API RP 756-2024
Management of Hazards Associated with Location of Process Plant Tents

Scope: This Recommended Practice (RP) provides guidance for managing process-related explosion, fire, and toxic release risks to personnel in site tents. This document is based on API 752, Guide to Site Selection Assessment, and its related technical documents. Readers should refer to API 752 for guidance on the assessment of each hazard type. This RP applies to new and existing tents, whether they are designed to be mobile or for use in a specific fixed location. This RP was developed for refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, natural gas liquids extraction plants, natural gas liquefaction plants, and other onshore facilities, such as those covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSH) Process Safety Management Regulation 29 CFR 1910.119. Non-process-related hazards also exist and may pose risks to personnel in tents, including but not limited to fires in the tent, structural collapse due to extreme weather/seismic events, and objects falling or striking the tent. These non-process-related hazards are addressed by building design standards and applicable building codes/regulations and are outside the scope of this RP.
