BE MTL CSR immediately via MTL.
Rig Move Procedures
5.1.6 Assets from one or more 3PL can be allocated to one move. Responsibility for the move
is assigned to the 3PL providing the crew and Rig Move Supervision.
5.1.6.1 Assets from another contractor attached to the Lead Rig Moving Contractor will be totally
under the responsibility of the Lead Rig Moving Contractor (**** including incidents
see below) from the moment the assisting asset arrives on site to the end of the rig move.
(Released by Lead RMS). This includes control of assets during rest / lunch breaks and at
the end of the working day (if move is longer than 1 day).
The assisting assets will be journey managed by their own Journey Management system
to the site. On completion of the Rig Move the Lead Rig Moving Contractor shall inform
the assisting assets / personnel - of end of rig move. The assisting asset drivers /
operators / personnel shall be responsible to contact their own journey manager for
journey plans back to base location.
**** Incidents: Any incident that occurs during the Rig Move by either the Lead Rig Move
Contractor or the assisting contractor, will be totally the responsibility of the Lead Rig
Moving Contractor. Lead Rig Move Contractor will be responsible for the reporting,
investigating and any follow-up action requirements.
However, where it is identified that an individual error / mistake / breach of rules etc is
the reason behind the incident (ie. a person attached / seconded to the rig move (driver
/ operator / crew member etc) does something that is not involved in the actual
supervised task), BE HSE / Operations Team will review and make the final decision
on incident ownership.
Copied in Incident Investigation Procedures R13. Sec 5.5.3
Incidents that happen to the assisting assets / personnel before joining the rig move or
after they have been released by the Lead RMS shall be the responsibility of the assisting
3PL.
5.1.7 The Rig will inform the PDO Warehouse of any intended move so that chemicals and
tubular can be inspected at the Old Location and pre stock arranged for the New Location.
5.1.8 After inspection, the PDO Rig Material Focal Point shall adjust the pre-stock order taking
into account the left over chemicals / tubular.
5.1.9 Marking of the new location is the responsibility of the rig company prior to the Rigs
arrival on site.
5.1.10 Pre-Stock is normally delivered on 3PL Trucks that will be utilised for the Move and
unloaded by the 3PL designated to undertake the move at the New Location.
5.1.11 If 3rd Party (OTO, Al-Mukhtar etc) are required to deliver pre-stock,
the Driver is to report to the BE SCSR in the relevant location to receive a briefing on
what to do on arriving at the New Location once his Journey Plan has been issued and
prior to departing for the New Location. See Appendix 11
5.1.12 The BE SCSR is to inform the 3rd Party driver to report to the Rig Move Supervisor (RMS)
or Assistant Rig Move Supervisor (ARMS) on the New Location who will tell him where to
park his vehicle for unloading. The Driver is then either to remain in his Cab or exit his
Cab and remain in a safe location away from the unloading area. He is not to assist with
Rig Move Procedures
the unloading.
5.1.13 Completion of Waybill/FCN
5.1.13.1 If the Old Location is on the way to the New Location the Driver is to go to the Old
Location and obtain a Signature form the PE/DSV then proceed to New Location
5.1.13.2 If the Old Location is within 40 Km of the New Location the Driver is to go to the Old
Location and obtain a Signature form the PE/DSV then proceed to New Location
5.1.13.3 If the Old location is in excess of 40 Km of the New Location the Driver is to proceed to
the New Location and hand over the Waybill/FCN to the RMS/ARMS. The RMS/ARMS
will obtain a signature from the PE/DSV once they arrive on location. This will then be
sent back to the relevant 3PL Hub (Nimr/Fahud) ASAP. If it is for 3rd Party it will then be
given to the BE Cargo CSR who will then send to the Driver.
5.2 Escort Vehicles
5.2.1 Vehicles which fall under (less than) the legal criteria below do not require an escort:
4.8 m in height.
3.5 m in width.
1.5 m extension beyond the rear, and 1.0 m in front of the vehicle.
The length of the vehicle on government roads should not exceed 17 m.
5.2.2 A vehicle which exceeds any of these limits is classed as an oversize load and requires a
3PL, ROP or both escorts. In any case the ROP are to be informed of all oversize loads
the ROP will make the decision as to who is responsible for escorting. 3PL escort vehicles
must have at least one (preferably two) roof mounted amber beacons.
5.2.3 Vehicles carrying an oversized load shall have, appropriate flags, and placards. If
permitted to move at night wide loads shall have additional lighting and have lit hazard
markings and width indicators.
5.2.4 An ROP Escort will be required for any Wide Loads (over 3.5m) which have to cross or
travel along a blacktop road.
5.2.5 On Infield rig moves, which do not involve the crossing or use of blacktop roads, the use
of ROP escort vehicles for Wide Loads are at the discretion of the ROP.
5.2.5.1 Infield move is one which meets all of the following criteria:
Within the same oil field
Does not involve crossing or using a black top road
Distance of 10km or less
5.2.6 Where an ROP Escort is, or maybe, required the 3PL assigned to the Rig move shall
make the request to the PDO Logistics Focal Point.
5.3 Overhead Line Clearance
5.3.1 The Responsible Supervisor for the work, or the Journey Manager where applicable, shall
obtain a Clearance Certificate from the Asset Custodians Authorised Electrical Person
when any of the following conditions apply:
Rig Move Procedures
Passage, underneath overhead power lines, of high vehicles/loads or large

