1.1 YOU AND CHEVRON This handbook is for you, and is about your Safety, Health and Well Being. The intent of this handbook is to provide guidance to our contractors and employees regarding Chevron Thailands expectations of its employee and contractor workforce. If a safety issue arises that is not addressed in the handbook or by the contractors own safety program, do not hesitate to ask for guidance from the contractor representative or a Chevron Thailand representative. As a Chevron or Contractor Employee working for Chevron Thailand you have a responsibility for your personal safety and the safety of your co-workers. You are expected to follow the Chevron Thailand Rules and Procedures and the Instructions of your Supervisor. The President has authorized you to stop or refuse to do any work you consider unsafe or that you are not qualified to do. If you are a Short Service Employee (SSE), you must have a mentor and complete a 6-month SSE work program. Discuss this with your Supervisor. You are required to report any near misses, accidents or injuries to your Supervisor immediately. As a subordinate, it is your responsibility to support
1/1

and cooperate with your supervisor in a way that benefits and improves the Safety and Operational Excellence Culture for everyone. For Contract Employees, in addition to compliance with the Chevron OE/ HES requirements, you must follow your Companys HES Procedures and Requirements. Each employee and visitor must have their Supervisor or designated person provide an orientation about their facility, location or operation prior to beginning work. The Chevron Thailand Behavior Based Safety (BBS) and Hazard Observation (HazOb) Programs are important and require your participation. See the details in the Incident Free Operation - Safe Work Practices Section. 1.2 PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT Chevron Thailands goal is to achieve an Incident Free Operation (IFO). We want everyone to return home to their loved ones safely and without injuries or sickness. Chevron and Your Priorities Must Always Be: 1. Protection of People 2. Protection of the Environment

1/2

3. Protection of the Company Assets and Reputation See the plastic cards included with this Handbook about the Tenets of Operation and the Stop Work Authority. Your primary contact with Chevron Management is your supervisor. Each supervisor is responsible for administering the Chevron Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) for their area of responsibility. This is part of the Leadership Accountability Requirements of the OEMS. All personnel are required to attend OE and Safety Meetings per the requirements of the Facility. Supervisors must conduct pre-job and safety meetings and worksite visits appropriate to the scope of work for all assigned tasks. Chevron will provide or arrange training to ensure you have the competency and necessary tools and support to perform your duties safely and in compliance with all requirements. Always review the training requirements for your position with your supervisor.

All Policies, Procedures and OE Documents, etc. are available on the Chevron Thailand Intranet. If you need copies or assistance, contact the OE / HES Department. 1.3 TENETS OF OPERATION To achieve and sustain our objectives, we must develop a culture where everyone believes all incidents and operating disruptions are preventable and that zero incidents is attainable. The Tenets of Operation provide a foundation for an operational excellence culture at Chevron Thailand. Tenets are a code of conduct used by employees as a tool to guide daily decisions. Leaders play an important role in reinforcing behaviors consistent with the tenets. The Tenets of Operation are based on two key principles: 1. Do it safely or not at all. 2. There is always time to do it right. The tenets state and require you to ALWAYS: 1. Operate within design or environmental limits. 2. Operate in a safe and controlled condition. 3. Ensure safety devices are in place and functioning.

3.2 Chevron Thailand General Safety Rules ........... 16

3.1 CHEVRON THAILAND POLICIES All employees and contractor personnel must comply with the following Chevron Thailand Policies: STOP WORK AUTHORITY Chevron Thailand has written Stop Work Authority Policies for Employee and Contractor personnel.

3
The Employee and Contractor are empowered and expected to stop the work of co-workers, Chevron employees, supervisors, or other contractors if any risk to a persons safety or unsafe work practice is observed. The following is a condensed version of the Stop Work Authority policies: At Chevron, we ALWAYS comply with the Tenets of Operation. This is our commitment to build the injury free workplace. The Stop Work Authority Card has been developed to be used to stop any work that does not comply with these tenets, and there will be no repercussions.

3/1

SHORT SERVICE EMPLOYEE (SSE) PROGRAM The purpose of this program is to ensure that all Short Service Employees are correctly identified, properly inducted, adequately trained and supervised in OE/ HES polices/ procedures and continuously monitored prior to assuming full job responsibilities.

The objective is to prevent incidents and injuries to themselves or others, and damage to the environment or company property. Chevron SSE means: All Chevron employees, including contractors working under a Hire of Labor contract, who: 1) Have worked for Chevron for less than six months (regardless of the amount of previous industry related experience the employee may possess), or 2) Have worked in the current operating environment for less than six months. This definition is based on recognition of the importance of the following conditions: New hires, whether coming from school or another line of work, do not have the knowledge base to immediately recognize and understand the hazards in their workplace.

3/2

 Significant job function changes, for example; a change from a production operator to a mechanic position. A significant change in work environment in which the ability of an individual to fully recognize all the hazards in the new workplace may be limited due to their unfamiliarity. Time is required, along with coaching and training, for the SSE to safely adjust to the new work environment. Examples of changes in the work environment include: - A move from a facility in the Gulf of Mexico to a facility in the Gulf of Thailand - A move from an onshore facility to an offshore facility or vice versa Each SSE will wear a distinctive GREEN hard hat whenever they are in the field. This GREEN hard hat allows quick identification of the SSE personnel by other team members.

For the full text of these policies, refer to Chevron Thailand Short Service Employees Program.

3/3

SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICIES Chevron Thailand has written Substance Abuse Policies for Employee and Contractor personnel. For the full text of these policies, refer to the Substance Abuse Policies. The following is a condensed version of these policies:

3
Introduction Substance abuse is a global concern that demands attention from all parts of society including industry. Substance abuse may lead to serious property damage, loss of life, injury, accident, work performance deterioration or other job performance problems. Safety is a critical issue within the Company and procedures must be in place to control substance abuse in the workplace or any location where contract employees are engaged in the company business. Substance abuse is defined by the Company as the harmful or improper use of any substance which chemically modifies and potentially impairs an individuals mental or physiological functions. Substance Abuse Policy The Company supports its safety programs by

3/4

striving to ensure that its employees and contractors do not operate equipment or perform their duties whilst impaired by the use of any substance including, but not limited to, alcohol, drugs and medication. Contractor employees must comply with the company Substance Abuse Policy as a condition of continued employment on the company facilities. Any violation of policy or refusal to consent to any test for alcohol or drugs or to the release of test results may be grounds for contractor employees to be disallowed to work on the company facilities. The company reserves the right: to require contractor employees to pass physical examinations, including tests for controlled substances, prior to being assigned to work at the company facilities and to pass subsequent follow-up examinations. to search the personal effects of contractor employees for controlled substances on company facilities, with just cause. to test contractor employees for the presence of controlled substances in their bodies. to make changes and amendments to its Substance Abuse Policy, as it deems appropriate.

3/5

Random Testing The Company conducts a program of random tests to deter substance abuse. Employees who work in safety or environmentally sensitive areas are subject to the program. Breathalyzer and/or urine tests may be carried out at each location, at least but not limited to the following; 2 times/ month/ location 2 persons/ time Total 4 persons/ month/ location

Testing with Cause Tests are carried out when the company has reasonable cause to believe that substance abuse has taken place. Tests are routinely carried out on individuals involved in accidents or unsafe acts. In other situations, the decision to test with cause is normally made by two levels of the company management, including the Departmental Manager or his alternate, the Manager, Human Resources or his alternate and management of the contractor company. In testing with cause, breathalyzer and/or urine tests are carried out. Examples of situations which may lead to substance testing with cause are as follows: Accidents;

3/6

Unsafe acts; Excessive absenteeism, including poor time keeping; Unexplained significant deterioration in individual job performance; Reports by others of individual or group substance abuse where there is reason to believe the reports to be true; Admissions regarding substance abuse; Individuals who have failed substance tests previously; Individuals who test at or above 0.05% breath alcohol concentration.

Controlled Substances Alcohol The possession, consumption, purchase or sale of alcohol on offshore facilities is prohibited. Contractor employees must not be impaired by alcohol on any the company facility or when performing business on behalf of the company outside its facilities.

3/7

Illegal Drugs Illegal drugs are drugs, narcotics, inhalants and other controlled substances which are not legally obtainable, or which are legally obtainable but not obtained or used in a lawful manner. The possession, use, manufacture, purchase, sale, transfer of an illegal drug or having an illegal drug in ones system at a level equal to or above a level set by the company Health and Medical Services is prohibited: on all the company premises. in the course of conducting the company business off the company premises. if the contractor employee affects his fitness for duty or may harm the reputation of the company.

