WHY RISK MANAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT TO
PETROLEUM INDUSTRY EMPLOYEES
● Mobile workforce with an ever changing environment
● High degree of demand on getting the job done
● Must have a team effort to make the workflow process seamless
● All employees are required to multitask
● Constantly thinking on the move, must be able to keep up with a rapidly changing environment
Workers in our industry are surrounded by heavy machinery that can kill or maim in an instant. About half the workers who die are struck by equipment ( WHY ? Was equipment properly secured, were machines being used as designed? Was there a lack of training? ) or are killed in motor vehicle accidents. ( Are we as safety leaders pushing a positive defensive driving culture? Are proper decisive actions taken immediately upon violators? ) Others fall from catwalks,( Was fall protection available and being used properly ?) are crushed by falling loads, burned in explosions or become tangled in chains and cables. ( Was any type of Risk Management Being Promoted in the Company Culture, and was it being supervised ? )
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
RISK MANAGEMENT- Risk management is a Five step process used to ID and control hazards to protect the work force. It is a continuous on-going process that begins with the receipt of job or task and is applicable to any situation and environment.
RISK ASSESSMENT- Risk assessment is the identification and assessment of hazards
HAZARD- Any actual or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death of personnel;damage to or loss of equipment or property.
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
TERMS AND DEFINITIONSRISK The probability of exposure to injury or loss from hazard. Risk level is expressed in terms of hazard probability and severity.
Accident risk - Includes all operational risk considerations, and can include activities associated with hazards concerning personnel, equipment, readiness, and environmental conditions.
TERMS AND DEFINITIONSPROBABILITY- The likelihood that an event will occur.
There are five degrees of probability:
Frequent Likely Occasional Seldom Unlikely SEVERITY- The degree of injury, property damage, or other mission impairing factors.
There are four degrees of severity.
Catastrophic Critical Marginal Negligible
DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF PROBABILITY
PROBABILITY - The likelihood that an event will occur. Determine what is the chance or likelihood of the event occurring? There are five degrees of probability:
- Frequent - Occurs often, continuously experienced.
- Likely - Occurs several times.
- Occasional - Occurs sporadically.
- Seldom - Remotely possible: could occur at some time.
- Unlikely -Can assume it will not occur, but not impossible.
DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF SEVERITY
SEVERITY- The degree of injury, property damage. There are four degrees of severity.
- Catastrophic - Loss of ability to accomplish the job or task. Death or permanent total disability, equipment loss, or major property damage.
- Critical - Significantly degraded job performance capability or team readiness. Permanent partial disability, temporary total disability in excess of three months, major equipment damage, or significant property damage.
- Marginal - Degraded job performance capability or team readiness. Minor injury, lost workday accident, minor equipment damage, and minor property damage.
- Negligible - Little or no adverse impact on job performance capability. First aid or minor medical treatment, minor equipment impairment.
RISK LEVEL- Expressed in terms of hazard probability and severity. There are four levels of risk.
- Extremely High Risk (E) - Loss of ability to accomplish the job or task.
- High (H) - Significantly degrades job performance capabilities in terms of required job standards.
- Moderate (M) - Degrades job performance capabilities in terms of required job standards.
- Low (L) – Little to no impact on accomplishment of job or task.
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
CONTROLS- Controls are actions taken to eliminate the hazard or reduce their risk. Controls may take many forms, but fall basically into three categories:
Elimination - Take steps to completely eliminate the hazard
- Educational Controls - These controls are based on the knowledge and skills of the teams and employees.
- Physical Controls - These controls may take the form of barriers and guards or signs to warn individuals and teams that a hazard exists.
-Avoidance - The control is applied by taking positive action to
eliminate the presence of an identified hazard.
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
RESIDUAL RISK- Residual risk is the level of risk remaining after controls have been selected for hazards (Controls are identified and selected until residual risk is at an acceptable level or it cannot be practically reduced further). HOT WORK PERMIT, CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT, SSE MENTOR
RISK DECISION- The decision whether to accept or not to accept the level of residual risk
RISK MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
1. Integrate risk management into job
planning, preparation, and execution.
2. Make risk decisions at the appropriate level .
3. Accept no unnecessary risk.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESSStep 1 - Identify the hazards
Step 2 - Assess the hazards
Step 3 - Develop Controls and make risk decision
Step 4 - Implement controls
Step 5 - Supervise and evaluate RiskManagement

( OBLIGATED TO STOP UNSAFE WORK )
-RISK MANAGEMENT TRAINING ( BJSA ) ( BBSP) ( STOP CARD) (PRE-TRIP INSPECTION), ETC.
-DEFENSIVE DRIVING TRAINING
-MEDIC FIRST AID TRAINING
-FORK LIFT CERTIFICATION
-TRUCK CRANE CERTIFICATION
-CONFINED SPACE TRAINING
-WATER SURVIVAL
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY TOOLS WE AS SAFETY LEADERS MUST ENSURE THAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE SUPPLIED WITH TO ENSURE A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT.
CONCLUSIONEmployees must identify hazards and thenimplement measures to reduce or Eliminate the risks. We must teach and Mentor our employees that this process canBe done on the move, it does NOT ALWAYS have to be written out to work effectively. THINK – SLOW DOWN – GET ASSISTANCEThis is how we protect the work force and increase job and task accomplishment while working Toward our Goal of Zero Incidents.
SummaryThe Risk Management process is an essential tool in our ability to reduce the threat to our employees in daily operations.
