Development and implementation of an HSE management system in E and P companies
- Shell International Petroleum Mij. B.V., The Hague (Netherlands)
This paper describes the experience to date with safety management systems (SMS's) and describes their implementation after the Piper Alpha disaster and Lord Cullen's report. It also shows the gradual expansion of these systems toward fully integrated health, safety, and environment (HSE) management systems. The authors' company policy, which was clearly stated before publication of Lord Cullen's report, is that work should not start until the appropriate controls are in place. Work based on this policy and on objective-setting SMS's within Shell Intl. Petroleum Mij. (SIPM) E and P coordination started in earnest soon after the publication of the report in Nov. 1990 and has continued without interruption since that time. Objective-setting systems may be defined as systems where the company management sets its own objectives or goals on the basis of functional rather than prescriptive requirements and then goes on to demonstrate how such goals have been, or are being, met. The paper ends with a projection of what may be expected in the future.
