The Life Saving Rules and our Incidents

Some say that the Life Saving Rules solely relate to saving peoples’ lives and that as the number of PDO work related deaths are comparatively low there is too much emphasis placed upon them at the expense of other safety related issues - Not withstanding the fact that a single death of one of colleagues is one death too many, our incident investigations show us that these rules relate to far , far more than our work related fatalities. Sure, they are

   

called the Life Saving Rules and yes, three life saving rules were broken in two of our fatal incidents, but a quick scan through the lost time injuries which befell people working in PDO operations in 2014 shows ten more of these  rules were broken where people did not die.  Yes, they suffered serious injuries but they are still alive today, mainly to the help of "Lady Luck".   It is true that slightly differing circumstances could have easily have resulted in their deaths but luck helped us,

 

What You Need to Know

 
 
Where dido the rules come from?:

The Life Saving Rules came about as a result of an study in the oil and gas industry which analysed the investigations from thousands of serious incidents which took place beween 1991 and 2013. They are based on fact, on the deaths of thousands in our industry and so should not be ignored.

Stepping in:

When faced with a potential conflict, it is natural for people to choose to 'walk by and look the other way'. It is the easiest option. Those that choose to intervene; the brave characters are the ones that overcome instinct for the good of everyone. Go on, be brave and step in.
