confined space, energy isolation, etc.”, and all precautions specified in work permits that can be
implemented during the work, and its associated activities.
 I develop Job Safety Analysis “JSA” and up-date current JSA as necessary. Similarly manage SOPs, Tool box
talks, Pre tour and Pre task meetings. Conducted Risk assessments.
I also take part in periodic HSE audits & inspections to identify areas for improvements to rectify unsafe actions
and conditions.
I usually carry out different drills like fire, H2S, Fall from Height, BOP/Kick, with different scenarios and evaluate
performance of emergency response team.
 Also carried out near miss / accident investigation using Comprehensive List of Causes system to identify
their root causes and prevent their reoccurrence.
 Also Review Mast-Check with Assistant driller and derrick man to ensure integrity of the drilling rig.
 Similarly Carry out Weekly, Monthly, quarterly checks on rig equipment.
 Similarly Review the Monthly reports of Maintenance/Calibration of portable Gas Detectors, H2S Sensors,
and Fire Alarm System of both office & Camp.
 Also prepare safety administration works such as annual & monthly HSE reports and participate HSE
presentations as necessary.
