June 2002 Issue 1/AM04 1

The BP Facilities Change Process (FCP) (UKCS-CHM-002) (Addendum 1 Ref 2) should be

considered in certain cases, such as:
• Addition or modification of structural steelwork
• Consideration of weight control or siting because of the items weight or
large dimension
• Creation of temporary hazardous zones
• Temporary tie-ins to permanent systems
• Temporary isolations of safety critical systems
The reason for using the FCP is to ensure that the effect of the equipment on the
existing Safety Critical Elements (SCEs) is given due consideration.
In such circumstances, the FCP must be approved before any order is released to
Uncontrolled
a supplier.
Note: The procedures defined in this manual are for use in normal operations on or
from BP Installations. The procedures may require amendment for combined
operations where equipment from a drilling rig may be located alongside or on an
Installation. Any such changes will be detailed in the appropriate Combined
Operations Safety Case.
2 Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to outline the responsibilities of BP United Kingdom
Continental Shelf (UKCS) personnel involved with the hiring of all temporary equipment
for use on UKCS Installations and those of the service/equipment supplier.
Compliance with the procedure will ensure that UKCS Business Units (BUs) meet
Technical Integrity Performance Standard 1.6.1 (UKCS-TI-001) (Addendum 1 Ref 15),
which states that:
‘Systems shall be in place to ensure that hired and temporary equipment, in
particular equipment for use in hazardous areas, is specified and controlled to
ensure safe conditions of operation.’
3 Roles and Responsibilities

3.1 Procurer
The Procurer (ie the person hiring the equipment) is responsible for ensuring that:
• The hired item is correctly specified
• The requirement for inspection, prior to transportation from the supplier, is specified
• The supplier is aware of the requirements of this procedure
2 March 2001 Issue 1

3.2 BP Inspection Management Representative

The BP Inspection Management Representative is currently Oilfield Inspection Services
(OIS). The BP Inspection Management Representative is responsible for carrying out the
inspection of the equipment and completing and distributing the Equipment Release
Form PE001 (Addendum 2).
3.3 Independent Verification Body

The Safety Case Regulations (Addendum 1 Ref 3), as amended by the Design and
Construction Regulations (DCR) (Addendum 1 Ref 4), requires that dutyholders
(Operators) identify SCEs on their Installations and ensure that such elements are
covered by an appropriate Verification Scheme. For each UKCS Installation, hired and
transportable equipment is identified as an SCE.
Uncontrolled
The verification of this SCE is carried out by an Independent Verification Body (IVB).
Lloyd’s Register has been appointed the IVB for all UKCS BUs. Verification is an audit
process which assures the ongoing integrity of the SCE, and any plant and equipment
associated with the SCE. Lloyd’s Register thus verifies that this procedure is known,
used and fully complied with in the course of carrying out their verification activities.
3.4 Supplier
The supplier is responsible for ensuring that the equipment being supplied conforms
with all current legislation, in particular:
• The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations (Addendum 1 Ref 5)
• Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) (Addendum 1 Ref 6)
• The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) (Addendum 1 Ref 1)

4.2.3 Maintenance and Repair
Supplier
Under Sections 2, 3 and 7 of the Health and Safety at Work Act (Addendum 1 Ref 7),
duties are imposed on the supplier of equipment for the provision and maintenance of
plant and safe systems of work that are, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and
without risk to health.
For maintenance or repair activities, the supplier shall:
• Provide a Plant Maintenance and Repair Register to a format approved by BP. The
register is to be available for BP inspection at all times
• Prior to performing any maintenance or repair activity on the equipment located
offshore, advise BP of such intentions so that, if required, a BP representative can
Uncontrolled
witness the activity. It should be noted that although alteration to hired plant and
equipment is not considered a modification, any such work will require appropriate
technical and safety review
• Reinspect the equipment after the satisfactory completion of any maintenance or
repair, in accordance with the Equipment Site Form PE002 (Addendum 3)
• Record the details of the maintenance and repair activity in the register
• Clearly identify any defective item considered be beyond repair, and have it shipped
onshore to the supplier’s base. Ensure that details of this action and disposal
instructions are entered into the Register of Hired Portable Equipment
BP
BP is accountable for the operation of any hired equipment and will ensure that it is used
within the equipment’s approved limitations and is only used for its intended purpose.
BP, however, shall not accept responsibility for the maintenance or repair of hired
transportable and portable equipment offshore. It is therefore recommended that
suitable spare parts and spare equipment accompany the equipment offshore.
Where necessary, BP shall have the right to seek compensation for work undertaken on
hired transportable and portable equipment by BP personnel, including any repair or
maintenance work.
Prior to any maintenance, and/or repairs, being carried out on the equipment located
offshore by the supplier, BP is to be advised of such intentions so that the actual
maintenance and or repairs activities can (if BP so requires) be witnessed by a
BP representative.
After the satisfactory completion of any maintenance, and/or repairs, as referred to
above, the said equipment must be reinspected in accordance with the Equipment Site
Form PE002 (Addendum 3).
The supplier shall keep detailed and up-to-date records of all maintenance, and/or repairs,
carried out on their equipment located offshore.

Any defective item noted to be beyond repair will be clearly identified and shipped
onshore to the supplier’s base. The Portable Equipment Register will be marked up
accordingly and disposal instructions recorded.
5 Dispensation
Equipment that does not satisfy the requirements of this procedure can only be
transferred offshore by written permission from the Offshore Installation Manager
(OIM), and only then if all technical integrity issues have been assessed and a suitable
and sufficient risk assessment has been performed.
