Minimum and Mandatory HSE Training Program for All Personnel Working in Onshore Oil Operations,Applicability and HR Impact

摘要

In contrast with what is followed for Offshore Oil Operations the majority of the Onshore Oil Operations in the world do not have a Minimum and Mandatory required HSE training program for all personnel including contractors and subcontractors.A comparison is drawn between the Minimum and Mandatory HSE Training Programmes applied offshore in developed areas,mainly North Sea and Gulf of Mexico and the benefits that similar programs can bring to the ME onshore oil operations are addressed by estimating the risk reduction and potential economic benefits.The applicability of such Minimum and Mandatory HSE Training Programs is analyzed against the scenario of heavy utilization of contractors and subcontractors with different approach and standards in HSE training and also the increasing complexity of the onshore oil operations An estimation of how many lives can potentially be saved by the introduction of such programs is provided in global and generic terms.The HR Impact,in different aspects,specifically the ones related to HR Management is analyzed assuming the potential introduction of these mandatory HSE training programs.Specific conclusions and recommendations are issued and the final argument of the need to introduce a Mandatory HSE Card (or passport) to all personnel working in Onshore Oil Operations is put forward as the most effective method to curb the rate of incidents,specially LTI's,Loss Time Injuries and Fatalities.
