    1. HSE CASE; INTRODUCTION & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    1.1 Introduction

    1.1.1 Purpose of the HSE Case

    1.1.1.1 The ARCTIC I HSE Case provides the means for formally demonstrating how Transocean applies a systematic risk management approach to maintain and improve Health, Safety and Environmental operational performance.

    1.1.1.2 The HSE Case will fulfil two primary functions;

    Provide clear evidence of the systematic process of assurance within the Transocean organisation, that the systematic management system processes for reducing risk, are in place and effective, and meet the companys expectations.

    Provide clear evidence to relevant third parties; Clients, necessary Regulatory bodies, Coastal States organisations, of the formal management system processes for reducing risk as applicable to the ARCTIC I operation

    1.1.1.3 The HSE Case is documented as demonstrating the ARCTIC I and Transocean Compamy Management System status at a moment in time. However the Case demonstrates a dynamic process of continuous assurance that the HSE risks are effectively managed and provides assurance that risks associated with changes to equipment, activities or locations, as well as system weaknesses identified by incident analyses and audits will be effectively managed.

    1.1.2 Document Update

    1.1.2.1 The text within this section of the case has been updated in the light of the change of ownership of the ARCTIC I and the integration of the unit into the Transocean Management system. In some areas it is necessary to describe the original systems in place and where appropriate reference regarding sections of the Corporate Management system is reference in terms of the current system as applied.

    1.2 The Transocean HSE Case for ARCTIC I

    1.2.1 HSE Case Overview

    1.2.1.1 The ARCTIC I HSE Case as now amended identifies that since the ownership of the unit was transferred to Transocean in 2007 the level of risk management as identified within Rev 1 of the Case issued under the previous GlobaSantaFe ownership, continues to sustain a high level of risk management and control and this amended Case continues to demonstrate that the level of risk associated with the safe operation of the mobile offshore drilling unit is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). As a consequence the Case will also demonstrate compliance with the Transocean HSE management system which integrates the IMO International Safety Management System and the Shell Operating criteria for the operation in the Brazil locations.

    1.2.1.2 The documentation will reflect the inclusion of the ARCTIC I workforce and external specialist throughout the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment processes which were then developed onwards for 4 detailed SOOB/Bow Tie review for the conditions that were identified as being of a sufficient potential as requiring further analysis and investigation.

    1.2.1.3 The Transocean health, safety and environmental management system recognizes the importance of loss control and risk management in achieving commercial success. To remain competitive there is a need to achieve continuous improvements in our ability to manage the risks associated with our business. It is the cornerstone of this management system that continuous improvements in risk management are derived from a motivated workforce, committed, from senior management level downward, to accepting responsibility for their own safety, that of their colleagues working alongside them and protection of the environment.

    1.2.1.4 The Case and its contents are approved by the Managing Director and is considered an integral part of the ARCTIC I.

    1.2.1.5 This Case remains valid for the ARCTIC I in a stand alone operating condition, in the event that the operation is extend to cover any Combined operations with other units, the case will be re-visited and the necessary management systems reviews and risks assessments made to ensure that the hazards presented by this new operation are suitable covered with full communication to both Management and Work force.

    1.2.1.6 The Case outlines the safe operating envelope of the MODU and as such forms part of our management system documentation and may be revised in accordance with good industry practices and applicable legislation.

    1.3 Management Demonstration

    1.3.1 Senior Management Commitment

    1.3.1.1 Management commitment is demonstrated at the highest level through the formulation, review and updating of Health and Safety, and Environmental Policy Statements and the involvement of the Transocean Corporate Management Team. The objectives of these policies are achieved through the development of related management strategies by the Brazil Management Team

    participating through the provision of personal leadership, based on the drive for continuous improvement.

    1.3.1.2 By virtue of the integration of the International Management system (for Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention) within their own CMS the Company demonstrate a commitment to compliance to this system through external audit by IMO approved bodies, in this case ABS. Hence the Transocean CMS stem is subject to the highest level of external audit and command a level of visibility that assures the highest level of commitment.

