LIFE SAVING RULES
WHO DECIDES TO BREAK THE RULES,
DECIDES NOT TO WORK FOR MOL GROUP
A message from the CEO
„…The Life Saving Rules set out clear and simple “dos” and “don’ts” covering activities with the
highest potential safety risk and apply to all employees and contractors. The best-performing
companies operate within a simple framework of rules and trust their employees to do the right
thing. Our Life Saving Rules will help us do the same. They are simple, sharp and do what they say
– save lives.
As our workers, leaders, managers, supervisors and contractors, I’m asking you to make a personal
commitment to the Life Saving Rules too, make sure everyone understands and follows them.
Safety will always be our top priority and this shall be based on respecting each other and our
rules. My message is a simple one - if you choose to violate the rules and do your job the unsafe
way, then you choose not to work for MOL Group. We are determined to save lives.”
József Molnár
MOL Group CEO
What are the Life Saving Rules?
• The Life Saving Rules are basic safety rules for high-risk works where failure to comply with the
rules has the highest potential for serious injury or death. They also highlight simple actions
individuals can take to protect themselves and others.
• None of the Life Saving Rules is new, they have already been valid through various legal and
internal regulations.
• Most staff already comply every day.
• The aim is not to blame employees but to drive a culture of compliance. The focus is on modifying
worker and supervisor behaviours in the workplace by raising awareness.
• Compliance is mandatory for everyone, MOL Group, contractor and sub-contractor employees
alike.
• Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action.

Consequences of breaching the rules
Rule violators
expose
themselves or
others to a
higher risk of
injury or
fatality.
All rulebreaking cases
will be
investigated
thoroughly.
If the rule
violator acted
intentionally,
the maximum
appropriate
disciplinary
action will be
applied.
For employees of
contractors or
sub-contractors,
this can include
removal from
site and
disqualification
from future
Company work.
If a supervisor
sets the
conditions for
rule breaking or
fails to follow
through if one is
broken,
appropriate
disciplinary
action will apply.
What are the rules?
1.
Do not smoke outside designated areas
2.
Verify energy is isolated before starting work
3.
Obtain and follow a permit to work
4.
Use correct lifesaving PPE whenever required
5.
Conduct gas tests whenever required
6.
Do not carry out work in trenches without effective shoring up
7.
Do not remove safety signs or override / disable safety-critical equipment
8.
Do not violate safe lifting rules
9.
No alcohol or drugs before and during working
10. Comply and intervene
1. Smoke only at designated areas, do not
use ignition source
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Inform personnel about designated smoking areas;
• Ensure the permit to work is obtained if hot work is carried out;
• Inform personnel about hazards and rules of hot work.
2. Verify energy isolation before work
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Be aware and inform personnel of the hazardous energy sources at the work site;
• Confirm all hazardous energy sources have been isolated and isolations are in place, for
example: blinds, fuse locks or valve handle locks;
• Confirm no stored energy or other hazards remain;
• Confirm that it is safe to start work.
3. Obtain and follow permit to work
A permit to work must always be obtained prior to starting the following activities and followed
throughout the job*: (1) Confined space entry, (2) Hot work, (3) Critical lifting, (4) Work at height
and/or over water, (5) Ground disturbance, (6) Maintenance works of particularly increased risk
or conditions (e.g. simultaneous operation, work on live high voltage system/equipment, opening
of vessel/equipment with hazardous content, overriding safety critical equipment/system, high
pressure cleaning etc.)
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Confirm that the requirements of the permit to work are in place;
• Ensure that a watchman is always present when people are in a confined space;
• Confirm that gas testing is carried out as per permit to work;
• Confirm that it is safe to start to work.
*: This list is to be considered as minimum, further activities may be under permit to work obligation as defined locally. Performing a work
different from what the permit to work was issued for is considered as working without a permit to work.
