Sreejith
Why this training?

Major accidents do happen around the world,
some of them recent, have caused us to ask if
they can happen to us and they certainly can!
We need to ensure they do not happen to us by:
Re-emphasising our safety management system;
Updating our existing Field safety Case; and
Ensuring you all know about it!!
Sreejith
What will we learn today?

The difference between occupational/personal and
process safety;
What is a major accident;
What is and what is in an offshore Safety Case;
What are the safety barriers / controls/ systems/
Safety Critical Systems (SCE) that prevent major
accidents;
The part we all must play in preventing major
accidents; and
Test our understanding of what we have learned
through Piper Alpha accident.

Recent Major Accidents in your

offshore Field?
Please include details of major accidents (and near-misses) that occurred in
your installation/s to tell the participants the need for them to be cautious.
Include photographs if you have.
Sreejith
Major Modifications
List down the major modifications (process /
marine) that occurred in your offshore
installation/s in the past 1 year to tell them that
the risk profile has changed:
Examples:
Sreejith
Flare system modifications

Addition of a hydrocarbon process equipment
Change in mooring system
Addition of gas compression facilities
What is a safety case?

Operators of offshore installations want to be
sure that their operations are safe and do not
expose their people or their business to
unacceptable levels of risk;
Plant modifications, variations on operating
conditions and new ownership mean that the risk
picture is changing; and
Regulators and other stakeholders ask you to
justify the continuing operation of the installation
through safety cases.
Sreejith
Corporate HSE Management System

Show your HSEMS through a flow chart or a diagram to
explain how periodic risk assessment/s are done to update
safety case, as part of global sustainability reporting / CSR.

Major Accident
(UK HSE SC Regulations,2005 )
A Major Accident defined by UK HSE is:
A fire, explosion or the release of a dangerous substance
involving death or serious personal injury to persons on the
installation or engaged in an activity or in connection with it;
An event involving major damage to the structure of the
installation or plant affixed thereto or any loss in the stability of
the installation;
The collision of a helicopter with the installation;
The failure of life support systems for diving operations in
connection with the installation; and
Any other event arising from a work activity involving death or
serious personal injury to five or more persons on the installation
or engaged in an activity in connection with it.
Sreejith
Major Accidents
Examples
Deadliest accident so far: 1988 Piper Alpha (167
fatalities);
2nd deadliest: 1980 Alexander L. Kielland
Accommodation rig capsized during a storm (123
fatalities);
3rd deadliest: 1989 Seacrest drillship capsized

individual worker for each occurrence
Personnel injury from:
Slips, trips and falls;

Electrical shocks;
Adverse effects from high noise/heat/dust/fumes;
Minor cuts / bruises; and
Struck-by objects.
Generally OH are avoided by wearing PPEs & following

procedures
Sreejith
Occupational Accidents
Mainly those accidents that can be
controlled by the use of PPEs

Process Safety & Marine Hazards

Process and Marine Safety Hazards
Can give rise to major accidents that can have catastrophic
effects and can result in multiple injuries and fatalities, as
well as substantial economic, property and environmental
damage
Examples of these are:
Fires / Explosions
Helicopter crash
Dropped objects damaging structure or FPSO hull
Un-ignited gas releases
Ship collisions
Riser / pipeline ruptures
Sreejith
Safety Performance OH & PSH

Performance for occupational safety is
measured through (eg.) lost time injuries
(LTI); and
Performance for process safety is
measured process safety equipment
performance, hydrocarbon releases, fires,
etc.

Platform Accident Details

Show the accident & near-miss trends (bar
chart) and discuss cause breakdown (pie-chart)
A graph that shows no particular trend (upward
or downward) could mean:
The HSE is not under control;
The HSE performance / accident data collection /
analysis is not proper;
No one knows what will be the future HSE
performance is!
Sreejith
Major Accidents
Identify major accidents, hi-potential incidents, near-misses;
Discuss each of the major cases from the detail reports to explain:
Causes
Consequences
Risk reduction recommendations
Implementation status
Any similar accidents occurred?
If there are any photos of these accidents, show them.
Sreejith
Causes
Examples
Inadequate planning / organization;
Flaws in PTW procedures;
Written job procedure did not anticipate contributing
factors;
Failure to follow known job procedure (s);
Inadequate training;
Supervisor failure to identify unsafe condition; and
Failure to communicate.
Sreejith
Learning
If no concrete action is taken to rectify the cause of
the incident permanently, it might lead to an accident
next time round History has proven this;
Accidents could happen even with safety barriers in
place;
Personnel play an extremely important role in
promoting safety competency, experience and
knowledge is important; and
We need to ensure that the safety barriers are
maintained so as to control / mitigate accidents.

