SafeOP for petroleum and gas – Part B – Self Audit Tool iii

IntroductionThis document is a self audit tool to assist operators in reviewing compliance and mapping their current safety management system against the element of section 675 of the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 (P&G Act).This document complements the more extensive SafeOP Explanatory Guide which provides detail of the content requirements of section 675 of the P&G Act.The P&G Act obligates operators of operating plant to include a number of elements in the safety management plan (SMP) to the extent that they are appropriate for the plant. These are outlined in s.675 of the P&G Act (content requirements for safety management plans), s.388 of the P&G Act (additional content requirements), s.705B (content requirements for principal hazard management plans), and s.59 of the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Regulation 2004 (P&G Reg).

The P&G Act and P&G Reg also impose other obligations that may be audited by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Petroleum and Gas Inspectorate.

This self-audit tool provides a checklist of items that should be addressed for each element required under the legislation (More detailed information about these requirements can be found in SafeOP for petroleum and gas – Part A: Explanatory guide to s.675 Safety Management Plan elements and other legislative requirements at Operating Plant). The extent to which these need to be addressed will vary depending on the type and complexity of the operating plant. The self-audit tool can be used to:

map where the information or process required by a particular element is located in the operator’s SMP or system

identify what is already in place and what still needs to be addressed

determine what evidence exists that the requirement has been met

state why it is inappropriate or unnecessary to address a particular requirement.

The checklist in the self-audit tool is by no means exhaustive and, in many cases, additional items may need to be addressed. The documented is formatted with sections to allow the operator to map the information to their safety management system and make any relevant comments.

Legislative requirement elements for operating plant The legislative requirements that operators may need to address have been divided into 28 elements (numbered from 1 – 26 including 3A and 13A). These can be grouped into three areas:

1. Section 675 safety management plan legislative requirements - The first 22 elements pertain to safety management plan legislative requirements specified in the P&G Act (including element 20, which details four additional sections from the P&G Reg).

2. Other safety legislative obligations - Element 21 deals with other safety legislative obligations outside section 675 relevant to operators of operating plant that may be subject to audit.

3. Coal seam gas regime requirements - Coal seam gas regime additional requirements are detailed in Elements 22 to 26. These elements deal primarily with additional safety management plan requirements, which the SMP must address, with respect to overlapping coal and petroleum tenure. They are intended to ensure that petroleum exploration and production activities do not adversely affect the current and future safe and efficient mining of coal. Principally, these requirements relate to drilling rig type operating plant. Element 26 describes the other legislative obligations associated with the coal seam gas regime.

Note: Elements 1–21 will apply to some degree to most operating plant. However, the specific items to consider under each element will vary depending on the type, complexity and location of the plant.

Elements 22–26 typically apply to drilling related operating plant, particularly plant whose activities may impact on coal seams.

SafeOP for petroleum and gas – Part B – Self Audit Tool 1

A guide to s.675 safety management plan requirements and other legislative obligation elements Each separate requirement (or element) is discussed in detail in the Explanatory Guide (Part A) of SafeOP. This self audit tool (Part B) should be read and used in conjunction with the Explanatory Guide. Some of the guidance offered will clearly not be applicable to certain types of operating plant and at certain stages of the plant. If addressing a particular element is deemed inappropriate, then justification for that judgment will need to be documented. All the elements and where they apply are summarised in the table below.

Self-audit tool and checklistTo assist operators in preparing and auditing their safety management plans, a high level checklist has been prepared along with a self-audit tool, which can be used to ensure that all the legislative requirements have been addressed.

Quick checklist for Safety Management Plans

The following quick reference checklist is provided to assist the operator in ensuring their safety management system or plan meets the legislative requirements.

Item Action Done

Must-haves

1 Is the SMP in place before a defined stage of the operating plant commences?

2Has a commissioning notice been provided as required under s.673A of the P&G Act and in accordance with guidelines? The PDF document is available at: http://mines.industry.qld.gov.au/assets/petroleum-pdf/guide_commissioning_s673a.pdf

3 Is the SMP accessible as required under s.676 of the P&G Act?

4 Have all necessary elements (legislative requirements) been addressed?

for most plant–at least elements 1–17

for a plant within a petroleum authority–also element 18

for MHF related plant–also element 19

for plant drilling near mine workings–also element 20

for plant that may impact on coal mining–also elements 22–26.

5 If the elements are not addressed, is the reason justified in accordance with s.675(2)?

6 If the SMP does not follow s.675 format, is there a document that maps the SMP with the elements in the SafeOP document? Note: This self–audit tool is one means of achieving this.

7 Have all other relevant legislative obligations (element 21) been considered and incorporated where appropriate?

8 Have all statutory positions been identified, and where appropriate, been appointed?

9Is risk assessment and management comprehensive and embedded throughout the safety management system and are the procedures commensurate with the complexity of the plant?

10 Is the plan current and are there processes for it to be kept up to date and to address impacts of change (in complexity and size of plant, new technology, new activities etc.)?

11 Have plant employees been actively involved in the development of the SMP?


Self-audit tool explanatory notesThe self-audit tool provides a checklist of items/matters that should be addressed for each element required under the legislation (as detailed in the SafeOp document). The self-audit tool can be used to:

map where this information or process required by a particular element is located in the systems

determine what evidence exists that the requirement has been met

state why it is inappropriate to address that requirement

identify what is already in place, and what still needs to be addressed.

The extent to which each element and each element item needs to be addressed will vary depending on the operating plant type and its complexity.

The checklist is by no means exhaustive and in many cases additional items may need to be addressed.

Item heading: Against each element item heading the degree of compliance should be noted a Yes/No or Part (Green/Red/Amber) or N/A.

Evidence source/SMP reference: A reference to where the listed item can be found in the SMP or related supporting documentation should be made here.

Where it is an implementation related matter the source of evidence (eg verbally advised by operator/rig manager).

Assessment/Comments: Assessment and comments should be made here in regard to identified deficiencies (part or whole) or strengths or comments could be made on the evidence itself particularly when looking at implementation issues.
