Offshore Emergency

Best efforts to conduct coordinated Rescue Operations need to be known by all Offshore Workers (personnel, Rescue Teams & others) so that Offshore hazards, risks & emergencies can be prevented, reduced & managed.

Some emergencies that occur Offshore that result in asset damage & loss of life:

- Fire & explosions triggered by gas leaks or equipment failure

- Oil spills into the environment that can cause environmental disasters

- Ship sinking (due to structural failure or storms) or collision (with other ships or other structures)

- Equipment failure that can cause uncontrolled release of oil & gas

- Bad weather: Rain, strong winds, storms & typhoons

- Medical emergencies

Things to remember when an emergency occurs: Preparedness, Response, Rescue & Evacuation!

Offshore Workers should have knowledge about:

- Safety Training that must be carried out regularly to ensure preparedness in dealing with emergencies

- Safety & Emergency Procedures that regulate roles, responsibilities & procedures for various emergencies (including fire) & evacuation

- Effective Communication Systems to coordinate responses between installations, vessels, helicopters & Rescue Teams

- Helicopter Emergency & Helicopter Safety Procedures

- Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET)

- Fire Fighting

- Actions to rescue & evacuate using equipment, vessels, helicopters & others

- Safety Equipment: Lifeboats, TEMPSC, life jackets, fire extinguishers & others

- Self-rescue Techniques

- First Aid & Hypothermia

- Sea Survival

- Efforts to protect the environment

- Applicable regulations: HSE, Offshore Safety, Environmental Protection & others

Safety When Working At Height

Falls are a major cause of injury & death when working at height.

Some strategies to maintain safety & ensure a safer working environment when working at heights:

- Safety & Emergency Procedures have been created & carried out

- Workers undergo regular Safety & Emergency Training so that they have knowledge about the hazards & risks of Working at Height, the Safety & Emergency Procedures, Fall Protection (requirements & types), Fall Arrest Systems, the right Protective Equipment & Rescue Techniques

- Workers have experience working at heights

- Workers must have the skills to take the best action to prevent, reduce & control hazards & emergencies

- "Safety Culture" must always be present when work is carried out to prioritize safety & encourage workers to work safely

- Safety Briefing is given before work begins

- Workers are under supervision when carrying out work

- Equipment used meets the specified standards & is by the work being carried out

- Appropriate Protective & Rescue equipment is used to prevent, reduce & handle hazards & risks: Tools for lifting & lowering people & goods, safety railings installed on edge, safety nets, airbags, safety belts & ropes, tools to hold the body so that the body does not fall, ladders, anchors & others

- Work must be stopped when the weather becomes bad (wind, rain & others) & when an emergency occurs

Learn strategies for working at heights safely by taking the right training.

Offshore Emergency – Before, During And After

Some steps that must be taken “Before, During & After" an Offshore Emergency occurs to ensure safe operations & worker safety:

- Provide regular Safety Training & Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) to workers

- Conduct Safety & Emergency Procedures, including responsibilities, communication, Evacuation Procedures, reporting & others

- Prioritize “Safety Culture” to ensure that all workers can be “Ready” to prevent, reduce & handle emergencies

- Know an important knowledge: Hazards & risks at Offshore Oil & Gas Installations, regulation, Safety Management, Helicopter Safety Procedures, safety equipment (Lifeboat / TEMPSC), fire fighting equipment & techniques (sea survival, first aid & self-rescue)

- Detect, prevent, reduce & handle hazard, risk & emergencies

- Provide & use Safety Equipment: Life-saving devices, fire extinguishers, medical equipment & others

- Detect & respond to emergencies immediately: Sound the alarm, make an Emergency Call to notify the Emergency Response Team & External Emergency Services & handle the emergency

- Escape from a helicopter

- Extinguish the fires

- Conduct the Evacuation Process while counting the number of personnel

- Ensure that all people can be rescued & reach a safe place

- Document the emergency thoroughly

- Investigate & analyze the emergency that has occurred & the Safety Procedures that have been carried out

- Update & improve the Safety Procedures according to the current situation & conditions

By taking these steps, Offshore Operations can be carried out safely!