equipment having a total height exceeding 4.8m metres on roads where goal
posts have NOT been erected.
OHL (Live Wire) lines - after measuring - which are within the stipulated safety
zones (ie less than the required clearance height between kicker board and OHL
as per 5.3.8)
On roads where goal posts have been erected, vehicles/equipment with a height lower
than the sign posted maximum do not require a Clearance Certificate.
Where there are OHL or Goal Posts crossing the intended route the following must be
noted during the route survey on Appendix 14
The location
Pole Number
Whether there is height warning signage
Whether there is a kicker board
Height of Goal Post kicker board (as indicated by the warning sign)
Height of Overhead Line (as indicated by the warning sign)
Actual measured height of the kicker board.
Actual measured height of the OHL (Live wire).
Any discrepancies, missing information, wrong measurements shall be reported to the

PDO Electrical Department
This information must be communicated to all 3PLs via Stems, Why???
Clearance Certificate Process

The clearance certificate shall be completed by the contractor conducting the Rig
Move Route Survey (submitted not less than 48hrs before move) and be signed by
PDO Logistics.
The clearance certificate shall be taken to the PDO Electrical Department who will
complete as required stating what actions they will take to rectify the situation.
The original certificate shall remain with the PDO Electrical Dept.
The Contractor shall receive a copy, a copy should be provided to the Rig.
On no account shall anyone change details on the Clearance Certificate.
5.3.1.1 Further to 5.3.1 above:

The following has been verbally agreed (MSE, UWD and BE) and is to be adhered to for
every move going forward.
All Kicker Board heights are to be measured and recorded on the specified route
Where there is any alteration required (tightening or raising the Kicker Boards) the
relevant certificate is to be requested by 3PL through PDO Logistics to PDO
Electrical Department accordingly. If no alteration is necessary then there is no
requirement for a Certificate to be issued
If PDO Electrical Department remedies the issue prior to the Rig Move, PDO
Electrical Department is to issue a certificate accordingly confirming the same and
detailing the new heights. There is then no requirement for their presence during
Rig Move Procedures
rig move
Kicker Boards shall not be lifted or removed (lowered).
The only time a Kicker Board shall be removed is when the power line is down or
the line has been switched off.
I. Any such works are to be undertaken under the supervision of the PDO
Electrical Department and are NOT to be performed by Rig Moving (3PL)
personnel
Note:
Monkey boards shall be lowered for all Rig Moves where there is risk that the
Monkey board may come into contact with the kicker board. All relevant /
reasonable precautions shall be taken to avoid striking / touching the Kicker
Board.
If at any time the Rig Moving Contractor is not 100% sure of the move about to
take place he is within his rights to employ empowerment to stop the work and
seek clarification.
5.3.2 Where an OHL is not height marked or without kicker board, or the Kicker board after
measuring is substantially different to the sign-posted height the location shall be
recorded (take the number located on a plate on the line post) and report findings to
PDO Electrical Department.
5.3.3 The 3PL shall complete an Overhead Line Clearance Certificate (Appendix 6) where
appropriate and submit it to PDO Logistics for signatory and cascading to the relevant
Area Electrical Supervisor. As per SP1242 the 3PL contractor shall obtain a copy of the
clearance certificate. The RMS shall carry a copy of the OHL Clearance Certificate
5.3.4 Where overhead power lines are within 15m of the Rig locations (Old or New) the
precautions to be taken during the rig move shall be agreed at the Pre Move Review
Meeting, e.g. warning barriers, signs, goal posts and any Clearance Certificates etc.
5.3.5 3PLs shall have access to Height Measuring Equipment. The 3PL moving the rig shall
utilise Height Measuring Equipment to measure all Kicker Boards / Overhead Power
Lines to ensure safe travel under both Kicker Boards / Power Lines.
Extreme care is to be exercised when measuring OHL (Live Wires). Sonic / Laser or
intrinsically safe devices (approved measuring device / pole) are to be utilised.
5.3.6 Where necessary the RMS shall walk in front of, and guide any rig load that appears close
to any critical point to ensure available clearance.
5.3.7 Power lines running parallel at the side of the road drivers of wide loads are to be
informed during the convoy TBT of the need to watch for such lines and position
themselves away from the lines. If the lines are on both sides of the road a central
position is to be adopted.
5.3.8 All items ie monkey boards (wherever possible and agreed with the Rig), antennas etc
shall be lowered to reduce the overall height of loads. The highest load is the governing
load for clearance of all overhead lines on route. That is to say - if the minimum height
of a kicker board is 13m, all loads shall be less than 13m, or a route change will be
required. Electrical Department may take action by raising the OHL / Goal Posts.

