CORPORATE RISK INFORMATION SHEET – WORKSITE HAZARDS

  1. RISK SUMMARY

Risk Title: / Worksite Hazards
Risk Definition: / Inadequate identification, assessment and control of worksite hazards will result in increasing worksite incidents (personal safety).
Objective: / To provide a safe place of work and achieve Goal Zero at the workplace. / Risk Owner: / UWD (MSEM)
Risk Category: / Operational / Risk Focal Point: / UWZ &MSE13
Principal Interfaces: / Well Engineering& MSEM
  1. RISK DESCRIPTION
  2. Context

“Hazard is the potential to cause harm, ill health or injury, damage to property, plant, products or the environment, production losses or increased liabilities”. This definition can be extended to include social/cultural disruption. It is a condition, act, and/or practice with the potential for accidental loss. Hazard classificationis a system to code substandard practices or conditions by the potential severity of the loss, should an accident or loss occur.

Some hazards at the worksite:

  1. The obvious hazard is apparent to senses (e.g. unguarded machinery, building defects and/ or faulty electrical equipment).
  2. The concealed hazard is not apparent to senses (e.g. electricity, presence of toxic vapors and/ or high frequency noise).
  3. The developing hazard cannot be recognized immediately and will develop over time (e.g. a worn tire on a mobile crane or frayed steel cables).
  4. The transient hazard is an intermittent or a temporary hazard (e.g. overload of machinery when a confined space permit has expired, a sticking safety valve on a boiler and intermittent electrical and/ or mechanical defect).

Some HSE tools which are used in managing hazards as follows: Hazards and Effects register is a quality record that demonstrates that all hazards and effects have been identified, are understood, and are being properly controlled. This Register is kept current throughout the life cycle of a project or activity, i.e., from the planning and design stage, through operation, to decommissioning, abandonment, and disposal. The HAZID or the Hazard Identification process is a structured technique used to identify hazards. While HAZOP, the Hazard Operability is an application of a formal systematic detailed examination of the process and engineering intention of new or existing facilities to assess the hazard potential of operation outside the design intention or malfunction of individual items of equipment and their consequential effects on the facility as a whole.

2.2.Condition

The increasing number of incidents at the worksite is attributed to the following:

  • Expanding fleet in Well Engineering (including in-sourcing hoists), hence, increased exposure man-hours worked at the worksite.
  • Worksite operations are labour intensive and engage a large number of “green” helmets workforce who are not adequately and effectively trained.
  • Ineffective or absence of supervision at the worksite where failure to identify the hazards, assessment of risk, communicatemitigating controls and intervene when work is deemed unsafe.
  • The high turnover of staff has compromised the ability of contractors to maintain the competencies required to run safe operations, at both worker and supervisory levels.

2.3.Consequences

A number of personal safety incidents were reported and investigated where learnings were captured and cascaded. Some of the actual consequences transpired in the last quarter are as follows:

  • Medical Treatment Cases
  • Restricted Workday Cases
  • First Aid Cases
  • Property Damage

3.2.Narrative Assessment

Although PDO had 2 fatalities on road safety in Q2, our LTIF performance (0.18) madea significant improvement compared with Q2 in 2015 (0.31). PDO suffered 10 LTIs which was 8 less than in Q2 2015 and with more exposure man-hours worked at the worksite.

OSD and CPD both had 2 LTIs in Q2, an increase compared with Q2 2015, where as OND, GD, UID and XD directorates had a successful quarter. Well Engineering Directorate improvedsignificantly in reducing their LTIs by 54% (6 in Q2 2016 vs. 13 in Q2 2015). This shows that all efforts put into the HSE Theme Champions programme; Hearts and Minds engagement; Safety Leadership for Frontline Supervisors was slowly bearing good HSE performance results. There is a reduction of hands and fingers, and drops incidents compared with 2015 in the rigs and hoist units. However, an increase in the number of incidents relating to “fall from Height” especially in UWD. With this, Corporate HSE published a newsletter entitled “Working at Height” in August.

PDO suffered 40 TRCs which was 11 less than in Q2 2015and with more exposure man-hours worked at the worksite. Although, the Medical Treatment Case has increased by 33%, the Restricted Workday Case has improved significantly by 83% (2 in Q2 2016 vs. 12 in Q2 2015).

The near miss reports continue to rise and sustaining the base of the safety pyramid spread out to capture learnings and prevent the worst top event from happening. It also shows that we are promoting trust and accountability to people by ensuring that nearmiss reports are closed. Since the launch of PDO New near miss reporting tool in December 2015, the reports have grown significantly and lessons learnt are captured. In Q2 2016, a total of 325 near misses were reported and actions closed. A great improvement compared with Q2 2015 (only 76 near miss reports). Oil South Directorate had the most number of nearmiss reported and followed by Well Engineering Directorate.

The consequence management letter addressed to the Contractors and Contract Holder which states the contractual obligations and consequence management of not reporting incidents have helped the organization to create a transparent and responsible incident reporting culture. All LSR violations are reported in PIM. In Q2 2016, there was anincreased in Life saving rules violation reports particularly in UWD (19 in Q2 2016 vs 13 in Q2 2015) followed by GD (9 in Q2 2016 vs. 0 in Q2 2015). The two highest numbers of violations were from ‘Using mobile phones or exceeding speed limit while driving’ and ‘Working without valid PTW’. In Q2 2016, PDO STOP reports (6,874) have declined compared with Q2 2015 (11,512).

3.3.Reasons for Change

The risk assessment profile has changed from “Deteriorating – Needs Major Improvement” in Q1 2016 to “Stable – Needs Improvement “profile for Q2 2016. Reasons as follows:

  • Although PDO suffered 2 road safety-related fatalities; the LTI, TRC and near miss reports related to worksite hazards have improved, however, MTC is still an area which needs focused in the coming quarter.
  • Well Engineering LTIs have improved by 54%, where hands and fingers incidents dropped from 7 LTI in Q2 2015 to 2 LTI in Q2 2016.
  • Well Engineering TRCs have improved by 43%, where hands and fingers incidents have dropped from 15 TRC in Q2 2015 to 12 TRC in Q2 2016.
  • The Near miss reports in PDO have improved by 328% compared with Q2 2015. The user friendly and accessibilityof the New Nearmiss Reporting Tool has created a motivating way of reporting nearmisses amongst staff and contractors.
  • About 70% of PDO incidents were attributed from Well Engineering. Support from MSE1 team has been extended to Well Engineering. Part of this support is the launch of the Safety Leadership for Frontline Supervisors program in UWD and its contractors. The HSE Theme Champions programme for 2016 was also launched focusing on DROPS, Hands and Fingers, Road Safety and Wells Process Safety.
