1. INTRODUCTION

The Tataouine Gas Project (TGP) is developed by ETAP. The project is intended to recover
associated and non-associated gas reserves from existing concessions/permits in Southern
Tunisia.
The TGP is composed of:
- Dry and partially dew pointed gas from concessions being taken from main 24” Nawara
Pipeline at the Deviation Point.
- A spur line which will deliver gas from Deviation Point to a Gas Treatment Plant (GTP-T)
located at Tataouine
- The GTP-T will produce Sales Gas, commercial LPG products and stabilized Condensate
- Sales Gas will be delivered to customers at STEG reception point through dedicated
product line
- Separate export facility by road tanker will be provided for produced LPG and Condensate
at the GTP-T
- Bottling Unit next to the GTP-T LPG recovery plant.

5. PROCEDURE

5.1 What is Risk Assessment?

An identification of the hazards present in a workplace and an estimate of the extent of the risks
involved, taking into account whatever precautions are already being taken. It involves:
 Identification of ALL the hazards;
 Identification of people at risk;
 Evaluation of the risks and of existing precautions;
 Recording and communication of the findings;
 Periodic review.

5.2 When to Conduct a Risk Assessment

A Risk Assessment must be undertaken before the commencement of the activity so that control
measures, as determined by the assessment can be put in place from the start.
Hazards should be identified during the planning stage of the activity.
This will keep cost for any subsequent modification to a minimum. We must be sure that any
article we design or supply is safe and without risk to health.
A Risk Assessment shall be carried as follows:
 Workplace Risk.
 Environmental Risk.
 Health Risk.
 When required by legislation;
 For all new engineering design work and specifications;
 For all new / different site activities that could be deemed as hazardous;
 For all hazardous activities;
 When required by a Permit to Work.

As well as this general risk assessment there may also be more specific requirements relating to
the following:
 Manual Handling;
 Personal Protective Equipment;
 Display Screen Equipment;
 Noise;
 Hazardous Substances;
 Lead;
 Fire.
5.3 Who should carry out a Risk Assessment

The risk assessment is a duty of the employers towards the employees and other persons
affected by the organization's activities.
The assessment should be conducted with the involvement of person(s) who is/are familiar with
and understand(s) the task to be assessed.
Specialist HSE guidance on certain aspects may be sought from an appropriate person i.e. the
HSE Manager / Qualified Medical Practitioner.

5.4 Conducting the Assessment

5.4.1. Hazard Survey

All activities together with methods and systems of work should be subjected to a hazard survey.
The extent and depth of this survey will depend on the potential losses arising from the activity.
Important criteria to be considered include:
 Exposure of people (both the workforce and the public) to any dangers that may arise;
 The value of the plant or equipment in financial and economic terms;
 The value of the plant or process in terms of its possible interdependence with other
processes;
 Any inherent toxic, explosive or fire risk associated with any stage of the activity.
The hazard may have been pointed out by other persons, it may have been highlighted as the
result of a safety inspection, it may be immediately obvious or it may be mandatory that a risk
assessments is conducted on this for a particular activity or aspect. When considering the
exposed people ensure that consideration is given to people that are not there at the time of the
assessment.
Below is a series of key questions to assist in hazard identification which can be applied in many
situations:
 What can happen?
 How can it happen?
 What will happen in the event that there is too much or too little
(pressure/heat/cold/air/vacume/ventilation/noise/flow/supply/reactants/containment
etc.)?
To these questions we can add:
 Who could be affected?
 Why is the risk necessary?
 Where will it take place?
Hazards can result in different forms of harm. It is useful to record both the hazard and the harm
so that it is easier to identify the correct precautions to take. Hazard identification can be helped
by:
 Viewing a situation or activity;
 Discussing it with those involved in the activity;
 Referring to manufacturers’ or suppliers’ manuals or data sheets;
 Referring to a checklist of hazards as an aide-memoir;
 Referring to accident/incident reports;
 Reviewing of legislation and legislative guidance notes.

5.4.2. Persons at Risk

The risk associated with a particular situation or activity will differ with the individual exposed to
the hazard, this must be considered during the assessment. Individuals or groups who may be
particularly at risk include:
 Employees.
 Contractors.
 Lone Workers.
 Young People.
 Expectant Mothers.
 Members of the public;
 Those with literacy difficulties (cultural or learning difficulties).
 Those with physical disabilities.

Only consider those with a real likelihood of being exposed to the hazard.

5.4.3. Hazard Analysis

The hazard identification must be analyzed. The main elements of this are probability, frequency
and consequence levels (severity), defined in article 5 “Definitions”.

5.4.5. Control Measures

If the risk assessment has determined that something needs to be done then the following two
questions need to be considered and appropriate control measure implemented:
 Can the Hazard be removed altogether?
 If not how can the risks be controlled so that harm is unlikely?
In answering these questions the below “Hierarchy of Control” should be considered:
 Elimination.
 Substitution
 Isolation.
 Engineering control.
 Administrative control.
 Use of PPE.

Once the control measures have been implemented the Risk Assessment process should be
repeated to quantify the residual risk, and the risk from any new hazards introduced
inadvertently by the control measures. These risks should now be tolerable.

5.4.6. Reviewing the Assessment

The assessment must be reviewed and revised as necessary, for example if there is a significant
change to the work area or for any other reason you suspect that the assessment is no longer
valid.