Pipeline Crossings etc) the DSV is responsible for submitting the relevant request to
the relevant agency and following up to ensure the works are completed and any
necessary permits are in place prior to the move commencing. The 3PL are to obtain
confirmation, in writing (email will suffice inclusive of copy of authorisation from
relevant authority) from the DSV that the works are completed and permission to cross
is in place
Route Surveys shall also be used to identify safe areas for rest / lunch breaks
Power lines running parallel at the side of the road drivers of wide loads are to be
informed during the convoy TBT of the need to watch for such lines and position
Rig Move Procedures
themselves away from the lines. If the lines are on both sides of the road a central
position is to be adopted.
5.7.1.1 Route Surveys shall not be signed for unless a Rig Representative has travelled the
route with the RMS conducting the Route Survey.

6.3.5 Pipe / Skid Bins

Pipe Skid Bins (generally winched loads) are to be secured at both ends of the skid by
chain. (As per SP 2001, page 10, sec 2.2.2). 4 Chains to be used 2 front / 2 rear
Chains are to be positioned so that securing of the skid is via the pad eyes to the vehicle
bed.
Internal Loads
If applicable - at least 2 webbing belts shall be lashed over the top of the skid to assist in
securing the internal load. This lashing shall secure the internal load to the skid (not the
vehicle bed). If it is not possible to secure the internal lashing to the skid, the lashing can
be attached to the vehicle bed. However care must be taken when releasing the load
securing as per 6.3.9.2.
Pipe Skid Bins that are full,
the weight is to be calculated (weight of a pipe x the number of pipes). Overweight
pipe skid bins are no to be loaded until the total weight (load and skid) meet the
dimensions painted on the skid.
pipes laid on dunnage - incomplete top layer of pipes, shall be chocked / secured.
6.3.5.1 Load Crews shall not deviate from the correct load securing methodology as per SP 2001
Sec 2.2.2, and BE Rig Move Procedures when securing skidded loads (including pipe
skids bins).

