1. 2014 BP Team Alaska ALASKA SAFETY HANDBOOK
BP ASH Rollout –

2. 2014 Alaska Safety Handbook
OBJECTIVE:
Upon completion of this training the participant will be able to:
Understand the reason for modifications of the ASH Book
Identify the notable modifications in the specific sections of the 2014 ASH
Choose the applicable procedures for a given work situation
Locate the “2014 ASH ASH Policies and Procedure Reference” UPS-US-AK-ALL-ALL-HSE-DOC A.
The 2014 ASH reflects best efforts of a cross functional team which included OPS, GWO, GPO and S&OR.
All policies and procedures referred to in the ASH are located in the back of the ASH book and in a ASH Policies and Procedure reference document UPS-US-AK-ALL-ALL-HSE-DOC A with active links

3. Purpose and Responsibilities
Operating Discipline dictates that procedures must be followed and the controlled procedure or policy covering a particular activity/task is the definitive reference and must always be followed.
The significance of the 2014 ASH is not to spell out the procedure/policy in detail, but to summarize topics to scope of work with reference to the specific procedure/permit in order to direct employees to the correct controlled procedure to use, which will help to drive consistent use of procedures throughout operations.
This revision includes references to applicable BPXA Policies and Procedures with a Reference Table in Section III and Document with active links in Documentum
While the BP ASH is based on controlled procedures and polices, paper copies of the ASH are not controlled and may not reflect changes to procedures and policies made after the printing of this book
See page 10 of the 2014 BP ASH for more detail.
Emphasize the importance of not relying on printed versions of Policies or Procedures, the most current and accurate are always the controlled version.
The ASH is our guide/manual for safety principals, expectations, general safety and a reference tool for many safety/health policies and operating practices. The value of the ASH is not only that it is a reference tool, but is a method to help instil safety guidelines and set the stage by defining BPXA’s safety expectations for all employees. This 2014 revision of the ASH, with topics/activities summarized to scope of work and reference to the procedure, allows the ASH to remain “evergreen”, reducing the need for ASH revision, because it will be the procedure referenced that will need revision, not the ASH, helping to drive consistency throughout the field.
Inform participants that we have a link on our webpage titled ‘ASH Policy and Procedures References’. This link takes you to a word table that contains the ASH Policy and Procedure References that is listed on pages This is also in as controlled document labeled: UPS-US-AK-ALL-ALL-HSE-DOC A

The Alaska Safety Handbook (ASH) has been used across all the North Slope oil industry since It was last updated in 2009 and was released in The significant changes in the 2010 BP ASH were driven by the implementation of Operating Management System (OMS) and the need for a BP specific ASH (BP Team Alaska ASH) due to Control of Work (CoW) and BP Permitting requirements.
The 2014 ASH revision Committee was establish in September 2012 and monthly meetings established. In April of 2013 the “final” draft of the ASH was reviewed with the AOM’s at their weekly meeting and at the April HSE Leadership Team meeting on the slope. Several concerns arose from employees on the slope after the HSE Leadership meeting regarding the extent of description of policies and value of the ASH as a reference manual. The ASH was modified to expand the Confined Space entry, Energy isolation, Ground disturbance and hot work sections to include general information on the work involved to address the employee concerns.
We have created this handbook as a quick and handy reference to many of the safety and health policies and procedures, realizing that the ASH Book is not updated as frequently nor detailed as those policies/procedures; hence we incorporated references to the controlled policy/procedure/document so that the most updated procedure can be followed.
