order to meet QP HSE requirements forprotecting people, assets and the environment.It should cover the contract phases from pre-
mobilization, through contract execution, todemobilization. It demonstrates the contractor’sunderstanding of the requirements stated in theContract HSE specification and should state theHSE policy, procedures, and standards to beadopted in carrying-out the contract.
Contract HSEspecification
This refers to the HSE requirements defined fora particular contract in order to eliminate orminimize the risk. It is usually based on theresult of the HSE assessment for the contractand forms the framework within which the
contractor makes the contract HSE plan onwhich he is monitored.
RiskRisk is the combination of the likelihood (orprobability) of an event occurring and theseverity of the outcome.
Risk = likelihood of an event x severity ofoutcome.
Risk Assessment A systematic examination of a task, job orprocess for the purpose of identifying thesignificant hazards that are present, deciding ifthe existing controls reduce the risk to an
acceptable level, and if not, deciding whatfurther control measures must be taken toreduce the risk to an acceptable level.
Incident An Incident is a general term for any unplannedevent, or chain of events, which has, or couldhave caused, injury, illness, damage or loss. It isused to include all accidents and near misses.
Lost Time Injury(LTI)
A work related injury, which renders the injuredperson unable to perform his regular job orRestricted Work on any day after the day onwhich the accident occurred. Note: if, in a single
incident 20 people receive lost time injuries,then it is accounted as 20 LTI's (not 1 LTI). LostTime Injuries are the sum of Fatalities (FAT),Permanent Total Disabilities (PTD), PermanentPartial Disabilities (PPD), and Lost Workdaycases (LWC).
LTI = (FAT+PTD+PPD+LWC)

4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES and STANDARDS
4.1 Responsibilities
The responsibility for developing and amending this document is Health Safetyand Environment (HSE) Manager. The responsibility for ensuring complianceis the Land Lease signatory.
All contractors, subcontractor, and End User entering into a Land Leaseagreement, irrespective of the Land Lease Agreement’s duration, are to

All end-users EPC contractors must establish a comprehensive safetyprogram, as well as a policy procedure in line with the RLC standards andguidelines as referred to in QP-RHT-001
The rules and regulations in this document have been compiled to governHSE activities of Contractors in all phases of the QP contracting process withparticular emphasis on the contract execution phase. They are applicable toall contracts in Qatar Petroleum whether at the corporate, regional oroperational levels of the corporation. The extent to which they are applicableto a specific contract however depends on the nature of the work and level ofHSE risk that is present in the contracted work or service. Compliance tothese rules and regulations does not in any way relieve contractors from theirresponsibility to comply with all other relevant QP policies, standards andprocedures including specific contractual HSE requirements and location-specific requirements, they are also not a replacement for the applicableState of Qatar laws and regulations.
