Introduction
The goals of the BP Group for Health, Safety and the
Environment are simply stated - no accidents, no harm
to people, and no damage to the environment. This new
version of the BP Team Alaska Safety Handbook (ASH) is a
vital tool for every person who works in our Alaska operations
to allow us to achieve these health, safety and environmental
(HSE) goals.
The 2014 BP ASH is a distillation of the key standards and
procedures used at BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) that
are essential to safely perform work. It explains your safety
responsibilities and the responsibilities of your co-workers, as
well as the responsibilities and obligations of your supervisors.
This is the latest edition of the Alaska Safety Handbook,
which has been used across BPs North Slope operations
since 1996. The notable changes in the 2014 BP ASH are
driven by the need to better identify risks and significantly
reduce those risks in our operations.
My goal and the goal of the BP Alaska Leadership Team
is to provide each of you with a safe workplace. Excellent
safety performance is an essential component of building
and maintaining a sustainable business and we should be
proud of the significant progress since the last ASH update
to remove risk from our business. Our number one priority is
to conduct each and every operational activity in a safe and
reliable manner - to deliver on the goal of no accidents, no
harm to people and no damage to the environment.
The 2014 BP ASH is a key reference tool that will help ensure
a safe workplace. To keep yourself and your co-workers
safe, please ensure that your behaviors and work habits
incorporate the referenced safety standards and procedures,
and always remember that every person has the obligation to
Stop the Job if something doesnt look or seem right.
Please contact your supervisor or your BPXA Safety Advisor
if you have any questions regarding this handbook or how
the standards and procedures contained within will be
implemented in your area.

Incident Investigations
All incidents will be reported, investigated, analyzed and
lessons learned from investigations communicated to
prevent reoccurrence of similar incidents.
An incident is defined as any unplanned event or occurrence
that affects or has the potential to affect the health, safety, or
security of people, assets, or the environment.
A Near Miss incident is an undesired event that under slightly
different circumstances could have resulted in harm to

Asbestos
Asbestos is present in North Slope facilities. Overexposure
to asbestos causes lung cancer and lung disease. Materials
that are suspected to contain asbestos must be tested
before these materials are disturbed.
Materials that may contain asbestos include - pipe insulation;
insulation sealants and mastics; gaskets; brake pads; tank
insulation; pyrocrete and other fireproofing; flow line anchor
blocks; floor tiles and mastics; drywall joint compound;
roofing materials; and valve packing.
Only trained workers may sample materials and remove
asbestos-containing materials.

ALL-HSE-DOC-00397-2
Benzene
Benzene is present in crude oil and other production fluids.
It can be present in higher concentrations in certain process
streams, such as gas dehydration and NGL systems.
Long term overexposure to benzene can cause cancer.
Air purifying respirators with organic vapor cartridges should
be worn whenever production processes are opened, unless
direct reading instruments show levels of benzene below 0.3
parts per million (ppm). Supplied air respirators are required
if benzene is present above 15 ppm.

