A-1.1 Definition of HSE Policy (ies)

Produce an HSE policy

The Organisation should ensure that its own HSE policy is consistent with Eni-Agip Division
HSE policy(ies) and with the Organisation's other policies.

Define commitment of HSE policy

Policy should give evidence of the Organisation’s commitment in the development and
implementation of HSE IMS and in the continual improvement of its efficiency.

The Organisation should define in its HSE policy the commitment:


• to continual improvement of its HSE performance, and reduction of the risk and hazard to
health, safety and environment of its activities, products and services.
• to comply as a minimum with:
− all relevant applicable legislation and associated codes of practice;
− all applicable (environmental) regulations and laws;
− all requirements of the reference standards.
• to apply responsible standards where laws and regulations do not cover all HSE aspects;
• to identify and satisfy stakeholders’ requirements with the aim of increasing the satisfaction
of the same.
• to work with government agencies and others (relevant enforcement agencies, industry
groups and external bodies) to develop and base responsible regulations and standards on
sound science and cost-benefit principles, to consider risks, costs, benefits and effects on
energy and product supply and on local communities welfare, and to understand and develop
HSE management and practice.
• to select contractors that may affect HSE performance of the Organisation so that
Contractors’ HSE standards are consistent with Organisation ones.
Contractors should manage HSE in line with the policy and require joint ventures under its
operational control to apply the policy and use its influence to promote it in its other
ventures.
The Organisation should require Organisation’s Contractors and partners to demonstrate the
same level of commitment to continuous improvement of HSE performance.
• to apply risk management tools, in order to:
− Identify the hazards arising from its business;
− Evaluate and manage the associated risk;
− Implement programs and appropriate protective measures to control such risks,
including appropriate monitoring of its potentially affected employees;
− Be prepared for any emergency and respond quickly, effectively and with care to
emergencies or accidents or incidents resulting from its operations, co-operating with
industry Organisations and authorised government agencies;
− Develop and maintain effective contingency plans, where appropriate in conjunction
with the authorities and emergencies services.

creation and maintenance of a supportive culture on HSE matters.
At this scope, HSE policy should be:
• implemented and maintained at all Organisation levels;
• easily understood, and translated if necessary;
• prominently displayed at worksites;
• regularly discussed in workplace meeting.

The Organisation should involve line managers in the management of HSE system and
programme by:
• setting HSE standards;
• establishing performance measurements systems;
• setting and monitoring HSE targets.

Document HSE policy and objectives

HSE policy, strategic objectives should be effectively documented, implemented, maintained,


communicated and be accessible in a comprehensible form to all personnel whether directly
employed, contracted or otherwise representing the Organisation.

HSE policy, strategic objectives and periodic performances should be publicly available to
interested parties.

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 8 of 98

B-1.1 Identification of potential HSE hazards

Compile a list of activities undertaken by the Organisation for each process.

The Organisation should ensure that the identification of the HSE hazards, effects and impacts is
applied to all the phases of the processes and activities.

The identification analysis should cover all the phases and relevant activities at appropriate level
of accuracy from acquisition and exploration up to decommissioning, abandonment, dismantling,
disposal, reclamation and restoration. Besides, it should include all the temporary phases that are
foreseen in the life of the installation such as anomalous conditions dictated by maintenance
activities.
A reference starting point could be the document "Macroprocesso della Divisione Agip" (Doc.
N°. 1.3.1.3) that outlines all the phases and typical activities of the ENI-Agip Division.

For each activity, gather information on HSE aspects, including:


• Workplaces;
• Facilities;
• Materials;
• Personnel;
• Regulations;
• Procedures.

The action is aimed at identifying all the elements, which may be affected by a potential HSE
hazard that could arise from each activity and from the materials, which are used or encountered
in them.

Care should be taken to the HSE criteria and limitations applicable for each activity to develop
products compliant with the Policy, Eni-Agip Division Standards and/or Procedures and
Regulations.

Gathered information should be arranged in rows consistent with the relevant activity.
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 9 of 98

Systematically identify HSE hazards in each activity.

The Organisation should involve appropriately personnel at all organisational level in the
identification of hazards.

For each activity, the most significant hazards should be identified in terms of:
• Potential sources of accidents;
• Potential sources of incidents;
• Human health hazards;
• Environmental hazards;
• Company Reputation hazards;
• Possibility of breaching applicable laws and rules;
• Possibility of violating Company Policy, assigned objectives and targets;
• Possibility of violating identified expectancy of stakeholders;
• Potential sources of economic loss.

Hazard identification should take advantage of a list of key words, deliberately chosen across a
range of complexity, mixture of hazards, sub activities, and other factors that may create a hazard
if they are lacking or deficient, e.g. culture.
TABLE 1 reports some example key words arranged in columns consistent with HSE elements
and appropriate sub elements.
The list should be supplemented or substituted by other key words as appropriate for the
particular Organisation or activity being considered.
The key words should be considered for each of the activities identified.

Identify the effects of each hazard

The Organisation should identify the main effects of each hazard and the main risk drivers and
the most suitable methods to control the hazard and to evaluate their effectiveness.

The identification of the hazards and effects should be performed using adequate specialised
techniques and systems, such as HAZID sessions, hazard and operability studies (HAZOP), event
of fault tree analysis, failure mode and effect analysis (FMECA).

When completing the H&S hazard analysis the following aspects should be considered:
• exposure of people (employee, contractors personnel, population);
• exposure routes (inhalation, swallowing, skin absorption, eyes/ears, radiation);
• exposure probability (hazard potential of material, chance of exposure occurring,
intensity and duration of exposure);
• working environment conditions (noise and vibration, lighting, thermal condition,
ergonomic factors, etc.).

The Organisation should involve personnel at all organisational level with specific expertise in
risk management, HSE issues, design and operations.

B-1.2 Definition of acceptance criteria for the risks

Identify applicable HSE requirements dictated by laws, rules and regulations.

The Organisation should establish procedures to identify and record all applicable HSE
requirements dictated by laws, rules and regulations, and other applicable requirements,
subscribed by the Organisation, in order to make them known to the interested personnel and
evaluate the hazards of their violation.

Set risk acceptance criteria consistent with detailed objectives and specific performances criteria
established.

