These operations include well drilling, completion, servicing, workover, downhole maintenance, and plug and abandonment procedures conducted with hydrogen sulfide present in the fluids being handled.

The objective of this standard and the recommendations within is to assist the oil and gas industry in promoting personnel safety, Public safety, integrity of the drilling equipment, and preservation of the environment for land marine drilling operations in the context of blow out prevention system.

The purpose of this document is to recommend practices and procedures for promoting and maintaining safe and healthy working conditions for personnel in drilling and well servicing operations.

This publication is applicable to explosives used in oil and gas producing operations, and more specifically to the use of explosives inside a wellbore. The purpose of this Recommended Practice is to prevent the inadvertent detonation of explosives.

The purpose of this recommended practice (RP) is to provide guidelines for classifying locations Class I, Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 at petroleum facilities for the selection and installation of electrical equipment. Basic definitions given in the 2014 edition of NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), have been followed in developing this RP. This publication is only a guide and requires the application of sound engineering judgment.

This recommended practice (RP) identifies leading and lagging process safety indicators useful for driving performance improvement. As a framework for measuring activity, status or performance, this document classifies process safety indicators into four tiers of leading and lagging indicators.

This recommended practice presents the current state of knowledge and technology in the fields of static electricity, lightning, and stray currents applicable to the prevention of hydrocarbon ignition in the petroleum industry and is based on both scientific research and practical experience.

NFPA Standards

This standard covers the minimum requirements for the installation of standpipes and hose systems.

This standard deals with the selection and installation of pumps supplying liquid for private fire protection.

This document establishes the minimum requirements for the periodic inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems and the actions to under‐take when changes in occupancy, use, process, materials, hazard, or water supply that potentially impact the performance of the water-based system are planned or identified.

This code shall apply to the storage, handling, and use of flammable and combustible liquids, including waste liquids, as herein defined and classified.

This standard establishes criteria for minimizing the hazards of fire during the installation and operation of stationary combustion engines and gas turbines.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a practical safe working area for employees relative to the hazards arising from the use of electricity.

NFPA 72 covers the application, installation, location, performance, inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire alarm systems, supervising station alarm systems, public emergency alarm reporting systems, fire warning equipment and emergency communications systems (ECS), and their components.

NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, shall be known as the Life Safety Code®, is cited as such, and shall be referred to herein as “this Code” or “the Code.

This guide is intended to provide assistance, primarily to authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), in evaluating the appropriateness and execution of a fire risk assessment (FRA) for a given fire safety problem. While this guide primarily addresses regulatory officials, it also is intended for others
who review FRAs, such as insurance company representatives and building owners.

This standard shall establish a common set of criteria for all-hazards disaster/emergency management and business continuity/continuity of operations programs, herein‐after referred to as “the program”.

This standard contains minimum requirements for total flooding and local application clean agent fire extinguishing systems. It does not cover fire extinguishing systems that use carbon dioxide or water as the primary extinguishing media, which are addressed by other NFPA documents.

Emergency Action codes (EACs), also known as Hazchem codes, are for the use of the emergency services in conjunction with Emergency Action Code Cards. EACs indicate to the emergency services actions that may be necessary, during the first few minutes of an incident involving dangerous goods, should the officer in charge of the incident deem it necessary to take immediate actions.

The National Fuel Gas Code covers the installation of gas piping and gas appliances in buildings. The history of the code dates back approximately 90 years and involves a number of organizations, all with the common goal of providing for the safe use of gas-burning equipment.

ASME Standard

This Standard includes both performance-based and prescriptive requirements to be used for an ASME Nondestructive Examination and Quality Control Central Qualification and Certification Program that applies to NDE personnel and QC Inspection personnel.

This Standard covers types, sizes, materials, dimensions, tolerances, and markings for nonmetallic flat gaskets.

The ASME B30 Standard contains provisions that apply to the construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and use of cranes and other lifting and material-movement related equipment.

The ASME B30 Standard contains provisions that apply to the construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and use of cranes and other lifting and material-handling related equipment. For the convenience of the reader, the Standard has been divided into separate volumes.
