As industry returns to work and restarts planning and execution of turnarounds and other maintenance projects, there will be regulatory, corporate and social responsibilities in order to safely restart and sustain activities. Major maintenance events and projects already bring complex challenges as multiple activities are carried out by numerous personnel and contractors, in a short duration of time. This risk is further amplified with the additional restrictions, challenges and complications posed by COVID-19. The key challenge for turnaround managers in current times is to ensure the safety of their personnel while delivering a successful turnaround. Through a detailed analysis and breakdown of the various stages of a turnaround, this paper attempts to answer one core question- How do you keep onsite personnel safe during turnarounds in the COVID-19 era? United Safety has developed a series of planning and prevention tools to help projects identify and implement robust actions that prevent the spread of COVID-19 onsite. These steps have been successfully implemented on site during a turnaround for a major Client in Canada. From additional precautions to new operating procedures, modifications were made at various stages including pre-planning, during the turnaround and post-turnaround stage to ensure the safety of onsite personnel. The result was an incident-free turnaround with zero recorded transmissions on site and a comprehensive COVID-19 Turnaround Response Plan. |
