STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
4
Statutory requirements are those requirements which are applicable by virtue of law enacted
by the government. These requirements are non-negotiable and must be compiled with.
Failure to comply a legal requirement may result in a fine or penalty or possibly a custodial
sentence for the person or persons responsible for such failure. Statutory refers to the laws
passed by a state and/or central government.
Accordingly, the organization should have a methodology in place (i) for determining,
maintaining and updating all statutory requirements, (ii) for communicating all applicable
statutory requirements within the organization. The organization should ensure that
determined statutory requirements are utilized as Process Inputs. The organization should
monitor Process Outputs for compliance with statutory requirements.
It should be the responsibility of the personnel/departments concerned to meet these
determined requirements. The top management should also review at defined intervals
meeting applicable statutory requirements.
It will be a good idea that the auditor during the audit preparation phase obtains relevant
information from internal as well as external sources with respect to the statutory
requirements that may apply to the organization and its product, such as, legal requirements
related to health, safety and environment. An internal auditor can find the compliance during
audit process by inquiring to the following:
Whether the organization has determined applicable statutory requirements related to
the product?
What are the determined applicable statutory requirements?
How the organizations people are communicated the importance of meeting statutory
requirements?
Whether the determined statutory requirements are utilized as process inputs in
determination of requirements related to the product and also in reviewing design and
development inputs.

24
CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS AREA

Hazardous Area
Hazardous Area is an area in which an
explosive gas atmosphere is present, or
likely to be present, in quantities such as to
require
special
construction,
precautions
installation
and
for
use
the
of
electrical apparatus.
Non- Hazardous area

Non Hazardous Area is an area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not expected to be
present, in quantities such as to require special precautions for the construction, installation
and use of electrical apparatus.
The hazardous area is mainly defined for the purpose of selection and installation of electrical
equipment however; definition shall be applied as specified herein after for other purposes
also.
An area will be deemed to be hazardous where;
1. Petroleum having flash point below 65C or any flammable gas or vapor in a
concentration capable of ignition is likely to be present.
2. Petroleum or any flammable liquid having flash point above 65C is likely to be
refined, blended or stored at above its flash point.
A hazardous area shall be deemed to be
A zone O area, if inflammable gas or vapors are expected to be continuously

present in the area; or
A zone 1 area, if inflammable gases or vapors are likely to be present in the area
under normal operating conditions; or
25
A zone 2 area, if inflammable gases or vapors are likely to be present in the area
only under abnormal operating conditions or failure or rupture of equipment.
LAYOUT DESIGN
Following philosophy should be adopted in layout of an
installation (OISD 244):
1. Risk Analysis / Assessment shall be carried out at the layout stage with an objective to
arrive at any specific mitigation measures required for Hazards identified. Risk
reduction / mitigation measures shall be given due credit.
2. Roads inside the hazardous area of Installation shall be restricted to vehicles required
for operational, maintenance and safety/security reasons and allowed only with proper
safety fittings and authorization from location in-charge/designated safety officer.
3. Alternative access shall be provided for each facility so that it can be approached for
firefighting in the event of blockage on one route.
4. Rail spur shall be located close to the boundary of the installation to minimize
road/pipe crossings and blockage of roads during shunting.

3) MODE OF PRODUCT SUPPLY:The product is supplied to the customer or depots through different modes i.e. Tank
Truck which means road transportation by truck tanker, Tank Wagon which means rail
transportation by tanker rail and the pipeline transfer means pipelines are installed to
the customers place from storage point. The terminal visited was, performing their
activities mostly by Tank Truck on daily basis, by Tank wagon on weekly basis and by
pipeline according to the requirements (Generally to the port location for ships and
barges). (Rate 1{lowest}-5{highest})

customers or the depots.
46
SUGGESTIONS
Based on my study, I would suggest that HPCL should use an upgraded technology to
ensure smooth functioning of the terminal.
HPCL should reduce the lead time (excess time) required to fill the tanks. Changing
from traditional practices to the automation, it will be easy to deliver accurate product
to the customer on demanded time. This will also help them to improve productivity
and performance.
As HPCL is considered to be the best of all petroleum terminals, it should ensure that
the rules and regulations are followed up to the best possible level keeping into mind
the welfare of Human safety and Environment protection.
HPCL can undertake CSR projects relating to Environment protection. A step to

protect Earth and save natural resources.
47
CONCLUSION
We understand that compliance protects Human health and the Environment by improving
environmental behavior through statutory and non-statutory means. This survey shows that
HPCL gives 100% importance to the guidelines assigned by the Oil Industry Safety
Directorate (OISD) and Petroleum & Explosive Safety Organization (PESO).
Through this survey we understand that Human safety and Environment protection has more
importance in every petroleum and oil industry which should be aim of every mankind to
protect the wellness of society. With this mission HPCL running its activities of guiding their
employees with periodical sessions and training on human safety and environment protection.
For that they also organize CSR activities, employment training, safety training and health
measure.
Through this report we came to know about the different acts and rules which need to be
followed before starting or setting a petroleum plant. We studied about the different types of
petroleum products and their uses. We understood the importance of safety and their benefits
to the human and environment as well. We studied about the different licenses and certificates
required for every segment of the business i.e. licenses from the point of view of Owner,
Customer and the training and safety certificates to the truck drivers. We analyzed the
different activities performed at petroleum terminal from refining to storage and from storage
to the supply of product to customer.
So finally, I would like to conclude that the Statutory Compliance provides the legal
framework which assist in enhancing the relationship between the employees and employers
of an organization. Statutory Compliance is the key priority of all organization as it helps an
organization to meet its legal obligations and standards.
