MER Driving Safety Operating Procedure
MERE-SR-PRO-00-0007 Rev. B01
Page 4 of 23 Printed: 05 November 2012 Uncontrolled Copy When Printed
1.0 Introduction
1.1 What this document is about
Motor Vehicle Collisions are a major cause of fatalities, serious physical injuries, and property loss in the BP Group. The risk of injury or fatality is not only to BP employees and contractors, but also to members of the public. BP MER is committed to continuous improvement in driving safety performance, consistent with meeting our policy of “no harm to people”.
This Driving Safety procedure is the parent document of the regional application of the expectations of Group Recommended Practice on Driving Safety (GRP 3.7 – 0002) and establishes activities required to implement and maintain a disciplined application of recommended practice. Good documentation is required to demonstrate conformance to GRP 3.7 -0002.
Division line managers are required to apply the BP MER Driving Safety requirements in their operations and to self-verify compliance by members of their BP and contractor workforce and vehicles within their operating area. S&OR is responsible for establishing and communicating the Driving Safety requirements, policy and improvement plans and for verifying conformance.
Implementation of the BP MER Driving Safety Management System (DSMS) (of which this procedure is the parent document) manages Driving Safety within the Middle East Region (MER) business risk. A list of the full suite of documents which form the BP MER Driving Safety Management System is included as Addendum 1 of this document.
The BP MER DSMS is designed to set clear standards and requirements to follow to establish a consistent approach to manage driving in order to demonstrate:
Conformance to the Driving standard (GRP 3.7-0002);
Risk identification and reduction by monitoring key performance indicators (input and output)
Improve safety performance by reducing both the risk to which the BP workforce in the Middle East Region are exposed and the potential of harm to members of the public.
Reduce the number and frequency of driving related accidents and fatalities

Page 11 of 23 Printed: 05 November 2012 Uncontrolled Copy When Printed
Provide clear guidance on disciplinary action should a driver refuse to attend a feedback session without just cause or be found to have tampered with the VDR/IVMS equipment on the vehicle.
Display and communicate aggregated (not individual) performance to all drivers through briefings and/or on notice boards in appropriate languages at least quarterly.
Provide the Supplier Performance Lead with monthly reports identifying clearly the standards of contractor driving as reported through VDR/IVMS and the improvements/deteriorations in the standards from the previous month.
Ensure faults in the VDR/IVMS system are detected and repairs effected within one week of the fault being recognised.
Provide instruction and training to all drivers informing them of the VDR/IVMS policy, how it works, it records and the benefits of driving in compliance. Drivers must be made aware of the rewards which are available to drivers who are shown to be safe drivers and the process which the driver will be subjected to if the VDR/IVMS system shows substandard driving.
3.10 Compliance with Driving Rules
It is the policy of BP Middle East Region to provide positive recognition for individual performance and feedback with coaching and discipline for areas where performance or behaviours are below BP requirements. The MER HSSE Discipline Policy as administered in compliance with country legal requirements follows three broad principles:
Positive Reinforcement and Recognition
Constructive Feedback
Disciplinary action (depending on the nature and circumstances of the incident) following MER HSSE Discipline Policy
Failure to adhere to BP MER Driving Rules will result in coaching and/or appropriate disciplinary action being taken, up to and including dismissal. It is BP policy to comply with the applicable laws of the country where we operate, BP Code of Conduct and the requirements of BP Group and Segment Defined Practices and guideline documents. These BP requirements are translated to Policies and Procedures; including; MER Operating Policy, MER Driving Safety Policy, MER Control of Work Policy, and other MER Policies. These policies are posted at work locations in support of BP�s goals of “No accidents, no harm to people, and no damage to the environment” Anyone who works for BP is expected to follow these policies as a condition of employment. Should they breach any of these policies or behave in such a way to put themselves or others at risk, BP reserves the right to discipline the employee. If the act or behaviour is criminal in nature, BP will involve the local authorities. For sanctions against contractors who breach Driving Safety policies and procedures, the Supplier Performance Lead should consider the removal of specific contractor employees from the contract and/or use of Safety Penalty Payments and for serious or repeated safety breaches, the termination of the contract
Record Keeping
Driver non compliances must be noted and tracked on the BP MER and contractor Driver Records Spread sheet
3.11 Passengers
Passengers must:
Know, understand and keep to the relevant parts of this Driving Safety Procedure
On scheduled journeys, ensure they are ready to depart at the appointed time to avoid placing time pressure on the driver
Make sure that all personal luggage is put in the appropriate storage areas in the vehicle and secured
Wear a seat belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion
Provide map reading support to the driver

PLANT
4.0 Vehicles
4.1 Insurance, registration and licensing
All vehicles must:
Be registered, licensed and insured in accordance with national legislation and standards
4.2 Vehicle selection
All vehicles used for work related journeys must be authorised for the nature of the journey they are to undertake – for example, Light Vehicles to be used on graded roads/off-road must be Field Compliant Vehicles. Motorcycles must never be used for any BP approved journeys in the MER
All passenger vehicles used for BP business must have at a least four star rating in the New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) from Europe, America or Australia or a five star rating from the Japanese programme. The first choice for a journey should be to use a compliant vehicle with an approved professional driver. If this is not available then the second choice is a compliant vehicle with a non-professional but approved driver e.g. higher mileage BP MER Driving Permit holder. If this is not available then for urban and inter urban journeys an approved taxi or limousine service with compliant vehicles and drivers should be used, and only if none of the above are available should compliant personal vehicles and driver with BP MER Permit be used on BP business.