Suspension from Work The company reserves the right to disallow any contractor employee who violates the substance abuse program from working on the company facilities. Contractor employees who violate the program may be allowed to continue to work on the company facilities at the discretion of the company senior site management at the work location where the contractor is employed. However, contractor
3/8

employees who test positively for controlled substances may not work on the company facilities unless and until they test negatively for controlled substances and receive clearance to return to work from the company Health and Medical Services and the company senior site management. If the company senior site management agrees that a contractor employee who has tested positively for a controlled substance may return to work on the company facilities if the result of the retest is negative, the contractor employee must retest within 30 days of the initial positive result. Retests are arranged through the company Health and Medical Services. If the result of the retest is negative, the contractor employee may return to work on the company facilities upon release by the company Health and Medical Services and approval of the company senior site management. If the result of the retest is positive or the contractor employee fails to take the retest within 30 days of the initial positive test result, the contractor employee is not normally allowed to work on the company facilities again. Helicopter Travel Contractor employees who test at or above 0.05 percent breath alcohol concentration may not travel by helicopter until they test negatively for alcohol (below 0.05%), receive clearance from Health and Medical Services and are authorized by the
3/9

company senior site management to return to work on the company facilities. Flight crews are required to have zero breath alcohol concentration.

3
Boat Travel Contractor employees who test at or above 0.05 percent breath alcohol concentration may not travel by boat until they test negatively for alcohol (below 0.05%), receive clearance from Health and Medical Services and are authorized by the company senior site management to return to work on the company facilities. Disciplinary Action The company reserves the right to disallow any contractor employee who violates its substance abuse program from working on the company facilities. Notwithstanding this right, the company senior site management may allow contractor employees who violate the program to return to work on the company facilities provided:
3/10

the contractor employee retests negatively for controlled substances within 30 days of the initial positive test result and is given clearance by the company Health and Medical Services and the company senior site management. the contractor company effects satisfactory disciplinary measures against its employees who violate the program. Satisfactory disciplinary measures are normally required to be in line with the company disciplinary guidelines for its employees.

LIMITATIONS ON WORK SCHEDULES You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Thailand, including Ministerial Regulation No. 7 (B.E. 2541) which specifies the limitations on consecutive working days and days off. As stated in Article 1 of the regulation, the maximum continuous working days for petroleum workers shall not exceed 28 days and individuals working more than 14 days must be provided continuous days off of not less than 50% of the corresponding working days. Chevron Thailand strongly supports compliance with these legal limits. Allowing individuals to work in excessive of these legal limits results in an increased risk to the safety of the over worked individual as well as all other personnel working with that individual.
3/11

You will be required to view the safety video presentation each time you arrive back at your offshore location. 4.3 PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS A new ministerial regulation (under Labour Protection Act B.E. 1998) dated 29 December 2004 on Rules and Procedures for Physical Examination of Company Employees and Submission of the Examination Results (2004), specifies the requirement for employers to provide a physical examination at least once a year for employees who work in hazardous areas and submit the examination results to a Labour Official. This rule may also apply whenever the employee takes sick leave for 3 consecutive days. The employer may ask the employee to have a physical examination before the employee returns back to work. To comply with this regulation, Chevron Thailand will mandatory require all offshore employees & contractors to have yearly physical examinations. Chevron Thailand requires all new employees and contractors and service personnel scheduled or planning to work offshore or in a remote onshore location more than 30 days per year or who are on contract for one year or longer to take a Chevron Thailand physical examination.
4/3

This health screening is to ensure the fitness of each individual and to protect employees from the consequences of accidents or illnesses.

All examination results will be sent to the Chevron Thailand OE / HES, Medical & Security Department. Notification of approval, along with the due date of the next examination (for offshore personnel), along with bio-data which will be checked each time an individual goes offshore. If someone is unfit for duty, the employees Chevron supervisor, or contractor company representative, will be notified. New offshore employees should take the physical examination prior to making their first trip offshore. Examinations are provided by Chevron or Contractors Management, and arrangements can be made by your supervisor, employer, offshore medic, Heliport (Hangar) clinic or the Bangkok OE/ HES, Medical Department.

4/4

4.4 EMERGENCY TRAINING REQUIREMENTS New arrivals who will spend more than 30 days per year offshore are required to be trained in Tropical Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (T-BOSIET) or Company Approved Courses. Designated personnel will receive formal training for emergency response as required. 4.5 ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Protecting and caring for the environment is a responsibility of every Chevron and Contract Employee. This means being aware of how your work and activities can potentially harm the environment. You have heard it said that we only get one environment so you must be serious about protecting it. Chevron Environmental Stewardship is one of the OE Expectations that strives to continually improve environmental performance and reduce impacts from our operations.

You must be aware that even everyday tasks can have a harmful effect; however, you can reduce or eliminate these harmful effects by minimizing the
4/5

materials you use (dont waste), reuse (recycle) materials whenever possible, eliminate and substitute harmful substances with bio-friendly substances, ensure waste materials are disposed of correctly. Remember every task has an operational, health, environmental and safety aspect - dont forget the environment. Always ensure that the hazard and precaution sections of your work permit clearly identify the environmental concerns and protective measures.

Dont throw things into the sea or on the ground. Do remind your co-workers of the importance of being environmentally aware. Any person observing a spill must immediately notify their supervisor. Actions to stop the source and contain spilled materials must begin immediately. However, the material and situation must be assessed first to ensure personnel have the proper PPE and response materials. No one should be put at personal risk. At Chevron Thailand we want our personnel and operations to be green and clean in everything we do.

5.1 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Everyone is required to use the proper PPE while on the job. This will include the following (as appropriate): FIELD WORK CLOTHES Long pants and shirt or coveralls are required while working in any operating area (offshore, plants, warehouses). Frame Retardant Clothing (FRC) or 100% cotton fiber is required, short sleeve shirts or coveralls are acceptable for working in a location where a potential hazard to the arms does not exists. Loose or ragged clothing shall not be worn at work locations. Clothing (including shoes) saturated with petroleum products or chemicals shall be removed immediately to prevent skin irritation and possible ignition. Personnel handling hazardous chemicals or substances shall wear suitable protective clothing as specified on the label or MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). FOOTWEAR Approved safety boots or shoes must be worn outside of the offices, living quarters or whenever there is the possibility of a foot injury.
5/1

This footwear must be kept in good condition and shall not have any nails, studs, or steel parts exposed. If your shoes are slippery clean them. Many accidents are caused by slipping.

SAFETY HARD HATS An approved plastic safety hard hat, equipped with a chin strap for windy conditions, shall be worn whenever you are outside the offices or living quarters or whenever there is the possibility of head injury. Hard Hats shall be worn in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. Metal hard hats are forbidden. Hard Hats normally have a service life of 5 years after manufacturing date (see stamp on each hat). The Hard Hat Liners need to be checked regularly and changed out every year. After prolonged exposure to sunlight or any mechanical chemical damage the hard hats are to be scrapped.

EYE PROTECTION Adequate eye and face protection devices in accordance with the Company eye protection standard must be worn when there is a danger of flying particles (when grinding, chipping, buffing, welding, etc.) or when handling corrosive liquids or where signs designate that eye protection should be worn.
5/2

Eye protection with dark lenses must be worn near burning, cutting, arc welding, or wherever light or heat rays can cause eye injuries. Welding operations produce ultra violet light which may damage the eye. Screens should be used by the welders to protect other personnel in the area.

HEARING PROTECTION All personnel working in areas where signs designate the area as having high noise levels must wear hearing protection. These areas are where noise levels exceed 85 decibels A(dBA) for 8 hours or Time Weighted Average (TWA). Employees who expect to have occasion to enter such areas during the course of their days work should have their hearing protectors with them at all times. While offshore, it is recommended that hearing protection be worn at all times outside the quarters and especially while riding on crew boats.

GLOVES Wear the correct protective gloves when handling: wire ropes and slings (use leather gloves)

5/3

corrosive materials (use rubber gloves) hot items (use welders gloves) sharp materials (use general work gloves)

WORK VESTS All employees and contractors will wear work vests while riding crew boats, supply boats and personnel baskets and prior to entering areas below cellar deck level. LIFE JACKETS All personnel will wear life jackets when traveling by helicopter, during an emergency or a drill on the LQ, Drilling Rig, and Construction Barge or in the lifeboat/life raft/rescue boat. RESPIRATORS AND BREATHING EQUIPMENT Appropriate dust or canister masks must be worn when working with dusty materials, paint spraying, grit blasting, etc. Any hindrance, such as beards, that will not permit a tight seal of the breathing apparatus to the face is not allowed. Self-contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) shall be worn if it is necessary to enter a gas or smoke filled area, or

5/4

any area deficient in oxygen. This is to be done only by the personnel trained to do so. Whenever SCBA are being used, at least two men, other than the wearer, must be in attendance. They should be located outside the contaminated area and must have a second breathing apparatus set available for immediate rescue. For entry work, a confined space certificate plus the appropriate work permit is required. Any environment containing a substance which may be irritating or corrosive to the skin will require the use of additional or special clothing while performing entry work.

FALL PROTECTION An approved safety harness with soft-stop lanyards or lifelines attached shall be worn: where no other fall protection can be provided. when entering enclosed spaces where it may be necessary to rescue an injured or incapacitated person. while working on suspended scaffolding or in a bosuns chair. when performing any work over water.

5.2 SAFETY SIGNS Safety signs are important to: warn and remind of conditions and situations that can cause injuries, illness or accidents. provide safety instructions.

Safety signs, however, do not lessen your responsibility for following the required safety measures. Safety signs are classified in various ways: e.g. prohibitions, warnings, instructions, emergency measures, guidelines and informational. Signs are intended to convey information visually by means of different shapes and colors.

