HSSE guidelines
These guidelines for HSSE have been developed as a supplement to MPcp.
They provide the structure for ‘how we do HSSE’ in projects, supported by
tools and examples from BP projects around the world.
The facilities that we operate in the future are determined by the projects that
we create today. The HSSE guidelines provide guidance on how we select,
design, build, and start-up facilities that are safe, meet our environmental
expectations and are healthy for our workers and surrounding communities.
Through the consistent application of these guidelines, developed from SPU
best practice, we will ensure that our HSSE goals are delivered.

Our goal is to generate business value by delivering projects, which are efficient in both capital investment and long-term operation. We will do this by consistently creating distinctive projects and delivering them with world class execution. The Major Projects common process (MPcp) is a key part of the overall project system which is designed to support Performance Units in pursuit of this goal. This system includes our people and processes, supported by networks and functional authorities, guidelines, tools and good examples.
The MPcp document lists expectations, for each of the ten elements of Projects Excellence, which shall be met before proceeding to the next stage of the project. Associated with each expectation are a number of attributes which describe and support the achievement of that expectation. These attributes are intended to guide project teams in developing their action plans for the stage and to drive consistent good project performance.
The MPcp document also describes the governance process, including functional attestation, required to meet the Group Investment Assurance and Approvals Process (GIAAP).
Guidelines have been written, for each of the main project disciplines, to provide more detailed support to project teams in the achievement of MPcp expectations. These Guidelines describe the framework and processes which discipline practitioners are expected to follow. They have been compiled from the wisdom and experience which exists in the company. They represent the current view of discipline requirements and good practice, which we want to be applied consistently across our range of projects. They have been entitled Guidelines deliberately because we want people to think about their application and not just follow them by rote.
Over time we expect people to identify improvements in the practices described in these Guidelines but we want such improvements to be introduced in a planned and systematic way. For this reason each of the Guidelines has clear ownership by the leader of the relevant project network. A project team should adhere to the Guidelines unless it perceives significant material benefit from departing from them. Where it does perceive such a benefit it should review the proposed departure with the relevant Network Leader beforehand, both to obtain challenge to its view but also to ensure that the experience is visible and can be readily captured for the benefit of others if the departure does lead to improved practice.
MPcp HSSE Guidelines ©2007 BP International Limited

The responsibility for implementing the Guidelines lies with Team leaders within Performance Units. It is their further responsibility to ensure that proposed departures from the Guidelines and improvements to them are raised promptly with the relevant Network Leaders.

Health, Safety, Security and Environmental (HSSE) excellence is recognized as a key component of our strategy to become the #1 Projects Operator by creating distinctive projects with world class execution. The HSSE Guidelines are the ‘BP way’ of how we do projects that codifies HSSE best practice and enables knowledge to be shared to achieve best-in-class HSSE performance – we will use them everywhere.

Level 4: Examples from projects
Level 2 – The Roadmaps
A roadmap is included at the end of sections 2 - 8 of the guidelines. The roadmap for each knowledge area is organized around the four key stages of project development (Appraise, Select, Define and Execute). They describe activities that should be considered before proceeding to the next stage of the project. The actions covered are extensive and some may not be relevant to every project. However, all actions should be considered prior to rejection. Addressing the respective activities for each stage will support the achievement of the stage objectives as well as provide an excellent foundation for the work of the subsequent stage.
Level – Tools
Tools to assist HSSE professionals, engineers and managers in completing the activities outlined in the roadmaps are located on the companion CD to the HSSE Guidelines and are also available at the ETP & Projects Library located at
http://pelib.bpweb.bp.com. Level 4 – Examples
HSSE examples from BP Major Projects are also located on the companion CD and at the ETP & Projects Library.
The tools and examples are intended to guide the project teams in completing the activities, driving consistency, and incorporating best practices and lessons learned. The HSSE Guidelines provide the structure for ‘how we do HSSE’ in projects, supported by tools and examples that will be invaluable for not only HSSE professionals, but also managers, engineers and other project personnel.
©2007 BP International Limited MPcp HSSE Guidelines 1 The HSSE Guidelines are aligned with the Projects & Engineering strategy, the BP Group 5 Year Plan and the Safety & Operations agenda. They seek to:
• Provide a common language and process to guide HSSE in projects. • Define HSSE excellence in terms of activities and good practice. • Incorporate lessons learned from previous projects.
