2.1.2Employee Health Safety & Security

Management Approach

SBM Offshore is committed to safeguarding the health, safety and security of its employees, subcontractors and assets, as well as to minimizing the impact of SBM Offshore’s activities on local ecosystems and proactively protecting the environment. SBM Offshore applies controls and safeguards based on a lifecycle hazard management process and an integrated management system, the Global Enterprise Management System (GEMS), underpinned by SBM Offshore’s Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE) culture development program. In line with SBM Offshore’s HSSE Human Rights and Process Safety Policy statement endorsed by the Management Board, SBM Offshore defines its HSSE requirements relative to its hazard exposure in compliance with applicable legal requirements and ISO standards, as well as international oil and gas practices.

SBM Offshore is continuing the journey towards Target Excellence (see section 2.1.3), with the objectives of No Harm, No Defects, No Leaks. For the No Harm goal, SBM Offshore expects employees and contractors to intervene on unsafe acts, unsafe situations and non-compliance with the Life Saving Rules, stop the work if they feel anything is unsafe and report any interventions and incidents. The Life365 program, an integral part of the Target Excellence journey, frames the development of the HSSE leadership and culture development in SBM Offshore.

• Follows ISO17776 guidance on hazard management.
• Follows the best practices outlined in Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) and Energy Institute (EI) guidance documents.

The HEMP runs throughout the life cycle of an asset.
• Piloted the SBM Offshore live barrier project.
