1. API ANSI RP 754 Implementation Conference Call
September 26, 2011
2. Purpose of RP 754 Conference Calls
To drive broad adoption of API 754 throughout the Refining and Petrochemical industries
To drive consistency in Tier 1 and 2 metrics reporting in order to establish credibility and validity
To share learning's regarding the effective implementation of Tier 3 and 4 leading metrics
3. API (US Refining only):
17 companies reported
76 refineries
NPRA (US Refining only):
39 companies reported
107 refineries
5. Three areas from the 2010 data collection require further education to ensure data consistency:
PRD Discharges
Contractor hours
Consequences
6. Two ways to have a PSE involving a PRD (Pressure Relief Device):
A LOPC from a PRD that results in:
an employee, contractor or subcontractor “days away from work” injury and/or fatality; or
a hospital admission and/or fatality of a third-party; or
an officially declared community evacuation or community shelter-in-place; or
a fire or explosion resulting in greater than or equal to $25,000 of direct cost to the Company
or
an employee, contractor or subcontractor recordable injury; or
a fire or explosion resulting in greater than or equal to $2,500 of direct cost to the Company
A PRD discharge that both exceeds the Threshold Quantity (Tier 1 or 2) rate* and has one or more of the following four consequences:
Liquid carryover
Discharge to a potentially unsafe location
On-site shelter-in-place
Public protective measures (e.g. road closure)
* The Threshold Quantity rate is calculated at the PRD.
7. PSE Tiering for Releases from Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs)
12. Contractor hours include:
Embedded contractors
Specialty contractors
Project hours (if not major construction)
Contractor hours do not include:
Delivery drivers
Large-scale projects that are typically fenced-off and not connected to the existing process (i.e. major construction)
13. List all consequences for the Tier.
e.g. list both Threshold Release Quantities and Number of Days Away from Work or Fatalities
Exception: If the event is a fire or explosion, the chemical-released quantity is not required to report.
Basis: Chemical released is consumed by the fire/explosion.
However, if the fire/explosion results in secondary release points the site shall report threshold quantities of other chemicals released.
Do not list Tier 2 consequences in Tier 1 except for those related to human impact (i.e. employee, contractor, or sub-contractor recordable injuries ).
14. API and NPRA are reaching out to international organizations to encourage data collection alignment.
However, each organization will have its own report out.
Examples: ACC, CEFIC, CONCAWE, UKPIA
