One foreman and two workers were replacing a 3” valve on the separator in Sub centre 16. They were wearing Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Shortly after starting the work the foreman went out of the scaffold platform on to the separator top and fell down (approx.7 meters) to the ground. He suffered fractures on his spine and neck.
Select only trained and competent people to perform work requiring specialized breathing apparatus
An airline/cascade breathing system must be used for work when it is known H2S is present. Use SCBA for emergency/rescue situations only.
Do not allow anyone except yourself to adjust air valves on the breathing apparatus
Inspect the work site to observe and verify permit conditions before approving and signing the work permit
When the scope of work changes hold a meeting with involved parties to prepare and agree on a plan that addresses job hazards and steps to mitigate risk
Do not attempt to repair or remove valves under pressure
Activate Stop Work Authority until a job is adequately planned and clearly communicated, pre-job risk assessment understood, workers sufficiently trained, and vessel depressurized.
Take time to develop a comprehensive JSA that has been reviewed and understood by all parties involved

IMCO conducted a Behavior Based Safety (BBS) Campaign by reporting and recognizing the best practices among their workforce. As part of this campaign best practices of workers were identified and reviewed by JO – PGP representatives and BBS Adviser. Some of the employees were selected for recognition based on the review of best practices. Awards were distributed in presence of JO representatives on 19th July,
Mr. Hussain E. Ismail, President of Kuwait Petroleum International Ltd., visited Joint Operations. He was accompanied by Mr. Khalid Al-Quraini, Head of HSE – KGOC. He toured LSP plant where LSP Operations Specialist Mr. Keith Ronk and Sr. Safety Engineer Mr. Mohammed Abbas explained the process and JO EHS and OE programs and procedures.
What Went Wrong • The foreman attended SCBA training 2 years before
using it for this job. He sought the help of co-worker, who was not formally trained in use of SCBA, to open the air supply valve on his SCBA. A wrong valve was opened which did not allow air flow to face piece.
• The vessel (Separator) contained crude oil and was not fully depressurized. Gas/H2S was released while workers removed the valve.
• Communication between asset owner and job executing group was not clear; job planning, preparation and risk assessment was inadequate.
• JSA was not detailed enough and not discussed with workers performing the job.
• Work permit was issued without site inspection and checking the vessel’s condition
