Promote the display of Situational Awareness and Step Back 5x5 posters in visible locations to keep safety top of mind.

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).