• Provide HSSE professionals, engineers and project managers with tools and examples to assist in delivery of HSSE excellence.
Full implementation of these guidelines will result in enhanced project performance, protection of our reputation and improvement of our liability profile.
HSSE Leadership
‘HSSE leadership starts at the top, or it does not start at all.’
Management’s strong, visible and demonstrated commitment and leadership is a critical component of HSSE excellence in projects. Management is accountable for implementing these guidelines.
During the CVP Appraise and Select stages, management clearly defines and communicates to all project team members (BP and contractor) the HSSE strategy that defines the overall project HSSE philosophy, principles and goals. The HSSE strategy is fully considered when confirming the fundamental viability of the project, selecting the development concept, engineering the facility and during commissioning and start-up. Inherently safe design should be a critical factor in concept selection and can result in a simple to execute and operate design; or, if we get it wrong, a contrived design that is inherently difficult to operate safely.
HSSE must be led and managed like all other aspects of the business, and by the same people who manage these aspects – project management and members of the line organization. HSSE success is determined by what management does – not what they say – and managers and supervisors are held accountable for HSSE performance. HSSE is integrated into everything.
HSSE Management
HSSE Management describes the organization, plans and systems that should be developed and implemented to achieve the HSSE goals defined by project leadership. A key component of HSSE management is risk management. Effective management of HSSE risk is recognized across all BP segments as a key component for the delivery of world class projects.
Key HSSE management activities include the development of an HSSE risk management strategy (as part of the overall project risk strategy), and the development of a Project HSSE Management Plan. The HSSE Management Plan describes the key management systems that the project will use to manage the risks.
Getting HSE right (gHSEr) is the BP HSE Management System Framework which
supports the HSE Expectations to be adopted by all BP managers. Managers are accountable for putting in place appropriate documented systems and processes for each Expectation, for ensuring continuing progress towards Project HSSE goals and targets, and for confirming that these processes are effective via the HSSE Assurance process.
gHSEr is still the current framework for managing HSSE and should continue to be used until it is replaced by an Operating Management System (OMS). When the OMS is developed, the content of gHSEr will be fully incorporated.
Project HSSE Reviews (PHSSERs) are a mandatory element of a project’s assurance strategy and are specifically mandated by the Integrity Management Group Standard. PHSSERs heighten the awareness of HSSE risks and help make HSSE an integral part of the gated decision and approval process for projects within CVP.
Health
Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and health risk management are essential to ensure that personal, occupational, and environmental health risks in projects and operations are managed properly. The Health section of the Guidelines is focused on identifying and managing health risks and driving compliance with local laws and BP standards. Appraise and Select stage activities are focused on identifying and confirming key health risks and developing a health plan for the project. Key health risks in both the project and operational phase are identified through a review of regional health
risks and completion of a Health Impact Assessment (HIA). Potential health impacts should be considered during concept selection, especially when deciding where to locate facilities.
During the Define and Execute stages, a health organization is put into place and the Health Management Plan is updated to include planning for Execute stage activities (e.g. construction). A detailed Health Risk Assessment (HRA) is conducted to identify potential health impacts on workers and health considerations are incorporated into the design of the facility. Execute stage activities are focused on implementing the Health Management Plan and planning for the Operate stage.
Design Safety
Excellence in design safety is an engineering responsibility and is best achieved through Design Hazard Management. This process involves major hazard identification, evaluation and continuous risk reduction through design safety measures. Design Hazard Management is underpinned by four engineering activities:
Inherently Safer Design
Safety Critical Design Measures and Performance Standards
Safety Study Programme
Case for Safety
Managing hazards in design involves eliminating or minimizing major accident hazards at the source, and preventing those that remain from becoming major accidents. It also involves the provision of sufficient design integrity to control the consequences of a major accident to reduce severity and potential escalation, while providing mitigation and protection for personnel and key facilities from the effects (e.g. heat, smoke, gas, toxic fumes, etc.).
Security
The Group Security Policy underpins and establishes the basis for how BP manages global security. Our fundamental mission is to provide a safe and secure work environment by protecting ourselves, our assets and our operations against risk of injury and loss, or damage from criminal, hostile or malicious acts.
