Current Role Of Drones




The latest amazing things that sophisticated Drones can do :-)

Drones have become a reliable and versatile tool because they can:
- Monitor conditions
- Inspect material characteristics
- Collect and calculate data
- Measure the dimensions of objects
- Control measurements

Using Drones can do all of the above digitally and automatically!

Some additional tools on the Drone can also:
- Be placed above, in front, or below the Drone
- Be formed according to needs

Currently, the role of Drones in various industries:
- Oil and Gas Industry: Checking corrosion in pipes, tanks and offshore structures
- Transportation Industry: Checking the suitability of cargo tanks, oil tanks, and their components
- Construction Industry: Checking for defects in concrete, steel and welded structures
- Manufacturing Industry: Checking the quality of engine components, pipes and tanks
- Energy Industry: Checking the suitability of transmission towers and their components

With all their sophistication, Drones can:
- Save time
- Save cost
- Carry out work precisely, quickly, safely, easily and efficiently

Safety When Working At Height




When working at heights, there are several common dangers that we must be aware of:
- Falls from heights are a major cause of death and injury
- Unstable and slippery surfaces can cause slips and falls
- Lack of inadequate edge protection
- Objects falling from a height
- Collapse of scaffolding
- Damage that occurs to Lifting Equipment
- Bad weather conditions can affect stability and visibility
- Lack of proper training

Warning: Even a fall from a relatively low height, such as a ladder or rooftop, can result in serious injury!

Some steps to take to reduce risk and increase security when working at heights (buildings, stairs, bridges, etc.):
- Make a Safety Procedure
- Take the right training, and the certificate should state that we are allowed to work at heights
- Do the right preparation: Assess the work location, identify potential hazards, check weather conditions (strong wind, rain, snow), ensure security and cleanliness at the work site
- Ensure stable position
- Use the correct PPE that fulfills the Safety Standard
- Place the Rescue Team at the work site
- Communicate with all workers and all parties at the work site
- Follow the Safety Procedures
- Have the ability to protect ourselves from falls and identify hazards
- Make sure to fall safely

Some equipment that can protect us from emergencies when working at height:
- PPE
- Helmet
- Safety glasses
- Anti-slip boots
- Rope
- Connector
- Fall support/protection device
- Fall protection equipment
- Guardrails/barriers
- Safety nets

Prioritize our safety – the most important thing – when working at heights! Implementing control measures can significantly reduce these risks and create a safer work environment.

Emergency In Building And Floor Warden




Emergencies can occur in the building!

Some things to do when an emergency occurs in a building:
- Provide information about dangerous conditions and who is still in the building to the Building Coordinator
- Direct occupants to carry out the Evacuation Process by leaving the scene via the nearest emergency exit and evacuation route
- Prevent individuals from using elevators during evacuation
- Guide individuals to designated gathering areas
- Extinguish the fire if a fire occurs
- Prevent individuals from re-entering the building until conditions are deemed safe
- Providing first aid to victims who need it
- Ensure that Emergency and Safety Procedures are carried out

The above things are usually done by the Floor / Fire Warden.

Who Is the Floor Warden / Fire Warden?

A Floor Warden, also sometimes called a Fire Warden, is someone responsible for the safety of a specific area, typically a floor in a building, during an emergency. They are especially important in fire emergencies but may also be involved in other situations like floods or medical emergencies. They are the first line of defense in an evacuation and their calm leadership can make a big difference.

Here are some of the key things Floor Wardens do:

* Before an emergency:
- Floor Wardens should be familiar with the Emergency Evacuation Plan for their building and their specific floor
- Floor Wardens should also know the location of fire exits, fire extinguishers, and first-aid kits
- Floor Wardens should be responsible for helping to keep exits clear
- Floor Wardens should educate occupants on Safety Procedures

* During an emergency:
- When an emergency alarm sounds, Floor Wardens are responsible for ensuring that everyone on their floor conducts the Evacuation Process safely
- Floor Wardens should help people with disabilities
- Floor Wardens should make sure everyone knows where to go
- Floor Wardens should do a headcount to ensure no one is left behind
- Floor Wardens should keep people safe during emergencies
- Floor Wardens should report the status of the evacuation to a designated leader

The knowledge the Floor Wardens should know:
- Basic HSE related to fire prevention in the building
- Fire theory and anatomy
- Flammable/explosive materials in the building
- Common fire hazards in the building
- Precautionary principle
- Basic use of fire extinguishers
- Fire extinguishing techniques
- Passive and Active Protection Systems
- Evacuation Process: Exits, corridors, stairs, helipad, muster points
- Actions to take during earthquakes, bomb threats, and flood events

Are you ready to work as the Floor Warden?

Plug And Abandonment In Drilling




The "Plug and Abandonment / P&A" Process refers to the temporary and permanent process to close the oil and gas wells.

The difference between temporary and permanent P&A Process:

Temporary P&A Process:
- Occurs when there is an intention to re-enter the well at a later date (usually within months) or is done for maintenance or other reasons
- The temporary P&A Process is carried out by closing the well and removing the well control equipment. Pressure monitoring at the wellhead remains possible during this period.

Permanent P&A Process:
- Occurs when there is no intention to re-enter the well hole, the well must be abandoned forever because the well is no longer productive and is no longer economically viable
- The permanent P&A Process is performed by installing a barrier (such as a cement plug) to isolate the formations from each other and the surface, and the well control equipment is permanently removed

Some other important things to do:
- Before starting the P&A Process, the well must be thoroughly evaluated
- Proper cement must be used to restore the well to its original condition
- The above process must comply with ongoing Safety and Environmental Regulations

The above procedures may vary based on company policy and specific well conditions.

The knowledge needed to conduct the P&A Process:
- Human factors
- Well abandonment integrity
- Governing principles, techniques, and processes of well abandonment
- Risks and their issues
- Principles of well barriers
- Principles of barrier verification and testing
- Local legislative procedures
- Mitigation
