The object of this document is to describe the HSE Requirements for VENDORS to be followed
in the execution of the Engineering and Procurement (EP) phase of the Project.
The document serves to ensure consistency and conformity in the supply of VENDOR
equipment and/or services in relation with the Health, Safety and Environmental requirements
applicable to the PROJECT.
This document neither abrogates nor modifies the contractual agreements between the
CLIENT and CONTRACTOR but provides the mechanism for carrying out the normal working
relationship between the parties during the Project execution.
Any Deviation to these requirements shall be clearly identified in the VENDOR´s Proposal.
This document addresses the following key HSE issues in relation to the supply of equipment:
VENDORS supplying equipment and/or services shall observe the specifications established
in this document with the purpose of complying with the operational and HSE requirements
according to their scope of supply.
In case of discrepancy among codes, standards and specifications, it shall be the responsibility
of the VENDOR to bring it to the attention of the CONTRACTOR in writing for decision on
which document shall be followed. The ones which provide a higher level of safety to the
people and environment shall prevail until the resolution is officially communicated by
CONTRACTOR.
VENDORS supplying equipment and/or services must observe the specifications established
in this document with the purpose of complying with the operational and HSE requirements
according to their scope of supply.
