It is the hallmark of effi cient operations. An interested management, a knowledgeable and responsible supervisory staff, and a conscientious, well-trained work force, all concerned with the elimination of accidents in the overall performance of our work, will combine to make our organization safe and affective. Exxon Managemeni recognizes its responsibility for healthful and safe working conditions and', through its technical and supervisory personnel and through various committee assignments, strives to provide those conditions. TTiis is ac complished through safe working rules based on experience, safety knowledge, and competent work direction Each employee has a personal responsibility for his own safety and for the safety of his fellow employees. He is expected to exercise good judg ment, property use and maintain the tools pro vided, adhere to the established working rules, -and follow the directions of well-grounded supervision. Information on the application of safety rules and procedures is available in this Safety' Manual, Exxon Engineering Standards, and various Pro cess and Mechanical manuals. Technical help in the application of safety principles and safety equipment to specific situations is available through the Safety Coordinator, Industrial Hygienists, the Technical Division, and the Safe Operations Committee. 1 The safety rule* contained in this manual apply to all employees of Exxon Company, U.S.A. and all contractor employers working in the Baytown Refinery, These rules specify minimum safety requirement! that matt be followed. Willful or negligent violation of any of these safety rules may result in disciplinary action, including dis charge without notice or in the cate of contractor, cancellation of the contract. Overlapping Permits Work permit procedures are established to pro mote effective communications and to insure that work is performed in a safe environment. Slice the permit is issued for the job, only one work permit should be in effect for one job In one area at one time. When more than one work group is involved on the same job in the same area, the "One Work Permit Rule" may lead to some con fusion. Therefore, the Chief Operator will deter mine which of the two following alternatives is better for controlling the work in his area. 1. Issue one work permit for the job and have each Maintenance Supervisor who will perform work on the job sign the permit. The last work group to finish or the last Maintenance Supervisor to sign must turn in rhe work permit. 2. Issue a permit for the work each work group is to perform; but in absolutely no instance, must the permits con flictfie., work on one permit mak ing work by another permit unsafe). For example, a permit to perform hot work and a permit to perform opening and blinding work. PROCEDURE FOR DEVIATING FROM THIS SAFETY MANUAL IN SPECIAL SITUATIONS Where special conditions Or situations exist that make the requirements stipulated in this manual impractical to follow on a routine basis, an altcr- 2 MM procedure may be developed. Thii alterna tive must be written, reviewed with the Safety Coordinator and approve] obtained from the Pro cess and/or Mechanical Superintendent before implementing. The approved alternate procedure must be filed in the Unit Area Section of the Pro cess Unit Instructions Manual and/or the Mechanteal Safety Notebook. PPOCEPUPK POP MAKING CHANGES TO THIS SAFETY MANUAL It is the prerogative of Management to set aside any of these roles However, before doing so, the approval of the Superintendent in charge must be obtained and tht situation discussed with the Safety Coordinatorand with tht ContractAdmin istrator in cast of contractors. The Refinery Safety Coordinator is responsible for keeping mis Safety Manual up to date, and he should be notified of desired additions or revi sions. He will arrange for the preparation of addi tions or changes and obtain Management ap proval before inclusion into the Safety Manual. 3 Section 1 GENERAL DEFINITIONS FOR SAFETY MANUAL PERSONS 1.

PROCEDURE 1, Lockout Procedures -- Before anyone works on electrical circuits or electrically powered equipment where they could be endangered, the ao electrical supply must be turned off and locked out in accordance with the following procedures: a. Shut Equipment Down -- The Process xrson must shut the equipment down at the I xal start-stop switch or local "Hand-Off-Auto" switch. In case there are remote start-stop switches on this equipment, he must notify other operating personnel responsible for oper ating the remote start-stop switches and re quest that a white DO NOT OPERATE tag be placed on the start-slop switches. If the scanstop switch is located on a control panel, than it must be covered with a section of DO NOT OPERATE pressure-sensitive cape. b. Lock and Tag Disconnect Switch--The Pro cess person must turn the disconnect switch to the off position, lock it with a Process lock, and tag it with the white DO NOT OPERATE tag. If a Process or