5. RESOURCES
Effective operation of KJO’s OH&S Management System requires sufficient allocation of human, physical
and financial Resources. OH&S resource requirements should be considered during the OH&S
management planning process and during the OH&S management review process . Resource allocation
should also be considered in managing change and during assessment of controls as part of Risk
Assessment.
Physical resources include KJO’s assets (e.g. buildings, equipment, and vehicles). Effective OH&S
Management in allocating physical resources requires consideration of the OH&S risks that arise in all of
KJO’s activities, including the supply chain (i.e. purchasing activities).
Human resources include both KJO staff and contractors. Effective OH&S management relies on the
competence of these people. Competence includes each individual’s awareness, knowledge and skills,
and is supported by identifying training needs and providing the appropriate training.
5.1 COMPETENCE
KJO maintains processes for ensuring that personnel performing specific OH&S critical roles are
competent on the basis of:
The continuing competence of staff to perform their duties should be regularly reviewed and assessed,
including appropriate consideration of personal development and training required achieving competence
for changing activities and technologies.
KJO maintains procedures to ensure and increase competence by identifying training needs and providing
appropriate training for all staff and contractors. Training may be provided through formal courses and/or
through structured development in the workplace.
The extent and nature of training should ensure achievement of KJO’s OH&S Policy and objectives and
should meet or exceed standards required by legislation and regulations. Appropriate records of training
should be maintained with refresher training scheduled as required.
KJO’s requirements for OH&S training courses are defined in OH&S Employee Training & Orientation
procedure, Document No. KJO-6407.
6. CONTRACTORS
KJO maintains procedures to ensure that its contractors operate a management system that is consistent
with the requirements and provisions of the OH&S MS of the company. Procedures should facilitate
interfacing of contractors’ activities with those of the company and with those of other contractors, as
appropriate. This may be achieved by means of a specific interface document between company and
contractor so that any differences may be resolved, and procedures agreed, before work commences.
Although all the recommendations in these procedures may be applicable to the contracted organisation,
the procedures should pay particular attention to the following:
Effective communication of the key elements of the companies OH&S MS, and of the
standards of worker and OH&S protection expected from the contractor, including agreed
OH&S objectives and performance criteria.
Sharing by company and contractor of relevant information which may impact on the OH&S
performance of either
The requirement that each contractor have an effective and relevant training programme which
includes records and procedures for assessing the need for further training.
Definition of methods for monitoring and assessing contractor performance against agreed
OH&S objectives and performance criteria.

1. OBJECTIVE
To actively seek to improve KJO’s OH&S performance and management through the identification and
timely implementation of improvement opportunities.
2. INTRODUCTION
Managing OH&S risk and improving OH&S performance requires careful planning at all levels in KJO.
Objectives should be set, with plans established to meet them. In the event of an unplanned incident,
emergency response plans should be in place. An important outcome of the risk assessment is
identifying the key activities that must be controlled if KJO is to adequately manage OH&S risks.
Procedures should be established to manage these activities. A Permit to Work system should be
implemented to control all activities in hazardous areas.
Identify those operations and activities that are associated with significant OH&S hazards and risks
and to plan these activities in order to ensure that they are carried out under specified conditions.
4. RESPONSIBILITIES
The ISD Department and EHSMR are responsible for the implementation of this procedure.
Departmental Managers are responsible for developing project plans and ensuring the timely execution of
actions required to achieve their project improvement objectives.
Objectives and targets shall be defined and agreed by the ISD Department. Objectives shall be clearly
defined, measurable, realistic and demanding, but achievable. They shall be related to actual on-site
conditions and situations with particular reference to those risks considered ‘significant’. In general,
objectives shall therefore be set with a view towards achieving long-term improvements in performance
equal to that which can be achieved through the use of the best available technology, subject to cost-
effective viability ( in plain terms sufficient resources should be allocated to achieve the identified
objectives). In the event that there are shortcomings against legal or regulatory requirements, their
resolution shall take priority in the improvement plan. OH&S improvements may also be instigated as a
result of Occupational Health and Safety Management Steering Group’s activities or where stakeholder or
personnel suggestions are made.