The Organisation should establish the acceptance level for each risk.
Such criteria should be developed in the light of the policy, strategic HSE objectives, HSE risks
and operational and business needs.

Establish quantitative limits for performance criteria.

The Organisation should establish quantitative limits defining acceptance standards for each
performance criterion.
Such quantitative limits should satisfy, as a minimum, any relevant regulation and, in absence of
such regulations, the HSE Eni-Agip Division Standards or local objectives.
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 13 of 98

B-1.3 Evaluation of the risks and effects from identified hazard

Evaluate the risks and the effects from identified hazards.

Risks to be evaluated are addressed in B1 – HSE Guideline, 3rd indent.

Assess the severity of each risk

Each risk should be quantitatively assessed by consideration of the following factors:


• the frequency of the exposure, i.e. how often the hazard is likely to occur;
• the likelihood of the hazard resulting in an accident;
• the magnitude of the consequences.

The Organisation should access to the admissible sources of such information, including:
• internal knowledge and experience of manager and HSE experts;
• industry frequency and failure rate database and co-operative research programmes;
• relevant international, national and Eni-Agip Division standards and codes of
practice;
• industry and trade association codes of practice and other guidance.

The severity of the risk can be graphically represented in the Risk Matrix (Fig. 1), taking into
account the probability of the occurrence of the event and the magnitude of its consequences.

Fig. 1 - Risk Matrix

Depending on the position of the point in the Risk Matrix, it is possible to classify the risk as high,
medium or low according to the following table:
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 14 of 98

Legenda Area Risk

The level of risk is acceptable and no control


measure are required Low

The level of risk can be accepted only if the


costs to mitigate the effects are Medium
disproportionate to the benefits.

The level of risk is not acceptable and control


measures are required to mitigate the effects High

Record the risk evaluation results

Results of the evaluation should be recorded, together with the data sources and assumption used.
This record should be used by operations personnel developing procedures and issuing work
instructions and by key people to communicate the hazards that have been identified and the
measures that are in place to prevent and mitigate the risk of occurrence.

The hazard and effect documentation should be compliant with applicable legislative and
regulatory requirements to give evidence of effective application of hazard management.
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 15 of 98

B-1.4 Assessment of risks acceptability

Compare each identified risk against the relevant acceptability level or criteria.

The Organisation should compare each identified risk against the relevant acceptance criteria to
decide if the level of the risk is acceptable.

The Risk Matrix (Fig. 1) is a useful tool to assess the risk acceptability from a qualitative point of
view and, if quantitative values are specified for the different definitions, also from a quantitative
point of view.

Assess the risk acceptability

The HSE Responsible of the Organisation should assess in appropriate document the risk
acceptability against the specified criteria .

If it is impossible to reach an acceptable level of risk, a residual risk should be taken into account.
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 16 of 98

B-1.5 Identification of risk reduction measures

Identify prevention and mitigation measures to reduce potential HSE risks


The Organisation should identify measures to reduce risks and effects associated with the
identified hazard to within the tolerable criteria defined. Risk reduction measures should consider
and include as appropriate both those to prevent incidents (reducing the probability of occurrence)
and to mitigate the adverse effects (reducing the consequences).
Preventive measures include specific hardware to control hazardous operations and to maintain
asset integrity, such as:
• blow-out preventers;
• pressure release systems;
• personal protective equipment;
• security systems.

They also include organisational and system measures, such as:


• intrinsically safer designs;
• quality assurance, maintenance and inspection procedures;
• safe working practices;
• clear and well-communicated work instructions;
• use of Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS);
• prophylactic medical treatments (vaccination, immunisation).

Mitigation measures should include steps to prevent escalation of developing abnormal situations
and to lessen adverse effects on health, safety and the environment and, ultimately, emergency
response measures to recover. Such measures include for the H&S aspects:
• ignition control systems
• blast walls;
• secondary tank containments;
• passive fire protection;
• gas/fire/smoke detection.

Select prevention and mitigation measures to reduce potential HSE risks.


The Organisation should evaluate all the identified reduction measures and select those suitable
for reducing risk to a level deemed in compliance with the Company criteria reflecting amongst
other factors, local conditions and circumstances, the balance of cost and benefits and the current
state of scientific and technical knowledge.
Risk Reduction criteria should follow the alternatives in the sequence of preference:
• Remove risk;
• Reduce risk level by appropriate measure;
• Introduce controls.

Reconfirm by review that the reduction measures selected cover all identified risks.
The Organisation should re-appraise activities to ensure that all the risks have been adequately
covered and that the reduction measures proposed enable the fulfilment of local or Eni-Agip
Division HSE objectives.
The analysis should identify hazards arising from risk prevention and mitigation and recovery
measures and should evaluate the tolerability of the residual risks.
This action should involve all the existent controls to determine whether they are adequate or if
revisions are needed.
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 17 of 98

B-1.6 Implementation of the selected risk reduction measures

Develop HSE Action Plans to cover all identified risks.

The Organisation should develop an Action Plan to control risks by planning the selected
reduction measures and the upgrading of existing controls, as found necessary.
The plan is aimed at showing what needs to be done in order to ensure that the risk level is under
control and tolerable throughout all the phases of the processes and to meet the assigned HSE
objectives.

The Action Plan should also prioritise actions according to the severity of the risk and should
assign individual responsibilities for actions to be undertaken.

Establish methods to monitor the effectiveness of the HSE Action Plan.

The Organisation should establish methods for monitoring of required risk reduction measures to
ensure both the effectiveness and timeliness of their implementation.
Effective risk reduction measures and follow-up require visible commitment of management and
on-site supervision, as well as the understanding and ownership by operations personnel. HSE
Plan should include, but not be limited to:
• Clear definition of roles, responsibilities and authority for key personnel for HSE
Management;
• Training of new and/or temporary employees upon hiring;
• Periodic training and awareness programs for existing employees;
• Continuous monitoring of activities and results to demonstrate the effectiveness of
systems implemented to meet the Company’s policy and the identified
requirements.
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 18 of 98

Review periodically HSE Action Plans to cover new activities or changes in the existing
processes.

The Organisation should perform periodic reviews of Action Plans to ensure the fulfilment of the
HSE objectives.

