TIME FOR SAFETY

SO WHY

“TIME FOR SAFETY”

WELL………

TIME FOR SAFETY

IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS…..

• We dropped 3 travelling blocks narrowly missing personnel on the Rig floor……

• We dropped a Kelly & a casing joint where 5 people could have been killed……

• We ignored the danger signs resulting in a floorman falling 9 meters, he is lucky to be alive…..

• We bled off high pressure using the wrong procedures nearly killing 3 people…..

TIME FOR SAFETY

What is worrying this year?

Compared to previous years the number of HiPo’s has increased.

We have already had 24 HiPo’s in the first five months of operation

The severity of the HiPo’s has increased, a number of incidents could have resulted in multiple fatalities

The HiPo’s show an

increasing trend.

TIME FOR SAFETY

What is an HiPo?

• An unplanned HSE event (incident or near miss) which has the potential severity to cause permanent disablement or death.

• It means we were lucky not to kill or permanently harm anyone!

TIME FOR SAFETY

Lets look at some of the HiPo’s we had

Incident & CausesWhilst lowering the mast, when it was at approximately 35 degrees, the substructure suddenly moved upward causing the mast to fall onto the carrier support causing damage to the mast and substructure.

Cause:1.Not Following Procedures2.Inadequate Hazard Identification

Afetr the CTU had stimulated the well with Acid and Nitrogen, the Wire line operation was in progress to open the SSD.While attempting to bleed off well bore pressure through choke manifold, the bleed off line slid out of anchors and moved backwards in an uncontrolled manner resulting into hurting three persons.

Cause:

1.Inadequate Procedure2.Inadequate supervision

TIME FOR SAFETY

Lets look at some of the HiPo’s

Incident & CausesWhile running in the 74th stand , AD disengaged the hydromatic brake. The Draw work’s brake failed

to control the travelling block, which descended from a height of approx 2m coming to rest on the hoist work floor 2 Floormen escaped down the main stairs without injury

Cause:

1.Failure to report Unsafe condition2.Failure to follow Procedures

While POOH 3rd joint of milling assembly with power swivel on the driller lost control on brake, both block and swivel started to come down. Driller attempted to control the descent with the brake with no success. Rig Manager observed this & shouted to the persons to escape from floor, Power swivel landed inside the Hydrill and the T/Block landed on the floor .

Cause:

1.Inadequate Risk Assessment2.Inadequate Competency

TIME FOR SAFETY

Incident & CausesWhile slipping drill line, due to abrupt movement of the drill line one of the rig floor cover plate lifted and dropped down 9.3 m into the sub-base along with a Floorman who was standing on the backend of the floor plate.IP sustained multiple injuries and X-Ray revealed fracture of both lower jaws.

Cause

Inadequate risk assesmentInadequate SupervisionInadequate ProceduresFailure In management of change

While picking a joint of 9-5/8” casing, the Travelling Block swung and hit the Swivel of the Kelly which was secured in the Mast. This caused the Mounting Pin of the Kelly Racking Arm to shear. The pin weighing 12 kg fell to the ground beyond the Dog. The impact caused the Kelly to come off its stand and it descended through the opening of the mud bucket hole and landed on the drain edge of the Cellar. The Racking Arm Assembly (800 kg) fell on the Rig Floor towards the V Door .The Elevator sling parted and the casing joint fell back through the V Door to rest on the ground ( pin end resting on the ground ). The elevator (15 kg) fell between the Rotary and the Drillers’ ConsoleAt the time of the incident 5 crew members were working on the drill floor, the six crew member, the Derrick Man was stationed at the stabbing board. He sustained a bruise to his right knee.(FAC)

Are you comfortable in such a workplace?

TIME FOR SAFETY

Incident after incident

• We continue to see HiPo’s

– They seem to be so unexpected…

– Barriers… multiple barriers… are defeated …

– Systems… multiple systems… are defeated …

• What can we do..?

TIME FOR SAFETY

What are the common causes of these incidents?

• Inadequate Risk Assessment• Inadequate Supervision of the job• Not reporting Unsafe Conditions• Failure to follow Procedures• Poor Management of Change

TIME FOR SAFETY

How can you overcome this?

Inadequate supervision

Supervisors must ensure that the crew members identify the hazards of the job and the implement precautions to be taken..

Supervisors should supervise the job and should not carry out the task themselves.

Supervisors must also follow procedures

Do you TAKE TIME to Supervise Safely……….

TIME FOR SAFETY

• Inadequate risk assessmentEnsure job specific procedures and JSA’s are used

where and when available.Involve the crew in assessing the risks of their area. Ensure TRIC cards are correctly completed and

address all the relevant risks involved.

Ensure TRIC is used as it is supposed to be used and not a paper exercise

Do you TAKE TIME to do your Risk Assessment……….

TIME FOR SAFETY

• Not reporting unsafe condition/acts prevailing in the area of work

Some of the HiPos could have been prevented had the crew decided to report and take action against the unsafe conditions prevailing in their work place.

All are empowered to STOP the job if the conditions are unsafe!

Do you TAKE TIME to STOP and correct Unsafe Conditions….

TIME FOR SAFETY

• Failure to follow Procedures

Procedures should be made available and followed at you worksite.

Procedure must be followed to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Not following procedures simply means your are taking a shortcut.

Do you TAKE TIME to follow the Procedures…

TIME FOR SAFETY

• Poor Management of ChangeDo you STOP the job when there is deviation from

the original plan/procedure?Do you reassess the risks when there is a change in

the job conditions?

Do you TAKE TIME to STOP when the situation changes…..

TIME FOR SAFETY

Incident after incident

• In many of the HiPo’s…

• Both Supervisor or Crew members had the chance to Stop The Job…

• BUT DIDN’T..!

Will YOU take TIME for SAFETY?

TIME FOR SAFETY

Safety Day Competition

• Best Safety Day TRIC card

• Best Safety Day Hazard Hunt.

for each of the 3 categories: Rigs, Hoists and Others

TIME FOR SAFETY

Hazard Hunt

Conduct a Hazard Hunt in Teams on one of the following categories mentioned below on your location and submit the same to your SWE

When looking for hazards think about the following sources of energy:• Gravity: what can fall• Pressure: what can burst or come free• Electrical: What is exposed, can cause a shock• Motion: what can swing or suddenly move• Biological: Food and water poinsinig• Radiation: Logging sources, NORM• Heat: burns, fire• Chemical: As dust or fluids

TIME FOR SAFETY

Commitment

Plan to launch ”Tell a Friend” Campaign on Road Safety across Oman in October.All stakeholders invited to join in e.g. insurance companies, road safety NGO etc.

What is “Tell a Friend” ?A campaign to raise awareness and knowledge through spreading “word-of-mouth” among colleagues, friends and relatives

Why Road Safety? Is a high risk and painful area : See following viewgraphs on statistics, causes of incidents and impact
