Risk Assessment
Task: - “Installation of Instruments and Instrument Tubing”
The following risk assessment has been completed to ensure adequate controls are in place to eliminate or reduce the risk to as low as is reasonably practicable.
In considering who may be harmed we have included C&P Employees, but for each task, depending on where it takes place, then further consideration should be
given to others who may be affected by our activities e.g. other contractors.
L = Likelihood
C = Consequence
HR = Hazard Rating (with NO controls in place).

individual to a fall to danger then additional controls will
need to be in place. These will involve scaffolding
platforms. MEWP to be supplied and maintained to a
high standard. Trained and certificated C&P operatives
to operate the MEWP.
Where Instruments are at height and close to platform
edges then scaffold extensions should be requested.
The scaffold extensions should be erected by
recognised Scaffolding Company.

Final Risk Rating
The risk rating for the activity of “Instrumentation & Tubing” has a final Risk rating of “10“, if all the controls
are applied at all times. Failure to implement the controls will lead to a higher risk of injury. The level of 10 is
tolerable (yellow section 10-15) but improvements should be made to reduce the overall risk down to
acceptable (Green section 1 - 4). This Risk assessment needs to be reviewed in the next 12 months (see
review date).
Persons and Competency
All the C&P Engineering employees who install piping and containment must have been taken through this
SWP and must sign the register to demonstrate that they understand the controls and how they are to be
applied.

existing lines and all first breaks to be carried out by the client where required.
Permits, Certificates or Registers
A general permit to work is required for all work locations and access onto process plant. Any isolation will
be recorded on this permit. A separate hot work permit is required for battery operated equipment.
Access and Egress
Before accessing any part of a process plant then an authorisation from the client will be required and their
permit to work procedure will be followed. Access and egress will be by recognised walkways, pavements,
road crossings, stairways.
Instrument Installation
1. Report to the permit office before accessing process plant areas. Obtain a site permit to work and
comply with all requirements stated and explained verbally by the issuer. Additional PPE stated as
well as mandatory PPE must be worn. Agree access and egress routes. Agree any isolation required
before commencing work.
2. Where process plant isolations are required, obtain an isolation permit from the site personnel on
completion of the relevant isolation, confirming that the correct isolation has been made.
3. If a local isolation is adequate, obtain permission from site personnel prior to carrying out the
isolation.
4. Follow C&P manual handling guidelines when taking instruments to the work site.
5. Where instruments involve impulse lines / pneumatics / hydraulics, they MUST be isolated prior to
work commencement. Ensure isolation valves at tapping points are closed, isolate impulse lines at
instrument manifold (if differential pressure ensure equalising valve is only opened AFTER closing
high pressure and low pressure isolation valves and prior to opening drain valves/bleed screws. Be

8. If working on high temperature instrumentation, allow cooling if possible and wear protective gloves.
9. Remove the instrument concerned, and if being replaced, install new instrument in its place.
10. Discuss with the permit issuer when the works are complete and following the above procedure in
reverse if reinstating the lines. Ensure any spades or line breaks are reinstated by the client or their
representative, including any isolations made by them.
11. If the installation is new, then install the instrument where identified utilising the supplied brackets

site.
13. If large valves require installation, then ensure qualified personnel are present such as the client’s
mechanical team to assist with lifting the item, and bolting into position.
14. If the installed item requires any instrument tubing, then the following procedures need to be
followed.
Procedure for Tubing Installation.
1. Wear the PPE that is required for the particular process area that you will be working in. N.B. There
is minimum requirement as highlighted in the PPE section above for all areas. Ensure that PPE is in
good condition and affords adequate protection.
2. Report to the permit office before accessing site. Obtain a client permit to work and comply with all
requirements stated and explained verbally by the issuer. Additional PPE stated must be worn.
Agree access and egress routes.
3. Travel to the building/site area by company vehicle if necessary and park appropriately.
4. Where tubing or containment to support tubing is delivered in bundles by lorry, then arrangements
must be made prior for off-loading. A HIAB or Fork Lift Truck may be required to off-load. Ensure
lifting plan and a competent person in charge of lifting operation has organised the lift. Ensure
sufficient space created to off-load in a suitable accessible position as near to the site of work as
possible.
5. Where a HIAB is used then a ‘lifting Plan’ must be created prior to commencement of job.

competent person in charge of Lifting operation.
7. Cut banding strap once the bundles have been positioned on site. Stand clear as sections may
spring open.
8. Two men to carry individual bundles into position. Where 3 metre smaller lengths are being used,
then two men are still required to bundles especially if carrying them up stairways etc. Where tubing
has been purposely cut to size or are of short lengths, then this can be done by one person.
9. If tubing is required to be positioned vertically and are 6 metres in length, then they should be
handled by two persons. Scaffolding should be erected at specific heights to allow easy handling of
the lengths. Where it is too difficult to erect scaffolding then one man should be positioned at height
and the other below to assist with the installation. Where anyone needs to lean over to manipulate
them into position then they must wear a fall arrest harness.
10. The tubing could be temporarily tied in position whilst the permanent brackets to support the tube is
installed. Where no permanent brackets are in situ, then these need to be installed or welded in
place, preferably before the support trays/unistruts are fitted. In some areas where it is difficult to
attach permanent support brackets then pipe clamps can be used to clamp unistruts to fixed hand

railings with client’s permission, ready to support the tubing. The appropriate clamps can then be
fitted to the support work ready for the tubes.
11. Tubing can be fitted from a stepladder providing the top of the ladder has handrails fitted. The step
ladder must be erected on level, stable ground. If at height and close to a platform edge then a fall
arrest harness must be worn. Scaffolding may also be erected on top of the handrail as an
extension.
12. Install appropriate clamps onto the supports and install tubing accordingly.
13. If it requires bending or setting, ensure the bender is in good working order, prior to use.
14. Carry out appropriate flushing or pressure testing of the tubes, if identified within the specification.
15. If tubing is required to tap in points, ensure the isolation process stated above is followed prior to
installation.
16. If a new line has been installed, ensure the correct tap in point is identified prior to installation.
17. If instrument air/nitrogen is required to the item, gain permission from the permit issuer prior to any
supply being turned on.
18. On completion of the job all waste material to be removed from site and re-used or disposed of