    1.3.2 HSE Case Responsibilities

    1.3.2.1 This Case and its contents are approved by Transocean Managing Director.

    1.3.2.2 The ARCTIC I Rig Manager/Performance is the owner of the case and is responsible for reviewing and accepting that ownership. As the Custodian, the Onshore QHSE Manager and, in conjunction with the Rig Manager/Performance, is responsible for ensuring that the Case is implemented and complied with.

    1.3.3 HSE Case Reviews & Updates

    1.3.3.1 The ARCTIC I HSE case is a live document that reflects the ongoing operation of the unit the associated risk and the management of the risk mitigation process to provide a safe place of work at all times.

    1.3.3.2 The case is deemed relevant at time of issue, however it is only normal that system and operational changes will occur that will effect the day to day risks and the management of those risks to one degree or another, hence review on the case will at the first instance depend on an assessment of the relevance of the existing documentation being made by the relevant personnel onboard ARCTIC I.

    1.3.3.3 Development, maintenance and review of the Case in accordance with regulatory requirements, changes in corporate policies, or corporate standards is carried out by the Transocean QHSE Director who will determine whether a revision to the Case is required. The decision process to update the Case is primarily based on whether the proposed change affects, materially, the risk to individuals working offshore.

    1.3.3.4 In accordance with the Company Management system the HSE Case for the ARCTIC I will be subject to periodic review in accordance with the Management of change process utilizing the START and THINK processes.

    1.3.4 Continuous Improvement

    1.3.4.1 Continuous review is an objective of the Transocean management system. The HS Manual reflects the broad band of these objectives which are devised to ensure that Transocean strives to continuously improve the safety performance of all aspects of operations through the observation identification and reduction of at risk behaviours and the elimination of incidents.

    1.3.4.2 Within the Transocean units this policy is supplemented at the work place by the FOCUS process [HQS HSE PP 01 Sec 4 6.2] which provides the facility of formal recording either as a result of non conformity situation or as a result of a pro-active observation through the Focus system.

    active Hazard Identification and Risk reduction measures it employs are demonstrated within this Case as supporting the continued safe operation of the unit.

    1.6.1.2 These systems in place are fully supported by Transocean management through their objectives for the continual enhancement of safe systems of work and the strategy of continual improvement through the management of change process.

    1.6.2 Management Systems

    1.6.2.1 The Company Management System provides managers and supervisors at all levels (corporate and installation) with expectations represented by principles, policies and procedures, which are intended to motivate people to execute work safely and effectively to achieve results. Managers and supervisors are responsible to ensure their people understand their responsibilities as described in the Company Management System.

    1.6.2.2 The Company Management System establishes consistent standards across the companys worldwide operations and is the mechanism for promoting and sharing lessons learned and continuous improvement within the organization. The purpose of the Companys Management System is to provide the platform for people to create value and prevent loss, achieved by meeting expectations through applying appropriate controls (principles, policies and procedures) embodied within the management system.

    1.6.2.3 The Company Management System communicates to employees the values and Company leadership expectations required to conduct business that lead to extraordinary service and performance excellence

    1.6.2.4 These processes are fully documented and accredited through audit by internationally accredited bodies. These Management systems provide the elements that drive the daily management regime of the organisation. The ARCTIC I is full included within this Management system and through the inclusive verification process by the external bodies, its active compliance to the established standards will be confirmed.

    1.6.3 Process for Hazard Identification

    1.6.3.1 This HSE Case indicates the formal philosophy adopted for the process of Hazard identification. To ensure the process was location and vessel specific the formal process was undertaken through a set of formal objective discussions involving both ARCTIC I personnel, supporting Management and representatives from the client. This ensured full coverage of the work scopes to be undertaken and the Hazards attributable, in terms of the specific requirements of the ARCTIC I, and personnel involved.

