Annual Review of HSE Performance - Offshore...
Transcript of Annual Review of HSE Performance - Offshore...
Message from the CEO
Gulf Marine Services is currently the largest Elevating Support Vessel operator in the Middle East supplying a modern fleet of self propelled barges to the oil and gas market which is unrivalled in the region. Our goal is to expand beyond this watershed to become the global jackup operator of choice for oilfield clients focusing on offshore well maintenance, construction and accommodation.
So far this year we have completed the construction of Barge Kudeta the latest addition to the fleet and for 2009 we will see the introduction of a new class of Jack Up barge. This class of barge will be capable of going to 65 meter water depths and will have 250 tons of crane capacity. As well as the expansion in our fleet we have also considerably increased our activities onshore with projects well under way constructing large accommodation modules and outfitting of service barges.
With such aggressive growth comes greater responsibility, to our clients, investors, many existing and new employees as well as to the contractors who work diligently with us. There is also our responsibility to the environment of the world we live in. We have been working hard in 2008 to minimize our impact on the environment, not only through effective management of our offshore units but also through our shore based projects. This year alone we have invested a considerable amount of resource into creating a healthy environment for the workforce in our onshore facilities. Looking further ahead we will be developing an integrated management system for HSE, a large part of which will be aimed at safeguarding our environment.
While the Lost Time Injury frequency rate has marginally increased, this has been mainly due to the recent openness in reporting incidents and a “no blame” culture that has been encouraged throughout our organization. Our aim for the future through implementation of our HSE management systems will be to reduce this rate as far as possible toward zero.
We in GMS are aware of the risks inherent to our industry and will continue to develop and improve the necessary safeguards to protect our employees and the environment.

LOST TIME INJURIES
Lost time injury frequency rate has increased from 0.74 in 2007 to 2.36 in 2008. This was considered to be exceptional for that year. We saw a similar anomaly in 2004 where the LTIF dropped to 1.59. Over the last 6 years however we have been seeing a steady decrease in the LTIFR and our aim is to continue on this path.

FATALITIES
In 2008 we did not have any fatalities at any of our work sites, which we attribute to the enhanced awareness of safe working practices and the overall improvement of our safety culture. Our aim for 2009 and the years to come will be to keep fatalities at zero.

Lost Days
SEVERITY OF INJURIES
Severity rate of injuries is calculated as the
Total number of work days lost x 1,000,000Hours worked
The rate over the past five years has seen a downward trends despite the increase from 2007 to 2008.
LOST DAYS
Comparison of Lost man days due to accidents for the last 7 years. In 2004 while we still suffered from 3 LTI’s the severity of the injuries
were minor compared to 2005 and 2006 where we tended to see injuries taking a longer time to recover from such as a dislocated shoulder, which required one month rest before the Injured person could return to work.

NEAR MISS REPORTING
Throughout 2008 we have offered a number of incentive programs to encourage reporting on our offshore units and yard facilities. These programs have been incredibly successful and have led to a significant increase in the number of reports being submitted.
NEAR MISS REPORTS BY CATEGORY
NEAR MISS REPORT QUANTITY BY LOCATION
Although it may seem like some of the vessels are not reporting this is not the case. We have contractually agreed to participate in client reporting systems on some of our vessels so in this case we do not accumulate all the statistics.

MANAGEMENT VISITS, HSE INSPECTIONS AND INTERNAL AUDITS
Throughout 2008 we have aimed to increase managerial presence on our offshore units and yard facilities. A number of senior management visits have been made offshore and regular site tours have been made in the yard.
HSE Inspections of the vessels have been made at bi annual intervals to help maintain a good standard of practical safety on board. One of our KPI’s for 2008 was to maintain a certain interval of offshore inspections on our vessels. For 2009 our KPI’s will again involve another increase in the amount of visits to vessels offshore whether for inspections, audits or just promoting general HSE Issues.

Safety Man of the Month
Every month during 2008 we awarded GMS employees with a gift for excellence in HSE performance based on criteria such as best near miss report, outstanding HSE awareness or excellent team work. This program will continue in 2009 as it has improved moral and commitment to HSE for all our employees onshore and offshore.

In 2008 we carried out 4 safety awareness campaigns.
1ST QUARTER - SAFE LIFTING CAMPAIGN
For this campaign we hired a specialist trainer from ABS Consulting to visit all of our work sites and conduct training sessions with our employees. We also made a number of fun posters to display safe lifting practices around the work sites.
2008 Campaigns

2ND QUARTER - HEAT STRESS CAMPAIGN
For the heat stress campaign we carried out awareness sessions with our employees to familiarize them with the dangers of working in high temperatures. We also supplied promotional items such as thermos flasks for carrying water and head gear for sun protection.
3RD QUARTER - HOUSKEEPING CAMPAIGN
The housekeeping campaign was kicked off with a company black bag day in our yard where all the employees and managers went out in the yard for the day to collect rubbish and tidy up the work areas.

4TH QUARTER - HSE OBSERVATION REPORTING CAMPAIGN
For the last campaign of the year we endeavored to increase awareness about the importance of reporting any Health Safety or Environmental “occurrences”. This was achieved using incentives such as phone cards and end of month prizes on our vessels and onshore.
During this period we saw a substantial push in the number of report cards being received, often from individuals who were reporting large numbers compared to others reporting none. In 2009 our aim will be to encourage people not so keen on reporting to step forward and raise report cards.

Some of our KPI’s were not achieved this year. Next year we will aim for 100% success rate by making sure the targets while ambitious are achievable.
