PREFACE
The Health and Safety Management System described in this manual was compiled to
improve HSE performance while attempting to capture the hard-learned lessons
experienced in the past.
The policies and procedures in this manual are intended to address the hazards associated
with our operations. The system is designed to enable individuals and teams to carry out a
suitable and sufficient risk assessment for each task performed and maintain control to
prevent incidents.
To achieve our safety vision of an incident-free workplace, it is vital that we know our
people and enable them to contribute to their maximum potential while respecting the
diversity of cultures and personality traits of individuals.
Mentoring is important at all levels within the organization to ensure that the wealth of
knowledge of more experienced people is shared with less experienced people, to help
them achieve their full potential.
It is not through rules alone that we will achieve our vision of an incident-free work place. It
is through people actively caring and participating in our processes and by proactively
taking responsibility for the well being of themselves and their co-workers.
It is important that all personnel understand their obligation to interrupt the operation if they
observe an act or situation that could cause an incident.
The key tools within the system are the THINK Planning Process and the START
Observation and Monitoring Process. Proper planning is the first step to implementing an
incident-free operation. The THINK process reminds personnel to think about everything
they do before actually doing it. The START process of monitoring the operation and
reinforcing safe behavior, while correcting any unsafe acts or conditions, is vital to ensure
that the necessary controls remain in place during implementation.
Personnel must be responsible and held accountable for their actions if an incident-free
workplace is to be achieved.
This manual is a living document and depends on input from the end user to ensure it is
modified or updated as necessary. Please do not hesitate to provide any feedback you
have to Corporate HSE Department.

GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Company Management System (CMS) is to define and communicate
Company leadership’s values, beliefs and expectations. This provides direction so people
can align their efforts and determine the best methods to achieve the desired results.
The CMS establishes consistent performance standards across the Company’s worldwide
operations; describes processes for monitoring results, improving performance, capturing
and sharing lessons learned; and provides people with the opportunity to align their
understanding of expectations, make personal commitments and apply their efforts to meet
performance standards.
The Company Management System includes performance standards established at all

three levels: Level 1 – Corporate, Level 2 – Business Unit and Division and Level 3 –
Installation.
This manual represents a Level 1A document within the CMS. Its purpose is to
communicate the Corporate HSE group performance standards. The Director of QHSE
Services is the designated owner of this document and is responsible for its content and
implementation.
Recommended changes to the procedures in this manual are submitted to Quality Services
through the SMART (System Management and Review Team) process, (see the CMS
Manual, HQS-CMS-GOV, in Section 5.1). The SMART process enables people at all
levels in the Company to propose and implement changes to the CMS through the
individual Core Management Functions.
The relationship between this manual and the other CMS documents is found in the CMS
Manual, HQS-CMS-GOV, in Section 5.2.

SECTION: 1
GENERAL
MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE
1 POLICY
Change to plans, situations or unexpected events must be recognized and the

associated risks managed.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that personnel understand what is required to
plan, recognize change and react by interrupting before the change leads to an
incident.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all Company personnel that work at any Company installation,
facility or office.
4 PROCEDURE
4.1 GENERAL
Management of Change is:

• planning, monitoring, recognizing change,
• interrupting to evaluate the effect of change, and
• modifying the plan as necessary.
The requirements and/or complexity of a task determine the level of management

and supervision necessary to ensure appropriate expertise and resources are used
to assess the risk, apply controls and develop the plan.
Change cannot be recognized or managed without an effective plan.
Management of Change is used to effectively recognize and manage risks when

changes, conditions and inactions in a given situation or unexpected events are
experienced.
THINK is used by the Company to formulate and communicate the plan.
START is used by the Company to monitor the plan and recognize when the plan is
no longer suitable.
Managing change while performing your task is simply the effective use of THINK
and START.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 1
GENERAL
Training for Management of Change is available on the Safety Leadership Training

DVD. (See Section 4 Subsection 1.3.)
Figure A, Management of Change Process, Simple Approach
FOCUS enhances the execution of THINK and START within the Management of
Change process by providing a consistent means to request, track and receive
additional expertise (knowledge, experience, skills) and approval from within the
organization.
If, while monitoring a plan, a change is recognized, the task must be interrupted to
assess the change and any new risks.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 1
GENERAL
4.2 MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE PROCESS
The following steps represent the Management of Change process:

1. Develop a plan for a task (THINK).
2. Monitor the plan: (START).
3. Recognize changes. (START).
4. Interrupt the task to evaluate the change (assess the risk). (START and
THINK).
5. Revise the current plan or develop a new plan (THINK) and initiate the
(FOCUS) improvement process if required.
6. Continue with the task using the revised Plan.
4.3 CARRYING OUT THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE PROCESS
The Management of Change process is carried out using one of three approaches:
• Simple
• Enhanced
• Exemption
The Installation Asset Manager, Performance Manager, and Installation Engineer

are considered part of the installation’s resources and do not require the Enhanced
Approach for utilization.
To determine which approach applies to a given situation, the rules of task planning
must be followed by the person(s) involved in creating the new or revised plan.
• Does the new or revised plan comply with the Company Management System
procedures?
• Do I/we have the knowledge, experience, skills, and approval authority to
assess AND implement the new or revised plan?
If the answer to ALL of these questions is yes, the Simple Approach may be used.
If the new or revised plan complies with the Company Management System
procedures but the knowledge, experience, skills, or approval authority is NOT
available, the Enhanced Approach must be used.
The Enhanced Approach may be used even if the Simple Approach has been
determined to be acceptable, at the discretion of the personnel performing the risk
assessment.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 1
GENERAL
If the new or revised plan does not comply with the Company Management System
procedures, an Exemption must be requested.
4.3.1 SIMPLE APPROACH
Control of the risks identified is accomplished utilizing an appropriate risk

assessment from the individual THINK plan up to the Task Risk Assessment.
If it is determined at the installation/facility level that a Task Specific THINK

Procedure needs to be developed or an existing one revised, a written THINK plan
is required for the task to proceed until such time as the new or revised Task
Specific THINK Procedure is approved.
4.3.2 ENHANCED APPROACH
The Rig Manager must review the FOCUS proposal and risk assessment to
determine if it is required and adds value, and if further assessment or additional
expertise is required. Examples of additional expertise are:
• Unit and Division management review and feedback of proposed changes.
• Engineering assistance via a Request for Engineering Assistance (REA) (See
HQS-OPS-PP-01 Section 2 subsection 4) (NOTE: Not all REAs will require
the use of FOCUS).
• Class/Flag/Regulatory approval.
• Corporate, Business Unit and Division SMART members.
• Technical field support - equipment specification or performance changes.
• HSE – safety system changes.
• Operations – well construction.
• Departments assisting with implementing proposed change.
• Specialized subcontractor.
If the Management of Change process uses the Enhanced Approach, the FOCUS
tracking software must be used.
The FOCUS tracking software is used with Management of Change to develop

plans, obtain approvals, monitor the progress and track the progress to completion.
NOTE: Approval may be granted verbally or via email in urgent and

exceptional situations but must be followed up with the required
documentation within seven days.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 1
GENERAL
4.4 EXEMPTIONS
Exemptions from Company Management System policies are not approved.

However, exemptions from Company Management System procedures are reviewed
and approved on a case-by-case basis. Management System procedures are the
Company approved methods for achieving the intent of Company policies.
If a new or revised plan does not comply with the Company Management System
procedures, an exemption from that procedure is required. The exemption is
approved only after the Business Unit Vice President has reviewed, assessed and
confirmed the alternative procedure meets the intent of the policy.
There should never be an occasion when an alternative procedure in an approved

exemption does not achieve the intent of a Corporate or Business Unit policy.
If the change exceeds the authorized operational limits, the exemption is no longer
valid and a new exemption request is required. Operational limits on an exemption
define specific boundaries or criteria for execution of the plan.
A Task Risk Assessment and Request for Exemption form must be completed and
submitted with each exemption request to verify all associated risks are identified
and the control measures to prevent and mitigate those risks are clearly listed.
The Request for Exemption form progresses through line management, (Department
Head, OIM, Rig Manager, Sector Manager, Division Manager, to Business Unit Vice
President). During this progression, should any level not approve the Request for
Exemption form, the exemption request ceases and the Company Management
System procedure is complied with or the operation is not carried out.
The Business Unit Vice President may appoint a designate to approve exemption
requests.
The final approval authority must be satisfied;

• the appropriate knowledge, experience and skills are available to execute the
alternative procedure and,
• the appropriate knowledge, experience and skills were applied during the
review and approval process, at all levels.
The final approval authority must ensure that the alternative procedure effectively
monitors and controls the risks that would normally be addressed by the approved
Company Management System procedure.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 1
GENERAL
The final approval authority must determine if the risk is within the Company’s
executive leadership expectations, prior to approval.
The exemption approval process may be carried out via email provided all of the
following are met:
• the email title must clearly distinguish the exemption request,
• the email must contain the required documents for an exemption request,
• each approving authority must include the word “approved” in the body of
their email and define any special parameters for the approval, and
• all documents and forwarded emails must be retained on the installation as
per the exemption process.
NOTE: Authorization may be granted verbally in urgent and exceptional

situations but must be followed up with a formal request and receive approval
within seven days.
All approved Request for Exemption forms must define a set period of validity. The
period of validity must include specific start and stop dates. Approved Request for
Exemption forms are not valid outside of the specific task, operation or work scope
described in the request.
All past and current approved Request for Exemption forms must be retained in a
dedicated file and kept in the OIM’s office.
The Business Unit Vice President is responsible to ensure all approved Request for
Exemption forms related to the Business Unit/Division Management system
procedures are reviewed and assessed by the Business Unit/Division System
Management and Review Team (SMART) member(s) to determine if Management
system changes are required.
The Division QHSE Manager is responsible to ensure all approved exemptions

related to Corporate Management System procedures are posted on the Division
intranet site and readily available to the Corporate Director of QHSE. The Business
Unit/Division QHSE Manager may, at his discretion; forward post approved
Exemption Request forms related to the Business Unit/Division Management
system.
The Corporate Director of QHSE is responsible to ensure the Request for Exemption
forms forwarded by the Division QHSE Manager are reviewed and assessed by the
Corporate System Management and Review Team (SMART) member(s) to
determine if Management System changes are required.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 1
GENERAL
Using the FOCUS tracking software for Exemptions is not required but may be used.
The decision to use the FOCUS tracking software is based on:
• the criticality of a QHSE related situation requiring action,
• managers and supervisors requiring a defined process for review and
approval of planned actions,
• ensuring that specific actions related to an activity are effectively executed,
• ensuring important lessons learned are captured and made available, and
• tracking actions that may require an extended period of time to complete.
The FOCUS tracking software is used with Management of Change to develop

plans, obtain approvals and monitor and track the progress to completion.

HSE MENTORING
1 RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION
The Company clearly recognizes the benefits associated with providing a working
environment in which people, at all levels of the Company, feel "connected" to the
Company and are given the opportunity to develop to their full potential. The FIRST
core values of the Company are an integral part of our daily lives. Improving human
behavior in all areas of our operation is fundamental to the success of individuals,
groups of individuals and the Company as a whole. One of the key elements in the
successful development of people is a network of mentors, within which people are
offered constructive feedback, advice, guidance and suggestions towards personal
and career development. People are respected and rewarded for helping each other
succeed.
2 WHAT IS A MENTOR?
The dictionary defines mentor as "a friend entrusted with education; a trusted
counselor, coach or guide." In modern terms, a mentor is someone who is a friend
and a role model; an able advisor; a person who lends his support in many different
ways to one pursuing specific goals.
3 WHO IS A MENTOR?
Many people have the potential to be a mentor, and may emerge from any level
within the organization. Generally speaking, supervisors should be the most
appropriate people to act as role models and mentors, simply because they have
more experience of life and work to communicate with less experienced people. In
very broad terms, a mentor is someone who has the positive personal attributes,
valuable knowledge, and the experience in their personal and working lives, which
can only be gained over a period of time. A great number of people are already
mentoring as individuals, husbands, wives, parents, friends, sports team members
and co-workers.
Mentors can be many things to many people; however, they all have similar clearly
recognizable characteristics:
• They often do not realize they are seen as mentors; they are "naturals."
• They enjoy mentoring and provide an atmosphere for learning.
• They don’t hesitate to ask other team members for advice or help when
needed, focusing on what is right, not who is right.
• They make a conscious effort to develop a sense of responsibility and
accountability within the team.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 2
HSE MENTORING
• They consider the other person's point of view, treat people as they need to
be treated and come to agreements.
• They keep their mentees informed.
• They naturally strive to develop and motivate people.
4 WHY DO WE NEED MENTORS?
It is vital that we as a Company seek and take every opportunity to develop and
motivate people within the organization. People with valuable personal qualities and
talent are in positions around the world, and we understand the value of
communicating their life and work experiences to those less experienced. Our intent
is to provide a forum and structure so people are continually encouraged, motivated
and developed.
5 WHEN DOES MENTORING TAKE PLACE?
There is no set time or place for mentoring to take place. The important thing is that
it is provided regularly, and that it is honest and understood. Remember that
feedback, both supportive and constructive, is best given as soon as possible after
the event requiring it and is best given face to face and one-on-one, but does not
have to be. People can be mentored with a look, a letter, a gift, a conversation or
phone call. The mentor knows what is appropriate.
6 HOW CAN MENTORING BE ESTABLISHED AND EFFECTIVE?
Some mentors are "naturals" in the art of mentoring and others need some advice
and guidance to improve their mentoring skills.
It must be important to establish a relationship between the people involved,

discover each other's colors and understand the characteristics of each color. A
huge motivating factor in any relationship is giving recognition. Make sure people
know their contribution is important to the team's overall success. The recognition
must be genuine; deserved encouragement brings out the best in people. Although a
close mentoring relationship needs to develop, there needs to be just enough
distance so that the mentor remains objective.
When trying to help each other, both people in the relationship must know if the
other has any concerns or worries. Ask broad, open-ended questions that give
people the latitude and permission to speak honestly and without risk. Do not pry;
you are a mentor not an inquisitor. Remember that when you ask a question it is vital
to listen to the answer. Be responsive to people's fears and concerns.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 2
HSE MENTORING
Communication is the glue that holds all relationships together and communication
must always be open and honest. A mentor should never apologize for providing
corrective feedback.
Mentors know that setbacks sometimes occur at work. Finding solutions for
problems is one of the strengths of a mentor. When searching for solutions, the
mentor always looks beyond personal interest to the "Big Picture."
Above all, mentors should understand that personal and team success is not a
single event but a continuous ongoing process. Mentors must find ways to stay
motivated towards success in endeavors.
As with many things, ACTION makes the difference, and the following steps are the
required actions for an effective mentoring network:
• In its simplest form, mentoring is a "buddy" system providing someone new to

a place of work or in a new position, with a "buddy". The buddy must be an
experienced co-worker and show what is expected, what to do and what not
to do, and provide experienced information and guidance. Remember that
very inexperienced people often do not even know the right questions to ask.
• Once established in a place of work or in a position, a person can be
reasonably expected to have learned the "basics" and mentors can then plan
long-term objectives. This is required to allow people to more fully develop
and start teaching the philosophy of the Company. As previously stated, there
is no standard format to follow, mentoring begins with communication.
• The long-term goal of mentoring is for the original mentor to phase out,
allowing the person being mentored to become a mentor, which is a natural
progression of success. In the early stages of the mentoring process, the
mentor takes the lead - teaching, coaching and explaining. The person being
mentored seeks to profit from the knowledge and skills exemplified by the
mentor's achievements. A gradual transition takes place where the person
being mentored becomes someone else's mentor. This needs to be carefully
transitioned though, and the original mentor should regularly check in with the
person being mentored so they do not feel deserted.
Treat people as THEY NEED to be treated.

