Objective
of
SSHE Handbook

This SSHE Handbook has been developed for
PTTEP staff and contractors to learn about their own duties
which are fundamental statutory rights. It also provides
safe working practice guidelines in E&P activities which are
considered high risk business that can cause loss of life
and property if there is no effective management system
in place. Therefore, it is required that all PTTEP staff and
contractors clearly understand and strictly comply with this
SSHE Handbook at all times.

Message
from
CEO

10


This PTTEP SSHE Handbook has been prepared
with the primary objective of providing safe working practice
guidelines in consistent with relevant SSHE laws and regulations.
Therefore, both PTTEP staff and contractors shall read,
understand and strictly comply with this handbook in order
to manage risks efficiently and to work safely. This is to
ensure that everyone returns home safely and nobody gets
hurt under PTTEP operations.

I need to emphasize that everyone has a Stop
Work Authority and shall never hesitate to use it when jobs
are considered unsafe. Moreover, it is everybodys responsibility
to immediately report any unsafe act and unsafe condition
to his/her line management.

Strong SSHE culture is a foundation to move
towards SSHE excellence. Hence, SSHE is everybodys
responsibility. Your commitment to SSHE, as well as social
responsibility, will pave the way for PTTEP to ultimately
achieve our SSHE aspiration to become Target Zero organization.

2. Observe both safe and unsafe acts/conditions,
including working station, equipment, hazardous
area and behaviour and response of observed
person.
3. Communicate observation results to observed
person on both safe and unsafe practices.

in the activation of the Emergency Management Team
(EMT) which is managed by the affected asset/site/location
EVP as an EMT leader (or Incident Commander, IC).

Tier 3: Crisis situation that is handled by the
Crisis Management Team (CMT) and managed by the
President and CEO as CMT leader. External assistant from
both national and international authorities may be required.
General requirements:
Every employee, contractor and visitor shall complete
on-site SSHE induction and clearly understand site
emergency plan, evacuation plan, emergency alarm,
and muster/ assembly point.
Each operating asset/site shall conduct on-site
emergency response and crisis management exercise as
required by the organisation itself or by applicable laws.
74

Each operating asset/site shall set up an emergency

response team (ERT) that can response to emergency
and crisis situation at all times (24 hours).
Emergency management workflow is shown below.

Contractors working within PTTEP premises shall
fully understand and strictly follow all applicable legislation
requirements, SSHE requirements addressed in PTTEP
SSHE contract requirements, and other site specific
