Preamble
Indian petroleum industry is the energy lifeline of the nation and its continuous performance is
essential for sovereignty and prosperity of the country. As the industry essentially deals with inherently
inflammable substances throughout its value chain upstream, midstream and downstream Safety is
of paramount importance to this industry as only safe performance at all times can ensure optimum
ROI of these national assets and resources including sustainability.
While statutory organizations were in place all along to oversee safety aspects of Indian petroleum
industry, Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) was set up in 1986 Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Gas, Government of India as a knowledge centre for formulation of constantly updated world-scale
standards for design, layout and operation of various equipment, facility and activities involved in this
industry. Moreover, OISD was also given responsibility of monitoring implementation status of these
standards through safety audits.
In more than 25 years of its existence, OISD has developed a rigorous, multi-layer, iterative and
participative process of development of standards starting with research by in-house experts and
iterating through seeking & validating inputs from all stake-holders operators, designers, national
level knowledge authorities and public at large with a feedback loop of constant updation based on
ground level experience obtained through audits, incident analysis and environment scanning.
The participative process followed in standard formulation has resulted in excellent level of compliance
by the industry culminating in a safer environment in the industry. OISD except in the Upstream
Petroleum Sector is still a regulatory (and not a statutory) body but that has not affected
implementation of the OISD standards. It also goes to prove the old adage that self-regulation is the
best regulation. The quality and relevance of OISD standards had been further endorsed by their
adoption in various statutory rules of the land.
Petroleum industry in India is significantly globalized at present in terms of technology content requiring
its operation to keep pace with the relevant world scale standards & practices. This matches the OISD
philosophy of continuous improvement keeping pace with the global developments in its target
environment. To this end, OISD keeps track of changes through participation as member in large
number of International and national level Knowledge Organizations both in the field of standard
development and implementation & monitoring in addition to updation of internal knowledge base
through continuous research and application surveillance, thereby ensuring that this OISD Standard,
along with all other extant ones, remains relevant, updated and effective on a real time basis in the
applicable areas.
Together we strive to achieve NIL incidents in the entire Hydrocarbon Value Chain. This, besides other
issues, calls for total engagement from all levels of the stake holder organizations, which we, at OISD,
fervently look forward to.
Jai Hind!!!

FOREWORD
Hydrocarbon processing and handling entails some risks arising out of potential
hazards like fires, explosions, injuries/burns to the personnel etc. Most of such hazards are
taken care, to a large extent, by better understanding, safer designs of the plants and other
facilities and following safe operating practices. Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD),
constituted by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986, have been bringing out
Standards and Guidelines on various aspects of designing and operation of plants and
facilities to improve safety standards in the oil industry.
In the changed scenario of the economy, the oil industry too is becoming highly
competitive and upgradation of technology is taking place around the world to achieve
excellence. The successful application of a new technology depends greatly upon its
successful adaptability. Such adaptability brings the "personnel". playing pivotal role in
implementation of the technology, in the forefront. It is incontrovertible that personnel are
most important resource of organisation and that maintaining their health is vital for
productivity and effectiveness. As such, their health should be strongly emphasised in the
organisation's strategic plan. Promotion of health of employees in the widest sense, should,
therefore, be a high priority, both a goal and a challenge for the organisation.
With a view to provide a structured programme to look after and promote the health of
the vital "Human Resource" in the oil and gas industry, the present document "Guidelines for
Occupational Health Monitoring in Oil & Gas Industry" has been prepared by the Functional
Committee on Occupational Health Monitoring. It is hoped that these guidelines will help in
establishing and practising an appropriate Occupational Health Monitoring programme for the
employees of their industry.
This document will be reviewed periodically for improvements based on the new
experiences and better understanding. Suggestions from industry members may be
addressed to :