You must be familiar with the following safety signs: 1. Instruction signs Instruction signs advise you to use the correct type of PPE for the work to be carried out, including specialized PPE. Sign style: background = blue; diagram or text = white Examples:

6.1 HAZARDS MATERIALS It is important to be aware of the hazards associated with the Chevron operations. This section gives you a brief introduction to these hazards. The words HAZARD and TOXICITY are two important occupational and health terms. They are defined as follows: Hazard: The possibility that exposure to a situation or material will cause injury or harm. Toxicity: The capacity of a substance or material to cause harmful health effects when the body is exposed to the material at certain concentrations. This exposure can be by touch, absorption through the skin, inhalation through the nose or mouth, or by swallowing.

6/1

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS Chevron Thailand has provided access to Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS program called Chemwatch that give specific details on the use, hazards and toxicity of the materials and substances used at the workplace. The MSDS sheets also give details on the precautions to be taken, the proper protective equipment to be used, and on treatment for anyone who has been exposed to the substance. They also provide information on how to deal with a fire involved with the substance.

Always review the safety information and related standards with your supervisor before beginning your work.

6/2

HYDROCARBONS

There are a number of hazards associated with Hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon production: Pressure: The high pressure which is associated with the production of natural gas, oil and condensate liquids can rupture pipe and equipment that is improperly sized or of the incorrect pressure rating. Flammability: In addition to the hazards associated with pressure, there is always the hazard of explosion and fire. Never allow hydrocarbons to escape freely or uncontrolled. Toxins: The natural gas, oil and condensate liquids of Chevron Thailand contain small quantities of two toxic substances, Benzene and Mercury. Day to day, these are contained in the systems and do not present a hazard; however, it is important that you be aware of them. Although Chevron Thailand does not have a specific problem with Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in the Gulf of Thailand, it is a hazard which can occur during both drilling and production activities.
6/3

Therefore, everyone should be familiar with the effects of this toxic gas. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) can paralyze the respiratory system and kill in minutes. Even at low concentrations, it is dangerous to health.

Benzene:

Benzene is a naturally occurring compound in crude oil and natural gas. It is a highly flammable liquid with a strong rather pleasant aromatic odor. It evaporates rapidly under normal conditions and produces harmful vapors that are nearly three times heavier than air. Benzene is considered a cancer causing substance. Therefore, contact should be avoided through the use of proper protective equipment and respirators or breathing apparatus protection.

Mercury:

Mercury is a heavy, shiny liquid metal which is extremely poisonous. It has a cumulative effect, and can be absorbed by inhalation of vapors as well as absorption through the skin. At room temperature mercury generates sufficient vapors to be harmful.
6/4

Mercury shall not be handled unless the personnel concerned are trained to do so, established procedures are implemented, and all specified PPE is being worn.

Hydrogen Sulfide:

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is colorless, heavier than air, and at low concentrations (10 parts per million or less) smells like rotten eggs. It is extremely dangerous because the sense of smell is lost soon after breathing concentrations as low as 100 ppm. High concentrations cause immediate unconsciousness and death can follow quickly. The following are some additional characteristics of hydrogen sulfide: 1. Immediately fatal when inhaled in high concentrations. 2. Denser than air and settles in low areas. 3. Disperses easily by wind or air disturbance. 4. When burnt (fire/flaring etc.) it produces a blue flame and Sulfur Dioxide (another toxic gas). 5. Will corrode and embrittle certain types of metal. 6. H2S is 5-6 times more deadly than Carbon Monoxide. H2S relative concentration (parts per million in air = ppm) toxicity:

6/5

Physical Effects of H2S Exposure

6/6

Actions to take if you smell H2S: Hold your breath. Evacuate quickly to a safe position upwind. Move cross wind if you dont know the location of the source. Put on Self Contained Breathing Apparatus or escape Breathing Apparatus set. Sound the alarm. Do not attempt to help anyone until you have put on breathing apparatus. Work in pairs, have a back-up. Help anyone who may be in distress, take spare breathing apparatus.

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES Acids Acids are strong substances with a Ph below 6. They vary in strength and concentration and are generally used as a strong liquid solution. Strong acids are hazardous, toxic, corrosive and reactive and must be handled with extreme care and with appropriate protective equipment.
6/7

Acids will cause chemical burns when contacting the skin and are poisonous if ingested. The vapors from acids are very hazardous and can cause internal as well as external chemical burns. Hydrochloric and Sulfuric Acids are the two most commonly used. Caustics Caustics are strong substances with a Ph above 8. It varies in strength and concentration and is generally used as a strong liquid solution. Like acids, caustics are hazardous, toxic, corrosive and reactive and must be handled with extreme care and with appropriate protective equipment. Caustics cause chemical burns and are poisonous if ingested. Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) is the most commonly used.

Chemicals All chemicals should be considered hazardous and treated with respect, and only handled with the appropriate personal protective equipment. Some additional basic rules are as follows:

6/8

Smoking, eating and drinking is prohibited while handling chemicals. Ensure all chemicals are segregated by type and properly labeled. Use only containers and materials known to be suitable to the chemical. Do not mix chemicals unless following written instructions. Properly neutralize and dispose of unused chemicals and their containers. Clean up and immediately give special attention to your personal hygiene after handling chemicals.

6/9

If a chemical contacts your body, immediately go to the nearest emergency shower or source of clean water and flush the exposed area with large quantities of water. Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Obtain first aid and follow-up medical attention.

Gases

If a release of gas occurs, get out of the area, move across and upwind from the area. Notify the Control Room and/ or Radio Room, or call the emergency number. Put on protective breathing apparatus if you must enter the area to rescue someone. Do so only if qualified and safe, do not put yourself at risk. Move any victims to a safe upwind position and administer first aid.

6/10

RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AND OPERATIONS Operations involving radiation hazards shall be performed under the direction of a qualified person designated as responsible for radiation safety. A Permit to Work must been obtained prior to commencing operations involving Radioactive sources. If possible, all radiographic work shall be carried out during breaks, or at night. Areas where Radioactive sources are to be used must be roped off. Proper warning signs shall be conspicuously posted and used around the area. Personal Radiation Monitors of an approved type (e.g.: film, badges, audible alarming monitors) shall be worn by all personnel handling and working near Radioactive materials. Chevrons storage and transport policy regarding Radioactive sources must be followed at all times. GASOLINE USAGE AND ENGINES The use of gasoline engines is not recommended. Gasoline engines are allowed only with the approval of the OIM/Facility Manager and shall be restricted to engines when other power sources are not available.

6/11

Gasoline is the most widely used flammable liquid. Gasoline generates flammable vapors at ambient temperatures. It has a flash point of -45F (-7C). Due to its low flash point, gasoline presents a greater potential fire hazard than most other fuels. Because of this, gasoline storage in office buildings is prohibited. Gasoline vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low lying areas. Special precautions shall be taken to ensure proper ventilation when using gasoline. Storage, handling and use of gasoline require special attention. Gasoline containers shall be clearly labeled, stored in its designated place and used only as fuel for which it was intended. Gasoline shall only be stored in safety cans. Emergency Actions For Hazardous Substances

Notify control room/ radio room. Remain calm. Consider any leak or spill of unknown substances to be dangerous. Put on personal protective equipment. Do not act hastily. Do not breath, taste, or touch it. Identify the material first. Consult MSDS for proper handling - precautions - actions.

6/12

Work in pairs and have a back-up. Do not be over-confident.

6.2 ELECTRICAL Electricity is an additional hazard associated with Chevrons operations. Electricity should always be treated with respect as it can cause injury and death by electrical shock! It can also cause fires and explosions if a spark or fault occurs in the presence of hydrocarbons or other flammable materials. Precautions

Electrical work shall only be conducted after a work permit and the appropriate isolation and Lockout procedures have been completed. Hazardous area classification and hot work procedures must be observed in hydrocarbon processing areas (see the discussion on Area Classification in this Section). Metal ladders and other conductive objects must not be used while performing electrical work. Keep electrical equipment dry and avoid wet areas or working on wet electrical equipment.

6/13

SAFE ELECTRICAL WORK PROCEDURES A permit to work is required for all non-operational work involving electrical devices, equipment, tools, or instrumentation. There are no exceptions. Only trained and authorized persons are permitted to enter electrical enclosures, perform electrical work, or make repairs or connections to electrical equipment. Insulating precautions such as rubber mats, earthing rods, non-conductive PPE must be used when working with electricity. (No metal frame glasses.) Before beginning any electrical work: Observe and follow precautions and the information on signs or tags affixed to the equipment as appropriate. Circuits must be de-energized, whenever possible. The disconnect, switch-gear or feeder must be locked-out. (Padlocked) A tag describing the work must be attached at the lock-out point. A gas leak check, with a gas detector, and additional hot work procedures are required before beginning electrical work in hydrocarbon areas.

6/14

Only electrical equipment, tools, and methods approved for the classification of the area shall be used in areas classified hazardous.

When completing electrical work: Ensure all grounding and other protective measures are restored. Install and/or replace all covers, housings and seals prior to energizing any circuit. When electrical equipment is placed back in service, two persons are required, one at the machine and one at the lock-out point to coordinate restarting. This will ensure that the machine operates properly and that no one will be harmed.

