Lifesaving Rules
Critical Risk Controls
Our Lifesaving Golden Rules define non negotiable controls for the highest risk activities across all operated assets.
Controls
- Disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle hydrocarbons and other hazardous substances to prevent unplanned releases which could result in incidents
Controls
- Controls and monitoring of the reliability of explosives’ storage, handling, transportation and usage ensure the seismic and wireline crew safety
Controls
- Controls and monitoring of the reliability of equipment and protection systems during work at height activities ensure the workers safety
Controls
- Controls and monitoring of the reliability of equipment and protection systems involving height/ high overhead structures
Controls
- Implementation of procedures, controls and specialized personnel guarantee safety during activities where energized systems are present
Controls
- Fire risk must be assessed and control measures such as procedures and active/passive fire protection systems implemented
Controls
- Procedures, staff training, specific collective and personal protective equipment are required to work in the presence of toxic gases
Controls
- Lifting operations properly planned, implemented and monitored, prevent the workers risk of falling or being crushed or struck
Controls
- Atmospheric testing, specific training on confined space activities, implementation of dedicated emergency procedures, are mandatory to work safely in a confined space
Controls
- Any plant/organizational change must be identified, assessed and authorized by the responsible of the work place
Controls
- Driving behavior and recommendations for proper vehicle management reduces the risk of accidents
Controls
- Work permit is an essential and mandatory management tool to be adopted for non routine or dangerous activities
Controls
- Soil characterization, protected excavation areas and correct use of machinery, guarantee the workers safety