Each Departmental Occupational Health & Safety Management Representative DHSMR shall document
each agreed objective using an OH&S Objective Control Sheet (Attachment 2):
Good project management skills are required to ensure both implementation and attainment of objectives
and targets and it is therefore essential that the action plans and monitoring procedures are not only
clearly defined but also correctly implemented. To ensure that progress, or otherwise, towards achieving
such objectives is clearly documented.
All pertinent information regarding objective actions and meetings shall be noted as necessary, in the
OH&S Objective Record (Attachment 3). Each DHSMR is responsible for maintaining an overview of
progress towards achievement of OH&S objectives and for reporting for management reviews. In the
event that there are new developments and/or new or modified activities, products or services (e.g. site
relocation, new plant, changes in materials or storage methods, etc.), the DHSMR is responsible for
reviewing implications for existing improvement programmes and ensuring that OH&S objective applies to
such projects.
The sum of all the agreed objectives and authorised internal improvement projects represents the OH&S
Management Programme. In order to maintain an overview of all on-going internal improvement
projects, the DHSMR shall maintain an up-to-date register of objectives. This, together with all associated
OH&S Objective Records shall be collated by the DHSMR to form OH&S Management Programme
Summary (Attachment 4).
Page 47 of 70
عمليات الخفجي المشتركة
الشركة الكويتية لنفط الخليج
KUWAIT GULF OIL COMPANY
AL-KHAFJI JOINT OPERATIONS
The OH&S Management Programme shall be formally reviewed during management reviews as described
in Element 8 Management Review.
Emergency response is an important part of KJO’s OH&S Management System. Although every effort is
made to ensure that accidents do not occur, the potential for hazardous events and emergency situations
still exists. It is KJO’s responsibility to ensure those plans, procedures and resources are in place to
respond swiftly and efficiently to any emergency situation and to minimise any consequential losses.
Refer to KJO Emergency Response Plan (Document No. KJO-6413), Offshore Emergency Response Plan
(Document No. KJO-6415) and Medical Emergency Evacuation MEDEVAC Procedure (Document No.
KJO-6414) for more details.
5.4 PROCEDURES
OH&S critical activities and their supporting tasks should have written procedures or work instructions in
place. If these are to be effective, they should be simple, unambiguous, understandable and relevant. In
addition to controlling activities and tasks, it is important that procedures include measures aimed at
improving OH&S performance or managing OH&S risk.
Procedures shall be maintained to ensure that OH&S critical facilities and equipment are suitable for the
required purpose and comply with defined criteria. These includes all OH&S Operational Control
Procedures
Pre-procurement and pre-construction assessment of new facilities and equipment should include explicit
assessment of appropriateness to meet OH&S requirements and should emphasise design as the best
preventative measure to reduce risk and adverse OH&S effects. Deviation from approved design
practices and standards should be permitted only after review and approval by designated
personnel and/or authorities, and the rationale for the deviation should be documented.
The objective of KJO’s Permit to Work System is: "To provide a system to ensure that non-routine,
hazardous activities can be worked on in a safe manner". To achieve safety in the workplace, the Permit to
Work System must ensure that everyone is aware of the hazards involved in their work, and of the
precautions that they must take to work safely. KJO’s Permit to Work System is described in Permit to
Work System Procedure (Document No. KJO-6412).

1. OBJECTIVE
To actively seek improvement of KJO’s OH&S performance and management through the identification
and timely implementation of improvement opportunities.
2. INTRODUCTION
An important outcome of Risk Assessment is identifying the critical activities that must be implemented to
adequately manage OH&S risks. Effective implementation of these activities involves:
Setting performance measures and indicators used to monitor how OH&S risk management is
achieved.
