Industry Safety Management

Like the state s safety management, the industry s safety management consists of two elements the prescription of safety norms, and the safety control checking that the norms are complied with and instigating corrective measures if need be. 

Obviously, the safety norms that the industry itself defines and implements in its own activities have to observe the requirements that are laid down in the acts and regulations pertaining to the activities, as well as in the individual administrative decisions issued on that basis. It may seem less obvious, however, that the control activities also should be governed by statutory requirements. In relation to the state, it might be assumed that the industry s primary obligation is to comply with direct safety norms, potentially having a direct effect on the safety level in the activities. 

both elements of the industry s safety management have a legal eompulsory basis. But they differ, both in terms of stmcture and detailed content. 

This system implies that the industry has to identify the limits of freedom, and then to define its preferred alternatives within these limits. This amounts to internal prescription of norms. Often, material elements consist of mere reference to various standards issued by (in most cases) private institutions and referred to in the guidelines that are attached to the regulations (see Subsection 5.4.2 (c)). 

The internal norms may surface in internal procedures, technical project specifications, operating manuals and the like. These documents will in turn constitute relevant objects for state safety control state supervisory bodies evaluate the solutions and may react by requiring amendments to be made. More likely, the choices made by industry will be reviewed by the supervisory bodies in the context of the industry s applications for the various approvals, permits and licences needed to conduct the petroleum activities.

In relation to the industry safety management, the request for an internal control system means that the industry is forced to establish a structured system for managing safety issues. Inherent in this system are also the technical and organisational prerequisites for making the right choices within the flexible framework defined by, inter aha, function requirements - and indeed also the prerequisites for identifying such flexibility. Consequently, the internal control as it is required under the safety legislation is a crucial factor in the industry s internal prescription of norms (5).

The traditional SHE management approach to this problem has been to introduce formal decision-making routines that managers have to follow. The aim is to shape the behaviour of the decision-makers in a direction that gives safety sufficient attention. Heinrich pioneered this approach in his classical book on Industrial Safety Management (Heinrich, 1959). He introduced five steps that decision makers have to go through in order to prevent accidents in a systematic way (1) collection of data about accidents and near-accidents (2) analysis of these data (3) selection of remedies (4) implementation and (5) evaluation of effects. 

The development of safety systems is largely driven by lessons learned from incidents—particularly catastrophic events. Chapter 2 provides an overview of some of the incidents that have led to the development of new offshore safety standards and techniques. In addition to describing important offshore incidents, three events from other industries are also described because of the impact that they had on all industrial safety management programs.
