1.0 PURPOSE
The objective of this procedure is to describe for the ICs, EPCs, PMC and Early Works
Contractors how hazardous construction activities are controlled in the workplace, and to
identify the actions and responsibilities that are necessary to operate the Pearl GTL
Permit to Work (PTW) system for the construction phase.
This procedure has been prepared by PMC, henceforth referred to herein as COMPANY
acting for and on behalf of Qatar Shell GTL.
The IC, EPCM, Early Works Contractors and their Sub contractors shall henceforth be
referred to herein as CONTRACTOR.
A further amendment to this procedure is planned to include an enhanced permit to work
system to hazardous pre-commissioning and commissioning activities, start-up and early
operations. A PTW procedure for construction work close to equipment undergoing
commissioning will also be prepared.
A PTW will be applied during construction. Activities within RLC in an unfenced area are
subjected to the RLC PTW system. Activities on site that can have an affect outside of a
fenced off area are also subject to the RLC PTW system.
The construction PTW system will be used up until the commencement of commissioning
activities at which time a further set of pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and
operations PTW systems will be introduced.
This procedure does not address hazardous activities after the construction phase i.e. pre-
commissioning, commissioning, start-up and production operations.
This procedure identifies the standards and sets the ground rules required to ensure, as
far as is possible, that the PTW system is applied in a similar way.
2.0 SCOPE
This document describes the procedure for the onshore ICs, EPCs, PMC and Early Works
Contractors will use whilst implementing the PTW system where required during
construction activities.
It also describes the principles and essential features of the Pearl GTL PTW system.
Providing details of the way in which planning, control and administration of work that is
under permit control is achieved by Pearl GTL.
CONTRACTOR, ICs, EPCM's and Early Works Contractors, shall be governed by this
PTW system.
The procedure includes descriptions of the following essential elements of the Pearl GTL
PTW system:
• The activities and types of work that will be controlled through the PTW system.
• A description of the permits that will be issued for various types of work.
5887-ON-PR-HM-013

Ras Laffan, Qatar Page 6 of 59
• The method for deciding which hazardous work requires additional control
measures, such as confined space or excavation permits.
• The method used to ensure that a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) has been
carried out and the results incorporated in the control measures for work under
permit control as per the JSA.
• The persons who are authorised to issue permits and to specify the necessary
controls on supporting certificates.
• The method used to assure the competence of permit signatories and others
playing an active role in the Pearl GTL PTW system.
• A method for monitoring, auditing and reviewing the effectiveness of the PTW
system, including the role of System Custodian.

3.0 RISKS
Failure to adequately identify and control health, safety and environmental hazards in the
workplace through a robust PTW system may result in serious injury, death, severe
environmental pollution, damage to assets and loss of local and international reputation.
Failure to identify competent personnel to administer the PTW system may result in the
PTW system being incapable of controlling hazards in the work place.
Failure to monitor the effectiveness of the PTW system may result in inadequate control of
hazards in the work place.

7.0 PROCEDURE
The PTW system ensures that for activities generating additional risk in the workplace,
additional controls are in place to reduce the risk to acceptable levels (ALARP).
• The inherent risks of the activity assessed as high or medium by the Risk
Assessment Matrix identified in the HSSE/SD MS, see Appendix W.
• High risk construction activities where controls are not detailed in other procedures
or work instructions.
The following personnel will carry out the process risk assessments:
• PMC and EPC Area Managers for the onshore construction. The boundaries of the
working areas will normally be designated by secure fencing and signage
• Pearl GTL Asset Manager for operations in all areas within the fence line of the
Pearl GTL Complex (see T-13.369.401) and specific external operated areas
including Pearl Platform A; Pearl Platform B, Beach Valve and within 3rd party
operated areas of responsibility where specific activities occur that may interfere
with Pearl GTL’s operability e.g. Jetty, Offsite Storage, and Pipetracks.
For each phase of the Pearl GTL project Permit Control Areas will be identified, Appendix
X, which define the extent of control needed for the activities and types of work that have
5887-ON-PR-HM-013
Permit To Work Procedure - Construction Phase
Pearl GTL Project Revision: 4
Ras Laffan, Qatar Page 12 of 59
been assessed. A plot plan which identifies the control areas is shown at Appendix A.
Typically the types of control will be:
• Coordinate all permit to work activities within the area, including those permits
which are suspended, but where the work is not complete.
• Inform the relevant authority of any potentially hazardous situations arising from
permitted work.
• Operate the permit issue point to reflect the current state of work.
• Clear precise description of the work, which includes the actual location of the
work, the designated equipment to be worked on, the actual tools and equipment
to be used and the planned work method. The description may require other
5887-ON-PR-HM-013
Permit To Work Procedure - Construction Phase
Pearl GTL Project Revision: 4
Ras Laffan, Qatar Page 13 of 59
documents to be attached to the permit these may include job hazard analyses,
method statements, isolation lists, drawings or sketches.
• Identification of any interfaces with other work being carried out in the same area
or in another adjacent area.
• Confirmation that all necessary preparations that have been made. Commonly
these will be:
• Gas and / or dust testing to confirm that the equipment is free of any
flammable, toxic or asphyxiate atmosphere.
• A description of any residual hazards that remain after preparations have been
made. The hazards may include residual construction, materials, pressure,
temperature and physical hazards arising from the location or work to be carried
out.
• After discussing the details of the work, the preparations that have been completed
and the controls specified on the permit, the permit issuing authority, focal point
construction supervisor and Permit Holder sign the permit to authorise the
commencement work and issue the permit. The Permit Holder undertakes to
explain to the work party the details of the work, the hazards and the controls.
• Confirmation by the permit holder and the permit issue authority that the work has
been completed or suspended and that the site has been left in a clean and safe
condition.
• A signed working master copy to be held by the Permit Issuing Authority whilst the
permit is in operation. (When the work is completed and the permit is closed this
becomes the file copy).
• An updated copy of the master for display at the worksite whenever work is under
way.
As well as the permit forms and certificates, additional precautions required for the work
can be provided by safety checklists, see Appendices. The checklists are useful for
providing instruction and guidance to the Permit Holder and the workforce. The permit will
5887-ON-PR-HM-013