STATIC ELECTRICITY Tanks storing hydrocarbon products shall not be splash filled. Overhead fill lines shall have down spouts extending to the bottom of the tank. A filter screen shall be placed well forward of the outlet to permit any accumulated charge to dissipate before reaching the tank. Barges and trucks shall be electrically bonded to the loading or unloading lines before hoses are connected and hatch covers are opened.

6/15

If steam or water is used to clean oil storage tanks and separators, nozzles shall be bonded to the vessel first. Sandblasting hoses shall be of the anti-static type or the nozzle shall be electrically bonded to the vessel being blasted. Plastic buckets shall not be used to collect hydrocarbons. A metal bucket with a metal handle can be used provided the handle of the bucket does not have a plastic or wood grip. Plastic or wood grips prevent buckets from being bonded to the valve or other metal parts and static charges generated cannot dissipate.

6.3 AREA CLASSIFICATION Area classification is a term relating to the type of electrical equipment that can be installed or used in areas with equipment containing hydrocarbons or other flammable materials.

For Chevron Thailand Operations, the areas should be considered either safe or hazardous. SAFE AREAS Safe areas are the living quarters, the switchgear and control rooms, offices, store rooms, and shops, unless specifically marked otherwise. Areas are considered safe because of their distance
6/16

from hydrocarbons or because a ventilation system has been provided to maintain a positive pressure in the area to keep hydrocarbons out. Therefore, it is important to keep doors and accesses to safe areas closed at all times. HAZARDOUS AREAS Hazardous areas are locations where gases or vapors may accumulate and form a potentially explosive atmosphere (hazardous atmosphere) due to a leak of natural gas or condensate or other flammable substance. For the Chevron Facilities, the National Electrical Code of the National Fire Protection Association (American): NFPA-70 Article 500 and API RP500, have been used to define the areas and the equipment classifications.

6/17

The suitability of equipment to be installed in hazardous areas is based on its design and the testing by independent laboratories appropriate for the divisions and the class and group for the gas or vapor that will be present. Thus, electrical equipment for hazardous areas should be marked as being suitable for Class 1, Division I, Group D Service or Class 1, Division II, Group D Service. A class defines the characteristics of the flammable material and a group designation specifies the materials flammability. The Class 1 designation is for gases and vapors and the Group D Designation is for the flammability characteristics of natural gas and combustible vapors. Flashlights Only certified, intrinsically safe flashlights shall be used in Chevron Thailands facilities and they must be labeled with the certifying agency, such as Underwriters Laboratory (UL). Ordinary flashlights are considered an ignition source. Portable Communication Radios Portable communication radios used in producing facilities shall be rated intrinsically safe and be labeled as such by the manufacturer along with the identity of the certifying agency such as
6/18

Underwriters Laboratory (UL). Consult the IT Department for guidance concerning the rating of portable radios. Personnel working at isolated, remote or hazardous locations (i.e. well jackets, sites outside rig, LQ, CPP, and FSO, etc) shall be equipped with an operational portable radio or have standby transportation available at the location. Other Electronic Equipment Many types of electronic and electrical equipment are ignition sourcesneither intrinsically safe nor explosion proof. Any non-intrinsically safe or non-explosion proof equipment is an ignition source and requires a Permit to Work if used in a restricted/ hazardous area. If in doubt about the equipment or the area, ask your supervisor. 6.4 WORKING SAFELY HELICOPTER SAFETY The rules covering travel between offshore locations are the same as those for traveling offshore (see Traveling and Safety Offshore booklet). Always approach, embark and disembark the helicopter along the designated safe route. Seat belts, life vests and hearing protection must be worn whenever the fasten seat belt sign is on or as directed by the crew.
6/19

Caution: Helicopter life vests are an integral part of the helicopter PPE and are there for the passengers safety and like any PPE or Safety Equipment should not be interfered with in any way. The life vests are essential in the case of the helicopter ditching over water. Any person found tampering with any helicopter safety or other equipment will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. BOAT SAFETY

Where a boat is used to transport personnel between facilities, the transferring of personnel should only take place when the weather conditions are good and the wave height is reasonable. As a guideline, basket transfers of personnel are prohibited under the following weather conditions:
6/20

Wind speed > 25 knots Wave height > 2 meters

When transferring, the following rules should be followed: Personnel shall wear work vests when traveling on small crew boats and when making a transfer between the boat and facility. Personnel will not attempt to board or leave the boat carrying anything that will restrict their movement. Equipment will be removed or taken aboard the boat by hand line or crane. When boarding or leaving the boat, the following recommended practices are listed: a. Transfer to or from the boat should be made as the boat is rising. b. When using a boarding (swing) rope to transfer, the transfer to or from the boat should be made when the boat has reached the peak of the rise. PERSONNEL TRANSFER PROCEDURES Personnel Basket/ Frog Transfers Personnel shall only make boat to platform transfers from boats equipped with passenger transfer platforms. Personnel basket should be used in cases where the use of alternative means of transferring personnel is either not practical or unsafe.
6/21

The Frog is a personnel transfer capsule that is an alternative to the Billy Pugh Personnel basket. Not more than 3 persons may use the Frog transfer capsule at one time.

The Crane Operator and Boat Captain are in charge and are responsible for determining when personnel basket transfer is acceptable. When not in use, the personnel basket shall be stowed in a manner that will provide protection from weather and damage.

The procedure for using a personnel basket is: 1. Adequate PPE are required whenever riding a personnel basket.
6/22

2. Only small luggage is permitted inside the personnel basket when transporting personnel. 3. Ride basket on outside with feet on bottom ring; hold onto rope sides with hands and arms and face inward. 4. Only personnel preparing to ride the personnel basket on the next transfer will be permitted on the boat deck during transfer operations. 5. Maximum persons on any one transfer shall not exceed 4 or 8 persons (depends on basket type capacity). 6. Ensure that you understand the actions required of you before the transfer operation takes place. 7. Do not get off the basket before it lands on the deck.

6/23

Boarding Rope Transfers Personnel shall only make boarding rope transfers to and from boats equipped with passenger boarding platforms.

LIFTING

All lifts shall have a stinger below the reeved line block (headache bar or main). Before the lift is made, the crane operator, the rigger and the boat captain should discuss the circumstances of the lift. If the lift exceeds 80% of the cranes Safe Working Load (SWL), a non-routine lift permit should be initiated. Do not work or stand under suspended loads.

6/24

MATERIAL HANDLING

1. Material handling is one of the most hazardous activities associated with Chevrons operations. 2. Personnel must be alert, keeping eyes on the crane operator, crane block, load and rigging. Positions where you can become trapped should be avoided. Keep your body, hands, and feet out from under loads. Use tag lines on all suspended loads if possible. 3. When a crane operator cannot see all operations, a signal man must be used to give visual direction. 4. Extreme care should be used when loosening ties on pipe bundles. 5. Where a special sling or container is provided for a particular job, they must always be used for that task. Do not improvise rigging. MANUAL LIFTING Many injuries are caused by poor lifting practices. Back injuries can be eliminated by following these simple rules: Lift with your legs - not your back.

6/25

Avoid lifting in an awkward or off-balance position. Secure a good hold on the object before lifting. Use team work when lifting with others. Lift or lower the object together. Minimize occasions for which manual lifting is required and minimize weight of lift, whenever possible.

The following must be observed when handling heavy objects: 1. Size up the load before you lift or attempt to carry it. You should seek assistance if you are unsure of the weight or size of the object. 2. Hold heavy loads close to the body. 3. When lifting or lowering the load with others all should agree on who is in charge and the signals to be given. Do not release the load until all persons are ready. 4. The Kinetic Method of lifting must be used as follows: a. Ensure a secure footing, place feet hip width apart with one foot ahead of the other. b. Bend at knees to lift or lower a load.
6/26

c. Always keep back straight and as upright as possible. d. Get a firm hold. e. Lift or lower gradually by straightening or bending legs, keeping the back straight. f. Keep arms close to body.

g. Keep chin drawn in. h. Objects or equipment heavier than 20 kg should not be manually lifted. BACK INJURIES Although back injures are a common hazard, they can be prevented simply by working smart. The following are rules you should follow: a. Always walk and sit with upright posture. b. Wear proper fitting boots and shoes with soles and heals in good repair. c. Use proper lifting techniques. d. Get help when lifting heavy items.

6/27

SCAFFOLDING All scaffold access systems must be erected by competent and approved erectors and inspected prior to use. Erection and use of scaffolds shall be covered by the permit to work system and use the Scafftag system of control.

6/28

LADDERS Ladders shall be inspected before use. If the ladder is not in a safe condition, it shall be tagged for maintenance, removed from service, and reported to your supervisor. Some common defects which make a ladder unsafe are: Broken or bent rungs. Irregular spacing of rungs. Shaky or unstable ladder or legs. Cracked or broken members. Missing or broken feet.

