HSEQ SP-00
STANDARD PROCEDURES (procedure number)

RISK & OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

In order to identify and manage (COMPANY NAME)risks we need to understand the context (Ref. to
part one of HSEQMS) within which (COMPANY NAME)operates. In particular we need to consider
or department specific:

a) Objectives / activities / tasks (break down the activity into definable steps if needed);
b) Internal and external context.

It is important that sufficient time is spent developing a thorough understanding of the context for
which the risk assessment is being undertaken exists. This underpins all subsequent stages of the
risk & opportunities management process. In addition to enabling individual risks to be identified,
this context analysis also informs the understanding of:

a) How those risks arise through the interaction of events, business processes and/or
individuals;
b) What and who will be impacted, and how, should those risk events occur; and
c) Business processes and methods that are currently in place, or which could be put in place,
in order to manage risks.

The hazard / aspect based approach will be used for identifying and evaluating the HSE risks/
impacts within the Company’s operations.

The hazard / aspect based approach will be used for identifying and evaluating the HSE risks/
impacts within the Company’s operations.

The approach aims to:

a) Identify hazards/aspect
b) Evaluate tasks risk/impact
c) Identify controls & safeguards to reduce risk/impact
d) Define and agree new or revised operating procedures.
e) Provide a framework for reducing hazards/ risks.
f) Provide tools for the identification of training needs.
g) Provide input to the development of safe working procedures and practices.

5.1.2 EXTERNAL CONTEXT

a) Political – reforms, industrial relations environment, civil unrest;


b) Economic – taxes, economic growth, inflation, unemployment, financial standing;
c) Social – cultural expectations, social norms, demographics, internal capabilities;
d) Technological – current and emerging technology;
e) Legal – regulation and legislation;
f) Environmental – ecological and environmental aspects;
g) Key drivers and trends that may impact (COMPANY NAME)objectives;
h) Relationships with and the perceptions and values of (COMPANY NAME)key external
stakeholders.

5.1.3 INTERNAL CONTEXT

a) (COMPANY NAME)governance, organization structure, roles, responsibilities and


accountabilities;
b) (COMPANY NAME)policies, objectives and the strategies that are in place to achieve them;

d) Significant investigation and audit findings, incidents and near misses;
e) Relationships with and the perceptions and values of internal stakeholders;
f) (COMPANY NAME)culture.
5.2 PROCEDURE FOR PERFORMING THE RISK ASSESSMENT

It is envisaged that risk assessment will form an integral part of the required safety controls, when
completing work permits and prior to the commencement of any (COMPANY
NAME)onshore/offshore Operation.

Risk & Opportunities Management is an ongoing process, which should be carried out on a regular
basis. It should also be conducted whenever new plant, equipment or machinery are to be
introduced or retrofitted on board and when there is a change in working practices, procedures and
regulatory requirements.

The management of the Company requires ‘Employee Groups’ to conduct and record suitable and
sufficient risk assessments on specific aspects of operations, covering but not limited to the topics
mentioned below and in hazard and business risk register.

The identification of hazards and evaluation of the associated risks is carried out by the HOD’s,
Upon request or as risk assessment is required HAZID (Hazard Identification) team will be formed
which comprises the SSHE management representative, the Head of the relevant department/Line
Manager, and stake holders.

The team systematically focuses on the particular aspects of all jobs within a project or operation.
The main advantage is that the risk assessors will be able to investigate, analyze specified hazards
and risks one by one and thereby become conversant with the reference publications and the
appropriate safety standards. This helps to ensure a consistent approach to a particular hazard or
risk across all of the project / operation activities. The risk in this type of approach is evaluated as
combination of potential severity of the outcome and the likelihood of occurrence.

Risk = Potential Severity x Likelihood of occurrence

5.3 STEP-BY-STEP ASSESSMENT

The step by step assessment is to identify the hazards, which are associated with the individual
tasks, and state the controls required. The risk assessment shall take the form of a step-by-step
critical examination of the task, from start to finish, analyzing each activity, source(s) of hazard and
level of risk.

The Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment process shown below in six key steps followed with
flow chart but not limited to
1. Job / Activity identification
2. Hazard identification
3. Identifying who/what might be harmed
4. Quantifying the risk
5. Applying control measures/treating Risk
6. Follow up of measures and control of effectiveness

STEP 1. JOB / ACTIVITY IDENTIFICATION

HSEQ SP-00
STANDARD PROCEDURES (procedure number)

RISK & OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

Identify all jobs / activities in the work scope (Ref Context. From the list of jobs ascertain whether
any existing hazard identification and risk assessment has been applied. All jobs / activities not
being assessed will be subject to process.

