STEP 3: Identify controls and mitigation measures
Select, evaluate, and implement appropriate measures to reduce,
HEMP SYSTEM or eliminate risks. Risk reduction measures include those to
1. Identify prevent, or control incidence (i.e. reducing the probability of
2. Assess occurrence) and to mitigate effects (i.e. reducing the

4. Recover escalation of developing abnormal situations and to lessen adverse
effects on HSE. Risk reduction measures also include recovery
preparedness measures, which address emergency procedures as
well as restoration and compensation procedures to recover.

and Strategic Objectives. Performance standards at all levels must
meet the criteria set in the HSE Case, which in turn must comply
with the Company's HSE Management System.

STEP 5: Record Hazards and Effects, controls and mitigation

measures
Record all those hazards and effects identified as significant in
relation to the screening criteria in on of the following documents:
 HSE MS Activities Catalogue
 HSE Activity Specification Sheets
 Hazards and Effects Register
 HSE Critical Operating Procedures
 Manual of Permitted Operations (MOPO)

These documents will then be included in Parts 3 and 5 of the HSE

MS and HSE Case.

HSE CASE

 Performing pressure testing on pressure control equipment and

valve fails and hits someone. Person is injured.
 The first four actions you would likely take are:
a) Sound alarm, stop pressure test, and shut in flow
b) Attend to casualty
c) Implement emergency response plan (ambulance,
EMS, Stars air ambulance) depending on severity
of injury
d) Assist with a full investigation and report

RISK MATRIX
 First look at worst-case consequence.
- Valve flying off choke (Fatality - 4)
- Slipping on ice (Minor Injury - 2)
 Have to look at worst case, and then look at the likelihood of the
potential consequence occurring, NOT the likelihood of the
hazard being released.
 Example:
- Valve flying off choke (Has occurred in industry - B)
- Slipping on ice (Happens several time a year - D)
 Therefore, the final risk matrix rating would be:
- Valve flying off choke (B-4)
- Slipping on ice (D-2)

HEMP PROCEDURE
 HEMP is to identify hazards, assess risks, control, and
recovery.
 The hazard is not the valve flying off, or the ice the person slips
on, it's the pressure in the line and the person walking. The
threat is what will release the hazard. For example:

 Threats for releasing the pressure:

- Corrosion of metal
- Design flaw (pressure testing too high)
- Improper installation procedures
- Improper test fluid
- Improper metallurgy of valve

 Barriers to prevent hazard from being released

- QA&QC
- Metallurgy program
- Proper pressure test program
- Qualified contractors performing tests
- Worker competence
- Proper inspection procedures
- Proper pre-test inspection procedures

 Controls to prevent hazard from being released

- Exclusion zones (no personal in test zone)
- Whipcheck (make sure lines are tied down)
- EMS (medial personal to assist injured)
- ERP (emergency response plan)

TECHNICAL AREAS FOR NEW RIG

 Consider whether proper barriers are in place to prevent
release of hazard:
- Proper sized mud tanks for drill depth so there will
not be a shortage of mud if encounter kick/loss
situation, for example.
- BOPs are rated to anticipated pressure
