Data included:
• 1534 Fatal incidents resulting in 1983 fatalities, from 1991 to 2011 (inclusive).
• 1249 High Potential Events from 2000 to 2011 (inclusive).
RULES APPLICABILITY - BREAKDOWN BY RULE
The number of rules that were applicable to OGP reported: • 1534 Fatal incidents resulting in 1983 fatalities, from 1991 to 2011 (inclusive).
• 1249 High Potential Events from 2000 to 2011 (inclusive).
EXAMPLE OF RULE APPLICABILITY – CONFINED SPACE ENTRY
• 27 fatalities which were the result of 16 fatal incidents. • 9 fatal incidents killed 18 people either due to asphyxiation by
hazardous gases or a lack of oxygen. • 3 due to explosion/burn caused by flammable material/explosive
atmosphere.
RESULTS – THE RULES
• Supplement and support existing company systems and programs.
• Authority to stop work.
• Focus on modifying worker and supervisor behaviors in the workplace.
• Raise awareness of activities which are most likely to result in fatalities.
• Simple actions individuals can take to protect themselves and others.
GUIDANCE ON IMPLEMENTATION
• Commitment of senior management. • Ensure that safety systems and controls are in place to ensure that the
rules can actually be followed. • Decide on whether or not to apply disciplinary action for non-
compliance and define consequences.
• Determine organisational risks to select rules. • 8 core rules plus applicable supplemental rules.
• Develop a business case/ change management program. • Develop a communication plan and roll-out strategy.
• Customise generic materials.
• Develop performance monitoring metrics: • % of training conducted. • Monitor rule breaking. • Review of lagging indicator metrics.
• Monitor performance and report to management with improvement opportunities.
IMPLEMENTATION RESOURCES
• Guidance to clarify the rules.
• Leadership core pack.
• Contractor leadership engagement packs.
• Speaker support pack.
• Induction slide pack (with accompanying speaker support pack).
• Toolbox talk series and Toolbox flip-over instructions.
• Work Cards.
• Supporting data on the applicability of the rules.
CONCLUSIONS
• Value in providing clear, simple and consistent communication regarding significant risks in the workplace.
• Large potential benefit in standardising rules across the industry.
• Use as part of a safety management system to supplement and support existing company management systems, programs and policies.
• Worker compliance alone is not enough.
• Well designed and effectively implemented workplace control measures may provide the last barrier in preventing fatalities.

PROPOSAL TO OVERHAUL THE HSE HYDROCARBON RELEASE DATABASE & ASSOCIATED FORMS
Gary Begg Hydrocarbon Release Prevention Workgroup
Background
• The current HCR database maintained by the HSE was put in place over 20 years ago
• There has been a Step Change improvement project ongoing using a secondee from Nexen
• Working with the HSE to analyse the structure of the HCR database and associated OIR 12 form
• Assessment of elements missing e.g. cause data & trending while minimising the questions on the form
• Separate work stream by Energy Institute
48
What do we need?
• Good quality data, including:
– Demonstrable good investigations
– Root cause data
– Human Factors elements
• Consistent data provision by all Operators in the UKCS
• Regular & timely reporting capability
• Ability to identify focus areas of future initiatives and strategic decisions
49
What do we have?
• The database’s data gathering form (OIR12) no longer meets our needs by asking the right causation questions
• The form is onerous and non-mandatory – as a result, not all Operators submit data
• Reports are limited & work intensive to produce; further analysis is difficult
• As an industry, we don’t know if we are focussed on the right things to deliver performance improvements
50
What should we do?
• We need a database to suit the needs of our industry for the next 20+ years
• We need to ensure the right stakeholders are involved (HSE; DECC; O&G UK; EI) and funding is secured to deliver
• The project scope has to suit the needs of all the stakeholders, and the database/forms designed to fulfil those needs
51
What do we need today?
• Agreement that this will be a strategic deliverable for the Asset Integrity Steering Group 2013/14
• The go-ahead to secure support & funding from stakeholders to commence an initial project specification work scope
52
SADIE DATABASE
Gary Begg Hydrocarbon Release Prevention Workgroup
54
• Sponsored by the UK offshore oil and gas industry
• Used to facilitate the sharing of safety information and improve the lateral learning across the industry
• Database can be accessed via the Step Change in Safety website at: www.stepchangeinsafety.net/incidentsdiscussions/index.
SADIE
55
• Nearing the end of the three year period where industry set the target of a 50% reduction in Hydrocarbon releases
• Sustainability of these improvements is critical
• At industry level commitment has been made to share lessons and learn from each other
• Agreed at a recent Step Change leadership team and steering group meeting that we should collect "Lessons Learned", which may sign post root cause information around our 2012/2013 hydrocarbon releases and publish the information through the Step Change in Safety SADIE database
SADIE
56
• Industry graduate (Nick Hearn), currently on secondment to the Step Change team is working with industry and regulators to support improved learning from the hydrocarbon release database and associated projects
• Request for information made to all Duty Holders for further data for inclusion on SADIE in relation to HCR’s from 2012
• Work on going and awaiting returns from identified Duty Holders

MARINE TRANSFER OF PERSONNEL
Colin Gay
Workgroup objectives
Phase 1 • Communicate any
information available to the workforce on these alternative methods of transport
• Gather and share existing good practice from operators in UKCS and comparable regions abroad
• Highlight existing legal and statutory regulations and guidance
Phase 2 • Prepare guidance on
alternative methods of transport
– Go / No Go Flowchart
– Risk Assessments
– Environmental criteria
– Procedures
– Training
– Step through the whole process
– Personnel tracking
61
Progress to Date • Draft guidelines almost completed
• Will be issued to work group (including Offshore Safety) for review by end of Wk 7
• 4 week review period
• On completion of review will be presented to OGUK steering committee for approval to publish.
• Draft document will reside on Project Place site
In Summary
• Off the Shelf guidance on marine transportation under ‘exceptional circumstances’ – this is a foreseeable event
• Guidelines are based on existing guidelines and best practice
• Flow chart guides you to a Go/No Go decision
• Suite of check lists and risk assessments included.
• Regulatory compliance may be an issue for some operators eg cranes must be LOLER compliant.

HELICOPTER SAFETY
Alan Chesterman
Communication Guidance – 14th Jan
• Outcomes – Commitment from all helicopter operators to share
‘incident’ alerts in an open and efficient manner.
• Key Principles – Incidents may be categorised:- minor, significant, major
and communicated based on categorisation – Reporting will start with RTBs, with a view to developing
effective and efficient communication channels to HSSG and beyond.
– Incidents will not be confined to RTBs when heli-operators deem importance of incident requires wider communications.
– Communications should support workforce confidence.