Business Unit management must ensure a standard is determined for the type and
quantity of clinic equipment, medications and disposable items utilized within the
Unit.
A standard list of Company approved medicines is available in the Medical Protocols

Manual, Section 8 Subsection 4, Table 3 (see HQS-HSE-PR-02). If Business Unit
management elects to allow use of medicines other than those detailed on the
Company approved list, the following must occur:
• Each Division is responsible to forward the list of medications utilized in that
Division/Sector to the Corporate Medical Advisor (CMA).
• The CMA, with support from Corporate HSE Services, must review and
approve the list then advise Business Unit and Division management which
medications are considered prescription (Rx) or over the counter (OTC) within
the Company, and identify duplication of medications within the list.
• The CMA must communicate the classification of the Division approved
medicines as either prescription (Rx) or over the counter (OTC) to Topside
Support in each Division.
If a medicine considered prescription by the Company is substituted for a local

equivalent, the local equivalent will be considered prescription by the Company
regardless of whether the local purchase requires a prescription or not.
The determination whether medicines are prescription or over the counter will be
based on the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For Company
purposes any medicine, or dosage of medicine, identified as prescription by the FDA
is considered a prescription medication in every area of operation.
Controlled drugs must be stored and locked in a specific locker at all times. The OIM
must ensure that a system is in place for the issuance of these controlled drugs. The

2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all water intended for human use (for
example, drinking, showering, cooking, and so on.) is free from bacteria and other
harmful impurities.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all Company installations.
4 PROCEDURE
4.1 SAMPLING AREAS
Water samples must be taken from various locations, including:

• Water maker
• Bulk loading station
• Galley
• Shower rooms
• Drinking fountains
4.2 POTABLE WATER QUALITY/TESTING

• pH
• Nitrates
• Taste, odor and turbidity
• Residual bromine (if brominator installed)
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 3
Potable Water
1 Bacteriological Total Coliform count Absent

Indicators
2 Chemical Indicators pH 6.5 to 8.0
Nitrate expressed as Nitrogen < 10 mg/L
Ammonia < 1.5 mg/L
3 Aesthetic Taste Palatable
Characteristics Odor Absent
Turbidity (clarity and evidence of < 5 NTU
solids in suspension)
4 Residual Monitor bromine levels to ensure 0.2 to 0.4 mg/L or 0.2 to 0.4 ppm
Bromine ** that adequate bromination of (0.5 max allowed at injection point)
potable water is taking place.
**This test is not mandatory if a silver ionizing system is in place in lieu of a brominator.
Potable water testing equipment must be available onboard the installation.
An annual test must be conducted to establish if any heavy metal or other

contamination is present. The table below lists the minimum tests to be conducted
and the maximum acceptable parameters.
Aluminum 0.2 mg/L Lead 0.01 mg/L

Antimony 0.005 mg/L Mercury 0.001 mg/L
Arsenic 0.01 mg/L Nickel 0.02 mg/L
Barium 2 mg/L Nitrate as N 10 mg/L
Cadmium 0.003 mg/L pH 6.5 - 8.0
Chloride 250 mg/L Selenium 0.05 mg/L
Chromium, Total 0.1 mg/L Silver** 0.1 mg/L
Coliform, Total 0 Sodium 100 mg/L
Copper 1 mg/L Sulfate 250 mg/L
Cyanides 0.07 mg/L Total Dissolved Solids 500 mg/L
Fluoride 4 mg/L Turbidity 5 BTU
Iron 0.3 mg/L **When silver salts are used for disinfecting
The results of all weekly and annual potable water tests must be entered into the
planned maintenance system. A copy of the results must also be stored in the files
of the installation clinic.
Dedicated hoses used for transferring potable water from supply vessels to the

HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 3
Potable Water
All potable water from supply vessels must be tested for residual chlorine, pH, taste,
odor and turbidity before transferring to onboard holding tanks. (Allowable
parameters for residual chlorine are: 0.2 – 0.4 mg/L or 0.2 – 0.4 ppm.) Water that
does not meet the requirements must not be taken onboard.
Maintenance of the potable water systems must include cleaning of the potable
water tanks at least every three years to remove bio-films and sediment.
All potable water must pass through a brominator or silver ionizer followed by an
ultraviolet system to ensure microorganisms are eliminated. An ultraviolet system
alone does not provide residual effect after treatment. Use of a brominator or a silver
ionizer system provides the residual effect after treatment.
The use of a brominator or silver ionizer in conjunction with an ultraviolet system

represents primary and secondary treatment for water sterilization. Both primary and
secondary water sterilization are required.
Use of Calcium Hypochlorite (70% active Chlorine) or Sodium Hypochlorite (15%

active Chlorine) for potable water treatment or sterilization is not permitted.
All drinking fountains and ice machines must be equipped with a filtering device to

RISK MANAGEMENT
THINK Planning Process
1 POLICY
A suitable plan with a risk assessment and appropriate controls must be

confirmed in place, prior to all tasks.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that hazards are identified and risks are
effectively managed and controlled at all times.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all personnel that work at any Company installation or facility.
All Company personnel must incorporate the THINK Planning Process into all tasks
performed, whether working individually or in teams.
4 PROCEDURE
The THINK Planning Process is utilized for Risk Management of all activities and
tasks carried out throughout the Company.
The THINK Planning Process for Risk Management consists of the following steps:
• Correctly identifying the hazards (What If?) and associated risks
(consequences and likelihood) involved in an activity or task through risk
assessment.
• Utilizing knowledge and experience to demonstrate risks are as low as
reasonably practicable (ALARP) by applying the appropriate level of risk
assessment (THINK planning level).
• Determining the controls (policies, procedures, standards and work practices)
required to ensure the risk to people, the environment and property is as low
as reasonably practicable throughout the task or activity:
1. Preventive controls – prevent an incident by reducing the likelihood an
incident will occur.
2. Mitigating controls – reduce the consequences of an incident if
preventive controls fail or are not effective.
• Communicating the risks and controls to personnel who may be affected.
• Anticipating possible deviations from the THINK plan by identifying changes,
conditions and inactions (What If?).
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
It is essential for managers, supervisors and individuals to demonstrate risks are

ALARP prior to performing activities or tasks. Verifying controls (preventive and
mitigating) are in place and effective helps ensure identified risks are maintained as
low as reasonably practicable.
Personnel must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to perform
the activities or tasks assigned to them, including any activities to control risks. This
cannot be determined without a correctly developed THINK plan.
All Company personnel must be trained in the THINK Planning Process. Supervisors
must take an active role in the training to ensure effective understanding. Tools are
available to assist supervisors with training and implementation of the THINK
process on the “Transocean Safety Leadership Training” DVD Module 6. Effective
understanding of the process cannot be accomplished from employee-computer
interface. Supervisors must utilize the information from the DVD to coach, mentor
and monitor the effectiveness of their employees’ THINK plans. (See Section 4
Subsection 1.3)
4.1 DEMONSTRATING RISKS ARE ALARP
Company personnel reduce risks to as low as reasonably practicable by completing

a qualitative risk assessment at the appropriate THINK planning level and applying
appropriate controls available in the Company management system (policies
procedures and standards), site specific work practices, and regulatory
requirements.
All THINK plans include the requirement to reduce risks to as low as reasonably
practicable. Reducing risks to as low as reasonably practicable requires personnel to
consider the various additional risk reduction measures (additional controls) and
determine if the effort and cost of those measures justify the additional amount of
risk reduction obtained.
4.2 LEVELS OF RISK MANAGEMENT
Figure A visibly represents the levels of the THINK Planning Process available for
identifying, assessing and controlling risk through effective planning:
• THINK Planning Process - Individual
• THINK Planning Process - Verbal
• THINK Planning Process - Written
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Task Specific THINK Procedure

• Task Risk Assessment (TRA)
• HAZOP / HAZID (Hazard Operability Study/Hazard Identification)
• Major Accident Hazard Risk Assessment (MAHRA)
• Safety Case
• Operations Integrity Case (OIC)
The THINK Planning Process includes hazard identification and provides various
levels of risk assessment to demonstrate risks are as low as reasonably practicable.
The level of risk assessment applied is dependent upon the:
• number of people involved in the assessment
• knowledge, experience, and skill of the people participating in the assessment
and developing the plan
• criticality and complexity of the task or activity
• potential negative consequences that may occur during the task or activity.
Higher levels of THINK planning used within the Company include Task Risk
Assessments (TRAs), HAZOPs/HAZIDs, Major Accident Hazard Risk Assessments
(MAHRAs), Safety Cases, and Operations Integrity Cases (OICs). These levels of
THINK planning provide a higher level of detail to ensure risks are demonstrated to
be as low as reasonably practicable. Demonstrating risks are as low as reasonably
practicable for tasks, activities and hazardous operations is accomplished through
risk assessment and effective application of controls represented by the Company
Management system and site specific work practices.

RISK MANAGEMENT
4.3 THINK PLANNING PROCESS
The steps of the THINK Planning Process are:
• PLAN What is the desired/required result? How will the

activity and task be performed, in what order and
steps? Who has the necessary skills and experience
to safely perform the tasks and steps? When are the
tasks and steps required to be performed?
• INSPECT What tools, equipment or work areas require

inspection? Who will do the onsite inspection? What
were the results of the onsite inspection?
• IDENTIFY (What If?) What hazards are people, environment or

equipment exposed to? What are the potential
causes and consequences related to these hazards?
How likely are they to happen? What are the risks
involved and are you able to clearly demonstrate
they are as low as reasonably practicable?
• COMMUNICATE What is required to be communicated regarding the

hazards identified? With whom do we need to
communicate? Have the risks been communicated to
the appropriate level of authority and supervision?
• CONTROL What controls (procedures, work practices or

resources) are required to reduce the identified risks
to as low as reasonably practicable? Have appropriate
controls to reduce the likelihood of an incident
occurring (Preventive) and reduce the consequences
(Mitigating) of an incident occurring been effectively
implemented? Have the appropriate controls from
the Company Management System been clearly
identified and applied? Are personnel involved
constantly aware?
Creation of an effective THINK plans requires individuals or groups to be competent

to perform the task and ask themselves:
• Have I identified the changes, conditions, and inactions (What If?) that could
lead to possible negative consequences?
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Did I consider the likelihood that the negative consequences may occur?
• Even though the risk in my plan is within my risk tolerance, have I
demonstrated it to be as low as reasonably practicable?
• Do I understand what I need to do to recognize and manage change?
The START observation card can be used at the work site as a prompt to assist in
developing effective THINK plans.
4.3.1 RULES OF TASK PLANNING
When developing your THINK plan, you must follow the rules for task planning. By
following the rules of task planning, you ensure that you and your team have the
knowledge, personal experience, skill, and authority necessary to develop an
effective THINK Plan, manage change, and successfully complete your task without
incident and injury. You also determine which approach for managing change will be
applied while carrying out the THINK Plan.
The rules of task planning are:

• The plan, and all its steps, must comply with the Company’s Management
System procedures. You must meet the expectations communicated by your
supervisors and described in the procedures.
• You must have the knowledge of the steps needed to perform the task safely
and correctly. You must understand the steps needed to complete the task.
• You must have the personal experience to anticipate what should happen
next and what could go wrong.
• You must have the skills to be able to perform the steps of the task safely and
correctly.
• You must have the approval authority to plan and perform the task before
proceeding.
4.3.2 THINK PLANNING PROCESS – INDIVIDUAL
The THINK Planning Process will be most widely applied at the individual THINK
plan level to assist individuals in planning what they are about to do. Individuals
must use the THINK Planning Process to Plan, Inspect, Identify, Communicate and
Control all tasks and associated hazards and risks. Individuals must apply START
monitoring during execution of the planned task in order to recognize any deviation
from the THINK plan, which may create new hazards and risks.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
4.3.3 THINK PLANNING PROCESS – VERBAL
The verbal THINK Planning Process is used when more than one person is involved
in a task. Joint participation in developing the THINK plan is required. Adequate
communication between the personnel involved must ensure all aspects of the
activities, tasks, risks and controls in the THINK plan are reviewed and understood.
When each person involved fully understands and agrees on the THINK plan and
the necessary controls are implemented, the task may proceed.
4.3.4 THINK PLANNING PROCESS – WRITTEN
The written THINK plan is provided for supervisors to manage risk associated with
tasks carried out by their crew using the Rules of Task Planning and by:
• Creating experiences that provide learning opportunities.
• Ensuring their people practice effective individual and verbal THINK planning
skills on the job.
• Reinforcing the practice of hazard identification (What If?) and assessment on
the job.
• Satisfying themselves people have learned and developed necessary skills to
carry out their job in a safe and responsible manner.
• Understanding and implementing available preventive and mitigating controls.
• Identifying the hazards and assessing the risks (What If?).
• Understanding what is needed to anticipate, recognize, and manage change,
The supervisor is responsible for the quality and completion of the written THINK
plan.
The THINK Process Checklist must be utilized and completed to ensure effective
written THINK plans are created. See Figure E2.
The START observation card can be used at the work site as an additional tool to
prompt and assist in the development of written THINK plans.
If appropriate, the planning stage for development of a written THINK plan may take
place in an area other than the work site. The work site must be visited for the
Inspect, Identify, Communicate and Control stages. Visitation of the work site allows
the personnel assessing the risks and developing the plan to:
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Get a clear understanding of the environment including the layout of and safe
and possible unsafe conditions in the area.
• Identify hazards, actual and potential, and their consequences.
• Inspect tools and equipment in the area and those that will be or may be
required for the task.
• Communicate with people directly and indirectly involved with the planned
task who may be affected by the task.
• Make an initial plan of control measures required to be implemented for the
task, people and work area.
4.3.5 TASK SPECIFIC THINK PROCEDURE
Task Specific THINK Procedures are utilized to execute tasks that have been
identified to have a higher level of criticality, complexity, or risk, based on the
hazards identified for the tasks within the activity. Task Specific THINK Procedures
document the safest and most effective way to perform a task, incorporating the
experience of personnel involved.
The Task Specific THINK Procedure is comprised of task steps, critical task steps or
both.
A critical task step is a task step that, if not performed correctly, can cause
significant loss (severity rating of 15 or higher, see Section 4 Subsection 6.3) and a
likelihood probability of Conceivable, Possible, or Likely. See Figure B, Risk
Classification Matrix, for results marked with “†”.
Task Specific THINK Procedures represent Level 3 Installation Specific Procedures

that are the basis for establishing effective and reliable preventive and mitigating
controls for all task steps. The personnel at each installation or facility must
determine the necessary controls (including ones in the Company Management
System) for each task step in a Task Specific THINK Procedure. See Figure F for
Task Specific THINK Procedure format options.
Task Specific THINK Procedures are required for all hazardous operations as
determined by the installation’s Operation Integrity Case.
All crew members involved in or affected by the task must participate in the
development of the Task Specific THINK Procedure. This assists them in identifying
hazards and incorporating controls to reduce the risk of injury or incident.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Application of a Task Specific THINK Procedure requires individuals or groups to:

• Review and discuss the Task Specific THINK Procedure prior to commencing
the task.
• Confirm the control measures for all task steps within the procedure.
• Ensure personnel understand their responsibilities to carry out the task steps.
• Understand the hazards and the consequences of those hazards.
• Ensure the expected results are understood prior to commencing the activity.
• Determine individual requirements through their own individual THINK plans
after understanding the Task Specific THINK Procedure.
If it is determined at the installation/facility level that a Task Specific THINK

Procedure needs to be developed or an existing one revised, a written THINK plan
is required for the task to proceed until such time as the new or revised Task
Specific THINK Procedure is approved.
Task Specific THINK Procedures require initial review and approval from the OIM
and final approval of the Rig Manager. This approval process is required prior to the
Task Specific THINK Procedures being included in the company management
system at the installation level (Level 3 Installation Specific Procedures),
4.4 TASK RISK ASSESSMENT
The Task Risk Assessment provides a more detailed risk assessment to

demonstrate that risks related to specific task steps are as low as reasonably
practicable. The potential consequences for all critical task steps must be clearly
identified in the assessment so existing control measures can be verified and/or new
control measures implemented to reduce the identified risks to as low as reasonably
practicable.
A Task Risk Assessment is required for all exemption requests and to assess critical
task steps in Task Specific THINK Procedures. (See Section 1.5)
The Task Risk Assessment is available to provide a higher level risk assessment of
the critical task steps listed in Task Specific THINK Procedures or written THINK
plans.

