Dear All

Based on the incident trend across PDO a companywide stand down has been initiated. In wells we had initiated a stand down early this month due to our HSE performance  and would urge all of you to continue with the same and ensure all your crew have been engaged with. Please focus on having Effective Musta¿ed Engagement prior any task to ensure we identify all the risk before we start the job and if at all we fail we fail safe. Below is the compliance to various Musta¿ed Elements from the incidents that happed this year. Controlling Energy , Checking Equipment , Final checks are the areas where we need to comply more to reduce our incidents.

Engage with your crew , select an incident which happened in your location and see how you could have prevented them with an Effective Musta¿ed Engagement.
