Major Accident
Hazards ​

We are continually developing our mitigations against major accident hazards. We identify actions and physical interventions which can act as barriers to prevent hazards from developing into accidents or from escalating into major incidents if accidents do occur. Hazards that are managed in this way include the release of hydrocarbons, shallow gas, the release of pressure, working at height, dropped objects, personnel exposure to non-breathable atmospheres, lifting, stability, and vehicle use. Information on barriers to prevent these hazards is included in the materials provided to rig workers. Emergency response operations are practiced every week on our rigs and on an annual basis in our less high-risk locations.

Learning From High
Potential Incidents

Preventing high-potential incidents from dropped objects and lifting operations remains a priority. We focus on learning from incidents and ensure these are communicated and actioned across the organization using our Knowledge Management System (KMS) and Case Action Tracking System. Immediate alerts are published on a tablet – used on rig sites to complete safety tasks including Toolbox Talks and Active Monitoring – to ensure teams are alerted of any incidents occurring on other operations as soon as possible. Building on alerts developed in response to high-potential incidents, we launched a program on rig tablets that presents crews with the most appropriate safety lessons learned from past operations.