Single and extension ladders shall be set at the correct angle. The ladder base shall be out one quarter (1/4) distance of height. Portable ladders (including step ladders) shall be set on a firm base. Single and extension ladders shall be tied at the top. Someone shall help steady the ladder if needed. Ladders shall be equipped with anti-slip safety feet. Portable ladders shall be moved so that long reaches are unnecessary. Hips and shoulders shall be kept between ladder side rails. When working from a ladder, both feet shall be kept on the ladder rungs. If the reach is over an arms length away, the ladder shall be repositioned. Never climb a ladder higher than the designated highest standing level or never higher than the third rung from the top (second rung from the top on a step ladder).
6/29

Personnel shall face the ladder when ascending or descending. SLIPS AND FALLS Slips and falls are another hazard that can be prevented by personal care. The following are rules you should follow: a. Personnel shall keep the working area clean and orderly. Tools shall not be left lying on the floor or decking where they present tripping hazards. b. Walkways and grating shall be kept in good condition. Damaged or deteriorated grating shall be repaired or replaced as soon as possible and shall be roped off or closed until repairs are completed. For guidance refer to Chevrons Safety-In-Designs Manual, Section 2. c. Oil spills and slippery areas shall be immediately cleaned. d. Extra precautions shall be taken when walking on wet surfaces. e. As a routine practice, personnel shall not walk or climb on piping, valves, fittings or any other equipment not designed as walking surfaces. Work stands shall be designed and used for working on specific equipment.
6/30

f.

Stairways, ramps or stiles shall be installed where personnel must walk or step over pipe in the course of normal duties.

TOOL MAINTENANCE AND USAGE Use a hand tool only for its intended use. Tools shall be inspected before being used to determine if they are the proper size and in good condition. Do not use defective tools. Do not carry sharp tools in pockets. After completion of job, tools shall be cleaned and returned to the tool box or storage area. Wrenches shall have a good bite before pressure is applied. Personnel shall brace their body in the proper position so that if the tool slips they will not fall. Make sure hands and fingers have sufficient clearance in the event the tool slips. Chevron Thailand discourages the use of Cheater pipes. The Cheater pipes shall: 1. Be used only when absolutely necessary. 2. Be less than twice the length of the wrench handle.
6/31

3. Closely fit the entire length of the wrench handle. 4. Not be jumped on or jerked to break connections. 5. Not be used on crescent type adjustable wrenches or aluminum pipe wrenches. GRINDING WHEELS Goggles and a face shield shall be worn when using or working near a grinding wheel. A full face shield, in addition to goggles, is recommended. Grinders are considered an ignition source. Grinders shall be placed in an unrestricted area or a hot work permit shall be obtained before it can be operated The side of a grinding wheel shall never be used to grind unless the wheel is designed for that purpose. The work rest for a grinder shall be no more than 1/8 inch (3.2 millimeters) from the wheel and the tongue guard no more than 1/4 inch (6.4 millimeters) from the wheel Guards shall not be adjusted when the wheel is in motion.

6/32

Only knowledgeable personnel shall install grinding wheels. A ring test shall be performed prior to installation. Prior to installation, check the rated speed of the grinding wheel versus the spindle speed of the machine as some wheels are only designed for low speed use. Low speed grinding wheels shall be used to grind aluminum. High speed grinding wheels shall not be used to grind aluminum as this generates excessive temperatures which may cause the wheel to disintegrate.

COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS Keep oxidizing gas cylinders at least 20 feet from highly combustible or flammable materials such as oil or chemicals. Alternatively, separate the cylinders using a fire wall 5 ft high with a fire rating of 0.5 hours. Secure cylinders upright with non-flammable device to prevent them from being knocked over or damaged. Rope is not allowed to be used for securing cylinders. Keep the cylinder valve closed at all times, except when the cylinder is in active use. Open the valve slowly with valve pointing away from the contractor and other personnel.
6/33

Compressed Gas Cylinder are required to be transfered or lifted with a Properly Designed Basket. Install flashback arrestors at the discharge of the regulators and at the torch. This is a requirement.

OXYGEN CYLINDERS Oxygen cylinders are pressured to 2,400 poundsper-square-inch-gauge (psig) at 70F when full. Oxygen alone will not burn; however, it supports combustion. Do not lubricate or allow oil or grease to contaminate oxygen connections to prevent spontaneous explosions and fires that may occur when oxygen contacts oil or grease under pressure. Separate oxygen cylinders and fuel-gas cylinders (such as acetylene, propane, and propylene) by at least 20 ft or by a fire wall 5 ft high with a fire rating of 0.5 hours.

ACETYLENE CYLINDERS Use and store acetylene cylinders upright to prevent the acetone (a stabilizing agent) from draining into the valves or fittings.

6/34

Do not use acetylene at a hose pressure exceeding 15 psig to reduce the possibility of an explosion. Acetylene is extremely unstable at pressures above 15 psig. Keep caps in place when cylinders are not in use.

CLEANING RAGS AND SOLVENTS Wiping with rags around revolving shafts and other moving parts shall not be done under any circumstances. Beltways or areas protected by guards or guard rails shall not be cleaned while equipment is operating. Oily rags are a possible fire and pollution hazard. Dispose of oily rags in designated containers. Cleaning of machinery, skin, clothing or decks with gasoline or other flammable liquids is prohibited. There are commercial fire safe solvents for cleaning mechanical equipment. A safe solvent is a class IIIA liquid: it has a flash point above 140F (60C) and below 200F (93C). Only safe solvents shall be used for cleaning equipment.

6/35

CORROSION Locating and reporting internal and external corrosion of lines and equipment shall be every employees responsibility. Look for internal corrosion when opening pig traps, lines, vessels, etc. Look for external corrosion where lines contact the ground, deck or water. External corrosion is also prevalent near metal clamps and near damaged coating. Immediately report all leaks and failures to your supervisor. Report abnormally high replacement frequency of valves, fittings, or other equipment (corrosion or erosion may be the cause) to your supervisor. Rectifiers used in corrosion control shall be turned off before any maintenance is performed on pipelines and flow lines. Rectifiers are a source of ignition.

7.1 PERMIT TO WORK A Work Permit system is a method and procedure to control work and the hazards associated with the work. It is an important step to ensure the work can be done safely, by evaluating and planning for the hazards before beginning the work. The Work Permit is also is a means of communicating and making others aware of work that is going to be done. The following should also be considered and implemented as appropriate. All physical work, whether requiring a work permit or not, must have a JHA. A permit to work is generally not required for the following: Normal or routine operations, readings and gauging Normal or routine Well Testing Routine office work Catering operations Routine helideck operations Routine crane operation (not defined as non-routine lift) Visual inspections if performed at deck level or with guarded access.

7/1

Hot Work in Restricted Areas All hot work in a restricted area requires authorization by the OIM/Facility Manager or his designated person. The supervisor of the job is responsible for requesting the work to be done and for obtaining the OIM or Facility Managers authorization. The supervisor, in consultation with those involved in the work, shall determine the permit restrictions that apply to the job. When the supervisor is satisfied with the permit & hot work certificate, he should sign it and recommend to the OIM or site supervisor that the work be authorized. The supervisor shall sign the permit before the permit is valid. The person-in-charge of the job is responsible for completing the work permit & hot work certificate. Along with the person who will be performing/ supervising the hot work, we shall visually inspect the work area to ensure the conditions of the permit & the certificate are met. The person-in-charge shall ensure that gas testing is performed by a person who has been certified in the proper use and calibration of the gas detector being used. As long as a known ignition source is present in a restricted area, the person-in-charge or a qualified delegate shall remain in attendance until the work is complete.

7/2

If the scope of the operation is too broad for the person-in-charge to adequately supervise, an additional qualified person shall be designated to assist the person-in-charge. Person performing the hot work shall assist the person-in-charge in inspecting the work area for potential fire and explosion hazards prior to hot work beginning. The person shall sign the permit & the certificate and see that the hot work is performed in accordance with the permit & the certificate restrictions and conditions. One or more persons should be assigned for fire watch duty as necessary for each job that includes hot work. The fire watch shall have no other duties than those of a fire watch while hot work is in progress. Enough firewatchers should be assigned to adequately cover the area exposed to ignition sources. This may mean firewatchers be assigned to various decks if sparks can go through grating. The fire watch shall be able to properly operate the fire extinguishers and other available fire equipment if needed. Have adequate fire extinguishers on the site and readily accessible. The fire watch shall have the fire pump running and one hose charged and within reach of the work. If the facility is not equipped with a fire water system or the facilitys fire water system is inoperable, secondary protection should be provided (i.e. dry chemical wheeled unit or foam wheeled unit).
7/3

The fire watch performing gas testing shall be certified in the use and calibration of the gas detector being used and shall maintain continuous gas testing throughout the work area during the hot work. The fire watch shall know how to shut down the welding machine and or the cutting equipment in the event of an emergency situation. The fire watch shall continually observe the work in progress for fire or other hazardous conditions that may arise. The fire watch shall watch for falling hot slag and sparks on areas below and around the hot work; and if requested, observe the area for 30 minutes after welding or cutting operations are suspended or completed to be certain there is no fire hazard.

7.2 LOCK-OUT/ TAG-OUT The purposes of LO/TO are to: Protect workers from the release of hazardous energy Guard against the accidental start-up or movement of equipment during service and maintenance.

