Tullow safety rules - The Group

Working at Height
All personnel, when engaged in work 2 metres (or 6 feet) or more above a working surface or where a fall could result in a
significant injury e.g. water; should be protected at all times from falling by guardrail systems, fixed platforms or personal
fall arrest systems. Note: Risk of significant injuries may occur from heights less than 2 metres (or 6 feet), as such,
appropriate controls and mitigation measures must be in place to manage such risks.
Management of Change
A process for the identification, evaluation and approval of change that ensures risks associated with specific changes are
managed prior to the execution of the change and commencement and/or continuation of activities.
Lifting Operations
Lifting operations are defined as activities associated with the lifting and lowering of a load i.e. includes movement,
which may include both horizontal and vertical, of the supported load.
Risk Assessment
A process by which hazards are identified and evaluated for a specific activity, and control and mitigation measures
implemented to prevent and mitigate potential hazards that have the potential to adversely impact the protection of people,
the environment and surrounding communities.
Non-routine activity
An activity that is being performed sufficiently infrequently that could potentially lead to the inadequate identification of
hazards and ineffective implementation of controls.
Safety Critical Equipment
Safety Critical Equipment can prevent, control or mitigate major accident events and the failure of which could cause or
contribute substantially to a major accident event.
HAZOP
A Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study is a structured and systematic examination of a process or operation in order to
identify and evaluate hazards that may represent risks to personnel or equipment, or prevent efficient operation.
Major Accident Event
An accident involving loss of life on a site / facility of five or more people resulting in damage to equipment leading to
stoppage of process or adverse effects to the environment.
Zero Energy State
The dissipated energy state whereby no stored energy can be released and all electrical sources are grounded.