† TSTP Task steps with this risk require a Task Risk Assessment.
See Figure G in the documentation section of this procedure for an example of a

completed Task Risk Assessment worksheet.
4.5 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (HAZID)
A HAZID study is the structured, systematic risk assessment of an activity in order to

identify the hazards associated with it. For example, the activity of drilling a high
pressure/high temperature well would normally be split into a number of smaller
tasks. Each task should be reviewed in turn, asking, "What could go wrong?" or
"What if this happened?"
4.6 HAZARD AND OPERABILITY (HAZOP)
A HAZOP study is used to identify HSE hazards and operability issues for
equipment or systems to reduce risks to ALARP. HAZOPs are primarily used during
the design stage.
A HAZOP team should consist of personnel familiar with the equipment and systems
and be lead by a facilitator trained and competent in the HAZOP process.
4.7 MAJOR AND OTHER WORKPLACE HAZARDS
Transocean has three processes to provide assurance that Major Hazards are
effectively managed: the Major Accident Hazard Risk Assessment (MAHRA), the
HSE (or Safety) Case, and the Operation Integrity Case (OIC). Every vessel in the
Transocean fleet must have a current version of a MAHRA, Safety Case, or OIC. As
MAHRAs and Safety/HSE Cases require review and updating, the OIC process
should be used.
A Major Accident Hazard Risk Assessment (MAHRA) shows that major hazards
have been identified, the risk associated with those hazards has been qualitatively
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
assesses and that the preventive and mitigating controls necessary to reduce the
risk to ALARP have been identified. The MAHRA identifies risks from three
perspectives: by compartment, by system, and the installation as a whole. The
MAHRA relies upon the knowledge and experience of the installation’s personnel.
A Safety Case is a document that contains a summary of the details of the

installation, installation management and Company safety management system.
Additionally, it shows the Company has identified, evaluated and analyzed all major
accident hazards that may affect the installation and has in place appropriate means
for controlling risks associated with those hazards including the procedures and in-
place systems for evacuation, escape and rescue from the installation.
A Quantitative Risk Assessment may be used as part of the Safety Case risk
assessment. Its use must be suitable and sufficient depending on the level of risk
and local requirements.
The Safety Case is used to demonstrate major HSE risks are as low as reasonably
practicable to meet regulatory requirements in the United Kingdom, Norway,
Denmark, Netherlands and Australia.
The Operation Integrity Case provides assurance that major and other workplace
hazards are identified, the risks associated with these hazards are assessed, and
that the necessary controls are in place to reduce the risk to as low as reasonably
practicable. Each identified control is assigned a responsible person. The OIC
process is based upon (and referenced to) the Company Management System, so
does not rely solely on the knowledge and experience of the personnel involved. For
further information on the OIC process see HQS-HSE-ST-01.

Permit to Work
1 POLICY
All installations and facilities must have a Permit to Work system in place that
safely controls hazardous operations.
All personnel must be trained prior to using the Permit to Work system.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that authorized personnel, who are
knowledgeable of the hazardous operation to be performed, have planned the work,
inspected the work site, identified the hazards and communicated the suitable
control measures to be taken to prevent the occurrence of an incident using the
Permit to Work System.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all personnel who work at any Company installation or facility.
4 PROCEDURE
A Permit to Work is not required for every job. Consider other forms of control
measures, such as the THINK Planning Process, Energy Isolations, and so on
before generating a permit.
4.1 GENERAL
Responsible persons have designated areas of the installation/facility and relevant

equipment in their spheres of responsibility. A list of the responsible people (by
position), their designated areas of responsibility and equipment must be posted at
the administration site. They are responsible for ensuring all control measures and
procedures are in place, prior to signing the Permit to Work.
4.2 OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM

• Ensure that proper authorization is given to carry out specific work at a certain
time and place.
• Ensure that personnel carrying out the work clearly understand the nature of
the job, the hazards involved and the limitations on the work and time.
• Specify the control measures to be taken before starting the work, during the
work and after completing the work.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
• Ensure the OIM or designee is fully aware of and approves the work to be
done.
• Provide a record showing the type of work and indicate that a responsible
person is assigned.
• Provide a procedure for determining times when work must be suspended.
• Provide procedures for other activities that may interact.
• Provide a formal hand-over procedure if work overlaps a shift change.
• Provide a formal hand-back procedure to ensure that any part of the
installation affected by the work is returned to a safe condition and ready for
reinstatement.
• Provide a central display of open or suspended permits.
4.3 VALIDITY
The maximum validity of any Permit to Work is 24 hours. If the work is not complete
within 24 hours, close the existing Permit to Work and initiate a new one following all
steps listed in this procedure.
4.4 HAZARDOUS OPERATIONS
Hazardous operations that require a permit include, but are not limited to, the
following situations:
4.4.1 HOT WORK
Hot work includes welding and oxygen/acetylene cutting, electrical work, grinding
(fixed or portable), needle gunning and all work using other types of ignition sources.
With regards to hot work, hazardous operations that require a permit include but are
not limited to:
• Welding and oxygen/acetylene cutting anywhere on the installation except in
the approved designated safe welding area.
• All hot work in any designated hazardous area or in any area where an
explosive gas mixture is likely to occur in normal operations.
• Any time an electrical apparatus cannot be made dead (for any reason) and is
considered hazardous to life.
• All use of open flames such as burning garbage or use of an outdoor cooking
grill.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
As a minimum, the THINK planning process must be used for all other hot work to
determine if a Permit to Work is required or what other controls need to be put in
place.
Due to the risk of fires or explosions during hot work, ALL alternative methods of
accomplishing the job must be considered prior to hot work being authorized.
Aspects that must be considered during any hot work include at least the following:
• Well operations or situations, well testing, and simultaneous operations.
• Back sides of walls, bulkheads, decks, floors, deck heads, and ceilings.
• Areas adjacent to the work, such as fuel tanks or paint lockers.
• Combustible materials stored in the area (must be removed or protected).
• Vapors present or generated by the hot work.
A system must be in place so that all hot work is suspended and relevant ignition
sources confirmed shut down when circumstances dictate.
Hot work must not be performed on any drum or other container that previously
contained hazardous materials.
A. WELDING AND OXYGEN/ACETYLENE CUTTING
Only personnel authorized by the OIM are permitted to use welding or

oxygen/acetylene cutting equipment.
Welding performed on structural members, high-pressure lines and lifting appliances

must be performed only by an appropriately certified (coded) welder.
A designated safe welding area must be established by conducting a risk

assessment. Whenever possible, welding and oxygen/acetylene cutting operations
must be performed within the designated safe welding area. A Permit to Work may
not be required in the designated safe welding area.
All designated safe welding areas must be approved by the Division Manager.
Adequate ventilation must be provided for fumes and dust generated by welding and
cutting operations. If adequate ventilation cannot be accomplished, suitable
respiratory protection must be worn.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
When welding or cutting, the welder must wear appropriate clothing/PPE, including:
• Welding shield and hardhat combined, or a hand-held shield and a hard hat
with suitably shaded transparent eyepiece approved for welding.
• Shaded eye protection when cutting.
• Dry leather welding gloves.
• Leather aprons (where appropriate).
• A long sleeve garment approved by the manufacturer as suitable for welding.
• Heat resistant, Kevlar or similar material Company approved full-body
harness, when required. Shock absorbing lanyards must be protected from
sparks and slag while in use during welding or cutting operations.
Clothing, particularly gloves, must be kept as dry as possible to assure some

protection against an electric shock.
Screens or other effective means must be used to protect persons who may be
exposed to harmful radiation or sparks from electric arc welding.
Welder's assistants and fire watchers must take adequate precautions to protect
against welding flash.
All welding cables must be fully insulated and maintained.
All grounding connections must be secured to eliminate sparking.
Welding machines must be switched off when not in use.
B. FIREWATCHER
A firewatcher must be assigned and clearly identifiable (for example wearing an

orange vest) for any welding or cutting operation performed outside the designated
safe welding area, and have no other duties while so assigned.
Only personnel who have satisfactorily completed the Company Firewatcher OJT in
the Safety OJT Module can be authorized by the OIM to be assigned as a
firewatcher. (See Section 4 Subsection 1.3)
The firewatcher must wear long sleeves made of a flame-retardant material.
The firewatcher is responsible for carrying out the following duties:
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
• Assist the welder in inspecting and preparing the work site before beginning
work.
• Ensure that adequate fire-fighting equipment is readily available and
familiarize themselves with its operation and what to do in the event of a fire.
• Sign the Permit to Work before beginning the work.
• Continually monitor the work site and adjacent areas for hazards that may
affect the welder or that are created by the hot work.
• Remain at the site for a suitable length of time after the welder has completed
his assignment, watching for any indication of burning or smoldering.
• Inspect and re-inspect the site where possible smoldering may occur for a
minimum of 30 minutes after completion of any welding or cutting operation.
• Notify the welder of intention to leave the work area so that a hand-over of
responsibility to a suitable replacement can be carried out.
• Take adequate precautions to protect against welding flash.
4.4.2 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY
Confined spaces are defined as a tank, mud pit, tunnel or similar spaces where
there is a danger of explosion, lack of oxygen or the presence of toxic gases. All
spaces that are not normally lit, not normally ventilated and not normally manned are
also considered confined spaces.
All reasonable and practicable options to perform the task that do not require
confined space entry must be ruled out and controls must be in place before
proceeding.
A Permit to Work must be completed for any confined space or tank entry and a
copy must be posted outside the area to be entered.
A. TRAINING
Any personnel entering confined spaces must be trained in the hazards of confined
space entry and use of the equipment that must be utilized. This training (See
Section 4 Subsection 1.3) and practical demonstration must be given in a formal
manner and fully documented.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
Responsible persons and the Emergency Response Teams must be trained and
exercised in the proper use of the installation or facility specific confined space
rescue and retrieval equipment. The training and drills must be documented. (See
B. EQUIPMENT
The following equipment must be available for confined space entries:

• For work within confined space:
1. A portable gas detector capable of continuously monitoring the oxygen
content, H2S content and Lower Explosive Limit (L.E.L.) complete with
accessories to allow remote detection.
2. An explosion-proof air exhaust fan.
3. A minimum of two explosion-proof portable lights.
4. Explosion-proof radio communication set.
5. Appropriate warning signs and barricades.
• For vertical confined space entry over 6 feet 7 inches (2 meters):
1. A portable tripod with a combined fall arrestor/retrieving winch or
similar system.
2. One Company approved full body harness per person.
• For rescue within confined space:
1. One 30-minute Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) per
rescue team member.
2. A stretcher that allows rescue of an injured person.
C. VENTILATION OF CONFINED SPACE
Before completely removing the fastening devices on a confined space, the internal
pressure must be checked and vented if necessary.
The atmosphere must be sampled for oxygen levels and combustible gas using a
portable gas detector. If levels of toxic, inert, or combustible gases or oxygen are
detected that present dangerous and hazardous conditions, the area must not be
entered until measures have been taken that render the space safe.
All equipment used for testing purposes must be maintained and calibrated.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
Persons who are competent should carry out testing. Those carrying out the testing
should also be capable of interpreting the results and taking any necessary action.
Testing must be conducted for each re-entry.
There are substantial risks if the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere varies
significantly from normal, 20.9%. For example, oxygen enrichment increases
flammability of clothing and other combustible materials. Oxygen deficiency induces
impairment to personnel.
Atmosphere below 19.5% or above 22% oxygen by volume must not be entered
except for emergency rescue purposes and then only when personnel are equipped
with positive pressure respirators.
D. CONFINED SPACE STAND-BY PERSON
A stand-by person must be assigned and clearly identified for any confined space
entry. A stand-by person must have no other duties while so assigned.
Only personnel who have satisfactorily completed the Company's confined space
awareness training can be authorized by the OIM to be assigned as a stand-by
person. (See Section 4 Subsection 1.3)
The stand-by person is responsible for carrying out the following duties:
• Assist the competent person to sample the atmosphere for oxygen and
combustible gas levels.
• Ensure adequate rescue equipment is readily available and familiarize
themselves with its operation and what to do in the event of an emergency.
• Sign the Permit to Work before beginning work.
• Remain at the confined space entry site while any personnel are inside.
• Continually monitor the confined space entrance and adjacent areas for
hazards that may affect the personnel working in the confined space.
• Prevent unauthorized entry.
• Maintain contact with a manned control point (control room, radio room, and
so on) and with the personnel in the confined space.
• Maintain a tally of the persons inside the confined space.
• Notify the person in charge of carrying out the work of their intention to leave
the work area, so that a hand over of responsibility to a suitable replacement
can be carried out.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
• Immediately raise the alarm if there are indications (through the agreed
system of communication or otherwise) of the personnel within the confined
space being negatively affected by the atmosphere. After raising the alarm,
under no circumstances should the stand-by person stationed at the entrance
attempt to enter the confined space before additional help has arrived.
E. CONFINED SPACE ENTRY
For all confined space entries, sounding must be done before entering. In case of a
doubtful sounding or suspected presence of fluid that presents a drowning hazard,
personnel must wear a floatation device.
An adequate system of communication must be agreed upon and tested by all

involved to ensure that those entering the space can keep in touch with the stand-by
person stationed at the entrance.
The time of opening or closing a confined space and entry or exit of personnel must
be recorded at the manned control point (control room, radio room, and so on.).
The atmosphere must be continuously monitored with a portable gas detector to

verify that the atmosphere remains gas free and that an acceptable oxygen level is
maintained.
Air movers or blowers must be used for venting and to provide a continuous supply
of fresh air while the work is in progress, unless sufficient airflow is obtained through
a free flow process. Air movers or blowers must be installed in such a position that
the fresh air intakes do not draw in fumes or vapors.
Provisions must be made for ready exits and entrances. Tanks, vessels or other
confined spaces having openings or manholes in the side as well as in the top must
be entered from the side when practicable. The use of a safety line to indicate the
direct route to and from the work site must be considered.
Fuel tanks and crude oil tanks must not be entered without Rig Manager approval.
No source of ignition may be introduced into a confined space where flammable

vapors or gases may be present.
When working in confined spaces, all pipelines discharging into that space must be
closed with blind flanges, plugs or valves and energy isolation signs and tags
posted. (See Section 4 Subsection 5.4)
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
There must be at least two rescue team personnel in the confined space and one
rescue team person outside the confined space equipped with approved respiratory
equipment for all rescue situations in a confined space requiring respiratory
equipment.
F. HOT WORK IN CONFINED SPACES
In addition to the above and the hot work procedures, (See 4.4.1) personnel must
adhere to the following procedures.
If a high level of combustible gases or oxygen enriched atmosphere (above 20.9%)

is detected, the area must be naturally aired or ventilated and a new test conducted.
Repeat the airing/ventilation and testing procedure until the test indicates the area is
safe for hot work.
If torch cutting or welding is carried out on pipelines passing through confined

spaces, they must be isolated, purged if necessary, and energy isolation signs and
tags posted prior to the hot work starting. (See Section 4 Subsection 5.4)
One of the highest risks from using gas within a confined space is the accumulation
of gas due to leakage from the cylinders or hoses. To reduce this risk, gas cylinders
should not be taken into confined spaces. Where it is necessary to take gas
cylinders into confined spaces, periodic gas checks must be made in the vicinity of
the cylinders and always prior to recommencing work after a break. The cylinders
must be removed immediately on completion of the task.
When hoses are run into a confined space from gas cylinders outside the confined
space, all hoses and fittings must be disconnected from the gas cylinders or
removed from the confined space during extended breaks.
4.4.3 WORK ABOVE OPEN WATER
All work carried out over open water, outside the handrails and anywhere there is a
danger of falling into the sea.
4.4.4 TRANSFERS TO/FROM SUPPLY AND CREW BOATS (SEE SECTION 4

SUBSECTION 5.2, BOAT OPERATIONS)
A Permit to Work is required whenever personnel are transferred to or from a supply

or crew boat by a personnel transfer system, such as a personnel basket or Frog.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
Permit to Work
A Task Specific THINK Procedure must be developed and utilized when performing
this task.
4.4.5 WORK ON SUPPLY BOATS
The Company strongly discourages allowing any Company personnel to work

on supply or crew boats. If, in an exceptional circumstance, personnel work
on supply or crew boats, only experienced and competent people (as
determined by the OIM) are permitted to perform the task and controls must
include the use of a written THINK plan.
4.4.6 WORK WITH EXPLOSIVES (SEE SECTION 4 SUBSECTION 5.7)
Any time explosives are removed from their certified shipping containers.
4.4.7 WORK WITH RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS (SEE SECTION 4 SUBSECTION

5.7)
Any time radioactive materials are removed from their certified shipping containers.
4.4.8 DIVING
All manned diving operations carried out from the installation or where there is an
interface between manned diving operations and the installation.
4.4.9 ENERGY SOURCES (SEE SECTION 4 SUBSECTION 5.4)
The OIM or designee must determine if a Permit to Work is an additional

requirement when an isolation certificate is issued for maintenance or repair of a
system or component containing energy. In some cases, the work is only hazardous
because of the energy. When effective isolation is achieved, the work may no longer
be hazardous because the energy source (such as electrical energy, hydraulic
pressure or air pressure) has been removed.