This review should in addition be performed, if one of the following condition occurs:
• the activities being carried out by the Organisation have, or are going to be
changed;
• the risks associated with the activities changed, or are going to;
• new projects start in new areas;
• new or amended legislation is issued;
• an organisational restructuring takes place.

The Organisation should maintain procedures for planning and controlling changes, both
permanent and temporary, in people, plant, processes and procedures, to avoid adverse
consequences.
The procedures should be suitable to address the (HSE) issues involved, according to the nature
of the changes and their potential consequences, and should address:
• Identification and documentation of the proposed change and its implementation;
• Responsibility for reviewing and recording the potential hazards from the change or
its implementation;
• Documentation of the agreed change and implementation procedures;
• Authority for approval to implement the proposed change.

Procedures should describe how the Organisation will interpret, and assess the implications of
new or amended legislation and how revised regulatory requirements are to be incorporated in
the (HSE IMS).

The Organisation should establish separate plans for the (HSE) management of new operations
(relating, for example, to acquisitions, developments, products, services and processes), or
modified operations where the modification introduces significantly different (HSE) concerns, to
define:
• (HSE) objectives to be attained;
• mechanism for their achievement;
• resources requirements to achieve (HSE) objectives;
• procedures for dealing with changes and modifications as projects proceed;
• corrective mechanisms, which should be employed, should the need arise, how they
should be activated and their adequacy should be measured.

B-2.1 Identifying and collecting the whole legislative chart, permits

and legal regulations

Establish and maintain a procedure to identify applicable laws, codes standards, rules,
regulations, etc… as the basis of the activities that are performed and of authorisations that are
necessary for the purpose.

The Organisation should identify and update systematically and regularly all legal requirements
and the ones which may have some HSE impacts and/or may influence the activities in the
different phases of every oil & gas exploitation venture.

This systematic examination should precisely include the compliance as a minimum with:
• all relevant applicable legislation and associated codes of practice;
• all current and applicable regulations and laws;
• all European Directives, rules and standards with reference to the activities of the
Company;
• the international instruments and their interpretation, wherever the Company operates in
the world;
• all applicable laws in force in the countries in which each Company operates;
• all requirements of the reference standards;
• the requirements subscribed by the Company and the others to which the Company itself
subscribes;
• the applicable requirements to the above, and the requirements of subscribed agreements.

Prepare and organise a list of applicable laws, codes, regulations, rules etc according to items
such as:

• Environment:
− Water
− Air
− Wastes
− Soil, etc.
• Occupational Health;
• Industrial Safety;
• Health and Safety of public (community);
• Radiation Protection;
• Security;
• Quality etc.
Eni S.p.A.

Organise a list of authorisations and relevant requirements

Set up, maintain and update a list of the authorisations and of the relating, possible and acquired
prescriptions (or to be acquired for new installations) for the activities of each installation of
competence.

Identification of the applicable requirements.

Such interpretation requires expert and possible assistance by a lawyer.

Besides this involves that, with the aim of realising the compliance with the above and in order
to develop and base responsible laws, regulations and standards on sound science and cost-
benefit principles, to consider risks, costs, benefits and effects on energy and product supply,
and to understand and develop HSE management and practice, the Company should work with:
• suitable Health, Safety, Security, Social Accountability, Environment, Quality
Management and Radiation Protection Units;
• Legal Affairs Office;
• government agencies;
• relevant enforcement agencies;
• industry groups;
• external bodies.

Implementation of procedures to ensure respect and control of requirements.

Procedures should consider:


• Establish the steps to be performed (calendar of planned actions; detailed procedures for
collection analysis; review of samples; limits imposed by law and more restricted limits
defined by Company to ensure law limits are satisfied etc.);
• Responsibility for verification of respect of the requirements;
• Actions in case of non-conformance and situations which are regarded as offences to law
(how to manage documentation, how to react to external requests etc.).

Make available to the line management the interpretation of the applicable laws and rules and
outline procedures to be followed.

Procedures should be further developed by line management if more details are necessary and to
establish who is in charge of activating the procedure.

The diffusion of relevant information on the above and on updating should be realised by:
• recording statutory requirements and codes applicable to the (HSE) aspects of both
Company’s and Eni-Agip Division’s operations, products and services;
• communicating at defined intervals such updating information both to Company and Eni-
Agip Division personnel.

The Organisation should prepare a procedure to ensure the recording of all statutory
requirements and codes applicable to the HSE aspects of its operations, all regulations, the plans
for the renewal of the authorisations etc.

Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 22 of 98

B-2.2 Reviewing and updating the legislative framework

Establish procedures for systematic identification and review of variations of laws, rules,
standards, etc

When modifications or issue of new applicable laws occurs, it is necessary to recognise them
and evaluate their impacts on all the activities of Company.

A procedure is required for establishing periodical review of the existing state of authorisation.

Company should ensure a systematic contact with the Local Administration and with the
Governmental Control Agencies.

Maintain an appropriate register of the applicable legislation

It is necessary to formally record and file the legislative framework in a dedicated register to be
maintained at Company level. This legal archive should include as a minimum:
• the applicable legislative body;
• the identified reference standards requirements;
• the authorisations and permits framework, and the relevant renewal programs;
• the monitoring and surveillance plans to ensure control and respect of the requirements;
• the communications and information transmittals within the Company and Eni-Agip
Division;
• the communications, mails and formal acts with the Local Administration and the
government/enforcement agencies.

A section or a partial replication of the register should be installed at the operation centres and
sites, in which only the pertinent records, authorisations and data are filed, maintained and
periodically up dated as necessary.

The use of a local archive system at the operative sites helps to:
• ensure that working personnel be aware of the specific requirements to comply with;
• improve the control and respect of the defined surveillance and monitoring plans;
• plan the renewals of the expiring authorisations.

B-3.1 Identification and definition of HSE objectives and targets

Establish and maintain procedures to define detailed HSE objectives and targets at relevant
levels of the Organisation

The Organisation should define and set up detailed HSE objectives and targets, in line with Eni-
Agip Division objectives assigned to the Geographical Area, and include them in short and long
term plans.
HSE objectives should include aspects specific to HSE and should be set annually as a minimum,
taking into account the following:
• Company HSE Policy,
• Eni-Agip Division strategic objectives,
• stakeholders expectations,
• identified HSE risks in the activities,
• operational and business requirements (e.g. the legal and political environment in which the
Company operates).

