VISION QHSE System
VISION, Wavefield Inseis’s QHSE Management System is based upon an enhanced OGP model as outlined in their publication “Guidelines for the development and application of health, safety and environmental management systems". An addition to the model includes deliberately raising the profile of sub-contractor management and promoting it to a major element. It is also recognised that a company’s Quality Management System cannot stand alone as a separate entity but that its processes must underpin all other management systems. Wavefield Inseis are therefore committed to developing an integrated Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Management System which is living, evolving and transparent.
Leadership and Commitment A commitment of necessary resources, whether time, budget or simply a management presence, is promised by all of Wavefield Inseis’s senior management. Regular meetings are convened for performance review and for the formal close out of observation cards, corrective action reports and suggested improvements. A central QHSE database, with real-time synchronisation between all work sites and onshore ensures that Wavefield Inseis’s top management are kept fully in touch with all operations. A digital QHSE handling system is a key tool for sustaining a transparent safety culture which encourages active participation from all employees and which promotes individual responsibility and accountability. Policy and Objectives Organisation and Resources All of Wavefield Inseis’s employees are responsible for acting with consideration for QHSE matters and its managers are held to the appropriate level of accountability to ensure that QHSE responsibilities are clearly communicated. Wavefield Inseis’s staff participates in career-long training that keeps pace with ever-changing industry QHSE standards. Training is delivered via separate formal courses, computer-based modules or on-the-job from supervisors. We are committed to developing a unique blend of competencies that service our niche offerings. Fit-for-purpose documentation and intuitive IT systems are some of the techniques the Wavefield Inseis organisation uses to communicate QHSE within. Our QHSE notification system is fully integrated into the company email system and is fully web-enabled, allowing active client and sub-contractor participation without the need for specialised software. For any organisation to continually improve, its Quality Management System must reliably capture lessons learnt and ensure their use for next time. Our portfolio of services is diverse, so a Project approach is required. Techniques outlined in ISO 10006 (Quality Management – Guidelines to quality in project management) are adopted. Contractor and Supplier Management Each sub-contractor is pre-qualified before job start-up through tools including inspections and audits. Whenever possible, these are carried out at the sub-contractor’s base. Audits are performed against the sub-contractor’s own QHSE management system and against industry standards. In all circumstances, this is designed to have a positive and proactive outcome for both parties, irrespective of final pre-qualification. Interfaces between Wavefield Inseis and our sub-contractors are clearly defined, understood and documented before any job start-up. Particular emphasis is given to inclusive risk management and contingency planning. Regular management reviews are held between Wavefield Inseis and our sub-contractor to address changes and continuously improve interfaces. The performance of sub-contractors is made objective by agreeing upon documented performance indicators or defined project goals before job start-up. QHSE goals are communicated to all stakeholders. Systems are implemented to ensure that actual performance verses agreed goals can be delivered to both parties in a timely manner during the work. Risk Management Integrated risk management software modules allow Wavefield Inseis’s managers to systematically identify, evaluate, prevent, mitigate, and record hazards in structured registers linked to specific work sites, and specific tasks or activities. Planning and processes Projects are managed using best-practice techniques adopted from the ISO 10006 and PMBOK Standards with special attention on interfacing with other organisations to ensure that competency gaps are avoided. In a complex work environment, knowledge is secured within processes, procedures and work-instructions. Any procedures with HSE implications are regularly reviewed and those that are HSE critical are practised (drilled). All QHSE procedures are captured in our central electronic database using formal approval workflows. As a major purchaser of new equipment, Wavefield Inseis must assess its fit-for-purpose suitability for HSE requirements as well as for its technical specification. Preventive maintenance systems are used to keep equipment in good order. HSE-specific equipment is frequently tested, certified and logged by on-site inspections. Change happens: sometimes planned but most-often not. Management of change procedures are essential to capture new knowledge during projects. Emergency response procedures, administered and distributed in a controlled digital environment ensure that contingency situations are always prepared for, with controlled documentation synchronised across work sites worldwide. Implementation and Monitoring An incident reporting process is the life-blood of any management system. It is recognised that time is at a premium at the worksite yet good-quality reports are essential. Intuitive report wizards ease the conflict and still capture information for review. Unsafe act auditing (“Observation cards”) are another efficient method of recording many incidents. Investigations are carried out for serious incidents. Recommendations and root causes are captured in the electronic database. A single incident may give rise to many corrective actions. Corrective actions may also be the result of a proactive quality audit on processes. Tracking continual improvement through appropriate handling of remaining CAR’s is carried out in the QHSE database after each remedial work and review. This methodology highlights the logic of maintaining a single, combined Q,H,S & E Management System. Another method to drive continual improvement is via inspections. This simple yet powerful technique generates inclusiveness when performed via cross-functional audits, for example. All QHSE records are maintained within the database, which is replicated across multiple sites for security and autonomy in remote areas. The regular publication of statistical analysis of key QHSE KPI’s raises the internal awareness of performance against baseline objectives and against industry trends. Audit and Review Dedicated management review meetings are held at all sites, including Wavefield Inseis’s headquarters. With consensus, major steering changes in the QHSE MS are only then be made to Policies, etc. so that the management system as a whole continues to evolve. The bottom line is being able to actively demonstrate that at each moment of every workday, Wavefield Inseis’s personnel and sub-contractors remain aware with an active QHSE consciousness. It’s a frame of mind that helps them return home safely, with improved health and having performed a job well done with no environmental harm.
