Safety Governance for Upstream & Downstream Operations

Hydrocarbon facilities require exceptional procedural discipline to mitigate major accident hazards: robust Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) energy isolation, mandatory atmospheric gas testing, and systematic Management of Change (MOC).

Applicable Capabilities

How ProSafe Meets Energy Industry Requirements

LOTO Energy Isolation

Document physical lockout/tagout points, de-pressurization checks, and joint verification sign-offs before work authorization.

Atmospheric Gas Testing

Record pre-entry and continuous readings for O2, Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), and Toxic Gas (H2S) directly into work permits.

Management of Change (MOC)

Govern temporary and permanent plant engineering changes with mandatory technical risk assessments prior to commissioning.

Calibrated 5×5 Risk Matrix

Standardize risk scoring for hydrocarbon releases, flaring, and confined entry with direct link to emergency response drills.

Illustrative Workflow

Example: Process Line Isolation & Hot Work Flow

A controlled sequence verifying isolation and zero-gas thresholds prior to welding.

1

Line Isolation (LOTO)

Operations valve closures, physical lock placement, and bleed valve discharge.

2

Calibrated Gas Test

Certified tester logs O2, LEL, and H2S measurements with device ID into permit.

3

Permit Authorization

Area authority and safety lead digitally validate isolation certificate and readings.

4

De-isolation & Handover

Lock removal, leak testing, and formal handback of equipment to operations.