The objectives should clearly demonstrate the effective commitment of the Organisation to
operate for the sustainable development, the respect of all applicable requirements and the
employment of the best industrial practice by means of:
• minimisation of environmental impacts (harmful discharges, emissions, wastes, etc.) from
operative activities (involving Company, Contractors and stakeholders), also exceeding
legislative requirements,
• efficient use of energy and natural resources,
• minimisation of accidental losses (e.g. injuries, equipment damages, product losses, etc.),
• promotion and set up of joint agreements with stakeholders to pursue specific HSE targets
• support R&D programmes relevant to Company’s HSE needs.

The objectives should be:


• formally assigned and documented,
• clearly defined, realistic and achievable, also taking into account for next future available
technologies.

HSE objectives should be cascaded down and deployed appropriately throughout the
Organisation at relevant levels.
Where possible, site-dedicated or project specific HSE objectives should be set, based on
Company ones with applicable financial targets included in operating budgets.

Individual tasks and targets should be defined for personnel and positions to which are assigned
HSE critical activities (e.g. managers, supervisors), or be incorporated in individual job
descriptions.
These individual objectives should be derived from the shared Company HSE objectives.

B-3.2 Definition and selection of performance indicators and criteria

Establish and maintain procedures to set performance criteria for critical activities and tasks,
which stipulate in writing the acceptable standard for their performance

The Organisation is committed to planning, allocating, and evaluating work carried out by teams
or individuals, to achieve its objectives safely and effectively.
The performance management should be achieved by:
• ensuring that everyone involved in Company work has a clear understanding of the business
objectives and priorities, particularly the relationship between HSE objectives with
commercial and operational activities;
• setting and updating work targets for teams and individuals based on business and HSE
objectives;
• planning work to make the most effective use of people’s abilities;
• allocating work to people in terms of the results expected;
• identifying performance issues which may affect the achievement of business and HSE
objectives;
• establishing suitable performance criteria and indicators for identified critical activities and
tasks;
• giving feedback to individuals on their performance against the results obtained.

The Organisation should identify and maintain meaningful performance criteria and indicators at
all levels.
Performance criteria and indicators are the main technique, along with audits and management
review, to establish the degree to which objectives set out in the HSE IMS are achieved.
Typical world-wide accepted performance indicators for HSE matters are:
• Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF),
• Total Reportable Case Frequency (TRCF),
• Injury Severity,
• Total Reported Sickness Absence,
• Total New Cases of Occupational Health,
• Incident Total and Potential,
• Emergency Shut Down (ESD) Trips and Alarms,
• Planned Discharges,
• Unplanned Discharges (Environmental accidents).

Performance indicators should be issued according to the specific objectives assigned within
HSE Plans.
This set of criteria should constitute written standards for management performance in HSE
programme, setting out “who does what, and when or how often”.

The Organisation should regularly monitor performances through line management


communication (individual or collective).

B-3.3 Review of HSE objectives and performance criteria

Review periodically the objectives and performance standards criteria in the perspective of
continual improvement and further compliance with growing Organisation expectations

Progress in achieving HSE objectives should be reported and recorded at management meetings at
least monthly, and communicated through the line management.
Such achievements should be reported to the Geographical Area of Eni-Agip Division.
The objectives and performance criteria should be periodically reviewed (typically at the
management review) to ensure that they:
• are still reflecting the requirements of the HSE Policy and management programmes,
• have been reached totally and effectively, or
• have to be modified, re-addressed or renewed to better achieve the targets.

The Organisation should ensure that the results of these assessments and the effects of these
controls and reviews would be considered when setting its objectives.

B-4.1 HSE Management Programme

Establish and maintain, within the Organisation’s overall work programme, plans for achieving
(HSE) objectives and performance criteria.

The Organisation, with the aim to ensure the effective implementation of the Policy, the
strategic objectives and targets, should prepare and issue a HSE Management Programme
document, that should:
• be approved, endorsed and signed by the Senior Management, typically at the
commencement of the year;
• set out a programme for the implementation and achievement of the defined Organisation’s
HSE targets;
• identify specific actions in order of their priority to the Organisation, dealing typically with
individual processes, projects, products, services, sites or facilities within a site.

The HSE Management Programme should be formalised and distributed according to line
management and relevant responsibilities, and should take into account factors such as:
• the overall goals of the HSE Management System and the Policy;
• the designated responsibilities and authorities in charge for the achievement of the
objectives at relevant functions and levels of the Organisation;
• the allocated resources (human, physical, financial) required to effectively implement the
programme(s);
• the premises for the implementation of departmental HSE programmes and for establishing
individual tasks and targets, which should then be agreed with individuals as part of their
annual performance appraisal;
• the defined schedules by which the targets are to be achieved, detailing activities and
intermediate milestones;
• the actions to motivate and encourage greater workforce involvement in creating,
executing, achieving and improving HSE management and objectives;
• Contractors activities management in perspective of the achievement of defined HSE
objectives and targets;
• performance indicators and controls definition;
• performance measurements, monitoring arrangements and feed-back to personnel involved
in the process;
• any new legislation or codes of practice’s major change that may lead to invalidate or
modify schedule and targets fulfilment;
• technological, operational and organisational change (e.g. new projects, change of roles), in
order to dynamically reflect, review or revise programmes or priorities if necessary;
• performance recording and analysis on a regular basis (e.g. at the management review), to
provide feedback and to identify areas for further actions and improvements.

Contractors HSE programme

When Organisation is prone to use Contractors for processes that may affect HSE objectives,
the Organisation should:
• identify and analyse the processes assigned to Contractors, and address relevant risks;
• ensure steady control and monitoring of Contractors HSE IMS processes, objectives and
targets;
• include objectives in the Contract specifications and clauses, and highlight their importance
in the Contracts awards (e.g. by means of an incentives strategy);
• evaluate performance according to specific criteria and methods (e.g. scoring models).

Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 36 of 98

C-1.1 Definition of HSE organisational structure

Define HSE organisational structure.

The organisation should typically define the structure as:


• General Manager (or equivalent figure) having overall responsibility for the HSE
issues, particularly for respecting the laws,
• Line Managers that have operating responsibility in the application of the HSE
System,
• Company HSE Representative having among other tasks the responsibility for
supporting with technical competence the General Manager.

