EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Five years have passed since the 1996 International Workshop on
Human Factors in Offshore Operations. Over this period, we learned
that the level of knowledge of human factors has increased
dramatically. We also made significant advances in applying human
factors disciplines more effectively within an organization. In
order to invest the necessary resources, technical specialists,
engineers and corporate leaders need to be confident that the human
factors tools they choose to implement will meet the desired goals.
To this end, the 2002 International Workshop on Human Factors in
Offshore Operations (HFW2002) brought together six key work groups
to help those who wish to develop more effective human factors
measures to reduce risk, improve safety and production performance.
Each group was successful in developing a set of guidelines, tools
and references that are invaluable to those active in the design of
new facilities, maintaining the integrity of existing facilities,
managing the workforce, conducting incident investigations,
developing, implementing and controlling health, safety and
environmental (HSE) management systems and managing behavioral
processes. The applications and tools discussed by each working
group during the course of the workshop documented practical
approaches for applying human factors techniques in many areas.
These reflect state-of-the-art practices within industry. The
supportive remarks, keynote addresses and theme papers presented by
government leaders, representatives from regulatory and
certification agencies, and management of several international oil
companies clearly demonstrated the importance of applying human
factors. All six (6) working groups enjoyed a balanced number of
representatives from industry, government and institutions who
pro-actively discussed applications related to each topic of
discussion. Exchange of information and points of discussion were
based upon state of the art white papers written by working group
leaders and co-chairs in attendance and submitted to each
participant at the opening of the workshop. From the beginning of
deliberations, each white paper was enhanced by the participants to
capture the true essence of each topic and clearly established a
roadmap for the practical application of human factors in the life
cycle of an offshore facility. The purpose of HFW2002 was to
provide practical applications and economical solutions to
effectively establish and implement human factors as accepted
practice vs. an add-on to existing practice. The workshop was
successful in providing tools, references and guidelines to more
effectively integrate human factors into six key areas targeted by
the workshop to improve safety performance and reduce risk:
Incident Investigation Design of New Systems Design of Existing
Systems Operations / Work Force Management System Practices and
Policies Behavior Processes
It is up to Industry to develop its own specification(s) of
acceptable performance with input from peers,

regulatory agencies, certification bodies, institutes and
specialists to reduce risk and improve safety performance. This
workshop brought together representatives of all of these
organizations from different corners of the world to work together
toward this common goal. The application of integrating human
factors can be overwhelming without going through a long learning
curve and being exposed to expensive time consuming lessons. With
the aid of information developed by the HFW2002 Chairs, Co-Chairs
and many participants, organizations have started to acquire the
fundamental knowledge needed to integrate human factors in the
lifecycle of offshore operations. What is now needed is for these
organizations to start, or those that have already started, to
continue, to apply the knowledge from the Workshop in their
day-to-day design and operations. There is no single war to be won
to improve human factors and safety; it is a never ending battle,
seeking to continuously improve the safety performance. At the
conclusion of the workshop one key point was clear: ignoring human
factors will result in an increase not a decrease in incidents,
lower safety performance and increased costs. Human factors are
paramount to all aspects of offshore operations and essential in
reducing human performancerelated risks.

SCOPE
The scope of HFW2002 included the following:
Establish awareness of what human factors is Identify existing
tools for human factors that can be used or developed to prevent
incidents Integrate principles for human factors into offshore
design by assessing guidance and identifying gaps and barriers
Define the status of the science and technology of human factors in
the management of safety, behavior and environmental hazards for
offshore operations and facilities Provide an international forum,
attracting participants from all aspects of human factor
disciplines (e.g. corporate leadership, offshore facilities
designers, human factors, behavioral science and safety engineers,
practitioners, certification body representatives and regulatory
leaders) Produce a record describing the current practice, science
and technology of human factors engineering & ergonomics,
process safety and behavioral science and the opportunities and
tools for using human factor disciplines in the management of
safety, behavior and environmental hazards for offshore operations
and facilitiesFurther promote the use of human factor disciplines
to personnel and contractors responsible for managing, performing
and verifying work activities in offshore facilities design,
construction, operation, decommissioning, and maintenance