STEP 2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

This stage aims to identify what, why and how things can happen as the basis for further analysis.
There are a number of ways to identify potential sources of injury, disease, or damage to property
reputation and environment. Selection of the appropriate procedure will depend upon the type of
work process and hazard involved.

It is important to take a holistic approach to ensure all risks are identified and considered. Specific
consideration should be given to management structures and how they impact on decision making
and information flows; health and safety of internal and external individuals (COMPANY
NAME)interacts with; reputation; systems and processes; compliance and legal requirements;
finances and strategy. Company adopts various methods to source information to ensure risks are
identified.

Methods for identifying site / office hazards and predicting potential damage include a combination
of the following and a hazard prompt card (Annex A) and other sources of information include but
are not limited to:

a) Task observations, Job hazard analysis


b) Accidents, ill-health or near miss data (Past record)
c) Employee Consultation& Communication
d) Work place inspection
e) Material Safety Data Sheets and manufacturer’s information
f) For ready reference the Hazard prompt card (referring to annex A)

HAZARD ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES

Job Safety Analysis/Task Analysis and systems safety techniques, hazard identification analysis
(HAZID), can be used to determine and evaluate the tasks associated with the work process which
may give rise to hazards.

In the event that these techniques are required it is understood that a Company’s Safety
management system relevant section will address the applicable analysis.

PAST RECORDS

Incident/injury occurrences and near-miss records should also be analyzed to identify problem
areas. It should be recognized however, that the past experience of the Company may not indicate
the total range of risk possibilities.

EMPLOYEE CONSULTATION & COMMUNICATION

There is no substitute for a group of our employees who know the work activities and work
environment, getting together and listing the hazards and risks faced by the scope of work.

The Company considers this to be one of the most effective means of identifying hazards on
Company Workplaces. Project Managers, Supervisors and site workers are often in the best

RISK & OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

position to identify hazards and assess the likely outcomes of the hazards. They will often know the
best risk control option.

WORKPLACE INSPECTION

Hazards exist in every workplace it is every employee’s right to be informed of any known or
foreseeable health or safety hazard in the area where the employee works .An on scene company
verification using a simple checklist can identify sources of hazards. It is often useful to employ a
person from outside the work area as a new set of eyes however it can be initiated by site
employees i.e. site supervisor etc.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS AND MANUFACTURER’S INFORMATION

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Product Labels, Manufacturers and Suppliers are essential
sources of information regarding the hazards associated with chemical substances used as well as
the MSDS for bunkers received on board and / or paints etc.

HAZARD AND BUSINESS RISK REGISTER

The conclusion of this stage will result in the documentation of a list of hazards, activities, tasks or
processes involving some risk and identification of their potential consequences.

Additionally Hazard Risk workshops (brainstorming), use of Questionnaire surveys, Business


process mapping, media articles, insurance and litigation claim history, Journals and industry
periodicals, industry networking events, team and joint department meetings could be used.

STEP 3. WHO AND WHAT MAY BE AFFECTED / HARMED

WHO may be harmed?


a) Operators of equipment
b) Contractors
c) Marine and deck crew
d) Newly hired personnel
e) Third party on board (clients, passengers, etc.)
f) Office staff
g) People sharing your workplace
h) Cleaners
i) Divers

WHAT might be harmed?


a) Assets - Company’s and, or customer’s
b) Equipment
c) Material
d) Environment
e) Time loss

Once the risks have been identified a risk category should be allocated to each risk. This assists
with reporting and analysis of (COMPANY NAME)risk profile. Choose the risk category that most
appropriately summarizes the nature of the risk. (COMPANY NAME)uses the following risk
categories:

RISK & OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

Medium Risk M  Activity must be investigated with a view to reducing


risk further. The task can only proceed with
appropriate management authorization after
consultation with specialist people.
Unacceptable Risk H  Task must not be undertaken. It requires immediate
action to avoid the hazard or substantially reduce the
risk by further/better control measures

STEP 5. APPLICATION OF CONTROL MEASURES

This stage of the risk & opportunities management is risk/opportunity control where control
measures to be listed against each hazard. All contingencies must be covered - all reasonably
possible situations where a snag or failure could occur and from which you can safely recover from
such a problem and complete the activity.

