0.2 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
0.2.1 Purpose of PDO‟s HSE Management System
The purpose of PDO‟s Health, Safety, and Environment Management System is to manage threats, hazards, events, and effects
to health, safety, and the environment in a systematic and structured way. The management of these involves a systematic
process of risk identification, assessment / evaluation, control, monitoring, and recovery where necessary.
The HSE Management System also sets performance standards for managing health, safety, and environment, which will be
assessed and continually improved by a systematic approach to performance monitoring, audits, assessments, and reviews.
0.2.2 Objectives of the HSE Management System Manual – Code of Practice CP-122
The objectives of this HSE Management System Manual or CoP 122 are:
To inform, by providing all employees, contractors, and other relevant stakeholders with a concise, comprehensive, and
structured description of all aspects of PDO‟s HSE Management System. As such, the Manual / CoP describes the
„processes‟ for managing HSE at the corporate level, and within any Asset Team. It also acts as the main reference
framework for the various documents that make up the HSE Management System.
To illustrate the linkages between the HSE Management System and the Business Control Framework used to manage
PDO‟s Asset Teams.
To provide a high level document which systematically addresses achievement of, and alignment to PDO‟s Three HSE
Golden Rules: 1) Comply with the law, standards, and procedures; 2) Intervene in unsafe or non-compliant actions; and 3)
Respect our neighbours.
To provide a high level document which systematically addresses achievement of, and alignment to PDO‟s Life Saving Rules.
To inform and communicate PDO‟s HSE Management System to employees, contractors, and other relevant stakeholders in
a way that is interesting and easy to understand. It does this through color coding each chapter to represent each process
of the HSE Management System and matches the colors on the HSE Management System logo, as well as formatting each
chapter in a standardized way as defined above.
