15:30 – 16:00 Networking Break & Open Exhibition - Thuraya Lobby

16:00 – 16:30 Special Presentation: Understanding Asset Integrity
Arun Pushkarna, National Drilling Company
The offshore industry frequently neglects to address the safety and integrity of the asset as opposed to the behavioural aspect of HSE. Clearly the sequence of failures of assets over the years bears testimony to the fact that failures do continue and can easily be traced back to a lack of true appreciation of the various aspects of asset integrity. Asset Integrity should address all the aspects for the safe design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, inspection and ultimate decommissioning of an asset. Until that is done the risk of asset failure along with the accompanying risk to people and environment will remain a serious risk for the industry.

Moderator: Wasfi Abdul Hadi Chamat, National Drilling Company
Thuraya Ballroom B&C

Safety Culture: Safety and Productivity: What's in It for Me?
Ian Ward, EDN
This industry has made significant safety performance improvements in recent times. Much of this improvement has been achieved through regulations and systems. To move further we need to have people go about their work because they believe it is the right thing to do – not because they have to. Understanding how to achieve this is critical for leaders. Important insights into proven strategies are provided, that have been used successfully develop effective safety cultures; approaches delegates may choose to use in their organisations as well as personally.

Integration: The Next Evolution in Safety Performance
Teg Matthews, BST
Workplace exposure to injury is influenced by a variety of factors. In order to reduce exposure in a comprehensive and sustainable way, leading organizations are tackling these influential factors by integrating their safety systems with what have traditionally been separate organizational processes. This presentation describes how organizations are building these integrated systems, which organizational processes are included, and the various outcomes of this effort.

Working Condition Improvement through Human Factors Results Application
Mohammad Ebrahimi Ahouei, Global Petro Tech FZCO
The recognition of human factors is important for both health & safety because they can be the cause of serious human errors on the levels of physical behaviour. Using study results for improvement of working conditions and development of tools will facilitate the achievement of reduction of hazards and incidents and will affect operations on the rig. To do this, it is necessary to identify the deficiencies in the human-system interaction of the existing system. After defining the problems there are five different approaches that can be used to implement the solution.

10:00 – 10:30 Networking Break & Open Exhibition - Thuraya Lobby

10:30 – 12:00 Panel Discussion: "Facing the Challenges of a ‘Green Hat’ World"
Moderator: Charlie Mearns, Weatherford
Thuraya Ballroom B&C

The huge growth in drilling activity has resulted in a large number of inexperienced and under-experienced personnel, often seen on the rig floor wearing a distinctive green hardhat. Increasingly, these ‘green hats’ appear not only in entry-level positions but also in supervisory roles. Companies are turning to fast-track programs to build competence but does training replace years of rig site experience? This panel of industry experts will address how their companies are dealing with the challenges of a ‘green hat’ world.

Panelists:
Ron Wilcockson, Middle East Region HSE&OE Manager, Halliburton
Jack Lusk, Supervisor of Quality, Safety & Best Practices Groups, Saudi Aramco
Fahad A. Al-Hamad, Eastern Province Saudi Council of Engineers

Douglas Hamilton, Bill Sims Jr., The Bill Sims Company
The role of recognition as it relates to changing employee behaviour is explored and its focus on identifying unsafe behaviours, attitudes and conditions and replacing them with desirable ones will be presented. What are the most ‘popular’ recognition tools in use today and how effective are they? Mr. Sims will consider the causes of injury hiding and how your company can avoid the ‘bloody pocket’ syndrome. Finally, ways to involve the middle managers in the implementation of your program without overwhelming them with yet another job task will be demonstrated.

14:00 – 15:00 Training & Competency
Moderator: Abdelfattah Hendy, ADCO
Thuraya Ballroom B&C

Competence Assurance
Mustafa Eideh, International Petroleum Centre Abu Dhabi
Managing performance involves much more than setting up a system. The mechanics, targets, indicators, and plans are only a small part of the process and they are easy to deal with in comparison in getting the right focus, leadership, and culture in place. Performance management is a fundamental and critical tool for best practice. It starts with recognising competencies or the skills knowledge and behaviours that make performance effective.

The Road to  ZERO LTI
Medhat Shoukry, Khaled Abdel-Ghani Moussa, ADMA
ADMA-OPCO has just logged more that 517 days LTI free since last LTI in 2007, and determined to continue the same as much as it reaches. This success is based on a strong environment of auditing worksites incident reporting and open feedback between worksite-floor and management; all these as a part of ADMA-OPCO HSE Management System.

CASE: Learn How DONG Energy Has Made Extensive Improvements to Their Emergency Management Plan by Using CrisWare’s Interactive Platform
Troels Munck, CrisWare Egypt Ltd, Bjarne Siir Hansen, Dong Energy
It is crucial that all our engineers are able to handle emergency situations independently of team, shift and individual tasks, says Bjarne Siir, head of security at DONG Energy (Copenhagen, Denmark), Therefore we had to seek a method that can do training and evaluation at a high level on a frequent basis. CrisWare’s interactive platform offers all of the above.

Linking Leadership to the Workforce through EHS: Creating Measurable World-Class Performance
Teg Matthews, BST
Research shows that success in safety tends to generalize to success in other key performance areas. Leaders can leverage this link by “leading with safety” toward a more productive, robust and effective organization. Using case studies, this presentation presents the principles of this approach, the ways in which site-level leadership impacts front-line work practices, the link between safety and other performance measures, and how an individual leader’s practices and style influences performance outcomes.