Identify roles and responsibilities of HSE organisational structure.

The Organisation should identify HSE roles, responsibilities, authorities, accountabilities and
interrelations of personnel who manage, perform and verify activities having an effect on the
risks of the Organisation’s activities, facilities and processes.

Department Line or Functional Managers should:


• implement HSE policy within their area of responsibility;
• have a general responsibility to minimise the risks to the health and safety of personnel and
any environmental impact, by assessing work activities under their control as frequently
and to the degree of depth that the level of risk requires;
• ensure that:
− the work is properly planned and resources allocated;
− appropriate controls are implemented;
− personnel are adequately trained, instructed and supervised;
− HSE information is made available to their staff.

All personnel should:


• have a responsibility to co-operate to ensure that the workplace is safe for everyone who
may be affected by their actions, and to take reasonable care not to do anything, which may
endanger themselves or others, or cause avoidable damage to the environment;
• be responsible to report any unsafe acts or conditions, which they have observed.

Contractors and visitors should be responsible to comply with all HSE procedures and
regulations of the Organisation.

C-1.2 Documentation and communication of HSE responsibilities

Document HSE roles and responsibilities.

Roles and responsibilities should be formally documented and communicated.

In addition, the Organisation should document the HSE responsibilities of all the members of
the Business Unit management in a stand-alone document, so that everyone within the
Organisation is aware of everybody else's HSE responsibilities, not just their own.

Include HSE responsibilities in job description.

The Organisation should include HSE responsibilities in job descriptions for all relevant
personnel and, as a minimum, for all Business Unit managers, so that:
• Business Unit manager should ensure that Organisation's HSE policies are clearly
understood, maintained and not compromised in all aspects of the Company's business;
• Production Manager should ensure that the day by day engineering, maintenance and
production operations at the field fully comply with Eni-Agip Division and Organisation's
HSE standards;
• Procurement and Contracts Manager should ensure that Business Unit contractual
conditions include requirements for standards of HSE protection that fully comply with
Eni-Agip Division and Business Unit policies and legislative requirements;
• Organisation charts should be sufficiently detailed to completely describe the HSE
responsibilities of each key person.

Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 38 of 98

Set up an HSE communication system.

The Organisation should set up an HSE communication system, as mechanism for:


• feeding back lessons learned and other useful information to the workforce;
• getting their input.

An HSE communication system should ensure that employees and contractors:


• are familiar with the HSE issue and legal requirements relevant to their area of work;
• understand the potential impact of the operations and activities, for which they are
responsible, on health, safety and environment;
• are aware of and comply with the relevant HSE sound working procedures;
• co-operate in defining the training programmes and in implementing HSE plans and
procedures;
• take note of all potential hazards to health, safety and environment and promptly report all
accidents, incidents or near misses.

At this scope the Organisation should select the most suitable methods to achieve effective HSE
communications, depending on the size of the Business Unit, the operations being undertaken
and local culture.
More commonly used HSE communications methods are:
a) Notice Boards
The Organisation should make available information to employees and contractors in
dedicated HSE notice boards positioned in every workplace.
b) Meetings
The Organisation should hold periodic HSE meetings on operational sites to ensure an
effective dissemination of information between management and employees at all levels.
c) HSE Committee
The Organisation should establish an HSE Committee, composed of representatives of both
management and the workforce, as forum for proactive discussion on all occupational
Health, Safety, Security and Environmental issues.

C-1.3 Allocation of HSE resources

Allocate necessary HSE resources.

The Organisation should allocate sufficient resources to actuate and control HSE IMS, in terms
of:
• human resources;
• technical competence;
• technologies;
• financial resources.

Resources allocation should include:


• facilities, plant and equipment to meet legislative and regulatory requirements;
• personnel, equipment and infrastructure to respond to and mitigate emergency situations;
• availability of management for HSE audits and reviews;
• resources for new developments.

The allocation of necessary and justified resources for HSE matters is widely regarded by staff
and other interested parties as indicative of Company commitment to HSE policy and
objectives.

Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 41 of 98

C-2.1 Identification of competence requirements

Basis of the competence requirements is the analysis of the activities, to define:


- HSE implications (e.g. hazards and consequences);
- Positions to which are assigned critical activities and tasks for HSE Management

The Organisation should prepare a procedure to:


• carry out this analysis of its activities derived from the Hazards and Effects Analysis
performed for risk management purposes. In such an analysis the HSE implications and
identified the measures to ensure their control would be defined;
• perform the analysis for ordinary, anomalous and exceptional conditions, including
emergencies;
• include activities that are assigned to or involve contractors.

Critical activities are meant to be the ones that involve (as an example) management of major
risks for health and safety of personnel, or that are connected with respect of law requirements,
particularly if consequence may imply degradation of relations with authorities, or stop of the
activity.

The Organisation should:


• review competence requirements in correspondence of modifications of the activities;
• establish periodical review of defined necessary competence, considering modification of
expectancies, of technologies, objectives, etc;
• establish periodical review of personnel competence to ensure adequate competence is
maintained.

Identification of competence for all personnel, with specific requirements for personnel to
which HSE critical activities and tasks are assigned.

The Organisation should:


• identify the necessary competence, acquired through education, training, personal
abilities, skills developed through experience;
• analyse HSE requirements as well as the single Health & Safety, Environment, Quality,
Social Responsibility, Security, Radiation Protection;
• document identified necessity in terms of a “specification” connected to the activities and
tasks, to allow understanding and review when necessary;
• identify content of training courses that may provide the necessary competence;
• include when possible the identified content in the professional training of personnel;
• verify HSE competence is adequate for achievement of Company policy and objectives.

Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 42 of 98

C-2.2 Definition of necessity for training and supply

Necessities of training for the operating personnel

The line management should:


• ensure that adequate competence for the execution of the tasks is maintained;
• perform (with the assistance of HSE manager or equivalent position if necessary) the
systematic definition of training necessities through a periodical review of competence of
personnel and comparison with necessities/objectives.
Indications of above can be derived by:
- modifications of activities, plants, etc.
- modification of regulations;
- modification of contents of the common training programmes for the qualification of
personnel;
- non conformance reports highlighting areas of weakness related to training/awareness
in HSE issues;
- periodical reviews and management reviews in which new objectives, modification of
activities, expectancies by stakeholders (as an example PSA agreement requirements,
expectancies of local communities), etc. have been identified and discussed;
- analyses of HSE competence of personnel and training provided in the previous years;
• provide training through:
- specific courses;
- HSE awareness meetings (or related to one of the HSE aspects)
- specific seminars or conferences.

