PREFACE

PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication,
of PETRONAS OPUs/Divisions.
They are based on the experience acquired during the involvement with the design, construction,
operation and maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where appropriate they are based
on, or reference is made to, national and international standards and codes of practice.
The objective is to set the recommended standard for good technical practice to be applied by
PETRONAS' OPUs in oil and gas production facilities, refineries, gas processing plants, chemical
plants, marketing facilities or any other such facility, and thereby to achieve maximum technical
and economic benefit from standardisation.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to users for their consideration and
decision to implement. This is of particular importance where PTS may not cover every
requirement or diversity of condition at each locality. The system of PTS is expected to be
sufficiently flexible to allow individual operating units to adapt the information set forth in PTS to
their own environment and requirements.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use PTS they shall be solely responsible for the
quality of work and the attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In
particular, for those requirements not specifically covered, the Principal will expect them to follow
those design and engineering practices which will achieve the same level of integrity as reflected
in the PTS. If in doubt, the Contractor or Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from his
own responsibility, consult the Principal or its technical advisor.
The right to use PTS rests with three categories of users :
1)
2)
3)

PETRONAS and its affiliates.

Other parties who are authorised to use PTS subject to appropriate contractual
arrangements.
Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with
users referred to under 1) and 2) which requires that tenders for projects,
materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said users
comply with the relevant standards.

Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with
users, PETRONAS disclaims any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury
or death) suffered by any company or person whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the
use, application or implementation of any PTS, combination of PTS or any part thereof. The
benefit of this disclaimer shall inure in all respects to PETRONAS and/or any company affiliated
to PETRONAS that may issue PTS or require the use of PTS.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual
arrangements, PTS shall not, without the prior written consent of PETRONAS, be disclosed by
users to any company or person whomsoever and the PTS shall be used exclusively for the
purpose they have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after use, including any
copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of PETRONAS.
The copyright of PTS vests in PETRONAS. Users shall arrange for PTS to be held in safe
custody and PETRONAS may at any time require information satisfactory to PETRONAS in order
to ascertain how users implement this requirement.

LPG SAFETY
LPG Manuals
A revised section on LPG safety is being prepared for inclusion in the joint SIPM/SIPC
Facilities Manual. When completed the new section will also be issued as section
11.00.00 of the SIPC Marketing Safety Code.
In the interim, guidance can be found by reference to the LPG Facilities Manual and to the
SIPC Plant Operating Manual, Volume 3.The subject areas covered in these manuals are
listed in Appendix 11.00.01.
Since LPG facilities are often located within marketing distribution plants, their design,
positioning and operation can have a marked influence over the safety of oil product
handling activities and vice-versa. Therefore the following interfaces must be considered.

11.00.02

Fire Protection
Although fire-fighting techniques differ for oil products and liquefied petroleum gases,
benefits can often be derived from joint facilities, particularly with respect to water cooling
systems. A unified system comprising a water main, water storage and pumping capacity
designed to permit selective application according to the size, location and type of fire, will
usually be more economical, simpler to operate and easier to incorporate into an effective
fire emergency plan.

11.00.03

Safety Distances
Where shortage of land or inability to relocate facilities makes it impractical to meet the
recently increased safety distances for LPG facilities, it may be that such alternatives as
deflection walls or -fixed water curtains offer the most cost effective solution to
supplement the existing separation not only between adjacent LPG facilities but also
between LPG and oil product facilities within the same plant. In this respect where
guidance may be required regarding radiation levels of LPG fires and the effect of burning
jets of gas which may impinge on, or be too near to other vulnerable facilities, reference
should be made to SIPC (MKMG/4).

11.00.04

Area Classification
The zones and their extent presently in the LPG Facilities Manual, will be given in the new
safety section.

11.00.05

Vehicle Movements
Care must be given at the layout design stage and the necessary disciplines imposed to
control vehicle movements (e.g. customer/dealer vans bringing/collecting LPG cylinders,
etc.) to designated safe areas inside the plant.

11.00.06

LPG Storage Vessels

A horizontal LPG vessel (or bullet) is weakest at its ends. If such a vessel is engulfed in a
fire, the internal pressure may increase such as to exceed the strength of the walls of the
vessel, causing the ends to blow out horizontally with great force. Therefore, when siting
such vessels care should be taken that they are 'pointing' at the least vulnerable target in
the vicinity, e.g. not at areas of habitation which are difficult to evacuate, nor at other
vessels or above ground storage tanks. The same consideration should be given to
parking places for LPG bulk vehicles and rail tank waggons, particularly if they are left full
of product for any length of time.

SAFETY AUDITS AND INSPECTIONS

12.00.01

Safety Audits
Safety audits (or appraisals) are the means of:
(a)

ensuring that the whole safety effort is effective and meaningful, and that the
objectives are understood, and

(b)

identifying falling standards, areas of risk or vulnerability hazards and potential

accidents in plants and operations.