    1.6.4 Management of Risk and ALARP

    1.6.4.1 The formal process of Hazard identification provided the initial stage in the Management of risk. The Hazard Registry was developed using the SIEP established format but extended where thought relevant to cover the specifics of the operations under evaluation.

    1.6.4.2 The process of risk evaluation for each hazard within the context of each scenario was considered and evaluated using a standard Risk Matrix format. The Matrix based upon the IADC template but modified in line with SIEP and the owners criteria. Throughout this evaluation process the Matrix was used to define the severity of the consequence in relation to;

    People Asset Environment Reputation

    1.6.4.3 The frequency of the event was considered under the realistic pragmatic approach of the recorded historical frequency of similar events. The basis of Consequence and severity was considered for all hazards and the rating indicated on the hazard registry sheet.

    1.6.4.4 The process of determining risk in terms of status with regard to ALARP (A risk deemed to be as low as reasonably practical) required the identification of all necessary controls or Boundaries and the allocation and evaluation of the effectiveness of those controls.

    1.6.4.5 The analysis identified four specific cases in need of further analysis and this was undertaken again through the convening of a formal working party. The format for the analysis being the Bow Tie principle.

    1.6.4.6 These final extensive studies evaluated the integrity and consistency of the identified barriers evaluating the effectiveness against a declared standard for;

    In place and being used Reliability Human factors

    1.6.4.7 The final decision on meeting the ALARP standard being a declared rating of above a zero position indication.

    1.6.4.8 The four hazardous criteria analysed were found to meet a standard indicating that;

    Hardware and Supervision are in place and effective for greater than 75% of the time AND

    Reliability was adjudged as in operation and effective for greater than 95% of the time AND

    Clearly defined task, defined operating procedures, operator is trained and experienced, or errors conceivable but very unlikely.

    1.6.4.9 On the basis of the formal studies that were undertaken using identifiable and established industry guidelines and procedures it was established that for the period of the operation in the Brazil Offshore sector operational risk had been adjudged as meeting the ALARP principle in all states for the vessel in its current operating configuration for the given location and client requirements

    1.6.5 HSE Compliance

    1.6.5.1 Transocean integrate the ISM management system to their core HSE Management system. The ISM system requires periodic verification of compliance by external bodies, hence compliance to the overall objectives of the management system will be assured through the mandatory internal and external audit processes.

    1.6.5.2 Within this compliance evaluation process any areas of non compliance will be subjected to the FOCUS system and documented for processing and attention within that system.

    1.6.6 Commitment to close CARs

    1.6.6.1 Any item identified and recorded within FOCUS as requiring a formal action is required to be assigned a suitable close out date.

    1.6.6.2 The FOCUS Improvement Process incorporates a planning and tracking tool (FOCUS tool) located within the Global Management System (GMS) as a means to efficiently manage the steps of formulating the plan, organizing the resources, communicating the plan, undertaking the improvement/corrective opportunities and summarizing the results.[HQS HSE PP 01 Sec 4 6.2 4.1]

    1.6.6.3 The FOCUS procedure enables the Company to identify, establish and document the cause(s) of any known nonconformity or potential nonconformity within the Management System (MS) and to apply the appropriate corrective/preventive action which best addresses the nonconformity and prevents occurrence or reoccurrence.

    1.6.6.4 As the FOCUS system application is based in the Transocean Intranet Global Reporting System data posted on the system regarding ARCTIC I activities will be visible to the onshore and offshore management teams and to the layers of senior management with authority involving the unit. The ARCTIC I Rig Manager, OIM and Supervisors all have a responsibility to review this data and raise any issues at the relevant HSE meetings to ensure a suitable close out of any action items is required.

    1.6.7 Statement of continued Operation

    1.6.7.1 The Case demonstrates that through the application of the Transocean Management system, the expected day to day hazards associated with operations for SIEP at the location offshore Brazil, as analysed and assessed through a formal documented process, are found to be within a suitable level of acceptance, to enable operations to continue.