MPcp HSSE Guidelines ©2007 BP International Limited
16 ©2007 BP International Limited MPcp HSSE Guidelines 17
One of the key expectations of BP’s Group Security Policy is that security will be taken into consideration during the appraisal, selection, definition and execution of all new capital projects. As the project moves forward, project requirements will change. These adjustments should not prevent security analysis from taking place early, ideally at the Appraise stage. Security risks and plans will inevitably change; indeed early planning will reveal important areas for reconsideration. Project Managers should consider security as early as possible in the process. Bolting security onto a project rather than building it in can be, at best, expensive and, at worst, fatal.
Environmental and Social
The OMS Practice, Environmental Requirements for New Projects, is the basis for the Environmental and Social section of the guidelines. It is a full life-cycle process based on four fundamental principles:
We will identify and understand our impacts.
We will consult with others.
We will design to avoid adverse impacts and minimise use of natural resources.
We will reduce the adverse residual impacts of our wastes, emissions and discharges.
The early screening of environmental risk brings clarity and transparency to our decision making process and the Environmental Performance Requirements set consistent standards for delivery across the businesses. The Environment and Social section describes the processes to ensure that BP exhibits performance-driven management and that BP is consistent and transparent wherever the company operates.
Construction Contractor HSSE Management
Construction Contractor HSSE Management describes an eight-phase process for contractor management consistent with the OMS Practice for Working with
Contractors. Risk identification is a key part of the process and is a key factor in
determining contracting strategy. Active participation by BP and the contractor(s) are essential to achieve excellent HSSE performance.
During construction, there are four main tasks that leadership must implement—by doing, not saying—if the project is to achieve best in class HSSE performance:
Define and clearly communicate the HSSE expectations to each contractor and sub-contractor bidding on the job.
Consider HSSE as a critical factor in the evaluation of bids and selection of contractor(s).
Reinforce the contract HSSE requirements with the successful bidder(s) to ensure that those accountable for managing the project understand the expectations.
Manage performance of construction activities through site visits, proactive involvement in HSSE practices, enforcement of the HSSE requirements of the contract, and close out the construction phase with a post-contract joint evaluation of the contractor’s and BP’s HSSE performance.
2.1 Introduction
‘Everybody who works for BP, anywhere, is responsible for getting HSSE right. Good HSSE performance is critical to the success of our business.’
Lord Browne, January 1999
Strong, visible and demonstrated management commitment and leadership is a critical component of HSSE excellence in projects. The HSSE Guidelines are the ‘BP way’ of how we do projects – we use them everywhere. Management is accountable for ensuring that these guidelines are implemented.
The attitude of managers and supervisors towards HSSE plays a vital role in achieving excellent HSSE performance. Examples of HSSE Leadership behaviours that promote great HSSE performance are:
Set high standards
Regularly explain HSSE expectations and verify understanding and compliance.
Focus on sustainable performance improvements in HSSE and measure progress via leading and lagging indicators.
Continually emphasize that schedule will never compromise HSSE.
Consistently recognize good HSSE behaviour and performance. Tackle poor performance.
Communicate openly
Talk face-to-face with staff about HSSE performance and concerns.
Regularly vary communication methods to get the HSSE message across.
Keep the HSSE message simple and direct.
Provide prompt, honest feedback on concerns raised by the workforce. Show concern for people
Ensure effective mechanisms exist for people to raise HSSE and welfare concerns.
Be approachable for informal discussions about HSSE concerns.
Be personally involved in incident investigation to understand root causes and communicate learning.
Proactively involve others
Ensure adequate HSSE resources and training are available; allocate sufficient time and priority for HSSE initiatives.
Take personal action to improve HSSE performance by showing enthusiasm, decisiveness and support.
MPcp HSSE Guidelines ©2007 BP International Limited
20 ©2007 BP International Limited MPcp HSSE Guidelines 21
Regularly visit worksites and conduct ASAs
Confirm that BP’s HSSE expectations are communicated to the workers.
Ensure that the BP Control of Work (CoW) Standard is fully implemented on BP premises and that effective CoW programmes are implemented on contractor sites.
Confirm adequate BP presence and contractor supervision onsite to support and monitor work.
Review pre-job risk assessments to ensure that they are task specific; available in the language(s) of the workers performing the work and that the workers are aware of the hazards.