4.6 SUSPENSION OF PERMITS
A permit must be suspended for any of the following reasons:

• Activation of the general alarm or instructions on the PA system. The permit
administrator must be notified immediately of the cessation of work. As soon
as it is safe and practicable, return all copies of suspended permits to the
Permit System Administrator to keep until reactivation is allowed.
• At any time when any person feels that the circumstances have or may
change, such as when the control measures in place are not adequate or
other activities going on could cause additional hazards.
• If the control measures in place are not adequate.
4.7 REACTIVATION OF PERMITS
Reactivation of the work must take place only after the responsible person confirms
that all the control measures are in place.

Dress Requirements and Personal Protective Equipment
1 POLICY
The Company must provide Company personnel appropriate Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE) and instruction in its use.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all personnel are adequately protected
from environmental elements and relevant workplace hazards where it is not
practical to reduce relevant exposure to acceptable levels by using engineering
control or practices.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all personnel that work at Company installations and facilities.
4 PROCEDURE
Occupational health and safety is devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation

and control of those factors or stresses, arising in and from the workplace, which
may cause illness, impaired health and physical injury. Any health or safety hazard
has, by definition, the potential to cause harm in some way. Safety hazards (cause)
can usually be linked to the harm (effect) directly. For example, a person is struck by
a hand tool dropped from the derrick due to the hand tool not being tied off. In
contrast, health hazards are not always obvious and potential adverse health effects
may not be directly linkable to a single cause. As a result, controls to limit exposure
to health hazards may be inadequate or overlooked. This is a key difference in
identifying between health hazards and safety hazards, and in assessing and
reducing the associated risks.
4.1 COMPANY APPROVED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
All PPE worn by Company personnel must be Company approved. The

maintenance of critical PPE must be performed by authorized, competent personnel.
Effective protection is only possible when the selected PPE is:
• Suitable for the task
• Suited to the wearer and the environment
• In good condition
• Within the expiration date and worn correctly by someone who has been
trained to use it
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Of sufficient quantity to meet the needs of personnel
4.2 TRAINING
Business Unit management must ensure personnel are trained in the use of PPE.
The training must cover both theory and practice on the PPE to be used. The
training must be based on the recommendations and instructions supplied by the
manufacturer. (See Section 4 Subsection 1.3)
4.3 HEAD PROTECTION
Hard hats must be worn by all personnel outside the accommodation at all times
except in designated areas approved by the Division Manager. These areas must be
clearly marked to indicate that a hard hat is not required.
Hard hats must be secured when working two meters or more above the deck, or as
conditions dictate. Hard hats must be:
• Fitted with a means of securing, such as chinstrap or hearing protectors.
• Designed so as not to prevent wearing ear muffs and/or a face shield.
• Made of non-conductive material and worn as recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Discarded if the shell of the hard hat is damaged.
Hard hat suspension must be adjusted to fit the wearer and not modified.
The company hard hat color designation to identify visitors and employees new to
the installation is:
• Bright orange or international orange – visitors and Short Service Employees
• White – all other Company personnel
4.4 HEARING PROTECTION
The appropriate hearing protection must be worn in designated high noise areas,
which exceed 83 dB. These areas must be clearly marked.
Hearing protection must be placed at the entrance of high noise areas to ensure that
all persons who enter have hearing protection available.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
RISK MANAGEMENT
4.5 EYE PROTECTION
All personnel must wear approved safety glasses, complete with approved side
shields, when outside the accommodation, except in designated areas approved by

4.6 DRESS REQUIREMENT/CLOTHING
Appropriate clothing that ensures personal safety and protects an individual from the
elements must be worn. All clothing must be Unit approved.
No jewelry may be worn while working. This includes finger rings, pierced or clasp
earrings, studs and rings worn in face or body piercings, tongue piercings, metal
watch straps, necklaces, chains, or medallions. The only exception is for non-
conductive watches and non-conductive medical alert tags.
Certain operations, as determined by the THINK planning process, may require

additional protective clothing. The following are examples of operations and required
additional protective clothing:

NOTE: This minimum requirement must be reviewed when working in known

H2S areas (See Section 4 Subsection 3.1)
Only experienced persons will perform replacement or repairs of respirators, using

parts designed for the respirator.
Replacement or repair of regulators is performed only by the regulator’s

manufacturer or their authorized representatives.
Each SCBA bottle must be uniquely identified.
At least two of the Installation’s 30-minute SCBAs must have voice communication
capability.
All Company personnel with Emergency Response duties and those who might use
facial seal respirator for escape purposes in emergencies must maintain facial hair in
such a way that allows a proper facial seal.
Employees are not permitted to wear contact lenses or glasses with temple pieces
when using a pressurized full-face respirator.
A system must be in place to record the entry and expected time of exit of personnel
using SCBAs in hazardous or oxygen deficient areas.

4.15 HAND-ARM VIBRATION (HAV)
HAV is vibration that reaches the hands when working with hand held power tools,
hand guided machinery, or when holding materials being processed by machinery.
Regular exposure to HAV can cause a range of permanent injuries to hands and
arms, known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).
Risk factors contributing to HAVS are:

• How high the vibration level is
• Duration of exposure
• How awkward the equipment is to use
• How tight users must grip equipment
• Environmental exposure during use (cold weather and rain)
When planning tasks that utilize equipment with potential to cause HAV, the hazards
must be identified and the risk reduced. The factors that must be considered include:
• Can the task be performed without the use of vibrating tools
• Are there tools available with vibration control built in
• Control length of exposure by rotating personnel during task
• Amount of force exerted on the equipment to complete the task
• Condition and maintenance of equipment used

SECTION: 4
PLANNING
Hydrogen Sulfide
1 POLICY
Precautions must be taken to ensure early detection of Hydrogen Sulfide gas

(H2S) and to ensure contingency plans are in place to safeguard all personnel.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to protect all personnel on an installation from the
potentially lethal effects of H2S gas.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all personnel that work on Company installations.
4 PROCEDURE
H2S is a highly toxic, colorless (transparent) gas that can paralyze the respiratory
system and kill within minutes. Being heavier than air, H2S tends to accumulate in
lower areas. Mud pit areas are particularly hazardous. If H2S is heated sufficiently, it
will rise. H2S has an odor of rotten eggs, but it quickly destroys the sense of smell,
leading to a false sense of security. Disappearance of the smell after it has first been
noticed may be due to an increase rather than a decrease in concentration.
4.1 CONTINGENCY PLAN WHEN H2S IS NOT ANTICIPATED
An H2S contingency plan must be in place and provide clear instructions as to what
actions are to be taken in the event of an H2S emergency whether the installation is
working at an open location or in close proximity to a fixed platform that may
potentially release H2S. In the case of a fixed platform, a contingency plan that
outlines the simultaneous operations and associated H2S risks should be developed
between the client and the installation.
Adequate fixed H2S detection devices must be located in key areas on the
installation, and set to alarm at 5-PPM low level and 10-PPM high level.
Each installation must be equipped with a minimum of two portable H2S gas
detectors.

A H2S contingency plan must be in place and provide clear instructions as to what
actions are to be taken in the event of an H2S emergency whether the installation is
working at an open location or in close proximity to a fixed platform that may
potentially release H2S. In the case of a fixed platform, a contingency plan that
outlines the simultaneous operations and associated H2S risks should be developed
between the client and the installation.
Adequate fixed H2S detection devices must be located in key areas on the
installation, and set to alarm at 5-ppm low level and 10-ppm high level.
Each installation must be equipped with a minimum of two portable H2S gas
detectors.
Every person on the installation must be trained to know the dangers of H2S gas,
and must be instructed on the use, function, and location of safety equipment before

The client is to ensure, prior to drilling into a zone suspected to contain H2S, that
H2S equipment is available onboard (installed and tested), and that all personnel are
refresher-trained, know the site specific dangers of H2S related to the well and have
been instructed in the proper use of required PPE.
The client must provide adequate resources (fixed and portable PPE, training on the
use of PPE, appropriate stand-by vessels, and so on) are allocated and in place
before drilling into a zone suspected to contain H2S.
All personnel must be fit tested with all H2S PPE onboard while drilling in a zone
suspected to contain H2S.
A HSE Meeting must be held before drilling into a zone suspected to contain H2S.
Emergency Response Team members must undergo practical refresher training with
specific focus on the treatment of H2S poisoning.
A sufficient quantity of self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs) must be

START Process
1 POLICY
The START Process must be used to observe and monitor work practices,
plans and workplace conditions.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to:

• Empower employees to observe tasks and work areas and look for safe and
at-risk/unsafe behaviors and safe and unsafe conditions.
• Empower employees to monitor themselves and others to ensure the safe
execution of a plan by interrupting and correcting at-risk/unsafe behaviors,
unsafe conditions and unplanned changes.
• Increase personnel’s ability to recognize and respond to hazards.
• Reinforce observed or monitored safe behavior through effective feedback.
• Interrupt operations when unplanned change is recognized.
• Promote accountability for maintaining a safe workplace.
• Obtain commitment among co-workers to repeat safe behavior.
• Provide supervisors with feedback on trends in safety behavior.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all Company personnel, regardless of position.
Any client, subcontractor or client subcontractor that works at any Company

installation, facility or office must be encouraged to take an active part in the
process.
4 PROCEDURE
The START process must be actively led by all supervisors and supported by all
Company personnel.
All Company personnel are responsible for their own safety and behavior. All
Company personnel are obligated to interrupt any unsafe operation and correct any
at-risk/unsafe behavior or unsafe condition.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
START Process
Proper implementation of the START process by all personnel provides an effective

method of preventing injuries, safeguarding equipment and avoiding operational
exposures by all personnel.
4.1 GENERAL
4.1.1 START PROCESS
SEE with total focus and observe for safe and at-risk/unsafe behavior and
conditions. Recognize safe behavior and reinforce it with effective feedback, treating
each person on an individual basis. Correct at-risk/unsafe behavior and conditions
immediately, in a constructive manner. Understand the colors of the person you are
relating to and treat them as THEY NEED to be treated.
THINK about what you see. Think "what if?" to anticipate and recognize change.
What can happen as a result of the change, condition or inaction you are observing?
Think what to say. The success of your message is determined by how it is spoken.
ACT to monitor and observe safe and at-risk/unsafe behavior as well as unsafe
conditions. Anticipate and recognize change and immediately interrupt the task to
evaluate the change to either correct the condition/behavior or revise the plan. If a
person is working in an at-risk/unsafe manner, immediately interrupt the task and
correct the behavior. Failing to take action means that you condone the unsafe
condition or at-risk/unsafe behavior.
REINFORCE safe behavior with specific effective feedback to encourage continued

safe behavior and raise awareness of at-risk/unsafe behavior and unsafe conditions.
Communicate corrective and improvement opportunities with effective feedback to
encourage change. Remember, when giving feedback, be specific.
TRACK results of observations through active participation by all personnel.

Tracking is sharing and communicating observations with people on a daily basis to
reinforce a safe workplace and raise people’s awareness of where to focus their
efforts and proactive measures.
4.1.2 THE START PROCESS IS USED TO PERFORM OBSERVATIONS AND

FEEDBACK.
Observations can be performed on an individual (or individuals engaged in

performing the same task) or conditions. Performing an observation on an individual
does not necessarily require specific knowledge and responsibility of the task being
performed. The individual performing the observation makes the commitment to
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
START Process
identify safe conditions and safe behavior and/or interrupt the operation to act on an
unsafe condition or at-risk/unsafe behavior.
For people to provide effective feedback to one another requires they actively care
about each other’s safety. Effective feedback requires that people recognize and re-
enforce safe behavior at every opportunity and interrupt/correct at-risk/unsafe
behavior immediately.
4.1.3 THE START PROCESS IS USED TO MONITOR THINK PLANS.
Monitoring a THINK plan is when an individual or group has knowledge and

understanding of a plan, and makes the commitment to continually assess the plan
in progress. The purpose of monitoring plans is to recognize any change or deviation
from the plan. The resulting consequences of not recognizing a change or deviation
from the plan can be one or more of the following:
• An unsafe condition
• An at-risk/unsafe behavior
• A missed opportunity to interrupt
• An incident (Near Hit, Serious Near Hit, Personnel Injury, Environmental
Damage, Property Damage)
All personnel must continually monitor their THINK plans and work conditions using
the START Process.
4.2 START OBSERVATION TRAINING
All Company personnel must be trained in the performance of START observations.

