Barrier Management

Major Hazards …something that can cause a

major accident i.e.

• Multiple (5 or more) serious

injuries or fatalities

• Major damage to the rig or

environment

• Loss of the rig

The focus is not occupational /

personal safety

Major Hazards: Semi-sub

1. Hydrocarbons

a) Shallow gas

b) Hydrocarbons in formation during well operations

c) Hydrocarbons in formation during coiled tubing / wireline operations

d) Hydrocarbons in subsea assets

e) Hydrocarbons during well testing

f) Gas cut mud

2. Flammable / Combustible

Materials

7. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

3. Explosives 8. Vessel Stability

4. Suspended Loads 9. Watertight Integrity

5. Station Keeping 10. Rig Moving

6. Helicopter

Major Accident Hazard Risk

Assessment (MAHRA)

• Two-day MAHRA workshop

• Formal Bowtie review

• One for each Major Hazard

• Confirms the hazards and

the identified barriers in

place to prevent or mitigate

• Risk assessment of the

major accident scenarios

assuming effective barriers

in place

Bowtie Diagrams

The Major Hazard is something

that can cause a major accident

e.g. Flammable Materials

Bowtie Diagrams

The Top Event is the initial loss

of control e.g. Fire

Bowtie Diagrams

Threats can cause the initial loss

of control e.g. Hot Work

Bowtie Diagrams

Preventative Barriers reduce the

likelihood that a loss of control will occur

e.g. Designated Hot Work Area

Bowtie Diagrams

The Consequences describe the

outcome if the loss of control escalates

e.g. asset damage

Bowtie Diagrams

Mitigating Barriers prevent escalation and

reduce the severity of the Consequence

e.g. Fire Detection System

Bowtie Diagrams

Barrier Escalation Factors can cause a

barrier to fail. They are supported by

their own barriers

A Safety Critical Activity is …

… an activity that ensures that major hazard

barriers are implemented, monitored, tested and

verified

Something important done to support a major

hazard barrier

Barge Supervisor Responsibilities

Overview

A Safety Critical Activity (SCA) is an activity for ensuring that major hazard barrier(s) are implemented, monitored,

tested or verified.

The following are the SCAs that the Barge Supervisor is responsible for.

Marine Compliance Procedures (1)

Emergency Management Procedures (2)

World-wide Training Matrix (3)

Rig-specific Emergency Response Plan (4)

HSE Case

Health, Safety and

Environmental (HSE) Case

• Documents the management

of HSE risk on the rig

• Summarizes the MAHRA

process

• Communicates the key barriers

in place to manage major

hazards

• Including the Safety

Critical Activities