Although management is ultimately accountable for HSSE performance, BP people at all levels in the project organization are responsible for leading and engaging the workforce in meeting our health, safety, security, technical integrity and environmental goals and objectives. HSSE is integrated as part of everything we do.
The foundation for HSSE excellence in operations begins with creating distinctive projects – choosing the right projects to build during the Appraise and Select stages. During Define and Execute, we design the facility for inherently safe and environmentally sound operations, then build, commission and start-up the facility safely.
MPcp Expectation
(Appraise – Execute) Management commitment to HSSE is strong, visible and demonstrated.
2.2 Strategy and Goals
During the CVP Appraise and Select stages, management clearly defines and communicates to all project team members (BP and contractor) the HSSE strategy that defines the overall project HSSE philosophy, principles and goals. The HSSE strategy is fully considered when confirming the fundamental viability of the project, selecting the development concept, engineering the facility, and during construction, commissioning and start-up.
2. Roles & Responsibilities, Resources & Organization
Management establishes clear HSSE roles and responsibilities for all project team members and allocates competent HSSE resources, and where necessary, provides specialist expertise to support the line. Recruitment, selection and placement processes ensure that personnel are qualified and competent to perform their tasks. Sufficient thought should be given early in the project to the composition of the HSSE team and the timing when the team members should be committed to the project. There is a strong bias that the Project HSSE Manager is BP staff.
2.4 Stakeholder Alignment
Open and proactive communications are established and maintained with employees, contractors, regulatory agencies, public organizations, communities and JV partners regarding the HSSE aspects of the project. We value the importance of community awareness and will actively engage in dialogue with various stakeholders to maintain public confidence in the integrity of our projects and our commitment to HSSE performance.
2.5 Performance Review
HSSE performance metrics (both inputs and outputs) are established, communicated and understood throughout the project organization. Project management regularly reviews the HSSE performance metrics to determine progress against objectives and targets and what management system changes are necessary.
The Integrity Management Standard requires that the Performance Management System for all projects shall require formal reviews of health, safety, integrity, security and environmental impacts carried out at key stages. For major projects, GP 48-1

.1 Introduction
HSSE Management describes the organization, plans and systems that should be developed and implemented to achieve the HSSE goals and targets defined by project leadership. A key component of HSSE management is risk management. Effective management of HSSE risk is recognized across all BP segments as a key component for the delivery of world class projects. Risk Management Guidelines for
Major Projects defines the project level risk management process to ensure that key
project risks are managed holistically.
Getting HSE right (gHSEr) is the BP HSE Management System Framework which
supports the HSE Expectations to be adopted by all BP managers. The Project HSSE Manager is accountable to the PGM for ensuring that the project has a comprehensive overall HSSE strategy and plan for delivering its HSSE goals and targets, is appropriately resourced, has the necessary management systems in place and is working in accordance with those management systems to deliver HSSE performance. Essential responsibilities include:
Confirm that all Health, Safety, Security and Environmental concerns and risks relating to the full lifecycle of the project, novel technology and nature of the location have been identified.
Develop a Project HSSE Management Plan that defines HSSE expectations, organizations, and systems to be used to manage HSSE throughout project development and execution.
Verify that all applicable regulations, BP standards, practices, requirements and expectations relative to HSSE have been identified and have been met, e.g. o Control of Work
o Driving Safety
o Integrity Management
o Environmental Requirements for New Projects
Confirm that HSSE Plans are in place and are being implemented that will assure HSSE performance during design, construction, commissioning and installation.
Develop a holistic Case for Safety (CfS).
Develop a Transition HSSE Plan that assures operational personnel have adequate HSSE training, emergency response arrangements and procedures have been established, and all notifications, and requirements for regulatory and HSSE contractual compliance have been completed and handed over to the site for ongoing compliance.
MPcp HSSE Guidelines ©2007 BP International Limited
28 ©2007 BP International Limited MPcp HSSE Guidelines 29
gHSEr is the current framework for managing HSE and should continue to be used until is replaced by an Operating Management System (OMS). When the OMS is developed, the content of gHSEr will be fully incorporated.
MPcp Expectation
(Appraise – Execute) A documented HSSE Management system is in place which meets BP’s expectations and requirements.