4.3 Taxi/Limousine Services:
If the Operating Area contracts for a Taxi/Limo Service, for BP business, the PSCM shall establish a formal contract with the selected local Taxi/Limo service, spelling out clear expectations from BP. This arrangement shall fulfil all safety requirements that a normal BP pool car/pool driver holds including:
All drivers used to service BP to be Defensive Driving trained and have a BP MER Driving Permit

4.7 Vehicle maintenance management system
All vehicles used on BP work related journeys must be maintained and inspected as per the BP MER Vehicle inspection and Maintenance Procedure MER-ALL-SORPRO-3.7-0020-00. All BP vehicles and contractor vehicles dedicated to BP business must be recorded on the relevant country Vehicle Register. Any vehicle which, upon inspection at a BP MER site/concession area, is considered to be not roadworthy shall be repaired at site or removed by a recovery vehicle by the contractor and all associated costs shall be for the contractor’s account.
4.8 Vehicle Operating Life:
Light Vehicles: Vehicle life shall be assessed after 4 years or 200,000 km, whichever comes first, and shall be based on technical inspection and whole life cycle costs. It is recommended that a technical third party should be consulted and the assessment should highlight the remaining life of the vehicle.
As best practice in BP, the maximum working life of a vehicle is usually 250,000 km or 5 years, whichever comes first, and that it has not been involved in major collisions. Efforts should be made to rotate vehicles on tasks to ensure that kilometres driven are evened out amongst the vehicle fleet.
Heavy Vehicles: All Heavy vehicles, including buses, which are deployed in support of BP MER cargo and passenger vehicle operations, should be no more than 4 years old. However, vehicles which have auditable maintenance records, and which have current and valid inspection certification, may be acceptable subject to the approval of BP Logistics Team Leader.
PROCESS
5.0 Journey Risk Management Journey Risk Management minimises exposure to road transport related risks and ensures that robust controls are in place for each journey to manage the residual risk.
MER Driving Safety Operating Procedure
MERE-SR-PRO-00-0007 Rev. B01
Page 18 of 23 Printed: 05 November 2012 Uncontrolled Copy When Printed
The principles of Journey Risk Management apply to all journeys; the need for the journey must be challenged and drivers must be trained and hold a valid permit, vehicles must be to the required standard, VDR/IVMS must be installed, route risks assessed and all risks reduced to ALARP.
The BP MER Journey Risk Management Procedure MER-ALL-SOR-PRO-3.7-0019-00 must be applied to all journeys not specifically exempt under that procedure. Audits of Journey Risk Management should use the checklist Key Points: -The need for all journeys must be challenged -All journeys must be planned -All areas of travel must have route risk assessments (specific routes or area wide for urban areas) -All journeys requiring a formal Journey Risk Management Plan must follow the BP MER Journey Risk Management Procedure
Some journeys carry elevated risks. The risks of such journeys must be identified and effectively managed, which will require stronger and alternative controls than are incorporated within the standard Journey Risk Management Planning procedure. Such journeys/operations may include (but are not restricted to):
security sensitive conditions
unusual weather conditions
movement of large number of personnel
movement of abnormal loads
rig moves/camp moves (conducted by rig/seismic contractor, supervised by BP) – these must include the requirements of the BP MER Convoy Procedure MER-ALL-SOR-PRO-3.7-0022-00.
5.1 Reduced Visibility and Night Driving
BP has strict restrictions on night driving which are detailed in the BP MER Night Driving Policy MER-ALL-SOR-POL-3.7-0005-00.
Night driving is defined as driving within the time period between sunset and sunrise. The full policy gives details on when night driving is permitted and the procedure for authorising any night driving.
The main principle is:
All activities must be planned in order to avoid the need for night driving, including circumstances where an approved activity takes place during the night. Supervisors responsible for work activities must ensure that these activities do not require night driving by support functions or service providers. Other reduced visibility is caused by rain, mist, fog, dust, sandstorms or a vehicle windscreen which cannot be kept clear.
When driving on BP business, all drivers must risk assess the changed situation to determine if continued driving is reasonable and take the precautions noted in the BP MER Reduced Visibility Driving Procedure. MER-ALL-SOR-PRO-3.7-0021-00.
