1.0 INTRODUCTION
ZeTo stands for Zero Tolerance, a principle to ensure all activities are carried out in a safe manner and any non-compliance is not tolerated.
ZeTo Rules aim to ensure all high risk activities are carried out safely.
ZeTo Rules must be complied with at all times by all employees and contractors.
ZeTo Rules are intended to supplement safety rules and regulations imposed by PETRONAS, its Operating Units (OPUs) and Holding Company Units (HCUs) and any laws and regulations applicable at the location where the works are being carried out which must also be observed at all times.
ZeTo Rules are introduced to avoid any major accidents which may lead to fatalities and aim to improve the safety performance of the Group.
All PETRONAS employees and contractors’ personnel shall follow ZeTo Rules at all times whenever they are in the company’s premises or when carrying out company business.
For the rule relating to the use of walkie-talkie, mobile phone, seat belts and speed limit, it will be applicable at all times to employees and contractors operating the company’s owned/hired/leased vehicles whether inside or outside the company’s premises. It is also applicable to employees when travelling on company business.
2.0 SCOPE
ZeTo Rules shall apply to all employees and contractors’ personnel working for the PETRONAS Group of Companies.
Contract, Third Party and Direct Hire staff who are working for PETRONAS shall abide by the rules.
All Joint Venture companies shall adopt ZeTo Rules, an appropriate HSE policy and HSE Management System (HSE MS) that is in line with PETRONAS Group HSE policy to reduce the HSE risks associated with their activities, products and services to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable.
Contractor and sub contractor companies as well as their personnel working for PETRONAS shall also abide by the rules.
Contractors shall comply at all times with the requirements set forth by OPUs in its Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSEMS), policies, operating standards, any special instructions, and all requirements stipulated in their contract.

4.0 ZETO RULES
Work with a valid work permit (PTW) required by the job
Verify energy isolation before starting work
Obtain authorisation before overriding or disabling safety critical equipment
Obtain authorisation before entering a confined space
Protect yourself against a fall when working at height
Use the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling hazardous chemicals
Obtain authorisation before excavation or entering a trench
Do not position yourself under a suspended load
Do not smoke outside designated areas or bring potential ignition sources into process areas without authorisation
Do not use your mobile phone/walkie-talkie while driving, follow the speed limit and use your seat belt
4.1 Permit to Work
Rule : Work with a valid work permit (PTW) required by the job
A valid work permit is a work permit which is approved and valid for the specified period. A PTW is required for all non routine or maintenance jobs.
A PTW needs to be signed by the Receiving Authority Representatives (RAR), Approving Authority Representatives (AAR) at site, Receiving Authority (RA) and Approving Authority (AA).
The sample of a PTW is as follows:
Reference: PTS 60.2001 Permit to Work (PTW) System. This document is available at GHSED Online (http://pww.ghsed.petronas.com.my).
4.2 Energy Isolation
Rule : Verify energy isolation before starting work
Verification of energy isolation should be done by the workers doing the work.
Types of energy that needs to be isolated includes mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, thermal, chemical, pneumatic, ionising and radiation.
Verification of energy isolation is done by locking, tagging and testing the system for zero energy.
Sample of tags are as follows:
Reference: PTS 60.2117 Energy Isolation Standard. This document is available at GHSED Online (http://pww.ghsed.petronas.com.my).
4.3 Bypassing of Safety Critical Equipment
Rule : Obtain authorisation before overriding or disabling safety critical equipment A safety critical equipment includes any device that prevents incidents and ensures
effective control of the incident for the systems. Examples include safety interlock protective system (SIPS), pressure relieving devices, vacuum relieving devices,
detectors, alarms, emergency release systems, remote actuated emergency isolation valves, critical electrical equipment including uninterruptible power supply (UPS), turbine over speed trips, fire protection equipment and critical security devices.
Overriding means a function where an automated system is placed under manual control. Disabling means stopping the function of the system.
To obtain authorisation, you need to get the Safety System Bypass/Override (SSBO) certificate approved. This certificate needs to be endorsed and signed by the Receiving Authority (RA) and Approving Authority (AA).
The sample of an SSBO certificate is as follows:
Reference: PTS 60.2212 Bypassing of Safety Critical Equipment. This document is available at GHSED Online (http://pww.ghsed.petronas.com.my).
4.4 Confined Space
Rule : Obtain authorisation before entering a confined space
Confined space is a space that is large enough for personnel to enter, has limited or restricted means of entry and is not designed for normal or continuous occupancy. To obtain authorisation, you need to get the confined space entry certificate and checklist approved.