Seminars and conferences represent a mean for increasing competence of high level personnel
and for enhancing communication with other companies. They may not be subjected to a
systematic planning, being organised by independent organisations.

Analysis of training requirements and inclusion in the budget.

The Organisation should:


• establish a procedure for reporting the identified necessity of training and for the definition
of the budget for personnel training;
• specifically identify the HSE necessities in the budget, to allow accounting of the
expenditure for the HSE issues. The budget should include allowance for attending
seminars and conferences as may be found necessary during the period covered by the
budget.

Planning of training activities.

Once approved and inserted in the budget, the Organisation should:


• plan training activities and give adequate priority in the organisation of the work. Planning
is performed:
- identifying the specific training course (or the content of the course to be required and
purposely designed by course supplier);
- inserting the training period in the activities to be performed by the personnel
interested, in agreement with the organisation unit to which the personnel refer.
Eni S.p.A.
Divisione Agip

Doc. n. 1.3.0.2 Pag. 43 of 98

Management of the training courses

The Organisation should ensure that training courses and awareness sections are subjected to
control actions with reference to:
• Identification of content actually provided to the participants;
• Evaluation of efficiency of organisation and tutors;
• Evaluation of the effectiveness on the preparation of the personnel
• Suggestions for improvement.

If training is provided by Contractors, qualification activities and feed back should be activated
as for any other contract.

Recording of personnel qualification and of training activities provided

The Organisation should:


• set up and maintain a system of records to provide:
- identification of qualification of personnel;
- recording of HSE and professional training activities provided, including reference to
their content.
• agree with Eni-Agip Division HR Dept. the training courses for expatriates.

The system should allow review of the information contained for:


- planning purposes
- overall analyses of competence of the personnel
- monitoring of specific objectives and requirements.

C-2.3 Personnel competence appraisal

Establish procedures for initial recruitment and/or selection of personnel for such activities and
tasks that require a defined competence in HSE issues.
Apply this for Company personnel and for contractors.

The Organisation should:


• carry out appraisal of personnel competence normally when activities or plant are modified,
when selecting new personnel, or when changing the tasks assigned;
• address the following aspects in an appraisal session:
- technical appraisal, to ensure adequate qualification for the execution of the job;
- HSE competence appraisal, to ensure adequate qualification in the specific
management of HSE issues;
- Necessity for additional training in some of the above aspects;
- Conclusions on ability of the person for the position to be assigned.

Additional appraisal of specific attitude of personnel may be required by Human Resources and
Organisation Unit according to Company Rules or for specific positions, and it is not addressed
in this standard.
The term “technical” is used to state the competence for the execution of specific tasks
connected with the position other than related to HSE.

Technical competence appraisal

The Organisation (namely: the competent line manager or equivalent position) should ensure
the evaluation of personnel training and experience about technical aspects, concerning the
tasks to be performed should consider:
• the qualification specified for the job;
• necessity of specific training courses
• siding to expert personnel for a specified period.

HSE competence appraisal

The Organisation (namely: the competent HSE manager or equivalent with the co-operation of
the line manager) should perform HSE competence appraisal for the personnel:
• who operates the HSE Management System;
• whose task has significant HSE implications or could produce significant HSE impacts;

Appraisal concerning the tasks to be performed should consider:


• the qualification specified for the job;
• necessity of specific training courses
• siding to expert personnel for a specified period.

Global assessment

Technical Competence Appraisal and HSE Competence Appraisal converge to a global


assessment of the ability of the personnel to cover the position, subjected if necessary to
specified training or siding.

The Organisation should plan follow up to ensure that the conditions for the training and siding
on the job documented in the assessment are adequately satisfied.

Recording

The Organisation should establish a form reporting the items raised for the appraisal to
document the assessment.

The form should be:


• signed by the competent line manager and HSE manager;
• be stored as a HSE record for a defined number of years (typically 5 years).

• Integrated Policy of the Company;
• legal requirements connected with the activities of the trainees;
• HSE effects connected with the activities of the Company and specifically of the trainees;
• Organisation of the HSE Integrated Management System set up to give assurance of correct
management of risks;
• Manual of the HSE IMS
• Procedures of the HSE IMS specifically connected with the activities of the trainees
• importance of conformances of behaviour, actions, processes, products and services to the

C-5.1 Planning the Operational Control

Conduct activities and tasks according to procedures and work instructions developed at the
planning stage or earlier, in accordance with HSE Policy

Planning the operational control is an essential element of developing and maintaining the HSE
IMS by ensuring risk control strategies and workplace precautions are put in place and
proportionate to the needs, hazards and risks of the Organisation.

The Organisation should:


• carry out expert surveys and systematic assessments to identify and evaluate HSE hazards
and risks associated to the activities, processes and materials. Risk assessment should be an
inherent part of how tasks are planned, to ensure the hazards are identified and risks to
personnel, systems and assets is minimised to a level which is tolerable according to HSE
Policy(ies), standards and regulations. Reference should be made to the risk screening and
management process performed earlier in the planning phase;
• plan how risks arising from work activities are controlled, so that the necessary control
forms and measures can be defined, implemented and put in place before the activities start;
• establish and maintain procedures to ensure design, construction, operations and
maintenance of critical facilities and equipment are suitable for required purpose and
comply with defined criteria such as Company standards and legal requirements;
• review and, wherever necessary, further develop and customise the selected controls and
procedures to match and cover particular risks or critical local situations;
• act for preparing, implementing and controlling written instructions and practices to provide
practical control for activities in which risks have been identified. All executive documents
should be formally issued and controlled over the signatures of an issuing
authority/department and responsible manager;
• provide formal training/briefing sessions for all employees who will be affected by the
introduction of any new or revised procedures and practices. The training sessions should be
held immediately prior to the implementation of new/reviewed documents, and should be
formally recorded together with a list of attendees;
• assure that all workplace instructions, practices and rules are discussed involving
supervisors and employees before finalising and issue;
• systematically review and update all procedures and instructions (e.g. at the management
review), particularly when major changes are made to process or equipment or as a result of
operating experience, in order to assess their effectiveness in addressing the identified HSE
risks or Company requirements;
• provide arrangements to ensure that site and workplace controls are enclosured into notices,
signs and tags and clearly displayed at the key locations (e.g. control rooms, loading points,
etc.).

