A Holistic Approach in Managing Road Transport Safety in Garraf, Iraq

摘要

This paper describes the approach and intervention measures adopted to manage land transport safety, a "Top Risk" identified at Garraf operations with exposure of 309,000 kilometers driven per month in which PETRONAS Carigali Iraq B.V. (PCIHBV) operates. This land transportation management system aim to prevent recurrence of incidents related to road safety, ultimately improving HSE Performance. A structured approach in managing land transport safety based on five (5) key elements, namely 1) HSE Management System, 2) Driver Management, 3) Vehicle Management, 4) Journey Management and 5) Emergency Management, has enabled Garraf Operations to successfully reduce number of road transport incidents by more than 50% over the past 5 years, with zero fatal accidents since 2015. Through the establishment of the Land Transport Safety Workgroup, a site specific Road Transportation Safety Procedure which was based on risk assessments, root cause analysis and industry best practices was developed. This procedure which defines the minimum road safety requirements also enabled fortification of contract requirements, i.e. implementation of in-vehicle monitoring system (IVMS) for all vehicles used for Intercity and Infield mission at Garraf operations covering both armoured and non-armoured. As a result, effective tracking as well as monitoring of driver behavior and vehicle management to provide feedback on improvements was also achieved. Additionally, robust series of training and assessments related to road safety has also been provided to appointed drivers and identified employees to enhance driving skills, whilst inculcating safe driving habits. The abovementioned holistic and self –regulated approach may be adopted and/or referenced when operating in similar work environments, predominantly where insufficient enforcement of road legislation and inadequate awareness on road safety is experienced.