Training is available on the “Transocean Safety Leadership Training” DVD Module 7.
Supervisors must actively participate in their employees’ START training utilizing the
information from the DVD. Effective understanding of the process cannot be
accomplished from employee-computer interface. Supervisors must utilize the
information from the DVD to coach, mentor and monitor the effectiveness of their
employees’ observation and monitoring techniques. (See Section 4 Subsection
1.3)
The quality of START observations is enhanced by performing them daily using the
START Card.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
START Process
Supervisors should perform joint observations with non-supervisory personnel or

subcontractor personnel to assist their development and understanding of the proper
START observation and feedback techniques.
4.3 START CARD
Supervisors must ensure that they and their personnel perform START observations
and record them on START Cards.
4.4 START OBSERVATION TRACKING
The OIM must ensure an effective system is in place to:

• provide personal oversight of START participation by personnel,
• track, communicate, trend START observations and,
• act upon the results of observations as needed.
Effective START Observation tracking consists of the following:

1. Review and communication of observations by personnel, supervisors and
onboard management. (Review in pre-tour, pre-task, departmental and
morning meetings.)
2. Establish trends of observations for safe behavior, at-risk/unsafe behavior,
and safe and unsafe conditions in the workplace (what, where, when).
The Management of Change process must be used for improvement or corrective

opportunities created from trending results (see Section 1 Subsection 4). Refer to
FOCUS Improvement Process (Section 4 Subsection 6.2) to determine if utilization
of the FOCUS tracking software is necessary.
4.5 START MONITORING
START monitoring is an essential part of the execution of any THINK Plan. It must
be continuously performed. START monitoring is performed by an individual on their
Individual THINK Plan, or performed by a group of individuals on the group’s THINK
plan. START monitoring the execution of a plan is another method of tracking.
Anticipation and recognition of change is accomplished by continuous START

monitoring of the plan using personal experience and knowledge of the plan to
evaluate what could potentially change or cause deviation from the plan.
START monitoring can only be performed by individuals that have a thorough

understanding of the plan. To monitor effectively, continuous evaluation of a plan
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
START Process
must be performed to compare what is actually seen, heard and experienced versus
what is planned to be seen, heard or experienced.
START monitoring provides the opportunity to recognize change or deviation from

the plan that has occurred or could occur. Anticipation or recognition of a change
provides the opportunity to interrupt the task and assess the change to control any
new risks.
Effective START monitoring must be performed during the execution of a THINK

plan and includes continuously asking yourself:
• Is the plan still good for the task at hand?
• Are the tools and PPE still suitable for the task at hand?
• Are the risks still the same as identified in the plan?
• Are more or fewer people involved in the task?
• Are all people involved or affected by the plan informed?
• Do I know what will happen next?
4.6 START TOURS
Supervisors must perform periodic dedicated START observation tours. This is

accomplished by making rounds for the specific purpose of conducting observations.
START tours may also be conducted with non-supervisory personnel or
subcontractor personnel for training purposes.
5 RESPONSIBILITY
5.1 ALL PERSONNEL:

• Participate by personally performing START observations daily.
• Are responsible to help achieve an incident-free workplace by interrupting any
unsafe operation and correcting any unsafe behavior or conditions.
• Immediately report any observed unsafe condition to a supervisor if it cannot

2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to enforce safe work practices to prevent injuries or
damage to the environment.
3 SCOPE
This policy covers all Company personnel.
This policy also covers employees of any client, contractor or outside agency at any
Company installation or facility.
4 PROCEDURE
Understanding risk and acknowledging that not everyone perceives risk at the same
level creates the need for effective communication at all times. All Company
personnel are responsible for their own safety and behavior. They are also obligated
to interrupt any unsafe operation and take necessary steps to correct any unsafe
behavior or conditions.
The procedure below does not capture all basic safe work practices but is meant to
give examples to encourage personnel to THINK about basic safe work practices
when planning or carrying out a task. Typically, many injuries occur when basic safe
practices are not followed, causing slips, trips, falls and crush points. Proactively
using the THINK planning and START monitoring processes and incorporating basic
safe practices will prevent such injuries from occurring.

where an established infrastructure provides reliable and consistent quality control
supported by regulatory legislation, this check may be performed prior to delivery to
the installation/facility. The cylinder must be accompanied with documentation to
confirm the contents. The gas/cylinder provider should have a system in place to
manage and track the inspection and filling of the gas cylinders.
In locations where an established infrastructure does not provide reliable and

consistent quality control, cylinder contents must be verified at the installation/facility
for inert or flammable gases, prior to use.
Cylinders must be stored in an upright position at all times. Caps must be removed
only when the cylinders are in use. If cylinders are designed for caps, they must be
secured on both full and empty cylinders while they are being moved or transported.
When cylinders are in transit, they must be secured, preferably in racks.
Cylinder trolleys should be used to transport cylinders from one place to another.
Portable transfer racks for working sets of oxygen/acetylene bottles must be

constructed to ensure a steel plate separates the bottles, and bottles are adequately
secured to protect gauges, regulators and valves.
Portable transfer racks and cylinder trolleys subject to being hoisted must be
included in the lifting gear register.
Cylinders should not be subjected to temperatures above 54°C (129°F) and should
be stored in a shaded area. Cylinders must also be protected from the radiant heat
of flares.
The cylinders should be stored in a designated area.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Empty cylinders should be separated from full ones and must be marked
accordingly.
Closed storage areas must be ventilated to atmosphere or cylinders must be stored

in the open air.
Oxygen and acetylene cylinders must not be stored alongside one another. They
must be separated by a distance of at least six meters or with a non-flammable
barrier.
Cylinders must not be used as rollers or support even if they are believed to be
empty.
Valves on all compressed gas cylinders must be closed when not in use.
An efficient backpressure valve (in-line check valve) and a flash/flame arrestor must
be provided near the cylinder in the acetylene and oxygen supply lines.
The pressure of oxygen should always be high enough to prevent acetylene flowing
back into the oxygen line.
Acetylene pressure should not exceed 1-bar (14.7psi) due to risk of explosion.
When oxygen or acetylene cylinders are coupled (banked), flame/flash arrestors

should be used between the cylinders and the coupler block or between the coupler
block and the regulator. Only oxygen or acetylene cylinders of approximately equal
pressure should be coupled.
Manifold hose connections, including inlet and outlet connections, should be such
that the hose cannot be interchanged between fuel gases and oxygen manifolds and
headers.
Grease or oil must not be used on any oxygen/acetylene system threaded

connections.
Only approved pressure gauges may be attached to oxygen and acetylene

bottles. These gauges must be dry gauges and crossovers should not be used.
No liquid filled gauges may be used on any compressed gas bottles unless it is filled
with Halocarbon liquid.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Only those hoses specifically designed for welding and cutting operations should be
used to connect an oxygen/acetylene cutting torch to gas outlets.
Accumulators and pulsation dampeners must be pre-charged with only inert gases,
such as nitrogen.
Oxygen must not be used in place of compressed air for tools, air starters, cleaning
purposes or other uses.
4.2.5 COMPRESSED AIR
Compressed air must not be used as a means of removing dust, dirt, and so forth,
from a person’s body or clothing.
Air used for cleaning or drying purposes must only be done using adequate tools,
and the pressure must be limited to 30psi.
Compressed air must not be used for blowing a drift through tubulars.
Compressed air must not be used for clearing a blocked line or pipe, except during
the routine operation of the bulk system.
The main rig air system or any rig air compressor must not be connected to the flare
boom. Connection to the flare boom via portable air compressor(s) stored on an
open deck is allowed.
Isolation valves cannot be installed in relief lines either before or after the pressure
relief mechanism.
4.2.6 OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY
Other forms of potential energy must be considered during the hazard identification
step of the THINK Planning Process, including:
• Thermal Energy, such as heat or cold radiating from hot or cold surfaces;
heat generated by friction or chemical reaction, steam lines, steam lances,
and so forth; or cold generated by flowing gas, and so forth.
• Kinetic energy, such as unsecured hanging items swinging due to vessel
motion, movement due to sudden impact from another item, dropped objects,
and so forth.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
• Chemical energy, which can be the result of a chemical reaction between two
or more substances. Review the manufacturer's instructions and Material
Safety Data Sheets before mixing chemical substances (for example, two-part
paints, two-part resins, use of acid or alkaline batteries, and so forth).
• Nuclear energy (which results in a radioactive hazard) and explosives are
covered in the Hazardous Material Policy. (See Section 4 Subsection 5.7)
• Stored energy (such as compressed springs and electrical capacitance)
which may not be as obvious or as easily isolated.
4.3 ENERGY ISOLATION
4.3.1 PERSONS INVOLVED IN ISOLATIONS
A. RESPONSIBLE PERSON
The person who authorizes isolations within an area of operation or for a particular
system. The OIM must authorize Responsible Persons for defined areas of
operation and systems.
B. COMPETENT PERSON
The person who is deemed “Competent” to isolate a given piece of equipment or

system. The OIM must authorize individuals as competent persons for each type of
energy isolation.
C. PERSON IN CHARGE OF CARRYING OUT THE WORK
The person who is in charge of carrying out the work on the isolated equipment and
is the person who requests permission for the isolation from the Responsible
Person.
D. OIM
The OIM determines if a Permit to Work is an additional requirement when an

isolation certificate is issued for maintenance or repair of a system or component
containing energy. In some cases the work is only hazardous because of the energy.
When effective isolation is achieved, the work may no longer be hazardous and
hence the isolation process controls the risks associated with the energy.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
4.3.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE ISOLATION SYSTEM
The overall objective is to always use the highest level of isolation that is reasonably
practicable.
• The adequacy of the isolation must reflect any reasonably foreseeable
hazards and the consequences should those hazards be realized.
• Isolations must be in place throughout the duration of the operation.
• Isolations must be “tried” to prove effectiveness.
• Isolated equipment and remote operating stations must be correctly and
clearly identified with energy isolation tags.
• Isolations must be recorded in the documentation system.
4.3.3 STANDARD ISOLATION PROCESS
A standard isolation is one that is in place for equipment or systems for work
performed during a period less than 24 hours (see paragraph 4.3.5 for Long Term
Isolation).
The following is the standard process for a person in charge of carrying out the work
to request an electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, thermal and/or hydraulic isolation:
• Contact the relevant departmental responsible person.
• The responsible person authorizes the isolation and ensures the person in
charge of carrying out the work fully understands all relevant isolations
required.
• The person in charge of carrying out the work contacts the competent person
who then performs the isolation.
• The competent person must ensure that all stored energy is discharged prior
to performing the isolation.
• The competent person isolates and tags the equipment or system with the
required warning tags. Locks, hasps or other special arrangements to
positively isolate the energy source may be required.
• The competent person and person in charge of carrying out the work must
physically conduct a test to ensure that the isolation is effective before work
on the equipment or system begins. This can be achieved by either
attempting to operate (if equipment) or (if a system) by other physical means
(mechanical, electrical, bleed off of pressure, etc.) to confirm positive
isolation.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
• The person in charge must periodically monitor the effectiveness of the

isolation. Any work handed over must be entered on the isolation certificate.
• When work is handed over, the person in charge must verify that the isolation
of equipment or system and discharge of stored energy remains effective.
The competent person and person in charge of carrying out the work (who may be
the same person) must enter the isolation details on the isolation certificate. One
copy of the isolation certificate is retained at the isolation co-ordination point and the
person in charge of carrying out the work retains a copy.
There must be a system in place for each person performing work on an isolated
piece of equipment to maintain control (individually lock or secure) of the mechanism
maintaining the isolation.
4.3.4 STANDARD DE-ISOLATION PROCESS
The following is the standard de-isolation process for the person in charge of
carrying out the work to request an electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, thermal and/or
hydraulic de-isolation:
• When a job is complete, the person in charge of carrying out the work must
complete the relevant section of the isolation certificate. When de-isolating
from a long-term isolation, the isolation must also be closed out in the long-
term isolation logbook and removed from the notification board.
• The person in charge of carrying out the work requests the responsible
person to confirm that the equipment is safe to be de-isolated.
• The competent person ensures that it is safe to restore energy, removes all
isolation tags (locks, etc., if used) and signs off on the isolation certificate.
• The responsible person or designee can now test the equipment. They must
be satisfied that the equipment is operating correctly and that the relevant
people have been informed before the equipment is returned to service.
4.3.5 LONG-TERM ISOLATIONS
An isolation is considered long-term if it has been active for more than 24 hours and
the equipment is no longer actually being worked on (for example, awaiting spare
parts) but is not ready for de-isolation.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
When a change of status from standard to long-term isolation is required, the person
in charge of carrying out the work notifies the responsible person and all parties
involved in the standard isolation.
During any long-term isolation, the following additional points must be addressed:
• The OIM must be informed by responsible person.
• The method of securing the long-term isolation (for example, locking of
electrical isolators, locking of valve handles, removal of valve handles, use of
blind flanges, and so forth) must be confirmed.
• All copies of the isolation certificate must be marked “LONG-TERM
ISOLATION.”
• One copy of the isolation certificate must be retained at the isolation
coordination point.
• Long-term isolations must have a copy of the isolation certificate at the
isolation points and may also have a copy on the equipment itself.
• A long-term isolation logbook or notification board must be maintained at an
appropriate central location.
When the work recommences on equipment covered by a long-term isolation, the

responsible person informs the OIM or designee and ensures that:
• The competent person and the person in charge of the work review the long-
term isolation certificate. The person in charge of the work must sign the long-
term isolation certificate.
• Operation of the equipment is physically tried to confirm positive isolation
before work on the system or equipment begins.
• The work proceeds according to standard isolation procedure previously
detailed.
4.3.6 LONG TERM DE-ISOLATION PROCESS
Proceeds according to standard de-isolation process.

Fall Protection
1 POLICY
All installations and facilities must adequately protect personnel from the risk
of falling from heights.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the risk of falling is assessed and
personnel are protected from falling and the injuries associated with falling.
3 SCOPE
4 PROCEDURE
Fall protection is a system of support that prevents or arrests an individual's fall. A

method of fall protection must be utilized when working at an elevated position that
is more than 6 feet, 7 inches (2 meters) above normal working surfaces and where
any fall hazard exists.
4.1 TRAINING
All employees must be trained to recognize the hazards of falling and the
procedures to be followed in order to minimize any associated risk. (See Section 4
Subsection 1.3) The training must include a practical demonstration using
equipment utilized on the installation. The training must be given in an organized
manner and must be fully documented.
There must be one person trained as a Competent Person in fall protection by a

Company approved instructor on the installation at all times. Each Business Unit is
responsible for approving fall protection training providers. (See Section 4
Subsection 1.3)
There must be one person trained by a Company-approved instructor as a

Competent Person in confined space rescue and rescue from heights on the
installation at all times. Each Business Unit is responsible for approving the training
provider(s). (See Section 4 Subsection 1.3)
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Fall Protection
4.2 METHODS OF FALL PROTECTION
The following methods of fall protection must be used, in order of preference:

• Fall hazard elimination (for example, repositioning valves down to deck level).
• Traditional fall protection (for example, handrails, guardrails).
• A fall restraint system, such as restraint lines that prevent personnel from
reaching the fall hazard (for example, derrickman's harness).
• A fall arrest system, such as lanyards with personal shock absorbers, self-
retracting lifelines (inertia reels), or ladder climbing systems that "catch"
personnel when the possibility of a fall cannot be prevented.
Fall protection procedures (for example, personnel basket, man-riding operations)

must be used only when it is clearly impractical to provide complete fall protection
using any of the preceding methods. Personnel using such procedures must be
trained to recognize the fall hazards involved and to fully understand their roles and
responsibilities.
4.3 TRADITIONAL FALL PROTECTION
All stairways and permanently elevated walking and working areas must be
equipped with handrails.
All deck openings must be covered or adequately guarded.
Handrails, including temporary and removable types, must be of sufficient strength.
All handrails, barriers, stairways, gratings, elevated walkways and elevated working
areas must be maintained. A procedure for verifying the integrity of these structures
must be included in the planned maintenance system.
4.4 FALL PROTECTION SYSTEMS AND PPE
Units or Divisions must define and approve specific fall protection equipment to meet
the minimum standards outlined in this procedure and comply with local legislation.
(See HQS-OPS-EST-708-02 Equipment standard for Fall Protection Devices)
Fall protection systems and equipment must be inspected before each use and
included in the planned maintenance system.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Fall Protection
Fall protection equipment inspection criteria and regime must meet the
manufacturer’s recommendations for each.
The rescue of personnel working at elevated levels must be discussed and planned
for during the THINK planning process for the relevant task. As a minimum, the
following must be considered during discussion and planning:
• Equipment required to perform rescue operations.
• Length of time required to perform rescue operations.
• Forces exerted on personnel from being suspended for that period of time.
• Availability of alternative methods to perform rescue operations.
Equipment designed for rescue from heights must be stored, maintained and
inspected as per the manufacturer recommendations and included in the
installation’s planned maintenance system.
All fall protection PPE must be properly stowed in dedicated boxes or lockers when
not in use.
4.5 FIXED VERTICAL LADDERS
A dedicated fixed-ladder climbing system is a system fitted to fixed ladders to

provide personal fall protection during ascent or descent.
Only Company approved ladder-climbing systems, fall arrest devices and full body
harnesses may be used for ladder climbing.
Back scratchers or ladder cages are not considered suitable or sufficient fall
protection equipment.
All derrick ladders must be fitted with a dedicated fixed-ladder climbing system.
Personnel on ladders must maintain a minimum of three points of contact at all

