1.0 Introduction
1.1 What this document is about
Motor Vehicle Collisions are a major cause of fatalities, serious physical injuries, and property loss in the BP Group.
The risk of injury or fatality is not only to BP employees and contractors, but also to members of the public. BP MER
is committed to continuous improvement in driving safety performance, consistent with meeting our policy of no
harm to people.
This Driving Safety procedure is the parent document of the regional application of the expectations of Group
Recommended Practice on Driving Safety (GRP 3.7 0002) and establishes activities required to implement and
maintain a disciplined application of recommended practice. Good documentation is required to demonstrate
conformance to GRP 3.7 -0002.
Division line managers are required to apply the BP MER Driving Safety requirements in their operations and to selfverify compliance by members of their BP and contractor workforce and vehicles within their operating area. S&OR
is responsible for establishing and communicating the Driving Safety requirements, policy and improvement plans
and for verifying conformance.
Implementation of the BP MER Driving Safety Management System (DSMS) (of which this procedure is the parent
document) manages Driving Safety within the Middle East Region (MER) business risk. A list of the full suite of
documents which form the BP MER Driving Safety Management System is included as Addendum 1 of this
document.
The BP MER DSMS is designed to set clear standards and requirements to follow to establish a consistent approach
to manage driving in order to demonstrate:
Conformance to the Driving standard (GRP 3.7-0002);
Risk identification and reduction by monitoring key performance indicators (input and output)
Improve safety performance by reducing both the risk to which the BP workforce in the Middle East Region are
exposed and the potential of harm to members of the public.
Reduce the number and frequency of driving related accidents and fatalities
1.2 Applicability
This Driving Safety Management System (including this Driving Safety Operating Procedure) applies to the Divisions
operating in the Middle East Region and to S&OR activities within the MER.

The principles of Journey Risk Management apply to all journeys; the need for the journey must be challenged and
drivers must be trained and hold a valid permit, vehicles must be to the required standard, VDR/IVMS must be
installed, route risks assessed and all risks reduced to ALARP.
The BP MER Journey Risk Management Procedure MER-ALL-SOR-PRO-3.7-0019-00 must be applied to all journeys
not specifically exempt under that procedure. Audits of Journey Risk Management should use the checklist
Key Points: -The need for all journeys must be challenged -All journeys must be planned -All areas of travel must
have route risk assessments (specific routes or area wide for urban areas) -All journeys requiring a formal Journey
Risk Management Plan must follow the BP MER Journey Risk Management Procedure
Some journeys carry elevated risks. The risks of such journeys must be identified and effectively managed, which
will require stronger and alternative controls than are incorporated within the standard Journey Risk Management
Planning procedure. Such journeys/operations may include (but are not restricted to):
security sensitive conditions
unusual weather conditions
movement of large number of personnel
movement of abnormal loads
rig moves/camp moves (conducted by rig/seismic contractor, supervised by BP) these must include the
requirements of the BP MER Convoy Procedure MER-ALL-SOR-PRO-3.7-0022-00.
Page 18 of 23
shipping containers must only be transported on trailers equipped with twist locks, which must be engaged
prior to commencing the journey, all load restraint methods should be checked for tautness, correct angles and
rechecked again every 100km on blacktop and every 50km on graded roads, or after taking sharp evasive action
heavy tracked plant and mobile cranes must be moved only on low bed trailers to reduce the centre of gravity
with adequate securing to prevent sideways and fore and aft movement.
drivers are responsible for safely securing their loads. If a driver has any concerns about the way in which the
cargo has been loaded then they must not move until the load is repositioned to their satisfaction.
