PSL Energy Services honoured for HSE record

Posted: 15 March 2004

Oil and gas services company PSL Energy Services Ltd has been honoured for its excellent health and safety record, and ground-breaking initiatives.

The Aberdeen-based company won the Health, Safety and Environment Award, sponsored by BP, in the Scottish Offshore Achievement Awards.

The awards are organised by Scottish Enterprise’s Energy Team in conjunction with industry sponsors and recognise the outstanding achievements of companies in the offshore energy sector.

The judges were impressed with a wide range of HSE improvements and initiatives introduced by the company over the last year and its 31 month LTA-free record.

The implementation of an Integrated Management System has significantly streamlined documentation and improved the workforce’s overall understanding of the system objectives.

Employees working together with the company’s QHSE department identified opportunities where rationalisation would bring multiple benefits to personnel, customers and suppliers.

PSL were able to show a strategy of simplifying procedures by introducing Process Flow Diagrams improved business performance and led to the widespread understanding and visibility of HSE standards and systems.

The company-wide adoption of the Du Pont STOP safety programme, allied with regular safety meetings, employee forums, on-site toolbox talks and an internal safety bulletin system, ensures that all safety issues are focused, addressed and communicated throughout the company.

PSL’s safety performance has improved year on year over the past five years, resulting in zero recordings of LTA in the last 31 months.

The judging panel heard PSL conducted regular management reviews, attended by directors and senior managers, at which trend analysis, improvement opportunities and specialise training requirements were agreed and approved.

Managing director Doug Duguid said: “We believe that our excellent safety performance is related to the introduction of company work groups that are populated by a cross section of employees. Getting this individual and team buy-in has created a sense of involvement and accountability.

“The strong safety culture that is inherent in our employees has been a major contribution to the year on year performance improvement.

“Our safety statistics/performances give clear evidence of the commitment to health and safety from our entire work force and we are delighted this SOOA award recognises our position as an industry leader in HSE.

“The award is a tribute to our hard working staff who continue to provide cost effective, innovative solutions for the oil and gas industries, without comprising our outstanding health and safety record.”

PSL’s QHSE manager, Bill Nelson, said: “Our staff have been superb in adapting to and supporting these new procedures and now actively seek personal objectives that will result in participation in the internal audit programme.

“They realise the importance of maintaining our reputation as a company which is seriously committed to health and safety issues and of the benefits it brings to themselves personally, to our business performance and to our customers.”