The control and risk treatment measures must include:

a) Identifying the range of options for dealing with the controls of risks
b) Evaluating these options
c) Preparing risk control plans and implementing them.
d) Adequate information, instruction, training
e) Adequate systems or procedures
f) Meet the normal legal requirement
g) Represent good practice
h) Reduce Risk as low as reasonably practicable
i) Comply with a recognized industry standard
j) Have an acceptable low level of residual risk

Further the control measures and the ranges of Work place risk control and reduction measures are
listed below in order of preference;

a) Design - Allows hazards to be designed out; and control measures to be designed in.
b) Elimination - Modification to process method or material to eliminate the hazard completely
c) Substitution - Replacing the material, substance or process with a less hazardous one.
d) Redesign - Redesigning plant or work process to reduce the risk
e) Separation- Isolating the hazard from persons by safeguarding, or by space or time
separation.
f) Administration - Adjusting the time or conditions of risk exposures / training
g) PPE - Using the appropriately designed protection equipment where other controls are not
practicable.
h) Exposure: Minimizing exposure to sources of risk can be achieved by;
i) Rotating personnel through high risk tasks, changing timings – (e.g. avoiding peak hour
activity times)
j) Transferring the Risk, Sub-contracting the analysis of risk to personnel outside the Company
who are specialists and possess expertise on the matter.
k) Probability - Reduce the frequency or probability of the occurrence through management
controls, or other arrangements, which reduce opportunity for error. These could include but
are not limited to; Audit and compliance programs Contractual agreement conditions, Formal
reviews of design, engineering and operations, Inspection and process controls, Preventive
Maintenance, Quality Assurance, Research and development, technological development,
Structured training and other programs, Supervision and, Testing (Technical, Procedural and
Behavioral controls as appropriate)

Below Risk Management categories maybe used for risk control and treatment.

Not proceeding with the project or activity or aspect that gives


rise to the risk. E.g. deciding not to proceed with a plan that
Risk avoidance
requires personnel working at high scaffolding platforms
during extreme winds.
Developing, implementing or redesigning equipment,
practices, processes or policies that will make the risk less
likely to occur. e.g. high staff turnover may be reduced by
Reducing the likelihood of the improving the staff performance management system, or the
risk risk of injury to pedestrians at the Supply Base is improved
by putting a physical barrier between the pedestrian walkway
and the vehicle lane rather than having only a painted line
barrier.
Developing treatments to reduce the consequences to
(COMPANY NAME)(or the department) should the risk occur.
e.g. the impact of a mechanical failure may be reduced by
Reducing the impact of the risk ensuring regular maintenance of the critical spares list,
allowing the mechanical failure to be repaired quickly, or the
use of PPE such as gloves may reduce the severity of a
potential hand injury when working with hot surfaces.
Transferring the impacts of a risk to another party. e.g.
Risk transfer insurance policies, contractual provisions, subcontracting or
outsourcing.
Putting in place mechanisms that will enable (COMPANY
NAME)to effectively deal with a risk event should it occur. e.g.
Contingency planning
resources which are set aside to deal with a potential project
cost overrun, or any emergency or disaster preparation.

STEP 6. FOLLOW UP OF MEASURES AND CONTROL OF EFFECTIVENESS

Re-evaluate the risk with control measures in place.


Identify if further control measures or risk treatment can be applied and re-evaluate, analyze the risk
with the further control measures in place.

If the team considers that there are insufficient independent control measures available or that they
are unlikely to be effective against that particular hazard, then the risk must be judged to be
unacceptable. In this instance the work should be cancelled or postponed until further thought has
been given as to how the risks can further be reduced in order that the work activity can be
performed safely.

The person responsible for the production of the report or formal record shall clearly identify who is
responsible for actions defining control measures and will set a time limit.

6.0 CONTROL, VALIDITY AND REVIEW OF THE RISK ASSESSMENTS

The risk assessments are subject to periodical formal review to confirm the validity of the
assessment and whether risk controls are still effective and adequate.

For risk management practices to remain relevant and effective they must adapt to and evolve with
changes to (COMPANY NAME)(or the specific department) internal and external environment,

methods of operation and stakeholders’ perceptions and actions. This is achieved through ongoing
monitoring and regular review and update of risk registers and risk treatments.

