0. Introduction to the HRA report
The Health Risk Assessment (HRA) report is used by PDO to process and store health related information. The report starts with a description of the scope of the HRA and the persons involved in sections 1 and 2. The remedial actions from the HRA are presented in report section 3, and are sorted by priority. Section 4 provides information from the detailed appraisals. The focus here is on High and Medium RAM rated risks. Section 5 provides an overview of generally applicable controls and recovery measures. Section 6 lists the status of the Low RAM rated risks that were reviewed during the HRA. The report concludes with definitions and a diagram of the RAM risk matrix in appendices 1 and 2.
1. HRA Project Scope
The existing MAF Area fire fighting system is over 40 years old and laden with frequent leakages
on the fire ring main as well as inherent equipment capacity shortfalls (e.g. existing firewater
pumps can only deliver 60% of their design capacity)
Considering the current use of seawater as firewater media, aggressive corrosion is noted in the
firewater system components such as valves, hydrants, foam skids, deluge nozzles etc. The crude
storage tank shells are highly susceptible to pitting corrosion in view of impingements from
seawater during tank cooling and deluge system testing and leakages due to failed valves.
The project objective is to upgrade the fire fighting system at the MAF Tank Farm Area. The
Project will replace the seawater firewater media with treated water, sourced from public water
supply. All existing GRE/CS piping ring mains will be replaced with GRE to ensure robustness of
system integrity
Scope Outline – Upper Tank Farm (UTF):
2 x New Firewater Pumps (n+1 principle) @544kW, 795m3/hr 2x New Jockey Pumps @7kW, 15m3/hr 1 x New Fire Water Tank of 6,150 m3 Replace existing 1 x Foam Skid Replace all fire water ring mains (w/GRE) including valves, Hydrants & Monitors. Inter-linking
Piping between UTF-LTF Scope Outline – Lower Tank Farm (LTF):
3 x New Firewater Pumps (n+1 principle) @483kW, 795m3/hr 2x New Jockey Pumps @7.8kW, 15m3/hr 2 x New Firewater Tank of 5,200 m3 Capacity 1 x New In-situ Concrete Fresh-water Top-up Tank of 1,000 m3 3 x New Pumps for tank filling @16.3kW, 20m3/hr Replace 4 x Foam Skids Replace all fire water ring mains (GRE) including valves, Hydrants & Monitors (LTF,PRA,
ETP..Etc.,) Inter-linking Piping between LTF-UTF.

Appendix 1: Definitions Acute Health Effect Health Effect that occurs immediately or a short time (seconds to hours) following exposure, such as heat stroke, chemical burns and asphyxiation. Agent See Hazard ALARP - As Low As Reasonably Practicable The point at which the cost (in time, money and effort) of further Risk reduction is grossly disproportionate to the Risk reduction achieved. Barrier A Risk Control or a Recovery Measure. Barriers provide the means of preventing an Event or Incident, or of mitigating the Consequences. A Barrier can be an item of equipment or a human intervention, and can also be a Control on an Escalation Factor. Chronic Health Effect Health Effect that occurs gradually over a long period of time (months or years), generally following repeated and prolonged exposure. In specific cases a short term exposure may result in a chronic health effect. Consequence An Effect on people, assets, the environment or reputation as a result of a Hazard being released. Control A means of preventing an Incident. Controls can be engineering, procedural or behavioural. Critical Activity An activity necessary for the development, implementation or maintenance of a Barrier established for managing Hazards with RAM red Risks. Effect The Consequence of the release of a Hazard. Escalation Factor A situation, condition or circumstance that may lead to the partial or full failure of a Barrier. Event An Incident that occurs when a Hazard is released. Exposure Limit The airborne concentration of chemical agents and levels of physical agents to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse Effect. Exposure Rating The chance of over-exposure to a health hazard when compared against agreed control standards. The exposure rating is evaluated as Very Low, Low, Medium or High. Hazard An agent with the potential to cause harm to people, damage to Assets, or an Impact on the environment or reputation. Health Hazard A factor of a physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic or psychological nature with the potential to cause harm to the health of people. HRA - Health Risk Assessment

25
A process of identifying, evaluating, controlling and managing Health Risks, associated with work to prevent acute and chronic health Effects. Incident An unplanned Event or chain of Events that has, or could have, resulted in injury or illness or damage to Assets, the environment or reputation. Likelihood The probability that a specified Consequence will happen. OEL – Occupational Exposure Limit The airborne concentration of chemical agents and levels of physical agents to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effect. RAM - Risk Assessment Matrix A tool used to assess the Consequences and Risks of Hazards to HSSE. The results are referred to as a RAM Severity rating and a RAM Risk rating. Recovery Measure A Barrier that reduces the Consequences of the release of a Hazard as a result of an Incident. Recovery Measures can be engineering, procedural or behavioural measures. Remedial Action Plan RAP - A Plan to implement corrective action items. Risk The combination of the Consequence of a specific Hazard being released and the Likelihood of it happening. Risk Assessment The process of identifying the Consequences of the Worst Case Credible Scenario arising from the release of a Hazard, and estimating the Likelihood of that scenario. Severity A level of Consequence on the RAM on a scale of 0 to 5. TBD To be determined.
