RN03: RISK MANAGEMENT OF MAJOR HAZARDS RELATED TO OFFSHORE ACTIVITIES IN ARCTIC AREAS // Contents of Risk Management SeminarOperational safety conditionA review and monitoring program for operationalsafety condition must cover the human- andorganisational aspects, like; work practice,competence, procedures, communication, workloadetc.A proactive and systematic method to revealnon-compliance with best work practices in differentlevels in the organisation should be implemented.Observations and findings will form a basis fordeveloping risk reducing measures by the operatingunit. The focus is on work practices that could affectthe risk for major accidents.Continuous monitoring of technical integrityStatoil has developed a monitoring programthat gives an “online” overview of the statusof the safety barriers on a plant. The TechnicalIntegrity Management Program (TIMP) shallensure a consistent and systematic manner inwhich to regularly compile and visualise thetechnical condition of equipment, systems, barriers(performance standards), and the overall technicalintegrity of the plant.The status of the technical integrity form thebasis for prioritizing and implementing risk reducingmeasures in cases where there are weaknessesidentified. TIMP provides an overview of thetechnical integrity at the plant by means of:• identifying, documenting, visualising andassessing the risks related to technical integrity• identifying adverse trends/developmentin order to prevent unacceptable riskdue to degradation of integrity• use of common methods for riskassessment to as far as possible ensure aconsistent way of identifying risk level• Presenting gaps in the plant’s integrity so thatthese can be taken into account in the dailyplanning (priority) of activities at the plant.• sharing relevant experiences (thelearning/knowledge that is acquired)from across the plantsThe technical integrity is assessed in terms of effecton both safety and production. Responsible personsare appointed for all relevant indicators for theplant, and data are collected automatically fromdifferent sources in order to make the assessmentprocess easier (sources are for example; backlog onsafety critical equipment, performance test data,dispensations, etc. for the relevant equipment).
