live systems/lines will be distributed to all parties of construction office including Sub-contractors, and
the same will be displayed on HSE notice board
11.5.2 RISK ASSESSMENT FOR HAZARDOUS WORKS
(1) Testing Activities

The following testing activities, such as but not limited to, are generally considered as specific
hazardous work:
Activities Hazardous
Chemical cleaning of lines The chemicals may leak due to equipment failure or could be
and equipment. spilled due to failure of fittings and causes burns to the skin on
contact or injure the eyes, or contaminate the environment. If
the chemically dosed water is drunk, it may result in illness or
death.
Air blowing of lines. Water can cause "water hammers" if not properly drained after
hydro testing and result in lines jumping off racks or burst
open and cause injuries. Flying particles at open ends may
result in eye injuries. High noise levels often result.
PP 1 - ANG - rev. 2
ALGIERS REFINERY
9952T-000 PP 0803 0 30/69
Steam blowing of line. Steam will heat up the lines and equipment, which can cause
burns. Steam blowing is also associated with high levels of
noise, which may harm the ears.
Nitrogen drying and inerting Valves or isolation blind may fail and create a lack of oxygen
of lines or vessels in nearby used confined spaces
"Breaking" of pipes/flanges If the line is under pressure with a product or substance it will

gaskets/"swing" blinds/insert serious injuries, fires, gas leaks/clouds etc.
or remove spades etc.
Rotating equipment and There is always a danger of electrical shock and/or unguarded
other electrical testing. moving parts that may cause injuries. Furthermore there is
also the possibility that the equipment may fail.
(2) 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.
11.5.3 SAFETY CONTROLS
Safe work procedures and safety systems shall be implemented in an effort to prevent injuries, loss of life,
and damage to equipment or environmental contamination during "start-up" and commissioning activities,
that are high potential criticity activities. It is imperative that EPCC CONTRACTOR strictly adhere to their
procedures and systems at all times for protection of its employees and those around.
(1) Safety Action Plan
EPCC CONTRACTOR shall develop a Safety Action Plan and submit it to OWNER for review and
approval. EPCC CONTRACTOR shall also submit associated procedures to OWNER for review and
approval 15 working days prior to the start of any pre-commissioning and or start-up work (for Class 1
procedure).
(2) Permit to work

ALL WORK IN THE "START-UP" and RESTRICTED AREA'S WILL ONLY BE CARRIED OUT ON AN
AUTHORISED PERMIT.
EPCC CONTRACTOR shall submit OWNER Permit to Work System for an operating facility and
attach it to the Safe Work Plan for OWNER approval/authorization at least 24 hours before the start of
the work.
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:
PP 1 - ANG - rev. 2
ALGIERS REFINERY
9952T-000 PP 0803 0 31/69
• 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 (Log 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

• The place the work has to be carried out
• The equipment or plant involved
• The period of time in which the work may be carried out
• The hazards which are, or might be, present
• The tests 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
The supervisor in charge of the work to be performed must make sure that he and his crew fully
