Consequence Welding fumes are very hazardous to health resulting in respiratory diseases; also welding flame can result in eye arching. 9. Un calibrated LEL detection system It was observed that fixed LEL detector installed at plant area was not calibrated. Its calibration due date was expired but yet it was not calibrated. Consequence LEL detectors provide early warning in case of LEL leakage. As detector is not calibrated hence it is not reliable. So in case of LEL leakage it can be disastrous. 10. Chemical Hazard. It was observed that different chemicals having different nature like glycol, MEA and Sun oil were stored at same location without partition/segregation. Consequence All chemicals have different nature and one of them can act as ignition source for other which might be cause of fire. 11. Welfare Facilities.

___________________________________________________________________________ Introduction: This report follows an inspection of Balkassar Field of Pakistan Oil Fields on January 05, 2014 in order to meet the requirements of the Nebosh IGC-3 practical application. The areas concerned with this inspection are the oil and gas production and storage facility. Also associated workshops were inspected. The premise was occupied by up to 48 staff members at any one time. Staff work was compromised of day and night shifts.

Executive Summary: In General the attitude of the Organization towards health and safety was excellent. Pakistan Oil Fields Limited has set up proper HSE policy and HSE management system was in place. Proper HSE orientation system was in place for visitors. Welfare facilities provided for workers were very good and as per requirement. However it was found that there were several areas of concern which lead to breaches of the Health and Safety regulations. The health and safety of the employees who are using the premises may also be at risk if some of these concerns are not addressed immediately. Failure to address these issues may lead to attention and possible enforcement action from statutory bodies. A detailed survey report is attached. Some points are required to be addressed which need prompt attention to avoid any accident/mishap.

Main Findings of Inspection:



Observation # 01 regarding Fire Fighting Equipment shortage

It was observed that only 04 nos. of fire extinguishers DCP-25 Kg were placed at the site where many combustible materials were scattered and were being used at the site. This quantity of DCP fire extinguisher is totally in adequate. Sir, this is against the ILO regulation of fire fighting equipments at work place. On the other hand it will not save many innocent persons because the current quantity of fire extinguishers is totally inadequate and is not enough to cope any emergency. In case of any fatality company will have to face penalties if legal notices.

Observation # 02 regarding poor hygienic condition

It was observed that workers were linking contaminated water which was store in a poorly maintained water cooler. It can cause health problem which will reduce worker’s effect can also effect overall performance. Furthermore company has to bear medical compensation cost for the individuals. It is also against ILO regulation regarding hygiene conditions at work site.



Observation # 09 regarding calibration of LEL detection system

It was observed that Fixed LEL detector installed at plant was not calibrated. Calibration due date was December 13, 2013 but yet it was not calibrated. In case of LEL leakage & Wrong detection by sensors can result in disaster as emergency siren system is connected with detectors. . Also this is against the ILO-regulations of LEL handling.



Observation # 12 regarding Confined Space Entry

It was observed that sludge cleaning was carried out in crude oil tank; one person was working inside tank without any safety harness/ lanyard for escape. Secondly no attendant was present outside tank. Worth mentioning is that it was crude tank and crude contains traces of dissolved H2S. Confined space entry without safety protection can result in fatal accident. Also this is against the ILOregulation of confined space entry procedures.



Observation # 18 regarding High Noise

It was observed that workers were working at maintenance shop without any ear protection although area was marked with 110dB as High noise area. Continuous exposure in high noise can cause serious health problems for workers. Also it is against the ILO regulation of noise control.
