INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Channelview Complex which consists of two fully integrated facilities: the north side of the complex manufactures ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and benzene for the Lyondell Chemical Company’s Equistar business. The south side uses many of these products to produce propylene oxide, styrene monomer and other derivatives and gasoline-blending products. These products are used in the manufacture of a wide assortment of industrial and consumer products. From this point forward we will refer to the Channelview complex as Lyondell. Learning and using good safety practices at work and at home will make you a safe and healthy Contractor employee. We are proud of our safety record and hope that you realize how important safety is to us. It should be just as important to you; your life may depend on it!

It is our objective to provide employees and contractors safe working conditions and environment. Lyondell provides its employees with the necessary personal protective clothing and equipment to ensure their safety. Contractors working at the Channelview complex are required to ensure that their employees are equipped with personal safety equipment, clothing, tools, and other equipment necessary to do their assigned duties in a safe manner. The clothing and equipment must be in good condition and have current documented inspection. PPE alone cannot prevent accidents, it is through all of our individual efforts that the prevention of incidents will be accomplished.

It is the intent of Lyondell to comply with all Federal, State, Local, and Corporate regulations concerning Occupational Safety and Health, Hazardous Waste Management, and Environmental Controls. We will use reasonable means to make the Channelview Plant a safe place to work for both Lyondell employees and Contract employees. Safety is a value; therefore, all persons in the plant, employees and contractors alike, shall comply with the plant safety rules at all times. Lyondell is recognized as industry-wide leaders in health, safety and environmental performance. This includes the Channelview complex’s recognition from OSHA as a Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) STAR site, which is OSHA’s way of recognizing and rewarding a company for having and maintaining the necessary safety programs to protect the safety and health of their employees. Participating companies are awarded “STAR Certification,” which is the highest award offered by OSHA, after meeting OSHA’s VPP criteria. The Channelview Plant has been a member of this prestigious program since 1993. Lyondell has received recognition from the American Chemistry Council for Responsible Care commitments, and the Texas Chemical Council, to name a few. Lyondell is committed to continuous improvement in safety, security, environmental performance, reliability and open communication. The expectation is that contractors working at this facility follow the rules and requirements set forth in the site procedures. Contractors are expected to demonstrate conscientious health, safety, and environmental commitment. Lyondell is committed to managing and operating the Channelview Plant in

a fashion that protects the health and safety of its employees, contractors, visitors, the public and the environment. This manual will introduce you to plant and company safety, health and environmental policies and procedures designed to ensure your safety and the preservation of the environment. This orientation does not replace the safety, health and environmental training you have received from your employer, nor can it cover in detail all the Health, Safety and Environmental Procedures in place at the Channelview Plant. For additional and more specific guidance regarding any task, procedure, or perceived hazard, be sure to see your supervisor or Channelview Contractor Coordinator.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This Contractor handbook has been developed to ensure that Contractor employees working at the Channelview Plant understand policies and procedures describing the established health, safety, environmental, operational and administrative procedures applicable to all operations in these facilities. This handbook specifies Lyondell’s expectations concerning the standards of behavior and safe work requirements of all contractors working within the facility. Procedures governing interaction with Lyondell employees and site operational systems are also included. These rules are based on the firm belief by Lyondell Management that a safe workplace is essential to the operation of an efficient and well run organization and directly contributes to success in a competitive marketplace.

These rules are general in nature, and are not intended to provide complete and detailed instructions for specific work. Regulations (OSHA, EPA, etc.), Lyondell procedures and policies should be considered minimum requirements. The Contractor is expected to follow generally accepted good industry practices and to develop and follow their own safe work practices. It is the responsibility of the Contractor employer to disseminate and enforce rules with their employees and sub-contractors and to insure that these employees comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES

Ensure that Contractor’s employees are trained in the work practices necessary to perform their job safely. Everyone is responsible for working safely and preventing injuries to yourself and others. Ensure that Contractor’s employees are instructed in the known potential fire, explosion, or toxic release hazards related to their job and the process, and in the applicable provisions of the emergency action plan. Document that each of the Contractor’s employees has received and understands all required training. Documentation includes identification of the Contractor’s employee, the date of training, and the means used to verify that such employee understood the training.