7/4

Typical sources of energy that may need to be controlled using a LO/TO system include: Electrical (primary energy source for many machines and motors) Hydraulic (e.g. pressurised fluids in hoses/pipes) Mechanical (e.g. gravity systems, or spring energy) Chemical (e.g. storage vessels or pipelines containing toxic/hazardous chemicals and hydrocarbon/petrol products) Thermal (e.g. hot oil lines used to heat heavy fuel oil tanks/pipework) Vapors (e.g. hydrocarbons/petrol, steam) Locks shall always be used. (There are lock-out accessories now available to lock out older equipment not originally designed to take a lock.) Each Craft and the Operations group should have individually keyed and numbered lock sets. Each authorized employee/contractor required to perform LO/TO should be issued with their own lockout lock(s) and key(s). Lockout locks should only to be used for LO/TO purposes. Each lock should have a unique key (to prevent people from inadvertently removing someone elses lock). A Master Key for LO/TO locks may be considered as an emergency backup, but it must be
7/5

strictly controlled by the Facility Manager. The use of a lock and a tag is preferable.

Tags are generally utilized in tandem with a lockout system to provide information about why the lock is in place. Tags alone are not acceptable for work requiring LO/ TO as additional safety measures need to be implemented to ensure the necessary safety. Remember that tags only provide warnings to alert workers: THEY DO NOT LOCK OUT ENERGY!

7/6

7.3 CONFINED SPACE AND RESCUE Definition Confined space means all areas or pieces of equipment where: Existing ventilation is insufficient to remove dangerous air concentrations and/or oxygen deficiency may exist or develop. Ready access or egress for the removal of a suddenly disabled worker is difficult due to location and/or size of the opening.

Enclosed space means any area, enclosure or piece of equipment where: The ready access or egress for the removal of a suddenly-disabled worker is difficult due to the location or size of the opening. (NOTE: All enclosed spaces shall be considered as confined spaces until tests verify the space is safe for entry.) Examples of confined/enclosed spaces are: pipelines, tunnels, confined passageways, tanks, vessels, roofs of floating roof tanks (when the roof is 5 feet (1.5 meters) or more below the top of the shell), heaters, compartments, ducts, sewers, pits, cellars, or any similar-type locations. A dangerous air concentration is an atmosphere presenting a threat of causing death, injury, acute illness or disablement due to the presence of flammable, toxic or otherwise injurious or incapacitating substances.

7/7

An oxygen deficiency exists if the atmosphere contains less than 19.5% oxygen. A written pre-entry plan shall be completed for any job involving entry into a confined space since many potential problems can be solved or prevented. A complete understanding of all phases of the work shall be reached at this time. The plan shall list the typical work to be performed prior to, during and upon completion of the confined/enclosed space entry. The plan shall also list the procedures (i.e. LO/TO, tank/vessel cleaning, respiratory protection, etc.) to be followed. The OIM or Facility Manager on each facility is responsible to ensure that a written copy of the entry procedures developed be provided to affected employees and contractor personnel. These workers including stand-by persons and contractors shall be adequately trained in safe entry and rescue methods for determining the testing requirements and safety procedures for each entry, and for issuing permits and entry tags. The Facility Manager shall assure that the person-in-charge (PIC) has the necessary protective and safety equipment to perform the job safely. The space must be emptied, flushed or purged of flammable or toxic liquids or gases and should be opened (all manway covers removed) several days to ventilate toxic and flammable gases prior to entry. The Facility Manager will issue work permits, entry
7/8

certificate and tags to the PIC of the job which involves entry into a confined or enclosed space. The Facilities Manager will indicate on the confined space ENTRY CERTIFICATE the required types and frequency of tests to be performed (to ensure that the development of dangerous air contamination and/ or oxygen deficiency does not occur during the performance of any operation). The space should also be tested for toxic gases (i.e. Mercury) and/or temperature if past operations indicate there may be a hazard. 7.4 WORKING AT HEIGHT Personnel working at height shall notify anyone below. Tools and materials shall be handed up or downnever thrown. When it is necessary to hoist tools with a rope, care must be exercised to ensure the tools are securely attached to the rope and there is no danger of them being dropped. A strong sack is recommended for raising or lowering tools. Fixed ladders 20 feet (6.1 meters) or greater in length shall be caged. In special cases where ladderclimbing devices are acceptable, a safety harness shall be used when ascending or descending the ladder. Refer to Chevrons Safety-In-Designs Manual, Sections 3 and 7 for guidance concerning scaffolding and ladders when working at height. Fall protection devices shall be readily available for use by personnel.

7/9

When working in an unprotected area of 6 feet (1.8 meters) or greater above grade or deck level such as, a tank, production vessel or unguarded working platform, personnel shall wear a safety harness. The harness shall be secured by a lanyard to a lifeline, drop line, or fixed anchorage. When ascending or descending ladders both hands should be free of tool or articles. Rescue equipment must be available at the work location when fall equipment is in use. 7.5 RIGGING AND CRANE OPERATIONS Crane Operators Safety Rules All cranes and lifting gear must be inspected prior to use and periodically re-inspected by a qualified inspector to ensure compliance with applicable Chevron, government and industry standards. The crane shall be operated only by trained operators. Personnel shall stay clear of the area under the crane while the crane is operating and rotating. There shall always be a signal man present, using the standard signal system whenever the crane operator does not have a full view of his whole operation.

7/10

Crane booms, cables, all rigging, slings and fittings, foundation mounting, control cables, and safety devices/warnings are to be inspected and determined to be operating properly by the operator of the crane each day before starting operations. The inspection must consist of a visual inspection for cracked welds, stranded or cut cable, bent braces, sheave condition, and any other defects. All crane hooks must be fitted with an operative safely latch, and sheaves in crane block must be fully shrouded. There shall always be at least three wraps of cable on the drum at all times. In hostile weather areas, lifting gear and slings should be stored in sheltered areas. Platforms, walkways, steps, handholds, guard-rails and toeboards are provided on the cranes to assure safe footing. All personnel must be clear of loads before they are picked up or landed and must remain clear at all times. Personnel must never be under suspended loads.

7/11

General Rules For Lifting Operations All crane movements must be gradual and made with caution. Snatch motions produce overloads which can cause damage and lead to accidents. You are responsible for lifting loads safely. Never lift a load unless it is safely slung. Never be persuaded to lift a load which exceeds the safe working load (SWL). Check that the load is free before lifting and position the hook to prevent the load swinging. Never drag a load with the crane. Never carry a load over people. Never allow anyone to ride on a load. If a load becomes displaced or a rope becomes slack, stop lifting and report it to your supervisor. Report defects and unusual noises to your supervisor as soon as possible, but make sure the load is safe before reporting. Only respond to signals from one authorized

7/12

banksman unless it is the Emergency Stop signal which can be given by anyone. Keep to the signal code as authorized. Always lower cradled loads onto dunnage. Never drag a trapped sling from beneath a load. When leaving a crane always: a. Leave all controls in the OFF position. b. Leave unloaded hooks above head height and free from all objects. Cranes (Mobile & Pedestal Mounted) Only authorized personnel are allowed to operate a crane. Before using a crane, always carry out a pre-use safety check (checklist): a. Test brakes (applies to mobile cranes) b. Check tire conditions and pressure. c. Test overload warning signal. d. Check all fluid levels. e. Make a visual inspection for defects. f. Report any faults immediately to your supervisor.

Before moving a mobile crane, ensure that the slewing block is engaged and that the jib is supported. Never travel with a load.
7/13

Make sure you know the safe working load (SWL) at all jib angles and watch the overload indicator. Never lift a load which exceeds the SWL of the crane. Ensure that any mobile crane is positioned on firm, level ground which is capable of supporting the weight of the crane and its load. Make sure that no person or object will be struck by the load or crane while slewing. When leaving the crane always: a. Apply the handbrake. b. Return unloaded hooks to the top position c. Switch off and remove the key.

Information Relevant to Offshore Crane Operations When transferring personnel or material from or to a vessel, the crane operator shall raise the load only high enough off the deck to clear all obstructions, swing the load out over the water, then raise or lower the load to a position slightly above the landing deck level, swing the load over the landing area, and gently lower it to the deck.

If the crane operator cannot swing the load clear of a vessel beneath, the vessel must be moved out from under the load.

7/14

All loads to be lifted by a crane offshore should, if possible, have the weight of the load clearly marked on the sides and top of the load before the load leaves the shore base. This is a precaution against overloading of the cranes. Riggers (Banksman) (Deck Hand) Safety Rules Use only Portable Lifting Equipment (PLE) marked and matching the current period color code. Know the weight of the load to be lifted and ensure that it does not exceed the safe working load (SWL) of the PLE and crane. Use only authorized PLE which is marked with the SWL. Unmarked PLE should be reported to the supervisor. Inspect all PLE before use. Report damaged PLE and have it scrapped. Avoid lifting with angles greater than 90 between the legs of multiple legged slings. Remember that with three and four legged slings, two legs may take all the load. Never tie knots in slings or shorten by wrapping them around crane hooks or by using a nut or bolt.

