Wood Group Mustang - Welcome

Pipeline Safety Orientation


Introduction – Safety & Risk Awareness

• To minimize the risk, worker and visitor safety awareness is essential for all phases of pipeline construction.

• The objective of this presentation is to highlight some of the safety issues in pipeline construction and possible mitigations.


Project Background • The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) project is approximately 1,133 miles in

length, comprising of the Gathering System – Bakken Supply Area in North

Dakota (142 miles) and the Mainline from North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois

(991 miles).

• The Gathering System begins at Stanley, ND and terminates at Johnson’s

Corner, ND. The Mainline begins at Johnson’s Corner, ND and terminates at

Patoka, IL.

• The DAPL consists of a nominal 30-inch diameter pipeline, multiple pump

stations on the 30-inch line, and a custody transfer station at Patoka, IL.

The DAPL also includes two railcar loading terminals near Litchfield, IL and

Odin, IL. The nominal flow rate will be 400,000 BPD. Numerous mainline

valves will also be required along the pipeline for leak isolation and safe

operation of the pipeline system.

• The DAPL crude oil pipeline system will be designed utilizing ANSI Class

600 components, but will be pressure-limited by the wall thickness and steel

grade of the pipeline to a MOP of 1440 psig.


Pipeline Construction Process

• The pipeline construction process can be broken down into the following phases.

• Pre-construction • Survey, Right-of-Way (Clearing and Temporary Fencing)

• Construction • Stringing, Pipe Gang, Firing Line (Welding), Non-

destructive Testing, Field Coating of Pipe, Ditching, Lowering In, Tie-In Installing Cathodic Protection, As-Built Survey, Back-fill,

• Testing • Hydrostatic Testing

• Restoration • Re-vegetation, Cleanup


Endangered Species Act (ESA)

Construction will require addressing Endangered Species Act (ESA) rules to protect the habitat of threatened and endangered species. • In consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the

project must ensure that our actions do not jeopardize listed species or destroy or adversely modify critical habitat.

• Permitting agencies such as EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, through the permit process, control whether there will be impacts to endangered species.

• The permit application includes a habitat conservation plan (HCP) consisting of: an assessment of impacts; measures that will be undertaken to monitor, minimize and mitigate any impacts; and additional measures that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may require.

• Affected species may include: birds, insects, fish, mammals, plants, clams, reptiles, amphibians, snails, crustaceans, etc.


Cultural / Historical Protected Sites Construction requires the protection of Cultural & Historical sites – specifically, Indian burial sites.

• There are two important federal acts that have an influence on historic properties and Native American graves. These are the National Historic Preservation Act and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

• In addition, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) promotes prevention of damage to the environment. This Act provides sacred sites protection.

Native American human remains, graves, and ritual objects located on federal and tribal land are encouraged to be protected in situ. If remains covered by the law are discovered, the project will be stopped for 30 days while the review and consultation process proceeds.

• In addition, the states have historic preservation laws that are designed to protect and direct actions on private property.


Survey


Right-of-Way

• Once construction surveying is complete, the ROW clearing crew prepares the site for construction.

• Wooden mats are laid down before construction to maintain construction workspace and to protect sensitive areas and adjacent pipelines.


Stringing Skids and Pipe – Stringing Pipe

• Individual joints of pipe are brought in from the coating yard and laid out end to end along the ROW.

• Pipe joints are unloaded from trucks using vacuum lifts or cables.


Pipeline Construction

• Pipeline construction is hazardous work.

• The rough terrain and unpredictable weather can provide for an unsafe worksite.

• The machines and equipment used in pipeline construction are powerful and require skilled and highly trained operators.


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• ETC and Wood Group Mustang have PPE requirements for the jobsite; this PPE is required for each job task.

• As a minimum, hard hat, steel-toe shoes, and safety glasses are required at all times.

Safety-Toe Shoes


Site Preparation

• Power lines can be electrical hazards even when contact is not made.

• It is imperative that workers and equipment keep the required minimum distance from power lines at all times. The required minimum distance is dependent on the voltage of the power lines.

• To warn workers of the hazard, flagging and warning signs are put up during site preparation.


Wood Group Mustang – Project Team

As a worker on this project we expect you to comply

with all OSHA, Client and WGM standards.

