This manual will apply at ail Engineering and Construction Services project locations unless the owner has an existing set of safety rules specifically for contractors. Exceptions to this manual, or any part thereof, will be agreed upon prior to starting any field work. The owner will be represented on con struction as 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. The contractor will be held responsible for his subcontractors conforming with these safety rules and procedures. Any exception to the rules set forth herein, during the course of any project, must have prior written authorization from the owner's representative. Contractors and contractor supervision unable or unwilling to secure per sonnel performance in keeping with these rules will not be acceptable as supervisors. Contractor employees who exhibit a poor attitude toward safe work and safety procedures will not be acceptable. Employees leaving a job due to safety violations will not be allowed to return to any owner's work without proper authorization from the owner. The contractor's safety record will be one criteria used to judge his qualifications for bidding. In addition to the rules set forth herein, contractors working in or near an ex isting operating facility must be cognizant of and conform to owner's safety rules for that area and any federal, state or local laws governing. Should any procedure set forth herein conflict with applicable federal, state or local laws, the latter will apply.

These tags must be used to protect personnel exposed to hazards of equipment and must be respected by all personnel. The personnel responsible for the operation of equipment or their designee must clear and tag the equip ment. Any personnel whose safety could be endangered while working on this equipment must affix their tag. Violation of red danger tag rules will result in disciplinary action up to and including rejection from any work on owner's property. 10.1.2 No control such as a valve, switch, clutch, etc., is to be operated by anyone while a red danger tagis attached. If a control must be operated intermittently such as for testing equipment, the red danger tag must be properly removed before each operation. Attachment of danger tags to equipment controls does not mean that equipment has been cleared to work on. When work is to be done on tagged-out equipment personnel responsible for the operation of the equipment are responsi ble for clearing the equipment and making it safe for others to work on. 10.1.3 Whenever the operation or use of any equipment may endanger anyone, a request must be made to supervision of the group which operates the equipment to clear and tag the equipment. "Clearing" means making the equipment inoperable and safe for others to work on. The authority to clear and tag equipment may be delegated by this super vision to gny qualified personnel after supervision has assured themselves that the person delegated can properly clear the particular job involved. 10.1.4 After the group which operates the equipment has cleared and tagged the equipment, each worker or group of workers who may be ex posed to the hazards must tag the equipment for their protection. When red danger tags are attached to equipment by persons other than those responsible for its operation, prior approval from the person responsible shall be obtained. 10.1.5 As the individual jobs have been completed, each worker or group of workers must remove their tags immediately. 10.1.6 The group responsible for the equipment must place their tag first and remove their tags last. 10.1.7 Red danger tags may be removed only upon authorization of the person designated on the tag.The supervisor of any person who fails to remove a red danger tag when a job has been completed may authorize the removal of the tag after he has determined to his complete satisfac tion that the equipment can be operated in a safe manner. In the space on the tag entitled "Removal Will be Ordered By it is permissible to designate a classification such as shift foreman, electrician, or machinist instead of a specific individual's name. 10.1.8 At the discretion of the supervisor, locks may be used on valves and switches in addition to, but not replacing red danger tags. -26- OOW 0l813 ST0028295 10.1.9 Tags removed must be filled out and turned in to the owner's representative. 10.2 Warning Tags (Green) 10.2.1 When it is necessary to convey instructions or information prior to operation of equipment controls, green "warning" tags are to be attached to the controls. 10.2.2 G reen "Warning" tags should be removed when conditions set forth on the tag have been met 10.3 Caution Tags (White) i 10.3.1 White caution tags are affixed to mechanical or electric equip ment by the owner's representative to prevent operation of such equip ment by anyone until items on the tag have been completed. 10.3.2 The tag provides spaces for meggering, rotation, final alignment and lubrication of equipment. When appropriate action has been taken, the personnel performing the work signs and dates the tag. 10.3.3 When tagged equipment is released to the owner, a represen tative of operations and the owner's representative sign the tag which is kept by the owner's representative until job completion. -27- DOU 01814 ST0028296 11.0 SAFE WORK PERMITS 11.1 Safe work permits issued by the owner to contractor personnel may be required for certain hazardous locations and conditions. These permits are designed to provide a means of checking at the job site the safety of such jobs as. but not limited to, entering closed vessels; working on electrical gear; welding, cutting on, breaking into or repairing pipelines or vessels in operation or under pressure or that have contained hazardous materials. These permits also cover work involving the use of flame or spark producing equipment in hazardous areas or near an open ditch and work on machinery. 11.2 Contractor supervision must be in close contact with the progress of work as welt as communicating with the owner's representative for up-to* date status of operations. Further, contractor supervision must be certain that all personnel involved are informed as to specific procedures and changes in the situation. 11.3 Safe work permits are to be initially requested through the owner's representative and issued by the owner's operating area or facility supervision involved on any job where the safe work permit is applicable. More than one safe work permit may be required on certain jobs which will be ascertained upon obtaining each safe work permit. Permits are issued on a day-to-day basis. 11.4 Personnel must give to the person issuing the safe work permit a careful and complete description of the work to be done* 11.4.1 Where a job presents a serious man-hazard due to chemical, mechanical, electrical, temperature or height exposure, it is mandatory that a written safe job procedure accompany the request for the safe work permit. This procedure is to be signed by the owner's represen tative, process representative, and the contractor, who thereby agree that the procedure allows the job to be done safely. 11.5 0 irections and restrictions noted on safe work permits must be careful ly followed. 11.6 A safe work permit must be reissued for a job if there is evidence that conditions have changed subsequent to the issuance of the original safe work permit 11.7 Permits issued for jobs that last longer than one day will normally be issued for thatjob each day. By mutual consent of the parties involved, permits for these jobs may be issued for longer or shorter periods of time. 11.8 Vessels in an existing facility to be entered must be made safe for per sonnel by such measures as disconnecting, blinding, or double block and bleed on connecting piping. If such precautions are impractical, a detailed procedure for performing the work in a safe manner must be prescribed as specified in Paragraph 11.4.1. 11.9 Vessels in an existing facility to be welded on, or cut, must be positively checked inside for flammable or explosive gas and/or liquids and safe work permits issued before heat is applied. DOW 01815 -28- 11.10 The contractor may request safe work permits for his own protection. Safety checks by the owner for dangerous gases or chemicais should be re quested through the owner's representative when there is any uncertainty. 11.11 All safe work permits in the area affected are automatically cancelled when an emergency signal is sounded and must be reissued after the alt-dear signal.

