Recommendations
Ensure OSR is present during the pre-job safety meeting and pressure testing operations.
Conduct the 9 Questions for a Safe Pressure Test prior to pressure testing affected equipment. Ensure this includes
walking the line(s) and reviewing the piping & instrumentation diagram prior to commencing work.
Shell OSRs must review the job specific pressure testing requirements/job sequence within the well prognosis and visually verify the equipment on location matches the well prognosis for job specific pressure testing sequence prior to ordering the job.
Contractors conducting pressure tests of equipment on Shell locations must visually verify pressure ratings of equipment to be tested and conduct a thorough pre job safety meeting with all affected personnel highlighting the job steps, pressure ratings, dangers and no-go zones when conducting a pressure test.
