Introduction

www.safesupervisor.com.au

SSCP aims to improve safety performancein the offshore oil and gas industry over the long termby improving the competence of offshore construction and installation supervisors.

SSCP sets a benchmark for the safety competence of offshore supervisors in our industry.

SSCP delivers a consistent approach to ensuring that supervisors meet this benchmark.

What is SSCP?

Program Mandate

www.safesupervisor.com.au

“Oil and gas industry leaders now require all supervisors working in offshore construction and installation to participate in SSCP and to obtain an SSCP card.”

This mandate is explained in more detail in a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document. The FAQ document is available via the SSCP website: http://safesupervisor.com.au/

SSCP was established to develop and implement a standard of competency for offshore oil and gas construction and installation supervisors. The goal of the program is to address the following important issues within the industry:

• Supervisors are often selected based on technical skills / experience. Not ‘people management’ ability.

• Supervisors are a critical interface whereby ‘onshore’ safety messages / attitudes / culture / values are transferred to ‘offshore workforce’ (and vice versa). They are responsible for delivering ‘consistency in safety expectations’. The industry needs their commitment/support in order to improve safety.

• Safety statistics indicate that the performance of Australian offshore oil and gas construction is not as good as other parts of the world (including Asia).

• Offshore oil and gas construction workforce is typically ‘high turnover’ and constantly changing. Staff regularly change employers. Projects come and go rapidly. A supervisor on one job may become a worker on the next job.

• (Re)training of supervisors for each job / client / employer is expensive.

Why?

www.safesupervisor.com.au

The program applies to all supervisors working in the Australian offshore oil and gas industry.

‘Offshore oil and gas’ means: construction ‘black trades’ (scaffolding, rigging, welding, crane operations, etc). In December 2012, SSCP scope was expanded to include installation: marine, ROV and diving occupations.

‘Supervisor’ means 1-up and 2-up from the worker.

Supervisor Competence Standards:

- Leading and Developing Safe Teams

- Managing Hazards and Risks

- Managing Safety

- Reporting and Investigating Incidents and Initial Emergency

Response

- Understanding and Influencing Safe Behaviours

Supervisor Competence Standards

www.safesupervisor.com.au

• Undertake SSCP training delivered by a Training Organisation licensed to deliver SSCP training and undergo observation in the classroom using SSSCP training observation tools

• Undergo observation in the workplace by a Nominated Assessor who meets SSCP requirements and uses SSCP workplace assessment tools

• Successful candidates are then issued an SSCP card as evidence that they have satisfied the requirements of the program

How To Get Involved

• SSCP currently operates under the auspices of Offshore Project Safe

• In March 2013, SSCP will transition to operating under the auspices of the APPEA, the peak national body representing Australia’s upstream oil and gas exploration and production industry

• It is anticipated that APPEA will work with industry, over time, to expand SSCP to cover all supervisors in Australia’s upstream oil and gas industry
