Our Safety Beliefs & Guiding Principles
• We are committed to doing whatever is required to have zero
safety incidents, injuries and illnesses. This is our most important
objective!
• Our work is never so urgent or important that we cannot take the
time required, or spend the money required, to do it safely.
• All personnel working at our sites (employees & contractors) are
expected to care enough to take action to keep themselves &
others free from danger or injury (“Brother’s Keeper” concept).
• All personnel have a right and a duty to stop any unsafe activity
that they observe and to report all incidents.
• Line management is accountable for safety performance.
• We shall seek out contractors whose leadership have similar
safety beliefs to our own & who actively promote safety.

On-site Programs and Expectations
On-Site Safety Programs and Expectations
Reporting to the Person “In-Charge”
Reviewing the JSA & Emergency Plan
Participating in “STOP”
Practicing Safety Leadership
Understanding General On-Site Rules
Immediately upon arriving at the site, report to the
ConocoPhillips Supervisor or Representative
If a ConocoPhillips Supervisor is not present,
make contact with the Contractor Representative
who is responsible for directing the work
After reporting to the on-site supervisor,
review the task and site-specific JSA so as
to be aware of potential hazards and the
plans that exist to mitigate hazards
Review the on-site Emergency Plan
requirements and identify all emergency
contacts and resources
JSA’s – Job Safety Analysis
A pre-job safety meeting and JSA will be
conducted prior to beginning daily operations and
also when the job scope or conditions change
Full crew participation is expected
JSA’s must be revised as work conditions or
personnel change during the day
STOP Principles
All personnel on location are expected to
spend time Observing Behaviors
Safe & Unsafe Behaviors are to be noted
If an unsafe behavior is observed, the employee making
the observation has the responsibility to
STOP the Job and Initiate a Discussion
Employees involved are expected to determine what
actions should be taken to ensure a safe outcome
A STOP Card is written up to document Safe and Unsafe
Behaviors. Only anonymous information is reported.
Throughout your entire work-day,
you should STOP and engage your fellow
workers in conversations about Safe and
Unsafe activities that you observe
ConocoPhillips is in the process of implementing STOP,
and expects to have it fully implemented during 2006
Every employee working at a ConocoPhillips
site needs to behave as a “Safety Leader”
A “Safety Leader” is a person who cares
enough to take action to keep themselves
& others free from danger or injury
All individuals on our locations have
the Authority and Responsibility to
correct unsafe acts or conditions
and STOP any unsafe operation
Understanding General On-Site Rules
While on location jewelry shall not be worn
where the potential exists for it to get
caught in machinery or equipment
Jewelry includes rings, earrings, necklaces
and non-medical wristbands
General On-Site Rules
Hair longer than shoulder length must be
tied up and placed under the hardhat
Except in emergencies, employees should
not work more than 18 consecutive hours
Horseplay and practical joking is prohibited
Understanding General On-Site Rules
Guards shall be provided to protect
personnel from hazards such as “point of
operation” hazards and rotating parts
Removal of guards from machinery while
in normal operation is prohibited
Understanding General On-Site Rules
Smoking is allowed only in a
“designated area” on location
Smoking areas should always be upwind
and at least 75 ft from hydrocarbon sources
Keep your entire worksite clean and orderly
Material Handling & Rigging
When guiding overhead suspended loads,
tag-lines and tail ropes must be used
Tag-lines must be of sufficient length to place
workers out of the fall path of suspended loads
Special training and certification is required for
operators of man-lifts, forklifts and cranes
Critical Lifts will be assessed using a
“Critical Lift Worksheet”
Critical Lifts are those exceeding 10,000 pounds
or which cross-over live process equipment
Proper Lifting Practices
Be “warmed” up & ready to lift
Grasp the load firmly
Keep the load close to your body
with chin-in and back straight
Lift with your legs – not your back
Avoid twisting
Obtain help when possible
Tools & Working Around Electricity
Tools
Inspect the condition of all tools before use
The use of defective tools or the “wrong
tool for the job” is prohibited
Observing someone using the “wrong tool
for the job” would merit stopping work
Ladders
Ladders must be adequate for the work being
undertaken and inspected regularly
Both hands shall be kept free for climbing
Only one person is allowed on a ladder
While ladders are in use they must be
“tied-off” and properly anchored
Vehicle Safety “Tools”
Vehicles will carry fire extinguishers with a
minimum 20 lb multi-purpose rating
First aid kits shall be accessible and the
contents selected on a review of the job
site and associated hazards
Tools for “Working at Heights”
When fall hazards cannot be eliminated
by working from ground level or
thru the use of a guardrail system,
a fall arrest system must be used
A full body harness with 100% tie-off
must be used when working above
six (6) feet in unguarded areas
Working Around Electricity
If working around electrical power lines,
a minimum clearance of 10 feet
shall be maintained
All vehicles and equipment in transit
must maintain a 4 foot minimum
clearance from power lines
Power lines without adequate clearances
will have to be de-energized
Utilization of “Hot Sticks” to raise
electrical power lines requires
approval of a COPC Supervisor
Work must then only be done by a
qualified person such as a Company or
Contractor electrician
Static Electricity
Plastic buckets shall not be used for
transporting hydrocarbons
Metal storage tanks shall be grounded
Tank trucks transferring liquids
or solids shall be bonded to the storage
tank before transfer begins
Special On-Site Activities
Confined Space Entry requires that a
permit be written by a ConocoPhillips
Authorized Permit Writer (that is, a
person with special training)
Confined spaces include, but are not
limited to, cellars, pits and tanks
Hot Work Permits are Required When Working:
Within 75 ft of hydrocarbon sources
Within 35 feet of combustible materials
In a Hazardous (Classified) Area
On Cad-welding applications
On equipment that may contain flammable mixtures
or a residue that may release flammable or
combustible vapors or gases
With motor vehicles operating in a tank dike or
within 10 feet of producing wellheads
Situations normally considered “Hot Work”
that do not require a Hot Work Permit
• A Hot Work Permit is not required when using the following
tools, devices and equipment further than 10 feet from a
hydrocarbon source and outside of a hazardous (classified)
area:
– Non-intrinsically safe instruments, meters or tools such as cell
phones, cameras, laptops or pagers
– Specialty equipment such as work-over & drilling rigs, & wire-line units
– Truck transports which are properly bonded and/or grounded
• A Hot Work Permit is not required when using the above listed
equipment inside of 10 feet or in a classified area if a
combustible-gas indicator meter is used to verify that no
flammable gases are present.
Unless required for the work you are doing, please leave cell phones, pagers and
cameras in your vehicle so as to avoid inadvertently violating the 10 foot rule
Lockout / Tagout
• Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) procedures must be
performed by a COPC Authorized (trained) person
prior to servicing equipment that contains any of
the following sources of energy:
– fluids and gases
– hydraulic
– electrical
– mechanical and gravitational
– chemical
– thermal
– pneumatic
“Lone Worker” and “Check-In” Programs
We want to insure that personnel travel safely to
and from ConocoPhillips’ locations each day
These programs are designed to ensure that no
worker becomes stranded on a location, especially in
a situation where they may have been injured
Every worker should understand their employer’s programs
ConocoPhillips requires that all of its contractors have
Lone Worker and Check-In Programs
Incident Reporting and Investigation
Immediately notify your COPC representative of:
- All injuries, illnesses, near misses, hazards, thefts, and vandalism

When investigating an incident, ConocoPhillips’
primary objective is to determine the “root
cause(s)” of the incident so as to be able to take
corrective measures to prevent similar incidents
from occurring in the future.
In order to determine the “root causes” of an incident, the
active participation of all involved parties is required.