.2 Project HSSE Management Plan
The Project HSSE Management Plan describes the organization and HSSE management systems implemented to manage HSSE risks. All projects shall implement the following BP Group Standards and future standards as they are developed: Personal Safety o Control of Work o Driving Safety Integrity Management Marine Operations
The intent of the BP Group Standards is to ensure a formal approach to managing risk for BP employees and their contractors. The further intent is to promote adoption of the standards by companies working on behalf of BP on non- BP premises. Projects should endeavour to hire contractors with HSSE programmes that are as protective, or more protective, than BP Group Standards, and encourage those who do not have such programmes to adopt them.
The Golden Rules of Safety are minimum standards for safeguarding personal safety and key controls and procedures that must be followed in all places of work. These rules have been created to allow knowledge from past safety incidents to be shared widely across BP, and emphasize the basic rules that should be in place at all locations for managing safety during typical risk activities.
MPcp Expectations
Appraise An HSSE Management Plan has been developed and the Project Leadership Team has clearly defined and communicated to all project team members the HSSE strategy that defines the overall project HSSE philosophy, principles and goals.
Select The Project HSSE Management Plan adequately addresses the HSSE risks identified and how they will be managed in future stages, including health, occupational and design safety, security, environment and social.
Define The HSSE Management Plan is updated to reflect Define activities and to identify the HSSE management issues associated with Execute.
Within-Execute The HSSE Management Plan is updated to reflect Execute activities, including construction, installation, hook-up and commissioning.
End-of-Execute The project and site are fully implementing robust HSSE Management Plans, processes and procedures to confirm preparedness and obtain approvals for start-up.
. Project Planning
The goal of the Project Appraisal Plan (PAP) is to enable an informed decision on project viability and concept selection. Significant HSSE issues that could affect the viability of the potential project should be identified and assessed. HSSE risks, including Major Accident Risks (MAR), are taken into account in the evaluation of project options.
The Project Execution Plan (PEP) is developed during the Select stage and defines key project strategies and plans necessary to complete the Define and Execute stages of the project. All HSSE concerns and risks relating to the characteristics of the full lifecycle of the project, novel technology, and the nature of the location shall be identified and managed. HSSE management is a critical component of the PEP.
.4 Risk Management
Effective management of risk is recognized across all BP segments as a key component of the delivery of world class projects. The Integrity Management (IM) Standard requires that formal procedures are in place to identify hazards associated with normal and abnormal operations, assess risks, formally document this information and communicate it to affected staff. New projects with the potential for a major incident shall assess their risks using the Group MAR Process (ETP No. GP
48-50 Major Accident Risk Process).
Risk Management Guidelines for Major Projects defines the project level risk
management process to ensure that key project risks are managed holistically. Key project HSSE risks are identified and assessed as part of this process and a Project Risk Register is maintained for documenting the results of the process.
The BP Group Standards (Driving Safety, Control of Work, Integrity Management and Marine Operations) ensure a formal approach to managing risk for BP employees and their contractors for these areas. In addition, detailed HSSE risks are managed at the discipline level (e.g. Health Risk Assessment and Human Rights Risk Assessment) and by site or job-specific risks assessment techniques (e.g. UXO Risk Assessment, job-safety analysis, and task risk assessment). The Diving HSSE Guidelines shall be used in conjunction with other BP Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) policies, practices and procedures to manage risks associated with diving operations.
RTC Task Risk Assessment (see figure 3.1) is one example of a risk assessment process that has been implemented to systematically identify and manage hazards associated with specific tasks at the worksite.
RTC
Task Risk Assessment
Risk assess it Talk it Check it
The RTC Assessment Process is a pre-task risk assessment led by the supervisor prior to the start of each shift, or as necessary throughout the shift.
The System
The risk assessment form is designed as an Aid Memoir with a systematic approach to identifying the following:
• Tasks Involved • Hazards Involved • Control Measures
RTC is carried out immediately following the regular toolbox talk at the start of the shift, or prior to commencing any new task outside the scope of the initial RTC assessment.
The Process
• The foreman completes the RTC form at the work site prior to commencing work.
• The foreman and team discuss task specific hazards and control measures. • Once everyone understands the tasks, risks and control measures, an RTC form
is signed.
• The foreman inspects the work site and signs the form.