Noise
Noise is the most common health hazard on the North Slope.
Hearing protection is required in most production areas.
Single hearing protection is required in areas where noise
levels exceed 82 dB(A). Properly fitted plugs provide the best
protection. Double hearing protection (muffs and plugs) is
required in areas of 100 dB(A) or more. Time spent in these
areas should be limited. Production facilities are posted with
the level of hearing protection required. It is recommended
that employees wear hearing protection at all times when
working in production/process areas since exposure to noise
levels greater than 82 dB(A) may be encountered at any time
throughout a facility.
Hearing Conservation Procedure, UPS-US-AK-ALL-ALL
HSE-DOC-00769-2
Lead
Lead can be present in painted surfaces on North Slope
facilities. Coatings are to be tested for lead before grinding,
sanding, welding, or other work that can create airborne
lead. Specific work practices are to be followed if coatings
containing lead will be removed.
Contact Industrial Hygienist for the current Lead Negative
Exposure Assessment for work methods that do not create
lead exposures above regulatory limits.
Lead Management Program, UPS-US-AK-ALL-ALL-HSE
DOC-01796-2
26
Respiratory Protection
Respirators may be required for some tasks. The L1RA
or similar risk assessment process will be used to identify
hazards requiring respiratory protection. The Industrial
Hygienist or area Safety Advisor will be consulted for
assistance in selecting the appropriate level of respiratory
protection for the hazards identified. Persons wearing
respirators must be medically approved, fit tested, and
trained.
Chemical cartridges for air purifying respirators should be
changed at the end of the task or at the end of one 12-hour
shift, whichever comes first. If the worker detects an odor
indicating breakthrough, the cartridge should be changed
out immediately.
Respiratory Protection Program, UPS-US-AK-ALL-ALLHSE-DOC-00780-2
Radioactive Sources
Devices containing fixed radioactive sources are present in
some facilities for level detection and flow measurement.
These sources are sealed and do not present a radiation
exposure hazard under normal operation. Testing and
maintenance of these devices should only be performed by
trained, qualified workers. Contact the BP Radiation Safety
Officer or Industrial Hygienist for more information. Portable
radioactive sources are used to inspect piping and vessels
for corrosion. Specially trained contractors perform this

Hypothermia
Hypothermia is the lowering of the body core temperature to
the point where it is no longer functioning properly. Symptoms
include intense shivering, poor coordination, stumbling,
loss of memory, thickness of speech and drowsiness.
Hypothermia is insidious, and left untreated, may result in
collapse and death.
Dehydration, or the loss of body fluids, occurs gradually in
the cold environment and may increase the susceptibility of
workers to cold injury due to a significant change in blood
flow to the extremities. Warm, sweet drinks and soups should
be taken to the work site to provide caloric intake and fluid
volume. Taking certain medication or drugs such as nicotine,
or caffeine because of their diuretic circulatory effects can
increase susceptibility to cold. Workers with a cold, or flu,
or certain diseases, such as diabetes, heart, vascular, and
thyroid problems may be more susceptible to the winter
elements. Becoming exhausted or immobilized, especially
due to injury can speed up the effects of cold weather.
It is important to note that most hypothermia cases are
reported during cool weather.
Treatment
Prevent further heat loss, contact emergency services, and
transport as soon as possible as directed to a medical facility.
Frostbite
Frostbite is the freezing of body tissue. It may range from
minor injury (frost nip) to complete freezing of an extremity.
Untreated frostbitten areas will first become reddened, and
then become gray or white, particularly on exposed ear lobes,
cheeks, or nose. Left untreated, the skin becomes numb and
dead white. Watch co-workers for signs of frostbite.
Treatment
Transport as soon as possible to a medical facility.

Fire Protection
Response Procedures
In case of fire, the following procedure should be used:
1. Summon help by whatever means available.
2. Do not fight fires beyond the initial stage unless you
are trained and equipped to do so as a part of a fire
department/brigade or emergency response team. Do
not fight a fire before alerting someone else.
3. Fire fighting should be limited to trained personnel and
must be conducted within the limits of the individuals
training and experience.
Portable extinguishers carry markings indicating classes of
fires on which they should be used. Color-coding is part of
the identification system. The triangle (Class A) is green, the
square (Class B) is red, the circle (Class C) is blue, the five
pointed star (Class D) is yellow and the octagon (Class K)
is black.

Iron Sulfide
Iron sulfide may be present in process equipment that is in
H2S service. Iron sulfide may ignite spontaneously in the
presence of air when dry. In addition to the fire hazard, toxic
sulfur dioxide gas is released as a byproduct of iron sulfide
combustion.
1. Prior to opening process equipment that potentially
contains iron sulfides, every effort shall be made to
clean the equipment by water washing or with steam.
2. Keep equipment and vessel internals wetted until
laboratory analysis determines the sludge or scale is
non-pyrophoric.
3. All iron sulfides removed from equipment should be
immediately discarded into metal containers with tight
fitting lids and wetted thoroughly. It should then be
labeled and disposed of according to BPXA Policy.
4. If iron sulfides do ignite, apply water to extinguish the fire.
SCBA must be worn while extinguishing iron sulfide fires.

