WHAT IS RIG MOVING AND COMMISSIONING HSE PLAN?
This document and article is uploaded by MSRA DOCS. Rig moving and commissioning HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) plan refers to a comprehensive document that outlines the safety and environmental measures to be followed during the process of moving and commissioning an oil rig or drilling platform. It is designed to ensure the protection of personnel, assets, and the environment throughout the rig moving and commissioning operations.
The HSE plan typically includes the following key components:
Hazard Identification: This section identifies potential hazards and risks associated with rig moving and commissioning activities. It involves conducting a thorough assessment of the site, equipment, and operations to identify any potential sources of harm.
Risk Assessment and Mitigation: In this section, risks identified in the previous step are evaluated and prioritized based on their severity. Appropriate control measures and mitigation strategies are then implemented to minimize or eliminate these risks. This may involve the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safety procedures, and training programs.
Emergency Response: The HSE plan should outline emergency response procedures, including evacuation routes, communication protocols, and responsibilities of personnel in the event of an emergency or incident. It should also provide details on emergency equipment, such as fire suppression systems and medical facilities, that may be required during rig moving and commissioning operations.
Training and Competence: This section focuses on the training and competence requirements for personnel involved in rig moving and commissioning activities. It specifies the necessary training programs, certifications, and competencies required to perform specific tasks safely and efficiently
Environmental Protection: Rig moving and commissioning operations can have potential environmental impacts, such as oil spills, discharge of pollutants, or habitat disturbance. The HSE plan should address measures to minimize these impacts, including the use of proper containment systems, waste management procedures, and adherence to environmental regulations.
Monitoring and Audit: Regular monitoring and audit processes should be implemented to ensure compliance with the HSE plan and identify areas for improvement. This may involve regular inspections, safety meetings, incident reporting, and data analysis to track performance and implement corrective actions.
Overall, the rig moving and commissioning HSE plan is a crucial document that guides safe and environmentally responsible practices during the relocation and commissioning of oil rigs. It helps to protect the well-being of personnel, prevent accidents and incidents, and minimize the impact on the environment.

6.6 RISK MANAGEMENT
Following the proactive approach to HSE, risk management techniques will be adopted so that potential hazards are identified and evaluated before execution, thereby enabling either substitution or adoption of control techniques.
6.6.1 Risk Assessment
[COMPANY] will conduct a post-contract risk assessment committee to identify any work activities-related hazards. Then all risks released from each hazard should be assessed & control measures to reduce the risk priority number should be defined.
All such assessments will be submitted to the relevant personnel before the intended execution of the works, and will also form the basic content of the Pre-Task Instructions.
Any change in design, material, equipment, and instruction must be reviewed concerning their introduced risks.
6.6.2 Detailed safe work Method Statements
Work method statements will be compiled by a subcontractor for all those tasks where risk assessments have identified them as critical and/or where required by [COMPANY NAME] (such as unusual tasks etc.). Typically they will be required concerning heavy lifts, tasks, requiring rigging studies, vessel entries, hot taps, and pressure testing, novel methods if deemed.
The work method statement will detail the sequence of work, methods to be adopted, equipment to be employed, and roles and responsibilities of key personnel. It will be subject to approval by [COMPANY] located at the workplace, and alongside the risk assessment, will form the basis of the pre-task instruction. It should be noted that in the case of some critical tasks, including those using novel techniques, trials, or training exercises may form part of the pre-task instruction.
6.6.3 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
The control of substances hazardous to health is recognized as a critical element of the safety program and will be achieved through a combination of hazard communication, the establishment of safe systems of work, and controlled handling and disposal of such substances.
The control system commences at the procurement stage, at which all vendors and Subcontractors will be required to submit material safety data Sheets for all hazardous substances that they will be supplying. Copies of these data sheets and methods of treatment of injuries sustained by hazardous substances will be forwarded to the Contractor HSE manager who will retain a master file. Subcontractors will be required to carry out assessments in coordination with the site HSE officer in compliance with recognized standards. Only when all parties are satisfied there are no suitable alternative safer materials, and, that the control measures are adequate will the materials be permitted on the worksite and used.