• A ‘time-out’ is taken if the task changes, additional risks identified or anyone thinks it is not safe to proceed.
• At the end of the shift, the team signs off on a form confirming that the worksite is clean and safe.
See toolbox for details on how to implement RTC on your site.

End-of-Execute The HSSE risk assessment is updated to ensure that all risks associated with handover and transition to Operations have been identified and are being managed. All response plans are documented in a Risk Register with named individuals responsible for managing them and providing input into regular progress reviews.
.5 Competency and Training
Recruitment, selection and placement processes should ensure that personnel are qualified, competent, and physically and mentally fit for their assigned tasks. BP and the contractors’ workforce should have the required skills and training to competently perform their tasks in a healthy, safe and environmentally sound manner. A plan should be in place to verify that the contractor demonstrate and document that their workforce (including subcontractors) are trained, competent and meet BP expectations.
The IM Standard requires that project, design, construction, operations, maintenance and contractor personnel shall be trained in the relevant operating and/or maintenance procedures, and in the potential hazards associated with their work. Understanding of the training received shall be verified, and competence assessed, at regular intervals.
.6 Incident Reporting and Investigation
All incidents should be reported and investigated to a level appropriate to their potential for harm. The Financial Control and Accounting (FC&A) Incident Reporting &
Investigation Procedure defines the requirements for doing this. The E&P Safety and Operations Reporting Decision Tree provides additional guidance to support SPUs
in reporting incidents. The IM Standard requires that all significant IM incidents are investigated using a recognized root cause analysis process to determine the possible cause(s) and identify and recommend actions to prevent a recurrence.
Group HSSE Reporting Requirements define BP’s mandatory reporting requirements. Traction is the Group web-based tool for reporting incidents and recording investigations
and is also used to input performance data such as hours worked. The IM Standard requires “The SPA IM shall also ensure that findings are promptly addressed and that resolutions covering both the technical and human factors leading to the incident are documented in Traction.”
.7 Crisis Management and Emergency Response
The IM Standard requires that all business segments and BP Operations shall develop and maintain Crisis Management and Emergency Response (CM&ER) plans, based on identified hazards and risks including those developed from the MAR process.
These plans shall be consistent with the Group Crisis Management Framework. The Group Crisis Management Framework sets out a management system for CM&ER in BP, and the recommended good practice for each stage in the process. Across BP, the response priorities should always be:
• First – People
• Second – Environment • Third – Property • Fourth – Business
The fundamental philosophy of over-reaction, assessment, response and subsequent de-escalation should be adopted.
.8 Regulatory and Compliance
The Global HSSE Compliance Framework details the minimum requirements for HSSE compliance management processes used by BP businesses. It reflects the underlying premise that businesses must prioritize their HSSE compliance management activities based on risk. When effectively implemented, resourced and supported by leadership, HSSE compliance programmes that conform to this framework will enable projects to reduce their business risks associated with HSSE non-compliance and support a culture of integrity. (BP’s 5-Step Compliance Process is illustrated in figure 3.2.)
Implementation of this framework is mandatory for all BP businesses where BP is the operator. In all other cases, we should strive to influence our partners to adopt similar processes and procedures.
figure 3.2 bp’s 5-step compliance process
.9 Document Management
HSSE documents are developed and controlled in accordance with the project document management system. It is critical that all relevant HSSE documents are transferred to operations personnel prior to start-up.
.10 Action Tracking
HSSE is integrated into the overall project action tracking system. Traction should be used to document and ‘track to closure’ all actions resulting from HSSE incidents and

incident investigations. In addition, actions may result from discipline related activities (e.g. Health Risk Assessments, HAZOPS, ESIAs, Site Security Risk Assessments, etc.). Although a master HSSE action tracking system may not be practical, all action items should be documented with names of responsible managers, due dates and ‘track to closure’ data. HSSE actions should be rigorously reviewed by management on a regular basis to ensure that actions are closed on-time. .11 Management of Change (MoC)
The IM Standard requires that all BP Operations shall maintain a Management of Change (MoC) system to ensure continued integrity and safe operation in the event of temporary or permanent changes to technology, facilities, equipment, operations or organization. For Major Projects that are executed in or on behalf of the SPU/BU, there is a preference to use the SPU/BU MoC system in order to provide consistency and continuity at handover of the project to operations. The use of one MoC system will also provide the SPU/BU with the ability to easily review the project’s design and execution and understand where exceptions to site technical practices or waivers to industry standards were approved by project management.
