1.0 Purpose, Objectives and Scope

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Safe Work Practices (SWP) Standard is to provide minimum requirements and
general information about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE); and assure that Chevron Nigeria
Limited Joint Venture (CNL JV) personnel can identify when PPE is necessary and select the
appropriate equipment for the potential hazard.

1.2 Objectives
CNL JV requires the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by all company and
contract employees throughout its operations.
CNL JV provides appropriate PPE to company employees based on their location, job responsibilities
and exposure. Supervisors should ensure new hires, and transferred employees, are aware and
understand the requirements for their area and work locations.
Contractors shall provide all necessary PPE to their employees.

1.3 Scope
This SWP Standard provides guidance on PPE selection, maintenance, usage and replacement for
various elements of CNL JV operations. The PPE provided and used are in accordance with Nigeria
Mineral Oils (Safety) Regulations 1997, based on international approved standards organization, and
provides sufficient protection to ensure employees are not exposed to potential workplace hazards.

2.0 General PPE Requirements

Appropriate PPE will be provided for ear, eye, face, foot, head, hand, and body protection. General
PPE is an important aspect of daily field operations. Employees, supervisors and HES personnel shall
use the following guidelines for general PPE to ensure that employees are protected during their daily
work activities.
Contractors are expected to furnish all personal protective equipment for their employees.
Occasionally, equipment may be damaged or lost while performing a job. To facilitate completion of
a job, items not requiring specialized inspection, testing or calibration such as hard hats, gloves, safety
glasses, face shields, goggles, ear plugs, aprons may be provided to a contractor with appropriate
Superintendents approval.
However, respirators or breathing systems, H2S or tri-sensing monitors, fall protection, rescue
harnesses, electrical gloves, insulating devices and testing equipment and other PPE requiring
specialized inspection, testing, or calibration shall not be provided to a contractor except when
responding to an emergency, or with CNL JV Management and HES approval.

3.0 PPE Hazard Identification

A PPE Hazard Identification assessment, such as a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) must be performed to
identify the potential hazards to the body (eye, face, head, ears, hands, and feet) in workplace facilities
and prior to performing work. This assessment determines the appropriate PPE (clothing, respiratory
protection, protective shields and barriers) to protect against the potential hazards identified. Hazard
identification shall consider the following Energy Sources when selecting PPE:
Gravity (The force caused by the attraction of all other masses to the mass of the earth.
Examples: falling object, collapsing roof, and a body tripping or falling)

pneumatic and hydraulic equipment)
Temperature (The measurement of differences in the thermal energy of objects or the
environment, which the human body senses as either heat or cold. Examples: open flame;
ignition sources; hot or cold surfaces, liquids or gases; steam; friction; and general
environmental and weather conditions)
Chemical (The energy present in chemicals that inherently, or through reaction, has the
potential to create a physical or health hazards to people, environment or equipment.
Examples: flammable vapours, reactive hazards, carcinogens or other toxic compounds,
corrosives, pyrophorics, combustibles, oxygen-deficient atmospheres, welding fumes, and
dusts)
Biological (Living organisms that can present a hazard. Examples: animals, bacteria, viruses,
insects, blood-borne pathogens, improperly handled food, and contaminated water)
Radiation (The energy emitted from radioactive elements or sources and naturally occurring
radioactive materials (NORM). Examples: lighting issues, welding arcs, solar rays,
microwaves, lasers, X-Rays, and NORM scale)
Sound (Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibratethe energy is
transferred through the substance in waves. Examples: equipment noise, impact noise,
vibration, high-pressure release, and the impact of noise to communication)

4.0 PPE Design, Maintenance, Reliability and Serviceability

All PPE shall be of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and ASTM International, or
equivalent international organization, approved design and construction, appropriate for the work
performed, protection required and potential hazards present in the workplace. CNL JV provides PPE
and employees will use and maintain all PPE in sanitary and reliable condition. Whenever PPE
becomes unserviceable, employees shall immediately replace it prior to further use. Unserviceable
PPE shall be rendered unusable by cutting, defacing or destroying it so that it cannot be used again or
returned to service.