C-5.2 Design and Construction

Define, plan and implement structured control activities during the project engineering design, in
order to ensure the respect and compliance with HSE Policy and standards

The Organisation should:


• plan the design activities in compliance with Eni-Agip Division and Company procedures
and approved project management standards;
• provide design arrangements (i.e. safety check lists) to identify hazards and measures to
eliminate or mitigate risks, in order to achieve the maximum level of intrinsic safety with
reference to plants, equipment and facilities. Check lists should help to verify the compliance
between design specifications and safety criteria, and the implementation of design changes
or Scope of Work variations imposed by HSE studies and analyses;
• define and establish communication interfaces between Company personnel and, wherever
necessary, design and construction Contractors. Contractors should be qualified and selected
from Eni-Agip Division or Company Vendor’s List;
• define and explicitly highlight in the Design Basis and Premises the applicable rules,
standards and legislation;
• ensure that project documents and data are subjected to formal checks and validation at the
end of each design stage with respect to what declared in the Design Basis and Premises, and
to what resulted from operability and HSE risk assessment studies. This validation activity
should be performed with periodic progress meetings, attended also by Contractors;
• carry out staged HSE reviews during the project life-cycle (e.g. at project milestones or in
presence of planning inconsistencies). Reviews should be documented and should allow
identifying and anticipating potential non-conformances and inadequacies, in order to plan
and implement design modifications and/or corrective actions if needed.
• prepare a set of high-level operative and maintenance procedures (e.g. plant manuals) aimed
at controlling the HSE issues of the project. These procedures should be re-addressed and
well-tuned in the commissioning and start-up phases;

Define, plan and implement structured control activities during the procurement and construction
phase, in order to ensure the respect and compliance with HSE Policy and standards

The Organisation should:


• carry out a risk assessment process on construction phases, in order to identify potential
conditions of hazards increase for existing facilities and ongoing activities (e.g. simultaneous
operations);
• define, wherever necessary, alternative and equivalent HSE management controls and
measures to be implemented during those anomalous conditions, to ensure an acceptable
level of risk;
• define and maintain operational control procedures and instructions to be implemented
during construction activities to manage HSE issues consistently. Conformance between
design requirements and construction activities should be periodically verified with on-site
inspections and documented periodic meetings with Contractors, in accordance to the project
management plan.

situations where their absence could leave to deviations from the Organisation policies and the
objectives

The Organisation should:


• systematically identify hazards and risks arising from routine and non-routine operation
activities;
• set up and implement specific written procedures and formal workplace instructions to
manage the risks arising from the everyday occupational and safety hazards presented by
work activities. The procedures and arrangements to put in place should be (but not limited
to) typically the following:
− Permit to Work system (to be used for the control and co-ordination of all non-routine
or safety critical work activities on the installation and worksites). Daily permit to work
meetings should be held at the worksites to co-ordinate jobs planned with jobs currently
in progress, and recorded on a regular basis;
− Manual Handling instructions (to reduce the likelihood that the manual handling tasks
will cause injury to personnel);
− Hazardous/Chemical Materials management procedure (to provide a risk assessment
and a set of controls or precautions to safely contain and use the substances identified
with material data sheets, contributing to reduce the exposure risks). The risk
assessment and relevant control measures should address PPE requirements and relevant
training, should include also substances provided by contractors, and should be
reviewed periodically to confirm their existing suitability;
− SIMOPS (Simultaneous Operations) procedure, containing instructions and guidance
for installation and worksites management and supervision of concurrent/combined
operations;
− Travel Safety Management (covering land, air and sea), etc.;
• define and put in place additional controls to be established and formally issued to
workplace personnel to mitigate environmentally adverse effects during operations. Such
environmental management controls should involve also Contractors activities, and should
cover (but not limited to) the following matters:
− waste management minimisation, treatment and control (from waste identification and
origin to disposal method and site);
− environmental emissions controls and monitoring programme;
− water discharges management;
− noise pollution control and monitoring programme, etc.;
• develop and ensure formal procedures for each location taking into account the security
issues and the number of workers at the location. Procedures should cover the following
factors:
− pass and access system;
− handling of visitors;
− security of housings and physical assets (e.g. guards and/or alarm systems, inspections
planning, etc.).
• provide a formal HSE Case or booklet, collecting all health, safety and environmental rules
and procedures previously addressed, and put in place a system for updating the rules as
facilities, processes or equipment are changed;
• take precautions that rules, procedures or their extracts are posted in locations that reinforce
their message and purpose, and are checked regularly to ensure they are in good conditions.

• identify and define critical parts/HSE devices (e.g. ESD and PSV, critical
condition/monitoring control equipment, etc.) that, in case of malfunctioning/failure or bad
calibration, may have a significant/major impact on health, safety and the environment;
• establish preventative maintenance criteria and define inspection and testing cycles, taking
into account the type of equipment, HSE criticality, the degree of instrumentation, the
history of equipment and running hours;
• set up and implement an adequate preventative maintenance system; such a system should
be typically on software/computer basis or organised in formally issued written procedures,
instructions and records. The system should hold details of plant/item inventory, long term
maintenance plans and schedules of routine inspections, and maintenance history;
• ensure adequate resources (manning, spare availability) and personnel competencies to
perform efficiently the planned tasks;
• carry out dedicated risk assessments and develop short term work plan when planning non-
routine jobs, in order to put in place additional protection measures to minimise risks to
personnel, assets and the environment;
• maintain and update a records archive of maintenance dates and performed works, including
breakdowns and accidents;
• perform a systematic review and analysis of performed interventions and feed backs (both
planned and on demand, e.g. in case of failure), in order to verify the effectiveness of the
maintenance programme and criteria, and to identify corrective and preventive actions to be
put in place.

D-1.2 Measurement of HSE performances

Develop a set of key performance indicators.

The Organisation should develop a set of key performance indicators as the logical basis for the
setting of HSE targets and driving continuous improvement across operations and for
developing standards of reporting and verification.

