LIFE SAVING RULES
WHO DECIDES TO BREAK THE RULES,
DECIDES NOT TO WORK FOR MOL GROUP

3. A message from the CEO
„…The Life Saving Rules set out clear and simple “dos” and “don’ts” covering activities with the highest potential safety risk and apply to all employees and contractors. The best-performing companies operate within a simple framework of rules and trust their employees to do the right thing. Our Life Saving Rules will help us do the same. They are simple, sharp and do what they say – save lives.
As our workers, leaders, managers, supervisors and contractors, I’m asking you to make a personal commitment to the Life Saving Rules too, make sure everyone understands and follows them. Safety will always be our top priority and this shall be based on respecting each other and our rules. My message is a simple one - if you choose to violate the rules and do your job the unsafe way, then you choose not to work for MOL Group. We are determined to save lives.”
József Molnár
MOL Group CEO

4. What are the Life Saving Rules?
The Life Saving Rules are basic safety rules for high-risk works where failure to comply with the rules has the highest potential for serious injury or death. They also highlight simple actions individuals can take to protect themselves and others.
None of the Life Saving Rules is new, they have already been valid through various legal and internal regulations.
Most staff already comply every day.
The aim is not to blame employees but to drive a culture of compliance. The focus is on modifying worker and supervisor behaviours in the workplace by raising awareness.
Compliance is mandatory for everyone, MOL Group, contractor and sub-contractor employees alike.
Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action.

8. Consequences of breaching the rules
Rule violators expose themselves or others to a higher risk of injury or fatality.
All rule-breaking cases will be investigated thoroughly.
If the rule violator acted intentionally, the maximum appropriate disciplinary action will be applied.
For employees of contractors or sub-contractors, this can include removal from site and disqualification from future Company work.
If a supervisor sets the conditions for rule breaking or fails to follow through if one is broken, appropriate disciplinary action will apply.

9. What are the rules? Do not smoke outside designated areas
Verify energy is isolated before starting work
Obtain and follow a permit to work
Use correct lifesaving PPE whenever required
Conduct gas tests whenever required
Do not carry out work in trenches without effective shoring up
Do not remove safety signs or override / disable safety-critical equipment
Do not violate safe lifting rules
No alcohol or drugs before and during working
Comply and intervene

10. 1. Smoke only at designated areas, do not use ignition source
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Inform personnel about designated smoking areas;
Ensure the permit to work is obtained if hot work is carried out;
Inform personnel about hazards and rules of hot work.

11. 2. Verify energy isolation before work
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Be aware and inform personnel of the hazardous energy sources at the work site;
Confirm all hazardous energy sources have been isolated and isolations are in place, for example: blinds, fuse locks or valve handle locks;
Confirm no stored energy or other hazards remain;
Confirm that it is safe to start work.

12. 3. Obtain and follow permit to work
A permit to work must always be obtained prior to starting the following activities and followed throughout the job*: (1) Confined space entry, (2) Hot work, (3) Critical lifting, (4) Work at height and/or over water, (5) Ground disturbance, (6) Maintenance works of particularly increased risk or conditions (e.g. simultaneous operation, work on live high voltage system/equipment, opening of vessel/equipment with hazardous content, overriding safety critical equipment/system, high pressure cleaning etc.)
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Confirm that the requirements of the permit to work are in place;
Ensure that a watchman is always present when people are in a confined space;
Confirm that gas testing is carried out as per permit to work;
Confirm that it is safe to start to work.
*: This list is to be considered as minimum, further activities may be under permit to work obligation as defined locally. Performing a work different from what the permit to work was issued for is considered as working without a permit to work.

13. 4. Use correct lifesaving PPE whenever required
Personal Protective Equipment termed ‘life saving’ are personal fall arrest systems and personal respiratory protection equipment (except dust masks). A personal fall arrest system must be used when working outside a protective environment with a fall hazard over 2 metres.
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Make sure that the specific life saving PPE is available and personnel are trained;
Confirm that suitable anchor points are available if personal fall arrest system is to be used;
Confirm that it is safe to start work at height or in the hazardous or potentially hazardous atmosphere.

14. 5. Conduct gas tests whenever required
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Confirm that gas testing is carried out by trained personnel as per permit to work;
Ensure that enough calibrated gas detectors are available;
Request more gas tests if necessary to keep the workers safe;
Confirm that it is safe to start work.

15. 6. Do not carry out work in trenches without appropriate shoring
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Ensure that any pits or trenches deeper than 1.2 metres are sloped or protected by shoring;
Ensure that any pits or trenches deeper than 1.2 metres are considered as confined spaces.

16. 7. Do not remove safety signs or override / disable safety critical equipment
Examples of safety-critical equipment include isolation devices/emergency shut-down valves, lock out/tag out devices, trip systems, relief valves, fire and gas alarm systems, certain level controls, alarms, crane computers.
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Be aware and inform personnel of the safety-critical equipment in the work place;
Confirm that authorisation of overriding / disabling safety critical equipment does not put the safety of personnel, asset or the environment to risk;
Ensure necessary temporary control measures are in place when safety critical equipment is overridden / disabled.

17. 8. Do not violate safe lifting rules
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Ensure a signaller is appointed whenever necessary (eg. blind lifting, critical lifting*);
Make sure the lifting area is secured with tapes or barriers;
Make sure the lifting path is clear;
Ensure that rigging and lifting are both performed by competent persons;
Confirm that proper rigging equipment is used;
Ensure that nobody walks under a suspended load;
Stop lifting in the event of loss of communication.
*: Some lifting activities involve increased hazards (like lifting heavy loads close to crane capacity or over critical technological areas), these are called critical lifting.

18. 9. No alcohol or drugs before and during working
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
Assign work to people who are fit to work;
Immediately remove people from the work who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

19. 10. Comply and intervene
Keeping the Life Saving Rules will save lives. One who chooses not to keep the Life Saving Rules chooses not to work for MOL Group.

Provide a safe workplace and assign safe work in line with the Life Saving Rules;
Inspect the Life Saving Rules are followed;
Intervene if somebody violates the Life Saving Rules and apply consequences.

20. Your responsibility Know the Life Saving Rules: purpose; application;
reporting;
investigation;
consequences.
Ensure and verify that your and your sub-contractors personnel have been trained.
Keep your team engaged with the LSR, always recognize positive behavior.
Lead through personal example. Ensure and verify that the LSR are applied in a fair way.
Verify, measure and continuously improve compliance.

21. Sharing the LSR with your team
Discuss each rule with your team and ask them to relate the Rules to what is important in their particular work area, e.g. working at height.
Be clear that your expectation is that everyone, including you, will follow the Rules.
Express that involvement of your subordinates in system operation is essential.
Talk about how you will respond in the workplace if team members break a Life Saving Rule.
Be clear: if following a Rule means a job can’t be done, find alternative safe solution to complete the work. Encourage them to stop the work rather than break the Life Saving Rule or make a shortcut.

22. Tips for training the LSR
Familiarize yourself with the rules.
Try to use the slides as help rather than reading from the slide.
Think about the type of questions your team may ask you (and the answers you’ll give), as well as how to encourage discussion and engagement.
Put special focus on the reporting and investigation of rule violations, this topic will always be in the center of attention.
Tell your team how you are ‘living’ the Rules yourself. What do YOU intend to change? How will you behave differently?
Explain how you intend to recognize positive behavior.