5.0 Training
Training should be conducted and documented on all PPE provided by CNL JV and include this SWP
Standard. Training should cover the following:
1. When PPE is necessary;
2. What PPE is necessary;
3. How to properly don, doff, adjust and wear PPE;
4. The limitations of the PPE; and,
5. The proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of the PPE.
Each employee should demonstrate an understanding of this training and the ability to use PPE
properly before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE.
Employees, who have already been trained, should be retrained when there is reason to believe that
they do not have the required understanding and skill. Circumstances where retraining is required
include, but are not limited to:

Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete, or

Changes in the types of PPE render previous training obsolete; or
Inadequacies in an employees knowledge or use of assigned PPE indicating that they have not
retained the necessary understanding or skill.

6.0 Body Protection

6.1 General Clothing

Employees working or visiting in field operations, drilling or workover operations or other
locations which may have flammable hazards present, clothing and undergarments of
natural materials are suggested. (Cotton or wool fibers) Natural fibers provide good
protection during a fire event, whereas man-made fibers (nylon and polyester) may melt
and increase injury potential.
Employees working in areas where Fire Resistant Clothing (FRC) is required shall be
informed and provided clothing, as appropriate.
Contractors must follow all of the same PPE requirements as CNL JV personnel including
the FRC guidelines in this procedure. If fire resistant clothing is required, contracts must
state: Contractors shall provide and wear their own Fire Resistant Clothing.
Very loose or ragged clothing will not be worn.
Long pants extending below the ankle area are required for working in field locations.
Long sleeve shirts are highly recommended to protect the skin from abrasions and exposure
to sunlight.
Shirttails should be kept tucked in with buttons kept buttoned up the front and on cuffs of
long sleeves.
Sleeveless shirts and tank tops are not allowed in production and hydrocarbon processing
areas.
Clothing, including shoes, that becomes saturated with crude oil, condensate, solvents or oil
field chemicals should be removed immediately to prevent skin irritation or to prevent a
fire hazard. The saturated clothing should be cleaned prior to reuse or properly disposed
of.
CNL JV will furnish chemical aprons or overcoats for handling chemicals.
Tour groups/visitors shall be provided with hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, and
personal flotation devices as necessary. They should wear enclosed, low-heel shoes, long
pants and a shirt. Exceptions to this SWP Standard for visitors will be at the discretion of
the on-site Person-in-Charge (PIC).

6.2 Fire Resistant Clothing (FRC)

All CNL JV and Contractor employees permanently assigned to work in hydrocarbon
processing areas (production platforms, tank farms, crude processing units, dehydration
units, and gas plants) are required to wear approved FRC at all times while in these areas.
Other Company and Contractor employees who normally work in hydrocarbon processing
areas for 20% or more of the time are required to wear FRC at all times while in these
areas.
Any CNL JV and Contractor employee who is performing a specific task where there is the
potential for a flash fire is required to wear FRC. This requirement should be documented
on a General Work Permit or otherwise specified by the facility Supervisor or Person-in-
Charge (PIC).
Casual visitors to hydrocarbon processing areas are not required to wear FRC. However,
their access to these areas should be controlled by the facility Supervisor and they should
be denied entry if there are high-hazard activities or process upsets underway.
All CNL JV and Contractor employees who are issued FRC are expected to wear it at all
times when in hydrocarbon processing areas. FRC will be long-sleeved, and the sleeves
shall not be rolled up.

CNL JV SWP Standard 503 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Approved FRC materials are aramid fiber such as Nomex, cotton treated with the fire-
retardant Proban, or equivalent material that conforms to National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) Standard 2112.