Such performance indicators should be:


• simple to identify, collect, measure, understand and use;
• objective, verifiable and reproducible;
• immediate ad consistent indications of the level of performance within identified normal
and abnormal range;
• relevant to the Organisation's activities and operations, and understood by line
management;
• consistent with the Organisation's HSE policy;
• practical, cost-effective and technologically feasible.

Apart from overall HSE performance indicators, the Organisation should establish a set of
specific Health Performance Indicators (HPI) to be used for:
• helping to protect the health of employees and others;
• giving line management a better understanding of the health issues relevant to their
operational responsibility;
• highlighting important health issues and set priorities;
• enabling measurements of performance against predetermined targets;
• maintaining credibility and confidence both within the company and towards the general
public and stakeholders.

The HPI should be basically of two types:


• proactive ones, to monitor exposures (e.g. at work) or other factors (e.g. life style factors),
which may influence health before an illness occurs; examples are:
− health risk assessments completed vs. total population at risk;
− compliance with occupational exposures limits;
− potability of water;
− compliance with company policy for immunisations;
− number of individuals undergoing health surveillance, etc.

• reactive ones, to monitor the consequences of exposures, e.g. incidents, ill health and
evidence of deficient health protection; examples are:
− occupational illness frequency,
− incidence of identified infectious/preventable disease,
− number of medical evacuations,
− sickness absence,
− number of medical re-deployment due to occupational ill health, etc.

The Organisation should communicate throughout the Organisation HSE performance


indicators (both inputs and outcomes).

Measure regularly HSE IMS performances.

The Organisation should measure regularly HSE IMS performances.

Detail and frequency of measurement needs should be establish with reference to risk exposure
and/or performance in order to facilitate subsequent corrective and preventive action analysis.

Collect measures to assess HSE performances.

The Organisation should collect HSE measures throughout the reporting cycle for using them
externally to represent performance in Organisation’s paper and web-based reports, and
internally for performance comparison against target.

The systems of records should include information that allow following the trend of
performances, operating controls and the conformance to objectives and targets of the
Organisation.

D-1.3 Verification of compliance

Establish a procedure to verify the conformance to the applicable rules.

Results of monitoring and measurement activities should be communicated to the Organisation's


responsible for HSE performance analysis.
The Organisation should establish and maintain a documented procedure to periodically verify
the conformance of HSE IMS to the applicable rules.
The Organisation should take into account all the suitable sources of information, such
as:
• HSE and technical internal audits;
• corrective and preventive actions;
• reports on non-conformity;
• accident, near miss and emission reports;
• HSE records;
• process feed-back;
• bench marking reports;
• HSE indicators analysis.

Determine the compliance to applicable rules.

The Organisation should use HSE performance indicators to determine when and what IMS
changes are necessary.

The Organisation should perform statistical analyses of monitoring and measurement data and
should focus the analyses on determining the possible areas of HSE IMS improvement.

The statistical analyses used should depend on the type of data itself and the type of report to be
prepared.

Report the results of monitoring activities.

The Organisation should periodically report the results of monitoring activities in order to show
commitment at the highest level the progress on achievement of HSE targets and objectives.

D-2.2 Implementation of corrective actions

Investigate causes of incidents.


The Organisation should investigate all incidents, including high-potential near-misses, in order
to:
• establish their root cause and identify actions to minimise the chance of recurrence;
• satisfy the Eni-Agip Division requirements for reporting and investigation;
• provide a factual record of the immediate circumstances of the incident;
• identify underlying HSE IMS weakness, which caused the incident.

All the incidents should be investigated at a level, depth and speed appropriate to the
seriousness of the actual or potential consequences.
At this scope, the Organisation should appoint an investigation team, whose size and
composition depends on the particular incident. Major incidents should be investigated by a
multi-function/level team with participation and leadership from outside the Business Unit.
Team members should be properly trained to carry out their task objectively and effectively.

The investigation analysis should comprise:


• review of the incident site and circumstances;
• interview of witnesses;
• examination of equipment and procedures
• analysis of operating conditions, data and other evidence.

The investigation team should prepare a concise, accurate and informative report containing
proposed remedial actions and recommendations to appropriate personnel.

Plan suitable corrective actions.


The Organisation should plan suitable corrective actions, including measures for:
• restoring compliance as quickly as practicable;
• preventing recurrence;
• evaluating and mitigating any adverse HSE effects;
• ensuring satisfactory interactions with other components of the management system, such
as quality management;
• assessing the effectiveness of the above measures.

Review proposed corrective actions.


The Organisation should review all proposed corrective and preventive actions through the risk
assessment process prior to implementation. Any corrective or preventive action taken to
eliminate the causes of actual and potential NC should be appropriate to the magnitude of
problems and commensurate with the HSE risk encountered.
The appropriate department manager should approved the most suitable remedial actions,
ensuring that any recommendations made in the incident report have been carried out.

Implement approved remedial actions.


The Organisation should prepare a follow up programme for the implementation of approved
remedial actions, identifying responsibles, resources and time scale.
The time scale for completion of the corrective action is driven by the risk rating, so that the
most serious problems should be addressed as a high priority.

D-4.4 Management of corrective actions

Implement corrective actions

The Organisation should examine all the non-conformities detected in an audit (both internal
and external, i.e. carried out by Eni-Agip Division) and should propose the most suitable
corrective actions to be taken.

At this scope the Organisation should identify the nature of the problems to avoid correcting
only the effects and not the causes.

This activity should be split in the following steps:


• examination of non-conformity;
• identification of the responsible of the involved process;
• identification of the causes of non-conformity;
• proposal of corrective/preventive actions;
• implementation of corrective actions selected.

Monitor corrective actions

The Organisation should carry on control activities, including internal audits, to monitor the
implementation status of corrective actions up to their closure.
If the effectiveness of corrective actions is not adequate, the Organisation should review them.

Record status of corrective actions

The Organisation should maintain a system to control and monitor all the phases of this process,
recording the status of all the actions implemented.
The corrective actions plan should relevant to external audits should be submitted to Eni-Agip
Division.

Review the effectiveness of corrective actions

At appropriate intervals (e.g. at the Management Review), the Organisation should review the
effectiveness of corrective actions implemented and the performance of HSE system.