7/15

Always use the correct pins in shackles and fasten them securely. Never use rusty wire ropes or fiber ropes which have been in contact with chemicals, acids, alkalis, etc. Rings and shackles must ride freely on the crane hook. Never lift with the point of the hook. Never put sharp bends in wire ropes. Always protect slings from sharp corners with packing pieces. Never drag slings along the floor or deck. Chevron Thailand promotes no hands on loads. However, loads may be guided by hand only as long as the load can be reached without stretching or from an awkward position and you do not put yourself in a potential trap point. You must always remain at deck level. Tag lines should be used to assist with the control of loads. Check that all parts of the load are safely slung. Keep hands away before lifting and stand clear while the load is being lowered.

7/16

Never stand under a suspended load. Do not trap slings under loads. Use dunnage to give clearance for sling removal. When using eyebolts - always: a. Check that they are the right type for the load and type of sling. b. Check that threads match and are screwed in firmly. c. Check that the angle of the sling is not greater than 15 from the vertical when using collar eyebolts. If the angle is greater, you must reduce the safe working load (SWL) of the eyebolt accordingly. Use only the correct signals and make sure that they are clearly understood by the crane operator. Never store lifting PLE in your own locker. It must be freely available for regular inspection. Never store lifting PLE on the floor.

7.6 JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA) A JHA is a technique for identifying hazardous and unsafe acts in the workplace. The controls identified during a JHA are aimed to eliminate or minimize the risk(s) associated with each job step, step by step so that the work can be performed in a safe and controlled manner. As part of the Chevron Risk Management Program, the JHA process is designed to be used to: Identify actual and potential hazards in the work environment while performing job tasks, and help determine how they should be managed.

7/22

Be the starting point for all work to determine if a work permit is required. Identify hazardous motions, postures, and or improper work practices. Provide instructions to personnel on how to perform the job task in the best and safest manner. Identify incorrect procedures and or work guidelines to improve efficiency. Increase employees involvement & awareness in order to achieve sustainable improvements in safety performance. Enhance communications between the various work groups and management levels regarding safety. Ensure the safety and productivity of a job by eliminating or reducing the potential of an incident or injury.

A JHA is required for all routine jobs and tasks where there is no existing written guidelines or procedures to assist personnel to perform the job or task. In all cases, the JHA process must be used to ensure that the proper job steps and any hazard controls required are written and made available to personnel. JHAs should be used as part of the on the job training when workers are being trained to perform that job or task. A completed and approved hard copy of the JHA for a job task is to be attached with the Work Permit issued for the job.

7/23

7.7 BEHAVIOR BASED SAFETY (BBS) BBS is a technique that engages and empowers everyone to look for and intervene whenever at risk behavior is observed. BBS must always be done in a way that demonstrates care and concern for others rather than finding fault. Experience has shown that unsafe acts (at risk behavior) is the cause of more than 90% of all incidents. BBS is a proven and practical process that will help Chevron achieve Injury Free Operations by focusing (identifying) safe and at risk behaviors. BBS is based on the following principles: Accidents / injuries can be prevented. Do it safely or not at all. There is always time to do it right. The BBS system has no disciplinary action. BBS observation does not aim to place blame for unsafe acts but to care for people to improve their lives and safety. Therefore, No Name No Blame and Friends Help Friends is the basic concept of BBS observation.

7/24

Your responsibility is to make sure unsafe acts (at risk behaviors) and unsafe conditions are identified and corrected. Use The 6-Step BBS Process To Observe Safe and At Risk Acts (Behaviors) 1. Greet to get the persons attention. 2. Commend safe acts/practices (be specific & sincere). 3. Show concern about at risk acts/ situations and potential injury consequences, and ask questions why the person performed the at risk act. Stop work if needed and consult with knowledgeable people. 4. Ask about other ways to perform the task safely and gain commitment for change and ensure that change occurs. 5. Ask about other safety concerns. 6. Thank the person for his/her good work and commitment to safe work.

7/25

The following is an Example of the BBS Observation Card

7/26

HAZARD OBSERVATION PROGRAM Chevron Thailand also has a Hazard Observation (HazOb) Program that is designed to have Everyone on the look out and to report hazardous conditions or situations. A HazOb is an unplanned activity where someone may identify an unsafe condition or potential risk in the workplace. The objective is to eliminate the hazards that may lead to a potential incident (injury/illness, property damage and loss, process loss, non-compliance environmental impact, etc.). It is not to be used for the reporting of incidents which have already occurred or unsafe acts. After you completed the HazOb report form, please discuss the risk with your supervisor. If you feel that your report receives insufficient attention, you may notify the appropriate person in BKK. Tel. 662 545 5445

7/27

The following is an Example of the HazOb Report

7/28

7.8 SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND REVIEWS Workplace safety inspection/review is one of the best ways to identify risk, to prevent any potential accidents and to increase work efficiency. A safety inspection/review facilitates the monitoring of hazards; such as, awareness of potentially hazardous workplace problems, defective equipment or unsafe behaviors. Safety inspections/reviews can be done daily or at regular intervals, depending on the nature of the work activities, especially when there is any hidden danger or toxic risk or when any new process is established. A specific inspection/review should be performed before work starts. The necessary details which should be included are details of the hazards severity, work conditions, etc. The responsibilities and roles should be divided and assigned to each position. The assigned personnel should have sufficient knowledge and expertise on the machine and equipments structure, condition and work process. The facility manager or his designated person who is familiar with the workplace should be in charge of the inspection/review. An inspector or auditor shall know what is to be inspected, i.e., hazards from machines or electrical appliances, chemical & mechanical hazards, hazards of falling from height or dangers from falling/dropped objects, etc.
7/29

Inspection/Review should be carried out as a routine activity and has the following benefits: To identify existing practices & behaviors of our workforce. To discover the actual situation of the workplace and find any potential hazards, i.e. unsafe conditions, substandard equipment and tools. To identify the gap of Chevron OE processes/ procedures, i.e. BBS, PTW, LO/TO, JHA, Working At Height, Rigging and Lifting, etc.

7.9 OE/ HES MEETINGS OE/HES general meeting shall be held weekly or bi-weekly as outlined by each Facility and involve all personnel on board. The OIM/Facility Manager shall decide the agenda for this meeting. The workforce participants shall consider the current relevant topics, and minutes of the meeting shall be recorded. As a minimum, the meeting should include: Review of minutes from previous meeting. Update on outstanding action items raised by employees and contract personnel which impact on IFO. Share lesson learns from any serious hazards, near miss or incident occurrence from the previous week.

7/30

Any scheduled HES training for drilling personnel. Review of significant BBS cards. Forseeable Risks that may affect IFO.

Prior to starting a new task, a Pre-job or toolbox meeting of the supervisor and members of the crew shall be held to discuss job planning, job assignments, any unique or unusual hazards, and how to avoid such hazards. A Pre-job meeting shall be held prior to the start of all non-routine work and when conditions have changed from the initial toolbox meeting. In addition, safety committee, pre-tour and other specific safety meetings shall be held as outlined by Chevron Thailand standard and requirements. Two way communication shall be used at all safety meetings to motivate the workforces involvement in improving facility safety performance. 7.10 OE/ HES TRAINING OE/HES training will be provided to all employees & contractors, especially in the requirements and processes outlined in Chevron OEMS. Based on the scope of work, it is Chevrons expectation that existing personnel and SSE are adequately and appropriately trained before commencing their scope of work.
7/31

The following training requirements will be adhered to: Emergency response procedures will form an integral part of the training given to all employees and contractors assigned specific emergency response duties. Regular emergency drills will be performed, debriefed and documented. All employees and contractors will have undertaken the specific HES training required for their job position and in accordance with Chevron OE processes & requirements, i.e. T-BOSIET (HUET / Sea Survival, fire-fighting, first aid), rigging, crane and lifting operation, scaffolding, Helicopter Landing Officer (HLO), etc. to meet Chevron requirements for each position. All relevant personnel working at Chevron Thailands offshore locations will receive Permit-to-Work, LO/TO, JHA, Hazard Identification, and BBS training by Offshore HES Specialists. All relevant supervisory personnel working at Chevron Thailands offshore locations will receive Safety Inspections, Emergency Management, Root Cause Analysis, and BBS Champion training by Chevron Certified trainers.

