20、ferenced for certain components of the equipment described in some API standards. It has been of extreme usefulness in minimizing fire hazards associated with petroleum processing. It has also been a universal sealing material, compatible with most refining fluid services.Certain serious adverse hea

21、lth effects are associated with asbestos, among them the serious and often fatal diseases of lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma (a cancer of the chest and abdominal linings). The degree of exposure to asbestos varies with the product and the work practices involved.Consult the most recent edi

22、tion of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Standard for Asbestos, Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite, 29 Code of Federal Regulations Section 1910.1001; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Emission St

23、andard for Asbestos, 40 Code of Federal Regulations Sections 61.140 through 61.156; and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule on labeling requirements and phased banning of asbestos products (Sections 763.160-179).There are currently in use and under development a number of substitute

24、materials to replace asbestos in certain applications. Manufacturers and users are encouraged to develop and use effective substitute materials that can meet the specifications for, and operating requirements of, the equipment to which they would apply.SAFETY AND HEALTH INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO P

36、 . . . 16v1Planning and Conducting Surface Preparation and Coating Operations for Oil and Natural Gas Drilling and Production Facilities in a Marine Environment1 Scope Worldwide, marine exploration, production, development and decommissioning operations are conducted from a variety of structures (in

37、stallations, as defined herein). These installations must be inspected periodically and maintained in order to assure structural integrity and minimize pollution risks. Maintenance of an offshore structure, regardless of its classifica-tion, necessarily includes blasting and coating activities. The

38、purpose of this publication is to establish practices and pro-cedures that should be followed to minimize the discharge of spent blast abrasive, and paint overspray to the surrounding waters during these activities, to meet the spirit of MARPOL Annex V. Additionally, any maintenance waste which is c

39、ap-tured must be properly packaged and shipped to shore for disposal. This publication also addresses procedures to contain and capture maintenance waste, including, but not limited to, spent blast abrasive and associated materials, during such maintenance activities on marine structures. The safety

40、 of personnel is the most important consideration for all work activ-ities. Consequently, any blasting and coating work conducted shall consider the safety of personnel as paramount. Other types of discharges that may be permitted by various regulatory authorities, are outside the scope of this docu

41、ment. These would include (1) discharges in compliance with a relevant governmental permit (e.g., the applicable provisions of the U.S. Clean Water Act or the applicable sections of European Community EC Dangerous Substances Directives), (2) dis-charges resulting from circumstances identified and re

42、viewed and made part of the public record with respect to a permit issued or modified and subject to a condition in such permit, and (3) continuous or anticipated intermittent discharges from a point source, identified in a permit or permit application which are caused by events occurring within the

43、 scope of rele-vant operating or treatment systems. Additionally, containment issues for operations below the water line are outside the scope of this document.1.1 DEFINITIONSThe following definitions are provided to help clarify and explain the use of certain terms in this publication. Users should

44、 recog-nize that certain terms utilized in this publication may have a different meaning than in other API publications.1.1.1 abrasive blasting: The operation of cleaning or preparing a surface by forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against the surface.1.1.2 barrier: Items so placed as

45、 to prevent movement of personnel or material from one area to another.1.1.3 coating operations: The operation of placing or replacing the coating, which is generally paint, on a surface that has been appropriately cleaned.1.1.4 containment system: The cover panels, screens, tarps, scaffolds, plywoo

46、d, supports, and shrouds used to enclose a work area or coating removal tool. The purpose is to minimize or prevent the abrasive coating preparation materials generated during surface preparation from entering into the environment, and to facilitate the controlled collection of the abrasive material

47、s, as applicable, for recycling or disposal. 1.1.5 contractor: Any person or company that contracts or subcontracts to provide services to the owner/operator.1.1.6 discharge: For the purpose of this document, a discharge is any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping of s

48、pent blast abrasive, paint overspray, or other materials associated with surface preparation and coating operations.1.1.7 installation: For the purpose of this publication, a vessel or structure of any type, operating in the marine environment, including any facility, vessel, rig, platform, or other

49、 vehicle or structure, domestic or foreign, such as fixed and floating facilities and MODUs, used for offshore minerals exploration, production, development and decommissioning operations.1.1.8 maintenance waste: Materials collected while maintaining and operating the installation, including, but not limited to, soot, machinery deposits, scraped paint, deck sweepings, wiping wastes, and rags. 1.1.9 MARPOL 73/78: The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating to that Convention. 2 API BULLETIN 911.1.10 Maximum