Non-Routine Lift

Critical Lift Approval Guidelines Routine Lifts

Routine lifts present minimal danger to personnel or equipment, i.e. no potential for overload, crane instability, load shift, or other reasonably anticipated risks. All lifts will be planned and a routine lift plan shall be completed and signed by the crane operator. Approval is not required unless lift egresses over operating equipment. This will require a signature from an Operations Representative. Non-Routine Lifts Non-Routine lifts are lifts that fall into the following categories:

Lifts performed with a total load in excess of 25 tons, or greater than 80% but less than 90% of the crane load chart.

Two crane or multiple crane lifts where neither crane achieves 90% of their rated capacities at any point during the lift.

Blind lifts in conjunction with confined space or other blind lifts if deemed necessary by Lifting Supervisor.

All lifts in the proximity of electrical lines.

All lifting using a base mounted drum hoist (air tugger) due to possible setup variations.

Critical Lifts

Page 33: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

28 of 62

Critical lifts are lifts that fall into the following categories:

A hazardous lift, due to a total load of 90% or greater of the crane load chart.

Lifts involving the use of a personnel basket.

Lifts which involve the moving or lifting of equipment or material which has questionable structural integrity (such as demolition). This would include potential inability to bring a load to a safe condition after the lift has started.

Two or multiple crane lifts where either crane reaches or exceeds 90% of the crane capacity as configured.

Any lift deemed “critical” by the lifting supervisor or CHANNELVIEW crane and rigging personnel. Note: This could involve lifts over operating equipment, blind lifts etc…

Crane Operator

The crane operator is responsible for the safe operation of the crane. The crane operator is responsible for refusing a lift if there is a safety concern. The crane operator is responsible for reporting the safety concerns to his/her supervisor, continuing only when all safety concerns are rectified. Operator/Contractor Responsibilities

Must be proficient with crane’s load chart.

Review the manufacturer’s operating manual and load chart, to be aware of all factors that might reduce crane capacity, and adjust crane size or configuration in order to achieve the lift safely.

Crane load charts are based on ideal conditions. These conditions cannot be duplicated in the field. Load chart capacities should never be exercised to the upper load limit. All load chart ratings must be reduced under windy conditions. Avoid handling loads that present large wind catching surfaces in windy conditions. When wind speeds exceed 20 mph, verbal approval must be obtained from the lifting supervisor or delegated competent person. Operating locations must be chosen so no part of the crane or load can move beyond the minimum distances required for power lines. Matting shall be used for all cranes over 15 ton rated capacity. Matting shall be used on cranes of 15 ton rated capacity or less when conditions warrant their use such as unstable, or uneven supporting surfaces. Crane operations shall cease in the event of inclement weather. (e.g. high winds, thunder, lightning) , All crane operators shall barricade the lift and swing area with red barricade tape. Red barricade tape signifies that no entry is permitted without permission of the crane operator or rigger(s). The barricade shall be put up prior to the lift.

CELLULAR PHONES Most cellular phones are not intrinsically safe and can be a potential ignition source during a gas release. In an effort to eliminate potential ignition sources, cellular phones are not to be used in the operating areas of the Channelview Plant and shall be turned OFF. Within the fenced areas of the Plant, cellular phones may be used only inside enclosed vehicles in parking areas or on unrestricted

HEAT STRESS Emergencies can be brought about very quickly by exposure to too much heat. Heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heatstroke are three ways that the body may respond to heat. It is important that everyone is familiar with how to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stress, and know how to respond if you or a fellow worker becomes overheated. If you think you or a fellow worker is having a heat related problem, the first thing to do is alert someone to the problem and remove them or yourself from the heat to a cool place as soon as possible. The most effective defense against heat stress is adequate fluid intake.

UTILITIES Contractor personnel must have the approval of the Operating Unit personnel to use utilities such as Air, Steam, Water, and Nitrogen. Water and air hoses are always red with Crow’s feet fittings. Steam hoses are black with Boss fittings. It is important to note that when hooking up hoses to steam, the steam must be 60 psig or less. All nitrogen hoses are yellow and have special fittings. The adapting or interchange of fittings is prohibited.

HOSES AND FITTINGS Hoses and fittings brought on the Channelview site by the Contractor must be maintained, inspected, tested, by the Contractor and used in accordance with OSHA regulations. Nitrogen Service - Fittings and hoses must be specifically designated for the plant’s nitrogen and

Page 39: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

34 of 62

may not be converted or adapted to fit the plant's nitrogen system.