another person is to work on the equipment, the Process person must use a mul tiple lockout adapter. The Process operations lock must be in the position closest to the switch. All Process locks will be identical, and the same key will unlock ill of them. C. Check Disconnect and Tag -- The Process person must try the local pushbutton station to be sure the correct disconnect switch is locked out. When the local control station is a "Hand-Off-Auto" selector switch the process person must lock the switch in the "Off' posi tion. He must then tag the pushbutton or selec tor switch with a while DO NOT OPERATE tag. d. Enter in Log -- The Process person must enter the "lockout" in the Process log book. e. Apply Mechanical Lock -- Before mechani cal work is performed on equipment, a mechan ical lock must be applied by the person perform ing the work. 4-2 (1) Mechanical Person -- Etch Mechanical person who works on the equipment must tint add his own lock and a ted DO NOT OPERATE ag on which he will write his name, skill, and the date. H is the responsibil ity of each person working on the equipment to assure his own safety by keeping nis tag and individual lock on me disconnect switch while he works on the equipment. If two or more people in the same craft are working together on the equipment, only one mechanical lock and red DO NOT OPERATE tag are required- Ifa cmtractoremployee if doinp Ihe uert, he must use m Exxon mechanical-type loci and ihe appropriate electrical lockout proce dures tag obtained from the Contract Adminis trator. fie must write on the lag his name and Ihe name of the contractor firm. (2| Process Person -- When a Process person is to perform work on the equipment, he must obtain his individual mechanical-type lock and key from the supply in the control room or center and then follow the above procedures in eft). f. Remove Lock and Tag -- Locks and DO NOT OPERATE tags must be removed is follows: (1) Remove Mechanical Lock and Tag -- As each person finishes his work, he must re move hie own lock and red DO NOT OPER ATE tag. At the end of his work shift, he must remove his lock and tig whether his work is finished or not. This does not include the original Process lock or white DO NOT OP ERATE tag. (2) Remove Process Lock or Locks and Tags --The Process lock orlocks mustbe the last to be removed. When the locai control station is a "Hand-off-Auu" selector switch the lock or this selector switch must be the lest re moved. The Process person, after determin- 4-3 mg that it is safe to do so, must remove the Process lode or locks and white DO NOT OPERATE tags and must notify other operat ing personnel to remove the white DO NOT OPERATE tags or DO NOT OPERATE pressure-sensitive tape from remote startstop switches. He must then enter the lock removal in the log book. (9) Emergency Lock Removal^-If itbecomes necessary to remove a lock by other than the Mechanical person who installed it, only the Shift Superintends^ is allowed to remove it. Upon removal of the lock, the Shift Superin tendent must send a note to the Department Heads of the Process and Mechanical De partments stating whose lock was removed, where it was located, and why It was re moved. A log of the same information must be maintained in the Shift Superintend art's office, A master key for the mechanical per son's locks must be kept at the Shift Superin tendent's office only. 2. Wiring Disconnect Procedures -- for some types of work, the lockout procedure alone is not adequate. Such work includes, but is not re stricted to, the following: (1) work on fans inside cooling towers, (Z) work inside confined spaces containing electrically powered equipment such as mixers or filters or electrodes (desalters), and (3) work on equipment where the switch controls more than the one piece of equipment. In such cases, this wiring disconnect procedure must be followed: a. Lockout Equipment -- The disconnect switch must be locked out fat accordance with the electrical lockout procedure in Paragraph 4a of this section. b. Check and Disconnect Circuit -- After mak ing sure the dicult is dear by cheeking with a voltage tester, the Mechanical or Process per son must disconnect the wires and tape them together. c.Tag Circuit-- The Mechanical or Process person must tag the disconnect switch with a yellow WIRING DISCONNECTED tag. On the tag. he must note where the wiring is discon nected and musl sign and date the tag. d. Remove Lock and Red DO NOT OPERATE Tag -- After rhe wiring has been disconnected, and Uped together, the Mechanical or Process person must remove his Individual lock and red DO NOT OPERATE tag unless he must do other work on the equipment. Do not remove the yellow WIRING DISCONNECTED tag. . Wiring Reconnect--The Mechanical or Pro cess person who reconnects the wiring must place his individual lock and red DO NOT OP ERATE tag on the disconnect switch, reconnect the wiring, and then remove his luck and the red DO NOT OPERATE and yellow WIRING DISCONNECTED tags.