office skids, items attached to the outside of the load etc) is secure. Any unsecured item
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED until secured. No journey shall commence until the load is
secure, including movement on Rig site. The driver shall check ALL LOAD SECURITY
during journey and rest stops.
If required the Rig Moving Company can add additional securing to loads.
6.3.7 A Supervisor (RMS, ARMS, RMF) must check the security of ALL LOADS (especially
open top loads (Pipe Skid Bins) before loading and after loading, before vehicles are
allowed to move on Rig pad or depart from the Rig Site. Any unsecured item WILL NOT
Rig Move Procedures
BE ACCEPTED until secured.
6.3.8 Access to vehicles/trailers will be by vehicle steps or ladders fitted to trailers. Drivers shall
not climb up the sides of trailers for access.
6.3.9 Vehicles being unloaded shall not have their load securing removed until the load is at the
unloading point. It is acceptable for load crews to release load restraint prior to a
Supervisor / Foreman arriving to supervise the unloading.
6.3.9.1 Vehicles being unloaded shall have the actual load securing removed first eg the securing
that secures the load to the trailer / vehicle bed. Internal loads secured for transporting
purposes by the Rig Moving company (ie pipes in skid bins) - this securing shall only be
removed only once the load is grounded.
Any load that was internally secured by the Rig shall only be removed by the Rig.
6.3.9.2 Load Crews shall communicate with each other when removing securing belts / chains (as
undoing a belt or chain may cause movement of the load).
Web belt / ratchets and chains / binders shall be positioned on loads to enable the load
crews safe access to secure / release loads (from ground level, where ever possible).
Load Crews shall not place themselves in the LINE OF FIRE during the release of
security belts / chains, ie DO NOT STAND IN SKID BINS
Chains / binders shall not be used to secure pipes (metal on metal).

than to go to the new location. The vehicle may only drive loaded between old and new
location.
6.3.13 Overweight loads shall not be accepted. Refer to dimensions and if necessary conduct a
test lift.
6.3.14 Drivers shall follow all road rules when on journeys and be guided by load and road
conditions. Speed shall be as per posted speed limits / PDO speed limits (as per SP
2000) and be appropriate to the road conditions at the time.
6.3.15 In wet or muddy conditions Oil Based Mud (OBM) or uneven surfaces when winching
skidded loads an assessment must be made as to whether the load can be winched or
the use of a crane be implemented.
Rig Move Procedures
If a winch is the intended lifting method weaver pins shall be placed as soon as
possible after loading
If a crane is the intended lifting method careful sighting of the Crane out riggers
is paramount to a successful lift especially if wet conditions are evidenced.
Outrigger pads shall be utilised
6.3.16 For short moves old / new locations utilising the same Rig Pad - where loads might
need to be moved to a temporary location before final positioning the RMS should
conduct a dynamic risk assessment to ascertain ground conditions and any other risks
that might affect the movement / placement of the load.
6.3.17 On completion of the assessment - those crews involved in the task shall be provided with
a toolbox talk to ensure all understand the new process.
6.4 Advance Loads / RM Loads / Location Clearing Loads
6.4.1 In agreement with the TP (Advance / RM Day / Location Clearing) Loads may be
dispatched to the New Location as single vehicles (Free Runners) providing the load does

height shall either be escorted or be part of a convoy. All loads shall be able to
negotiate all OHL marked on the Route Survey
Width 3.5 m
Length - overhangs the rear by more than 1.5 m, or front by 1.0 m
The length of the vehicle on government roads shall not exceed 17m.
A vehicle / load that cannot meet these limits, requires an escort vehicle, and in some
cases, particularly wide loads over 3.5m, an ROP escort, or be part of a convoy.
6.4.2 The Driver must have been briefed as to the correct route, has been issued with a copy of
the Route Survey and must adhere to that route with NO deviations unless authorised in
writing by the RMS / ARMS.
6.4.3 Loads which are out of dimensions due to height or length must be escorted. The only
exception being Infield moves where the RMS has the discretion to allow Free Runners
6.4.4 All wide loads must form part of a convoy irrespective of the type of move.
6.5 Convoy Procedures
6.5.1 All Wide Loads must be transported as part of convoy.
Where a driver has been loaded and the load is oversize ie higher than 4.9m, wider than
the width of the vehicle / trailer and longer than the trailer or vehicle bed by 1.5m, these
vehicles shall form part of the convoy or shall be escorted to the next location.
6.5.2 The requirements for the convoy will vary depending upon if the move is conducted Infield
or during the day or at night.
6.5.3 The BE Convoy Procedures are set out in Appendix 1
Rig Move Procedures
6.5.4 If, for any reason prior to reaching the new location, a convoy must park up overnight, the
convoy is to park in a safe location (usually designated by the ROP Escort) in accordance
with the Rig Move Procedure. The Security (from theft) of the Rig owned materials within
the Convoy remains the respective Rigs responsibility. Where possible the 3PL
responsible for undertaking the move should ensure sufficient personnel remain with the
convoy to deter any attempt of theft from either the 3PL owned equipment or the Rig
owned materials, however, the 3PL bears no responsibility should any theft occur and any
incident of theft should be reported to the ROP as soon as possible.
6.6 New Location
6.6.1 On arrival at the New Location the RMS will park the vehicles off site ready to be called
onto the new Rig pad when required.
6.6.1.1 Vehicles parked and waiting to be called forward onto either old location or the new
location are to park leaving enough room between vehicles to pull out around other
parked vehicles. If there is a need to reverse the vehicle, the driver will either a. get a
Banksman to assist or b, check all around his vehicle for other parked vehicles / objects
before reversing.
Vehicles parked side by side shall leave enough room to pull forward and turn without
endangering other parked vehicles.
6.6.2 The RMS will check the New Location for hazards and ensure that the well cellar is
protected, and the guide lines are in place for spotting the mast.
6.6.3 The RMS is in charge of spotting the mast using the guide lines laid out by the Rig crew

