Audit Plan
An audit plan for the diving or subsea operation shall be developed. As a minimum the
contractors’ management systems, vessels, plant and equipment shall be audited to
BP and industry standards prior to work commencing.

Information Validation
A system shall be in place to ensure that all information at the worksite is current and
valid. All relevant documents, including their revision status, should be listed in the
bridging document.

Workscopes and Procedures

Workscopes and procedures must be clearly defined prior to commencement of work.
They shall be written with due regard to BP’s expectations, policies and practices.
Uncontrolled

Risk Assessment
All activities including workscopes, generic and specific procedures must be subject to a
formal risk assessment process during the planning phase. The process will identify any
requirement to change the workscope and procedures and/or any mitigating measures
to be applied. The process should employ the diving or subsea contractor’s SMS with
active involvement from all parties whose acts or omissions could adversely affect the
health and safety of persons engaged in the project or could affect plant, equipment or
the environment.

Emergency Response Plan

Response systems and callout procedures must be in place for BP, the diving and
subsea contractor, and other key parties.

Management of Change
The diving and subsea contractor must have a documented system to manage change.
The management of change procedure will define how change is implemented,
who is authorised to approve levels of change and how any appropriate risk reducing
measures are applied.

Bridging Document
No diving or subsea project can commence until an authorised bridging document has
been issued. The bridging document is the interface between BP and other parties
SMSs. It provides a project overview, operational detail for an emergency response and
outlines how the SMS requirements have been met. A separate bridging document will
be required for each phase of a diving or subsea project or major element of work.
Key personnel and response organisations must receive controlled copies.

projects safely shall be developed. This will include HAZID, work control systems,
simultaneous operations review, emergency response and communications.

Risk Assessment
Formal onsite risk assessments must be conducted for all elements of the project
including the review of generic risk assessments, job safety analysis, personnel risk
assessments and routine maintenance activities.

Safety Briefings

Uncontrolled
Briefings on BP expectations, policies and practices are to be given to all personnel
involved in the operations, including marine crew and third parties. A system of general
safety briefings, safety meetings and toolbox talks must be carried out and recorded.
Appropriate site orientation, induction and project specific training that includes site rules
and emergency procedures shall be undertaken to clarify roles, responsibilities and
actions. All personnel should attend the briefings and training, and an attendance register
maintained.

Permit to Work Process

A BP permit to work must be employed when working within a BP BU area
of responsibility. A nominated competent person will act as the BP Performing Authority
and will remain onsite throughout operations. In addition to the BP permit,
a vessel Permit to Work System may also apply.

Progress Reporting
A process of regular communications between the key parties shall be in place to report
project progress, including safety, operational and technical issues.

Accident Investigation and Reporting

An agreed system of accident, incident and near miss reporting must be implemented to
ensure that legislative, BP and contractors reporting requirements are met.
Major incidents are to be investigated by a multi-functional team with independent
participation and leadership.

4.4 Measuring and Improving

To assess the performance of the project, or a phase of work, it is essential that a
measurement and improvement process is in place and the project details recorded in a
close out report. This will allow lessons learnt to be carried forward to other projects or
phases of work. The following topics should form the structure of the closeout report:

HSE Overview
HSE data including a summary of accident, incident and near miss reports from BP and
subsea contractors or other parties associated with the project shall be collated. The
conduct and culture of contractors and other parties should be reviewed and issues
raised in order to improve standards and compliance with requirements.

Operational Issues
Uncontrolled

Information on activities including, but not limited to:

• Chronology of the project
• Performance of contractors and plant
• Procedures and work processes
• Logistics and communications
• Project documentation
These should be analysed and actions recorded.

Technical Issues
As-built and closeout documentation will be used to revise BP documentation. Relevant
documentation must be updated immediately if any changes affect diving and subsea
operational safety.

Commercial
An itemised outline breakdown of costs and expenditure should be recorded for
reference and audit purposes.

Closeout Report and Meeting

The closeout report and meeting are central to the measuring and improving stage. The
objectives of the closeout meeting will be to:
• Review the final closeout report and corrective action requirements
• Review the project and its final status
• Highlight any lessons learned

Share Lessons Learned

Lessons learned from the project or phase of work must be shared and,
where appropriate, distributed to the wider diving and subsea industry.