• Permit Issuing Authority, who is responsible for ensuring that all preparations are
complete, and for authorising the work to proceed.
• Authorised Gas Tester, responsible for measuring flammable, toxic and asphyxiate
gas, and to interpreting the results.
• Permit Holder, responsible for carrying out the work in accordance with the
conditions on the permit.
It is important that the Permit Issuing Authority and the Permit Holder is not the same
person. This is to prevent the possibility of a person issuing a permit to himself.
The Pearl GTL Training Manager will identify the levels of competence required for each
role and will establish training requirements to maintain the competence. Records of PTW
training and authorisation will be kept by the Pearl GTL Training Manager and the Pearl
GTL HSSE Manager respectively to demonstrate competence and authorisation of permit
signatories.
Only personnel who have successfully completed appropriate PTW training will be
authorised to perform signatory roles. Authorisation will be subject to an expiry date no
greater than 3 years. The need for refresher training, reassessment and reauthorisation at
periods of less than 3 years will be subject to the results from PTW audits. An up-to date
list of authorised personnel will be displayed at each permit issue point;
PTW awareness and the use of standard workplace PPE will form a part of the site
induction training provided for the whole workforce.
• No other work is being carried out that could conflict with the work identified on the
permit.
• The preparations carried out to make the worksite safe for work remain in place
and are still valid.
5887-ON-PR-HM-013
Permit To Work Procedure - Construction Phase
Pearl GTL Project Revision: 4
Ras Laffan, Qatar Page 15 of 59
When re-validating a permit it is mandatory that permit issuing authority and the permit
holder verify that the worksite remains safe by completing a worksite inspection before the
permit is re-validated.
A person authorised as issuing authority may revalidate, close, suspend or cancel any
permit.
7.11 Records
The master copy of completed permits, supporting documentation and certificates will be
retained by the PMC / Asset Holder until the end of the project.
5887-ON-PR-HM-013
Permit To Work Procedure - Construction Phase
Pearl GTL Project Revision: 4
Ras Laffan, Qatar Page 16 of 59
The following records will be retained by the COMPANY, Pearl GTL PMC, Training
Departments until the end of the project:
• Permit training,
• Refresher training,
• Worksite safety precautions are adequate and controls are being implemented
• Permits have been completed correctly and being displayed at the worksite.
• The work party been briefed and have an understanding of what the work entails,
the safety precautions that must be taken and the controls that must be
implemented
Periodic inspections of the way the PTW system is being implemented will be carried out
at 3 month intervals by an HSSE Advisor using a permit picked at random and the check
list at Appendix O. The results from these inspections will be used to improve the
operation of the PTW system and the training of those who use it.
An independent audit of the operation of the PTW system across the whole site will be
carried out at 2 year intervals as required by the Pearl GTL HSSE Internal audit
programme. The frequency of the internal HSSE audits will be dependent on results from
the previous audits or the frequency of workplace incidents.
As part of the continuous improvement of HSSE Management that results from the
management review process detailed in Pearl GTL HSSE MS Management Review
Procedure, management will review the effectiveness of the PTW system annually and
modify it where necessary
