FOREWORDSafety Audits have been conducted in the oil/gas

industry in one form or other. Generally, Safety Audits are of two types viz. Internal Safety Audits and External Safety Audits. While methodology to be adopted for carrying out the External Safety Audits is separately dealt with, this document contains guidelines for conducting Internal Safety Audits in a professional manner and is expected to assist the industry further in maintaining and improving the Safety.

Different aspects of the Internal Safety Audits starting from the need of such Audits, methodology, preparation of reports, follow up actions on the recommendation of the Audit Reports have been covered in Section I of this document- "Internal Safety Audit Procedures".

In addition, comprehensive Check Lists are given in Section II of the Document covering typical areas in the oil/ gas industry. These Check Lists would be useful tool for undertaking in-depth and systematic Internal Safety Audits and would go a long way in accelerating audits to ensure that no aspect is overlooked while carrying out such audits.

The present document on Internal Safety Audits (Proce-dure and checklists) was revised by a Functional Committee con-stituted from amongst members nominated by the industry for the committee comprising of refining, marketing, pipelines and gas processing disciplines.

It is hoped that the provision of this document, if implemented objectively will go a long way in improving the safety in the oil & gas industry.

This document will be reviewed periodically for improvements based on the new experiences and better understanding. Suggestions from users/industry members may be addressed to:

INTRODUCTION

This is the second edition of the OISD Guidelines on Ìnternal Safety Audits' (Procedure and Checklists), first edition of which was published in October, 1989.

The first edition was prepared by OISD and did not have a regular Functional Committee. A Functional Committee for the objective of revising the same was therefore constituted.

The original document has been now revised to include a new chapter on Internal Audit of cross-country pipelines in order to make it broad based and thoroughly updated with the experience gained during the first round of External Safety Audits of refineries, gas processing plants, Marketing terminals/LPG Bottling Plants etc. As during the interim period a number of new OISD Standards/ Guidelines have been published, reference to the same has also been provided wherever required.

With the issuance of this edition, the guidelines contained in earlier edition stands revised.

5

SCOPE

These guidelines are applicable for refineries/on-shore gas processing units(excluding all oil-field operations)/ and marketing installations. Items which may not be applicable in Marketing have been separately identified by an asterisk (*) mark. However, it should be clearly understood that in addition to check points contained in these guidelines locations may like to further improve the checklist in order to meet any specific requirements of the respective safety policy of the concerned organisation.

In the case of terminals where no pipeline transfer is taking place, chapters 1,2,3,5,6 and 9 would be applicable.

In the case of terminals where pipeline transfer is taking place, chapters 1,2,3,5,6,9 and 10 will be applicable.

OISD-STD-144 on “ LPG Bottling Plant Operations” has recommended a periodicity of once a year for Internal Safety Audit of individual LPG Plant (Marketing). The inspection and Maintenance System as well as Electrical Safety Audits are to be carried out based on Internal Audit Checklists as stipulated in OISD-STD-144.

The OISD-145 guidelines are exhaustive and therefore be adopted for carrying out a comprehensive Internal Safety Audit of LPG Bottling Plants (Marketing) for which chapters 1,2,3,7,8 will be applicable

PROCEDURES

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Identification of vulnerable areas and specific potential hazards, is one of the prime function of loss prevention in oil industry. Safety audit is an important tool in undertaking this function.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF SAFETY AUDITS

While the basic aim of safety audits is to identify the areas of weaknesses and strengths, safety audits are undertaken to meet different specific objectives viz.-

1. To identify any design deficiencies and also any weaknesses which might have cropped up during modifications / additions of facilities.

2. To ensure that fire protection facilities and safety systems are well maintained.

3. To ensure that operating / maintenance procedures, work practices are as per those stipulated in the manuals and standards, which might have degraded with time.

4. To check on security, training, preparedness for handling emergencies and disaster management etc.

5. To check the compliance of statutory regulations, standards, codes, etc.

6. As a social objective to cater to public opinion and concern for safe environment. This also improves public relation of the organization.

3.0 SCOPE OF SAFETY AUDITS A Safety Audit subjects various areas of a company's activities to a systematic critical examination with the objective of minimizing loss. This includes all the components of the system viz. management policy, attitudes, training, design (Process, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.) aspect, layout and construction of the plant, operating Inspection & Maintenance procedures, emergency plans, personal protection standards, accident records.

4.0 TYPES OF SAFETY AUDITS

Two types of Safety Audits are proposed to be carried out as below :

I) Internal Safety Auditii) External Safety Audit

11

Audit conducted by Internal Audit teams of the organisation is categorized as Internal Safety Audit.The methodology for carrying out such Internal Safety Audit is described in greater detail under paras 5.0 to 8.0. Internal Safety Audits will be coordinated by local management underthe overall direction from the Corporate Office.

External Safety Audits will be carried out by outside teams consisting of technical experts from other organizations in oil industry, professional bodies and statutory authorities under the overall coordination of OISD.

5.0 METHODOLOGY OF INTERNAL SAFETY AUDITS

5.1 FREQUENCY OF AUDITS:

All the facilities in a particular Refinery/Installation should be covered minimum once every year. In case of LPG bottling plants the internal safety audit should be conducted minimum once a year as per OISD-STD-144. However, facilities' design can be audited every 3 years or after any major modification or additions. For this purpose, the individual organisation/ installation should draw up a calendar in advance for carrying such audits for every calendar year which should be made known to all the Departments and concerned Area Managers. The areas to be audited should be clearly identified and logically grouped. The suggestive groupings in case of a Refinery Installation are given below. Similar groupings can be done for other types of Installations. However, this could be modified depending upon layout and complexity of the individual installation.