times.
All ladders designated “For Emergency Escape Only” must be clearly identified (for
example, painted red) in a manner to avoid confusion with other ladders and
maintained so it is accessible and kept clear of obstruction.
Any ladder used as a platform to perform work must be fitted with fall protection
suitable for the work performed.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Fall Protection
4.5.1 LADDERS OVER 10 FEET (3.05 METERS)
All fixed vertical ladders over 10 feet (3.05 meters), except those used solely for
emergency escape, require one of the following during ascent or descent:
1) A dedicated fixed ladder climbing system OR
2) The use of a permanent or temporary fall arrest device OR
3) Fall prevention providing 100% tie off at all times.
All fixed vertical ladders over 10 feet (3.05 meters), except those used solely for
emergency escape, must be assessed to determine a suitable means of fall
protection. This assessment must include as a minimum:
• Necessity of ladder
• Feasibility of replacement with stairway
• Location of ladder
• Frequency and duration of use (rarely/often used)
• Existing, normal condition of ladder (slippery, damaged, clean, dry, and so
forth)
• A procedure for installation of a temporary or permanent fall arrest device
prior to use or procedure for use of fall prevention that provides 100% tie off
at all times (if determined a fixed ladder system is not practical)
Risk assessments must be approved by the Rig Manager or Facility Manager,

reviewed by the Division Manager and filed on the installation or at the facility.
All ladders assessed as unnecessary must be removed.
4.5.2 LADDERS 10 FEET (3.05 METERS) AND UNDER
Ladders not exceeding the height of 10 feet (3.05 meters) do not require the use of
fall protection provided a formal risk assessment determines the appropriate answer
is “no” to each of the following questions:
• Is there a potential for falling a distance greater than 10 feet? (for example:
into an open hole, overboard, or to a lower level landing, and so on)
• Is the ladder used daily AND there is a danger of landing on sharp objects or
moving machinery parts?
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Fall Protection
• Is the normal condition of the ladder considered to be of poor traction AND

the frequency of use is at least weekly?
NOTE: A “yes” answer to any of the above questions will require the use of fall
protection and the assessment outlined in paragraph 4.5.1 (above) for ladders
over 10 feet must be used.
When a formal risk assessment concludes that the fitting of a fall arrest system or
device would likely encumber or restrict the user or increase the potential of the fall
hazard, such a system or device does not need to be installed if appropriate
alternative control measures are put in place.
Risk assessments must be approved by the Rig Manager or Facility Manager,

reviewed by the Division Manager and filed on the installation or at the facility.
4.6 FALL ARREST SYSTEMS
All fall arrest systems must limit the arrest force to 1,800 lbs. (818 kg), use a
Company approved full body harness, be connected to an acceptable anchor point
and have compatible connectors throughout.
All materials and equipment used in fall arrest systems must be purpose bought for
the use intended. Any equipment having potential to be confused with lifting gear
must be identifiable as fall protection only.
An acceptable anchor point for a personal fall arrest system is a secure point of
attachment (for example, a beam, girder, column, floor, or other fixed structural
member capable of withstanding a minimum force of 5,000 lbs. (2273 kg) for each
person attached to that anchor point). The anchor point must be located above
personnel to minimize free-fall distance and swing-fall potential, which must not
exceed the manufacturer's recommendations, or 30 degrees from vertical
(whichever is less).
Compatible connectors (for example, D-rings, O-rings and eye bolts) are sized to
reduce the possibility of rollout or side loading on the safety gate of the connecting
snaphook or carabiner connector.
Snaphooks must not be connected to snaphooks and carabiner connectors must not
be connected to carabiner connectors.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Fall Protection
Fall arrest lanyards must be connected to an acceptable anchor point as high as

reasonably practicable and adjusted to minimize free-fall distance.
Fall arrest systems, with the exception of ladder climbing systems and SRL’s, must
include a shock-absorbing device and must be attached to the rear D-ring (dorsal
attachment) of the full-body harness.
Manufacturer's recommendations of minimum working height must be followed when

using shock-absorbing devices.
Fall arrest systems, in conjunction with a personal flotation device, must be utilized
when there is a possibility of falling into the water.
Fall arrest systems must be used in workbaskets whenever practical.
Any component of a fall arrest system that is used to arrest a fall must be returned to
a manufacturer authorized service center for re-certification.
4.7 LIFTING OF PERSONNEL
(See Section 4 Subsection 5.6, paragraph 4.4 Manriding)
4.8 SELF RETRACTING LIFELINES (SRLs)
Self retracting lifelines (inertia reels) must be retracted when not in use to prevent
alteration of the spring memory or corrosion of the cable.
Additional shock absorbing devices must not be used in conjunction with inertia
reels.
Connectors of self retracting lifelines to anchor points must be of a positive locking

type. If shackles are to be used, they must be a four part shackle and controlled in a
manner to ensure they will only be utilized with fall protection equipment.
Cargo type slings may be used to secure the SRL to the anchor point. Only sling
type adaptors manufactured for this purpose and with compatible connectors may be
utilized with fall protection equipment. (See HQS-OPS-EST-708-02 Equipment
Standard for Fall Protection Devices)

(See HQS-OPS-EST-708-02 Equipment Standard for Fall Protection Devices)
4.10 DERRICK ACCESS
Access to the derrick is only with the driller's permission. A Derrick Log Book must
be used to record personnel movement, tools taken into the derrick and any unsafe
observations.
All derricks must be equipped with an emergency escape device or alternative

escape route. If a device is used, it must be installed to allow escape of personnel
from the derrick to a dedicated landing area free of hazards and obstructions.
4.11 DERRICKMAN CHANGEOUT PROCEDURE - MANUAL DERRICKS
The derrickman's safety harness must be stowed at the entrance of the monkey
board to allow the derrickman to put it on prior to walking onto the work platform and
to remove it after leaving the platform.
The derrickman must wear a fall arrest system in addition to a fall restraint system.
The anchor point for the fall arrest system must be capable of withstanding a
minimum force of 5,000 lbs. (2273 kg), and must be located above the monkey
board to minimize free-fall distance and swing-fall potential.
The traveling block must remain near the rig floor while derrickmen are changing out
until the new derrickman confirms that he has donned and secured the safety
harness.
New derrickmen must be accompanied by experienced derrickmen or an Assistant

Driller until they are considered capable of safely working on the monkey board by
themselves.
4.12 CASING STABBING BOARD/BASKET
Casing stabbing boards must include the following safety devices:

• Primary locking device
This device must operate when the lifting mechanism is not operating
(command in neutral position). This locking device is an automatic fail-safe
brake included by design in the winch.
• Secondary locking device: Fall arrestor
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Fall Protection
This device must operate if the hoisting mechanism fails or if the wire breaks,
and must prevent the traveling carriage assembly from free falling. This anti-
fall device consists of a separate safety wire rope connected to the derrick,
which passes through a slack rope safety lock connected to the traveling
carriage assembly, which automatically operates in the event mentioned
above. The safety lock is actuated by loss of tension in the main winch cable,
which initiates an immediate stop of downward travel by the carriage. The
safety rope runs between side rails for protection.
• Tertiary locking device: Parking brake
A mechanically operated safety lock latch mechanism must be fitted to the
carriage assembly framework with pawls which engage with the latch rails on
the stabbing board when the carriage is stationary. Alternately, where
restraints preclude using a mechanical lock latch system, a pneumatic fail
safe lock can be used, operating on the same safety cable as the slack rope
safety lock.
• Extension platform position warning device
A safety indicator must be provided to warn the driller that the board is in the
path of the traveling block assembly (the casing stabbing board is in the
extended position/extension platform out). An example of a warning device is
a limit switch that activates a red light in the driller’s house whenever the
platform is extended.
• Safety harness and fall arrestor at the casing stabbing board/basket.
A safety harness connected to a fall arrestor must be available at the casing
stabbing board. The fall arrestor must be secured to the derrick/mast. It is
forbidden to install the harness to the traveling part of the platform. The fall
arrestor must be of an inertia reel type to accommodate the traveling up or
down of the casing operator and platform.
The fall arrest system for personnel working from the stabbing board/basket must
include:
• An anchor point located on the derrick structure (not on the stabbing
board/basket or stabbing board structure).
• A self retracting lifeline to allow vertical movement of the stabbing
board/basket.
The casing stabbing board/basket must be labeled:

• “SUITABLE FOR CARRYING PEOPLE”
• To indicate the number of personnel it is rated to hold/carry

Padeye - An engineered load bearing attachment point designed to be used with a

shackle. It is either integrated or welded into a structure, piece of equipment or lifting
appliance and used to transfer a dynamic load or secure a static load.
4.1 MAINTENANCE AND USE OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT
Any person using lifting equipment must be trained in the rigging practices and load
handling methods used for that equipment. They must also have working knowledge
of its capabilities and any defects likely to arise in service. (See Section 4
Subsection 1.3)
Equipment found to have a defect affecting the safe operation must be removed
from service and repaired, load tested and authorized for use or destroyed.
A register of all lifting equipment must be maintained at each installation and facility.
This register must be able to trace any piece of lifting equipment back to a current
load test certificate. Every effort must be made to retain the original manufacturer
certificate aboard the installation. All lifting appliances must be included in a planned
maintenance system.
A system that uniquely identifies the Safe Working Load (SWL), inspection
frequency and individual identification of each piece of lifting equipment and each
padeye must be maintained at each installation and facility.
A competent person must inspect all lifting equipment and padeyes at least every 12
months. A record of that inspection must be kept at the installation or facility. All
recommendations made within the report must be acted upon and, if necessary,
inserted in the FOCUS Planning and Tracking software.
Color coding must be used to clearly identify the last inspection date of all lifting
equipment. The table below describes the Company color coding system to be
utilized at installations and facilities.
Inspection Frequency Even Year Odd Year

6 Monthly Yellow White Green Blue
Annual Yellow Green
In the event the color code for a specific year conflicts with an external source, such
as client requirements, the color scheme may be reversed.
All new lifting equipment placed in service shall be marked with the current color
code.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Mechanical Lifting
Lifting equipment must be used only for the specific purpose for which it was
designed. Before a lifting operation commences the following checks must be made:
• A SWL must be clearly marked on the lifting appliance
• The weight of the load must be within the SWL rating of the lifting appliance
• The lifting gear and appliance has been inspected and marked with the
current color code
• The lifting gear and appliance do not display any visual signs of damage
Any item of lifting equipment subjected to repair or alteration in the design must be
re-certified and authorized for use before being reinstated. For example, a padeye
welded on at the wrong load-pull angle should not be used until it is welded on at the
correct pull angle, to avoid side loading. The padeye must be re-certified following
the repair.
Natural or manmade fiber rope must not be used for lifting purposes. Recommended
rope usage includes tag lines for moving cargo, tailing casing, and securing items.
Tag lines must be used to assist with the control of loads handled by the crane
within the installation. Sufficient taglines should be used whenever practicable for
the transfer of loads to and from the installation.
Chains must not be used for lifting purposes with the exception of:
• Bushing pullers
• Manual and powered chain hoists (for example: stabbing board and BOP
handling hoists).
• Specialized sea fastenings
• Tail chain equipped to monkey board pullback tugger
Crane wires must be changed out at the following intervals:

• Whip line, main block and boom hoist – every two years
• Boom pendant lines – every 5 years
4.2 PADEYES
All existing padeyes must be machine fabricated. This may include padeyes with a
drilled bore, plasma cut bore, or forged bore design. Plasma cut bores should
represent a finish and tolerance standard equal to a drilled bore.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Mechanical Lifting
Padeyes with flame-cut (hand-held torch) bores are not permitted.
The existing structure to which a padeye is to be installed or attached must be

suitable for design requirements. Design calculations are required if there is any
doubt regarding the adequacy of the support structure.
Surface preparation prior to a padeye welding attachment must be appropriate to the

weld specification. Welding must only be performed by an appropriately certified
(coded) welder.
Special use or seldom used padeyes are exempt from annual inspection and color
coding provided they are clearly identifiable by red paint and physically locked out of
service. These padeyes must be inspected and load tested prior to return to service.
A log of locked out padeyes must be maintained aboard the installation.
Frequently used padeyes must be examined as per the required criteria.
4.2.1 PADEYE DESIGN
For padeyes with rated loads exceeding 6 short tons, the padeye must be designed
and engineered by Transocean Engineering Department.
4.2.2 NEW PADEYE INSTALLATION AND TESTING
The fabrication of padeyes at Company facilities or onboard installations is

dependent upon the ability to achieve the Company approved padeye design. (Ref.
Drawing no. 8100-393 S-PZ 1000, ALT.0)
Pre-fabricated padeyes should be obtained and made available for new installation
and use. All padeyes must be provided with supporting design calculations, material
specifications and approved welding procedures.
After installation, all welds must be thoroughly inspected to locate defects such as
surface cracks, surface porosity, incomplete root penetration and undercut.
After the installation of a padeye, proof load test with load at 150% of the rated load
must be performed. The load test must include the side load conditions that the
padeye is designed to handle. Items in the test assembly must be inspected and
their SWL at least that of the proof load being applied to the item being proof loaded.
After the proof load test, the padeye, welds, and all lifting gear used to perform the
test must be inspected to observe whether any part has been damaged or

permanently deformed by the test, and whether any crack in the welds has been
initiated. This will be confirmed by both visual inspection and non-destructive tests,
either Liquid (Dye) Penetrate Examination conforming to ASTM E165 or wet
Magnetic Particle Examination conforming to ASTM E709.
Padeyes to be installed onto the following structures, for the purpose of supporting
loads, require prior Engineering approval:
• Derrick
• Crown Block
• Piping
• Side shell
• Jackup legs
• Diagonal and horizontal braces of semi-submersible’s hull
• Any other structure where high strength steel alloys are believed to have
been used
4.3 TUGGER WINCHES - GENERAL USE
All tugger winches must be maintained in good working order and ready for
immediate use. Any defects must be reported immediately.
A ball valve must be fitted on the supply line adjacent to each tugger winch to allow
rapid shutdown.
A manual or automatic spooling guide must be fitted to all tugger winches.
The working end of a tugger wire must be color-coded the same as the tugger. This
is to provide a means for the tugger operator to visually monitor which wire he is
controlling. This must be verified during pre-use inspection.
The working end of tugger winch wires must not be wrapped around equipment for
hoisting or pulling. Slings and snatch blocks must be correctly used to avoid
damaging the tugger wires.

alternative methods of accomplishing the job must be considered prior to manriding
operations being authorized.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Mechanical Lifting
A written THINK plan must be led by the Toolpusher or OIM before beginning any
manriding operations. Depending on the planned operation, a Permit to Work may
be required. The START process must be used to monitor the work, and if any
changes occur, the work should be interrupted and the written THINK plan revised.
As a minimum, the THINK plan must include:
• consideration of a contingency rescue/recovery plan in the event of possible
equipment failure or power loss
• weather and lighting conditions
• counter balancing effects of the winch wire
Work that might interfere with the manriding operation must be assessed, and if
necessary, suspended.
The Toolpusher or OIM must be present during all manriding operations.
Except in extenuating circumstances, the Toolpusher or OIM must ensure the

drawworks brake is adequately secured or in the parked position.
The person in charge of the manriding area may only select trained personnel to
perform the manriding operations. Everyone involved in winch/tugger operations
must have successfully completed Company approved manriding awareness
training and a practical exercise using installation specific equipment. (See Section
4 Subsection 1.3)
All winches used for manriding must be designed for manriding and be inherently
safe (that is, no clutch mechanism and no possibility for the winch to go into
freewheeling mode).
General-use winches may not be used for hoisting personnel unless also designed
and approved by manufacturer for manriding.
All winches used for manriding (both dedicated and general use/manrider approved)
must have the following features, as a minimum:
• Manufacturer label indicating operational parameters and approval for
manriding.
• A sign affixed to winch clearly indicating suitability for manriding (for example,
“SUITABLE FOR MANRIDING”).
• The winch operating lever must automatically return to neutral when released
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Mechanical Lifting
• An automatic brake that will engage upon returning the operating lever to
neutral or on loss of power.
• A secondary braking system for the wire drum that functions in the event the
automatic brake fails or does not engage. This brake may be automated or
manual.
• A guide (manual or automatic) for spooling the wire rope onto the drum.
• Have an OEM approved procedure, or be supplied from an air pressure
vessel or hydraulic accumulator bank with sufficient reserve capacity
available, to lower rider in a controlled manner in the event of the loss of main
rig power.
• An emergency shut off valve to isolate air or hydraulic power to the winch
located within the winch operator's reach.
• Air or hydraulic supply to hoist must be regulated to the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure.

directly to the hoist wire.
During manriding operations, care must be exercised to ensure that the person
being lifted is not put at risk of being jammed under any obstructions.
The Company does not mandate the use of secondary fall protection during
manriding operations. However, all client and regulatory requirements must be
complied with.
Hand signals must be used as the primary means of communication for all manriding
operations. If, at any time, hand signals cannot be used as the primary means of
communication, the written THINK Plan for manriding must be reviewed and further
risk assessment performed. Following this review the department supervisor must
re-approve the written THINK Plan.
Manriding operations require a minimum of three trained and competent personnel:

a winch operator, a person suspended in the manriding harness, and a dedicated
person whose sole duties are to watch the person in the riding harness and signal
the winch operator using appropriate hand signals. Radios may be used only as a
means of communication for conveying information concerning the task, not for
signaling the winch operator.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Mechanical Lifting
Manriding underneath the drill floor in the moonpool or cellar deck area using a
winch from the drill floor is prohibited.