Correct those hazards which are within your ability and

report to us any which you may observe that are not.

Your safety and health and the safety and health of

all persons at this work site are our utmost priority

and we need your assistance.

The following information is presented to share our

safety expectations while you are working onsite.


Safety – A Core Value

• Safety is a Wood Group Mustang Core Value and our top priority.

Our HSE objective is simply stated: − No incidents,

− No harm to personnel or property, and

− No damage to the environment.

• Every project team member expects to get home safely every day.

Wood Group companies are committed to ensuring everyone,

everywhere, every day returns home safe.


Prohibited Items

SMOKING Smoking is permitted only in designated smoking

areas approved by management.

DRUGS/ALCOHOL/WEAPONS

Possession of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs,

firearms, or ammunition is not allowed at the jobsite.

Possession, use, or distribution of any of these items will result in disciplinary

action up to and including termination or removal from the project.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:No_Smoking.svg


Incident Reporting All incidents that result in any kind of personal injury (including first aid

cases), property damage, or harm to the environment must be reported.

Other incidents that must also be reported include security incidents, motor

vehicle incidents (MVIs), hazard concerns, or use of Stop Work Authority.

Examples of security incidents include but are not limited to: assault; threats

(imminent and non‐imminent) via any form of communication (verbal, written, etc.);

theft of personal or company property; vandalism; criminal trespassing; vehicle

break‐in; and vehicle theft.

Employees should make sure injured persons receive any required medical

attention and are safely located away from any remaining hazards.

Once these conditions are met, employees should notify their supervisor of

the incident; the supervisor should then contact the designated WGM Project

HSSE Representative or WGM Project Manager. If the WGM Project Contacts

cannot be reached, the supervisor should then call the WGM HSSE Hotline

at 1‐866‐313‐0052.


Near Miss Reporting


Life Saving Rules The Wood Group Lifesaving Rules (LSR) focus on supporting and encouraging

safe behaviors in the workplace by raising awareness of the activities which are

most likely to result in fatalities, and simple actions which individuals can take to

protect themselves and others. The LSR’s set a minimum standard for safe

behavior across the business. The nine (9) Lifesaving rules are as follows:

Everyone, Everywhere, Every day Safe Home.

Hazard Recognition


Disciplinary Consequence(s)

1. First Violation will result in a documented verbal warning

2. Second Violation will result in a written warning.

3. Third Violation will result in termination or removal from the project.

Exception: Violation of the Life Saving Rules may result in immediate termination

from the project without previous verbal or written warning.

Safety Violations (not immediately dangerous to life or health)


Disciplinary Consequence(s)

Safety Violations (immediately dangerous to life or health)


HazCom & GHS

39

The Hazard Communication Standard - OSHA

29 CFR 1910.1200

It is Your 'Right to Know'

*Every employee has the Right to Know what chemicals they will be working with on the job. It is a company’s responsibility to make the information accessible and

accurate. Employees should read, retain, understand, and train on the information for the chemical they are working around.


HazCom & GHS Hazard Communication Standard

Hazard Communication/GHS focuses on these main areas:

– Identification of Hazardous Chemicals

– Product Warning Labels

– SDS’s (formerly MSDS‘s)

– The Written Program

– Training

40


Tags, Signs, Warnings & Barricades There is to be compliance with all tags, signs and hazard warnings.

Barricades are a hazard warning system where there shall be compliance –

read the tag and comply with the color code.

Red - DANGER o Red / Danger barricaded areas are not to be entered unless authorization is

given by the owner of the barricaded area.

o Yellow tape means…. “Enter, but proceed with caution.” There must be a

label for the barricaded area at each point of possible entrance, stating the

hazards within the area and the contact person for the area.. Magenta (purple) and - RADIATION HAZARD o Radiation hazard areas are designed with magenta & yellow barricades and

radiation hazard signs. These areas are not to be entered.


Warning Signs

Signage coloring schemes dictate the type of risk and need for the user:

• Immediate Hazards – red and/or black on white

• Potential Hazards or Caution/Warnings – black on yellow

• Safety Instructions – green on white

• Radiation/Nuclear Barricade tape – yellow and purple

Competent Person

• The definition has two distinct parts: the first — “capable of identifying existing and

predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary,

hazardous, or dangerous to employees” — comprises a fairly loose standard that many

persons might consider themselves qualified to meet.