5.2 Convoy Driving
BP or contractor vehicle convoy movements, such as rig, seismic and camp moves must be risk managed and include the requirements of the BP MER Convoy Procedure MER-ALL-SOR-PRO-3.7-0022-00. Strong emphasis and additional controls must be placed on driver behaviour in the execution of these moves.
5.3 Load Securing Principles
All loads must be secured correctly with the correct type and number of lashings or securing devices as per BP MER Load Securing Checklist MER-ALL-SOR-CKL-3.70002-00. In principle:
the vehicle must be the correct size and weight capacity for the load
chains must not be used to secure pipes and tubulars
use a minimum of 4 x side stanchions per side and 4 x webbing belts to secure pipes and tubulars
chains, belts and hooks must be regularly inspected to ensure that they are in useable condition
metal loads must not be placed on a metal bed trailer unless wooden or rubber sheets or dunnage are placed between the load and trailer bed
MER Driving Safety Operating Procedure
MERE-SR-PRO-00-0007 Rev. B01
Page 19 of 23 Printed: 05 November 2012 Uncontrolled Copy When Printed
shipping containers must only be transported on trailers equipped with twist locks, which must be engaged
prior to commencing the journey, all load restraint methods should be checked for tautness, correct angles and rechecked again every 100km on blacktop and every 50km on graded roads, or after taking sharp evasive action
heavy tracked plant and mobile cranes must be moved only on low bed trailers to reduce the centre of gravity
with adequate securing to prevent sideways and fore and aft movement.
drivers are responsible for safely securing their loads. If a driver has any concerns about the way in which the cargo has been loaded then they must not move until the load is repositioned to their satisfaction.
5.4 Reverse Parking Practice
The BP MER Reverse Parking standard practice is; “when driving a BP work related or BP leased vehicle and whenever practical, the driver should reverse park into available parking spots”
Safety statistics suggest it is generally safer to reverse into a parking place, than to reverse out into possible traffic or pedestrians. The logic for reverse parking is that when first entering a parking area, the driver has better visibility of the available parking spaces, location of other vehicles and stationary objects, and pedestrian movement.
There are times that it may be safer to forward park that to reverse park. These include parking areas that have angled parking and/or narrow spaces or heavily congested areas where there is inadequate space to position the vehicle to back up safely. Driver skill in reversing a vehicle also presents some level of risk; however, the driver should always assess whether it is safer to reverse park on arrival vs. reversing out into traffic or into a congested parking area when leaving.
6.0 Road and Signage Infrastructure Road infrastructure, whether publicly owned and operated or roads constructed within the concession area has a key impact on Driving Safety.
6.1 Public Roads
Our ability to influence national roads is limited. However, poor road design and signage must be taken into account in route risk assessments and Journey Risk Management Plans. BP MER Entities must consider how they can influence the situation in high risk areas along key routes, by initiatives such as reporting damaged infrastructure/signage and social investment initiatives such as providing road safety engineering audit training to local highway engineers (to ensure that any future changes to the network will result in more safely engineered roads and signage).
6.2 Concession Roads
We do have influence over the road infrastructure in our concession areas. It is important to ensure that design, construction, signage and maintenance of this road network are to safe standards. BP MER Entities must ensure that they have appropriate procedures in place for the effective inspection and monitoring of road and signage condition (including an asset register of signage), and timely remedial action to address any significant defects identified. Inspections should be undertaken monthly on key/busy routes and every other month on less used routes.

Management Review & improvement – S&OR VP will review quarterly and at year end to document successes and improvement opportunities
7.1 Driving Safety Performance Improvement
Driving Functional Authority will compile a Risk Action Plan [RAP] which will be based on Probable and Worst Case Driving Safety Risk Profile of the Region. The RAP will be approved by Regional Leadership Team for onward submission to the Upstream Segment and overall Risk Aggregation.
The Regional RAP shall be cascaded to all Functional Teams for finalizing their respective Performance Improvement Action Plans. Once approved, the same shall be monitored on a quarterly basis.
7.2 Regional (MER) Metrics for Driving Safety
The MER has two high level performance metrics in the Annual Plan, for measuring Driving Safety Performance: Serious Vehicle Accident Rate (SVAR)
SVAR -SVAs per one million kilometres driven SVA – a Motor Vehicle Collision which has been recorded in Traction with a severity level of A to G inclusive; examples;
o any incident involving a motor vehicle rollover, o incurring disabling damage requiring any of the Motor Vehicle(s) involved (BP and/ or 3rd party) to be
recovered from the scene; o recordable injury to any single person off site; and o any off-site spill greater than 1 barrel of product being transported by the vehicle
Total Vehicle Accident Rate (TVAR) TVAR – The sum of all light vehicle, all heavy vehicle and all mobile plant accidents per one million kilometers driven, recorded in Traction with a severity level of A-H. Countries/Directorates must monitor their performance throughout the year. Country HSSE Manager must conduct a trending analysis of driving related incidents