WORKING ACCESS All completed scaffolds must be inspected prior to use. All completed scaffolds must have a completed inspection scaffold tag in place. If the scaffold has no tag, it is unsafe and must not be used until it has been inspected and approved. Scaffolding and working platforms shall meet the issue and structural requirements of OSHA 1926.451 and ANSI A10.8, and shall be erected in accordance with those standards and the scaffolding manufacturer's erection instructions.

Scaffolds in the erection/dismantling stage must have the tag holder in place indicating “Danger Do Not Use” by the Contractor that is performing this task.

The Contractor that installed the scaffold must ensure that it is inspected by a Competent Person and tagged with an inspection tag.

Scaffolds shall not be used by any Contractor unless it is tagged with an inspection tag with a current inspection documented on the tag. A common scaffold inspection tag shall be used. These tags may be obtained through the Channelview Plant Contractor Coordinator.

Scaffolds shall not be altered by anyone other than the Scaffolding contractor who erected and tagged the scaffold.

Ladders authorized in the plant must be used in compliance with OSHA 1926.1053 and 1910.26. Fiberglass ladders will be used in conjunction with

Page 40: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

35 of 62

electrical work. Wooden ladders and "make-shift" ladders are not allowed in the plant.

OVERHEAD WORK HAZARDS Fire blankets, plywood, or scaffold boards may be required below the work area to prevent small objects from falling through the grating. Buckets shall be used to store small parts. Install proper barricades under your work areas. Constant housekeeping activities are required.

FALL PROTECTION All contract employees working six feet or greater in height in areas not protected from falling by standard guard rails and work platforms, must wear a full body harness and shock absorbing lanyard that is secured to a structural support meeting the requirements of OSHA, and Lyondell standards. This requirement also applies to exposures less than six feet under certain hazardous circumstances such as working over machinery or other potentially hazardous objects. Your employer shall provide your fall arrest equipment. All Lanyards must be of the type that allows for a tieback. A direct tie back to the Web Lanyard is not acceptable, unless the manufacturer has designed the double locking snap-hook and gate for that purpose with a 5000# rating. Check with your Channelview Contractor Coordinator to ensure compliance to site specific requirements.

Page 41: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

36 of 62

BARRICADES All barricade tape must be properly tagged to identify the hazard, the date of installation and current update, the person who installed it, and the company or department to contact. Barricades must not have any open sides.

Yellow Barricade Tape – Yellow barricade tape signifies ‘CAUTION’. You may proceed through the yellow barricade after reading the tag and identifying the hazard.

Red Barricade Tape – Red barricade tape signifies ‘DANGER’. No one is allowed to cross a red barricade except the personnel working that job. Red barricade tape tags must be updated every shift with the date and time or it will be removed. Always remove the barricade once the hazard has been eliminated.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS Your employer will provide fire extinguishers for you. Channelview Plant extinguishers are for emergency use only. In the event you use a Channelview Plant fire extinguisher, notify the HSE Department at once. The Channelview Plant HSE Department is only responsible for the Channelview site fire extinguishers. Contractor fire extinguishers must be maintained and inspected by your employer or the extinguisher owner.

COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS Storage, transportation, and use of compressed gas cylinders must meet or exceed the OSHA requirements and Compressed Gas Association

Page 42: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

37 of 62

standards. Additionally, compressed gas cylinders are not allowed inside vessels.

EAGLES To encourage Contractor employee involvement in taking a proactive approach to safety, we have developed a safety awareness program called “EAGLES”. This acronym stands for, “Eliminating Accidents Guarantees Lasting Employee Safety.” Plant employees and Contractors are trained to be “EAGLES” observers. These observers conduct behavioral observations on fellow employees and contractors while they perform their job duties and give them feedback on all behaviors, safe or at risk. Observations are anonymous in the sense that there are no names on the forms, only locations and codes for the observer to the track the data. The purpose of these observations is simply to eliminate ‘at risk behaviors’, not to punish or embarrass workers. There will be no disciplinary action taken from an EAGLES observation.

PERMITTING

Contractors may not begin work at the Channelview Plant until they have been authorized to do so, in the form of a permit. Permits serve as a communication tool to ensure that work can be done safely and in accordance with other safety procedures. Permits are used to identify equipment to be worked on, who is working on the equipment, and to ensure that the equipment to be worked on or around is properly prepared. Permits also ensure that those individuals

Page 43: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

38 of 62

involved with performing the work before it begins understand all precautions and restrictions.

Prior to entering any process area, a representative of your group must notify the board operator in the unit or lab and sign in on the Area Sign-In Log, indicating the number of personnel in the work group. Upon completion of your work, prior to leaving the area, a representative must sign out on the Area Sign-In Log.

All work permits will be issued for a time specified, not to exceed twelve hours. After the expiration of the permit, the equipment owner may update it for an additional twelve hours. Work Permits expire after 24 hours and will require that a new permit be issued if the work is to be continued. Confined Space Entry Permits require a recheck after the space has been abandoned for more than one hour.

If an adverse condition should arise during the course of your work, you will stop all work, shut off any sources of ignition, immediately report the hazard and leave the area. Work will not resume until the adverse condition has been eliminated and the area has been rechecked by operations. You will also stop work upon request of operations, or when the emergency alarm sounds.

A copy of the Channelview Work Permit and Permit Checklist is in Appendix I

HAZARDOUS WORK

If your job requires you to perform any ‘hazardous’ work, you will be required to have the appropriate work permits. The ‘Channelview Work Permit’, is used at the Channelview Plant to permit Level 1,

Page 44: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

39 of 62

Level 2, and Level 3 type work. All ‘physical work’ requires a work permit. Examples of tasks that would require a Level 1 Permit include: use of electric drills and equipment, or pneumatic tools, opening explosion proof fixtures, sand, hydro, or abrasive blasting, use of motorized vehicles, equipment or pumps, or explosive fastening devices, asbestos or lead activity, use of buffing equipment (polishing only), scalers, or needle guns, electrical work (480 volts or less), or general maintenance activity, i.e. scaffold work, mowing, insulation work. The type of work that would require a Level 2 Permit includes: line break, cold cut or drilling of pipe; use of heater fired devices such as N2 truck, tar, lead pots, etc.; burning, welding, or grinding in fab areas or outside process areas, performing special leak repair that involves drilling on in-service equipment; climbing flare or boiler stacks that are out of service; and use of heat guns. Tasks that require a Level 3 Permit include: burning, welding, or grinding inside a process area; heat stress, or x-ray work; cryogenic activity; hot taps; excavation work; repacking valves under pressure; opening flare headers; crimping reformer tubes; high voltage (greater than 480 volts) electrical work. After signing in on the Area Sign-In Log, you must communicate with the operator, the type of work activity you will be performing and meet with the equipment owner at the job site to receive the appropriate work permit. The equipment owner will inspect the area and ensure it is free from recognized hazards prior to issuing the work permit. All personnel in the work group must read,

Page 45: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

40 of 62

understand, sign, and follow all requirements of the permit. A copy of the permit will remain posted at a designated location, assigned by operations. Once your work is complete, you are responsible for cleaning up the work area of any remaining debris and communicating with the equipment owner. You will sign off on the work permit to indicate the work is complete, and the equipment owner will sign as well, when he or she is satisfied that the work is complete and the work area has been cleaned up. Permits for spark producing equipment or tasks require a trained fire watch at the job site. The fire watch is responsible to assist in maintaining the safety and well being of the person(s) involved in the work by watching for and containing sparks or other potential ignition sources in the vicinity of the hot work operation, to prevent the possibility of a fire. The fire watch must have extinguishing equipment available that they have been trained to use. Fire Watches must also be able to recognize if a fire is beyond their capability to extinguish and immediately summon help. All Fire Watches must maintain watch over the hot work area for at least 30 minutes after completion of the hot work to detect and extinguish possible smoldering fires.

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Lockout/Tagout covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected energizing or startup of the machines or equipment or release of stored energy could cause injury. This includes machines and equipment where there is a source of electrical,

Page 46: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

41 of 62

mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, or thermal energy. The purpose of the lockout/tagout procedure is to ensure that machinery or equipment is isolated from all potentially hazardous energy and locked and tagged out before Contractors perform any work. All equipment shall be locked and tagged out to protect against accidental or inadvertent operation when such operation could cause injury to personnel. You and your crew must follow the procedures exactly in order to be protected from hazardous energy sources. The Crew Leader (PAE) is a member of the Company/Crew who is designated to be responsible for the crew’s compliance with the Lockout/Tagout procedures. The EID Verification Form is a form that is signed by the Contractor Crew Leader and Crew Members (Contractor Authorized Employees) to signify EIDs are in place and EIDs are not to be removed until each person has signed out. Maintenance/Contractor Crew Leaders will attach crew (PAE) locks and tags to the lock box assigned to the job for protection for themselves and their crew. The Lyondell equipment owner is responsible for identifying, clearing and isolating equipment, for applying a lock and tag to each Energy Isolation Device (EID), placing the key(s) into a lock box, and for verifying isolation. The Equipment Owner will conduct an Energy Isolation Device (EID) field review with the designated crew leader, (referred to from this point forward as the Principle Authorized Employee or PAE) and explain the importance of each EID point.

Page 47: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

42 of 62

The PAE will visually inspect each EID, place a lock and tag on the appropriate lock box, which isolates the key(s) to the locks on the EIDs, and sign-in on the EID Verification Form. By signing the EID Verification Form, this forbids the Equipment Owners from removing any lockout device from the EID(s). Contractor Principle Authorized employees must provide their OWN locks. Lyondell will provide EID tags to you. Crewmembers, referred to as Authorized Contractor employees, must sign-in on the EID Verification form after their PAE has given them the opportunity to view each EID. Both PAE’s and Authorized Employees must sign-off on the EID Verification Form when they are not working on/with the equipment associated with the lockout/tagout job. Upon completion of the job, once housekeeping has been completed, and all Authorized Contractor employees have signed-off on the EID Verification Form, the PAE removes the PAE lock and tag from the lock box. This allows the Equipment Owners to remove the lockout devices at this time. The Equipment Owner attaches a lock and EID tag on each EID. The Equipment Owner will visually show the PAE each EID, the PAE will show the authorized employees, then each authorized employee will sign-in on the EID Verification Form. The Equipment Owner will verify compliance with lockout/tagout and will give approval for work to begin.

Upon completion of work, the PAE will ensure the work is complete, account for all authorized Contractor employees, verify that all authorized employees have signed-out on the EID Verification Form, sign-out on the EID Verification Form and

Page 48: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

43 of 62

remove the PAE lock from the lock box. Then the PAE will communicate to the Equipment Owner the job is complete. This allows the equipment to be turned back over to operations to prepare it for service.

Personnel are NOT allowed to sign in or out on the EID Verification Form for anyone else, they may not remove Equipment Owners lock or tags, and they may not remove a blind or valve that has a locking device or tag attached. The Equipment Owner shall NOT remove any lockout/tagout device before all Contractor authorized employees have signed-out and the PAE lock has been removed from the lock box. Failure to comply with this policy will result in notification to Contractor Supervision.

CONFINED SPACE

Work that requires entry into a confined space, defined as: a space that has adequate size and configuration for a person to enter, has limited means of access and egress, and is not designed for continuous Contractor employee occupancy, requires the use of a ‘Channelview Confined Space Entry Permit.’ The space may also contain or have the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere, contain material that has the potential to engulf an entrant, have an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated, or contain other recognized serious safety or health hazards. Before entry into a confined space is authorized, the authorized entrant must have received appropriate training. The entrant must: know the hazards they may be faced during entry, read, understand and follow the requirements of the entry permit and sign it, maintain communication with the standby

Page 49: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook · PDF fileChannelview Plant Contractor Safety Handbook Emergency Phone Number 8911. Title: Lyondell Channelview Plant Contractor

44 of 62

attendant, evacuate the space immediately upon request or if an alarm sounds, and contact the equipment owner at the completion of work for debriefing. Trained stand-by or confined space attendant(s), must be stationed immediately outside of the confined space at all times and must perform the following duties: sign the entry permit in the space marked “Attendant” after reading and understanding the precautions identified on the permit; maintain continuous verbal or visual contact with the entrants; monitor air sampling equipment if conditions warrant; utilize the entry/exit log to keep track of the number of entrants in the space at all times; assist in preventing the fouling of electrical cords, welding hoses or cables, air lines, life lines, etc., be alert for hazards to personnel in the confined space.

Stand-by or confined space attendant(s) must also keep unauthorized personnel from entering the space, notify personnel to exit the space in the event of an emergency and prohibit re-entry until the permit has been revalidated, summon rescue help when necessary, by voice, radio, or portable emergency alarm signal device such as an air horn, and remain on the job until relieved by another trained standby attendant or the job has been stopped and all entrants have exited the space. Barricade the entryway when an open confined space will be left unoccupied and unattended. The attendant may not enter or leave the confined space, unless replaced by another trained attendant.