    1.6.7.2 The Case demonstrates that ARCTIC I is compliant to all mandatory Class, Flag state and Coastal State legislation, and that the application of the Transocean Management system will continue the rig within that level of compliance to maintain its maritime occupation.

    1.6.7.3 The application of the Company Management system ensures the vessel operational regime adopts the highest level of Industry practices, as supported by the clear mission statement of Transocean.

    1.6.7.4 Transocean have established objectives which are endorsed at the highest level. The Management system is established in a framework that clearly supports the pursuit of these objectives which in turn will provide the fundamental basis for continuing the enhancement of safety at work through the reduction of risk. In the adherence to the company Management System ARCTIC I subscribes and pursues these objectives.

    2. ARCTIC 1 HEALTH SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

    2.1 Introduction

    2.1.1 Purpose

    2.1.1.1 Part 2 of the ARCTIC I HSE case will describe the Transocean Company Management system and present the management objectives that have been established to reduce the level of HSE risk to a suitable acceptable level.

    2.1.1.2 The Company Management System provides managers and supervisors at all levels (corporate and installation) with expectations represented by principles, policies and procedures, which are intended to motivate people to execute work safely and effectively to achieve results. Managers and supervisors are responsible to ensure their people understand their responsibilities as described in the Company Management System.

    2.1.1.3 The Company Management System establishes consistent standards across the companys worldwide operations and is the mechanism for promoting and sharing lessons learned and continuous improvement within the organization. The purpose of the Companys Management System is to provide the platform for people to create value and prevent loss, achieved by meeting expectations through applying appropriate controls (principles, policies and procedures) embodied within the management system.

    2.1.1.4 The Company Management System communicates to employees the values and Company leadership expectations required to conduct business that lead to extraordinary service and performance excellence.

    2.1.1.5 The implementation of the Companys principles, policies and procedures is essential to the Companys ability to manage operations safely, efficiently and effectively. It enables our people to:

    Understand and meet Company expectations.

    Achieve operational, safety and environmental goals.

    Achieve performance excellence.

    Provide value-added services and benefits to all stakeholders.

    Meet or exceed customer requirements.

    Meet regulatory requirements

    2.1.1.6 Through the application of the company principles, policies and procedures onboard the ARCTIC I, risks will be reduced to an acceptable level, and effective HSE management will be proven.

    2.1.2 Document Update

    2.1.2.1 The text within this section of the case has been updated in the light of the change of ownership of the ARTCTIC I and the integration of the unit into the Transocean Management system. In some areas it is necessary to describe the original systems in place and where appropriate reference regarding sections of the Company Management system is reference in terms of the current system as applied.

    2.1.3 Third Parties

    2.1.3.1 The Company periodically engages third parties on its behalf to perform services in support of

  • ARCTIC I HSE CASE PART 2

    Health, Safety and Environmental Management System.

    5

    Blade Offshore Services 2009

    its global activities. Throughout the corporate management system such personnel as these agents or subcontractors are considered totally within the definition of the term All Personnel .

    2.1.3.2 It is incumbent upon all personnel to comply with the written requirement of the Company management system and participate in the wide scope of activities to ensure to achieve corporate HSE success. The Management system identifies the required contribution required of all third parties to align with Managements aspirations for the safe operation of the ARCTIC 1. In a clear and concise manner.

Unit goals and objectives are developed to support, and are aligned with, corporate departmental goals and objectives.

    2.2.5.2 Goals are expectations against which results are measured. Goals should be developed to be measurable (quantitative) if possible. Objectives are performance measures that are used to determine the degree to which a goal has been achieved. Not all performance measures can be clearly quantified, due to the nature of a changing business environment. In exceptional cases they may be qualitative (subjective).

    2.2.5.3 Goals and objectives are developed within 4 main areas of responsibility;

    Corporate Goals and Objectives Corporate Department Goals and Objectives Unit Goals and Objectives Division & Installation Plans

    2.2.6 Corporate Goals and Objectives

    2.2.6.1 Executive Management sets corporate goals and objectives annually based on short and long-term strategies designed to achieve the mission and vision.

