The document discusses managing risks associated with compressed air used offshore. It describes how the Safewell approach works to mitigate invisible safety risks from compressed air, through effective training, safety barriers, and air quality testing units. The approach aims to prevent complacency and protect workers' health by controlling risks from poor quality compressed breathing air.

1. UK – Norway
Oil and Gas Technology Partnership Workshops
‘THERE’S CLEARLY SOMETHING IN THE AIR TODAY’
Presented by Ed Gardyne C.Eng. MInst MC

2. WHAT DO WE DO?
WE MITIGATE BARELY INVISIBLE SAFETY RISKS
TO PREVENT COMPLACENCY

3. SPECIFICALLY?
WE HELP THE OPERATORS & SUB SEA COMPANIES
MANAGE THE LIFE CYCLE RISK OF AUTOMATED DSV’s

4. AND?
WE HELP FABRIC MAINTENANCE COMPANIES MANAGE
THE LIFE CYCLE RISK OF BREATHING COMPRESSED AIR

5. WHY?.....BECAUSE
COMPRESSED AIR IS USED WIDELY OFFSHORE FOR
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AND POOR QUALITY
AIR CAN CAUSE LONG TERM DAMAGE TO HEALTH

6. AND BECAUSE HSE ESTIMATES!
TO POOR QUALITY AIR IN THE WORKPLACE
ACROSS ALL INDUSTRIES

7. AND HERE IS A BREAKDOWN…
NOTE PREVALENCE OF COPD
DUST, GAS, VAPOURS, FUMES

8. CONCERNED? SO WE ARE ALIGNED WITH……..
LEADING OFFSHORE PERSONNEL TO REDUCED RISK

9. AND KILL DINOSAURS
THE ONES WHO SAY:
‘WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE. THERE IS NO RISK’

10. BREATHING FROM COMPRESSED AIR
IS RISKY IF YOU ARE AT THE END OF THE PIPE!
HOW DOES THE
SAFEWELL
HOLISTIC
APPROACH
WORK?

11. BUT EFFECTIVE TRAINING
CREATES AWARENESS, CHANGES THE MINDSET,
REMOVES COMPLACENCY