4.5 LIFTING EQUIPMENT USED FOR LIFTING PERSONS
Due to the risk of personal injury during lifting of personnel, lifting equipment used
for lifting personnel must be certified for the purpose.
During the THINK Planning stage of all tasks where the lifting of personnel is
required, controls must be utilized to reduce the likelihood of an incident occurring
from people from being crushed, trapped, struck by or falling from the equipment.
“Rescue from Heights” must be part of the THINK plan when lifting of personnel is
involved.
Personnel being lifted must utilize fall protection when working inboard the
installation or from a Spider basket. The use of fall protection equipment is not a
requirement when utilizing a totally enclosed elevator in the derrick, column,
accommodation, and so on.
If access doors are fitted to the carrier they should not open outwards and should be
fitted with a device to prevent inadvertent opening. A means of rescue must be
available on the installation in the event of loss of power or malfunction of the lifting
equipment.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Mechanical Lifting
It is the responsibility of the Crane Operator to verify the weight of each load before
proceeding with offload and backload to supply vessels by:
• Reviewing Cargo Manifest to identify weight of loads,
• Communicate with supply vessel or supervisor on deck to verify the load
being lifted is the correct item listed on the manifest and,
• When initially lifting the load monitor weight indicator to verify weight of load is
as expected, if not load is to be lowered and landed immediately.
Crane Operators must be able to clearly communicate with the handling crew, only
one of which may be designated as the banksman. If the crane operator receives
instructions or signals from more than one person at a time, the crane operator must
interrupt the operation. If the Crane Operator cannot see the banksman at any time
when the load is being moved, he must immediately interrupt the operation and only
resume when he has re-established visual contact with the banksman.
4.8.2 BANKSMAN
The Banksman will have no other duties while so assigned. Banksmen may not
participate in simultaneous operations (for example, supervising the lift while
supervising boat operations alongside the installation). For boat operations it may be
necessary to assign a banksman for the boat as well as a banksman on the
installation.
The designated banksman must be easily identified as such (for example, wearing a
special color vest).
The designated banksman shall not be both banksman and rigger.
It is the banksman’s responsibility to:

• Check the area around the load to be lifted to ensure it is clear and the load is
not attached to the deck, transportation cradle, or adjacent equipment.
• Continuously monitor lifting operations to retain an overview at all times.
• Be aware of any obstructions within the crane’s radius and working area.
• Be aware of potential snagging points in the vicinity of the load while hoisting
and lowering loads by checking above to ensure that the crane’s hoist wire
rope, boom tip, and hook block assembly attachments have a clear
unobstructed passage.

The banksman must not become involved in physically handling lifts. The Crane
Operator must interrupt the operation immediately if this occurs.
Only personnel that have successfully completed a Company approved rigging

practices course may be assigned as a banksman.
4.8.3 CRANE OPERATIONS
Hand signals must be used as the primary means of communication for all crane
signaling. Radios may be used in conjunction with hand signals, but they are
considered secondary. Boom cameras may not be used as a means of
communication.
Hand signals used on all installations must be available and must be understood by
every person involved in crane and lifting operations.
Conditions that may require exclusive reliance on a secondary means of

communication (handheld radios) are:
• Environmental conditions that impact the effectiveness of hand signals.
• Blind lifts associated with rig design. (See HQS-OPS-TIB-461-01 Technical
Information Bulletin for Deck Crane Boom Cameras)
(A crane boom camera can be used as a tool to view the proximity of the lift to
personnel and the surrounding area. Use of the camera for the purpose of
maintaining visual contact with the banksman’s signals or in lieu of a
banksman is prohibited.)
If a secondary means of communication (handheld radios) is used in lieu of hand

signals, a written THINK plan must be conducted by the supervisor responsible for
the operation.
The crane must not be used for operations where the angle indicates that damage
may occur to wires or sheaves.
The crane boom must not be used as a ladder or gangway. Personnel performing
work on the crane boom must always address the hazard of falling.

Switchgear rooms, transformer rooms and bays may not be used for general
storage. The switchgear and floors of these rooms must be kept clear of all materials
and obstructions.
Materials and equipment may be stored in switchgear and transformer rooms

provided they are in purpose made containers and stored in cabinets or on shelving.
Access to electrical switchgear and transformer areas must be restricted to

authorized personnel only.
Appropriate non-conductive mats must be placed in front of switchboards and

transformers. These mats must be maintained in a clean and dry condition.
At least one pair of electrically non-conducting (dielectric) gloves must be available

in each switchgear/ transformer room. These gloves must be inspected per the
manufacturer recommendations and included in the installation’s planned
maintenance system.
Switchgear installed in various spaces must be kept clear of obstructions and

nothing may be stored on top of switchgear.
Flammable materials must not be stored or left in switchgear rooms.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Electrical Safety
Only authorized persons may perform the testing and adjustments of safety devices.
All electrical panels and enclosures containing electrical switchgear must have their
integrity fully intact, e.g. all securing bolts in place, redundant openings and glands
sealed.
Redundant or spare cables must be properly terminated and marked for

identification on both ends, or removed.
All cableways through bulkheads must be properly sealed.
Cable trays must be maintained to fully support the cable installation.
Outlets must be marked to indicate voltage.
4.4 HIGH VOLTAGE
All personnel performing electrical work must be made aware of the special
considerations involved with testing or performing work on high voltage.
High voltage is defined as voltage exceeding 1000VAC or 1500VDC.
No repair work on live high voltage equipment may be performed.
To ensure high voltage systems are dead, testing may only be performed with use of
a live line tester. A suitable risk assessment must be performed prior to this task.
All personnel performing work on high voltage systems must receive training by a
Company approved instructor.
There must be two electrical personnel present while maintenance, testing or repair
work is being performed on high voltage equipment.
When testing of live high voltage equipment must be performed, appropriately rated
equipment with fused leads and probes must be used. High Voltage test equipment
must be inspected prior to use.
To ensure that the risk to personnel is minimized all conductors should be grounded
using grounding devices or leads applied to all points where the circuit or equipment
is isolated from the supply. Additional grounds at the point of work may also be
necessary if this is remote from the point of isolation. Additional grounds should be
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Electrical Safety
applied ONLY after proving the circuit dead at the point of work. This procedure is
essential for high voltage and stored energy equipment (containing capacitors). All
grounding conductors and their connections must be rated for the potential circuit
energy in the event of a failure of precautions.
4.5 ELECTRICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE
4.5.1 RESCUE
A special insulated tool (Shepherd’s Hook) must be available in all

switchgear/transformer rooms for the purpose of removing persons from live
conductors. All relevant personnel must be trained in its use. (See Section 4
Subsection 1.3)
When working on switchgear not located in a designated switchgear/transformer

room, a special insulated rescue tool and one pair of electrically non-conducting
(dielectric) gloves must be made available at the work site.
4.5.2 FIRST AID
The specific procedures for treating persons suffering from electric shock must be
displayed in all switchgear/transformer rooms. All persons engaged in electrical work
must familiarize themselves with these instructions.
If a person suffers an electric shock, carry out the following:

• Switch off current immediately; if not possible, do not waste time searching for
the switch.
• In High Voltage situations DO NOT approach the casualty until the power has
been switched off. Safeguard yourself when removing a casualty from
electrical contact. Stand on non-conducting material (rubber-mat, dry wood,
dry linoleum) considering the level of voltage involved. Use rubber gloves, dry
clothing and a special insulated tool to separate the casualty from contact.
• Call for assistance.
• Check for consciousness, breathing and pulse. If trained, start CPR as
indicated.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Electrical Safety
4.5.3 FIRE FIGHTING
Fire fighting equipment using water or foam must not be used on electrical
apparatus. Extinguishing agents suitable for dealing with fires involving electrical
equipment and switchgear are, in order of preference:
• Carbon Dioxide
• Dry Powder
• Class D type fire extinguishers
Fire fighting appliances containing any one of these agents may be used in the
vicinity of live electrical apparatus provided that safe distances are kept between the
extinguishers and live parts. It is preferable to switch off the current if possible. Since
CO2 can prove toxic in confined spaces, everyone (including the person discharging
the extinguisher) should withdraw immediately.
Note: All nozzle outlets must be of non-conductive construction.
4.6 PERMIT TO WORK
All electrical work in any designated hazardous area or areas in which an explosive
gas mixture is likely to occur in normal operations, requires a Permit to Work.
If, for any particular reason, an electrical apparatus cannot be made dead and is
considered hazardous to life, relevant precautions must be taken and a Permit to
Work must cover the work.
4.7 ISOLATION (SEE SECTION 4 SUBSECTION 5.4)
Before work is carried out on remote or automatically controlled equipment (such as

circuit breakers, motor driven equipment and emergency generators), isolation of
fuses or disconnection of terminals must first render the automatic remote control
feature inoperative.
Before any cable is cut it must be made dead, positively identified and, where
practicable, grounded.
During failure of electrical supply, all apparatus, equipment and conductors must be
regarded as being “live” until isolated and tested.
Electrical apparatus and electrically driven equipment must be made safe from any
electrical source by the opening of the appropriate circuit breakers, fused isolators,
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Electrical Safety
isolators, links or fuses and closing of earth switches or installation of approved

grounds before any work is carried out on it.
All possible back feeds from the low voltage sides of power transformers, voltage
transformers or auxiliary transformers must be isolated.
4.8 BATTERIES
Acid resistant protective clothing must be worn at all times when working with or
immediately near batteries, however minor the work may be. Acid resistant
protective clothing consists of suit, gloves and safety goggles in conjunction with a
face shield.
Only approved insulated tools may be used to connect or disconnect cells. The
insulation on these tools must be in good condition and checked before use. Non-
insulated tools and metal objects must not be used near batteries.
No person working on batteries should work alone.
Before cells can be disconnected, battery chargers must be isolated. Before being
disconnected, fully charged batteries should be allowed to stand at least 12 hours
(24 where possible) after charging has ceased.
When a battery is being charged the potential exists for emission of hydrogen and
oxygen gases. No naked lights should be used or any work done that may produce a
spark near batteries on charge.
All efforts must be made to ventilate battery cabinets before work commences.
Batteries must be disposed of properly (sent ashore for recycling when possible).

HSE Recognition
1 POLICY
Effective HSE performance will be recognized.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to motivate all personnel to take a proactive role in all
HSE efforts.
The Company recognizes that true HSE motivation lies in proactive leadership and a
person's continued well being. Awards are only a part of the recognition process.
The Company strongly supports the HSE efforts of the individuals and teams and
believes that proactive HSE performance should be recognized.
3 SCOPE
4 PROCEDURE
The HSE Recognition Program must be based on a combination of proactive

involvement in the various processes and not just on HSE statistics.
4.1 CORPORATE HSE RECOGNITION
Units, Divisions and installations must be recognized for outstanding HSE

performance. The criteria must be based on the following:
• An effective Performance Monitoring Audit and Assessment process.
• A high degree of compliance to the HSE Management System.
• A proactive approach to apply Company HSE processes.
• An incident rate better than Corporate goal.
• Innovative HSE improvement and corrective ideas.
4.2 UNIT, DIVISION AND INSTALLATION HSE RECOGNITION PROGRAMS

maintaining a high standard of HSE performance.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
HSE Recognition
Each Unit Vice President, Division Manager and Rig Manager must determine the
structure and approval process for the award and recognition system within their
area of responsibility.
The HSE award structure must be based on a combination of the processes by

which HSE results are achieved and not just by the end results themselves. Vice
Presidents and Managers must carefully consider the criteria by which HSE awards
are given, as rewarding individuals and teams on HSE results alone can be
counterproductive and encourages the non-reporting of incidents.
4.3 SUGGESTED HSE AWARD CRITERIA
An effective way to set and track Unit, Division, installation or facility specific
objectives would be to use key performance indicators that could be a combination
of some of the HSE improvement criteria listed below:
• Proactive promotion and use the Platinum Rule, “Treat people as THEY
NEED to be treated.”
• Effective use of leadership skills in the management of people.
• Effective mentoring of co-workers.
• Imparting a sense of HSE excellence in people and making positive
contributions to the HSE culture of the Company.
• Exhibiting a positive HSE attitude.
• Participation and use of THINK Planning Process.
• Participation and use of START Observation and Monitoring Process.
• Effective and timely close out of FOCUS, Corrective and Improvement
Actions.
• Individual or team participation to facilitate effective HSE meetings.