The goals and objectives are aligned with the annual budget and approved by the Board of Directors.

    2.2.7 Corporate Department Goals and Objectives

    2.2.7.1 Corporate departmental goals and objectives support Corporate goals and must be specific and measurable. These goals and objectives are interdependent with the Unit goals and objectives and represent aligned performance standards and measures.

    2.2.7.2 Each Corporate department develops its own goals and objectives to enable it to contribute to achieving the corporate goals. In some cases, it may be necessary for a corporate department to translate or extrapolate a corporate goal in order to achieve some clear and measurable objective.

    2.2.8 Unit Goals and Objectives

    2.2.8.1 Unit goals and objectives support and will be aligned with corporate goals. In some cases, Units may develop Unit-specific goals to meet regional business conditions. Because of the diversity of the business environment, measurement and evaluation of the Key Step Measures (KSMs) is critical. (See Figure 2.3.1.)

    2.2.9 Division & Installation Plans

    2.2.9.1 Divisions and installations develop plans to achieve unit goals and objectives. In some cases, divisions may develop Division-specific goals to meet local business conditions. Division and Installations are instrumental in planning and achieving Unit goals and objectives.

    18

    Blade Offshore Services 2009

    2.3.4.7 Follow-up and Close-out is the final step in the PMAA process. Follow-up ensures the Locations performance is optimized by carrying out the Improvement and Corrective Actions to completion. Close-out is a management responsibility which is carried out after verifying follow up has been satisfactorily completed.

    2.3.4.8 Within the PMAA process all levels of management are allocated responsibilities within the PMAA process from decisions with regard to audits frequency to recording the audit follow up and ensuring items are closed out. [HQS-CMS-PR-02. Sec 1 9]

    2.3.5 Document Management

    2.3.5.1 The Corporate Management System is shown in the figure below. This document management hierarchy describes the relationship between the Company Management System (GOV) manual and the corporate department management system and support documents.[HQS CMS GOV Sec 5 2]

    2.3.5.2 Management system documents are organized in a hierarchy from Corporate to Installation. The organization provides a method for locating and retrieving documents in ways specific to how information is required to carry out work, either by function (discipline) or by category (type).

  • ARCTIC I HSE CASE PART 2

    Health, Safety and Environmental Management System.

    19

    Blade Offshore Services 2009

    2.3.5.3 The management system document structure is divided into three levels as follows:

    Level 1 Corporate Governance. Level 1 documents define executive management expectations and requirements. Level 1 is subdivided into 2 levels:

    Level 1A Corporate Department Policies and Procedures. Corporate department policies and procedures define explicitly the expectations and requirements for each core management function (discipline) within the organization.

    Level 1B Corporate Department support documentation. These documents provide additional direction and/or guidance in achieving the requirements specified in the Level 1A manuals.

    (Together, these Level 1 documents represent governance, i.e. expectations and requirements that apply worldwide)

    Level 2 Unit Manuals are Unit-specific documents deemed by the Unit Senior Vice President necessary to address local specific business process requirements, local regulatory authorities and/or local client requirements not already covered in Corporate Levels 1A and 1B. They follow the Management System Document Classification System and must not conflict nor contradict Level 1A and 1B corporate requirements.

    Level 3 Rig procedures are Rig-specific documents which describe the steps, activities, tasks, and work processes required to safely, responsibly, consistently and reliably execute work to meet Corporate, Unit, client, operational and regulatory requirements.

    2.3.5.4 The responsibility for the issuing and control of documents is as follows;

    CORPORATE DEPARTMENT VICE PRESIDENT Determines the need to develop any new documents to support

    the corporate department management system. Reviews and approves changes to department management

    system documents. UNIT SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

    Determines the need to develop any new documents to support the Unit management system.

