The international association of oil and gas producers. Safety performance indicators – 2104 data

Hours worked – Company vs Contractor

Safety case – requirement to demonstrate you can safely manage foreseeable risk.

At a contract level – not all contractors are equal

Potential High Consequence Activity (PHCA)

“An activity performed by a Contractor where their action or inaction could lead directly to the realisation of a major incident.”

In my business unit there are 306 PHCA contractors companies out of approximately 1200 Spread across exploration, drilling, subsea, logistics, construction, production, maintenance, pipelines, terminals, shipping, decommissioning, and many more.

There is more focus on the PHCA contractors .

For each PHCA contractor Contract accountable manager (CAM) assigned with specific responsibilities in HSE. The CAM is responsible for ensuring the following is in place prior to mobilisation

• Management system bridging documents • Contractor HSE plan including self verification plan is robust

• Competency, equipment inspection/calibration, procedures • Oversight plan in in place with Key Performance Indications tracked

• Sample and Test of self verification

With all of that going on – how do we find space for “personal” Health and Safety?

Safety Safety And more safety There's lots of safety… With a strong pause the job culture

What about Health? Medicals Health surveillance Wellness & health promotion That's health – right?

So what have we done? Before the worksite: Qualified Occupational Hygienists Mandatory health mapping/risk assessment Engaging with engineers and work planners to make the workplace healthier by design following the hierarchy of control Using bridging documents with contractors to test their understanding

At the front line Offshore medics – upskilled – Occupational hygiene technicians and champions. All backed by fully qualified hygienists. Work closely with the safety team – upskill them. Monitoring programmes – targeted health surveillance Build on the “pause the job” culture to include health issues Regulatory oversight After the job sharing with our peers via the OGUK, EI, BOHS

That might not sound like a huge amount. However Its targeted & its playing the long game.

To close In a high hazard industry – there are lots of really important things for obvious reasons. Personal health is one of them, however it has to be seen in context. We have to target our interventions. My advice for what its worth, • Pragmatic professional advice early in design • Target the big stuff and play the long game • Build in house knowledge at an appropriate level