• The competent person must have the knowledge, intelligence, and wherewithal to recognize

and identify situations and conditions that put workers at risk. Such competence should also

include the ability to predict a hazardous situation.

• The second part of the competent-person definition — ”who has authorization to take

prompt, corrective measures to eliminate them” — can be a bit tricky for the designated

employee, as he or she must have the actual authority to stop work until the unsafe situation

is resolved. While theoretically some safety professionals have the authority to stop work,

upon actually doing so, they often find themselves in serious conflict with the same

management that granted them the prerogative as the designated Competent Person.


SAFE WORK PRACTICES Best practices to get home safe.


Project Specific Procedures

• Safety Execution Plan

− Addresses HSE activities relating to WGM’s HSE-MS Elements

− 9 Life Saving Rules

− WGM HSE Policy Statement

• Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

− The ERP establishes procedures and appropriate responses for

natural and human-caused incidents associated with pipeline

project activities.

• Security Plan

− Provides information and establishes protocol regarding

personnel security on the job.


Emergency Response


Medical

• Supervisor will identify local medical resource.

• Construction mgmt. may provide medical resources.

• Plant medical may be available when at a plant site.

• HSE can identify locations and create maps when notified of the need to do so; these will be provided in the WGM Emergency Response Plan.

• Example map is attached. Actual map(s) for current work area should be kept in Supervisor/Lead’s truck.


Safe Work Plan - Introduction • A site Safety and Health Plan (Safe Work Plan) describes the

potential hazards of the work site, along with company policies,

controls and work practices to minimize those hazards.

− The most important factor in reducing workplace injuries is

implementing the plan. Implementation requires management's

commitment to provide adequate resources for training, accountability,

self audits, and employee involvement.

• Although required by some states, OSHA does not require a

written comprehensive Safety and Health Plan. − OSHA does require that employees and their supervisors be trained in

the specific hazards and control measures associated with their

assigned tasks.

− The written Safety and Health Plan is a valuable tool in providing this

training.

• WGM requires project –specific Safe Work Plans be developed,

as needed, to meet project delivery baseline requirements.


Job Safety Analysis • The JSA concept is a safety discussion before

beginning work each day. JSA comes with instructions which provide guidance to use the form.

• JSA works by stating the hazards and then how the hazard is controlled for each task step.


Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

• JSAs are required for each task

• JSAs break down each task into the logical series of steps and identifies potential hazards

• JSAs also identify what PPE or protective measure(s) must be in place to safety complete the job

• JSAs provide an opportunity to mitigate hazards BEFORE they cause a problem

• JSAs shall provide emergency contact information

• JSAs shall be available at the work site

The Golden Rule for Permit to Work

• Before conducting work that involves confined space entry, work on energy systems, ground disturbance in locations where buried hazards

may exist, cold work activities or hot work in potentially explosive environments,

• a permit must be obtained that:

defines scope of work

identifies hazards and assesses risk

establishes control measures to eliminate or mitigate hazards

links the work to other associated work permits or simultaneous operations

is authorized by the responsible person(s)

communicates above information to all involved in the work

ensures adequate control over the return to normal operations


Stop Work Authority

• You have the right and responsibility to STOP work that is unsafe.

• It is not a requirement to be an expert in the work being reviewed nor do you have to be involved in the work in question

• If you do stop work, you should inform your supervisor and HSE.

• Here are some example circumstances that could warrant stopping work:

• Scope of work is beyond an employee’s skill level, understanding, or training

• Work could potentially result in injury to person, damage to environment, or damage to property


Safe Vehicle Driving - Best Practices

• Obey posted speed limit signs (per facility requirements). • Have a valid driver’s license, if you drive. • Seat belts are mandatory in cabs of trucks, in passenger

vehicles and where otherwise provided. • Cell phone and two way radio use is PROHIBITED while driving.

(exception- to report an emergency) • Keep dashboards clean and free of objects that can slide. • Keep mirrors and windows clean. • Enter and exit backs of trucks properly; keep arms and limbs

inside the confines of truck beds of pickups; DO NOT lean against the tailgate.

• “First Move Forward/Back in Parking” is recommended except in angled parking spaces.

