level across a wide range of factors to protect people, the environment, assets
and to avoid loss.
ABC has procedures to systematically identify and evaluate the hazards and
effects that might arise from our activities and from the materials that are used or
encountered in them. The scope of the Risk Management process ranges from
design through to fabrication, installation and operation.
87
HSE MANUAL
People involved in the work must be told about the new procedure or
equipment and risks prior to the work
Work cannot proceed until the change has been re-assessed, approved and
the revised procedures explained to those involved in the task
Examples:
Damaged rigging has required a change in configuration using available rigging
onboard. This change is subject to the full MOC process
An offshore crew has devised an improved methodology for executing a
portion of the work addressed in the procedure. This change is subject to the
full MOC process

HSE MANUAL
Safety representatives/delegates
ABC encourages the participation of all our people in promoting safe working
practices throughout our operations. Forums are held regularly for you and your
colleagues to discuss issues of concern and make proposals to improve HSE
performance.
Worksites nominate worker safety representatives/delegates to act on behalf of
peer groups at HSE meetings. These representatives/delegates are identified
clearly in the work areas. We encourage you to be a safety champion and
volunteer.
Communication
ABC encourages you to bring HSE issues to the attention of any of the following:
Your immediate supervisor
Your worksite manager
A member of the worksite safety committee
An elected safety delegate
90
HSE MANUAL
91
HSE MANUAL
Some examples of when a Time Out for Safety might be called are:
A change of plan, or to pass on urgent information critical to the job in
Management of Change
An unscheduled event, or the emergence of a previously unidentified risk or
hazard
Incomplete understanding of instructions, procedures or ongoing activities
To discuss relevant incidents or near miss, safety alert
A need to ask for help or direction
As a means to focus on a particularly hazardous task or condition
92
HSE MANUAL
All incidents are recorded in the Synergi case database. You may have to
contribute to a report if you are injured or involved in an accident; please
remember, the report should only contain facts (do not include your opinions
or make unsubstantiated claims). The events will be investigated either by the
worksite manager or a special investigative team, depending on the severity of
the event.
Please remember to report all undesired events and injuries promptly.
Near miss incident
This is an event which could have resulted in damage or injury. An incident
actually happened but no damage or injury was sustained. Near miss reporting
is required in order to communicate the lessons learned and prevent future
incidents and accidents.
Damage
Damage to materials, property or equipment, or where harm is caused to the
environment are included in this class. Damage specifically caused by fire or
explosion is also identified.
Injury
Describes events in which people have sustained an injury. Most sites will have
trained First Aiders available. In the case of the larger ships, barges or yards, a
Medic or Doctor will be available on site to treat the injured person. The medic
or doctor will categorise the injury.
Illness
This category is used for reporting illnesses.

HSE MANUAL
Emergency situations
During your worksite induction you will be informed about the alarms used at
your workplace and the specific procedures that you must follow in case of
fire or other emergency situations. When an alarm is raised, stop work, make
your work place safe and go immediately to your designated muster station/
assembly point.
If you discover a fire, raise the alarm immediately. Attempt to extinguish the fire
only if you are familiar with the fire fighting equipment and are sure you will not
endanger your own life.
Ensure that during your induction you learn where to go for medical assistance.
Harmful substances
Every worksite, which uses any chemicals, must:
Review the chemicals, which you use on a regular basis and ensure that you
are familiar with the associated hazards and personal protection measures.
Be familiar with the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the assessments
for the safe use of chemicals.
Follow all instructions related to safe use and storage of chemicals
Understand spill cleanup procedures and know where spill response equipment
is stored.
Prior to using hazardous chemical substances, instructions for their use and
precautions to be taken must be fully understood and when applicable,
identified on the Permit to Work. Detailed information is available to site
management through SYPOL on hazardous substance management.
Lifting operations
Much of Subsea 7s work involves lifting operations using cranes or other lifting
equipment. Subsea 7 has developed very specific rules covering the use and
maintenance of such equipment. Many lifting operations are subject to detailed
planning risk assessment and the implementation of approved lift plans.
Some of the key issues in these rules are:
Never work under a suspended load
You must be adequately trained and authorised before you can operate cranes,
winches, fork lifts, jacks and any other lifting equipment
95
HSE MANUAL
Anyone using lifting equipment and/or rigging must be sure prior to use that it
is fit for purpose, has up to date certification showing that it has successfully
passed a test of its lifting capability. They must also ensure
that they understand and confirm with their supervisor the colour code system
for in-date lifting and rigging equipment
The route for a lift must be clear of people and obstructions
Equipment used for lifting people must be designed and certified and marked
for this purpose
Check that equipment required for lifting people is marked man-riding
Never use a people transfer basket to carry more than the stated number
of people
Ensure that you understand and follow the lift plan
Manual handling
The first consideration: can manual handling be avoided?
All manual handling tasks must be assessed. Stop and think.
Is the task repetitive?
Will it take more than an easy effort to lift it or is it above the limits on the next
page?
Do I have to push or pull?
Does this involve more than one person?
If the answer is yes to any of these, a manual handling assessment should be
carried out to mitigate the risk of injury.
The most effective control to reduce injury or incidents from manual handling is
not to perform the manual handling in the first instance.
Working at height
Working at height should be considered as a last option when deciding how a
work task should be carried out and may require a permit to work. Working at
height should only be undertaken if the task is essential and alternative means of
completing the task have been fully considered. Refer to the Working at Height
Procedure when assessing the work.
96
HSE MANUAL
Working at height can be defined as Any position where the potential exists for
a person to have a fall likely to cause a personal injury.
There is no minimum height where the risks should not be considered and
assessed. We should remember that 60% of serious injuries sustained due to
industrial falls are from a height of less than 2 metres.
The only occasion where a fall protection system may not be used is when a
greater hazard exists after implementing fall protection measures. The residual
risk must then still be assessed as acceptable to carry out the work.
You must receive working at height training before doing tasks that require it.
All scaffolding must be certified and inspected daily by a qualified person.
Dropped objects
Dropped objects have proved to be the third highest cause of fatalities and
serious injuries in the oil and gas industry.