    Reviews and approves changes to Unit management system documents.

    CORPORATE DEPARTMENT HEAD Ensures documents to support corporate department management

    system manuals as specified by the Corporate Vice President are developed.

    Notifies the corporate Quality department of any proposed and/or final changes to the corporate department management system documents.

    Ensures department management system manuals are developed and controlled as prescribed in this policy

    CORPORATE DIRECTOR, QHSE Ensures that Corporate and Unit management system documents

    meet the defined document control requirements.

    control requirements. OFFSHORE INSTALLATION MANAGER (OIM)

    Submits Level 3 documents to Rig Manager for approval. Develops Level 3 documents according to defined document

    control requirements

    2.3.5.5 Change to the Company Management System is formally captured, reviewed, communicated and executed through the System Management and Review Team (SMART) process.

    2.3.5.6 The SMART process [HQS CMS GOV Sec 5.1] enables people at different levels in the Company (corporate, unit, division and installation) to propose and implement change to the Company Management System categorized by the core management functions; shown below;

    Health, Safety & Environment Engineering & Technical Services (Operations) Operations Performance (Operations) Supply Chain Management (Operations) Human Resources Finance Information Technology Legal Services Investor Relations & Communications Marketing & Planning

    2.3.5.7 Corporate and Unit management use the SMART process to make changes to the Company Management System through their existing organizations and resources. SMART is also the means to communicate and implement change to the management system (represented in manuals and other documents) to corporate, unit and field personnel.

    2.3.5.8 The SMART process is initiated by a SMART request. SMART requests require an action from the receiving organization. The action may involve review, feedback communication and/or execution of change to the management system. SMART requests are initiated at the Corporate or Unit level.

    2.3.5.9 Unit SMART requests originate from the Unit and requires action (change or clarification request regarding the corporate/unit management system) from either unit or corporate.

    2.3.5.10 Feedback is the means by which improvement to the Company Management System is captured. Feedback related to the Company Management System is SMART feedback. The most common source of SMART feedback is through corporate or Unit SMART Reviews. An alternate source of feedback may also be submitted through the FOCUS protocol.

    2.3.5.11 The SMART Monitor is a log that formally captures SMART feedback requiring action. To ensure feedback is properly reviewed, approved and captured in the respective SMART Monitor, all feedback must be forwarded to the Division QHSE Manager. For feedback related to corporate Level 1 documents, the Division QHSE Manager forwards the approved feedback to the corporate Quality Manager.

  • ARCTIC I HSE CASE PART 2

    Health, Safety and Environmental Management System.

    21

    Blade Offshore Services 2009

    2.3.5.12 For feedback related to Level 2 (Unit) documents, the Division QHSE Manager facilitates review and actions taken by Unit Process Owners.

    2.3.5.13 Corporate and Division SMART members are individuals who have the experience and responsibility to develop and maintain the Company management system manuals and support documentation. They also have the authority to make and/or approve changes to processes within their area of responsibility.

    2.3.5.14 Their primary responsibility as SMART members is to ensure that management expectations as described in their management system documentation are clearly defined, understood and communicated. Their secondary responsibility is to respond and act on Corporate and Unit feedback.

    2.3.5.15 Corporate SMART Members are chosen by their respective corporate department Vice Presidents (who also determines the number of members required). Corporate SMART members are usually the corporate department head. As often as possible, SMART members should be the defined Process Owner of a given departments management system.

    2.3.5.16 Unit SMART members are chosen by the Unit Senior Vice President (who also determines how many members are needed). Unit SMART Members are usually Unit department heads. At his discretion, the Unit Senior Vice President may select additional members who directly report to the Division department heads and have a functional reporting relationship to corporate departments, e.g., Division Technical Field Support Manager and Division Materials Manager.

    2.3.5.17 The Corporate QHSE Director and Corporate Vice President establish the Corporate SMART Contact List. The Corporate Quality Manager maintains the Corporate SMART Contact List.