• Yield Right of Way to pedestrians and heavy equipment.


Vehicle Safety - ATV

• Read manufacturer’s manual before using

• Speed causes rollovers

• Slow down on rough terrain and sloped corners

• Slow down when moving across sloped terrain

• Slow down when carrying high loads

• No riders in the cargo bed(s)

• One rider per seat

• Only four or six wheel vehicles

• Do not operate under influence of alcohol or any drug

Additional Training Required


Transportation - Boats • All requirements prescribed by the United States Coast Guard

must be strictly observed in U.S. waters.

• Authorized persons must operate boats only. The boat captain is in complete charge of the vessel and its passengers.

• Boat passengers must ride inside the cabin or in seats provided for passengers. The location of life preservers should be known.

• An approved life jacket or work vest must be worn when transferring to and from a platform or between vessels or when working on docks or platforms over water.

• Passengers should read emergency procedure instructions and listen to briefings given by the crew. Hearing protection may be required.



Personal Lifting Techniques

• Keep your back in good shape. Small, repeated damage over time can be as dangerous as one acute injury

• Plan your lift from start to finish: • Is it too heavy? GET HELP!

• Is the path clear?

• Is there a place to put the object down?


Ladder Safety

• When using a ladder, it must be tied off to a sturdy brace or be held by another worker

• If working off of a ladder, you must use fall protection if your feet are on or above the FIFTH rung

• Never stand on the top two rungs of a step ladder or the top three rungs of a extension ladder

• Always use 3 points of contact while working on a ladder.



Housekeeping

• Keep it clean….keep it orderly….keep it safe!

• Clean up your work area as you go.

• Potential hazards from poor housekeeping • Tripping over objects (hoses not rolled up, electrical wiring in

access/egress areas, etc.)

• Sharp objects protruding out of piles or hidden under debris

• Uneven walking surfaces hidden by debris

• Aggravation/frustration from clutter

• Debris/misplaced tools/etc. falling from heights

• Spilled chemicals/paint/other substances

Remember, the job is not complete until the area is clean!


WORKPLACE HAZARDS Safeguard yourself & co-workers to get home safe.

Hazard Recognition


Types of Hazards – Unsafe Acts Unsafe acts cause four times as many accidents and injuries as unsafe conditions.

1. Taking shortcuts: Short cuts that reduce your safety on the job are not shortcuts, but an increased chance for injury.

2. Being Over Confident: Confidence is a good thing. Overconfidence is too much of a good thing. “It’ll never happen to me” is an attitude that can lead to improper procedures, tools, or methods in your work. Any of these can lead to an injury.

3. Starting a Task with Incomplete Instructions: To do the job safely and right the first time you need complete information. Make sure of clear line on job task are understood by all!

4. Poor Housekeeping: Poor housekeeping creates hazards of all types. A well maintained area sets a standard for others to follow. Good housekeeping involves both pride and safety.

5. Ignoring Safety Procedures: Purposely failing to observe safety procedures can endanger you and your co-workers. Being “casual” about safety can lead to a casualty!

6. Mental Distractions from Work: Having a bad day at home and worrying about it at work is a hazardous combination. Dropping your ‘mental’ guard can pull your focus away from safe work procedures.

7. Failure to Pre-Plan the Work: Being hasty in starting a task, or not thinking throught the process can put you in harms way. Instead, Plan Your Work and then Work Your Plan.


Types of Hazards – Unsafe Conditions Unsafe Condition - A condition in the work place that is likely to cause property damage or injury. Most (99%) unsafe conditions were caused by an unsafe act. Therefore, 99% of all accidents are caused directly or indirectly by an unsafe act.

Examples include: • Inadequate guards or barriers • Inadequate or improper PPE • Defective tools, equipment or

materials • Proper tools or equipment not

available • Congestion of restricted area • Poor housekeeping • Inadequate warning systems

• Fire and explosion hazards • Noise exposure • Radiation exposure • Temperature extremes • Inadequate or excess

illumination • Inadequate ventilation • Hazardous environmental

conditions


Poison Ivy and Oak ...

Allergic reactions to three native American plants:

• poison ivy,

• poison oak, and

• poison sumac,

* All members of the plant genus Toxicodendron … have been

sources of misery for many centuries.


