenth of the
test pressure until the test pressure is attained. The recommended practice of a QC inspector is to
walk through the whole piping system and check for leaks. Every single length of piping, welds,
bolted connections shall be visually examined for any leakage. Duration of this activity varies with
the span of piping system. For larger piping system time taken for this activity is enough to clear the

 Whenever a leak is found from flanged connection, it is advisable not to perform any tightening
before the system pressure is brought down to at least 70%. A leak from a weld joint, piping base
metal or any other location which may require hot work shall only be addressed after de-
pressurizing the piping under test.
pressure test. In case of piping system having smaller span, 1-hour time may be made as standard
practic

13. Inspection Hold Points

 Refer to ITP.

14. Monitoring and Compliance

 All works shall be supervised by a designated competent supervisor on a daily basis.
 Parcel HSE Officer shall perform random checks to verify that all work is done as per
the method statement.

 All employees entering the site shall do so by making use of the access provided.
Only authorized employees will be allowed to gain access into the site.
 All employees will attend the C&P health and safety induction prior to entering the
area of operation. Access permits will only be issued to employees on completion of
the induction.
 Access and egress onto the back of any truck or trailer will be by means of a ladder,
which will be secured to the side of the truck or trailer.

16. Fall Protection Measures

 Work area shall be inspected by the responsible Foreman and H.S.E Engineer for the
site, this inspection shall cover the identification of all floor openings and missing
edge protection.
 Any identified missing edge protection or openings in floors shall first be rectified /
made safe prior to any other works starting.
 Preventing the falling of hand tools such a spanner is important, tool lanyards to be
fitted to all hand tools.

 Hazardous Substance Handling and Use

When purchasing

Review of processes to reduce the use and storage of hazardous materials. Substitution of
hazardous substances with safer alternatives and/or limit of quantities of hazardous materials, as
possible. Asbestos materials, lead-based paints, and PCBs will not be used.

Ordering “just in time” and required quantities (to avoid long storage and surplus material.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be requested from the supplier.

During delivery

 Delivery to designated areas of the site.

 Prevention of damages during unloading.
 Immediate return of incorrect deliveries.
 Record and log the deliveries.

During storage

All hazardous materials (e.g.: fuel, oils, paints) brought to the site shall be stored in dedicated
areas.

 Hazardous materials storage areas shall comply with the permit conditions and have the
following characteristics/ features:
 For bulk liquid storage tanks, the bund has a minimum capacity of 110% of the largest tank;
 For liquids stored in drums or other small containers, the bund capacity must be a minimum
of 25% of the total volume of the stored products;
 For urgent temporary storage of liquids, un-bunded drums can be stored on spill
containment pallets, which should be capable of capturing the contents of at least one of the
drums;

Document No. DC2-ECI-CNP-MST-ME-00001 Page 19 of 22

 Client: Project Management: Consultant: Contractor:

 Bund walls and floor shall be impervious to the liquid being stored (formed concrete or
concrete block walls and concrete floor or impervious liner);
 Bund walls shall be strong enough to withhold any spillage;
 Bund must be designed to contain liquid leaks, with consideration to the trajectory of a leak
assuming a full tank of fluid leaking from near the top;
 Pipe works shall be placed over bund walls. If pipes go through the walls, ensure the set-up is
impervious to liquid. Place hose couplings inside bund.
 A collection sump must be provided in the bund floor to enable the easy removal of liquids;
however, this sump should not be connected to stormwater or sewage as it is an enclosed
collection point only.
 The bump should be constructed down gradient to promote the movement of liquids into
the sump;

For all hazardous materials/ chemical products:

All the chemical products shall be clearly labelled.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of chemicals will be available at storage areas and main
points of use.

When handling and using:

Proper measures shall be followed to avoid spillages. Repetitive handling of hazardous materials shall be
avoided. Drip trays and/or bunded mats shall be used to prevent spillages. Use drip trays and bunded mats
when handling and using hazardous materials