only as a convoy. Any convoy should be planned to arrive at the new location in daylight
hours. If during the convoy move there is a delay on route, the convoy can usually be
allowed to continue on to the new location or be parked up in a safe location overnight.
(Sometimes this depends on a ROP decision, and the risks associated with night driving).
Under no circumstances shall single runners between old and new locations be allowed
during twilight moves.
If the move is to go on longer than the times stated above, the Twilight then becomes
Night Operations. At this point Night Operations rules and procedures come into force, as
per below 8.2.1 and 8.3.1
8.2 Night Operations
8.2.1 Night Operations only involve loading, unloading activities at old and new locations
(forklift, lifting and winching operations).
8.3 Planning
8.3.1 Twilight
The Rig shall give as much notice as possible for Twilight Move / Operations and should
be discussed at the Pre Move Meeting. The BE SCSR must be notified 24hrs prior to
deployment.
Night Operations (see- Rig Night Operations Procedure

BE_OMAN/ALL/ALL/HSE/PRO/038/20151201)
Only a few Rigs shall complete full night operations. Night Operations shall not include
driving between old and new locations. This should be discussed / confirmed during the
Pre Rig Move Meeting. The BE SCSR must be notified 24hrs prior to deployment.
8.3.2 All requests are to be made to the BE SCSR who will have the authority to approve or
reject the request.
Rig Move Procedures
8.3.3 The BE SCSR will inform the PDO Head of Logistics of the intention to work at night and
should relay this to the relevant Area Coordinators, to ensure ROP and medical staff are
informed
8.3.4 The BE SCSR will present a list of equipment being used on the move to the PDO Head
of Logistics and obtain a Step Out for night driving (Twilight only).
8.3.5 For night convoys the amount of vehicles / equipment must be agreed at the Pre Move
discussion stage.
8.3.6 Self contained lighting units (enough to ensure work can be carried out safely to each
location) shall be mobilised by the 3PL if able to provide to the Rig once confirmation has
been received.
8.3.7 If a convoy is to move on or across blacktop at night it will require the permission of the
ROP, if the move is Infield the ROP will be made aware by the PDO Area Coordinator
8.3.8 The Rig will make its Thuraya phone available if working in areas with poor/no GSM
coverage.
8.3.9 The TP will make the number of the Thuraya and Rig emergency numbers available to all
those who may require it.
8.4 Staffing
8.4.1 The Lead 3PL will ensure they have one of their HSE Advisors on site for the entire
operation and where possible a member of the 3PL Management Team.
8.4.2 The rig will ensure their medic is on location.
8.4.3 The Rig Move Crew must have had 12 hours rest before working any shift.
8.5 Toolbox Talk
8.5.1 The RMS and TP must conduct a TBT prior to work commencing as per Section 6.2. All
personnel to be involved in the Twilight or Night Operations must be fully briefed about
their role and responsibilities.
8.5.2 During the TBT the RMS must check that drivers and crew are not fatigued and are
capable of working until the operations end or relieved by a day crew.
8.6 Personal Protective Equipment
8.6.1 In addition to normal PPE all personnel will wear High Visibility reflective vests or wear
overalls with reflective stripes and be provided with and wear clear safety glasses.
8.6.2 Each person will carry a serviceable hand held torch or wear a helmet mounted torch
unless the area is floodlit.
9. Operations
9.1 The RMS shall ensure that all movements of his personnel are coordinated and kept to a
minimum, under control and that visual contact is maintained at all times during
Rig Move Procedures
operations, to avoid anybody being run over by the vehicles.
9.2 To minimise the need for working at heights, it is beneficial to have permanent slings
attached (provided / fitted by Rigs) to cabins and containers to facilitate hook up reducing
the need to work at height.
During transit the sling can be laid over the side of the cabin /container and secured.
9.3 Those cabins / containers that do not have permanent slings attached the lifting slings
will be attached by the Rig Moving Company.
9.4 All loading operations will be carried out under the direct control of the RMS / ARMS who
will liaise with the TP throughout and direct all vehicles and plant onto the rig site as
required.
9.5 Only one loading operation will be executed at a time. Vehicles will be called forward,
loaded and off loaded and moved off the location one at a time, un-loaded vehicles will
park up in the pre identified holding area .
10. Convoy
10.1 All vehicles must have all lights working and the 3PL are to ensure spare bulbs and fuses
are available on site.
10.2 The route must be checked by the 3PL during daylight on the day of the move to see if
there is any change to the road condition.
10.3 If there are any areas of concern they must be highlighted to the BE SCSR immediately,
BE will contact PDO Logistics and if the problem cannot be resolved, the convoy will not
take place.
10.4 If the move is Infield and the RMS and TP agree it may be possible for Single Loads to be
dispatched to the New Location, providing the route is clearly defined, eg Route Survey
map/diagram.
10.5 The drivers of Single Loads must comply with the speed limit displayed for that road. In
case of animals straying onto the road the driver must adopt defensive driving technique.
10.6 The BE Convoy Procedures - Night (Appendix 1) must be followed.

