HES Superint. at Alvheim, Marathon Oil
Background for the work (2010)
• We are not good enough as an industry
• An average of 10 people are injured every year by dropped objects
• A collective effort was needed to develop good measures for achieving
a permanent improvement

Goal and methodology
Goal
Turn the negative trend for dropped objects
Norwegian Oil and Gas’ goal: The number of dropped objects should
be reduced by 50% from the 2008 number by the end of 2011
- 2008 – 167 (50% reduction equals 84)
- 2009 – 192 (up 15%)
- 2010 – 158 (down 5%)
- 2011 – 101 (the number is adjusted)
- 2012 – 178
- 2013 – 80
(end July)
Methodology
Bring qualified personnel together in a work group with the mandate to
propose effective measures to the oil industry
The gas leak reduction project has been used as model

Be visible.
Have we reached our goal?
We have reached our goal in terms of reversing the negative trend, but not
achieved a 50% reduction from the 2008 number
• This is still positive, taking into account:
• aging facilities
• a number of new facilities have been started up
• the frequency of dropped objects declined from 6.3 in 2011 to 3,6
in 2012
• YTD 2013 dropped object frequency is 2,7
• Continued attention on dropped object is needed

What has the work group done?
2010
- Written to the industry requesting good ideas
- Proposed a list of measures for the companies
- Proposed a list a common measures for the industry
- Organized two seminars
2011
- Feedback received from the companies
- Worked on common industry measures
- Began work on a film/training package
2012
- MSc thesis – assessing factors affecting the risk related to dropped
objects
- Completed film/training package
- Organized project close-out seminar

10.
Strengthen processes for work planning, execution and completion
Continue work to promote risk understanding
Review internal company training systems
Company requirements concerning dropped objects must be communicated
Establish illustrated check lists to make requirements visual
Implement check lists for dropped objects in the work order system
Review internal procedures to improve quality
Review/update risk assessments to identify possible “creeping changes”
Participate in an industry “campaign” to remove unnecessary objects above ground
Review to ensure that
safety equipment for use above ground is readily available
a maintenance programme is established for equipment and tools to be used above ground
a sufficient amount of barrier- material is available
11.

Regular inspections – topic for management inspections
Review routines for establishing barriers
Plan inspections before bad weather
Work/safety meetings at worksites to review this project
8
Measures proposed for the industry
1.
Implementing dropped objects in four-year basic safety training refresher
course
2. Establish system for updating training programmes and curricula
3. Video which visualises the risk associated with dropped objects
4. Make best practice visible to contractors
5. Establish process for regular updating best practice handbook for
preventing dropped objects
6. Continue work on dropped object statistics
7. Introduce a signature field for dropped objects on work permits
8. Carry out drop tests to establish requirements for securing tools
9. Prepare an industry standard to reduce the number of/eliminate open
waste containers
10. Identify “old technology” equipment
11. Establish a dedicated website on dropped objects

MSc thesis – Identify factors that affect risk
for dropped objects by Kirsten Marie Leiros
Five factors that influence risk related to dropped objects have been
identified:
•Risk assessment/understanding
•Work culture
•Procedures/routines
•Maintenance
•Inspections
10
Analyis of incidents reported to the RNNP, 2008-11
Dynamic incidents (518): incidents which result from a human activity
Static incidents (212): incidents unaffected by human activity
Unknown (210): rejected incidents where the causal factors cannot be identified

What measures are effective?
Work on the list of measures for the industry. Most companies have still a way to go..
Integration of dropped objects in the overall management system
• investigations
• reporting and follow-up after incidents (not classifying away)
• training
• communication of experience
• focus on potential dropped objects
Good traditional HSE work
• involvement of everyone in the organization
• starting by obtaining ownership by management
• continuous attention on the topic
• use time on the topic
Clear requirements towards contractors
• audits and supervision
• requirements in contracts
13
An important question
•
Are there a common factor or root cause for dropped objects?
• The answer was yes – lack of compliance/adherence
• We accordingly began to work on measures to improve
compliance/adherence
•
Feedback from the questionnaire
• A clear desire for better training on and knowledge
14
Why is this work important?
1) Reducing the number of dropped objects should be a simple
issues to handle
2) If we fail to succeed with such a simple topic, will we be
prepared to deal with more complex issues?
15
The dropped objects project was finalized in 2012, but
attention will continue to be paid through Working
Together for Safety and Norwegian Oil and Gas’
commitment to improved personal safety on the
Norwegian continental shelf.
