OBJECTIVES
The principal objectives of the HSE Philosophy are:To ensure a safe design is achieved and thus minimise the possibility of
injury to personnel from the consequences of an accidental event.
To reduce the probability of an accidental event occurring.
To minimise the damage caused to plant, equipment, structures and the
environment should an accidental event.
To minimise any degradation to the local environment, be it wildlife habitat,
ground water, air quality or marine life.

DEFINITION
The 'HSE Philosophy' is a document specific to each project, identifying the
basic health, safety and environmental engineering in the design which is
used as a basis for more detailed development of design safety criteria.

The HSE and Loss Prevention aspects of the project shall conform with
statutory legislation including, but not limited to the following:
- Law No.4 (1996) Establishing the Environment, Natural Wildlife Research
and Development Authority *
- Law No.8 (1978) on conservation of Petroleum Resources of the Emirate of
Abu Dhabi
- Law No.1 (1997) concerning the amendment of certain provisions of Law
No.8 (1996) on the Establishment of the Environment & Natural Wildlife

Federal Environmental Guidelines - UAE **
ADNOC HSEIA Guidelines.
ADNOC Environmental Protection and Occupational Health Guidelines.
Additional codes and standards which are to be complied with are specified in
the applicable design philosophy documents, e.g. IP, API, CENELEC, NFPA,
EN, BS etc.

DELIVERABLES
List the applicable documentation required, refer to ADCO Document No
30.99.90.015 titled " Project Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Plans "
Appendix 4.
As the design progresses through basic and detailed engineering, additional
requirements may be included, e.g. vendor data, pre-commissioning,
commissioning and start-up manuals, operating and any special procedural
manuals.
For each process plant, a document entitled 'Register of Safety Related
Devices' should be produced, which identifies on each section of the plant the
device, location, tag number and operating design parameters, e.g. PSV's,
SSV's, ESDV's, etc.
For each major plant or facility, a document titled " Fire Protection and Safety
Dossier " should be produced which combines a brief description of the risks,
locations, the flammability and toxicity of inventory, type/make or model
number of ESD valves, fire and gas detection and protection systems, also
fire, safety and rescue equipment on each site.
For further details refer to ADCO documents titled "Guidelines for Preparation
of a Register of Safety Related Devices" and "Guidelines for Preparation of a
Fire Protection and Safety Dossier" (to be issued).
It is important to identify and reference any training requirements on new
equipment, systems or procedures.

PROCEDURE
6.1
INTRODUCTION
The production of a HSE Philosophy document shall be considered for
all engineering design work regardless of size, function and
geographic location.
6.2
7.1
INTRODUCTION
Include a brief description of the purpose and scope of the philosophy.
7.2
BASIS OF PHILOSOPHY
Incorporating the objectives as stated in Section 2.0, this section will define
the basic principles and design parameters being used on each project in
order to achieve those objectives.
7.3
DESIGN CRITERIA
This is a brief summary of the Health, Safety and Environmental Criteria,
incorporating the applicable Codes and Standards selected from those listed
in Section 4.0 titled "Reference Documents.
7.4
ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION
Highway junctions, crossings, slip and access roads are designated to ensure
vehicular transport has safe passage both to and from the installation. Avoid
crossing major highways.
Ministry of Interior, Transport Section requirements are specified, along with
the type and location of impact barriers for protection of nearby facilities such
as oil and gas pipelines or High Voltage transmission towers requirements for
illumination, sign posts, kerbs and roadway markings are also stated.
7.6
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
A resume is given of the design parameters for the design of the structures.
This includes fire compartmentation, segregation, passive fire resistance, fire
ratings of walls, floors etc., protection against explosion over and under
pressures, protection against impact from either surface vehicles or aircraft.
7.7
DEMOLITION
Where existing plant is required to be demolished as part of the project, the
principle objectives are defined, whether to partially or totally destroy, discard,
mothball or salvage structures and equipment.
The method and means are fully described for each stage and preventive
measures against the chemical, physical, health and environmental risks
likely to be encountered are identified and detailed as early as possible.
7.8
EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION
Company policy regarding Tag numbering is outlined to ensure consistency
on design drawings, specifications, procurement requisitions and equipment
delivered to site. Reference is made to equipment requiring any colour
coding or hazard warning notices.

(iv)
ISOLATION
The design criteria are stated and defined in sufficient detail in the FEED
/ Basic Engineering to ensure the requirements for double block and
bleeds, spectacle
blinds, bypasses, purging, cathodic probes, and
interlocking systems etc. are specified.
7.14
7.15
7.16
7.17
Consider minimising the effects the Construction phase will have on the
Environment, i.e., dredging and dumping of dredged material affecting tidal
flows, fencing, sewage, installation of portable incinerators to reduce the
amount of garbage otherwise buried as landfill etc.
7.18
specified and the broad band levels for general work areas are normally
based on an 8 hour day. The various levels for different work areas are
defined, which are usually set to allow for reliable speech, telephone or radio
communication.
Vibration is required to be limited to avoid interference with both equipment
and personnel.
Consider the noise and vibration levels in Control rooms and if potentially
excessive, specify the requirement for an Ergonomic Study to be conducted.
