LIFE SAVING RULES
WHO DECIDES TO BREAK THE RULES, DECIDES NOT TO
WORK FOR MOL GROUP
2A message from the CEO
The Life Saving Rules set out clear and simple
dos and donts 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, Im 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
3What 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.
4What is our goal?

7Consequences of breaching the rules
All rule-breaking cases will be investigated
thoroughly.
Rule violators expose themselves or others to a
higher risk of injury or fatality.
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.
81. Smoke only at designated areas, do not use
ignition source
- Any piece of equipment that is or could be an
ignition source, such as a grinder, drilling
machine etc. at an area with fire / explosion
hazard, such as technological area is extremely
dangerous and forbidden without the correct
permit to work and fire prevention measures.
Smoking or use of matches or cigarette lighters
could set on fire flammable materials or cause an
explosion. Smoking at designated, clearly signed
areas will keep you safe from causing fire or
explosion. - As a worker, I have to
- Learn where the designated smoking areas are
- Intervene and report if I see someone smoking
outside a designated area - Avoid using any ignition sources in technological
areas without a permit to work and fire
prevention measures.
92. Verify energy isolation before work
- Isolation separates and keeps you safe from the
hazards of various energy sources that can exist
at any job site. These hazardous energy sources
are typically electric current, stored
electricity (e.g. capacitors), high pressure,
toxic materials, poisonous gases, chemicals (e.g.
flammable liquids), hot liquids/steam, radiation
or moving/rotating machine parts (e.g. compressed
spring) etc. - As a worker, I have to
- Understand the isolations that protect me from
danger - Confirm with the supervisor that isolations are
in place - Confirm with the supervisor that it is safe to
start work.
103. Obtain and follow permit to work
- A permit to work describes what hazards you are
likely to encounter while you are working and how
these hazards must be controlled to keep you
safe. 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. - As a worker, I have to
- Confirm with the shift lead / foreman that it is
safe to start work - Confirm with the watchman that I can enter a
confined space - Follow the requirements of the permit to work.
- As a watchman to a confined space, I have to
- Approve and control access to a confined space
- Have means of communication with people in the
confined space - Be aware of emergency rescue measures and carry
those out as necessary.
114. 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). Always use a personal fall arrest
system when working outside a protective
environment where you can fall over 2 metres. A
protective environment includes approved
scaffolds, stairs or platforms with guardrails
and man lifts. Personal respiratory protection
equipment must always be used if you are exposed
or could be exposed to hazardous agents or to a
hazardous atmosphere (e.g. when oxygen levels are
low or the space is filled with nitrogen), as
required by the permit to work. - As a worker, I have to
- Be aware of what fall protection equipment to use
and how to use it - Be aware of what respiratory protection equipment
to use and how to use it - Check equipment before using it, always connect
the personal fall arrest system to an anchor
point when working at height outside of a
protective environment - Refuse work if not sure how to use the life
saving PPE.
125. Conduct gas tests whenever required
- During some works or in specific work areas the
atmosphere has to be tested to prevent explosions
and/or make sure you and other people on-site can
breathe the air safely. Examples for such works
are entry into a confined space and hot works,
where initial gas testing is always obligatory
and continuous testing is also often required. - As a worker, I have to
- Confirm with the shift lead / foreman that the
atmosphere is tested - Confirm with the shift lead / foreman that it is
safe to start work - Wear the calibrated personal gas detector if
required by the permit to work or site
regulation - Stop work if I smell gas or the personal gas
detector alarms.
136. Do not carry out work in trenches without
appropriate shoring
- No matter how safe an excavated trench or pit may
seem to you, it can turn unnoticed into a deadly
trap after a short rain or depositing material
next to it. Shoring or sloping the sidewalls
easily gets you on the safe side. - As a worker, I have to
- Enter a trench or pit deeper than 1.2 metres
(approx. chest level) that is not protected by
shoring or doesnt have sloped side walls.
147. 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 worker, I have to
- Obtain authorisation from the shift lead /
foreman before overriding or disabling
safety-critical equipment - Never remove any safety signs.
158. Do not violate safe lifting rules
- Working or walking immediately under a suspended
load is unsafe as the load can fall on you. Using
damaged, undersized or incompatible rigging
equipment or incorrect rigging methods seriously
increases the risk of a load to accidentally
fall. Some lifting activities involve increased
hazards (like lifting heavy loads close to crane
capacity or over critical technological areas),
these are called critical lifting. - As a worker, I have to
- Make sure never to cross an area with a suspended
load hazard, whether indicated with tapes or
barriers or not - Follow the instructions of the signaller.
Some lifting activities involve increased
hazards (like lifting heavy loads close to crane
capacity or over critical technological areas),
these are called critical lifting.
169. No alcohol or drugs before and during working
- Using alcohol, illegal drugs and misusing legal
drugs or other substances will not only reduce
your ability to do your job safely, but will
expose your colleagues to increased risk. - As a worker, I have to
- Always inform the shift lead / foreman if Im
taking medicine that may have an effect on my
capabilities or performance. If in doubt I always
check with the shift lead / foreman who will seek
medical advice - Avoid using, keeping, selling or distributing
illegal drugs - Report any case of alcohol or drugs abuse
- Avoid taking any risk if I dont feel fit to work.
1710. 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 worker, I have to
- Refuse any work that violates the Life Saving
Rules - Intervene and report if somebody violates the
Life Saving Rules.
