We put Safety and Environment First

Why To Implement Safety Rules?
 Number of incidents and severity are increasing;
 We recognized the need to identify the significant risks in our areas of operations;
 Historical data reveals that 83% of threats associated with fatalities were related to
human factors;
 Rule-based errors were increasing;
 Need to focus on behavior safety;
 The requirement of simple, clear and direct communication to staffs especially to

supervisors and managers to understand these hazards that are most likely to
contribute to fatal incidents.
How To Implement Safety Rules?
 Comparative study on the ‘Safety Rules’ of organizations from Oil & Gas Producers
(OGP) – Benchmarking:
 Utilizing the statistics and resources from the workshop conducted by Oil and Gas
Producers association (OGP) – ‘Fatality review workshop’ in January 2010;
 OGP recommended 8 core rules and a library of additional 10 rules for member companies to chose from;
8 core rules apply to at least 70% of OGP reported fatal accidents;
 Advised the member companies to adopt the 8 core rules as a minimum.
 Study on the causes and contribution factors related to the Fatalities in the similar
industries = 90% prevention.
