CODE OF PRACTICE (CP-122)
PDO HSE Management System Manual
6. IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION
6.1 OVERVIEW
An important outcome of HEMP is identifying the critical activities that must be implemented if PDO is to adequately manage
HSE risks. These are essentially the risk controls – the activities we do day-to-day in the Implementation and Operation process.
Effective implementation and operation of these activities involves:
Ensuring, that from the Hazard and Effects Management Process, the proper risk controls are defined and determined to be
suitable, adequate, and effective for implementation.
Ensuring, where required, that these controls are documented as PDO codes of practice, procedures, specifications, work
instructions, and/or guidelines.
Setting performance standards, both managerial and technical, to clearly describe how HSE risk management is achieved
and what the required deliverables are.
Ensuring the active involvement and understanding of contractors in the implementation process, since they conduct and/or
are involved in a majority of the work activities that are carried out at PDO.
Drawing on the other processes of the HSE MS and in the organisation to support and assure proper implementation and
operation, such as training and competence assurance processes, effective planning, PDO leadership, consultation and
communication, monitoring of implementation activities, application of DCAF, etc. At the end of the day, “DO” is the critical
word!
This process focuses on and describes how HSE Critical Activities are to be performed, and what the expected and required
deliverables are. It does so, taking into account the points listed above.
6.2 REQUIREMENTS
Full implementation and operation of the HSE Management System means that people are doing what the Management System
says they should be doing, at all levels of the organisation. Successful implementation and operation requires embedding HSE
into:
Company Culture,
Having Clear Responsibilities, and
Ensuring Line Ownership.
Successful implementation of the HSE Management System requires that it be
viewed as part of the way we do things at PDO in order to ensure safe
production. HSE is an integral part of our work. It is not an „add-on.‟ Process
4, the Hazards and Effects Management Process, is one of the key ways PDO
formally embeds HSE into the business by taking a risk-based approach to
HSE management. This risk-based approach ensures that we perform our
activities „the right way‟ – this includes the safe way, the productive way, the
healthy way, the environmental way, and the quality way. In so doing, over
time, a proactive and positive culture and appreciation develops for HSE in
PDO.
