Preamble
Indian petroleum industry is the energy lifeline of the nation and its continuous performance is essential
for sovereignty and prosperity of the country. As the industry essentially deals with inherently
inflammable substances throughout its value chain – upstream, midstream and downstream – Safety is
of paramount importance to this industry as only safe performance at all times can ensure optimum ROI
of these national assets and resources including sustainability.
While statutory organizations were in place all along to oversee safety aspects of Indian petroleum
industry, Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) was set up in 1986 Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Gas, Government of India as a knowledge centre for formulation of constantly updated world-scale
standards for design, layout and operation of various equipment, facility and activities involved in this
industry. Moreover, OISD was also given responsibility of monitoring implementation status of these
standards through safety audits.
In more than 25 years of its existence, OISD has developed a rigorous, multi-layer, iterative and
participative process of development of standards – starting with research by in-house experts and
iterating through seeking & validating inputs from all stake-holders – operators, designers, national level
knowledge authorities and public at large – with a feedback loop of constant updation based on ground
level experience obtained through audits, incident analysis and environment scanning.
The participative process followed in standard formulation has resulted in excellent level of compliance
by the industry culminating in a safer environment in the industry. OISD – except in the Upstream
Petroleum Sector – is still a regulatory (and not a statutory) body but that has not affected
implementation of the OISD standards. It also goes to prove the old adage that self-regulation is the best
regulation. The quality and relevance of OISD standards had been further endorsed by their adoption in
various statutory rules of the land.
Petroleum industry in India is significantly globalized at present in terms of technology content requiring
its operation to keep pace with the relevant world scale standards & practices. This matches the OISD
philosophy of continuous improvement keeping pace with the global developments in its target
environment. To this end, OISD keeps track of changes through participation as member in large number
of International and national level Knowledge Organizations – both in the field of standard development
and implementation & monitoring in addition to updation of internal knowledge base through continuous
research and application surveillance, thereby ensuring that this OISD Standard, along with all other
extant ones, remains relevant, updated and effective on a real time basis in the applicable areas.
Together we strive to achieve NIL incidents in the entire Hydrocarbon Value Chain. This, besides other
issues, calls for total engagement from all levels of the stake holder organizations, which we, at OISD,
fervently look forward to.
Jai Hind!!!

FOREWORD
The Oil Industry in India is more than 100 years old. Because of various
collaboration agreements, a variety of international codes, standards and practices have
been in vogue. Standardisation in design philosophies and operation and maintenance
practices at a national level was hardly in existence. This coupled with feed back from
some serious accidents that occurred in the recent past in India and abroad, emphasised
the need for the industry to review the existing state- of- the-art in designing, operating
and maintaining oil and gas installations.
With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986
constituted a Safety Council assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD)
staffed from within the industry in formulating and implementing a series of self
regulatory measures aimed at removing obsolescence, standardising and upgrading the
existing standards to ensure safe operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted a number
of functional committees of experts nominated from the industry to draw up standards
and guidelines on various subjects.
The present guideline was prepared by the Functional Committee on “Medical
requirements, emergency evacuation and facilities ”. The document is based on the
accumulated knowledge and experience of industry members and the various national
and international codes and practices.
Suggestions are invited from the users after it is put into practice to improve the
document further. Suggestions for amendments to this document should be addressed to the
Coordinator, Committee on “Medical requirements, emergency evacuation and facilities”,

1.0 Introduction
The Indian Oil Industry Upstream operations covers a wide range of activities and
involves a substantial number of human resources. With the increasing degree of complexity of
work undertaken by this industry, the involved personnel are exposed to a certain degree of risk.
In order to bring uniformity in the level of health care and to provide a common standard of
Medical Facilities and Evacuation for all exposed personnel, the formulation of common
guidelines on the subject was considered essential.
These guidelines will provide norms for Medical Requirements, Emergency Evacuation
and Facilities.
2.0 Scope
Guidelines covers activities undertaken by the Upstream oil sector industries. All
personnel employed either as regular or as contractual employees are covered by these
guidelines. Guidelines covers the following aspects :

The training requirements would apply to the Field as well as Base medic/Doctor and
also to all exposed personnel (regular as well as contractual employees). Since a Field First
Aider, in most cases, works in isolation without the support of a medical team, he needs to be
self sufficient in performing his duties.
In addition to specialised training courses such as Fire prevention & Control and Survival at
Sea, the Medic needs to be well versed with medical problems and treatment of the following,
but not limited to :
It is recommended that the following training courses be made mandatory for all personnel
• First Aid
• Fire Fighting and prevention
• Survival at Sea (For offshore going personnel)
• Desert Survival Techniques (For personnel deployed in Desert terrain)