6.3 Jewelry
Jewelry is not a part of PPE, but if worn during certain field operations, may cause serious injury.
It is highly recommended that all rings, necklaces, and dangling earrings be removed when
working in the field. Rings should be removed when working in areas where they could catch on
moving equipment (rotating shafts, belts, pulleys, etc.), sharp protrusions or may come in contact
with electrical circuits. Employee shall not wear jewelry when working on live electrical circuits.

7.0 Specific PPE

Appropriate PPE will be provided for ear, eye, face, foot, head, hand, and body protection. ANSI
Standards, ASTM International Standard F2413-05 or international approved standards organization
approved hard hats, safety protective shoes, and eye protection with side shields (or wraparound
sides) shall be worn in all field locations, drilling and workover operations, outdoor pipe or equipment
storage areas, and shop areas. This requirement generally does not include offices, or adjacent
parking areas. CNL JV management will make determinations where PPE is not required because no
hazards exist.

7.1 Head Protection (Hard Hat)

Employees, contractors and visitors shall wear hard hats when working in or visiting field
operation, drilling and workover operations and other locations.
Hard hat use may also be appropriate while engaged in work for CNL JV at non-CNL JV
locations and shall be mandatory where falling object or head impact hazards are present.
CNL JV will furnish Class E hard hats that meet the requirements of ANSI Z89.1. Class E
hard hats are intended to reduce the force of impact of falling objects and have the highest
electrical contact rating (20,000 volts.)
Hard hats shall be non-metallic.
Hard hats should be worn squarely on the head and not cocked to one side or worn in the
reverse position.
Hard hats will be equipped, if needed, with an appropriate chinstrap when performing tasks
that would cause an unsecured hard hat to fall off.
Welders are not required to wear hard hats while welding, but welders are required to wear
hard hats at all other times in the field.
Hard hats shall be protected from contamination from chemicals and oils. They should be
stored, when not in use, away from direct sunlight to protect the hat material from
ultraviolet radiation degradation.
Periodically, test each hard hat by gently flexing the brim sides of the hat. If a popping or
crackling noise is heard, the hat should be immediately replaced. The material has
hardened, is degraded, and the impact resistance is greatly reduced.
Any hard hat that is cracked or damaged in any way, or is showing signs of significant wear
and tear or weathering, should be replaced immediately.
Hard hats must not be altered (drilled, riveted, or painted) in any way.
Clean hard hat assembly regularly with mild soap (no detergents) and warm water. Hard
hats must be cleaned regularly so they can be adequately inspected. A clean suspension
also helps to avoid skin irritation.
Do not throw, drop, or use the hard hat as a support. Like any piece of specialized
equipment, hard hats must not be abused.
Inspect the hard hat regularly and replace it or suspension as necessary.
Always replace the hard hat after it has withstood an impact or penetration.
Hard hats are available from warehouse stock.

7.2 Face Protection

Face protection must be worn when there is a potential for hazards from flying objects,
chemical handling, during chipping and grinding, and arc welding operations.
Full-face shields shall be worn when handling caustic chemicals, grinding, chipping or wire
brushing where flying materials can strike the face.
Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields (or wraparound sides) must be worn in
combination (underneath) with full-face shields to protect the eyes when performing the
tasks listed in the sentence above.
Full-face shields are not a substitute for safety glasses.
Employees performing or observing arc welding operations can burn the retina of the eye
and cause skin burns similar to sunburn, so shall wear a full face welder helmet when arc
welding or observing welding operations (even reflected flashes from arc welding can be
damaging to the eyes, so use protection at all times.).