HAZID: Identify potential hazards
Sectionalisation: Review PFDs, UFDs & P&IDs to separate

the process and utility system to various isolatable
sections.
Causal Analysis: Identify hazardous events associated with accidents
Frequency Analysis and Event Tree Analysis:

Frequency of each accidental event (top
event) and branch probabilities are assigned to
event tree and outcome event frequency are
estimated.
Consequence Modelling: Using the software. The

physical effects and damages for each outcome
event are estimated
Impact Assessment: Analyse the fire and

explosion impact to structures and
equipment.
Risk Assessment
Fatality Estimation: Determine the risk to personnel from each
outcome event.
Risk Summation and Risk Ranking: Sum the risks to individual
from each outcome events for hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon
hazards and identify the dominant risk contributors.
Risk Assessment: Compare the risk levels against Individual Risk
Acceptability Criteria to determine whether additional measures are
necessary to reduce risks to ALARP.
Sreejith
Risk reducing measures: Apply enhanced or

additional control measures and mitigation
measures.

Offshore Safety Cases
pilliai_sreejith@hotmail.com
Sreejith
Learning objectives
To understand the objective of Safety Cases;
To understand The UK HSE Offshore
Installations (Safety Case) Regulations 2005;
To understand the typical SC update triggers;
and
To know the Typical Safety Case contents.
Sreejith
Safety Case-Definition
A documented body of evidence that
provides a convincing and valid argument
that a system is adequately safe for a given
application in a given environment
Safety Case exists for Nuclear, Offshore, Aviation, and Rail industries
Sreejith
Safety Case Origin

(post 1988 Piper Alpha explosion)
UK Offshore Operators, says Cullen, must

adopt this new philosophy on safety,
producing a Safety Case'. This includes
continuous hazard assessment over the
plant's lifetime, fault tree analysis, which
looks at all the ways an error could
develop, and takes account of ways that
'human factors' contribute to disasters
Sreejith
Safety Case Evolution Timeline
Forthwith: Immediate, at once

Lord Cullen recommended that the 4 (FEA, ESSA, EERA,SIGA) be carried out
by the offshore operators immediately before the 1992 safety case regulation
was
released.
Sreejith
Why Offshore Safety Case?

Operators of offshore installations want to be
sure that their operations are safe and do not
expose their people or their business to
unacceptable levels of risk;
Plant modifications, variations on operating
conditions and new ownership mean that the risk
picture is changing; and
Regulators and other stakeholders ask you to
justify the continuing operation of the installation
through safety cases.
Regulatory compliance is essential to your
business
Sreejith
Safety Case
First SC Regulations came into force in
1992;
Cullen Forthwith studies:
A Fire Risk Analysis;
An assessment of the risk of ingress of smoke or
gas into the accommodation;
A review of the ability of emergency systems to
withstand severe accident conditions; and
An evacuation, escape and rescue analysis.
Sreejith
The UK HSE Offshore Installations

(Safety Case) Regulations 2005
Key changes introduced by the 2005 Regulations include:

-The requirement for duty holders to send an early design notification,
instead of a design safety case, to HSE when establishing a new production
installation;
-Duty holders are required to carry out a thorough and fundamental review
of their safety cases at least every five years, or as directed by HSE;
-The present requirement to re-submit safety cases every three years has
been removed (inspectors will be checking to see that safety cases are
being kept up to date through inspection);
-New duties require licensees to ensure anyone they appoint as an operator
is capable of fulfilling their legal responsibilities for safety;
-Combined operations safety cases have been replaced by notifications,
which do not need HSE acceptance; and
-The Offshore Installations (Safety Representatives and Safety Committees)
Regulations have been amended to extend consultation with safety
representatives to reviewing and revising a safety case, as well as preparing
one.

What is wrong at present in oil &

gas industry?
Unacceptable level of process safety related
dangerous occurrences especially in relation to
loss of containment incidents;
Major hazard industry measured safety
performance using LTIs!!
Critical systems deteriorate over time without
warning until they fail catastrophically; and
Audits tend to be too infrequent and workplace
inspections focus on personal safety.

Concept of Safety barriers in major accident control;
and
Role of offshore personnel in ensuring integrity of
safety barriers by monitoring performance

Performance of safety systems to control major
