INTRODUCTION

• Effective safety management system is required to
  prevent hazardous incidents and to
  eliminate and mitigate their consequences. This
  presentation emphasizes the need for application
  of management control for tackling the risks
  associated with handling/working with or near to
  hazardous substances.
• Make aware of various safety practices which
  needs to be practiced and training given to all
  employees.
• Make aware of the various OISD standards and
  norms connected with safety in a POL marketing

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

• Managing safety practices should cover all
  aspects of the the plant and facilities to
  control loss of personal equipment, material and
  environment
• A Objective is to follow a standardized system of
  procedures which would continued to be be
  followed by one and all unless a change in the
  system is duly authorized by a competent person.
• OISD STD/GDN on various topics are available for
  use in Oil Industry.

COMPONENTS OF SAFETY PRACTICES / SYSTEMS

• The basic elements of safety system consists of
• Safety policy
• Safety committees
• Employee participation
• Process/operation safety information
• Process/ operation hazard analysis
• Operating procedures
• Training
• Contractors
• Pre-start safety review
• Mechanical integrity

COMPONENTS OF SAFETY PRACTICES / SYSTEMS (cont.)

1. Work permit System
2. Incident investigation analysis
3. Emergency planning and response
4. Internal audit Compliance
5. Occupational health
6. On the job safety
7. Customers and products
8. Road transportation

Each of these elements should be taken into
consideration while developing safety practices
and systems at all locations. Important aspects
of a few of these elements are discussed in the
following chart.
