How the work is done in oil and gas

Flammable product everywhere and static electricity as the silent enemy. Anything that breaks a line or makes a spark goes through a permit, a measurement and zone classification.

The jobs that set the pace

  • Tanker loading and unloading
  • Line breaking and valve replacement
  • Tank cleaning and management
  • Pump and compressor maintenance
  • Fire main testing

The areas it comes with as standard

  • Storage terminal
  • Truck loading bay
  • Pumping station
  • Gas pressure regulating and metering station
  • Fire main
  • Control room
  • Flare
  • Laboratory
  • Pipeline terminal

Lockout/tagout, with isolation point and verification

The dashboard does not ask “what energies does your equipment have?”: in the oil and gas profile they are already there, each one with where it is isolated and how you check that it is isolated. It is what an inspection asks to see in writing.

The high-risk procedures, written down

Five procedures specific to oil and gas, written in the vocabulary of the sector and available inside the dashboard so you can adapt them to your plant.

Product line break

Double block and bleed, blind flange, drainage to a closed system and LEL below 10 % before loosening anything.

Tank entry

Inerting, ventilation, continuous monitoring and rescue on standby: an “empty” tank never is.

Hot work in a classified area

Permit, continuous monitoring, screening and a one-hour fire watch afterwards.

Tanker loading

Earthing clamp before anything else and a slow initial flow rate: static ignites what the lighter never sees.

Work on the fire protection network

The zoned network is notified, signposted and returned to service with a signature: no water, no plant.

Equipment and reference regulations

Equipment typical of this profile

  • Transfer pump
  • Gas compressor
  • Loading arm
  • Motorised valve
  • Turbine meter
  • Fire pump set
  • Vapour recovery unit
  • Odorising unit

Regulations that frame the work

  • RD 840/2015 · major accidents (Seveso III)
  • RD 681/2003 · explosive atmospheres (ATEX)
  • RD 656/2017 · chemical product storage (APQ)
  • ITC MI-IP 02 · petroleum liquid storage facilities
  • RD 614/2001 · electrical risk

Current references the dashboard uses to organise the documentation. IndustriaKit is a documentation tool: it does not replace the risk assessment or legal advice.

Documentation specific to the sector
  • Seveso safety report
  • Internal emergency plan
  • ATEX zone classification of the site

What the dashboard does with all this

Contractors and coordination of activities

Contractors working on site join free, upload their documentation and the traffic light decides who can work. RD 171/2004 coordination with minutes and signature.

Permits with QR codes

Work permit with a printable notice: in the field it is scanned and signed from a phone. LOTO warning when the job calls for it.

Maintenance and OEE

Queue prioritised by criticality, statutory maintenance schedules with their date, counters based on real usage and an OEE panel per line with a Pareto of stoppages.

Personnel and training

Fitness for work, training and health surveillance by job role, with the medical data kept outside the dashboard by design.
