Systems to facilitate the Substantial Completion of Commissioning including Start up and
Performance Guarantee Test Run. These systems have been defined with respect to their
logical operational function. Systems and Sub-Systems are defined in a list and their
boundaries are indicated in the marked-up P&IDs.

This manual contains procedures and general guidelines for carrying out the
commissioning activities.

2.0 Health, Safety & Environmental Procedures

2.1 General
HSE is a key element of the Project and must be made an integral part of all Project
activities, including Commissioning. It is the responsibility of all personnel involved in the
Commissioning to promote HSE in the pursuit of an incident and injury free project.
This document does not intend to present in detail all the HSE procedures and practices
but provides a route map of guidance in meeting the HSE requirements.

2.2 Safety during Commissioning

Safety during commissioning is a continuation of the safety rules during construction and
pre-commissioning, which defines the organization and procedures adopted by
Contractor, Sub Contractors and Vendors while performing site activities in a manner that
provide a risk and security free, safety oriented working environment; thereby,
protecting the health of the workforce and keeping the environment pollution free.

The required labour force for Commissioning activities will be taken from construction.
The Commissioning Operator / Technician Team will be developed jointly by Contractor
and Company as shown in the Site Commissioning Organization Chart and Integrated
Start-up Organization (Ref Page No. 12 & 13 of this manual). Inducting the personnel and
ensuring their HSE compliance for commissioning is the responsibility of the respective
Commissioning Managers of Company (KPC) and Contractor (Enppi).

Although the HSE Site Manual covers all the site activities, the intent of this Safety
Section is to highlight the hazards of the Commissioning activities, control measures put
in place to manage these potential risks / hazards and the safety requirements to be
followed up. Potential risks that need to be controlled during the commissioning
execution are:

Malcolm Vickers Page 4 of 18

 DOCUMENT TITLE: COMMISSIONING MANUAL Rev No. A

Use of hose and temporary hose connections for compressed air, nitrogen, and
pressurized water supplies.
Temperatures above ambient during warm-up operation of the Heating Medium
System and Compressors start-up/operations.
Flammable Hydrocarbon Gas used during system pressurization
Energizing of electrical systems.
Concurrent construction work in the neighbouring area during commissioning.
Running of machinery and rotating equipment during testing.

2.3 Permit to Work (PTW) System

The Permit to Work system is a formal written system used to control the potential
hazards in carrying out certain types of works during execution of commissioning. PTW
system acts as a medium of communication among the site / installation / commissioning
management, supervisors and technicians and the work force that carry out the work.
Essential features of the PTW system are:
Clear identification of Issuing Authority, Receiving / Performing Authority and
the necessary precautions and control measures to implement and follow up.
Training and induction in the issue and use of permits.
Monitoring and auditing to ensure that the system works as intended.

The aim of the PTW System is to ensure that proper planning and consideration is given
to the potential risks of a particular job in order to minimise the risk of harm to people,
environment and the assets. The Permit is a written document, which authorizes certain
people to carry out specific work at a specified time and place, and sets out the
precautions required to follow up for completing the job safely.

2.3.1 PTW Management and Responsibilities

The PTW system is used to control and manage specific hazards during the course of
Commissioning activities. The purpose of such a system is to achieve a safe working
environment by implementing necessary management control in carrying out various
activities that may have potential for hazards.

The PTW system requires the involvement of competent and responsible persons as well
as the application of required safety measures in a controlled sequence. The PTW system
ensures that responsibility and accountability for safe working practice is passed in a
logical sequence to those responsible for the work being carried out and ensures that
adequate safeguards are provided.

Permit to Work (PTW) will be controlled by Contractor Enppi till Mechanical Completion
(MC) stage and there after it will be controlled by Company (KPC) following their existing
PTW system during commissioning phase.
2.3.2 Training and Induction

All the key personnel within the PTW System will be adequately given training and
induction on the roles and responsibilities of:
Issuing Authority
Receiving Authority / Performing Authority and
The workforce

Malcolm Vickers Page 5 of 18

 DOCUMENT TITLE: COMMISSIONING MANUAL Rev No. A

All members of the workforce who are required to work within the PTW system shall
receive instructions on the specific procedures applicable in their area of work execution
and also briefed on a general overview of the PTW system and the specific
responsibilities of every member of the workforce. The Issuing / Receiving / Performing
Authorities shall receive additional training based on their level of competency.

Vendor specialists who will work on the site to do a specific task under the PTW System,
will receive the instructions on the PTW System, and be supervised by the PTW Receiving
Authority until the work/activity is completed and the system or unit is handed over.

2.3.3 Communication

Since a large number of people are involved in the PTW system with large number of
interfaces, communication is one of the most important areas of concern for effective
functioning of the PTW system. Special attention shall be paid for managing the
possibility of communication problems on the site because more than one language is
spoken.

Areas of specific emphasis include:

Person requesting the Permit to Work (Receiving Authority) must state clearly the
location, exact nature and scope of the work, the number of workers, different
disciplines and special tools involved.
Person issuing the permit (Issuing Authority) must communicate clearly the
potential hazards existing in the worksite (location), the precautions taken and
control measures in place, and the additional precautions to be taken by the person
in charge of the work (Receiving Authority). The Issuing Authority shall also ensure
that any person or organization working nearby that may be affected by the work is
communicated accordingly.
Person in charge of the work (Receiving Authority) must communicate clearly to the
members of the workforce (Performing Authority), the information received on
hazards, and precautions & the actions required to be taken in the event of an
emergency. He must also inform the Issuing Authority in case any change occurs in
the working conditions, which may affect the validity of the permit.

2.4 Safe Isolation

Safe isolation is established through the minimum safety requirements for protecting
personnel from events that may be caused by the unexpected energizing or start-up of
machines or equipment, or release of stored energy while carrying out commissioning
activities. This will be accomplished by locking out and tagging out energy isolation
devices, and otherwise disabling machines or equipment to prevent unexpected
energizing, start-up or release of stored energy. Separate measures may be required to
prevent damage to equipment.

2.4.1 Lock Out and Tag Out

Implementation of lock-out and tag-out shall be performed only by authorized personnel.

All machinery or equipment shall be isolated and rendered inoperative before anyone
proceeds with the assigned task, in order to prevent from unexpected start-up or release
of stored energy. An approved locking device shall be used to isolate and render the
machine or equipment inoperative, also a Do Not Operate Tag will be displayed on it.

2.4.2 Isolation and De-Isolations

Malcolm Vickers Page 6 of 18

 DOCUMENT TITLE: COMMISSIONING MANUAL Rev No. A

The isolations and de-isolations of the equipment under commissioning shall be done
electrically and mechanically by authorised personnel only and shall countersign for the
same before and after the jobs are declared complete by the job performing authority
after issuing signatures on the work Permits.

2.5 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPEs form the basic requirement for carrying out any kind of job defined in the work
Permit. Necessary PPEs required for a particular job shall be used by the workers and it
shall be well explained during the Tool Box Talk (TBT) by the Person in charge of the work
(Receiving Authority). Basic PPEs required to use during the Commissioning shall comprise
of but not limited to Overalls, Hand gloves, Helmet, Safety Glasses, Ear Protection, Nose
