AISG GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Goal Drive down the number of
hydrocarbon releases (HCRs) and other process safety threats by
improving industry capability and action in the prevention and
management of Major Accident Hazards (MAH). Objectives Promote and
support industry efforts to reduce the number of HCRs. Help
industry to maintain facilities integrity and condition in
compliance with perf standards (structures, equipment, piping,
subsea, support systems etc.) Promote application of best practice
and industry learning from past major accidents (including learning
from other industries) to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
LOW OIL PRICE INDUSTRY MUST MAINTAIN MORE FOCUS THAN EVER ON ASSET
INTEGRITY
Slide 5
KEY AISG ACTIVITIES Build on HSE lead to drive actions to
reduce leaks and improve prevention and management of Major
Accident Hazards. Identify and promote application of best practice
and KPIs. Develop capability and culture in MAH prevention
management and HCR reduction. Leadership education in Process
Safety Management. All relevant UK companies involved. Includes
initiatives such as Mechanical Joint Integrity, Control of Work,
etc. in learning scope. Map contribution of the entire workforce
and tailor learning so that everyone can play their part. Encourage
and develop learning and sharing not only current incidents / near
misses, but learning from and continuous application of past
lessons. Better process and implementation of learning through
SADIE Embed continuous application of past learning. Promote
communication & engagement in MAH improvement actions:
Encourage site based approach across all installations, top to
bottom, including contractors. Engage at all levels OIMs, ESRs,
Safety Committees. Encourage everyone to play their part.

Slide 15
1. Competing pressures Low oil price / high operating costs
Pressure on resources: Budgets Reduced manning Reduced training
(competency) Ageing assets Surviving now v- securing the
future
Slide 16
2. Some fundamentals Good safety is an outcome of efficient
operational assets (hardware and software) Safe production is
integral to a well managed high hazard business Protecting the
asset and the workforce is the same thing MAHs are associated
(mainly) with HCRs: failed plant failed systems or both
Slide 17
3. So the key focus is: Ensuring HC hardware is properly
maintained Softer aspects are equally important, so process
knowledge competency manning levels communication lessons learned
etc And also related hardware like TRs, Blast walls, Emergency
systems, etc need to be considered.
Slide 18
4. HSEs Strategy Directed at MAH prevention Interventions
priorities are based on risk Targeted on key areas and topics
Principal focus on Hydrocarbon containment Supported by inspection
guides on Maintenance management SCE & Verification ORAs
Control of work Competence
Slide 19
5. AISG Purpose and Objectives Improve industry management of
Major Accident Hazards Promote and support HCR reduction Support
industry to maintain facilities integrity Promote the application
of best practice and learnings from major incidents (including from
other industries) Series of workgroups covering: HCR Improvements
and Implementation MAH Understanding MAH sharing and learning
Slide 20
6. So what does this mean Pulling together to develop universal
right answers has clear advantages for all in: Getting it right
Identifying and formulating best practice Standardisation;
consistency and simplification A common understanding of the
benchmarks A level playing field Resourcing and timescale Cost and
Value
Slide 21
7. And the Bigger picture Properly addressing MAH safety goes a
long way to maintaining safe and efficient production. A key part
is ensuring the integrity of the assets and the capability of the
personnel. This takes leadership and a recognition that everyone
(Dutyholders, Contractors, Stakeholders, Management and Workforce,
The Regulator) need to play their part. AISG is setting direction
for Industry. I would encourage you all support this valuable
role.

7 Key Themes: Performance Operational activities Investigation
Competence Integrity management Communication Human factors
Slide 25
TOPIC: Operation Activities The following questions are
designed to determine what systems and processes organisations have
in place to mitigate and control hydrocarbon releases QuestionGood
Practice / Hints 1 Describe how your control of work system manages
your preparation, breaking containment, management of the isolation
over time, and plant reinstatement. o Competence and training of
Personnel o Processes and Procedures o Safe isolation and
reinstatement practices o Permit system guidance on handovers,
actions to take if work is interrupted o Valve status register o
Isolation selection - determined by risk assessment o Register of
Long Term Isolations and the reason for isolation o Periodic review
of items on long term isolation register to determine if the
isolation remains appropriate, whether plant should be removed, or
if some other form of action is required 2 How does your
organisations change management system ensure that the status of
all plant is known and understood by everyone and that adequate
measures are in place to maintain it effectively? E.g. mothballed
or redundant equipment, decommissioned plant and equipment. o
Isolation Procedures o Register of Long Term Isolations o Register
of Dead legs o Locked valve control procedures o Changes outwith
the design intention should involve the examination of relevant
documentation to ensure continued safe operation
Slide 26
TOPIC: Operation Activities cont The following questions are
designed to determine what systems and processes organisations have
in place to mitigate and control hydrocarbon releases QuestionGood
Practice / Hints 3 What processes and procedures do you have in
place to manage bolted joints, flexible hoses and small bore
tubing? How does your organisation ensure their implementation can
prevent the likelihood of a HCR in these areas? o Implementation of
Energy Institute guidelines for small bore tubing, flexible hoses
and bolted joints o Guidance from HCR toolkit (step change) o Audit
use of procedures and procedural compliance o Suitable storage,
selection, installation & maintenance of small bore tubing o
Flexible hose register inspection dates/application/criticality
rating etc. o Assessed competencies for bolted joints, flexible
hosing and SBT 4 How do you ensure that you remain within your
plant design envelope? o Alarms & Trips o Operating Procedures
o Operator competence o Equipment maintenance o Audits of processes
and procedures 5 Describe how your organisation categorises,
records, trends and analyses hydrocarbon leaks, weeps and seeps. o
Weeps and seeps register o Categorisation of gas release rates
through gas monitor, or FLIR camera o Action levels for isolation,
shutdown and repair

Typical Limitations of our Learning Response and notification
Local learning Investigation Time passes, people move on, new
personnel appear, other locations / companies are not informed
Incident happens Solution: Improved proactive Sharing &
learning through better awareness of and accessibility to,
publications, and, Improved Quality and engagement of experience
shared
Slide 31
Learning, engaging and managing major accident hazards remain
at the core of how we can work together to further improve our
safety performance. Step Change in Safety has created Joined-up
Thinking presentations for onshore and offshore safety meetings.
The presentations tackle a number of issues that are directly
related to hydrocarbon releases and which could have devastating
consequences, if not otherwise prevented. Joined-up Thinking
presentations Each pack contains a five minute, high quality,
animated case study in video format with challenge questions at the
end. It is supported by easy-to-follow speaker notes and a special
bulletin which provides more details about the incident described
in the case study. February 2015 // Change ManagementChange
