Resource Management

Organizational Structure & Responsibilities

The organization structure and field crew or site-specific structure will be clearly posted and clearly understood by all members assigned to the location. Visitors to any area of operations should know who they are reporting to or who is responsible for the crew's well-being and safety. It shall be made clear that all staff will be held responsible for their own actions. Responsibilities should be clearly outlined, and the boundaries of jobs clearly identified. Responsibilities of line managers will also include risk and hazard management, where client supervisors will support all crew positive intervention, where a hazard has been identified, and as a result will pose a serious risk to personnel, equipment, or the environment, if the immediate task is not halted. Job descriptions will be given to all staff who will be exposed to any form of hazard, and through their actions, create a risk. The job description will clearly outline what the individual is responsible for and where accountability lies.

Resources

All resources that are beneficial to the HSE performance of the crew will be thoroughly managed. The process of distribution of PPE, ground protection, fire extinguishers, fire alarms, and other such items will be clearly understood and followed. The issuance of other auxiliary safety or protective equipment should be linked in with other areas of the HSE-MS, such as to permit to work and risk management. Vehicle and driver monitoring units will be managed accordingly and as per journey management planning. Other resources such as personnel databases, equipment databases, or contractor lists should be kept current and up to date and must be tied into other mechanisms to be fully functional and operative. Personnel and staffing levels will be managed to ensure that the operation runs safely, productively, without adverse effects on-field staff. Equipment will be in line with Asset Integrity requirements, customer requirements, and the SIPPAR PMP (Preventative Maintenance Plan).

Competence

The understanding of a need for training and monitoring of competency levels is best demonstrated through a site-specific matrix that will outline the required tasks of an operation, hazards involved, potential and residual risk levels, the training and skill required, the level of the candidate to execute the task, additional or site-specific training where required, and the review period. All operations belonging to SIPPAR shall maintain a competency database and files where individuals training records are maintained. It is also recommended that all crews display a training matrix that outlines what is required by each key person on the location. Where the use of specialist equipment is required, a list of competent personnel allowed to operate the equipment must be posted in the equipment's vicinity. Competency should also include understanding the SIPPAR and site-specific procedures that should be available in the major languages spoken. Training is considered a primary and most important step to nurturing a competent workforce. Normally competency will be measured by the individuals:

• Experience current and past with documented proof
• Qualifications
• Proven ability
