Purpose

General
The purpose of this directive is to ensure that all proposed temporary and permanent changes within BPN are systematically evaluated to ensure that the risk related to people, plant or processes are assessed, communicated and controlled to an acceptable level. The mindset is that the responsible person has intent to make a change. This directive and attached forms will be used to identify and document the risks related to the change and any steps necessary to mitigate those risks. If remaining risks are unacceptable, the change must not be implemented. This directive meets the expectations set forth in Getting HSSE Right, Element 7 Management of Change (MoC) and Integrity Management Standard element 7: Management of Change.

Scope

The directive applies to changes within BPN related to plant, process and/or people. All changes will be managed by utilizing a risk based&controlled decision-making process. The level of rigor involved should be commensurate with the level of risk. The directive applies to any temporary or permanent physical alteration that deviates from the design intent, any deviation from the documented safe operating limits or procedures, any change in process outside the design specification, any change in management systems, or a significant change in organization or personnel that leads to a loss or transfer of people with particular knowledge or experience. This directive lists factors for each type of change, to consider whether the change requires a MoC. Consult relevant change with your supervisor. If in doubt whether the change requires MoC contact person with adequate experience/expertise. (I.e. HSSE representatives, lead discipline engineer, technical authority, etc.) The directive applies to all parts of BPN activities - onshore and offshore. The directive and its appendices should be used for generic MOC. In situations for which dedicated processes and procedures have been prepared satisfying the key requirements of MOC, namely robustly documented risk management process, such should be used for managing changes fitting their scope.

BPN Handover document - Transition of Roles and Responsibilities. Acceptance criteria are criteria used to express an acceptable level of risk in activities ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) -means that the risk level has been reduced through a documented and systematic process to such a level that it is no longer possible to identify cost-effective measures that can further reduce the risk Critical work process includes work processes where lack of control of changes may lead to moderate or high risk (combination of consequence and probability) of: accidents, harm to people and/or damage to the environment economic loss, and/or impairment of BP's reputation HAZID (HAZard IDentification) is a method used to identify potential elements of risk HSSE (Health, Safety, Security and the Environment) The term also includes emergency preparedness, working environment and security MoC implies a documented Management of Change process as described in this directive. Plant Is in this directive related to plant, facilities and equipment such as buildings, structure, piping, safety equipment, escape routes, tie-ins, by-passes, etc. Process Is in this directive related to work processes or systems such as procedures, software, conditions or requirements (work-flow) People Is in this directive related to organizational change processes Risk - Expression of the combination of probability and consequences of one or more accident/incidents happening Risk analysis - An analysis covering systematic mapping and description of risk to personnel, the environment and material assets. Work arising from temporary and permanent changes to organization, personnel, systems, process, procedures, equipment, products, materials or substances, and laws and regulations cannot proceed unless a Management of Change process is completed, where applicable, to include: a risk assessment conducted by all impacted by the change development of a work plan that clearly specifies the timescale for the change

Identify need for MoC

and any control measures to be implemented regarding: equipment, facilities and process operations, maintenance, inspection procedures training, personnel and communication documentation authorization of the work plan by the responsible person(s) through completion Evaluation of the need for MoC should be done in all phases from the planning stage and all the way through the actual execution. It is a duty of everyone involved in the planning, approval and execution of work to evaluate the need for MoC. A generic MoC process is required when change introduce risk factors that are not sufficiently identified, documented and controlled through other relevant procedures/directives, exemplified in chapter 3. E.g. Safe Job Analysis (Directive #11), Projects & Modification (Procedure 1.70.005) etc. Detailed descriptions of changes requiring and not requiring documented MoC process are specified in chapter 3 (Plant, Process and People). For changes repeated frequently it may be worthwhile to establish described work processes which are reused and robustly documented. This will probably be more effective than to use this generic method each time such change is to be managed.

Introduction

Demand Analysis
In connection with management of change processes, the MoC leader shall make sure that the changes are described in detail in order to ensure a sufficient evaluation basis ensure that the analysis basis is documented so that the relation between the analysis basis and the results (measures) are traceable The descriptions should describe the current situation and the desired future situation.