The review of risk assessments for entire risk registers to be carried out annually.
In case of below mentioned items review cycle may increase and review to be carried out on
quarterly basis and in some cases as soon as possible.

a) Expansion, contraction or restructuring the activities


b) Reallocation of responsibilities
c) Changes of methods of work or pattern of behavior
d) Occurrence of hazardous, undesired event, incidents etc.
e) Business risk high potential
f) Material change in circumstances (this may include significant audit findings, investigation
findings etc.)
g) Project change

7.0 CONSEQUENCES

Ensuring management controls can reduce consequences and physical barriers put in place can
minimize the adverse impact. Where the residual risk potential rating is intolerable or the risk has
not been lowered to as low as reasonably practical and rated as HIGH, tools to use for analysis may
include but not limited to; Contingency planning, Contracted arrangements, Contract conditions,
Design features, Disaster recovery plans, Emergency response procedures, Specialist advice, Bow
Tie analysis etc.

In this case the Risk owner must obtain approval from Productioncaptain
Director and subject to the agreement/approval of other interested parties prior commencement or
start of the job/project.

8.0 TOOLBOX TALK (TBT) & JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA)

8.1 Toolbox Talk (TBT)

A Toolbox Talk is an informal group discussion that focuses on a particular safety issue. These tools
can be used daily to promote your employee’s safety culture. Toolbox talks are also intended to
facilitate health and safety discussions on the job site.

Apart from routine use as considered appropriate, toolbox checklist should always be used prior to
undertaking tasks of a non-routine nature and at all times when new crew are involved in shipboard
tasks with which they may not be familiar.
8.2 Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)

A job hazard analysis (JHA) is a procedure which helps integrate accepted safety and health
principles and practices into a particular task or job operation.

In a JHA, each basic step of the job is to identify potential hazards and to recommend the safest
way to do the job. Other terms used to describe this procedure are job safety analysis (JSA) and job
hazard breakdown.

9.0 RISK, AUDIT AND HSEQ INTEGRATION

Internal audit plans (including HSEQ, ISM, and ISPS internal audits) are developed in consideration
of department specific risk profiles. This ensures those controls that are heavily relied on to reduce
risk and those risks that are rated as having less than effective control environments are being
checked for effectiveness and improvement opportunities.

Incidents, near misses and significant investigation and audit findings are relayed by the
Operations, and Commercial Manager to the HSEQ department to ensure the findings can be
considered at the next risk register and control reviews (both hazard risk register and business risk
register).
10.0 THE RISK TOOL RELATIONSHIP

We have a number of risk tools available to manage risk:


a) (COMPANY NAME)HSEQ policy
b) Stop Work Policy
c) (COMPANY NAME)Risk Management Policy
d) JHA Work sheet
e) Tool Box Talk
f) Risk assessment form
g) Environmental R-A, Aspect Impact scoring form
h) Audit and Inspection procedure
i) MOC procedure
j) BBS Procedure
k) Hazard and Business Risk Register

10.1 The Business Risk Register and the Hazard Risk Register Relationship

(COMPANY NAME)is faced with numerous hazards and risks in everyday operations. The existence
and management of these operational risks can impact on the risks associated with business
objectives. e.g. a safety performance type risk sits on each business risk register. Where there have
been incidents or near misses, poor audit findings etc. this will impact on the how the safety
performance business risk is assessed. It is important that the management of hazards and hazard
risks is considered during business risk reviews.

These risk tools are the responsibility of the risk owner and Commercial Manager and are utilized by

10.2 The Hazard Risk Register and JHA Relationship

A JHA requires a risk assessment of hazards for each step involved in a task / activity. A JHA is to
be developed for all Medium, High rated risks or whenever needed. The hazard risk register must
be used to assist with the development of a JHA. The hazard risk register will contain hazards, risks
and controls identified for the task / activity.

The development or review of a JHA is an opportunity to consider the existing risks, or identify any
new risks associated with the task / activity not already listed on the JHA (if undertaking a review) or
on the hazard risk register (if developing a JHA). New hazard risks or changes to the existing
hazard risks may occur due to a change in circumstances, process, newly implemented controls,
the context (including weather) etc.

RISK & OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

Where the residual risk in a JHA is low or medium the Supervisor can approve changes to it, the
changes are to be reported to the Department Manager/Line Manager respectively. Those JHA’s
that contain high risks are to be approved by the Department Manager/Line Manager and
Commercial Manager, respectively.

The Department Manager will report any changes to the Commercial Manager who can authorize
changes to the hazard risk register. Similarly when a change is made to the hazard risk register
during a review the corresponding JHA is to be updated.

A JHA must be signed off by the team completing the task prior to starting the task every time.

