Plan for the expected, deal with the unexpected
Background
• Scandpower has 30 years experience within risk management and emergency preparedness planning
• Emergency preparedness methodology based on NORSOK requirements and best practice from the offshore and onshore industry
• Risk management service provider to Statoil – the wind contract focuses on offshore and onshore windfarms
The Golden Hour
• The time period of one hour in which the lives of a majority of critically injured trauma patients can be saved if definitive surgical intervention is provided.
• What you do within the golden hour will most probably affect the ability to safe lives
• And from experience; it will most certainly affect your reputation afterwards
NORSOK Z-013Risk and emergency preparedness assessment
• Describes risk and emergency preparedness assessments for offshore and onshore facilities – under the Norwegian PSA rule
• Covers planning and execution of risk and emergency preparedness assessments
• Assessments related to the traditional emergency response phases:
1.Notification 2.Combating 3.Rescue 4.Evacuation Business continuity
Emergency preparedness assessment process
• Identify defined situations of hazards and accident (DSHA’s)– Pre-defined situations in which the plan is scaled upon
• Governing performance requirements– Both regulatory and company specific requirements
• Evaluate the need for specific performance requirements – Means of evacuation (type, location and capacity), equipment
for rescue of personnel, interaction with external resources , standby vessels, equipment for mitigating environmental impact, dimensioning of the emergency preparedness organisation
• Documentation of assessment
Based on usergroup interaction

training
Closing remarks
• Plans are nothing, planning is everything – the process is important to succeed
• A plan without frequent training at all response levels is of not much value• Training could be theoretical exercises (table-tops) or practical sessions -
both at site and in the office• Lessons learned must be documented!