Such control measures will address transport, storage, labeling, packaging, handling, disposal, personnel protective equipment, and emergency procedures and training therein. Persons using such substances will become acquainted with the associated hazards and the necessary control measures through pre-task instruction and ready availability of method statements and data sheets. The hazardous substances covered will also include products from drilling processes. The disposal of waste material will also be considered, e.g. spent lubricating oil.
Storage of hazardous substances on site will be kept to a minimum, as agreed by [COMPANY]
6.7 Environmental
The project HSE plan contains further details on environmental management needs and should be read in conjunction with this Worksite HSE Management Plan
6.7.1 Impacts and Environmental Assessments

An effective housekeeping and waste disposal program is an essential aspect of worksite HSE performance whether it relates to Compliance with client requirements, fire prevention, minimizing trips and falls, or ensuring good access.
[COMPANY] will emphasize individuals taking responsibility for their waste but this will be supplemented by a requirement that all subcontractors provide a dedicated housekeeping resource the extent of which will be determined by the overall size of each subcontractor’s workforce.
Good housekeeping will be rigidly enforced on the camp and anyone not complying with the waste disposal requirements will be severely reprimanded.
Specific attention will be paid to waste disposal from the messing units which will go through the same procedure of bagging and placing in bins. Each messing unit will have its own enclosed storage area.
This enclosed storage area will be clear of the kitchens, mess units, and any accommodation areas.
6.7.1 Housekeeping
All areas must be kept free from debris and waste material on an ongoing basis. At the end of each working day, a check will be carried out to make sure that all waste material has been gathered properly.
All empty containers of hazardous material must be removed from the work area as soon as is reasonably practicable. All empty gas bottles must be returned to their storage area and stored properly.
All spillages must be cleaned immediately following the product manufacturer's recommendations. All cleaning materials due to solvent content etc. will be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of as such.
6.8 Implementation:
All control barriers & recovery barriers will be defined according to the hierarchy of the principles of control in risk management proceeding then all applicable routine controls will be defined in operational safety instructions, also hazards & controls will be awarded in PJSM & TBM at the drilling worksite

Other HSE operational & management docs will be controlled through [COMPANY] initial document control & will be reviewed by second Audit parties.
6.8.2 Permit to Work System
A permit-to-work system will be implemented on the project, to ensure that those tasks attracting elements of risk will be subjected to thorough and systematic planning and preparation before their authorization to proceed.
[COMPANY] will implement its permit system. Notwithstanding this, certain activities (confined space entry, excavations, use of man-baskets, heavy lifting) will require work permits at all times.The underlying philosophy of the [COMPANY] permit-to-work system is that the task supervisor receives a permit only after it has been reviewed by safety concerns and approved by the Toolpusher. Further, the permit program provides a form of method statement that identifies measures to be adopted by the subcontractor and his employees.
Whenever activities are located outside the rig area and need to be allowed by permit, the company PTW will be followed. Only persons who have completed the [COMPANY] permit to work training module will be permitted to receive, review, or authorize permits.
Permit Considerations are as follows:
Hot Work
A Procedure will be developed for hot work.
The procedure will ensure that all conditions on the work permit are strictly adhered to such as tests for hydrocarbon in the work area carried out, fire extinguishers being in place, and drainage systems covered.
During flushing or air blowing, areas, where liquids or gases are exiting, must be barricaded off and warning signs displayed.
Where noise may be generated by the activity, ear protection must be worn all by persons in the work area.
Where noise could be above 100 dBA, a system must be evolved to give an audible warning (Siren) to all workers in the vicinity before starting the activity. Similarly, when the activity has been completed, a system to advise workers will also be evolved.
Work permits will be issued by the HSE officer
A copy of the permit must be displayed at the place where the work is to be carried out, together with any documentation, sketches, etc. That is relevant to the work. Other copies will be retained for filing by the HSE Officer. The Officer will also maintain a register of all permits that are issued.
