SWCC Contractor Safety Policy

To eliminate the concept of negligence among contractors, the Safety Department administers
safety orientations for contractors. These orientations are carried out by the safety inspector. In
these orientations the safety inspector explains the basic ideas of safety, how an individual can
protect himself against harm, and the Corporation’s Safety Rules that govern all kinds of activities
in plant including people’s behavior.
The handbook mandates safety obligations for the contractor which he has to fulfill. The handbook
is believed to organize and control all activities conducted by the contractor’s employees. In other
words, it clearly states SWCC’s guidelines which the contractor needs to comply with. Figure (2-1)
shows how the Policy should be carried out.

9.10. TANKS VESSELS AND PIPE WORKS
9.10.1. ADVICE ON VOLATIZING TANKS AND VESSELS

A. All vessels, tanks and pipe-work which contain or had to be contained any type of oil, fuel
or any other volatile materials must be emptied and evacuated of all the residues and
vapors prior to its demolition. For vessels and tanks of about 6,000 gallons capacity, both
vapors and residues can usually be removed by steaming out but due to high heat capacity
of large tanks, steaming out can not be relied on to volatize all residues.
B. It is relatively easy to eliminate explosive concentration of vapors within the large tanks,
vessel or pipe-work by forced ventilation using large blowers or ejector system. This
method will rapidly reduce the vapor concentration. With material less volatile, the main
dander lies in the hot cutting causing fire to any residues in the tank. It is therefore
essential that the residues are removed before work starts.
C. The risk of explosion or fire during hot cutting work can be practically eliminated by using
cold cutting techniques. Although, often more costly and laborious, it may prove to be
the only safe method.
9.10.2. DEMOLISHING TANKS AND VESSELS

A. No tank, vessel or pipe-work which contained any explosive of flammable material shall
be subjected to any welding or hot cutting techniques until all steps have been taken to
remove or make safe of the substances and any fumes.
B. No tank vessel or pipe-work shall be subjected to any demolition activity unless it is at
ZERO pressure and certified not having any toxic or explosive contents.
C. When hot cutting is planned, the advice of SWCC Fire & Safety Department shall be
sought.
9.11. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT

9.11.1. All demolition workers shall be provided with and make use of the following
protective equipment:
A. Safety Helmet
B. Eye Protection (Safety Goggles)
C. Ear Protection (Ear Plugs)
D. Heavy Duty Gloves
E. Face Masks or Respirators, whenever necessary to prevent inhalation of dust and fumes
F. Safety Shoes and Protective clothing
G. Full Body Harness, with lifelines where required, shall be used by men working in
isolated or dangerous locations where there is a possibility of them falling and where
other preventive measures are impractical.
9.12. MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT
9.12.1. Mechanical equipment such as cranes and dozers shall be equipped with wire mesh
guards over windows and with a solid protection over the driving position so that
there is no danger of operator being struck by flying debris
9.12.2. The Basic Safety Rules for all ladders or scaffolding use for the purpose of demolishing
etc., shall apply.
9.13. USE OF EXPLOSIVES
