API St 2220-2011 pdf free download.Contractor Safety Performance Process.
1 General 1.1 Objectives The purpose of this standard is to assist owners and contractors in developing, improving and maintaining their mutual safety programs. Widely diverse contractor functions and uses may include resident, non-resident, long-term and short-term contractors. These have in common the need for effective safety programs to protect both owner and contractor personnel from workplace injury and illness, as well as from losses associated with incidents arising out of contractor work. This standard aims to help both owners and contractors improve the contractor’s safety performance while preserving the independent contractor relationship. It was developed for the petroleum and petrochemical industries and the firms that perform contract work for them. 1.2 Scope Contractors perform greatly varied work within the petroleum and petrochemical industries. Some perform construction and turnaround activities or drilling and well servicing; specialty contractors provide skills and services that are not typically found within an owner’s work force. Contractors may even provide services that augment the peak loads and skills of owners’ work forces, such as in the maintenance and operation of facilities. Since owner sites and contracted work are diverse, this standard may not be applicable to all operations at each company or to all contract work performed in those operations. As such, this publication may not apply to incidental contractors that generally do not affect facility safety, such as those that provide janitorial, laundry and delivery services. This document addresses “conventional” safety and health. It does not address safety concerns associated with security or terrorism issues. 1.3 Elements of a Contractor Safety Management Program A comprehensive contractor safety and health process contains, but is not limited to, the following elements shown in the Figure 1 flow chart: — Potential Contractor Pre-qualification The owner shall use a defined mechanism to pre-qualify contractors for consideration for work at a facility. — Contractors Selected Bidding contractors shall ensure that their employees are qualified to perform the type of work to be done. The selection process shall ensure that the contractor understands the scope of work, and that the contractor meets the site and regulatory safety and health requirements. — Pre-job Verification The owner shall verify that the contractor is familiar with the location, facility, personnel, facility contractor program, hazards, facility requirements and other work information before work begins.
— Monitoring Work-in-Progress The owner shall monitor contractor activities while the work is being conducted, including periodic evaluation of contractor safety and health performance and contractor’s compliance with safety and health requirements. — Work Evaluation At the completion of the contracted work, the owner shall evaluate the overall performance of the contractor and determine if the safety results qualify the contractor to remain on the “bid list” of pre-qualified contractors. — Corrective Action After evaluating contractor performance, the owner determines whether changes in the contractor safety program are necessary based on work evaluations of contractor performance, and then implements these as revisions of the basic contractor management system. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
