18 | P a g e
For ensuring that all hazards are controlled, CONTRACTOR will apply the following
safety management system for simultaneous operations of pre-commissioning,
commissioning and construction activities (SIMOPS):
a) Pre-start up HSE
BIDDER will prepare a Commissioning Safety Rules document that will be issued to all
parties on site. This will include samples of a Erection Completion Certificate (to confirm
system is ready to commission), and a Safety Rules Clearance Certificate (to confirm the
system complies with all Commissioning Safety Rules).
Prior to commencement for pre-commissioning and commissioning activities, pre-start up
HSE review will be carried out to check the readiness. The review includes the following:
- All recommendations raised during previous HSE reviews are implemented in the
installations.

manuals, procedures, emergency response plan, etc) are available.
- Training is conducted for all personnel, who will engage in pre-commissioning,
commissioning focused on potential risk, precaution for eliminating the risks, use of
personnel protection equipment, measures in case of accident/emergency and rules to
be observed.
b) Custody transfer of system
When all required inspections/tests of components included in the SYSTEM are completed
and documented the custody of SYSTEM is transferred to a commissioning team. The
extent of the SYSTEM is to be clearly defined on P&ID’s with component lists included
in the SYSTEM.
Upon transfer of the custody, the physical area of the SYSTEM shall be identified with
signs and barrier tapes by the commissioning team. The access and/or entry to the area is
restricted to essential personnel who have been trained for commissioning and hold a
project specific <COMMISSIONING> badge.
c) Control risks and permit to work
Any construction activity inside the area of commissioning teams custody shall be
performed under strict (permit to work) system. This permit to work system will be
identified by a detailed procedure.
19 | P a g e
Construction supervisors will issue an application of a “permit to work” to commissioning

team describing the details of work (method statement) including precautions/measures to
be taken.
The construction supervisor, commissioning supervisor and HSE supervisor shall review
the application and:
- Identify hazard/risk involved in the work.
- Assess if the precaution/ measures are adequate against the identified hazards/risks and

22 | P a g e
Other aspects which, if not given adequate attention, may contribute to existing
hazards/dangers and requiring continuous consideration are as follows:
- Many people simultaneously doing different job in the same small area.
- Persons who have conflicting interests working on the same equipment/activity.
- Too much pressure applied to finish work quickly resulting in “short cuts” being taken.
- Ignoring/by passing safety aspects because “they cause delays” retard progress.
- Using incorrect sub-standard tools/equipment or faulty tools/equipment,
- People not being trained and familiarized with dangers associated with hazardous
products /substances/gases.
- Ignoring permit conditions or working without an authorized work permit.
- No banner and warning signs for restricted area access control.
- No barricades erected to create a restricted access area.
- Tampering with equipment, temporary installation (e.g. scaffolds), etc.
- Highlighted items will result in the removal from site of the offenders.
b) Live lines
After the lines have been cleaned, pressure tested and dried to the proper dew point, they
are commissioned. This is when they are charged/loaded/filled with the products they were
designed to carry during the facility’s operation i.e.: hydrocarbons, nitrogen, gases, potable
water, etc.
They will then be marked with stickers on which “Live Line” is written.
Some of these gases are poisonous and others can kill because they displace the air which
people need to breathe to stay alive. Some of the chemicals are poisonous and others can
literally eat or burn away skin or muscles. Some of the gases are explosive when mixed
with air and many of the liquids are flammable.
When the pressure and temperature of a dangerous chemical or gas is increased, then the
product’s hazardous properties are further magnified by pressure or temporary increase.
Some products, which may normally be only flammable, may be so hot in the process that
they will also ignite automatically when exposed to the air.
These aspects make it very important to not interfere with commissioned pipe lines or
equipment.
23 | P a g e
Furthermore: NO WORK IS ALLOWED ON A LIVE LINE WITHOUT OWNER

AUTHORISED WORK PERMIT.
10.5.3 SAFETY CONTROLS
Start-up has the potential to be hazardous and safe working procedures and systems of work
shall be implemented to provide the level of controls required in an effort to prevent
injuries, loss of life, and damage to equipment or environmental contamination during
“start-up” and commissioning activities.
a) Safety action plan
BIDDER shall develop a Commissioning Safety Rules and submit it to eTEC for review
and approval. BIDDER shall also submit associated procedures to OWNER for review and
approval prior to the start of any pre-commissioning and or start-up work.
b) Permit to work
ALL WORK IN THE “START -UP” AND RESTRICTED AREA’S WILL ONLY BE
CARRIED OUT ON AN AUTHORISED PERMIT.
BIDDER shall submit to eTEC the Permit to Work System for an operating facility for
OWNER approval/authorization before the start of the work.
All proposed personnel to be Permit Applicants and/or Permit Holders will have undergone
Permit to Work training and be identified in a list of ‘authorized’ personnel.
The system and procedures constitutes the most methodical means of ensuring that safe
work practices are followed and that the work environment is safe. The objective is for an
experienced and trained authorized person, (who will ultimately sign the permit to work),
to pre-assess (with all the necessary technical assistance) the hazardous circumstances
involved and prescribe:
- The work to be carried out and the hazards involved.
- All precautions required.
- Who may perform the work?
- The limits of the permit area and equipment.
- LOTO (Lock-out Tag-out) requirements.
In particular, the permit will assist the authorized person in prescribing all the necessary
precautions. Each permit should detail the specific precautions to cope with, for example,
confined spaces, excavations, pressure tests, hydro static tests, radiographic tests, spading,
mechanical and electrical lock-out etc. The permit is designed to ensure that all parties
involved are aware of:
- The nature of the work to be performed
24 | P a g e
- The place the work has to be carried out

