Rams (Risk and Method) Risk Assessment  A legal document that will be completed prior to any project starting  The purpose of the risk assessment is to identify what needs to be done to control health and safety risks  A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have enough precautions or whether you should do more  The risk assessment has a matrix based system on the higher the number the higher the occurrence and the severity of something happening ( see below )



 The risk assessment must be read, understood and signed by you and everyone on the project  The risk assessment should be referred to if you don’t understand the requirements to do your task

Method Statement  Method statement sometimes referred to as ‘a safe system of work’  A detailed document which tells you how task should be completed and safe practices included  Demonstrates to you and the client how safe and legally you are doing things  Go’s hand in hand all the time with the risk assessment  All should read, sign and understand the task that are written in this document you should also refer to this document if you are unsure about the task PPE requirements and tool usage  If there any changes to a job scope change then work must be stopped and the method statement

updated

Cat Tech Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)  The Cat Tech Standard operation is the step by step instructions for every aspect of the work and operations we do  The main categories for field work are outlined in the SOP and should be referred to understood by all personnel working for Cat Tech, if you are unsure about these procedure you should speak to your Project Manager

 List below of contents in the SOP but not limited too - Confined spaces - Nitrogen Blankets - Emergency procedures - Barricades and signs - Permits - Atmosphere monitoring - Personnel requirements - Seat Belts - Respiratory Protection - Eye and face protection - Fork truck Operations - Life Support equipment

Life Saving Rules Permits - Never start any work without a valid permit - Make sure the permit is the correct one for the task - Any changes in working conditions stop and reassess Isolations -Verify Isolations prior to starting any word -Identify any energy sources that are critical to Cat Tech’s work area. - LOTO must be used and logged kept. LOTO to be removed on completion of work Confined spaces - Before any entry into a Confined space a gas test must be conducted. - Always check Cat Tech gas testing parameters

Working at height - is work in any place, including a place at above or below ground level, where a person could be injured if they fell from that place - Access and egress to a place of work can also be work at height. Critical Breathing apparatus equipment - Understand the correct usage of life support equipment, - Never operate damaged equipment - do not deviate from Cat Tech procedures - Never cross the exclusion zone without BA Driving - Always wear a seat belt - Don’t exceed speed limits - Do not use phones or radio’s whilst driving - Highway code applies on site as well as on public roads

Zero means Zero - Always inform the person in charge that you are taking medication. Proof must be submitted - Do not turn up to work or drive intoxicated or under the influence - Do not sell or distribute illegal drugs - Follow Cat Tech rules and regulations Nitrogen Awareness - Nitrogen (N2) gas can cause death by asphyxiation, it can displace the oxygen in air to levels below that required to support life - N2 is odourless, colourless and tasteless gas - Always barrier and place signs areas where nitrogen is purging - Use the correct hoses and equipment when using nitrogen in confined spaces - Nitrogen must be respected

Line of Fire - Position yourself to avoid moving objects, vehicles, pressure releases and dropped objects - Establish barriers and obey signs and exclusion zones - Take action to secure loose objects that could fall from height and report potential dropped objects - If using tools at height then tool lanyards should be used - Never walk under a suspended load - Placing hands or body in equipment that can rotate Smoking - Do not smoke in company vehicles - Do not smoke outside designated smoking areas - Do not throw cigarettes down open drains or holes in the ground, this is potentially harmful to the environment and gasses can be present

Smoking Apart from smoking being bad for your health, it can also cause major issues on site and other areas. The consequences of smoking in places where you ar not supposed can have huge affects on the reputation of the company and your self, loss of work/job, income and black listed from all refineries. Smoking in areas where you are not permitted could be the most single dangerous thing you could do and also be your last as well as putting others in danger too! Smoking in a non desinated area on a refinery is a total disregard to safety. Designated smoking areas are there for a reason because of inherent hazards, especially from explosion, fire and chemicals, chemical and oil refineries are tightly regulated places in which to work. If you are unsure were to smoke ASK! No smoking Sign Designated Area Due to the seriousness of the above this counts as

Site PPE Requirements (not limited too)

Other PPE requirements

Some sites require H2s monitors to be worn

NitroNgietrno Vacuum set up with Nitrogen circulation Closed Loop Hot CatalystSDuupsptly Plant Cat Catalyst Constant Vacuum Water

Equipment identification 3/4” hp nitrogen hose (No other hose should be used for nitrogen) Desmi fitting- 2 sizes used at Cat Tech 6” and 4”. Safest ones to use due to the locking mechanism. Used for vacuum and loading tasks. Bauer fitting- only used for cooler connection. Connect to vacuum form the cooler. Never to be used for vacuum or loading applications. Thor Couple Dual lock – widely used throughout the company for high pressure air and nitrogen applications.

