Background

History shows that of f shore drilling activities entail the hazard of major accidents with potentially
severe consequences to the lif e and health of workers and pollution of the environment

Main drivers towards barrier management in Maersk Drilling

4 PSA Barrier management day 2020


Implement non-technical barrier elements

The development of
barrier management in
Maersk Drilling was
also driven by the new-
building project of the
XLEs in period
2013/2017.

During the course of


2017, all performance
standards were
developed to also
include non-technical
barrier elements.

The promise: A commitment to minimising the risk of major accidents

Corporate Identif ication of all relevant Major Accident Hazards (MAH) in our
Major Accident operating environment
Prevention
Policy (CMAPP) Use of proven analytical hazard management methodologies to
reduce risk associated with MAH to ALARP

Minimisation of hazardous releases to the environment

Continuous improvement of our saf ety culture and control of


risks of major accidents

Excerpts from the CMAPP

Organisational anchoring

In Maersk Drilling, we believe that the first


step in sustainable implementation of a
successful and well-functioning operational
barrier management framework, is thorough
organisational anchoring and establishment
of purpose and need.

We have, through a very methodical and


structured learning process, ensured that
competencies have been imbedded in the
organisation on different learning levels.

PSA Barrier management day 2020


Controlling the Operational Barriers:
Self-Verification
• Self-verification is a well-proven way of testing and ensuring the right
barriers and the integrity of the barriers are in place while performing safety
critical tasks.
• In addition to this the self-verification provides assurance of the integrity of
operational barrier elements to uphold our barrier elements against major
accident events.
• Self-verification is a key element in ensuring that Maersk Drilling's
Management System is understood and followed and that gaps in our
procedures are identified and rectified.
• Self-verification engages front line leaders in verifying compliance, testing
understanding of our management system, coaching the gaps, and in
recognising and reinforcing the right behaviours.

Verifying barrier integrity during daily Ops meeting

1. OCL is delegated in turns to meeting participants


2. The Delegate ensures that topics in OCL are covered during the
meeting
3. After the safety discussion the Delegate sums up on issues from
discussion which are relevant in relation to pt.1
4. During the meeting when upcoming activities are discussed the
Delegate asks questions to ensure all barrier elements are discussed
5. At the end of the meeting, there must be a sum up on overall barrier
integrity using the Barrier Strength Indicator (BSI)
6. Agreed SV’s and other instructions to task leaders are communicated
via the permit.
7. It has been assured that the overall barrier integrity has not been
compromised by any of the planned activities for the next 24 hours
(both activities covered by a PTW and activities outside PTW)

PSA Barrier management day 2020


Evaluate and communicate barrier status - Barrier Strength Indicator (BSI)

Purpose
• Summary of identified weakened barrier elements and
their mitigations, including risk assessments
• To support offshore management in forming a mutual
overview of barrier integrity on board
• Support overall Barrier Management discussions during
daily planning meeting
• Help assess which activities onboard affect barrier
functions
• Help offshore management communicate barrier status

Assessment scale guide:

Safety as Capacity = BM + human factors

Safety is not the absense of events – it is the presence of capacity.


Capacity is our ability to manage the unexpected without consequence.