PERMITTING
61
Permit to Work
OMS Element 4.5.1 The permit to work process is fundamental
to the CoW process. Its purpose is to standardize a formal,
efficient and effective CoW communication system. The
permit to work process enables employees assigned to
CoW roles to describe, document and approve the tasks,
hazards, risks and controls for any specifically stated task,
thus providing a safe system of work within their areas
of accountability and responsibility. The CoW process
documents the issuance and acceptance of the permit to
work between the Site Authority (SA), AA, IA and PA prior
to, during and on completion of a task. The documentation is
formalized through a CoW work pack, which includes permit
to work forms, risk assessments, CoW planning documents,
supplementary certificates, procedures and diagrams
required to safely execute the task.
A permit must be obtained before conducting work that
involves Hot Work (open flame & spark potential), Confined
Space Entry (CSE); Cold Work (CW/Unit Work) Cold Work
Breaking Containment (CWBC/Breaking Containment)
Ground Disturbance (supplementary certificate); Energized
Electrical Work (supplementary certificate); and any other
potentially hazardous tasks such as lifting operations.
Permits and supplementary certificates can be completed
using a paper process or through an approved electronic
e-CoW tool that the permits are than printed from.

Pigging Operations
A successful pigging program helps BPXA maintain a
continuous operation with a maximum operating efficiency
of pipelines.
Pigging operations have the potential to expose workers
to fire/explosion and benzene hazards. To reduce this
potential the following precautionary steps are to be taken
and included in pigging procedures. Each location / pigging
operation has its own documented procedure. These include
but are not limited to the:
Use of nitrogen to purge the receiver multiple times at an
adequate pressure;
Switching the receiver module ventilation system to
manual and increase the number of air changes per hour
to the maximum setting;
Opening man doors and overhead doors, etc;
Use of a local exhaust system (coppus and flex duct)
on the receiver prior to opening when fittings for this are
present.
Taking periodic benzene, O2 and LEL measurements
while launching and receiving pigs, consistent with the
Breaking Containment Requirements.
Wearing of air purifying respirators with organic vapor
cartridges during the initial measurement of benzene, and
requiring the continual use if 0.3 ppm benzene is present
during any phase of pigging work, including pig cleaning.
Cartridges should be replaced each day.
Disposing of pigging solids/paraffin, pigging fluids, hydrotest fluids and solid oily waste shall be done in accordance
with The Alaska Waste Disposal and Reuse Guide or
Waste Management - pigging procedure.
Note: Pigging wastes from DOT common-carrier pipelines

Snow Removal
Snow removal procedures shall be followed to safely
remove snow in areas where hazardous obstructions are
documented in the Equipment Operating Guide (EOG)
or result from completion of a Level 1 Risk Assessment
(L1RA). A Unit Work Permit may be required as a result
of this hazard identification process. Other areas that may
require a Unit Work Permit are defined as first time snow
removal in areas which are not normally kept open for daily
traffic and which are not obviously clear of above ground
piping, cables, or other hazardous obstructions. Routine
snow removal operations in common traffic areas, such as
roadways, parking lots, and around facilities will not require
a Unit Work Permit.
Snow removal operations at process facilities and the
Central Power Station requires a documented annual review
of the most recent EOG site map and aerial photo with each
equipment operator by the Issuing Authority prior to winter
snow removal activities.
Vehicles and equipment involved in snow removal within
10 feet of a classified area shall require notification and
approval of the affected Issuing Authority.
No vehicle will pass another vehicle or piece of heavy
equipment where a snow plume created by the vehicle in
front results in limited or poor visibility. Maintain sufficient
distance, at least 200 feet, behind the operations so that you
can see clearly. Do not pass until the vehicle/operation in
front stops or pulls over to the side allowing visibility such
that you can see clearly to pass.