.12 Knowledge Management
Well managed knowledge is essential to build on the BP way of doing HSSE in projects as described in these guidelines. The key processes, technology applications and supporting roles outlined in the MPcp Knowledge Management Guidelines should be implemented to ensure that we apply our best HSSE knowledge to our projects every time.
.1 Monitoring, Assurance and Verification
Key features of HSSE monitoring, assurance and verification are:
• Management’s accountability for establishing effective documented processes to deliver HSSE performance.
• Effective monitoring, review and verification processes involving audits, peer reviews, internal assessments and external assessments.
• Plans to improve HSSE performance and address areas requiring attention.
Project HSSE Reviews (PHSSERs) are an essential element of a project’s assurance strategy and are specifically mandated by the Integrity Management Group Standard. ETP GP 48-01 Guidance on Practice for HSSE Review of Projects defines the process and detailed procedures for the conduct of PHSSERs. The overall objective of the PHSSER process is to assure the client Business Unit that HSSE-sensitive areas have been identified and that the appropriate project, engineering and operational systems have been or will be developed to control the identified risks. Assurance is provided by reviewing proposals at various key stages in their development. (See figure 3.3). PHSSERs heighten the awareness of HSSE risks and help make HSSE an integral part of the gated decision and approval process for projects within CVP. PHSSER reports are an important element of the decision support packages required at each CVP stage gate.
Additional requirements of GP 48-01 include:
• Variances from this GP are expected to be rare and must be reviewed and approved by the SPU Engineering Authority, who will consult with the HOD Engineering on significant variances.
• Projects shall document completion of all HSSE recommendations (PHSSER, HAZOP, etc).
• Formal acceptance of the Pre-Start-up HSSE Review recommendations by the host site Business Unit Leader or his nominee and completion of priority actions should be a condition of start-up.

5 STAR
Safety PROGRAM
The Five Star Safety Program recognises and rewards positive safety behaviours and deters negative safety behaviours by encouraging all site personnel to contribute to site safety and by providing a simple incentive scheme.
How it works
After receiving the Site HSE Induction, each employee receives the red ‘Five Star’ stickers that are placed fully visible on the right side of the hard hat.
Employees will be rewarded a silver star for exceptional HSE actions or leadership.
Every third star earned will be a gold star.
Violation of one of the Golden Rules results in removal of a red star.
The 5 Star Safety Program is an example of a safety Recognition & Reward program. See the Five Star Program on the Tools and Example CD for additional details.

4.1 Introduction
The Group Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE) policy underpins and establishes the basis for how BP manages health matters globally. It determines that our fundamental mission is to provide a safe, secure and healthy workforce and working environment by protecting ourselves, our assets, the local community and our operations, while ensuring ‘No Harm to People’.
One of the key expectations of BP’s getting HSE right (gHSEr) and getting Health right
(GHR) is that health will be taken into consideration during the proposal, planning and
implementation stages of all new capital projects. The aim of this section is to provide guidance to project management, project HSSE professionals and contractor groups, to ensure that effective measures are taken at all CVP stages to ensure a healthy workforce and working environment.
The benefits of a common process for health are:
• Avoidance, control and mitigation of health risks through early identification and planning
• Full alignment with business objectives and deliverables • Simplicity and Efficiency
o The use of common language across projects
o Reduced workload - no need to reinvent health management for each project
o Consistent health management throughout the life of the project • Better connectivity and access to timely technical support from the function • One ‘BP way’ of delivering Health
4.2 Scope
The following guidelines apply to all E&P Major Projects. For projects in existing assets (e.g. North Sea, GoM and Colombia), much of the health infrastructure and processes may already be in place and some actions may not be relevant. However, for projects in new areas or where assets do not currently exist, the actions may be relevant and required.
As the project moves forward, the health priorities will change. This should not prevent health analysis from taking place early, where possible at the onset of the Appraise stage. The health risks and required health protection programmes will also
MPcp HSSE Guidelines ©2007 BP International Limited
48 ©2007 BP International Limited MPcp HSSE Guidelines 49
inevitably change; indeed early planning will reveal important areas for reconsideration. Therefore, project managers are strongly advised to consider health matters as early as possible in the process.
