Offshore Safety Management. Implementing a SEMS Program by Ian Sutton

By Ian Sutton

2010 used to be a defining 12 months for the offshore oil and fuel within the usa. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) floating drilling rig suffered a catastrophic explosion and hearth. 11 males died within the explosion ― 17 others have been injured. the hearth, which burned for an afternoon and a part, finally despatched the complete rig to the ground of the ocean. the level of the spill was once huge, immense, and the environmental harm continues to be being evaluated.

Following DWH the Bureau of Ocean strength administration, rules and Enforcement (BOEMRE) issued many new rules. considered one of them is the protection and Environmental method (SEMS) rule, that's in line with the yankee Petroleum Institute’s SEMP steered perform. businesses need to be in complete compliance with its broad standards by way of November 15, 2011.

• precise clarification of the way to enforce the hot SEMS ordinary for offshore operations.
• Ties the recent laws in with latest safeguard administration techniques aiding managers leverage current procedures and paperwork.
• Written by way of a well-respected authority within the box (quotes from stories: ‘vast expertise’, ‘Ian has insider entry to government pondering that few others have’, ‘Ian is a well-known determine within the method protection and is definitely regarded’).
• CEOs now need to log off on compliance forms, making SEMS implementation whatever you want to get correct first time. Ian Sutton offers the specialist insights you must accomplish that.

Underestimates the level to which behaviour at paintings is stimulated via the layout of the operating atmosphere. Designing for Human Reliability argues that higher know-how of the contribution of layout to human mistakes can considerably improve HSE functionality and enhance go back on funding. Illustrated with many examples, Designing for Human Reliability explores why paintings platforms are designed and carried out such that "design-induced human blunders" turns into more-or-less inevitable.
