                        Moderator: Adrian Gray, Aban Offshore Limited 

A Paradigm Change in Crane Assisted Personnel Transfer
Paul Liberato, BPC Billy Pugh Co.
Contractors and operators alike are taking a new look at crane assisted personnel transfer. Until recently it was taken for granted that heli transfer was the safest and most economical method for moving crews to and from offshore installations. With the advent of a new attitude/culture, better training and the better/new equipment available there is truly a paradigm change occurring in offshore marine transfer.

Engineering Aspects of Fall Protection
Triadi Sutarnoko, Capital Safety Group Asia Pte Ltd
.
Force is a generally misunderstood risk as most workers do not believe that they will generate very much force in a fall. Understand the engineering aspects of Fall Protection, absolutely important to minimize the risk.

Working in the most dangerous industry in the world requires the safest environment possible.  This high-energy presentation will look at three industries that started their performance/safety initiatives for the same tragic reasons decades prior to Piper Alpha, along with how risk assessment in JSA execution can be raised to a higher level; to the TOPGUN standard of combat operations training. Identifiable solutions to affect a culture change dramatically improve the drilling industry while enhancing Operational Excellence is possible!

Ten Characteristics That Distinguish Great Safety Organizations: What Leaders do to Make Them Real
Roger Moore, Behavioral Science Technology
After years of studying organizations that have achieved a level of greatness in safety, we have distilled the ten major characteristics that distinguish them from others—and the leadership behaviors that create them. The traits of great safety organizations and what leaders can do to build them are outlined.

High5 (Hand & Finger Injury Prevention)
John Arcus, Chevron Indonesia Company

HIGH5 is a very useful tool and simple way to implement Stop Work Authority at the job site to reduce the number of hand and finger injuries. To maintain a clear vision of safety, each of us has to mentally practice identifying our own risk behavior. Remember that our future life depends on what we do today!

                        Dropped Objects: Shell’s Perspective
Martin Baltus, Rik de Bruijn, Shell
Dropped objects cause loss of life, injury and or damage to assets. Prevention of dropped objects and even near misses must be a high priority in our communities and industry. Shell has launched a campaign known as Dropped Object Prevention Scheme (DROPS) to eradicate the recurring hazard. The DROPS campaign is set to raise a higher awareness in everyone who works on drilling, completions and well interventions including staff and contractors, by providing the requisite knowledge and skills essential to prevent the occurrence of dropped objects.

E&P Operations – Good for the Environment…..and Getting Better!                
Phil Rae, InTuition Energy Associates
Despite its importance in meeting the energy demands of society, the petroleum industry is often targeted mercilessly by environmental activists and is widely perceived as a major culprit in pollution, environmental degradation and global warming. Yet, much progress has been made on the E&P side to improve processes, eliminate hazardous chemicals and reduce waste. It is imperative, therefore, that the industry engages in a dialogue on this extremely important issue, to provide balance and perspective, if nothing else. Some of these issues are reviewed and a few of the successes and surprises are highlighted as we strive for improvements to safeguard the environment and to assuage public concerns.

15.30-17.00       Safety Management /Training
                        Moderator: Nguyen Minh, Scorpion Offshore

The Relationship between Rig Safety and Maintenance & Integrity Management
Alastair Kerbs, ModuSpec Engineering Asia Pacific
There is a direct relationship between quality of equipment maintenance and safety. 
It becomes clear that to ensure reliability of equipment, maintenance & integrity management must address more than just the OEM recommendations for equipment. In addition, Maintenance and Integrity Management is not just the drilling contractors' responsibility. It is a joint responsibility between the Oil Company, Drilling Contractor and all other parties involved in the drilling of a well.

Skills Shortages, How Mutual Dependency and Entrepreneurialism Can Fill The Gap Left by The Majors
Colin Stuart, Stuart Wright Pte Ltd.
A training case history is described of a graduate training programme for drilling engineers, showing how two independent companies, one an International drilling contractor,  the other an experience based drilling engineering consultancy, combined their unique resources to create a successful ‘ground up’ engineering development programme localized to SE Asia, and outside of major operator funding.

TRAINING: Is Monkey See, Monkey do Enough?
Anton Greeff, ModuSpec Engineering Asia Pacific Ltd.

On a daily basis, the impact of accidents becomes evident due to the lack of training, which can be avoided by educating our personnel and monitoring their development. We have all the questions, why not explore the solutions? The paper will focus on the approach of our employees toward compulsory training and clarifying how to improve the approach from both our employees and employers, enhancing training methods and effectively monitoring development of our employees. How can we greatly increase competence, awareness and reduce incidents, accidents and even cost on the long term.  

17.00                 Adjourn

Unassigned Papers of Note:
The following paper proposals will be included in the conference if a scheduled paper becomes unavailable. In addition, these presentations will be made available in the IADC conference proceedings, should the author so desire.
 

Safety Performance and Operational Excellence - Leadership Practices to Make Them Complimentary, NOT Mutually Exclusive
Jim Winter, Brett Read, Dr. Keith Owen, Safety Leaders Group, Roderick Ritchie, OMV
You often hear from operators and managers that “you can have safety OR you can have production – which one do you want?” Our research categorically disproves this either/or argument. It also proves that a both/and solution is not only possible, but almost certain with the right leadership practices.  Discussion is based on several long term studies in the petro-chemical industry assessing relationships between leadership practices, employee commitment and motivated effort.  We found that employee engagement is a direct result of leadership practices. A description of what an organization needs to do to create those effective leadership practices is given.

Involving the Workforce in Safety Case Development
Neil Holland, Neil Smeaton, Marex Marine and Safety
Safety Cases are large and sometimes complicated documents.  For these reasons it is not hard to understand why it is difficult to get the workforce to give views on the development of a safety case.
The IADC format for safety cases is examined and identifies how it could be put in a more practical format, addressing the need for consultation, and therefore providing a document of greater value to the workforce and their employers, while meeting legislative requirements. Workforce input into safety cases will make them more effective documents with regard to improving safety. 

Risk Management: The Key to Sustaining Incident-Free Operations
Michael Gibson, IDEAS Singapore Pte Ltd.
The Challenges that were faced by the operator and drilling contractor when drilling this particular difficult well are outlined. How key risks involved were addressed, particularly with regards to focus being placed upon maximum safety and consequent zero accidents/incidents. How can the Asia Pacific region benefit from experiences gained elsewhere in the world, so that offshore operations in Asian waters are carried out more efficiently and safely?
 

Drilling Training in the Industry
Mario Nahas, Gulf Technical & Safety Training Centre

How can drilling become an experience in the training industry where there is no compromise in HSE?

Applied Fitness-To-Work
Mohammad Ebrahimi Ahouei, Global Petro Tech FZCO

Fitness-to-work examinations are a way to assess the health of employees in relation to their specific jobs, in order to ensure they could do the job safely. Most of the companies use this tool at the time of application or assignment to a specific job, return-to-work after illness or injury. In GPT, we added a new branch to this, that is, for some specific jobs; personnel's fitness-to-work at defined intervals is checked to confirm their fitness continuity.  To confirm the pre-placement, return-to-work or fitness-continuity-check, according to reported results by a reliable physician, proper decision within six possible judgments, is made.