Terms of reference

The individual who is proposing the change shall complete the following sections of the Terms of Reference for the Management of Change (Appendix 1.) Name and the date. The description of the change. The purpose of the change. Type and Duration of change (permanent/temporary) Target date for the change MoC team Approver The approver is the individual who will ultimately approve the relevant change. In emergency situation, the person in charge is authorized to execute changes to maintain the safety of the facility without following the fully documented MOC directive. After the emergency situation is cleared, properly documented MOC processes should be handled. If the change is intended to be temporary, a time limit must be set on when the original design intent (ie equipment, operational conditions, organizational structure, etc) will be restored, and the management system (Traction) should be used to ensure that the time limit and any other conditions are not violated.(Normally less than 6 months). Extension of temporary change shall be reviewed and approved by the next higher level of management before pre-authorized time-limit expire. Special precautions to maintain safe operations while a temporary change is in effect shall be periodically reviewed for effectiveness. Facilities are brought back to normal or permanent mode before a temporary MOC is closed. When evaluating the impact on critical work processes, the main focus must be on identifying changes which may lead to Related activities being completely left out due to lack of resources or lack of awareness of the importance of the activity Related activities being performed, but with reduced quality. This may be due to inexperienced personnel performing the work or taking "shortcuts" as a result of imbalance between the workload and available resources Losses which may occur because personnel perform activities for which they are not sufficiently skilled, thus leading to the work being done incorrectly The evaluation of critical work processes must also include indirect effects. Engineering Authority shall ensure that each organizational unit reviews the MoCs logged in Traction annually or more frequently if appropriate, to assess the cumulative impact of all changes.

Introduction

Identifying elements of risk

Risk evaluations of MOC processes shall be done by a MoC team. The MoC team ought to consist of representatives of the critical work processes identified as being affected by the change personnel with HSSE competence employees' elected representative and/or safety delegate (shall be invited.) In selecting a team, the following mix of attributes must be considered: Adequate technical expertise/experience. Adequate understanding of the risks Adequate organizational and business understanding. Arrangements for employee contribution This team will propose measures, which limit any risks to an acceptable level in accordance with BPN ALARP principle (ref. Directive 36 Risk analysis and acceptance criteria). The MoC team will identify potential elements of risk using HAZID , etc or other systematic methods which stimulate creativity, i.e. which gives the participants the opportunity to identify circumstances that are outside their own scope of experience by using appropriate checklist (appendix 2-5) and other tools available for Hazard recognition The team should consult as widely as is necessary to allow them to come to an informed decision on the risks associated with the change. Affected persons including contractors, sub-contractors, vendors, and customers may be consulted as necessary. When identifying potential elements of risk, a risk evaluation needs to be carried out in which the elements are ranked into the following categories: High potential which means that risk-reducing measures need to be implemented Medium potential which means that risk-reducing measures can be implemented if deemed necessary based on a cost/benefit evaluation Low potential which means that no further measures are deemed necessary The risk of an unintended incident occurring can be estimated by means of BPN risk matrix, available through directive 35 Unwanted Events, or by using the more advanced & detailed methodologies and acceptance criteria in HSSE Directive no. 36, Risk Analysis and Acceptance Criteria.

Identification of risk-reducing measures

Based on a systematic evaluation of the elements of risk involved in an management of change process, the MoC team is to identify probability-reducing measures intended to prevent an incident from occurring and/or

consequence-reducing measures intended to reduce the consequences of an incident that has occurred Of these two, probability-reducing measures are to be prioritized Based on the risk and risk reducing measures the MoC team shall confirm whether or not the change should be implemented. The MoC team shall prepare a plan for implementation of the measures. The plan is to propose deadlines and the person responsible for each of the measures This should include how the change is to be effectively communicated to the workforce and other affected persons (such as contractors, sub-contractors, customers, and vendors). Special competence requirements must also be considered and completed prior to implementation of the changes. The MoC approver shall assess whether any proposed change requires a prestart up review to confirm that the MoC system has been correctly applied, that the change is safe to commission and that it meets applicable legal obligations. Records, procedures and drawings shall be updated to reflect the MoC. MoC systems shall be designed to ensure that all actions are closed out and achieves the necessary effect. The results of the review should be well documented and retained for future verification. This is important even if the review did not require any additional action to be taken. MoC report, using template in appendix 6, shall be developed describing the following sections: Participants Risk assessment method Accept criteria Actions: summary and number of identified actions/barriers. Assumptions: number of established assumptions. Drawings: summary of drawings utilized. Documents: summary of documentation utilized. References The approver shall sign completed MoC report to indicate acceptance or nonacceptance of the review findings. The MoC leader must ensure documentation of the risk evaluation in accordance with Appendix 5 Risk Assessment Table documentation of measures identified as part of the risk evaluation in Tr@ction The MoC report together with measures identified shall be recorded in Traction under Other events, Event type: MoC. The Traction shall be recorded under the specific asset or if of general nature under BUR (Business Unit Resources). Traction list of Management of Change processes shall be reviewed at least annually to assess cumulative impact of all changes. The use of MoC-system shall be assessed by processes which:
