7.0 Tüpraş’s Contractor HSE Management System

Contractor HSE Management System is implemented in 6 stages:
 Step 1. Selecting/determining the contractors

 Step 2. Preparing the agreement
 Step 3. Offering the agreement and selection
 Step 4. Contractor recruitment training
 Step 5. Contractor work coordination
 Step 6. Evaluation of Contractor’s performance
Details of these steps are given in CHSE-MS standard TPR.TEM.STD.0058.
Refinery HSE performance of Contractor for the works that it has performed for Tüpraş are
evaluated with Contractor Site Survey. This survey is renewed in the following cases:
a) Survey of maintenance companies, which are in Green color and which have
signed long term agreement with Tüpraş, is valid for 1 year. TÇM will make the
decision for other companies.
b) The company in Yellow color shall submit its safety improvement plan to Tüpraş
and it shall be evaluated again within 6 months.
c) The company in Red color shall not be invited by Tüpraş for another tender; it
shall urgently prepare and submit its safety improvement plan to Tüpraş and it
shall be evaluated again within 2 months.
d) In case of work accident, fire, explosion, loss of content, near miss accident with
high intensity potential, or any security observation is found that causes an
emergency, if non-conformities in the “List of Contractor Sanction Durations”
are violated for 3 times or if it is required by TÇM, the survey is repeated. The
result of evaluation is recorded to Contractor’s HSE database.
‘Contractor Competency Survey’ and ‘Contractor Site Survey’ are used when
determining HSE Audit Requirement and performing HSE Audit. A SEC audit has
mainly 4 objectives:
 To determine the level of implementation of Contractor’s HSE Management

System;
 To determine which areas of Contractor’s works must be monitored closely in terms
of HSE;
 To ensure Contractor understands the requirements of Tüpraş’s HSE Management
System better; and
 To check the answers given by Contractor to the Competency Survey.
Tüpraş’s Contractor Site Officer, Chief engineer/Expert of operational safety and at
least one authorized representative of TMÇ attend HSE audit. Audit results, the color
and score determined as a result of survey are notified to Contractor. Contractor

16.02.2011
05.02.2019
informs authorized representatives of Tüpraş (TÇM Officer, Tüpraş’s Contractor Site

Officer) about the improvement actions and results of these actions.
Contractors are rated for each question in the survey, based on HSE Competency
Rating System and a color is given. Groups of colors to be given as a result of survey
and descriptions of these groups are as follows:
 Red: (0 - 49 points) means “Competency is less than the expectations of Tüpraş”.

Contractors that have received Red color are not invited for tenders. However
companies may request the survey to be repeated within 1 month. If there is any
company, which continues to work on the site but its rate is decided as Red color
as a result of the audit, it has to provide an urgent action plan to authorized
representatives of Tüpraş. Relevant departments of Tüpraş (Tüpraş’s Contractor
Site Officer, TÇM, etc.) must closely monitor this company and, if necessary, give
directions.
 Yellow (50 - 69 points) means “Competency meets the expectations of Tüpraş
conditionally”. Contractors in yellow color cannot participate the second tender.
These companies must provide an action plan to Tüpraş. Their survey will be
repeated within maximum 1 year. The color of any company, whose rate was
determined as Yellow for twice consecutively, will be changed to Red.
 Green: (70 - 100 points) means “Competency meets the expectations of Tüpraş
unconditionally”.
Some works to be assigned to Contractor in accordance with applicable legislations
can only be subcontracted if they are not covered by Contractor’s expertise.
Subcontracting of some works of Contractor, which are governed by the agreements
signed with Tüpraş, can only be made upon obtaining prior consent of Tüpraş.
Contractor must not employ any subcontractor without Tüpraş’s approval and relevant
departments must follow it. Subcontractors to be employed must also pass through
CHSE-MS evaluation. Companies, whose CHSE-MS survey result is red, cannot be
employed as subcontractors.
HSE competency results, which cover any audit, record or reference in Contractor’s
HSE database, are covered for 3 years. HSE competency results are submitted
electronically to database officers through SRM database.
Safety policies, standards, procedures and plans of Contractors must be in compliance

with Tüpraş’s procedures and legal requirements. Contractors must monitor all Key
Performance Indicators and be capable to demonstrate that they progress. Contractors
must have obtained all necessary legal permissions and licenses to perform their
operations. They must have a standard/procedure for accident/incident investigation,
reporting and preventive actions and these must be adaptable to Tüpraş’s practices.

 The worksite must have a restricted area as defined above and it must not have
any connection with process sites;
 Survey result of Contractor in CHSE-MS system must be green;
 Only one contractor must be working at the worksite to be designated
(subcontractors obtain their work permissions from this contractor and there must
not be another contractor working at the worksite);
 Contractor and Tüpraş’s Contractor Site Officer must have submitted a request to
work under Mode 2.
 In order for companies to establish their own permission system in compliance with
Tüpraş’s Management System:
o Authorized representatives of the Company, who give permissions
(permission authority, etc.) and give approvals for dangerous works, such as
hot works (Worksite Chief/Engineer, etc.), are determined by the company.
o These permission authorities are trained by TÇM Department for the
systematic of work permission and for issues covering the authority to give
permissions.
o TÇM authorities and Work Permission Authorities of the company train the
staff to be employed at the worksite.

company reports, audits that the company fulfills this liability. Any finding of these
audits is given to authorized representatives in order to take actions.
 Regular work permission system is applied until Mode 2 is implemented.
 In case of an incident, such as work accident, fire, etc., work permissions are
cancelled and delivered to authorized representatives of TÇM.
A Contractor must make a request to Tüpraş’s Contractor Site Officer in order for Mode 2.
If Tüpraş’s Contractor Site Officer deems suitable, he/she submits this request of Mode 2
to TÇM. TÇM unit controls the contractor’s color code from CHSE-MS. Only Mode 2
requests of companies in green color category shall be evaluated. TÇM, Tüpraş’s
Contractor Site Officer, Chief Engineer/Expert of Operational Safety and the officer
responsible for the worksite, at which the works will be performed, shall meet together to
evaluate the request and then submit it to the approval of Refinery Manager.
A probation period of 1 month shall be applied for the companies, which are planned to
work under Mode 2. Tüpraş shall closely monitor these companies during this period.
Contractor’s performance shall be evaluated at the end of this 1 month period and it shall
be approved to work under Mode 2. Even if the Contractor is working under Mode 2, it shall
be checked and audited everyday by relevant department, to which the company reports.
Furthermore TÇM and Operational Safety Departments shall perform spot audits and
inspections without prior notice as a part of routine worksite inspections.
Performances of contractors under Mode 2 shall be presented to Refinery management in

HSE Steering Meetings.

 Energy is safely cut by issuing “Electricity Isolation and Safe Work Certificate” and taking
the safety measures, defined in Electrical Works Standard, TPR.IGD.STD.0058, and
Standard for Electricity Safety and Working with Energy, TPR.IGD.STD.0095.
 Works must be performed after the energy is disconnected in Tüpraş’s refineries. If it is
necessary to work within “restricted approach distance” in Tüpraş’s refineries, it is
forbidden to perform the works, for which there are risks of inadvertently touching energy
conductors, causing short circuits, falling materials on energy conductors, etc. due to the
position of the body and movement of body parts.
 Rules pertaining to restricted approach distance principle and electrical PPEs to be worn
within this distance are applied until it is confirmed after deenergising that there is not
any voltage. It must be checked after each deenergising that there is not any voltage.
This control is made after it is confirmed on a source with a measurement device.
 Measurement of voltage is an important part for working with energy and it is performed
by qualified electricians, who were trained to use relevant measurement device. Single
type of measurement devices with single function must be used in refineries. Since
measurement devices will directly contact with energized systems, they must be
selected, used and protected properly.
 Measurement of voltage to find faults must only be performed by authorized electrician
of Tüpraş or the contractor, who received necessary training. If the measurement will be
made from isolated clips and there is not any energized conductor to be contacted within
the board, there is no need to receive a permission to work with energy and measurement

can be made by wearing necessary PPE. However, if the voltage of energized

conductors, which are open for contact and have not been isolated, is being measured
or there are such bare conductors around energized conductors to be measured, a
permission to work with energy must be received.
 Works, such as measurement of voltage to find faults in Tüpraş’s refineries, can only be
performed by authorized electricians, who have received Electrical Safety training.
Maintenance/project instrument, project electricity, maintenance air-conditioner
technicians and Maintenance Illumination, UPS, VSD contractor’s electricity technicians,
who have received Electrical Safety Training, can work with energy at systems lower
than 1kV, provided that they comply with the rules, stated in Electrical Safety and Work
with Energy Standard (TPR.BAK.STD.0095) within their area of responsibility. Since
these staff will not work in the facilities more than 1 kV, they are not required to receive
the “Certificate to Work at High Current Facilities”.
 Temporary Deenergising/Reenergising Permission Form (TPR.İGD.FRM.0095) is used
to give energy to temporary facilities.. This form shall be used for the electricity to be

refineries, as ex-proof or not shall be determined according to dangerous zone - non-
dangerous zone classification. It is required to use ex-proof boards, which meet the
requirements of dangerous zone class, depending on the area, at which the board will
be used. Therefore contractors shall supply switchboards that meet the standards of
Tüpraş or they shall rent these boards from Tüpraş in return of a certain fee. If any ex-
proof or regular board is requested to be rented from Tüpraş, Tüpraş is entitled to refuse
this request, based on availability of materials and intensity of current works. Boards to
be used in non-dangerous zones are not required to be ex-proof.
 Ex-proof boards shall be fed with N2XRY type (or equivalent) shielded cable. Shielded
cable is not required for cables that are not ex-proof and they must be passed through
conduits in case they might be exposed to external factors, such as passing through a
road, etc. The cable between energy source and mobile board must be supported in
