The HSE Case
Guideline

What is it?

What it is not

Is it necessary?
 What is it?

It is a generic HSE Case:

A MODU Passport;

An objective assessment of
the MODU and its operability
 What it is not?

It is not a UK Safety Case:

It is not a European HSE

Case
 Is it necessary?
Provides a clear reference point
for all MODU HSE aspects;

Provides a consistent, objective

harmonised standard;

Creates a level playing field for all;

Demonstrates What you say is

what you do.
 Why was it
Developed?
Requested by Drilling Industry;

Widespread Stakeholder interest / use;

Regulatory acceptance / use outside

Europe;

Publication / use of International

Standards;

Harmonise HSE Case principles.

 Summary of Operation
Boundaries
The SOOB assists Managers and Supervisors
to make decisions, typically when:
To continue certain activities;
The effectiveness of some critical barriers may
be compromised, creating situations of
increased risk;
The SOOB is vital in establishing the
boundaries when operating near tolerability
limits;
The SOOB assists in distinguishing between
stop work conditions (red) and proceed
with caution conditions (yellow).
Summary of Operation
Boundaries
 Summary of Operation
Boundaries
Barrier defeating factors should
include issues such as
Concurrent operations;
Routine and non-routine activities;
Equipment not fit for purpose;
Disabled safety systems;
Poor environmental conditions;
Abnormal process conditions;
Unavailable life saving systems;
Absence of key personnel.
 Summary of Operation
Boundaries
For each of the defeating factors the
following criteria should also be included:
What is optimum for operations;
What is not optimum, but safe for operations;
When caution is warranted due to increased
risk;
When compensatory barriers are needed to
continue operations;
When the related activities should be stopped
until barriers are restored or supplemented.
 Drilling Contractors Scope of
Operations
A document for communicating the risk
management process, hazards and
barriers to the workforce;
It requires inclusion of the following:
Hazard sources;
Major and Other Workplace Hazards
associated with each hazard source;
Review the relationship of hazardous
operations to assist in determining critical
activities / tasks;
Potential risk rating with respect to their
significance to the business and operation.