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The format of HFW2002, like the 1996 Workshop, was a carefully
balanced, two and a half (2-1/2) day workshop with presentations on
the state of the art of human factors and interactive working group
sessions. A total of three (3) Supporting Remark presentations, two
(2) Keynote Address presentations and nine (9) Theme Paper
presentations were delivered. The manuscripts of these
presentations are included in this volume. With respect to the
working group sessions, there were six groups established which
covered the following areas related to human factors in offshore
operations: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Incident Investigation Working Group
- Improving Incident Investigation through Inclusion of Human
factors New Facilities Design Working Group - Effectively Including
Human Factors in the Design of New Facilities Existing Facilities
Design Working Group - Application of Human Factors in Reducing
Human Error in Existing Offshore Facilities Work Force Working
Group - Solving Human Factor Issues as Applied to the Work Force
Management Systems Working Group - Effective Integration of Human
Factors into HSE Management Systems Behavior Based Process Working
Group - Effective Application of Behavioral Based Processes in
Offshore Operations
Each working group started with the presentation of the groups
white paper which identified the needs required to practically
apply human factors related to each work group topic. Barriers to
the progress of integrating human factors into operations
as-well-as guidelines and references were also discussed. The
position white papers were given to each participant prior to the
working sessions. During the working group period, the participants
were encouraged to visit more than one session to maximize their
contributions to the practical application of different aspects of
human factors. In addition, supporting papers were submitted to
some working groups focusing on specific topics of concern. The
atmosphere of the workshop was extremely positive and upbeat. All
participants felt that the level of understanding of human factors
technology has undergone significant progress since the 1996
workshop. Each participant received a clearer understanding of the
tools available to formally integrate human factors throughout the
lifecycle of an offshore facility. Participants also learned that
more fundamental human factors programs are needed to resolve
issues unique to offshore operations and to understand and control
human factors related failures. It is up to industry to develop its
own specification(s) of acceptable performance with input from
peers, regulatory agencies, certification bodies, institutes and
specialists to reduce risk and improve safety performance. This
workshop brought together representatives of all of these
organizations from different corners of the world to work together
toward this common goal. The application of integrating human
factors can be overwhelming without going through a long learning
curve and being exposed to expensive time consuming lessons. With
the aid of information developed by the workshop Chairs, Co-Chairs
and many participants, organizations have started to acquire the
fundamental knowledge needed to

integrate human factors in the lifecycle of offshore operations.
What is now needed is for these organizations to start, or those
that have already started, to continue, to apply the knowledge from
the Workshop in their day-to-day design and operations. There is no

performance. At the conclusion of the workshop one key point was
clear: ignoring human factors will result in an increase not a
decrease in incidents, lower safety performance and increased
costs. Human factors are paramount to all aspects of offshore
operations and essential in reducing human performance-related
risks. 5.1 Supporting Remarks

Industry Changes Since 1996
A lot has happened since the first workshop in 1996
We have continued moving into deeper and deeper waters in search
of resources. The industry continues to develop new technology at a
record pace. There has been a great number of mergers in industry,
resulting in fewer, but much larger companies. Small, independent
operators play a major role in the Gulf of Mexico, especially on
the shelf. Opportune to meet and discuss Human Factors

Environmental Protection Ensure that all activities on Federal
Offshore lands are conducted with appropriate environmental
safeguards.
Varied Clientele
Program must be responsive to operators Some companies are small
and operate single well caissons Others are large multinationals
who deal with cutting edge technology
We require the same level of performance Program does recognize
that small operator may not have the same support staff as a major

Coordination and collaboration with other regulators around the
world
Deepwater Operations Plan
DWOP requires 3 Parts conceptual, preliminary & final Early
dialogue - focus on total system MMS approval prior to major
financial commitment List alternative compliance and departures
Avoid unnecessary regulatory rewrites
Guiding Principles for Program
Operator responsibility Understanding human factors &
mechanical systems interface Measure performance Make sure poor
performance carries a price
Accident Investigation
An important responsibility - Industry & MMS Should be
integral part of operators SEMP Both should review data &
conduct investigations Determine root causes Identify trends Share
information to prevent future incidents
Use information to revise requirements and direct research Share
results through safety alerts and workshops Information exchange
with international colleagues
Human Factors Roles In Accidents
Relationship between human factors and management system
failures Negative human interaction with the system Need to find
the deepest underlying cause of the accident
Management System Failures Failure may include the following: -
failure to identify hazardous aspects of an operation - failure to
provide guidelines for the safest way to accomplish a task -
failure to effectively implement the corporate safety program Need
to address these failure modes to prevent future accidents
Riser Package Accident
Control Panel
A Crane Accident
Crane Base
Annual Performance Reviews
Continuing dialogue - MMS & operators Safety - ensure
corporate focus Regulatory practices - feedback for MMS Poor
performance - identify/suggest remedies Correct problems before
they become serious
In Conclusion
MMS continues to seek way to improve its regulatory program
Human Factors aspects of safety management is an integral part of
our program We want companies to keep HSE issues a top priority We
all have much to gain in maintaining good safety and environmental
performance

