Safety

Safety is a core value in Prosafe. We look upon the objective of zero incidents as a goal to work towards and a way of thinking. We are committed to working actively to avoid injuries and accidents.

Systematic preventive health, safety and environment work is a line management responsibility in Prosafe. Involvement by management and SBM, strong leadership and commitment, and close cooperation with the organisation onshore and offshore, including employee representatives and safety delegates, are key factors in achieving our goal of operating without accidents. It is about visibility, walking the talk and caring about each other and the values we manage on behalf of our owners and clients.

We continually look ahead and focus on the implementation of preventive measures and initiatives to further strengthen our safety culture. We encourage our employees to identify and assist in the development of new systems and procedures which deliver improved safety results.

All injuries and serious incidents are unacceptable to Prosafe. Where such events occur, we ensure that suitably resourced investigations are undertaken to identify root causes and introduce risk-reducing measures aimed at preventing recurrence. The findings of these investigations are conveyed to the rest of the organisation to ensure a transfer of experience. These are important measures for reaching the company’s goal of zero injuries and incidents.

Continuously supporting safety awareness

Prosafe continues to promote and support a zero mindset with our employees and sub-contractors. In order to achieve this, a number of activities and management tools are facilitated:

• Executive Management Town Hall briefings
• Senior Management Direction and Action Summits
• Major Accident Hazard Awareness familiarisation
• Employee engagement
• Empowerment to all personnel to ‘Stop a Job’ where HSE concerns are observed
• Safety inductions for all personnel visiting our vessels
• Best practices are actively adopted by all personnel supported through Prosafe Principles and Site Safety Standards
• Active worksite monitoring, HSSE tours, accommodation and food hygiene inspections, risk assessments and permit to work monitoring are conducted to ensure that safe working practices are in place and remain effective. Safety observation and Intervention feedback cards to provide both positive and negative feedback to the organisation on our behaviours, worksite conditions and working practices

Preventive work is important, and the various improvement efforts continue to strengthen the organisation’s culture and form part of Prosafe’s continual improvement programs;

A number of Working Environment and Major Accident Hazard Workshops have been undertaken with marine crew personnel.

By continuously instilling safety awareness, we will achieve a real and lasting shift in mindset that will result in improved safety performance.
