1. BACKGROUND
Management of occupational health is an important area of risk mitigation and this

Standard presents the requirements for the control of potential health hazards in the
workplace. This document shall be applied to all Company controlled activities in
Australia.
This document aligns with Company Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
Management, which provides the strategic direction for meeting the Company’s Health,
Safety and Environmental Policy commitments and is the framework for achieving HSE
targets.
The Occupational Health Standard enables personnel involved with management of

potential health hazards in the workplace to understand the Company’s expectations
and their role in achieving them. Adherence to the standard will ensure compliance
with Company and legislative requirements.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this standard is to define the key responsibilities and minimum
Company expectations for the management of potential health hazards, which shall
then be incorporated into specific lower tier procedures.
3. SCOPE
This Standard applies at all workplaces controlled directly by the Company from its
Australian based operations and all workplaces where Prevailing Influence Level 1
exists i.e. any workplace where the Company has authority to introduce and implement
health, safety and environmental requirements.

A-weighting refers to a standardised frequency response used in sound

measuring instruments. It corresponds approximately to the human ear
A-weighting
response at low sound levels. Sound pressure levels measured using
this response, are expressed in units of dB(A).
C-weighting' refers to a standardised frequency response used in sound
measuring instruments. It corresponds approximately to the human ear

dB Decibel
Decibel is the unit used to indicate the relative magnitude of sound
pressure level and other acoustical quantities. The range of sound
pressures commonly encountered is very large so a logarithmic scale is
used. The decibel is the unit used on this scale and is abbreviated to
'dB'. On the decibel scale, the threshold of hearing occurs at a sound
Decibel
pressure level of about 0dB and the threshold of pain occurs at about
120dB. As the decibel is also used to describe the level of other
quantities, such as sound power and vibration acceleration, it is always
necessary to refer to the specific quantity being measured, for example,
LAeq8h or LCpeak.

Page No: 8 of 17
Health Risk Assessments for new facilities shall be undertaken in all planning and
design phases to identify any potential health hazards associated with the facility
design and the appropriate control measures that can be incorporated into the design
to reduce health risks to levels that are ALARP. The goal is to eliminate or minimise by
design all potential health hazards and minimise reliance on Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE). In accordance with the hierarchy of controls, designs must actively
seek to eliminate, reduce, mitigate, or otherwise manage potential health hazards,
before the use of PPE solutions are considered [Ext Ref 1 & 2].
For operational facilities, exposure monitoring and health surveillance programs shall
be implemented, where required either by legislation or as part of the assessment step
during the Health Risk Assessment:
• Results of personal monitoring shall be communicated to the individuals tested;

and
• Results of any exposure monitoring or health surveillance shall be recorded and
retained for 30 years.
Health Risk Assessments shall be reviewed five yearly and whenever there is a
significant change in a process or a way of executing an operation.
6.2 Chemical Hazards
Exposure of personnel to hazardous chemicals shall be eliminated where practicable or

minimised to levels that are ALARP.
Exposure to atmospheric contaminants shall not exceed the relevant exposure

standards [Ext Ref 4].
The design of new facilities shall incorporate controls to minimise exposure of

personnel to hazardous chemicals, including produced fluids and production chemicals,
to levels that are ALARP [Ext Ref 5 & 6].
Certain hazardous materials such as recognised human carcinogens (IARC Group 1)

and asbestos are prohibited from use. Usage of materials which have a high hazard
potential (e.g. potential carcinogens, mutagens and teratogens) shall be avoided
whenever practicable and technically appropriate [Ext Ref 5 & 6].
In work environments where potentially hazardous levels of atmospheric contaminants

may be generated, Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems shall be provided, for the
complete capture and removal of atmospheric contaminants. LEV systems shall meet
the requirements of AS 1668 Part 2 [Ext Ref 7]. Workplaces or processes requiring
LEV systems include but are not necessarily limited to:
• Laboratories;
• Welding bays;
• Spray painting booths;
• Flammable liquids stores;
INPEX BROWSE, LTD.
Revision: 0
Date: 26 FEB 2010
Page No: 9 of 17
• Maintenance workshops; and