8.1 GENERAL Each Chevron Facility has posted Emergency Station Bills which detail how personnel are alerted to an emergency and the actions to be taken during an emergency. The Emergency Station Bill also assigns personnel to emergency positions (key individuals) by job classification. (The duties for each key position are covered by a checklist located in the Emergency Response Procedures). Additionally, each Chevron Offshore Facility has a posted Emergency Equipment Layout Diagram or Fire Control Plan to alert all personnel as to the location and availability of emergency equipment. Each Chevron facility has a place designated for used fire extinguishers. Notify your supervisor when an extinguisher has been used or is missing. Emergency showers and eye wash stations are located in areas where chemicals are stored or handled. Employees who work in the area shall be familiar with the location and use of the showers and eye washers. To become fully familiar with the details of the Chevron Emergency Response Procedures and personnel responsibilities, you should consult the Emergency Response Plan for your facility and familiarize yourself with the Emergency Organization and the Checklists for the various emergency positions.
8/1

Medical assistance is available at all locations. In addition, First Aid Kits are permanently located at each facility. If supplies are used, they must be reported so that they may be replaced. If your job function is identified as a key individual, you should obtain a copy of your Emergency Response Battle Book and have it posted or readily available at your normal work location or Emergency Station. Keep a copy on your person at all times as a ready reference. Finally, if your job function is not specifically identified as a Key Individual, you should still consult the Emergency Station Bill and know your responsibility and action if an emergency arises. 8.2 FIRE PROTECTION General Portable fire extinguishers are considered initial fire-fighting equipment. They are designed for fires of limited size and their duration of discharge of extinguishing agent is short. Usually, water is the most practical and readily available fire control and extinguishing agent. Provisions for piped water should be considered in most installations. Each employee assigned to a facility should know how to inspect and use the fire-fighting

8
8/2

equipment available to them. The equipment is there to protect both the personnel and the Company facility. Visual (monthly) inspection means a visual check of fire protection systems and equipment to ensure that they are in place, charged and ready for use in the event a fire. Visual inspections shall be performed at least monthly on all fire fighting equipment and documented referencing its station number. A maintenance (annual) inspection differs from a visual inspection in that it requires an operational check of the internal fittings, mechanisms and agents. Extinguishers shall be visually inspected to ensure that they are in their designated places, they have not been tampered with or activated, and that obvious physical damage, corrosion or other impairment is detected. Foam stations, fire hose reels, fixed systems, etc. shall be inspected monthly to ensure that they have not been tampered with or activated. Extinguishers shall have seals to indicate that the extinguisher has not been activated. If an extinguisher is found with a broken or missing seal, the extinguisher shall have a complete maintenance inspection to ensure it has not been activated.

8/3

Maintenance inspections will be performed per requirements of the Facility on all fire protection systems. These include hand-held portables, wheeled units, and fixed systems (CO2, foam and dry chemical).

Firewater & Foam Systems Foam tests shall be performed at least annually. Offshore water system shall be flushed and inspected monthly for proper operation. All pumps for fire water systems shall be test operated weekly for proper operation. Fire hoses at offshore facilities should be either 1 1/2 inch or 1 1/4 inch (3.8 centimeters or 3.2 centimeters) hard rubber hose with a hydrostatic test pressure of at least 250 psig (1724 Kpa). Maximum hose length for the 1 1/2 inch (3.8 centimeters) hose is 100 feet (30.5 meters). Maximum hose length for the 1 1/4 inch (3.2 centimeters) hose is 125 feet (38.1 meters). Each fire water hose shall have an adjustable nozzle. Nozzles shall be adjustable so that they can discharge a spray or straight stream and be shut off. Nozzles should be constructed of materials resistant to corrosion. Fire hose reels shall have a solid hose drum to prevent hose pressure from damaging the drum and shall be equipped with hard rubber hose.

8
8/4

The fire fighting hose reel stations with foam shall use Ansul 3% AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam). These hoses shall have 95 gallons per minute (gal/min) adjustable nozzles to match the 95 gal/min (359 liters/min) foam eductors.

8.3 REPORTING AN EMERGENCY If You Discover An Abnormal, Hazardous, Or Emergency Condition IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS! 1. Sound the alarm and announce the situation and location over the PA System 3 times (or if appropriate, report the situation and location to the control room/radio room or dial the Facility Emergency Number.) 2. Back off, observe, and assess the situation from a safe position. 3. Take action only if qualified and safe (do not put yourself at risk). 4. Report any changes to the Control Room/Radio Room or to the facility emergency number until help arrives. 5. Proceed to your assigned emergency or muster station when relieved by the Onsite Response Team.

8/5

6. Report to your Emergency or Lifeboat Muster Point/Station for the head count, buddy-up, and await further instructions. 8.4 ACTIONS DURING EMERGENCIES If you are an observer at the scene of an emergency, your prompt action can minimize the danger to yourself and others. In all cases, try to make a mental note of the situation as you found it. Your recollection will be vital later when trying to determine the cause of the incident and to prevent a recurrence. Some action guidelines for an observer at the scene of an emergency situation are given below. Fire: A person discovering a fire should: Immediately activate the fire alarm. Establish an escape route. Notify the emergency number, report the location and extent of the fire, details of any person(s) trapped or injured and give your name, and location. If available, use the Gaitronics System to make an emergency PA announcement.

8
8/6

If the fire is in an area not protected by automatic systems, attempt to fight the fire using available extinguisher and until relieved by the Onsite Response Team. Remember, do not put yourself or others at risk. When relieved or instructed, proceed to your designated muster point/station.

Injury: A person discovering someone injured should: Not Assume Death Notify Emergency number, or Control Room or Radio Room immediately. Administer first aid if trained to do so. Do not move the injured person until instructed by a qualified doctor or medic. Keep the injured person warm. Stay with the injured person until medical help arrives. Escort the injured person to receive treatment, if he is conscious and able to walk. Do not disturb anything in the vicinity unless there is a threat to safety. Prevent unauthorized entry to the scene.

Electrical Injury: Do Not Touch The Person Try to isolate the electrical power. If this is not possible, use a wooden object (scaffold plank, brush handle) to push the person away from the electrical source, or to push the electrical source away from the person. Administer first aid if trained to do so.

Man Overboard: When discovering a man overboard, you should: Immediately throw a life ring or other floating object to the man overboard person in order to assist him and/or mark his position as the body drifts. Shout MAN OVERBOARD and continue shouting until others are alerted. KEEP HIM IN VIEW and assess his rate and direction of drift. Instruct someone in the vicinity to use the PA system and raise the alarm or dial the emergency number and give the following information:

8/8

a. b. c. d. e.

f.

MAN OVERBOARD location in water (direction, distance). name of man overboard (if known). your name and current location. if there is no one in the vicinity and only as a last resort, leave the scene to broadcast the man overboard alarm. continue observation until relieved.

Leak or Spill: A person discovering a leak or spill should: Warn other personnel in the area. Leave the area as quickly as possible while holding your breath. Ensure the alarm is raised. Switch off portable tools, etc.: do nothing which could cause a spark or source of ignition. Proceed as for a general alarm.

Hydrocarbon liquids and gases when leaking or spilled may accumulate and remain in enclosed spaces. When the presence of gas is suspected, entry to the area is restricted to trained personnel under supervision, wearing compressed air breathing apparatus. The risk of fire increases considerably when gas is

present and therefore tools or materials capable of producing a spark must not be used. Abandonment: The decision to abandon an offshore facility will be taken only by the OIM (fixed platforms), Barge Master/Captain (floating facilities) or their designated alternates. Wherever possible, non-essential personnel or Evacuees will be evacuated first and emergency personnel will remain on board to contain the incident. The safest method for evacuation will be chosen depending upon weather conditions, equipment status, etc. The main methods are: helicopter evacuation crew/supply boat evacuation by lifeboat/life raft

Other options will be considered based on the conditions at the time. Life Saving Appliances: Ring Life Buoys - Each facility is provided with ring life buoys. If you see someone fall into the water, immediately throw a ring life buoy as close to the person as possible and keep the person in sight while calling out for help. Life Jackets - Each cabin is provided with a life jacket

for each person, additional life jackets are stowed adjacent to the lifeboats. Life Rafts - All facilities are provided with life rafts. Know where they are located, how to launch them and how to get on them after they have been launched. Always wear a life jacket while lowering and boarding a life raft. Survival Capsule (Lifeboats) - Each central processing facility and drilling rig is equipped with survival capsules to accommodate the personnel expected to be on board. Know where they are and how to get to them. When you reach a survival capsule, standby for instructions from one of the trained crew members who is responsible for launching and operating the survival capsule. Putting out Clothing Fire: To avoid fanning the flames, do not run. a. If possible, wrap your self in a rug, blanket or woolen coat and shout for help. Wrap it around the neck first and then drop to the floor and roll over slowly. b. Avoid inhaling the flames. Put your hands on opposite shoulders and pull the arms against your face for protection. c. If water is near, douse yourself and roll in the spilled water on the floor.
8/11

d. If clothing of another person ignites, use similar measures and shout for help. If water is handy, apply immediately. General Rules for the Treatment of an Unconscious Casualty: If the casualtys breathing begins to fail or stop, immediately commence artificial ventilation. If the heart has stopped beating, start chest compression whilst continuing to give artificial ventilation. Always control any serious bleeding. Having completed the above, and unless a fracture is suspected, place the victim in the recovery position to prevent inhalation of saliva or vomit. Stay with victim and monitor his condition. Recovery Position: To turn a casualty when lying on his back into the recovery position, kneel at the side of the casualty, turn this head towards you. Place the casualtys nearest arm close to his side, if possible placing his hand under his hip, palm upwards. Bring far arm over the front of chest. Cross far leg over near leg.

8/12

Grasp casualtys clothing at far hip and pull him towards you, protecting his head with your other hand. Whilst supporting casualty on his side against your thighs, bend his upper leg well forward at hip and knee. Tilt casualtys head to ensure open and clear airway. Check that casualtys lower arm is clear at back. Place other arm bent at the elbow with the upper arm square to the body. Cover casualty with blanket and, if possible, place one under him. Do Not Give The Casualty A Drink.