How does exposure occur?

• Because urushiol is in the resin of the plant, rubbing or crushing the plant or a leaf provides sufficient contact for an allergic reaction.

• Very small amounts of the chemical can provoke a serious reaction in susceptible people. Poison Ivy Rash

Lyme Disease

Lyme disease most often presents with a characteristic "bull's-eye" rash, accompanied by nonspecific symptoms such as fever, malaise, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, and joint aches.

Symptoms usually take 1 to 2 weeks to appear.


West Nile virus has been in the United States since 1999. The most common complication associated with the virus is encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain. People become infected by being bitten by a mosquito infected with West Nile virus. Mosquitoes become infected from feeding off of infected birds. Less than 1% of individuals infected with West Nile virus become severely ill. There is currently no vaccine available.

To reduce your chances of contracting West Nile virus, keep the following points in mind:

• Stay indoors at dawn, dusk, and in the early evening.

• Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever you are outdoors.

• Spray clothing with repellents containing permethrin or DEET since mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing. Apply insect repellent sparingly to exposed skin.

• An effective repellent will contain 30% DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) and apply every 6 hours. DEET in high concentrations (greater than 35%) provides no additional protection. For Children use 14% Deet and apply every 3 hours.

• Repellents may irritate the eyes and mouth, so avoid applying repellent to the hands of children.

• Whenever you use an insecticide or insect repellent, be sure to read and follow the manufacturer's DIRECTIONS FOR USE, as printed on the product. Note: Vitamin B and "ultrasonic" devices are NOT effective in preventing mosquito bites

The symptoms of West Nile encephalitis include fever, headache, and body aches, occasionally with skin rash and swollen lymph glands. More severe infection may be marked by headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, paralysis, and, rarely, death.

If you or your family members develop symptoms such as high fever, confusion, muscle weakness, and severe headaches, you should see your doctor immediately. Please contact your physician or http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/index.htm for more information on West Nile virus.


Other Outdoor Hazards Hazard Protections

Cougars, Mountain Lions

• Move away, avoid direct eye contact, grab any weapon available such as a rock, and try to be as intimidating as possible.

Bears • Make noise while you are working. If you see a bear, do not run. • Walk backwards slowly, away from the bear. The bear probably will do

the same. • If the bear approaches, try to look as large as possible (move to higher

ground, wave arms) and make noise to scare it away.

Bees, Wasps and Hornets

• Avoid perfumed soaps, shampoos and deodorants. • Remain calm and still if a stinging insect is flying around. (swatting may

cause it to sting). • If attacked by several stinging insects, run to get away. • Workers with a history of severe allergic reactions to insect bites or

stings should carry an epinephrine auto injector and wear medical ID jewelry stating their allergy.

Drinking water from lakes or streams

• Do not drink untreated water from springs, stream, rivers, lakes, ponds or shallow wells, as it might be contaminated with animal feces.

• Treat water from these sources with water purification tablets, or filter with appropriate filters. Employers are required by law to provide access to clean water.


Site Preparation

• Power lines can be electrical hazards even when contact is not made.

• It is imperative that workers and equipment keep the required minimum distance from power lines at all times. The required minimum distance is dependent on the voltage of the power lines.

• To warn workers of the hazard, flagging and warning signs are put up during site preparation.


Line of Fire and Pinch Points

• Include Line of Fire (LOF) and pinch points on JSA and discuss in tailgate meetings.

• Use barricades and warning signs as needed to limit access to hazardous areas.

• Evaluate your PPE for adequate hand protection.

• Be aware of other work in your area. • Use the 360 degree look around.

• Avoid pinch points.


Tools and Equipment

• Know the correct tool to use for a task and USE IT.

• If there is any doubt, ASK FOR HELP.

• Make sure you are trained and qualified to use the tool and/or equipment.

• Inspect all tools and/or equipment prior to use. • Do you know what to do if you find a damaged or defective tool?

• Keep tools in good working condition.

• Make sure that any electrical powered tools are properly grounded before use and that electrical cords are inspected and in safe condition


Hot Weather Work

• Heat-related emergencies can occur even when the weather is mild

• Strenuous physical activities conducted outdoors in hot weather, near heat sources, in high humidity, or in direct physical contact with hot objects have a high potential for inducing heat stress

• Especially important for workers who wear semi-permeable or impermeable protective clothing

• NOTE: Personnel need to drink water frequently and take adequate breaks to cool down while working in the heat.


