IOGP Life Saving Rules
Execution of the CIG 2020 TAR will be guided by the International Association of Oil and Gas
Producers (IOGP) Life Saving Rules. The goal is simply No Accidents, No harm to people and
no damage to the environment. IOGP Life Saving Rules checks will be conducted in
alignment with scope of work.
The nine rules apply and are not new rules – they cover everyone.
Consequence Management for IOGP LSR Violation.
For all EH&S investigations, if it is suspected that one of the nine IOGP LSR has been broken
an investigation is initiated.
Stop Work
The purpose of ‘Stop Work’ is to grant all personnel the ability to Stop Work, without fear of
reprisal, if they believe imminent risk or danger exists or is perceived to exist.
Personnel shall stop work or decline to perform an assigned task when an imminent risk or
danger exists or is perceived to exist. Imminent risk or danger means any condition, activity or
practice in the workplace that could reasonably be expected to cause (1) Death or serious
physical harm; or (2) Significant environmental harm to land, air, mineral deposits, marine,
coastal or human environment.
The Contractor Supervisors are responsible for ensuring the work is stopped in an orderly and
safe manner by all affected individuals. Individuals who receive a notification to stop work must
comply with that direction immediately.
Supervision shall be notified of the stop work issue.
Content property of CIG and Air Products. Paper copies are uncontrolled. This copy was valid at the time it was
printed.
For an up-to-date copy, please contact the Air Products EH&S Manager
Page 17 of 49
No work will resume until all stop work issues and concerns have been adequately addressed
and the Site Authority/ Lead determines work may be resumed.
If the Stop Work intervention issue cannot be resolved immediately, work shall be suspended
until proper resolution is achieved. When opinions differ regarding the validity of the work
intervention issue or adequacy of the resolution actions, the Site Lead shall make the final
determination. Details regarding the differences of opinion and resolution action should be
included in a safety observation card/ APT.
Under no circumstances should retribution be directed at any person(s) who exercise their Stop
Work authority.
Note: You immediately stop work if you believe it is unsafe. Personal intervention – you must
speak up if you spot something that is unsafe. When an incidental safety concern is identified
(such as missing PPE), STOP THE TASK and resolve the concern immediately. STOP THE JOB.
Report it – you immediately bring it to the attention of your management and the EH&S
department.
Just and Fair Culture
The Just and Fair Culture standard shall support all EH&S investigations and shall be applied
to the following:

Following investigation into an incident, event or exceptional behaviour.

For incidents, once a thorough investigation has identified the immediate and underlying
causes.

To violations of the IOGP Life Saving Rules.
A Just and Fair Culture:

Promotes an understanding in why people do the things they do.

Recognises people doing a good job and promotes continued good work practices.

Recognises that people can develop unhealthy patterns of behaviour.

Recognises people do make mistakes.

Is based on the premise that reckless behaviours are never tolerated.
EH&S Leadership
Leaders shape an organization’s EH&S culture and ultimately its EH&S performance. Leaders
will ensure that mechanisms are in place to manage EH&S in their respective Business Units.
When we manage, we focus on leadership, obligation to support, plan and resource, personal
accountabilities and responsibilities of leaders.


10.1.4 Scaffolding

All scaffolding operations will be carried out under the supervision of a competent
scaffolding supervisor who has sufficient knowledge and experience to carry out the task
and must initially have a APCI “scaffold inspection checklist”.

All personnel working outside of a Safe Working Platform attached to a suitable anchorage
at all times where there is any risk of an injury due to a fall.

Where no suitable anchorage point is provided by the scaffold structure additional
measures must be taken before work starts. For example, the use of retrievable inertia
blocks or lifelines should be used to provide suitable safe anchorage in exposed areas.

Modifications must always be strictly supervised. Major modifications where the structure
and stability of the scaffold will be affected must always be reviewed by Senior Scaffolding
Supervision or the Scaffolding Coordinator, who will decide if a scaffold design is required
for the job.

Scaffolds must be checked after periods of severe weather that may have affected their
safe use.

