1. INTRODUCTION

The inter-related activities of blasting and painting are carried out extensively on virtually allBSC assets and are done to renew, restore and maintain the surface coatings which protectstructures, plant and equipment from corrosion and damage.

Blasting is done by entraining special abrasive in an airstream and directing that streamagainst the surface to be prepared, in the process removing existing coatings, corrosion andscale. Painting uses materials, often containing volatile solvents, pumped at high pressuresto apply coatings to surfaces prepared by blasting or by other means such as washing or wirebrushing. There are obvious hazards associated with both activities and they include thefollowing:

� injury risk from the blasting and painting processes.

� injury risk resulting from blasting holes or exposed in live pipelines.

� health risk from exposure to harmful substances.

� flammable atmospheres from spray painting processes.

� ignition sources from discharged static electricity.

Application of the standard in this document will protect personnel from the inherent risksassociated with blasting and painting activities, and will ensure appropriate controls are inplace to properly manage known risks.

This standard covers all aspects of blasting and painting wherever it is carried out and followsthe basic structure shown below:

� the people involved

� the equipment used

� the materials used

� activity controls

Note that the only type of blasting referred to in this module is the type described above.Another type of blasting, in which water is pumped at very high pressure through jets, isseparately covered in Module 25 - High Pressure Water Jetting.

The Process Owner of this module is SCO (EPM, SES/3, LEN)

Screens shall be placed to prevent abrasive and dust from abrasive blasting operations affect-ing nearby buildings, installations, roads, etc.

The Contractor shall ensure the protection of equipment. If adequate protection cannot beachieved, the area will be considered unsuitable for abrasive blasting operations and alterna-tive methods of surface preparation employed, e.g. needle guns, solvents, wire brushes andchipping hammers.

The requirements for protection shall also apply during painting and the Contractor shallensure equipment protection against paint splashes and overspray. Wherever possible, spraypainting shall be carried out at a safe distance from other occupied areas, buildings andcarparks. Worksites shall be barriered off and warning signs placed at boundary limits.

Firefighting capability shall be provided e.g. portable fire extinguishers dry chemical typeplaced in the vicinity of air compressors and abrasive blasting and painting worksites.

2.4.3 Height Access

When access to blasting and painting workfaces is provided by conventional scaffolding, onlystructures certified by a scaffolding company on contract to BSC shall be used. The Contrac-tor shall ensure that an accurate requirement for scaffolding is identified in advance of itbeing needed. The intended use and loadings will require to be clearly specified (refer to HSEStandard Module 06 - Scaffolding and Access).

Before start of work each day, Painting Supervisors shall check that the green faces of theSCAFFTAGs on scaffold structures are showing and that the weekly scaffold inspection recordis up to date.

When working on scaffold structures, painters shall ensure:

� materials are raised and lowered using ropes. Do not throw them.

� materials are not stacked higher than working platform guardrails.

� access ways are kept clear at all times.

� working platforms are not overloaded; allowance shall be made for the added weight ofspent grit.

� temporary lighting, if required, is suitable for flammable atmospheres and is working prop-erly.

� ladders are secure and used only for working platform access.

� wheels on mobile towers are locked before men go on the tower.

� scaffold to be earthed to avoid static charges build-up.

Approval for height access using means other than conventional scaffolding will require to beobtained from line supervision prior to execution of the work.

2.4.4 Personal Protective Equipment

Abrasive Blasting

The action of abrasive blasting produces flying abrasive, debris and dust in the immediatevicinity of the activity and operators must be provided with and use appropriate protectionagainst these hazards.

In addition to the personal protective equipment requirements for boots, coverall, upper bodyprotection and gauntlets, protection shall be given by the use of air-fed helmets with a con-stant supply of breathing quality air. The addition of an air cooler to maintain the air supplywithin an acceptable temperature range is strongly recommended. Also recommended is theuse of visor outer surface 'tear-offs' in acetate or similar material to enable operators to main-tain full visibility.

Painting

The action of spray painting produces airborne paint particles in the form of a mist which cancause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs and may possibly lead to more severehealth problems.

As well as the basic personal protective equipment requirements referred to previously, pro-tection for painters shall be given in open air and confined space circumstances as follows:

� Open air Filter mask or cartridge type respirator and shielded or baffled goggles.

� Confined space Air-fed helmet.

For full details of all requirements for personal protection, refer to HSE Standards Module 02- Personal Protective Equipment.

2.4.5 Confined Spaces

Full details of the requirements for working in confined spaces are given in HSE StandardsModule 7 - Confined Spaces. In addition to these requirements, the following points shall beobserved:

� Ventilation of confined spaces must be sufficient to ensure all parts of the work site areadequately ventilated. Particular attention must be paid to tank and vessel bottoms whereheavier-than-air vapours may accumulate.

