Full Description

The purpose of this standard is to assist owners and contractors in developing, improving and maintaining their mutual safety programs. Widely diverse contractor functions and uses may include resident, non-resident, long-term and short-term contractors. These have in common the need for effective safety programs to protect both owner and contractor personnel from workplace injury and illness, as well as from losses associated with incidents arising out of contractor work. This standard aims to help both owners and contractors improve the contractor's safety performance while preserving the independent contractor relationship. It was developed for the petroleum and petrochemical industries and the firms that perform contract work for them.

Contractors perform greatly varied work within the petroleum and petrochemical industries. Some perform construction and turnaround activities or drilling and well servicing; specialty contractors provide skills and services that are not typically found within an owner's work force. Contractors may even provide services that augment the peak loads and skills of owners' work forces, such as in the maintenance and operation of facilities. Since owner sites and contracted work are diverse, this standard may not be applicable to all operations at each company or to all contract work performed in those operations. As such, this publication may not apply to incidental contractors that generally do not affect facility safety, such as those that provide janitorial, laundry and delivery services.

This document addresses ?conventional? safety and health. It does not address safety concerns associated with security or terrorism issues.