Reacting to Abnormal Situations The real prize! The most
difficult to obtain! Major accidents are almost always caused by a
series of escalating events. At any point human interaction can
accelerate or decelerate the magnitude of consequences. How do we
design so that the natural reaction is to take action which
midigates the consequences?
Human Factors 80% of all accidents are caused by human error
(Bob Bea) Amato corollary and 80% of these are caused by failure of
management systems Arnold corollary yes, but 80% of all accidents
are also caused by design which does not encourage the correct
human response Examples Three Mile Island ($4B) Ocean Ranger (84
Fatalities) Piper Alpha (167 Fatalities)
Three Mile Island (1979) Popular conception - Operator training
What happened Steam System Went Down PV Valve on Pressurizer tank
opened As Pressure Decreased Control Room Light Went Out Indicating
Signal to Open PV Valve No Longer Existed Pressure Relief Valve
Stuck Open, Staff thought it had closed Pressure Decreased Further
in Pressurizer Tank. Water Level Rose To keep from packing the
pressurizer tank leading to an immediate overpressure. Operators
dumped water. 110 alarm lights flashing Fixed on lowering water
level in pressurizer tank
Three Mile Island (1979) - Continued Given low pressure in
pressurizer tank but high level, multiple alarm sirens and no
direct indication of leak, operators fixed on controlling level.
Ignored other indicators of loss of water in cooling system:
temperature rise in containment building, vibration of circulating
pumps (cavitation) Design problems No water level indicator in
reactor Temperature of PV drain limited by computer to 280F max
output even though actually 600F No direct readout that PV was
actually closed Too many alarms
Ocean Ranger (1982) Popular Conception - Operator Training What
happened Storm wave breaks port light window shorting ballast
control panel Sea valves started opening and closing randomly
Shut-Off Power - Valves close Decided to turn on power to deballast
to higher level Started settling by bow Screwed in brass by-pass
rods to cause valves to close By-pass rods actually caused valves
to fail open Could not launch survival craft in storm with list
Ocean Ranger (1982) - Continued Design problems Easy to short
out panel in ballast control room No way to isolate panel and still
activate pumps or check status Brass by-pass rods opened sea valves
No way to launch survival craft with rig tilted down by the bow
Piper Alpha (1988) Popular Conception - Failure of Permit to
Work System, Operator Training What happened Day crew isolated pump
for maintenance Day crew removed PSV on condensate pump for annual
safety check Did not properly install gasket, blind flange and
bolts Night crew unaware and put pump in service
Design Problem Decoupled PSV from Pump It Protected Gas Heard
Escaping In Compressor Room But Source Unknown
Why Did Paragon Form HFE Group Improve designs by better safety,
operability and maintainability The client deserves the option.
(Problem: Will he pay?) Implementation Upper Management Support
Acquire/Develop Expertise Develop Specifications and Standards

Project Managers to Include HFE as Integral Part of Team Convince
Clients of Value
Need for HFE Professionals Educational Background A thought
process and not just common sense Compromises will be made
Paragon Success StoriesBritish Petroleum Mardi Gras Pipeline HFE
has been integrated into project from inception Reduced time for
redesign by implementing HFE standards and comments into initial
design Improved safety for maintenance, materials handling and
pigging operations by incorporating HFE principles As a result of
this work we are providing HF training and support to project
members of the other projects that form part of BP GoM Deepwater
Development Program FPSO Project HFE involvement in evaluation and
design of LQ save $5 -10 million by reducing square footage
requirement
Paragon Success Stories (Continued)Shell Offshore Inc URSA
Platform Implementation of redesigned control room has improved
worker satisfaction Operability and maintainability of the control
room equipment has been improved through well thought out design
Environmental characteristics have been improved through
application of proper lighting, noise and ventilation control As a
result of this work we were also asked to conduct a HF review of
Auger control room Survival Capsule Study Research showed that
capsules could not accommodate the rated number of persons due to
difference in physical size between the average offshore worker and
population anthropometrics used in the design and rating of the
capsules MMS has issued a safety alert as a result of this work A
number of GoM operators have de-rated the capacity of some survival
capsules at their facilities due to this research
Where Are We In Design SafetyUse HFE in Design and Operations