7.3 Eye Protection

Eye protection is mandatory when entering or working in locations where potential eye
hazards exist, including all construction work sites. Supervisors should determine which
locations and activities require eye protection, and then post signs, establish procedures,
and train employees to ensure that proper protection is worn (see Table 1: Recommended
Eye Protection).
Eye protection equipment must meet ANSI Z87.1 or an equivalent internationally
recognized standard.
All Contractors shall comply with CNL JV protective eyewear practices and supply their
employees with appropriate prescription and non-prescription eye protection.
CNL JV will provide visitors with appropriate non-prescription eye protection when
visiting areas where the potential for eye hazards exist.
Safety goggles shall be worn in areas where there are eye hazards caused by particulates,
which might result from activities such as striking one object against another, wire
brushing, buffing, chipping, grinding, cutting wire, welding, working with rusty or dirty
equipment, or bleeding down a pressure line or vessel.
Safety goggles must also be worn in areas where there are potential eye hazards caused by
spraying or splashing of liquids or chemicals.
Safety eyeglasses are not safety goggles. Safety goggles shall be worn over safety
eyeglasses when the work being performed requires safety goggles.
Non-prescription safety glasses, chemical goggles, chipping goggles, face shields, etc., are
available from warehouse stock.

7.3.1 Prescription Eyewear

NMA BU will provide both Nigerian and expatriate company employees with vision testing
and prescription eyewear, if required, as a CNL JV Company benefit for persons exposed to
eye hazards while working. Employees eligible for company-supplied prescription eyewear are
entitled to one pair of corrective eyewear every two years. Employees must pay for
replacement of lost or broken eyewear.
The HR/Medical group requires superintendent approval before filling protective eyewear
prescriptions. The HR/Medical group will send the form, and pertinent details, to the
appropriate supervisor after an employee is examined and found to need protective prescription
eyewear. With prior supervisor approval, expatriate employees and Personal Service
Contractors may purchase prescription protective eyewear at home and bring them to work.
CNL JV will provide reasonable reimbursement for this eyewear via expense report charged to
the employees cost center, but will not reimburse for examination or other fees associated with
acquiring the eyewear.
Ophthalmologist Consultation
Ophthalmologic Nurses are available in Company Clinics for routine (non-emergency)
consultation. Such consultations are exclusively for NMA BU employees and their legal
dependents.
Obtaining Corrective & Prescription Protective Eyewear
To obtain prescription eyewear, schedule an appointment at the Clinic. The Clinic contracts
with an optometrist service to examine employees vision at periodic intervals; an appointment
is required. When an employee requires corrective lenses, a current prescription (within one
year) is required. The Clinic has a selection of sample frames and lenses for eyewear from
which employees can choose.
Replacement
Prescription eyewear will be replaced only where there is ophthalmologic evidence that the
employees prescription has changed or under extenuating circumstances such as broken or lost
glasses. These extenuating circumstances require superintendent approval before the Clinic
will reorder eyewear. Employees must pay for replacement due to lost or broken eyewear.
Use of Contact Lenses
All Company and contract personnel who wear contact lenses shall use the following guidelines
for eye protection:
Notify your Supervisor if you normally wear contact lenses.
Wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields over contact lenses in areas
where eye protection is required.
Keep a spare pair of contact lenses or prescription glasses readily available in case you
lose your primary pair.
Questions regarding vision testing and/or obtaining prescription eyewear should be addressed to
the HR/Medical group. Questions regarding application of Eye Protection as PPE should be
addressed to HES.

7.3.2 UV (Ultra Violet) Protection for Welders and Assistants

Never look directly at a welding arc. Always shield your eyes from the rays, even rays being
reflected from other surfaces such as sheet metal or water. Employees helping or working near
arc welders shall wear UV-blocking goggles.

Employees shall maintain this equipment in serviceable condition and replace it when
worn, soiled or degraded.
Ear Protection Required signs (or equivalent) shall be posted at the entrance of all high-
noise areas. High-noise areas are locations where continuous or intermittent noise is 85
decibels (dBA) or more.
Hearing protection devices (earplugs and/or earmuffs) must be worn by all employees and
visitors in all posted areas and in other areas with obvious high noise levels (operating
cranes, flares, etc.).
Hearing protection devices shall be worn by all passengers on helicopters and by all
personnel on the decks of work boats and crew boats while underway.
Hearing protection for use by employees and visitors shall be provided by CNL JV at all
heliports, docks, offshore platforms, and other high-noise areas.
Refer to the Industrial Hygiene SWP Standard 801 for more detailed information.

