  3. Control of work
Whenever bp conducts construction, maintenance, demolition, remediation and other similar work that are typical of our industry, there is the potential for risk and harm to people and the environment and for damage to equipment

Control of work

Therefore, an effective control of work process provides a work environment that allows tasks to be completed safely and without unplanned loss of containment with the potential to cause environmental damage or to damage a plant or equipment.

 

The control of work procedures set out a required approach for bp employees and contractors to manage work risk.

Life Saving Rules for contractors

bp life saving rule

bp has adopted the Life Saving Rules (LSR) developed by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), to help our employees and contractors instantly recognise and understand the rules that help keep us safe.

 

On the page linked below you will find resources to help you understand what the Life Saving Rules are and how you can implement them.  Contractors comprise over half of our global workforce and about two thirds of industry fatalities. This site helps our contracting companies across the globe to access LSR materials developed by bp, alongside IOGP (and other industry organisations’) materials.
