PETRONAS in collaboration with the Department of Occupational Safety and Health Malaysia (DOSH) launched a new framework which will allow self-regulation in the management and operations of the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) on 26 February 2018.

 

The framework, known as Pengerang Integrated Complex OSH Administration Transformation (PICOAT), gives the empowerment to PETRONAS to regulate and oversee the management, safe operations, and integrity of its assets and facilities in the complex.

 

The engineering design of PIC facilities purposefully included features with elements of self-governance in asset integrity and process safety. They include Corrosion Management Plan (CMP); Thickness Measurement Location (TML) with baseline readings taken during project construction; PETRONAS Instrumented Protective Function (P-IPF); PETRONAS Risk Based Inspection (P-RBI); Electrical Safety and Operability Review (P-ELSOR) and Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM).

 

PICOAT is indeed a two pronged strategy that will offer mutual benefit to both parties, for DOSH it means optimising inspection activities and enforcement, and for PETRONAS commercial value via optimisation of operation run-length through self-managed planned shutdowns and maintenance schedules.

 

In the long term Asset Integrity and OSH Excellence is expected to extend the service life of PIC facilities and in the future PICOAT could potentially be emulated by other plants.