The main methods of using the audit tool are as follows:

(i)

In-company audits of installations, depots, LPG facilities, chemicals/bitumen/luboil

plants, service stations and other sales points carried out by company line
management or safety personnel.

(ii)

In-company cross-auditing between different installations, depots, plants, etc. In

these, personnel from one location visit and audit another location and vice-versa.
This type of audit has the added advantage of exposing each location to scrutiny
by an 'outsider'.

(iii)

Where two adjacent countries share similar environments, problems and even
language, inter-company audits have the advantage of convenience because of
relative nearness of the company, plus a degree of 'outsider' effect and training for
participants.

(iv)

A co-operative company international-type of exercise, for example by teams

comprising one representative from each of three companies, extends the
advantages already mentioned and also adds a greater measure of training and
experience for participants, as well as promoting a higher level of safety
awareness among those with whom the visiting teams have contacts.

The main objectives of safety auditing are to improve standards of performance, extend
safety training and stimulate safety awareness, as outlined in 01.02.06. Audits must not
be confined to plant and equipment but should cover all potential sources of hazard
involving personnel, plant, services, operational procedures, organisation and the whole
safety system. They should also ensure that occupational health and safety standards
1
fully satisfy legal requirements and those of the company s written safety policies,
objectives, and programmes.
Objectives should cover the examination and qualitative assessment of the standard of
operation of every activity and should be clearly defined. The activities should include
design of plant and facilities, occupational health and hygiene, environmental control, and
product and public safety (including storage, packaging, labelling and transport), as well
as those associated directly with daily operation working methods, maintenance, the
permit system, emergency procedures, job descriptions and operating instructions,
training, housekeeping and personal attitudes.

12.00.02

Appraisal of Safety Management and Office Centres

Recommendations for a comprehensive safety management system are included in
Section 01.00.00. An outline of points to be audited is given in Appendix 12.00.01
including the main items to be assessed and/or inspected in a safety audit of Head (or
District) Offices.

12.00.03

Safety Inspection of Installation, Plant and Depot

Installation/depot superintendents should continuously audit the operations they control
so as personally to ensure that the equipment under their control is properly maintained
and safely operated. Formal inspection should be made at regular intervals not
exceeding six months and should cover groups of items as shown in Appendix 12.00.02.
Information on plant inspection is given in the 'Plant Operating Manual' volume 1, Section
06.00.05, and electrical equipment in 06.00.09.
These lists may be extended or altered to suit local conditions. It is not necessary to
complete the safety inspection on one occasion, provided that all activities are covered
within a reasonable period. There is some merit in carrying out surprise checks at
random intervals, and particular value is obtained from auditing facilities while they are in
use so as to spot operational faults in addition to equipment defects.

12.00.04

Safety Inspection of Retail Outlets and Consumer Facilities

Staff (sales representatives, sales managers and retail engineers) responsible for retail
outlets and consumer facilities must make regular and frequent inspections to ensure that
safety regulations and safe operating practices are fulfilled and that safety/fire equipment
is maintained in good condition.
Scope of inspections varies from country to country, but a suggested list of items which
should be covered by a safety inspection of retail outlets is given in Appendix 12.00.03
and for consumer facilities in Appendix 12.00.04.

Reference should also be made to Marketing Oil Report 811 entitled 'Operational Safety
Standards at Retail Outlets'.

12.00.05

Transport Equipment
(a)

Road transport vehicles

Vehicles which enter hazardous zones at the plant, e.g. bulk lorries, must be in an
acceptable condition. This necessitates periodic inspection by designated depot
staff, irrespective of whether the vehicles are company, contractor or customer
owned. Other vehicles taking products for competitors or agents/customers also
require adequate supervision and/or inspection to ensure that they are in a safe
condition or are not permitted to enter hazardous areas. An example of a bulk
lorry safety check is given in Appendix 12.00.07.

(b)

Rail waggons
Operating personnel should be trained to inspect tanks and fittings, particularly for
leaks, on arrival and during the filling or discharge of waggons, and a system for
reporting and handling any defects is necessary.

(c)

Waterborne craft
The master of a coastal tanker/barge is responsible for safety on board his ship at
all times. Nevertheless, while berthed for loading or discharging, the ship's
operations must be closely co-ordinated with shore operations to ensure the safety
of all personnel and facilities at all times.
Ship and shore personnel should exchange a checklist based on the
recommendations given in the 'International Safety Guide for Oil Terminals and
Tankers' (ISGOTT), Section 5.7, Appendix A, to ensure that both parties are fully
aware of the safety regulations and with the action to be taken if an 'unsafe'
situation arises on ship or on shore while the vessel is berthed, see 06.01.01.
A safety inspection list concerning wharves and jetties is given in Appendix
12.00.02, Section 10.10.