10.3 The JHA and BBS Relationship

Immediately prior to performing a work activity every time or when a stop work has been initiated
the hazards associated with the task need to be reviewed. This allows the opportunity to suggest
changes to the JHA where required.

10.4 The BBS and Stop Work Obligation Relationship

Work must stop and your supervisor notified immediately where you see an unsafe situation or act
that could cause harm. The BBS procedure is a tool that can be used to observe unsafe situations
although the stop work obligation is not limited to when a task is initiated but must be used anytime
there is an unsafe act/situation observed.

10.5 The Risk and the Management of Change Process Relationship

The management of change process identifies and mitigates the risks that arise when there is a
required change to (COMPANY NAME)resources, systems, infrastructure and/or standard operating
practices and procedures.

HOD’s, Line management and Supervisors are responsible for using the change management
process. Department Managers have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the process is being
used properly.

10.6 Links to Quality

Risk should be managed as an integrated part of the HSE’s overall approach to quality
improvement. Not to do so would result in fragmentation and missed opportunities. The risk
management process intertwines with the quality cycle, which includes the stage of risk
identification i.e. identifying areas for improvement, risk treatment and monitoring and evaluation
and secondly at the stage of risk treatment i.e. putting in place improvement programmes.

It is essential to ensure that the quality cycle includes the identification of risks from Action planning
to treat risks identified form part of the continuous quality improvement cycle. Tools such as the
‘Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA)’ cycle could be a useful resource in determining and implementing
treatment (action) plans. The treating of risks through a structured quality improvement process is a
very powerful mechanism and one which is capable of targeting the quality programmes to areas of
need in a prioritized way.

RISK & OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

11. Management of Opportunities

(COMPANY NAME)is actively seeking out opportunities which could enhance its financial viability
and market position. For example:

 Obtaining new contracts


 Obtaining access to new markets
 Identification of new industries which may be served by (COMPANY NAME)
 Development of new offerings that are within the scope of capabilities of (COMPANY NAME)
 Streamlining existing processes to improve efficiency and reduce costs

Opportunities are identified in 5.1.1 Establishing Context of the Organization described above.

Discussing and analyzing opportunities shall be carried out by the Top Management. If made part of
the Management Review activities, these shall be recorded in the Management Review Meeting
Records.

To help determine which opportunities should be pursued, the organization may conduct an
“opportunity pursuit assessment.” This ranks potential positive opportunities by their likelihood of
success and potential benefit.

The Opportunity Pursuit Assessment is conducted by:

 Identifying the opportunity


 Identifying the process for which the opportunity most likely falls under.
 Assigning a probability rating to the identified opportunity; this probability that the organization
can achieve the opportunity. It is comprised of two elements: likelihood and previous
occurrences.
Each element is given a score from 1 (lowest probability) to 5 (highest probability).
The final probability rating is the average of the elements.
 Assigning a benefit rating to assess potential benefits if the opportunity is won.
This is comprised of six elements:
 Potential for New Business;
 Potential Expansion of Current Business;
 Potential improvements in the organization’s ability to satisfy regulatory or statutory
requirements;
 Potential improvements to the Integrated Management System (IMS);
Potential enhancements of (COMPANY NAME)reputation;
 Estimated cost of implementation.

RISK & OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

Each element is given a score from 1 (lowest benefit) to 5 (highest benefit). The final benefit rating
is the average of the elements.
Calculating a final Opportunity Factor based on the equation:

PROBABILITY RATING x BENEFIT RATING = OPPORTUNITY FACTOR

For opportunities with a final Opportunity Factor rating equal to or greater than the threshold set in
the Opportunity Register (score of 9), management will decide whether to pursue the opportunity
through an “opportunity pursuit plan” or to abandon the opportunity altogether.
Opportunity Pursuit Plan must be documented, either in the Opportunity Register or in another
document which must be referenced on the form.
Opportunities with a factor less than the opportunity target rating (score of 9) may be abandoned
outright, unless otherwise directed by management.
The final column allows for entry of success result, once the opportunity has been closed; this
includes entries for abandoning the opportunity, failing to win the opportunity, and three grades of
success.

Analysis of any opportunity will generally result in one of the following possible determinations:

1) Take the opportunity


2) Pursue the opportunity
3) Explore the opportunity in greater detail before proceeding
4) Accept the opportunity, but under limited and controlled conditions
5) Decline the opportunity, typically based on a high expected cost or low anticipated benefit.
