RESOURCING TEAMS BASED ON KEY PROJECT RISKSLouise Whiting, Director at Barberton Limited
SUMMARY
The problem statement
The benefits
The approach
Different stages of the lifecycle
Conclusion
THE PROBLEM STATEMENTI need a red car.
What I got
What I needed
AN ILL INFORMED
BUYER
But not knowing exactly what you want doesn’t mean you need to be an ill-informed buyer. We have the internet…
Here is what I propose
This applies too to engineering projects……
Regardless of what you’re buying if you are not knowledgeable in the subject you won’t get what you
need or want you will get what is available or what meets someone else's needs.
WHY SHOULD
YOU CHANGE?
IEC 61511 for the process industry requires that anyone working with safety critical equipment is competent
That includes design and risk assessment
It’s good for business, the solution will be fit for purpose and cost effective (not one or the other)
It’s great for operations, reducing the inherent risk built into your facility
It’s not too hard to achieve
THE APPROACH
• Based around the Hazard Risk Assessment as defined in BS EN 61511
Concept Selection and Concept Maturation
Detailed Design
Installation, Commissioning and Validation
Operation, Maintenance and Modification
Decommissioning

AN IDEAL START
• Starting at the Hazard Risk Assessment• Identifying potential specialist items which may occur• Getting specialist support• Documenting your HRA well identifying your key risks• Document risks in two categories
• High frequency low severity• Low frequency high severity
AN EXAMPLEScenario
MAH Potential High FrequencyOps Comm Decom Const Ops Comm Decom Const
Welding super structure for offshore platform could result in injury or fatality from close contact with hot torch or inappropriate usage or storage of welding gasses.
Y Y Y
Poor quality welding due to unavailability of competent welders or required quality materials leading to unrevealed flaws in weld metallurgy. Preferential corrosion at weld leading to loss of containment with the potential for fire, explosion (if released in congested area) and in worst case 15 fatalities due to close proximity of office building to pipeline.
Y Y Y
Etc.
USING THE RISKS TO GUIDE TEAM BUILDING
1. Can this hazard be eliminated from the design?
2. Which standards will help me?3. Which interview questions?
ELIMINATION: EXAMPLE
• Can welding be eliminated from the project?
• Short Answer: No
• Long Answer: Oxyacetylene introduces additional hazards during construction phase and this can be replaced with propane. Reducing the risk but not eliminating risk associated with handling pressurised flammable gasses
IDENTIFYING STANDARDS:
EXAMPLE
WHICH INTERVIEW QUESTIONS: EXAMPLE• Identify the disciplines:
• Engineers• Supervisors• HSE champions• Quality assurance• Welders
EXAMPLE QUESTIONS
• Supervisor What standard could be used to help manage the risk associated with propane welding? Only one standard was active BS ISO 10225
• Welder Can you show me or talk me through some of the checks that you would complete on a propane torch before using it?
SOME TIPS
Differentiate between knowledge and application
Qualifications do not mean application knowledge
Not all qualifications are equal
Some qualifications are based on principles such as chartership
USING A DIFFERENT LENS – AUXILLARY SYSTEMSThink about mitigations
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Scenario 4
Competencies Welding for the purposes of minimisation
Welding requirements considering different metallurgy
Overpressure protection
Fire protection (drainage and isolation)
Working at height minimisation through construction competence

WHERE HAS THIS GOT US?
Our team know that standard application is
important to us
We know Which standards are needed to manage
which scenarios
What the competencies of
our team areWhere our gaps in
knowledge are
WHAT NEXT?
Split standards by department
• Training• Additional resources recruited to the team
• External hire• Embedded in the contractor team from the client
side• Additional assurance• Specialist competency in workshops
Develop action plan for gaps identified:
IN FUTURE STAGES
• This matrix should be kept up to date as the team changes and the project matures
• Used as a tool to manage organisational change
• Used as a tool for documenting effective handover
• Used as a tool to reinforce risk management throughout the lifecyle guiding optimisation efforts