Chicago coupling – Sometimes used for air applications on site utilities, mainly used by Cat Tech for water. MacDonald – Used by most chemical and oil refineries as their main application for high pressure air or nitrogen

Equipment identification (continued) 110v Yellow -Site wide use, such as lights and power tools. 240v Blue – Not common on site but mainly used for welders, TV monitoring. 415v Red – Often used for DB boards, screeners, and dust collection units. 24v Purple – Used for confined space. 110v -24v transformer.

Hazard Identification signs During site projects you will come across many hazard signs which identify hazard such as explosive, toxic, H2s etc. These signs can be on site units, drums, super sacks, Flo bins, other company barriers and doorway frames, these signs must be understood and respected.

PGD2 Gas Monitor The PGD2 life line gas meter system utilises two flammable sensors. A pellistor for fresh air applications and a thermal conductivity sensor for inert entry. The meter is NOT an infra-red as opposed to what majority of the refineries use. Refineries use infra-red monitors which are calibrated differently using propane gasses, the PGD2 system is calibrated with methane. The Infrared models do not detect a range of hydrocarbons that may occur in many vessels, particularly hydrogen. Safe area Monitor Confined space monitor

The system simultaneously monitors for hydrocarbons, oxygen and hydrogen sulphide. When the oxygen content is greater than 13% volume the pellistor’s work and display the hydrocarbon content with a resolution of 1% LEL. As the oxygen level falls below 13% volume the system switches off the pellistor and switches on the thermal conductivity sensor. When the thermal conductivity sensor is operating the hydrocarbon display resolution is 1% vol. In order to further increase the effectiveness of the system the oxygen sensor has a 'nitrogen purge' mode which when selected introduces a 3% volume oxygen rising alarm rather than the 19% volume falling alarm as utilised when in 'fresh air' mode. This gives the user an early warning of the 'nitrogen blanket' weakening and allows them to take corrective action. LEL conversion to Ch4 (methane) this is when the Meter starts to read below 13% O2. Multiply CH4 by 20 to achieve the % LEL 2% LEL= 0.1% Ch4 20% LEL = 1% Ch4 100% LEL = 5% CH4

PGD2 Instructions for use Switching On The meter will then go through several sequences Switching off press and hold buttons ‘A’ and ‘D’ until the display goes off Zeroing Sensors – Press menu ‘D’ until PGD serial No: EX T. Potts **** then press the right arrow key ‘B’ to zero the sensors this will take approximately 30 seconds

PGD2 life line connecting PGD2 - ‘yellow’ safe area ‘black’ confined space entry Male plug (guide pin) Life Line Strain Relief

Lifeline which connects the two meters together. The connections can be quite tricky so there for you must look in the plug and use the moulded guiding pin to insert into the O2 meter. The strain relief must also be attached to the side of the meter as to avoid any stretching of the cable. An addition to the strain relief and avoiding stretching of the cable would be to use a length of rope tied to the blue carrying straps on the meters, then securely off to a suitable place outside the confined space. Connecting the Life lines  Connect the lifeline as described on the previous page.  Switch on both O2 meters as describe in the switch on procedure page  Press menu button once until you see lifeline on ( )(‘C’) on the LCD screen on the black O2 meter

 Press the arrow button pointing upwards, once you have done this do the same to the yellow O2 meter Wait for approx 3 seconds then check you have the same reading on both O2 meters. If the O2 meter alarms after you have completed this procedure please check the lifeline is connected correctly, if not connected correctly it will read communication links failure’. Other information  Check the O2 meters are fully charged before use.  Do normal atmosphere checks with the O2 meters before use and possibly compare with another set to see if you get the same reading.  Check the O2 meters before you take them to the top of the vessel.  O2 meters have N2 purging for inert entry on them which has a rising alarm rather than a decreasing alarm used for normal atmosphere.  Gas meter has a data logging which records usage.  ATEX approved

Behavioural based safety (BBS) Whilst working on site you are required to conduct a safety audit on any task being completed, there are no limits to how many you can do but at least one per day. These are designed that you approach the workers before you audit them at let them know you are doing an audit on them. Remember no name no blame. These forms should be made available to you either from the Project manager or stored in the life support unit.



Near miss description and reporting What is a near miss?  A near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness or damage – but had potential  Faulty process or management system is the root cause for increased risk that leads to near miss  Other words for these events “ close call” a “narrow escape” or “near collision” Benefits of reporting a near miss reporting  Permits the workers to read about and anonymously share “close calls”

 Enables actions to be taken to manage the risk where possible  There is no penalty for reporting a near miss, it is the complete opposite, and you could save an incident or life!  Your Project Manager will be the handler of your near miss, which will be recorded, reported, investigated by Cat Tech HSE  Near miss should be a learning tool, take time to share the near miss incident Reporting a near miss  Complete the near miss reporting form, provided by Project Manager – distribute via email to HSE & operations  HSE to identify root cause and distribute to staff  Control measures – input from all field staff  Follow up, record the near miss event and kept for HSE.Gov for auditing Space kept for template
