Fire

When a fire occurs, some things to watch out for are:

- Smoke that carries heat & toxic gases & blurs vision

- Reduced Oxygen

- Temperature becomes high/hot

- Presence of harmful toxins (toxic dust, radiation & others)

Not all fires can be extinguished with water because:

- Boiling water will make the fire bigger

- Some chemical products react with water & produce a toxic gas which will cause & enlarge fire

- Fires that occur in hydrocarbons, gasoline, oil, alcohol & others occur on the water

- Fires in some facilities, such as tanks, will enlarge when extinguished with water because water sprayed into the tank will damage the tank & exacerbate the fire

- Fires in electricity cannot be extinguished with water because water can act as a conductor

If you cannot use water to extinguish a fire:

- Foam will be used as a big fire extinguisher

- Fire Blanket will be used as a small fire extinguisher

Effective advice for homeowners: Have & keep some Fire Blankets at home. Fire Blankets can be used to extinguish fires by placing a fire blanket over burning objects, such as Pans & Small Stoves. When the Pans & Small Stoves are covered with the Fire Blankets, the oxygen flow to the fire can be removed & the fire will be extinguished.

Best advice for building & closed location owners: Have Ventilation that can isolate fire & draw fire from trapped objects. The Ventilation can channel fire to nearby openings & push smoke & heat out of the building, so Firefighters can extinguish fires safely & limit damage from smoke, heat & water.

Accident Reporting And Investigation

Things to do when an accident occurs in the workplace:

- Closing & securing the accident site/location by limiting access to the scene to avoid secondary accidents

- Equipment & materials involved in the accident must be secured

- First Aid must be carried out immediately by appointed & trained staff

- Actions to save the victims must be taken immediately, including by bringing in Medical Officers & providing proper Medical Treatment

- Site Supervisors & Rescue Teams who carry out rescue actions must coordinate & communicate with the management

- The company must deal with the stress & emotional disturbance that occurs to the victims

- The company must investigate the accident

- The company must make Accident Report

- The company must report accidents that occur to the right party

- The company must also carry out a “Back to Work Program” in which the company seeks to ensure that employees who are the victims can return to work so that they do not experience further stress & trauma

When the investigation process is carried out, several things must be done are:

- Reviewing the causes of the accidents

- Assessing the injuries that occurred to the victims

- Collecting evidence

- Interviewing witnesses

- Taking photos

- Making reports on accidents, victims, injuries, losses & more

- The company must ensure that the report is accurate & honest

Important Note:

- Accident Reports can be used as the basis of a Plan/Program to Handle Injury & Accidents

- If the company does not make an Accident Report, then the loss will occur because the company has to pay fines besides paying insurance costs, medical treatment costs & wage replacement costs

All of the above can save the company & its employees from other accidents.

Well Intervention

All wells & their spare parts in the Oil & Gas Industry will require maintenance, repair & replacement. It is at this time that the Well Intervention will begin.

Well Intervention falls into two categories:

- Light Intervention: Technician lowers tool/sensor into the live well when pressure is retained at the surface. Well Service Officers perform the Light Interventions using Slickline, Wireline, or Coiled Pipe. This system allows the Operator to avoid blockages in the well. The Light Intervention also modifies/adapts Downhole Equipment (valves & pumps) & to collect data on downhole pressure, temperature & flow.

- Heavy Intervention: Rig Crew can stop production in formation before making major equipment changes. The Heavy Intervention requires Rig Crew to remove the wellhead & other pressure barriers from the well for full access to the wellbore. This operation requires a Rig to remove & reinstall the wellhead & finishing equipment. The Heavy Intervention is carried out to replace spare parts (pipeline & pump) & to close & leave the original production zone to reconfigure the well to produce from the secondary zone.

Helicopters must always be able to land at Offshore facilities safely. The person who can ensure the Helicopter landing process is carried out safely & accurately is the Helideck Landing Officer (HLO). The HLOs must have the ability to:

- Act by the Emergency Procedure Manual that has been determined by the company operating at the Offshore Installation

- Perform Safety Procedures on Helideck

- Handle the safety of everyone on the Helideck

- Control the Flight & Landing Process

- Ensure that the Helicopter can fly from & land on the Helideck safely by providing proper guidance, one of which is by giving the signals using their hands

- Handle dangerous items

- Handle fires on Helicopters & Helideck

While working, the HLOs must use:

- Vest with HLO letters printed on the back & front which must be visible to Pilots & other personnel

- Helmet that will protect the head from emergencies, especially from the propellers on the Helicopter

Helideck

Traveling by Helicopter is one of the most dangerous parts experienced by Offshore workers, especially when landing on Helideck.

Fire & explosion may occur at the Helideck which is located Offshore when the emergencies occur:

- Helicopter lands in a less than perfect take-off area

- Helicopter crashes into other Helicopters, items & more on the Helideck

- Helicopter crashed into the Helideck when the Pilot fails to fly the Helicopter

- Engine on the Helicopter is damaged

- Presence of gas & wind that interferes with the Helicopter & Pilot

- Helicopter is old & no longer fit to operate

A few things to do to reduce the emergencies occurring at Helideck:

- Using Helicopter & Helideck Monitoring Equipment, one of which is to monitor vibration & noise

- Using the new Helicopter with the more reliable design, control & operating system

- Using the Helicopter that is still feasible to operate & has a lower noise & vibration level

- Improving communication between Pilots & personnel at the Helideck

- Maintaining Helideck & various other things (Helicopters, items & more) properly

- Monitoring & maintaining the health of Pilots, Co-Pilots, personnel in Helideck & others

- Providing proper education & training to Pilots, Co-Pilots, personnel at Helideck & others
