WHAT IS HSE CASE?
▪ An HSE case is a document that
demonstrates that there are controls in
place to manage major risks associated
with an asset or activity and that those
risks have been reduced to ALARP.
▪ It is a document that describe how the
major risks involved in the operation are
managed.

WHAT IS HSE CASE? Cont’d
◼ A documented body of evidence that
provides a demonstrable and valid
argument that a system is adequately safe
for a given application and environment
over its lifetime.

What is an HSE case? Cont’d
◼ A structured argument, supported by a
body of evidence that provides a
compelling, comprehensive and valid case
that a system is safe for a given application
in a given operating environment.

What is an HSE case? Cont’d
◼ A safety case regime is an objective-based
regime whereby legislation sets broad safety
objectives and the operator, who accepts
direct responsibility for the ongoing
management of safety, develops the most
appropriate methods to achieve those
objectives.
Government of Western Australia

What is an HSE case? Cont’d
◼ A safety case is a document:
➢ produced by the operator of a facility which
➢ Identifies the hazards and risks.
➢ Describes how the risks are controlled.
➢ Describes the safety management system in
place to ensure the controls are effectively
and consistently applied.
7
PRINCIPLES OF HSE CASE
A safety case is built upon the following three
principles.
◼ Those who create risks are responsible for controlling
those risks – HSE case must be produced by the
operator.
◼ Safe operations are achieved by setting and achieving
goals rather than by following prescribed rules –
Describes risk and control
◼ All risks must be reduced such that they are below a
threshold of acceptability – OH&S-MS
◼ Workforce must be involved.
◼ Must be scrutinized by an independent regulator.

APPLICATION
• HSE Case are generally prepared for large,
complex industrial or technical systems such
as:
1. Nuclear power plants,
2. Military and civilian aviation and
3. Onshore and offshore oil and gas
installations

HSE Critical Activities
❑ A safety critical task/activity is one that, if
done incorrectly due to a mistake, absence or
failure, is a serious risk to safety.
❑ Competency requirements for the staff to
carry out the task and the supervisors should
be made clear. Where there are gaps, they
should be sent for training.

Use of the HSE Case
Serves as reference document for;
1. Management
2. Managers and supervisors
3. New staff at all levels
4. Contract holders
5. Incident investigation, reporting and follow-
up.
6. Training tool.
26
Purpose of HSE Case
◼ Defense in law
◼ Business case.
◼ Ensure injury-free workforce and workplace.
27
Ten Points to a Good HSE Case
1. Use what you have to get what you are
missing.
2. Qualitative risk approaches can identify most
improvements.
3. Record all HSE risks- overlook nothing.
4. Never neglect major accident events
5. Quantify risk levels (QRA)
6. There is no easy formula for demonstrating
risks is ALARP
28
Ten Points to a Good HSE Case cont’d
7. Involve those concerned and possibly those
affected by the operation.
8. Don’t just analyse risk, understand how to
manage them.
9. Live by the HSE case.
10. Action speaks louder words!
29

MANAGEMENT OF HSE
IN CONTRACT
Presented By:
B. Adam-Otite fispn, pmassp, mnitad
35
Why manage HSE in Contract?
◼ To achieve the same or higher performance.
◼ To ensure effective application of the
elements of HEMP.
◼ The ensure awareness of roles and
responsibilities by all concerned.
◼ Ensure agreement of monitoring parameters.
36
Goal of Managing HSE in Contract
1. Improve workplace HSE performance by
assisting the contractors in administering an
effective HSE program for the contract.
2. Assist contractors in administering HSE
programs which are consistent with the
clients expectations.
3. Facilitate the interface of contractor’s
activities with those of the company, other
contractors and subcontractors.
37
Phases of Contract Management
◼ Planning
◼ Prequalification
◼ Selection
◼ Pre-mobilization
◼ Mobilization
◼ Execution
◼ De-mobilization
◼ Close out
38
Planning
◼ The objectives of this phase are to describe
the work and to assess the HSE risks
associated with the work.
◼ The contracting strategy is to be selected on
the nature and size of the work, and the risk
involved.
◼ The company may also specify HSE
requirements to be met.
◼ The company makes an initial assessment of
the HSE risks involved in execution of the
work.
39
Area of Risk Coverage
◼ Nature of the work - materials to be utilised
◼ Location of the work
◼ Potential for exposure to worksite hazards (H2S,
Asbestos, etc.)
◼ Potential exposure to hazards for all personnel
involved in the activities
◼ Potential consequences of incidents
(environmental damage, delays of project
development, delay in production operations,
legal claims)
◼ Exposure to negative publicity.
40
Pre-qualification
◼ The objective of the Pre-qualification phase is
to screen potential contractors to establish
that they have the necessary experience,
capability and financial viability to undertake
the activities in question safely and in an
environmentally sound manner.
◼ The company must show capability to
manage all elements of HSE-MS.
41
Pre-qualification is the most important
screening tool for the selection of
contractors. All contractors that are pre-
qualified should be fully capable of
managing all HSE aspects of the job.
42
Selection
◼ The objective of the selection phase is to
assess whether the HSE Plan and the Bid
Evaluation Criteria have been met and to
select, where necessary on the basis of
clarification meetings, the successful bidder.
◼ An important element that the contractor
should provide is their process for developing
a written HSE Plan commensurate with the
level of risk involved in the work.
43
Pre-mobilisation activities
◼ The objectives here are to ensure that the
relevant aspects of the contract risk
assessment and any other HSE aspects of
the contract are communicated and
understood by all parties prior to
implementation of the contract.
44
Mobilisation
◼ The objectives of this phase are to assure
that the HSE Plan is modified, if warranted,
and communicated to all relevant personnel,
both company and contractor.
45
Mobilization Activities
◼ Local kick-off meeting(s)
◼ Mobilisation of contract staff and equipment
◼ Finalise the contractor’s HSE Plan.
◼ Commence induction and site-specific
training.
◼ Hold mobilisation HSE audit.
46
Execution
◼ The objectives of this phase are to assure
that the work to be performed is conducted
according to the HSE Plan agreed upon, and
that additional HSE needs, identified during
the work, are properly addressed.
47
De-mobilisation
◼ The objectives of this phase are to identify
the hazards associated with demobilisation
and identify and implement controls to
minimise the risks.
48
Final evaluation and close-out
◼ The objectives of this phase are to conduct a
joint evaluation of the contractor’s and
company’s HSE performance and to provide
feedback to the contractor(s) and company
which can be a reference for future work.
