Offshore Facilities Audit Results

摘要

Accidents and downgrading incidents are occurring every minute of every hour of every day somewhere in the Offshore Oil Industry.Contrary to popular belief the safety and risk control standards in the industry are unacceptable, and the industry is paying the price with major increases in insurance coverage.The financial costs to the industry in every nation of the world are underestimated because management are unaware of the extent of such losses, due to under reporting, cover ups and there being no desire or requirement to cost out such incidents.This paper will present illustrated case histories from over 250 offshore audits carried out from Canada's east coast and the arctic, the North Sea, Africa, Middle East, Malaysia, China, Korea etc. using the 5 Star Health & Safety Management System (T.M.) (Offshore Module).The average audit result from 1996-1997 concludes that, those audited scored less than 71% and only achieved a two star grading, a sad indictment of the industry.However, those achieving 4 and 5 stars saved millions of dollars in premium reductions.
