Presentation Notes

From OTC, ExxonMobil’s further work on the joint data analysis (BST, XOM, RDS & others) did last year on re-thinking the safety pyramid that all cases not being equal. Mining the Diamond is great work and helps demonstrate and pinpoint the behaviors/conditions where we should be focusing. Our new HSE Incident Management System (Odyssey) went live Jan 1, 2012 replacing our FIRST ALERT SYSTEM, across all of BH. One of its key features is the ability to track/report not only our incidents, but the ability to forecast HARM POTENTIAL. While still new and needing to ensure across BH incidents are recorded not as the actual event, but what the event could have been, is a powerful means to help us focus on the right things to eliminate these occurrences. In looking at our Q1 2012 data we find that out of our: 32 Lost Time Injuries, 12 could have been more serious 138 Recordable Injuries, 30 could have been more serious 502 First Aids/Near Misses, 12 could have been more serious. The more serious HARM potential for these incidents centered around: Amputation; Concussion; Crushing; Dislocation; and Fracture. NOTE: Another observation to be aware of from our BH-Wide Pyramid, not necessarily to mention, is our proportion of Near Misses to the rest of the data is low. Typically we should be seeing about 8 – 10 times this number. This will need to be something we’ll need to look more into within BH. We may not be having more Near Misses, but it could mean they’re just not getting reported. Another possibility is that our STOP WORK actions are increasing, so this may be driving Near Misses down.

Baker Hughes DROPS Strategy

Goal : Consistent appreciation and management of DROPS across the Enterprise

4-Focus Areas: 1. Increase awareness on DROPS and DROPS

prevention 2. DROPS focus in Baker Hughes facilities and client

locations 3. DROPS focus as a rig operator 4. DROPS in design and engineering of Baker Hughes

equipment

DROPS as part of our Business

• Gap analysis on Operational Controls on DROPS provisions

• Draft an Enterprise Operational Control on DROPS: – Mandatory requirements for:

• Baker Hughes facilities • Working on client locations • Baker Hughes operated rigs – Dropped Objects Management

Program – Requirements and best practices for DROPS prevention

and management • With references to guidance documents from DROPS Global

and Shell

DROPS Ops Control

• Coverage on: – Material handling and lifting – Storage practices – Housekeeping – Facility – Working at height – Securing against DROPS

• Framework for Dropped Objects Management Program: – Planning : DROPS survey, Mandatory Requirements, MOC – Deployment : Training , Controls, Communications – Review : Program audit, Inspection program – Improvement : Management review of Program

A derrick has many potential dropped objects. It is important that these objects are identified. All potential dropped objects should be reliably secured, regularly checked and maintained and all rig floor operations must adhere to controls established to prevent dropped objects. Multi-Barrier approaches reduce potential risks:

Equipment Barriers Well-Engineered/Designed Equipment (Securing and

secondary retention) Process Barriers

DROPS survey / Hazard & Risk Assessment (HRA) - Dropped object potential recognized

Consistent implementation, inspection & monitoring on dropped objects prevention controls (Zoning, inspection, maintenance, secured tools etc.)

People Barriers Adherence to procedures on dropped objects prevention Competency of personnel STOP WORK Authority

Presentation Notes

An effort to ensure that dropped objects incidents are highlighted to the Baker Hughes community, a series of DROPS Moment like this one here will be used to illustrate how dropped objects incidents can be prevented. We will analyse these incidents by looking at the common Equipment Barriers, Process Barriers, and People Barriers against dropped objects. Incident details: Top Drive Cementing Head (TDCH) was made up and racked back in the derrick. Strong wind and vessel movement were experienced during the time. TDCH stand was racked back in the derrick. This motion in the derrick caused the stand to flex and allowed the blanking plug to come into contact with derrick beam and backed off. 4 days later the blank plug fell from the TDCH injuring a floor man before landing on the drill floor. The blank plug glazed the side of Floor man’s hard hat and hit his right arm at the elbow as it fell. The floor man (non-BHI) suffered bruises and minor laceration wound on his right arm and was given medical treatment by the rig doctor. The black plug was not designed to be reliably secured and this dropped object potential was not identified and no further controls were introduced to prevent the plug from dropping. The blank plug weight is 3.5 kg and fell from approx. 20m height. The Swiss cheese model helps to illustrate the fact that in this case potential harm was not successfully controlled by all the Barriers.