Vehicle speed to be decided by slowest moving vehicle or, at the discretion of
the RMS, based on load restrictions or previous experience
Ensure no vehicle shall place itself between the convoy lead escort vehicle and
the lead convoy vehicle.
The TP must not be between the convoy supervisor's vehicle and the lead
convoy vehicle.
The TP could be at the rear between the last convoy vehicle and the rear escort
Rig Move Procedures
vehicle, or between the lead and second convoy vehicle, i.e. TPs vehicle could
be the third vehicle in line in the convoy, (excluding the ROP escort) or the
second last vehicle
RMS to ensure that any barriers removed to allow the convoy to use special or
restricted roads are replaced immediately after the convoy has passed.
RMS lead escort vehicle to stop the convoy in a safe manner by warning use of
brake lights and indicator lights. This signal must be passed by each driver until
the rear escort vehicle

When the convoy needs to stop during the move for any reason a minimum of
10m must be maintained from the vehicle/load in front.
When the convoy parks for rest breaks/overnight a minimum of 5m must be
maintained from the vehicle/load in front.
2.4 Stopping the convoy
2.4.1 During the Rig Move the convoy will need to stop or park up, due to a planned rest
stop, a break down or any other reason. The following procedure shall be followed.
The RMS will signal his intention for the convoy to stop by switching on the
hazard warning lights and begins to slow
The vehicle immediately behind will use hazard lights and begin to slow
down. This process will continue from vehicle to vehicle throughout the
convoy.
Vehicles will slow to a controlled stop at a minimum distance of 10m to the
vehicle in front.
If the convoy is to park for a rest break then the RMS /ARMS will marshal the
vehicles to the parking positions at a minimum of 5 metres from the vehicle
in front.
2.4.1.1 Guiding vehicles / trailers through obstructions.
RMS will stop the convoy short of the obstruction

RMS will call forward the ARMS / Foreman to the front of the convoy

The ARMS shall control the remaining convoy vehicles, ensuring spacing is
correct and each vehicle / trailer does not move forward until the vehicle in
front is clear of the obstruction
The last vehicle in the convoy shall put on its hazard warning lights to warn other
road users of the convoy being stationary.
2.5 Dust Code
2.5.1 Following a vehicle travelling in the same direction:
When a vehicle travelling in the same direction is creating a dust cloud that makes it
difficult to see the road ahead, drivers must:
Slow down;
Keep a safe distance (at least four seconds) from the rear of the dust cloud, far
enough back to be able to identify and stop safely if the vehicle in front was to
Rig Move Procedures
stop suddenly;
Never enter the dust cloud;
Never overtake in the dust cloud.
Keep observing the road for turns, sharp curves or T-junctions on graded roads.
2.5.2 Approaching a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction:
When approaching a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction which is creating a

