API Recommended Practice 1169

This recommended practice (RP) covers the basic requirements and their associated references needed to perform inspection activities safely and effectively during construction of new on-shore pipelines. Use of this document will provide the basis for what construction inspectors need to have a basic knowledge of and where to find detailed information related to each

facet of new pipeline construction inspection activities.

The requirements are organized into the following major sec-tions: Inspector responsibilities, Personnel and general pipeline safety, Environmental and pollution control, General pipeline construction inspection.

Users of this document include those individuals either en-gaged in pipeline construction inspection or seeking to be-come certified inspectors. Pipeline owner/operators and pipeline inspection service companies may also use this docu-

ment to aid and enhance their inspector training programs.

Testing will start taking place in the fall of 2014.

Training

Reminder: The General Inspector Roles and Responsi-bilities Training Module (All Inspectors), the Inspec-tor Excavation Module (All projects involving exca-vations), and the Inspector Welding Module (All pro-jects involving welding) should be completed annual-ly, if applicable. If you have not completed the mod-ules within the past 12 months, please complete them as soon as possible. They are located on the Mara-thon training website, and any questions can be di-

rected to me.

Some other questions have come out about the MPL Excavation Plan Ques-tionnaire. The guideline for the ques-tionnaire, it is required to be written for High Risk Sites and be verbal for Low Risk Sites. The Excavation Plan Questionnaire is site specific and dig

specific.

In the coming months some new changes will be occurring. Please con-tinue to follow each states current

regulations.

Improvement Surveys

Dear Inspector,

As of July 2014, I will be implementing the M&TE Project Lead-

er Continued Improvement Survey. This survey is to be filled out by

the Inspector at the end of the project. This tool will give the Inspec-

tor a voice of how we can improve and also make your jobs easier.

This is not intended to be a gripe session. Your comments are valued

and hopefully will improve the overall success of M&TE and our

quality of our projects. I realize this is another piece of paperwork

to add to your load but it doesn’t take long to fill this out and is con-

fidential. When you hit submit it sends this exclusively to me and will

be shared anonymously with the group as learning moments. Also

feel free to contact me if an issue cannot wait until the end of the

project.

I appreciate your involvement and dedication in helping us try

to improve our processes and business. You are a vital part of our

success and I value your suggestions and comments.

Sincerely,

Jay Logsdon

Heat stress is a buildup of body heat generated either in-

ternally by muscle use or externally by the environment. Heat

exhaustion and heat stroke result when the body is over-

whelmed by heat. As the heat increases, body temperature

and the heart rate rise painlessly. An increase in body tempera-

ture of two degrees Fahrenheit can affect mental functioning.

A five degree Fahrenheit increase can result in serious illness or

death. During hot weather, heat illness may be an underlying

cause of other types of injuries, such as heart attacks, falls and

equipment accidents.

Heat Stress Plan

Page 7

Definitions:

Heat Stress – a buildup of heat in the body generated while working in hot environ-

ments.

Environmental risk factors for heat illness – include air temperature, relative humidity,

radiant heat from the sun, process equipment, and other conductive heat sources.

Personal risk factors for heat illness – factors such as individual’s age, degree of accli-

mation, health, water consumption, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, and

use of prescription medications that affect the body’s water retention or other physio-

logical responses to heat. *Contact physician with regards to

usage of your medication*

Safe Zone – an area located at least 5 feet from the work area where a shield of some

sort is used to block direct sunlight and may include some form of ventilation. Cano-

pies, umbrellas, and other temporary structures or devices may be used to provide

shade. In this area workers are allowed to take off hard hat and safety glasses, unzip

coveralls, and roll up sleeves or take off FR shirts. External cooling devices can be uti-

lized in the Safe Zone area.

Cool down period – the time period when an employee stops work and rehydrates to

avoid heat illness.

External Cooling Device – mechanical or electrical device used in a Safe Zone to pro-

vide air movement or moisture to aid in cool down; examples include a fan or misting

device.

Personal Cooling Device – an article worn by an individual to help stay cool while

working; examples include cool vests or wetted bandanas worn around the neck or on

top of the head. Cool vests may be worn outside of FR clothing but may be more ef-

fective under the FR.

Heat Stress Plan (Cont.)

Health Facts:

Chronic health conditions that may predispose you to heat illness include congestive heart

failure, diabetes, obesity, and emphysema.

Urine is a better indicator of dehydration than thirst alone

Dark urine = indicates dehydration

Water = first choice for rehydrating

Electrolyte drinks (“Gatorade”) should be used at a 1 cup Gatorade to 2 cups water

ratio.

**Electrolyte drinks should never be sole source of fluid.

Replace excessive loss of body fluids by drinking generous amounts of water.

Approximately one cup every 20-30 minutes

Start drinking water at the beginning of each work period

Don’t wait until you are thirsty to start drinking fluids

Good Hygiene

Let wet clothes dry

Bring a change of clothes if necessary

Wash work clothes regularly

**Moisture and dirt can trap heat, making you hotter

Work Tips:

Wear tee shirt and shorts beneath FRC coveralls

Coveralls are generally cooler than pant / shirt combinations.

Perform the hardest work in the morning or evening, save lighter work for the warmer time

of the day.

Lighter colored FR coveralls (beige color) stay cooler than darker colors (navy blue).

White hard hats stay cooler than colored hardhats (red, blue, black)

Signs & Symptoms / First Aid Measures and Field Guidance for Heat Stress Prevention based

on ambient air temperature are provided in the next two tables.

If you have any questions regarding Heat Stress, please contact your Supervisor or a Safety

Professional.