EXCAVATION SAFETY All excavations on plant property must be performed in accordance with applicable OSHA regulations. The Contractor is responsible for providing a "Competent Person" at each excavation site. This individual must be capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. Also, he/she must be able, through experience or training, to determine the suitability of equipment or materials used for support systems, shield systems, and other protective systems. Excavations include any manually or mechanical equipment dug depression greater than six (6) inches deep. Excavations greater than four (4) feet require a Confined Space Entry Permit and must be equipped with shoring protective systems in accordance with OSHA regulations. The Channelview Plant Project Coordinator or Contractor Coordinator is your contact regarding soil clearances and underground drawings.

ELECTRICAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT All electrical tools used in the plant must meet the requirements of CVO-HSE-702 “Assured Electrical Equipment Grounding Conductors, Extension Cord Use and Ground Fault Interrupters”. A Grounding Assurance Program requires routine testing of the

46 of 62

ground circuit and documentation of those tests. Such documentation must be made readily available upon the request of Channelview Complex personnel. Electrical cords cannot be modified in any form from their original manufacturer’s specifications (no cord splicing or modification) and must be maintained in good repair.

PURCHASED BREATHING AIR

Grade “D” Breathing Air, this is the classification standard for component maxima, in parts per million developed by ASNI/Compressed Gas Association G-7.1. It is also the standard to which workplace environments must comply to meet OSHA requirements. The component maxima is as follows: O2 – 19.5-23.5%, oil (condensed) - 5ppm, CO - 10ppm, and CO2 - 1000ppm. Contractors’ Use of Breathing Air:

A system must be in place to ensure the oxygen concentration in the bottles is tested prior to use.

Contractors who bring breathing air on-site must have a Certificate of Analysis for breathing air.

Certificate of Analysis (C of A’s) shall be kept on-site while the air cylinders are on-site.

TOXIC SUBSTANCE CONTROL ACT (TSCA) The Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) applies to various health and environmental activities at Lyondell sites. Contractor employees are obligated to immediately report any information or incident

associated with a chemical substance or mixture relating to a risk to health or to the environment. Such reports must be made to your Channelview Contractor Coordinator, who will in turn contact the company TSCA Coordinator at the Channelview Plant.

HAZARD COMMUNICATION

The Channelview Plant contains some potentially hazardous chemicals. We will briefly summarize the major chemicals, the units they are located in, and the hazards associated with them. We have designed a Hazard Communication program that provides information concerning these chemicals. This overview is intended to provide you only basic information. Your employer is responsible for providing you with detailed Hazard Communication training.

The best source of information for a particular chemical or substance is the Material Safety Data Sheet, or MSDS. We maintain a MSDS for every chemical in the facility. If your job requires you to bring hazardous chemicals into the Channelview Plant, you must provide a list of the chemicals and an MSDS for each one prior to bringing the chemical on site. The MSDS contains information on the hazards associated with the chemical, handling and first aid information, spill procedures, and much more. Copies of these MSDS can be obtained through your Channelview Contractor Coordinator. You are responsible for ensuring proper labels are affixed to any hazardous chemicals you may bring into the facility. Your supervisor should contact your

facility was originally constructed using non-asbestos materials.

The standard for identifying non-asbestos containing material in piping insulation within the CVON facility is by blue banding. All insulation not identified by the blue banding and gaskets not verified as asbestos-free should be treated as asbestos containing until verified otherwise. Only qualified asbestos abatement contractors will be allowed to disturb materials that contain asbestos. There shall be no grinding or buffing of any gasket material within the Channelview Plant unless it has been verified as asbestos-free material.

Contract Employers performing work within the Channelview Plant shall also ensure compliance with all requirements of the Lead Safety Program, and applicable OSHA and EPA regulations. Long term exposure to lead-containing material may result in damage to your blood-forming, nervous, urinary and reproductive systems. You or your employer must alert your Channelview Contractor Coordinator in advance of demolition or renovation work on painted or coated surfaces to ensure that painted or coated surfaces have been tested or checked for lead content before work is authorized.

Any Contractor Employer who will be working on lead-containing material must submit their Lead Safety Program to the Channelview site HSE Department for approval before work is authorized. Regulated areas will be established as needed, with warning signs posted in plain view at all access points, when work on lead-containing materials is performed.
