Purpose Whenever BP conducts construction, maintenance, demolition, remediation and other similar work that are typical of our industry, there is the potential for harm to people and the environment and for damage to equipment. Therefore, an effective Permit to work process provides a system of work that allows tasks to be completed safely and without unplanned loss of containment with the potential to cause environmental damage or to damage a plant or equipment.

7 A Permit to work system is a key element of the BP Group Defined Practice for Control of work and the BP Golden Rules of Safety. It is a formal documented system used to control certain types of non-routine work which are defined as being hazardous. This procedure sets out a required approach to safely control this work and to comply with the requirements of GDP Control of work and OMS Group Essential This procedure specifically details the requirements of the following documents: Group Defined Practice (GDP); GDP Control of work 2. Scope This procedure applies to BP Oil NZ, and to Air BP ANZ. This procedure does NOT apply to BP Australia MS&L.

8 (Marketing, Supply and Logistics.) The requirement specified in this procedure applies equally to BP employees, contractors and visitors engaged in BP Oil NZ and Air BP ANZ. Specific sites, areas and activities may have more detailed OMS requirements and where these exist the requirements will be specified in local procedures, safe work instructions, manuals, handbooks or specific standards. 3. Terms, Definitions and Abbreviations Table 1 : Terms, Definitions and Abbreviations Accredited Contractors Are those approved by the BP Accredited Contractor System. ANZ Australia and New Zealand Certificates Certificates are documents that define the core preparations required for work to proceed and do not, by themselves, authorise work to proceed.

9 Certificates can be used to manage focused tasks efficiently which are not sufficiently managed by a typical Permit or work clearance ( precautions for ground disturbance). Cold work work that does not introduce a source of ignition.

10 C) Recognise any technical defects or omissions in a task (or equipment) and the adverse implications for health and safety caused by the hazard(s) and / or omission(s); and d) Be able to specify corrective action(s) to mitigate the hazards. Confined Space The Safe work Australia Code of Practice for Confined Spaces, February 2014 provides the most complete definition of a confined space as: A confined space is determined by the hazards associated with a set of specific circumstances and not just because work is performed in a small space. A confined space means an enclosed or partially enclosed space that: a) Is not designed or intended primarily to be occupied by a person; and, b) Is, or is designed or intended to be, at normal atmospheric pressure while any person is in the space; and, c) Is or is likely to be a risk to health and safety from: I.