Addressing non-compliance within KJO’s OH&S requirements and ensuring that corrective
action is taken.
Reacting to incidents to make sure that they are notified, analysed, reported and followed-up.
4. RESPONSIBILITY
Departmental Managers, Operational Supervisors and Chief Engineers shall be responsible for:
Operating in accordance with this procedure and assuring themselves of adequate compliance
Ensuring that all personnel, including contractors, take corrective and preventive actions as
specified
Ensuring that competent persons are available to take responsibility for applying the procedures.
Ensuring, through contractual arrangements, that third-party employees conform to the procedures
when working under circumstances where KJO wishes to monitor the OH&S performance of
Contractors.
Origination of lessons-learned information for distribution as appropriate.

Reporting to their Line Supervisor, Manager, or the appropriate Departmental Occupational Health
and Safety Management Representative (DHSMR), as soon as possible, any incident which they
witness or discover, or in which they are involved.
Full implementation of the OH&S Management System means that people are doing what the
Management System says they should be doing, at all levels of the organization. Successful
implementation requires embedding OH&S into our Company culture; clear responsibilities; and line
ownership.
5.2 MONITORING
Effective implementation of KJO’s OH&S Management System requires both reactive and pro-active
monitoring. Pro-active monitoring provides information in the absence of any incident or ill health. Pro-
active performance indicators are forward looking and predictive, aimed at raising the awareness of the
possibility of incidents that might happen. Reactive monitoring provides information on incidents that have
occurred and provides insights into means of preventing similar incidents in the future. Reactive
performance indicators provide evidence of deficient OH&S performance.
Learning from accidents and incidents Successful emergency drills carried out.
Statistics on near misses. Measuring the integrity of critical safeguarding
Lost time injuries. systems
Occupational illnesses OH&S audits and inspections.
Fatalities Progress on close out of audit action items.
OH&S performance trend analysis. OH&S meeting
Page 52 of 70
عمليات الخفجي المشتركة
الشركة الكويتية لنفط الخليج
KUWAIT GULF OIL COMPANY
AL-KHAFJI JOINT OPERATIONS
A monitoring programme is required to measure OH&S performance, and the implementation of the OH&S
Management System, against established objectives. Proactive measures such as ‘unsafe act auditing’,
‘site inspections’, ‘self-assessments’, as well as reactive measures, shall be used to monitor OH&S
performance and identify shortcomings (Attachment 5 OHS Monitoring programme)
Sufficient quality control over measurement errors is important to ensure clear and accurate interpretation
of monitoring results and to maintain consistency of measurement. Competent personnel should
calibrate monitoring equipment on a regular basis.
A system of records demonstrates the extent of compliance with the OH&S Management System. The
OHS records generated and maintained by KJO under each element of the OH&S Management
System is listed over.
Non conformances issued against occupational health & safety management system requirements can be
issued by any KJO/Contractor employee working within KJO premises. Non conformances shall be
recorded on OHS Non Conformity Report, ensuring that all relevant information is given, including [as
applicable]:
Area/Location of the OHSMS involved.
Source [e.g. complaint, audit, monitoring etc.]
Second/Third Party details.
Any Technical Data.
The nature of the non conformance and where possible, the reasons for its occurrence.
Any immediate action taken.
The identity of the person raising the non conformity report and date of issuance.
The DHSMR shall determine, in conjunction with colleagues as necessary, any corrective or preventive
action necessary to deal with the matter raised. This shall be recorded on the non conformity report,
together with the person responsible for taking the specified action and the required completion date.
The Action Request shall be forwarded to the responsible person, the DHSMR retaining a copy.
Page 53 of 70
عمليات الخفجي المشتركة
الشركة الكويتية لنفط الخليج
KUWAIT GULF OIL COMPANY
AL-KHAFJI JOINT OPERATIONS
On completion of the required action, the OHS non conformity report shall be signed, dated and
returned to the EHSMR, with whom any alternative corrective or preventive action shall be discussed
before carrying it out. If satisfied, the EHSMR shall close the OHS non conformity report and update
the OHS Corrective/Preventive action tracking system accordingly.