Cold Weather Work

• The four environmental conditions that cause cold-related stress are:

• Low temperatures

• High / cool winds

• Dampness

• Cold water

• Wind chill, a combination of temperature and velocity, is also a crucial factor to take into consideration when working outside


Material Handling

• Working in an industry where cranes, cherry pickers, forklifts, etc. are used to move equipment can expose you to additional dangers.

• Be aware of all operations going on above, around, and below you.

Hot Work and Welding

• Potential Hazards: • Explosions and fires. • Injury and illness caused by heat

from the welding torch, UV light, sparks, noise, and improper grounding of electrical equipment.

• Mitigations: • Wear appropriate PPE, such as

face shield, long sleeve starched shirt, and gloves.

• Ensure adequate ventilation. • Use UV shielding for arc welding

where practical. • Remove all fire hazards away

from work area.


Hot Work and Welding

• Welding helmets protect the eyes, face, and neck from flash burns, ultraviolet light, and sparks.

• PPE is only effective if used properly.


Using Hand-held Tools

• Potential Hazards: • Using the incorrect hand-held tools.

• Hand-held tools are defective.

• Rotating parts

• Flying chips and sparks

• Mitigations: • Select the correct tool for the job.

• Inspect hand-held tools prior to use.

• Make sure loose clothing is tucked in.

• Wear appropriate PPE.

• Common hand-held tools include: • Grinders, cutting torch, shovels


Using Hand-held Tools

• Hand protection should be used when exposed to hazards such as cuts or lacerations, severe abrasions, punctures, splinters or unsafe temperatures.


Working Around Materials and Heavy Equipment

• Workers are standing clear of the dangerous areas while the heavy equipment is in use and there are multiple spotters assisting the operator.



• Proper communication on a construction site can help to prevent accidents.



• Unstable ground may cause equipment and material to be become stuck in the ground or fall over.

• Mats can also prevent equipment from damaging nearby utilities and existing pipelines.

• Use of wooden mats on soft wet ground is best practice.


Unsafe Side Boom Operation

• Safe operations of side boom depends on many variables that are controlled by contractors and machine operators.


Trenching

• Potential Hazards: • Damaging buried pipelines or cables. • Cave-ins.

• Mitigations: • Verify that the One Call (811) has

been made and that utilities are marked.

• Ensure that proper sloping, benching, or shoring techniques are utilized.

• Use trench boxes. • Ensure proper egress within a

maximum distance of 25 feet.


Safe Trenching

• Proper understanding of trench mechanics and establishing means of egress are critical for maintaining safety during operation in and around open trenches.

Ladders in trenches should be

secured to T-posts and extend at

least 36 inches above ground.


Trenching

• Trench boxes are engineered, metal structures used in trenches.

• The purpose of a trench box isn’t to shore up or support the trench wall, but to protect workers in case of cave-ins.

Hazard Information

• Get educated about your workplace hazards

• Participate in company orientations by asking questions

• Complete site specific orientations

• Pay close attention to placards and signs

• Know where the SDS’s are located and respect the chemicals you work around


Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) • Energy is an important part of your job. It runs

everything from computers to large machinery.

• Any type of energy, can be a safety hazard if it is release unexpectedly.

• This is why you need to know about lockout / tagout.



What is Lockout / Tagout?

• Lockout means putting a lock on the part of the machine that controls the energy.

• Lockout involves: • Shutting off and locking out electricity

• Releasing and locking out energy

• Draining and locking out material

• Lockout / Tagout must be used every time equipment is serviced or maintained.

• Tagout means placing a tag on the isolation point of the piece of equipment identifying the “competent person” who locked it out.



