1. Importance of Near Miss Reporting
2. Accident and its types
 TOPICS
• Standard Operating Procedure ( SOP) and its
constituents
• Job Safety Analysis
• Importance of Near Miss
 Standard Operating Procedures
• Step by Step instructions compiled by the Organisation to help
workers to carry out operations
• A Recipe
 Job Safety Analysis
• Very useful management tool for identifying the
hazard potential of any job or process.

• concerned with investigating hazards of a given

job or operation.

• Each step of the job is analyzed with a view to find

out the potential and probable causes of accidents.
 Job Safety Analysis

4 Steps

i) Identify the Task

Task Analysis
ii) Breaking the job down into simple and elementary
steps
iii) Sequence : Listing those steps in a proper and
logical order or sequence
iv) Critical Examination of each step for potential
hazards.
Purpose of JSA

• Determine the hazards potential in the job

• Primary Objective – eliminate identified hazards
• Eliminate the hazardous steps involved in a job

Result :
• Total numbers of steps may be reduced
• Safer Jobs
• Efficient Jobs
Aspects of JSA
• The man
• The method
• The machine
• The material

These four aspects should always be considered.

 Aspects of JSA
➢ The man: The operator, adjacent employees, the supervisor,
other persons who may be responsible for the job

➢ The Method: The working practices and procedures of the job

being analyzed.

➢ The Machine: The machine tools being employed, there may

be several involved at different stages of the job

➢ The Material: The substances and articles, other than the

machine tools employed in the process.
 NEAR MISS
• An unintentional incident that could have caused damage,
injury or death but was narrowly avoided.
• A near miss may be attributed to human error, or might be a
result of faulty safety systems or processes in an organization.
• Near miss events should be investigated, recorded and the
experiences shared to lessen the chances of similar
occurrences.
• Most workplace accidents are preceded by similar near misses
that should act as warnings.
• Thus, reporting of near misses is an established way of
reducing risk in many organizations.

 ACCIDENT
An unplanned event which results in
injury ,damage or property loss.
 Types of Accident
•Fatal accident:
– An accident causing loss of life immediately or subsequent death of a
person.

•Major Accident : Any injury involving:

– Permanent loss or use of any part or section of body
– Permanent loss of sight or hearing
– Permanent physical incapacity
– Fracture of any bone / joint /phalanges of hand or foot.
– Fire ( more than 15 mins)

•Minor accident:
– Accident which do not fall in the category of serious or fatal accidents
and are usually severe in nature. (Such accident involves the enforced
absence of person from work for a period of 72 hrs. or more.)

– Near-Miss should be regarded as a warning that a problem exists and that some
positive action is required

PROCESS HAZARD & CONTROL
MEASURES
 CASE 1 : MAJOR ACCIDENT – HIT BY TUBING
Incident :
On 25/5/2014 in a non rotary work over rig during pulling out of the 2 7/8” tubing,
a single was opened with a manual tong and it was to lay down on the catwalk.
While dragging the tubing it got released from the elevator, It hit the derrick floor
about from 1 meter height and bounced back and fell on the floor, during this
process it hit one person working on the floor hitting his face left eye bone.
He was immediately to the nearest hospital and they informed that there is
fracture on his nose, upper jaw and some of the teeth were broken after CT scan
and x ray. He was then shifted to a city hospital.

Root Cause :
Elevator under use was faulty and not checked before starting the
operation
 CASE 2: FATAL ACCIDENT – HIT BY PIPE WRENCH

INCIDENT :
• This fatal accident happened in 2013 in a WOR while rig crew members
were breaking sucker rod string by placing a pipe wrench spanner and
a lever ( a pipe piece) at a height of 1. 5 m.
• Suddenly one person got stumbled and lost grip of the lever and the
lever also fell down from the wrench spanner, this resulted in backward
rotation of the spanner and hit two rig persons.
• One of them was hit on the back of head and succumbed to death
instantaneously while other got minor injuries.

Root Cause: They used a large diameter lever to breaking the sucker rod
string.