FOCUS Improvement Process
1 POLICY
The FOCUS Improvement Process must be used to Formulate, Organize,

Communicate, Undertake and Summarize corrective and improvement action
points to improve Company performance and capture lessons learned.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide a consistent means of ensuring action points
that add value are completed, Company performance is improved, and lessons
learned made available.
3 SCOPE
4 PROCEDURE
The FOCUS Improvement Process provides a consistent means to improve

Company performance by formulating an action plan, organizing resources to carry
out the plan, communicating the action plan, undertaking the action, summarizing
the results and capturing lessons learned.
See the FOCUS section of the Management System Manual, HQS-CMS-GOV

for a more detailed FOCUS procedure.
4.1 FOCUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS
The FOCUS Improvement Process consists of steps to address improvement and

corrective opportunities.
Change Process.
The FOCUS Improvement Process incorporates a planning and tracking tool

(FOCUS tool) located within the Global Reporting System (GRS) 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.
The feedback from the FOCUS Improvement Process is lessons learned. Use of
GRS enables the Company to capture lessons learned and to make them available.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
The first step in the FOCUS Improvement Process is to determine if the opportunity
is “improvement” or “corrective,” as described in paragraph 4.2, “Sources of Outputs
and Results (Opportunities).”
After determining whether the opportunity is “improvement” or “corrective” the

FOCUS tool within GRS is used to develop the improvement and corrective
opportunity actions.
4.1.1 FORMULATE THE PLAN (THINK)

• Analyze the improvement or corrective opportunity actions required.
• If a corrective opportunity action is required, address the causal factors
(change, condition, action and inaction). Determine if any interim actions are
required as part of the corrective action.
• For corrective opportunity actions, develop plans, identifying effective
solutions and steps to implement the plan. Identify and assess any risks and
determine the necessary controls to safely and effectively support the steps of
the plan.
• For improvement plans, define the steps required to improve performance.
For executing plans, define the steps required to ensure that an expected
level of performance is maintained. Identify and assess any risks and
determine the necessary controls to safely and effectively support the steps of
the plan.
• Assign the priority (high, medium, low) to prioritize the planned actions.
4.1.2 ORGANIZE RESOURCES (THINK)

• Identify the resources required for the successful implementation of the
planned actions. This may involve requesting expertise (knowledge, practice,
skill and approval) and other resources from departments within the Company
such as engineering (REA), technical field support, QHSE, training,
operations, and so on, or outside parties such as clients, vendors, regulatory
agencies or others.
• Determine a target date for completion of the planned actions.
4.1.3 COMMUNICATE THE PLAN (THINK)

• Determine if other parties are affected by the planned actions.
• Identify the responsible person for communicating the planned actions to
parties that may be affected.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
• Define the method the responsible person uses to communicate the planned
actions.
• Responsible person communicates the planned actions to all parties involved
or affected by the proposed changes.
• Submit the plan for approval per established authority limits.
4.1.4 UNDERTAKE THE ACTIONS (START )

• Implement the actions. Monitor, track and recognize changes that may affect
the planned actions.
• Review any delays or alterations to or deviations from the planned actions
and formulate alternative actions as agreed by the affected parties.
• Inform all affected parties of any changes to the planned actions.
• Ensure the successful implementation of the planned actions and inform all
appropriate parties of their completion.
• Submit approval for any extension(s) of the target completion date of the
planned actions.
4.1.5 SUMMARIZE THE RESULTS

• Evaluate the effectiveness of the completed work. Address the original
improvement and/or corrective opportunity to determine if the planned actions
achieved what they were intended to achieve.
• Confirm the completed planned actions do not result in any unforeseen
adverse effects.
• Ensure lessons learned are clearly described based on the review of the
improvement or corrective opportunity actions completed.
• Responsible Person confirms planned actions were completed and
implemented prior to submitting for close out.
• Maintain availability of lessons learned from improvement and corrective
opportunity actions.
• Communicate lessons learned to the Company as required.
• Determine if Company’s performance was improved by the improvement or
corrective actions completed.
4.2 USE OF GRS FOR PLANNING AND TRACKING OPPORTUITIES
Every corrective or improvement opportunity requires an appropriate action. Actions

are carefully planned to ensure they are appropriately applied and effectively
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
managed. Actions are tracked to ensure they are monitored, followed through and
the results are communicated to those who may benefit from the lessons learned.
The decision to use the FOCUS tool is based on the complexity or criticality of the
actions taken and whether the source of opportunity is discretionary or non-
discretionary.
Sources of opportunity include both mandatory and discretionary (optional) sources.
4.2.1 MANDATORY SOURCES OF OPPORTUNITY
Mandatory sources of opportunity are sources that the Company has identified as
being important and/or critical to performance. They require the use of the FOCUS
tool to ensure corrective or improvement actions are effectively planned and tracked
to completion. The following list includes all mandatory sources that require using
the FOCUS tool:
• Company management system, SMART - Implementation Plans
• Performance Monitoring Audit and Assessment - Corrective and Improvement
Actions Plans
• ISM Code, ISPS Code, Client, Flag State and Regulatory Audits - Corrective
and Improvement Actions Plans.
• HSE Alerts, Corporate and Unit – Corrective and Preventive Actions
• HSE Incident Analysis Result – Corrective and Improvement Actions Plans
• Service Quality Appraisals - Corrective and Improvement Actions Plans
• HSE Meetings - Corrective and Improvement Actions Plans (See Note.)
NOTE: The use of the FOCUS planning and tracking tool is not required
in the case of action points originating from HSE Meetings where:
• the emphasis is on tracking actions rather than planning action
• a limited work scope is confined to the location
• the risk has been assessed to be minimal
• the simple approach to Management of Change is used
4.2.2 DISCRETIONARY SOURCES OF OPPORTUNITY
Discretionary sources of opportunity are sources that require managers and

supervisors to decide if the FOCUS tool should be used to ensure corrective or
improvement actions are effectively planned and tracked.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
It is recommended managers and supervisors use the FOCUS tool in the case of
discretionary sources when:
• A complex and/or critical situation or action has been identified.
• Managers and supervisors require a formal review and approval process.
• Significant lessons learned must be captured so they are available to users.
• Actions that require an extended period of time to complete (not related to
maintenance or procurement activities).
NOTE: Regardless of the source of opportunity, when the “enhanced”

approach to management of change is used, the FOCUS tool must be used.
The following list includes examples of discretionary sources where using the
FOCUS tool is optional (these sources are available for selection in the tool):
• Advisory – Operations, Safety
• Alerts – Client, Equipment, Regulatory
• Annual Installation HSE Plan
• Client/Industry Meeting
• Exemption Request
• Feedback Form
• Lesson Learned*

HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Incident Reporting
4.2.2 SEVERITY RATE – SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
Severity Rate is a leading and lagging safety performance indicator.
Severity Rate is derived from the cumulative severity values of a series of incidents
that represents relative changes in severity as a function of time.
There are two types of severity rates, actual and potential.
A. ACTUAL SEVERITY RATE - LAGGING SAFETY PERFORMANCE

INDICATOR
The Actual Severity Rate represents incident severity over a period of time. The
“Actual Severity Rate” represents the sum of all actual severity values assigned to
incidents occurring in the specified time frame. The “Working Hours” represents the
sum of all working man-hours in the specified time frame.
The Actual Severity Rate is calculated using the following equation:
Actual Severity Rate = Actual Severity value sum x 200,000

Working Hours
The Actual Severity Rate is comprised of actual severity values for all categories of
work related personnel injury or illness incidents.
B. POTENTIAL SEVERITY RATE - LEADING SAFETY PERFORMANCE

INDICATOR
The Potential Severity Rate is a representation of incident potential severity over a

period of time. The “Potential Severity Rate” represents the sum of all potential
severity values assigned to incidents occurring in the specified time frame. The
“Working Hours” represents the sum of all working man-hours in the specified time
frame.
The Potential Severity Rate is calculated using the following equation:
Potential Severity Rate = Potential Severity value sum x 200,000

Working Hours
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Incident Reporting
• The Potential Severity Rate is comprised of potential severity values for work
related personnel injury or illness (all categories) and Near Hits and Serious
Near Hits involving potential personnel injury.
4.2.3 SEVERITY CALCULATOR
The severity calculator allows the Rig Manager to assign the severity ratings and
carry out on an ongoing basis the computations that result in the severity rate. The
Rig Manager must maintain the severity calculator within the GRS.
The Rig Manager must use the severity values to determine if an action needs to be
taken.
The Division Manager must ensure that the severity calculator is applied in a
consistent manner.
4.3 INCIDENT ANALYSIS
Incidents indicate where performance can be improved. Incident analysis uses

critical information to establish what happened but, more significantly, determines
how important it is for the Company to act on it. Incident analysis identifies corrective
and improvement opportunities that represent lessons learned which must be
reviewed against the Company Management System for change and/or
improvement.
Each Business Unit must have a specific procedure in place for incident analysis
which takes into account the following factors:
• Location of Business Unit and Division Management’s Incident Fact-Finding
Team
• Availability of specialized expertise
• Regulatory requirements
• Geographical locations
• Transportation infrastructure
• Local customs and cultures
Although the Business Unit Incident Analysis procedure is approved by the Business
Unit Vice President, Corporate QHSE Services (in conjunction with the Business
Unit and Division QHSE Manager) must also review the procedure to ensure it
adequately addresses the following:

Incident Reporting
4.3.1 FACT-FINDING
Designation of the appropriate responsible person for managing the fact-finding step
is determined by the severity value initially assigned by the Rig Manager as it is
applied to the Fact-Finding Table of Responsibilities.
The decision of what resources and personnel are assigned to the fact-finding
process must be based on the areas of expertise required, the level of experience
available, the local environment and the level of direct management involvement
necessary to complete the fact-finding step.
The table below identifies the responsible person for ensuring adequate resources
and trained personnel are assigned to the fact-finding step.
• A – OIM
• B – Rig Manager or Division Manager/Unit Operations Manager

• Business Unit Vice President

• Business Unit QHSE Manager
• Business Unit/Corporate OSA
• Division Manager/Operations Manager
• Division HSE Manager, where applicable
• Rig Manager
• OIM
• Crew supervisor
• Safety representative, where applicable
• Rig Safety Training Coordinator (RSTC), where applicable
Crewmembers may be asked to assist in the fact-finding component of the

investigation.
4.3.2 MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF FACTS
The Management Review of Facts should focus on how to prevent the incident from
happening again and what can be learned from the incident. The Management
Review determines whether corrective and improvement opportunities are needed to
improve safety. Responsibility for ensuring adequate resources for carrying out the
Management Review of Facts is determined by the Division Manager.
Corporate Operations Group conducts the Management Review of Facts for all
fatalities. Business Unit Management may be requested to assist in the fact-finding
step, but the overall responsibility for Management Review of Facts resides with
Corporate Operations Group.
4.3.3 COMMUNICATION OF CORRECTIVE AND IMPROVEMENT

OPPORTUNITIES
Upon completion of the Management Review of Facts, corrective and improvement

opportunities are communicated through line management and, when deemed
appropriate by QHSE Management (Corporate/Business Unit/Division), also by HSE
Alert, HSE Bulletin or HSE Advisory. All Incident Analysis Results are non-
discretionary sources of opportunities and must be entered into the FOCUS tracking
software.

SECTION: 4
Incident Reporting
4.4 STATISTICAL REPORTING
The Monthly Statistics Report consists of two sections:

• Company personnel (including leased labor)
• Company hired subcontractor (catering, project welders, and so on)
Information in each list includes the number of:

• Working hours
• Work-related first aid cases
• Work-related medical treatment cases
• Restricted work cases
• Serious injury cases
• Fatalities
• Serious near hits
This information must be reported for the current month, year to date and the 12-
month rolling recordable rate for all “work related” medical treatment cases,
restricted work cases, serious injury cases and fatalities combined into one figure.
Business Units must report to Corporate any personnel unable to return to work as
the result of a Serious Injury Case, including the actual days the individual is unable
to work in any capacity during the reporting period.
4.4.1 TOTAL RECORDABLE INCIDENT RATE – LAGGING SAFETY

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
To ensure uniformity in computations the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)

must be calculated as follows:
Total Recordable Incident Rate = (MTC + RWC + SIC + FAT) x 200,000

Working Hours
The total recordable incident rate tracked by the Company is year-to-date and a
rolling rate over the previous 12 months. To compute the rolling rate, the (MTC +
RWC + SIC + FAT) and the Working Hour figures in the formula above are the
figures for the previous 12-month period. For example, the rolling rate for the month
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Incident Reporting
ending on March 31, 2003 is the figures from April 1, 2002 through March 31, 2003.
The next report at the end of April is from May 1, 2002 through April 30, 2003.
All incidents used in calculation of the TRIR must be work related.
If an installation moves from one Business Unit to another, the working hours and
incidents (if any) remain with the Business Unit that the installation is departing. The
new Business Unit begins counting working hours (man-hours) when the new
Business Unit assumes control of and responsibility for the installation. The hand
over point for the installation is determined by agreement between the two Business
Units involved.
As an installation moves from one Business Unit to another, the YTD TRIR resets to
zero each time; however the 12-month rolling average is calculated from the past 12
calendar months’ working hours and incidents, regardless of area or location of
operation.
The YTD TRIR and 12-month rolling average are used equally together to evaluate
an installation’s safety performance.
4.4.2 WORKING HOURS
A. INSTALLATION WORKING HOURS
Only installation on-tour working hours are to be counted for computation of

statistics. Installation working hours is defined as hours worked by all Company
personnel and Company hired subcontractor employees assigned to an installation.
The working hours must be tracked separately for Company personnel and
Company hired subcontracted employees.
Transportation to and from the installation and off-tour hours are excluded from the
working hours count.
B. INSTALLATION WORKING HOURS — COMPANY PERSONNEL

(COMPANY EMPLOYEES AND LEASED LABOR)
The working hours and incident data for any “leased laborers” who are under the
direct supervision of the Company must be included with the installation working
hours and incident data for Company personnel. “Leased laborers” are anyone
fulfilling the duties normally undertaken by a Company employee and supplied by
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Incident Reporting
such sources as labor contractors, temporary agencies, leasing companies, or other

labor sources.
Hourly paid Company personnel hours are calculated as the number of hours
reported on the payroll that includes overtime worked.
Salaried/Monthly paid Company personnel who do not have a relief onboard are
calculated as the number of days on the installation times 14 hours per day plus
actual overtime hours worked in any given day.
Salaried/Monthly paid Company personnel that have a relief onboard are calculated
as the number of days on the installation times 12 hours per day plus actual
overtime hours worked in any given day.
To calculate the total installation reported working-hours, add Hourly Company

personnel hours plus Salaried/Monthly Company personnel hours for the calendar
month being reported.
C. INSTALLATION WORKING HOURS — COMPANY HIRED

SUBCONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES
Company Hired Subcontractor employees on a subcontract basis, such as catering

crews, project welders, and so on, are not considered leased labor.
The work hours and incident data for these employees must be included in the
Company Hired Subcontractors Statistics.
Company Hired Subcontractor Employee working hours must be tracked by the

supervisor on the installation or by specific timesheets, as appropriate.
D. ONSHORE ADMINISTRATIVE HOURS
Working hours for personnel working onshore, not including subcontractor labor,
must be reported separately under Administrative Hours.
Hourly/non-exempt (employees who receive overtime) office employee hours are

calculated as the number of hours reported on the payroll, normally eight hours per
day, and any overtime worked.
Salaried/exempt (employees who do not receive overtime) office employee hours

are calculated as the number of days worked per month times eight hours per day.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SECTION: 4
Incident Reporting
If installation personnel are temporarily working in the warehouse or yard area

(onshore) regardless of the reason, their hours and any incidents that occur fall
under that warehouse or yard area’s calculations.
To calculate total Administrative Hours, add hourly/non-exempt office employee

hours, salaried/exempt office employee hours, and the actual hours of warehouse
personnel (not including Subcontractors) and training center personnel.
Hourly Company hired subcontractors employee hours are calculated as the number
of working hours reported on their timesheet.
E. COMPANY TRAINING FACILITY (IF APPLICABLE)
Actual hours of Training Instructors and attendees must be added to the total
Administrative Hours. All training facility hours and any incidents that may occur fall
under the training facility calculations and are added into the administrative statistics.
4.4.3 DAYS UNABLE TO WORK IN ANY CAPACITY
The day of the injury/occupational illness and the day the individual returns to work
are not to be counted as days unable to work. All other days the individual is unable
to work in any capacity as stated on a doctor’s certificate are counted as days
unable to work. For example: An individual is injured on the 22nd day of a 28-day
“hitch” and is unable to return on their next shift, or any subsequent shift. The actual
workdays and field break days will be counted as days unable to work, until a doctor
releases the injured person for work in any capacity.
ANSI Z16.1 must be used to compute days for death, permanent total and
permanent partial disability. (The ANSI Z16.1 definition is: 6,000 days for each
death, permanent total disability and permanent partial disability.)
4.4.4 REPORT FLOW
A. BUSINESS UNIT TO CORPORATE
The Monthly Statistics Report must be prepared and submitted to Corporate HSE
Services to arrive no later than the third business day after the end of the reported
month. With the deployment of GRS Online version 3.x (May 2004), all Monthly
Statistics Reports will be generated from GRS On-Line. It is the responsibility of
each Rig Manager to ensure the HSE performance incurred and reported within
GRS is accurate and meets the requirements for reporting in section 4.1.3 above.

Introduction
The intended purpose of these guidelines is to serve as a reminder of the types of items
that might be addressed during the Fact Finding step. The severity and circumstances of
the incident best determine if fewer or more questions, observations, or documentation are
appropriate. The guidelines help keep you on the right track of documenting just the facts
and avoiding opinions.
The key considerations when completing the Fact Finding step include:
• Keep an open mind and maintain a neutral point of view.
• Remember that you are on a fact-finding mission – report the facts only.
• Do NOT form opinions, find fault, or place blame.
• Do NOT speculate what the causes may have been.
• Do NOT speculate what corrective actions might minimize recurrence.
Interviews