This section outlines minimum precautions for safety when perform ing hot work in any location not designated as a routine hot work area. In all such areas, a green HOT WORK PERMIT is required for all hot work. SPECIAL DEFINITIONS 1. Hot Work -- Any work requiring the use of burning, welding, or brazing equipment, explo sives, open fires, portable grinders, unattended internal combustion engines, concrete busters, soldering irons, nonexplosion proof electric motors (including motor chippcrs, drills, and saws), nonexplosionproof floor or String lights, sandblasting, explosion-actuated tools, electric hot plates, or any other flame- or sparkproducing equipment. EXCEPTION: work on energized intriniscally safe circuits, electrical instruments and electrical power circuits covered under Cold Work Permits in Section B. 2. Hot Tap -- Any connection made to a pipeline or other equipment that is under pressure or has not been cleared and prepared for tapping using conventional construction methods. RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Chief Operator is responsible for issuing the peen HOT WORK PERMIT for his equipment. He or his designated representative must desig nate boundaries within which the permit applies and must insure that all necessary safety precau- lions have been completed prior to the Chief Operator signing the permit. When hot work is to be performed on equipment passing through or adjacent one processing area, out controlled from another, die Chief Operators from both processing areas are responsible for issuing the permit. This rule applies if the hot wotk to be performed is within approximately 50 feet of operating equipment, (Example: Oil Movements tine in pipe rack adjacent a process unit.) When hot work is to be performed on equipment in a non-processing area adjacent a processing area both the Chief Operator from the adjacent processing area and the Basic Equipment Owner of the non-processing area or his authorized rep resentative are responsible for issuing the green HOT WORK PERMIT. (Example: road work adja cent a process unit.) 2. Maintenance Supervisor is primarily respon sible for seeing that only the type of work co vered by the permit is performed, and that conditions at the jobfhe are safe for the scheduled work; also that hot work is confined to the area covered by the permit. 3. Mechanical personnel performing the work are responsible for checking the green HOT WORK PERMIT to be sure it is current, valid, and prop erly signed by the Chief Operator and Mechanical Supervisor. If any of the signatures are missing, work must not begin. 4. All persons at or near the hot work site must be constantly alert for any condition that could make hot work hazardous. If such a condition develops, all hot work and machines must be stopped at once. All personnel must immediately vacate the area and notify the Chief Operator or the nearest Process person of the hazardous condition. The green HOT WORK PERMIT is no longer valid and 5-t 5-2 ) mint b* removed. All persons associated with tht work must be notified. Before work may resume, s new men HOT WORK PERMIT must be is* sued. When Mechanist personnel leave the job (such m lunch bieek), they must cheek to see that conditions hove not changed and the permit has not been removed before resuming hot work. PROCEDURES 1. Area Other than Enclosed Spaces and on Marine Docks -- Par performing hoi work in any area not designated *s safe for routine perfor mance of hoi work, the following requirements apply; a. Hot Work Planning -- The Maintenance Supervisor will advise die Chief Operator of the nature and location of the hoi work to be per formed as well as the proposed riming. Nor mally this should be done at least one day be fore hot work is scheduled to begin. b. Preparing for Hot Work --The Chief Opera tor will work with the Maintenance Supervisor to see that the area is prepared properly for hot work. The Chief Operator will see that the fol lowing work is completed: (1) Clearing and Blinding -- Check to make sure all blinding and clearing of equipment necessary for execution of hot work is com pleted. Equipment which has been removed from service for hot work and has contained flammable material or is connected to equip ment that contains flammable material must be (1) blinded inerted and vented (2) blinded and deaned or (3) disconnected and cleaned before Issuing i green hot work permit. Opening and blinding of equipment requires a white opening or bunding permit as stipu lated in Section 7. (2) Remove Flammable Material--Check to make sure that no flammable liquids or solids 3-3 are spilled ortrapped in oraround equipment at the site of the proposed hot work. (3) Prepare Scwm -- Cover all sewer catch basins and manholes in vidnity of hot work. Catch basins containing flammable material must be flushed with water before covering. Alao, check for and seal off sewer vents in the area that may present a hazard. (4) Remove Trash -- Remove other flamma ble materials such as trash, wood, or dry grass. Where hot work is to be carried out over dry grass, the area must be saturated with water before performing hot work, and a water hose left connected and readily ac cessible. (5) Provide Fire-Fighting Equipment -- Make cure that adequate fire-fighting equipment is it the jobsite. At least one fully charged (ire extinguisher of type and size designated as suitable must be provided where hot work is to be performed (B) Make Surrounding Area Safe -- Check surrounding area for possible release of flammable vapors in the not work area. Such tilings as safety valve discharges, leaks from pumps and or compressors, valve packing leaks, etc., must be identified and necessary corrective action taken. (7) Prepare for Hot Taps -- For hot taps or other jobs requiring hot work on equipment in service, all requirements of the Hot Tap Procedure Safety Standard" (Mechanical Division Safety Procedure No. 11) must be satisfied. Before the green HOT WORK PERMIT can be issued, the checklist attached to the above mentioned standard must be completed. The Chief Operator must make sure that his Operating Supervisor has ap- / ~v i, proved the work to be done and so note in the