Summary
This document refers to the element 4.2.3 “Quality planning” of the ISO
9001 standard. It focuses mainly on the Safety information regarding the TI
Project Team, the Shipyard Workforce and the Rig Crew, related to fire,
explosion prevention, access control, scaffolding, etc.
HS&E Guidelines for Shipyard Projects SECTION: 4
HQS-HSE-003 SUBSECTION: 4
6. Rig and Project Managers should ensure all personnel have registered
at respective embassies to facilitate emergency medical evacuation
procedures, if required.
7. The project manager should ensure that the names of all rig and project
employees are registered at the local TI office.
8. The project manager is responsible to provide an emergency response
plan for all contingencies. This Emergency Response Plan should be
integrated with the Region Emergency Response Plan and Protocol.
The Project Team’s Emergency Response Plans should not be
independent of the Region of Operation.
1. Each shipyard project will be provided with one Rig Safety Coordinator
and one Site Safety Coordinator whose common objective will be
accident prevention. The responsibilities and qualifications for these two
positions should be essentially, identical, except for specific physical
areas of responsibility.
2. The Rig Safety Coordinator will monitor all TI and third party personnel
on the rig for compliance with all aspects of the TI HS&E Manual.
3. The Site Safety Coordinator will monitor all shipyard and third party
personnel, not living on the rig but involved in TI projects, for HSE
compliance outlined in the bridging document.
4. Both safety coordinators will conduct weekly HS&E audits using the
audit format found in annex 3 of these guidelines. They will alternate the
locations in which they perform the audits. (Example: Week one, the rig
safety coordinator audits the rig, week two, the site, week three, the rig
etc.)
5. It should be noted that the reason for identical duties for the safety
coordinators is to maintain continuity as some projects may not be large
enough to require both positions.
6. The more specific responsibilities, for each coordinator, are as follows:
1. Develop outlines and present induction training to all new TI
personnel and periodically monitor training for shipyard and
subcontractor personnel.
2. Assist, advise and if appropriate, participate in risk assessments
THINK planning, START and Focus.
3. Review the firefighting plan to ensure it is viable, practiced and
there is sufficient pressure and agent to suppress fire at all areas
of operation.
4. Monitor emergency response drills in accordance with the TI,
HS&E Manual or the Bridging Document, as appropriate.
5. Assume a leadership role in development of THINK
planning for situations of major risk such as Heavy Lifts,
Transportation of personnel to various rig locations and other
situations of major impact.
6. Solve problems using safety systems as outlined in the “Safety
Management” section of these guidelines.
7. Conduct periodic checks of the Permit to Work system and take
appropriate action.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

5. Some environmental areas to be reviewed.
1. Do all hazardous materials have labels and are the MSDS Sheets
available for everyone to read?
2. Does the area have all protective equipment that will be needed
for the exposures?
3. Are materials used in such a manner (small quantities) as to
minimize waste?
4. Are containers in good condition?
5. Are flammable liquids stored in a safe manner?
6. Are drip pans installed under all equipment and are they plugged?
7. Are drip pans free of excessive oil?
8. Are all piping connections in good working order so there are no
leaks or stains on the bulkhead, piping or floor?
9. Are hazardous materials stored in designated areas and is
everyone aware of these areas?
10. When working over water, is all portable equipment clearly
marked with the owners name? Does this marking include
subcontractors?
11. Are flammable substance piping, containers, tanks and vessels
rendered inert when welding?
12. Have all employees received training in Hazardous
Communication?
13. Is a system developed and maintained to identify the location of
all hazardous material at the site? Are all emergency personnel
aware of these locations?
5. POLLUTION CONTROL
1. The risks identified in this section are not necessarily unique in function
but, in some cases are unique in magnitude or volume. For example,
housekeeping is a very common activity but it takes on a whole new
dimension in a shipyard operation.
2. Although there are some unique strategies for managing these risks, you
can never be wrong by returning to the basics of planning,
accountability, monitoring and the use of a “managed system”. The
following are strategies to manage the risks that are unique to shipyards:
1. Housekeeping
1. Scaffolds accumulate slag, used welding rods, grit and other
trash that when not cleaned up a little wind can cause particles
to be the source of eye or other injuries. This can be managed
through accountability of the scaffold user via a systematic
check list and regular visual inspections.