Group -I All LPG Storage, filling & dispatch facilities. Group – II All dispatch facilities like Tank-Wagon loading Tank - lorry loading, Bitumen

filling and dispatch facilities.

Group - III Oil Movement & Storage (OM&S)(Rest of all the facilities other than those covered under Group I & II, including TEL blending)

Group - IV PROCESS UNITS :

Sub Groups -

IV - A Atmospheric / Vacuum Units

IV - B Visbreaking, Coking, Bitumen Blowing Units.

IV - C Secondary Processing Unit like FPU / FCCU/HCU & H2 along with TreatingUnits.

IV - D Naphtha HDS, Cat-Reforming, Kero / Diesel HDS etc.

IV - E N2 & Others.

Group - V Power House, Electrical Sub-stations, Water Block, Utilities, Effluent Treatment. Group - VI Miscellaneous other facilities such as Workshops, Warehouse Laboratories etc.

Group - VII General Audit, Fire Fighting and Safety, Layouts etc.

9

5.2 FORMATION OF MULTI-DISCIPLINARY AUDIT TEAMS:

The Internal Audits should be carried out through multidisciplinary audits teams. The composition of the Internal Safety Audit may vary depending on the Group and areas to be audited, however, person(s) concerned should have necessary experience and background to undertake in-depth audit in a particular discipline. A team of 4 to 5 experienced officers from various disciplines viz. Process / Production, Maintenance / Inspection, Electrical, Instrumentation, Fire & Safety and with the activity involvement of concerned Plant / Area Manager is suggested. One of the team members should be nominated as the leader of the audit team. In multi-unit organizations, the team members could also be drawn from the Head Office / Corporate Office and other operating Units under its control.

5.3 DURATION OF AUDIT

Depending on the nature of audit and type / complexity of the installations in the selected group, the duration of internal safety Audit can be fixed. This may vary from 2 to 7 working days for facilities under each group.

5.4 USE OF SAFETY AUDIT CHECK LISTS

Check lists are the most useful tool for undertaking systematic Safety Audit. Even for a skilled and well qualified engineer a good check list would be necessary as a guide. Like a code of practice, a Check List is a means of pooling the knowledge and hard won experience and ensures that no important aspect is overlooked or forgotten. Such check lists help maintaining uniformity and speeding up the audits.

In Section-II of this document, detailed model Checklist covering important areas are given. It is suggested that oil industry members should adopt these model check lists for carrying out Internal Safety Audits.

5.5 PREPARATION BEFORE SITE VISITS FOR INTERNAL SAFETY AUDITS:

Before the safety Audit team visits any particular facility for carrying out Safety Audit, it would be essential to study all relevant documents as below to get complete picture :

- Layouts- P & IDs- Operating Manuals- Maint. / Inspection Manuals- Fire and Safety Manuals, etc.

Depending upon the nature of audit more emphasis can be given to study specific documents. All the audit team members should study these documents in advance to know the details of the installation.

5.6 BRIEFING:

Before beginning of each audit, all concerned persons of the area/installation be briefed by the team leader about the purpose of the audit. No impression should be left that audit will throw bad light on them.

5.7 SITE INSPECTIONS:

Most of the information could be gathered through site inspection using ready-made check lists. The auditors should enter their observations under the remarks column and not simply state "yes" / "no". Wherever necessary, observations should be recorded in separate sheet. Inspection should be carried out accompanied by Installation / Plant Manager or the assigned officials.

10

5.8 DISCUSSIONS: Further information can also be gathered through discussions (formal & informal), with site personnel and Installation / Plant Manager, who is in-charge of the area or other site officers. The audit team should interact with persons from various disciplines such as Production, Maintenance, Electrical, Instrumentation, etc.. Formal discussions could be in the form of brief periodical sessions while informal discussions could be over a cup of tea with personnel working in the area.

5.9 STUDY OF DOCUMENTS:

In addition to the documents which are already studied before inspection of the facilities, other documents, such as Operating Instructions, Standing Orders, Log Books, Log sheets, Accident Records, Minutes of Safety Committee Meetings etc. may also be studied as required.

6.0 PREPARATION OF AUDIT REPORTS

The work of the Internal Safety Audit item should be presented in the form of a Safety Audit Report for each group which should contain observations & recommendations and also in brief the modalities adopted in conducting audit and the names of the audit team members.

Before finalizing the report, the Safety Audit Team can give a presentation as feedback to the Operating / Management personnel of the Area / Installation. Additions or deletions could be made in the draft report based on the discussions and comments received during the presentation. This approach is always constructive and does not undermine the technical competence of the audit team.

7.0 FOLLOW UP OF AUDIT REPORTS

Generally, the Internal Safety Audit Reports are submitted to the concerned authority who appoints the audit team for undertaking needful follow up actions. Only the appointing authority should exercise judgement in rejecting any of the recommendations. The appointing authority shall be of senior management level ( General Manager and above ).

The crux of the safety audits lie in removing the weakness identified during the audit. Sometimes audit reports identify only the problem / weakness, but not the solution.

In such cases, it would be necessary to undertake a detailed study of the specific area and to identify the rectification measures. Wherever the necessary in-house expertise is not available for detailed studies, help of consultants / professional bodies should be sought for.

8.0 IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS

The final and most important phase is the implementation of recommendations. A senior person should be nominated for coordinating implementation of all accepted recommendation under a time bound program. Senior management should review the progress of implementation of recommendations periodically through Management Safety Committee meetings and other review meetings.