Where scaffold boards or components have become slippery through the spillage of oils,
chemicals or any other substances the scaffold must be Red Tagged DO NOT USE until the


The scaffolder remains tied-off at all times when outside of a safe working platform, and
he is hooked onto the most suitable anchor point available.

Ladders, or alternative safe means of access, are preferred to the climbing of the scaffold.
Where there is no other option than to climb the scaffold it is done from the inside, not
the outside (scaffolding erection only).

So far as is reasonable practicable the top handrail is erected as early as possible and
dismantled as late as possible during operations.

Because it is common for scaffolds to be modified and adjusted during the scaffolds
working life it is never safe to assume that a scaffold can automatically be dismantled in
the reverse order of the erection process.

Mesh netting (or equivalent) is required around scaffold perimeter from platform level to
mid rails to help prevent falling objects. In accordance with the dropped objects standard,
mats or other means of preventing objects from falling through any opening in scaffold
flooring should be used
10.1.5 Working at Heights
Working at Height means working in any location where a fall could cause injury, permanent
disability or death, unless suitable precautions are in place. Working at Height is governed by
the mandatory control measures..
Overriding Principles

The sequence of activities involved in the management of Working at Height is as follows:

Establishing Key Requirements: Establish practices and procedures for Working at Height,
establish competency and fitness requirements and assurance frameworks for Working at
Height

Planning and Risk Management: Avoid Working at Height where reasonably practicable;
where it cannot be avoided, use work equipment or other measures to prevent falls

Working at Height: Where the risk of a fall cannot be eliminated, use work equipment or
other measures to minimise the distance and consequences of a fall should one occur.

Roles and responsibilities shall be identified. Personnel shall be trained and certified to
carry out the work. Personnel shall also be trained in the operation of the tools, safety
equipment and safety system they are working with.

Personnel shall be competent in the selection, examination and use of the equipment.

All Working at Height shall take account of weather conditions that could endanger Health
and Safety.

Working at Height must be properly planned and supervised, and the arrangements
communicated clearly to all involved in or affected by the work.

For Working at Height a person-in-charge shall be nominated who is responsible for
coordinating the operation and ensuring that the people are competent, the equipment is
fit for purpose and procedures are being followed.

Appropriate management processes shall be developed and used to identify, manage and
communicate the hazards of each Working at Height activity, including:
Risk Assessments.
Procedures.
Permit to Work.
Rescue Plans.
Toolbox Talks.

A personal fall prevention device should stop somebody getting into a position from
where they could fall (e.g. reaching an unguarded edge). A fall arrest system is designed
to minimise the possible length of fall (e.g. not more than one metre) and the potential for
injury due to the deceleration forces on the body.

The fall arrest system shall be used when working on heights 4 feet and above and
attached to a permanent structure and its integrity checked. The anchorage shall be strong
enough to support the strain of a falling person.

Work on or near a fragile surface shall not be undertaken unless suitable equipment is
used to minimise the risk of falling through it, and – if any fall risk remains – to minimise
the distance and effect of a fall.

Working at Height shall be planned to avoid working above people.

All tools and equipment shall be secured to reduce the risk of dropped objects.

Access to the work areas where there is a risk of falling from height, or being struck by a
dropped object, shall be appropriately controlled via security measures and/or barriers.
Warning signs shall be visible at all access routes.

The worksite shall be maintained as clear as practicable throughout all stages of the
Working at Height operation. This will include where practicable the removal of all
obstacles and/or personnel that could interfere with the operation.

Potential obstruction of line of sight fire and gas detectors shall be considered.

Secure lines of communications shall be established prior to the start of work.

Emergency rescue plans shall be in place and tested prior to the start of work. Adequate
rescue and personal protective equipment must be on site to enable timely retrieval of the
suspended person.

Ladders shall only be used for Working at Height access if a risk assessment has
demonstrated that the deployment of more suitable work equipment is not justified by
the low risk or the short duration of use or if existing features prevent alternative means
of access.

Always employ two lines of safety protection, e.g. while somebody is working within two
metres of an unguarded edge and could fall to cause an injury, both fall arrest and fall
restraint devices must be used.