� Paint solvents have different characteristics to hydrocarbon gases. Since gas test metersare calibrated to methane,readings taken in an atmosphere contaminated by the baseconstituent of the paint solvent in use, e.g. toluene, xylene, must be subject to an appro-priate conversion factor to give a more accurate LEL percentage.

For information on correction factors, see Appendix 1.

� Solvent absorbent filter masks may be used by inspectors and visitors to the work siteprovided a separate test is carried out with a certificate issued prior to entry and theirexposure is:

� no more than 5 minutes per occurence and

� no more than an accumulated 30 minutes per day.

� Operating and maintenance instructions for air-fed helmets and instructions for total usetime of solvent absorbent filters must be available on site.

Page 11: Blasting and Painting MODULE

THE BRUNEI SHELL COMPANIES HSE StandardMay 2000

Module 32 - Blasting and Painting

Page 11 of 16

� Limit the number of painters inside confined space to avoid air-fed hose entangling.

� Solvent absorbent filter masks must be discarded and properly disposed of after use totaluse time has expired.

� When solvents are being used, Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Escape Sets (10 minutetype) must be kept immediately available just outside the confined space.

� Sufficient pneumatic lighting must be provided to ensure clear access way for blasters andpainters performing the work.

2.4.6 Work on Live Systems

Live systems are hydrocarbon production systems, offshore and onshore, comprising wells,pipework and vessels through which oil and/or gas is, or may be flowing.

Offshore, work on live systems happens frequently and is carried out in accordance with thepolicy and procedures for Concurrent Production and Painting Activities (CPPA), documentreference TMS0569.

Work on live systems onshore happens regularly and is controlled through application of thePermit to Work Procedure.

In either case, work on live systems shall be carried out only if:

� abrasive blasting and painting can immediately be stopped for operator access to the facil-ity or when the wind direction is unfavourable.

� the state of corrosion of the facility does not present a significant danger. Recent NDTinspection reports may provide valuable information which can be used to help decidewhether blasting should proceed.

� there are no spark producing operations in progress, e.g. grinding, welding, etc.

� there are no turbine, engine, compressor or ventilation intakes in the immediate work area.

� operators can quickly and easily reach kill buttons and switches.

The Asset Holder shall decide whether it is safe to keep systems live while abrasive blast-ing, power cleaning or painting is carried out. After permission to carry out these activitieshas been given, the Asset Holder shall have the responsibility to ensure the continuingsafe condition of the facility.

2.4.7 Health and Hygiene

The information provided on MSDSs and SHOC cards is designed to protect the health ofpersons working with the substances and shall always be observed.

If paint spray is inhaled, penetrates the skin or enters the eyes, medical attention must beobtained immediately. Also, any unusual effects experienced during painting such as dizzi-ness, nausea or a burning sensation in the eyes shall be reported to a Painting Supervisorimmediately and medical attention obtained.

In all cases of medical attention being needed, an Incident Report (Omnisafe) shall be raisedin accordance with HSE Standards Module 30 - Incident Classification and Reporting, Mod-ule 31 - Incident Investigation Procedures.

Where there is a risk of solvent splashes on the skin, wash it down thoroughly with runningwater and barrier creams should be applied and gloves worn. The use of thinners, solvents orsimilar substances for removing paint from the skin is prohibited and wherever possible,proprietary skin cleansers should be used.

Module 32 - Blasting and Painting

HSE Standard THE BRUNEI SHELL COMPANIESMay 2000Page 12 of 15

� Maintain good housekeeping on platform and vessel at all time.

2.4.8 Safe Practices

Safety shall be ensured through the following practices:

� Operate equipment at the lowest pressure necessary to achieve the required quality. Neverexceed the Safe Working Pressure of the equipment.

� Conduct compressor air supply breathing air tests for carbon monoxide, carbon dioxideand oil mist not exceeding recommended value for health risk protection.

� Drain down the filter used in the breathing quality air supply to air-fed helmets. A slight,continuous drain from the drain on the bottom of the filter body is recommended.

� Carry out servicing or adjustment of equipment only after it has been depressurised.

� Release the system pressure, close all isolating valves and open drains and vents beforedisconnecting any part of the system.

� Never point a blasting or spray gun at a person.

� Check that the spray gun fan guard is in place before spraying.

� Always engage the trigger safety catch when work is interrupted.

� Always carry a blasting or spray gun by the handle with fingers removed from the trigger.

� Clean up any spillage of abrasive, paint, thinners, solvent and detergent immediately itoccurs and dispose of cleaning material correctly.

� At offshore locations, establish and maintain radio communication between the barge orwork boat and the Painting Supervisor on the platform.

� Maintain good housekeeping on platform and vessel at all time.