4. Use correct lifesaving PPE whenever
required
Personal Protective Equipment termed ‘life saving’ are personal fall arrest systems and personal
respiratory protection equipment (except dust masks). A personal fall arrest system must be used
when working outside a protective environment with a fall hazard over 2 metres.
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Make sure that the specific life saving PPE is available and personnel are trained;
• Confirm that suitable anchor points are available if personal fall arrest system is to be used;
• Confirm that it is safe to start work at height or in the hazardous or potentially hazardous
atmosphere.
5. Conduct gas tests whenever required
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Confirm that gas testing is carried out by trained personnel as per permit to work;
• Ensure that enough calibrated gas detectors are available;
• Request more gas tests if necessary to keep the workers safe;
• Confirm that it is safe to start work.
6. Do not carry out work in trenches
without appropriate shoring
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Ensure that any pits or trenches deeper than 1.2 metres are sloped or protected by shoring;
• Ensure that any pits or trenches deeper than 1.2 metres are considered as confined spaces.
7. Do not remove safety signs or override
/ disable safety critical equipment
Examples of safety-critical equipment include isolation devices/emergency shut-down valves, lock
out/tag out devices, trip systems, relief valves, fire and gas alarm systems, certain level controls,
alarms, crane computers.
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Be aware and inform personnel of the safety-critical equipment in the work place;
• Confirm that authorisation of overriding / disabling safety critical equipment does not put the
safety of personnel, asset or the environment to risk;
• Ensure necessary temporary control measures are in place when safety critical equipment is
overridden / disabled.
8. Do not violate safe lifting rules
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Ensure a signaller is appointed whenever necessary (eg. blind lifting, critical lifting*);
• Make sure the lifting area is secured with tapes or barriers;
• Make sure the lifting path is clear;
• Ensure that rigging and lifting are both performed by competent persons;
• Confirm that proper rigging equipment is used;
• Ensure that nobody walks under a suspended load;
• Stop lifting in the event of loss of communication.
*: Some lifting activities involve increased hazards (like lifting heavy loads close to crane capacity or over critical technological areas), these are
called critical lifting.
9. No alcohol or drugs before and during
working
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Assign work to people who are fit to work;
• Immediately remove people from the work who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
10. Comply and intervene
Keeping the Life Saving Rules will save lives. One who chooses not to keep the Life Saving Rules
chooses not to work for MOL Group.
As a supervisor / shift lead / foreman, I have to:
• Provide a safe workplace and assign safe work in line with the Life Saving Rules;
• Inspect the Life Saving Rules are followed;
• Intervene if somebody violates the Life Saving Rules and apply consequences.
Your responsibility
Know the Life
Saving Rules:
purpose;
application;
reporting;
investigation;
consequences.
Ensure and
verify that your
and your subcontractors
personnel have
been trained.
Keep your team
engaged with
the LSR, always
recognize
positive
behavior.
Lead through
personal
example.
Ensure and
verify that the
LSR are applied
in a fair way.
Verify, measure
and continuously
improve
compliance.
Sharing the LSR with your team
•
Discuss each rule with your team and ask them to relate the Rules to what is important in their
particular work area, e.g. working at height.
•
Be clear that your expectation is that everyone, including you, will follow the Rules.
•
Express that involvement of your subordinates in system operation is essential.
•
Talk about how you will respond in the workplace if team members break a Life Saving Rule.
•
Be clear: if following a Rule means a job can’t be done, find alternative safe solution to
complete the work. Encourage them to stop the work rather than break the Life Saving Rule or
make a shortcut.
Tips for training the LSR
•
Familiarize yourself with the rules.
•
Try to use the slides as help rather than reading from the slide.
•
Think about the type of questions your team may ask you (and the answers you’ll give), as well
as how to encourage discussion and engagement.
•
Put special focus on the reporting and investigation of rule violations, this topic will always be
in the center of attention.
•
Tell your team how you are ‘living’ the Rules yourself. What do YOU intend to change? How will
you behave differently?
•
Explain how you intend to recognize positive behavior.