4. Health Resources
A review of pre-Appraise health related activities should be conducted to confirm what health risks were identified and the health policies, procedures and organization implemented to manage them. Prior to the Access stage, a review of the location and the environment should have been conducted to identify the health risks and ensure that health policies and procedures were implemented to protect staff. At the Access stage, competent health resources should have been assigned to support the team.
For projects where medium or high health risks are present, a full time Health Manager should be appointed at the start of the Appraise stage. A project health team should be put in place whose composition, size and organizational structure meets the assessed health and industrial hygiene risks in the selected project option. Industrial hygiene and health support staff needs should be assessed, and resources should be defined and regularly reviewed as the project progresses.
figure 4.1 occupational health Occupational Health Disease/Illness Health surveillance Occupational Medicine Industrial Hygiene Occupational Health & Well Being Effective control Exposure Work Activities
4.4 Health Impact Assessment (HIA) – Outside the Boundary Fence
A Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a combination of procedures, methods and tools by which a project may be judged as to its potential effects on the health of a population, and the distribution of those effects within the population. The HIA should be integrated with the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), and the communities’ opinions and needs affected by the project should form an integral part of the assessment. Based on the HIA, health policy and procedures are developed and implemented that mitigate the potential negative health impacts.
4.5 Workplace Health Risk Assessment (HRA)
Health Risk Assessment (HRA), in an occupational context, considers all the ways in which the work environment and the actual tasks to be done potentially impact on workers’ health. HRA may need to cover individual cases or may be generic for a group of people doing the same tasks in the same place. HRA should continue for the life of the project and must be appropriate for the degree and complexity of the activities being undertaken.
4.6 Health Management Plan
BP’s commitment to ‘No Harm to People’ clearly positions health and well-being as integral to the business process. Everyone has a responsibility and a role in ensuring that BP’s activities, products and emissions do not adversely affect the health and well being of employees, contractors, customers or the public.
Managers have the overall accountability for health, and therefore should establish suitable health programmes. This commitment and responsibility is about much more than maintaining basic health and safety standards or achieving the neutral point that ‘No Harm’ represents. It is about recognizing that health includes mental, physical, social and environmental well-being, and encompasses a spectrum from illness to optimum wellness. Truly effective health management includes creating an environment that provides the opportunities for individuals to optimize their own health and well-being, thereby improving both personal and business performance and fully realizing their potential.
figure 4.2 employees’ health and performance optimized 4.7 Crisis Management and Emergency Response
Clearly defined and well thought-out plans for medical and industrial hygiene are essential components of the project’s Crisis Management and Emergency Response (CM&ER) plan. The plan should describe the response to various medical emergencies utilizing available resources. Epidemiological information and accident and illness data can provide this.
Multiple casualty scenarios, unforeseen events, spillages and emissions, and emerging illnesses such as food poisoning and Avian Influenza, should also be considered. An assessment of local health and industrial hygiene facilities and services will be needed and should include consideration of their ability to manage the full range of serious medical conditions, especially in emergency situations. If necessary, arrangements should be made for access to international medical evacuation, repatriation and

treatment services. Access to industrial hygiene services outside the local area may also be necessary.
Drills and exercises should be conducted that test the medical emergency response at all levels (first aid to fatality) and Industrial Hygiene procedures.
4.8 Contracts and Procurement Strategy
Health requirements should be incorporated into the contractor pre-qualification and selection process and the health performance of contractors should be tracked during Execute stage activities. Contractors play a major role in projects, and due diligence background checks should be performed for potential contractors. Health expectations should be included in the Invitation to Tender and processes should be implemented to ensure contractor groups understand the BP Health requirements and that they have suitable programmes, resources and competencies to meet them.
4.9 Human Factors (HF) and Ergonomics
Human Factors (HF) and Ergonomics considerations should be incorporated into the design, commissioning, and operation of equipment and facilities. Facilities that eliminate or minimize human failure should also be designed to mitigate the consequences of any human failures that do occur. Incorporation of human factors and ergonomics considerations into design is an iterative process. It requires good management and end user participation, the application of human factors and ergonomic design standards, and lessons learned from previous projects.