The EHSMR shall decide if any verification action (follow up visit) is required, if so, enter this on the non
conformity report together with the person responsible for carrying out the verification and the required
completion date. The OHS non conformity report shall be forwarded to the responsible person, the
DHSMR again retaining a copy.
On completion of the verification, the OHS non conformity report shall be signed and dated to confirm
and returned to the DHSMR and EHSMR, if satisfied. The EHSMR shall sign and date the OHS non
conformity report and update the OHS action tracking system as effectively closed. If not satisfied, a
further OHS non conformity report shall be raised to address the continuing non-conformance, cross-
referencing this on the original OHS non conformity report and the OHS Corrective/Preventive Action
Tracking System.
All movements of the OHS non conformity report shall be logged on the OHS Corrective/Preventive
Action tracking system. DHSMR shall monitor the progress of corrective/preventive and verification
action, chasing up those responsible as required [refer to procedure no. KJO-6408, non conformance,
corrective and preventive action].
EHSMR is responsible for reviewing and analyzing non conformities for evidence of trends which may
indicate the need for further investigation and possibly, preventive measures. The EHSMR shall produce
an annual report on non-conformances for discussion during the management review meetings [Element 8
of the manual].
Incidents may affect people, or the assets and reputation of KJO. The corresponding consequences of
incidents are:
The primary purpose of incident analysis is to prevent recurrence of similar incidents by identifying
deficiencies and recommending remedial actions and following up to ensure that those actions are
implemented. The Incident notification, investigation and reporting are explained in the KJO’s Core
Procedures, Incident Notification Procedure [Document No. KJO-6404] and Incident Investigation and
Reporting Procedure [Document No. KJO-6406].

1. OBJECTIVE
2/5 CHAPTER 8
The objective of this element is to describe the general processes and requirements for OH&S audits and
details the specific procedures undertaken by KJO.
.
2. INTRODUCTION
OH&S audits provide management with a systematic, independent way to assess the implementation of
the OH&S Management System. Audit feedback is an essential part of the self-regulatory mechanism. An
internal audit is a formal, systematic examination of everyday activity and work against the corresponding
documented procedures and instructions.
3. BACKGROUND – AUDIT
OHSAS 18001 requires organisations to establish and maintain programmes and procedures for periodic
OH&S Management system audits to be carried out, in order to:
Determine whether or not the OH&S management system conforms to planned arrangements for
OH&S management, including the requirements of the Standard.
Determine that the OH&S management system has been properly implemented and maintained.
4. RESPONSIBILITY
The Industrial Security and Safety Department (ISD) are responsible for ensuring that OH&S audits are
carried out as specified. The Departmental Manager of the area under review is responsible for the timely
implementation of the corrective/preventive action necessary to deal with any non-conformance identified.
Personnel on the audit team must be independent of the facility or process audited, and may be sourced
from within KJO or externally. People conducting OH&S audits should be appropriately trained to be able
to carry out the task objectively, impartially and effectively.
Audit team members should be selected so that their skills and knowledge are appropriate to the audit
type and scope. The audit team should have:
A broad knowledge of OH&S matters.

The EHSMR shall devise and publish an annual audit schedule ensuring that the entire Occupational
Health & Safety Management System is reviewed at least once per annum.
Audits of the component parts of the OHSMS shall be scheduled based on the results of risk
assessments as well as the results of the previous audits. In addition, the ISD may initiate unscheduled
audits to verify corrective action or in response to suspected or reported non-conformances.
EHSMR shall appoint the auditors. Preferably at least two auditors shall be involved while conducting
an audit to ensure the impartiality while preparing audit findings. Trained personnel independent of the
activity under review shall carry out internal audits [for details, refer to document no. KJO-6409, OH&S
