what is process safety?
 Contractor management is a system of controls to ensure that
contracted services (third parties) support both safe facility operations and
the company’s process safety and personal safety performance goals

 This element addresses the selection, acquisition, use, and


monitoring of such contracted services.
 A ‘contractor’ is an individual or organization that is paid to provide a service
to a client without them being directly employed.

 The contractor scope of work in the process industries is significant, with many
organizations using contractors to deliver the following types of service :

1) Provision of additional manpower and labour, eg during high production or busy


maintenance periods;
2) Provision of specialist skills, eg during construction and shut-down activities.
3) This could include contracted designers through to provision of welders,
electricians and pipe fitters to install the plant and equipment.
4) Diving services, transfer vessels and catering companies can also often be found
as contractors to a larger organization.
 It is important to carefully select contractors and appoint on the
basis of their competence rather than for convenience.

 Clients can be held liable for the actions of contractors if they do


not take enough care in properly selecting them.

 Contractors need to be capable of delivering the works safely


and should have adequate experience of the process industry to
ensure that they understand the potential impact of their work on
the site and, in particular, any operational plant or processes.
 Experience in the type of work required, and experience of
working within the process industry (as the hazards of the
process industry may be substantially different from
construction sites, for instance).

 Trained and experienced in specific safety requirements of


the environment, eg offshore requirements may include
specific offshore survival training, etc;

 Suitability of the organization's health and safety policy.


 Suitability and quality of their risk assessments; examples
could be requested for assessment purposes.

 Suitability and level of detail provided in method statements.

 Accident history and statistics, including first-aid and near miss


reporting.

 Enforcement history and prosecutions.

 Details of how health and safety performance is monitored on site,


including site inspections.

 References from previous clients.


 Qualifications of workers throughout the organization,
including competency or site cards for workers and the health
and safety qualifications of managers and health and safety
advisers.

 Membership of a professional body or trade association.

 Procedures for the selection and management of


subcontractors.

 Details and levels of insurance cover.

 Arrangements for communication with clients.


 It is important to maintain a close working relationship with
contractors, and to be comfortable and satisfied with their safety
performance.
 This will require regular reviews of the activities of contractors,
which may include:

1- Carrying out site inspections to check compliance with the


method statements and risk assessments.
2- Carrying out safety tours to monitor general standards, including
housekeeping.
3- Attending regular meetings with contractors to discuss any
issues and review accident data.

4- Auditing and build HSE performance for contractor activities.


 While the information relating to site hazards may have been
provided initially at the tender stage.

 It is essential that all of the relevant information is communicated


to the individual workers.

 This is usually carried out by the use of a site induction.

 The site induction is a training and awareness session provided


for all contractors working on a site, and includes information
such as:
 Sign in/out procedures.

 Emergency procedures (fire, first aid, gas release, etc).

 Site rules, such as transport safety, smoking, work at height rules, etc.

 Specific site hazards, eg flammable atmospheres, chemicals, asbestos.

 PPE requirements.

 Permit-to-work requirements.

 Accident reporting procedures.

 Near-miss and hazard reporting (HOC).


o When contractors are used on site, they can be affected by the activities
carried out by the site workers (Ex. BP Texas Refinery).

o They should be included in process risk assessments and SSOW.

o There should be clearly identified persons responsible in place, for the


approval and day-to-day and to ensure that they are well managed and
supported for answering any questions relating to the job.
• Contractors in any workplace need to be assessed to ensure that
they are capable of carrying out the work.
• Monitored to ensure that they are working to the agreed health
and safety & PSM standards.
• This is even more important in the process industry, as the risks
are so much greater if the control is not correct.
• The initial assessment should be carried out based on the
method statements provided.
• Checks could include reviewing to ensure that the standards
meet legal requirements, and also follow accepted guidance,
such as that published by the HSE.
• During the work, the contractors’ working practices should be
monitored to ensure that they adhere to the conditions of the
method statements.
• This includes the monitoring of the standards that were
described at the tender stage to ensure that the promised
actions are being adhered to in practice at the job site.
• After the work has been completed, the client and contractor
should meet in order to review the standard of work and also
the manner in which the work was carried out.
• Including the accident history and other contractor performance
measures.
 Finally, once the work is completed, any plant, buildings or
equipment installed will need to be handed over to the client.

 Where there has been an installation, the level of information


required to be handed over on completion may be dictated by
legislation.

 Information that may be needed could include:


A. Operation and maintenance manuals;
B. Pipework and instrumentation diagrams;
C. Updated layout plans, including location of services;
D. Design specifications;
E. As-built drawings.
 A defining aspect of the explosion and fire at the BP Texas City
refinery in 2005 is that, although tragically, 15 contract
employees working in or near the trailers sited between the ISOM
and the NDU unit were killed.

 A total of 180 workers at the refinery were also injured, 66


seriously enough that they had days away from work. Of the
seriously injured, only 14 were BP employees.

 It was also established that none of the contract workers in the


area surrounding the ISOM were essential to the start-up of the
unit (Baker Panel Report) .
