Authority and Responsibility in Offshore Operations

This training helps offshore oil industry workers understand the federal Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) regulation that addresses hazard recognition and prevention systems. Viewers learn why every employee has stop-work authority, the importance of knowing who has ultimate work authority, why it is necessary to know what channels are available to report unsafe conditions, and how near miss reporting can help prevent accidents from occurring.

Information is delivered in modules, with a learning assessment following each section. Each worker’s duty to protect the safety of his or her co-workers and protect the environment from imminent risk of harm is emphasized in the training. The role and responsibilities of the person with ultimate work authority is defined. The need to provide credible information when reporting unsafe work conditions is stressed. Viewers learn they can confidentially report near misses without fear of reprisal from the employer.

This video training helps offshore oil field workers understand their roles in ensuring safe workplace practices to protect lives, as well as the environment.
