Jsa Nitrogen Purging

This document outlines the steps and safety measures for purging a system with nitrogen. Step 1 involves planning the task, identifying hazards such as lack of communication and pressurized fluids, and implementing controls like conducting a toolbox talk and positively isolating equipment. Step 2 is the purging process, with hazards like defective tools and ruptured hoses addressed through measures like using rated hoses and barricading the area. Step 3 covers task completion, winding up, and housekeeping to prevent scattered materials.

Description of Task Step Planning

Hazard Lack of Communication Non-compliance Energized Equipment Pressurized Fluid Nitrogen Cylinders / Unit Flammable & / or Toxic Atmosphere Unauthorized Work

Control Measures/ Preventive Measures Conduct a TBT to inform the workers of the tag & lock Plan the work involving personnel responsible for preparation (such as isolation, depressurization, draining, venting, flushing) of the equipment / system to be purged. Ensure the equipment / system to be purged is positively isolated from all sources of energy (hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical etc.) Use proper locks & tags for isolation Ensure the equipment / system is depressurized & content is drained safely. Arrange the adequate Nitrogen Cylinders / Unit considering the volume to be purged. Ensure the deployment of Nitrogen unit inside the plant does not create any hazard for the facility. Ensure the confined space is flushed, purged and thoroughly ventilated as required.

Description of Task Step

Hazard

Control Measures/ Preventive Measures Obtain the required permits from the permit issuer. Ensure the tools (such as N2 Unit, Pump, Hose, Coupling & Pressure Gauges etc) to be used are free from defect. Ensure the N2 supply hoses and couplings are rated for the required service and pressure. Stay away from the pressurized N2 hose & coupling to avoid cold burn in case of leak. Barricade the area & post warning notice. Calculate the amount of N2 required for the volume to be purged. Keep a close watch on the N2 supply flow meter. Ensure the disposal of purged volume to a safe location such as flare or vent. Do not enter a vessel / tank / pipeline which is purged with N2. Ensure proper wind up & housekeeping at worksite. The accessories (tools, hoses, couplings) must be disconnected and stored properly.