dust cloud that will blow across the road and make it difficult to see the road ahead,
drivers must:
Slow down;
Pull off the road, crossing over the windrow at least 300m before the dust cloud
is upon them and keep moving slowly along the safety lane;
Only rejoin the road when they can see the road in both directions is clear;
Slow to a crawl and drive as close to the windrow as possible if it is not possible
to leave the road;
Stop immediately (and put on the hazard lights) if they become disoriented.
2.5.3 Following a vehicle travelling in the same direction and then approaching a
vehicle travelling in the opposite direction:
When following another vehicle and faced with an approaching vehicle creating a
dust cloud that will blow across the road and make it difficult to see the road ahead,
drivers must:
Enter the safety lane and stop.

The driver of the vehicle in front may have become disorientated and stopped,
putting them at risk of a rear end collision in the dust cloud.
Hazard lights must be used.
Only rejoin the road when the road in both directions is clear.
2.6 Rest Breaks
2.6.1 Planned breaks should utilise parking areas to fit the whole convoy.
If the convoy is to park in a parking area for a rest break, the RMS /ARMS
will marshal the vehicles to the parking positions at a minimum of 5 metres
from the vehicle in front.
If the convoy is on a planned break and it is not possible for the convoy to
pull off the road, the convoy must be parked as close to one side of the road
as possible.
Any convoy that parks on the road (graded or otherwise, for any reason)
shall ensure that a vehicle is placed front and rear of the convoy with hazard
rotating beacons flashing to warn other road users. This includes during the
lunch break. On no account shall a Rig be left without adequate warnings to
other road users.
2.7 Breakdown
2.7.1 In the event of a breakdown the RMS shall ensure that:
All drivers /helpers stay in their vehicles unless directed to assist by him, or there
is a threat to life, to themselves or the occupants of the disabled vehicle
Rig Move Procedures
The front escort vehicle should be directed to the side of the road away from the
direction of blowing dust, if applicable
Nominate one escort vehicle from the front of the convoy to act as traffic control
and slow approaching vehicles
The rear escort vehicle should stay 200 metres back and control traffic in a
similar manner
Movement of personnel must be kept to a minimum and restricted to key
personnel only
Assess the situation and direct the minimum number of people to assist in the
breakdown and ensure that :
The area 2 metres out from the edge of the disabled vehicle and extending 50
metres to the front and rear are marked by traffic cones
Two portable beacons are placed at each end of the marked area
No personnel should wander outside this area
Once corrective action has been taken or a decision made to leave the vehicle,
the convoy supervisor must :
Inform his base and request vehicle/load recovery, and the convoy shall resume
its journey; or
Move all vehicles other than the disabled vehicle off the road if possible
On graded roads in daylight ensure all headlights, side, tail, stop, hazard
warning and rotating beacon lights are left on
If a repair cannot be effected, then the convoy should proceed leaving the
disabled vehicle as previously marked, and issuing its occupants with clear
instructions regarding the ETA of the recovery team and any additional
measures to ensure their personal safety
2.8 Accidents
2.8.1 Unlike normal vehicle breakdowns, road traffic accidents will involve one or more
vehicles and invariably close the road to all traffic. It is imperative that decisive
action is taken to ensure:
The victims of the accident are not exposed to any further risk or injury from
passing traffic.
Normal traffic is kept moving in a safe and controlled manner, by means of
temporary diversion. The accident site must be preserved in its original condition
to allow investigation.
2.8.2 Secure the accident Site
Ensure all vehicles other than the vehicle(s) involved in the accident move off
the road if possible.
On graded roads in daylight ensure all headlights, side, tail, stop, hazard
warning and rotary beacons are turned on.
Ensure all drivers stay in their vehicles unless assigned to help
Assess the situation and the seriousness of the accident, alert the nearest PDO
Central Control Room to request medical, recovery and ROP assistance
Direct a suitable number of people on site to give immediate assistance
Send one escort driver to the front and one to the rear (approximately 100
metres) and by using a hazard warning beacon at night, or a red flag during
daylight hours, warn approaching traffic of the hazards, and direct them onto the
safety hard shoulder.
Rig Move Procedures
If the road has no hard-shoulders, then all traffic should be stopped. The road
100 metres to the front and rear of the accident site should be marked by traffic
cones across it's width.
Place two portable beacons at each end of the marked area (even during
daylight)
Ensure no personnel wander outside the area.
Once all injured parties have been evacuated and permission has been obtained
from the ROP to move the vehicle, ensure that if the vehicle is not to be
recovered immediately it is relocated to a safe place where it will not interfere
with the movement of other traffic.
If the vehicle cannot be moved the vehicle shall be repaired at site. However,
sufficient markers / lights shall be placed out to warn other road users.
If personnel stay, clear instructions should be given regarding the ETA of the
recovery team and any additional measures to ensure their personal safety.
3.0 Night / Twilight Convoys
3.1 The RMS shall ensure that:
Each vehicle carries four traffic cones and portable flashing lights
Each driver and helper carries a reflective jacket and wears it when out of the
vehicle
Escort vehicles carry a minimum of 10 traffic cones and four extra beacons