If sloping is impractical, shoring must bs used in cases whenever the vertical dimension exceeds four feet. 12.1.1 Personnel removing shoring after completion of work must not be in the bottom of the excavation. Shoring must be removed in such a manner to prevent cave-in on personnel. 12.2 Contractors must provide adequate barricades, covers, handrails, signals, flagmen, or other appropriate warning devices to protect personnel near any hazardous operation or excavation. Floor openings, open trenches, excavations, etc., shall be covered when handrails or barricades do not provide adequate protection to personnel. 12.2.1 Contractors must notify the owner's representative of necessary obstruction on road shoulders on the day it occurs^ 12.2.2 Contractors must obtain approval from the owner's represen tative at least one day prior to cutting roads or otherwise obstructing traffic on plant roads. 12.3 Grade lines, ropes, chains, etc., must be sufficiently marked in order to be visible day or night 12.4 No obstruction of any kind, whether permanent or temporary, is per mitted within 8'-9" horizontally from the centerline of any railroad track and within 22'-6" vertically from the top of the rail. Specific authorization from the owner's representative as well as blue flags are required prior to boring under or excavating adjacent to railroad tracks. Blue flags must be placed on railroad tracks when the entrance of a train would present a hazard to personnel or equipment. 12.5 In locations where strictly temporary loading or unloading operations are to be undertaken, portable derails must be used by personnel engaged in these operations to prevent overrunning of the cars by a train. 12.6 Blue flags meeting ICC specifications, available through the owner's representative, must be placed on railroad tracks when the entrance of a train would present a hazard to personnel or equipment and in addition to, or in con junction with, derails during loading or unloading operations. Blue lights, available from the owner's representative, must be attached to blue flags at night. 12.6.1 Blue flags must be placed on the tracks so they will be in un obstructed view of the train crew and they must be placed a minimum of two-car lengths (100 feet) in front of the end car they are intended to protect. Exceptions to the minimum distance may be made by the owner's representative where existing installations do not allow suf ficient space. 12.6.2 Blue flags must be removed immediately when the hazard for which they were installed no longer exists. -30- DOU 018*7 ST0020299 13.0 RADIATION 13.1 Alt state and/or federal laws governing use, storage or handling of a radiation source must be complied with. 13.2 A minimum of qualified people are required for the performance of any radiographic work. 13.3 In locations where a radiation source is used or stored, regulations re quire that it be marked with a "Radiation Material" sign. This sign is for the purpose of informing anyone in the area that such material is present, and not that a safety hazard due to radiation exists. 13.3.1 Only authorized personnel may enter an area marked by "Radiation Area" sign. 13.3.2 All areas where a radiation hazard exists must be roped off and marked conspicuously by standard signs at a safe distance from the source of radiation. These signs bear the radiation symbol of magenta (or purple) on a yellow background with the words "Caution--Radiation Area." 13.3.3 "Radiation Area" signs must be removed when a radiation hazard no longer exists in the affected area. 13.4 Equipment containing a source of radiation must not be handled, un crated or installed without prior clearance with the owner's representative. OOU 01818 -31' ST0028300 14.0 DEMOLITION 14.1 This section specifically covers the demolition (removal of facilities that have been abandoned). Due to the inherent hazards in this type of work, special care must be devoted to safe procedures, scope understanding and communications concerning the safe clearance of work. 14.2 It is not appropriate to make assumptions in any stage of a demolition job. Responsibilities must be delegated only to those whose profession qualifies them to make the necessary judgments and decisions that are re quired to assure the safest possible prosecution of thejob. From start to finish, each person connected with a demolition job must adopt an attitude of "prepare for any possibility." 14.3 The contractor shall make certain that all lines, services and equipment have been cleaned or purged and properly cleared for safe removal. All lines (including water and steam) are to be considered hot until positive safe clearance has been obtained. 14.4 Special care shall be exercised to locate and mark old underground or otherwise hidden lines, cables and sewers using the best available informa tion and owner's assistance. 14.5 The prejob safety meeting with the contractor, as covered in Section 1 of this manual, shall devote special attention to preplanning the safety aspects of demolition jobs. 14.5.1 Steps of dismantling and loads to be handled shall be reviewed with the owner's representative prior to starting work. 14.5.2 Temporary provisions must be made where safety showers, eyewash baths andfire extinguishers are being moved in the work area. -32- DOW 01319