Confined Space Entry
All entries into confined space will be controlled by permit and carried out following an approved method statement which will be produced relating to Confined Space Entry. The underlying philosophy is that a confined space (such as a pit, vessel, pipe, or cellar) will not be entered until its environment and atmosphere have been verified by [COMPANY] as safe to use, and also that proximate work has been coordinated so that it does not cause a hazardous interface with the confined space activity.
All persons involved in confined space activity will receive training in the relevant safe system of work as well as emergency response procedures. All such work will receive close supervision from [COMPANY]
6.8.3 Safe Work Method Statement
All sub-contractors who want to present service operations in the Drilling field must apply [COMPANY] SWMS and services operation will not be allowed without SWMS approval. All necessary docs, certificates & sketches must be enclosed to the SWMS forms wherever deemed. 2 weeks before execution all relevant forms & documents must be prepared & completed by the sub-contractor & presented to the [COMPANY] HSE officer.
6.9 Performance Monitoring
[COMPANY] will utilize several auditing and inspection programs not only to ensure compliance with Project requirements but also to identify areas for enhancement and to provide a predictive indicator of the ongoing standards of safety and environmental performance. To avoid duplication of effort, and to promote a common Safety and environmental Culture and Goal, at all levels, [COMPANY] will carry out inspections and audits combined with the inspection and audit schedules. Underlying the programs will be extensive participation that includes Subcontractors as well as [COMPANY]. The program emphasis will be as per the following:
6.9.1 Audits
6.9.1.1 'High Risk' Activity Audits
The contractor HSE manager will arrange an audit program that covers those activities identified by the risk assessment procedure as presenting significant hazards. As a minimum, these will include:
Confined space entry
Electrical lock out/tag out
Lifting and lifting equipment
These areas will be supplemented by audits of individual 'high risk' tasks and activities as against agreed method statements. These audits will extend beyond the investigation of mere physical conditions but will also constitute a quality-type audit that concentrates upon conformance to procedures, checks and controls, and operative awareness, all of which precede field performance.
6.9.2 Performance Review
Performance reviews will be held regularly. The objective of the review is to gather information from monitoring, inspection, and auditing activities and to assess the effectiveness of health, safety, and environmental implementation of policy and procedures on site.
The key performance indicators are:
Compliance with health, safety, and environmental performance indicators
Identification of areas not addressed in the safety and environment plan
Achievement of specified safety and environmental objectives

Temporary Electrics
All temporary electrical equipment on the worksite will be restricted to minimize risk to individuals and property, whilst all temporary distribution rings will be controlled by [COMPANY] electrical supervisor and subject to a work practice which will be produced relating to electrical safety during drilling. The subcontractors will be required to put in place an inspection and maintenance schedule for all temporary equipment, to be approved by the [COMPANY] electrical supervisor. All electrical equipment (including leads) will be inspected and tested in compliance with regulations. The contractor will employ the service of a competent person to inspect, test and tag all electrical equipment. An inspection schedule will be put in place, and portable site tools inspected at intervals, not to exceed 3 months. The subcontractor will keep, on-site, a register of all electrical tools and equipment in use. The register will detail:
Individual identity number of the tool
Name, and signature of the competent individual who performed the inspection/test.
Date of inspection
Condition of the tool, details of repairs, and any withdrawal from use.
The following standards apply:
All electrical equipment will be tagged, as tested
All equipment will be earthed e.g. lighting towers, distribution panels, and generators.
All electrical leads will be in good condition and will be connected to the power source through standard industrial waterproofed plugs and sockets which will be in good condition.
When used within a confined space, pneumatic or low-voltage equipment must be used.
During the commissioning phase and within some confined spaces, explosion-proof classified electrical equipment may be required.
All temporary electrical systems will be subject to audit by the site Electrical Supervisor periodically.
6.9.4 Mobile Equipment
In recognition of the hazardous implications of misuse or failure of drilling & service operation equipment, [COMPANY] will implement preventative maintenance and inspection programs which will be verified by the site HSE officer and discipline supervisors. Certain equipment (such as welding sets, generators, compressors, etc.) will require visual evidence of such checks. Only persons competent to do so will operate drilling & relevant equipment.
