FOREWORD
The oil industry in India is over 100 years old. As such, various practices have been in vogue
because of collaboration/association with different foreign companies and governments.
Standardisation in design philosophies and operating and maintenance practices at a national level
was hardly in existence. This, coupled with feed back from some serious accidents that occurred
in the recent past in India and abroad, emphasised the need for the industry to review the existing
state of art in designing, operating and maintaining oil and gas installations.
With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986 constituted a Safety Council
assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD), staffed from within the industry,
formulating and implementing a series of self regulatory measures aimed at removing
obsolescence, standardising and upgrading the existing standards to ensure safer operations.
Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of functional committees comprising of experts
nominated from the industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects.
The first document on "Work Permit System" was prepared in February 1988 by the Functional
Committee on "Process Design and Operating Philosophies" based on the accumulated knowledge
and experience of industry members and various national and international codes and practices.
The experience gained during its application has been very helpful in amending the first
document. The amended document incorporates permit system for Radiography also. The role of
the Safety Officer has also been clarified in this edition.
This document will be reviewed periodically for improvements based on the experience and better
understanding.
Suggestions from industry members may be addressed to :