3.3 If Rig vehicles are to travel with the convoy they will be positioned to the rear of the
convoy prior to the last vehicle and will abide by convoy procedures.
3.4 Stopping the convoy will be by the use of hazard warning lights to notify the
following vehicle of the intention to stop.
3.5 If the convoy has to park up the RMS shall try and ensure all vehicles are kept off
the road.
3.6 If there is no alternative other than parking on the road, the convoy is to be parked
up on the road all on one side and as close to the edge as possible, and marker
light must be placed along the convoy and the amber beacons of the first and last
vehicle switched on at all times.
Rig Move Procedures
3.7 If this is not possible vehicles may be parked on the road as long as egress for
vehicles which have been off-loaded is not impeded.
3.8 The front and rear vehicles will have their marker lights and amber beacons
switched on at all times and the road should be marked with high visibility traffic
cones 100 m either end of the parked vehicles.

Rig Move Procedures
Appendix 10 Procedure for Mixed moves
1. General
1.1 Selection of the Lead 3PL will be conducted by BE in the planning stage and depend on
availability of assets from the respective 3PL.
1.2 All assets within the day rate model are available to be deployed from any 3PL to facilitate
PDO Rig moves under the management and discretion of BE.
1.3 Where possible the mixing of Crews, Cranes and Forklifts will be kept to a minimum due to
the working relationships already established within the 3PLs.
1.4 If there is no practical alternative but to mix assets (and crews) then this will be done in
consultation with the relevant 3PLs and agreed prior to deployment.
1.5 If assets requested by BE on mixed moves, fail to be deployed by the 3PL(s), a default
penalty in line with the terms of the contract will be applied to each asset.
1.6 Allocation of assets on Twilight Moves shall be discussed, and agreed, by BE, RMS and the
DSV. The Lead 3PL will be informed to demobilise any unwanted assets back to base.
2. HSE
2.1 The Lead 3PL will be nominated by BE at the planning meeting.
2.2 The Lead 3PL will assume responsibility (operational and HSE) for all assets and people
deployed on that move.
2.3 Should a HSE incident occur on a mixed move, then the Lead 3PL will be the Incident
Owner and be responsible for reporting and ensuring the incident is investigated thoroughly
and objectively.
2.4 The exception to incident ownership would be a single vehicle (Free Runner) which is
involved in an incident between locations. In such cases the relevant 3PL which operates
that asset will be the Incident Owner.
2.5 The UWL Incident Review Committee will determine the ownership of any subsequent
Actions and who the incident will be reported against for statistical and Rig Move Incentive
Scheme purposes.
2.6 Where Night Crane Operators are deployed by a 3PL, the supervision will be the
responsibility of the Rig unless a full night crew and 3PL Supervisor have been deployed.
3. Twilight Payment (Split Moves)
3.1 On completion of the Rig Move each 3PL shall supply BE with a schedule of the assets
deployed on the Twilight activity for each day, in line with section 1.6.
3.2 BE will use the Split Payment Mechanism introduced on 1.1.2011 to establish the monitory
payment each 3PL will receive for Twilight payment.
Rig Move Procedures
3.3 The BE Finance Teams will create the SAP entry for the agreed amount after each Split
Move.
3.4 3PL will invoice the agreed split amount to BE once the SAP entry has been completed.
