5.2.1Health, Safety and Security Reporting
Our people work in demanding roles and conditions which have many different hazards to manage, whether in offshore locations or construction work in remote locations. The HSS performance indicators boundaries take into account:
- Employees, which include all direct hires, part-time employees, locally-hired agency staff (’direct contractors’) in the fabrication sites, offices and offshore workers, i.e. all people working for SBM Offshore.
- Contractors which include any person employed by a contractor or contractor’s subcontractor(s) who is directly involved in execution of prescribed work under a contract with SBM Offshore.
Until 2021, HSS incidents have been reported and managed through SBM Offshore’s incident management tool (SRS – Single Reporting System) which is a web-based reporting system that is used to collect data on all incidents occurring in all locations where SBM Offshore operates. In 2021, SBM Offshore developed and began using the IFS Incident Management/Corrective Action Preventive Action (IM/CAPA) module for Brazil operations. IFS IM/CAPA module will be further rolled out to the remaining company locations to replace SRS.
SBM Offshore reports on all incidents classified as fatalities, injuries and high consequence injuries – work-related injuries that result in a fatality or in an injury from which the worker is not expected to recover from within six months. Safety incidents are reported based on the incident classifications as defined by the IOGP Report 2020s-May 2021. Health incidents are reported based on the occupational illnesses classification given in IOGP Report Number 393-2007. The main-type of work-related injury categories are related to manual handling injuries and slips, trips and falls – e.g. walking at same level & stairs. Investigations, based on the type, criticality and severity of the event, are performed by specifically identified personnel using methods among which TapRoot® and 5 Why.
Employees are provided HSSE trainings to familiarize themselves with the Company’s health, safety, and security rules and regulations. The training topics are based on the hazards identified through the above identification process as well as the regulatory requirements. The promotion of a speak up culture – as described in section 2.1.1. – contributes to the identification process. Inclusion and non-retaliation are part of the Speak Up Policy.