Confined Space Hazards

4 Atmospheric Hazards

• Oxygen Excess

• Oxygen Deficiency

• Toxic Gas or Vapor

• Flammable Gas or Vapor

5 Physical Hazards

• Engulfment/Entrapment

• Falls from Heights

• Falling Materials

• Electrocution

• Hazardous Liquid Chemicals



Permit Required Confined Space

A permit-required confined space (permit space) is a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics: • Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous

atmosphere; • Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an

entrant; • Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could

be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section; or

• Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard



Wood Group Mustang Policy

• Any time employees are working at an unprotected elevation of six feet or more above the ground, or the next lower level, fall protection must be used

• Working as stated above, means while traveling, stationary, or at any time exposed to a fall from a surface not protected by a standard guardrail or other approved fall prevention device



Prohibited User Actions

DO NOT

• Use a scaffold if it is not plumb, square, and rigid

• Use scaffolds during storms, rain, or high wind

• Climb with slippery shoes

• Jump on to planks or platforms

• Work if you notice any components which are damaged

• Extend working heights by planking guardrails or by the use of boxes or ladders on scaffold platforms



Material Handling Equipment

• Never operate any equipment unless you have received proper training

• All operators will be trained, authorized and certified prior to use of equipment



Crane Operations

• The Operator is responsible for verification of load weight, environment, and manufacturer recommendations

• A Rigger works directly with the Crane Operator to ensure the lift is done safely:

• Use tag lines to guide the load

• Tag lines should never be wrapped around the body

• Use universal hand signals to direct the crane in the lift / set-down



Specialized Work Procedures

• Management of Change (MOC) is a notification and approval process performed to proactively document permanent or temporary changes in the workplace

• This is used to address any problems or hazards that might develop in response to these changes

• Hazardous Energy Control is used to protect workers working around potential energy hazards (electrical, mechanical, pneumatic/gas, hydraulic/liquid, thermal, etc.)


Nondestructive Testing

• To ensure that each weld meets API 1104 standards, the welds are examined using nondestructive tests.

• Welds which do not meet standards are either repaired or cut out.


Hydrostatic Testing

• Lines will be hydrostatically tested.

• Potential Hazards: • Unanticipated/uncontrolled

release of high pressure water.

• Mitigations: • Place signs and barricades at the

test area to warn and protect personnel.

• Ensure unauthorized personnel are kept out of the test area.

WGM does NOT allow or perform pneumatic testing.


Hydrostatic Testing

• It is essential to put up hydrostatic test warning signs around the test area at a distance to protect workers from unanticipated pressure release or equipment failure.


Hydrostatic Test

• Hydrostatic test is the final test of pipeline integrity performed after the completion of all pipeline construction work.

• Requirements for this test are prescribed by federal guidelines.

• Hydrostatic test involves • pressurizing the pipeline with water to a specified test

pressure and for a specified duration. • observing for a pressure loss.

• If a leak is detected, the leak is located, repaired, and the pipeline hydro-tested again.


Emergency Response Plans

• Emergency response plans will vary site to site • Know your specific responsibilities

• Know PPE requirements and how to don properly

• Familiarize yourself with rally or muster points

• Know all facility evacuation routes, including location of windsocks

• If a chemical release occurs you will travel across and then upwind of the release


Rescue Plan

• Each worksite or facility must have a Rescue Plan for Work at Heights and Confined Space.

• Employees must be trained on how to activate the emergency response team

• Designated rescuers are trained on and aware of how to implement the plan



OSHA Requirements

OSHA identifies four levels of confined space training:

• Entrant – certified to enter the confined space

• Attendant – responsible for summoning rescue and other services during an emergency. They will notify the Supervisor of any problems or changes in the confined space

• Supervisor – maintains permit

• Rescuer – certified to enter confined space to rescue Entrant should an emergency arise



HAZWOPER Awareness

• Awareness-level employees are to: • Recognize that a hazardous material has been released

• Activate the site Emergency Response Plan

• Establish initial site control

• Under no circumstance are you to take any action to control or contain a release

• It is your responsibility to: • Report all discharges (no matter how small), leaks and spills

• Minimize waste

• Follow site disposal procedures


Summary

• All accidents are preventable

• JSA is a tool to help you decide what the hazards are and how to protect from them

• Know your ROW for the possibility of Poison Ivy, snakes, ticks, mosquitoes

• Keep your distance from hydrostatic tests

• Have medical preplanned


Closing

• The Wood Group Mustang Team cares about your

safety and health and we want you to have an

uneventful & SAFE experience while working with us on

this project.

• Our objective is to identify and control hazards, so that

we can reduce the risk that you and our personnel are