PSM and Implement
Early 1970s Develop API 14 Series
We are today where we were with regard to Hazard Analysis in
1980s Common Sense We do it already Why do we need a separate
hazard analysis? It is only good engineering practice
The truth is we needed the discipline of Hazards Analysis to
force us to make sure we implement what we knew. The one way to
make a step change in safety after implementing SEMP is through
HFE. We need the discipline of HFE professionals and an
implementation plan.

Business case
Why improving operations and maintenance tasks?
Conclusion pre start-up safety review Hycon (1988)
It has to be concluded that during engineering stage the
opportunity could have been further exploited to optimise the
design without increasing CAPEX in many cases. This refers
particularly to the fields of operability, accessibility and
maintainability.

Graphical display audit results (reference project) Insufficient
discrimination of alpha numeric characters is applied, Irrelevant
information to the operator is shown, Generally accepted norms of
application of colours are violated, Inconsistencies in static
information presentation is present, Display design has been made
decorative at the expense of their being readable and
interpretable.
ConclusionsGraphical Display designs did not improve e.g.
retrieval times, misreadings and intuitive use of controls. The
quality of the design of the Graphical Display leads to an
unnecessary and unwanted higher risk for miss operations.

Analysis of Human Factors Factors Related Accidents and Near
Near Misses Misses
James Reason Reason Emeritus Professor Professor University of
Manchester, UK UK
Two kinds of bad event event
Individual accidents: high frequency/low severity eventsslips,
trips, falls, bangs and knocks usually resulting in a few days
absence from work (lost time injuries).
Organizational accidents: low frequency/high severity
eventsexplosions, collisions, collapses, releases of toxic
substances, etc. Is system vulnerability adequately assessed by
LTIs? NO!
Two ways of looking at human human factors problems The PERSON
approach approach The SYSTEM approach approach
Individual & organizational ax ax have different causal sets
sets
Individual accidents OrgAx Arise from linked failures of
multiple system defences (System model)
Failure of limited personal protection against injury (Person
model)
Common ground: Inadequate resources Poor safety culture
Commercial pressures
The Swiss cheese model model of accident causation causation
Some holes due to active failures Hazards
Losses
Other holes due to latent conditions (resident pathogens)

Capitalizing On Behavior Based Safety To Address Human Resource
Development Needs
Ron Newton Peak, Inc. www.peaksbest.com
. . . Recruitment and retention problems are barriers to quality
improvement initiatives, a driving factor in personal injuries and
accidents, and a drain on crew performance.
American Waterway Operators Task Force
All areas of human resource development and management are now
interlinked more than ever safety, personnel recruitment and
retention, quality, fatigue, teamworkall. How Can We Capitalize on
the Behavior Based Safety Process to Improve Total Human Resource
Development?

Peak, Inc.
Mariner BehaviorsWhat Do They Look Like In The Workplace?
Lack of conflict resolution Toleration of ongoing conflict Lack
of verbal sympathy/empathy Over reliance on authoritarian
leadership Reliance on hard-core skills for competency Pervasive us
vs them verbalization Little interpersonal relationship guidelines
Consistent turnover or desire to leave job Hesitancy to listen to
personal insights/needs Hesitancy to share personal
insights/needsCapitalizing For HR Needs Peak, Inc.
Task #2
Turn Behavioral Conclusions Into Effective Behavior Based
Training Measures But Not Without First Defining The Larger Picture
Of HR (or Human Factor) Needs That Could Be Impacted
Ask
Is not resolving interpersonal conflicts a safety behavior? What
else does it affect? Is over reliance on authoritative leadership a
safety behavior concern? What else does it affect?
Need
A behavior based process which will work hand-in-glove with a
strategic human resource development model. A Comprehensive
Viewpoint.