7.5 Respiratory Protection

Supervisors shall ensure that employees understand respiratory protection requirements in
their work areas and shall enforce the use of respirators where required. Jobs that typically
require the use of respiratory protection include painting, confined space entry, sand
blasting, and handling chemicals and pesticides.
CNL JV employees must receive medical clearance before using any cartridge-type or
supplied air respiratory protection. This medical clearance should confirm that employees
do not have pre-existing medical conditions and are not taking medication that prevents
them from using the equipment safely.
Supervisors shall also ensure that employees receive respiratory protection training and fit
testing before performing jobs that require respiratory protection.
Refer to the Respiratory Protection SWP Standard 802 for more detailed information.

7.6 Hand Protection (Gloves)

Use cotton or leather gloves when handling tools and equipment.
Gloves should not be worn around machinery with unguarded rotating parts.
When handling inorganics such as acids, caustic soda, soda ash, and calcium chloride, use
butyl, nitrile, or neoprene chemical protective gloves.
When handling organics such as crude oil, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, mineral spirits,
Stoddard solvents, and other cleaning agents, use nitrile chemical protective gloves.
Contact your Supervisor or your local HES representative if you are uncertain about which
gloves to use for protection from chemicals.
Protective gloves are available from warehouse stock.

7.7 Foot Protection (Safety Footwear)

All personnel (CNL JV and contractor) working at CNL JV facilities are expected to wear safety
footwear when appropriate.
7.7.1 Eligibility
Eligibility for safety footwear is on as-need basis, not as an entitlement. It is the responsibility
of each employee to properly care for their issued gear.
CNL JV will provide safety footwear to eligible employees and replace these items as needed.
Eligible employees may obtain safety footwear with a completed Material Requisition when the
employee(s) can demonstrate to his supervisors satisfaction that he needs new pair of safety
footwear. The requisition must be approved by the supervisor. The old safety footwear being
replaced will be surrendered to the supervisor for disposal upon collection of a new pair.

CNL JV will provide safety footwear for employees. Contractors shall provide safety footwear
for their employees.
Visitors to facilities are not required to wear safety footwear unless they engage in work that
exposes them to foot hazards. Visitors not wearing safety footwear must be escorted by a CNL
JV representative, and keep away from potentially hazardous area. For example, nurses on
duty at Escravos production facilities may wear covered shoes in lieu of safety footwear when
their visits are limited to the bunker/galley area. This is also applicable to other employees on
relief duties whose activities are limited to office environment; example: HR, IT,
Administrative Staff, Accountants, Security, Purchasing and Office Support Staff.
7.7.2 Safety Footwear Criteria
In developing footwear criteria, consideration was given to the following shoe and boot
characteristics: chemical resistance, outsole type, height and shape, heel type, durability,
traction and water safety.
Safety footwear shall meet ANSI Z41.1 or an equivalent internationally recognized standard.
The footwear must have impact and compression strength toe protection and soles that are
puncture resistant, slip-resistant and oil-resistant. The HES Superintendent and the HES Field
Support Coordinator are responsible for determining the brands and models of safety footwear
to be ordered by the warehouse through the Purchasing section. Use of safety footwear is
mandatory in field operations.
Only footwear included in the current list of approved brands and styles are to be purchased by
Purchasing through the warehouse stock ordering. (See Figure 1, Safety Footwear, for the
approved boot/shoe types). The selection of boot and shoe style from the warehouse stock is
left to the supervisor and employee. In addition to those styles shown in Figure 1, non-metallic
composite toe shoes determined acceptable by the HES Superintendent shall be purchased and
issued to workers who work in high voltage areas or on high voltage equipment.