space provided on the back of the permit. Also, he must see that the Mechanical En gineering Department Inspector has checked tor adequate metal thickness and initialed the apace provided on the back side of the tag. (!) Check Other Work in Area -- the Chief erator must check for active white OPEN- aC AND/OR BLINDING PERMITS in the area of the hot work. A HOT WORK PERMIT must not be issued if work associated with existing white OPENING AND/OR BLIND ING PERMIT could create a hazard by spill or gas release All openings from which release of flammable material could occur art to be considered hazardous- The area of concern must cover the geographical limits where there is a remote possibility that sparks from hot work could come in contact with flam mable materials from any opening. If such a possibility exists in the proposed hot work area, the white OPENING AND/OR BLIND ING PERMIT must be killed. The green HOT WORK PERMIT shall not be issued until all openings from which flammable material could be released are blinded, and the area is cleared of flammable liquid or vapor. (9) Provide for Overhead Hoi Work--When hot work is to be performed in overhead lo cations, a suitable method for catching hot meul, electrode stubs, etc., must be provided where these materials would cause a fire hazard or when they would create a safety hazard when work is going on below. ft 0) Safe Location of Welding Equipment -- When electric welding is to be performed, the ground lead connection must be at tached at a point within the area covered by the permit. The welding machine must be in the same area or an adjacent area approved 5-S for nonrestricted movement of motorized equipment. (11)Perform Gas Teats ---The ChiefOperator shall perform gas tests for explosivity, oxy gen deficiency and toxic materials depend ing on the nature of the j'ob. e. Filling Out Green Card -- After completion of all items covered in b above, the Chief Opera tor must double check the hot worksite. He and the Maintenance Supervisor will determine if a Standby man or other spedal precautions are necessary. The Chief Operator or his desig nated representative will then fill out the green HOT WORK PERMIT and the checklist on the back side of the tag. d. Maintenance Supervisor Site Inspection -- The Maintenance Supervisor must also inspect die site to make sure all necessary work and checks have been completed. His signature on the green HOT WORK PERMIT indicates he checked the work area and agrees all is safe for hot work. . Chief Operator Site Inspection -- When all is considered ready by both rhr Chief Operator and Maintenance Supervisor, and the Mainte nance Supervisor has signed the permit, the Chief Operator will make a final site inspection and if all is safe lor hot work, he will sign the permit signifying that hot work can begin. t. Permit Duration and Disposition -- Before the green HOT WORK PERMIT is issued, the Chief Operator and Maintenance Supervisor must agree on the expiration time and note same in the space provided on the permit. This decision on duration as well as disposition of the permit copies must be in accordance with the following guidelines: (1) Eight-Hour Permit -- Permits to do hot 5-6 *; work in or around processing rat where flammable or trade material* exist are nor mally eight-hour permits. Such pennit is good far die shift in which it was issued It on be continued into the next mechanical shift only after the Chief Operator and Main tenance Supervisor for the new shift have inspected the site end are confident no changes have taken place. If there is any question, the Qiief Operator must make a new gtest. Hot work on the new shift must not begin until the Chief Operator and the Maintenance Supervisor have signed the audboard pardon of the green permit. They must alto sign die control center copy. If work continues into the third shift the same procedure must be followed. Eight-hour permits are void at the end of 24 hours, and a new pennit must be obtained if work is to continue. When a green HOT WORK PERMIT is issued die cardboard portion must be placed in s conspicuous location at the jobsite by the Chief Operator or his designated representa tive. The original is to be kept in the Process Permit file. At the end of the Mechanical shift or at job completion, whichever comes fast, the Mechanical Person must sign the carboard section of the permit, check appropri ate box as to job completion, and return it to the Chief Operator. Both copies must be re tained for at least 24 hours after expiration and then discarded. (2) Job Completion -- Under certain condi tions, a green HOT WORK PERMIT may be issued for the job duration. In general, It is when the job conditions at and surrounding the work area will not change and create a flammable or toc material nazard. Exam ples of such jobs ares (1) construction ofa new yr Process unit; (2) a field pipe fabrication shop in an open area; (3) construction ofa new tank in an open area; (4) during turnarounds when oil, gas, and chemical tines are blinded at the unit limits; and (5) no job completion cards can be issued inside an operating Process unit. The cardboard portion of the pennit must be placed at the Maintenance Super visor's jobsite office. The Chief Operator will keep die original on file in the Process permit file. Upon job completion, the Maintenance Supervisor must sign the cardboard section of the pennit, check appropriate box as to job completion, and return tt to the Chief Opera tor. The Operating Supervisor must approve aD job completion permits including contract jobs. fl. Hot Work Authorisation -- Only after all of the above items have been completed and green HOT WORK PERMIT has been signed by the Chief Operator and Maintenance Supervisor is hot work rathorlaed. After the QiiefOperator or his designated representative has personally hung the carboard portion of the permit in a conspicuous location at the job site, hot work can begin. 2, Marine Docks --- For performing hot work on or under Marine Docks, all provisions given in the bask procedure above shall apply. In addition, the following work shall be completed and checks made before a green HOT WORK PERMIT can be issued.
