8. Ensure the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets for the pipeline media are adhered to.
9. As a minimum the following PPE is required when performing hydraulic retrieval operations:
h. Hard Hat
i.
Safety glasses
j.
Long sleeved fire-retardant shirt & fire-retardant trousers or full -length fire retardant
coveralls
k. Hearing protection
l.
Chemical resistant latex gloves or equivalent
m. Gloves suitable for mechanical operations e.g. Cheetah or Ironclad
n. Additional PPE may be required depending on facility requirements and / or MSDS
requirements
10. When bleeding the contents of the hydraulic retrieval tool ensure an appropriate container with
an earth strap is used to remove the risk of static discharge.
3.3 Preparations (pre job)
Before any retrieval operations are initiated, key points need to be checked and verified. From a strictly
general point of view these are typically including, but not limited to:
1. Use of the Hydraulic Retriever Tool involves bleeding off pressurized fluid/gas from the pipe
system. If the pipe system contains hydrocarbons, bleeding off liquid/gas might trigger gas
detectors, hence such operations must always be clarified with the operators before the job
starts.
2. Have Job Safety & Environment Analysis filled out and Work Permit Active before starting any
work.
3. Control room / facility operators are to be notified when work starts or stops at each location to
ensure any gas detectors can be bypassed and hot work nearby can be stopped.
4. Verify size of Retrieval tool is sufficient for the actual device length to be retrieved at each
location.
5. Make sure to have appropriate container with earth strap, absorbent matting, and rags available
to capture any liquids that may come out during the bleed-off of the retrieval tool.
6. Inspect all parts of the retrieval tool and service valve and pump before using.
See Roxar HRT Maintenance Procedure [section 4].
It's important that all safety precautions are taken, and a safe job analysis is
Never place yourself in direct line when working on potential pressurized components,
performed before any installation work is started
like locking pins, probe adapters, plug nuts.