- The equipment or plant involved
- Details of all mechanical and electrical isolations
- The period of time in which the work may be carried out
- The hazards which are, or might be, present; i.e. live plant and systems in the area.
- The test and checks which have to be made and the precautions to be taken before
starting the work.
- The equipment to be used or to be made available on a standby basis
- The personal protective equipment to be used by those involved in the work.
- The requirement, if any, for further periodic tests and checks
- Personnel permitted to do the work
- The emergency/rescue procedure and other arrangements for the evacuation of
personnel.
No work shall be allowed during the pre-commissioning and or start-up phase without an
authorized permit. The supervisor in charge must make sure that he and his crew fully
understands all the permit conditions and will be able to comply.
Therefore the supervisor in charge must personally check all the system isolations, tools
and equipment to be used, the work environment, PPE and explain the work and the permit
conditions to his crew before the work commences.
A work permit therefore authorizes entry into “start-up” area’s/process units/restricted
areas. BIDDER supervisor shall always ensure that the following requirements are carried
out:
- Sparks must be contained with fire resistant material (i.e. fire blanket, etc.)
- All sewers/drains within 10 meters must be covered.
- A fire extinguisher(s) must be available at the work point.
- A metal container to deposit welding rod stubs, never deposit welding stubs anywhere
else than in such metal container.
c) Barricades/Fences
Barricades and fences are there to prevent people from going into hazardous/dangerous
areas. All barriers shall be solid; tape is not acceptable.
25 | P a g e
This should not be taken lightly and everyone should comply. In general barricades are
required around excavations holes, openings in floor or roof areas, edges of roof, elevated
platforms, around certain types of overhead work, around areas where radioactive tests are
performed, where steam, chemicals or air blow -outs are possible because of pressure tests,
where equipment could be hot, etc.
All areas where hazardous pre-commissioning and or start-up work is being performed
shall be properly barricaded and access into the area controlled. CONTRACTOR shall keep
a sign in/out log of all authorized people entering/ exiting the retracted area.
d) Banners and signs
Banners and sign are displayed on SITE to warn or inform people of hazardous zones, or
to prescribe the use of certain personal protective equipment or to prohibit certain activities.
BIDDER shall display banners and signs to warn people against the possible hazards and
dangers. The following are examples and is not a limited list:
- Prohibited smoking zones
- Prohibited items in live system/plant areas
- In noise zones to wear ear protection
- Touching hot pipes, valves, equipment.
- Chemical cleaning of pipes, valves, and equipment
- Chemical, oil spillage
- Possible blasting particle during air blowing activities,
- Electrical hazards
- Hazardous work overhead
- Permit areas.
- Various pressure tests and associated hazards/dangers.
10.5.4 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS/SUBSTANCES
Hazardous materials are substances capable of posing a risk to personal health and safety.
Many of the pipelines and vessels will contain such hazardous substances.
The best way to protect your health and safety is to know about each of the chemicals being
handled or worked with and comply with the conditions of use described in the relevant
Material Date Sheet (MSDS).
Hazardous material/substances are generally be classified as follows:
26 | P a g e
Toxic Materials A toxic material is one which adversely affects the body and organs.
Carcinogenic Materials, which have the potential to cause cancer, are known as
Material carcinogens.
Radioactive Radiation has serious effects on skin tissue, skin cell structure and
Materials body organs and in high doses can lead to death.
Chemicals that cause visible destruction or changes in living tissues

Corrosive
by chemical action upon contact.
An irritant is a non-corrosive chemical that causes a reversible
Irritants
inflammatory effect on living tissue by chemical action on contact.
Chemicals/gases which can cause suffocation by restricting the
Asphyxiates uptake of oxygen or by respiratory paralysis or by diluting/displace
oxygen below levels needed by the body.
Flammable &
Liquid that gives off enough vapors to form an ignitable mixture
and Combustible