6.9.4.1 Heavy Vehicles and Traffic Control
Traffic on the worksite will be minimized to avoid unnecessary hazards and congestion at the workplace, with entry onto the worksite being controlled by routine checks by an HSE officer. Speed limits will be enforced by the HSE department.
Specific accesses and egresses for pedestrians will be maintained at all times, as well as routings for emergency vehicles. Subcontractors will be made aware of all such closures and heavy equipment routings at the related HSE meeting.
[COMPANY] and Subcontractors will develop road safety policies to minimize the possibility of traffic accidents on the public highway, e.g.:
Driving times
Age
Driving hours
6.10 Health, Safety, and Environment Awareness
Every effort will be made to improve the safety and environmental awareness of all employees on the site. The main vehicles for this are safety training and effective communications.

Wear proper long-sleeve clothing to protect yourself from burns.
Wear proper welding eye/face protection.
Avoid looking directly at the flame or arc when welding.
Wear fall protection when working from heights.
6.19.2 Setting up Rig Floor
Once the substructure is set in place, the process of setting up the rig floor begins, by installing stairways and guardrails to allow access to the rig floor. Then, the draw works are set in place and secured to the substructure. Then the electric cables (lines) are strung to the draw works
The bottom of the mast is raised to the rig floor and pinned in place. The crown section is then raised into place on the derrick stand. The "A-legs" are raised and pinned into place. The monkey board is pinned in place on the mast and all lines and cables are laid out to prevent tangling when the mast is raised. A thorough inspection of the mast should be made before raising the mast/derrick. The mast is now ready to be raised. The engines are started and the drilling line is spooled onto the draw works drum. Once the mast has been raised and pinned, the remaining floor equipment can be set into place. A derrick emergency escape device is installed on the mast.
Potential Hazards
Falling or tripping during rigging up.
Falling from the rig floor.
Being struck by swinging equipment.
Being struck by falling tools.
Being crushed or struck by equipment due to failure or overloading of hoisting equipment.

Check all pin shafts and clips and ensure they are proper and complete.
Check all the bolts, nuts, and gaskets for tightness.
Check the lubricating points of the rotated position.
Check the buffer hydraulic tank for normal operation.
The raising rope and wireline must be replaced if there are any defects not confirmed to API. Such as twisting, broken wire, flattening, and corrosion.
Move away any irrelevant parts on the mast, no spanner, hammer, bolts, nuts, or pins are placed on the mast to avoid dropping down to hurt the operator
Mast Up
When raising the mast, the maximum wind speed shall not be more than the specified amount in rig spec.
When raising the mast, should adopt the lowest gear position of the draw works.
When the mast is 200mm away from the high support, stop the draw works and check:
Check and ensure that the hoisting rope and wireline are lead properly, the wireline is all on the groove, and rope carriers are reliable.
Check and ensure the end of the hoisting rope is reliable.
Check the deadline anchor and ensure the press plate is fixed firmly.
Check if the front and back legs, support base and girder of A-bracket, support leg of the mast, support of guide wheel, hoisting ear, hoisting sheave, upright of mast body, and brace are of lost formation and cracked welded seam.
Otherwise, repair and change the defective parts at once.
Check the substructure as per the substructure instruction manual.
Check the draw works, power system, and air system as per the instruction manual of the drilling rig.
Caution: before raising the mast formally, the above task should be proceeding two times at least to ensure that the mast is in proper condition.
During the formal raising, start the hydraulic buffer device when the mast leaves the high support away and forms a 60-degree angle with the ground. The operation procedure of the hydraulic buffer refers to the stipulation on the control panel.
After the mast is upright; fix the A-frame and mast with U-bolts whose end is double nuts.
After jacking up of mast, assemble U-bolt, press block, nut, and pin constant and A –bracket firmly, and then loose raising rope and jack up the substructure as operation manual.
