Super Wednesday

Dear All,

Last week we had a high potential Near miss when  a tubing  joint fell from a BX elevator  while being picked up. The floorman was removing the protector from the tubing pin connection at the time and escaped unhurt. The incident is being investigated and more details will be shared. Please ensure that the BX Elevator is fully engaged and monitor it during connection.

In another incident the cherry picker was being  was driven to be parked and on the way it went over a  ditch, which caused the cherry picker to jerk and the person inside the cherry picker basket to loose balance. He was wearing safety harness and secured to the basket. Please ensure that while maneuvering cherry picker on site  , the route is free from any obstacles which can lead to cherry picker being imbalanced.

Musta¿ed

As you can see from the initial findings from the attached HSE flashes few of the Musta¿ed steps were missing which lead to the event happening. It is important that we ask open question for each of these elements so we can have an effective engagement with the crew carrying out the job. In the coming weeks we will be sharing some of the questions you can ask to the crew carrying out the task when you do your Musta¿ed Engagements.

Examples of Questions you can ask during TBT/Planning for each Musta¿ed element :

STEP-1:  Plan    

ASK: Someone to describe the Plan in 3 simple steps

ASK: Explain high level what is in the PTW / JSA / Procedures

ASK: Who are the Barrier Owners for which Barriers?

Hands & Fingers Campaign

Let us continue with the focus on Hands and Finger injury prevention via the campaign we kicked off . By utilizing the attached pack , we request you to continue engagement sessions with the site crews with the aim of arresting the HSE trend and ensuring safe operations. E-CCC Effective learning ¿Hands & Fingers Injuries Prevention Campaign¿ is now updated and 30^th of Sep is put as a deadline for all site engagements verification.

UWA Learning From Assurance

This week¿s Learning from Assurance reflects on recent discussions around Working at Height. Working at Height is one of the most frequent high-risk activities in well engineering operations and recent incidents have highlighted the need to focus on managing the risks when working in the derrick/mast.

The attached PWR provides a high-level summary of the requirements for managing the risks of Working at Height, addressing the procedures, controls (including equipment checks), and recovery/rescue measures. Also attached is a previously issued LFA on the correct use of fall arrestors and in particular using a correctly routed line to prevent any snagging with moving blocks.

The main topics captured includes:

1.       Procedures

• Procedures & JSA to safely manage working at height.
• DROPS requirements.

2.    Equipment Checks
