- Gas leaks

- Oil spills

- Medical emergencies

- Equipment failure

- Ship & Helicopter collisions

- Bad & extreme weather

Offshore Emergency Management is the most important thing to:

- Save lives

- Protect the environment

- Protect assets

Offshore Emergency Management is a guideline for doing the following:

- Identify potential hazards & risks

- Create & implement Emergency Procedures & Rescue Procedures

- Establish Evacuation Process: Escape routes, assembly points

- Use PPE, Lifeboats, Life Jackets, Rescue Boats, Helicopters

- Use Communication & Radio Equipment to coordinate with personnel, emergency services, Rescue Teams, Firefighters, Coast Guard, Offshore Medical Teams

- Use high-tech tools to assist Security, Safety & Rescue Procedures: Drones, AI, Sensors

- Provide proper & routine training to Offshore Workers & Offshore Emergency Response Team so they can handle incidents effectively, escape from danger zones & save themselves & others

Hazard And Risk On Offshore Oil And Gas Installations

Safety: Hazard And Risk On Offshore Oil And Gas Installations

Offshore Oil & Gas Installations face a complex set of hazards & risks!

Hazards on Offshore Oil & Gas Installations (Drilling Rigs, Production Platforms & Floating Production Storage & Offloading Units):

- Fire & explosion: Hydrocarbons can burn & gas can cause explosions

- Equipment damage: Pipes, engines, cranes, rigs

- Bad environmental conditions: Lightning, waves, storms, typhoons

- Chemicals & other toxic hazardous substances: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), drilling fluids & others

- Accidents that occur in helicopters & ships

- Other hazardous conditions: Failure in the drilling process, failure in the operation of equipment & machinery, oil spills, emergencies in Confined Spaces

- Human factors: Fatigue due to excessively long working hours

Risks that occur:

- Injury

- Death

- Environmental damage

- Operational disruption

- Economic losses: Time, repairs, costs

- Regulatory & legal obligations: Official parties can stop operations & impose sanctions & fines

To manage these hazards & risks, Offshore Operators & Companies are required to implement Operations, Control, Emergency & Safety Management to ensure the safety of personnel, assets & the environment:

- Comply with regulations made by maritime organizations, HSE organizations & regional bodies

- Create & comply with Safety Protocols: Permit To Work, Emergency Response Procedures, Safety & Survival Protocols

- Provide appropriate PPE: Fire-resistant clothes, masks, fall protection equipment

- Prevent damage, explosions & fires

- Routinely maintain & inspect equipment, machinery, pipes & rigs

- Monitor the environment: Weather, natural disasters

- Use state-of-the-art technology to monitor operations: Remote Monitoring Devices, Drones

- Limit environmental impact: Spill Response Plan & Containment System

The Offshore Operators & Companies must provide the right training for workers too so the workers can:

- Work properly

- Handle equipment & machines

- Identify & handle hazards & risks

- Perform Evacuation Processes