12.00.06

Safety Inspections of Aviation Facilities at Airfields

Staff responsible for aviation facilities and aircraft fuelling must make regular and frequent
inspections to ensure that safety regulations and safe operating practices are followed at
aviation depots and airfields.
An outline for such an inspection is given in Appendix .12.00.05. More detailed
information on inspections is included in the following SITC publications:

12.00.07

(a)

'Aircraft Fuelling Facilities', Volumes I and 2

(b)

(c)

'Shell Airport Operations'

LPG Facilities
Comprehensive information on safety precautions to be observed when handling LPG are
given in the 'Plant Operating Manual', Volume 3, and will be included in Section 11.00.00
of this manual.
A general safety inspection checklist is given in Appendix 12.00.06.

APPENDIX 12.00.07 BULK VEHICLE SAFETY CHECK LIST

'
The following check list is based on a vehicle inspection system recommended in Plant Operating
Manual' Volume 5. Many of the inspections can be carried out quickly and visually, by walking around
the vehicle while it is waiting to be loaded. Other checks require more time, and many on the tank
and fittings can be carried out only when the vehicle is loaded although evidence of serious leakage,
for example, will be obvious from the state of the tank and fittings.

The formal inspection system is structured for periodic short and long-term checks on own and
'
contractors vehicles, and is carried out be designated depot staff.

CHASSIS
1.

Exhaust system

1.1 Check that position is as required by local petroleum regulations for

low-flash products. Check that there is no danger of product spilling
on to exhaust system during filling.
1.2 Check pipes and silencer for holes, badly fitted joints and loose
brackets.
1.3 Check 1.2 with engine running. Check noise level of exhaust as an
indication of condition of silencer.

2.

Fire screen

(rear of cab)

If required by local regulations for low-flash product vehicles. Check that

screen is in position and sound.

3.

Cab windows

Check cab quarter lights and rear window. Report any missing, broken or
cracked glass.

4.

Electrics

General visual check of all lights, indicators and visible wiring. Report
broken lamp or indicator glass, loose, unprotected or broken -wires on
those circuits visible. Check existence and operation of battery master
switch. Is battery well protected from inadvertent contact with terminals?

5.

Tyres and
wheels

5.1 Check all wheels visually for broken or missing studs or nuts, cracked,
broken or heavily corroded wheel flanges. Check all tyres for signs of
under-inflation, damage to tyre walls, and areas of excessive wear on
tread.
5.2 Check tread depth on all tyres. Report tyres with tread depth less
than 1mm.

Check:
Radial and cross ply tyres are not mixed on the same axle.
Radial and cross ply tyres are not twinned on the same hub.
Where cross ply and radial tyres are mixed on a vehicle - the cross plys
should normally be on the front.
Vehicles with single tyres front and rear must never be fitted with radial ply
tyres front and cross ply rear.
No stones lodged between twin tyres or stones/ sharp objects lodged in
tread.

6.

Brakes

6.1

Air brakes
Check for obvious leaks and damage in pipework, air reservoirs and
couplings. Check rate of pressure build-up in air system. Unload air
pressure and check time required to build up pressure with vehicle
stationary with engine running just below governed speed.
Check operation of low pressure warning device.

6.2

Hydraulic brakes
Check system for obvious leaks.
Check amount of free pedal movement.
Report excessive movement.

6.3 Handbrake lever - mechanical system.

Check level holds ON position when knocked.
Check that lever is not at the end of its permitted travel.
Note: Do not release handbrake unless you are sure that the vehicle will
not move.

7. Air intakes

Check that stack pipe type air inlets are capped to prevent entry of liquid
from spillages during loading. Report open-ended air inlet pipes.
Note: This type of air cleaner is normally mounted immediately to the
rear of the cab, with the inlet tube rising vertically some distance from the
filter.

8. Steering

With wheels in straight ahead position, turn steering wheel to left and right
as far as possible without feeling resistance due to the road wheels
turning. Steering wheel play should not be more than 1/5th of the diameter
of the steering wheel.
Note: This does not apply to vehicles with power steering.

TANK
9.

Outlet valves

Check outlet valves for signs of obvious leaks and wear.

Check that dust cap is provided.
With tank and outlet lines empty check that valves function normally.

(emergency valves)

10.1 Check operating levers, wires, rods and links where visible.
Report broken or worn components.

11. Manhole lids and

other tank fitting

12. Bottom loading

valves

13. Tank mountings

10.2

With tank and outlet lines empty check operation of foot valves.

10.3

With tank full and outlet valves open, check product tightness of foot
valves.

11.1