• Kitchen and food preparation areas.
Where hazardous chemicals are to be introduced to a workplace, conformance is

required with the Company’s Hazardous Chemicals Management Standard. In
particular:
• A risk assessment shall be undertaken prior to the selection of hazardous

materials and their introduction to the workplace;
• An auditable process shall be in place for the approval of those hazardous
chemicals;
• Prior to a hazardous chemical being ordered or brought onto any facility, the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) shall be entered into a MSDS database; and
• A register of each hazardous chemical used in a workplace shall be established
and maintained.
6.3 Physical Hazards
6.3.1 Noise
Exposure to noise shall be kept to levels that are ALARP and in all cases below the
national standard for exposure to noise in the occupational environment, as referenced
in The Safe Work Australia, National Code of Practice for Noise Management and
Protection of Hearing at Work [Ext Ref 9].
The Safe Work Australia, National Standard for Occupational Noise, [NOHSC:
1007(2000)] [Ext Ref 8] states in relation to a person, means —
(a) eight-hour equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level, LAeq,8h,
of 85dB(A) or
(b) a C-weighted peak noise level of 140 dB(C),
measured at the position of the person’s ear without taking into account any protection
which may be provided to the person by personal hearing protectors.
For personnel required to work 12-hour shifts, achieving compliance with the national
standard for exposure to noise requires that personnel are not exposed to noise in
excess of 82dB(A) over that period.
Noise modelling should be commenced during the FEED phase of all new facilities and
updated as noise data becomes available.
Noise control measures shall be included at the planning and design phases of all new
facilities and the following maximum noise levels shall be applied:
• A maximum noise level of 82dB(A) shall be applied in any area to which access
cannot be restricted during normal operations;
INPEX BROWSE, LTD.
Revision: 0
Date: 26 FEB 2010
Page No: 10 of 17
• The maximum noise level in any workplace, even in emergency blowdown

conditions, shall not exceed 115dB(A);
• The maximum peak noise level in any work place shall not exceed a peak noise
level of 140 dB(C) (Lpeak= 140 dB(C)); and
• A maximum noise level of 40dB(A) shall be applied in all sleeping
accommodation.
If noise modelling indicates that noise control measures implemented during the design
of new facilities will not control noise levels below the maximums listed above, then a
process shall be implemented to demonstrate that noise has been reduced to levels
that are ALARP.
Occupational noise surveys shall be carried out for operations, maintenance or service
facilities, including ships and mobile plant, if noise levels may be in excess of 82dB(A).
Surveys shall be reviewed five yearly, or more frequently if there is a significant
change, which may affect noise levels.
Noise management plans shall be developed in accordance with the National Code of
Practice for Noise Management and Protection of Hearing at Work [Ext Ref 10] and the
Company’s Noise Control and Hearing Conservation Procedure [HOLD].
A hearing conservation program shall be implemented where there is a potential for

personnel to be exposed to a daily noise dose which exceeds LAeq8h= 85 dB(A).
6.3.2 Lighting
Lighting is required in the workplace to allow personnel to move about safely without
risk of accident or injury and allow them to carry out their work tasks effectively. The
main objective is to create a visual environment in which essential task detail is made
easy to see and adverse factors, which may cause visual fatigue, are either excluded
or appropriately controlled.
As part of achieving this objective, lighting in the interior of buildings shall meet the
requirements of AS 1680 [Ext Ref 10] and emergency lighting, meeting the
requirements of AS 2293 [Ext Ref 11], shall be provided for the safe movement of
persons in the workplace in the eventuality that an emergency arises and normal
lighting is temporarily unavailable.
For external areas, factors to be consider in the design of lighting shall include the
provisions of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), Technical Report:
Guide for the Lighting of Exterior Work Areas [Ext Ref 12] and the general provisions of
AS 1680 [Ext Ref 10].
All facilities shall undertake a lighting survey at the commencement of normal

operations and shall update the lighting survey five yearly or more frequently if there is
a significant change, which may affect lighting levels.

ii) For whole body vibration the 8 hour daily exposure (A[8])
(c) Limit value is 1.15 metres/sec2
(d) Action value is 0.5 metres/sec2
Any working environment likely to expose personnel above the daily Exposure Action
Value (EAV) shall introduce a program of controls to reduce exposure to as low a level
as is reasonably practicable (ALARP).
Any working environment likely to expose personnel above the daily Exposure Limit
Value (ELV) shall take immediate action to reduce their exposure below the limit.
Risk assessment shall be undertaken for activities, which use vibratory tools
(pneumatic drills, riveting tools, impact wrenches, grinders, electric drills, fettling tools).
All facilities shall keep a record of the risk assessments and control actions.
6.3.4 Thermal environment
Any facility which has the potential to expose personnel to extremes of temperature
shall have controls in place to manage the risk in accordance with the Company’s
Control of Heat Stress documentation.
Controls that should be considered for the management of risk associated with heat
stress include:
• Induction and training on the recognition of symptoms and treatment to be

provided;
• The scheduling of work to minimise the impact of thermal extremes;
• Support for self-paced work;
