Abstract

Specifies requirements for safety management for pipeline systems and covers all elements of the system designed, constructed or operated under AS(/NZS) 2885 series Standards, including mainline pipe and pipeline assemblies, stations and control systems.

Scope

This Standard specifies the SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROCESS for PIPELINE SYSTEMS and covers all elements of the system designed, constructed or operated under the AS(/NZS) 2885 series of Standards, including MAINLINE PIPE and PIPELINE ASSEMBLIES, STATIONS and control systems.
As safety management is a continuous process, this Standard applies throughout the life cycle of a PIPELINE SYSTEM from design to abandonment.
This Standard does not apply to workplace health and safety, construction safety, or environmental impacts other than resulting from a FAILURE EVENT, as other parts of the AS(/NZS) 2885 series contain specific requirements relevant to these areas.
NOTE: The APGA Code of Environmental Practice provides industry accepted guidance on environmental management through the planning and asset acquisition, construction, operational and decommissioning phases of a pipeline’s lifecycle.
