The Owner will be defined in the contract and hereinafter referred to as "Owner's Representative." Contractor assumes and has the full responsibility and liability for the safety of its agents, servants and employees and for the compliance of its subcontrac tors, and anything contained herein does not relieve the Contractor of such responsibility or liability. Safety rules and procedures are an integral part of each contract and must be carried out fully, as any other specification for the job. Any exception to the rules set forth herein must have prior written authorization from the Owner's Representative. Contractors unable or unwilling to secure personnel performance in keeping with these rules will not be acceptable. The Contractor's safety record and Workers Compensation EMR will be two criteria used to judge qualifications for bidcSng. n c,i In addition to the rules set forth herein, Contractors working in or near an existing operating facility must be cognizant of and conform to Owner's safety rules for that area and any applicable federal, state or local laws. Should any procedure set forth herein conflict with applicable federal, state or local laws, the more strin gent will apply. 2 msmm i r`: ST0407325  <? . -3- TEXAS OPERATIONS EMERGENCY PROCEDURE 1. The following procedure must be used to call an ambulance, report a lire, spill of hazardous materials or release of hazardous gases: a. Dial *66666* (if busy or does not answer immediately dial 2112). b. Give your name, the nature of the emergency and its exact location, including building number and door letter, if applicable. c. Stay on the line until you are sure that the message is understood and confirmed. d. Station someone on the road to direct emergency equipment to the scene. i j j 4 ^ q f rt i s $ | e. The emergency phone numbers are not to be j used for anything other than for emergency calls. ; 2. Personnel must know the location ol any plant alarm horns. In case of a gas release, observe the wind direction as indicated by the alarm horn and wind vane indicator and proceed to go crosswind. STANDARD EMERGENCY SIGNALS ARE AS FOL LOWS: a.GAS RELEASE ----------------------------------------(Continuous) Tnis signal must be sounded only by the department where a hazardous release occurs. Shut down all ot your equipment in operation. Stop smoking. All Safe Work Permits in that area are automatically can celled. All except those charged with the respon- ST0407326 k fu sibility of taking care of the emergency must leave the immediate area of the release and go to the proper assembly point according to the Unit Emergency Plan until the "All Clear* is sounded. Person- nel in other areas downwind must be alert for signals in their area or verbal instructions. ' ; ; b. ALERT (Series of short blasts) - Shut down all of your equipment in operation.

For hearing protec tion purposes, personnel should remain at least twenty (20) feet from the pump. Personnel work ing within twenty (20) feet of the pump for more than thirty (30) minules must use hearing protec tion. Any time blasting work is being performed in a confined space, hearing protection will be worn as the noise level tends to be greater as a result of the "echo chamber" effect e. During flexible lance hydroblast operations, an eighteen (18) inch straight lance (stinger) will be attached to the working end and the nozzle at tached to it. In smaller pipes or tubes where this is not possible due to connector size, the flexible 71 qTndn7^Q2i barrel a mini- Jtvable an the i other as the on a before ned to mating d held limum ubber luired, ubber rotecleast workmore rolecirmed rill be as a >s. an rill be le at9 this txible &||6Qfl0385 lance must be conspicuously marked eighteen (18) inches from the end. I R 5. Special Requirements a. A Pre-job Checklist shall be completed by the hydroblasting crew and the Owner's Repre sentative prior to starting the job. (Refer to Sec tion W. Page 89) b. An observer (a crewman other than the lance operator) will be present during all hydroblast operations. He will continuously observe the ac tions of the lance man and surrounding condi tions. In the event of an injury, gas release, fire, etc., he will be responsible for notifying the lance man, shutting down the pump, and taking the proper action for the situation. c. In all situations except line moleing, the operator or individual closest to the nozzle tip will be in control of the on-off switch (deadman). In a line moleing type operation where the equipment would make this more of a hazard, the hydroblast crew supervisor will use his best judgement to determine location of the switch and caution operating personnel that good twoway communication must be maintained at all times. Additionally, on line moleing operations, consideration should be given to the diameter of pipe being cleaned versus the diameter of the moleing hose being used to prevent mole line reversal. d. A Safe Work Permit is required for all hydroblasting jobs. The following minimum items should be covered: 72 STD4n73Q5 smoisse block emergency plan, isolated status of equip ment, chemical hazards, protective equipment required, Pre-job Checklist, barricades, and dose out requirements.
