Procedure for HSE Risk Assessments

Cairo-HSE-P-09
1.0 Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to describe how HSE hazard identification and risk
assessments are carried out in SUCO.

2.0 Scope of application

This procedure covers procedures to be followed in hazard identification and risk

assessments applicable to all SUCO operations. For equipment changes a PMC is used
as the main form of risk assessment. In situations where new activities or modified
conditions are proposed, then this procedure should be followed to record the
assessment and provide an overview of risks for training and as the basis for continual
improvement.

3.0 Responsibilities

3.1 Initiator

The Initiator is responsible for raising the proposal to change the operation or activities.

Only staff approved by the Field Manager can initiate work which involves a change of
risk profile.

3.1 Area Authority

Only persons defined as competent by the Field Manager can act as Area Authority.

The Initiator discusses the proposed changes with the Area Authority who then arranges
the risk assessment.

For simple changes in work activities then the Area Authority discusses the risk
assessment with the Safety Department.

For more complex tasks then the Area Authority should raise the risk assessment to the
Field Manager who can request a review from Cairo Operations.

The Area Authority carries out a review of risk assessments every six months to ensure
that all activities have been captured and risk assessments updated.

3.2 Field HSE Department

The field HSE Department advises in risk assessments where necessary.

The Senior HSE person in the Field retains all risk assessment reports for as long as the
risk remains relevant to SUCO operations with a minimum period of five years.

3.3 HSE General Manager (Cairo)

He maintains a central file of relevant correspondence and all documents and reports.
Retention time as long as the risk remains relevant to SUCO operations with a
minimum period of five years.

3.4 Field Manager

The Field Manager reviews any risk assessments carried out at the monthly Field HSE
Committee meeting.

The Field manager is responsible for maintaining a list of all Professional Staff
competent to carry out risk assessments indicating their approval of these staff based on
their qualifications.

4.0 Procedure

4.1 General

There are several techniques possible for Risk Assessment depending on what is
intended to be achieved.

As the facilities are well-established and designed and operated to international oil-
field standards. The main risk issue is the assessment of changes.

When there are changes to established hardware then the Plant Modification Certificate
system is used (PMC). For complex changes other techniques such as HAZOP and
Quantified Risk assessment may be used although these are provided from outside
resources.

For general risk assessment a technique used is the Situational Risk Assessment. A
more formal version of this method, called the SWIFT (Structured What-if Technique),
can also be used if the situation needs a more technical assessment.

In all cases the hazard identification and risk assessment should be carried out using
the technique described below.

4.2 Initiation

A risk assessment can be initiated from several sources.

The identification of any risk relies on the recognition that change takes place in an activity,
product or service that has or could have significant impact. Similarly if any new activity,
product or service is contemplated. This recognition is intended to be pro-active, when planning

the change, although can be reactive, having been discovered during routine operations
monitoring.

4.2.1 Change in Equipment

The procedure for assessing the acceptability of new equipment or facilities (Plant Modification
Certificate) is used to assess whether any changes are made that give rise to different risks. Plant
Modification Certificates are circulated to field HSE for comment.

4.2.2 Change in Purchase Materials/Chemicals

When new chemicals or materials are proposed the approval mechanism includes an evaluation
of the new hazards and risks carried out by the operations and HSE Department staff.

4.2.3 Change in Activity or New method

When it is proposed to change the defined operating procedure or work method involving in-
house or contract staff, an evaluation of the effect on the risk profile is carried out by the relevant
staff involving the HSE Department. This also applies to organisational changes.

4.2.4 Change in Supplier/Contractor

When it is proposed to use a new Supplier or Contractor or to change the existing situation, an
evaluation of the effect on the risk profile is carried out. This is done by relevant staff who also
involve the HSE Department.

4.2.5 Change in External Circumstances

When new information arrives from external sources, such as Cairo Office, Regulators,
Customers, or Interested Parties that has an effect on HSE, the HSE Department Staff assess the
implications and evaluate these as new issues.

4.2.6 Scheduled Review

To ensure that all risks are identified and assessed the Area Authority carries out a review of the
risk assessments every six months to update the records and maintain the information up to date.

4.3 Situation Description

The Initiator should provide sufficient information to carry out initial analysis. The
current situation needs to be described in full enough detail to allow assessment of the
various risk categories to consider.

If the risk assessment is considered to solve a problem then the nature and extent of the
problem needs to be defined.

The initiator should also explain the potential consequences of taking no action.

4.4 Examine Technical Data and Information

The person or team collates and examines all relevant process and equipment technical
data including, drawings, process conditions, locations etc. They also gather supporting
technical information to help risk assessment.

4.5 Hazard Identification

The person or team arranges to complete the Hazard identification and Risk Assessment
as shown in Appendix 1.

The Hazard ID is the code for the hazard type as shown in Appendix 2. For example -
Hydrocarbon Gas is Code S-06.

Hazard Source is the area or equipment where the hazard exists. For example - Gas
Turbine.

4.6 Potential Causes, Events and Consequences

Causes provide a description of what might happen. For example - Flammable Gas
Leak.

The most serious event is included to provide an evaluation of the potential

consequences. For example - Gas Explosion.

The consequences column includes the eventual losses from the most serious event. For
example Multiple Fatality or complete facility loss.

The team identifies all potential scenarios and consequences. Team members need to be
aware of the danger of excluding very unlikely events from their analysis, or of over-
reliance on previous operating history.

In carrying out thewhat if analysis, unlikely events (such as an air crash on to the
facility or earthquake) can be included under terms like catastrophic failure. It is also
necessary to include how long the expected risk situation might last.

4.7 Evaluation of Risk Potential

The next step is to assess the Risk Potential against the various dimensions.

P Personnel Injury
H Health Effects
A Equipment or Asset Damage
E Environmental Harm

The Risk Rating for different scale of effect (from 0 5) is described in Appendix 3 for
each of the above dimensions.

4.8 Probability, Frequency or Likelihood

Having identified the potential scenarios and consequences the next step is to determine
the frequency of events if they already occur or have occurred. For potential events
then the likelihood of the event happening is used as a measure.

The probability ranges from 1 to 10 as shown in Appendix 3.

It is important to be objective in this assessment.

Any measures used to mitigate any loss should be highlighted. For example the hazard
of corrosive chemicals entering the eyes produces an unacceptable risk. The use of
goggles, proper equipment and training reduces the likelihood of a major loss to an
acceptable level.

The provision of existing protection measures such as quenches, spill kits, relief
capability etc. should also be considered.

4.9 Risk assessment

Once the frequency and potential severity or likelihood assessment is done then the
positions can be marked on the Risk Assessment Grid. See Appendix 3.

Those that are considered unacceptable should have a plan to move the risk into the
acceptable region. This is achieved by reducing the potential severity or by reducing
the likelihood.

In loss control terms the options are Terminate, Treat, Transfer, Tolerate.

4.10 Solutions

The various options or solutions should be recorded with a recommendation. In

deciding the optimum approach the effectiveness of the measures should also be
assessed against expected cost.

All the scenarios and the recommended solutions should be listed, including why the
rejected solutions were rejected eg. Take too long, too costly, only provides limited
improvement.

4.11 Implementation and Operational Controls

After competing the risk assessment the expected controls should be marked up on the
form. These include decisions on whether there should be objectives to reduce or
eliminate the risk, any training needs or requirements for emergency procedures.

4.11 Reporting Findings

The person or team updates the register of Risk Assessments for the area.
