0.1.2 The Background and Basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>PDO</strong>‟s <strong>HSE</strong> Management System<br />
This revision to the <strong>HSE</strong> Management System further advances <strong>PDO</strong>‟s continual improvement in <strong>HSE</strong> and its overall Corporate<br />
Management Framework (CMF), a structure and <strong>Code</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Practice</strong> document developed to provide clarity and direction on the<br />
principles by which <strong>PDO</strong> manages its business. <strong>PDO</strong>‟s <strong>HSE</strong> Management System fits within the CMF. As such, the <strong>HSE</strong><br />
Management System is aligned and meets stakeholder aspirations and expectations in that it delivers compliance with the<br />
following:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Omani Law: While there is no specific legal requirement for <strong>PDO</strong> to have an <strong>HSE</strong> Management System in place, Omani<br />
Law essentially requires that many <strong>of</strong> the key processes <strong>of</strong> a Management System are in place.<br />
<strong>PDO</strong> Business Policies: <strong>PDO</strong>‟s Business Policies communicate our intentions and expectations for achieving stated<br />
Business Objectives. <strong>PDO</strong>‟s <strong>HSE</strong> Policy requires that a systematic approach to <strong>HSE</strong> management shall be applied.<br />
The ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems.<br />
The OHSAS 18001 specification for occupational health and safety management systems.<br />
The Center for Chemical Process Safety (C<strong>CP</strong>S - 20 Elements for Process Safety).<br />

& Social Performance.<br />
<strong>PDO</strong>‟s Management System hierarchy <strong>of</strong> documents (The Corporate Management Framework [CMF], Policies, <strong>Code</strong>s <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Practice</strong>, Procedures, Specifications, Guidelines, and Records).<br />
The ongoing and future vision for <strong>PDO</strong>‟s <strong>HSE</strong> Management System is the systematic review, with revisions as necessary,<br />
leading to the continual improvement <strong>of</strong> measures taken to protect the health, safety, and environment <strong>of</strong> those that may be<br />
affected by the activities <strong>of</strong> <strong>PDO</strong>. This vision is also part <strong>of</strong> <strong>PDO</strong>‟s management commitment so as to ensure the suitability,<br />
adequacy, and effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the <strong>HSE</strong> Management System. See Table Two – ALIGNMENT OF <strong>PDO</strong>‟S <strong>HSE</strong> MANAGEMENT<br />
SYSTEM PROCESSES WITH 1SO 14001, OHSAS 18001, C<strong>CP</strong>S PSM, and the SHELL HSSE & SP CONTROL FRAMEWORK<br />

0.1.3 Using this <strong>Code</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Practice</strong><br />
Language<br />
In this document the recommendations for a course <strong>of</strong> action are made with varying degrees <strong>of</strong> emphasis and mandate. As a<br />
rule:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'shall' / „must‟ indicates a required course <strong>of</strong> action at all times, with mandatory status within <strong>PDO</strong>, and a good practice.<br />
'should' indicates a preferred course <strong>of</strong> action, and a best practice.<br />
'may' / „can‟ indicates a possible, optional, and/or supplementary course <strong>of</strong> action.<br />
In this document the collective expressions <strong>of</strong> <strong>PDO</strong> are sometimes used for convenience in contexts where reference is made to<br />
the specific asset and/or for contractors in general. These expressions are used where no useful purpose is served by identifying<br />
the particular asset and/or contractor(s).<br />
Application<br />
In general this <strong>Code</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Practice</strong> is applicable to all <strong>PDO</strong> operations, assets, and facilities, employees, contractors, and other<br />
relevant stakeholders. Should any significant deviations be made from the recommendations in this document, then users are<br />
required to inform <strong>PDO</strong> <strong>of</strong> the nature and justification for these if it is intended that the deviations are to be permanent.<br />
Feedback<br />
The content <strong>of</strong> the <strong>HSE</strong> MS is not static, but a growing and improving collection <strong>of</strong> <strong>HSE</strong> expertise. Consequently, users are<br />
invited to comment on the content to <strong>PDO</strong> and to suggest changes and additional material which they consider would be useful<br />
for inclusion in future revisions. Please refer such comments to MSE52 using the Feedback Form on Page 11.<br />
