Welcome!
Introduction
The TA HSSE induction is mandatory for all new TA arrivals. It covers HSE-TA specific
information to give guidance for a Safe execution of TA activities prior to and during TA-
2024.

This training is not all-inclusive. For certain jobs, there are specific requirements and
therefore specific training is required.

As a Team we share the responsibility to ensure that all TA-2024 related jobs are executed
safely and completed successfully, without any incidents.

and pressurized equipment.
 Rule 1: WORKING @ HEIGHTS
Working at heights (WAH) is defined as work in any area where fall protection must be in place to
eliminate the possibility of falling from a height. This distance is 1.8 meters (6 feet) or greater.

• WAH involves:
o All work at unprotected heights;
o Ladder access,
o Mobile elevated work platforms, and
o Scaffolding.

9
 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
• Only use elevated platforms that are equipped with guards,
handrails, and toe boards.

• Conduct a visual inspection of the fall arrest systems prior to each

use and remove any damaged equipment (including ladders,
scaffolding) from service.

• Ensure all tools used at height are secure from falling.

• Maintain 3-point contact when climbing or descending.

• Always close the swing gate and trapdoor.

• Always use approved scaffolds and read the yellow part on the
green tags.
• Never stand / sit on the railing of a scaffold.

10
 Rule 2: HOT WORK
Hot Work is any Job or activity that could introduce or create an ignition source in an area where
flammable/combustible liquids, gases, vapors, fibers or dusts exist.

These activities involves but not limited to burning, welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, grinding,
using fire- or spark-producing tools, or other work that produces a source of ignition.

11
 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
• Hot work can only be executed with an approved work permit package, which is understood and
communicated with the workers.

• Protect drains and vent/ bleed points.

• Use shields / fire blankets to prevent sparks from traveling.

• Initial Gas testing within 30 min for executing a hot work activity.

• Continuous gas testing with 1hr / 2hrs interval, depending on the Class HW.

• Have fire extinguisher equipment available and ready for use.

• Assure those involved are authorized, trained, and competent.

• Assign a fire watch to monitor HW activity and remain in place

for a minimum of 60 minutes after completion.

12
 PYROPHORIC MATERIAL
Pyrophoric Iron sulfide are typically found in, but not all included:
a) Hydrocrackers
b) Flare & Naphtha line
c) Distillation columns
d) Catalyst
e) Scale and Sludge
f) Reactors & Exchangers

Control measures to prevent ignition of pyrophoric materials are:

a) Chemical neutralization
b) Encapsulation with special chemicals
c) Drenching with water
d) Steam

SDS and maintenance history clarify the potential risks associated with pyrophoric
materials.

Pyrophoric material 13
 Rule 3: ENERGY ISOLATION
Stored energy sources shall be identified, isolated, tested and communicated to
appropriate personnel before work shall proceed (LOTOV).
• A Lock out device or lock is a positive secure control for immobilize/ inoperative
isolation devices, such as on pressurized systems, fluids, steam, gas, hydraulic or other
energy sources
• Lock out devices may include:
o Padlocks- One Key Equipment Lock Personal Lock Group Lock
Work Permit Lock

• Locks should always be used in combination with a tag:

• Test for Zero Energy and verify all isolation devices on the energy source of the
equipment to be worked on.

Energy Isolation 14
 Rule 4: CONFINED SPACE ENTRY (CSE)
For a work area to be defined as a confined space it must meet at least one of the three of the following
criteria:
1. Limited Openings for Entry and Exit.
2. The Space is not Intended for Continuous Human Occupancy.
3. The Space is Large Enough for You to Enter and Conduct Work.

Precautions for CSE

• Isolation and LOTOV
• Gas-freeing and gas testing
• Ventilation and frequent breaks
• Rescue plans, personnel (rescue personnel & man watch) and equipment

Confined space entry 15

 Rule 5: MECHANICAL LIFTING
• Lifting operations shall be planned and performed by qualified personnel only.

• Formulate a lifting plan based on the level of risk and complexity of the lift.

• Only lifting equipment that has been pre-inspected and certified shall be used.

• Stop the job, if conditions change such as heavy rain or a windstorm, or there
is a deviation from the lifting plan.

• Exclusion / Barricading Zone is only allowed

for Authorized personnel.

Mechanical lifting 16
 Rule 6: DRIVING SAFETY
Ensure that all Staatsolie employees, contractors and visitors use vehicles in a
safe manner and is ultimately aimed at eliminating driving related incidents.

• All occupants shall wear seatbelts when the vehicle is in motion.

Safety control bypass 18

 Rule 8: WORK AUTHORIZATION
For TA non-routine and high-risk activities, a Permit to Work (PTW) shall be obtained, as per
the TA project requirements.

• Verify that all hazards and simultaneous activities are identified,

communicated and controlled prior to commencing the work.
• Stop the job and reassess, if a change occurs in the work scope,
equipment, shift handover or any other conditions specific to the permit.
• Periodically monitor the effectiveness of the controls listed on the permit.

A PTW is not required for activities outside the process areas under the responsibility of
the TA (All these activities must be covered with an approved JSA)

Work Authorization 19
 Rule 9: LINE OF FIRE
Appropriate precautions shall be taken in every task to
prevent potential harm from moving machinery,
dropped objects and pressurized equipment.
