6. IMPLEMENTATION
6.1.

General

This system protects pipes against corrosive.

6.2.

Transport

Transportation of materials is placed properly. Crane will be used and all necessary precaution
matures will be taken. Provide truck to transportation of materials and accessories from storage
area to the field. Use crane for lifting and carrying materials boxes. It will be stayed suitable
places, so it prevents to work and workers work safely.

6.3. Preparing Prior to Installation

It will come with the wooden box that includes some small pipes, measuring post and cables
inside. While opening the wooden box, they, who open wooden box, should wear gloves that
protects from edge of wood and also they should be taken care to leap something like as wooden
piece, in this case they have to use glasses in order to protect eyes. Wooden box must be put in
safe area in order to prevent from fire.

6.4.

Installation

Installation will be carried out in accordance with the last approved revision of the
installation projects. Request form for materials will be prepared. Materials will be transported
from storage area to site with crane. Crane will be loaded with slings and manpower. Cables will
be fixed safely in the pickup board. At the working area, the cables will be placed in a way that
will not prevent safe access and egress. The assembly drawings will be checked on the place of
installation. Tower, fixed and movable type scaffold, which is approved and build according to
safety requirements, will be used as access to works at high. The personnel that will erect the
scaffolding will be competent. Scaffold will be tagged, ladder will be color-coded.
Materials will be transported to the site, and then erection places are checked and precautions
will be taken such as if working area has been excavated firstly necessary permissions would be
taken from PPR HSE Department by us and then area would be closed with tape and barrier in
order to prevent from falling. If it is needed, take permission from LOTO in order to work
somewhere that has already been under commissioning. While working in the excavation a
guardian will be there if someone, who works in the excavation or who is going to work there,
will be warned about working under there. When we take these precautions they can start to
work there. First of all cables are pulled in the anaconda spiral from pipe to Measuring Post.
Then one place should be chosen to put Measuring Pots that places will be done in order to put
supports for Measuring Post by civil company. After the works is done daily, working areas will
be cleaned.

7. HSE
7.1.

Personal protective equipment

PPE will be provided and used in accordance with requirements. Helmet, safety glasses, high
visibility vest, and safety shoes will be used at all the times.
When work in dusty environment personnel will use dust protective half masks.
Hearing protection will be used where exposure levels exceed 85 dB.
When work at height fall arrest system will be used if other protective measures are not feasible.
When work with welding, welders will use welders clothes, gloves, protective face masks.

7.2.

Machinery

All machinery, equipment and tools will be maintained in good working order; will be
inspected regularly; and will be operated by competent persons. All necessary measures will be
in place in order to prevent environmental pollution. In case of oil spill an immediate actions will
be taken to localize and clean the area in accordance with the procedure. Guards will be in place

to protect workers from moving parts. Electrical tools will be double insulated and grounded
connected to ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI).
All vehicles will have backing warning device. Banks man will guide vehicles
in narrow work places and when reversing. Vehicles will not pass, will not be
positioned or parked close to excavation edges.

7.3.

Lifting operations

Execution of the lifting operations will comply with the provisions of the
Project HSE Manual.
Cranes will be set on even flat ground. Pads will be used under the
outriggers feet where necessary.
When work is close to excavation the lifting equipment will be positioned
that should change between 1m and 4m from the excavation edge in order
to prevent earth collapse in accordance to ground type. Working limits of the
lifting equipment stipulated by the manufacturer will not be exceeded. All
lifting equipment will be stored in closed area away from wet and direct
sunlight.
Lifting of the stacks of cable trays will be carried out only with fabric slings with the proper safe
working load limit. Fabric slings shall be protected for sharp edges on the trays. The slings will
be inspected and color-coded. Lifting operation shall be segregated from other persons on site.
All personnel and third parties will be kept out of any area where they might
be struck or crushed by a load or lifting equipment if it swings, shifts or falls.
Operators of lifting equipment will be able to see the full path of the load or have a signaler
with an appropriate means of communication to guide them. Operator will obey an
emergency stop signal at all times, no matter who gives it. The operator will
not leave the operating controls while the load is suspended.
Taglines will be used all time, it refers to load to be guided and controlled.
Lifting equipment will not be used in the open air where weather conditions could affect the
integrity of the equipment or expose persons to danger.

7.4.

Access and housekeeping

Safe access to the workplace will be provided at all times. Guardrails will be provided at the
edges and openings where risk of fall from 1.5 m presents. Where scaffolding is in use it will
meet the requirements. The scaffoldings will be erected on a firm base; will be fixed to existing
steel structure; the platforms will be fully covered and guard rails will be installed. Walkways
will be kept clear of trash, debris and other materials to prevent slipping and tripping. The
polyethylene foil will be collected and disposed in accordance with the Waste management plan.

7.5.

Manual handling

Where manual handling cannot be avoided tasks will be designed to minimize the
weight, range of motion, and frequency of the activity. During manual handling all
workers have to wear safety gloves and make sure they are protective against trip
hazards and sharp edges. The distance between the person and the object being
handled will be as small as possible. Employees will use good manual handling

techniques for lifting, pulling or pushing. Material handling equipment will be easy
to move, with handles that can be easily grasped in an upright posture. Heavy objects
will be stored at waist level. Manual handling training will be delivered.

7.6.

Fire prevention and protection

All the necessary fire prevention measures will be taken in accordance with Procedure for
emergencies. Keep flammable materials (cleaning solvents, plastics, wood) away from locations
at which cutting-off by means of abrasive wheel, grinding or welding work is performed. In