INTRODUCTION
Technological advances while making the oil industry competitive, have also multiplied the
hazards to the operating personnel in the form of complex processes and application of
various hazardous chemicals. The enlightened management should consider that their duty is
to preserve and promote the health of their employees and give them a good deal which in
turn fosters better output and happiness in industry. Greater use of the assets of the work
place - stability, long term relationships of trust and peer support can be advantageously
utilised to make the work site as an effective and economical setting for various programmes
designed to promote good health. The purpose of Occupational Health programme is to
protect and promote the health of all employed persons. Occupational Health is not limited in
scope only to diagnosis of specific occupational diseases and their treatment. It is necessary
to consider not only the traditional specific hazards to health at work but also control of health
problems of employees which are closely related to work conditions; are aggravated or
influenced by work exposures; are susceptible to control or amelioration by interventions at
work place.
Occupational Health Monitoring will provide a scientific basis for decisions aimed at protection
of human health from any possible adverse consequences of exposure to the hazards in the
occupational environment.
2.0 SCOPE
This document lays down minimum requirements for practising Occupational Health
Monitoring in petroleum refineries, oil/gas exploration / production/processing plants both
offshore and onshore, cross country pipelines, LPG bottling plants and other petroleum
handling facilities/installations. This gives guidelines to establish Occupational Health
Monitoring in the industry to provide specific level of occupational health and hygiene services
to the employees and includes personal health of the individuals, the health of the
occupational group, assessment of the employees' occupational environment and appraisal of
the evidence linking job conditions and exposure to effect on health and course of the
disease.
Due to various reasons, if it is not possible to provide the required facilities of its own for the
Occupational Health Monitoring at the petroleum handling facility / installation, the same
should be arranged through outside agencies.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
"Occupational Health Monitoring" means a service established in the place of employment
for the purposes of ;
(a) protecting the employees against any health hazard which may arise out of their work or
the conditions in which it is carried on;

and its preventive measures.
9.3
9.4
Biological Monitoring
Measurement of the concentration of substances in breathing zone air does not ensure
that the employee is totally protected from adverse health effects resulting from
exposure to chemicals in the workplace.
The actual body burden of the chemical resulting from all routes of exposure is more
directly related to potential adverse health effects. The uptake of the workplace
chemical by the inhalation route, absorption of the chemical through the skin or the
gastrointestinal tract and non occupational exposure to the chemical all influence the
body burden. Interaction of the chemical with other environmental and workplace
chemicals may stimulate or inhibit its metabolism and elimination and thus influence the
toxicity of the chemical in the person exposed.

13.1 AUDIT
An audit may generate qualitative and quantitative information. Quantitative
measurement provides a numerical measure so that improvements in performance may
be measured from year to year. Audits, though generally done by an independent
external agency, may also be conducted in-house by a team which is not involved with
the section being audited.
13.1.1 The Audit Team
The audit team should be led by a occupational health physician and should include
industrial hygienist & other health and safety professionals.
13.1.2 Frequency and Initiation
Each facility should undergo a formal audit at least once in 4 years. Three months
prior to the audit, the auditors should ask for basic information about the facility,
including about the plant layout and process, employees, production facilities, raw
materials, production, health and safety policy and organization, current performance
standards, industrial hygiene and occupational health summary reports for the period
between the last audit and now and any other relevant information.
The

with
the
auditors
and
allocate
a
room
for
the
exclusive
use
of
the auditors when they are on the site.
13.1.3 Audit Visit
The audit should begin with a meeting between the auditors and the facility
management to mutually agree on the scope of the audit and the audit visit agenda.
The meeting should also be used to discuss the current operating condition of the
facility and the information that the auditors already have on hand.
The audit should then continue with interviews with selected facility personnel,
inspection of documents and records and site tours and walk-around-inspections.
Copies of all industrial hygiene and occupational health documents should be made
available to the auditors.
Before the conclusion of the audit visit, the auditors should appraise the facility
management of their preliminary findings.
13.1.4 Findings and recommendations
The findings and recommendations of the auditors should be given to the facility
management in the form of a formal report. The timetable for implementing
recommendations should also be provided.

using a filter set. Personal noise dose meters worn by working personnel are made use
of to get accurate assessment of the total noise dose the wearer has received
throughout his working day. These instruments are easy to use, self contained pocket
size units, battery powered with concealed or visible digital display for readout.
Illumination
Evaluation of lighting effectiveness is not just a question of quantity of light, but also of the
quality of the lighting environment. Portable, contrast, rendered by lighting systems and visual
display battery powered instrument is available for measurement of general luminance, and
luminance battery powered instrument is available for measurement of general luminance,
and luminance contrast., rendered by lighting systems.
There being no single instrument which performs acceptable under all conditions and
requirements met with in practice; different types of instruments and detectors are used
in various applications to obtain the monitoring characteristics required for different
forms of radiation hazards. The radiation detection most widely used in survey
instruments are isolation chambers, Geiger-Mueller counters, proportional counters and
scintillation detectors. To assess the dose received by the individual, either film meters
or Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) or a combination of both are used for personal
monitoring of exposure to external sources of radiation.

No exposure to continuous, intermittent, or impact noise in excess of a peak Cweighted level of 140 dB. If instrumentation is not available to measure a Cweighted peak, an unweighted peak measurement below 140 dB may be used
to imply that the C-weighted peak is below 140 dB.
* Limited by the noise source - not administrative control. It is also recommended that a
dosimeter or integrating sound level meter be used for sounds above 120 decibels.
