OISD 207

OISD 207
 Scope of OISD 207

• This standard covers broadly the guidelines on the management system for
enhancing the safety levels of the contractor workforce deployed in
construction, maintenance and operation activities in the hydrocarbon industry.

• The safety precautions to be taken while carrying out different activities during
construction / maintenance have separately been covered in OISD-GDN-192 on
"Safety Practices during Construction"
 Safety – Everyone’s responsibility
• Responsibility of all: Employers, managers, supervisors and
employees.
• Safety is essential for workers & for companies ( human and
economic losses).
• Most injuries are preventable: Stop, look and think.
• An “accident at work” is an unwanted and sudden event at work
resulting in physical injury.
• Sometimes an accident causes neither injury nor damage; this is
called “near miss”.
• Risk = Severity of harm * Possibility of occurrence
“The two direct causes of an accident are unsafe actions
and unsafe situations. 80% of accidents are due to unsafe
actions and only 20% are due to unsafe situations.”

 Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
Job safety analysis (JSA) provides a mechanism by which the contractor, safety
officer or supervisor take a detailed look at how an individual task is performed and
its inherent hazards and preventive measures .In a JSA, each step of the job is
examined to identify potential hazards and to determine the safest way to do the
job.
A job safety analysis includes five steps as below:
• Select a job
• Break the job down into a sequence of steps
• Identify the hazards against each of these steps (based on knowledge of accident,
causes of injuries and personal experience) and determine the preventive measures
to overcome these hazards
• Apply the controls to the hazards
• Evaluate the controls

CRITERIA OF SELECTION OF A CONTRACTOR

• A databank should be developed for all the contractors for their

past performance on HSE aspects. An attempt should also be made
to get similar data from other similar industries.
• The data required will depend upon complexity involved in the job
and type / size of resources required. Format needs to be suitably
developed depending upon size, nature of the job & hazard
associated therein.
• Performance review is essential for all type of contractors. It helps
in recording actual performance/experience with contractors while
the contract is in progress.
