HSE Induction and ADNOC Policies

HSE Induction Objectives & Expectations

• HSE Induction focuses on understanding safety and environmental issues essential for personnel.
• Key topics include ADNOC Policies, Health, Welfare & Environment, HSE Observation, Intervention, and Accountability.

ADNOC Policies, Vision, Mission & Values

• Vision prioritizes harnessing energy resources for national benefit.
• Mission emphasizes partnership and innovation for high performance and efficiency.
• Values include being Progressive, Collaborative, Respectful, Responsible, and Efficient.

100% HSE Objectives

• Commitment to zero compromises on safety for employees, communities, and the environment.
• Everyone is encouraged to take ownership and stop unsafe operations.
• Continuous learning and sharing of best practices from incidents are emphasized.

Health, Welfare & Environment

• ADNOC Offshore emphasizes occupational health and industrial hygiene to promote employee wellness.
• Environmental impacts minimized through efficient energy use and waste management strategies focused on reduction and recycling.

HSE Observation & Intervention Overview

• The program aims to enhance safety through behavioral-based practices and openness in reporting hazards.
• All personnel are empowered to intervene, stop unsafe practices, and report non-compliance without hesitation.

HSE Accountability & Consequences Assessment

• Reporting unsafe activities is an obligation for all employees; there are known consequences for non-reporting.
• Open reporting culture is supported by management to promote safety compliance.

Step Back 5x5

• A personal planning tool designed to help workers assess immediate hazards.
• Involves taking five steps back and spending five minutes to consider the task and associated hazards.

Dynamic Risk Assessment (DRA)

• Ongoing process of identifying and assessing risks due to changing operational conditions.
• DRA can be informal and is integral to job safety, including practices such as Step Back 5x5.

Hazard Hunt

• Regularly scheduled activities focus on identifying prevalent hazards and mitigating them.
• The program emphasizes awareness of critical conditions, with monthly focus areas related to health and safety.

Situational Awareness

• Encourages regular mental assessments of working environments for potential hazards.
• Includes recognizing environmental risks from weather conditions to stored energy hazards.

Blind Spots

• Acknowledges both physical and mental blind spots that can pose serious threats to safety in the workplace.
• Physical blind spots limit visual awareness, while mental blind spots refer to oversight in recognizing risks.

Common Safety Blind Spots

• Importance of energy isolation during maintenance to prevent accidental machine activation.
• Removal of safety equipment temporarily can lead to heightened risks; requirements for safety equipment must be upheld at all times.### Risk Normalization
• Risk normalization refers to the gradual acceptance of risky conditions or practices over time.
• Signs include inadequate resources, unmaintained equipment, workplace culture that discourages safety discussions, and a lack of understanding of safe procedures.

Causes of Risk Normalization

• Acceptance of unsafe situations due to lack of incidents.
• Shortcuts taken for efficiency or to meet deadlines.
• Poor safety culture leading to conscious disregard for safety protocols.

Prevention of Risk Normalization

• Actively identify hazards and assess potential risks.
• Strict adherence to safe working procedures.
• Promote a culture of communication, honesty, and improvement.
• Empower employees to speak up about unsafe work conditions.
• Conduct regular inspections and prioritize safety training.

Complacency

• Defined as an excessive satisfaction with the status quo, often leading to neglect of potential hazards.
• Common signs include dissatisfaction with work, neglecting safety, frequent rule violations, and lack of intervention.

Complacency Toolbox Talk

• Complacency can lead to dangerous behaviors and underestimation of risks.
• Encourage workers to stay alert and assess hazards continually.
• Key questions to consider include potential changes in the environment, risks involved, and personal safety actions taken.

Contractor’s Care – Hot Line

• Notified work practices and resources to enhance safety.

ADNOC Offshore Green Program

• Designed for Short Service Employees (SSEs) to ensure safe integration into operations.
• SSEs are those with less than six months of experience in the same job type.
• Green Hands have no industry experience while Green Hats are experienced but new to ADNOC Offshore.

Program Objectives and Approach

• Objectives include reinforcing ADNOC's safety culture, familiarizing workers with terms and expectations, and ensuring commitment to HSE.
• Mentorship and job training are crucial for knowledge transfer.

Identification and Integration Process

• SSEs wear green helmets for visual identification.
• Green Hands undergo a 12-week period of on-site training and assessment; initial days are strictly observational.
• Green Hats require a four-week familiarization without assessment.

Responsibilities and Accountability

• Managers ensure all SSEs are integrated and mentored properly.
• Supervisors supervise SSEs, track their progress, and ensure safety compliance.
• Mentors support SSEs through training and provide feedback.

Training and Assessment

• Mandatory HSE training required for SSEs as per ADNOC guidelines.
• Ongoing training assessments must be scheduled, especially during job changes or exposure to new hazards.
• Failure to meet assessment standards necessitates re-training.

100% HSE

• Represents ADNOC's commitment to Health, Safety, and Environmental standards throughout its operations.### HSE Commitment and Training
• Emphasis on enhancing team understanding of Situational Awareness.
• Key discussion platforms include Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Pre-job Toolbox Talks (TBT), and Safety Meetings.
• Focus on the human capability to Observe, Understand, Analyze, and Act within the context of their tasks.
• Campaign Priming Signal should be integrated into daily activities to reinforce awareness.

Key Takeaways for Safety

• Familiarization with ADNOC Standards, Policies, Values, and Pillars is crucial.
• Encourage proactive behavior by becoming a safety leader rather than a bystander.
• Understanding individual responsibilities and expectations is essential.
• Ensure comprehensive communication of potential hazards through JSA.
• Strict adherence to ADNOC Life-Saving Rules is mandatory.
• Conduct Dynamic Risk Assessment (Step Back 5x5) consistently before, during, and after tasks.
• Maintain continuous Situational Awareness to remain vigilant of surroundings.
• Utilize STOP Cards to exercise authority and intervene when necessary.

Assessment Components

• Assessment questions will focus on ADNOC HSE Standards, marine standards, and relevant safety inspections.
• Key topics include:
  • Definitions and compliance of Life-Saving Rules.
  • Application of Step Back 5x5 methodology.
  • Marine standards adherence and incident lessons learned.
  • Knowledge in hazards and interventions, including Hazard Hunt program.
  • Requirements for working at heights and managing H2S risks.
  • Maintenance of Life Saving Appliances (LSA) and Fire-Fighting Appliances (FFA).
  • Understanding marine operational HSE requirements and galley safety.
  • Emphasis on welfare requirements, crew fatigue management, and risk normalization.

Continuous Improvement and Safety Culture

• Regularly reinforce the importance of awareness sessions and safety campaigns within the workforce.
• Promote the display of Situational Awareness and Step Back 5x5 posters in visible locations to keep safety top of mind.
