Version: 30th July 2018

In the last 10 years, 376 people might still be alive

if the Life-Saving Rules had been followed*

From analysis of fatal incidents reported to IOGP (2008-2017)

You are about to watch a short animation that shows a typical work
scenario in any oil and gas business.

Your mission is to spot any unsafe situations.

Watch video – link

• Now, take a moment to write down what you noticed.

• Ok, lets discuss

• What did each of you spot?
• Do you think any of those situations relate to a Life-Saving Rule?
• Did you spot people following a Life-Saving Rule?

5
• We’re going to watch the video again, this time it’ll pause to
highlight scenes where a Life-Saving Rule is relevant.

• Watch reflection video – link

• Did we spot all the situations the video highlighted?

6
• Now let’s re-watch the video, and pause after every situation to
discuss:
• ‘green’ situations – why was that compliant with the Life-Saving Rule
highlighted?
• ‘red’ situations – what would have made that compliant with the Life-Saving
Rule highlighted?
• Re-watch scenes as you much as you want!

• Watch reflection video – link

• Other Life-Saving Rules focus on specific activities, whereas the Rule
‘Line of Fire’ is intended to raise awareness of struck-by and caught-
in-between hazards.
• Thinking about what you watched:
• Could the Rule ‘Line of Fire’ be relevant elsewhere in the video?

• Thinking about your work activities:

• Line of fire hazards are not always obvious or constant and can be introduced as the task
progresses (e.g. underground and overhead powerlines, pipelines, objects under pressure, stored
energy, lines under tension, poorly supported excavations, shifting cargo, moving equipment).
• How can you spot Line of Fire hazards and help each other stay our of the Line of Fire?

We are all authorised to intervene or stop work

STOP if we are in any doubt about the safety of an
activity or we can't follow the Rules