2. Power cords and welding leads are often spread across
walkways and other areas where they can contribute to trips
and falls. The remedy is to set standards for placement of
cords in the bridging document and require accountability by
requiring all subcontractors to identify their cords with a tag.
3. General housekeeping is sometimes poor due to empty cans,
overflowing dumpsters and similar debris. The problem is
usually with accountability and can be corrected by dividing
work areas into grids and assigning responsibility by grid.
4. Grit from sandblasting is somewhat unique, in that it will
accumulate at high levels, on the rig, and not become a
hazard until strong winds create a sand storm which results in
eye injuries. This risk can be controlled by holding painters
accountable and monitoring the results.
5. One way to improve housekeeping is by daily use of the
housekeeping checklist and audit, found in Annex 6.
Example: a grade of 100% for 90 days could result in a
recognition system. This or any other recognition program
should be negotiated with the shipyard contract.
2. Dropped Objects
1. Dropped objects is one of the most serious and prevalent risks
in shipyard operations
2. Some of the methods of control of dropped objects includes:
6. Radiation Safety
1. Radiation safety, is based on selection of the contractor, and
communication of the non-destructive testing program to all
concerned. The radiographic program, among other things,
should contain the qualifications of employees, handling of
radioactive sources and safety procedures.
2. From the standpoint of rig, shipyard and project management,
communication of the time and location of radiographic testing
is critical. Radiation Safety Guidelines are as follows:
1. Radiographic Technicians will set out safe boundary limits
below or equal to levels required by the regulatory body.
2. Boundaries will be identified by tape and radiation warning
signs. Yellow and black tape indicates caution and red and
white tape indicates that no access is allowed.
3. The only personnel allowed within the barriered zone are
those authorized to undertake radiographic testing.
4. When radiographic exposures are in progress, flashing
lights will be activated in the area of exposures.
5. Notification of radiographic work areas will be posted daily
by the project manager, or his designee, and the locations
will be communicated in all operations and safety
meetings.
7. Open Areas
1. Open areas represent a major hazard in shipyard operations,
but, with attention to detail can be well managed.
2. All open areas will be barricaded with the appropriate
barricade tape. (Yellow and black for caution and red and
white for no access).
3. A problem can exist when barricade tape is not removed when
the hazard no longer exists. The HS&E coordinator should
ensure that all barricade tape in place serves a useful purpose
and that all open areas are barricaded correctly. The locations
of open areas should also be communicated daily, at pre-tour
safety meetings and during THINK planning sessions.
8. Firefighting Capabilities
1. Water delivery capabilities, i.e. cubic meter, per hour and main
supply pressure at the greatest height should be confirmed
during the HS&E audit and prior to the signing of the contract.
Ideally there should be a primary and secondary source of
supply, with the rig system potentially being the secondary
supply depending on the circumstances of the project and
location.
2. The respective HS&E coordinators should ensure there is
sufficient fire hose to reach all areas of the rig. During weekly
drills the fire hose should be pressured up to ensure there is
sufficient water for emergencies.
3. Fire drills and assembly locations are unique to shipyard
operations and should be well spelled out in the bridging
document.
4. The fire water supply connection between the shore and rig
should be checked every 12 hours and logged in the rigs log
book.
9. High Pressure Testing
1. Safe operations while conducting high pressure testing is
founded on the following:
1. Selection of a quality contractor.
2. A risk assessment that includes the rig and project teams,
jointly.
3. A viable THINK Planning Process.
4. A complete Permit to Work Process.
5. Communication of the above planning processes to all
personnel.
6. Barriers to preclude entry into areas where high pressure
testing is being conducted.
2. The only personnel allowed within barriered zones are those
involved in high pressure testing.
3. Notification of high pressure testing areas should be posted
daily by the project manager, or his designee, and the
locations will be communicated in all operations and safety
meetings.
