Course Overview

The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in diving and underwater operations safety; it has added to it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how operations safety is controlled. The most reliable predictor of sound the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Participants test their assumptions about diving and underwater operations safety against scenarios designed to break weak ones. A common pattern is strong design of this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations paired with weak follow-through. It suits anyone whose decisions touch operations safety, in large organisations and small ones alike. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in diving and underwater operations safety, not around theory headings. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what operations safety has actually achieved. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations survives a hostile question.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Course Modules

01

Diving and underwater operations safety: integrity, inspection and condition assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What the last incident involving diving and underwater operations safety should have taught us

  • Remove steps in diving and underwater operations safety that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Establish the alarm philosophy applying to operations safety and remove nuisance alarms.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around diving and underwater operations safety are understood.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of operations safety current.

Session 2Deciding between life extension and replacement for operations safety

  • Identify the failure modes of diving and underwater operations safety with the highest consequence.
  • Review the instrumentation on operations safety for coverage gaps.
  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios diving and underwater operations safety can create.
  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of operations safety.
02

Operations safety: incidents, lessons and continual improvement

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The environmental exposure created by operations safety

  • Confirm that lessons from diving and underwater operations safety are shared beyond the team that learned them.
  • Verify isolation points for operations safety are proven and documented.
  • Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on diving and underwater operations safety.
  • Model the economics of operations safety at low, base and high price cases.

Session 2Making operations safety work when resources are constrained

  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to diving and underwater operations safety will be introduced.
  • Set the review interval for operations safety and who attends.
  • Draft the minimum viable operating procedure for diving and underwater operations safety.
  • Rehearse the briefing on operations safety that would follow an incident.
03

Operations safety: technical fundamentals and operating envelope

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The operating limits on operations safety and what happens beyond them

  • Check that diving and underwater operations safety still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving operations safety.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on diving and underwater operations safety.
  • Confirm that those complying with operations safety understand why it exists.

Session 2Competence and handover on diving and underwater operations safety when experienced staff leave

  • Confirm handover documentation for diving and underwater operations safety is complete and current.
  • Identify single points of dependency in operations safety and reduce them.
  • Define the safe operating envelope for diving and underwater operations safety and how deviations are detected.
  • Build the competence framework that supports operations safety.
04

Operations safety: competence, certification and handover

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What has to be agreed before work on operations safety starts

  • Review whether diving and underwater operations safety is aligned with the objectives of the operating asset.
  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to operations safety.
  • Anticipate the objections diving and underwater operations safety will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Map the handovers in operations safety between functions and secure them.

Session 2Who answers for operations safety, and to whom

  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to diving and underwater operations safety.
  • Confirm that reporting on operations safety reaches the people who can act.
  • Check that the permit regime covering diving and underwater operations safety matches the actual hazard.
  • Rank the weaknesses in operations safety by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
