THE POWER OF PROCEDURES: EVALUATING AND ENHANCING OIL & GAS SAFETY

H&P LifeBelts were developed to highlight those activities with the highest likelihood to result in a SIF. Establishing and honoring buffer zones and barricades is an example. We know that tubulars being transported with the forklift represent a significant SIF exposure, so we enforce a buffer zone around the forklift equal to 15 feet, or the length of the tubular, whichever is greater. LifeBelt Success Checks enables supervisors with the ability to continually assess their crew's awareness and understanding of buffer zone and barricade procedures like these.
